She jumped off the car, found an empty space, and picked up a few stones to build a temporary small stove. However, she became anxious when she started a fire, because it had just rained in the surroundings, and the soil on the ground was wet. She couldn't light a fire even after a few times.

In the midst of her anxiety, a slender hand took the Fire Break from her hands and said, ”Let me do it.”

He didn't know how Gu Yiqing did it, but after he used something to stir up the moist wood, a fire was slowly ignited.

Gu Yiqing personally looked at the fire medicine. When the medicine was ready, it was dried until it was warm. Only then did she take it.

Gu Jinzhu's face was red in the face, and she clenched her teeth tightly. After feeding it a few times, the fragrance flowed from her lips and almost spilled half of it.

The two girls were at a loss of what to do. In the end, Gu Yiqing could not stand to watch any longer. She supported Gu Jinzhu up and leaned against him. One of her hands pinched open her jaw and she swallowed the medicine.

Both Yun Xiang and Bi Xi looked at each other, feeling uneasy. Gu Jinzhu was in his embrace, her black hair flowing down one of his shoulders. He had one arm around her and the other hand feeding her medicine, as if he was holding a beautiful pearl in his arms.

Although the two girls knew they were lacking in status, their faces still turned red. Gayn's scene was just too beautiful; it was only a few years apart. The man was as handsome as the moon, and the girl was as delicate as a flower.

Yun Xiang stared blankly. She had initially been wary of men and women, but a strange thought suddenly flashed through her mind. If Third Master Gu and Young Miss weren't from the same family, then they were quite compatible.

Luckily, Gu Yiqing quickly finished feeding the medicine, put down the beads, and carefully tucked her in. He told the two girls to take good care of her at night and jumped off the car. No one noticed that the tip of his left hand could not help but gently touch it, as if he could still feel that silky warmth.

That night, the three girls slept in the carriage while Gu Yiqing and her servant rested with their backs against a tree.

Even though the two girls took turns taking care of her during the night, Gu Jinzhu's illness had started to occur again and again in the morning. Her forehead was burning hot again, and even drinking medicine wouldn't have any effect.

The weather was still gloomy. The air was mixed with moisture, giving off the feeling of a gloomy rain.

The two girls were so anxious that their faces changed. Gu Yiqing only hesitated for a moment before instructing Xue Yi, ”Change the route and leave from the Tong Mansion!”

Meng Xue Yi was shocked. ”Grandpa, if I were to change my path, it would take at least three days!”

No one knew more than he did how anxious his master was. They were afraid that a change might happen in Binzhou City if they delayed for even one more day.

However, Gu Jinzhu's illness could no longer be dragged on. Gu Yiqing raised her whip and urged her horse to go in the other direction. Meng Xueyi could not do anything but follow her in the car.

Along the way, the carriage jolted non-stop. Gu Jinzhu's sleep was very unstable. As Yun Xiang watched her young miss wither and lose weight in just two days, her heart ached to the point of almost crying.

In the past, when they talked about going out, they had always wanted to go out for sightseeing, but who would have thought that they would suffer so much? They would eat and sleep so badly, and even the usually lively Biden would lose her spirit and stay in the corner of the car.
