Gu Yiqing nodded and didn't say anything else.

Yun Xiang opened her mouth at the back, almost wanting to say that it would weaken the young miss's spirit and could she rest for one more day. But after considering the young lady's scruples, she closed her mouth in the end.

After they got in the car, Yun Xiang felt sorry for her young miss who had been so tired yesterday. She spread out the brocade bed sheets, which were so thick that Gu Jinzhu could lie down. This reduced the bumpiness of the carriage and the bumpiness of the horses.

Biwan lit up a bronze furnace and placed it at Gu Jinzhu's feet. It was probably because she had caught a cold last night, but her head was aching so badly that it felt like a chill.

During the rainy season of June, it was already raining heavily in Jiangnan. The sky was dark and the air was filled with a humid and cold atmosphere. The rain outside the car never stopped, as if it was never going to stop.

Even though Yun Xiang had already pulled down the curtain of the carriage, a cold wind blew in through the window with a drizzle. The cold wind brushed Gu Jinzhu's forehead, and she only felt her head getting more and more drowsy as she fell asleep.

Gu Yiqing was in a hurry, so he deviated from the main road and took shortcuts.

The terrain became increasingly desolate and remote. After travelling for more than half a day, he still hadn't seen any inns. At noon, he could only stop in the wilderness to eat something.

He and his attendants carried dry rations with them, and they were used to being in the wild, so he did not mind.

Yun Xiang and Biwan, on the other hand, were extremely worried. In this wilderness, which was filled with rain, there was no way for them to pick up food and food, they never would have thought that it would be such a difficult situation. They thought that it would be like when they followed Old Madam Chen Family, where there would be an inn to rest while out, so they didn't prepare any food at all.

Yun Xiang could only use the stove to make some soup to ward off the cold. She then took out the several pastries that she had prepared earlier. Unfortunately, Gu Jinzhu was not feeling well, so she could only reluctantly eat a few mouthfuls before lying down again.

Gu Jinzhu was still in a daze, not knowing if the car was still moving or not. Her entire body seemed to be floating in the clouds. After who knows how long, she suddenly heard Biwan scream, "Wow, the girl seems to be having a fever. Why is her face so red …"

"Really?" Yun Xiang was startled and immediately rushed over. She extended a hand to cover Gu Jinzhu's forehead, but her expression immediately changed upon contact. "Heavens! Miss really has a fever. It's so hot …"

The two girls immediately became flustered. Yun Xiang was afraid that Gu Jinzhu would faint, so she tried to help her up while softly calling out to her.

Biwan was so anxious that she was running in circles as she muttered, "What should I do? What should I do …"

She hurriedly went to rummage through her bag. When she was about to leave, she prepared a small bag of commonly used medicine. There were those that suffered from headaches, coughs, and bruises. However, when she searched through the bag in the corner, she didn't find the medicine bag.

Gu Jinzhu opened her eyes at Yun Xiang's call. She only glanced at her once before closing her eyes again.

Yun Xiang's heart was burning with anxiety. Her daughter's eyes were misty and her cheeks were red. Even her breath was scorching hot. She didn't know why it had suddenly become so hot.

Biwan was so anxious that she was on the verge of tears. None... "Where did it go? I clearly remember leaving it here …"

She opened all the parcels, almost all the carts, but there was no sign of the life-saving package.

"Think about it. Did you put the medicine bag in your bag when you went out?"

"I let go! I clearly let that little pendant …" Biwan's voice suddenly stopped, and her eyes abruptly opened wide.

She remembered, she had told the little pendant to send the medicine bag to the carriage, but when Miss Chen's little girl came over, she forgot about it.

Right now, the food and clothes that Miss Chen had sent were all here, but the medicine bag was missing. Could it be that the medicine bag hadn't been delivered at all?

Biwan's tears finally rolled down her face as she was in such a rush. Now that Yun Xiang knew about it, she couldn't help grumbling. No wonder Miss Chen cursed Miss for breaking her leg. She actually tripped on her in secret!

She quickly stopped the car and told Gu Yiqing.

Gu Yiqing was also a bit surprised. Gu Jinzhu fell ill after only two days?

He lifted the curtain and saw that Gu Jinzhu was still unconscious. There was a touch of bright red on her white cheeks. She looked like a peach flower in March, adding a touch of glamour to her beauty.

He pulled her wrist and concentrated on her pulse, his brow furrowing.

Gu Jinzhu was a young lady who was raised in her room and had never been out before. She was weak to begin with, and as soon as she went out, he was in a hurry.

He hesitated, then put his hand on her forehead and tested the temperature.

Gu Jinzhu was in a daze, and she only felt a touch of coolness on her forehead. It was like a top quality jade that was soaked to the brim with coolness and comfort.

She couldn't help but rub herself against him. A scorching, soft breath brushed against his palm, causing his movements to pause.

Gu Yiqing retracted his hand. There was no expression on his face that was as handsome as the moon. He only said lightly, "She's cold. Cover her up tight. Don't let her get caught in the wind."

Yun Xiang hurriedly pulled the curtain of the carriage shut, the edges of the carriage completely blocked up. She then pulled out a blanket and covered Gu Jinzhu with it.

Gu Yiqing told Biwan to take some water and wet Gu Jinzhu's forehead with a soft towel, but the medicine side was troubled. Gu Yiqing told Biwan to take some water and wet Gu Jinzhu's forehead with a soft towel, but the medicine side was troubled.

Now that he was in the wilderness, it was too late for him to return. He only hesitated for a moment before instructing Xue Yi to find a secluded forest to stop. He then sped away through the rain.

Even though Yunxiang and Biwan were anxious, they had no other choice but to change into wet cloths and take good care of their young mistress.

The rain did not stop until nightfall. Gu Jinzhu was in a deep slumber, and occasionally she would talk in her sleep. The fragrance of the rain grew more and more anxious as she opened Gu Jinzhu's collar and soaked it in water to wipe her body dry.

Biwan continuously lifted the curtain and looked into the distance, it was drizzling heavily, the sky was getting darker, it was almost completely dark, Gu Yiqing still hadn't returned, the strange cry of a bird came from the forest, she was anxious and afraid. Luckily, the servant outside had been watching, so she put down some snacks.

The black-clothed servant looked terrifying, and he was also a bit fierce. However, he was truly devoted to his duty, and had always been standing by the side of the carriage.

Biwan looked at the man who had been standing straight like a javelin in the rain. He was drenched all over, but he did not move at all. After hesitating for a while, she finally could not bear to pass the umbrella to him.

"Here, this is for you …"

The man was stunned for a moment, as if he had not expected her to speak to him.

Biwan was still a little afraid of him, but seeing that he wasn't going to pick her up, she threw the umbrella into his arms and closed the curtain at the same time.

The man held the umbrella. Although his face was still expressionless, he still opened the umbrella.

The sound of horse hooves could be heard in the distance. In the blink of an eye, they had arrived like a gust of wind. Gu Yiqing flew down from the horse and threw a bag of medicine on Yun Xiang's bosom. "Fry this up."
