After becoming a concubine, she lived a miserable life every day.

Chapter 10 Rebirth

"Doctor Zhao, how is Qi You?" Qiao Rongjin asked hurriedly.

Hearing this, Doctor Zhao said, "The Fifth Young Master is still running a fever. Whether it gets better or worse depends on tonight. If the fever continues to rise again tonight, the result will probably not be ideal. But if he can survive tonight, the Fifth Young Master will be fine."

Hearing this, Qiao Rongjin nodded and thanked him. At this moment, he especially missed the modern cooling patches and antipyretic drugs.

At the moment, there was really nothing she could do. She could only do what she could and stay with Qi You.

Qiao Rongjin felt distressed when he saw that Qi You was sweating again and seemed to be sleeping uneasily. He picked up a wet towel beside him and wiped the sweat from his forehead. Then he asked the maid beside him to get a basin of cold water, wet the towel, folded it and placed it on Qi You's forehead to cool him down physically.

Speaking of this, Qiao Rongjin suddenly remembered that he could use white wine to wipe the child's body, and the evaporation of the white wine would dissipate the heat. It would not be a big deal if Qi You continued to have a fever like this. Children are fragile. What if the continued fever damaged his brain?

"Is there any liquor in the mansion?" Qiao Rongjin turned around and asked the maid beside him. The maid nodded hurriedly, but she was confused in her heart. What did Master Qiao want liquor for at this time?

"Go get some wine with a lower concentration, bring more, and be quick!"

Qiao Rongjin spoke in a serious tone. Although the maid didn't know what to do with it, she still went down to get it.

Doctor Zhao frowned when he heard this. What was Mrs. Qiao doing? Her son was sick with a fever, and she was in a good mood to ask someone to get some wine.

When in doubt, Doctor Zhao asked directly, "Master Qiao, what are you doing with the wine?"

Another doctor looked over curiously upon hearing this.

"Wipe the body with white wine can have a cooling effect. I've seen people use it before and it works. I want to try and see if I can cool Qi You down." Qiao Rongjin patiently explained the purpose of taking the wine.

However, some people are allergic to alcohol, which may irritate the skin and cause redness and itching. Qiao Rongjin did not mention this because it only happens to a very small number of people. If she had told them, she was afraid they would not use it. Using a low concentration should be fine.

As Qiao Rongjin finished speaking, Prince Rui, who had come in at some point and heard Qiao Rongjin's words, said, "Then let's give it a try."

Even if there is a glimmer of hope, we cannot let it go.

Doctor Zhao's eyes lit up when he heard this. Is this still possible? He wanted to try the effect.

Another doctor wanted to say it was nonsense, but the prince had agreed, so he quickly swallowed his words.

Qiao Rongjin didn't expect that Prince Rui would be behind him, so he quickly turned around and saluted.

Soon, the wine was brought, and just as the maid was about to start, Qiao Rongjin said, "Let me do it."

Upon hearing this, the maid handed the handkerchief in her hands to Qiao Rongjin with both hands, then stepped back and stood aside waiting for instructions.

At this time, the princess and others followed in. With so many people coming into the not-so-small room at once, the air was inevitably blocked, which was not good for the patients. Qiao Rongjin couldn't help but say to Prince Rui, "Your Majesty, I and Doctor Zhao are here. You and the princess and others can go out and rest first."

Hearing this, Prince Rui glanced at Qiao Rongjin, said nothing, turned around and left. The princess and others didn't want to stay here, and were afraid that they would get sick, so they all left.

Qiao Rongjin personally wiped Qi You's body gently. Looking at the skinny man, Qiao Rongjin thought that when the person woke up, she must take him back to raise him and make sure he was fat and white. He looked too skinny now, as if he was malnourished. But she knew that was not the case. It must be Qi You's physical condition that made him unable to gain weight after eating. After all, he was the prince's son, and who would dare not feed him?

Qiao Rongjin had never raised a child, so she was very interested and eager to try.

Before they knew it, it was already midnight. Prince Rui and others had already gone back to rest, leaving only Qiao Rongjin and his servant and two doctors to guard Qi You. Qiao Rongjin and Qinglian stayed in the house, while the two doctors were taking a nap outside.

The candlelight in the room was bright, and the child on the bed had already relaxed his frown. Qiao Rongjin touched his forehead and felt that the temperature had finally dropped a little, and he immediately smiled.

"You little guy, the temperature has finally dropped."

Qinglian, who was standing by, also heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and her mood became better. However, "Master, please take a nap. I will look after the Fifth Young Master."

Qinglian looked at her master in front of her with some heartache. She had only eaten some cakes and pastries all day and hadn't closed her eyes until now. It was already four o'clock in the morning and she hadn't closed her eyes yet. She even closed her eyes for a while.

"I'm not sleepy, you go to sleep." Qiao Rongjin was really not sleepy today. How could she sleep without seeing Qi You wake up?

Hearing this, Qinglian sighed and said helplessly, "I'm not sleepy either. I'll make some porridge for you and the Fifth Young Master." Not only will the master need to eat later, but the Fifth Young Master will also need to eat when he wakes up. Some white porridge that nourishes the stomach will be the most nutritious.

"Okay, go ahead."

I just gave him some medicine half an hour ago, and now I have to wait until dawn to take the next dose.

Qiao Rongjin tucked Qi You in, and seeing that his complexion had improved a lot, she raised the corners of her mouth slightly, held Qi You's little hand and said softly, "From now on, I will be your closest person. Although this is my first time being a mother, oh, no, I should call you mother, and this is also my first time being someone's mother, but I will take good care of you, Qi You, you have to wake up soon."

"When you wake up, I will take you back to Haitangyuan to live with me and Qinglian. We will never be separated again, and you will no longer be alone. You still have me..." Qiao Rongjin said as she leaned against the bed, looking forward to the future. Gradually, she fell asleep on the bed.

When the sound of Qiao Rongjin's even breathing was heard, the person on the bed slowly opened his eyes, and then a tear rolled down from the corner of his eye, slid into the quilt and disappeared.

Qi You turned his head slightly to look at the woman who was sleeping on the side of the bed. The expression in his eyes was not as clear as a child should have, but rather deep and complicated.

He knew that this was his biological mother, the one who had hated him since birth, the one he always longed for as a child but was unwilling to mention when he grew up, the one who was considered stupid, ignorant, and self-degrading by others. She was a thorn in his heart in past and present lives.

Yes, he is Qi You, but not the four-and-a-half-year-old Qi You, but the future Qi You, the vicious, unscrupulous, cruel and violent Emperor Chengde Qi You in the eyes of the court officials who are in their thirties.

In fact, he heard everything the woman said while he was sleeping, but he couldn't wake up. He also knew that she had been guarding him all night and had always been taking care of him, but didn't she hate him? How could she take care of him so meticulously? This was a surprise that was even greater than the fact that he had died and come back to life.

Did God let him live again to make up for the maternal love he lacked since childhood? Qi You didn't know.
