Chapter 250 Bathing

Shí Yan heard the sound of the medicine bowl hitting the table and knew it was the last mouthful.

His mind raced. Just as Jiang Jiuchu, having finished feeding him the medicine, was about to withdraw her lips, he suddenly raised his hand and covered the back of her neck, kissing her fiercely.

Jiang Jiuchu, who had finally managed to finish feeding the bitter medicine and was planning to quickly get up and rinse her mouth, was shocked by Shí Yan’s sudden kiss. Her eyes widened instantly, staring at Shí Yan, who still had his eyes closed, and she immediately reached out and pushed him away forcefully.

Perhaps because Shí Yan was unconscious, she easily broke free and stood up.

“You…”

Just as Jiang Jiuchu was about to burst into a scolding, she saw Shí Yan frowning tightly as if in a nightmare, his voice urgent and uneasy, saying:

“Jiuchu… don’t ignore me, don’t ignore me.”

“I was wrong… I was wrong…” With each “I was wrong,” his voice grew lower and lower, until he returned to calm and fell into a deep sleep.

Jiang Jiuchu raised her hand and brushed Shí Yan’s brow. Wrong? Now she didn’t even know if he was wrong or not.

But she knew that if the time were longer, or if some uncontrollable factors occurred, they would really never be able to go back.

Moreover, as far as she was concerned, no injury could compare to the sharp blade in his hand, even if it was fake, not fatal, the pain was real.

“Miss, the water is here.” Green Luo, Green Yi, and Mu Qing came in carrying water.

“Good, pour it directly into the tub. Mu Qing, come and help me get him in for a soak.”

“Oh, okay, coming.” Mu Qing quickly poured the two buckets of water she was carrying into the tub, then hurried over.

Jiang Jiuchu looked at Mu Qing running over and tilted her head to ask, “You seem a little happy!”

“Ah, is… is there?” Mu Qing raised her hand and touched her cheek. She… she was just a little happy in her heart, could that really be seen?

Jiang Jiuchu curled her lips. “Hurry up and help me.”

The two of them helped Shí Yan to the side of the tub, but Mu Qing stopped. “Miss, are we just putting him in like this? These clothes…?”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jiuchu deliberately said, “Alright, then you take them off.”

Mu Qing was shocked and shook her head hurriedly. “No, no, this servant cannot do such delicate work, Miss, you should do it.”

Jiang Jiuchu snorted coldly in her heart. She could see that these people were all a little happy.

She turned to Green Luo and Green Yi and asked, “Do you think we should take them off?”

Green Luo and Green Yi nodded. “Miss, we should take them off.”

“Alright, then you take them off.” Hmph, these maids whose elbows are turned outwards, see if she doesn’t teach them a lesson.

Upon hearing this, Green Luo and Green Yi also looked shocked. “Miss, this servant dares not take them off. We have never taken off a man’s clothes before. Miss, you should just let us go out.”

Shí Yan’s brow twitched. This woman actually wanted other women to take off his clothes. Was his purity so unimportant?

Hearing this, Jiang Jiuchu followed up, “That won’t work either. If you don’t hold him, how can I take them off alone, and how can I get him into the tub?”

“Then, then, then, let’s not take them off.” Mu Qing finished speaking and quickly helped Shí Yan into the tub, then hurriedly took Green Luo and Green Yi out of the room.

She knew that the Emperor was not really unconscious. If they saw the Emperor tonight, they might not see the sun tomorrow.

Moreover, she had just thought that the Emperor couldn’t go to bed in wet clothes after soaking, so there was no need for her to say anything, the Miss would have to take them off anyway.

Thinking of this, she whispered a few words to the two of them, and then they all retreated to rest, leaving no one to order around at the door.

Inside the room, Jiang Jiuchu found a cushion to put on the edge of the tub, helped Shí Yan’s head to lean on it, yawned, and then went around the screen and lay down on the chaise lounge to rest.

Shí Yan opened his eyes, slightly turned his head and looked behind the screen, his lips curving into a sly smile.

However, his good mood lasted less than half an hour before it was instantly dashed by the faint breathing coming from Jiang Jiuchu.

Because he felt that Jiang Jiuchu would definitely sleep until dawn, so he…

Sure enough, an hour later, the water was cold, but Jiang Jiuchu still showed no sign of waking up.

Shí Yan helplessly rubbed his forehead, thinking that if he were really unconscious with a high fever, wouldn’t he be finished if she left him in cold water all night…

Jiang Jiuchu was sleeping soundly when suddenly a sound of water entered her ears. She frowned, intending to continue sleeping, but suddenly thought of something. Her eyes suddenly opened, and she immediately got up and ran behind the screen to the west.

Going around the screen and seeing that Shí Yan, who had been leaning against the tub, was gone, she was shocked and hurried over.

Shí Yan in the water was bubbling from his mouth and nose, his handsome face tightly wrinkled.

“Shí Yan.” She was so frightened that she quickly reached out to pull Shí Yan out of the tub.

Shí Yan’s original plan was to take the opportunity to pull Jiang Jiuchu into the tub, but he changed his mind temporarily and obediently allowed Jiang Jiuchu to pull him out of the water.

He leaned against the edge of the tub, coughing desperately, until his eyes turned red before he leaned weakly against the edge of the tub.

“How is it?” Jiang Jiuchu asked while patting Shí Yan’s back.

But she saw Shí Yan raise a pair of half-open eyes and looked at her weakly before closing them again.

Seeing this, Jiang Jiuchu planned to take advantage of Shí Yan still having some consciousness to quickly help him up from the water that had already cooled down.

But just as she raised Shí Yan’s arm and looked at his clothes that were completely soaked, she had to put it down again and reach out to take off his clothes.

After taking off his upper garment, she once again carried Shí Yan’s arm and tried to help him up while saying, “Hey, stand firm, don’t fall again.”

Perhaps her words were effective. The unconscious Shí Yan seemed to have heard some of them. Although he was heavy, she managed to help him up.

Then, she reached out to take off Shí Yan’s trousers.

After taking off his trousers, Jiang Jiuchu looked at Shí Yan’s underwear, which was soaked and clinging tightly to his body, her eyes a little conflicted.

She glanced at the bath towel draped on the side, her eyes turned, and she immediately reached out and pulled the bath towel and tied it around Shí Yan’s waist.

Looking at the underwear that she had pulled down to his thighs, her brow twitched. For a moment, she didn’t know what she was doing?

“Lift your foot.” Her voice was a little angry.

Hearing Jiang Jiuchu’s somewhat angry voice, Shí Yan did not lift his foot, but the arms that were around Jiang Jiuchu’s shoulders tightened.

Jiang Jiuchu was helpless, yelling to lift his foot while bending over to lift his leg.

In this way, Jiang Jiuchu slowly managed to get Shí Yan out of the tub.

After bringing him to the side of the bed, she used her last bit of strength and pushed him hard onto the bed.

“Go on…”
