Doted By The Regent King-Chapter 1087 - 1085: Fell Ill

It’s unclear if someone was thinking about her or what, but Wufu sneezed several times in a row. She looked pitifully at Jadeite, as if she were looking at an enemy, her expression full of grievance, making people laugh.

Jadeite coughed lightly, held back her laughter, and put on a stern face: "Miss, even if you’re staring at me, this medicine must be taken."

Wufu said, "Just leave it there, I’ll take it later."

"No way." Jadeite shook her head resolutely, saying, "I need to personally watch you take it, otherwise, who knows if the medicine ends up in your stomach or the flowerpot!"

As she spoke, she glanced at the camellia blooming brilliantly on the windowsill.

Who would have thought that this young lady, fearless going up mountains and crossing rivers, wouldn’t even bat an eye at killing, would be afraid of a bowl of medicine? Alright, she admits that the medicine prescribed is a bit bitter, but good medicine is bitter, how can one recover without taking it?

Indeed, this person, after being busy day in and day out for so long, finally fell ill, catching a cold and then a cough, and yet wouldn’t cooperate in taking medicine, quietly feeding it to the flowerpot.

Hearing this, Wufu gave a couple of dry, guilty laughs.

"Take it." Xiao Qi, sitting in the chair with a serious face, glared at Wufu, saying, "Take it, get better." 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Apparently, not only Jadeite was worried about Wufu’s illness, but even Xiao Qi was concerned.

Ma Nao, holding candied fruits, also said, "Miss, just drink it all in one go, then eat some candied fruits to sweeten your mouth. What I have here was made by Shui Jing over the last few days; they are especially sweet."

Seeing there was no avoiding it, Wufu had to take the medicine, looking like she was facing death, and gulped it down in one go.

The medicine, more bitter than gall, slid down her throat so bitterly that her facial features scrunched up, and the bitterness surged up, almost making her want to vomit it out.

With quick reflexes, Ma Nao forked a few candied fruits into Wufu’s mouth with a silver fork. The sweetness in her mouth offset the bitterness a bit, but it was still uncomfortable.

Jadeite breathed a sigh of relief, coaxing her to take medicine was truly like coaxing a child. Seeing Wufu’s aggrieved expression, she said, "Good girl, you’ll get better soon, just two more doses."

Wufu widened her eyes: "Jadeite, are you intentionally retaliating against me? Such bitter medicine, and I have to take two more doses? I’m already better."

"Oh? Who sneezed a few times just now?" Jadeite gently mocked, "Miss, you are our leader. If you collapse, what will we do? Won’t everything come to a halt?"

She said this just to poke at Wufu’s sense of responsibility. In fact, over the past month or so, Wufu, like a press machine, had ground everyone around her, elevating everyone’s problem-solving abilities by more than a notch.

Moreover, Wufu wasn’t someone who liked to do everything herself; she preferred to delegate authority. If you have the ability, step up, no questions about the process, only the result matters. If lacking capability, then step aside and let the able take charge.

No one likes being looked down upon, especially not a woman, so everyone put all their effort into the tasks at hand.

So, even if Wufu was bedridden, things wouldn’t fall into chaos below her.

Wufu said, "Alright, encouragement doesn’t mean much to me."

"In any case, miss needs to get better quickly; otherwise, if Sister Zi Yu returns and miss isn’t better yet, we’re all in trouble." Jadeite ’threatened’.

Wufu rolled her eyes; too strong-headed maids weren’t good in this era either.

"Has Purple Jade arrived?" Wufu changed the topic.

Jadeite smiled: "The last letter said they’ve already entered Sichuan-Shu, so they should have arrived at Huayang by now."

"That’s good." Wufu also smiled; she was looking forward to Purple Jade coming back quickly.
