378 Forced Her to Lie Still

When she entered the room to study the decoction, she had told Rong Zhan in advance that she would need three to five days to develop the final decoction.

In the end, she had only used two days. Why did Rong Zhan still look dissatisfied?

Seeing Gu Qingxue looking at him in confusion, Rong Zhan took a deep breath and carried Gu Qingxue up by her waist.

Gu Qingxue looked surprised and struggled subconsciously.

Rong Zhan lowered his eyes to look at Gu Qingxue who was struggling and loosened his hand on purpose.

Gu Qingxue was shocked, and subconsciously hugged Rong Zhan’s neck tightly. She steadied herself and was carried by him to the bed.

After carrying Gu Qingxue all the way to the bed, Rong Zhan quickly carried Gu Qingxue in the direction of the bed. After covering her with the quilt, he said without a doubt, “Lie down and rest.”

Gu Qingxue was so anxious that she wanted to sit up. “Your Royal Highness, it wasn’t easy to finish the decoction. I have to watch the villagers take the decoction. I don’t have time to rest.”

Rong Zhan did not say anything but continued to press down on Gu Qingxue’s shoulder forcefully, forcing her to lie down and not move.

“I’ll order someone to distribute the decoction. You should rest first,” Rong Zhan said forcefully.

Gu Qingxue was forced to lie down. The moment her body touched the bed, the fatigue that was suppressed in her body swept out, making her subconsciously want to close her eyes and sleep.

However, her strong sense of responsibility reminded Gu Qingxue not to act recklessly. She shook her head. “Your Royal Highness, I’m not sleepy.”

Gu Qingxue had just finished speaking when she regretted it.

It was because she could clearly see that Rong Zhan’s expression had changed at a speed visible to the naked eye after hearing her words.

She had never seen Rong Zhan’s expression so gloomy. It seemed that if she said one more word, the person in front of her would immediately be angered.

It was said that a wise man submits to circ.u.mstances. Gu Qingxue had a strong desire to survive. She knew very well that she could not afford to offend this man in front of her.

Gu Qingxue obediently gave up resisting. She reminded Rong Zhan worriedly, “Your Royal Highness, the medicine can be taken after it is diluted with water…”

She told Rong Zhan in detail how to dilute the medicine and the whole process of taking the medicine. After seeing Rong Zhan nod his head, Gu Qingxue finally felt relieved.

“Then I’ll leave everything to you, Your Royal Highness…” as Gu Qingxue spoke, she was swallowed up by drowsiness and soon fell into a deep sleep.

After making sure that Gu Qingxue was only asleep, Rong Zhan finally felt relieved.

After covering Gu Qingxue with the quilt, Rong Zhan got up, took the medicine, and left the room.

Gu Qingxue did not know how long she had been asleep, but she felt that she had slept well. She felt completely relaxed. When she woke up and opened her eyes, she found that it was bright outside the window.

Looking at the position of the sun in the sky and calculating the time, Gu Qingxue was surprised to find that she had only slept for two hours despite sleeping so well.

Just when Gu Qingxue was surprised by her amazing physical strength, the door was pushed open from the outside. Then, Lil’ Qi, who was wearing a mask and carrying a basin of water, walked in.

Lil’ Qi looked up and saw Gu Qingxue had woken up. She was overjoyed and immediately walked up to her, she looked at her excitedly and asked, “Lady Gu, You’re finally awake! You’ve slept for a whole day and night. If the Royal Highness hadn’t asked the doctor to see you and said that you were just sleeping, we wouldn’t be at ease!”
