Perfect Destiny

Ch2.6 - I like you, believe me

Handsome Broken Legged Little Military Advisor [6]

In the next ten days or so, Chen Liguo had rarely attended the imperial court and instead took a sick leave.

Even if Le Qi had an obtuse personality, he could see that the events of that night had dealt a blow on his Lord. When he delivered the meal this day, he asked Chen Liguo carefully if he was uncomfortable anywhere.

Chen Liguo lay in bed and said that he was fine and permitted Le Qi to go out.

When Le Qi heard this his pair of beautiful almond-shaped eyes began to mist all over again. He said, "Milord, you must not harm your body due to anger."

Chen Liguo sighed lowly, "You need not say anything more, I have a sense of propriety."

Le Qi had wanted to continue to speak, but because of his servant status, he did not say anything and turned away.

Chen Liguo saw Le Qi leave, yawned and covered himself with his quilt planning on continuing to sleep. The bed was very warm and Chen Liguo was laid sleeping in it. It was only until Le Qi came to deliver dinner and saw him lying still and became surprised. "Milord, you're still sleeping?"

Chen Liguo mumbled slowly.

Le Qi rushed forward and touched Chen Liguo's forehead, then he hesitated and said, "Milord, you seem to have a fever..."

Chen Liguo didn't speak.

Le Qi said, "Milord, let me call a doctor for you. Your body is too weak to drag this on."

Chen Liguo coughed twice and said, "I'm fine."

Le Qi's eyes were filled with worry.

Chen Liguo saw that he still intended to persuade him and helplessly said, "Alright, you go call the doctor."

Le Qi made a sound of agreement and rushed out.

After a while, the doctor came and helped Chen Liguo feel his pulse. He frowned and said, "Lord Ji, this is a heart disease caused by too much stress."

Chen Liguo lowered his eyes and didn't speak.

Le Qi said, "Then may I trouble[1] doctor to prescribe some medicine for my family's Lord."

The doctor nodded and said, "Medicines are merely meant to have supplementary effects and cannot cure the worry of the heart."

Le Qi bit his lips, revealing a sad expression.

The doctor also explained to Chen Liguo important things that he would need to take note of and after prescribing the medicine, he got up and left.

Le Qi picked up the medicine prescription from the doctor and asked, "Milord, is there anything you'd like to eat?"

Chen Liguo was quiet for a moment, then said quietly, "How about you go to Hongyan House and pack up a Joyous Feast dish to take back."

When Le Qi heard the words "Joyous Feast dish" he thought there was a problem with his ears. He had a foolish expression and stayed for a while before he confirmed, "Mi-Milord, you want to eat a Joyous Feast dish?"

Chen Liguo said: "Mhmm."

Le Qi was dumbstruck, "But the Joyous Feast dish is so greasy..." The Joyous Feast dish was a very famous dish in the Hongyan House. It used all the best foods—what abalone sea cucumber, exotic mushrooms, whatever was high class, they'd use it, making it as fancy and high-class as possible. Clearly, this kind of feast is totally unsuitable for patients.
