Chapter 3 Fever

Seeing that those people were glaring at her fiercely, Qin Ran's mind was working rapidly.

"..."

The book says that in addition to some prisoners with serious crimes, the family of the Minister of the Palace were also exiled with the Marquis of Zhenguo.

She was also implicated by the Marquis of Zhenguo's Mansion, dismissed from her official position, and exiled with the others. That pretty-looking woman should be Cheng Yuwan, the eldest daughter of the Minister's Mansion.

She has always admired Duan Jingyun and even went to his house to propose marriage without caring about her dignity, but unfortunately, the flower is willing but the water is not.

Duan Jingyun only had the original body, this stupid woman, in his heart, and he married her back home despite his family's opposition.

As a result, the entire Zhenguo Marquis Mansion was harmed. I guess he must be regretting it now.

She glanced at the line in front of her again. Among these prisoners, at least eight out of ten hated her.

She is definitely hated by everyone. She is too scary. It is better to stay away from her. If you can't afford to offend her, you can always hide from her. She stepped back again.

The team continued to move forward. There were more than 200 people in the team, and no one spoke, except for the sound of chains rubbing against the ground.

Just occasionally, I could hear sighs. The atmosphere was very depressing and it was almost noon.

The sun was getting hotter and hotter. Qin Ran felt that her hair was about to be burned. She looked forward again.

"..."

He had no intention of stopping, and while no one was paying attention, he pulled out an oil-paper umbrella from the space.

The moment the scorching sun above my head was blocked, I felt like I was alive again, and even my legs felt a lot stronger.

My mouth was dry and I felt like I was smoking from thirst, so I took out a bottle of mineral water from the space.

Under the shelter of the oil-paper umbrella, he drank most of the bottle in one gulp, which restored some of his strength.

But the people in front were not so comfortable. The sun was getting hotter and hotter, and they had walked such a long way.

There was no food in their stomachs, and they were all tired and hungry. They were all listless and their bodies were soaked with sweat.

Just when everyone was about to give up, a cry of surprise came from the front of the crowd.

"Jingyun! Wake up!"

"Hmm?" Qin Ran leaned forward and looked forward.

It seemed like something had happened. There were too many people and I couldn’t see clearly, so I moved closer.

He moved closer and closer, and before he knew it, he was right in front of Duan Jingyun, who was lying on the ground with his eyes closed.

The clothes were all stained with blood, and there was fresh blood in many places, probably from the wounds inside.

"What's wrong with Jingyun?" Old Madam Duan came up to him, leaning on a stick.

"Mother, Jingyun has a fever." Second Madam Ding looked at her son worriedly, tears streaming down her face.

The fever is so severe, I’m really worried that something might happen to him.

“…” Old Madam Duan frowned.

He glanced ahead, hesitated for a moment, and then walked over with the stick.

"Sir, my grandson has a fever. Do you have any medicine?"

In order to make money, they thought they should have this thing in stock. At most they would just have to spend more money. Li Jia glanced in the direction of Duan Jingyun.

He smiled helplessly at Old Madam Duan.

"Madam, we really don't have this thing prepared." Then he looked at Duan Jingyun lying on the ground.

The prince wanted Duan Jingyun to die on the road, but he was worried that he had no good way to deal with it, if he died by himself.

That would save me some effort, but how could I possibly help him cure his illness?

“……” Old Madam Duan clenched her back teeth.

Looking at Li Jia, who had a friendly face in front of him, he said nothing in the end and turned back.

However, the hands holding the stick were shaking. It was not that they didn't have medicine, it was obvious that they didn't want Jingyun to live.

Ding and the others also heard what Li Jia said. This time they could not stop crying. Hearing his mother crying, Duan Jingyun slowly opened his eyes.

"Mother, I'm fine." He gritted his teeth and propped himself up. He glanced coldly at Li Jia who was staring at him, and stood up suddenly.

"..."

It's not easy to kill him.

"Since everything is fine, let's continue on our way!" Li Jia greeted everyone again.

He glanced at Duan Jingyun inadvertently again. He was indeed the god of death on the battlefield. Even when he was about to die, his eyes were still so terrifying.

"..." Qin Ran turned around.

He saw many people glaring at him fiercely. He was stunned for a moment and looked around.

Shit! Here comes the minefield!
I was so busy watching the fun that I didn't notice I ended up here. I quickly went back to the safe zone.

I walked to the end of the line with my big belly, and only then did I breathe a sigh of relief.

It was safe this time, and he leaned forward to take another look.

"..."

The original man was quite strong. Even with such serious injuries, he could still walk.

The book says that Duan Jingyun was tortured in prison and his bones were broken.

He died after only a few days of exile, and the Marquis of Zhenguo also met a tragic end. He touched his face.

If Duan Jingyun died, with her troublesome face and a nursing baby, how could anything be alright for her?

No, Duan Jingyun cannot be let die. Even for my own sake, I have to save his life.

If he really died, even if I wasn't tortured to death by those beasts, I would at least be bullied to death by the people in the Marquis Zhenguo's Mansion.

So no matter from which angle you consider it, Duan Jingyun's life must be saved and he can return to his previous life at night.

I have to get him some medicine, I can't let him die. Just as I was thinking about it, I noticed an unfriendly gaze.

When she looked up, it was Cheng Yuwan, who was glaring at her with gritted teeth.

"..."

Damn it, she hasn’t even started yet. I just pulled the oil-paper umbrella down and didn’t bother to look at her.

"..." Cheng Yuwan gritted her teeth in hatred.

He glared at Qin Ran fiercely. This damn woman had caused Brother Jingyun to be injured like this, and had also caused them to be exiled with him, suffering from the ravages of the scorching sun.

She was so good that she even held an umbrella and really thought this was an outing.

Even the others turned around from time to time to look behind them. Seeing Qin Ran holding an oil-paper umbrella, they all looked at her in a disapproving manner.

Qin Ran had already been immune to it. She simply pulled down the oil-paper umbrella and looked at the ground below her feet.

But it was not a pleasant experience. I was carrying a big belly and had walked such a long way that my legs were almost numb.

Not only was my body covered in sweat, but even my hair was wet. I thought that even if I didn't have lunch, I could still take a break.

As a result, I was not even allowed to go to the toilet. I had to keep walking forward under the scorching sun. In the end, I couldn't even lift my feet.

They were just rubbing against the ground, and the condition of the others was not much better, especially those from the Marquis Zhenguo Mansion and the Minister's Mansion.

Normally when I travel I either ride in a carriage or a sedan chair. I have never suffered such a great hardship, not to mention I have had nothing to eat or drink.

Everyone was exhausted and dizzy, and just when everyone was about to give up, Li Jia's voice came.

"Rest where you are."

As soon as the words fell, everyone collapsed, and some even lay down.

Qin Ran was not much better. She supported her big belly, slowly sat down on the ground, and let out a long breath.

"..."

Damn it! I was so tired that I was about to lie down and rest when I heard the voice of Second Madam Ding.

"My Lord, I beg you, let's go get some medicine."
