Fang Chuning had a fever, and it was burning fiercely. Tao Yao and Liu Ruo called a doctor in the middle of the night. Xie Jue, who was staying in the neighboring courtyard, was also awakened and hurried over to check. Fang Chuning's face showed an abnormal flush, drenched in hot sweat, and he was half-reclining weakly. The room was filled with a strong medicinal smell. Xie Jue anxiously sat by his bedside, reached out to feel his forehead, "Why is the fever so severe?"
Fang Chuning had always been in good health. The warm climate in Jiangnan was perfect for recuperating. How could he suddenly fall ill for no apparent reason? Fang Chuning leaned back slightly. Xie Jue's warm palm was already pressed against his forehead. He was burning with discomfort and too weak to resist, "Stay away, so you don't catch the illness."
