Ever since Yuan Bohua had a fever, he had not gone to the nearby imperial manor and had been living in Princess Yongchun's manor.

He also ordered people to guard the area around Yuan Bohua's yard tightly and not allow anyone else to approach, especially Yuan Chaochang and Sun Yuancheng.

Ever since Yuan Bohua often went to the nearby imperial farm, Yuan Chaochang and Sun Yuancheng could no longer get close to where Yuan Bohua lived.

Of course, they both understood why. At this time, they could not help, nor did they want to cause trouble for their father/godfather.

So they played by themselves every day, and even if they were bored, they had no intention of looking for Yuan Bohua.

However, during this period, the words Sun Yuancheng heard the most were Yuan Chaochang talking about his younger brother, "If only my second brother were here, he would definitely be able to guess what father is doing, is there anything wrong?"

Yuan Chaochang and Sun Yuancheng were sitting by the fire by the river, each holding a grilled fish and eating it.

If you ignore the two small fish that are almost carbonized, you will definitely think that Yuan Chaochang and the other person are eating some delicious food.

At least the two of them looked delicious.

"I don't know what Second Brother Kang and my stepmother are doing right now. And my mother and father, I wonder if they miss me?"

In fact, Sun Yuancheng really missed Princess Yongchun and Prince Consort Sun.

Especially this time, it was so dangerous, and his mother and father were still staying in a nearby farm with him. Sun Yuancheng secretly decided in his heart that when he returned, he would be less angry with his mother and father.

Yuan Chaochang listened to Sun Yuancheng's words and thought about the personalities of those people, "My mother and your mother must have received the news that we are fine.

I guess my mother and second brother are in the mood to go fishing now. If there is no place to fish, they should open up land on the farm to grow vegetables.

Recently, my mother and my second brother have been obsessed with growing vegetables.

As for your mother and father, they are probably wandering around the farm now, riding horses and hunting, looking very happy.

If the timing hadn't been wrong, they might have even attacked each other.

I'm only worried about my father now. I heard that the eldest prince is seriously ill and has been admitted."

When Yuan Chaochang talked about the news he had heard, he was extremely scared.

Smallpox, who wouldn't be afraid? Not only would you be afraid of being infected yourself, but you'd also be afraid of the people you care about being infected.

Yuan Chaochang now has no other choice but to tell Sun Yuancheng about his concerns.

Alas, it's another day of missing my brother.

Sun Yuancheng felt that what Brother Chang said was right. His mother and father knew that he was fine, and they were living a good life! He definitely didn't need to worry about them.

Sun Yuancheng patted the burnt part of the fish, took a bite from another spot, and advised, "Don't worry, your adoptive father has been to the battlefield, he won't fall down so easily."

"Hmm!" Yuan Chaochang responded absentmindedly and took a big bite of the fish near his mouth.

Then Yuan Chaochang spit it all out again, "Why is this fish bitter?"

When Sun Yuancheng saw Yuan Chaochang vomit, he spit out the fish he had been holding in his mouth. "I've been wanting to know why this fish is bitter."

Yuan Chaochang and Sun Yuancheng both looked at the people serving beside them in tacit understanding. One of them immediately stepped forward and replied respectfully:

"My two young masters, your fish didn't have its gills, scales, or internal organs removed, and it was even burnt. That's why it's bitter."

Yuan Chaochang and Sun Yuancheng did not vent their anger on the people around them. After all, they were the ones who initially said, "Don't let them interfere."

The two of them just looked at each other and saw from each other's eyes, "Why are you so unreliable?"

Then Yuan Chaochang and Sun Yuancheng put down the fish in their hands and sighed!

"Without cousin Rong and second brother Kang, we wouldn't even be able to eat grilled fish." Sun Yuancheng was the first to express his longing for the two.

Yuan Chaochang also expressed his strong agreement. This was the first time he left his brother and took on the pressure alone.

Especially when he first faced the threat of death, he felt that if his second brother was there, he would definitely not cry so miserably.

Yuan Chaokang, who was missed by Yuan Chaochang and Sun Yuancheng, was indeed accompanying Zhou Qiongyue in growing vegetables.

Yuan Chaokang was working hard to dig the hole in front, while Zhou Qiongyue was throwing seeds in the back.

Yuan Chaokang dug for a long time and couldn't help asking, "Mother, this vegetable is still in the seeds. When can we eat it?"

Zhou Qiongyue was silent for a while, as if what her youngest son said made sense, but she turned around and looked at the many seeds she had already thrown and buried.

He immediately decided, "When your elder brother and father return, we will stay at the farm for a few more days and eat the vegetables that mother and I have grown before we go back."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Chaokang worked even harder to dig the hole. His elder brother must have been scared to death this time. When his elder brother came back, he would take him out to have some fun.

As for Yuan Chaokang, he was frightened when he heard something happened in the palace, but when he heard it was smallpox, he felt relieved.

He had long suspected that the last time they were at the farm, his father and mother had given them smallpox on their own initiative.

Although he didn't know why they did that, he believed that his father and mother definitely had their reasons for doing so.

If you guess carefully, it is hard not to guess the intentions of my father and mother.

Later, when Yuan Chaokang saw that his mother was not anxious, he became more certain of his guess.

Yuan Chaokang had to sigh that this dynasty had so many talented people, and even had ways to prevent smallpox.

Yuan Bohua, who was diagnosed with smallpox by the imperial physician, lived in his own yard. During the day, he looked like a normal patient and cooperated as expected.

In order to make the scene more realistic, Yuan Bohua took out pen and paper in the dead of night and began to write suicide notes to his close ones.

It would be abnormal for a person to not feel vulnerable at all when he knows that he has an incurable disease.

Sure enough, after the emperor received the report from the secret guard, he was more convinced that Yuan Bohua also had smallpox. As for why Yuan Bohua's symptoms seemed much milder than others.

The emperor thought about it and thought that maybe Yuan Bohua had used some good medicinal herbs when he was injured a few years ago, and maybe Yuan Bohua was just holding on for the sake of face.

The emperor himself explained away all the anomalies in Yuan Bohua's smallpox.

The emperor felt bad about it, so a steady supply of good medicinal materials were sent to the royal villa.

With the help of the emperor's good medicinal materials, Yuan Bohua survived the smallpox after half a month.

During this period, Yuan Bohua used small tricks like not covering himself with a blanket in the middle of the night countless times in order to make himself more seriously ill. Otherwise, his cold would have recovered long ago.

More importantly, in order to treat his smallpox, he not only drank a steady stream of tonics every day, but also had to pretend to have no appetite every day, and he was so hungry that his stomach hurt.

Sometimes I want to bite the quilt in the middle of the night.

Otherwise, if Yuan Bohua, a person who had smallpox, recovered from the smallpox and gained weight, wouldn't that obviously arouse suspicion?
