Chapter 142: Thousands of Miles Travel
Not only that, Baili Yunzhou, who had been in Fuzhou, also took the time to go there. He not only cooked noodles for Huatang, but also brought a lot of gifts, including rouge and powder that women like, hand warmers for winter, and rabbit fur cloaks to keep out the wind and cold. When Wang Zhubu saw the cloak, he thought that although it was not very expensive, it was a thoughtful gesture. Huatang had no choice but to accept it, but she did not wear it.
Of course, Zhao Yan knew Baili Yunzhou's methods. He naturally knew that Huatang would not accept very expensive things, so he deliberately asked someone to make this rabbit fur cloak, and then shamelessly insisted that Huatang accept it.
But none of these could make him regret. What he regretted was that he didn't even know her birthday.
They had been married for three years and separated for four years, and he had never celebrated her birthday.
At this moment, compared to Su Qinghe's seriousness and Baili Yunzhou's persistence, he felt that they were qualified, but he was not.
He opened the drawer, and inside lay a magnolia hairpin, which he had bought at that time, but he had never found a suitable opportunity to give it away.
It was not until he remembered that he had been loved by her that the melancholy and discomfort in his heart finally eased.
He had done something wrong in the past, so they missed each other forever. This time he would not make her sad again. The retreat caused by guilt just now was completely gone at once.
The third letter arrived soon. It was obvious that something had happened. Zhao Yan's face changed the moment he opened it.
Huatang has contracted the plague!
The letter said that there was a naughty child who was seriously ill, and Miss Yu took care of him all night long. But just when he was about to recover, he pulled off Miss Yu's face towel while playing, and then sneezed again.
That night, Miss Yu fell ill.
This was what Zhao Yan was most worried about. He read the letter for a long time and didn't know what to do.
He observed the cases of these patients. Some of them would recover within ten days, while some with serious conditions would take fifteen days. If it took more than fifteen days, there was basically no hope.
It has been three days since the letter was sent, so how is she doing now?
The entire Fuzhou Prefecture is now short of medicinal materials. As early as two days ago, he had already transported half of the medicinal materials here. Even if they have a prescription, they may not be able to get the medicinal materials. What's more, Huatang is not a doctor and is not within the scope of first-time diagnosis and treatment.
She already had blood deficiency, could she survive now? At this point, he felt that he should have stopped her that day and should not have let her go.
After receiving the letter, it was already evening. Zhao Yan asked someone to take his seal to the pharmacy to pack the medicine, a total of ten doses.
Then he called Yan Quan to take charge of the food in the government office, hurriedly changed his clothes, took Anfu with him, and followed the messenger to Fuzhou Prefecture overnight.
The two places were quite far apart, and there was no horse that could gallop a thousand miles, so they had to take the most ordinary carriage. When they arrived in Fuzhou Prefecture after traveling all night, it was already dawn.
At this time, the entire Fuzhou Prefecture was under martial law and no one was allowed to enter or leave at will. Fortunately, Wang Zhubu had prepared an excuse for the messenger in advance and brought some souvenirs with him, so he was able to bring them in.
Zhao Yan was the governor of the state and could not leave without permission under such circumstances, so he only wore the most ordinary clothes and quietly entered the city. When the messenger said he was coming, Wang Zhubu was shocked.
He knew that Lord Zhao valued Miss Yu very much, but he didn't expect that Lord Zhao would come in person.
Wang Zhubu followed the messenger for half a mile before he saw Zhao Yan under a big tree.
It was already deep winter, and Zhao Yan was only wearing an ordinary padded jacket, not a cloak. After being exposed to the cold wind for an hour, Wang Zhubu immediately took off his cloak and said, "Sir, please don't wear it. Your clothes are all fumigated."
Zhao Yan waved his hand to stop him and said, "How is she?"
Wang Zhubu reluctantly took it back and said carefully, "He had a fever twice last night. Doctor Su prepared a new prescription early this morning, and his fever has subsided. He just looks a little weak. Doctor Su also said that he should have passed the most critical period."
After listening to what Wang Zhubu said, Zhao Yan was glad that Su Qinghe was by her side. Obviously, with Su Qinghe by her side, she would not be in too much danger. He was even glad that Su Qinghe liked her, which was why he spared no effort to save her.
At this time he asked again, "I heard that there is a shortage of medicine here, so I brought some medicine here."
Wang Zhubu knew what Zhao Yan was worried about and immediately said, "We are short of medicine here, but Miss Yu was invited by Fuzhou Prefecture. Although she is not a doctor, she has made great contributions. Naturally, they will not treat Miss Yu as an ordinary person. Doctor Su is also here and will pay close attention to Miss Yu's condition."
Zhao Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, he could have anticipated this, but compared to waiting for her news in Quanzhou, he really couldn't do it. Even if he couldn't see her, he could only feel relieved when he heard with his own ears that someone was taking care of her.
By this time, it was already daybreak. Wang Zhubu said, "Why don't you wait here for a while, sir? I'll go in and see how Miss Yu is doing, and then come back to tell you."
Zhao Yan nodded and motioned An Fu to give him the medicine. "Take it and say someone else bought it."
But not long after, Wang Zhubu came back and said, "Miss Yu fell asleep this morning. The guards will send someone in to spray the medicine. If you'd like, you can change into the clothes of a servant. I'll take you in to take a look."
Before Zhao Yan could say anything, An Fu shook his head and said, "No, this is where the patients live. If you go there, what if you get infected?"
"It's all right. Didn't I go in to see patients in Quanzhou?" Zhao Yan said. "I'll wait for you here and arrange the specific time."
Wang Zhubu said, "It's probably 9 o'clock. Your Excellency, please rest here first. I will go and prepare first."
Zhao Yan nodded. "Don't worry about us. Come back after you've made your arrangements."
"Okay, then you can take a rest first." After saying that, he hurried away.
Although there was some sunshine at this time, the winter sun was not very warm, and the two had not eaten breakfast. Anfu took out some dry food from his bag, but it was as hard as ice, and the water in the water bag was also frozen.
In such cold weather, the young master had to wait in the freezing wind without eating or drinking. He sighed silently. It's not that he didn't say it, but at a time like this, Miss Yu must be the first priority.
No one would think about eating anymore, so he kept silent. He took out some cloth from the car and draped it over the young master.
Half an hour later, Wang Zhubu came over, clothes in his hands. "Sir, I have already made arrangements. Just say you are here to burn medicine in the room. But to avoid too many people, I can only take one person in."
Zhao Yan told Anfu, "Wait here for me." Just as he was about to leave, he said, "Let's change our clothes."
