Chapter 143 Just to See Her
Although he was also wearing cloth, he was tall and slender, so he was still afraid that someone would suspect him.
The clothes on Anfu were just the right size, but a little too short for him.
This made him look especially like a poor farmer with no clothes at home. He messed up his hair and smeared some things on his face, and at first glance he still looked very similar.
Wang Zhubu took Zhao Yan to meet the person in charge first, and then received medicine and protective items here.
The people who came to check also knew that there were people infected with the disease inside. These people went in to help and were unwilling to have too much contact with Wang Zhubu and others. They just checked the medicinal materials and things, and made sure there was no poison before letting them in.
Zhao Yan followed the person in front of him. The person in front of him first sprinkled medicine on the first floor, and he followed suit. After a while, he remembered what Wang Zhubu said, that Huatang was in the third room on the left on the second floor.
He went upstairs again and carefully spread the medicine all over the area.
At this time, a maid came out of the house and said, "Miss Yu has woken up. Bring the medicine quickly."
When the people downstairs heard this, they came over with the medicine and Zhao Yan followed them in.
After entering the room, he continued to sprinkle the medicine carefully. When the old woman saw him doing it, she opened the door to let in some fresh air.
After a while, Su Qinghe came in from outside. "How is it? Can you still take the medicine?"
He walked to the bedside, handed the medicine to Yu Huatang, and touched her forehead with his hand, "The fever should be gone."
Yu Huatang didn't say anything, but just pointed at the medicine, motioning them to go out and she would drink it herself.
Su Qinghe shook his head and refused. "It's nothing serious. You're not seriously ill. I'll help you up."
Yu Huatang still didn't say anything. After sitting up, she took the medicine and drank it in one gulp. Zhao Yan was standing by the door at this time and just happened to see her frown. Her small face, which was originally the size of a palm, now looked even paler and more fragile.
After she finished drinking the medicine, she didn't say anything. She used her finger to signal them to leave quickly, and she lay on the pillow to rest.
Su Qinghe said, "Let me check his pulse first." After a while, he added, "It's stronger than before. It looks like it will be better in a few days."
Yu Huatang also smiled slightly. At this time, Su Qinghe handed over something and said, "Try it quickly. I asked someone to buy some sweet osmanthus candy for you."
She took it and put it in her mouth with a smile on her face, then waved her hand to signal him to go out.
Su Qinghe said softly, "Don't worry, I'll be fine. You can rest first. I'll come to see you in the evening."
Then he lowered the curtains, and Yu Huatang said "OK" softly.
Afterwards, the old woman followed Su Qinghe out. Zhao Yan sprinkled medicine while approaching the bed. When he gently opened the curtains, she was already asleep inside.
He saw that her breathing was even and her complexion, though pale, was not decadent or dark, so he knew that she should be getting better soon.
He leaned over and hugged her gently. Through the veil on her face, he lowered his head and kissed her, then stood up and left.
Now that he was sure she was fine, he could rest assured.
With Su Qinghe here, he will naturally be more useful than him.
When he got downstairs, Zhao Yan took another look at where she lived before leaving.
Although he knew that staying here would be of no help, he still leaned against a big tree with a few clothes on and waited until evening.
Wang Zhubu came over and said that Su Qinghe had gone to see her again and that she was now able to eat a little. After learning that she had shown signs of improvement, he rushed back with Anfu overnight.
This trip was clearly to learn good news about her, but he couldn't be happy at all.
The two of them have been together hand in hand, and now they are taking care of each other before illness. When people are weak, they are most easily moved by true feelings, so will she be moved?
What if she decided to marry Su Qinghe? What if Su Qinghe was really good to her and was willing to do anything for her?
If he still pestered her and refused to let her go, wouldn't that be too much? Would it hinder the good marriage she had finally found?
These thoughts kept him awake and unable to eat or sleep.
Until the morning of the third day, something unexpected happened.
Zhao Yan developed a high fever.
At this time, a letter from Wang Zhubu also arrived, saying that Miss Yu had recovered and was currently taking the last dose of medicine.
The messenger brought back the news that Zhao Yan had a high fever. Wang Zhubu immediately said goodbye to the officials of Fuzhou Prefecture. When the officials of Fuzhou Prefecture learned that Zhao Yan had fallen ill, they immediately let him go.
Yu Huatang had just recovered from her illness and was helping to transport medicinal materials with Su Qinghe. When she met Wang Zhubu, she learned that he had to go back because Zhao Yan fell ill.
Yu Huatang was very surprised when he heard what Wang Zhubu said. "Did Lord Zhao catch an epidemic, or just a common cold? Any news?"
Su Qinghe said, "But the epidemic in Quanzhou has passed, so it shouldn't happen again."
"I don't know about that either. I was originally conveying the illness in Fuzhou to you. The messenger happened to learn that Lord Zhao was ill and brought the news back." said Wang Zhubu.
Su Qinghe said, "Sir, don't worry. The epidemic over there has passed. It's definitely not an epidemic. It's probably a cold."
After Su Qinghe finished speaking, Wang Zhubu did not say anything, but just looked at Yu Huatang. Before leaving, Lord Zhao had instructed that the news of his coming here should not be leaked.
Even if he had a thousand words to say to Miss Yu at this moment, he didn't know how to start.
Lord Zhao was so affectionate that Wang Zhubu felt a little sorry for him. But Miss Yu didn't know about his hidden and forbearing behavior. Wasn't he just making things easier for others?
So he thought for a while, looked at Yu Huatang and said, "Perhaps Master Zhao went somewhere else for someone else. Miss Yu knows my master is a man of action, never talk, and will see things through even with blood at his mouth. Miss Yu knows his mind best."
After saying this, Yu Huatang was a little confused. What did she mean by she knew his thoughts best, and what did she mean by she had gone somewhere else?
She didn't say anything, but Su Qinghe on the side thought about it for a while and stared at Wang Zhubu closely.
He understood that Wang Zhubu was a man who would neither be greedy nor over-the-top, and who would speak his mind.
So what did he mean by this? Was he trying to hint something to Yu Huatang, or was there something that he couldn't say directly and had to say it this way?
At this point, Wang Zhubu didn't want to reveal his identity, so he stood up, mounted his horse and said goodbye, "Take care of yourselves, I'll go back first." After saying that, he looked at Yu Huatang again.
At this time, Yu Huatang stopped him and said, "Wang Zhubu, wait a moment. You bought ten sets of medicine before, but I only used six. You can take the rest back with you. It would be good in case you still need it."
Medicinal herbs are now worth a fortune. When she first learned that Wang Zhubu had bought so many medicinal herbs for her, she was shocked. How much would it cost? She didn't seem to be very familiar with Wang Zhubu. Why did he do this? Was it because she had contributed to the epidemic and donated money?
