What the young medicine boy actually wanted to say was that a message should be sent to the capital at this time, as Princess Ruoling was most likely beyond saving, since no one with a serious illness had ever been saved so far.
"Alas..." Physician Jiang sighed deeply, "More than a hundred people have died again. I am very worried. If this continues, I am afraid that all of the thousands of critically ill patients will die in the next few days. I came here to ask if Mr. Lu has developed any more effective drugs for the critically ill."
The hope is slim.
The young apprentice shook his head: "Mr. Lu has been watching over the princess every day these past few days."
There's no energy left to develop new drug formulas.
The door was flung open from the inside with a bang, and Lu Yuyan rushed out. He glanced at the two of them, then headed straight for the room where he was developing his medicine formula.
When Physician Jiang saw Lu Yuyan, he was startled. Was this the same handsome, distinguished, and dashing Mr. Lu he knew?
At this moment, he was unshaven, unkempt, with bloodshot eyes, sunken eye sockets, and dirty clothes, clearly having not washed or groomed himself for several days.
Imperial Physician Jiang pointed at Lu Yuyan's retreating figure and said, "What, what's wrong? Even if the princess is of noble birth, there's no need for her to make herself look like this."
The young apprentice looked at Physician Jiang and said meaningfully, "Physician Jiang, you were young once too, weren't you? Just now," the young apprentice pointed to his mouth, "the princess couldn't be fed medicine, so you fed her with this."
"Ah, ah!" Imperial Physician Jiang's eyes widened. Goodness, he had discovered something. That brat Lu Yuyan had actually taken a liking to Princess Ruoling!
But with his background, a mere physician in a royal palace, how dare he covet the princess?
He's got a death wish.
Physician Jiang pulled the young apprentice aside: "Remember, this matter is between you, me, and Mr. Lu. You must not tell a fourth person."
The young apprentice nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.
Inside the room, Ruoling was still unconscious. Based on her condition, she could only hold on for three more days at most.
After washing his face with cold water, Lu Yuyan plunged headfirst into the pile of medicine.
For the past three days, the young medicine boy has been watching over Ruoling, but he immediately reports any news to Lu Yuyan.
A moment later, someone came to report: "Sir, the princess has developed a high fever again."
A moment later, another report came: "Sir, the princess vomited up all the medicine she drank."
Then another report came: "Sir, the princess is having uncontrollable convulsions."
On the afternoon of the third day, someone reported: "Sir, the princess has vomited blood!"
He vomited blood!
Once someone vomits blood, it means they are only one step away from death.
Lu Yuyan rushed out of the pharmacy, looking even more disheveled than a few days ago, clearly having spent the last three days working tirelessly on developing the medicine.
Lu Yuyan held a porcelain bottle in his hand, which contained the medicine he had just developed. If this medicine still couldn't save Ruoling, then there really was no other way.
A large amount of blood had already been vomited in front of the bed. Although Ruolingren had woken up, Physician Jiang and the young apprentice knew that this was a final burst of energy before death.
Without a specific cure, the princess could only last for half a day at most.
Physician Jiang had even prepared a memorial to apologize.
He even secretly ordered someone to make a fine mahogany coffin from a coffin shop, which was then soaked in medicine.
During the great plague in Mu City, most of the dead were burned, but Princess Ruoling's body was different; it had to be transported back to Shengjing.
Isolating the corpse with medication will prevent it from becoming infectious.
Lu Yuyan was about to rush into Ruoling's room when the young apprentice grabbed him, saying, "Sir, you can't go in!"
“Yes, the princess has vomited blood. The infectivity at this time is several times higher than it was two days ago. You can’t go in.” Imperial Physician Jiang also tried to stop her.
Lu Yuyan's eyes were bloodshot, and his cold gaze swept over Physician Jiang before he flung the young apprentice's hand away: "Get out of my way!"
He rushed inside and slammed the door shut behind him.
The two doctors, Physician Jiang and his young apprentice, were left stamping their feet in frustration.
"Ah, Ah Yan, no, don't come in..." Blood and tears rolled down Ruoling's face. Unable to open her eyes, she fell into a state of semi-consciousness. In those two days, she realized Ah Yan's feelings for her.
She was very happy, but it was too late.
Lu Yuyan stepped forward and gently picked her up, pulling her close to his chest: "Don't talk, just take your medicine."
His face was pale, his lips were bloodless, and tears rolled down his face uncontrollably, dripping onto Ruoling's face like hot oil, burning her heart with pain.
Ruoling shook her head: "I, I can't take it anymore. You, you don't need to worry about me, just get out..."
"I said, take your medicine! Ruoling, if you don't get better, even in the underworld I won't let you go!"
Lu Yuyan spoke fiercely, but his hands moved gently as he fed her the medicine from the porcelain bottle little by little.
But Ruoling could clearly feel the slight tremor in his body.
My stomach felt like it was churning.
Lu Yuyan choked up, "Ruoling, you have to try, you have to try really hard, don't spit out the medicine. Ruoling..."
Ruoling couldn't answer him; she didn't even have the strength to nod. She could only clench her teeth tightly.
Before losing consciousness, Ruoling heard what Ayan said to her.
He said, "Ruoling, as long as you wake up and are alright, I'm yours."
Zhu Chen has fully recovered, and he was overjoyed to hear that Ruoling was on the verge of death!
"Lu Yuyan, I ordered you to place me under house arrest and suppress my memorials! Haha, I'll make you taste what it's like to lose your lover!"
Before he could finish speaking, he was punched in the nose, causing blood to gush out.
Upon seeing that it was Lu Yuyan, Zhu Chen gritted his teeth and said, "Lu Yuyan, who do you think you are? How dare you lay a hand on me? Don't you want to live anymore!"
Lu Yuyan didn't care what kind of dilapidated palace it was. Like a madman, he straddled Zhu Chen and beat him mercilessly with punch after punch.
Shortly after Ruoling fell into a coma, the young medicine boy told him that they had found out that Princess Ruoling had contracted the plague by using the tea set that the Third Prince had used.
Zhu Chen had the old servant who took care of him put that tea set into Ruoling's room.
The old servant, under duress, dared not disobey.
"Hey, stop hitting me, Lu Yuyan, do you have a death wish?!"
"Is Ruoling dead?"
"Help! Help!"
"Help!"
Zhu Chen roared in a sorry state, but since Lu Yuyan wanted to beat up this beast, how could he not move the people around him away?
Now that Mu City is ravaged by plague, the emperor has already given orders that everything must be done in accordance with the orders of the imperial physicians and Lu Yuyan, and even the Third Prince is no exception.
Zhu Chen was beaten so badly he vomited blood. At first, he gave him a fierce warning, but then even the people around him were sent away, and he could only beg for mercy like a dog.
But he kept this grudge in his heart, and when he returned to Shengjing, he was determined to tear this person to pieces.
Seeing that Lu Yuyan seemed to have lost his mind, Physician Jiang realized that if he accidentally killed the Third Prince, it would be a huge problem, so he quickly pulled him away.
Zhu Chen was beaten so badly that he wouldn't be able to get out of bed for at least ten days to two weeks.
