Qi Yuning, who runs a pharmacy, naturally knows about malaria. Malaria is also known in the folks as being possessed by a malaria ghost. It is very difficult to cure and nine out of ten people will die. There are only one or two who survive by chance, but if they are not tormented by the disease all day long, they will not live long.
Malaria is extremely painful for the patients. Qi Yuning heard from his grandfather that when his grandfather was young, he went to Lingnan area, where malaria was rampant. At that time, an army of 2,000 people was infected with malaria, but only 200 people survived.
However, the local people in Lingnan do not talk about malaria, but call it miasma.
No one has been able to cure the poison of miasma from ancient times to the present, and those who are infected will be close to death.
Qi Yuning clenched Lu Ze's hand in fear, biting her lip and saying, "I don't want to die. Lingling is still so young, how can I die?"
Lu Ze also held Qi Yuning's sweaty hand tightly and said, "I won't let you die. I have asked my men to invite famous doctors from all over the country. Don't worry, you will definitely survive."
As soon as Lu Ze finished speaking, the eight imperial doctors in the Imperial Hospital rushed over and took Qi Yuning's pulse one by one.
"It is indeed malaria."
"That's going to be troublesome."
Chen Yuyi said, "I'll prescribe Jisheng prescription for the princess. It should be used to clear the spleen and drink Qing Pu Chai, Ling Xia Gan Qin Bai Zhu Kai, and add Amomum villosum and ginger to decoct and drink. This prescription is suitable for heat-prone yang malaria. However, the princess has not seen any improvement after two days of using it."
"Princess Xu has been drinking this recipe for a long time, but it's useless. It's better to drink it with ginseng, tangerine peel, angelica root and ginger. If you have a weak body and have malaria for a long time, you can take it to strengthen your body and eliminate evil."
"Princess Xu has also used He Renyin for a long time, but she is incurable."
Qi Yuning looked at the eight imperial doctors arguing loudly. She felt her head hurt more and more and became more irritated. Malaria... She had never thought that she would get this terminal illness.
Lu Ze was also annoyed by what he heard. "You guys quickly decide on a prescription and go outside. Don't disturb the princess."
Several imperial doctors felt that they had a headache so they left the house, but they were still clamoring in the courtyard. It took a long time before they decided to use Who Drink First to stabilize Princess Qi's condition.
Qi Yuning didn't know how long she had been in a daze with the fever. She couldn't eat anything. She felt dizzy from the fever and was sweating all over, which made her feel extremely uncomfortable. This kind of sweat was not the comfortable sweat after a hearty horse racing or archery, but it felt like she was wasting her essence and blood.
Seeing Qi Yuning's uncomfortable look, Lu Ze wished he could take Qi Yuning's place, but now he could only wipe Qi Yuning's sweat and change the cold handkerchief on his forehead. When the cold handkerchief touched Qi Yuning's forehead, it became warm in just an instant.
Qi Yuning fainted and when she woke up it was already daytime.
Qi Yuning felt her mouth was very dry and she coughed several times. She drank a lot of water and then drank the bitter medicine. Qi Yuning looked outside anxiously. She was really unwilling to leave Lingling when she was so young.
Malaria, how could she get malaria when she was perfectly fine?
According to folklore, malaria ghosts are most afraid of generals who died in battle. Her Qi family is full of heroes and fierce generals who died in battle. How could this malaria ghost possess her?
Princess Pingrou entered the room and said, "Yuning, you finally woke up. How did you get malaria when you were fine? I have asked the senior monks in Xianglin Temple to come and exorcise the malaria for you."
Qi Yuning called out weakly, "Mom."
Princess Pingrou stepped forward and looked at Qi Yuning who looked exhausted. She said, "Have a good rest. You have been blessed since childhood. You will definitely get through this difficult time safely."
Qi Yuning looked at Princess Pingrou and said, "Mother, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you for Lingling's first birthday party. I'm afraid I can't handle Lingling's first birthday party in my current state."
Princess Pingrou said, "Yuning, don't worry. I will organize the birthday banquet well. You should rest well, take medicine well, and relax. You will definitely be cured."
Qi Yuning said softly: "Yeah."
Princess Pingrou took care of Qi Yuning and did not leave until Lu Ze came back.
Seeing that Qi Yuning looked fine, Lu Ze said to her, "Can I carry you outside to get some fresh air?"
Qi Yuning felt better at the moment, so she got on Lu Ze's back and went to the yard. The osmanthus flowers had not yet withered, and the fragrance of osmanthus was strong.
Qi Yuning sat down under the osmanthus tree in the garden, leaned on Lu Ze's shoulder and said, "Lu Ze, if I can't make it this time, you must take good care of Lingling. I know the pain of being without a mother. After I die, you must love Lingling twice as much for me."
Lu Ze squeezed Qi Yuning's hand and said, "Stop talking nonsense. You won't die. Have you forgotten that Lingling came from the Xinwei year? At that time, we could still take Lingling to the Lantern Festival, so we will definitely get through this difficult time safely."
Qi Yuning smiled calmly and said, "That's right."
Lu Ze looked at Qi Yuning and said, "Pain is already a torture, why not make yourself happy? I will order my men to go to Lingnan to invite a local doctor who has research on miasma. You will definitely be able to get through this difficult time safely."
Lu Ze held Qi Yuning in his arms, rested his chin on Qi Yuning's shoulder and said, "You will live in peace and happiness with me until old age."
Qi Yuning said: "Yeah."
Qi Yuning was fine tonight, but after waking up, she felt extremely cold again. The chills lasted longer and longer, and were more torturous.
There is no visible improvement from taking bitter medicine every day.
After the shivering, the whole body will feel hot and torturous. The pain of alternating cold and heat is very torturous.
After having a fever for an unknown period of time, Qi Yuning vomited everything in her stomach, closed her eyes, and fainted in Lu Ze's arms.
Lu Zelian hugged Qi Yuning and said, "Yuning, Yuning, wake up, call the imperial physician quickly."
The four imperial doctors on duty in the princess's mansion heard the noise and rushed over.
The leading doctor, Chen Yu, was checking Qi Yuning's pulse and inserted a silver needle into Qi Yuning's arm. Qi Yuning did not wake up and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Imperial Physician Wu stepped forward to feel the pulse and said, "The princess has a high fever and has fainted. She must wake up as soon as possible, otherwise she will never wake up, or at least become blind and insane."
Imperial Physician Wu also used silver needles, but Qi Yuning did not wake up even after her head was filled with silver needles.
Lu Ze looked at the imperial doctors in front of him and said, "We must make sure the princess wakes up safely!"
The four imperial doctors responded in unison.
Chen Yuyi said: "We need to reduce the princess's fever first. It will not be a good idea if the fever continues."
Lu Ze used an ice towel to apply to Qi Yuning's forehead and used mugwort to fumigate Qi Yuning's acupuncture points. It was not until late at night that Qi Yuning's fever subsided. Lu Ze called Qi Yuning, "Yuning, Yuning!"
Lu Ze's hands were shaking when he saw Qi Yuning wake up after her fever subsided.
"Your Highness, Lingling hasn't slept yet and keeps crying for her mother."
Lu Ze took the crying Lingling from Ah Li's hands. Seeing that there was a white light on her chest, he placed Lingling next to Qi Yuning and whispered to her, "Mom is sick. Lingling, can you go wake her up?"
Lingling crawled to Qi Yuning, hugged Qi Yuning and shouted: "Mother, mother, mother."
Lu Ze ordered everyone in the room, "You all go down first."
“Yes.”
After the maids left, Lu Ze lay down next to Qi Yuning and fell asleep. It was already midnight and he was very tired, so he took Lingling in his arms and coaxed her to sleep.
Lu Ze vaguely saw a thick fog. In the fog, he saw Qi Yuning, "Yuning!"
Qi Yuning saw Lu Ze and said, "Shh, look ahead."
Lu Ze looked in the direction Qi Yuning pointed, and saw the scene when Lu Yun became a monk three years ago, on the cliff in front of Xianglin Temple, where Qi Yuning was standing in the wind in her wedding dress.
