Qingzhou Posthouse.
Old Man Ma was sleeping on the bed in the east wing of the inn. His face was dark and yellow, and his expression was extremely distorted and painful. He kept coughing.
And every time he had a quick and violent cough, there would always be some blood on the cotton handkerchief covering his mouth.
Father Ma looked up at Shen Yuyao beside the bed, his eyes filled with gratitude but also with some guilt, "Ahem... Madam, you, you shouldn't have come in, ahem..."
"Old man, I really have caused trouble for the Empress, cough cough... cough cough cough!"
Shen Yuyao smiled slightly, shook her head, and signaled the old man not to speak.
"Old man, please try to speak less. The doctor at the post station is already preparing the decoction to relieve your symptoms."
"Also," Shen Yuyao hesitated for a moment, then added, "Now in Qingzhou City, I think quite a few people have been infected. In the next few days, there will be some serious cases."
“This epidemic is something I have never encountered before.”
"It's extremely dangerous. To prevent the entire city from being infected, I need to prepare an effective medicine as soon as possible."
Shen Yuyao was a little hesitant.
"I...I need your help to test the medicine. Would you be willing?"
Anyone testing the medicine will die on the spot if there is even the slightest deviation.
Shen Yuyao must get the consent of Old Man Ma before she can use the medicine.
"Cough cough...cough cough cough!" Old Man Ma coughed violently and nodded desperately.
"Old man, testing the medicine will be very tiring," Shen Yuyao paused, "I am not aware of the situation outside the inn, and there is no other more suitable person at the moment."
Old Man Ma understood that he was the first person Shen Yuyao had seen who was infected and fell ill, so he should be the most suitable person.
Old Man Ma turned around and looked at Ma Sanbao who was standing beside him in a daze, his eyes full of attachment and reluctance.
Shen Yuyao saw this, and her eyes turned red. "Old man, I will try my best to save you, if..."
Old Man Ma also knew that his illness was too serious, and he was grateful to the princess for saving him, but he was really worried about Ma Sanbao.
Shen Yuyao also understood what Old Man Ma was thinking.
She looked directly at Old Man Ma and said, "Old man, if I really can't save him, don't worry, I will bring Ma Sanbao back to Prince Ning's Mansion in Yanjing!"
"I, Shen Yuyao, will raise Ma Sanbao to adulthood!"
Shen Yuyao and Old Man Ma had only known each other for two days. In Old Man Ma's impression, princesses were always cold and aloof.
But the Shen Yuyao in front of him looked more like a doctor.
A doctor has a kind heart.
She doesn't look much like a princess.
Or rather, she is not like the princess in the minds of ordinary people.
Most of Shen Yuyao's face was covered by a brocade scarf, with only her eyes exposed. However, this made Old Man Ma, like Ma Sanbao, inexplicably feel a sense of trust in her.
Although Ma Sanbao was only six or seven years old, he understood the conversation between his grandfather and the princess.
Grandpa is terminally ill.
The princess wants to save grandpa.
However, Grandpa might die on the spot because of the medicine given by the princess!
Because of the princess, she was not sure either.
Ma Sanbao's handsome and cold eyes were already filled with tears, and he was trying hard to hold them back.
He was afraid that his grandfather would worry.
Shen Yuyao looked at Shen Yuyao with a firm look in her eyes, "Princess, Grandpa and I both believe in you."
Ma Sanbao paused slightly, then knelt down to salute Shen Yuyao.
"My Lady, please let my grandfather heal me."
"Even if...even if I can't save my grandfather, I will still be grateful to you, my lady."
"Sanbao, good boy, get up quickly!"
Shen Yuyao helped Ma Sanbao up.
Her eyes were red at this time, and she felt a little sad.
"Cough... cough cough cough!" Old Man Ma started coughing violently again.
Shen Yuyao calmed herself down and sat down, then lifted Old Man Ma's right wrist again and began to take his pulse.
Shen Yuyao examined the patient very seriously without even lifting her eyelids.
Old Man Ma's pulse became heavier.
Shen Yuyao's heart also became heavier.
"Sanbao, your grandfather's condition seems to be more serious than before."
Shen Yuyao then changed to checking the pulse of Old Man Ma's left hand.
"Now I can only switch to a stronger medicine, but your grandfather is already weak, I'm worried..."
Shen Yuyao felt that this was the most hesitant she had ever been as a doctor.
She even found it difficult to decide whether to really change the medicine for Old Man Ma.
She was afraid that the old man would die on the spot after taking the medicine.
"My Lady, cough cough... cough cough cough..."
Father Ma was a little anxious. "I can bear it. Don't hesitate. Cough cough... Change the medicine. Cough cough cough..."
Old Man Ma was a little anxious. He was worried that Ma Sanbao would also be infected. If he could find the right medicine for his grandson, he would be able to die with peace of mind.
"Okay!" Shen Yuyao finally made up her mind, "Sanbao, come with me."
Shen Yuyao got up and went to the outer room, wrote a new prescription and gave it to Ma Sanbao.
"Sanbao, give this prescription to the guard outside the door. I..."
Shen Yuyao suddenly felt chest tightness and dizziness, and was a little unsteady on her feet, so she could only let Ma Sanbao take the prescription out.
Ma Sanbao answered yes, took the prescription and walked out of the room.
strangeness!
There was not a single servant outside the door.
Ma Sanbao had no choice but to walk towards the front hall, and he didn't see any servants along the way.
When I walked through the corridor and was about to reach the front hall, I happened to meet Zhang Yu who was returning.
Zhang Yu was holding two bowls of medicine in his hands.
"Brother, the princess asked me to use this prescription to make medicine."
