Although he thought so, Shangguan Qingyue still reluctantly took the bowl of water and gulped it down for the sake of quieting his ears.
[I promised you guys, please stop arguing with me!]
Seeing this, Imperial Physician Li and Wu Yonggui finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Even the maids in Zhongcui Palace looked at Shangguan Qingyue with gratitude. A senior maid bowed and said, "This servant thanks the young lady on behalf of Princess Huai'an. When Princess Huai'an wakes up, this servant will tell her everything the young lady did!"
Shangguan Qingyue shuddered and quickly waved his hands at her, "No, no, no!"
[Don't tell her... I'm afraid she'll go crazy...]
The senior palace maid shook her head with emotion, thinking that God was really unfair. The young lady, such a kind and filial child, was actually mute...
Half a cup of tea later, Shangguan Qingyue, with the help of the palace maids, once again prepared a separate "medicine".
The little guy held up his pants and pouted, "Hold it all for me, stop peeing! How much can a little kid like me pee?!"
Although the palace maids could not hear, they still walked to Zhao Yao's bed holding the "medicine lead" carefully.
Shangguan Qingyue also went over to watch the fun.
Her chubby cheeks couldn't help but wrinkle as she couldn't bear to look at it.
[Tsk tsk tsk… tsk tsk tsk…]
The senior palace maid just propped up Zhao Yao's head, and Imperial Physician Li handed over the medicine bowl and the medicine guide, and fed Zhao Yao one spoonful at a time.
Seeing that the bowls were empty, everyone looked relieved.
Shangguan Qingyue: [……]
Adults are so complicated...
[Do they have a grudge against Aunt Huai'an, so they forced her to drink my... Ugh...]
Wu Yonggui breathed a sigh of relief and was not in a hurry to leave. It had come to this point anyway, and if African swine fever had spread, it would have spread long ago.
Wu Yonggui said to Li Yuyi, "Li Yuyi, could you please take Princess Huai'an's pulse again to see if her condition has improved?"
Imperial Physician Li wanted to say, how could it be so fast after just drinking the medicine? But as a mature medical officer, how could he be so honest?
If the patient is three points sick, they say it's five points... If the patient is one point better, they say it's three points better. Anyway, they do whatever they can to show off their medical skills. If the patient is terminally ill and there is still a glimmer of hope, they simply don't save him and have someone prepare a coffin, so as not to affect their reputation by making boasts and then failing to save him...
Imperial Physician Li smiled and said, "Okay, okay!"
The palace maids withdrew to make way for Imperial Physician Li.
Imperial Physician Li slowly and methodically laid out the pulse pillow, rolled up his sleeves, and stroked his beard. While everyone around him was eagerly waiting, he turned back and said something nonsense to Wu Yonggui, "Princess Huaian must be fine..."
But Wu Yonggui was very anxious...
Wu Yonggui couldn't help but whispered, "Hurry up and take my pulse!"
“Okay, okay!”
Imperial Physician Li turned around, stretched out two fingers, placed them on Zhao Yao's wrist, and then... his smile froze.
He blinked and couldn't help but nod again, eh?
What's wrong?
Seeing this, Wu Yonggui couldn't help but ask, "Doctor Li, what's wrong?"
Imperial Physician Li's heart was beating like a drum, and his hands were shaking as he took the patient's pulse.
The rosy face lost its color in an instant, and his eyes were filled with panic.
He suddenly remembered that he had just seen the rash on Zhao Yao's body and had made a diagnosis without even checking her pulse...
How can this be swine fever?
The pulse seems normal, the aura is strong, this, this, this... is better than his physique!
He remained unconscious for a long time, perhaps the poison had invaded his head and he was temporarily unconscious...
So why is there this rash on my body?
Imperial Physician Li stretched out his hand, wiped the red spot on Zhao Yao's neck, and his hand was stained with red.
He put it close to his nose and sniffed it, and then his eyes almost popped out.
"Who put the rouge on Princess Huai'an?!"
Shangguan Qingyue was startled when he heard this, and quickly hid behind Wu Yonggui, revealing only a pair of guilty eyes.
[It’s over, it’s over, I’ve been discovered…]
Wu Yonggui thought she was frightened by Li Yuyi's loud shout. He stroked Shangguan Qingyue's head with his hand, then frowned and scolded Li Yuyi, "What did you yell at? Look at how scared you made the young lady."
Imperial Physician Li finally came to his senses and turned back to Shangguan Qingyue, kneeling down and saying, "Young lady, please forgive me. I deserve death!"
"I was careless for a moment...Princess Huai'an is not infected with swine fever!"
Wu Yonggui screamed, "What?"
Imperial Physician Li lowered his head even lower. He explained, "When I saw the rash on Princess Huai'an's body, I thought it was swine fever. Who knew that the rash was actually artificially applied rouge!" He held out his hand for Shangguan Qingyue to see, "Young lady, take a look!"
Shangguan Qingyue: [……]
What are you looking at? I didn't know it was Rouge?
【I worked hard all night long! 】
[You old white-bearded old man, how come your eyesight is so good? I actually let you see it, look at how capable you are!]
Shangguan Qingyue came out from behind Wu Yonggui, put her hands on her waist, and glared at Imperial Physician Li angrily.
Imperial Physician Li was puzzled.
Next to him, Wu Yonggui tried to guess Shangguan Qingyue's thoughts. He guessed that Shangguan Qingyue was blaming Imperial Physician Li for misdiagnosing the disease and letting Princess Huaian drink... cough cough.
How can I not be angry when the little lady is such a kind and filial child?
Wu Yonggui shouted on behalf of Shangguan Qingyue: "Doctor Li, you quack! You actually..."
Wu Yonggui scolded Li the imperial physician a lot, but Shangguan Qingyue didn't stop him when he saw that the old eunuch had changed the subject.
Until... someone came from Emperor Jianxi to ask Shangguan Qingyue to go back.
There's news from Wei Yuan.
Shangguan Qingyue's eyes lit up. This was a good reason for him to leave this troubled place, so he ran away in a flash.
"Miss, wait for me..." Wu Yonggui chased after her.
As soon as the two left, Zhao Yao woke up.
The head maid told Zhao Yao about the past two days, about tending to the sick and drinking urine... Zhao Yao was so angry that she immediately vomited blood and immediately sent someone to the Yangxin Palace to complain to Emperor Jianxi, but the Yangxin Palace was already empty...
Zhao Yao looked at the red spots on her body, the system's teeth chattering in her ears. [Host... I saw her poke you with multiple needles with my own eyes. Then when you started bleeding, she used rouge to plug the bleeding...]
Zhao Yao suppressed her anger and asked Imperial Physician Li, "Can this rash on my body be cured?"
Imperial Physician Li shook his dentures and said with a stiff face, "Your Highness, this rash is not caused by the body, but by human factors... It may not go away..."
Zhao Yao's body stiffened, and then a low cry like a dying bird or beast choked out from her throat. There was a "bang", Zhao Yao rolled her eyes, and fell straight down.
"Princess!!"
【Host! 】
Imperial Physician Li hurried to check Zhao Yao's breathing. Seeing that he was still breathing, he breathed a sigh of relief. He then took Zhao Yao's hand to feel his pulse, and then a look of sadness appeared on his face.
The head maid asked, "How is Princess Huai'an?"
Imperial Physician Li shook his head and sighed, "If this poison takes away even a fraction of Princess Huai'an's lifeblood, then this time...it's taken away half of Princess Huai'an's life!!"
