Hehehehe~ See you in three days~ Aunt Yu was sent by Chen Qiu to pick them up, and afterwards she stayed by Yan Shujin's side to serve her.
Yan Shujin, dressed in a light red undergarment, sat cross-legged on the bed and asked, "Aunt Yu, I have a question for you."
Aunt Yu was checking the windows, and only after making sure they were all closed did she come over and say, "Princess, please speak."
Yan Shujin asked, "Do you think there's a way to make me feverish without harming my body?"
Aunt Yu was taken aback, but did not ask Yan Shujin why she had such a request. She simply asked, "What does the princess mean by 'not harming her body'?"
Yan Shujin said, "I'm not afraid of feeling uncomfortable, but I have to be able to get better. There was a person in the village who had a fever and ended up becoming mentally disabled. That's absolutely unacceptable."
“There is a way,” Aunt Yu said. “Some of the weaker ones in the palace can simply wear less clothing and let the night breeze blow on them, Princess…”
Yan Shujin thought for a moment and said, "I think it's a bit difficult."
Aunt Yu said, "The princess is in good health, but I'm afraid she'll have to suffer a bit."
Yan Shujin nodded. She wasn't afraid of suffering, as long as she could get better: "Then what will the doctor say?"
Aunt Yu asked, "What does the princess want the doctor to say?"
Yan Shujin lowered her eyes slightly and said, "I think it's probably because I have too many worries on my mind that I fell ill."
"Princess, rest assured," Aunt Yu said. "The doctors are all intelligent people."
Yan Shujin then nodded in agreement.
Aunt Yu went out and brought a basin of water. Around midnight, Yan Shujin got out of bed, and Aunt Yu helped her change into wet clothes. As soon as Yan Shujin got out of the warm quilt and the clothes were put on, she almost jumped up.
Yan Shujin could only try to stop thinking about the cold and uncomfortable clothes. She tugged at the hem of the clothes, which were clearly too big and didn't fit her at all.
Aunt Yu helped Yan Shujin tidy up and said, "These are my new clothes. I haven't worn them yet, so don't worry, Princess."
"Auntie is very thoughtful." Yan Shujin understood that Auntie had brought her new clothes to avoid leaving any traces. "Thank you, Auntie."
Yan Shujin secretly made a decision: she would give her aunt more fine materials when she had the chance in the future.
Aunt Yu didn't say anything, but instead led Yan Shujin to a window that was in a more secluded spot.
As soon as Yan Shujin opened the window, she felt a chill and couldn't help but shiver uncontrollably.
Aunt Yu said in a low voice, "The princess is in good health, so she will probably have to endure it for a while longer."
Yan Shujin suddenly realized that being too healthy wasn't necessarily a good thing: "I understand."
When her aunt helped Yan Shujin change back into her undergarments and lay her down on the bed, her voice was trembling.
Aunt Yu tucked the blanket around Yan Shujin: "Princess, please sleep for a while."
Yan Shujin nodded, but even after closing her eyes for a long time, her body still couldn't warm up, and she still felt a terrible headache.
Aunt Yu went to clean up the wet clothes first.
Before dawn, Yan Shujin developed a fever. Aunt Yu quickly sent someone to inform Prince Xuan and Princess Xuan, and also sent someone to boil water.
Prince Xuan and Princess Xuan had not yet gotten up, but the maid dared not delay them.
Yan Shujin lay in bed, feeling that her breath was hot, and her eyes were sore and uncomfortable.
When Yan Zhili and Liu Qin arrived, they saw Yan Shujin looking pitiful. Liu Qin quickly stepped forward and touched Yan Shujin's forehead: "Have you called a doctor?"
Aunt Yu said, "I've already sent someone to invite them."
"Mother," Yan Shujin said, taking Liu Qin's hand in hers. "I'm fine."
Liu Qin quickly put Yan Shujin's hand back under the blanket: "Let the doctor take a look first."
Yan Zhili asked, "When did you develop a fever?"
Aunt Yu replied respectfully, "I'm afraid the fever will start tonight."
"Then why did it take you so long to find out?" Yan Zhili was a little angry, but also full of worry. He also suspected that she might have been frightened by what he said in the study last night.
No matter how intelligent a daughter is, she is still a child after all.
Aunt Yu knelt down without offering any explanation, and the other servants in the room also knelt on the ground, not daring to raise their heads.
Liu Qin was also angry, but when she felt her daughter suddenly squeeze her hand, her eyes flickered and she said, "Why hasn't the doctor arrived yet?"
Aunt Yu said, "I'll go and urge them right away."
Yan Zhili felt a little guilty. He thought his daughter's illness was because of him, so he didn't take his anger out on the people who were taking care of her. He waved his hand.
Aunt Yu then left.
It was still dark, and the clinic wasn't open yet. The doctor had to be brought directly from my home, which caused the delay.
Aunt Yu went over and said, "I'll take the doctor inside."
The guards knew Aunt Yu, and since it wasn't convenient for them to go in at this time, they agreed.
Aunt Yu led the doctor quickly into the house and said, "I serve the princess. The princess has been unable to sleep at night for the past few days and often looks out the window. Please have the doctor take a good look at her in a moment."
The word "careful" is a bit too strong.
The doctor paused. He was no ordinary doctor, having been summoned by the guards. He was often invited to high-ranking mansions to treat patients and knew some of the rules: see less, ask less, and speak less, so as to save his life and receive rewards. "I understand."
However, the doctor was also wondering whether the princess had instructed him to say these words or if the aunt had said them herself, as there was a big difference between the two.
Aunt Yu said, "But the medicine still needs to be appropriate for the symptoms."
The doctor agreed.
They soon arrived at the door, and Aunt Yu led the doctor into the house. The doctor bowed his head in greeting.
