"He's in such a bad condition, why doesn't he send someone to the Duke's Mansion to find me?" Tian An scolded.
Hearing this, Pingxing knelt on the ground and said weakly, "The young master said that it's a rare occasion for you to visit Old Madam An, so he didn't want me to disturb you. It's just diarrhea, just bear with it and it will pass."
"Why should you endure it? He has acute gastroenteritis and is now dehydrated. If you delay any longer, he will die. Instead of coming to me, why don't you ask a doctor outside? Even if you go to the pharmacy to get some medicine, it shouldn't be delayed to this extent." Tian An was almost mad to death.
Hearing Xiaokang's life was in danger, Pingxing became anxious and quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Tian An. "Miss, please save the young master! He didn't let me go to the doctor because he was afraid that the princess would be upset. He also didn't let me buy the medicine because he was afraid that the secret would be exposed. He said that everything would be fine when you come back tonight."
Tian An was so angry that he almost laughed at the suicidal behavior of the master and servant.
He took out a syringe from his bag, gave Xiaokang an injection, and rubbed his temples tiredly after giving him the infusion.
What on earth did Yaoyao feed this silly boy? Even if ordinary food is not tasty, it won’t cause diarrhea and cause acute gastroenteritis!
If she didn't know Yaoyao's character, she would have thought that Yaoyao had poisoned the food directly.
After thinking for a while, Tian An looked at Pingshun and said, "Go and call Yaoyao over."
"Don't." Before Pingshun could get up, Xiaokang, who was lying on the bed, reached out weakly to grab Tian An, "Sister, don't call Yaoyao over, don't embarrass her."
Tian An sighed and said helplessly, "I just came to ask her what she added to the food."
After hearing this, Xiaokang held Tian An's hand without wavering, and even looked at Tian An with a pleading face, "Sister, won't she know if you ask her?"
"Well, it seems like you two are willing to fight and I'm the one who's meddling in other people's business." Tian An said unhappily.
Xiaokang felt a little embarrassed by what Tian An said, so he changed the subject and said, "Sister, please make me something to eat! I'm really hungry."
Looking at his pitiful appearance, Tian An was speechless. After asking Pingshun to watch the needle, he got up and went to the kitchen.
When I got to the kitchen, I saw Yaoyao busy in front of a small stove, covered in dust.
Looking at her little cat-like appearance, Tian An couldn't help but twitch his lips. It seemed that if she didn't come back tonight, Xiaokang would be sent away directly by Yaoyao!
"What are you doing?"
Tian An suddenly spoke from behind, startling Yaoyao. She turned around and saw that it was Tian An, then she patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sister An An, why are you walking so quietly? You scared me to death."
As he spoke, he pointed proudly at the small clay pot in front of him and said, "I saw you making medicinal food yesterday, so I tried to make it twice. Brother Xiaokang said it was delicious. I developed a new recipe this afternoon. I'll send it to Brother Xiaokang when it's ready. He's sure to like it."
Tian An really couldn't help but want to tell her that if you send her away again, your brother Xiaokang will be sent away by you.
It is really hard to imagine Xiaokang eating with great pain and yet saying compliments against his will.
Tian An was speechless. He pointed at the casserole and asked, "What herbs did you add to it?"
"Rhubarb, hemp seed..." Yaoyao quickly rattled off a bunch of medicinal herbs. Tian An suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Xiaokang had acute gastroenteritis.
My goodness, stewing all these herbs together would be like a perfect diarrhea soup! If you really eat it, your intestines will be pulled out.
These two people are really fearless like newborn calves. One dares to do it and the other dares to eat it. It's amazing.
Although Tian An promised Xiaokang not to say it in front of Yaoyao, he did not promise him not to hint at it.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Yaoyao, do you know what the effects of rhubarb, hemp seed and other herbs are, and what are their main treatments?"
Yaoyao thought Tian An was testing her, so she memorized the names of the herbs and listed the medicinal properties of several of them.
Tian An nodded, first praised her for her hard work and good aptitude, and finally told her implicitly what the consequences would be if someone really drank this pot of soup.
Yaoyao was shocked when she heard this. She quickly threw away the spoon and jumped up away from the casserole, as if it was some kind of monster.
"It's over, Brother Xiaokang..." Suddenly she seemed to remember something and rushed out of the kitchen.
Tian An knew that she was going to find Xiaokang, so he didn't stop her. After all, medicinal food cannot be stewed randomly. Xiaokang was fine if she endured it herself, but if Yaoyao misunderstood the medicinal materials because of this, it would be a big disaster in the future.
After instructing someone to prepare the pot of "medicinal food" stewed by Yaoyao, Tian An picked up the pot again and began to make stomach-nourishing porridge for Xiaokang.
When she returned to the room with the porridge, she saw Yaoyao with red eyes, looking worried and self-blaming as she accompanied Xiaokang.
Seeing Tian An coming, Xiaokang subconsciously said: "Sister, didn't I tell you not to tell Yaoyao?"
Yaoyao couldn't help but glared at him when he heard him say that, "How dare you say that? You're still enduring it even though it's become like this, are you trying to save your life?
After hearing what Yaoyao said, Xiaokang instantly retreated into his shell like a turtle, keeping his mouth shut and not daring to say a word. He was extremely obedient.
Tian An was amazed by what he saw. It really is true that there is always someone better than you!
But she felt she still needed to explain. After all, she was a person of her word. "I didn't tell Yaoyao that you were sick! I just told her the consequences of drinking the soup made with those herbs."
When Yaoyao heard that Xiaokang not only didn't say anything himself, but also didn't allow Tian An to say anything, she scolded Xiaokang again.
“I stew food for you because I hope it will be good for you, not to harm you.
But the stuff wasn't good, yet you kept it a secret and didn't let anyone tell me. I was just lucky this time, and Sister An An found out in time. If something really happened to you, would you want me to feel guilty for the rest of my life?
Even if you are fine in the end, if I really believe you and think that what I made is good, and give it to other people to eat, what will be the consequences? Have you ever thought about this?"
Thinking of Yaoyao's identity, Xiaokang suddenly felt a pang of fear. If, because of him, Yaoyao really stewed these things for the emperor and the queen after returning, the consequences would be...
Xiaokang realized his mistake and immediately apologized to Yaoyao and Tian An, saying that he knew he was wrong and would definitely not make the same mistake again.
Yaoyao was both angry and distressed with him. She picked up the porridge that Tian An brought over and insisted on feeding him the porridge herself.
It was inevitable that he was a little unfamiliar with this kind of thing since it was his first time. After Xiaokang choked a few times, he wanted to say it was okay. But thinking of his previous mistakes, he stopped trying to cover it up and started teaching Yaoyao how to adjust the porridge feeding movements. After a while, Yaoyao learned it well.
Tian An watched the interaction between the two, shook his head, and walked out of the room.
