When Tian An woke up, Zhao Yiming was already beside him. Looking outside, the sky was bright, indicating that it was getting late.
But she slept too soundly last night and had no idea when Zhao Yiming came back. She was afraid of disturbing his sleep, so she just stayed in his arms and continued to sleep without moving.
Until the little guy in my belly started to protest.
"Gurgle, gurgle..." Even through the quilt, Zhao Yiming could still clearly hear Tian An growling in hunger.
He rubbed his brows. Even though he looked exhausted, he still stood up and went outside to order someone to prepare food. Then he came back to help Tian An get up. "Why didn't you wake me up if you were hungry?"
"Seeing how tired you look, I can't bear to leave you! When did you come back?" Tian An said as he put on his clothes.
"It's almost dawn." Zhao Yiming shook his head to make himself more awake.
Hearing this, Tian An frowned and said, "Then why are you getting up? Go back to sleep." As he said that, he was about to push Zhao Yiming to lie down.
Zhao Yiming waved his hands and said, "No need, I have something important to do later."
As he said this, he looked at Tian An with a guilty look on his face, "An An, I'm afraid I can't spend the New Year with you this year."
Tian An was stunned, "What do you mean?"
"A strange disease has suddenly broken out in Mei County, Weizhou. I heard it's contagious. The Emperor ordered me to escort the relief grain and the imperial physicians there."
"It's contagious? Then why did the emperor let you go?" Tian An nervously pulled him and said in disbelief.
"I volunteered." Zhao Yiming took Tian An's hand and held it tightly, his face full of reluctance. "If I don't go, this matter will probably fall on my father-in-law. He and my mother-in-law just reunited, so they should spend the New Year together!"
Tian An was silent. On one side was her husband, and on the other side was her father. How could she make a choice?
Seeing Tian An's embarrassment and worry, Zhao Yiming put his hands on her shoulders and asked her to look at him.
"An An, as children, this is the most basic filial duty. My father-in-law has treated me well, and this is what I should do.
Don't worry, I'm only responsible for transporting supplies and escorting the imperial doctors. I don't need to come into close contact with patients. Be careful, and you'll be fine."
"Then when are you leaving?" At this point, no matter how hypocritical she was, she couldn't change anything. She could only prepare as much as possible for him to prevent any problems.
If she wasn't pregnant, she would definitely go with him regardless of the consequences, but now, she has to take care of the little one in her belly.
"I'll have to leave after I finish eating with you.
At first, it was thought to be just an ordinary disease. Later, the county magistrate found that the problem was serious. He was afraid that it would affect his political achievements, so he suppressed it by force and only gathered local doctors to deal with it.
It was not until the disease broke out completely that the county magistrate could no longer suppress it that he reported it to his superiors.
It takes seven or eight days to get from Weizhou to the capital by express horse. If we rush there again, it will take another seven or eight days. The situation will be much more serious. We can't delay any longer."
Hearing this, Tian An quickly put on his clothes, casually tied his hair, and without even bothering to wash his face, he prepared to go out. "You go eat first. I have to help you get some food first."
Zhao Yiming grabbed her and said, "Don't worry, Jingyu has already prepared it overnight. Just accompany me for dinner. We won't be able to see each other for a while. In this final time, I just want you to be by my side."
"Pooh, pooh, pooh, what nonsense are you talking about? What last time? Can you even speak?" Tian An frowned and quickly corrected him.
"Even if I don't arrange other things, you have to bring some more medicine from my space." As he said that, Tian An directly pulled Zhao Yiming into the space and came to the pharmacy in the space.
He used his mind to take a large woven bag from the storage room and started packing.
Disposable medical respirators, medical gloves, medical protective suits, etc., are available for you to take as many as you can. "Even if you are not a patient, you must avoid direct contact and take proper protection."
He then glanced at the disinfectant beside him and had Zhao Yiming move a few boxes out and put them aside, ready to take them away later. "Your place needs to be disinfected three times a day. Don't neglect it."
After that, he brought in all the medicines that Tian An estimated would be useful, and he moved as many as he could.
Prepare to go to the pharmacy that Zhao Yiming specially prepared for Tian An to move these things out, and then let the secret guards load them onto the carriage and transport them away.
Fortunately, the pharmacy in the space has the function of automatically replenishing inventory. Even if these things are emptied, as long as Tian An puts the required medicinal raw materials into the space, it will not take long to replenish the types and quantities of medicines that have been taken away.
In addition to medical supplies and medicines, Tian An also asked Tian An to move a lot of mineral water, instant noodles and other supplies.
"In those places, you have to be more careful about what you eat and drink. If you can avoid drinking water outside, don't drink it. Even if you do drink it, you have to boil it thoroughly before drinking..."
Tian An kept on talking, hoping to tell Zhao Yiming as much as possible and in as much detail as possible about the precautions.
Zhao Yiming also knew that what Tian An said were all good advice, and he wrote down every word carefully.
Only after they had taken everything they could think of and given all the instructions they could think of did Tian An take Zhao Yiming out of the space.
The two went to the pharmacy to move out all the supplies they wanted to take away from the space, and asked Jingyu to bring people to load them onto the carriage. Then Zhao Yiming took Tian An's hand and went to the dining room together.
This time, it was his turn to give Tian An instructions.
“If there’s anything serious that can’t be resolved, go find Xiao Chen or the Crown Prince.
If you are bored, ask your third uncle’s two younger sisters to come and talk to you.
During the Chinese New Year, go spend the New Year with your parents-in-law! You can stay for a few days and then come back. You can temporarily leave the trivial matters in the mansion to your uncle and aunt.
Don't work too hard and take care of yourself."
Speaking of health, Zhao Yiming thought of Tian An taking his pulse last night and asked again.
Tian An didn't want him to worry about her when he was away from home, so she simply concealed the news of her pregnancy and just said that she was in good health, but was growing recently and had eaten too much at the time, and it would be fine after a few days.
Zhao Yiming didn't suspect anything and picked up her favorite dishes from the table and served them to her.
After Tian An took the dish from his chopsticks, he quickly refused his next move to pick up the dish, "Just leave me alone and eat first. It will be too late later."
As he spoke, he turned around and served him the food. Sure enough, just after he finished the food in the bowl, Jingyu came and urged him to set off.
Seeing this, Tian An no longer cared about eating. He personally followed him to see him off, and then reluctantly came back to take care of the little ones in his belly.
