"Ma'am, it's time to eat."
Tian An was so engrossed in his research that he heard Deng Xue knocking on the door outside the space.
I was so focused just now that I didn't feel hungry. Now that Deng Xue interrupted me, I felt like my stomach was sticking to my spine.
"With a creak", Tian An opened the door and walked out of the room.
Deng Xue carried the lunch box and took Tian An back to the next room which she had disinfected repeatedly.
When he reached the door, he disinfected the food boxes on the two of them before he dared to open the door and enter.
When they took off their protective suits, their hair was wet with sweat and stuck tightly to their scalps, making them look extremely sloppy.
Especially Deng Xue, who did all the physical work, and several layers of her underwear were wet.
She raised her hand and sniffed her sleeve, subconsciously moving a little further away from Tian An, "Madam, you eat first! I'll eat after you finish."
"Alright, hurry up and sit down and eat. It's already this late, and you're still worrying about all this. I can hear your stomach growling with hunger."
This girl usually eats more than ordinary women, and now she has done so much work, she must be hungrier than herself.
At Tian An's repeated insistence, Deng Xue finally sat at the table, but she still subconsciously stayed away from Tian An, fearing that the smell on her body would bother her.
Because she had heard that pregnant women are the most sensitive and cannot stand any strange smells.
Seeing Deng Xue eating, Tian An didn't care about these details. She was really very hungry. Compared with ordinary pregnant women, her pregnancy reaction came relatively early this time.
After quickly eating a few mouthfuls of rice, Tian An asked about the Queen and the others.
"The injection left by the Madam has been used up. The Empress and the others look much better than before, and their foreheads don't feel as hot as before, but they are still not conscious." Deng Xue said after swallowing the food in her mouth.
Tian An nodded. Her potions only contained vitamins and some antipyretics. They could only temporarily replenish their body functions and make them feel better, but had little effect on the symptoms, so they naturally would not wake up.
"Where is Doctor Wang who came in earlier? How is he now?"
Tian An had not seen any trace of Doctor Wang in the Queen's bedroom before. He thought that he was either preparing medicine there or he had fallen ill and collapsed in some corner of the hall.
However, she didn't have time to look for him at that time, so she left the injection, thinking that Deng Xue would definitely search the entire hall and would definitely find Doctor Wang no matter what his current condition was.
However, Deng Xue's words left Tian An completely stunned. "Doctor Wang? I've never met Doctor Wang! I thought the young lady had miscalculated and left an extra set of injections!"
After being reminded by Tian An, Deng Xue only then remembered that there was such a person in Kunning Palace. It was he who first discovered the strange disease in Kunning Palace.
Deng Xue angrily knocked his head and said, "Look at my stupid brain. How could I have forgotten Doctor Wang?"
"Miss, eat first. I'll go find it right away." She quickly put on her protective suit and ran out.
Unfortunately, not long after, she came back and said that she had looked everywhere in the Kunning Palace and found no trace of Doctor Wang.
"Are you sure? How could someone this big not have it?"
"When I was disinfecting earlier, I checked every room, even the toilets, and I gathered everyone together to look after them.
When you asked me about Doctor Wang just now, I remembered that Doctor Wang was not among these people, and I wondered if he was in the yard outside.
But I searched every nook and cranny of Kunning Palace, and I couldn't find Doctor Wang."
Although she didn't know Doctor Wang, she could tell him at a glance because all those working in the palace had to wear official uniforms.
"Let's go look in the room again. Maybe Doctor Wang fainted in a corner and you didn't notice him!"
"Okay." Tian An said this, and Deng Xue also suspected that she had missed something.
Then he accompanied Tian An to look for people from room to room.
But strangely, this time they actually found Doctor Wang with a flushed face and a high fever under the stove in the small kitchen of Kunning Palace.
Deng Xue scratched her head in confusion. She had clearly come to the small kitchen specifically to disinfect before, and she was sure that Doctor Wang was not there at that time.
"Doctor Wang, Doctor Wang..." Deng Xue squatted down before Tian An and shook Doctor Wang.
Fortunately, although Doctor Wang had a high fever, he did not fall into a complete coma.
His eyelids trembled a few times, and then he slowly opened his eyes. He was frightened to see Deng Xue in protective clothing, "Ghost, ghost!"
"Doctor Wang, I'm not a ghost. I'm Deng Xue, a maid in Duke Zhao's mansion. I came here with my wife to treat the Empress." Deng Xue was afraid of scaring people into having problems, so she hurriedly explained.
"Duke Zhao's Mansion? Is it Princess Anping who is here?" Doctor Wang excitedly turned his head with great effort to see Tian An.
Seeing this, Tian An hurried forward and asked, "Doctor Wang, how do you feel now?"
Doctor Wang shook his head. "I started having a fever at noon, and it's getting worse now. I'm dizzy and lightheaded. I'm afraid I'll die here."
"Don't worry! I will definitely take you out with me."
Doctor Wang was still conscious except for having a fever and feeling weak. Tian An and Deng Xue helped him to the room where Deng Xue had accommodated the palace servants.
On the way, Tian An asked Doctor Wang, "Weren't you in the kitchen earlier? Deng Xue went there to disinfect and didn't see you. She almost forgot you there."
"Before?" Tian An keenly sensed that Doctor Wang was visibly stunned after hearing her question, and then he explained weakly: "Maybe I went to another room to get medicine, and when I was making medicine for the Queen, I strayed from Miss Deng Xue!"
After a pause, he continued, "Originally, I suddenly thought of a prescription that I thought might be useful. I was planning to get some medicine to make for the Empress, but I didn't expect my body to not be able to cope.
Not only did I spill the herbs into the stove and burn them, but I also fainted from exhaustion. If the county lady hadn't come looking for me, I'm afraid I would have..."
Listening to Doctor Wang's words, Tian An always felt that there was something fishy going on, as if he was trying to excuse himself and explain to them why Deng Xue didn't find him in the kitchen just now.
Tian An put aside his suspicion and asked, "What was the prescription you came up with earlier? Could you please describe it to me? I will share it with the imperial doctors outside so we can discuss it together."
Hearing this, Doctor Wang's expression was somewhat restrained, as if he had a splitting headache, but he was forcing himself to insist, "Of course, yes, you can, but, but right now my head hurts so badly that I have forgotten most of the prescription."
"Oh! That's such a pity. Maybe this prescription can cure this strange disease!" Tian An said with regret.
"Why don't you think about it again?"
"Okay, I'll think about it again..." Doctor Wang said with difficulty. He became weaker and weaker, and almost unconscious.
Seeing this, the two of them quickly helped him onto the bed, and Tian An immediately took his hand to take his pulse.
