"Hehe, this proves that I am knowledgeable and experienced." Song Jiaren took the pill from the Crown Prince's hand and observed it carefully, confirming that it was exactly the same antipyretic medicine as the modern one. It stands to reason that it could not have been developed in ancient times, but with the existence of a person like her who traveled through books, nothing else is impossible. Maybe it was developed by other people who traveled through books.
"Your Highness, could you please pour me a glass of water?"
Gu Zhen was still a little worried, "Do you really want to eat it?"
"Yes, don't worry, Your Highness." Song Jiaren said again, "By the way, you haven't told me where this medicine came from."
"It's Thor, the third prince of Luosha Kingdom. Before we parted, he heard that you were sick, so he asked me to give it to you to try."
"Oh, I see." If Luosha Country really has this kind of Western medicine, I wonder if it can be introduced here.
Gu Zhen immediately revealed her inner thoughts. "Importing a small amount of it is indeed beneficial for treating diseases, but the price is definitely not something ordinary people can afford. Even the third prince of Luosha Kingdom only brought one pill, so you can imagine how expensive it is. Ordinary people still prefer to drink traditional Chinese medicine."
Song Jiaren felt that she had indeed not considered it carefully and had thought things too simply, so she nodded and said nothing more. After all, it was not something that she, a concubine of the prince, could control.
Gu Zhen poured her a glass of warm water and helped her sit up. "Do you want to find someone who knows medicine to study this medicine?"
He was still worried, even though he knew Thor would not harm her.
"It's okay." Song Jiaren swallowed the medicine with a sip of water, then supported herself and lay back on the couch. "Your Highness, I want to sleep for a while."
"Well, go to sleep." Gu Zhen went out and closed the door gently.
Shitou was waiting outside the door. When he saw His Highness coming out, he leaned in and whispered, "These villagers are here to seek medical treatment. Their family members fell ill two days ago. The herbal medicine they took didn't work and instead made their condition worse. Now they have no other options, so they came to the village chief and hope that he can think of a solution or invite a doctor to treat them.
"Oh? All the same symptoms?" Gu Zhen crossed his arms and went over everything in his mind.
Shitou nodded solemnly and replied, "Yes, it's the same symptoms as Madam, and it got worse after taking the medicine."
Gu Zhen had a not-so-good guess. He heard that thirty years ago, a large-scale disease broke out across the country, killing many people. It took several years to control the disease, and it was recorded in history as a warning.
Later, once a disease capable of widespread transmission was discovered, heavy troops would be deployed while it was still under control, and the entire area would be sealed off until everyone was cured or dead, and then it would be burned to the ground without leaving any trace.
If this was really the disease, he had to take Song Jiaren away before being discovered by the officers and soldiers.
The leaves are yellow and the cold autumn wind is blowing the fallen leaves on the ground.
The village chief lamented that he was old and had been the village chief honestly for half his life. He thought that such a small village would not have any natural disasters or man-made disasters, and that the villagers could survive by farming and raising livestock. He did not expect such an infectious disease to suddenly appear.
He still remembers the disease he had thirty years ago. He was one of the people who got sick at that time. Miraculously, he recovered suddenly and left his hometown to become the village chief in this barren place.
Is this really my fate?
He only had a few years to live and was burned to death by the soldiers?
"Village chief, please let us out."
"Yeah, let's go out and get a doctor. Maybe he'll be fine in a few days."
"Yes, my mother is old, I don't know how long she can last..."
"My wife is pregnant. If there is a God, how can I live?"
The villagers were chattering about their own things, but the only thing they had in common was that they had to go out and find a doctor.
The village chief was thinking with a headache, but he really couldn't think of any good solution. He could neither let the court know about this matter nor let the villagers panic. He held the crutch tightly in his hand and pounded the ground under his feet, at a loss.
A young man wearing a men's robe and carrying a bag walked slowly into the courtyard and asked the villagers for directions. "Excuse me..."
The villagers and the village chief all turned to look at the handsome young man. The village chief stepped forward, passed the villagers, and said, "What do you want, young man?"
"I'd like to ask for directions. Which direction should I go to reach the grassland?" Su Su left the riverside area and asked for directions along the way before finally arriving here. She finally saw the village. She hadn't had a proper hot meal for a day and a night, and she was starving and powerless.
The village chief's expression was heavy, and he didn't bother asking any further questions. He pointed in a direction and said, "Go that way."
Su Su's stomach growled, and she felt hot all over. She said a little embarrassedly, "Old man, could you please stay with me for the next day? I can't stand the long journey through mountains and rivers, sleeping in the open air, and eating and drinking in the open air."
She really missed hot meals and warm bedding, so she put down her pride and pleaded, "I am proficient in medicine. If there are any colds, fevers, injuries or bruises in the village, I can treat them."
She hoped that the old man would keep her because she knew medical skills. After all, the old man was using a cane, and it was inevitable that he would feel unbearable pain on cloudy and rainy days. She could make a living with this skill.
Without waiting for the village chief's approval, the villagers swarmed over and excitedly asked, "Young Master, are you proficient in medicine? Can you treat fever and vomiting?"
Being surrounded by a group of villagers, she was a little startled. “Yes, if anyone in your family is sick, I can go and see them right now.”
"My home."
"To my house."
"Let's go to my house first. My wife is pregnant."
"My mother is old..."
“…”
Su Su was shocked. Could they all be sick?
Get sick together?
Gu Zhen and Shitou watched the whole process from a distance. Shitou said, "Should I ask you to invite this young master over for Madam to see?"
"No rush, wait until she knows what the disease is."
Song Jiaren was in a coma for a day. When she woke up the next day, she felt relaxed, her head was no longer confused, her body was no longer hot, and she even had the strength to sit up and eat.
She was grateful for the pill from the Third Prince of Luosha Country, which helped her recover so quickly. "Sir, when you see the Third Prince of Luosha Country again, you must thank him sincerely. Look, my condition has improved a lot after taking the medicine."
Gu Zhen was also happy to see that she was better. "His medicine was indeed somewhat effective, but it was Master Su who cured you."
"Mr. Su?" Could it be that the heroine hasn't arrived yet?
"When you were unconscious, a young man came to the village to ask for directions. He was proficient in medicine and stayed with us temporarily. He cured the sick villagers in the village. I asked Shi Tou to invite him for a consultation. It turned out that you had the same disease as the other villagers. You took some medicine and got better after a good sleep." Gu Zhen sighed that although Mr. Su looked young, he was indeed proficient in medicine.
It took only half a day to research the right medicine, which was all common in the mountains. Amu led a few villagers up the mountain, and within a few hours, they had gathered all the herbs. They lit a fire and boiled the medicine in a large pot. This morning, most of the villagers who were sick had improved, and they would probably be cured after taking two more doses of medicine.
"Dong Dong Dong"
"Your Highness, Young Master Su is here to invite you in." Shitou knocked on the door outside the house.
Gu Zhen stood up and covered Song Jiaren with the quilt before saying, "Come in."
A young man with tied hair, handsome features and wearing a light blue gown followed Shitou into the house.
Song Jiaren looked at the "young master" curiously. Although he was wearing a men's long gown, it couldn't hide his slender shoulders and waist. His slim figure and petite height made it easy for him to be mistaken for a young master.
But with her bright eyes, white teeth, fair skin and beautiful appearance, she is obviously the heroine! !
Are these people blind?
Can't you tell it's a woman?
Is it true that what is shown in TV dramas is true? In ancient times, you could just wear men's clothes and pretend to be a man to visit brothels?
Song Jiaren looked down at the ups and downs in front of her, then looked at the smooth sailing of the heroine, and sighed.
Her natural advantages don't allow it. Even if she wears men's clothes, she can't hide her own characteristics.
However, the heroine is really young. What hidden hobbies does the hero have?
Gu Zhen frowned and looked at the woman lying on the bed. She was stunned when she saw another man. She stared blankly at Master Su who came in.
Gu Zhen was in a state of confusion and coughed heavily, "Cough! Mr. Su, please help my wife take another look."
Su Su was stared at by the woman on the couch for a long time, but she didn't feel uncomfortable at all. She was a woman after all, and the lady on the couch must have seen through it.
Last night when I was seeing my wife, she was in a coma and I was already impressed by her delicate and beautiful appearance. It was already extraordinary. I didn't expect that now she would wake up and lie on the bed with a charming look on her face, her eyebrows and eyes full of affection, like a fairy descending from heaven.
Thinking about it this way, the colors in the palace are not good enough.
Su Su sat on a low stool in front of the couch, took her pulse, and examined her. Then he said, "Madam has recovered. She will be fine after a few more days of rest."
Gu Zhen stared at the hand on Song Jiaren's wrist and found it annoying. He simply turned his head away. His mind was in a mess and he couldn't make sense of anything.
"Now that you're ready, let's set off tomorrow."
"So soon?" Song Jiaren felt that although she felt better, she might not be able to withstand the rush.
Gu Zhen glanced at her. Was she reluctant to leave?
Because of this Mr. Su?
"It has been delayed for two days." Gu Zhen pursed his lips. He didn't want Song Jiaren to have any contact with this Mr. Su again. If he hadn't taken care of her health, he would have taken her away immediately!
Although Song Jiaren wanted to rest for two more days, she knew that she was a person who traveled through a book, so it would be better for her to stay away from the male and female protagonists as much as possible.
"As you say, let's go tomorrow."
The next day they set out from the village early in the morning. Master Su and the village chief came out to see them off. When they were far away, Song Jiaren withdrew her gaze and turned to look at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who had a gloomy face since yesterday.
What's going on?
Did the stone make him unhappy?
"Your Highness, would you like some hot water?"
In modern times, hot water is believed to cure all diseases, especially during menstruation, and men all over the world believe this.
Gu Zhen turned his head and squinted, his eyes cold and his voice emotionless, "No need."
Song Jiaren suddenly realized that she had been in the book for half a month and her period had not yet arrived. Could it be that it happened to come at this time?!
Speak of the devil, he appears. She felt a surge of heat in her lower abdomen and a dull pain in her stomach. She was suddenly in a state of confusion and looked at the calm Crown Prince beside her at a loss.
