Physician Feng and the others brought the rabbit and herbs back to the camp.
The imperial physicians split into two groups; one group followed Physician Feng to conduct drug trials.
The other group continued to care for the patients.
It takes time to verify whether herbs are effective.
During this period, the imperial physicians adjusted the prescriptions according to the different symptoms of the patients and provided them with relatively routine medical treatment.
With Xie Yuan taking care of him closely, Helian Jue was in exceptionally good spirits.
Perhaps his mood really affected his body, because he finally stopped having recurring fevers and his cough wasn't as bad anymore.
Apart from being a little weak, he seemed to have recovered from his illness.
"Ah Yuan, don't do it yourself, let the servants do it."
Helian Jue's eyes were filled with tenderness; his A Yuan was no longer just one person.
She's pregnant with their child.
Although Helian Jue didn't really like children and never thought about having an heir.
He was used to being the only one who mattered, and even when planning a great undertaking and knowing the importance of an heir, he never thought about what he should do for his children.
If it exists, it exists; if it doesn't, it doesn't.
In this world, one strongman like Helian Jue is enough.
He already has A-Yuan, so he has no regrets in this life.
Having a son isn't as urgent as I'd like.
He would never take concubines or keep maids for the sake of his children.
Those women aren't like A-Yuan, ugly and stupid. If they had children, they probably wouldn't be any better off.
Why bother getting annoyed by some idiots?
Isn't the stupid younger brother next door enough?
The fourth prince, who was innocently mentioned: ...What does this have to do with me? Even if I'm stupid, what does it have to do with you? My princess doesn't even look down on me.
"I want to take care of you myself!"
Xie Yuan smiled, washed the cloth in the basin, and then wiped Helian Jue.
Hearing Xie Yuan's words, although they weren't cheesy sweet nothings, Helian Jue felt a warm feeling in his heart.
He glanced at Xie Yuan's still flat stomach and said softly, "I will take care of Yuan too!"
Pregnancy is a very difficult time for women.
As a husband, he will always stay by A Yuan's side and take care of her.
...
A faint, sweet scent wafted from the tents of the Yue King's residence.
The atmosphere in the camp of the Prince of Yong's mansion next door was somewhat tense.
"Ah Yuan, what's wrong? You look terrible. And...and your hands, why are they so cold?"
The fourth prince gripped Princess Xu's hand tightly, his hand trembling slightly.
His face was filled with worry and panic.
what to do?
Ah Yuan's forehead feels so hot!
Is she sick too?
Hasn't everything been brought under control?
They sprayed alcohol, sprinkled lime, and even handed over all the sick patients to the Yue King's Mansion.
The Fourth Prince never imagined that he and his wife would also be infected!
The key point is that, of the two, the one who was infected was actually the wife, who was known for her fierceness and strength.
Princess Xu: ...No matter how fierce I am, I am still a woman, okay?
Now was not the time to complain. Princess Xu suppressed her irritation and said softly to the Fourth Prince, "I must be sick!"
"Your Highness, you don't need to worry. I've always been healthy and strong, I'll be fine."
As she spoke, Princess Xu seemed to have thought of something, and slightly curled the corners of her mouth, "Fortunately, it is I who am sick, not Your Highness!"
Fourth Prince: ...I'm just stupid, not delicate!
Although I am not as strong and resilient as the princess, I am still a dignified man.
"No! I'd rather be the one who's sick!"
The fourth prince understood that his princess was worried about him.
But he also felt sorry for the princess. Seeing her pale face and covered in cold sweat, he wished he could take her place.
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore!"
Originally, I wanted to take this opportunity to spice things up with my husband, but my silly husband has already started crying his eyes out.
Princess Xu knew she couldn't afford to be sentimental any longer.
Otherwise, your own silly boy will burst into tears, as if he has lost his parents.
Pah! Pah! Pah!
We mustn't speak carelessly; the Xu family are loyal subjects of the emperor, and we can't curse the monarch.
With her smile fading, Princess Xu, like a domineering shrew, began to boss the Fourth Prince around:
"Go and tell your brother and sister-in-law first, then ask the imperial physician to come over!"
"Have someone bring alcohol, quicklime, and other disinfectant to disinfect the entire tent, inside and out."
"Also, have someone prepare another tent, and you can move it there immediately."
Despite her dizziness, Princess Xu made the arrangements one by one.
When she spoke, she tried her best to turn her head away so as not to face the Fourth Prince.
Sister Yuan once said that some diseases are transmitted through the splashing of saliva.
Patients should avoid contact with others as much as possible to prevent the possibility of virus transmission.
"No! I don't want to!"
The Fourth Prince obediently complied with all of Princess Xu's other arrangements.
But, absolutely not, "moving" or anything like that!
The fourth prince was indeed afraid; in this day and age, even a common cold could be fatal.
Not to mention the legendary poison of "miasma"?
But the fourth prince was more worried about his wife.
He clenched his fists tightly, stiffened his neck, and said in a slightly childish tone, "Xie Yuan isn't afraid even though she's pregnant. Am I, a grown man, less capable than Xie Yuan?"
Well, okay, he really can't compare to Xie Yuan.
In terms of both wisdom and ability, the only woman in this world who can compare to Xie Yuan is probably his princess.
However, the fourth prince possessed the pride of a man and the responsibility of a husband.
He noticed that when Princess Xu spoke, she didn't dare to face him directly.
