Chapter 80: Escape from the Sickness
As soon as Bai Zhi left, Wei Sisi came to Yunli, covering her face and crying: "Yunli, Yunli, look at my face, what's happened? It's over! Am I going to be disfigured? Wuwu... Wuwu..."
Yun Li did not say anything, just watched her cry quietly
Wei Sisi cried for a while, and found that Yunli didn't even have a word to comfort her, so she stopped crying, rubbed her eyes, wiped away her tears, and when her eyes cleared and she saw Yunli's face, she paused for a moment, and then burst into laughter.
"Haha ...
Yun Li pointed to the chair opposite and said, "Sit down when you've had enough laughter. I'll ask Bai Zhi to get Doctor Wu!"
"What's going on? Why do I have a rash on my face after having breakfast at your place? Did someone poison our breakfast?"
Wei Sisi said thoughtfully
Yun Li shook her head guiltily, feeling a little sorry for Wei Sisi. Alas, if it wasn't for the sake of making the play more realistic, she wouldn't have to torment her like this.
However, the medicine she developed has no side effects. It only looks scary on the face, but it actually does not hurt or itch. After a while, the body will become hot, making people think it is a high fever, but in fact it is just detoxification of the body.
"That's hard to say, but are you feeling unwell?"
Wei Sisi shook her head and said, "It's strange, even though I have so many rashes on my face, they don't hurt or itch... I don't feel any discomfort at all. I used to be afraid of death and disfigurement, but now seeing you like this, I'm not afraid at all... With you by my side, even death would be worth it!"
Yun Li glanced at her and said coldly: "I don't want to die. I haven't lived enough! Don't worry, we will be fine!"
Not long after, Bai Zhi and Doctor Wu came hurriedly.
Doctor Wu took the pulses of Yunli and Wei Sisi one by one. Yunli had already corrected her pulse before, so if the doctor found out she was pregnant, what would happen? The sensation would be no less than the incident of Concubine Shu and her guards having an affair...
After a long moment, Doctor Wu looked at the two of them and asked, "Miss Yun, Miss Wei, when did you both start to get these rashes on your faces?"
"It was just after breakfast today. Before that, I was fine!"
"Apart from your face, do you have any other discomfort?"
Yunli said: "I feel a little feverish and drowsy."
Wei Sisi touched her forehead and murmured: "Is that so? I seem to have a fever too..."
Doctor Wu said thoughtfully, "That's strange. The symptoms came on so quickly that I really couldn't make up my mind..."
Wei Sisi was shocked. "What happened to Doctor Wu? Is there any way to cure my face?"
"It's too early to jump to conclusions. Have you two ladies been anywhere else today? Could you please bring me the food you ate so I can examine it?"
“I never left this house.”
Wei Sisi also shook her head: "Apart from coming to this room, I go to the room next door."
Yun Li ordered, "Bai Zhi, go get a portion of my breakfast this morning and show it to Doctor Wu!"
"Yes, Miss!"
"Would you ladies allow me to inspect the house?"
Yun Li nodded: "Doctor Wu, please do as you please!"
Then Doctor Wu checked everything in the room, including the clothes Yun Li had placed beside the bed, which were also stained with some medicine powder. After checking this room, Doctor Wu went to the house next door where Wei Sisi's brother Xia Yanzhi lived and checked everywhere in the yard.
"My two ladies have initially determined that your symptoms are very similar to smallpox, but they are not smallpox. I cannot come to a definitive conclusion at this time..."
As soon as the words fell, the teacup in Wei Sisi's hand fell to the ground
Shocked, he asked, "Smallpox, are you saying I have smallpox? Wouldn't that be contagious?"
Doctor Wu shook his head: "It's not smallpox, but the symptoms are similar to smallpox. I can't tell if it's contagious. To be on the safe side, I need to observe for a while.
Also, anyone who has long-term contact with the two young ladies in this courtyard should not leave for the time being..."
Yunli nodded
Wei Sisi looked bewildered. "It's over. We can't go back..."
"I'll prescribe some heat-clearing and detoxifying medicine for you two young ladies. Take it three times a day!"
"Okay, thank you for troubling Doctor Wu!"
After Doctor Wu left, he immediately reported the matter to Deputy Commander Gao.
"Notify everyone, pack your luggage and leave immediately! And who else is living in Miss Yun San's East Courtyard?"
"Commander, besides Miss Yun San and her maid, there is also Miss Wei from the Minister of Rites's family and Miss Xia from the Vice Minister of Justice's family!"
"Then let them stay here together and tell them that I will report their situation to the Emperor and their families upon my return!"
"yes!"
"Also, inform the abbot to take good care of the three young ladies!"
"Yes! I obey your command!"
When the troops were ready to go, everyone gathered at the gate of Jing'an Temple. The guards who were supposed to deliver the message came hurriedly.
"Commander, this is terrible! Miss Yun San and Miss Wei's maids have also been infected..."
When the words fell, everyone was shocked, and even more panicked. They were all thinking about whether they had close contact with Yun Li and the others today or yesterday.
"Let's go! We can't stay here anymore..."
"Commander Gao, let's get going quickly. Otherwise, if the entire Jing'an Temple is infected, how will we be able to leave?"
"Yes, it's true, Commander Gao, give the order to move!"
A young lady in the crowd whispered, "But...are we just going to leave like this and ignore Miss Xia, Miss Wei, and the others?"
"If you don't want to leave, why don't you stay and keep them company?"
"Yes, if you don't leave, no one will stop you! If you feel sorry for them, just stay."
Everyone was talking at once, attacking her with cold words.
Yun Wei in the crowd looked towards the East Courtyard and couldn't help but sneer. Yun Li finally got his retribution. She just felt that he deserved it. It would be best if Yun Li died here this time!
This was smallpox! If you got it, you'd lose a lot of skin, even if you didn't die. And only a handful of people could survive it. She was going back to celebrate!
It really is true that the saying goes: God will punish the wicked!
"Set off!"
Deputy Commander Gao glanced at the direction of the East Courtyard of Jing'an Temple behind him, and then ordered the team to set off
Everyone got on their carriages and slowly drove towards the capital.
…
Wei Sisi was lying on the couch with a plate of snacks in her arms. She took a snack from the plate and stuffed it into her mouth. "Oh, they just abandoned us like that! These people are so heartless... What should we do? We are left to fend for ourselves here..."
Yun Li didn't answer her. She turned to look at Bai Zhi and ordered, "Bai Zhi, what is Miss Xia doing? Go and ask her to come over!"
"Yes! Miss!"
"You go back and pack your things, and we'll set off too!"
"Departure? Where to?"
"Go to the countryside to recuperate! Find a place where no one is around!"
"ah?……"
