Chapter 374 Splash
Jiusu yawned and leaned lazily on the wooden chair. This maid has good acting skills.
She said, "Okay, I'll go to the Prince's Mansion right away."
Xia Yan's voice was filled with tears, and at the end, she became softer and softer, and was already trembling. She shook her head: "No, we are going to the princess's mansion. I kowtow to you. The princess is in a very bad condition. Please hurry up..."
If I hadn’t agreed with Xu Jincai before.
I really thought it was something important.
Could it be that the poisonous insects will die easily when exposed to light?
Jiusu was helpless and stood up and said, "Your acting is pretty good. When I meet Xu Jincai, I will definitely ask her to make you a glittering golden trophy. Let's go to the princess's mansion."
Xia Yan walked into the yard and continued explaining.
She tilted her head and said, "I'm really not acting."
Zi Tan waved her hands, looking as if she understood: "Oh, I know, we all understand, we all know you are not acting."
Xia Yan: “…”
You idiot, why don't you explain quickly?
She gritted her teeth and thought, forget it, she'll go anyway.
The Princess Mansion was a palace specially bestowed by the Emperor to Xu Jincai to show his favor for Concubine Yin. Since she was not married, she usually did not live in the Princess Mansion. On the way from the Marquis' Mansion, she would pass by the Prince's Mansion.
Jiusu lifted the curtain and looked outside.
Just then, she ran into Zhou Ruier's maid arguing with a scholar in a dark alley. She curled her lips and knocked on the car wall, "Check who that scholar is."
"yes."
After a response, the carriage felt noticeably lighter.
After getting off the carriage, he followed Xia Yan all the way to the main bedroom.
Xia Yan stood at the palace door, not daring to go in and disturb them. She lowered her head and said humbly, "Miss Jiu, I will be waiting outside. If you need anything, please tell me. Please save the princess."
Then, he handed over a handkerchief.
"I will tie it for Miss Jiu."
She was quite embarrassed.
In the past, he always targeted Jiusu and tried to find a way to win back Master Jiang for the princess.
Now that the relationship between the princess and Miss Jiu has eased, she feels extremely guilty.
Jiusu walked in, looked at the person lying on the bed, and said, "Greetings, Her Royal Highness the Princess."
The surroundings were airtight and even emitted a strong smell of medicine.
There was no sign of toxins on the bracelet either.
There was a rustling sound from the bed, but the person still didn't get up. The tone was surprised, but because of the hoarseness of the voice, it was particularly unclear, "Jiusu? Why are you here?"
Jiusu frowned, "Where's Xu Cairong?"
Xu Jincai was puzzled: "I didn't ask you to come."
At this moment, Jiusu realized that it was not a matter of witchcraft. He recognized her hoarse voice, took a few steps forward, and asked, "Is the princess sick?"
"Yes! Don't come over." Xu Jincai cleared her throat and stopped him. "My disease is contagious. If I infect you, you will die too. If you die, Jiang Jing will end up living alone."
Jiusu asked her to stretch out her hand.
"At this time, you still care whether Ajing will die alone, Xu Jincai, don't be so stupid."
"You're stupid." Xu Jincai looked at her hand that had been forcibly pulled out. She still didn't dare to lift her face from the quilt, and her voice was filled with tears. "I told you this disease is poisonous and can kill people, and you still wanted to go forward. Was it that devil Xia Yan who sent you here? I warned her not to tell anyone. I might as well die here..."
She said.
She felt her pulse.
Soon, Jiusu had an idea in his mind.
Chickenpox, fever.
"How long?"
"Three days."
"Look up."
"No, it's ugly..."
Jiusu stopped talking, and Xu Jincai thought she had left. She subconsciously looked up, but met a pair of eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling. She immediately lowered her head in shame, and the more she thought about it, the sadder she became.
Xu Jincai cried and said, "Am I really ugly?"
Jiusu nodded: "Yes."
Xu Jincai cried even louder, sobbing, "I've done so many evil things, plotting against you, harming you, and even stealing your man. Isn't God's punishment enough for me? He's made me lose my innocence, and now I'm dying an ugly death."
"You've indeed done a lot of bad things, and you've received retribution." Jiusu said, "But your retribution is almost over. I've discussed it with the heavens, and as long as you do more good things, I won't spare your life."
She patted the woman's shoulder and opened her palm.
"have eaten."
Xu Jincai nodded, ate it, and then looked up and asked, "Am I really not going to die? Will these pimples go away?"
Jiusu took out the ointment as if by magic.
"Wait until the pimple is deflated, then you can apply it. Family price: fifty taels. Do you want to buy it?"
Xu Jincai nodded excitedly: "Buy!"
I don't have to die, and I don't have to become ugly. Fifty taels is not a loss at all.
Afterwards, Jiusu sold a lot more skin care products. Counting the two hundred taels she had earned, she said, "By the way, you need to take the medicine I just mentioned for seven days. It's very rare. Adding my consultation fee, it'll be one thousand taels."
"Here!" Xu Jincai took out a silver note worth one thousand taels.
Jiusu nodded, took out a large gourd, poured out fourteen small pills from it, and said, "Take it once in the morning and once in the evening. Avoid spicy seafood and eat more healthy vegetables. Also, don't scratch your face, otherwise it will leave acne marks."
The corner of Xu Jincai's mouth twitched.
He asked while looking at the big gourd that he couldn't even lift.
"Is your medicine rare? It seems like it can't even be sold."
Jiusu said: "Of course it is rare. Chickenpox is indeed contagious. Even you, who are in a high position, can get the disease, let alone other people. This medicine will be useful soon."
Looking at the small medicine bottle in his hand.
Xu Jincai fell into deep thought: "A few days ago, I took two poor people out for dinner. The child covered his face and leaned against the old man's arms. I thought he was asleep. Now I think it must be this disease. That night, my whole body... broke out in acne."
She asked in confusion.
"But Xia Yan also came into contact with it, so why is she okay?"
As she spoke, her face began to itch and she subconsciously reached out to scratch it.
Bang!
Something tapped the back of her hand.
“Hiss, it hurts.”
Jiusu Ni glanced at her and put down the hairpin on the small table next to her. "I told you not to scratch it, it will become very ugly. Maybe Xia Yan has a good physical condition. The most urgent thing now is to find them. If they are not treated, the mortality rate is very high."
Xu Jincai lowered her eyes. "My mother told me that when she was a child, she saw people infected with this disease. Out of ten people who got sick, only one survived."
She lay down weakly, a tear falling from the corner of her eye.
Sweat soaked my back, my consciousness was blurred, and my mind was wandering on the brink of death.
Jiusu thought she was talking about smallpox.
Listening to the steady breathing, he slowly left the bedroom.
Looking at the rainwater piling up in the yard and the worry on Xia Yan's face, he said, "When she wakes up, don't let her scratch her face, and don't let her take a bath. Just let her ventilate once a day, but don't let her be blown by the wind. Try to cover her face when she goes out."
Xia Yan knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Thank you, Miss Jiu."
Jiusu raised his hand and asked, "Where was the last time you saw the grandfather and grandson?"
Xia Yan recalled: "At that time, the maidservant and the princess followed them all the way. There was a noodle shop nearby, called something good. After eating, the old man carried the child and went into the alley."
