Chapter 37 I just wanted to feed him some medicine, why is it so difficult? (3 more)

At five in the morning, Lu Zexu returned to his own bedroom again.

He hurriedly took out pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and wrote down the drawings he had memorized and the instructions for using the medicine.

But now the East Palace is closed, and the drawings cannot be sent out. Everything has to wait until the epidemic subsides.

By the time he hid the things he bought from the supermarket, it was already time for breakfast.

While drinking the porridge, he asked, "What's the news from the side courtyard? How is the general?"

Fulu looked at his face and answered cautiously, "Two servants serving medicine in the side courtyard have also been infected with the epidemic."

"The general has a persistent high fever and has started talking nonsense. He vomited six times last night and couldn't eat breakfast today. The imperial physician said that if the high fever doesn't go away, it will be dangerous."

Hearing this, Lu Zexu couldn't even eat. He stood up and jumped to go to the side courtyard.

Fulu knelt down in front of him, blocking his way, "Your Highness, you really can't go! This epidemic is so severe. If you are infected, wouldn't it be an advantage for others?"

"You are right." Lu Zexu turned and walked towards the bedroom.

Fulu was very relieved that the Crown Prince was still willing to listen to advice.

Who would have known that Lu Zexu would come back after he forgot to wear a mask, so he took a box and handed it over, "Every servant in the side courtyard must wear one, and are not allowed to take it off. Those who violate it will be beheaded!"

"Yes."

Fulu would obey Lu Zexu's orders unconditionally as long as it did not endanger his own safety.

Lu Zexu picked up two bottles of disinfectant and told the ratio of water, "Also, let the servants clean the East Palace from top to bottom, use this."

"I'll do it right away!"

Seeing Fei Fulu leaving, Lu Zexu breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and left the bedroom and went to the side yard.

Shen Hong's condition was much more serious than Fulu said. He felt much worse after just one night of not seeing him.

He lay sickly on the bed, breathing weakly, as if he could die at any time.

Seeing the prince coming, the imperial physician was so scared that he knelt down, "Your Highness, you are worth a lot of money, how can you come to such a dirty place? If the emperor gets to know about this, it will be disastrous."

Lu Zexu didn't care and casually picked up a mask and gave it to the imperial physician, "Father won't care about these little things."

Fulu hadn't had time to come over yet, and the mask hadn't been delivered yet.

The doctor followed Lu Zexu's example and put on a mask, with a light flashing in his eyes, "Your Highness is wise, covering your mouth and nose like this can reduce the possibility of epidemic transmission!"

Lu Zexu was not thick-skinned enough to accept this compliment, "How is the general?"

The doctor's face suddenly darkened, "I am not good at learning, please forgive me, Your Highness!"

Lu Zexu clenched his fists, suppressing the anger in his heart, but he didn't really anger the doctor, "You have been tired all night, go to rest first."

The doctor bowed and left.

When Fulu came over, he saw that his own prince had gone to Shen Hong's bedroom. He was so scared that he trembled all over and sat down directly on the ground.

Then he let out a shrill voice, "Your Highness! How could you..."

"Shut up!" Lu Zexu suddenly turned around and shouted sternly, so sternly and frighteningly that Fulu couldn't say a word.

Because of this voice, Shen Hong, who had been sleeping, also opened his eyes. When he saw the figure in front of the bed clearly, he suddenly became anxious.

He struggled to get up, but he had no strength in his body. He could only wave at him and uttered a few words with difficulty, "Go! Go!"

Lu Zexu sat down beside the bed instead, "Uncle, don't worry, I'm wearing a mask, so it's not that easy to be infected."

Shen Hongcai didn't listen to his explanation. He slowed down, his voice still anxious, "If you have a... cough cough... something... something serious, how should I... tell you? "Sister...explain!"

Lu Zexu helped him up and smiled softly, "Uncle, I'm telling you this too. If anything happens to you in my palace, I won't be able to explain to my mother."

As he spoke, he took out the medicine that he had prepared long ago from his arms, "Uncle, your condition is not very good. The imperial physician is helpless against the epidemic. This is a new medicine. It may save you, or it may allow you to see Prince Yan in advance."

"Whether to take it or not, uncle will decide for himself."

Shen Hong didn't even ask, he took out the two pills in his hand, and swallowed them directly without using any water.

Lu Zexu thought that facing life and death, his uncle would have to think about it, but he didn't expect that his uncle would be so decisive.

Seeing his surprised expression, Shen Hong's sickly face actually showed a faint smile, "If you don't eat, you will die. Ahem... if you eat, you will still have... a chance of survival. This choice is not difficult to make."

That's the truth.

Shen Hong was still worried, "Go back."

Lu Zexu followed suit and immediately called the eunuch to serve him. Seeing him wearing a mask, he was quite satisfied.

After leaving the bedroom, he saw that the servants in the side hall had already swept all around according to his request. Although the smell was a bit unpleasant, my sister said that this could reduce the spread of the epidemic.

Fulu hurriedly walked up to Lu Zexu and said, "My Highness, the general has seen it too, you'd better leave here! This is really not a good place!"

Lu Zexu ignored him and said, "Where are the two servants who are infected with the plague?"

"In the side room, the situation is lighter than that of the general, but it's not very good either." Fulu knew everything about the side courtyard.

Lu Zexu walked towards the side room, "Reward them with some good food."

"I'll do it right away." Fulu was about to leave, but then he thought of something and slowed down, "Your Highness, those two servants are not worthy of your attention. You are worth a lot of money, but... um..."

Before he finished speaking, Lu Zexu covered his mouth with his hand, "Shut up! Are you the master, or am I the master?"

What else did Fulu dare to say?

He could only go and do his job quickly.

After Lu Zexu went in, he just put the medicine into two teacups. The servants usually drank boiled water, and there was no tea for them to drink.

By the time Fulu had someone bring the meal over, the pills had completely dissolved in the water.

The two were lying on the floor, already unconscious from the fever.

"Feed them some water first, then give them food," said Lu Zexu.

The two servants deftly fed them the water in the teacups little by little.

After seeing this, Lu Zexu left.

He was not sure if this medicine would be effective against the epidemic. Only if it was effective would he and his sister buy a large quantity of it. Thinking of the population in the capital, the camp outside the capital, and the eldest prince who had contracted the epidemic earlier, Lu Zexu lowered his eyes and thought deeply. He didn't have much time left.
