Fortunately, the eldest prince Li Chengyan was lucky enough and strong enough. Although the imperial physician was frightened and fell to his knees several times, the eldest prince finally managed to stand up.
There were several times when the condition was so serious that even the imperial physicians were afraid to prescribe medicine, and it was Yuan Bohua who ultimately made the decision.
As for sending people to report back to the Emperor and Empress in the palace, sometimes they were too far away and could not wait for the order from the palace.
Yuan Bohua was originally only responsible for peripheral security, but many of the people serving here were afraid of being infected. They were also worried that something might happen to the eldest prince, and they couldn't bear the responsibility.
The person with the highest status here, apart from the eldest prince, is Prince Fu'an.
So at the beginning, whenever there was any problem, they would come and report to Yuan Bohua.
Later, Yuan Bohua visited the eldest prince several times, and the eldest prince fell in love with Yuan Bohua.
It’s not because Yuan Bohua is a popular guy, but mainly because people around him have a sense of awe and fear of smallpox in their hearts.
So when facing the eldest prince, he was either trembling with fear for being infected, or looking at the eldest prince lying on the hospital bed with sympathy.
The patient was already sensitive, and the eldest prince was very impatient to see these people.
Ever since the eldest prince survived several major dangers, the blisters on his body began to scab over over time, and he could even sit up and read.
Yuan Bohua came to see the eldest prince again. After Yuan Bohua came in, he saluted humbly: "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you!"
The eldest prince quickly reached out to help Yuan Bohua, but Yuan Bohua certainly didn't want to trouble the sick eldest prince, so he stood up by himself.
The eldest prince thought that Prince Fu'an was just being modest. The emperor's uncle was already a prince, and he was just a prince. If he didn't have the chance to hold that position in the future, he would just be a prince. "The emperor's uncle..."
Yuan Bohua took a look at the eldest prince, Li Chengyan. Seeing that the eldest prince looked okay, he breathed a sigh of relief. The lives of everyone in the imperial farm were saved. "Seeing your highness like this, I feel much more relieved."
"Thank you for your care during this period, uncle!" The eldest prince said and bowed to Yuan Bohua on the bed.
Originally, Yuan Bohua wanted to avoid it, but the eldest prince's salute was too sudden. He had no time to avoid it and had to accept the eldest prince's salute.
Now that everything has been done, Yuan Bohua will certainly not let go of the opportunity to get closer: "Your Highness, there is no need to do this. This is my duty. Besides, you call me the Emperor's uncle, which is all right."
Seeing that Prince Fu'an did not take credit for himself, the eldest prince's evaluation of this uncle of the emperor rose to a higher level. Moreover, after spending some time together, the eldest prince felt a little close to this uncle of the emperor.
"Uncle, can you tell me about Prince Yi?" The eldest prince has always been interested in Prince Yi. Many of the messes that happened between him and Prince Fu were the ideas proposed by Prince Fu to his younger brother.
Now it was Yuan Bohua's turn to be surprised, "Your Highness is curious about my youngest son?"
The eldest prince nodded quickly, "I am quite curious, especially since the prince keeps talking about his younger brother all the time."
Yuan Bohua didn't want to give Yuan Chao Kang Li some kind of smart and talented personality. He thought about how his youngest son interacted with Yue'er on a daily basis: "Kang Ge'er is a good child, probably the kind of child that all ladies like!"
When the eldest prince heard what his uncle said, he became even more interested. He sat up straighter on the bed, his curiosity visibly evident.
When Yuan Bohua saw the eldest prince's reaction, he knew that if he didn't talk about something today, he probably wouldn't be able to leave.
"Kang Ge'er has always wanted to be a playboy since he was young. I think he really enjoys this kind of life where he doesn't have to do any serious work.
When he was in the palace, he would accompany my princess to eat, go fishing, plant flowers and vegetables. In the past, when the princess was in charge of the accounts, he would help with the calculations.
Now he often goes out to play with some friends. Although his friends are not the mainstays of their families, I have checked privately and they are not bad people. We just eat, drink and have fun together.
The minister and the princess both think that this is nothing. If one has a choice in life, it is of course more cost-effective to choose to live the life they like.
For a family like ours, we don’t need every child to be so ambitious.”
In fact, Yuan Bohua felt that Yuan Chaokang was wasting his talents, but he also knew that nothing was more important than his son's safe and comfortable life.
At his age, he has finally been able to let go of things that he couldn't see through before after experiencing so many things.
The eldest prince listened to Uncle Fu'an's words and thought that if he could spend time with his mother every day, she would be very happy. However, in his position, he had to fight for it. Besides, he was not a man without ambition:
"The Imperial Uncle and the Imperial Aunt are both blessed people."
Yuan Bohua accepted the eldest prince's words with a smile, "Thank you for your kind words, Your Highness. Your Highness, please rest. I will take my leave."
Although the eldest prince still wanted to talk to his uncle, he also knew that his uncle must be very busy, so he could only let him go reluctantly: "Uncle, go and get busy!"
After confirming the condition of the eldest prince, Yuan Bohua no longer went to pay his respects to him frequently, but just focused on taking care of his own affairs.
The eldest prince contracted smallpox, and many of the people serving in the imperial farm could not escape the fate of being infected, even though the imperial physician prescribed medicine for them.
But many people could not escape the fate of death. One morning, Yuan Bohua also had a fever when he woke up. He knew that he was also infected.
He was finally able to lie down in bed with peace of mind. So many people were infected. It would be strange if he, who often had close contact with the eldest prince, was not infected.
He had a fever because he had secretly been exposed to cold wind for a long time and caught a cold. As for the herpes on his body, he got it because he took the folk remedy prescribed by Doctor Zhao.
This was the folk remedy that Doctor Zhao prescribed for them before he left two years ago after they were vaccinated against smallpox. It was for times like this.
This package of medicine was delivered by Zhou Qiongyue at that time along with clothes and other things. It had instructions on it, and it was up to him to decide whether to use it and when to use it.
Originally, Yuan Bohua had not planned to use it. He was only responsible for the peripheral security. He said that he was in good health and had not been infected, so he was not too outstanding.
But things were different since he frequently went in and out of the eldest prince's room.
When the emperor in the palace received the news that Yuan Bohua was also infected with smallpox, the emperor held the memorial and was silent for a long time.
The emperor still didn't want anything to happen to Yuan Bohua. After all, he was his former good friend and current brother-in-law.
The emperor had no way to deal with Zhou Qiongyue in the first place. If Yuan Bohua died because of the eldest prince, the emperor felt that he would never be able to stand up straight when facing his cousin in the future.
In the end, he ordered his confidant to take over the affairs in Yuan Bohua's hands, and sent a batch of good medicine so that Yuan Bohua could rest assured and recuperate.
The emperor also ordered people to block the news and not let the news of Prince Fu'an's illness spread.
The emperor didn't want his cousin to know the news. If she really rushed in, there wouldn't be many people who could stop her. If something happened to his cousin again, the emperor was also worried that his mother wouldn't be able to handle it.
