After making sure everything was properly covered, including his mouth and nose, Su Peisheng opened the door and led his wife inside.
As soon as Yunyi entered the room, she smelled a mix of odors in the air. The combination of several smells was quite unpleasant, making Yunyi want to hold her breath.
Fortunately, Su Peisheng was walking ahead and didn't see her expression, so he didn't know what Yunyi was thinking.
When Yunyi arrived at Yinzhen's bedside, she was truly astonished.
Yinzhen was never the kind of person who was very fat. He was also very diligent and always did things himself. He was often busy with errands until very late at night, but he would still get up as usual the next day.
In addition, Yinzhen was a very picky eater. He would not eat any food he did not like, and would not even touch it.
However, he is someone who doesn't like to trouble others. If he doesn't find a dish he likes when he's out, he'll only eat a little bit and then stop.
He ate little, worked a lot, and had little rest, so Yinzhen was even less likely to gain weight. As a result, he was always tall and thin, and was considered one of the thinner princes.
But the Yinzhen that Yunyi saw now was as thin as he had been at his peak. His face, which was usually a little chubby, was now skin and bones. Yunyi felt that she could hold his hand in one hand as long as it was outside the blanket.
Is this still the Yinzhen I remember? How could he have changed so much in just a few months? He's become someone I can't recognize.
Yunyi couldn't help but reach out and touch Yinzhen's cheek. He was lying quietly on the bed, his face deathly pale. If it weren't for his faint breathing, anyone who didn't know better would have thought he was...
Seeing this, Su Peisheng's eyes welled up with tears, and he recalled many happy times between his master and his wife.
Yunyi didn't see Su Peisheng's expression because of the angle, and she didn't know that he was thinking about her and Yinzhen.
Ignoring these matters, Yunyi secretly took Yinzhen's pulse while tucking him in.
After personally examining Yinzhen's pulse, it was clear that his condition was not optimistic. The epidemic was dangerous, and Yinzhen's health was not particularly good.
Previously, in Zhanggu County, Yinzhen worked diligently from dawn till dusk to carry out disaster relief work.
It was also because he didn't get enough rest that the disease entered Yinzhen's body. However, Yinzhen's mind was always tense before the disease took effect. It was only after Yinzhen caught up with the main group and was praised by Emperor Kangxi that his body relaxed and the disease officially took effect.
Moreover, because the incubation period was long, the epidemic came on fiercely, and within just a few days, Yinzhen began to fall into a coma. Now, it is believed that the torment of the disease has made him emaciated.
Fortunately, Emperor Kangxi ordered Yinzhen to move to the temporary palace for treatment. Although it was inconvenient not to know anyone there, it was very quiet and suitable for Yinzhen's current state of recuperation.
After taking his pulse, Yunyi had a general plan in mind. She already knew about Yinzhen's physical condition, so there was no need to worry too much now. With her there, Yinzhen would be fine.
Leaving aside how skilled or advanced her medical techniques are, Yunyi would ensure that nothing would happen to Yinzhen with the system around.
The most urgent task is to change the environment of the room where Yinzhen is currently living. The most important thing is to open the windows and let in some fresh air.
When a patient is sick, they need to rest and take good care of themselves. However, if the doors and windows are closed and no fresh air comes in, the air inside will be full of stale air and germs, which is not good for the person recuperating.
You can open the doors and windows a little to let the air circulate. If you are worried that the patient will be exposed to the wind, you can open the window a little smaller, or place a screen in front of the window to prevent the wind from blowing directly on the patient in bed.
Yunyi told Su Peisheng this, but as an ancient person, he seemed somewhat hesitant about Yunyi's words.
However, thanks to Yunyi's previous persona as a lucky charm, Su Peisheng thought about it and decided to believe his wife's words. He was also willing to try anything, even if it seemed hopeless.
After opening the doors and windows, the air in the room was indeed much better. Then Yunyi led everyone to disinfect the room and eliminate the viruses and bacteria.
The plague that Yinzhen contracted was actually a modern viral infection. After a flood, the rotting corpses of animals or humans were soaked in water. Healthy people drank this water directly without boiling it, which caused them to become infected with viruses and fall ill. This is what the ancients called a plague.
Plagues often occur after natural disasters or man-made calamities, such as earthquakes, floods, or wars. For people in ancient times, plagues were terrifying, and once discovered, they were often accompanied by large numbers of deaths.
Yinzhen was relatively fortunate. As a prince, he was of noble status, and after falling ill, he had imperial physicians appointed by Emperor Kangxi to treat him, as well as palace maids and eunuchs who were forcibly sent to serve him.
Aren't these people afraid? But they are servants and can only obey the orders of their superiors. They dare not run away at all.
During the time that Yinzhen was ill, many palace maids and eunuchs were infected by him, but fortunately there were imperial physicians. These people were used as test drugs and managed to survive.
Now that Yunyi has arrived, these palace maids and eunuchs seem to have found their pillar of support. Even the princess consort of Prince Yong, a person of high status and wealth, is not afraid of danger to come and take care of Prince Yong. They believe that the prince will recover and they will be safe as well.
After disinfecting the room, Yunyi led everyone to take away the quilts, clothes, bowls, chopsticks and cups that Yinzhen had used. They aired out what needed to be aired, boiled what needed to be boiled, and threw away what needed to be thrown away.
After finishing all these tasks, Yunyi went to the kitchen and cooked some white porridge.
According to Su Peisheng, Yinzhen is now finding it very difficult to eat, and he vomits after eating.
That won't do. People need food to survive; if you skip a meal, you'll get hungry. Without food to provide energy, how can a person get through the day?
Yunyi pretended to cook porridge, which was just an ordinary bowl of white porridge. No precious medicinal herbs or ingredients were added, but Yunyi put a little bit of Rejuvenation Pill powder in it.
He was still asleep when Yunyi fed him porridge, which was good, as it made things easier for her.
Yunyi helped Yinzhen sit up against the headboard, pressing his acupoints with one hand to prevent him from spitting out the porridge she was about to feed him, while using the other hand to spoon-feed him all the porridge.
Su Peisheng was extremely surprised, holding the bowl beside him. No matter how he tried before, the prince would spit it out. How come as soon as the princess came, the prince obediently ate the whole bowl of porridge?
Unable to understand this matter, Su Peisheng could only attribute it to the fact that his wife was a lucky star, because her good fortune brought good luck to her master as well.
