Xiao Chu'er, who was researching a prescription, locked herself up for a whole day. After leaving the court, Zou Yangyao came outside and knocked on the door.
Xiao Chuer's somewhat irritable voice came from inside: "I'm studying something, don't bother me."
Zou Yangyao put his hand down and hesitated for a moment: "The prescription took time to come up with. Why don't you come out and eat first?"
But Xiao Chuer ignored him.
Zou Yangyao was somewhat helpless: "I'll have the servants keep it hot for you at all times. If you want to eat, come out."
After that, Zou Yangyao left, and Xiao Chuer did not say anything to stop him.
She coughed softly in the room and vaguely felt that there seemed to be something wrong with her body. After a checkup, she initially thought that she was infected with the plague!
Xiao Chuer was not sad or scared, but felt a little happy instead.
In the afternoon, Jing Yuchen's carriage stopped outside the general's mansion and asked to go out with him to do something.
Zou Yangyao got on the carriage, and Jing Yuchen sat upright inside. Although he just sat there calmly, he looked a little indifferent.
The car drove for a while before Zou Yangyao spoke: "Your Highness, when you get back, why don't you talk to Yueshan about Chu'er staying in her room studying prescriptions and refusing to eat? Can she come and try to persuade him?"
He felt that women might be easier to talk to each other.
Jing Yuchen had been resting with his eyes closed, but now he opened them. "If she refuses to be disturbed, even Yue Shan will be of no use. Perhaps as a doctor, she is the only one who understands Miss Tai's current condition best. With a disease that can't be delayed, how can she be in the mood to eat?"
Zou Yangyao looked at Jing Yuchen with some surprise, then frowned and asked, "Then Shao Lecheng doesn't have a correct prescription?"
Jing Yuchen said solemnly, "The Queen Mother wants to kill her. Prince, you are taking a risk by doing this!"
Zou Yangyao was a little annoyed, but in the end he didn't say anything harsh.
Later that evening, Xiao Chuer made herself a prescription of medicine, drank it, and fell into a deep sleep.
Zou Yangyao came back from finishing his business with Jing Yuchen and asked the servant what Xiao Chuer was doing. The servant answered honestly, "Madam was decocting medicine in the kitchen. She then sent a portion to Tai Mansion, and she decocted another dose in the kitchen herself. Then she left the kitchen and went back to rest."
"Whose medicine is this?" Zou Yangyao vaguely sensed the problem.
The servant thought about it seriously: "This, this, maybe it's something Madam uses for research..."
Zou Yangyao frowned and reached out to knock on the door. After knocking several times, the person inside responded, "Don't disturb me!"
Hearing Xiao Chuer's words, although there was a hint of coldness in her voice, her voice was obviously weak!
Zou Yangyao frowned, looking very worried: "Chu'er, what happened to you? Let me go in and take a look at you?"
Xiao Chu'er responded weakly: "I need to be alone and quiet!"
This sentence did not make Zou Yangyao leave. Instead, he became more confused. If Xiao Chuer had no problems, why would she be unwilling to meet him?
"Chu'er, are you infected?" Zou Yangyao was still guarding the door, very worried.
In the room, the only response he received was silence.
There was no response at all, so he said anxiously, "Tai Banxue is being sent out of the city for quarantine. If you don't go with her, I'm afraid there will be no chance to cure Tai Banxue's plague!"
The room was originally very quiet, but after he finished speaking, the person in the room quickly opened the door.
Xiao Chuer wore a veil that covered her face, leaving only her eyes exposed. She had a medicine box slung over her shoulder, and it was obvious that she was going out.
Zou Yangyao stood beside her and said worriedly, "There's no need to be so anxious. Have a meal first, and then I'll arrange for a few servants to accompany you out of the city."
Xiao Chu'er shook her head, then avoided Zou Yangyao and wanted to walk out, but Zou Yangyao grabbed her shoulders, forcing Xiao Chu'er to stop.
Zou Yangyao looked at Xiao Chuer steadily: "If you really have the plague, then infect me too!"
Xiao Chuer seemed to have heard something surprising, and looked up at Zou Yangyao, who just leaned over and pressed his lips against hers.
Xiao Chuer stared, obviously very surprised.
Then he pushed Zou Yangyao hard. Zou Yangyao didn't care whether Xiao Chuer resisted him or not. He announced with great pride: "Okay, I just kissed you. I believe that if you really have the plague, I can't escape it."
Xiao Chuer's face was serious: "You are crazy!"
The voice was a little weak, and the roar was not loud, but it was full of anger.
Zou Yangyao narrowed his eyes and walked towards her step by step. He reached out to take off Xiao Chuer's veil.
Xiao Chu'er took two steps back and said, "Don't come near me, I'm really feeling unwell!"
Zou Yangyao's expression changed, and he hurried out: "I'll go find a doctor for you!"
Xiao Chu'er immediately stopped him, saying, "Don't, don't go. Although I haven't found the correct prescription for this plague yet, I do know a little about it. I know how difficult it is to cure!"
"I gave Tai Banxue the Tiger and Wolf Medicine, but she didn't get any better, so I prescribed another medicine!"
Zou Yangyao frowned tightly, vaguely feeling that the medicine Xiao Chuer mentioned was not a good medicine.
"Did you drink it?" Zou Yangyao stood in front of Xiao Chuer, his face looking a little shocked and painful.
Xiao Chu'er didn't think of hiding it and nodded heavily: "Yes! I drank it! Don't get close to me during this time, and the servants should stay away from me."
"As for Tai Banxue, we can only wait and see how my physical symptoms develop after today. If I feel better, it means it's effective, and I can give her the medicine!"
Afterwards, Xiao Chuer looked at Zou Yangyao solemnly: "Go to Tai Mansion and keep Miss Tai for one more day!"
Xiao Chuer's eyes revealed outside the veil were full of hope. Zou Yangyao frowned tightly. Although he was worried about Xiao Chuer, the most important thing now was to go and keep Tai Banxue.
Zou Yangyao turned and left. Xiao Chuer was trying hard to hold on, but after he left, she collapsed to the ground with her legs weak.
The servants hurried forward, and Xiao Chuer immediately roared, "Get out of here!"
Then he bravely got up and walked towards the bedroom.
Zou Yangyao arrived at the Shangshu Mansion and told Xiao Chuer about his request. Shangshu Tai found it very strange. How could there be such a mandatory request to treat his granddaughter?
"General Zou, if you didn't come to Tai Mansion, I would really have to go look for you!" Minister Tai's expression was serious, and it was obvious that he was going to talk about something serious.
Zou Yangyao did not resist and nodded.
The two sat down in the pavilion in the courtyard. Minister Tai asked, "General Zou, I won't ask the truth about why you saved Banxue, but I have something I must explain to you!"
