He turned his head and looked into the house, and was immediately terrified.
"Fourth Prince, how did you get in here!" The shrill voice immediately jolted the Fourth Prince, who was in a very delirious state inside the room, awake.
With somewhat cloudy eyes, I saw a small figure in a blue shirt that looked very familiar.
Blinking, Fourth Master suddenly raised his head slightly with great effort, panting, and squeezed out a few words with great difficulty, "You, you get out!"
"No, my son went through a lot of trouble to break through a huge encirclement and blockade."
Fourth Master wanted to say something more, but he couldn't hold on any longer, and his head suddenly fell back onto the headboard.
Seeing how much effort he was putting in, and noticing his sallow complexion, somewhat cloudy eyes, chapped lips, and the unpleasant smell in the room, Hongxuan couldn't help but fill her eyes with tears.
Su Peisheng also realized what was happening and rushed over, trying to get Hongxuan to leave.
With tears in her eyes, Hongxuan said, "Since we're already in here, Su Anda, even if you let me leave, those who are going to get infected will still get infected. Besides, how can I leave with Father like this? I want to stay and take care of Father, so please don't stop me."
Su Peisheng dared not make the decision himself; he only obeyed his master's orders. "You haven't been in direct contact with me, so the chances of you getting infected are lower if you go out now. Just listen to your servant and go out quickly!" As he spoke, he tried to grab Hongxuan's clothes to make him leave.
Hongxuan took a step to the side, dodging Su Peisheng's outstretched hand, and then rushed towards the Fourth Master lying on the bed, embracing him without any hesitation.
Su Peisheng stiffened, and the Fourth Master was also shocked.
She heard Hongxuan's voice in her ear, "I've already come into contact with Ama in this way, which is the most likely way to infect him, so whether I go out or not, it's all the same. Just let me stay!"
Fourth Master couldn't help but close his eyes, his eyes welling up with tears. At the same time, his heart felt warm and cozy, yet he felt no discomfort whatsoever.
"Sigh!" Fourth Master sighed, opened his eyes, and nodded at Su Peisheng.
Su Peisheng understood his meaning and made no further move, simply standing aside and watching.
After Hongxuan stayed behind, he familiarized himself with the process of taking care of his father. Then he arranged a schedule with Su Peisheng. He kept an eye on things during the day, while Su Peisheng kept an eye on things at night. As usual, Zhang Bao and Wang Chaoqing, the two people who were most valued by the master besides Su Peisheng, kept an eye on things outside.
One focused mainly on decocting the medicine, while the other focused mainly on the food.
With Hongxuan's help in taking care of him, Su Peisheng felt much more relaxed and energetic, and was able to take better care of the Fourth Master.
As for the Fourth Master, on the one hand, he was moved by his son's filial piety and kindness, on the other hand, he was very worried that the child would be infected. Another aspect was his will to survive, which was strengthened by Hongxuan's arrival and the method he suggested.
Both Hongxuan and Fourth Master had cultivated the Shangqing Scripture, and only he, Hongxuan, and Hongjing (Third Brother) were able to successfully cultivate it.
The Shangqing Jing itself has the effect of improving the body.
Now that you're practicing on him, it should have some effect.
However, Fourth Master suffered from a splitting headache and was often in a daze, unable to muster the energy to practice his martial arts.
This is where Hongxuan comes in.
He placed his hand on Fourth Master's back and used the Qi from the Shangqing Scripture he had cultivated to stimulate the Qi within Fourth Master's body.
At first, things didn't go smoothly, but as Hongxuan tried again and again, although he still didn't succeed, it seemed to have some effect on the Fourth Master.
Therefore, Hongxuan refused to give up. As time passed, although people outside were occasionally infected with the plague, Su Peisheng, who was taking care of him, and his fourth prince, Xuan'er, were doing well inside the house!
Moreover, Hongxuan is so strong and determined, and acts logically and decisively, which makes people feel at ease. This made him the backbone of this isolated courtyard.
With the leader firmly in charge, everyone's hearts gradually calmed down, and even though some people still contracted the plague, the panic did not spread.
Because they discovered that fewer and fewer people were recently contracting the epidemic.
Previously, there were several a day, but now it's only one every two or three days.
The situation is improving. This is the situation outside. Here at Fourth Master's place, besides wiping Fourth Master's body, Hongxuan also feeds him medicine and food. In addition to these, he also talks to Fourth Master to stimulate the Qi in his body. He can stimulate as much as he can, as long as it has some effect.
Even the smallest effects, when combined, gradually increase. I believe that Amma will get better.
Because of the epidemic, the Fourth Prince was always in a daze, but when he heard Hongxuan's voice, he felt very at ease.
And so, day after day passed, and Fourth Master began to regain consciousness for short periods of time.
As soon as the Fourth Prince's condition improved, Emperor Kangxi quickly learned the news and his sullen face was no longer somber.
Day after day, Kangxi received news that his fourth son, Yinzhen, was gradually improving, and the imperial physicians said that Prince Yong's full recovery was just around the corner.
Now he was completely relieved.
When the Fourth Prince was almost fully recovered, the Yong Prince's Mansion received the news. Of course, news of Hongxuan rushing in to attend to the Fourth Prince was also relayed back.
Jiaming was stunned, or as others would say, completely terrified. After all, it was a plague; men and children had perished. Anyone would be worried in that situation.
In reality, she simply hadn't expected that her master would contract the plague. Of course, Jiaming didn't bother to explain; let the misunderstanding remain!
Upon receiving the news, before the Fujin could even arrange for someone to attend to the sick, Jiaming and Li Shi spoke up almost simultaneously: "Fujin, I'll go!"
The two exchanged a glance, and Li's eyes flashed with anxiety. Jiaming felt puzzled, and then she heard Li's urgent voice in her ear, "Fujin, let me go! You need to take care of the sick eldest prince, and Consort Guarjia needs to manage the household. I am the most suitable person to go."
Jiaming: "..." Why is she being so eager?
Madam Li continued, "Besides, the Fourth Prince has also gone to attend to the Master's illness. If something were to happen to him, with the Master on one side and the child on the other, he would be distracted and unable to take good care of either. So, I'll go instead!"
Jiaming remained silent, as if Hongxuan would definitely be infected with the plague.
Ke Jiaming believed that Hongxuan would not be infected, but the Fujin did not think so. In the previous life, the prince contracted the plague a few years earlier than in this life, and of those who took care of him at that time, not one in ten survived.
Therefore, she had seriously considered what Li said, and it really made sense.
But is it really okay to let Li go? After all, it would increase Li's favorability in the master's heart.
In her previous life, Niohuru was the Consort Xi because she served the prince well when he contracted the plague. However, after the fourth prince ascended the throne, she was only the Consort Yu, while Geng, who was also a princess and had given birth to a prince, was only the Consort Yu.
Even Li, who had given birth to three sons and one daughter, was only a secondary consort, yet Niohuru was treated as her equal.
So, should the credit for caring for the sick be given to Lady Li?
