...
In a daze, Duofu thought he heard the weak voice of the Fourth Prince, Yinzhen.
"Su Peisheng, sir... what's wrong? I feel weak all over... and my mouth tastes awful..."
Su Peisheng, who was watching the Fourth Prince closely, immediately burst into tears.
"Your Highness, you have contracted smallpox and are currently isolated in the Prince's Quarters for treatment. This servant just gave you the medicine."
"smallpox…"
The Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, didn't know what smallpox was. He only knew that it was a very serious infectious disease that could kill people.
He muttered to himself.
Will I die?
Su Peisheng quickly wiped away his tears, his tone firm.
"Of course not. Grandpa just took his medicine and woke up. As long as he takes his medicine properly, he'll definitely get better."
Duofu, who was under the bed, was certain that the Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, had indeed woken up.
Baba crawled out of the bed.
"Woof woof woof woof." Little dumpling, little dumpling, you're awake. How are you feeling?
"Woof woof." Could it be that the smallpox vaccine worked so quickly?
The Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, said somewhat uncertainly.
"Su Peisheng, I heard Duofu call out. Could it be that I'm hallucinating so quickly?"
Su Peisheng looked at the black ball of a creature that had crawled out from under the bed, somewhat uncertain, until he heard the familiar barking of a dog.
Only then did Su Peisheng dare to confirm that it was indeed Duofu, who had probably sneaked in while he was out boiling medicine.
Now, besides him, only the imperial physicians would enter this room.
The other lackeys, who are driven by self-interest and avoidance of harm, would not dare to approach at this time, lest they lose their lives.
Su Peisheng dared to stay and serve for two main reasons.
He was a eunuch serving the Fourth Prince. After the Fourth Prince died, he didn't have a good life either.
He had smallpox when he was a child, so he's not afraid of getting infected now. He's heard that people who have had smallpox don't get it a second time.
Su Peisheng knew the power of smallpox. He was the only one who survived in his entire village. When he could no longer survive, he sold himself into the palace to become a eunuch.
He thought that he had survived when he had no one and no medicine, and now that the Fourth Prince had imperial physicians and medicine, there was definitely hope that he could survive.
