Su Peisheng picked up the bowl of white porridge on the table, scooped up a spoonful, and gently blew on it twice.
"No, this servant hid the young master this morning to avoid any unnecessary trouble from being discovered."
"The little master is sleeping soundly under your bed now, it's very safe."
Fourth Prince Yinzhen swallowed the porridge in his mouth and breathed a sigh of relief. He had thought that Duofu had been discovered and dealt with by his father.
In the current situation, he can't even protect himself, let alone Duofu if something unexpected happens.
If there is even the slightest possibility of infection, his imperial father will definitely eliminate it completely.
"Have Mother and Father come to see Master?"
Su Peisheng paused in the speed at which he was feeding the porridge, carefully considering the words he would use.
"His Majesty has ordered the inner palace to be sealed off, and the empresses cannot leave."
"His Majesty has to attend the morning court session this morning, so he might come to the Prince's residence to see you later."
"Grandpa, you need to take your medicine properly and try to get better soon."
Su Peisheng was also unsure whether His Majesty would be willing to come to the Prince's residence, where smallpox was now highly contagious.
Even if the Emperor were willing to come, he would probably only ask the imperial physicians about the situation from outside.
It's impossible for him to come to the room in person.
Su Peisheng thought for a moment, and then his master fell into a deep sleep after taking the medicine.
When he woke up again, he tactfully told his master.
His Majesty has personally visited you and instructed you to take your medicine properly and recover soon.
"Su Peisheng, bring Duoduo out so I can take a look. Otherwise, it will feel like I'm dreaming."
Su Peisheng, holding the porridge, saw that the person had already drunk more than half a bowl and urged them to stop.
"Once you finish these few mouthfuls of porridge, I will carry the young master out."
Fourth Prince Yinzhen nodded, his flushed face looking somewhat better.
"Then you should feed him first."
After saying that, the Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, opened his mouth and waited to be fed.
Su Peisheng didn't hesitate and continued to feed the little bit of white porridge at a steady pace.
He put down the bowl in his hand, knelt down on the ground, and took out Duofu, who was stuffed inside.
When the Fourth Prince Yinzhen saw Duofu, his eyes lit up.
"Just leave it on the bed for a while, then hide it later."
Duofu remained asleep with his eyes closed; he had gone to bed too late last night and couldn't get up at all.
He had never gotten up in the morning before, and now he's even less likely to.
The Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, felt very sorry for the gray and white fur.
There's no way to give Duofu a bath right now, especially with those four little pig-hoof-like paws.
It cannot be exposed to water.
After drinking the congee, the Fourth Prince Yinzhen regained some strength and managed to sit up and drink his medicine.
After drinking the medicine, he was covered in sweat. With slightly blurred vision, the Fourth Prince Yinzhen watched as Duofu's belly swelled and contracted with each breath.
As he watched, coupled with the sedative effect of the medicine, the Fourth Prince Yinzhen fell into a deep sleep again.
Now Su Peisheng has experience and is mentally prepared for the Fourth Prince Yinzhen to faint.
This medicine will make you sleepy. As long as you stay asleep and the temperature doesn't get too high, you'll be fine.
Duofu opened his eyes and saw that it was pitch black, thinking that it was still dark.
Little did he know that he slept until nightfall, and when he moved his body, he felt that the ground was a bit hard.
Why did he end up sleeping on the floor again? No wonder he felt uncomfortable all over.
Duofu moved his mismatched paws with difficulty, like a puppy learning to walk, wobbling three times with each step, especially his chubby little butt jiggling.
When Duofu finally crawled out from under the bed, the room was empty except for the fourth prince, Yinzhen, who was lying unconscious on the bed.
The Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, woke up once in the morning, took some medicine, and then fell asleep again. He woke up again at noon, and Su Peisheng fed him medicine and porridge again. He remained unconscious until evening and had not yet woken up.
Not long after Duofu crawled out from under the bed, Su Peisheng came in carrying a tray.
On the tray were a bowl of Chinese medicine and two bowls of porridge, along with a pot of hot water.
There was nothing else.
Duofu looked at the two bowls of porridge and wondered if he would just drink one bowl of porridge that night.
Su Peisheng saw that Duofu had woken up and waved.
"My lord, come and eat quickly. You must be starving after not eating all day."
Su Peisheng placed a bowl of porridge on the table and then casually pulled Duofu off the ground and onto the table as well.
"Here, all we can drink is plain porridge, and a little bit of pastry that the servants secretly took from the small kitchen."
Su Peisheng carefully took out a paper package from his pocket, which contained four cherry-sized pastries.
"This is what I plan to eat if I get hungry tonight."
Duofu looked at the bowl of white porridge and four pieces of pastry that he didn't know what they were, but he didn't find them disgusting. He buried himself in his food and started eating.
It's good enough that you can open your eyes; now is not the time to complain.
When the Fourth Prince Yinzhen recovers, there will be nothing he wants to eat.
Duofu is very understanding; this is what they mean by "a wise man knows when to yield."
In this situation, it's good enough that he has anything to eat.
Duofu originally planned to wait until he woke up and then fend for himself by going outside to find a kitchen and food.
Looking at how difficult it is for me to walk, and with the white porridge I can drink, I won't starve. At worst, I can just treat it as a way to lose weight.
Duofu took two big gulps and finished the small bowl of porridge, then checked his stomach.
It felt like he hadn't eaten anything, but luckily there were still four pieces of pastry left. Duofu ate them one by one, wolfing them down.
"Woof woof woof." Su Peisheng, since you offered me these pastries, I'll definitely come to your aid next time you need me.
In a few breaths, they finished eating, and Su Peisheng poured a glass of water into the empty bowl.
"Drink another bowl of water, and you should be full."
Duofu looked down, said nothing, and started drinking.
"Woof woof woof." Su Peisheng, I didn't realize you were so smart.
Duofu drank a lot of water and felt full, finally no longer hungry.
"Woof woof woof woof." Little dumpling, how are you today? Are you up yet? Are you feeling any better today?
"Woof woof woof." Is that other bowl of porridge for Little Baozi? He's already showing signs of wanting to drink, so it seems things aren't too bad.
"Woof woof woof." I knew it! Little Baozi is going to be an emperor someday, how could he die so young?
"Woof woof woof." I remember his younger brother, the Sixth Prince, would die young, perhaps from this bout of smallpox.
"Woof woof woof woof." If that's the case, then there's no need to worry too much; the Fourth Prince will definitely pull through.
Su Peisheng didn't sleep all day yesterday, but he's in pretty good spirits today.
He heard from the imperial physician that afternoon that as long as he could get through the most severe first week, there was a high chance of a full recovery.
You might get pimples tomorrow or the day after; that's normal.
In particular, they were instructed to be careful at all times so that their masters wouldn't scratch their faces.
Smallpox is incredibly itchy, and if you can't control it, you'll need someone to hold your hand down.
