He Yue knew that the child was too young and had a low immune system, and that using medication might not be good. After a moment of thought, she asked, "Would alcohol be a good way to reduce the fever?"

He Yue remained expressionless and directly ordered, "Pour the water on her!"
Wusu's eyes widened, and she hurriedly backed away in fright: "No, no, Madam, please spare this servant, this servant is truly innocent!"
