Chapter 163 Pneumonia
"This seems a bit against the rules." Wei Xiaoran said.
Underage princesses and princes are not allowed to leave the palace and live separately. If the emperor changes the rules and the news gets out, people who know about it will not say anything, but people who don't know about it will gossip.
It is said that the emperor is narrow-minded and cannot tolerate even his younger brothers and sisters.
After hearing what Wei Xiaoran said, Lin Shuo shut up. He was still too naive and thought about things too one-sidedly.
Soon the carriage came to a stop and we had arrived at the palace.
As soon as the emperor saw Lin Qian, he immediately took her to see the Seventh Princess and the Eighth Prince.
The two concubines were like tearful people at this time, with tears constantly falling down. They looked at their children and felt so sad.
"My two concubines, this is Miss Lin, also known as the Divine Doctor Lin. I'm sure you've heard of her name. With her around, my seventh sister and eighth brother will be fine." The emperor felt a headache coming from the crying of the two concubines, so he quickly introduced Lin Qian to them.
Now, the two concubines began to pull Lin Qian and cry, begging Miss Lin to save their children.
Lin Qian nodded in agreement, then without hesitation pushed away the two concubines who were entangled with her and went to see the two children.
The two children's faces were flushed red, their breathing was rapid, and the sound of phlegm in their throats could be clearly heard.
Lin Qian frowned and tore open the eighth prince's shirt, put her face close to his chest and listened, and sure enough, she could hear noises coming from his lungs.
It seems that the two children had a fever not only because they caught a cold, but they also drank a lot of dirty water from Taiye Lake, which caused lung inflammation.
"Where is the prescription written by the Imperial Physician?" After making up her mind, Lin Qian stood up and asked the two concubines.
Soon the prescription was delivered to Lin Qian. After taking a look at it, Lin Qian picked up the brush and added a few more herbs to the original prescription.
"Go get the medicine according to this prescription, boil it quickly and send it over." Lin Qian handed the prescription to a palace maid and said.
The Emperor asked, "Can those few herbs alone cure their colds?"
Lin Qian nodded. "Alright, it's not suitable for too many people to stay here. You all should disperse. Put out the stove and open the windows."
Their illness cannot be cured by simply covering them up. You need to open the windows to ventilate them and let them breathe some fresh air. That way they will recover faster."
When the emperor heard that Lin Qian wanted to drive people away, he didn't say anything and just pulled Wei Xiaoran and Lin Shuo away.
The two concubines had never heard of this method that Lin Qian mentioned. In their understanding, as long as it was a cold, one should not be exposed to the cold, otherwise it would get worse.
The concubine in lavender palace dress frowned immediately when she heard Lin Qian's order. Just as she was about to say something, the concubine in blue palace dress next to her pulled her and signaled her not to speak.
Lin Qian saw what they were doing, but she didn't explain anything. The medicine was quickly boiled, and the two concubines fed it to their children.
After seeing the two of them finish feeding the medicine, Lin Qian said, "The two concubines must be tired. I will stay here and watch over them. You two should go and rest first. I will call you as soon as the Seventh Princess and the Eighth Prince feel better."
The two had been worried and frightened for several days and were really tired at this time. Seeing that the two children slept much more soundly after drinking the medicine, the two concubines nodded and went to rest next door.
As soon as the two concubines left, Lin Qian sent the palace maids out as well. While no one was around, she fed the Seventh Princess and the Eighth Prince cold spring water.
About an hour later, when Emperor Wei Xiaoran and Lin Shuo came to Xiefang Palace again, the fever of the Seventh Princess and the Eighth Prince had subsided.
"You're the best. I don't know what those quack doctors in the Imperial Hospital are for. They can't even cure a cold.
"Qianqian, it would be so great if you weren't Wei Xiaoran's wife. I would definitely make you the head of the Imperial Hospital, the first female head since ancient times. Don't you want to create a miracle?" The emperor praised Lin Qian.
The two concubines also got up when they heard the noise. When they saw that the two children's fever had subsided, they echoed the emperor and praised Lin Qian.
Little did she know that Wei Xiaoran had already glared at the emperor with a death glare. What did he mean? Digging up her wife in front of him?
Lin Qian said without even looking up, "I refuse. I don't want to. Thank you! By the way, the two concubines, the Seventh Princess and the Eighth Prince are no longer seriously injured, but they can't stop taking this medicine. They have to drink it for at least ten days."
The two concubines held the children and nodded continuously.
The emperor seemed to want to say something, but Wei Xiaoran, who was standing behind him, suddenly rushed over and knocked the emperor aside.
"Wife, it's getting dark. We should go home. Mother will be worried if we don't go back." Wei Xiaoran grabbed Lin Qian with one hand and Lin Shuo with the other. Before the emperor could speak, the three of them disappeared in a flash.
The emperor stamped his feet in anger.
"How was your conversation with the emperor?" After getting on the carriage, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief. Lin Qian asked Lin Shuo and Wei Xiaoran.
Lin Shuo said, "The Emperor said this ten-repeated crossbow is very powerful. He asked for the design drawings and said he wanted to mass-produce it. He also rewarded me with a hundred acres of fertile land and a thousand taels of gold."
As the richest royal family in history, the emperor was never stingy with money when it came to rewards.
"The Emperor also said that if things go well, during the hunting trip to Mulan Paddock in May, a team of men will be sent out with ten-repeater crossbows so that all the civil and military officials can witness their power."
Lin Qian was very interested in Mulan Paddock. She was also quite skilled in archery. She turned to Wei Xiaoran and asked, "Mulan Paddock, can I go too?"
"Do you want to go?" Wei Xiaoran asked back.
Lin Qian nodded repeatedly: "Yes, of course I do."
Wei Xiaoran smiled: "You can go wherever you want."
Lin Shuo, who was sitting on the side listening, rolled his eyes to the sky. The emperor had clearly said that all the ministers should bring their families to participate in the hunting at Mulan Hunting Ground.
But when Wei Xiaoran said that even if her sister wanted to go, he would do whatever it took to let Lin Qian go.
We walked in silence all the way and soon arrived home.
Lin Shuo returned to the Lin Mansion, and the young couple went straight home.
After the two of them had dinner with Zhang Yufang, they went back to their room to rest. Lin Qian was sitting at the dressing table combing her hair when she suddenly turned to look at Wei Xiaoran and asked, "Are you free tomorrow?"
Wei Xiaoran nodded and said, "When you have time, do you want to go see Uncle Meng?" Tomorrow is Qingming Festival, and Lin Qian wants to go to Duyun Peak to sweep Meng Yi's grave.
Also, the school built at the foot of Duyun Peak should be almost completed. Lin Qian also wants to go and take a look. If it is almost done, she will start recruiting students.
The more than one hundred palace maids who were released have completed the first phase of training, and Lin Qian handed them over to Lin Wu a few days ago.
Lin Wu took them to the military camp to experience the atmosphere and train their physical fitness. Once their physical fitness reached the standard, these more than 100 female military doctors would officially go to the border.
