Chapter 238, Worry
Wangyue Academy.
After reading the letter from home, Yan Wenxiu was silent for a moment, then said to Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao, "Grandma and the others are very worried about us."
Yan Wenkai quickly asked, "You wouldn't disagree with us going, would you?"
Yan Wenxiu shook his head. "Not really, but he did tell us to be extra careful, and Father even sent a few of our guards over here."
Although his father did not say it explicitly, he understood that even if he followed the little prince, the little prince would have guards around him. However, if they encountered danger, those guards would only withdraw their help after confirming the little prince's safety.
But by then, the best opportunity for rescue might have been missed, so she could not completely rely on the little prince for her own safety.
The last time we went to Fenxi, Brother Dong and his friends brought a lot of their own people with them.
Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao looked at each other silently.
Although my father (uncle) rarely jokes with them at home, he still cares about them very much.
"Hey, what is this?"
Yan Wenkai pointed at the bag in Qin Yong's hand.
Qin Yong was the team leader for this outing. Originally, Yan Zhigao wanted Qin Wu to come, but he also had a lot of things to do, so he finally let Qin Yong come.
Qin Yong took down the bundle and said, "These are some common medicines that the eldest lady prepared for the three masters. She also said that if the young prince and the others need them, you can give them some as appropriate."
Yan Wenkai flipped through it and said with a smile, "Big sister is so thoughtful. I didn't even think about preparing medicine."
Yan Wenxiu also smiled. The last time they went to Fenxi, they didn't prepare anything. All the food and supplies on the road were from the little prince.
This time, they were prepared and didn't have to trouble the young prince anymore.
"Let's go and tell the young prince. I estimate we'll be leaving in the next two days."
Yan Mansion.
After entering July, it didn't rain again, but it became hotter and hotter.
Such weather made the rice flowers look a little worried.
"What are you sighing about?"
Zhou Jingwan walked into Daohuaxuan with her maid. The weather had been very hot recently, making people feel irritable. Only by eating a few bites of watermelon and grapes could she relieve the heat in her heart.
Her favorites are the watermelons and grapes in Daohua.
Strangely enough, her family also planted watermelons and grapes, but she just felt that they were not as delicious as those in Daohua.
Seeing that it was Zhou Jingwan, Daohua smiled at Guyu and said, "Didn't you see Miss Zhou is here? Why don't you quickly get a watermelon to cool it down?"
At this time, Zhou Jingwan had walked up to Daohua and shook her arm: "You still understand me."
Seeing sweat on her forehead, Daohua shook her head and said, "It's such a hot day, thank goodness you didn't bother to run. If you want to eat the watermelons here, bring some back this time."
Zhou Jingwan fanned herself with a round fan and said, "It's good to go out for a walk. I'm getting bored staying cooped up in the house all the time. Oh, by the way, I saw you sighing just now. Are you worried about Brother Yan and the others?"
Daohua nodded and said, "Brother and the others have been in Jiguang for over half a month. I don't know when they will be back."
Zhou Jingwan was quite open-minded and said with a smile, "They will come back naturally when it's time. Anyway, didn't they say in their last letter that everything was fine after arriving in Jiguang? What do you have to worry about?"
Daohua shook her head, glanced at the scorching sun overhead, and said worriedly, "Didn't a lot of people drown when the Jiguang dike burst? It's so hot now. If the bodies aren't properly handled, I'm worried there'll be a plague."
Zhou Jingwan was stunned for a moment, then she stood up with a bang, her eyes wide open as she screamed, "Plague?! Are you sure?"
Seeing her yelling so loudly, Daohua immediately stood up and pulled her to sit down: "Don't yell, I'm just making a random guess!"
Zhou Jingwan breathed a sigh of relief, but she still patted her chest in fear: "You scared me to death. If there is a plague in Jiguang, then our brothers will be..."
At this point, Zhou Jingwan paused and said a few times, "Pooh, pooh, pooh." "Of course not. There will definitely not be a plague."
Daohua grabbed her hand, patted it and said soothingly: "I just said that, look how scared you are."
Zhou Jingwan: "How can I not be afraid? I've heard from the old people in the mansion that if a plague really breaks out in a place, people will die in every city."
Daohua's heart tightened, and she couldn't help swallowing: "What you said makes me scared too."
At this time, Guyu came with the cut watermelon.
Daohua quickly diverted her attention: "Let's eat watermelon."
Zhou Jingwan nodded, took the wet handkerchief that Lixia brought and wiped it twice, then picked up the watermelon and started eating.
The two girls ate in silence, neither of them spoke. Obviously, what had just been said made them feel a little uneasy, and there was worry on their faces.
Jiguang Province, Xingyun Prefecture.
"Brother, are you okay?"
Looking at Yan Wenxiu who was exhausted from diarrhea, Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao looked anxious.
The young prince has already sent the imperial physician to see him, and he has taken several doses of medicine, but unfortunately it has no effect at all.
Yan Wenxiu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I used to focus on studying and didn't take good care of my body. These two times have made me realize how important a good body is."
He wanted to sigh a few more times, but Yan Wenxiu felt his stomach churning again. He immediately gritted his teeth and walked tremblingly towards the toilet with the support of his servant Qin Shisan.
Seeing him like this, Yan Wenkai was so anxious that he grabbed his head and scratched around.
Qin Yong frowned and said, "Third Master, Fourth Master, I can't keep pulling like this. I'll be completely broken."
Yan Wenkai said irritably, "I know it won't work, but even the imperial physician can't fix it. What do you want me to do?" He pounded his hands together and said, "When we were little, I should have taken my brother out to exercise. Look how weak he is now."
Yan Wentao, who was standing by, suddenly thought of something and quickly ran back to the house. Then he ran out with a package: "Let's try the medicine that my elder sister prepared for us."
Yan Wenkai's eyes lit up, then quickly dimmed again: "The medicine that my elder sister prepared must have been bought at the pharmacy. How could it be more effective than what the imperial physician prescribed?"
Yan Wentao ignored him and quickly opened the package. After searching for a while, he found a porcelain bottle labeled "Anti-diarrhea Medicine." "This should be for diarrhea. I'll feed it to my brother when he comes out later."
Yan Wenkai was at his wit's end and could only try his luck. After all, the medicine his elder sister had prepared for them would at most not cure the disease but would not harm them.
Soon, the toilet door opened.
This time, Yan Wenxiu couldn't even stand up straight, his face was extremely pale, and he was carried out by Qin Shisan the entire time.
Seeing this, Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao's expressions changed, and then they hurried over, one feeding medicine and the other feeding water, and without saying anything, they fed the medicine to Yan Wenxiu.
