Lin Zan looked at Liu Qiuchan in front of him in disbelief, and finally believed that all this was true. He sat up with difficulty and spoke in a weak voice.
"Sister, why are you here? You are the current queen. What if you are infected with smallpox?"
Seeing that Lin Zhan was still thinking about her at this point, Liu Qiuchan was very moved. She reached out and stroked her soft hair and said, "Silly girl, don't talk about this now. Sister is here to take care of you voluntarily."
"The Emperor has agreed not to send you out of the palace, but to keep you in the palace for treatment. However, no one in Hanfang Pavilion is allowed to enter or leave at will."
Liu Qiuchan told Lin Zan the emperor's decision in a few words.
This matter was also within Lin Zhan's prediction. She frowned slightly and said with a cough, "Then even you can't go out, sister, why are you so stupid?"
"I don't think I'm stupid. How could I not come when my sister is in trouble? Besides, I believe that my sister will not die so easily, right?" Liu Qiuchan smiled slightly, and her words were full of trust in Lin Zan.
Lin Zhan was naturally deeply moved. Although she knew that smallpox was difficult to treat, there were ways to treat it.
Besides, the one who treated her was her own master, Lord Yuan Zheng. If her guess was correct, Lord Yuan Zheng was most likely the medical genius who had disappeared from the world for a long time.
When he thought of this, Lin Zhan's heart calmed down for a moment. He always felt that his life would not end with smallpox.
But what she didn't know was that at this moment in a dark room in the Imperial Hospital, the director looked at the woman in front of him with a serious face and said, "I did something to let Lin Zan down last time, and I will never do it again this time."
"Haha, since you've already done it once, what are you pretending to be, Lord Yuanzheng? You have to do it the second time even if you don't want to, otherwise I won't guarantee Miss Yueying's life."
The woman in the darkness slowly revealed her face, and it turned out to be Concubine Qin.
The director's face became increasingly uglier, with a conflicted and extremely complicated expression on his face.
"Although Lord Yuanzheng has unparalleled medical skills, smallpox is an incurable disease. It is normal for one or two people to die. Lord Yuanzheng does not need to feel so guilty. After all, this is human nature." After saying this, Concubine Qin turned and left.
Yuan Zheng, who was standing in the dark room, clenched his fists tightly, and finally sighed heavily, muttering, "Lin Zan, I am sorry for you."
At this moment, in Hanfang Pavilion, Lin Zan's symptoms became more and more serious. He was in a coma half of the day, and even when he woke up, his mind was confused.
With Liu Qiuchan in charge of Hanfang Pavilion, people in the palace did not dare to treat Hanfang Pavilion badly. They sent the best medicines to Hanfang Pavilion to save Lin Zan's life.
Three days later, Lin Zhan finally realized something was wrong. After drinking the Chinese medicine today, he frowned and said to Liu Qiuchan, "Sister, I don't know why my body is getting heavier day by day, and the time I am conscious is getting shorter and shorter. I feel something is wrong."
"What does Zan'er mean by this? Is there something wrong? Tell your sister and I will check it out right away." Liu Qiuchan said to Lin Zan anxiously.
Lin Zhan's hidden gaze fell on the bowl of medicine, and Liu Qiuchan's face was shocked, a little unbelievable. She was about to say something but was stopped by Lin Zhan's eyes.
After falling ill, Lin Zan completely lost his childlike innocence. Instead, he grew up a lot in an instant, making Liu Qiuchan feel as if she was facing not a child, but an adult.
When only Lin Zhan and Liu Qiuchan were left in the room, Lin Zhan said, "Master's medical skills are extremely high. Logically speaking, I have been drinking medicine for such a long time, so it is impossible that my body has not improved at all."
"If the master's medicine was not replaced by someone else, then the master has no way to cure my smallpox."
Lin Zhan said this with absolute certainty, which made Liu Qiuchan beside him gasp and said in disbelief, "Master Yuanzheng is your master, and he has always taught you everything he knows. I believe he will do his best to save you. It is possible that Master Yuanzheng's medicine has been replaced by someone else. I will go check it out now."
Hearing her words, Lin Zan nodded slightly. Her first reaction was that the medicine prescribed by her master might have been replaced by someone else.
Liu Qiucan asked someone she trusted to investigate whether the medicine prescribed by the hospital director for Lin Zan had been replaced by someone else. It was not until the evening of the next day that Dongxiang hurriedly entered the room and gently shook her head at the two of them.
"Your Majesty, I have been keeping an eye on the person who delivered the medicine these days, and I found that the medicine has not been replaced by anyone else." Dong Xiang's words made Lin Zan's heart sink to the bottom of the sea in an instant.
Since the medicine has not been replaced by others, there is only one last possibility left, that is, Lord Yuanzheng is unable to cure Lin Zhan's smallpox.
Liu Qiuchan naturally thought of this, waved her hand to let Dongxiang go, and then said to Lin Zhan to comfort her. "Zhan'er, you must hold on to hope. I believe the dean will find a way."
"Don't worry, sister. I won't give up on myself." Lin Zan said after taking a deep breath.
Until now, Lin Zan has never doubted that her master deliberately did not save her. She was trying hard to think about the treatment plan for smallpox in her mind.
Finally, Lin Zhan whispered a prescription into Liu Qiuchan's ear. "Is this really okay? What if it doesn't work if we secretly treat him without telling the Dean?"
Liu Qiuchan was still a little hesitant, but Lin Zhan's eyes flashed with determination. "Sister, you have to believe me. I will never harm myself. In this palace, the only person I can trust is you."
After she finished speaking, Liu Qiuchan nodded, and asked Dongxiang to leave secretly in the middle of the night to go outside the palace to purchase the medicinal materials that Linzhan needed.
The next morning, Dongxiang hurried back to Hanfang Pavilion covered in morning dew. Liu Qiuchan took the medicine bag from her and asked nervously, "Did anyone see you?"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I was very cautious on the way out of the palace, and no one noticed me when I returned." Dong Xiang said seriously.
Liu Qiuchan nodded and asked Dongxiang to boil the medicine. Now Lin Zan had entered the stage of rash, so she gave herself Shengma Gegen Decoction to eliminate the high fever symptoms in the body.
But on the surface, Lin Zan still pretended to drink the medicine prescribed by the director every day, but after everyone else left, he slowly spit out the medicine in his mouth and instead drank the medicine he prescribed.
