Chapter 124: Vaccination, the Princess's Medicine Has a Problem
"Why do you say that, Mammy?"
Hearing Beigong You's suspicious voice, Yuzhu's heart instantly rose, and she looked at Nanny Zhang nervously.
Did she know the princess's secret?
"Your Highness, I think the princess's symptoms are like a fever caused by a cold, and this medicine is used to treat wind-heat. If the princess takes it, I'm afraid it will have a counterproductive effect." said Nanny Zhang.
Beigong You lowered his eyes and glanced at the black medicine in his hand.
"For the princess's safety, I think this medicine cannot be taken." Nanny Zhang took the medicine bowl and handed it to Yuzhu, motioning her to pour it out in the yard. "As for the princess's high fever, I have a way. Your Majesty, please rest assured and leave the princess to me."
"Your Highness has been on guard all night, go and rest." Yuzhu advised.
Nanny Zhang looked back and noticed that Beigong You had a dark spot under his eyes. She couldn't hide her distress, "Your Highness, please go to sleep. I'm here."
Beigong You trusted Nanny Zhang very much, so he nodded.
He really needed to rest, as the smallpox epidemic in Shiqiao Town was still waiting for him.
After Beigong You left, Nanny Zhang asked Yuzhu to take out the thick winter quilt.
Seeing her pressing the thick quilt on Lin Miaoyin, Yuzhu subconsciously spoke out to stop her, "Madam Zhang, you can't do that. The princess is still running a fever. You are just adding fuel to the fire!"
"This is a folk remedy for reducing fever. Although it looks a little dangerous, it is very effective. I have used this method to reduce the prince's fever many times before. Miss Yuzhu, please believe me."
Yuzhu looked at the determination in Nanny Zhang's eyes and nodded half-doubtfully.
I don’t know if it was because of Aunt Zhang’s folk remedy or the protective effect of the medical system, but Lin Miaoyin slowly woke up around mid-afternoon.
She was covered in sweat, as if she had just been fished out of the water.
Beads of sweat the size of beans covered her entire face, and her wet hair stuck to her cheeks, making her cheeks look even thinner.
I opened my heavy eyelids with difficulty, and a blurry scene slowly came into view.
The bed curtains swayed in the breeze, the light coming through the carved windows was dim, and everything in front of me seemed to be yellowed in the hazy light.
Lin Miaoyin felt as if she was reborn.
"Wake up, wake up!" Aunt Zhang said excitedly.
Hearing the noise, Yuzhu dropped the work in her hands and rushed into the room.
"Princess, you're awake!"
Hearing Yuzhu's voice, Lin Miaoyin looked over slowly, "Yuzhu?"
"I'm here." Yuzhu immediately stepped forward and held her hand.
It was not until she felt the body warmth coming from Yuzhu's palm that Lin Miaoyin woke up from her dream, and everything in front of her gradually became clear.
Seeing the worry in Yuzhu's eyes, she raised her hand and gently touched her face, "Don't be afraid."
This scene seems like a lifetime ago.
"I'll wipe the princess's face." Nanny Zhang wrung out a handkerchief and stepped forward. She was afraid that Lin Miaoyin would catch a cold if it got wet, so she wrung the handkerchief dry.
The warm and soft handkerchief was placed on my face, wiping away all the stickiness, and it felt extremely comfortable.
Only then did Lin Miaoyin notice that Nanny Zhang was also in the room.
"Princess, Nanny Zhang came here early in the morning to take care of you, and she even covered you with a quilt to reduce your fever." Yuzhu said.
"Thank you, Aunt Zhang."
"You are too polite, Princess. If it weren't for you, I would be unable to move my old bones..." Nanny Zhang said as she wiped away her tears, unable to hide her guilt.
If the princess had not taken care of them, she would not have contracted smallpox.
"You're too polite, Ma'am. Is Qian Kun feeling better?"
Hearing that Lin Miaoyin was so ill and still cared about her little grandson, she was even more moved, "Don't worry, Princess. Kun'er is almost fully recovered. You should take good care of yourself."
"Princess, you have slept for so long, are you hungry?" Yuzhu asked hurriedly, thinking of Lin Miaoyin's mumbling in the morning.
Lin Miaoyin nodded. She was sweating and actually a little hungry.
"I will go and prepare food for the princess. Miss Yuzhu, please stay and help the princess change into dry clothes." Nanny Zhang bowed and walked out the door.
After sweating, Lin Miaoyin's high fever subsided and her mind became much clearer.
"Princess, your smallpox seems to have healed." Yuzhu exclaimed in surprise as she wiped Lin Miaoyin's body.
The rash just appeared yesterday and now it has started to form scabs.
As long as it scabs over, you won't have to worry about it.
"How long have I slept?" After wiping her body, Lin Miaoyin felt a lot more comfortable.
"Princess, you slept for almost a day and a night." Yuzhu hesitated for a moment, but still told her that Beigong You had stayed up all night.
Lin Miaoyin frowned, "No wonder I feel cold at night."
It turned out that the evil spirit was in her room.
"Oh, right..."
"The prince is catching up on his sleep. Does the princess want to see him?"
"What do you want to see him for?" Lin Miaoyin instructed Yuzhu, "Go to Tianrun Street and buy that shop in the next two days."
She really didn't expect that this smallpox would be so serious.
She was in such danger even though she had the protection of the medical system, let alone ordinary people in this era who have no protective measures.
Even if it's not for food, for the sake of the people of Shengjing, she must open her clinic as soon as possible.
Yuzhu: “…”
She thought the princess would be grateful to the prince for keeping watch last night, but she didn't expect that all she could think about was the shop on Tianrun Street.
"Tell Shen Yu that I will compensate for the door that Beigong You kicked in. The rent is one thousand five hundred taels a year. I won't rent it for a penny more." Lin Miaoyin was sure that she could get the shop.
After eating, Lin Miaoyin regained some strength and felt much more energetic.
She began to clean the scabs on her body and store them in the medical system.
After finishing the work, she called Maidong and asked him to recruit ten guards to prepare to vaccinate them.
But when he was about to be vaccinated, the man refused.
Maidong frowned, "What's going on?"
"Replying to Mai Wei, on the way here just now, I heard that there was a problem with the princess's... princess's medicine..."
"Nonsense! The princess vaccinated everyone, and that's how everyone in Prince Ning's mansion was saved from smallpox. How could there be a problem with her medicine?" Maidong scolded.
"How do you explain the princess contracting smallpox?"
As soon as this was said, the others also spoke out, "The princess contracted smallpox, didn't she take medicine in advance?"
"If this medicine is so effective, why doesn't the princess use it herself? Does it have any side effects?"
"You...actually doubted the princess?"
Yuzhu looked over in disbelief. The princess had infected the whole palace with illness because of her, and they actually thought of her like this. "How heartless!"
Lin Miaoyin pursed her lips slightly.
There is indeed a bug that she has medicine but doesn't use it on herself.
"Oh, right... I heard someone say that the princess deliberately didn't give me medicine in order to get smallpox and make the prince feel guilty, so that he would owe her a favor. What's the word for that? Blackmail..."
"Repay a favor!"
"Yes, yes, that's right, it's just repaying a favor!"
"Puh!" Yuzhu couldn't stand it any longer. "The princess has saved the prince many times. Is it necessary to use this method to beg for favor from the prince?"
“That’s what they all say…”
"Shut up! You are the guards of the palace, why are you gossiping like the women in the backyard?" Mai Dong's face darkened, "Anyone who dares to mention this matter again will be punished by military law!"
Everyone fell silent.
