Behind the ancestral hall, a guard saw Qin Huaidao approaching and quickly stopped him. He held the handle of the knife with one hand and his eyes were alert. Several guards nearby gathered around him.
Qin Huaidao understood everyone's responsibilities and was not angry. He stopped and said harmoniously: "If you have anything to report, I will ask Qin Huaidao to see you."
"Waiting." The other party agreed and looked at the person behind him, who hurried away.
Not long after, a palace maid trotted up and said, "Please come with your servant, Duke."
After saying that, the palace maid added to the guard: "Princess Yuzhang has an order. When the Duke comes, you must not stop him. Just let him go."
"Here!" The guard quickly took note of Qin Huaidao's appearance.
Qin Huaidao was a little surprised when he heard this. Is Princess Yuzhang showing her goodwill? She is a smart person. He walked forward for a while and came to a carriage. The palace maid signaled to wait a moment, hurriedly came to the carriage and whispered:
"Princess, the Duke brings you here."
"Chao Yilang, I have to be disrespectful to see you. It's my sister who woke up from her sleep. She has a severe fever and needs to be taken care of. Please forgive me." A crisp voice sounded, but it was a bit anxious.
Qin Huaidao was startled. He wouldn't die here. He quickly said, "Can I let you take a look?"
"Chao Yilang, wait a moment."
Not long after, a beauty got out of the car. Her goose-yellow dress showed off her youthful spirit to the fullest, but her face was full of sadness and her eyes were red, as if she had cried. She was Princess Yuzhang.
"I've seen the princess." Qin Huaidao shouted.
"You're welcome, Chao Yilang. Uncle Qin saved my life back then. I heard from my father that you are a few months older than Yuzhang. If you don't mind, you can call me Yuzhang in informal situations. I will call you Brother Qin.
Is it okay to avoid being born?"
"That's fine..." Qin Huaidao agreed nonchalantly.
"Brother Qin, please come over and take a look." Yu Zhang quickly opened the car curtain further.
"This is freshly stewed mutton. I brought it to you to try." Qin Huaidao stepped forward and handed it over. Yu Zhang motioned to the palace maid to take it. He had something on his mind and had no appetite? Qin Huaidao didn't say much. He stepped forward and took a look at the carriage.
Jin Yang was lying inside, covered with a thick quilt, his face was red, his lips were chapped, and his body was twitching.
"This is a bad thing." Qin Huaidao was shocked. He quickly touched his forehead and found that it was very hot. It was at least forty degrees. He took a few steps back and asked, "After being burned like this, you still need to cover so much?"
"ah--"
Yuzhang's face changed with fright, and he quickly said: "I was worried about the evil wind, so I built more walls."
"You don't want to die. Reduce the temperature immediately. In addition, put a wet cold cloth on the forehead, wrists, and calves. Change it frequently. Cover other parts with quilts or clothes. The temperature must be cooled as soon as possible. The armpits and lower abdomen also need to be covered with soft towels.
Wet some cloths and wipe them until the body temperature drops. The princess is already dehydrated and will have a fever if she doesn't die. What did the imperial doctor do? It's just nonsense. I'll boil some water. You're not allowed to drink raw water." Qin Huaidao said.
Went in a hurry.
I was extremely depressed. If someone died in Qinjiazhuang, I might have to be buried with him. What is this?
Yuzhang also realized that his life was in danger, and the convulsions were really scary. Hearing Qin Huaidao's words, he suddenly had a backbone and shouted quickly: "Quick, prepare as Chao Yilang just said." After saying that, he got into the carriage.
Qin Huaidao hurried back, found an old willow tree and peeled off a large piece of skin with a knife, then returned to the ancestral hall, found a jar, cleaned the skin, cut it into small pieces and threw it in, filled it with water, covered it, put it on the fire and boiled the willow tree.
The skin is rich in salicylic acid, which is a compound similar to aspirin and is considered a "natural antipyretic." When Qin Huaidao had a fever when he was a child, his parents made a pot of it and the effect was very good.
After waiting for the potion to boil, Qin Huaidao hurriedly ran to the back of the ancestral hall with the jar. The guards did not stop him this time. Qin Huaidao rushed to the carriage, but when he saw the princess, he was probably in the carriage. He shouted: "Yuzhang, the potion is ready, let it dry for a while."
, take it after it reaches room temperature, and be sure to drink as much as possible.”
"Thank you, Brother Qin. According to Brother Qin's method just now, the temperature of the emperor's sister dropped a little and she stopped smoking." Yuzhang's voice sounded, full of gratitude.
"That's good. If you have anything to do, just ask someone to come look for it." Qin Huaidao handed the jar to the maid and went back.
While walking, Qin Huaidao looked at the moonlight, and his eyes gradually became cold and stern.
The moon is dark and the wind is high, it is the time to kill!
The Wang family, Wang Gui's old fox must not stay, it's time to collect debts.
…
In the carriage, Yu Zhang was sweating profusely as he kept wiping Princess Jinyang's body. Feeling that his body temperature was dropping, his panicked heart gradually calmed down. Qin Huaidao's figure could not help but appear in his mind. His face suddenly turned red, and he quickly put away his distracting thoughts.
Put it aside and continue wiping.
After a while, the palace maid's voice came from outside: "Princess, the temperature is OK. I have tried it and it's no problem."
The so-called "tried" means that I am worried that it is poisonous. Someone must try it before drinking it. This is the rule. Yu Zhang didn't think much and quickly took it, got back into the carriage, and helped Jinyang sit up.
Perhaps because the temperature had dropped a bit, Jinyang woke up, regained some consciousness, and asked in a weak voice: "Sister Huang, where are you?"
"This is Qinjiazhuang. Thanks to Chao Yilang's method, otherwise the imperial sister would be...scared to death. Hurry, this is the potion sent by Chao Yilang. Drink it quickly." Yuzhang said excitedly.
"Brother Qin's? Brother Qin's medical skills are better than those of the imperial doctor, so I'll help you." Jin Yang said and opened his mouth. He felt that the taste was weird, but he still forced himself to drink it.
Soon, after drinking a bowl of water, Jinyang felt dizzy and weak, so he lay down again and fell asleep.
An hour later, Princess Jinyang opened her eyes, covered in sweat, and struggled to sit up. Seeing Yuzhang sleeping next to her, she was filled with gratitude and shouted: "Sister Huang, Sister Huang."
Yuzhang woke up and was startled when he saw Jinyang sitting up. He was immediately overjoyed. He wiped his forehead and found that the temperature was miraculously normal. He touched his forehead in disbelief, then touched Jinyang and asked: "
How good does it feel?"
"I feel much better, I'm sweating all over, and I'm still a little hungry." Jin Yang said quickly.
"It's good if you know you're hungry, it's good if you know you're hungry..." Yu Zhang spoke incoherently excitedly, quickly got off the carriage, and told the waiting maid: "Go and bring the porridge, the emperor is hungry."
"Ah, that's great." The palace maid hurried over in surprise.
Yuzhang called a guard, took out a token and handed it over, and said seriously: "Take this token and go back to the palace quickly to report that Princess Jinyang is critically ill. Fortunately, Chao Yilang took action in time and escaped.
Tribulation, now the high fever has subsided and I have an appetite. I will report any progress tomorrow. There is no need to say anything else."
"Here!" the guard responded solemnly, took the token and hurried away. The city gate was closed and the palace was locked. No one could enter without a special token.
Yuzhang watched the guards riding away, looked towards the ancestral hall, clasped his hands together, and murmured gratefully: "Chao Yilang, Yuzhang will definitely repay you for saving your life!"
