Hearing their shouts, Su Muer hurriedly ran in the direction of the sound, followed closely by Wang Biao and others behind her.
In the end, the men took turns carrying the two girls down the mountain.
Su Muer did not sleep that night. She prepared the prescription according to the memory in her dream, and then said to Liu Ye:
"500 taels of Humulus, 2 taels each of Baibu and Bailu, 1 tael of Prunella vulgaris, 32 taels of sugar, add water repeatedly and boil for an hour."
Willow Ye yawned while recording.
Su Muer said again:
"You go and get some sleep first. I will prepare three doses of medicine tonight and take them to Tingyuge Pavilion for the prince to take tomorrow morning."
"Princess, you go to bed, the slaves will do the rough work."
"No, you can't control the heat when brewing medicine for the first time. Besides, you have to go up the mountain tomorrow. There are so many people suffering from this disease now, and the medicine is not enough. If the prince can be cured after drinking the medicine, then I will let him
Bring the people in the military camp to collect medicine."
Seeing that the princess was resolute, Liu Ye could only yawn and nod.
"Then slave, go and sleep for a while. If the princess is sleepy, call me."
"Go ahead."
While dividing the medicinal ingredients, she thought in her mind, how could she be sleepy? Ye Shihan was still suffering from pain, how could she be sleepy? She couldn't wait to boil the medicine and send it back to him.
She stayed up all night until the next morning, when she finally prepared three doses of medicine. She asked Liuye to call everyone to the yard. She had something to say to everyone.
After yesterday's exhaustion, everyone's faces looked a little haggard, but they still looked energetic when facing her.
She glanced at everyone, but did not see Xiaoqian and Princess Yongping. They must have been too tired yesterday.
"Everyone worked hard yesterday. I think everyone knows that the prince is also infected by the plague. I will use this prescription to cure him first. If he can be cured, then all plague patients can also be cured, so
Today I am going back to the capital. You are here. The men are led by Wang Biao and continue to go up the mountain to collect herbs. The women are arranged by Liu Ye to pack the herbs at home. They pack the herbs according to the method I prescribed, and then wait for me over there.
result."
Wang Biao suddenly couldn't help but asked:
"Princess, is this safe? How about asking someone else to test the medicine? The prince must not make any mistakes, otherwise what will happen to the Eastern Jin Kingdom?"
Su Muer glanced at him, then shook her head,
"I have decided to test the medicine on the prince. No matter what the result is, I will face it. Now everyone can go about their business according to my instructions."
Everyone saw that she had already left, so they all went to get ready.
Before leaving, she went to see Princess Yongping and Xiaoqian. At this time, Xiaoqian was sitting by Princess Yongping's bed, watching her eating porridge and muttering,
"I told you not to be brave, but you have to be brave, right? Now it's better, the ground can't fall anymore, what should I do?"
Princess Yongping muttered aggrievedly while drinking porridge.
"I don't want this either, so just stop talking about me."
"I don't want to talk about you, but I want to be with you."
"Then you don't want to accompany me anymore. Go and do your work. I can do it by myself. If not, I'll ask Butterfly to wait on me."
"Everyone is very busy now. Where can anyone have time to serve you? It's really adding to the chaos."
The moment Su Muer entered the room, she heard two women arguing, but their tone no longer had the mutual dislike before, but more of blame and distress.
This made Su Muer feel very pleased.
She came into the house and called softly,
"Xiaoqian, Yongping."
Hearing her voice, Xiaoqian and Princess Yongping stopped arguing instantly and looked at her together.
She came to the round stool beside the bed and sat down, looking at Princess Yongping with concern.
"Is your foot feeling better?"
Princess Yongping nodded aggrievedly, "It's better, but I can't go to the ground. I promised not to cause trouble to you before I came here, but it still caused trouble. I'm sorry."
Su Muer smiled and shook her head, "It's okay. You've already suffered because of your injury. How can I blame you? By the way. I'm going back to the capital in a while. You two go back with me."
"No, after my feet heal, I still have to go up the mountain to collect herbs."
Xiaoqian couldn't help but pursed her lips and muttered,
"Your foot won't heal for a while like this. By the time your foot heals, you'll have gathered enough medicinal materials. You'd better go back, otherwise there will be people waiting for you here."
After Xiaoqian said this, Princess Yongping lowered her head in disappointment, while Su Muer also comforted her.
"Xiaoqian is right, we should go back to the capital to recuperate first, until your feet are healed and you can help."
"Really?"
Princess Yongping looked at her with wide eyes, "Will there really be a time when I can help in the future? I really want to do something for everyone, but I just can't live up to expectations."
"Of course. We will test the medicine on the prince when we go back. If the test goes well, we can use this medicine on everyone. We will definitely be busy by then."
Hearing what she said, Princess Yongping finally showed a smile on her face, "Okay, I'll go back with you."
Without further ado, Su Muer quickly returned to the capital with Xiaoqian, Princess Yongping and the two accompanying girls.
She settled the two of them and couldn't wait to get ready to go out. Xiao Yuanyuan hurriedly greeted her.
"princess……"
Seeing that Xiao Yuanyuan's face didn't look good, she frowned and asked:
"What's wrong?"
Xiao Yuanyuan paused for a while and then said:
"I went to deliver food to the prince yesterday, but no matter how hard I knocked, he wouldn't open..."
What?
Su Muer's heart suddenly rose to her throat, "Didn't he say anything inside?"
"No, there was no sound at all. I wanted to ask someone to break down the door, but I was afraid of angering the prince. I originally thought of asking someone to notify you today, but you came back."
Hearing this, Su Muer ran towards the door like crazy holding the medicine jar in her hand. She quickly got on her horse and headed towards Tingyuge.
She didn't know what happened to Ye Shihan. Why didn't he open the door? Something would happen to him, right?
What would she do if something happened to him? She couldn't imagine what she would do if she saw something unexpected happened to him in Tingyuge later.
Thinking like this, her eyes were blurred by tears, but she told herself to be strong and control her emotions. He would be fine. He must have fallen asleep or he wasn't hungry. That must be the case.
Thinking like this, she quickly came to the door of Tingyu Pavilion. She stood at the door and hesitated for a while, closing her eyes and opening them again. She was afraid, she was afraid that she would not get a response from him if she knocked on the door.
But she finally knocked hard on the door.
"Dong dong dong"
She knocked three times, but there was no movement inside.
"Dong dong dong"
She knocked again, but there was still no movement inside.
She was a little anxious and couldn't help shouting outside,
"Ye Shihan, Ye Shihan, Mr. Xianggong, Mr. Xianggong, can you hear me? I'm Mu'er, I'm back."
But no matter how she shouted, there was still silence inside. She anxiously put the medicine jar in her hand aside, took a few steps back, took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and covered her mouth, and then looked at the tall
The courtyard wall flew up, jumped directly into the wall, and then fell into the courtyard.
It was so quiet here that her heart suddenly rose to her throat. She walked in cautiously and called softly:
"Ms. sir? Mr. sir?"
There is nothing here but empty echoes.
Her heart suddenly rose to her throat, she quickened her pace and headed towards the inner bedroom.
As soon as the door was opened, a weak voice came from inside,
"Don't come in."
It belonged to Ye Shihan. When she heard his voice, Su Muer's tears instantly fell. It was so good to hear his voice.
"Shihan, you scared me to death, are you okay?"
After a long silence, he replied:
"Mu'er, go back. I can't do it anymore. Get out of here quickly and help me burn this house down to prevent this damn plague from spreading to others."
"Shihan, you'll be fine. I brought the medicine. I'll get it for you now."
"No."
The moment Su Muer turned around, he shouted with all his strength:
"Mu'er, there is no cure for my disease. Don't waste your efforts anymore."
His face looked extremely pale, and his coughing from time to time made his face distorted. Seeing his painful look, Su Muer shook her head vigorously.
"Don't give up on yourself. You still have Doudou and Ziru. They can't live without their father. When I came just now, Ziru asked about you. If you were taken away by the plague like this, what would they do? What would I do?
"
Her words made Ye Shihan become silent. Why didn't he want to accompany them for the rest of his life, but he knew that his body was no longer good.
"Mu'er, I'm sorry, I can't accompany you anymore."
His voice was soft and soft, as if it came from the sky.
Su Mu'er looked at him blankly, turned around, and walked toward him step by step. He tried to raise his hand to stop her.
"do not come."
"do not come."
He shouted hysterically, but Su Muer stepped forward and questioned word by word,
"Are you willing to take medicine? If not, I will go with you."
After saying this, she pulled off the veil covering her mouth. When Ye Shihan saw this, he quickly covered his mouth with his hand and moved sideways to the bed.
"Don't come here, don't come here, stay away from me."
Su Mu'er did not stop, she continued to move forward with firm eyes.
Seeing her getting closer and closer to him, Ye Shihan nodded vigorously,
"Okay, go get me the medicine quickly, don't come over."
Hearing this, Su Muer finally stopped. She looked at him and burst into tears.
"I'm going to get you medicine now. You have to take the medicine on time. If you don't want me to accompany you to death, you have to do what I say. Otherwise, if you die, I will not live alone."
Her firm tone made him feel unspeakable mixed emotions. He didn't want to die, but he couldn't control it.
He didn't believe that her medicine could cure him who was halfway into the Palace of Hell, but her stubborn look made him unbearable. He was really afraid that she would do something stupid.
Su Muer brought the medicine jar in as quickly as possible. She wanted to step forward to give him medicine, but he stopped her again.
"Put it down and I'll do it myself. You can get out."
"No, you are in very poor health now, I don't worry about it."
"You get out, or I won't take the medicine."
He didn't want the plague virus in his body to infect her.
Looking at his pale face, she couldn't bear to make him angry anymore, so she put the medicine beside the table and told him:
"These medicines are for three days. You only need to drink a small bowl now. I will cook you some porridge now. You must eat, and you are now the first person to test this medicine. If you are cured
If it is cured, there will be hope for the entire Eastern Jin Kingdom. If you cannot cure it, then the people of the Eastern Jin Kingdom will naturally no longer need to take this medicine, so you must cooperate with me, you know?"
Although her voice was soft, it carried a certain dignity that could not be refuted.
Ye Shihan looked at her and suddenly a difficult smile appeared at the corner of his mouth,
"Okay, I have always listened to my wife, and this time is no exception. But you must also listen to me. Go out now and don't appear around me."
"Okay, I'll go out, you get up and drink the medicine, and then I'll bring the porridge in later."
After leaving these words, she turned around and went to the kitchen to make porridge.
Ye Shihan hasn't eaten for a day. It's not that he's not hungry, he just doesn't want to eat. He knows that there is little hope of being cured of the plague, so he has given up.
But seeing Su Muer's expression of wanting to live and die with him just now, his desire to survive was rekindled.
He wants to live, not for anything else, but for his wife and for his son.
Thinking of this, he struggled to get up from the bed, held the edge of the bed and moved step by step to the table, picked up the soup bowl on the table, and drank it in one gulp without thinking.
The taste of this medicine is a bit strange, but he believes in Su Muer, as long as she says it will work, then it will work.
After a while, Su Muer came in with a bowl of porridge, but he was also turned away. He didn't allow her to get close to him.
"Put it at the door. Get out of here now and I'll get it myself."
"No, I want to watch you finish eating before leaving."
Ye Shihan looked at him and smiled bitterly, "Then you stay away and I'll go get it myself."
Su Mu'er didn't argue with him anymore, but kept backing away. She didn't stop until he nodded.
Ye Shihan stood up from the chair, supported the wall and slowly came to the door, picked up the bowl of porridge in front of her, and drank it in one go.
Seeing him devouring the food, Su Mu'er felt very distressed. She wanted him to drink slowly, but she also understood that the reason why he was so anxious was because he wanted her to leave here quickly. He didn't want her to be infected too.
The plague.
After finishing a bowl of porridge, he looked at her and said, "After you finish drinking, you can go back quickly. You don't have to come over at night. I will drink the medicine myself."
Su Mu'er looked at his pale face and nodded slightly, "Okay, I will bring porridge from the palace in the evening, and you can take the medicine on time."
"Okay, just knock on the door when delivering porridge, and don't come in again."
Although she wanted to stay with him, but now she couldn't touch or touch her, so she could only watch from a distance, and since she was here, he couldn't go to bed to rest. Instead of doing this, it would be better to leave early.
.
Thinking of this, she whispered again:
"I'm going back first. You have a good rest and take your lunch medicine on time."
Ye Shihan's lips moved slightly, then nodded,
"Go back! I'm fine. For you and my two sons, I will take good care of myself."
Although his voice was very soft, it was a bit more tenacious than before. From this, Su Muer felt a lot more relieved.
She indeed had a lot to do, so she gave him a few more instructions and hurried out of Tingyu Pavilion.
It suddenly started to rain in August, and the drizzle made her feel a little irritable. Rainy days are the most challenging for those who go up the mountain to collect herbs. If they are not careful, they can easily slip and get injured.
But now there is a severe shortage of medicinal materials, and they dare not let them stop. If the light rain does not fall too much, these people will get the plague.
The patients can’t wait.
Thinking of this, she got on her horse and headed straight to the largest isolation area in the capital.
Liu Hai also happened to be here. When he saw her coming on horseback, he rushed over with a bamboo hat.
"Princess, it's raining so hard, why are you here?"
Su Mu'er took the bamboo hat in his hand and put it on her body, and walked quickly into the house.
After entering the room, the bamboo hat was taken off by the guards beside her, and she had time to answer her bangs.
"Let me take a look at the situation here. How is it now?"
When mentioning things related to the plague, Liu Hai shook his head helplessly.
"More than thirty people have died today, and the number of seriously ill people is still increasing. The situation in other cities is not good either."
Su Mu'er frowned. This was a result she had long thought of, but she didn't expect the situation to be so serious.
But right now, all she can do is wait and see if Ye Shihan can get better. All her hopes are pinned on the prescription that appeared in her dream.
Three days passed very quickly. Since Ye Shihan did not let her enter Tingyu Pavilion during these three days, she could only look at him from a distance.
Three days later in the evening, she knocked on the door of Tingyu Pavilion again.
After a while, a coughing sound came, followed by Ye Shihan's voice,
"Is it Mu'er?"
His voice sounded much stronger than before, and Su Muer nodded excitedly,
"It's me, Shihan, how are you doing?"
"I'm fine. My cough is much lighter than before. I haven't coughed up blood today, and I have more strength. You can get me some medicine later."
Hearing this, Su Muer cried with joy, and she nodded heavily,
"Okay, great. It seems that this medicine can be effective against this plague. It's great."
"My lady, please put the food at the door and go back. Congratulations to your newly developed prescription that is effective against the plague. The emperor must have been so anxious about it that he could not sleep at night. Madam, please go to the palace and talk to the emperor when you have time."
Su Muer nodded heavily,
"Okay, I'll go now. Tomorrow I'll ask Doudou to lead a team to Sujiazhuang to distribute the medicinal materials collected there, and then ask officials from various places to take people to the mountains to collect herbs according to my prescription. I believe that all
Anyone who gets the plague will get better quickly just like my husband."
When she said this, she was so excited that she was a little incoherent, and Ye Shihan also echoed,
"Madam is right. I originally thought that I would definitely die this time, but I didn't expect that after taking Madam's medicine, I really showed signs of improvement. It seems that I don't have to die. I can accompany Madam until the end of my life."
Looking at the door, Su Muer pursed her lips and smiled,
"My husband is right. I will not die without my order, never. I am leaving now. You can take the food in and eat it yourself. I will go to the palace."
With these words, she placed the food box with food at the door and left quickly.
