Grandma Xi’s illness was discovered in time, and after more than a month of treatment, she has improved a lot.
Moreover, the round spots on the face are almost invisible.
For the first time, a microscope appeared in Yuan Qingling's medicine cabinet, which could extract tissue for fixation and acid-fast staining for microscopic examination.
She discovered that many devices that did not need to be connected to electricity could appear in the medicine cabinet, as long as she wanted to.
After a microscopic examination, no more leprosy bacteria were found in the tissue extracted from Grandma Xi's scar, which means that her disease is no longer contagious.
In fact, although leprosy bacillus can be transmitted through breathing or contact, many people actually have antibodies in their bodies, and not everyone will be infected after contact. Grandma Xi had just been injured at that time and was weak.
You may get tricked accidentally.
When she announced that Auntie Xi could leave the yard and go see the snacks freely, Auntie Xi hugged her pillow and started crying.
Yuan Qingling withdrew and let her cry.
The treatment for more than a month has also been painful for her. The most uncomfortable thing is the psychological torture.
Seeing Grandma Xi crying with joy, she became more determined to treat the patients on Leprosy Mountain.
However, Aunt Xi was still unwilling to leave the courtyard. It wasn't that she didn't believe in the Crown Princess, but she was worried that the disease had not been completely cured. She was unwilling to infect anyone else if there was even the slightest chance.
Unexpectedly, after hiding for more than a month, Aunt Xi got the attention of King An.
Although King An is in Nanying now, he can still return to Beijing occasionally.
Because it was the imperial concubine's birthday soon, King An returned to the capital and gave her a gift first.
Returning to Prince An's Mansion, I first met with Princess An to talk for a while, and then called Ah Ru into the study.
"Is there anything unusual on Lao Wu's side?" King An asked after sitting down.
After months in Nanying, he had tanned a lot, but his features were still stern, and his eyes were becoming more sinister.
Ah Ru said softly: "Your Majesty, since the prince promoted the alliance with the Great Zhou Dynasty, all the officials in the court have returned. Even the neutral officials in the past or some of our people have moved closer. Even Zhu Guogong has taken the initiative to show his kindness.
"
King An said coldly: "I never counted on him. It was grandpa who always thought he could win over him. Duke Zhu Guo is a stubborn old man. In the past, he thought he could restrain Duke Xiaoyao. Have you reconciled with Duke Xiaoyao now?"
Ah Ru shook his head, "That's not true. The hatred is still as deep as the sea."
"Then leave him alone." King An knocked on the table and said bitterly: "I heard that Lao Wu was very friendly with Chen Jingting of Dazhou. I didn't want him to promote this matter. Now that he has made contributions, those wallflowers will naturally
It doesn’t matter, I don’t need anyone who can sway you. If you are not loyal to me, I would rather be in short supply than in vain.”
Ah Ru walked around behind him, put her white face against his ear, wrapped her hands around his neck like a dragon, and whispered softly: "My lord, don't worry, Yu Wenhao is too arrogant now, we can always catch him."
Acknowledge his fault, and then make him irrecoverable."
A gleam of fire rose in Wang An's eyes, "Yu Wenhao seems careless, but his palace is very deep, and there are so many people around him to help him. There is no way for him to get in. It is better to find a breakthrough from the inner palace, Yuan
Did Qing Ling do anything out of the ordinary?"
A'ru thought for a while, "Yuan Qing Ling was very peaceful. She sent Jingwai away and mostly stayed in the house and did not go out. However, there is one strange thing. Aunt Xi did not go out for more than a month.
Half a step past the mansion gate."
"Auntie Xi?" Prince An raised his eyes, "Are you sure?"
"I'm sure, the last time she went out, she accompanied Yuan Qing Ling to Duke Zhu's mansion. After that, Yuan Qing Ling didn't take her with him when he went out, and he didn't even take her with him when he entered the palace. Moreover, the people we sent out to keep an eye on the Duke of Chu's mansion came back to report
, It is said that in the past month or so, Ah Si or Man'er have been responsible for purchasing items needed for the Chu Palace, and sometimes Tang Yang also went to do it, and in the past, Grandma Xi was responsible for these things."
King An took her hand and pulled her in front of him, staring at her with burning eyes, "Is it possible that you are sick?"
Ah Ru was startled, "It's only half a year, so it shouldn't be so fast."
"No, I'm not happy. The doctor said before that after being exposed to a patient, it may not take several years for the disease to develop. Some people may develop the disease within a few months." King An perked up, "Find someone to visit the Prince of Chu's Mansion, no matter what it takes
The price is, even if one or two spies die, I still have to know if Grandma Xi is ill."
Aru nodded and sat on Prince An's lap, leaning against him enchantingly, with silky eyebrows, "Your Majesty, if Grandma Xi really gets leprosy, then the entire Chu Prince's Palace will be closed, and Yu Wenhao, the Jingzhao Palace
Yin, I’m afraid I’ll have to dismount for the third time.”
A flash of anger flashed in King An's eyes, "I am not asking him to step down from his position as Jingzhao Prefecture Governor, but I am asking him to be completely unable to turn over."
Aru leaned up and said, "Your Majesty is right, he must die without a burial place before he can completely turn over."
Prince An put his arms around her waist, which was less than a handhold, and pondered for a moment: "Cao Imperial Physician is now the resident doctor of the Chu Palace. If Grandma Xi really gets leprosy, Yuan Qingling will definitely find Cao Imperial Physician to join forces."
Treatment, after all, Yuan Qingling is not expected to be able to cure this serious disease, so you can start from him."
"Okay!" Ah Ru snorted, her eyes shining with a dark light, "You're not leaving tonight, are you? Why don't you stay with me tonight?"
When Prince An looked at her beautiful face, he lost all interest in her and said calmly: "No, it's rare for me to come back once, so naturally I want to spend some time with the princess. You can go, it's none of your business."
The light in Aru's eyes faded slightly, "Yes."
She got up from Wang An, concealed the disappointment on her face, turned around and went out.
Ah Ru met Princess An at the door. Princess An came over with soup. Ah Ru said happily, "Princess!"
"Miss Aru is here too?" Princess An said with a smile on her face, "Are you discussing something?"
"There is no discussion. The prince has asked his subordinates to come over for a chat. Now that the chat is over, the princess can go in." Aru said with a smile.
Princess An said softly: "Okay."
Ah Ru turned around to open the door for her, but suddenly turned to Princess An and said, "What kind of soup did Princess An make?"
"It's duck stewed with bitter melon, which can dispel dampness and clear away heat." Princess An said.
Ah Ru frowned and said, "This soup is not suitable. The prince now lives in the army and works hard. He should change to some nourishing soup. Duck stewed bitter melon to remove fire and remove dampness. After taking it, it will cause lack of body fluids and damage Qi. So he should change to stewed chicken with Eucommia ulmoides.
Well, it’s more appropriate.”
Hearing this almost commanding tone, Princess An subconsciously said, "Okay, I'll ask someone to change her."
"Go." Aru said.
Princess An turned around and walked back, feeling something was wrong in her heart. Why in front of Ah Ru, it seemed that Ah Ru was the princess and she was like a concubine?
