chapter Five
Chapter 5 ·
This seventeenth birthday made Xinyue feel a bit vigilant. She felt the happiness and warmth of this family more deeply than before. She also felt Yan Ji's charm more deeply than before. Since she came to Nudahai's house, she found that this family was completely different from other princes and ministers. There were many concubines in other families, but Nudahai didn't even have a wife like her. Now, seeing that Yan Ji was polite and kind, she had a charming and gentleness when she was waiting for Nudahai, she understood a little. It turned out that a lovely woman could have the love and respect of so many people. This was enviable and touching! So, in a new understanding, Xinyue told the already confused herself; she would also love everyone in this family with a selfless heart!
This kind of thinking is easy to think about, but it is not the case when it is done. Human feelings are never "allocated". However, for Xinyue, who is only seventeen years old, she really has no ability to analyze so much.
On the third day after his birthday, something happened to Keshan.
On that day, Keshan was halfway through class and fainted in the study. Fortunately, Nudahai was in the middle of the court and immediately rushed to the study, met with the three imperial physicians, and inspected Keshan. Then, Nudahai took Keshan and the most prestigious imperial physician Wei, together with the most famous imperial physician in the palace, drove the car and rushed back to the house.
Holding Ke Shan, he headed straight to Xiaozhu Wangyue. Amid the shock of everyone, Nudahai announced to the whole family very seriously:
"Everyone hears me that Keshan has a high fever and vomiting, and has a mixed body with rashes. According to the joint diagnosis of the three imperial physicians, it is a typhoid disease that is now prevalent in the city!"
As soon as this statement was spoken, the whole family was shocked, especially Xinyue, who was already dissatisfied.
"Typhoid fever?" The old lady was knowledgeable and exclaimed, "Is that still there? This disease will be contagious!"
"It's really good," said the Imperial Physician. "Since the beginning of this year, the disease has spread in the suburbs of Beijing, and tens of thousands of people have died. In April, the emperor issued an imperial edict that Xishan had been classified as an epidemic area. Anyone who has this disease will be sent to Xishan for isolation and treatment to prevent the epidemic from spreading."
"Then...then..." the old lady said in panic, "Are we going to handle it according to the order..."
"No!" Nudahai said firmly, "Sending him to the West Mountain is to let him die on his own. I will never give up Ke Shan! So, please listen, from now on, this "Wangyue Xiaozhu" is the epidemic area! No one of you comes in to avoid contagion! At the same time, gather all the people in the mansion and disinfect them in the mansion! The imperial physician will tell you the disinfection method, Yan Ji, you take everyone to implement it!"
"Yes!" Yan Ji responded, staring at Nudahai involuntarily, "But...you..."
"Although this disease is terrible, it is not an incurable disease." Nudahai interrupted Yan Ji's words, obviously already knowing what she was going to say. "Doctor Wei has cured several times, so we must have confidence! Moreover, I also suffered from this disease eight years ago, and it is not a good thing yet?"
"You had this disease eight years ago?" The old lady was so shocked. "Why don't I know at all?"
"It was when I went on a war with Wen Buha that year and I got it in the mountainous areas of Hubei. If you don't believe me, ask Ashan!" Ashan was Nudahai's confidant and fought with Nudahai for many years. "The imperial physician said that this disease is the same as smallpox, and people who have it once will not get it again. Therefore, the imperial physician and I took two strong girls here to take care of Keshan. You all leave Wangyue Xiaozhu, and you are the same!"
"It is absolutely impossible to ask me to leave here!" Xinyue stood in front of Keshan's bed, her face full of fear and anxiety, and her eyes full of sadness and determination. "Keshan has suffered such a serious illness, which is why I didn't take good care of him. I am so anxious that I am so anxious that I am burning all over... I don't know what to do, I only know that you can use a hundred horses to pull me, so you can't take me away from this bed!"
"So too!" Yunwa immediately responded, as firm as Xinyue, "Since this disease is contagious, it is not safe for anyone. You cannot let the girl in Master Nu's family take risks. My Mangutai and I were assigned to serve the little master. We live and die with the little master! Therefore, it is enough to have me and Mangutai here, so there is no need to bother others anymore!" "Add me one!" Ji Yuan said enthusiastically, "I am young and strong, and I will never be infected!"
"I want to help too!" Luo Lin stood forward.
"Are you all crazy?" The old lady was stern. "Do you think this is joining in the fun? This will kill people!"
"Yes!" Nudahai also said sternly, "The only thing you can help is to protect yourself so that I have no worries!"
"Nudahai!" Yan Ji couldn't help but look at Nudahai deeply and asked seriously, "You really suffered from typhoid fever eight years ago? Isn't it another disease? Are you really not infected?"
"Do you think I'll joke about my life?" Nudahai looked serious. "Do I still don't understand the disease I have suffered? Even the symptoms are exactly the same as Keshan!" "I think," Xinyue said anxiously to Nudahai, "There are imperial doctors, me, Mangutai and Yunwa here. It's enough. I don't care whether you have harmed it or not. I just can't let you serve Keshan. Please leave here with everyone!"
"What are you saying?" Nudahai was almost angry. "When is it? I'm still bargaining here!" He looked up at Yan Ji and said decisively, "Don't waste time anymore. Just decide, I, the Imperial Doctor, Xinyue, Yunwa, Mangutai, keep it, you take everyone out and do what you should do! Apart from delivering food and medicine on time, no one is allowed to approach here, you have to worry about everything!"
Yan Ji's eyes were staring at Nudahai for a moment. Over the years, her trust and love for Nudahai made her no longer suspicious or like her. Her eyes were full of tenderness and support, and she said strongly:
"Just don't worry!" She glanced at Xinyue and reminded her more carefully, "Since you have already been harmed and are not afraid of infection, you should work harder. Don't let Xinyue overwork! Don't let her be infected!"
Next, it was a terrible day.
Keshan's illness was coming in a fierce manner. He was covered in red spots all over his body, and he struggled and rolled on the bed. The medicine he fed in was vomited out in a blink of an eye, and the same was true for what he had eaten. After a few days, he was already thin and his cheeks were sunken. Then, he began to cough and asthma, and often couldn't breathe at once. He was about to stop breathing, and several times scared Xinyue's soul to death. Then, Keshan began to have diarrhea again... the sheets were replaced one by one.
The entire Wangyue Xiaozhu was shrouded in a misty mist. Not only was the mist, but it was also full of tension and busyness. In the yard, ropes were pulled everywhere, and towels, sheets, and bedding were hung. A large iron pot was installed on the open space, and the sheets and towels were cooked to be disinfected. Mangutai hurriedly burned the fire, stirred the sheets, and sprinkled lime water in every corner of the room. Yunwa ran out, and sent the dirty clothes out, and then brought the boiled medicine in. Xinyue was guarding Keshan's bed with clothes in disarray. Whenever Keshan dirtyed the sheets, she and Nudahai rushed to clean up and replace them. Nudahai originally did not let Xinyue do it, but later he couldn't care. He sighed and said helplessly:
"I just hope that God will give you mercy so that you can avoid contagion, otherwise you will not be able to escape!"
Then, he nervously supervised her to wash her hands and disinfect her hands, and he also washed her desperately.
By the fifth day, Keshan's condition became worse. He was completely unconscious and his lips were burned. When he opened his eyes occasionally, he no longer recognized anyone, his eyes were distracted and he was speechless. In his mouth, he called Ama and his mother in a vague way. This call teared the heart of Xinyue.
At this point, the Imperial Doctor can no longer say the truth:
"I have tried my best! Unfortunately, the young prince is very weak in physique and is so fierce. At this point, I am afraid I can do nothing if I prescribe any medicine..."
The new moon was like a bolt from the blue, and rushed over and shook the imperial physician:
"What does it mean to be powerless? How can you be powerless? Imperial Doctor! You have excellent medical skills, please prescribe medicine quickly..."
"To be honest, he...he probably can't stand tonight!" said the Imperial Doctor.
"No..." Xinyue let out a torn scream and knelt down at the imperial physician. "Save him! Save him! Please save him..." She said and was about to kowtow.
"Not to do it! Nothing to do it!" The imperial physician rushed to pull her. "Prince, please get up!"
"Creen Moon!" Nudahai pulled her up and shook her hard. "Listen to me, it's not until the last moment, we should not give up. I think God has the virtue of being alive, and God should have eyes and keep Prince Duan's only root seedling, otherwise it would be too unreasonable! As for us, we cannot be desperate at this critical moment and collapse. The so-called doing our best, leaving our destiny! Let us do our best to do our best! I believe he will survive!" As he said that, he grabbed the Imperial Doctor again, "Imperial Doctor! Please don't give up easily! Good doctor treats diseases, God treats fate! I will give his illness to you, and his life to God!"
The imperial physician was told to be excited.
"Yes! I'll prescribe another prescription!"
Yunwa and Manggutai nodded anxiously, as if they saw a bright light in the darkness.
Xinyue stared at Nudahai in a daze, and under Nudahai's firm tone, she cheered up again.
It was a long night, and no one of the people who were guarding Keshan's bed had closed their eyes. The sound of the sound from afar came from afar, one update, two updates, three updates, four updates... Every breath of Keshan was so precious, and every beat of the pulse was the joy of everyone. Then, it was five updates. Then, it was dawn! Keshan survived the night! Everyone looked at each other, and everyone's eyes were red and swollen because of staying up late, but they were filled with tears from joy.
Next was another day, next was another night. Keshan breathed hard, never giving up his weak life. Whenever a new day came, everyone seemed to have won a arduous war together. However, there were even more arduous wars to continue.
Ten days have passed, and every day is dangerous, but every day has endured. Ten days later, Xinyue has become very thin and haggard. Nudahai has set a rule that everyone has to sleep in shifts to maintain physical strength. Xinyue also wants to abide by the rules, but she is too worried and nervous, so she cannot close her eyes at all. That night, she sat in a chair in front of Keshan's bed, unable to support her anymore, and fell asleep in a drowsy mood. Nudahai stood up gently, took a quilt, and gently covered Xinyue. Although Nudahai's movements were extremely light, Xinyue still rose up in shock and asked in panic:
"What's going on? What's going on with Keshan?"
"Shh!" Nudahai snorted, "He's fine, he's been sleeping all the time, but you don't have a good rest. What if you fall down too?"
She looked up at him. Her eyes were filled with gratitude, emotion, sadness and gratitude.
"If I fall down, it's for brotherhood, what about you?" she asked.
His heart pounded. He stared at the haggard face in front of him and his eyes that were as full as autumn water, and his emotions suddenly became thrilling and he couldn't help himself.
"I'm a wall of iron, I won't fall down." He said, completely answering the question.
"We are here now. Can you honestly answer me a question?" she suddenly said.
"What's the problem?" he was confused.
"You have never suffered from typhoid fever, have you?"
He was shocked, but he didn't expect her to ask this question. He was stunned and then reluctantly answered:
"Of course I've done it!"
"You don't!" She shook her head and looked at him with her eyes fixedly. "You can deceive everyone, but you can't deceive me! These days, I have watched your every move, you are diligent in washing your hands and disinfecting them, you have no idea about Keshan's symptoms... You have never caused typhoid fever at all!"
"I've caused it..." he said stubbornly.
She suddenly turned to him, grabbed his hand excitedly, and said anxiously in a tearful voice:
"Please be a real iron wall for me, because I am so scared... If you are infected, if you become Ke Shan like this, then what should I do? I can't live without Ke Shan or you! Please be for me, I will definitely not be infected... If you promise me, I will definitely not be infected."
Now all his arms disappeared and collapsed. He could no longer control himself, so he hugged her in his arms. He hugged her tightly and tightly. Feeling her trembling all over, his heart tangled into a ball.
"I promise you, I promise you, I promise you..." He shouted in a low voice, "Don't worry, I will live a good life for you! You will never lose me! I am a wall of iron, and I am invincible with all poisons!"
She opened her eyes wide and looked at him, with tears in her eyes. He stared at her intently, with a tremor in his heart. Death was wandering around them, and at this moment, they could not care about anything. Even if they could never recover, they could not care about it.
Three days later, the rash on Keshan's body disappeared. When Yunwa shouted excitedly:
"Grandpa! Come and see, the rash has receded! The rash has receded!"
Nudahai, Imperial Doctor, Manggutai, and Xinyue all rushed over to see him. The Imperial Doctor opened Keshan's clothes, checked carefully, and then measured his breathing, pulse, and body temperature.
"The rash has subsided, and the fever has subsided!" The imperial physician looked incredible. "It's so sincerity, the metal and stone are open! Congratulations to Princess, congratulations to Lord Nu! I think the young prince is no longer in danger of his life..."
Before the imperial physician could finish his words, the four people in front of the bed had already cheered, and Xinyue and Yunwa hugged each other in an endless manner, crying and laughing. With a "bangdong" Mangutai knelt down in front of the imperial physician, and bowed down.
"Manggutai kowtowed to the Imperial Doctor a few times, thank you, the Imperial Doctor! Thank you, the Imperial Doctor!"
As soon as he knelt like this, Yunwa knelt down. Xinyue immediately tidied up her clothes and was about to kneel down. Unexpectedly, after only two steps, she suddenly felt a dizzy turn, her eyes turned black, her legs became weak, and she fell down.
"Creen Moon!" Nudahai shouted, picked up Xin Moon and stared at her with a snow-white face, "Do not be infected... Doctor... Doctor... Check her quickly! Don't be infected... I don't allow it! I don't allow..."
When Xinyue woke up, she found herself lying in her room, sitting by the bed staring at her, Nudahai with a tender face.
"What's wrong with me?" she asked weakly, her mind a little dazed.
"You are just too tired and fainted when you are happy!" Nudahai gave her a bright smile. "But you really scared me. Fortunately, the doctor is by your side and immediately checked you... Don't worry, there is nothing, really!"
Xinyue looked at him blankly, still feeling dizzy and weak in her head. Suddenly, she became a little frightened. She glared at Nudahai nervously, and she said:
"Have you lie to me? Am I already infected?" She suddenly sat up from the bed and pushed him desperately with her hands, "Get out of here! Get away! Don't get close to me! I beg you...please..."
He hurriedly grabbed her hand with his hands.
"Lying down, don't move around! Have a good rest! Didn't I tell you? You were not infected, really, really..."
"I don't believe you!" she shouted, "You are so good at lying... You have never suffered from typhoid fever, you have also said you have caused you, you should go out quickly! I don't want you to be infected, it's much more serious than me... You go..."
"I didn't lie to you, I didn't lie," he shouted, "You're really just too tired..."
"No, no," she shook her head desperately, "You are lying! Keshan was like this at the beginning... I beg you, please leave Wangyue Xiaozhu, please, please..."
He grabbed her hand, but she struggled desperately, and she was trapped in a nervous state of mind. Nudahai was so anxious that he suddenly held her head with both hands and blocked her mouth with his lips.
The new moon suddenly stopped all struggles, and her mind was blank and she could not think of anything. She felt that her whole person had turned into a ball of light smoke and fog, rising, rising... and rising to the edge of the sky. Strangely, this ball of light smoke and fog was actually hot and soft. Moreover, like a ball of fireworks, exploding in the high sky, colorfully like rain.
It seemed like thousands or tens of thousands of years had passed, and the fireworks were always brilliant. Then, his lips slid from her lips to her ears:
