Chapter 64 Epidemic
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather gradually turned cold, and the first snow of the year fell even before winter entered.

"Mom, come and see, it's snowing!"

Lin'er ran into the courtyard with a happy face, and raised two chubby hands, trying to catch the snow.

Shen Ruo followed slowly, and kept telling: "Run slower, don't fall! Little Shitou, go and add some clothes to Xiao Shizi, don't... cough cough cough!"

As she was speaking, she was interrupted by an uncontrollable cough, and a thick white fox cloak was wrapped around her body, and a low and worried voice came from behind: "You still said Lin'er, you didn't take care of your body. "

She turned around, and as soon as she opened her mouth, there was another coughing sound, and the people behind her quickly patted her on the back, and after a while, she calmed down and said, "How about you? Are you all right?"

A while ago, when the cold wind turned, Xiao Chen suffered from the cold directly. She directed the servants to soak him in medicinal baths and give him acupuncture and moxibustion massage, so that the cold was suppressed.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help smiling: "In this mansion, there are really two sick people. Maybe during the Chinese New Year, we should go to the temple to worship and get rid of the bad luck."

Xiao Chen saw that she was still in the mood for joking, so his mood eased up a bit, but seeing that her complexion was very bad, he couldn't help frowning, so he asked his servants to bring over Mrs. Tang, he took it, and stuffed it into her arms: "Take it well." Come on, don't catch a cold."

It's just that his hand just touched Shen Ruo's, and she grabbed it immediately: "Why is it still so cold?"

She grabbed him and walked into the house: "What a nonsense, you are recovering from your illness, why are you running out to blow the wind? Are you dying?"

Listening to the chatter of the people in front, Xiao Chen didn't realize that the smile on his face was deepening.

Back in the house, Shen Ruo immediately asked his servants to bring in two stoves. The windows were only opened slightly, and the temperature in the house quickly rose.

She grabbed Xiao Chen's hand again, touched it, and made sure it wasn't so cold, then she breathed a sigh of relief, sat on the wooden bench in the middle of the room, and poured herself a cup of hot tea: "If you don't love yourself like this again body, I will consider adding those medicinal materials sent by the second prince to your recipe."

Xiao Chen thought of the antler and blood bullwhip that the second elder brother sent him from the palace immediately after the imperial physician's consultation that day, his face turned black, and the corners of his eyes twitched uncontrollably.

Seeing his appearance, Shen Ruo felt better, and gloated: "You should be happy, you have a good brother who cares about you so much."

Xiao Chen glared at her, but didn't speak.

In the evening, the snow fell even more heavily, and Lin'er, who had been clamoring to build a snowman, fell ill immediately, her little face flushed, but she kept shouting for being cold.

Shen Ruo touched his forehead, and it was as hot as a stove: "No! Lin'er has a high fever."

When Mammy heard this, she quickly blamed herself: "It's all because the old slave didn't persuade me, and let the little prince play in the snow for so long."

"By the way, Hongyu, quickly ask the kitchen to bring some high-quality wine and wipe Xiaoshizi's body to cool down."

But Shen Ruo stopped him: "No, Lin'er is too young, rubbing high alcohol will damage the skin, and it is easy to catch cold, just wipe off the sweat with warm water."

As he said that, Shen Ruo asked his servants to get some medicine and came back. If Lin'er's high fever persisted, he could only rely on medicine to bring it down.

Xiao Chen was also very worried about Lin'er's situation, but seeing that Shen Ruo had been taking care of Lin'er by the bed without pretending to be someone else, he was even more anxious and worried, so he couldn't help persuading: "It's getting late, you I'm not in good health, I'd better leave the matter to the servants, go back and rest first."

"No, Lin'er is too young, and it's easy to get a fever and burn out his brain. I have to watch from the side."

Shen Ruo took the wet wipes handed over by the nanny, and carefully cooled Lin'er over and over again. It was clear that her face was almost as white as paper, but her eyes were extremely firm and gentle.

It is the first time that Xiao Chen understands this word so deeply.

He lost his mother since he was a child, and lived in the cold palace suffering from hunger and cold. What he hated the most was winter, because at this time, he was only cold and helpless and himself.

If his mother and concubine were still alive, wouldn't she also be like Shen Ruo, who eagerly guarded his bedside when he had a fever and fell into a coma?

Looking at the weak but resolute figure in front of him, Xiao Chen's eyes could not help but change, soft and affectionate.

Shen Ruo didn't know these things, although she looked calm, but she was anxious in her heart.

It has been almost two hours since Lin'er had a fever. No physical cooling has been done, but the temperature is still around 38 degrees, and it can't be lowered no matter what.

If this continues, Lin'er's body won't be able to hold on.

Shen Ruo pursed her lips: "Hongyu, have you got all the medicine I asked you to take?"

"Your Majesty, this heat-dissipating medicine is extremely potent, and I'm afraid I won't be able to stand it." Qin Nanny had stayed in the palace for a long time, and knew a thing or two about medicine.

"I can't control this much anymore. If the fever doesn't subside, Lin'er will be burnt into a fool."

Shen Ruo insisted on ordering the medicine, and told the servants not to boil the medicine soup, but also asked for a medicine pestle and a medicine mortar, pretending to make medicine powder, but actually throwing it into the space, extracting the active ingredients, skimming off the impurities, and making pills, Feed it to Lin'er.

After taking the medicine, Lin'er's high fever subsided quickly, and Shen Ruo was relieved, then suddenly lost strength and became dizzy, and immediately staggered a step, and was supported by someone: "Are you okay?"

She grabbed the skirt of the visitor's chest and panted slightly. It took a while for the darkness in front of her eyes to recede. She subconsciously wanted to shake her head, but was hugged horizontally.

"Ah! Xiao Chen, what are you doing?"

She was so startled that she quickly put her arms around Xiao Chen's neck, but he hugged him and strode out the door: "Take you to rest."

"I don't need to rest. Lin'er is not completely out of danger yet. Maybe after the effect of the medicine wears off, he will get burned again. I want to watch from the side."

However, Xiao Chen completely ignored her words, and acted extremely domineeringly: "There are so many people in the house, do you have to be the only one? In short, you must rest, but Bie Lin'er is still not well, you have fallen down again."

After saying that, the two returned to the main courtyard, Xiao Chen put the man on the bed, then rolled over on the bed, and locked him in his arms.

Shen Ruo's eyes were about to burst into flames, and he stared him out of the hole: "What are you doing?"

However, Xiao Chen just pressed her head into his arms, closed his eyes, and said calmly: "Sleep."

Shen Ruo stared at him angrily, but the other party heard a gentle breathing sound, but her own eyes were staring dry and astringent, and finally she gradually became sleepy, and fell asleep in Xiao Chen's arms.

But just after waking up the next day, Mother Qin came to report that Lin'er had a fever again, even accompanied by the symptoms of dyspnea. Shen Ruo didn't care about other things, and hurried to Qingyun Hospital again.

In this way, for several days in a row, Lin'er had a high fever repeatedly. Shen Ruo was anxious and had no choice but to change the medicine one after another.

What's worse is that one after another people in the mansion began to faint and have a fever. Shen Ruo immediately realized that this is not a simple disease, but a highly contagious disease!
