Views:

Ji Man stretched and got up, and Tan Xiang came over with a serious face to help her change and wash. Recently, the two masters and servants have become more well-behaved, which made Ji Man feel at ease. In addition, Mo Yuhou hardly saw anyone, and every room and courtyard was very polite when they saw her, and they would not touch her easily, let her The day was really easy for a while.

Er Rong also came to see her when she was free, but she seemed to be not feeling well, coughing all the time.

"Caught a cold?" Ji Man asked while holding her hand.

Errong sniffed and said, "I don't know what's going on. I went to burn incense outside the city half a month ago, and it became like this within a few days after I came back. I saw the doctor and couldn't tell why, so let me take good care of it." .If it weren't for your precious body, I wouldn't worry about going to see it, Qingyun won't let me go out yet."

Ji Man looked at her face, it was a little blue, and there were two bright red patches on her cheeks. Touching the forehead, sometimes I feel that it is a high fever, but when I touch it again, it is cold again.

"I happen to have an imperial doctor here, let me show you." Ji Man said worriedly: "Recently, many servant girls in the mansion have fallen ill, and they were all sent out of the mansion by the old lady."

The imperial concubine pointed out that the imperial doctor who came over had been taking care of her daily life and eating, so it was convenient to come over to see Er Rong, so Er Rong agreed.

As a result, as soon as the imperial doctor came, it took more than half an hour to see, hear and ask, and finally said with a serious face: "Madam Nie, please go to the outer courtyard first, Madam, don't come with me, let the servant girl fetch hot water, and wash your hands first."

Ji Man doesn't sound right, why does this feel like Er Rong has some infectious disease

Be careful, after washing up as ordered by the imperial doctor, she waited in the room.

After the imperial doctor made the diagnosis, he didn't come back to tell her the result, but ordered someone to inform the old lady. Everyone in the house suddenly became nervous.

Ning Errong suffered from smallpox.

Recently, many people outside the city were infected with smallpox. At the beginning, no one noticed it. Later, some people died gradually, which attracted the attention of the government. This imperial doctor Lin had treated smallpox, so he understood the symptoms that ordinary doctors don't know.

Smallpox is equivalent to a chronic death disease in this era, which is simply distasteful. However, it was obvious that Er Rong had just contracted the infection not long ago, and there were no obvious symptoms yet.

"This disease is contagious, and everyone who comes into contact with it is susceptible to smallpox." Doctor Lin said with a serious face: "There was an infected maid in the mansion recently. Fortunately, the old lady was wise and sent her out of the mansion. As for Mrs. Nie, you should hurry up Send someone back to the Nie Mansion, don't contact anyone, leave two servant girls to serve, and then go to the palace to invite Imperial Physician Qian."

The old lady was very nervous, and quickly asked: "Sang Yu also has contact with Er Rong, will he contract this disease?"

Doctor Lin said: "Madam and Madam Nie don't have much contact. Whether you get infected or not depends on fate. The old man will always stay in Feiwan Pavilion to observe Madam. If there is no smallpox symptom, it will be regarded as dodged."

Everyone in the room fell silent, Ji Man sat aside, and Qi Siling and Jin Se next to her subconsciously moved away from her.

This is really a disaster from heaven, Ji Man curled his lips, he was doing well, but it turned out to be a mess again.

If it were her previous body, she was born with pox, so how could she get smallpox. But Nie Sangyu's body is not certain.

The old lady sighed twice, and someone sent her back to Feiwan Pavilion. Doctor Lin boiled the potion, asked Wen Wan and Sandalwood to hold it, and sprinkled it all over Feiwan Pavilion. Then he just had to wait and see if Jiman would have any symptoms after ten days.

"Doctor, what does a person who has smallpox look like?" Wen Wan asked with a smile.

Doctor Lin said with a straight face: "Smallpox will cause chills or high fever, nausea and vomiting, insomnia, and rashes after ten days. Madam is still pregnant. Smallpox is too dangerous for her. If you are not careful, you will have a miscarriage, and there is a possibility of one dead body and two lives."

"Really?" Wen Wan smiled.

Doctor Lin took a look at her, Wen Wan felt that her tone shouldn't be so happy, she quickly lowered her eyes and said: "The slave will be careful."

In the evening Ning Yuxuan went back to the mansion, heard about the smallpox incident, was sprayed with potion as soon as he entered the door, then changed his clothes and went to Feiwan Pavilion.

"Hou Ye." Wen Wan went up to meet him, and quickly stopped him, saying: "The imperial doctor said that Madam may have smallpox, you should not go in."

Ning Yuxuan pursed her lips slightly, leaned against the door and looked at Wen Wan and said, "Isn't it okay now? She might not be really infected."

"Then Hou Ye can't take risks, just to see Madam?" Wen Wan's face darkened: "Is there anything I can't convey for you?"

Mo Yuhou smiled lowly: "Why are you so serious, I just stopped by to take a look. If I can't look, then I will leave."

"Master Hou." Wen Wan hurriedly pulled him: "I haven't seen anyone these days, and I have a lot to tell you. Why do you always avoid me?"

Ning Yuxuan stopped and said, "You're thinking too much, there's also smallpox in the palace recently, I'm just a little busy, let's have a good talk after we're done."

Wen Wan bit her lip unwillingly, but could only let go of Ning Yuxuan and watched him stride away.

Jiman was in the room recalling the knowledge of high school biology class. She remembered that there was a question about smallpox in the college entrance examination back then, saying that it was transmitted through droplets and direct contact. Today when Er Rong came to see her, she covered her mouth when she coughed, the chance of infection by droplets should be very small, and direct contact is even less possible, and it is impossible to infect her by holding hands.

So no matter how you look at it, it is impossible for her to get smallpox.

But obviously, this incident will give many people an opportunity. Smallpox can easily kill two pregnant women, and she would choose this time to attack herself.

She is now waiting to see what happens.

Going to bed at night, Ji Man pulled the quilt away and fell asleep as usual, but when he fell asleep, he suddenly felt something fluffy and still moving on the bed.

Taking a deep breath, she endured it and didn't cry out. She just got out of bed calmly, then lit the lamp, and opened the quilt to have a look.

A stray cat was curled up under her quilt, looking at her with innocent eyes.

Ji Man heaved a sigh of relief, it wasn't anything scary, it was just a cat.

However, Nie Sangyu was allergic to animal fur, and a rash appeared on her body the next day.

Ji Man covered the rash on his body tightly, as if nothing happened, went out and asked Wen Wan: "Why did a cat enter my house?"

Wen Wan looked blank: "What cat?"

Jiman smiled: "The wild cat, maybe it crawled in through the window. Fortunately, I quite like cats, but it was a little dirty, so I let it out. Remember, cats are fine, I don't care about cats anyway. Not afraid, but don't put flowers in my house, I'm allergic to pollen."

Wen Wan glanced at her in surprise and nodded.

Ji Man secretly asked Doctor Lin for a prescription for allergies, but told him not to tell Wen Wan what to do. Imperial doctor Lin is the imperial concubine's confidant, so naturally he helped her wholeheartedly, so he agreed immediately.

After a few days, Ji Man's rash disappeared, but her soft pillow was stuffed with a lot of fresh flower petals, and she slept very softly, Ji Man sneered, and asked the imperial doctor for a prescription the next day , Said it was a medicine to prevent infection, asked the imperial doctor to drink both Wen Wan and sandalwood.

On the tenth day, Ji Man was fine, and the imperial doctor lifted the access control of Feiwan Pavilion, saying that she was not infected with smallpox. But Wen Wan and Sandalwood had rashes on their bodies.

"It's best to send these two maids out of the house to avoid infection." Doctor Lin said: "Rash is also one of the symptoms of smallpox."

The old lady was happy, but Wen Wan and Tan Xiang's faces were pale, how could they have smallpox, and they have never been out of the house.

Wu looked at Wen Wan with a smile, and said, "Butcher Zhang is also infected with smallpox, alas, maybe it's just a coincidence."

Wen Wan shook her head vigorously, being restrained by several servants, she subconsciously glanced at Qian Lianxue.

Qian Lianxue, who had always been weak, unexpectedly recovered in this sensitive period, and sat on the side without saying a word, let alone looking at Wen Wan.

Wen Wan was in a hurry, and Mo Yuhou was not around, so she could only say: "I don't have smallpox, it's at most an allergy, it should be because I ate something that shouldn't be eaten, or touched something that shouldn't be touched, really. It's not smallpox!"

"So you know that the symptoms of allergies are similar to smallpox." Ji Man stood looking at her from a distance, and covered her mouth and nose in disgust: "I pretended that you didn't know, I told you that I was allergic to pollen, you It took so much pains to stuff flowers into my pillow."

Wen Wan's face froze, only then did she realize that she had tricked her, and said viciously: "You vicious woman!"

Could it be that she is vicious? Ji Man smiled: "What did I do?"

"You..." Wen Wan knew that her rash must be caused by her, but there was no proof!

"Old madam, send her to the other courtyard too." Ji Man turned her head and said to the old madam, "Shuiqing must be very lonely in the other courtyard, besides, Lord Hou always loves Wan'er, if she is really expelled from the house, Lord Hou It’s not easy to explain when you come back.”

Wen Wan faintly heard Ji Man's words, and opened her eyes wide in horror: "No!"

She doesn't want to be with that crazy woman, she might as well be kicked out of the house and live outside!

The old lady thought about it and thought it was right, so she ordered: "Send these two maidservants to another courtyard."

The other sick maidservants were sent directly to the countryside. Sending them to another hospital was enough to give Hou Ye face.

Ji Man smiled and watched Wen Wan being dragged away screaming, then turned to Aunt Xue and said, "Look at Lian Xue, why is her eyes looking at you all the time."

Qian Lianxue sat leaning against the chair, said with a faint smile: "My sister is dazzled, Lianxue and Miss Wan'er have never been friendly, she should be looking at you."

"That's it." Ji Man nodded: "Lianxue, you are weak, and smallpox has been rampant recently, so you should avoid it."

"Thank you, sister, for your concern." Qian Lianxue turned her head lightly, looking completely out of the ordinary.

Ji Man looked at her for a long time, then shook his head, this woman is really invulnerable, no one can catch her at all.
