Chapter 1128: Chapter 1125: Physician-in-Chief Lu
“I was just joking,” Ye Muyu whispered softly.
Chu Heng sighed lightly, and seeing that she was frightened, his voice softened involuntarily, “e on, get up, find a stool to sit on. Squatting will make your legs weak.”
“I understand your intentions and will not let you down.”
When Ye Muyu saw him willingly change the subject, she naturally did not dwell on the previous conversation, patting her face and dispersing the heat.
She nodded to herself, busily arranging her personal items and tidying up the soft couch.
It was not long before Lu Sangqi arrived.
...
Upon seeing Ye Muyu there, he jumped in surprise, “Why are you here? It’s so dangerous.”
“I just came to see, it’s not a bother. Is your medicine ready? I’ve had some medicinal herbs prepared and sent to the clinic this time.”
“I’ve been busy preparing the medicine for Chu Heng since I got up, and haven’t gone to the clinic yet.” That’s why Lu Sangqi had no idea Ye Muyu was here. Hearing her speak so casually, he didn’t know whether to be angry or happy that she was a person of great loyalty.
He merely grunted towards Chu Heng, “Brother Chu, e here, let me take your pulse first.”
“Check Ah Yu first,” Chu Heng insisted.
Lu Sangqi muttered to himself that this was more like it, turned around, and approached Ye Muyu to take her pulse.
Ye Muyu cooperated fully, knowing that resistance was futile, and naturally, it was better to avoid the illness if possible.
After a while, Lu Sangqi withdrew his hand, “No problem for now, I’ll have someone send you preventative medicine in a bit.”
“Thank you.”
After Chu Heng was examined and had taken his medicine, Lu Sangqi recorded the circumstances before leaving.
All morning.
Ye Muyu stayed idle in the house, only managing to take a cloth to clean every corner of the room and wipe it down again with disinfectant.
Not only that, but the books he was reading also needed cleaning.
After wiping them, she aired them out at the window where there was some sunlight, and soon they would dry.
Chu Heng advised her several times to rest, but seeing that it was no use, he simply helped her.
Meanwhile, Lu Sangqi ran back to the clinic, and indeed, from the mouths of others, he learned about the batch of medicinal herbs that had been transported, which came just at the critical moment.
That afternoon.
The imperial physicians dispatched from the capital arrived.
Lu Sangqi did not go to greet them, still busy in the courtyard, needing to care for the seriously ill, as well as Chu Heng, being on his feet all day.
When Physician-in-Chief Lu arrived, he saw his grandson’s busy figure in the courtyard.
“Physician-in-Chief Lu, this is Doctor Lu. e to think of it, he shares your surname too. Who knows, counting back many generations, they might even be relatives. His treatment instructions for the epidemic are quite effective; those with lighter symptoms are already starting to recover,” said the official in charge of the hospital, smiling, relieved that curing the epidemic meant he too could leave South State alive.
Physician-in-Chief Lu blew his beard, “This is my grandson.”
“What?”
“This kid hasn’t talked about his family background?” pride, unnoticed even by himself, echoed in Physician-in-Chief Lu’s voice.
“No, Doctor Lu was brought in by Lord Chu, no one knew his background, but with Lord Chu being so capable, it’s only natural his associates are extraordinary too.”
“Hold on, did you just say, this kid has developed instructions for treating the epidemic?” Physician-in-Chief Lu, catching on, widened his eyes, somewhat incredulous. After all, there had been many epidemics over the years, but there had been no cure, and as a result, each outbreak had been devastating.
“Yes,” the official nodded eagerly, “If not for this, South State would have already descended into chaos.”
