The Pearl of the Lady

Chapter 24

But Ah Fu only took a small bite of the spring rolls.

After breakfast, the three elder brothers all went to class.

Princess Hua'an checked Ah Fu over and over again. Seeing that Ah Fu was very energetic and lively, she could only think that Ah Fu had changed his taste, and ordered the maid to instruct the kitchen to research some new dishes suitable for children.

Ah Fu played all morning, and when he was listening to his mother telling stories on the bed, he felt restless and gnawed on his little finger. Princess Hua'an saw it and pulled it out for her, and she bit it again after a while.

Recently, Ah Fu learned to get off the ground, but instead of landing straight down, she rolled over and lay down on her stomach, slipping down little by little. It was the first time she got out of bed like this, which shocked Princess Hua'an, but she was quite I like to play like this, and I proudly showed it to my father and brother, which won the warm praise from the female controller's father, sister, and elder brother. Little Ah Fu raised his head proudly, the right Master Ah Fu is so powerful.

Ah Fu played all morning, and at noon the snow was getting heavier. Princess Hua'an ordered the kitchen to serve hot soup, and fed Ah Fu for a long time, but Ah Fu did not eat a few mouthfuls.

"Huh...huh..."

Princess Hua'an was taking a nap with her daughter in her arms, and felt the sound of panting getting louder and louder. She stretched out her hand to touch the child, and her body was hot.

"Call the imperial physician, and call Mr. Jiang, the Princess has a fever." She rolled over and sat up, and tucked the quilt tightly around Ah Fu.

"Floating and tight pulse, no sweat, fever."

"Cough and asthma, body aches and pains."

Several imperial physicians took the pulse carefully, and after discussing, they reported back, "Reporting to the Eldest Princess, this is a symptom of wind-cold, the weather has been cold recently, and the princess has suffered from the cold, so that's why."

"Is it serious?"

"The princess has always been in good health. First take three doses of medicine to reduce fever, and then take medicine for conditioning. It is advisable to talk about diet, drink a lot of water, and cold, greasy, greasy and fresh are not suitable for consumption."

The imperial doctor went down to prescribe prescriptions and decoctions. Jiang Huai stepped forward to look at Ah Fu, felt his pulse, and asked Ah Fu to stick out his tongue to show her, "Well, it's just the wind and cold. Princess just take care of it. It's not serious. Once the child is sick It will be better to get back to the body.”

Seeing Princess Hua'an frowned, he quickly explained: "It's true. I have been a doctor for so many years, and the children of ordinary people are stronger after recovering from illness."

But this time, both the imperial physician and Jianghuai made a mistake.

Ah Fu's fever has not gone down. After drinking the medicine, the temperature went down a little, and the fever came back after a while. Her small face quickly lost weight, and her face was flushed red under the quilt, and it was difficult to breathe. She was afraid of her mother and father. Anxious, it was the first time I was so obedient, no matter how bitter the medicine was, I swallowed it obediently, but it was still useless.

Princess Hua'an stayed by her daughter's bed and refused to move away. Gu Zhao had to take care of his wife and worry about his little daughter, and he hardly had a rest. It snowed heavily outside the window for three days without stopping, and the whole capital was completely white.

I have such a good mother and father, don’t worry, I’m just a little sleepy, I’ll play with you when I’m full of sleep. Sleepy, but as long as she has a little energy, she will smile obediently at mother and father, it's okay, I don't feel bad at all.

After trying various methods, Ah Fu finally got rid of the fever, but it doesn't mean she's getting better.

Ah Fu was very thin, and she still had a little baby fat on her face. She was still lacking energy, panting with difficulty, and drank bowl after bowl of bitter medicine.

This was the longest and saddest winter in Duke Gu's mansion.

"It's not a disease. Those imperial doctors and I have given the princess countless pulses. Although her pulse is weak, it is not a sign of illness."

"I don't want to hear this. I just want to know how Ah Fu can get better." Gu Zhao is also tired. He has to go to court, take care of his wife, and take care of his three sons. Most importantly, he is always worried about his little daughter. His face became paler and paler, as if he could be blown away by the wind.

"I don't know." Jiang Huai shook his head. "I can only tell you that from the pulse condition, there is no illness. But the princess's body is indeed getting weaker day by day."

"You are the most famous doctor in Jiangnan..."

"Yes, but...you can't save your life if you can save your illness."

Gu Zhao closed his eyes, as if he had been hit with a stick suddenly, almost jumping up suddenly, "If you can't save her, then..."

"It's useless for you to kill me. Those imperial doctors are not as good as me. I said so much to tell you that there is a similar example in a medical book handed down by my family. It was a prince from the previous dynasty. He gradually weakened. There was no doctor, but he survived, and it is said that a Taoist saved him."

"I'll look for it." Gu Zhao turned and walked out, obviously staggering when he passed the steps.

"I heard that no, the Duke of Gu's mansion is looking for a monk with medical skills?"

"I found out yesterday. It was written that there must be a re-report. The youngest son of my neighbor's family also became a monk in his early years. I wonder if I can give it a try?"

"It's so courageous. If there is a slight mistake in the noble family, hehe, the whole family will be buried with him."

"What you said is true, and I'll just say it casually. If you don't have any real skills, who would dare to come to your door?"

"..." Ah Fu stared at the big monk in front of him.

What is this for, father and mother, are you going to be feudal and superstitious? Do you want me to go up to the mountain to become a monk?No, it should be a nun who leads me to become a monk. Ah Fu's little head reverberated with the growth path of becoming a monk to practice martial arts, and wandering in the rivers and lakes. I feel that the whole person is not good.

The old and the young stared at each other for a long time.

"Master Xuanhui, Ah Fu, this is..." Princess Hua'an couldn't help asking.

"Amitabha, all living beings are suffering, all things are destined, you can't force it."

He touched Ah Fu's head, and put the rosary beside Ah Fu's pillow, "Everything in the world has its own arrangements and cannot be tampered with."

"Master Xuanhui..." Princess Hua'an could barely stand, her tone was full of pleading.

Master Xuanhui pondered for a long time, "My livelihood is endless, and the turning point does not depend on me."

Master Xuanhui left, Ah Fu’s illness is still not healed, her cough and shortness of breath has improved a little bit, her breathing has become easier, but she has not recovered, she is still so thin and small, lying on the bed, and the time of drowsiness is getting more and more longer.
