This is epilepsy! How could Shen Yue 'er have such an illness?
Ye Zhen didn't have time to think about it. She hurriedly stuffed a ball of medicine into Shen Yue 'er's mouth and turned back to take out silver needles from the medicine box. "Hong Ying, hold Yue' er's shoulder."
Shen Yue 'er kept twitching. Even though Hong Ying had learned martial arts, she still couldn't hold her tightly.
Murong Ke came over and reached out to hold Shen Yue 'er. "Let me."
Ye Zhen looked at him faintly, bowed her head, and pricked Shen Yue 'er with a few needles. After a while, Shen Yue' er finally calmed down.
"Miss, is Yue 'er okay?" Hong Ying looked at Shen Yue' er's pale face and asked worriedly.
"She has epilepsy, don't you know?" Ye Zhen looked up at Murong Ke. If Shen Yuexuan were here, she would definitely scold him. His daughter couldn't travel far with such an illness. What if she got sick on the road?
Murong Ke's face was gloomy. "I've never heard Shen Yuexuan mention it."
Outside the door, two middle-aged men and women were watching. "We heard a loud cry. Guests, are you all right?"
Ye Zhen said to them, "We're fine. Aunty Huang, can you boil a pot of water for us?"
Aunty Huang nodded and said, "I'll boil the water right away."
"Uncle Huang, is there a pharmacy in your village?" Ye Zhen asked.
"There is only one old doctor in our village. Miss, do you want to call a doctor?" Uncle Huang asked.
Ye Zhen said, "We just want to buy some medicine."
Uncle Huang smiled. "That's simple. Our herbs are all collected in the mountains by ourselves. What medicine do you want? I'll bring it for you."
"Thank you, Uncle Huang." Ye Zhen wrote down a few names of herbs and handed them to him. Her medicine box actually had some medicine, but she had missed a few, all of which were relatively common and could be collected in the mountains.
Murong Ke glanced at Shen Yue 'er and asked Ye Zhen in a low voice, "Can her illness be cured?"
"Does Shen Yuexuan have such an illness?" Ye Zhen asked. She felt that Shen Yue 'er's epilepsy should have been born in her mother's womb, but she didn't know if she inherited it from her mother or father.
"I've never seen him act up," Murong Ke said indifferently, his eyes lingering on her delicate face.
Ye Zhen's mind was completely focused on Shen Xuan 'er. Her anger towards Murong Ke was temporarily left behind. "That may be her mother's problem … I can't cure her illness in a few days. I can only make sure she doesn't get sick again."
"Return to the capital and send her safely back to the Shen family." Murong Ke said, "I'll wait outside for Uncle Huang to bring the medicine."
Ye Zhen looked at him faintly, lowered her head and did not speak.
Because of Shen Xuan 'er's sudden attack, Ye Zhen took care of her until midnight. It was not until Shen Xuan' er woke up that she was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.
Hong Ying came in with the medicine and whispered to Ye Zhen, "Miss, Master Murong is still outside."
When Ye Zhen heard Murong Ke outside, her eyebrows wrinkled slightly. "Drink the medicine, then blow out the lamp and go to sleep."
"Yes, Miss." Hong Ying looked at her hesitantly. After feeding Shen Xuan 'er the medicine, she blew out the only oil lamp in the room.
When Murong Ke saw the light in the window dim, a faint smile appeared on his lips. But when he remembered what she had just said, his expression turned cold again.
Is she engaged?
Murong Ke looked at the dark room. When he wanted a woman, would he care whether she was engaged or not? He just didn't want to scare her too much. It would be best if they could be in love with each other, but if not …
There was nothing he couldn't do if he wanted to do it.
…
…
The next day, the heavy snow outside had just stopped. The snow on the ground was thick, and the pedestrians on the official road were almost gone. It was difficult to walk in such a snowy place. If Shen Xuan 'er hadn't fallen ill, Ye Zhen really wanted to leave. Even if she couldn't find a place to stay at night, she didn't want to continue to get along with Murong Ke.
"Sister Lu, did I scare you?" Shen Xuan 'er was half lying on the kang, her small face full of guilt.
Ye Zhen touched her head. "No, Xuan 'er, how long will it take for your illness to flare up?"
"I haven't had an attack for half a year. Father said that it has been cured." Shen Xuan 'er's eyes were red. "Grandmother said that my mother fell into the lake and drowned because of this disease. Sister, will I die in the future?"
"No, I will find a way to cure you." Ye Zhen said with a smile, thinking that it would take a long time to cure the disease. She didn't know if she would recover faster with the help of the spirit spring.
Shen Xuan 'er started sobbing. "Big Sister Lu, you're such a nice person. Those people stopped playing with me after seeing my illness. They even avoided me when they saw me. Even my grandmother said that I'm a jinx. Boohoo …"
How could she say such words in front of a child? The servants of the Shen family must not treat Shen Xuan 'er well. Moreover, there was no proper mistress in the Shen family. Naturally, they had to look at the old madam's face in everything. If the old madam didn't like her own granddaughter, would others still treat Shen Xuan' er as a master?
"How can you be a jinx? This is just a small illness. As long as the right medicine is prescribed, it will be cured." Ye Zhen said softly and hugged Shen Xuan 'er in her arms to comfort her. "You will be obedient along the way. Sister Lu will cure your illness, and you will not be like your mother."
"Thank you, Sister Lu." Shen Xuan 'er said gratefully. Even if her illness could not be cured, she felt very comforted. Since her mother's death, Sister Lu was the first person who still liked her after seeing her illness and was willing to hug her to comfort her.
Ye Zhen helped her lie down. "You just took the medicine. Sleep for a while. You can't go out today."
Shen Xuan 'er was willing to listen to Ye Zhen now. "Okay."
Watching Shen Xuan 'er fall asleep, Ye Zhen tucked her back, got up and walked out of the room.
As soon as she walked out, she saw Murong Ke leaning against the door. She turned around and wanted to walk back.
Murong Ke reached out, grabbed her arm and gently brought her out. "Are you going to avoid me for the rest of your life?"
"How can that be? I won't have to see you in two days." Ye Zhen said lightly, "Let me go."
"You don't think … I will let you go to the capital alone, do you?" Murong Ke chuckled.
Ye Zhen frowned at him. "What do you want?"
"Can you really cure Shen Xuan 'er's illness?" Murong Ke didn't answer her. He had just heard what she said to Shen Xuan 'er outside the door. Shen Yuexuan couldn't find a doctor to cure Shen Xuan' er's illness for so many years. Could a little girl like her really cure the illness?
