Chapter 400 Don’t be afraid

Author: Feng Chuxiao

Zhou Yang felt guilty and felt that he should not threaten a child verbally.

However, Lu Xiuge felt that Chen Luxing's high fever could not be blamed on Zhou Yang for scaring him. He could only say that Chen Luxing happened to be suffering from cold, and being frightened like this scared him out of his illness.

It's just that it's freezing outside, there's no medicine, and there's no imperial doctor. Lu Shege doesn't dare to take it lightly.

Chen Luxing was ill, and Lu Sheige's trip to Jiangjiaba was completely over. Without people, the rewards from the Queen Mother, the Emperor, and others, as well as the gifts prepared by Lu Shege himself, still had to be sent.

Otherwise, the Lu family who knew that she was going back to Jiangjiaba on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year would be worried.

The carriages and horses were very slow and the transportation was inconvenient. She didn't want anyone from the Lu family to take the risk of going to Beijing to look for her in this winter.

Lu Sheige didn't even have time to write a letter to the Lu family to explain. He only hurriedly called Chen Xiaohu to give a few instructions.

As for Chen Yuan, who was so frightened that she hid in the corner without uttering a word, Lu Xiange seemed to have forgotten about it and did not let her follow Chen Xiaohu.

Chen Yuan couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Lu Shege said a few words to Captain Chen through the window and asked him to set off quickly.

She didn't dare to say that she wanted to go to Jiangjiaba. At this moment, she didn't want to go to any unlucky place. Now Chen Yuan just wanted to know that if the prince was sick, would she, the princess who got into the box with the prince, be unlucky?

Will it be like General Zhou said, if the princess breaks the law and the common people are guilty, will she be deprived of the princess's portrait? Will she be exiled? Will she be beheaded?

The more Chen Yuan thought about it, the more frightened she became. She hid her whole body under the quilt without even daring to expose her head.

It wasn't until Lu Xiangge arranged for Chen Luxing and asked Wanzhao to take a look at Chen Yuan that he realized that the little girl was getting hot whenever she was frightened.

It was still more than an hour away from the capital, and both children were sick.

Lu Xiangge did not dare to rush back to the capital, and hurriedly ordered Zhou Yang to rush to a nearby town first.

No matter what, I have to find a doctor first and give the two children medicine. Otherwise, if they burn the children like this, their brains will be burned out.

Lu Sheige's one hundred bodyguards were divided among Chen Xiaohu's fifty men to escort six carriages to Jiangjiaba.

Here, Zhou Yang ordered people to go to the palace to report the news to the emperor, and then took more than 300 guards to protect the prince and the two princesses and rushed to the nearest town.

The nearest town to them is called Tangyi. Tangyi is just a small town. It only takes a quarter of an hour to walk to the end of a long street.

As soon as the princess's car entered the town, people immediately popped their heads to take a look.

The carriage was surrounded by hundreds of guards wearing armor and holding broadswords. The broadswords emitted a dazzling cold light under the refraction of the white snow.

Those who are brave can still open the door and take a look. Those who are timid can close the door and hide in the house, not even daring to make a sound.

Tangyi is a small town with only one small drugstore, and the only things that are always available in the store are some prescriptions for treating colds or injuries.

The old doctor who originally opened the shop was old and blind and had stopped treating people for a long time. Now it is his son who is looking after the shop. He only knows how to prepare prescriptions and medicines, but does not know how to treat illnesses and save lives.

Lu Sheige had no choice but to write the prescription himself and watch the shopkeeper personally to pick up the medicine.

If he didn't catch any medicinal materials, Lu Sheige took them over and inspected them carefully. Only when he confirmed that there were no problems, did he let someone take them and put them away.

The shopkeeper of the drugstore had never seen anyone come to his store to buy medicine with hundreds of guards.

I couldn't help but tremble with fear. Not to mention taking medicine, I couldn't even speak, and I couldn't stand firm.

Lu Xiangge was in a hurry to grab the medicine. Seeing how frightened he was, he had no choice but to calm down and said, "If you can't do it, I'll let my maid take it, okay?"

Hearing that they could catch them themselves, the drugstore shopkeeper hurriedly moved his hands and feet to the side and gave way.

Lu Sheige didn't bother anyone else, he took the medicine list and took the medicine himself.

Although the medicine cabinet is tall, it is not full, and each drawer is labeled with the name of the medicinal materials inside.

Lu Sheige only needed to open the drawer according to the name and take out the needed medicinal materials and weigh them.

Sometimes, if a certain medicine is not available, we have to find a way to temporarily change the prescription and substitute another one.

After finally grabbing two doses of medicine, Lu Sheige carefully identified them and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with them. Wan Zhao hurriedly took them and went down to brew the medicine.

The shopkeeper, who was standing aside and watching Lu Sheige take the medicine, trembled and asked, "Please, may I ask this lady, please?"

He grew up in a small town and had never seen an eldest lady come out with hundreds of soldiers.

"alright."

Lu Sheige placed the prescription he had just written on the counter, and pressed a piece of broken silver on it.

"This is the prescription I used today. You can take a look at it to treat children with wind and cold. There is also this silver coin, which is the cost of the medicine. If there is more, it will be compensated. Sorry to bother you."

Seeing the pleasant look on the face of the young lady who was taking the medicine, the shopkeeper became more courageous and said hurriedly: "Thank you very much, madam. Why don't I ask my family members to make some hot cakes for you?"

"Need not."

Lu Sheige shook his head and refused, then turned around and went out and got into the carriage.

Wan Zhao was careful and did not dare to borrow the medicine jar from the store. The jar used to brew the medicine was the same pottery pot used by Lu Sheige to make tea.

In order to avoid being exposed to the fumes of the medicine, she moved the stove to a carriage behind to cook it.

In the car where Lu Sige was sitting, Qingkong was sitting on his knees beside him, constantly wiping the foreheads, necks, hands and feet of the two children with cloths washed with hot water.

"how's it going?"

Qingkong replied without looking back: "It seems to be hotter to the touch."

Lu Sheige approached and squatted down to touch Chen Luxing's head. The little guy opened his big misty eyes and looked at her, raised his hand and grabbed Lu Shege's hand and whispered: "Auntie."

"Auntie is here, don't be afraid."

"I'm not afraid." Chen Luxing had a smile on his face.

"Well, you're so good." Lu Sheige took off his shoes, got into bed, and held Chen Luxing in his arms.

"Sister Wanzhao is going to make some medicine for you. After you drink the medicine later, you can sleep again and then we will go to the palace and meet your grandmother and your father, queen and queen."

Hearing his aunt mention his father and queen, Chen Luxing clenched his hands worriedly: "Aunt, will my father, queen and mother scold me?"

His eyes were full of longing, he really wanted to hear his aunt say, if they scold you, your aunt will protect you.

But after waiting for a long time, he only heard his aunt say quietly: "Of course you will be scolded if you do something wrong, but when you get better, aunt can make you delicious food, something you have never eaten before, okay?"

Compared with scolding, being able to eat delicious food barely calmed Chen Luxing's fear.

Finally, after Wanzhao had finished brewing the medicine, he brought two medicine bowls over.

Perhaps the two children knew that what they did today was wrong, so they didn't act coquettishly, and they didn't mind the pain. They hugged the bowl, closed their eyes, and swallowed the concoction one mouthful at a time.

Chen Luxing ate three candied fruits in a row before he could barely suppress the bitter taste in his mouth.
