Don't disturb me, I won't be a concubine

After comforting Da Niu and waiting for him to fall asleep, Dong Jiafu came out of the tent.

As soon as she came out, she could no longer hold back her tears, and they soaked the silk cloth on her face.

"Is it because of Daniel?"

Dong Jiafu turned around and saw Cui Qiyan appearing from nowhere. She hadn't had time to wash her hands yet, so she couldn't wipe her tears. She could only ask him with tearful eyes, "You also know that Daniu has been infected with the plague?"

Cui Qiyan stretched out his hands behind his back and gently wiped her tears.

Dong Jiafu blinked and asked, "Why do you have a handkerchief on you?"

"I just brought it to you," Cui Qiyan wiped her tears carefully, "I watched Daniu go in, and I thought you would be sad after knowing it."

"Daniu's parents died in the flood, and his grandfather took him all the way to the capital. In order to keep him alive, his grandfather gave him all the food. He was tired and hungry, and passed away just after arriving in the capital. Now he is infected with the plague again, it's really too pitiful..." Dong Jiafu choked up.

She heard about Daniu's life story from people in the Imperial Hospital.

"Don't be too sad. Even if he is infected with the plague, there is still a chance of recovery. I believe he will survive."

Dong Jiafu took a deep breath and cheered herself up, "You're right, I promised Daniu that I would not let anything happen to him."

Dong Jiafu brought dinner to Daniu. He had no appetite and ate a small bowl of rice porridge. Dong Jiafu talked with him for a while, and seeing that he was really tired, she let him lie down and continue to sleep.

Xiuniang's bed was next to Daniu. She whispered to Dong Jiafu, "Miss Dong, you've been tired all day. Go back and rest early. I'll take care of the child."

Dong Jiafu stood up and said, "Thank you, Xiuniang."

"Hey, what's the big deal? My son is about the same age as Daniu. When I see him, I always think of my son. I hope that no matter where he is, he can meet a kind person like Miss Dong."

"Yes, everything will be fine."

After Dong Jiafu came out, she went to ask Doctor Zhang for a thick stack of medical books and carried them back to her tent.

On the way, I met Lu Siheng who was on patrol.

"Why do you want to go back and look at these things so late?" Lu Siheng pointed at the medical book in her arms.

"I can't sleep, let's see if I can find a useful solution."

"There are so many doctors from the Imperial Hospital here. If there was such a method, they would have used it long ago."

"Then just think of it as me using it to hypnotize you." Dong Jiafu said and walked past him and continued walking back.

Lu Siheng realized that he had said the wrong thing and hurriedly followed him, "I'm not saying that what you did is useless, I just saw that you looked very tired, so I wanted you to rest more..."

Dong Jiafu kept walking, "Thank you, Lord Lu, for your concern. I know what's going on."

"What's wrong with you today? Are you unhappy?"

"How can I be happy when so many people are infected with the plague every day?"

Dong Jiafu entered the tent, and Lu Siheng behind her was stopped by someone.

Cui Qiyan stretched out his arm to block his way, "Deputy Commander Lu, stop."

Lu Siheng paused, "What is Prince Cui afraid of? I am not the kind of pervert who would rashly barge into a woman's bedroom."

"It's hard to say. After all, Deputy Commander Lu made a name for himself in the brothel when he was a teenager." Cui Qi Yan said coldly.

"Cui Qiyan, if you have the guts, don't bring up these trivial matters!" Lu Siheng was furious. "Others may not know, but I know that you have been so attentive to Miss Dong these days, and you definitely don't have any good intentions."

"I have never hidden my feelings for her. To tell you the truth, I volunteered to come here, just in case she comes, I can spend more time with her."

"I didn't expect that the prince of Dingguo is also a gambler."

"Rather than being a gambler, I understand her better than you do."

Lu Siheng gritted his teeth and said, "You'd better not let her down."

"Deputy Commander Lu, don't worry about that."

Cui Qi Yan watched Lu Siheng walk away with a smile, then turned back to look at the light coming through the tent, and the smile in his eyes turned into worry.

Early the next morning, Dong Jiafu found Chen Yuanshi, Tan Langzhong and others with dark circles under her eyes and took out an open medical book.

"Master Chen, please take a look at this prescription."

After reading it, Chen Yuanshi said, "This is a prescription that was used during the plague in the previous dynasty. It did control the spread of the plague at that time. But we used this prescription at the beginning, and it had little effect."

"May I ask how Envoy Chen used it?"

"Of course, we boiled it and gave it to the victims to drink."

"Would it be difficult for so many people to boil water every day? There is no guarantee that everyone will drink it."

Envoy Chen nodded, "Indeed, how did Miss Dong know about this?"

"I was just guessing. The medical book says that the effect of this prescription will not be seen after three to five days of use. Everyone needs to drink it for a long time before the number of infected people can be gradually reduced."

"It is precisely because this method is difficult to implement that we have switched to a more convenient incense."

"Dong girl, do you have any good idea?" Doctor Tan knew very well that she would not mention this prescription for no reason.

Dong Jiafu nodded, "Yes, I have an idea, but I don't know if it is feasible."

"Tell me about it." Envoy Chen was very curious about her thoughts.

"Can we put these drugs directly into the well? Then people can drink them whenever they eat or drink, and it can also save manpower."

As soon as Dong Jiafu finished speaking, several imperial physicians and doctors immediately lowered their heads to discuss the matter.

"These medicinal herbs can also have certain therapeutic effects if soaked in cold water. I think this method is worth a try." Doctor Tan spoke first.

"I think so too. This prescription will not conflict with the medicine we use for the infected people." Doctor Zhang also said.

In the end, the decision was made by Chen Yuanshi, and his eyes wrinkled with joy.

"This is a good idea. How did Miss Dong come up with it?"

"I also came across this prescription last night. Seeing that it happened the closest to us, the epidemic situation should be more similar, so I thought about it carefully." Dong Jiafu replied.

"Yes, he is a natural candidate to study medicine." This was the first time that Envoy Chen laughed out loud after arriving at the camp.

"Mr. Chen, you are too kind. We don't know whether this method can control the plague." Dong Jiafu was speaking the truth. She still had time to improve in prescribing the right medicine for the right condition, and she chose this prescription based on her intuition.

Chen Yuanshi immediately arranged for someone to prepare the appropriate amount of medicine and throw it into the well.

In the afternoon, after Dong Jiafu fed Daniu medicine, she came out and sat in front of the table to bask in the sun.

It has been cloudy for several days in a row, and today is a rare sunny day. The sun is not as hot as it is at the beginning of autumn, and it feels warm under the sun.

Dong Jiafu felt sleepy after sitting for a while. She rested her arms on the table and leaned her head against it to take a nap.

Cui Qi Yan saw from afar that she was about to fall to the side, so he quickly ran over and sat down beside her, letting her fall on his shoulder.
