Reborn Lady - Chapter 440
Ah Fu cried while explaining. When the flood happened, Wei Ying was on Mount Emei. When the flood passed, Wei Ying went down the mountain to help the people. When Wei Ying came to Qingquan Temple, there were only Ah Fu, a female doctor, two female guards, and two guards trapped in a village under the mountain. They followed Wei Ying’s instructions and hid their names, cooperating with the government.
Wei Ying was the first to discover malaria. While sending reliable people to inform Cui Yu about it, she took Ah Fu and the others to this remote guest house.
Wei Ying was afraid that the illness would be passed on, so she stayed behind closed doors.
On the third day of their stay, Wei Ying and the two female guards both fell ill.
Fortunately, at the beginning of the year, Emperor Yongping had been preparing medicine in order to send troops. Wei Ying also brought some medicine before leaving Beijing.Â
Although Wei Ying and the two female guards were ill, they were not in danger of dying.
Ah Fu led Cui Yu outside Wei Ying’s room.
When the female doctor came out and saw Cui Yu and the servant wearing a scarf, she asked Ah Fu sharply, “Who are they?”
Ah Fu hurriedly said, “It’s Cui Yu.”
The female doctor’s complexion changed drastically, and the way she looked at Cui Yu became extremely complicated. The Princess was seriously ill, and she would often talk in her sleep when she was in a coma, calling for “Yu Lang”.
A man with “Yu” in his name could be called Yu Lang, and a man as handsome as jade could also be called Yu Lang.
But the female doctor knew that Yu Lang in the Princess’s heart was probably the one in front of her.
“How is the Princess?” Cui Yu asked worriedly.
The female doctor sighed, “It’s just been a day, and today she started to feel chills again. Maybe after this, she’ll be fine.”
Fortunately, the Princess usually practices martial arts and had a good foundation. If she were replaced by a real weak girl, she might not be able to survive.
Cui Yu said, “I’ll go in and have a look.”
The female doctor paused, stepped out of the way, and said, “My Lord, pay attention to protection, and you must not take off the scarf.”
If Cui Yu’s disaster relief task was delayed, the Princess might blame herself.
Cui Yu understood, let Qingzhu stay outside, and he and Ah Fu went in.
The window was open, but there was still a clearly discernible smell of medicine in the inner room. There was the smell of medicine that Cui Yu often smelled recently, and there was also the scent of wormwood that drove away mosquitoes.
The weather was hot, but Wei Ying on the bed was covered with a thick quilt. Even so, the quilt looked flat when she was lying there, which showed how thin she was.
The body had become thinner, and the face had also become gaunt. The Princess, who had been pampered since childhood, had never looked so haggard.
With just one glance, Cui Yu was overcome with pain, shedding tears, and even forgetting that Ah Fu was still by his side.
Ah Fu knew about the Princess’ feelings, and at that moment, she realized that Cui Yu also loved the Princess. Tears flowed down Ah Fu’s cheeks, and she covered her mouth, averting her gaze.
Cui Yu sat on the side of the bed and gently held up her exposed hand, so thin and small. He looked at her comatose and pale face, his heart aching beyond measure.
Leaving her hometown and being alone with such an illness, she still thought about not causing trouble for him.
Noticing that she was trembling, Cui Yu forgot everything, lay down next to her, and hugged her tightly with the quilt in his arms.
Those who are afraid of the cold yearn for all warmth, and the unconscious Wei Ying instinctively presses her forehead against his chin.
Cui Yu just held her like this until she stopped shaking.
There was still something waiting for him at the foot of the mountain. Cui Yu touched her forehead, turned, and left.
Ah Fu sent the master and servant out.
Cui Yu glanced at her and said, “I’ll come over again at the second watch tonight.”
Ah Fu understood and nodded.
After going down the mountain, Cui Yu also started taking miasma medicine.
Before setting off at night, Cui Yu handed Qingwhu his badge and gave him many instructions.
He would still go down the mountain during the day, but if one day he also fell ill, he would ask Qingzhu to act on his behalf.
Qingzhu wrote down each instruction, and Cui Yu was at ease with him. For so many years, Qingzhu had experienced everything with him completely.
The mountain road was even more difficult to walk at night, so Cui Yu arrived at Wei Ying’s other courtyard in the dark, wearing a few insect repellent sachets.
Ah Fu was already waiting by the door and quietly invited him in.
“Has the Princess woken up?”
“After waking up for a while, she got to know you had been here, so she told me to tell you not to come again.”
How could Cui Yu not come? He was afraid that she would not be able to make it through. If that was the case, at least he would stay by her side.
Ah Fu slept outside, and Cui Yu personally guarded Wei Ying’s bedside.
Not long after, she suddenly pushed away the quilt in her sleep and pulled at the clothes on her body uncomfortably.
Cui Yu was too familiar with the onset of malaria and knew that she was about to face a high fever that might last for two or three hours.
There was cold water in the room. Cui Yu called Ah Fu to come in. He moved the water basin to the bedside, then put the towel inside it, and handed the wet towel to Ah Fu again and again. Ah Fu continued to help Wei Ying wipe herself. Wei Ying was in a coma, even if she opened her eyes, she couldn’t see clearly. She either asked for water or vomited it out. Ah Fu couldn’t help but feel nauseous after serving her several times, but Cui Yu never said a word.
In the middle of the night, Wei Ying’s body temperature finally returned to normal. After Ah Fu wiped her body and changed the cover, she fell into a deep sleep with a soothing expression.
Cui Yu went to fetch water from the well in the backyard and scrubbed himself clean in an empty house, and Ah Fu found a monk’s robe and handed it to him to change into.
Cui Yu barely slept for an hour, did not see Wei Ying again, and went down the mountain as quietly as when he came.
Wei Ying slept deeply this time and woke up to find rashes on her face. Fortunately, Ah Fu told her that when Cui Yu came the previous night, the rashes hadn’t come out yet.
