Zhangsun Wugou was sick?
Li Xuanlie jumped up and put aside the battle in front of him for the time being as he headed straight for the rear residence.
As a medical officer, Li Shizhen heard that Madam was ill and quickly followed her.
A moment later, Li Xuanlie pushed open the door and entered.
At this moment, Zhangsun Wugou's face was pale. He was curled up in the quilt and trembling, unconscious.
Only then did Li Xuanlie remember that he had been focused on military affairs and neglected Zhangsun Wugou. He hadn't seen her for a few days, and he didn't expect her to become so sick.
He couldn't help but feel guilty.
Li Xuanlie sat down and gently wiped the temperature on her forehead.
"What's going on with Wugou? Why is she so sick all of a sudden?”
Li Xuanlie glared at his maidservant, Xiao Yun.
Xiao Yun's eyes were filled with tears as she sobbed." Young Lady heard that there was a plague in the city and everyone was in a panic. So, she went out to visit the soldiers and the people. Sometimes, she would even personally assist the medical officer. I didn't expect that she would fall ill just like that."”
Li Xuanlie's heart shook. He never expected that she would go to the medical camp.
"The medical camp is full of patients, why would she take the risk?”Li Xuanlie questioned.
"This servant also tried to persuade him, but Young Miss said that as His Highness 'concubine, if she could appear in the medical camp, she would be able to help His Highness appease the people. Young Miss wanted to do her part for His Highness.”
Li Xuanlie suddenly understood. Looking at the beauty in front of him, how could he not be moved? He couldn't help but sigh softly.
"This silly girl, sigh."
He sighed softly and held her hand even tighter.
Li Shizhen stepped forward and said," Your Highness, Madam Zhangsun has been to the medical camp. I'm afraid she has contracted a disease. Please leave for the time being and let me examine Madam first."”
"This king will be here watching you.”
Li Xuanlie didn't avoid it and insisted on staying here to accompany them.
Li Shizhen saw that he couldn't persuade him, so he had to give up. He calmed down and checked Zhangsun Wugou's pulse.
After a long time, Li Shizhen let out a long breath and said with a smile,"Madam Zhangsun is kind and benevolent. With the blessings of the heavens, she did not contract the plague. It was only because she was too tired that her body was weak and she caught a cold.”
Li Xuanlie heaved a sigh of relief.
Immediately, Li Shizhen wrote the prescription and sent the decoction over.
Li Xuanlie took the bowl of medicine from Xiao Yun and personally fed it to Zhangsun Wugou.
"It is worth it for Young Lady to be able to receive such considerate care from His Highness for her illness."
Xiaoyun secretly rejoiced in her heart, and then pulled Li Shizhen out tactfully.
The door closed, leaving only the two of them.
Li Xuanlie patiently fed her the medicine.
At this moment, night had fallen, and the lights were already hanging high outside.
Li Xuanlie also had some medical knowledge and knew that Li Shizhen's prescription was effective. However, it would take some time for the cold to recover. It was not something that could be cured once the medicine was ingested.
He looked at Zhangsun Wugou, whose complexion had improved slightly. He planned to stand up and leave, calling Xiaoyun to come in and serve him.
"Cold, I'm so cold ~~"
Zhangsun Wugou, who was curled up in the quilt, groaned in a daze, and his body trembled even more violently.
Li Xuanlie had no choice but to sit down again and press the corner of the blanket for her.
Suddenly, the dazed Zhangsun Wugou hugged Li Xuanlie tightly, as if he wanted to find some warmth from him.
Li Xuanlie's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't know what to do.
Looking at the trembling Zhangsun Wugou, Li Xuanlie couldn't bear to see him like this. In the end, he temporarily threw that line in his heart to the back of his mind.
He carefully climbed onto the bed and lay down beside her, allowing Zhangsun Wugou to curl up tightly under his arm.
At some point in time, the candle had been burned out, and the room was dark.
From time to time, Li Xuanlie would try to feel the warmth on her forehead. Unknowingly, he felt sleepy and fell asleep silently.
The night passed and the sky was already bright.
Zhangsun Wugou's face regained its color. Finally, he no longer felt cold and slowly woke up.
The moment she opened her eyes, she saw a man lying next to her, and he was so close to her.
She was shocked. Just as she was about to cry out in surprise, she suddenly realized that this man was her husband.
Zhangsun Wugou heaved a sigh of relief. His bright eyes were blank as he recalled what had happened yesterday.
In a daze, she remembered that it was Li Xuanlie who had been taking care of her.
"Could it be that my husband is using his body temperature to keep me warm?”
Zhangsun Wugou's thoughts raced as he suddenly understood the reason.
Her face couldn't help but turn dizzy, and an inexplicable sense of joy crept into her heart.
This was the first time the two of them had shared a bed after she married Li Xuanlie and spent an entire night together.
Although it was because she was sick and the two of them did not do anything, it was enough to make her feel extremely touched.
At the very least, this showed that Li Xuanlie loved her, and their relationship had taken a step forward.
Zhangsun Wugou pursed his lips into a faint smile before carefully lying down again and leaning against his side.
She only hoped that Li Xuanlie would wake up later so that she could enjoy this moment of warmth for a while longer.
…
A thousand miles away, Luoyang City.
The black flag messenger once again rushed into the city to deliver the good news that the epidemic in Youzhou had been resolved to Hanyuan Palace.
At this moment, the emperors and ministers of the Great Tang were having a headache over the epidemic in Youzhou, and they were discussing it among themselves.
"The Third Prince is indeed a godlike soldier. If nothing goes wrong, he should be able to wipe out the three hundred thousand Turkic Goguryeon soldiers, but the plague just happened!”
"That's right. Since ancient times, this plague has been the most difficult to deal with. Its power is comparable to an army of a million.”
"Youzhou lacks doctors and medicines. If we can't control the plague, the consequences will be unimaginable!”
…
The ministers were pessimistic.
On the Dragon Throne, Li Yuan's brows were deeply furrowed, and his face was covered in a layer of shadow.
Li Jiancheng and Li Shiming heaved a sigh of relief, trying their best to hide their joy.
If the epidemic in Youzhou could not be controlled, Li Xuanlie would lose without a doubt. If he lost Youzhou and even the Sixteen Prefectures of the Dark Cloud Prefecture, his prestige would plummet.
At that time, Li Yuan would have no reason to favor Li Xuanlie.
From now on, Li Xuanlie would no longer pose a threat to them.
"It's best if God bless the Tang Empire and let that adopted son also contract the disease and die in Youzhou!”
The two of them secretly prayed in their hearts at the same time.
"Your Majesty, a messenger from Youzhou has arrived!”
A guard suddenly shouted from outside the hall.
Li Yuan's eyes lit up as he shouted,"Hurry up and announce it!"”
Everyone tensed up and looked out of the hall.
A black flag envoy rushed into Hanyuan Hall and bowed at the jade steps.
"Your Majesty, His Highness has successfully suppressed the epidemic. Youzhou has turned from danger to safety. He has specially ordered me to report to Your Majesty that I am safe!”
Li Yuan was overjoyed, and the dark clouds on his face instantly disappeared.
The officials were also in a commotion and were all extremely shocked.
Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin were stunned and in disbelief.
"This epidemic has only broken out for less than half a month, and Xuan Lie has already suppressed it?”
Li Yuan recovered from his surprise and found it hard to believe.
"Your Majesty, the Black Flag Army has a divine doctor, Li Shizhen. He led the medical guards to do their best to suppress the epidemic.”
"Your Highness has ordered me to present Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica to Your Majesty.”
"His Highness has instructed that His Majesty must order the Imperial Academy of Medicine to promote this medical book to the whole world. It will definitely benefit the people of Tang.”
As he spoke, the black flag messenger handed over the Compendium of Materia Medica.
"Li Shizhen? There was such a godly doctor under Xuan Lie? Quickly summon Sun Simiao!"
Li Yuan was an outsider and couldn't understand the Compendium of Materia Medica, so he immediately ordered the head of the Imperial Academy of Medicine, Sun Simiao, to come.
A moment later, this famous doctor, who was known as the King of Medicine of the Tang Empire, arrived in the main hall.
Li Yuan then gave this " Compendium of Materia Medica " to Sun Simiao to have a look and let him evaluate the value of this book.
Sun Simiao flipped through it carefully. At first, his expression was still calm, but the more he read, the more delighted he became. He couldn't help but click his tongue in wonder.
After a while, Sun Simiao closed the book and exclaimed,""Your Majesty, this Compendium of Materia Medica is truly a peerless medical book. I wonder which divine doctor wrote it?”
