XIV. Sickness
I don't know if I was a little frightened last night, sweating and wind, or the apricot was lifted and fell asleep at night.
Apricot touched her head: "Oops, it's so hot!" ”
Ah Fu smiled bitterly, she was not surprised at all, when she was outside, she would always get a wind chill once and a half every winter,
When I arrived at the palace, it seemed that it was no exception.
"I, I'll go back to Mrs. Yang and ask the imperial doctor to come and take a look at you, right?"
"No need to ......" Ah Fu's eyelids were heavy, and he said strongly: "You can get me a bowl of ginger soup to drink, and I'll just lie down and raise it for a while." ”
Xing'er agreed to go out, and after a while, she really got a bowl of ginger soup. Because the weather is as cold as a day, the queen mother said that the food in the imperial dining room was sent and then served on the table, and when the entrance was already cold, a small stove was set up in the palace courtyard of several ladies, and if you want to eat hot tea and hot rice, you can raise a fire and cook it at any time, otherwise this ginger soup will not be so easy to get.
Ah Fu drank a large bowl full of hot soup, covered his head and fell asleep, and in the afternoon he did not sweat lightly, but his whole body was heavy, and the fever was even worse. Xing'er was in a hurry to turn around the house, so she could only run to others to ask for ideas. In the evening, Mrs. Yang came to see it once, and handed a few pills to Xing'er, and Xing'er found hot water to give Ah Fu to take, and Ah Fu didn't sleep well this night, tossing and turning, cold and hot for a while. In the morning, someone came to take Ah Fu's pulse, but he only said that he was suffering from the wind and cold, and he prescribed a decoction. Ah Fu's fever did not subside until the third day, but he coughed badly, and it was slightly better during the day, and it was difficult to sleep at night. Although the illness has not worsened, it has not been lightened for a long time, and if it is delayed any longer, Mrs. Yang is afraid that she will move her out - Ah Fu knows the place in Yongshoutang, although it is called Yongshou, but because of the illness, the palace eunuchs who moved over have moved a lot, but not all of them can come back.
Ah Fu couldn't get out of bed, she slept groggy, and she didn't know what time it was outside, when someone suddenly called her softly. Ah Fu knew in his heart, but his body was too heavy to struggle. The man reached out and pushed her.
"Ah Fu, wake up."
"You...... Liu Run? ”
Ah Fu blinked vigorously, yes, it was him.
"You...... How did it come? ”
Ah Fu's voice was hoarse, and he couldn't say a whole sentence.
Liu Run glanced outside the door, lowered his head and said quickly, "This is for you, I'll come back tomorrow." He stuffed a paper bag into Ah Fu's hand, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Don't let anyone know." ”
Ah Fu was stunned, but his brain turned slowly, and before he could react to ask what this meant, Liu Run hurriedly opened the door and went out as he came.
Ah Fu looked at the things in his hand, and the paper was wrapped in a handful of ashes, crushed and ground herbs.
This...... What's this called?
Ah Fu remembered the tone and demeanor of what he had just spoken, and suddenly felt a burst of shock, although he was lying down, he still felt dizzy, and quickly closed his eyes tightly.
This kind of thing has only been seen in TV and movies before, no matter how you guess it, you can't guess that such a thing will happen to you.
She looks at the medicine bag, to eat it or not to eat it?
Ah Fu didn't think about it for too long, in short, it is a fact that the illness has not improved now, and there is no need for Liu Run to harm her.
Reached out and took a teacup from the bedside, stretched out his arm and touched the teapot, and shivered and poured a glass of water. The medicine powder didn't smell pungent, and Ah Fu poured the medicine powder into his mouth and swallowed it hard. The throat was swollen, only to feel that the end of the medicine seemed to stick to the palate and throat, astringent, hurriedly drank water, the tea was half cold, and drank it violently, Ah Fu Ji Ling shivered twice, and poured back weakly, but he couldn't sleep anymore.
The more I think about what happened just now, the more frightened I become. Ah Fu only felt that his brain was stuffed with rotten grass, and it hurt to poke and poke, and he couldn't figure it out.
Having a problem with medicine? Whose problem is it?
Xing'er came back after a while, cautious under her feet, and came in with a bowl of medicine like a great enemy: "Sister Afu, I've taken the medicine." ”
Ah Fu snorted. Xing'er put the medicine on the table, came over to help her sit up, and put a pillow behind her back for her to lean on.
"How's it going on you? Feeling better? ”
Ah Fu shook his head.
"Come on, drink the medicine."
The sauce-colored medicinal soup smells bitter in the mouth. Ah Fu frowned, and Xing'er looked at her: "Drink it, how can you get better if you don't drink it." ”
"I don't want to drink it."
Xing'er was also a little distressed: "How can there be medicine that is not bitter, then, I will take the preserved fruit to press it for you?" ”
Ah Fu took the medicine bowl, Xing'er turned around and went to the cabinet to find the dried apricot, Ah Fu only took a sip, turned sideways and poured the medicine between the head of the bed and the wall. The liquid trickled down the leg of the bed without a sound. Anyway, there was already a smell of medicine in this house, and it was filthy, and it wouldn't be a big deal if there was more.
When Xing'er turned her head, there were only two mouthfuls of medicine left, and Ah Fu shook his head: "Don't drink it." ”
"Well, there's not much left anyway." Xing'er handed over the box of preserved fruits, and Ah Fu took a piece and put it in his mouth.
"Xing'er, these days, it's really hard for you. You see, you're thin again. ”
"I'm fine." She also reached out and took a piece from the box and put it in her mouth: "When you are well, remember to get more pastries to thank me." ”
Ah Fu looked at her face carefully, Xing'er didn't look much different from usual, but there was a slight blue under her eyes, the past two days were really hard, and she couldn't sleep well at night.
Ah Fu had a lot of doubts, but he couldn't get answers.
The next day, Liu Run really came again when there was no one in the house. Xing'er went to decoction at this time, and only Ah Fu was in the house.
"Did you take yesterday's medicine?"
"Hmm."
Liu Run took out another paper bag that was the same as yesterday and gave it to her.
"I came over the day before yesterday, you fell asleep, and I took the pulse for you."
"You...... Knowing how to heal? ”
"Before, I learned a little bit when I was at home." Liu Run said: "Your medicine is symptomatic, but there is one less important thing in it, if you drink it like this, you may not be better if you drink it for ten days and half a month...... "He stood up and tucked the quilt for Ah Fu: "Be careful." ”
Jia Hui and a few other palace maids came to see her, but they just said a few words and went out, so as not to trouble everyone after the illness.
Chen Huizhen also came once, she was wearing a water-red jacket, a yellow skirt tied around her waist, her hair was combed smoothly and neatly, and she looked very energetic. In contrast, Ah Fu had a sickly face, a hoarse voice, unkempt, and was really embarrassed.
"Hey, don't get up, don't get up." Huizhen hurriedly took two steps and held down Ah Fu: "You lie down quickly." ”
"I'm sorry, it's nothing, and I'm bothering you to come and see me."
"Depending on what you say, that's not how it should be." Chen Huizhen accompanied her for a few words, and then got up to say goodbye.
Ah Fu saw her go, closed his eyes, and the faces of the people he had seen today flashed in his mind in turn.
Liu Run's words let her know that someone had done something in the medicine, although it was not to poison her life, but I hoped that she would be sick for a longer time and prolonged......
How could this kind of thing happen to you?
Whose path is in the way, whose eyes are in the way?
For a while, it seemed that everyone was possible, and it seemed that no one would be able to.
-————————————
I am sick, and Ah Fu also accompanies me when I am sick...... Well, it's really just a coincidence, and I'm never using Ah Fu to vent my grievances.
The cold was mild, and it was so uncomfortable last night.
