The cruel little princess

At midnight, Shen Youyou was extremely sleepy. Looking at Doctor Feng, he had also fallen asleep leaning against the table, his head rising and falling with his breathing.

Shen Youyou felt her father's pulse again, which was slightly better than before, but a little faster. She touched his forehead again and found it was a little hot.

Now that the operation is completed, the most worrying thing is that the high fever will not go away after the operation.

We can only reduce the fever first and then observe. Fortunately, it is a low fever now, slightly higher than the usual body temperature, and it is easier to treat. I will try physical cooling for him first. If it doesn't work, I will prescribe decoction for treatment.

Having made up his mind, Shen Youyou quickly walked to the door curtain and asked through the curtain: "Is there anyone else outside?"

"I'm here. What can I do for you, young lady?" A soldier walked in from outside.

"Go get a basin of warm water, slightly hot, and some clean towels."

Shen Youyou gave the order in an orderly manner. The sergeant hurried away after receiving the order.

After a while, the sergeant brought a basin of water and several towels. Shen Youyou soaked the towels, wrung them out gently, and carefully placed them on Daddy's forehead.

She took another towel, soaked it, wrung it half dry, and gently wiped his neck. Slowly lifting the gauze, avoiding the sutured wound, she gently wiped along his chest, abdomen, and arms. Then she soaked the towel again, picked it up, wrung it half dry, and continued wiping, repeating this process over and over again.

When the water in the basin was no longer so hot, I asked someone to change it. I changed the water four or five times, and when I touched my forehead again, the temperature had dropped.

Shen Youyou exhaled lightly, and then she realized that she had been holding her breath while doing these things. What did this mean? She was actually very worried about this cheap father.

She sat by the bed, watching over her father quietly, touching his forehead every once in a while, worried that he would have a fever again.

Until dawn, General Shen showed no signs of fever again, and his breathing was steady, his pulse rhythm was even, smooth, peaceful, and strong, all proving that he had survived the most dangerous night.

The stone in Shen Youyou's heart finally fell to the ground. Fortunately, she came, fortunately, she came!

Otherwise, this father would really be dead. Before she could think about anything else, she heard Chuntao's voice outside the tent, "Miss, Miss! Are you free? I have prepared breakfast, please eat first!"

Shen Youyou walked to the outside of the screen, "Chun Tao, come in!"

At this time, Military Doctor Feng also slowly woke up. He walked forward and felt the general's pulse.

"Oh, how ashamed I am! We had agreed to keep watch together, but when I saw that the general was in good condition yesterday, I couldn't help but relax and fell asleep!"

"I'm truly ashamed of you, young lady! You've troubled me with the tiring journey, and even when you arrived at the border, you've taken care of the general without taking off your clothes. You've worked so hard, young lady! Now that the general is fine, I'll take my leave. I hope you take care of yourself, too."

"Uncle Feng, you're too polite! He's my father, and as his daughter, I should take care of him. How can you say it's hard work? Uncle Feng, you military doctors have been working hard lately to take care of my father's injuries. Now that my daughter is here, you can take this opportunity to rest up."

"Okay, okay. There are still many injured soldiers in the barracks. I will take them with me to continue treating them today. I'll trouble you with the general's affairs. I'll take my leave."

Chuntao was smiling, holding a maroon square wooden food tray.

"Miss, I steamed two bowls of egg custard, cooked a pot of porridge, and paired it with six golden flower rolls and a bowl of wolfberry milk soup. I was afraid that Miss wouldn't be used to the taste of others' cooking, so I made all of this myself and didn't ask anyone else to do it."

"Originally, I went to the kitchen last night and saw some radishes, so I made some sweet and sour pickles with them, but, Miss..."

Chun Tao looked around and saw that no one was in the tent. She quietly leaned close to the young lady's ear and whispered softly, "Young lady, I am left-handed, so after I made the pickles last night, I used to put the chopsticks on the left side of the small pottery jar before closing the lid."

"But when I checked again this morning, the chopsticks were already on the right side of the small pottery jar. I didn't dare move them, fearing someone else might have poisoned them or misunderstand them."

"So I pretended not to know and served a small bowl of pickles. The young lady won't need to eat this later, so we'll throw some away and pretend we've eaten it to fool the others. Luckily, I didn't make too many pickles, otherwise it would be a waste of food!"

Chun Tao was getting excited when she said, "Miss, a military officer once asked me if these meals were prepared for the general. I dared not say anything, so I said it was for the master and the servant."

"Chun Tao, you did the right thing! I told you that last night because I found someone in the military camp who was against my father! Even my brother's disappearance may be related to this person! So now, don't trust anyone except the two of us!" Shen Youyou slowly explained to Chun Tao.

"Miss, you're amazing! We just arrived, and you've already discovered so many problems! By the way, why did that old man just now keep thanking you? He even thanked you for saving the general. How did you save the general?"

Chun Tao especially trusts her young lady and admires her very much! Not only did the young lady escape death on the road, but even the general escaped death when he arrived at the border!

It's really the Buddha's blessing! Maybe my young lady is the reincarnation of the virgin under the Buddha's seat, so she can help the young lady and the general turn danger into safety!

"Chun Tao, listen, what I'm about to tell you is very important! Do you remember what I told you on the way here, that I was able to survive this great disaster thanks to the guidance of the Buddha, who gave me a chance to make a fortune?"

Shen Youyou carefully considered her words while working her brain quickly to find a reasonable excuse for her medical skills.

"Remember, Miss! Ever since you fell on your head, you've become much more sober! Before, you were as naive as a three-year-old child, but now you're much more capable than most people! Chuntao remembers everything she said to you!"

Chuntao didn't care what her mistress said, because everything she said was right!

"Chun Tao, what I mean is that the Buddha sent me a blessing, which is to teach me the art of medicine! I saw the Buddha point his finger at my head, and not only did I wake up completely, but I suddenly discovered that I knew medicine! If this isn't a blessing from the Buddha, what is it?"

Shen Youyou slowly explained, "After I arrived here yesterday and saw my father's condition, I immediately knew how to treat him. But I didn't dare tell them that I learned medical skills from the Buddha, so I could only say that I rescued an old man who fell off a cliff in the deep mountains of our hometown."

"That old man taught me a lot of medical skills and forbade me to tell anyone else. This matter is known to heaven, earth, you, and me. It must never be known to anyone else."

Shen Youyou solemnly warned Chuntao, "Otherwise, I'm worried that the Buddha will think I'm being too ostentatious and take my fortune back."

"Don't worry, Miss! Chuntao will keep her mouth shut! She will never mention it to anyone else and make the Buddha angry!" Chuntao responded with a naive smile.

"Bring the pickled vegetables you just mentioned here for me to take a look. The Buddha taught me medicine, he must have wanted to keep me safe, let me see if I can find any clues. If it's really poisoning again, then this person is too impatient. It's also possible that others don't know what's inside, so they open it to take a look. I'll make a conclusion after checking it out. So as to avoid misunderstandings." Shen Youyou analyzed to Chuntao bit by bit.
