After a thorough inspection, the doctor slowly spoke, "I see that your young master's face is pale and his pulse is tense and floating. This is because the wind and cold have invaded the skin, and the righteous energy is rising to resist the evil. It's a time for the righteous to fight against the evil."

After a pause, the old doctor looked puzzled. "Logically, the young master should have a high fever, or even fainted. However, although the young master looks pale, his temperature is only slightly high. It seems that he has already cooled down."

Everyone looked at Jin Chu, and the doctor also turned his gaze to her.

Jin Chu thought for a moment and replied, "My brother had been suffering from a high fever and convulsions just now, and the old master hadn't come. The situation was critical at the time, so I had no choice but to use a folk remedy I read in a book. I used white wine mixed with hot water to rub several of his vital points to dissipate the heat, and my brother's temperature was finally brought down."

The old doctor looked thoughtful as he listened.

"Old sir, my method is only to lower my brother's body temperature, to prevent the high fever from lasting too long and damaging his body. It's only a superficial treatment and shouldn't harm his underlying condition, right?"

Physical cooling is well known in modern times, but Jin Chu is not sure whether this method will have any side effects.

Seeing that the doctor was silent and worried, she couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Seeing Jin Chu's hesitation, the old doctor quickly replied seriously, "Your Excellency is overly concerned. Your method is excellent! In that situation, the most important thing is to reduce the young master's fever. I will prescribe some more medicine for the young master. You should boil it and take it accordingly. If the fever does not return tonight, the most dangerous moment will be over."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, old man!" Jin Chu expressed his sincere thanks.

"This is my responsibility, so please don't be polite."

After the greetings, Jinchu handed the medicine to Yucheng and Yuxing, and told them to go down and boil the medicine. He and Huanyan, on the other hand, guarded the sleeping Zhao'er on his left and right.

Ye Jinxuan was in the outer room accompanying the old doctor and his young apprentice.

After Eryu brought the medicine, Jinchu and Huanyan coaxed Zhaoer to drink the medicine himself and go to sleep. After waiting for half an hour, the effect of the medicine finally took effect. Zhaoer began to sweat all over his body and his body temperature almost returned to normal.

Apart from the fact that his face was still slightly pale, his previous listless state had dissipated a lot.

The old doctor came to check again and confirmed that Zhao'er's condition had stabilized. After giving detailed instructions on precautions, he prepared to say goodbye and leave.

"It's snowing heavily, the night is deep, the road is long, and the weather is cold. It's amazing that you, old sir, are willing to come to my house to diagnose my brother. You are truly kind and capable!" While expressing his gratitude, Jin Chu asked Huanyan to wrap a thick red envelope and present it to him, "This is a gift from Xi Jing, please accept it."

The old doctor declined for a moment, but seeing that his master was sincere, he let his apprentice take the silver and said to Ye Jinxuan and Jinchu, "My surname is Chen. If you have any questions, you can come to Anqi Hall in the west of the city to find me."

This is what it means to make good connections.

The two nodded and thanked him again.

Thinking of the heavy snow outside, Jin Chu directly asked the palace's carriage to take the old doctor and his young apprentice back. Naturally, the old doctor thanked him again.

After exchanging greetings, he got in the car and left.

After another half hour, Zhao'er's face began to show color, his breathing became steady, and he had recovered about 70% of his condition.

Jin Chu and the other two finally let go of their worries.

It was already past midnight, and the sudden relaxation made all three of them feel extremely tired.

Jin Chu leaned against Zhao'er's bedside, her head feeling dizzy. Yu Cheng came over and asked in a low voice, "Miss, the prince is still at home. Are we going back to the palace tonight?"

When she asked this question, Jin Chu remembered Su Cheng'an.

When she left, he was still drunk, and she didn't know how he was doing now.

Huanyan and Ye Jinxuan exchanged a glance, then spoke to Jinchu, "Sister, Zhao'er is no longer feverish and is sleeping soundly. The old man also said before he left that as long as Zhao'er doesn't have a fever, he'll be safe."

Ye Jinxuan nodded and also advised: "The prince has been away for many days and it's rare for him to come back today. Zhao'er has us here and she has recovered a lot now. Xiaochu, take Yucheng and Yuxing back to the palace to see the prince!"

Thinking of Su Cheng'an who was half drunk in Shaoguangyuan and was still pestering him before leaving, and then looking at Zhao'er who was sleeping soundly on the bed, Jin Chu felt a little hesitant.

She thought for a moment and said, "Wait another half hour. If Zhao'er is alright, it won't be too late for me to go back home."

Seeing that she insisted, they stopped trying to persuade her.

After another half hour, Huanyan urged again: "Sister, Zhao'er slept very well, it's time for you to go back."

"Okay, I'll be back after I finish this tea."

Jin Chu took a sip of the tea.

It was already the end of midnight. Perhaps because he had eaten too much venison, Jin Chu felt a little thirsty, but his stomach was warm and he didn't feel hungry at all.

She didn't eat a single bite of the snacks Huanyan brought, but the two Yu ate quite a lot.

At this time, she whispered to Huanyan that the weather was cold recently, so they had to prepare enough food, clothing, and charcoal. They should go out as little as possible and take good care of the health of the three of them and not be careless.

If there is heavy snow in the workshop, give the workers a temporary holiday. Don't be so stingy and try to save money from the workers, and don't keep nagging like that.

The two Yuwos ate snacks in the corner, Jinchu and the other two stayed by Zhaoer's bed and chatted, and the only adult man, Ye Jinxuan, sat outside and watched over the people in the room.

Outside, heavy snow was falling and everything was white. Inside, relatives were whispering and the lights were warm.

Days like this are so nice!

Ye Jinxuan just raised the corner of his mouth when he heard the sound of horse hooves coming from this direction.

Years of fighting made his heart suddenly tighten, and he stood up in a flash.

In the quiet late night, Jin Chu and the others also heard the hurried sound of horse hooves. Just as she was about to get up, she was stopped by Ye Jinxuan at the door.

"Xiaochu, stay here and don't move. I'll go check out the situation!" As he spoke, he flew out.

Thinking of Ye Jinxuan's excellent kung fu, Jinchu sat back down and said to Huanyan, who was also a little nervous, and Eryu, who looked curious, "Don't worry, my brother has gone out to check on the situation. He is very good at kung fu."

The two Yu nodded, but Huanyan had a hint of worry on her face. She asked in a low voice, "Sister, is Third Brother okay?"

Jin Chu couldn't help but laugh.

Huanyan was really worried. This was Youyun City in the northern border, where King Dingbei was located. Everything was fine in the palace now, so even if there were the sounds of horse hooves, nothing serious would happen.

It was normal for Ye Jinxuan to be nervous. After all, he had just returned from the battlefield and had just arrived in Youyun City. He didn't understand the situation, so it was not a bad thing for him to be cautious in his nature.

But Huanyan's nervousness is quite intriguing!

It's obvious that her heart is entirely focused on her third brother, but she's still unaware of it!

Jin Chu looked at Huanyan with a smile in her eyes, thinking that if everything went well, maybe she would have a sister-in-law next year.

A moment later, Ye Jinxuan returned safely.

The difference was that behind him, there was a man wearing a straw raincoat and Han Ying, the maidservant with martial arts skills assigned to her by Su Cheng'an.

"Hanying! Why are you here?"

Jin Chu's heart tightened, and she sensitively noticed something unusual. The smile on her face disappeared in an instant.

"Princess Consort, the Crown Prince is not feeling well. Mother Wang asked me to come and take you back home quickly!" As soon as Han Ying opened her mouth, she attracted everyone's attention.
