After being expelled from the mansion, I changed the dynasty by writing novels.

Upon hearing this, the entire Imperial Hospital fell silent. "Your Highness... Your Highness has been infected..."

Some dared not continue, but Physician Lü said solemnly, "Quickly, prepare the carriage."

Seeing that Physician Lü was about to leave, Ye Yuwu, who was still in shock, reacted and said, "Physician Lü, I'll go with you!"

Physician Lü disagreed with her going, saying, "Lord Ye still needs you here. Only in this way can the quinine be made quickly, so that the people and His Highness can be saved sooner..."

"I have written down this prescription in great detail. To be honest, I am not a doctor, and I do not know as much about pharmacology as ordinary folk doctors. Even if I am here, I cannot be of much help. It would be better to go with Physician Lü to examine His Highness the Crown Prince's illness. Perhaps I can be of some help!"

Physician Lü never expected Lord Ye to say that; she was too frank.

Physician Lü simply couldn't understand how Lord Ye, who didn't understand pharmacology, could write down these prescriptions that could cure diseases so clearly.

However, no matter how doubtful they were, they had to put those aside for now. There was something more important at hand: to cure the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince absolutely could not be allowed to get into trouble.

Physician Lü stopped trying to persuade Ye Yuwu to stay.

The guards who came to fetch the imperial physician to the Eastern Palace were eager for Lord Ye to go.

Because while His Highness the Crown Prince was unconscious, he kept calling out Lord Ye's name.

If His Highness weren't still unconscious, these servants would surely have been killed to silence them if they knew about this secret.

Fortunately, when the Empress and the Princess came to see His Highness, His Highness seemed to have fallen into a daze and was no longer calling out Lord Ye's name.

Otherwise, they wouldn't know what to do either.

Without delay, Ye Yuwu and Physician Lü rushed to the East Palace, where many people were standing outside.

Despite the dangers of malaria, the Empress insisted on staying by the Crown Prince's side to take care of him.

Unable to persuade her otherwise, the eldest princess simply stayed inside with the empress.

Fortunately, although the Empress insisted on taking care of His Highness the Crown Prince, she did not forget to wear a cotton mask.

This mask was an improvement proposed by Ye Yuwu and Qi Jingyue.

The mask is made of coarse cloth and cotton, and is a simple version of a mask that has been scalded with boiling water.

Although it's not as effective as modern methods at blocking airborne viruses, it's still better than just wearing a face mask in the past.

It was because His Highness the Crown Prince used this mask that it gradually became more widely available.

The Empress and the Princess who came to visit at this moment were wearing this mask.

When Physician Lü arrived, the Empress became agitated and immediately ordered him to treat the Crown Prince.

The imperial physician went to the Crown Prince's bedside and took his pulse.

After he finished, Physician Lü couldn't help but sigh, and the Empress and the Princess immediately jumped up and down again.

"How is Physician Lü?"

"Your Highness has contracted the plague."

These words instantly plunged the Empress into despair; her heart shattered, and the Princess beside her barely managed to steady her.

"Doctor Lü, do you have any way to save my son?"

Ye Yuwu could see that the Empress was heartbroken. She went over and took the Empress's hand. "Your Majesty, please don't worry. Give the Imperial Hospital a few more days. We have already found a way to cure this disease."

A ray of light shone into the Empress's previously despairing eyes. "Really?"

"Your Majesty, I would never deceive you!" Ye Yuwu nodded solemnly.

The Empress was so moved that tears streamed down her face. "Thank you!"

"Your Majesty, please don't say that. You're making me feel too bad. Your Highness has worked so hard for the disaster victims, so you're naturally blessed!"

With Ye Yuwu's words, the Empress's heart was no longer in pain, as if she had found hope.

Before long, Physician Lü prescribed several doses of medicine and fed them to His Highness the Crown Prince.

However, Qi Jingyue, who was in a coma, was unaware of all of this.

He just felt hot and cold all over, his consciousness was hazy, and he vaguely smelled a familiar scent.

It seemed like someone was calling him.

He struggled to open his eyes to see, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't open them.

As the period of chaos continued, his desire to leave the status quo grew stronger and stronger. Finally, through his perseverance and unwavering persistence, he opened his eyes.

At the same time, the instant he opened his eyes, something icy cold pressed against his lips.

He looked up from the spoon pressed against his lips.

He met a pair of cool, clear eyes.

"why you?"

"Your Highness, what kind of look is that? What? Are you disappointed in me?"

Qi Jingyue looked at the handsome face in front of him with a cold smile. If he weren't still sick and weak, he would definitely have punched him!

"Alright, Your Highness, hurry up and drink this medicine!" Bai Zunyue was unwilling to feed his rival medicine, even if the person was the Crown Prince. He showed no mercy and, before Qi Jingyue could speak, he kept stuffing the medicine into Qi Jingyue's mouth.

At this moment, Qi Jingyue, who was "powerless", could only let him do as he pleased. In no time, he finished drinking a bowl of medicine.

Qi Jingyue's eyes were filled with murderous intent, all directed at Bai Zunyue.

"Bai Zunyue, you're finished!"

"Huh, you finished the whole bowl so quickly?" Just then, a familiar female voice came from behind Bai Zunyue.

Qi Jingyue looked up and immediately fell silent.

Ye Yuwu took the bowl from Bai Zunyue and found that there was indeed not a drop of medicine left. She immediately exclaimed, "Lord Marquis, you really have a way to get all the medicine down!"

You should know how difficult it has been to feed Qi Jingyue his medicine these past few days; it has been a real worry for Ye Yuwu.

However, apart from her, who could be fed a little medicine, no one else could be fed any medicine at all.

The Empress was extremely worried about this, and Ye Yuwu couldn't bear it, so she took on the task of taking care of Qi Jingyue.

Of course, what she dared not say was that she was using His Highness the Crown Prince as the first batch of test subjects for the new drug.

After all, there were subjects she could test the medicine on nearby, so why not use it? Besides, she trusted the prescription, so nothing bad was likely to happen.

However, if the imperial physicians of the Imperial Hospital and Qi Jingyue's subordinates knew about her plan, they probably wouldn't agree to her entertaining Qi Jingyue.

In the past few days, apart from the Empress and the Eldest Princess who have been accompanying Qi Jingyue, the Emperor has not come even once. Apart from verbal concern, he has shown no real concern whatsoever.

Moreover, he seemed very afraid of the plague. As soon as the Crown Prince contracted the disease, he immediately ordered the Eastern Palace to be sealed off.

Anyone who has been to the Crown Prince's palace is not allowed to leave the Eastern Palace, and even the Empress does not receive any special honor.

These past few days I've been taking care of Qi Jingyue at the East Palace.

However, the emperor did allow Ye Yuwu to move around, but only within the Eastern Palace and the Imperial Hospital. She was not allowed to go anywhere else. He even sent people to escort and protect her, but in reality, it was to prevent her from going to other places.

The palace required daily disinfection with lime water.

Even attending court was waived.

Ye Yuwu could hardly help but suspect that the emperor was truly "afraid of death."
