Moonlit Calamity: The Dragon Girl's Life of Idleness is Broken

“Yes, yes…” Qingying nodded repeatedly in agreement.

She turned her head and looked over. Xiao Han was also looking this way. He was standing in front of the carriage waiting for her.

She glanced back at them both, lowered the carriage curtain, and turned to walk towards Xiao Han.

Qingying watched her walk in that direction, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, exchanged a glance, and smiled smugly.

She walked slowly to the carriage, smiled slightly at Xiao Han, and said, "Let's go."

She lifted her skirt and boarded the carriage.

Xiao Han smiled and followed her into the carriage. After they got in, the carriage headed towards the Prince's Mansion.

"Are you tired?" Xiao Han asked.

She nodded and then shook her head: "It's alright. Compared to that, the patients are suffering more. This autumn and winter transition, many people have been affected by the flu."

"Be careful when you go out, wear more clothes, catching a cold is no fun," Long Chuqing said to him from the perspective of a doctor.

Xiao Han smiled and nodded after hearing her instructions: "Hmm... You should also take care. Wear more clothes when you go out tomorrow. The pharmacy is drafty, and it gets cold if you sit there for a long time."

Long Chuqing smiled and said, "Okay."

"Oh dear... I forgot my medicine," she suddenly remembered something and slapped her forehead. "Oh well... I have to go tomorrow anyway."

"What medicine?" Xiao Han looked at her, puzzled. "Aren't there plenty in the Prince's mansion?"

"This is a new prescription I've been researching. I haven't purchased these medicines before, and I don't need many, which is why I went to Dr. Yuan's pharmacy today."

Long Chuqing has been researching calming medicine formulas for herself recently. With the fifteenth of the month approaching, she hopes these calming medicines will be of some help to her.

Xiao Han nodded after hearing this: "You can tell me if you need anything next time."

The carriage quickly returned to the gate of the Prince's Mansion, arriving just before curfew.

The weather was fine during the day, but the wind picked up at night, and it was a bit cold when I got out of the carriage.

At this time, the servants in the mansion had finished tidying up and gone back to their beds, with only a few people moving around.

When they returned to the crossroads, Xiao Han offered to escort her back to Qiushui Pavilion, but said, "It's dark on the road, let me take you back!"

Long Chuqing waved her hand: "No need, you can go back now! Get some rest."

She waved and walked straight towards Qiushui Pavilion. Xiao Han watched her departing figure until she was out of sight before heading towards Qinli Courtyard.

Hearing her footsteps, Lin Mama put on her clothes and came out: "Miss, why are you so late? Have you eaten? There's some food left for you in the kitchen, I'll go heat it up for you."

Long Chuqing quickly grabbed her and pushed her into the room: "I've already eaten. It's cold, you should go back to sleep. Don't worry about me."

"There's water heating up on the stove; I'll go fetch some for your bath."

"I can go by myself, you should go back to sleep!" With that, he closed the door, leaving Granny Lin in the room.

After fiddling around for a while, she finally lay down on the bed and exclaimed, "It's still so comfortable in bed."

Fei Feng spoke slowly: "Comfort is for the dead."

"Get out..."

A good night's sleep.

The next day, Long Chuqing got up early. Today she wore a light, fitted sky-blue dress and styled her hair into a simple bun.

After washing up downstairs, she went to the room to check on Ziguang and reapplied the medicine.

Many of the bruises have been removed, but some of the deeper ones still have faint bruises.

After Granny Lin brought breakfast from the main kitchen, she helped Ziguang out.

During the meal, she mentioned that she would be going to Doctor Yuan's pharmacy later.

There are a lot of flu patients lately, and she'll probably be back very late today, so they don't need to prepare dinner for her, just leave her some hot water.

After having breakfast, she took a basket to the pharmacy and bought two baskets of medicinal herbs, then went to Qinli Courtyard.

The guard at the gate told her that the prince had gone to court that day, so she could only take her basket and go find Uncle Zhong.

She handed the basket to Uncle Zhong and told him to take it and boil it, to boil a big pot of it, so that everyone in the Prince's mansion would drink it to prevent colds.

She told Uncle Zhong about seeing many patients at the pharmacy yesterday, and also mentioned that this type of flu is highly contagious and requires extra caution.

If there's nothing important to do during this time, it's best to stay at home.

Uncle Zhong agreed after hearing this, saying that he would definitely urge everyone to take the medicine.

She instructed me to drink it once in the morning and once in the evening.

After giving his instructions, he left the mansion and soon arrived at the entrance of the pharmacy.

Sure enough, there were patients waiting early in the morning, most of whom had developed fevers during the night.

She told the driver that she would be here all day, and if he had other things to do, he didn't need to stay with her.

Upon hearing this, the driver realized he indeed had other things to do and couldn't stay there all day. "Then I'll head back now and come back to pick up the girl later."

Long Chuqing nodded.

"Oh my... Miss Long, you've arrived so early!" Doctor Yuan came out from inside and greeted her warmly. "Have you had breakfast yet?"

"If you haven't eaten yet, come inside and eat. I just finished eating and came out, and they're still eating inside, it's still hot."

"have eaten."

After greeting everyone, Long Chuqing put on a simple mask, just like yesterday, to avoid patients staring at her. Several patients had already been looking at her since she came in.

She also suggested that other doctors and pharmacy assistants wear one, as they come into contact with so many patients every day, and the mask can isolate droplets and prevent the flu.

It would be troublesome if the doctor also got sick. Today, a young apprentice doctor was unwell, with a sore throat and runny nose.

Following Long Chuqing's instructions, they laid cotton on the gauze, placed two thick cotton ropes on both sides, folded it several times, and a simple mask was made.

Now that it's cold, wearing them isn't stuffy and keeps them warm, so they quickly got used to it.

Royal Palace

After Xiao Han finished court, he heard from Prince Xuan that his mother had been looking for him the day before, so he headed towards the inner palace.

He first went to the Empress Dowager to pay his respects.

In Cixi Palace, the Empress Dowager was wearing a dark purple casual dress embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns, with a matching outer cloak, and was sitting in the main hall.

"Grandson greets His Majesty the Empress Dowager." Xiao Han knelt and bowed to the Empress Dowager.

"No need for formalities, get up quickly, the ground is cold, come and sit down," the Empress Dowager said gently to Xiao Han.

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Xiao Han said as he rose and sat down next to the Empress Dowager.

"It's been cold lately, so please be careful to keep warm and avoid catching a cold, Your Majesty."

"I know, I'm not going anywhere. I'll just stay in this palace and won't get cold. But you all walk around outside every day, so you need to wear more clothes, understand?" The Empress Dowager still gave her loving instructions.

"Thank you for your concern, Grandmother. I understand."

He exchanged a few pleasantries with the Empress Dowager in her palace and then left, after which he went to Shaoyang Palace.

Xiao Han entered the palace and bowed to Consort Shu: "Your subject greets Your Majesty."

"No need to kneel, come here quickly."

Today, Consort Shu wore a bright pink silk brocade dress embroidered with peony patterns, the embroidery of which was exquisite. She also wore a beautiful ruby ​​headdress, which made her look noble and elegant.

Xiao Han sat down next to Consort Shu as instructed. "Mother, did you have something to say to me yesterday?"
