Chapter 248 Acne
When Chunhong returned home, she was still searched. The purse did not attract the attention of the nursing home. She successfully entered the home with the purse containing the safety charm.
It was easy to just bring the purse into the house, but it was quite difficult for Chunhong, who was only a third-class maid, to deliver the peace charm to the master.
Chunhong, who was immersed in love, came back to her senses, thought of this problem, and frowned with a headache.
At this moment, she still did not doubt Xiaodouzi's intentions. She only thought that Xiaodouzi was an ordinary businessman who did not understand the strict rules of a wealthy family.
After the maid who lived in the same room with her came back, she deliberately asked: "When I went back today, my mother talked about my brother and said that he was a night cryer. I wonder if the young prince cries at night?"
"I've never heard that the young prince cries at night. I heard from people in Rujingyuan that the young prince is very well-behaved. As long as he is around the princess, he doesn't make any noise at all." The maid said.
"I heard people say that babies cry at night. What if the prince cries at night in the future?" Chunhong said with a sad face.
The maid looked at her with strange eyes, "Chunhong, do you want to serve the young prince?"
"Don't you want to?" Chunhong asked.
The maid sighed and said: "What's the use of it? It's impossible to go. The people waiting in the mirror courtyard are all the old servants of the princess's mother's family."
"The princess only trusts people from her mother's family, and is as wary as thieves towards those of us who have been brought back from Sinufang." Chunhong said with resentment.
The maid was startled by her words, "Chunhong, you are crazy!"
"I'm not wrong." Chunhong said unconvinced.
"Chunhong, you have been working as an errand in the mansion for several years. Don't make a mistake." The maid stood up and added, "You can take care of yourself."
After saying that, she walked out of the room and ignored Chunhong. She always felt that Chunhong seemed to have changed in the past few months.
Chunhong curled her lips disapprovingly and took out the purse from her arms.
The purse was embroidered with lotus flowers, and Chunhong's heart was shaken. She must be a maid, so that she would not be randomly matched by her master, and she could marry Brother Dou.
Chunhong thought about it, then opened her purse and took out the peace charm inside.
On the yellow talisman paper, the talisman is written in cinnabar, which looks mysterious.
"Brother Dou, don't worry, I will definitely find a way to present the peace talisman." Chunhong murmured to herself, encouraging herself.
But before she could come up with a solution, she felt a little dizzy the next day, but she didn't care and went to the sewing room to get the shoe insoles.
In the next few days, she continued to feel uncomfortable and couldn't muster the energy to think about things.
If a little maid feels unwell, she will not disturb Jiang Changning.
Jiang Changning was currently teaching his precious son to turn over. The warm pavilion was covered with thick carpets, floor dragons, and a charcoal stove making the room warm as spring.
"Come on, son, watch." Jiang Changning slowly turned over.
Xiao Ming was wearing a small jacket, which was very light. He turned over on his stomach in one swift movement and showed a toothless smile to his mother.
"Baby, that's amazing. You turned it over so well. Come again." Jiang Changning turned it over again.
Xiao Ming followed suit and turned over, lying on his back.
This game is very fun, Xiao Ming never gets tired of playing it.
Jiang Changning turned over a few times, and then stopped playing with him. He sat on the kang and watched him turn over, and kept encouraging him, "Baby, it's great!"
"My mother is so obedient and awesome!"
Amid Jiang Changning's encouragement, Xiao Ming turned even more vigorously, sweating on his forehead, until Nanny Feng came in and said: "Princess, the prince is still young, it will be too hard to keep turning over."
Jiang Changning quickly picked up his son, but Xiao Ming was not happy yet. He twisted his little body and wanted to go down and continue to read, "Good boy, we will read again tomorrow."
He reached into his clothes and found that this boy was so angry that his clothes were moist with sweat.
First cover him with a handkerchief, and then change his clothes after Xiao Ming has stopped sweating.
Jiang Changning did these things personally and did not leave it to the nanny.
Xiao Ming changed into dry clothes, with a sweet smile on his chubby face. Jiang Changning asked him to lie half on the pillow, took a book of poetry, and said, "It's time for cultural education class."
Xiao Ming liked to listen to his mother reading poems to him very much. He stared at Jiang Changning with his big eyes without blinking, with a serious look on his face, as if he could really understand.
The days when Jiang Changning raised his son were as peaceful as water, until a few days later, the housekeeper came to report in a hurry: "Princess, several embroiderers in the sewing room have fallen ill."
In the first month of the year, the weather hasn't warmed up yet, so it's normal to get cold and sick. Jiang Changning didn't think much about it, "Xiulan, take the sign and ask the doctor to come and take a look at them."
At this glance, it was obvious that there was a big problem. "Do you think you have acne?" Jiang Changning was shocked.
Acne is also known as smallpox. It is a severe infectious disease. Under current medical conditions, there is almost no possibility of curing the disease.
"Let's ask a few more doctors." Jiang Changning held on to a certain amount of luck, hoping that it was a misdiagnosis.
But this luck was soon broken. Chunhong, who was the first to suffer the disease, had the most obvious symptoms of acne and fainted due to high fever.
Although several doctors could not cure the acne, they knew how to prevent the infection. They first arranged for the royal family members to go out of the palace to avoid the acne.
The concubine knew that someone in the house had acne, and her face suddenly turned pale, "What should we do? What should we do?"
"Concubine, don't be afraid. We don't have much contact with the maids in the sewing room, so we definitely haven't contracted the disease. Now we are staying away from the house. We will come back after a hundred days."
"Okay, okay, let's get out of the house quickly." The concubine said eagerly.
Later, Jiang Changning learned that a cousin of the concubine died of acne.
The incident happened suddenly, and the Huaibei Palace was also closer. Jiang Changning asked everyone to move to the Jiang residence where she lived before getting married.
The infected people were then gathered together and sent to the Pouch Empress Temple in the western suburbs for isolation.
Disinfection began in the palace, and all belongings of infected patients were burned, and the ashes were sent to a mass grave outside the city for burial.
The purse containing the peace charm was also burned. No one knew that the outbreak of acne in the Jin Palace was intentional.
When King Jin heard the news, he hurried to Jiang's house and saw Jiang Changning humming a tune to coax his son to sleep.
"Ning Ning, are you and your son okay?" King Jin asked in a low voice.
"I don't know, acne has an incubation period. Fortunately, the ones affected are all maids in the sewing room, not the dining room. The possibility of us contracting the disease is still relatively small." Jiang Changning had a faint look of worry on his brows.
She is not afraid of catching the disease, but her son is still so young, what should she do if he catches the disease?
"It'll be okay." King Jin stepped forward and hugged the mother and son into his arms, "The improved water seedling method can prevent acne, and even if it does occur, it can also alleviate the condition."
"I have heard of the water seedling method, but not the improved water seedling method." Jiang Changning has read many miscellaneous books, and she knows that in this era, there are four ways to prevent acne.
Although these four methods, the acne dressing method, the acne pulp method, the dry seedling method and the water seedling method, can prevent acne, they also have certain risks.
