Chapter 191 – The marquis has become infected (2)

In the middle of the night, Ning Yuxuan's restless movements awakened Ji Man. He seemed to be having a nightmare. He kept muttering incomprehensible nonsense, as well as Wen Wan and Jinse's names.

Ji Man rolled her eyes; even his dreams were filled with women. He really was a stallion.

However, she felt surprised when she felt wetness around his eyes. Ji Man's eyes widened. She used a lamp that hadn't been extinguished yet to check. There really was liquid on her fingers.

Was Ning Yuxuan really crying? Ji Man raised her eyebrows and used his clothes to wipe away the liquid on her fingers. Perhaps, he was dreaming that all of his beautiful women had left him, and he was feeling heartbroken.

Her hand accidentally touched his face, and she noticed that it felt somewhat hot. Ji Man paused, then she touched his forehead.

It really did feel a bit hot.

Getting a fever at this point in time was very alarming. Ji Man hurriedly put on her outer robes and went out to call the imperial physician.

In the middle of the night, Feiwan Courtyard became brightly lit. Imperial Physician Lin's expression was very ugly as he checked Marquis Moyu's pulse. In the end, he could only shake his head. “The marquis has smallpox.”

Everyone else in the room immediately and neatly retreated a step. Ji Man turned her head and looked at these women for a moment before asking the imperial physician, “It's possible to treat smallpox, right?”

“The emperor has already ordered the imperial physicians to find a solution,” Imperial Physician Lin said, “But they haven't figured out a cure yet. So, it'll better to isolate the people with smallpox from everyone else.”

It definitely wouldn't be okay to send Marquis Moyu to that relay station. Ji Man gritted her teeth. It wouldn't be okay to wake Old Madame up in the middle of the night either. She could only look at the group of women behind her and say, “This is an emergency. The marquis will be sent to the other estate. Who's willing to go there with him and care for him?”

Jinse turned her head away. Muxu lowered her head and stayed silent. Qi Siling and Qian Lianxue played dead. Surprisingly, it was Liu Hanyun, who rarely spoke, that raised her head and looked at Nie Sangyu.

Ji Man fake smiled. “All of you constantly say that you love the marquis and how you're always thinking about him. But now that something happened to him, you've all become mutes.”

None of these women were brave and willing to risk their own lives. Ji Man also knew that most people in ancient times weren't knowledgeable about smallpox. They thought that smallpox could be spread by a single touch. And so, most of these women didn't dared to step forward, much less follow Marquis Moyu to the other estate to care for him.

“Since it's like that, then I'll personally go to the other estate to take care of the marquis,” Ji Man lightly said, “I'll have to bother someone to go out and have the servants prepare a carriage for us.”

Qi Siling was the first one to make a sound of acknowledgement, then she rushed out of the room. The other people stayed silent. Liu Hanyun kept raising and lowering her head.
