After a series of twists and turns, the people who went to purchase the herbs finally returned. Lin Yue couldn't wait to take the herbs and decoct the medicine herself. She stayed by the medicine stove, watching the medicine soup simmering slowly, and silently praying in her heart. After the medicine was decocted, she carefully carried the medicine bowl to Afu's bedside.
"Afu, wake up and drink the medicine,"
Lin Yue softly called out to Afu, trying to rouse him. Afu slightly opened his eyes, looked at Lin Yue, his eyes full of weakness.
"Miss Lin..."
Lin Yue said gently, "Afu, don't talk. Drink the medicine, and you'll get better.
" With Lin Yue's meticulous care, Afu managed to drink the medicine with difficulty.
Miraculously, not long after, Afu's body temperature started to drop, and his face gradually regained its rosy color. Lin Yue looked at the changes in Afu, filled with joy. "Great! There's a turning point in Afu's condition."
Cuier jumped up happily beside her.
"Miss Lin, you're really a miracle doctor!"
Lin Yue smiled faintly. She knew that this was just the first step. Afu's condition still needed further observation and treatment. But at least, her treatment method had achieved initial results.
However, things were not that simple. As Afu's condition improved, some potential problems gradually emerged. Although Afu's body temperature returned to normal, he was still extremely weak. He often fell into a lethargic state, and when he woke up, he was listless and had no appetite for any food. Lin Yue was well aware that this was the great toll the febrile disease had taken on his body, and he needed long - term recuperation.
She began to look through all the medical books she could find in the prince's mansion, hoping to find more effective recuperation methods. At the same time, she consulted the elderly in the prince's mansion and collected various folk recuperation recipes. During this process, Lin Yue discovered that the ancient recuperation concepts had many similarities to the rehabilitation nursing in modern medicine. She decided to combine the two and develop a personalized rehabilitation plan for Afu.
Every day, Lin Yue would personally prepare nutritious food for Afu. These foods were made according to the carefully - prepared recipes. She would boil nourishing soups with fresh ingredients, such as ginseng chicken soup, red date and longan congee, etc. She would also incorporate some herbs into the food to enhance the curative effect. For each dish, she would personally supervise the cooking process to ensure the freshness of the ingredients and the proper heat control.
In addition to dietary recuperation, Lin Yue also paid attention to Afu's mental state. She knew that the long - term suffering of the illness would fill Afu's heart with fear and anxiety, which was very detrimental to his recovery. So, she would set aside time every day to chat with Afu, tell him interesting stories, and encourage him to face his illness positively. With Lin Yue's company, Afu's mental state gradually improved, and a smile began to appear on his face.
However, Lin Yue's efforts were not recognized by everyone. Some servants in the prince's mansion started to gossip in private. They thought that Lin Yue's treatment methods were too complicated and had consumed a large amount of manpower and resources. They felt that since Afu's condition had improved, there was no need to go to such lengths. Some even began to question Lin Yue's motives, suspecting that she was deliberately showing off to get more attention from the prince.
These rumors reached Lin Yue's ears, and she felt very sad. She didn't understand why she, who was whole - heartedly focused on Afu's recovery, was so misunderstood. But she wasn't defeated by these rumors. She firmly believed that what she was doing was right. As long as she could make Afu fully recover, she was willing to endure everything.
When Li Yi learned of these rumors, he was very angry. He immediately summoned all the servants and seriously warned them,
"Miss Lin has been working day and night to save Afu. Her efforts are obvious to all. If anyone dares to gossip again in the future, I will not be lenient."
Under Li Yi's authority, the servants no longer dared to talk casually. But Lin Yue knew that to completely dispel everyone's doubts, she still needed to prove herself with practical actions.
In the following days, Lin Yue took even better care of Afu. She would conduct a physical examination for Afu every day, record his physical condition, and adjust the rehabilitation plan according to the actual situation. After a period of careful recuperation, Afu's body gradually regained its vitality. His mental state improved day by day, and his appetite also returned to normal. Seeing the changes in Afu, everyone in the prince's mansion finally completely believed in Lin Yue. Those who had once questioned her also apologized to her one after another.
