The smile on the fourth brother's face disappeared instantly, but the third brother half leaned on her, making it impossible for her to kowtow.

She looked down at the weak third child who had just woken up, gritted her teeth secretly, and leaned over to say, "Greetings, Her Majesty the Princess. May Her Majesty be safe and sound."

The third child finally woke up, and even at the risk of being punished, she didn't want to put him back on the thin mattress on the ground.

How to do?

But at this time, the eldest and second oldest who were the most capable were not there, leaving only the three youngest.

The third brother was so anxious that he was sweating all over, but he was so weak that he couldn't even struggle, let alone do anything. His lips were extremely pale.

Looking at the three people in front of him who were trembling with fear, Qin Yaoguang slowly let out a breath.

It's so difficult to improve favorability!

She chose this time to come here deliberately because she knew that the eldest brother had sent the doctor out and the second brother had gone to Chuntang Garden.

There are only three youngest ones left, so they are easy to fool.

Who would have known that the original owner had been too reckless in the past, causing the three children to be so terrified when they saw her that they couldn't even communicate normally with her.

This was after she had asked Nanny Deng to deliver food, sent a cook, and hired a doctor for the third son.

Qin Yaoguang cleared her throat uncomfortably, and put on the airs of an eldest princess, saying, "Everyone, get up. I came here only because I heard that the third brother was ill, so I came to see him."

How could the things about Zhufeng Court be hidden from her eyes?

After knowing that the third brother's high fever was caused by a cold and not an infection from the wound, Qin Yaoguang felt relieved, but then he started to worry again.

In ancient times, people often had some wrong ideas when caring for patients. She wondered if the world in the book was the same. At the moment, she didn't care about the children's fear of her. Once she found the opportunity, she couldn't help but come and take a look.

As soon as she entered the room, Qin Yaoguang was almost stunned.

Although the outside of the house looks dilapidated, at least it has a foundation of carved beams and painted buildings. With a little repair, it can be restored to its former splendor.

The room was shabby, with few decent furniture. In the late autumn, the third child lay on a bamboo bed with only a thin mattress underneath.

Because he was ill, the children shut all the windows tightly, but because the holes in the window screens had not been repaired, the cold wind still kept pouring in.

The capital city is located in the north, and it gets colder day by day after autumn.

It's not as damp and cold indoors as in the south. In the absence of a stove indoors, there is no difference between indoors and outdoors, both are equally cold.

The only good thing is that due to sufficient ventilation, there is no odor in the room, which is beneficial for patients with fever.

Qin Yaoguang just took a look at the thin clothes on the three children and smiled bitterly.

What a sin, what a sin!

Qin Yaoguang squatted down, gently wiped the snot that was running down Lao Wu's nose due to the cold with a piece of silk, and stretched out her arms to hug him.

She has never taken care of a child, but that doesn't affect her maternal instinct.

The thin, small and well-behaved child in front of her was nothing like the naughty kids she had encountered in her memory, which only made her want to pity him.

Lao Wu was so scared that he was dumbfounded.

He stared at the white silk with a pattern of flowing clouds and a hundred blessings embroidered in gold thread, and the places on it that were stained by his snot, and swallowed hard.

Oh no, such a beautiful thing was dirty by him, what should I do?

When he came to his senses, he found himself in her arms.

Lao Wu was shaking with nervousness, but his nose smelled the scent of Du Heng, which made him feel relaxed, and he felt Qin Yaoguang's gentle embrace.

He had long lost his memory of his mother. The scent and warmth from Qin Yaoguang reminded him of his mother, and he uncontrollably leaned closer to her arms.

Qin Yaoguang handed the silk to Guyu, picked up the fifth child, looked at the nervous third and fourth children and said, "I'll take the fifth child to take a hot bath and dress warmly."

He pointed at Guyu who was staying behind and said, "Have someone bring a basin of hot water. Use the warm water to wipe the palms, back of the neck, and soles of the feet of the third brother. Use cold water to apply to his forehead."

Physical cooling of a high fever is common knowledge that people are familiar with in modern society, but Qin Yaoguang was met with Guyu's confused look.

Qin Yaoguang remembered that even in ancient times there were similar methods of cooling down, so it couldn't be that he was completely ignorant of them, right?

Her heart suddenly shuddered and she reminded herself: This is the world of books. The development of science, technology, medicine and other knowledge may not be synchronized with the real ancient times. She can't take it for granted.

It seems that I have to be more careful in the future.

So she added, "These methods can help him cool down."

If the third child was not only eleven years old, wiping his body with white wine would have cooled him down faster. But he was just a child, and had been malnourished for a long time, so he was afraid that he would not cool down but get alcohol poisoning instead.

After giving the instructions, Qin Yaoguang didn't care what they would think and walked out with Lao Wu in his arms.

However, with her delicate body, how could she hold a child? Even though Lao Wu was so thin that he was just a bag of bones, Qin Yaoguang was a little out of breath after holding him for only a few steps.

"Your Highness, please give the Fifth Young Master to this servant."

Seeing that she was having a hard time holding the child, Chunfen reached out and took the fifth child.

Lao Wu's face was filled with confusion. He had never been hugged like this since he could remember. He had no idea where Qin Yaoguang would take him, but he was too scared to ask.

Seeing that they had already left the Wind-Chasing Courtyard, he simply put his arms around Chunfen's neck and whispered in her ear, "Sister, you are too tired to hold me. I can walk by myself."

The sensible little baby voice almost melted Chunfen's heart.

She was just a servant, and she felt sorry for the children in Zhufeng Courtyard who were being abused every day. However, she couldn't help but feel sorry for her master because of these concubines' children, and her mood was always conflicted.

Not only her, but all the other servants who served Qin Yaoguang had more or less the same thoughts.

At this moment, Qin Yaoguang showed that she would not embarrass them anymore, and Chunfen and the others breathed a sigh of relief. She hugged the little body of Lao Wu and said with a smile: "Fifth Young Master, you are so light, I won't feel tired holding you."

Chunfen knew that these children were thinner than their peers. Now as he held them in his arms, he felt that this child didn't even have much meat on his buttocks, and he felt really pity for them.

Qin Yaoguang heard the conversation between the two behind him, stopped and turned around, stroked Lao Wu's little face with her fingers, and said with a smile: "You are so thoughtful at such a young age, you are just a child. The mistakes made by adults have nothing to do with you."

What she said hit the nail on the head. Lao Wu shyly turned his face away and lay on Chunfen's shoulder.

Chunfen knew that the princess said this to her on purpose, telling them not to treat the five children with contempt in the future. As for how these children came about, it had nothing to do with the servants.

"Yes, the servant knows."

Chunfen responded cautiously, but Zhufeng Courtyard was in a panic.
