When the prince of no descendants found out that he had a baby, he went crazy

Chapter 77 Don't admit that you can't get it, Gu Hua I have
The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the Lantern Festival.

That day, Gu Hua rejected Qi Yan, Su Fuying and Gu Chen's invitation to go out and see the lanterns. He stayed at home with the children and watched the three of them leave with regret.

It was because she found that after the sun set on the 15th of every month, several children would become listless, and their bodies would feel hot and uncomfortable for unknown reasons. Every time she called a doctor, the doctor could not explain the reason.

Gu Hua looked at the two people who had returned home because of their good performance on the boat last time, and asked them whether they wanted to take the reward money, destroy their indentures and go home, or continue to stay in the Gu Mansion as servants.

Xiao Zi and Xiao Qing were both girls of eleven or twelve years old. They knew that even if they returned with the reward money, their families would probably sell them again after taking the money from them.

In the end, both of them chose to stay.

Gu Hua waved to the two of them and said, "Xiao Qing, go find the butler and ask him to go to the account office to withdraw two hundred taels of silver and invite Doctor Fang who has returned to Jiangzhou to retire."

"Yes." Xiaoqing bowed and left.

Doctor Fang is the imperial physician who returned to his hometown to retire and was invited by Gu Hua to treat the fourth grandfather of the fourth room some time ago. He is generally unwilling to come out to treat patients unless you offer a price that he cannot refuse.

Gu Hua then instructed Xiao Zi, who had a pair of big round eyes and looked extremely clever, "Go get some cold water and wipe the faces of the young masters."

"Cold water?" It was still very cold outside, and Xiao Zi felt that she had heard it wrongly.

"Well, cold water," Gu Hua said without explanation, "Go ahead."

After Xiao Zi came back, she was well trained by Xia He, Chun Lan, Dong Mei and other maids.

Even though he still had doubts in his heart, he did not do anything beyond the scope of asking his master questions, and went out to do his work obediently.

Gu Hua looked at the abnormal blushes on the faces of several children. He reached out and touched each of their cheeks, then reached into their clothes to check their body temperatures, which were also very high.

"Ahh!" Several children opened their eyes uncomfortably and looked at her with her little mouth open and making humming sounds, which made Gu Hua feel heartbroken.

She lowered her head and kissed each of them on the cheek, thinking back to that full moon night a year ago when the guy was also burning hot all over, and it was only when she used her ice power to wrap his body that the temperature came down.

Gu Hua looked at the moonlight coming through the window, a light flashed in his eyes, and he already had some guesses in his mind.

"You bastard, you should inherit some good genes, but you passed on this problem of burning sensation every month to your children. Next time I see you, I will chop you up and feed you to the dogs."

Originally, Gu Hua guessed the reason and wanted to use his supernatural powers to cool down the children so that they could feel more comfortable and survive this full moon night.

But at this time Xiao Zi brought a basin of cold water, wet a towel, and carefully wiped the cheeks of the little ones.

Soon the chief steward also invited Doctor Fang to come.

Gu Hua was no longer in a hurry to cool down the children, but wanted to see what Doctor Fang had to say.

Doctor Fang bowed to Gu Hua, the financial sponsor who made his retirement life better, and said, "Master Gu."

Gu Hua folded his hands in return, "Thank you for your help."

After the two exchanged a few pleasantries, Doctor Fang went over to examine and feel the pulse of the four children.

Gu Hua looked at Old Doctor Fang, whose frown was getting deeper and deeper, almost forming deep furrows, and she had a bad feeling in her heart.

Sure enough, after he had taken the pulses and examined the bodies of the four children, he turned to look at himself and said, "I am ashamed that I cannot diagnose what is wrong with these children."

Gu Hua's bad premonition was confirmed.

Those who can serve as imperial physicians in the palace are capable doctors who have been carefully selected. Even he could not tell what was wrong with the children. It seemed that the disease inherited from that man must be serious.

"Since I can't make a diagnosis, I should return the consultation fee to Mr. Gu." Gu Hua shook his head gently and said sincerely, "Please accept the consultation fee. I may need your help in the future."

"This..." Doctor Fang had been working as an imperial physician in the imperial city for many years and had saved a lot of money, but he had several troublesome children and grandchildren.

If he wasn't worried that he would retire and live in the capital, and that those guys at home would cause trouble that he wouldn't be able to handle himself, why would he bring his entire family back to his hometown to live after leaving the palace?

"Okay, I'll accept it with a thick face." Doctor Fang had a large family to support, so after thinking it over he accepted the two hundred taels of silver.

"From now on, I will only charge fifty taels for seeing patients at Gu's house. What do you think of this, Master Gu?"

Gu Hua: "The old doctor is saving me money, so I am happy about it."

Doctor Fang proposed to charge the Gu family fifty taels of silver for each visit, which might be much higher than the visit fees of other doctors.

But Gu Hua also knew that if it was any lower, it would be an embarrassment to him as an imperial physician from the palace.

"Doctor Fang, the children's body temperatures are so high. Will there be any problems if we use ice to cool them down for a long time?" Although Gu Hua had a way to cool the children down, he was afraid of hurting their bodies, so he asked this question.

Doctor Fang placed his hands under the child's nose and mouth, and felt that the breath they exhaled was hot. He frowned and said, "If I use ice cubes to cool down every time an attack occurs, I'm afraid the child's weak body won't be able to handle it."

Gu Hua, who did not show any weakness even in the face of the zombie king, was now panicking because of those little guys.

"Doctor Fang, is there any herbal medicine that can be used to reduce fever in a gentler way?"

After touching a few children whose bodies were as hot as furnaces, Doctor Fang shook his head and said, "No matter how good the cooling and detoxifying herbs are, it is difficult to lower such a high temperature."

Looking at the children's cheeks getting redder and their whining sounds getting weaker and weaker, Gu Hua wished he could take their place.

He calmed his flustered mind and asked calmly, "Is there no better way?"

Doctor Fang's eyes lit up, then dimmed again, and he said regretfully, "Yes, but that kind of thing is hard to find."

Gu Hua: “What?”

As long as there is something that can cool down children without harming their bodies, she is confident that she can find it no matter where in the world it is and give it to several children.

Doctor Fang did not keep the secret and said directly: "I heard that the snow on the top of Tianyun Mountain in the northernmost snowy area of ​​the Northern Barbarians never melts all year round, and the holy lotus seeds produced by the ice and snow lotus that grows for a hundred years there have the effect of clearing the heart and cooling the spleen.

If we can get this item and have it worn by several children all year round, it may be able to suppress their sudden fevers."

When Gu Hua heard Doctor Fang name several things that the children needed to reduce their fever, his panicked heart calmed down.

For other people, the Holy Lotus Seeds of Tianyun Mountain in the Snow Region are just legendary things, but for Gu Hua, it just so happens that she really has them.

...and it was bought at a very low price.

Send Doctor Fang away.

Gu Hua sent everyone away from the room, took out the palm-sized box from the space and opened it. The seeds of the hundred-year-old ice lotus growing on the top of the snowy area appeared naked before his eyes.

“I don’t know if you little guys are unlucky and have inherited that bad guy’s constitution of getting sick on the 15th of every month.

You four are lucky, I got something that can save your lives early on."
