Perhaps Liu Shimei had weaker resistance?
Out of the four people who had close contact with the leprosy patient A’fu, only she had been infected. Liang Yi and the other two were fine.
Although she was wearing gloves, they did not provide effective protection against the bacteria. Moreover, she had prolonged exposure to A’fu’s affected areas, making her much more susceptible than the others.
Furthermore, the Nine-Nine Soul-Sucking Needle Formation was very draining on the energy of a needle master. By continuously using several needle formations, her chances of infection increased even more.
Shu Jun was also unaffected.
It was only Liu Shimei who displayed leprosy symptoms. Large lumps started to appear on her body, and her face began to swell, turn red, and emit a faint glow.
This disease was disfiguring. Seeing the once fair and beautiful lady suddenly transformed like this, the silly puppy, who had been staying with her at the Fusheng Pavilion for the past few days, was almost going crazy. “Wife, what should we do!”
He hadn’t held his wife’s hand or kissed her for three days now, and now she was facing this condition. She was going to be disfigured!
It was not that he would mind her appearance, but the key was that now that she was ill, he could not even get close. How could he not be anxious?
“It’s okay, haven’t you noticed that the patient is already getting better? I can treat this disease myself.” Liu Shimei remained calm and isolated herself in the sickroom.
She had locked the door from the inside, so no one could enter. She had opened the window and was speaking to them from at least 20 feet away.
On the table lay prescription papers, and she instructed Mo’er, who stood by the window alongside Huangfu Lingyao, saying, “Mo’er, burn all the clothes I’ve worn these past two days, and fumigate the room with wormwood. Boil all the utensils I’ve used in waste water for half an hour. Anyone who has been in contact with A’fu or me must persist in taking medicine.”
Fortunately, leprosy isn’t an airborne contagion, so everywhere she has passed through and all the air she has touched won’t be affected. She was just trying to eliminate any potential risks.
After finishing the prescription and giving instructions to Mo’er and Shu Jun, Liu Shimei felt a bit weary and lay down on the sickbed.
The disease was detected early, and because she knew how to prevent and treat it, the symptoms weren’t very severe, and the treatment was relatively simple.
Huangfu Lingyao couldn’t enter the room, so he could only talk to her through the window, looking as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. “Wife, please let me in. I want to take care of you!”
“Don’t be stubborn; this is not a joke! Lingyao, listen to me. This is not a small matter. If you don’t obey, I’ll be very, very angry!” At this point, no matter how much of a ‘dog-loving maniac’ she might be, Liu Shimei could not allow the silly puppy near her.
If she did not treat herself first, he might get infected too!
Her tone was clear, with no room for compromise.
“I’m not afraid! Wife, I want to be with you. You must be feeling really uncomfortable right now, and I’m so worried when I can’t see you!” He was already climbing onto the window, intending to crawl inside.
His words may have sounded childish, but they were his heartfelt thoughts.
Not being able to see her but knowing she was sick was too agonizing!
Sensing the commotion, Liu Shimei had to sit up on the bed, her gaze ice-cold as she stared at him. “Huang… Fu… Ling… Yao! If you don’t listen now, then go back to the Royal Residence! Don’t look for me not only during my illness, but even in the future!”
Even though she was sick, she was still fierce!
If he really did not listen, she would actually do that!
