As soon as Madam Lu entered the room, she rushed toward the bedside, wanting to touch Song Lingzhou, but Song Ci shouted to stop her, glaring at Song Zhiqing.
"Hold your wife back."
Song Zhiqing himself had suffered from pox as a child, so he wasn't as wary. Having been scolded by Song Ci earlier, he didn't dare to rebel and just pulled Madam Lu into his arms, looking at his eldest son on the bed.
Seeing him, his guilt deepened. He hadn't expected his legitimate son to also be so severely ill.
Song Ci didn't add to the chaos either, allowing several doctors to step forward while he asked Madam Zhou about her experience. Hearing that she had contracted pox as a child, he felt slightly relieved; having her care for Song Lingzhou was appropriate.
However, the sudden onset of pox was somewhat concerning.
