King of German Mercenaries

After signing the paperwork, Marin officially began to prepare to treat the prince. First, Marin asked Ferdinand II to send someone to his place to bring the medicine he had prepared. Then, Marin asked Ferdinand II for some ginger...

"Ginger?" Ferdinand II was a little confused. Ginger is a luxury spice in Europe, used in cooking. Marin asks for ginger, confusing Ferdinand II. But in order to save his son, he didn't say anything, and sent someone to the local pharmacy to search for it. Soon, he found a large package of ginger.

Then, Marin took out the knife, chopped the ginger, took out his leather bag, and took out some white sugar...

"What is this?" Ferdinand II asked curiously.

No wonder he couldn't see it. In this era, the sucrose eaten by Europeans had a lot of impurities and a dark color. Europeans have never seen white sugar like Marin.

"Sucrose, high-purity sucrose, brought back from India by my teacher." Marin was also used to fooling around and said casually.

Ferdinand II had a light in his eyes, but it quickly went out. India, that is Portuguese territory. In fact, Alexander VI and his son had already passed the news that they wanted to authorize Spain to go to India, and wanted to exchange titles and fiefs for the Borgia family.

But opening up an Indian route will certainly offend Portugal. Moreover, I don’t know how profitable it is to open up an Indian route, and whether it is worth the risk. Therefore, the Spanish king couple is still hesitant.

Marin asked people to go to the kitchen to find a clean pot, put chopped ginger and white sugar into it, and start to boil over high heat. And he himself returned to the prince's room.

"Your Majesty, please wait for the irrelevant people to go out first, the minister wants to relieve the fever for His Highness."

To get rid of the fever, it's just taking off the prince's clothes and smearing alcohol. However, it is also indecent to take off the prince's clothes and let so many people watch.

So in the end only the two kings, Princess Margaret and the court doctor remained. The meaning of Ferdinand II is also very simple, and he wants the court doctor to stealthily learn first-hand medical skills.

Marlin, with the help of Princess Margaret, stripped Prince John down to a small inner cool. Then, Marin took out the glass bottle with alcohol...

A strong aroma of wine began to permeate the room, and Ferdinand II sniffed - he was also a wine lover.

"What kind of wine is this? Why is it so strong?"

"This is not wine, Your Majesty, this is the essence of wine extracted from wine. However, this stuff is too strong, and if you drink it, the cow will get drunk. If you drink too much, you may die..."

"Then you still use it for my son? Do you want to kill him?" Ferdinand II changed his face.

"Your Majesty, I brought out the essence of this wine, not for the prince, but for external use..." Marin said speechlessly.

"external use?"

"Yes!" After speaking, Marin began to use a sponge, soaked some alcohol, and began to wipe the surface of the prince's body...

Prince John was hot all over at this time, as if he had been boiled, no wonder those quack doctors wanted to bleed the prince. This symptom, these quack doctors think that the blood is too strong...

Marlin started on the face, carefully rubbing alcohol on Prince John, while Princess Margaret helped. As for Ferdinand II and Isabella I, they watched nervously from the side.

Although Isabella I did not particularly like Prince John, but after all, he was his own son and cared very much. As for Ferdinand II, he completely took Prince John as his heart. He doesn't like daughters, he only likes sons, the standard patriarchal preference...

After applying the alcohol once, the prince's high fever subsided a lot, but it was not enough, so Marin applied it twice. Finally, the prince's body temperature began to gradually subside, at least the high fever no longer bothered the prince.

After the high fever subsided, the prince was somewhat sober. However, after the high fever subsided, the prince became afraid of the cold and called it too cold.

Marin was also in a bit of a hurry.

Seeing that the prince was suddenly afraid of the cold, he immediately brought a towel and dried the prince's body. Then, he took the goose down quilt handed over by Princess Margaret and put it on the shivering prince.

Ferdinand II and Isabella I were very happy that the prince could sober up. But after the prince woke up, he was afraid of the cold, and hid in the bed and shivered, which made them extremely worried.

"Your Highness Princess, order people to bring the medicinal soup?"

"Is it just candied ginger?"

"right!"

Princess Margaret hurried to the kitchen to get ginger soup...

After letting the ginger soup cool down for a while, Marin began to force Prince John to drink up the bowl of ginger soup...  

The prince was very resistant at first and refused to drink. Because, the taste of ginger soup is not good. Marin persuaded several times, but the prince refused to drink.

Marlin was on fire, and yelled at the prince:

"Don't drink it if you want to die, drink it up if you want to live!"

The prince seemed to be stunned, and then, half-forced by Marin, drank the bowl of ginger soup. The prince seemed very uncomfortable and wanted to vomit, but Marin roughly covered his mouth, not allowing him to vomit.

On the side, Ferdinand II and Isabella I were almost scared to ask the guards to capture Marin, but because of his son's illness, Ferdinand II held back.

"His Royal Highness, please send someone to find some quilts!" Marin ordered, and Princess Margaret hurriedly went to find them.

After drinking the ginger soup, you need to cover yourself with a quilt and sweat. Otherwise, it's hard to catch a cold.

However, there is no cotton in Europe at this time, so there is no quilt. The quilt is thick and can be covered with only three quilts.

But there were no quilts in Europe at this time, and the nobles generally used goose down quilts filled with velvet. Although this quilt is light and comfortable, it is not thick enough and is somewhat breathable.

So, Marin asked Princess Margaret to bring 5 goose down duvets in one breath...

"Baron Marin, what do you want?" Ferdinand II asked suspiciously.

"Listen, Your Majesty, please let the prince cover the five velvet quilts, and never allow the prince to kick the quilt off!"

"Ah? Five beds? Will it suffocate John?" Ferdinand II asked worriedly.

"He didn't cover his face, how could he be suffocated? By the way, it's better to wear a thick hat on the prince's head, but his face should still be exposed for ventilation, so as not to hold his breath."

"What's your purpose in doing this?"

"Let the prince sweat profusely, wake up, wait until tomorrow, and the prince will be better than half!"

"what do I need to do?"

"Send someone to watch the prince day and night, and never let the prince's 5-layer quilt slip off or let the prince stick out! All we want is to cover the prince with sweat!"

"Can you really cure my son?"

"Of course, didn't you see that the prince was awake?"

"Oh, that's right..." Ferdinand II, who was usually wise and decisive, also became panicked about his son's illness.

At this time, our Prince, His Royal Highness, seemed very uncomfortable. At this time, he drank a large bowl of ginger soup, and there seemed to be a fire burning in his abdomen, which made his body start to heat up.

Of course, this kind of fever is different from his own fever. The body's own fever will confuse people. And because the ginger soup is hot in the abdomen, it will not confuse the prince.

The prince wanted to breathe, but Marin forced him to cover with five layers of velvet, which made him feel very stuffy.

There was a fire in his chest, but he was covered with a 5-layer quilt, and the prince began to sweat profusely, and his forehead began to sweat.

Everyone else was worried, but Marin felt very good when he saw it. Sweating is a good thing. Sweating means that the medicinal power of the ginger soup has taken effect, and it begins to penetrate the whole body. Moreover, sweating can also send some cold viruses out of the body along with the sweat...

"Let him sweat, remember, when the prince wakes up, bring a big bucket and serve the prince a hot bath. Also, put the fire on the fire, and the temperature of the room can't be lowered. However, the windows are open a little The fan is used for ventilation. But this small window is not allowed to face the prince!" Marin instructed the servant who had just come in to guard the quilt on the prince's body. Of course, these servants did not understand Latin or German, and Princess Margaret translated it for them.

After that, Marin felt that there was nothing to do, so he planned to leave. However, Ferdinand II was uneasy and ordered a room for Marin in the Governor's Palace in Salamanca, not far from the prince's room. If anything happens, come to Marin directly...

In the middle of the night, Marin woke up the Spanish court guards who had arrived in a hurry. Marin was taken aback and thought the prince was dead. Then, he will be held responsible. Because, the gambling agreement stated that if the prince died, he would be imprisoned for at least 5 years. Maybe, Ferdinand II, in a fit of rage, might even chop him off...

With an uneasy mood, Marin followed the guards to the prince's room...

When he got to the prince's room, Marin breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that it was the prince who woke up from sleep instead of hanging up...

The Spanish court guard in Nimad didn't know German, but only a few simple Latin words.

When the prince woke up, he was soaked with sweat as if he had taken a bath. However, Prince John's spirit was much better, he was no longer afraid of cold and heat, and even started to talk cordially with Princess Margaret, who was waiting by his side.

The prince felt uncomfortable at this time, because his clothes were soaked with sweat and stuck to his body, which made him feel uncomfortable. Princess Margaret didn't know what to do, so she sent guards to find Marin. As a result, I didn't make it clear, which shocked Marin.

Naturally, Marin knew what to do, so he had a large oak barrel moved and hot water boiled. Then, Marin directly asked the oak barrels to be moved near the burning fireplace, and the prince went in to take a bath...

"Take a bath... Baron Marin, the bishops said that taking a bath will make you sick, and possibly the Black Death..." Prince John said timidly.

"Listen to me, you had a cold and a fever before, and someone wanted to bleed you! Nimad, you are already weak. If you bleed a few more times, you will almost see God!" Marin said angrily.

Prince John thought it right, so he undressed and jumped into the oak barrel. And Marin also translated through the princess, ordered the servants to close the windows, and increased the fire of the fireplace to increase the indoor temperature...

Before long, the prince took a shower and changed into dry clothes. Afterwards, Marin asked people to replace all the sheets and quilts that had been wet with the prince's sweat on the bed that the prince had slept on before, and put on new sheets and goose down quilts. At the same time, the small window was once again opened with slits for ventilation.

After all, the burning fireplace is quite oxygen-hungry. If the doors and windows are closed too tightly, it is easy to suffocate. It is said that the children of the ancient Western noble families were very easy to die when they were young. The big reason is that the nobles loved their children, burned the fireplace too vigorously, closed the doors and windows too tightly, and then suffocated the children alive...

This time, Marin only asked to cover three goose down quilts to maintain a certain temperature, but not too much...

The next morning, when the prince woke up again, he was much better. Although he was still a little weak, he was able to get out of bed and move around. Obviously, this time, the prince was rescued...

Ferdinand II was so happy that he hugged his son, kissed and laughed, making the prince very embarrassed. After all, the prince is a 19-year-old adult.

However, Ferdinand II does not care. He is a son-controller and likes his son too much. His son almost died, and now that he has recovered, he is naturally extremely happy...

In fact, Ferdinand II was a patriarch. At the beginning, the reason why he married Isabella I, who was still a princess, was to jointly rule the Kingdom of Castile. At the beginning, Isabella I took advantage of Ferdinand II's return to Barcelona when he had something to do, and became queen on his own, which caused Ferdinand II to lose his temper.

Because, in the view of Ferdinand II, although the legal heir of the Kingdom of Castile at that time was Isabella I, the king should be a man, and Isabella should be a queen honestly ...

Moreover, in Ferdinand II's view, a woman being a king is very outrageous...

Therefore, for the surviving children, Ferdinand II only valued Prince John. For a few daughters, they don't take it seriously. Originally, when his son died, Ferdinand II almost collapsed. But after the mad woman Juana took the throne, Ferdinand II showed his incomparably ruthless side-in order to gain the co-governance of the Kingdom of Castile, Ferdinand II almost sent troops to destroy his son-in-law Philip. After Philip died of illness, Ferdinand II also imprisoned his poor daughter Juana, and then took over the power alone. Ferdinand II almost ignored his daughter's madness, but locked her up.

It was very different from his reaction when he learned that Prince John might have had lung disease. You know, when he learned that his son might die from lung disease, Ferdinand II held his son and cried bitterly without fear, and did not mind whether he would contract a fatal disease. But for the crazy Juana, he was too lazy to intervene and let it fend for itself.

It can be seen that Ferdinand II is a man who prefers sons to daughters. Prince John is his heart, and Princess Juana is just a pawn he uses...

Of course, the more Ferdinand II favored Prince John, the happier Marin was. Because, for saving the dying Prince John, Ferdinand II will definitely thank himself...
