"Did you hear that? The seventh prince was not ill, but infected with the plague. On the first day of the lunar new year, Shengqin Princess personally went to the palace for diagnosis and treatment, and has not come back. "

"Don't be kidding. Who is the seventh prince? How can he catch the plague? Even if she does, Princess Sheng's medical skills are so good that she can definitely cure him. "

"You don't know, do you? It is said that the seventh prince was probably infected with smallpox. Can you tell me if smallpox can be cured No matter how good Princess Shengqin's medical skills are, she can't be more powerful than God. Did you forget about the destruction of xialiang city because of the smallpox city? I think, I'm afraid even the Royal concubine of Shengqin has no idea this time. "

"No, really smallpox? If it comes out... "

"Smallpox.

In recent days, people can hear such comments in every corner of the capital. People often talk about the seven Prince's serious illness in groups. At the beginning, they just said that he was infected with plague. Out of love for the queen and trust in the medical skills of Shengqin princess, most people believe that even if the seventh Prince is infected with the plague, Shengqin princess can cure him, but as time goes by However, the government has not issued any official documents. At this time, it is revealed that the plague of the seventh prince was caused by smallpox which claimed the lives of all the people in xialiang city several years ago. We can't help but be agitated. Because the Spring Festival is approaching, many students who should be admitted to the capital have gathered in succession. Those people even jointly play with the government, hoping that the government can give an account to the people.

It's a strange thing. All the ministers with a little brain know that this is a series of conspiracies designed by someone against the queen and the seventh prince. Ministers from all political parties secretly become active and try to force the emperor to check the seven Prince's illness in person. If it is really a heavenly flower, then not only will the seventh Prince die, but also they will even cheat the king by concealing it without authorization The queen of sin, Prince Sheng, and others will also be punished. At that time, they will be able to eradicate a few big problems.

"Your Majesty, now that there is a lot of public resentment, your majesty can't sit back and ignore it. The seventh Prince has been seriously ill for nearly ten days. If it was chicken pox, it would have been cured. Why are there so many people around Fuqing palace

"The voice of the people can't be avoided, your majesty. I hope your majesty will pay more attention to the people."

"I hope your majesty attaches great importance to the people."

Outside the imperial study, the courtiers knelt on their knees, and the leading ministers burst into tears. After shouting in unison, a group of people kowtow to the imperial study. Although the guards outside did not move like a mountain, they were still shocked to see this rare scene. In the imperial study, Yan Shengzhi sat on a dragon chair with a black face and high hands All the folded books are the memorials of the ministers he stopped these days. Without exception, they are all requests for him to explore the real cause of the seventh prince.

"Touch"

"Zhang Dezi, go and announce Lao Jiu to me."

Hearing those voices outside, Yan Shengzhi angrily sweeps down to the ground the folded pieces of the Dragon case. His angry eyes are almost burning with substantive sparks, including resentment against ministers and unhappiness with Fuqing palace. He is not stupid. Today is the tenth day of Xiao Qi's illness. Instead, Fuqing palace is not lax at all. On the contrary, it intensifies Zhang Shengsheng and kills him They don't believe that Xiao Qi is really chicken pox. On the other hand, he also knows that Xiao Qi's illness must have been deliberately done by someone, regardless of whether Xiaoqi is plague or smallpox. His behavior of avoiding meeting is tantamount to admitting. If this continues, I'm afraid even he can't suppress it.

"Yes, yes.

Knowing that it was not suitable now, Prince Sheng would never have left Fuqing palace for half a step. Zhang Dezi was still shaking and going out. This matter could not be concealed for a long time.

The back hall of Fuqing palace.

"Jingxuan, I heard that you have developed vaccinia?"

Hearing the good news, Chu Yunhan didn't care so much. Excited, he rushed into Xiao Qi's bedroom. Ling Jingxuan, who was injecting himself, nodded weakly: "well, I've tried it myself. We've succeeded. I've taught Shanzi how to plant vaccinia and vaccinate. Xiaoqi and Xiaojiu will be fine soon. Yunhan, you can organize people outside Let them all be ready for vaccination, and then strive for time to cultivate for two days. They can almost recover. I also need a rest

Pulling out the needle, Ling Jingxuan's whole body is powerless to lie on the table top. Zhao Shan, who is planting smallpox for Xiaoqi, is startled. He quickly signals the doctor to take over and rushes to catch his hand to signal for him.

"Jingxuan, are you..."

Chu Yunhan also nervously leaned over, his big eyes seemed to realize something, and his eyes were moist.

"Master, you are infected."

Zhao Shan looked at him with red eyes. He didn't notice that his master was also infected with smallpox. No wonder he has been in a bad mood for the past two days. He thought he was tired. He must have been supporting himself?

"It doesn't matter. I've planted vaccinia for myself, and I'm just sick. I can recover after a rest. Go to help you, Shanzi. I think it's going to be a storm outside. We have to hurry up."

Ling Jingxuan weak lying on the table, yesterday he found that he was infected with the virus, but he did not tell anyone, now he is their only spiritual support, and even the outside Shengrui is counting on him. If he falls down, the world will really be in chaos. With his Wang Ye's temperament, he may not be able to do anything. Fortunately, he developed vaccinia in time I planted it for myself. At most, he will recover tomorrow. Even if they know it, it doesn't matter."Um," wiping his tears at random, Zhao Shan stood up and went to the ninth prince. He picked up his tools again and prepared to plant it for the ninth Prince and other people who had been infected with smallpox. Now he believes that Ling Jingxuan is the only thing he can do.

"Jingxuan."

Chu Yunhan takes over and hugs Ling Jingxuan's weak body and tries to make him lean in his arms as much as possible. His heart is full of complex emotions. If it was not for Xiao Qi, for him, Jingxuan would not

"Don't worry. I'm fine, Yunhan. If you can, take me to another room to have a rest. I can't walk. We still need a few days for Xiao Qi to recover. You still have to persist for a few days. However, I think it may be impossible for Yan Er to tell Shengrui to send a letter to Wuyang. Besides, don't tell Shengrui about my illness. I'm afraid he will be disordered It's measured. "

Smallpox is indeed a special medicine for smallpox, and it will not be fatal to the human body, but it will affect them more or less. Ling Jingxuan is so weak that his eyes can't open. He can only see his mouth wriggling. Chu Yunhan can't help tightening his hand. Even if he doesn't know the effect of smallpox on human body, it can be seen from unconsciousness two days before the onset of Xiaoqi that smallpox is so terrifying and respectful Xuan can still insist on waking up to now. It can be seen that his willpower is so strong. He is such a powerful man, but he was defeated in front of smallpox for them.

"Well, I'll take you to rest right away."

Jingxuan is still insisting, what reason does he have to be decadent? Heartache and guilt can't turn him. Chu Yunhan sucks his nose and forcibly forces back tears. He bends down and holds Ling Jingxuan, who is nearly unconscious.

In the outer hall, Yan Shengrui and Zeng Shaoqing sat side by side. Zhang Dezi, who came to preach the order, stood in front of them. Yan Shengrui looked at him like a torch. He couldn't say anything. Zeng Shaoqing beside him disdained his lips and wanted to know what he was coming for. Brother Dahuang let them down. It was his own son and empress who suffered inside He can't carry it in ten days? It is no wonder that his harem is in such a mess when an emperor is left to his ministers.

"If you don't say anything, get out of here!"

The longer the delay lasted, the more irritable they became. However, Zhang Dezi's appearance of not saying anything was simply a disguised test of his patience.

"Sheng, Prince Sheng, please come to the imperial study."

As the emperor's first confidant eunuch, Zhang Dezi is held high everywhere. Who dares not give him face? Only prince Sheng did not dare to be presumptuous in front of him. He would rather bear the anger of the Emperor than face Prince Sheng. He could only fear Prince Sheng with his eyes. Besides Prince Sheng, there was no other one in the world.

"Tell my brother that I'm not free. If he wants to see him, he'll come by himself."

He can't guarantee whether he can leave after coming here!

"Yes.

Even though he knew it was not right, Zhang Dezi retreated and continued to stand in front of him. He was afraid that he was going to pee his pants.

"Hum, since he has decided to make Xiao Qi the crown prince, even if he guesses something or is forced by his subjects, he should use the imperial power to suppress him. We are still working hard. What is he panicking about? Are those ministers kneeling outside the imperial study really dare to kill themselves one by one? "

After seeing him leave, Zeng Shaoqing is not happy with the cold hum, but he also dotes on Yunhan, which is his mother's fart.

"If he had that courage, he would not be the emperor we knew."

For ordinary people, the emperor is indeed a good emperor, but in the overall situation, he still lacks the emperor's unique authoritarian courage. They both smile bitterly at each other. If he didn't use it, they would not have so much scruples.

"What's the matter?"

Yan Shengrui suddenly raised his head, and his sight accurately swept to a certain direction. Zeng Shaoqing followed him. Yan Er appeared on one knee and knelt down: "Lord, the princess asked his subordinates to remind you that you can send a letter to Xue Wuyang."

"Well?"

If he didn't say anything about it, he really forgot. Now the situation is becoming more and more tense. It has changed outside. What can a foreigner do to send a letter to Xue Wuyang?

"Does the princess have any details?"

Zeng Shaoqing also frowned. They were a little confused. They didn't know what Ling Jingxuan wanted to do. It was impossible to say that he had made a plan. Xiao Qi had a sudden attack. They could almost say that they would just leave. It was impossible for him to have time to arrange things slowly.

"No

Yan Er took a look at it. Yan Shengrui secretly carved a piece of paper and then suddenly burst out laughing: "Si, let someone go back to the palace to send a letter to Xue Wuyang. The content is as the princess said before. In this case, only he can delay time for us."

"Yes"

Yan Si didn't show up. They just heard his voice. Before he got up and left, Yan Er hesitated to look at Yan Shengrui, struggling to tell him about the princess's illness.

"Anything else?"

Keen to catch his tangled vision, tiger eyes firmly locked him, Yan Er was stunned, and then he closed his eyes: "no, my subordinates are just thinking about what the princess is going to do."After all, he did not say that he had betrayed his master, but that he knew his master as well as the princess. If he knew that the princess was ill, the master would not know what kind of madness he would be.

"Jingxuan is to relieve our pressure."

Yan Shengrui didn't think much about his daughter-in-law. Even he could not help admiring his daughter-in-law. When it comes to wisdom, he is undoubtedly above all of them.
