Seeing that the Princess Anyang had finally left, Liu Mengdia was prepared to chat with him a little more about the little girl from Hong.

He leaned on the bed and slid down, the Mrs. Liu pulled up his blanket and weakly said to Liu Mengdia: "Alright, I'm very tired, you should go back first, in the future, do not be as reckless as you are today."

"I …" was at a loss for words, what recklessness, it was obvious that there was something she was hiding from her. Liu Mengdia bit her lower lip angrily, but seeing that Mrs. Liu had already closed her eyes, she knew that Mrs. Liu did not want to say anything, and wanted to send her away.

Although Liu Mengdia was unwilling, she could do nothing about it. She could only bend her body, and gently said: "Yes, then daughter will be going back first. If mother has any needs, please feel free to let the servants come and call me."

After saying that, Liu Mengdia walked out of the room. She stretched her head out into the private room to take a look, but she did not see anything.

"Miss, could it be that you suspect that there is a trick to this?" After coming out from Mrs. Liu's room, she had been thinking about something, so she opened her mouth to ask.

Liu Mengdia nodded with a heavy heart. Although all of this seemed normal, Liu Mengdia still felt that something was amiss. But she couldn't say what was wrong.

This was the most annoying part.

"Princess Anyang has always been on good terms with Mother. Mother was sick today and came over as soon as she was in a hurry. However, there wasn't any hint of worry in her words as she was busy reprimanding me …"

Liu Mengdia thought about Princess Anyang's high and mighty look and hated him so much that her teeth itched. If she could marry into the palace one day, how could she still be angry about it?

Although Liu Ruyan looked honest, she was actually quite shrewd. The position of the favored consort she was in right now should clearly be hers!

"There's something fishy about Mother's illness." Liu Mengdia turned around to take a look, then continued: "Other than my pitiful older sister, who else could Mother pretend to be sick for!?"

"But yesterday, two of our eunuchs came over, and they also said that Concubine Hui's smallpox is approaching menacingly, and is now isolated in the courtyard. No one is allowed to visit, and His Majesty has repeatedly refused to enter even if he wanted to.

"No matter how smart Concubine Hui is, she can't be deceived along with His Majesty. Don't you think so?

"Although the old lady is sick, this servant does not seem worried. It's just that when people get older, their bodies tend to have problems. Maybe the Princess Anyang knows that the old lady is fine, so she shouldn't come over to talk with the old lady."

Just now, when Liu Mengdia entered the room, everything seemed to be normal, but she could not find anything out of the ordinary. She looked around the room, but did not see anything out of the ordinary.

Could it be that she was being overly worried?

"Forget it, maybe I am really being paranoid now, and that big sister of mine doesn't have the guts to deceive His Majesty, the crime of bullying the Sovereign, that would implicate our General's Mansion!"

Liu Mengdia finally convinced herself and raised her hand to straighten her sideburns. Liu Mengdia looked at Ping`er and laughed: "You are clever, I will take five taels of silver from my room as a reward."

Ping`er's face revealed joy, she immediately turned and thanked Liu Mengdia.

Speaking of which, if her elder sister really had the thing that killed people due to smallpox, then wouldn't she be in grave danger now? That Hong girl …

The more Liu Mengdia thought about it, the happier she became, the more happy she got, the more she felt that she was unable to treat him, and looking at her older sister's fate, if she was truly unlucky, then she would lose it just like that, and everything would be for nothing.

God bless her, let her sister leave like this, when the time comes, she can deal with that annoying Hong as she pleases.

Perhaps, in order to comfort her majesty, the General's Mansion would send her to the palace. At that time, it would be her turn.

Thinking of this, Liu Mengdia couldn't help but to raise her handkerchief and smile.

Within the palace, the news of Lian Chengming bringing his people to the Zichen Palace had reached Lin Jinxiu.

Lin Jinxiu was originally idling around in her own palace, but when she heard the news, her expression immediately changed., who came to deliver the message, reported in a low voice, "Empress, Concubine Zhen and the others have already left for the Zichen Palace.

Even His Majesty had to rush to see that Concubine Hui of the Zichen Palace when she received such a life-threatening smallpox.

Lin Jinxiu's face was extremely ugly, she used her temper and scolded: "Go, hurry up!"

In the end, Honglan was clever, she quickly turned and followed behind Lin Jinxiu.

Although Lian Chengming knew that Liu Ruyan did not have any more Zichen Palace left, she still had to pretend.

Everyone knew that His Majesty only doted upon the harem Concubine Hui. If this Concubine Hui got smallpox, Lian Chengming would never come and visit her again.

And it was precisely because of this reason that he had already asked the Eunuch Xu to release the news that he was coming to Zichen Palace before he came. Presumably, the entire imperial harem had already received the news at this time, so the Zichen Palace should be very lively right now.

As expected, Concubine Zhen was already waiting in front of Zichen Palace. Seeing Lian Chengming coming, he grabbed the handkerchief and knelt down, and the servants behind him also knelt down, forcibly blocking the way to Zichen Palace.

"What are you all doing!" Lian Chengming's face turned cold as he shouted in anger.

Concubine Zhen kneeled on the ground, expressing sincerely, "Your Majesty, the disease of smallpox cannot be underestimated. Your Majesty's dragon body is important, you absolutely cannot get close to this Zichen Palace!"

"Your Majesty —" From afar, Lin Jinxiu and Ann Miao'er also ran over with small steps. The flustered and flustered expression on their faces was completely evident.

"Your Majesty, you cannot enter!" Lin Jinxiu and Ann Miao'er knelt at the side, and the people who were kneeling in front of the Zichen Palace gate immediately fell to the ground.

"The smallpox is the easiest to infect. Imperial Physician Jiang quarantined the Zichen Palace for the sake of His Majesty. I hope that His Majesty will place importance on the body of the dragon. Do not be careless!"

Imperial Physician Jiang, who was standing at the head of the palace, heard the commotion and also ran out in a hurry. When he saw the people kneeling on the ground in front of the palace entrance, he immediately became a little flustered and echoed: "Your Majesty, please believe this humble subject. This humble subject will do everything in his power to treat this Concubine Hui.

Seeing that, Lian Chengming knew that he had done enough, and pretended to be cold and unhappy, snorting coldly and bringing Eunuch Xu back the way he came.
