Lin Zhixuan nodded slowly, so good, she could finally rest assured, only then did she remember the matter in front of her, and looked at Concubine Cai: "What does Sister Cai think about Concubine Wulan?"

Concubine Cai was suddenly named, and she was startled again, and hurriedly came back to her senses, but she also hesitated a little: "This ...... The concubine felt that Steward Liu's words were reasonable. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Lin Zhixuan also thought about it, so she nodded and said: "That's it, it's up to me to say that the prince is here, it's just that this palace is so simple to lose someone, so what if someone wants to come in? Besides, there is a lot of chaos outside, no matter what, we must strengthen the precautions in the palace, and there can be no such thing happening again." ”

Liu Yi bowed in response.

Su Yu's heart tightened, and he stepped forward and said, "Niangniang, could it be that there is a side concubine in the palace, and Niangniang actually lets it go?"

Lin Zhixuan looked up in a little surprise and looked at Su Yu, although through the curtain, Lin Zhixuan could vaguely see the handsome face of the man outside, as well as the anxiety on that face.

Lin Zhixuan didn't say a word, just looked at him quietly, and for a long time, Su Yu was unmoved, still bowing down and asking for his life. Lin Zhixuan seemed to have guessed something in her heart, finally sighed, nodded slowly, and said: "What Lord Su said is also reasonable, then please ask Lord Su to carefully pick out a few smallpox to go out and look for it, but only this day, if you can't find it today, you will already be far away tomorrow, and it will be even more hopeless to find it again." ”

Su Yu's eyes lit up, and he gave Lin Zhixuan another look, and hurried to go, but Lin Zhixuan hadn't finished his orders, so he had to say to Liu Yi: "When those little guys come back, all their clothes will be burned, and they will be allowed to enter the house again after bathing in vinegar water in the gatehouse." ”

Liu Yi bowed down and went himself.

There are more and more refugees who have escaped from the capital, and the people in the mansion are very anxious, since Lin Zhixuan took this errand from Meng Zegui, only on this day, there are more than ten things that come and go in the courtyard, and Concubine Cai is pointing from the side, Lin Zhixuan is very fast. After going back and forth, the two became more and more intimate.

And Su Yu went to look for a day, and sure enough, he looked for a needle in a haystack and came back dejectedly, but he got news from the palace and returned to the capital.

The next day, the side concubines and concubines came to ask for peace, no one was late, and they acted very respectfully, only Meng Zegui and Zhou took leave, saying that they were cold, Lin Zhixuan was sympathetic, and specially sent someone to Xiyuan to invite a doctor to take care of the two of them.

The doctor and Lin Zhixuan reported their illnesses one by one, and if they were really sick, there was no false report, so Lin Zhixuan only asked the doctor to take care of them, and also saved the two of them from getting up in the morning to say goodbye.

Lin Zhixuan asked Su Yu about the situation in the palace every day, and Su Yu only said: "In order to ensure the stability of the country, the princes have temporarily concealed the illness of the emperor and the crown prince, and only reported it to the outside world, but in fact, they explained that it was in danger. Wang Jingsheng, the minister of the guard, has already sent people to block the forbidden palace, and Lord Zuo, the commander of the Nine Gates, has also strengthened the defense in the imperial city. The situation between the DPRK and China is very complicated, and the ministers will soon be in the inner palace, but they just listen to the orders of the prince, and they don't know how to do things. ”

Lin Zhixuan nodded, and then asked, "Since the palace is already so armed, how can you still get in and pass on the news to the prince?"

Su Yu said: "After all, smallpox is rampant now, and even the people in the army are unstable, so there is always a chance to take advantage of it." ”

Lin Zhixuan was relieved at this time, asked some trivial things, and instructed Su Yu to leave if the prince asked how to answer Yunyun.

Since the first two lessons, those side concubines and ladies have all kept to themselves, but they haven't made any tricks, but this one complains that the food is not good, and the other complains that the two sentences of charcoal are not enough, if it makes trouble, Lin Zhixuan just asked Qiu Ju to scold her in the past, and then stopped.

It was late at night, Lin Zhixuan had already lay down, and it was Xia Lan who kept vigil for Lin Zhixuan tonight, and she was about to fall asleep, when she suddenly heard a hurried knock on the door.

Lin Zhixuan suddenly woke up, and only came to ask Xia Lan: "What's wrong?"

Xia Lan said: "Don't get up first, be careful of freezing, I'll take a look." ”

Xia Lan went to light the lamp first, and then went to open the door, but she never thought that it was Gu's mother, Gu's mother also kept vigil tonight, but she was in the ear room outside, guarding the courtyard door for Lin Zhixuan, and preparing water to drink at night and wash up tomorrow morning.

Xia Lan was also surprised when she saw Gu's mother coming, and only asked, "Why did Mom come over?"

Gu's mother said, "I want to see Niangniang." ”

Seeing that Gu's mother was anxious, Xia Lan didn't dare to delay, so she hurriedly let her in.

Lin Zhixuan heard that it was Gu's mother's voice, she had already put on her clothes and got up, and opened the curtain: "What's wrong with Gu's mother?"

Seeing this, Xia Lan hurriedly stepped forward to put on a fox fur cloak for Lin Zhixuan and helped hang up the curtain.

Gu's mother said: "Niangniang, Steward Liu asked to see her, and she was waiting outside, saying that Concubine Wulan was back." ”

Lin Zhixuan was taken aback: "What? Why did you come back at this time?"

Gu's mother said: "Steward Liu didn't talk to me in detail, so I can only meet my mother in person, and I can only explain it clearly with my mother." ”

Lin Zhixuan expected that things would not be simple, otherwise a smart person like Liu Yi would not have panicked to disturb him late at night, so she immediately asked Xia Lan and Gu's mother to serve her to change her clothes.

Lin Zhixuan was only wearing homely clothes, tied her hair in a bun at will, and invited Liu Yi to come in after a while, but set up a screen.

Lin Zhixuan asked Gu's mother to go out, leaving only Xia Lan to serve her.

Liu Yicai said: "Niangniang, the young man came to report, someone knocked on the door, it turned out to be Aru who came back with the concubine of Wulan, but the concubine of Wulan was infected with smallpox and was seriously ill, and the slave really didn't know how to deal with it, whether to carry people into the house, and asked Niangniang to show it." ”

Liu Yi listened to the movement inside, he really didn't dare to take this responsibility, Su Yu was not in the house at this time. If he gets people in, smallpox infects others in the future, his sin is unforgivable, if he doesn't let people in, then he is Wei Mingxu's side concubine, he really can't bear the responsibility, he can only throw this hot potato to Lin Zhixuan.

Lin Zhixuan and Xia Lan were both shocked, and Lin Zhixuan thought for a while before saying, "I heard Concubine Cai say that there is a long-abandoned warm pavilion in the northeast corner of the back garden?"

"Niangniang...... Liu Yi and Xia Lan never thought that Lin Zhixuan would take her in, and they both called Lin Zhixuan in panic.

Lin Zhixuan said: "If you are outside, there is no way to find nature, but since people are desperate and come back, there is no gift not to receive." It's just that no one is allowed to reveal a trace of rumors to the outside world, so as not to cause panic in the mansion, and only said that he was arrested and locked up in the warm pavilion, and no one is allowed to approach, and no one is allowed to go to the back garden.

Instructed a few girls who had been dyed with smallpox to help Aru take care of her over there, and the little girl sent food every day. Dongmei, the medicine from the West Courtyard has been made, and it is sent to Concubine Wulan every day, she has just been infected not long ago, and she is still young, maybe she can be saved. If she discarded it, it would be a pity for her life. ”

When Liu Yi heard this, it was also worth responding, and said: "The mother is kind-hearted, and the slave obeys the order, so let's do it." ”

Watching Liu Yi go out, Lin Zhixuan couldn't sleep anymore, and said to Xia Lan: "Xia Lan, tomorrow you go to the side concubines and concubines to spread the word, there is a lot of smallpox outside, please be free in the morning, everyone should stay in their own rooms, don't go out and walk around easily." It's just the matter of Concubine Ulan, and you are not allowed to mention it to others again. ”
