Chapter Eighty-Seven: Madness
Hearing that Jun Feng was in the study of the Eagle Falcon King, and hearing Tong'er say that something seemed to have happened, Jun He always felt a little bad in his heart.
When I came to the study, I found that Jun Wu, Jun Feng, Xue Ying, Tang Minfeng and his son, and many of the Eagle Falcon King's henchmen were here.
Jun He quietly moved to Jun Feng's side and asked him in a low voice what had happened.
"This time the smallpox came very strangely, it can be determined that it was found in the capital, not somewhere else, and the emperor wants the prince to find out what is going on. ”
"The emperor suspects that it has something to do with heavenly killing?"
"The last time there was a smallpox pandemic was more than 100 years ago, and there was no reason for it to break out suddenly. ”
"Any clues?"
"I don't know if it's a coincidence or not, most of the people infected with smallpox this time are from people who are above the solid level. ”
Jun He had an inexplicable feeling in her heart, as if there was some clue shaking in her mind, but in an instant, she really couldn't detect it again.
"How many people in the capital have been infected?" she asked, knowing that smallpox was now severe, but she did not know how serious it was.
Jun Feng was about to answer, but the housekeeper Gao Yuan came in in a hurry, and Jun He saw the heaviness on his face for the first time, and he had some bad premonitions in his heart.
Gao Yuan's gaze stayed on Xue Ying for a moment, and then said to the prince: "Master, the imperial doctor just came, and the Lingxi girl has a lot of acne on her face. ”
Everyone present was shocked, and Snow Shadow was the first to rush out.
Jun He followed him, and Jun Wu walked side by side with her, which made her really startled.
"She's a spirit. She said, "You can't hurt her." ”
Jun Wu was stunned for a moment, and soon returned to his former unruly coldness: "I won't hurt her, she is our friend." ”
――――――
Seeing Xue Ying stepping into the room, Lingxi seemed to be stimulated by something, and hurriedly grabbed the brocade quilt and covered his face.
"Don't go too far, stay away from me!" she shouted.
"Don't be afraid, it's me. Snow Shadow sat down next to her, reaching out to rip off her quilt, "It's not good to cover your face." ”
"Stay away from me, it's contagious. Lingxi said aggrievedly, but without half a minute of hesitation.
"It doesn't matter, we can still live together if it's infected. ”
"I'm going to die. ”
"No, no. Snow Shadow hurriedly comforted.
"You let them all go out, and you go out, and I don't want you to see my face. ”
Xue Ying was about to answer, but Jun He, who had been waiting on the side, pointed to a purple coat hanging on the hanger: "Sister Lingxi, is this your newly made clothes?"
Lingxi revealed one eye from the brocade quilt and quickly glanced at the coat: "Yes, is it infecting me?"
"The smallpox patient admitted by Zhiyan's hospital was the first group of people to have smallpox, when the child with smallpox had just passed his third birthday, because of the 'three-year-old to see eighty' in their village at the age of three is also a big birthday, the family made him new clothes, Su Xiuting is the largest cloth shop in the capital, it is very likely that the cloth was also bought from there. In the recent epidemic of smallpox, most of the patients are wives and daughters of well-off families, so shouldn't men be more likely to be infected when they show their heads outside? This is a revenge for us to change the cloth workshop that Su Xiuting purchased. Jun He finished in one breath.
Everyone was silent, although they had long been prepared to deal with the counterattack of the godsend, but no one could have imagined that the other party would do such a crazy thing.
"So, the person secretly put the smallpox patient's pox scab or something like that in the new cloth?" Jun Wu frowned, feeling shuddering, "It's too vicious, and it doesn't matter if the spirit is hit?"
"They are meant to be unscrupulous people for the sake of the end. Lingxi sighed.
After another reassurance, everyone but Yukikage left, and although the cause of the smallpox spread was identified, there was no sense of relief.
Back in the study, several people reported the matter to the prince and the ministers.
"The affairs of the new cloth shop have always been handled by the Snow Shadow Prince, and now the emperor is investigating the cause of the smallpox epidemic, isn't it the Snow Shadow Prince's fault?" one of the ministers muttered.
Jun Wu glared at the man fiercely: "How can this be blamed on Snow Shadow, he was also careless." ”
"But the emperor will definitely not think so, in fact, it is also the Snow Shadow Prince's unfavorable supervision. ”
"Don't make any noise. The Eagle Falcon King opened his mouth and interrupted the crowd that was about to quarrel, "I will go and tell the emperor about this matter, and no one else is allowed to say more." ”
"Then Lord Wang, what should I do next?"
"Before the emperor sends someone else to start the investigation, I will go to the palace and take the blame. ”
――――――
After coming out of the study, Jun He went to visit Lingxi again, because smallpox was contagious, the imperial doctor had sealed the room, and no one was allowed to enter, so she could only cover her mouth and nose with a handkerchief and talk to Xue Ying.
"So, I actually hurt Lingxi?" said Yukikage frowning, "She saved my life that day, but in the end she died because of me?"
"It's done by God, and besides, Lingxi will be fine. ”
Snow Shadow shook her head: "It's not just Lingxi, but all the people who died and lost their loved ones because of smallpox, it's my fault. How am I going to explain to the prince?"
"The prince won't blame you for this. Jun He said that in the prince's heart, Snow Shadow is a hundred times more important than himself, how could he let him have an accident.
Xue Ying shook his head again, probably feeling that there was no need for this topic to continue, so he changed the subject: "What about Hong Zhiyan, since he is Langzhong, he will always come into contact with many more patients than you and me. ”
Jun He smiled bitterly, this is also what she has been worried about. The two encouraged and comforted each other, and Jun He took his leave.
However, after leaving the Snow Shadow, she was still a little relieved.
If you really want to find someone to be responsible for this matter, it is definitely Snow Shadow, although the Eagle Falcon King will take the responsibility in order to protect this henchman, but the emperor may not agree.
Emperor Shunhui is likely to take this opportunity to destroy one of the cronies around the Eagle Falcon King, just look at the last time he treated the Tang family.
Thinking of this, Jun He felt a little chilled, how could the emperor ask the Eagle Falcon King to eradicate the Heavenly Slaughter on the one hand, and at the same time pull out his henchmen one by one, if the Heavenly Killing is eliminated in the future, the prince still doesn't know what the ending will be.
There is also Snow Shadow, who was originally a chic and free knight, free and easy, he came to the capital to participate in the affairs of the imperial court completely to repay the Eagle Falcon King, but in the end he was killed by the emperor for fear of threatening his position, how innocent and ironic.
She would never allow such a thing to happen.
