Chapter 51: Illness
Half an hour later, Lingxi and Yue'er came out of Wanru's dormitory, and Zimo stood in the corridor outside the dormitory waiting for them.
After seeing them come out, Zimo stepped forward to ask about Wanru's condition.
"Lingxi girl, how is Wanru's illness?" Zimo's eager words revealed his concern for his sister.
Lingxi saw that the maids guarding Miss Wanru's door had come over, and it was inconvenient to speak at this time.
"I prescribe a prescription, but the third lady doesn't like it, so I really can't help." After speaking, Lingxi secretly took out the paper from the bottom of the medicine box and put it on the hand holding the medicine box.
Lingxi stretched out her palm slightly, and the note was revealed, she nodded slightly to the second son, and gestured with her eyes, hoping that the second son could understand what she meant at this time.
Zimo will come over, he took the note and put it away secretly.
"I'll send you out." Zimo asked his subordinates to prepare a carriage and sent Yue'er and Lingxi back to the prince's mansion.
After they went back, Zimo went back to the room and opened the note, after he saw it, he was shocked at first, the crown princess and the Lingxi girl were too bold, but this is fine, if this method works, then Wanru will not have to enter the palace.
After Yue'er went back, she had already told His Royal Highness about this matter, and His Royal Highness didn't want to take care of this matter at first, after all, the selected woman was going to be a wife to her father in the future, if this matter was not handled well and exposed, then she really couldn't say clearly.
His Royal Highness also hesitated for a long time, and Lingxi saw the worry in His Highness's heart. So she took advantage of the absence of her mother to tell Her Royal Highness that Miss Wanru was preparing to commit suicide by taking poison by herself in order not to enter the palace, and Her Royal Highness also felt sorry after hearing it. In the end, I agreed to help Wanru with them.
That night, Zimo arrived at the Prince's Mansion.
So several of them sat together and discussed in the study how to prevent Wanru from entering the palace.
"Lingxi, are you really sure that the third lady won't cause a lot of harm to her body after taking that medicine, and you can't let the doctors outside see the clues?" His Highness asked seriously, because this was the key to the whole matter.
"Your Highness, don't worry, I know in my heart that as long as I take that medicine, the third lady will have a rash and high fever all over her body. It looks like it has smallpox. I know it's risky, but it's not that much in the way of the situation. "Lingxi is really bold this time.
If she does this, if something really goes wrong, then not only will Wanru die, but even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be implicated.
"So decide! I'm sure Miss Lingxi will cure Wanru! Zimo agreed to this plan so quickly.
After all, it is indeed risky to take medicine and pretend to be sick, but I don't know why, he feels that the person in front of him is definitely worthy of his trust. Zimo looked at Lingxi with a firm and trusting look, which showed his absolute trust in her.
His Highness pondered for a while, and finally said, "Then it's decided!" ”
Next, a few of them discussed in the study, how to cooperate in the next few days, this matter must not allow any mistakes, because this is about the safety of everyone in the Xiangguo Mansion and the Prince's Mansion, once things go wrong, then they will all pay the price for this matter.
That night, Lingxi took a packet of white medicine powder to Zimo, and instructed him to take it in three times the next day, and after three or four days, Wanru would have symptoms, and once the symptoms appeared, Wanru must not be allowed to take sweating medicine, otherwise Wanru's disease would be difficult to cure.
Zimo remembered the precautions for this medicinal powder, and after returning to Xiangguo's mansion, he quietly took this package of medicinal powder to Wanru, and told her that she had to cooperate with them in the next few days. As long as you pass the threshold of being seriously ill and the matter of entering the palace is invalidated, it will be regarded as a successful deception of the king.
After Wanru got this packet of powder, she took it according to the method they said, and sure enough, three days later, she became ill, with high fever, body aches, and vomiting at the onset of the disease, and after about three days, small dark red spots grew on Wanru's body, which first appeared on her face and limbs, and then spread to her whole body.
Lord Xiangguo is even more for Wanru, and the palace asks the king to let the imperial doctor in the palace order down to see Wanru.
But when the Imperial Physician Ling arrived at Xiangguo Mansion and saw Miss Wanru's symptoms, he himself was half frightened to death, because the result of the pulse diagnosis was: Miss Wanru had "smallpox", and the disease would be excessive, so the Imperial Doctor Ling was so frightened that he rushed back to the palace overnight, and he didn't dare to prescribe medicine for the third lady.
The imperial physician ordered him to return to the palace, and the king naturally knew about it, but the next day, the king issued a holy decree again, and after the North Palace Xiangguo saw the paper holy order, he almost fainted, and Wanru never had the opportunity to enter the palace in the future, and the king would not let a sick person be his wife.
After the sadness, everyone in Xiangguo Mansion was worried, because Miss Wanru's illness would pass people, and if the third lady was allowed to live in Xiangguo Mansion, I am afraid that everyone in this mansion would get sick, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
So Lord Xiangguo could only bear to move Wanru outside the house, after all, what he valued was always the position of Xiangguo, and nothing could be more important than Xiangguo.
Things are going well, and in this power-supreme government, nothing is eternal, only the supreme power is the most attractive.
