If Yuan Rong's sudden illness did not cause too many waves, .cOM at that time the show girls had already completed the primary election, a total of 120 women lived in Chaohua Hall, and since they had entered the palace, how could they avoid the turmoil in the inner palace, and there were also chaos among the show girls under the shaking of the back position. Lin Yuan and Zhao Zhaoyi were exhausted by this.

On the third day after Wei Xiunu's death, Chaohuatang began to be haunted. On the fourth day, a show girl surnamed Su hit a ghost in the middle of the night, fell into the cold lotus pond in terror, and drowned alive.

Wang Xiunu, who was in the same room with Su Xiunu, was found in the room with the jewelry that Wei Xiunu had wore. Wei was born from a noble background, and the accessories he carried were also of high value, and Wang Xiunu was suspected of robbery and murder, and was detained with Tao in the Criminal Justice Division to await review. However, Tao, who had survived for several days in the Shen Penal Division, was still alive, and Wang committed suicide on the first day of his entry because of fear and fear.

Lin Yuan knew that the harem was in chaos. At that time, Concubine Jing fell ill sadly because of the death of her sister, and she couldn't be a director at all, and all the heavy responsibilities fell on Lin Yuan and Zhao Zhaoyi.

Zhao Zhaoyi made a decision immediately, and ordered Lin Yuan to sit in the harem to control the concubines, and to control the beautiful girls of Chaohuatang with full authority.

Lin Yuan and Zhao Zhaoyi were both exhausted by this turmoil. Fortunately, a few days later, the good news came out from Changle Palace, saying that Emperor Yuanrong had a fever.

Since all the imperial doctors were stationed in Changle Palace, and the emperor even stopped the early court in order to thoroughly investigate the matter, Yuan Rong's condition gradually stopped deteriorating.

After this letter spread, Lin Yuan and Zhao Zhaoyi both breathed a sigh of relief. They thought that as long as Yuan Rong lived, the turmoil would stop. No matter what happens to the queen, at least there will be no more chaos in this palace, and the two of them can be more relaxed.

However, the euphoria did not last long. On the first day of March, Huagui people were infected with the epidemic due to asthma worsening.

Paper can't hold the fire. Even with the emperor's suppression, the epidemic eventually spread all over the world.

Extreme fear spread through the deep palace.

As soon as Lin Yuanfu got the news, he immediately dispatched medical officers from Changle Palace to treat Huaguiren. She understands what an epidemic is – shelving the modern era is something on the level of SARS. In ancient times, conditions were limited, and the fatality rate would be frighteningly high.

As the person in power, she can only do her best to prevent this catastrophe. When the three imperial doctors were ordered to go to the Lintoe Palace, Lin Yuan sat quietly and pondered.

She remembered that Hua Wanying was a person with a very good physique. When Lin Yuan was friendly with her, she heard her talk about it, she often suffered from asthma when she was young, but as long as she boiled water with mint and drank it for a few days, she could carry it.

In the past, it was able to carry it, but why did it deteriorate into an epidemic now?

Could it be that being a concubine makes you delicate?

Lin Yuan gradually sensed that something was wrong. She summoned back the imperial physicians who had been sent to heal the nobles after a quarter of an hour, and then ordered them to stay by the side of the six princes and not leave for a moment.

Now all the imperial doctors have been summoned to Changle Palace. Now although Yuan Rong is showing signs of improvement, and the emperor has left Changle Palace, all the imperial doctors dare not relax - Yuan Rong is too weak, and after the fever subsides, he is sometimes awake and sometimes unconscious. Liang Yuan judged that the baby who was worried about the high fever was likely to be stupid, and Yuan Rong's physique, under repeated illness, would step into the ghost gate again.

Moreover, not only for Yuanrong, but more importantly, for everyone.

The imperial doctors are now looking through ancient books, looking for a cure for the epidemic, and it is difficult to take care of Yuanrong, and they can't spare more manpower and time to take care of the rest of the people. The plague has broken out many times throughout the ages, but each time it cannot be used in the same way, because of this, the ancients regarded the plague as the devil.

As a modern person, Lin Yuan knows the principle here - the mutation rate of the virus is always faster than the development of medical technology.

The Empress Dowager has issued a death order, and all imperial doctors must stay in Changle Palace. If there was no reason for the noble people to be sick, it would be impossible for Lin Yuan to invite the three medical officers including Imperial Doctor Wu and Imperial Doctor Zhang.

If the noble people are not treated, the epidemic is very likely to spread all over the palace. The Queen Mother understood this truth, so she agreed to Lin Yuan.

However, now, Lin Yuan disobeyed the Empress Dowager's holy decree and ignored the sick nobles, leaving the three imperial doctors with the six princes.

The moment she ordered the recall of the imperial doctor, she had already made a decision in her heart.

Perhaps, this will be the last big gamble of life.

***

Lin Yuan's order did not attract the attention of others in time. The Queen Mother and the Emperor were exhausted by the epidemic, and they had no mental care at all.

In a short period of time, she didn't find out that Lin Yuan had gone against her will.

Even if she finds out, Lin Yuan is not afraid, the Queen Mother loves Qiqi so much, she should forgive her.

After Lin Yuan settled Qiqi, he changed into palace clothes and detoured from Qingyi Garden to Chonghua Palace on the west side of Changle Palace. Chonghua Palace is a Buddhist hall built for the widows of the first emperors of the past dynasties, the Queen Mother often prays here, it is not far from the Changle Palace, it is not far to the Queen Mother who will feel tired every day, and it is not close to the point that once an accident occurs, it will be noticed by the Changle Palace.

Empress Shangguan was placed under house arrest here.

Perfect place. In the smoky sandalwood, the guilty are tortured by their conscience and finally prostrate at the feet of the Buddha to repent.

Obviously, Empress Shangguan either has a clear conscience or is stubborn. She refused to admit her guilt for a long time, and she was not even willing to make a big fuss to cry out for injustice, but just silently and peacefully accepted the Queen Mother's disposal.

The main hall of Chonghua Palace is very large, because of the worship of a big Buddha inside, its height exceeds that of Jinluan Palace. All the houses in the ancestral palace cannot be taller than the Jinluan Palace, but the Buddha Hall is not a mortal thing, but this rule can be ignored.

The palace gate is heavily guarded around it. Lin Yuan held the talisman in her hand, and the road was unimpeded, and people thought that she was the palace maid who was ordered by the Queen Mother to come over on an errand - since the queen was grounded, all the seals were confiscated by Changle Palace.

Lin Yuan was holding the token she was in charge of the six palaces on weekdays.

She knew she had little time, so she walked fast. She made a beeline for the apse, panting and pushing open a side door in the northwest corner. The moment the door opened, the endless darkness swallowed her gaze, and all the doors and windows here were hung with heavy dark curtains, like an abyss of dead silence.

"Dead? Rumbling in the dark? Lin Yuan didn't feel scared, she was just very anxious.

Vaguely seeing the hazy shadow of a woman, she turned around, Lin Yuan still couldn't see her face shrouded in haze clearly, but there was a little blue light that shone brightly, very dazzling - Lin Yuan was puzzled at first, and then remembered that this was the Suihou bead that Shangguan Li often wore around her neck.

It is a relic of the pre-Qin period, the most precious treasure in the world. Sure enough, even though the queen is imprisoned, she is still the mistress of this world.

"It seems that the queen is still alive and well." Lin Yuan stepped in, except for the defenders outside the door, there were no palace people serving Shangguan Li. Lin Yuan hooked her lips and smiled, and approached the woman in the empty dormitory step by step.

"Zhaoyuan, it's you." Shangguan Li suddenly laughed, and his voice was as clear and tactful as a warbler's cry.

"Who do you think it will be? Will it be the emperor who has come to pardon you? Lin Yuan sneered.

Shangguan Li sighed slightly, picked up a ruby glazed palace lamp on the side of the desk, and lit it on his side. When a woman's face is shrouded in the dim palace lamp, especially the red like the glow, it reflects Shangguan Li's world-class face...... Lin Yuan's breathing tightened.

Hehe, if it's really the emperor who came today...... No matter how calm a man is, he can't help but overturn all principles and principles for her.

"I never dream." Shangguan Li said: "I don't think that the emperor will come here to see me before he finds out what is going on." Hmm, I thought the person who came was Concubine Jing. ”

Lin Yuan's fingers slowly clenched. Concubine Jing, what did Concubine Jing do......

She knew that Yuan Rong's sudden illness and the queen's grounding were not simple. When she came to Chonghua Palace, she didn't have any evidence in her hand to prepare, just guessed - even if Shangguan Li really assassinated Yuan Rong, if Yuan Rong didn't lose his life, the emperor shouldn't have severely punished Shangguan Li. And something else must have happened in this, which caused Shangguan Litang Hall Zhonggong to be detained in the Buddha Hall to be punished.

And whether Yuan Rong's illness was done by the queen or not, it is difficult to say - on the surface, Shangguan Li is extremely smart and will not take risks for a princess who is not a threat. However, Shangguan Li has always acted strangely, if ......

If it is a usurpation and rebellion, it is reasonable to start with the slaughter of the imperial heir.

But why did Shangguan Li mention Concubine Jing?

What did she find out?

Lin Yuan tried her best to make a calm appearance. If Shangguan Li can see that she doesn't know the whole thing and has no bottom in her heart, then it's over.

"Niangniang, the concubine is on the orders of the Queen Mother." Lin Yuan's voice was calm.

Shangguan Li didn't speak.

Lin Yuan took out a paper bag from his sleeve and put it on the table: "The Queen Mother said that the queen is too miserable in Chonghua Palace - this is Jialan rouge from Siam." ”

She left her things behind and turned to leave.

***

Lin Yuan quickly returned to Yuzhao Palace, and no one found out that she had ever left.

Lin Yuan didn't find out the reason for Shangguan Li's grounding, but she knew that it must be serious.

In fact, for the emperor, it was already a dangerous move to order Shangguan Yue's daughter to be imprisoned, Shangguan Yue knew that the queen was being mistreated, and he would definitely be worried about the instability of the throne, and then worried that the emperor was ready to suppress the Shangguan family. A general on the battlefield has such an idea, even if he does not rebel because of this, he will not give the enemy an opportunity to fight as hard as he can.

The consequences of imprisoning the queen are the same as those of the deposed queen. The emperor did this only to show that he was ready to accept such serious consequences.

Lin Yuan still did not send an imperial doctor to treat Huaguiren. She ordered Hua Wanying to be tied up in a carriage and sent to the Zongren Mansion outside the palace, and sprinkled soju and vinegar in Hua's dormitory, and all those who had come into contact with Hua's in recent days were sent out of the palace, and a little eunuch who had already had symptoms of infection was executed by her and his body was burned.
