Huang Gonggong's words fell, and there was silence in the hall, and then the pot exploded.

When the emperor first ascended the throne, there was smallpox in the capital, and that time, most of the people in the capital were infected, and many people died.

The emperor stood up and strode out, and Huang Gonggong hurriedly followed.

Zhu Zhihong and Liubu Shangshu glanced at each other, and several people also followed quickly, and the rest of the officials stayed in the hall, and people were panicked.

The emperor walked extremely fast, and Huang Gonggong trotted to keep up.

Seeing that he was going in the direction where the four princes were, he anxiously dissuaded, "Your Majesty, you can't go." ”

The emperor pushed him away, and his steps were faster.

Gonggong Huang was pushed to a stumbling side, and after standing firmly, he trotted to catch up, kneeling in front of the emperor, "Your Majesty, the old slave begs you, you can't go." ”

"Get out of here!"

The emperor kicked him.

Gonggong Huang quickly got up and blocked the emperor again, "Your Majesty, smallpox will kill people, you can't go!" ”

"Get out of here!"

Huang Gonggong said that he would not get out of the way.

Zhu Zhihong and the six Shangshu also knelt down in front of the emperor one after another, and said in unison, "Please treasure the dragon body." ”

The emperor's eyes were red, "That's my only son, I can't watch him have something, you all get out of the way!" ”

"Your Majesty, you are the foundation of Daqing Country, you can't have anything."

"Yes, Your Majesty, the four princes have been infected, and the most important thing now is to find out the source of smallpox and cut off the source. Once it spreads to other palaces, the consequences are unimaginable. ”

"Your Majesty, please calm down."

"The Emperor's ......"

"The Emperor's ......"

"Shut up for me, I don't want to hear it, you all get out of the way, get out of the way!"

The emperor was hoarse and kicked away Huang Gonggong again.

Gonggong Huang quickly got up and stood in front of him.

Sun Qi led a pair of Praetorian Guards over quickly, and when he heard the news that the fourth prince had smallpox, his mind was still blank.

"Sun Qi, get them all out of the way."

Sun Qi also knelt down, "Your Majesty, the fourth prince must not want you to go over, please calm down." ”

The emperor closed his eyes.

"Order all the imperial doctors to rush to Feng'er Palace, be sure to save Feng'er's life, if you can't save it, I cut off their heads."

"Sun Qi, you lead people to fence off the residence of the four princes, and no one is allowed to enter or leave, and those who violate the order will be killed!"

"Huang De, you take someone to investigate, and if you find someone with a fever, immediately take the person to the cold palace for isolation."

……

In the palace of the Four Emperors, two imperial doctors wrote prescriptions in panic.

Only the two of them were on duty today, and some palace people ran to say that the fourth prince had a fever, and the two came with medicine boxes on their backs. At the first sight of the four princes, they felt bad, and after careful diagnosis, it was confirmed that it was smallpox, and both of them felt that the sky had fallen.

Immediately asked people to close the palace gate, and sent someone to report it.

The palace people are also panicked.

"I, I've heard my dad say that smallpox is contagious. I—Will we be buried alive? ”

A thirteen or fourteen-year-old little eunuch asked in a trembling voice.

He had just entered the palace, and he hadn't earned much money for his family.

The rest of the palace people also trembled in their hearts, they didn't get smallpox, but they had all heard that smallpox was very contagious, they might have been infected, and the four princes had a doctor to heal, so they could only be buried alive.

"Don't, don't talk nonsense."

An older palace man chattered his teeth, "I, if we are buried alive, who, who serves the four princes." ”

Hearing him say this, the palace people felt a little relieved.

Suddenly, a palace man remembered something, and his face changed greatly, "Brother Sixi had a fever two days ago, he, will he ......?"

The palace people who had just settled down also changed their faces.

Sixi is the person who serves the four princes, and he said that he was not feeling well after the palace banquet. These days, I haven't been serving in front of His Royal Highness, and Qianshan Temple hasn't followed, and I even started a fever two days ago, and it didn't work after taking medicine, and they didn't care, after all, palace people like them can't take any good medicine, and if there is a wind chill and fever, it will take many days to get better.

The palace man who had just spoken turned around and ran into the house.

If Sixi is really smallpox, it is what he passed on to His Highness.

"Brother Sixi has had a fever for several days, is it also smallpox?"

Imperial Doctor Liu stood up, "Where is he?" ”

"In his own room."

Imperial Doctor Liu took protective measures and followed the palace people over.

Because he is the right-hand man next to the four princes, Sixi lives in a room by himself, next door to the house where the palace people live, the house is not big, clean and tidy.

At this moment, Sixi was lying on the bed, his face was red, he had fallen into a coma, and there were a lot of acne on his face.

Without stepping forward, Imperial Doctor Liu knew that it was smallpox, and hurriedly retreated, "Tell the others that no one is allowed to approach this room." ”

……

Outside the palace gate, Sun Qi led the Imperial Forest Army to surround the palace of the four princes.

A sedan chair came over, but before it got close, it was stopped by Sun Qi, "The emperor has ordered that no one can approach here." ”

The sedan chair stopped, the housekeeper's aunt lifted the sedan curtain, and Concubine Xiao Xian got down from the sedan chair, "Commander Sun, I want to go in to accompany my son and open the door." ”

"Mother's ......"

Sun Qi took two steps back and bowed slightly, "Please don't embarrass your subordinates." ”

Concubine Xiao Xian took a step forward and said in a tough tone, "Open the door." ”

Sun Qi took another step back, and Concubine Xiao Xian stepped forward again.

There is really no way to retreat, Sun Qi stiffened, "Niangniang, my subordinates are also acting on orders, and I ask Niangniang to be considerate." ”

"What if Hongu doesn't listen?"

"If the mother insists on going in, her subordinates can only kill themselves."

"You ......"

Sun Qi's waist bent a little more, "Please also forgive me." ”

Concubine Xiao Xian turned around and got into the sedan chair.

Watching the sedan chair go away, Sun Qi breathed a sigh of relief, this incident happened too suddenly, he didn't have time to spread the news, the fourth prince had already been sealed inside, and he couldn't let Concubine Xiao Xian go in again.

But......

Looking at the direction in which the sedan chair went, Sun Qi had a bad premonition.

The sedan chair did not return to Kunli Palace, but went to the Yangxin Palace, where the emperor was.

The sedan chair stopped, Concubine Xiao Xian came down, did not enter the hall, and knelt down in front of the palace, "The concubine implores the emperor to let the concubine go to accompany Feng'er." ”

There was a stabbing sound in the Heart Cultivation Palace, it was the sound of the chair being driven, and then the footsteps sounded, and then the palace door was opened, and the emperor strode out of it and walked in front of Concubine Xiao Xian, wanting to help her up.

Concubine Xiao Xian knelt and didn't move, "Please also ask the emperor for permission." ”

"Concubine Xian, you get up first."

"If the emperor doesn't agree, the concubines won't get up."

If a concubine dared to threaten him like this in the past, the emperor would definitely leave with his sleeves up, but now it is different, Concubine Xian is to accompany Feng'er, the emperor softened his tone, "You also know that smallpox is very contagious, in case it ......"
