What is smallpox? It has always been a taboo for people to talk about it.

Therefore, as soon as the news of the Rose Courtyard spread, it was as if the sky had changed when the palace arrived. Some are surprised and inexplicable, some are frightened, and some are thinking deeply in an instant.

The biggest reaction is naturally none other than Zhu Li.

At that time, Zhu Li was discussing disaster relief with the minister. Liu En came in with a pale face and hurriedly whispered a few words to Zhu Li, and explained the situation in the Rose Courtyard. Zhu Liden even forgot what he was holding in his hand, and as soon as he exerted his hand, the fold presented by the minister was pinched so that he couldn't see the original appearance.

"What?" Zhu Li glared at Liu En in disbelief, and just asked. That look, it's clear that you won't believe it.

Liu En could only lower his voice and repeat again: "The little county lord has smallpox, and the imperial doctor has already diagnosed it. ”

Zhu Li obviously heard it, but he only felt that he had heard the Arabian Nights. Even the corners of his lips twitched, "What nonsense are you talking about?" How can you get smallpox in the palace—"

Smallpox really didn't run rampant in the palace. Although there are often cases of people from a village dying of smallpox outside the palace, there have really not been a few smallpox cases in the palace.

After all, what is the palace place? I have always had experience in guarding against these, so where could I easily get caught with them?

And even if it is dyed, the palace people are the majority, and the masters are pampered, and they don't touch those pickled people and things, where will they be infected? But now, it is said that the little insect has contracted smallpox.

How could Zhu Li believe it? I was still jumping around last night, and I was coquettish with him for a candy yesterday. Got smallpox today?

Looking at Zhu Li's incredulous appearance, Liu En didn't dare to say more, so he could only say, "The imperial doctor has already been diagnosed." Concubine Side, she has already ordered several places in the palace to be sealed. ”

I don't know if it was these words that worked, or if Zhu Li finally calmed down from that state of disbelief, or if he heard Yang Yunxi. In short, Zhu Li suddenly restrained his expression, pursed his lips and said sharply: "What about the side concubine?" ”

Liu En trembled slightly, and almost subconsciously knelt down: "Concubine She...... In the Rose Courtyard. Didn't come out. “

Zhu Li's fingers tightened a few more points, and the force was so great that even the joints were white. "What does that mean?"

Zhu Li's voice was as deep as a frozen stone in winter, it was simply cold and hard, and when it fell on people's hearts, it was an unstoppable chill. In fact, Zhu Li didn't have much emotion in his voice at this time, but the more this happened, the more scared Liu En became.

The concubine was sealed in the Rose Courtyard with herself. Together with the little county lord. Liu En didn't want to answer, but he didn't answer this, but who did he want to answer? So it can only be explained head-on.

Zhu Li slammed the thing in his hand over: "Bastard! How dare you! “

Zhu Li rarely loses his temper, especially now that there are many ministers. Such an anger made everyone confused. In the end, there was still a minister who was not afraid of death who stood up: "Your Highness is angry." Actually, according to the rules—"

Zhu Li glanced coldly at the past, and the man stopped talking.

"Disaster relief, just as I wanted." Zhu Li got angry, but he calmed down a little, and he also knew that in the current situation, he was not good at talking about Yang Yunxi. At that moment, he suppressed the anxiety in his heart again, just looked around lightly, and dropped such a sentence without refuting it.

The matter of disaster relief has never been discussed, in fact, to put it bluntly, there is not enough money. So even if Zhu Li said so. Naturally, there are still opponents.

However, as soon as the voice of opposition came out, Zhu Li lost his patience and said directly: "To put it bluntly, this is the case. The treasury is out of money, and the army is important. But what's more important? Without the people, where will the army come from? What do you think those sons and daughters think if they knew that their parents were starving, and that the food was pulled out of their mouths? What are they fighting for? “

When these words came out, everyone was silent for a long time.

Zhu Li's expression was as grim as a blade: "There are some things that I don't want to say. You are thinking about it at this time, but when you look back, you are still big fish and big meat. If you take some of it, I think, even if it is not enough for disaster relief. I can always help. I have put these words here, and I have set aside fifty thousand pieces of silver from my private treasury for the relief of the disaster. “

Zhu Lidu let out these words, and the ministers couldn't say anything for a while. In the end, they all fell silent with different faces.

Zhu Li didn't bother to say anything to these people, and he didn't speak again, but said, "You guys discuss it again, I'll take the first step." After the result of the discussion, call me again. ”

After Zhu Li said this, he didn't give others any more face, and left directly.

As soon as Zhu Li came out of the room, his face immediately sank, and then he glanced at Liu En, who was following behind him and didn't dare to say a word, and said in a deep voice: "What the hell is going on, tell me carefully." ”

Liu En said this again, but the more he said it, the quieter it became, and Zhu Li's face became more and more ugly the more he listened.

Zhu Li finally pursed his lips into a thin line: "You said, it was Ah Zi who took the initiative to ask for the palace to be sealed." ”

Liu En responded, and he didn't dare to breathe: "Yes." ”

Zhu Li sneered, and his face was just grim: "She is afraid that the little insect will be sent out of the palace." ”

Zhu Li was a little annoyed when she said: "She doesn't believe that I will protect their mother and daughter." ”

Liu Enke didn't dare to answer a word.

Zhu Li was annoyed for a while, and suddenly smiled bitterly: "But what's the use of saying this now?" After a pause, he calmed down again: "Now that the matter has come to this, let's go to the Queen Mother first." ”

Liu En guessed what Zhu Li meant, and was a little relieved at the moment. But I still didn't dare to say a word, so I was busy asking someone to prepare a sedan chair.

But before he could take two steps, Liu En was stopped by Zhu Li again.

Zhu Li asked, "Who is in charge of the diagnosis and treatment this time?" ”

Liu En said truthfully. Zhu Li breathed a sigh of relief: "Chu Qing is fine, his medical skills are good." "Chu Qing's qualifications are old, and his skills are not just good. Therefore, it can still reassure Zhu Li a little. If it was someone else, it would be strange if Zhu Li could rest assured at this time.

But in fact, even though Chu Qing was in charge of diagnosis and treatment, when he thought that it was smallpox, Zhu Li still only felt that his heart was tightly gripped. I can't breathe anymore.
