Chuxiu Palace.

In the palace, the imperial concubine took off her coat and slept peacefully on the bed, and the soothing incense beside the bed gave birth to wisps of fragrance.

Outside the hall, a eunuch knelt in front of Lan Gu and reported the situation to her.

"What do you say Xiao Yuanzi is dead? Didn't you let the Imperial Doctor see it? Lan Gu was afraid that the imperial concubine would sleep peacefully, so she said in a low voice.

"The doctor just started to see it and prescribed medicine, but Xiao Yuanzi's high fever has not subsided, the medicine does not work, and there are more and more people with fever in the palace.

Gonggong An, the chief manager of the respectful room, came to report early in the morning that Xiao Yuanzi was the chief eunuch in the palace of the imperial concubine Niangniang, and he was also one of the first people to find a fever, so the chief manager of the respectful room paid special attention, but he didn't expect that there was a doctor to take care of him, and the person was still gone.

"I know, there is Lao An's father-in-law who arranged for someone to bury the person properly, and after this time, you can find someone to fill the vacancy." Lan Gu didn't have much emotional fluctuations, she was specially dispatched by the saint to serve after her mother became a concubine, and she was not very close to Xiaoyuanzi. On the contrary, because of the high grade, he pressed Xiao Yuanzi, and Xiao Yuanzi secretly didn't know how unconvinced.

His little distant son has been waiting since his mother was a nobleman when he entered the palace, and he felt that he and his mother had some feelings of sharing hardships and hardships from his heart, superior to others, too arrogant, not knowing how to converge, and also oily and slippery, secretly not a safe one.

If it weren't for the fact that Niangniang took a little care of him when she first entered the palace, she would have liked him and rewarded him for being the chief eunuch, she would have wanted to persuade Niangniang to change people. Those things were originally what he should do as a eunuch by his mother's side, what are you proud of!

Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, everyone was gone.

"Okay, I still have a lot of headaches to deal with, so I'll go back first." Father-in-law An responded to the matter of filling the vacancy, and remembered the messy next room, so he had a headache.

"Is it bad?" Lan Gu frowned and asked worriedly.

Gonggong An sighed and shook his head, "Auntie just guard the palace gate, it is best to ask the emperor to send two guards to guard it more safely." ”

Lan Gu's expression tightened, "Is it so serious?" ”

"Do you know how many eunuchs have had a fever so far?" An Gonggong asked mysteriously.

"How much?"

"More than six hundred!"

"The east hall is full of feverish people!"

Gonggong An looked left and right, approached and whispered: "Almost thirty percent of the eunuchs in the whole palace have fallen ill, and they are afraid that it will spread out again, and now it doesn't matter whether the lower room is the east hall or the west hall, the entire eunuch lower room has just been closed by the emperor's decree."

Even those who don't have a fever, but are in the same room as the eunuch with a fever, are also forbidden to travel, after all, they all live together, who knows if they are sick, and now they are checking which rooms are completely free of fever, and these people may be released.

Alas, even I don't dare to go back now, I'm afraid that I won't be able to get out if I go in, and the other palace directors who got the news in advance haven't gone back, so I'm staying in the office to make a living. At present, in addition to the palace maids, each palace can still be dispatched to move around, I am afraid that I will not be able to find a little eunuch to work. ”

"That'...... The people in there ......" Lan Gu was surprised.

"The emperor will send someone to treat him." Gonggong An firmly believed, but his slightly trembling hands revealed that his heart was full of uncertainty.

……

The little master, who is usually used to eunuchs serving by his side, also feels the inconvenience now.

I can't find anyone to clean it, I can't find anyone to carry charcoal fires, I can't find anyone to run errands, I can't find ...... Accustomed to the usual, ubiquitous, insignificant eunuchs became important with the closing of the door of the lower room.
