The prince sent people into the palace to report to the saint, who thought that it would not be long before someone came to report that there had been a plague in the city, and three had died.

In an instant, everyone's face became solemn and tense.

Xiao Jingqi said with a solemn face: "Since there is already a plague in the city, then we won't be like it if we don't go out, at least I haven't had contact with Lao Qi and Minde in this courtyard, and now the people in the palace can't get out, so we have to go out to control the plague in the imperial city, brother Huang, what do you say?" ”

The prince sneered in his heart, knowing that the third child was eager to invite credit.

But he still pretended to be righteous on the surface, "Well, this plague is not simple, it must be controlled, and it must be investigated to find out how it came about." ”

"Yes."

"Old Seven, you first instigate the county lord of Minde and the county lord of Zhaoyang to return to the house."

Xiao Jingmin was about to say, but the county lord of Minde immediately said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, it is more appropriate for Minde to stay in the Prince's Mansion, if there is nothing in the mansion, but if something happens because I go back, it will outweigh the losses." ”

"I don't think it's better not to go back." It is rare for the county lord of Zhaoyang to think of going together with the county lord of Minde.

In fact, she was worried about Yun Beimo and Brother Jiuyuan inside.

"In that case, come here, settle the county lord of Minde and the county lord of Zhaoyang and go to live in a courtyard farther away, the third, the seventh, you quickly go outside to see the situation, if there is anything, let people come and report in time. In addition, let the imperial doctors who did not enter the palace quickly go to see those people who were sick, and also notify the pharmacies in Baozhentang to prepare for the palace. ”

"Brother Huang, don't worry." Xiao Jingqi bowed slightly, and left quickly with Xiao Jingmin.

At this time, a prescription was also sent from inside, and the prince immediately ordered someone to purchase it.

In a short period of time, the entire imperial capital was panicked because of the sudden plague, and even everyone in the palace was nervous.

-

Yunbei Mo was not idle, he ordered someone to find needles and threads and cloth strips, then took out two masks from the space, chose to sew one mask temporarily, and then gave it to Rong Jiuyuan.

"What?" He looked at the object in his hand, curious.

"If you can avoid contagion for the time being, you wear it, wear it like this." Yunbei Mo did a good demonstration, Rong Jiuyuan understood, and he had already put the mask on his face.

Immediately, she also made a few for everyone, although they were not as delicate as Rong Jiuyuan, but at least the masks were hidden inside.

Then, she began to interrogate the maids again, wanting to know exactly what the lotus master had touched to cause the plague.

She said: "According to the illness of Master Lian, it can be inferred that she should have been infected from the second half of the night to the morning, have you all eaten or used anything for Master Lotus during this period?" ”

You look at me, I look at you, you don't seem to know what to say.

Rong Jiuyuan, who was sitting in the courtyard, saw that everyone was so uncooperative, and said coldly: "If you don't cooperate in answering the questions, you won't be able to find out where you got the disease from when the time comes, then no one will want to go out." Or, you are just waiting to be executed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! ”

When I said this, everyone was afraid.

Bao'er took the lead in kneeling down and said, "Miss Yun Er, yesterday Master Lotus was already in good health, and a doctor came to treat her, and Master Lotus was indeed much better in the first half of the night, and they all slept well." In the second half of the night, the lotus master said that he was a little hungry, so we waited for the lotus master to eat something, and the lotus master fell asleep again, until the early morning the lotus master woke up again, saying that the quilt was uncomfortable, let us change it, when we changed the quilt a few times, we accidentally found a needle hidden in the quilt. ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Another girl also began to speak, "At that time, Master Lotus also scolded us. Later, we took a new quilt out of the cupboard, and the lotus master slept comfortably. Because the lotus master was unwell, His Royal Highness specially asked the lotus master to ask for peace, so the lotus master slept until three poles in the sun before waking up. ”

Bao'er continued: "There is no problem with breakfast, but when Master Lotus finishes breakfast and asks us to wait for us to change into clothes, Master Lotus says that his body is so itchy, and he keeps scratching his neck, and then we, we see Master Lotus's nose bleeding, and so are his ears. Soon Master Lotus said that it was unbearable, and he hit the pillar directly. ”

After listening, Yun Beimo got up and entered the house, she took out gloves from the space and put them in her hands, and began to check the quilt and the clothes in the cabinet of the lotus master.

After rummaging through the cabinets, she accidentally found a tattered dress in the cabinet where the quilt was hidden, and she frowned.

The Prince's Mansion, and the Prince's favorite woman, how could there be such a dress, it is obvious that this dress is the problem. She immediately chose to leave her clothes at the door and asked, "Is this garment from your master?" ”

Seeing this, Bao'er immediately disgusted: "Our lotus master likes to be clean the most, and every time he wears a dress, he wants the latest style, how can this kind of clothing be our lotus master." ”

"Then it should be the culprit who made your lotus master infected with leprosy, someone deliberately stole into the prince's mansion and put it in the lotus master's cabinet, and the needle was probably hidden by that person. If he was lucky, he was not infected, and if he was unlucky, he should be the second person to die in the prince's mansion. ”

Rong Jiuyuan's brows furrowed slightly, and he glanced at Yun Beimo, and he ordered: "Butler, burn this clothes, lest someone accidentally touch and get sick." ”

"Yes."

He also said: "Tell the people outside to inform His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in time, and say that there may be a second person in the palace, and if there is, order someone to send the body here quickly." ”

The minion answered, and quickly reported to the people outside.

These words also quickly reached the ears of the prince, and his face suddenly turned pale: "What! Someone did it on purpose! ”

"Yes, Rong Shizi said, if that person is lucky, he will not die and will not be found, if he is dead, then he will be the second person in the Prince's Mansion to die of illness, and when the time comes, the body will be sent to the courtyard of the lotus master."

The prince felt that these things had happened too strangely.

He was even more angry, who dared to do so rampant in his prince's mansion.

"Then ...... quickly"

Before the prince's words were finished, a servant hurriedly ran in: "Your Highness is not good, it is not good, there is a grandmother who died in the kitchen, and the death is exactly the same as that of the lotus master." ”

At that moment, the prince's face became even heavier.

It actually happened.

He calmed down and immediately ordered: "Find a few people, put things on your hands, be careful about touching the corpse, and then send the corpse to the Hanchun Courtyard." ”

The minions did not dare to disobey, even if they were resistant in their hearts.

Soon, Mama's body had been sent to Hanchun Courtyard, and when the housekeeper and others saw the corpse, they were too frightened to take a second look.

Yunbei Mo walked out quickly, until Rong Jiuyuan: "You just stand here well, don't approach casually." ”
