Fengxuan Palace, when the concubines asked for peace early, Ah Jin, the palace maid beside Lin Chan, came to take leave for her.

"Concubine Yan is sick?"

The queen frowned.

"Since you're sick, can you ask the doctor to see it?"

"Back to the queen's mother, when the slave maid came out, someone else went to ask the doctor, I don't know the situation, the concubine was a high fever last night, originally Yining Palace also had a standing pill, the slaves and maids waited to eat, and the fever subsided, and it was inconvenient in the middle of the night, so I didn't alarm everywhere, and I went to ask the doctor, but I got up early this morning and suddenly burned again, so I asked the doctor to take a look."

Ah Jin replied in a proper manner.

And as she spoke, Fang Yu was silently looking at her.

Seeing that Ah Jin's face was haggard and worried, it was indeed like staying up all night, and he felt a little strange for a while.

Is it really sick at this time?

"Then during this time, let Concubine Yan not have to come to ask for peace, and when the imperial doctor has seen it, remember to send someone to talk to the palace." The queen said in a deep voice.

Ah Jin responded and withdrew.

Qiu Baolin sat in his place and couldn't help frowning.

She went to bed last night, but she didn't stay in Yining Palace, but she didn't expect Concubine Yan to be sick, and when she went back later, she had to take a look.

But she thinks so now, but as soon as she returns to Yining Palace, she can't avoid it.

After the doctor showed Lin Chan, he said that Lin Chan had smallpox.

For a while, the people of the entire harem were eager to kick Yining Palace out of the palace.

This smallpox is a deadly disease.

There is no one more worried than the queen.

Not to mention that the fifth prince born to the queen herself was only more than a year old, and when she was still weak, the sixth princess that Pei Yao ordered her to take care of was only a few months old.

The two children are not exposed to any risk.

Similarly, Fang Yu is also very worried about the child.

The second princess is better, and the child who has had smallpox will not get it a second time, but the fourth prince is different, and it is dangerous.

And Song Concubine, as a person who also suffered from smallpox back then, took care of the three princes tightly, for fear of being contaminated.

The queen thought about it for a while, and proposed to Pei Yao that she wanted to block Yining Palace and move Qiu Baolin, who was not sick, to live elsewhere temporarily, in order to reduce mutual infection, the harem concubines must reduce their movement among themselves, and they don't have to come to Fengxuan Palace to ask for peace.

Because most of the children in the palace are young, for the sake of the emperor's heir, Pei Yao naturally agreed.

But in addition to agreeing, it is also a little strange that this is good, why did Lin Chan get smallpox?

But the answer came quickly.

In the afternoon of the same day, the little palace maid in Yining Palace, who was responsible for sorting Lin Chan's clothes, was found hanging herself in her residence.

After examining the corpse, the imperial physician found that the little palace maid also had smallpox and had begun to develop herpes, indicating that she had been ill for a longer time.

Therefore, it is speculated that this little palace maid contracted the disease, infected Lin Chan, and committed suicide in fear of sin.

"It's smallpox again, and it's a never-ending disease." Yanwei boiled water with mugwort leaves and sprinkled it all over the Yuzhang Palace to eliminate the epidemic.

Qingrong also frowned, "But isn't it, this disease is very difficult, Concubine Yan don't let this disease kill her, that's too cheap for her." ”

"Yes, I died of illness at this moment, but fortunately I was born out of the palace and can be buried in the concubine's mausoleum." Yan Wei said.

Originally, Fang Yu was drinking tea, thinking about something, but after hearing Yanwei's words, he suddenly thought of something in his heart, and suddenly raised his head.

"This palace remembers that not long ago, you found out that Concubine Yan intended to buy off the guards and palace people on the way out of the palace, but is there such a thing?"

"yes." Yan nodded slightly, "Niangniang thinks something is wrong?" ”

Fang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, "If you don't say that you won't die, this palace can't remember, you said that she has smallpox at the moment, will she want to die?" ”

Hearing this, Qingrong and Yan glanced at each other slightly, and suddenly became alert.

"If you want to verify the authenticity, you need to check whether Concubine Yan really has smallpox." ”

"You don't have to look for her, go find the body of the little palace maid who hanged herself in fear of sin!" Fang Yu immediately commanded.

Yan Wei also immediately followed, "Smallpox is contagious, if you have this kind of disease, you must find a place to burn people and things that have been used, this news has just come over, it shouldn't have been dealt with yet, slave and maid will go!" ”

After that, it is also to take immediate action.

"If you really pretend to be sick and want to die, then you must be one step away from success, and you will start to find a way back for yourself at this moment." Fang Yu thought quickly, "Qingrong, staring at Yining Palace, and Qiu Baolin, now it is impossible for Concubine Yan to come out to meet people, the only one who has something to do with her and can still see the emperor is Qiu Baolin!" ”

"Yes, the slave will go and command!" Qingrong nodded immediately.

And at this moment, it's still a little late.

Because when Qiu Baolin returned to Yining Palace after asking for peace early, Liuli beside Lin Chan had already given Qiu Baolin the last Bone Pill.

So no matter how Fang Yu strengthens his stalking, there will be no more contact between Lin Chan and Qiu Baolin.

But sending Yanwei to find the little palace maid who was sick and infected her master and committed suicide in fear of sin, this matter was done in the right direction.

Because this errand to deal with the smallpox dead was too unlucky, no one wanted to take this job, and it dragged on for a long time, and when Yanwei came over, the two little eunuchs wrapped people in straw mats and prepared to transport them out of the palace to burn them through the small door.

Naturally, it won't be burned in the palace, no matter how bad it is, it will be dragged out.

So this was stopped by Yan Wei, and invited Imperial Doctor Zeng to take a closer look.

When the person died, the pulse could not be verified, and it could only be seen from the superficial symptoms that it was indeed a symptom of smallpox, but Imperial Physician Zeng saw the clue from elsewhere.

The back of the little palace maid's head had traces of being hit hard, as if she had been knocked unconscious and hung on the beam of the house, causing the illusion of self-hanging.

In this way, it is enough to prove that there is a problem.

With this news, Yan Wei quickly returned to the Jade Palace and informed Fang Yu of the matter.

Fang Yu thought about it for a while, and also ordered someone to pass the news to Pei Yao.

In Jingqian Palace, after Pei Yao found out, he got up and went to Qiu Baolin's current temporary residence.

He wanted to see what Lin Chan wanted to do with his last move.

When Qiu Baolin saw Pei Yao coming, he put on a weak and pitiful look, cried and said a lot of sad things for Concubine Yan, and complained that his fate was not good.

Wang Cainu, who lived with her, died in the fire, and now she has only moved to Yining Palace not long ago, and Concubine Yan has contracted the disease again.

Pei Yao was naturally comforted, but what made him strange was that Qiu Baolin, who he took the initiative to find today, had never smelled the faint, but very seductive fragrance of the previous few times.

Even if you take a closer look, this Qiu Baolin doesn't seem to be as radiant as when he took the initiative to look for him in Jingqian Palace yesterday.

His heart moved slightly, and Pei Yao faintly felt that there was something strange in this.

So he said tentatively, "Okay, don't think nonsense, look at you, yesterday was still very good, today is not as good as yesterday, I think it's sad for the sake of being sad, Concubine Yan has a doctor to take care of, don't be too sad, take care of yourself." ”

Sure enough, hearing Pei Yao say that her complexion was not as good as yesterday, a slight panic flashed on Qiu Baolin's face.

He immediately wiped his tears and nodded, "Yes, thank you for the emperor's concern, the concubine will take care of her health." ”

"That's right." Pei Yao hooked his lips, smiled gently, and said, "I don't have time to accompany you more today, come to Jingqian Palace tomorrow night, and I will ask the dining room to make your favorite peach blossom fish." (End of chapter)
