Donggong Zhangjiao

Chapter 326: Smallpox

The next day, Jiaofang Hall paid his respects.

The time has come, but Wan Liangyuan and Xie Meiren's seats are still empty.

He Lingyi and Wan Liangyuan broke up with each other last time. After they were demoted, he has always hated Wan Liangyuan.

When I saw that someone didn't come to greet me on time, I immediately became very angry.

"Hey, why is it that the sun in Yichun Palace rises later than elsewhere, but there is no one around yet, and you are asking us to wait?"

She said something sarcastic, but no one paid any attention to her.

After being bored, He Lingyi had no choice but to shut up.

At this time, the queen came out of the room unhurriedly. After receiving the courtesy from everyone, she sat down and said.

"I'm afraid the weather has been bad lately. Yesterday afternoon, someone came to Wanliangyuan Palace to report that she was sick and had a cough. This morning, Beauty Xie also reported that she felt dizzy and nauseated in the morning. I guess both of them are caught in the cold, so you should be more careful."

Hearing what the queen said, He Lingyi's face suddenly changed.

"Seven or eight days ago, I just said that a little palace maid at the Clothing Bureau had smallpox. It's not like they were both infected!"

"You're so good, you're talking nonsense again!" Jinbi glared at her, "I've already asked the imperial doctor to take a look. It's smallpox but I can't see it out. You're just saying unfavorable words."

He Lingyi was naturally unhappy after being scolded by Jinbin. Before she was demoted, Jinbin was nothing in front of her.

He immediately became angry, "Who are you? How dare you talk to me like this!"

"I am the concubine and you are the imperial concubine. If you say something wrong, I will not scold you!"

Jinbi did not give in this time.

Mainly, she wanted to show off to Fang Yun.

Fang Yun said before that he wanted to get close to the eldest prince, and also said that Jin Bin could be promoted to a concubine, so Jin Bin took it to heart.

And this reached its peak after Fang Yun personally asked Song Liangyuan for promotion at the Fourth Prince's birthday party.

Now Jinbin really wants to follow Fang Yun.

In Jinbin's understanding, Fang Yun hated He Lingyi and Concubine Yang, so she naturally took the opportunity to show it off.

She didn't dare to quarrel with Concubine Yang, but she dared to do so even though her status was lower than that of He Lingyi.

From the main seat, the queen saw the two people quarreling and immediately shouted in a low voice.

"Okay, shut up!"

After being scolded, the two fell silent.

At this time, Concubine Yang smiled and spoke.

"It is said that Concubine Zhao is weak. Unexpectedly, during such a bad time, she would get sick twice at once, and none of them affected Concubine Zhao's sister. It seems that the dragon energy around the emperor nourishes people, and Concubine Zhao is often sick. I think it’s because I’ve been blessed by serving the emperor.”

Having said this, he glanced at the queen, then glanced at Fang Yun, and said deliberately.

"I heard that the emperor lost his temper yesterday. It was the emperor's Eunuch Fuxi who went to Yuzhang Palace to invite Concubine Zhao. Now everyone in the emperor's office knows that Concubine Zhao is the emperor's favorite. Queen, do you think so? no?"

It's really obvious to sow discord.

Fang Yun glanced at her coldly and said calmly.

"Concubine Yang really has a restless mind. She has to stare at Yuzhang Palace, Jingqian Palace, and Jiaofang Palace as well. She really wants to break her heart and use it. I don't understand. How come a person as careful as Concubine Yang can't understand the emperor's feelings and keep him in Zhongcui Palace?"

"No one can compare with Concubine Zhao. She has so many tricks. What tricks do she use to seduce people behind her back?"

Concubine Yang was not polite and was sarcastic secretly.

When she said this, Fang Yun suddenly pursed his lips and smiled.

"Yeah, I'm looking at Sister Yang Fei out of curiosity. How about when the Emperor goes to my sister's palace next time, I can invite my sister to come and have a look?"

"That's not necessary."

Concubine Yang felt bored and turned away.

But after seeing her frustrated by Fang Yun, the queen slowly spoke.

"Concubine Zhao is good at understanding the holy will, and she is the most careful and appropriate. Not only does the emperor like it, but I also like it. Considering that you are weak and there are two children in the palace, I specially ordered someone to prepare some warming medicine. You can take the medicinal ingredients back later and ask the kitchen to cook them for you to eat." This meant ignoring Concubine Yang's instigation.

Fang Yun naturally accepted it with a smile.

After coming out of Jiaofang Hall, he walked with Song Liangyuan as usual.

It was also at this moment that Fang Yun noticed that Song Liangyuan seemed to be in low spirits.

"Did you not sleep well last night? You don't feel well. Do you want to ask the doctor to take a look?"

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I must have caught wind and cold. I felt a little unwell in the morning, but it was not serious, so I did not ask for leave from the Queen."

Song Liangyuan pinched her handkerchief and covered her lips, frowning, as if she felt a little nauseous.

Seeing this, Fang Yun naturally stopped her talking and asked her to go back and have a good rest.

When he returned to Yuzhang Palace, he immediately changed his clothes and ordered Yan Wei and Qing Rong to take the incense given by Imperial Physician Zeng to prevent seasonal diseases and smoke the inside and outside of the house.

She didn't care, she was just worried that the child was weak and it would be bad if he got infected.

Especially the fourth prince, who looks like Kang Jian, but is actually like a porcelain doll.

After doing this, he rested and sat on the sofa to talk to the maids.

While Yan Wei was making tea, he said, "I'm afraid the weather in Yichun Palace is not too bad, but two people got sick at once. They seemed to be fine the past few days."

"If your mind is not right, naturally your anger will also be wrong. I think you deserve it." Qingrong snorted.

Fang Yun took the tea from Yan Wei and took a sip.

"I don't care about their health. I'm just afraid that they will get sick. It's a common disease. If they get more frequent, I'm afraid it will spread to our palace."

This disease also means seasonal epidemic.

It can infect people, but it's not a big problem and can be cured.

But of course it’s best if the child doesn’t get sick.

Qingrong nodded and said sternly, "Don't worry, my lady, I will give you orders later. If you don't have any contact with Yichun Palace, those who serve the fourth prince are not allowed to leave Yuzhang Palace."

"Well, it's better to be careful." Fang Yun nodded.

But unexpectedly, nothing happened in Yuzhang Palace, and Song Liangyuan developed a high fever in the afternoon.

The imperial doctor went to take a look, but was not sure whether it was caused by wind and cold.

When he went to see her again the next morning, he found a rash on Song Liangyuan's body, and it was immediately determined that she had contracted smallpox.

This time, the harem exploded.

Everyone in the Huanyi Bureau was isolated to make sure that no more people were infected. It had been ten days and everyone thought they were safe. Unexpectedly, Song Liangyuan fell ill again.

What's even worse is that Song Liangyuan came to Jiaofang Hall yesterday to pay her respects.

Except for Wan Liangyuan and Xie Meiren, everyone in the harem is here.

For a while, everyone in the harem was in danger.

Yuzhang Palace immediately implemented comprehensive disinfection measures.

"Your Majesty, I sent someone to ask Dr. Zeng. He said that smallpox can be contracted through droplets and direct contact. When Song Liangyuan came the day before yesterday, your Majesty ordered someone to carry the fourth prince down, but he didn't call her. Being in the same room with the Fourth Prince, the Queen need not worry too much."

Qingrong tried her best to comfort Fang Yun.

But Fang Yun was still anxious.

"Although I didn't see it at the time, the fourth prince was brought to the palace to play with him later. It's not a matter of ten thousand, just in case. Ask Dr. Zeng if there is any way to prevent it!"

Qingrong didn't dare to delay and hurriedly went to get someone else.

But unexpectedly, before anything happened to the Fourth Prince, it was the Second Princess who got into trouble first.

In the middle of the night, the wet nurse of the second princess came to report that the second princess had a fever.

Fang Yun was also shocked and quickly got up from the bed.
