"smallpox?"

Fang Pinlan's hand hanging in the air trembled, and the butterfly that landed on the flower flew away. The little maid nodded affirmatively.

She had a lot of thoughts in her heart, and it was strange to say that a good person could become sick just because he said he was sick. Is there any hidden secret in it?
Before she could think about it, her mother's personal maid came over.

"Girl, the eldest lady is calling you."

Fang Pinlan smelled a hint of danger. Could it be that King Duan really caused smallpox?

She walked towards the eldest lady's yard with a serious look on her face. The eldest lady was running around in the house anxiously.

As soon as Fang Pinlan arrived, she ordered the maids around her to step back and close the door tightly, so no one could come in.

After confirming that the surroundings were safe, the eldest lady took Fang Pinlan's hand.

"Lan'er, my miserable child."

Fang Pinlan looked as simple and confused as ever.

"Mother?"

The eldest lady wiped her eyes with a handkerchief.

"I heard that King Duan caused smallpox, and there will be a palace banquet in two days. I will marry you to him then. What will you do in the next life?"

Fang Pinlan took her mother's hand and sat down, comforting her softly.

"Mother, it's okay. It would be fine if it was just a wedding. I won't marry into the prince's palace right away. Maybe by the time I get married, the prince's smallpox will be cured?"

The eldest lady waved her hand and said, "That King Duan gets sick every now and then. You can imagine what kind of damage he has to his body. If he doesn't recover and gives others a reputation as your sworn wife, how will you be able to get married in the future?"

"If it is cured, it will be smallpox, leaving pockmarks on the face."

"What's worse, what if you get infected?"

The more the eldest lady thought about it, the worse she got. She kept saying that her daughter's life was miserable, and tears were about to burst out again.

Fang Pinlan was a smart person. Instead of being as panicked as her mother, she comforted her mother.

"Mom, we have just received the news. We are not sure whether it is accurate or not. Even if it is true, the emperor will not ask me to marry and join the palace immediately while he is seriously ill, right?"

"That's what I say. Now the royal heirs are in decline."

Fang Pinlan thought for a moment and said to the lady with determination in her eyes.

"Mom, I'm going to go out."

"Get out? Where are you going? Your father said you won't be allowed to go out."

"Hearing is false and seeing is believing. I am going to go to the palace in person."

The eldest lady did not agree with anything she said. She waved her hand and said, "Don't mention this matter again. Your father is in a bad mood recently and shuts himself up in the study all day long. If you do anything wrong again to make him unhappy, you It’s time for another heavy punishment.”

Fang Pinlan agreed wholeheartedly, but her mind was running rapidly.

In front of Prince Duan's Mansion, a thin young master patted the door of the mansion, and the steward looked up and down and asked.

"Who are you looking for, young master?"

"I'm looking for Prince Duan." Fang Pinlan's face was not red and her heart was not beating.

The steward replied coldly, "The prince is nowhere to be seen."

Fang Pinlan hurriedly pressed the door again, "Then I'll find the prince's bodyguard, a close bodyguard."

The steward raised his chin and said, "There are several close guards. Which one are you looking for?"

Fang Pinlan hesitated, but the guard didn't say his name that day.

At the moment of embarrassment, Lin Jiangyue was walking towards the door with some candied snacks in her arms.

Fang Pinlan's eyes lit up and she pointed at Lin Jiangyue.

"I'm looking for her, I know her!"

Lin Jiangyue looked up and saw Fang Pinlan. She turned around and was about to leave, but Fang Pinlan shouted loudly.

"Little lady, why are you hiding from me?"

Lin Jiangyue then turned around and smiled awkwardly, "I, I just bought something and forgot to pay." There was no way, Lin Jiangyue had to take her into her yard.

That day, she lied to her that Li Yi was a guard, and then took a detour back to Prince Duan's Mansion. Now she caught her at the gate of the palace, which was really embarrassing.

But then I thought about it, why should I be embarrassed? I didn't do anything shameful.

Lin Jiangyue straightened her body when she thought of this.

Lin Jiangyue and Fang Pinlan were sitting in the pavilion in the yard drinking tea, but Fang Pinlan couldn't wait to ask.

"What was the name of the guard who rescued me that day?"

Lin Jiangyue touched the tip of her nose that was sweating due to the heat, "Yuanshan, his name is Yuanshan."

Fang Pinlan nodded, "Why are you in Prince Duan's Mansion?"

"Your Majesty is sick, I'm here to take a look at him."

Fang Pinlan nodded, "How is the prince's illness? Is it really smallpox? Also, will the prince turn into hemp?"

Lin Jiangyue shook her head, "The prince is not allowed to tell anyone about this, but Miss Fang, you disguised yourself as a man and sneaked out, and you came to the palace. It would be terrible if someone discovered this."

Fang Pinlan didn't care at all, she was full of confidence, "I'm pretending to be a man. If I don't tell, who can tell?"

Lin Jiangyue sighed helplessly, feeling deeply that her lies were getting bigger and bigger.

"Ms. Lin, you haven't answered me yet. How is the prince?"

"He has red rashes all over his body. I know a bit about metaphysics. The specific treatment depends on what the doctor says."

Lin Jiangyue could only answer honestly, but Fang Pinlan's curiosity remained unabated and she continued to ask.

"Then, can you take me to meet him?"

Lin Jiangyue sat on pins and needles, "Miss Fang, you must not do it. If it is really smallpox and it infects you, it will be serious."

"In the worst case, you will lose your life; in the worst case, your face will be pockmarked."

Fang Pinlan shook her head and kept begging Lin Jiangyue.

At this moment, the housekeeper suddenly came over in a hurry.

"Ms. Lin, the prince asked you to come over."

Fang Pinlan immediately became energetic when she heard this. Her eyes shone, "Ms. Lin, I'm going with you! Let's go together!"

Lin Jiangyue was in a dilemma, Fang Pinlan thought quickly and whispered a suggestion.

"How about this? If I don't go in, don't close the door. I'll just peek through the crack in the door."

"Just one look at it makes me feel at ease!"

Lin Jiangyue nodded helplessly.

Lin Jiangyue's yard was not far from Duanwang's courtyard. Lin Jiangyue tied a face towel with her face and tied a face towel with Fang Pinlan.

Knock on the door and go in, leaving a crack in the door for Fang Pinlan.

Lin Jiangyue stepped forward to diagnose King Duan's pulse, while Fang Pinlan's big eyes were staring at the crack in the door.

At first, because of the distance and angle, she couldn't see it at all. She was so anxious that she was like an ant on a hot pot.

Finally King Duan turned over, and the angle was just right.

That scene simply shocked Fang Pinlan's jaw.

Duan Wang's entire face and hands, and all visible exposed skin, were covered in red rashes.

What was horrifying was the face, which was covered in dense red rashes and swollen like a pig's head. Fang Pinlan had goosebumps all over her body.

smallpox!It’s really smallpox!

She staggered back a few steps in fear, but she never expected to bump into someone.

A voice sounded from behind
"What are you doing here?"
