When the prince of no descendants found out that he had a baby, he went crazy

Chapter 189 188 The Palace Caught Fire, No One Escaped

The young eunuch ran towards the palace with a gloomy look in his eyes. It was because he was not smart enough that the chief eunuch Lin Fu took a fancy to him and took him as his godson. Only a young eunuch like him who had no backing could do this kind of errand running.

Gu Hua was very glad that he had brought all kinds of medicines back from the Divine Doctor Valley into the space when he came to the capital this time.

This drug, which can cause an attack similar to an epidemic, was developed by Situ Haoran who developed it on a whim to make people have a fever and vomit for fun...

Wait until the young eunuch ran back to the palace, panting, to find Eunuch Lin and report the situation here.

Lin Fu frowned his sparse eyebrows, and his eyes flashed with coldness and cunningness.

His thoughts are similar to those of his godson.

It would be fine if the three children only had minor illnesses.

He also heard in the palace that some victims outside had already been infected with the plague. If several children were infected outside during this period, they would be brought into the palace at this time.

Not to mention whether those nobles would be infected with the plague, even he didn't want to have such close contact with people who might be infected with the plague.

However, the emperor has ordered that the children be brought into the palace for custody. If these servants do not inform him, they will not be allowed to take them in. They are afraid that the emperor, who enjoys killing people for fun, will chop them all into pieces and feed them to the wild beasts in the zoo.

Lin Fu thought it through.

Still reported the matter to the emperor.

Xiao Junmo was a suspicious emperor to begin with. When he heard this, a look of suspicion flashed in his eyes.

"Lin Fu, you personally bring the imperial physician to treat the three children. If they have common illnesses, you can still bring them into the palace."

Lin Fu had followed the emperor for many years, so of course he could see that he was suspicious. This was because Prince Li did not want the child to be taken back to the palace as a hostage, so he came up with this idea.

"Yes." However, before Lin Fu accepted the order and left, he still asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, if the three children really have a highly contagious disease, will I still bring them into the palace?"

Emperor Xiao Junmo looked at the eunuch beside him and said gloomily: "What do you think?"

Lin Fu choked.

"I understand." He bowed respectfully and took his leave. He walked out of the palace gate and wiped the cold sweat from his head. He lamented that the emperor's temper was getting more and more violent. He could not delay any more, so he went to the Imperial Hospital to find the imperial physician to serve the emperor.

Gu Hua and his companions had just left Prince Li's mansion when several children began to feel unwell. Now they have returned to the mansion.

Shen Hongling and Shen Hongwei, as well as Ergui and Han Jinyan, disguised themselves as attendants and maids of the palace, holding An An and the others in their arms, waiting for the eunuch to return to the palace.

In order to make the scene look more realistic, Gu Hua and the maids who had been taking close care of the three children during this period all took fake disease pills that caused fever and vomiting similar to those caused by epidemics.

"Godfather, you're here." The leading eunuch, who was sitting cross-legged in the palace, saw Lin Fu coming in with the imperial physician. He immediately stood up and acted like a grandson, bending down and calling him daddy in a flattering manner.

"Yeah," Lin Fu replied softly.

He was the chief eunuch of the palace and the senior eunuch serving the emperor. There were many young eunuchs in the palace who recognized him as their godfather. This leading eunuch was obviously not Lin Fu's favorite godson.

Lin Fu led the imperial physician to approach the children. Seeing their listless appearance, he raised his sleeves and took a step back in disdain. "Imperial Physician Wang, can you help them find out what's wrong with them?"

When the imperial physician Wang Xing approached, he saw several children with red faces, slight breathing, and a few coughs. They were obviously drowsy due to fever, and occasionally vomited.

He also heard that there was an epidemic outside the capital during this period and many people died. The symptoms were the same as those of the three children and Gu Hua, with fever, dizziness, and vomiting...

Facing a highly contagious plague, Wang Yuyi was also a human being, and he was also afraid of being infected by close contact. However, seeing Lin Fu's sinister smile, Wang Yuyi did not dare to disobey the emperor's order and retreated, so he had to bite the bullet and step forward to check the pulses of the children.

"The pulse is chaotic, the body is hot, and there is an occasional cough." The imperial physician was afraid that he would be infected if he was exposed for too long, so he hurriedly took the pulse, withdrew his hand, and made a diagnosis: "It's an epidemic! It's an epidemic!"

Hearing that several children were confirmed to have contracted the epidemic, Lin Fu covered his mouth and nose more tightly, retreated further, and hurriedly said, "Close the gate of the palace. During this period, no one in the palace is allowed to enter or leave."

I saw Lin Fu and his group running faster than rabbits.

Gu Hua coughed and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

Soon after, the gate of the palace was guarded by guards sent by the emperor, who prevented people inside from leaving.

Gu Hua glanced at Ye An who was left behind by Xiao Junlin. This kid was a bit talkative but was quite smart. He immediately understood what Gu Hua wanted to express and started knocking on the door with a group of servants from the palace.

"Boom boom boom..." The knocking was so loud that it shook the earth.

"Let us out..."

"We don't want to be locked up here and get infected with the disease."

The guards guarding the door turned a deaf ear to their noise. They were sent to guard this door and were ordered not to let anyone out.

Lin Fu reported the situation in the palace to Emperor Xiao Junmo, and a trace of pity appeared on his swollen and violent face. However, when he thought that Xiao Junlin had been poisoned by the Gu he had sent people to plant, and that his expression did not seem like he was lying, he thought that the children might not really be his offspring.

Since they were not his own children, even if he brought the three children to the palace, it would be of limited use to control Xiao Junlin, his cold and rational cousin.

At this moment, Yue Mei, the favored imperial concubine in the harem, sent someone to ask Xiao Junlin to leave, saying that the Taoist priest of the Wudao Palace had prepared a new batch of elixirs and asked the emperor to take them.

In this way, the three children were forgotten by the emperor who was obsessed with immortality through elixirs.

In the following time, Gu Hua and the others seemed to be forgotten.

……

The method Gu Hua came up with successfully prevented the three children from being taken into the palace by the dog emperor, but then she became worried about how to escape from the capital without alerting the emperor and others and being hunted down.

Before Gu Hua could come up with a foolproof solution.

Xiao Qingzhi from the Princess's Mansion learned that she had wanted to kill Gu Hua and the other three for a long time, but was suppressed by her royal brother. Now, after hearing that they were brought back to the palace and were infected with the plague when they went out to play, she laughed happily.

But after being happy, the eldest princess touched the place under her chest where her ribs had been broken by the kick, and felt that it would be difficult to relieve the hatred in her heart by letting them die of illness.

So I decided to go all out.

A hint of sinister viciousness flashed across Xiao Qingzhi's eyes, which were covered with heavy eyeshadow. She called her confidants from the princess's mansion... and gave them all the instructions.

……

That night.

Thick smoke rose into the sky from Prince Li's palace, and the fire was so fierce that the entire palace turned into a sea of ​​fire in an instant, with billowing smoke and flickering flames.

The guards who were guarding the palace gate were drunk by someone, and by the time they discovered the fire, the fire in the palace was already so severe that it could not be put out.

The news that the palace caught fire but no one escaped spread throughout the capital the next day...
