Chapter 368 Smallpox
After that day, some gossip gradually circulated in Shengjing City. The princess of the Ming and Qing Dynasties of the Duke’s Mansion fell ill. , the princess was just suffering from a minor illness, and nine out of ten of them have recovered now, even the doctor who treated the princess came out to prove it in due course, but there was a slight flicker in his words, which made people not only not relieved, but even more confused.

"This princess doesn't have any bad diseases, does she?"

"I think it's very possible, otherwise why are you keeping it so tight?"

"Don't let it be some kind of infectious disease, then it won't be as simple as a duke's mansion!"

"Hey! This country's government is too unlucky!"

"Exactly! I heard that the eldest prince just went to the Duke's Mansion to propose marriage a few days ago!"

"It's not easy to come across an opportunity to climb the dragon and become the phoenix. No wonder the Duke's mansion is so tight-lipped!"

Ordinary people have the capital to talk after dinner and tea, and such gossip can be seen everywhere.Soon it spread to the Duke's mansion, and I heard that the Duke was furious, and if he hadn't been embraced by the eldest son, he would have come out to scold him a long time ago.

The news of the old Duke's anger spread again soon, not only did it spread, but it also spread to the Fourth Prince's Mansion and even the imperial palace along with the speculations of the common people.

The old emperor who had just abused and played with his little concubine was lying on the bed in disheveled clothes, looking at his son kneeling on the ground with a sleepy expression.

"What? You backed down with a small rumor?" The emperor sneered, "If the old man doesn't want to marry his daughter to you, will you give up your mind if you spread some rumors?"

"That old man, he dares to use such a low-level method on this king!" The eldest prince was furious, and he punched the ground with both fists, with a hideous expression on his face: "This king must make him regret it!"

Glancing at his son with old and cloudy eyes, the old emperor shook his head in his heart, this is an idiot, he is really unwilling to hand over Yunan's country to him, but... only he can fulfill his last wish for himself, Murong Mansion was destroyed.He knew that he would not live long, and there were only five or six antidote left in the porcelain bottle, but he asked the imperial physician to develop the same medicine or even a medicine with similar properties, but there was no result yet.So, he endured taking only one pill a day, which was only enough for him to live for five or six days. He didn't live enough, so he hated the person who couldn't let him live and enjoy himself—Murong Zhen. So, even if he couldn't kill her, His son also wants to help him kill her, and a few days ago, he tested his favorite son, Ye Junlan, but he told himself that he handled it well before, and that the Murong family should not be wronged, wronged treat?What is mistreatment?They acted recklessly and poisoned the present day. Would he still support them?
After some testing, he was very disappointed with Ye Junlan. This son who didn't know his own suffering was not worthy of his cultivation and love, and naturally he was not worthy of his inheritance.Therefore, the eldest son of the Murong family who hated him so much became his life-saving medicine. If he wanted to support him to become the next emperor, he had to gather forces for him. Otherwise, his throne would not be stable at all. Ye Junlan had won his heart before. However, Ye Junlan's party members are already rich, but this brave and foolish elder son has a shallow foundation.Therefore, he advises him and wins over the courtiers for him. When the time comes when he passes the throne to him, the destruction of Murong Mansion will not be far away!
The eldest prince also saw that his father was dissatisfied with him, but what can he do?He can't risk his life to win over power, can he?

Seeing his son's stubborn appearance, the old emperor felt more and more disappointed, but he had no choice, didn't he?He can't go to heaven by himself and watch the person who harmed him live happily in others. Even if he dies, he will drag the Murong Mansion to be buried with him!
"Go to the imperial hospital and choose a doctor with good medical skills to accompany you to visit that girl of Ming and Qing! Anyway, she is your fiancée. I heard that she is ill. Even though you are a prince, you should go and visit her!"

"Yes!" The eldest prince also showed a satisfied expression. That's right, bring the imperial physician and first confirm that Li Yanlong's girl is really sick. If she is seriously ill, he will not want it. If not, he will definitely have to. The one who married her back, that girl, he had seen it, her appearance was fair, although she was not as beautiful as Murong Zhen, she was also considered a remarkable little beauty, and her ability was not weak, it is said that not only her combat power was not low, but her martial arts skills were also good. Martial arts are also available!Marrying back would indeed be a great benefit to him.

"Okay, step back first! I'm tired!" The old emperor lay prone on the bed, and waved his hands listlessly.

The eldest prince saluted before retreating respectfully.After exiting the emperor's bedroom, the eldest prince went straight to the imperial hospital, picked out the most famous old doctor, and left without saying a word.

The old doctor followed behind the eldest prince tremblingly, he was so old that he still had to be dragged away by him. However, even though his face was ugly, he finally endured it. Who would let this man be his master?
In the Duke's Mansion, upon hearing that the eldest prince is coming, the old Duke and the Shizi welcomed him in immediately, with the enthusiasm as if they were seeing their own mother.

"My lord, I don't know my lord's arrival, I'm sorry to welcome you, it's a sin!" After the old man led his family to salute, he immediately said with a smile.

"Father, why are you and the prince being polite? This will be a family soon! Will there be fewer chances to come here in the future? This is too alien!" Li Hanshui said about his father, and then looked at the eldest prince again, with a look The two brothers looked good: "My lord and brother-in-law, do you think so?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Before the eldest prince could speak, the old man on the side began to reflect on himself, "It is true that I have been alienated! Come on, come in and do it, and we will be a family from now on! Fast forward, fast forward!"

However, the eldest prince's eyes darkened, and he glanced at Li's father and son, hmph, is this planning to put their daughter and sister on his head?This kind of attitude, I don't think what my father said at all, it's a rumor deliberately spread by the old man because he doesn't want to marry his daughter, could it be that Li Yanlong really has a serious illness?Thinking of this, my heart sank, but my face did not change, and I looked at the old man with a smile, "The bride price has not yet been awarded, and the marriage alliance has not yet been decided, it is too early to talk about a family, we must not miss the honor of the young lady! "

The old Duke's heart also sank, and he snorted coldly in his heart. Sure enough, a guard is more worthy of entrustment than this dignified prince. With this kind of cognition in his heart, his complexion also did not change. He stroked his beard, and the old Duke smiled. Very idiot, "Where is this? The prince has already come to propose marriage, and the Duke's mansion has no objection. The marriage contract is considered to be set. In the future, the old man will ask the emperor for a marriage. Whoever has no eyes would dare to slander The little girl is pure reputation? The prince should not worry, you pity the little girl so much, this is the luck of the three lives of the little girl, to be favored by the prince!"

The eldest prince has an urge to run away. He is almost certain that this Li Yanlong is definitely suffering from a serious illness. Otherwise, on the day he came to propose marriage, he would not have seen the enthusiasm of Li's father and son. Hmph, want to lean on me , It also depends on whether she is worth it? "By the way, I heard that the princess is ill again, so this king specially brought the best imperial physician in the palace to show the princess!"

"No, no, no!" At this moment, the smiling old Duke finally changed his face, became nervous, and waved his hand at the eldest prince, "The little girl is just a little sick, and she has been resting for the past two days. Alright! There is no need to ask the left physician."

The smile on the eldest prince's face could no longer hold back, it gradually disappeared, and his tone became stiff and no longer the gentleness before, "Since you're all here, it's good for the Princess to check it out!" Without waiting for Li Guogong to shirk, he directly dragged the doctor to the backyard, "Please lead the way!"

The Duke was extremely embarrassed, but he couldn't stand the prince's kindness, so he had no choice but to lead the eldest prince and the imperial physician to the small building of his daughter in the backyard.

Seeing that exquisite small building, the eldest prince seemed to understand the reason why his father asked him to marry Li Yanlong. Thinking about it, this Li Yanlong was very much loved by the Li family, but... the eldest prince understood, and now But he didn't plan to do that anymore, he couldn't marry a sick and consumptive ghost back to the palace.

At this time, Li Yanlong was lying on the bed, and the transparent gauze was put down, and everyone could only see a hazy figure, especially the eldest prince, who was very afraid that Li Yanlong would catch some unclean disease and infect himself. That would be bad!Standing far away at the door, he pushed the old doctor he had brought out.

Helplessness flashed in the old doctor's eyes, and he walked to the bedside in a graceful manner just after he saluted like the grandpa and the son of the country.The one who approached with him was Shizi Ye, even the Duke of the State, who never took a step forward.

"Sister, the lord has brought the imperial physician over to show you. Stretch out your wrist and ask the imperial physician to help you feel the pulse!" Li Hanshui said softly to the person lying on the bed.

A slender white hand stretched out through the gauze, and the person inside said softly, "Doctor please!"

"You are very polite, princess!" The imperial physician bowed, and just sat down beside the bed, stretched out his hand to press on Li Yanlong's pulse gate, and took the pulse meticulously.The eldest prince watched from a distance, looked at the old doctor's frown, and thought to himself, as expected, he had guessed right, hmph, with such a bad disease, it is really wishful thinking to dare to marry into the palace. I completely forgot about the fact that I came to propose marriage first.

"Princess, can I let the old man take a look at your complexion?" When the imperial doctor saw the rash on the little wrist, he had no choice but to make such a request.

"I...I..." The person on the bed seemed a little hesitant, but at this moment, Li Hanshui opened his mouth.

"Sister, Physician Zuo is a holy doctor, let him take a closer look at it!" Li Hanshui said, "Doctor Miao said you had a cold but it didn't improve. Let Physician Zuo check it out, so we can rest assured!"

"But..." The person on the bed was still a little hesitant, not knowing whether he should be seen or not.

Li Hanshui didn't care about it, and directly raised the gauze curtain, but after seeing his sister's appearance, he was so shocked that he was almost speechless, "You...how is your face...why is it like this? Why don't you Say!"

"I... woo woo... I'm scared, I'm... so ugly, I'm afraid..." Li Yanlong's intermittent crying was interrupted by an even more shocking scream.

"smallpox!"
