"Master's wife, the child is sick and the queen is not in the palace. Speaking of which, I have to rely on you to take charge." Zhu Biao bowed and said with an eager look on his face.
Jiang Nan frowned slightly. The sudden illness of the little emperor's grandson really surprised her, but she had written to Zhang Ximeng earlier. Moreover, as Mrs. Zhang Ximeng, she had been in the government for many years and had seen everything.
Jiang Nan is very calm.
"Your Highness, if you are concerned now, you will be confused. You must be steady. I have thought about it. The palace is heavily guarded, especially the East Palace. His Majesty's grandson, who dares to be careless? Even if he is infected, it may not be... Even if he is treated properly,
, there is no obstacle that cannot be overcome. I will go over now to check the situation. Please send someone to tell Xianggong Li and ask him to investigate immediately to see if there has been any sudden infection of the disease recently? We must find out!"
Zhu Biao nodded repeatedly, cupped his hands and said, "These few words from Master Madam make me feel relieved a lot."
Jiang Nan immediately stood up, but after taking a few steps, she turned back, took out a white cloth and put it on.
"This is what Prime Minister Zhang has ordered. People outside and their clothes may be contaminated with disease. You must be careful to avoid aggravating Your Highness's condition."
Zhu Biao was even more relieved when he saw this.
"Master's wife is the Dinghai Shenzhen in Beijing!"
Jiang Nan didn't say anything and went directly to the East Palace.
When she arrived, she suddenly found a carriage in front of her, with a lot of people in it. The carriage stopped, and Lan got out. Beside her, there were several women and a few followers, hula
A large group of people rushed inside.
When Zhu Biao saw this, his scalp suddenly became numb. What was going on?
Who asked her to come?
Lan was his mother-in-law, so Zhu Biao couldn't get angry immediately, but obviously he couldn't let her in like that. So Zhu Biao immediately called someone to stop Lan first.
There is no problem if she wants to go in, but only she is allowed, and she is not allowed to get close to the emperor's grandson for the time being.
As the grandson of the emperor, she was blocked outside and could only watch helplessly as Jiang Nan, dressed in white, entered, which was a bit embarrassing!
"My grandson! Who in the hell wants to harm you! Why did you get infected with smallpox!" Lan was so anxious that she cried bitterly. How did you get infected with smallpox?
It is said that he met someone who was infected, or wore the clothes of an infected person... clothes, by the way, not long ago, didn't you get a woolen dress for the little prince?
I just said, children, don't wear random clothes, isn't silk good? You have to be unconventional, it's a disaster for good children!
Mrs. Lan cried outside and wiped away her tears, grieving endlessly.
Jiang Nan called over the Chang family and the concubine Lu. In addition, everyone who could come into contact with the emperor's grandson was called over, from the palace maids to the eunuchs and the guards.
There are also imperial doctors who are also on the list.
Jiang Nan looked at everyone, especially Mrs. Chang who was crying in tears. She sighed softly, "If the emperor's grandson is really infected with smallpox, he will definitely not fall from the sky and make something out of nothing. You must recall carefully to see if you have encountered it.
Similar situation. Please listen carefully, causing the emperor and grandson to get sick is a huge crime. Regardless of whether it is intentional or not, once the emperor is furious, he will definitely destroy the nine tribes! There is no chance!"
Jiang Nan's words really frightened everyone present. Everyone looked at each other. Chang hesitated again and again, and suddenly whispered: "Master's wife, a few days ago, my child and I went to the library...
…”
Before she could finish speaking, Zhu Biao immediately coughed and said, "You are so anxious and confused. How can something happen to Junior Sister?"
Mrs. Chang's eyes were filled with tears, "I, I am also worried about the emperor. He is still so young. If he gets a serious disease, I'm afraid, I'm afraid..." Mrs. Chang started to cry again.
Jiang Nan waved his hand, "Your Highness, if it is true that a plague like smallpox can come from anywhere, the Royal Library has been sealed. We will send people to investigate immediately. No one can be let go... trace the source, and there can be no omissions.
.This is not only a matter for the emperor and his grandson, but also affects countless people. Your Highness cannot be careless!"
Zhu Biao was startled and nodded quickly, "Thank you for your understanding, Master. I will make arrangements right away."
At this moment, an imperial doctor who was taking care of the emperor's grandson suddenly ran over and said, "It's not good, the emperor's grandson has a rash!"
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Chang's vision went dark and she almost fainted!
It’s still infected after all!
She cried and ran inside. Lu followed closely and supported her with her hands.
Zhu Biao also followed in, and Jiang Nan naturally did not fall behind.
She has already seen clearly that although Chang is a female general, she is still young, has a simple mind, and has not experienced any troubles. She is basically just adding chaos here and has no effect.
But it was hard to say anything... Jiang Nan was also very anxious.
At this moment, there were a lot of red rashes on the little grandson's body. The child was in great pain. He kept scratching with his little hands and cried loudly... The child was crying like this, and everyone present was in chaos. Mrs. Chang even rushed over and grabbed her.
The child's little arms were reduced to tears from crying.
"My flesh, my heart and soul!"
Ms. Lu leaned next to her and kept trying to persuade her, "Sister, stop crying and take care of yourself. Quickly prescribe medicine for Your Highness, and you'll be fine after taking it."
When Mrs. Chang heard the word medicine, she immediately turned her head and looked at the imperial doctors.
The imperial doctors were terrified by her. The emperor's grandson was too young and his illness was very urgent. They did not dare to prescribe medicine casually. If something happened, no one would be able to bear the burden!
Zhu Biao was so anxious that he could only look at Jiang Nan frequently.
"Teacher, what do you think?"
Jiang Nan frowned, her eyes falling on the emperor's grandson's small body. She looked at the emperor's grandson for a long time, and suddenly said: "Look, the emperor's grandson's rash starts from the head and face, and is the most numerous. Now it is also on the body, but
But not many arms and legs!”
Her words reminded several imperial doctors.
The level of these imperial doctors was not bad, but they were frightened and confused. Both Chang and Lu were talking about smallpox. They did not dare to speak casually. If they were misdiagnosed, it would be the life of the whole family!
But after Jiang Nan's reminder, several imperial doctors gained courage. After careful examination, they immediately said to Zhu Biao: "Your Highness, thanks to Jiang Shangshu's clear judgment, if we are not mistaken, the emperor's grandson is not suffering from smallpox, but is infected with chickenpox!"
"Chickenpox?" Zhu Biao asked, "Is it serious?"
The imperial doctor said: "Although it is not serious, chickenpox recovers quickly, especially after the rash falls off, leaving no scars and is far less terrible than smallpox."
Zhu Biao couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, "It is indeed the heaven that protects us!"
After finishing speaking, he turned to Jiang Nan and bowed deeply, "Master, thank you!"
Jiang Nan said: "Whether it's chickenpox or smallpox, it's all caused by external contamination, and the source still needs to be investigated. Your Highness, let the imperial doctor keep an eye on him and don't let him scratch. You don't have to prescribe medicine randomly. Just give him some warming tonic."
.The main thing is to let the wet nurse come over and try to let him eat."
Zhu Biao quickly agreed, and this time Mrs. Chang did not dare to cry, but looked stern.
After about half a day, the rash on Huangsun's body stopped appearing. It was indeed only concentrated on the head and trunk, and did not appear on the limbs.
Then a palace maid reported that she had returned home a few days ago. There was a young sister at home who also had a few red rashes on her face. The family said she touched something unclean and burned some paper at night.
, that’s fine, I didn’t think about it.
check!
Zhu Biao decisively ordered and after some investigation, several children infected with chickenpox were indeed found. Their symptoms were generally very mild and passed within a few days without leaving any sequelae.
Zhu Biao breathed a sigh of relief. On the second day, the emperor's and grandson's condition improved a lot. The fever had gone away and the child was eating. However, the rash was still there and the little one always liked to scratch it.
When Zhu Biao came over to take a look, Jiang Nan was holding the little emperor's grandson, clamping his arms and not allowing him to move. The little guy frowned and fell asleep in Jiang Nan's arms, but from time to time he pursed his lips.
Apparently he didn't sleep well.
Zhu Biao could only use the softest voice, "Master's wife, are you okay?"
Jiang Nan nodded slightly, "It should be fine, finally there is no danger."
In this way, on the third day, the little grandson finally returned to normal. Except for his wilted head and drooping brain, and his lack of energy, everything else was fine. The rash also scabbed off, with only shallow marks. It looked like he was going to die.
It won't take long for it to disappear completely. You will have a fair and clean face again, so you don't have to worry about it being disfigured.
Over the past few days, Jiang Nan has been tormented so much. As soon as the child got sick, Mrs. Chang cried so hard that she lost half of her life.
When the child confirmed her condition, she also fell ill.
The Lan family is not someone you can count on. As for the Lu family, she is quite scheming, but she is younger than the Chang family, so the burden can only fall on Jiang Nan.
"Anyway, the child has not been infected with smallpox, and everything is fine. I can finally explain to Your Majesty, the Queen, and Mr. Zhang."
Jiang Nan said, sighing for a long time, unable to hide his exhaustion. If something happened, none of these three people would agree!
Zhu Biao, what else can he say besides thanking you?
"Master's great kindness will be remembered in my heart by my disciples." Zhu Biao paused and said, "Master, it is indeed chickenpox this time, but the palace maid was infected after she returned home. She is fine... Is there something strange?"
Jiang Nan was startled, "This is not what I should say. Things in the palace are the most complicated. Now that the emperor and grandson are fine, it is not easy to cause trouble. But your highness needs to be careful!"
Zhu Biao nodded, "Disciple, I understand." Then Zhu Biao said, "Master, I have one more thing here. I wonder if you can give me some advice?"
Jiang Nan thought thoughtfully and said with a smile: "It can't be about government affairs, right? It would be more appropriate to discuss government affairs with Li Xianggong."
Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment, then said: "Master's wife, when Master is in Beijing, I also communicate with Master first."
Jiang Nan smiled helplessly, "Okay, let's talk about it."
Zhu Biao said: "Some time ago, I ordered woolen cloth to be used to make clothes for the students in the school, which was a change of customs. Then I remembered that in previous years, there would be 100,000 pieces of red cloth reserved for students to make clothes. So I wanted them to use this
I picked up the cloth and took it away, only to find that the cloth was seriously damaged, many of the cloth had faded and were as brittle as paper, making it impossible to make clothes!"
Zhu Biao considered it and said: "One hundred thousand pieces of cloth, even if it is calculated as a medium piece of cloth, it is still 700,000 pieces, or even more!"
Jiang Nan frowned slightly and then said: "Over the years, there have been endless cases of this kind of theft and selling. If Your Highness wants to handle it, he must use thunderbolt means to seal the warehouse immediately. If it is delayed for a long time, I am afraid that nothing will be found.
.”
Zhu Biao thought for a while, nodded and said: "What the teacher's wife reminded me is that I understand how to do it."
Jiang Nan left the East Palace and went back to rest.
After the incident, Zhu Biao ordered Zhongshu Sheng. After the emperor's grandson recovered, he wanted to go to the Ancestral Temple to offer incense... Li Shanchang and others didn't notice anything, so they followed him out. Among this group of people, there was also someone who had just been promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
Luben soon.
Zhu Biao smiled and said: "There are still two hours until the auspicious time. Everyone, please follow me to a place!"
As he said that, Zhu Biao took the lead. Without waiting for anyone to react, the team turned around and headed straight for the Ministry of Household Warehouse. Li Shanchang was suddenly stunned, and then he realized something. Well, he is worthy of being the son of His Majesty! He is so decisive.
