"Smallpox?" Ling Ruo stood up suddenly, with a look of shock on his face. Guarjia on the other side was also the same, saying in a horrified voice: "Brother Shi has always been in the palace, how could he be infected with smallpox?"
Smallpox, also known as acne, is an extremely terrible and highly contagious disease. There is no cure. Once you are infected with smallpox, your chances of surviving are extremely small, and even if you are lucky enough to survive, you will have ugly acne scars for life.
At that time, Emperor Shunzhi died of smallpox. As for today's Emperor Kangxi, he was also infected with smallpox. Fortunately, he survived, but there are still scars on his face.
Faced with Guarjia's question, Li Wei shook his head and said: "This slave doesn't know, but Dr. Xu has already confirmed the diagnosis, and it is expected to be correct. Ye Fujin has cried and passed out several times. Now the fourth master has sent Zhou Yong to come in overnight.
The palace went to ask the imperial doctor, and while he was being treated with Imperial Physician Xu, my elder brother and his direct descendant Fujin also passed by. Liuyun Pavilion was in chaos, and everyone inside has been quarantined at this moment to prevent them from contracting smallpox and unknowingly harming others."
Hong Shang was still in his infancy. He contracted smallpox at this time and was almost certain to die. No wonder Ye was heartbroken. Ling Ruo thought about it and stood up and said, "Let's go and have a look."
"Absolutely not." Li Wei stopped her in a panic and said, "Master, you are pregnant now. How can you go to a place like this? What will happen if you get infected? Even if you don't care about yourself, you should still take care of your little brother.
"
"Smallpox can only be transmitted through contact. I'm just outside, so I won't be in the way. Besides, such a big thing happened in the house, and it wouldn't be good if I didn't go." There was one more thing Ling Ruo didn't say. This incident made her feel a little uncomfortable.
I had an ominous premonition, so I had to go there in person.
Seeing that Ling Ruo insisted on doing this, Li Wei had no choice but to obey and asked Mo Yu to get a lotus color cloak and put it on Ling Ruo. Fortunately, the rain had stopped now, otherwise there would still be trouble.
When she was about to step out the door, she glanced at Gualjia and said, "Sister, are you interested in going with us?"
Guarjia nodded, put down the tea lid she was playing with, stood up, and said lightly: "Everything is fine, so I might as well go take a look."
In this way, the two of them walked together. Before they arrived at Liuyun Pavilion, they saw that there were bright lights and numerous figures. From time to time, people could be seen running in and out, busy.
Yinzhen was sitting in the main hall of Liuyun Pavilion at the moment, listening to the results of the discussion of several imperial doctors. Not only the Nala family had arrived, but also the Nian family, as well as the Song family, Tong Jia family and others. It seemed that this matter had already caused alarm.
Everyone.
Seeing Ling Ruo come in, Yinzhen was stunned for a moment, walked quickly to her and scolded her: "What are you doing here when you're not staying at Jingsi Residence? What a joke, go back quickly."
"I'm fine." Ling Ruo reassured and continued: "I heard that my elder brother was infected with smallpox, and I was worried, so I came here to see what's going on. Is there anything the imperial doctor can do?"
"No." When he said this, Yinzhen's expression dimmed and he said in a deep voice: "Smallpox is an incurable disease. Several imperial doctors said that medicine and stones have little effect. It only depends on whether Hongshi can survive it.
This level."
When Narashi heard this from the side, he couldn't help wiping away his tears and said, "How can a young man like Brother Shi suffer so much from illness? When I went in just now to see him, he was suffering from fever and convulsing. It's really pitiful."
"Do you know where Brother Shi got the smallpox?" Gualga asked.
Nala glanced at her faintly, shook her head and said, "I don't know yet. Doctor Xu is examining the things Hong Shi used, hoping to have clues."
In this way, after waiting for a while, Rong Yuan came out from the inner hall with the curtain drawn up. He was also startled when he saw Ling Ruo, and quickly handed the things in his hands to the boy who came out with him, while he himself
After getting hot water and washing his hands, he stepped forward and said: "How come Ling Fujin is here? Go back quickly. What if you don't contract a serious disease?" He tried his best to sound like a doctor.
Concerns about others, not anything else.
"Don't worry, Doctor Xu. I also have some knowledge of medical science and know that as long as you don't come into contact with patients, you won't be infected." When he heard this sentence, Rong Yuan's eyes dimmed slightly. Ling Ruo's medical theory was what he taught;
The joy and carelessness of that time are gone forever.
"Did Dr. Xu find anything?" Nian asked from the side, her usually delicate and beautiful face looking a little haggard.
Rong Yuan's expression became serious when he heard this, and he said: "When Weichen was inspecting my brother Shicai, he found an inconspicuous stain on the connection between the collar and the back of one of the close-fitting clothes. Weichen was suspicious, so
I specially asked a few colleagues to take a look at it."
After that, he asked everyone to cover their mouths and noses, and then the servants took the small clothes in their hands and looked at them with all the imperial doctors. After careful inspection, all the imperial doctors confirmed that the stains on the clothes were the pus from the ruptured acne bags on the smallpox patients.
Hongshi's clothes were all newly made, so there was no way he could be infected with smallpox. So there was only one possibility: someone deliberately wanted to harm Hongshi.
Everyone who thought of this had their hearts beat violently and looked at each other, no one dared to speak first. Yinzhen's face was so gloomy that it could drip water, and he slapped the table with his hand, making the tea cup jump.
When Lao Gao got up, he didn't even look at the water that splashed all over the table, and ordered the dog in a cold voice, "Go and find out who made this dress and whose hands it passed through. Don't miss any of it!"
Just when the dog took the order and carefully took the clothes and prepared to go down, Dai Jia, who rarely spoke, suddenly let out a cry. Although it was very soft, it was still heard. Tong Jia said in a low voice: "
Does sister know this little coat?"
On the other side, Guarjia had pursed her lips tightly, staring at the clothes without blinking, and cold sweat couldn't help dripping from her forehead.
"This..." Dai Jiashi said hesitantly: "This little coat seems to have been sent by Sister Yun a while ago, and I happened to be there at that time, because Sister Yun said that the material used to make the clothes was the plain brocade that the Fourth Master rewarded years ago.
, Su Jin is rare, so I held it in my hand and looked at it. There is a rose flower on the rolled-up sleeve of this coat." Opening the coat, a pink rose was as vivid as she said.
As soon as she finished speaking, Yinzhen's cold gaze fell on Guarjia, "Yun Yue, is it true?"
"You must save me!" After Guarjia said this to Ling Ruo quickly, she knelt down in front of Yinzhen, sweating, "I told you that I did give Shi a few small clothes.
Brother, every piece of concubine has been carefully inspected, there are absolutely no stains, let alone smallpox, please be clear to me, Your Majesty!"
"If you don't have any ghosts in your heart, why should you kneel down in a hurry?" Nian narrowed his narrow eyes and said, "Besides, this little coat was made by you and you personally delivered it to Liuyun Pavilion. How could you still do it?
Who is it? Could it be that Li Fujin harmed her own son?"
