Yong Cong stared blankly at Mingyu without saying a word. His little face was as red as if he had applied makeup. Mingyu immediately reached out and tried it. Sure enough, he found that as Yong Huang said, it was shockingly hot. He said in a panic: "
Yong Cong has a fever. He was fine before he came here. Why did he suddenly develop a fever? Yong Cong, please speak, don't scare the emperor."
Yong Cong looked at her for a long time and finally opened his mouth to say, "Empress Huang, I feel uncomfortable!"
Mingyu picked him up and murmured: "Don't be afraid, the emperor's mother has sent the imperial doctor to look at you!"
At this time, Hongli also came over and saw Mingyu holding Yong Cong in a panic, and asked with concern: "Queen, how is Yong Cong?"
"Yong Cong... Yong Cong has a fever. He must call the imperial physician immediately." As soon as Mingyu finished speaking, Hongli called Sixi and said, "Send the imperial physician to Kunning Palace immediately."
After Si Xi left quickly, Hongli said: "Queen, you go back first, I will come later." After that, he said to Wei Jingxuan who was following Mingyu: "Take good care of the Queen and Seventh Brother."
Wei Jingxuan knelt down and said: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely know how to do it." After that, she, Ji You and others accompanied Mingyu to walk quickly to Kunning Palace. Today, no one was riding in a carriage, so Mingyu left.
After a few steps, his hands became heavy and he was out of breath. Seeing this, Wei Jingxuan said: "Master, you are tired, let me hold Brother Seventh."
Mingyu couldn't hold her anymore, so she immediately handed Yong Cong to her nanny and told her to hold it carefully. After returning to Kunning Palace, Wei Jingxuan immediately went to bring cold water, twisted the face towel and folded it into a long strip.
Give it to grandma and let her place it on Yong Cong's forehead.
If Mingyu had paid attention, he would have discovered that Wei Jingxuan had deliberately avoided contact with Yong Cong from the time Yong Cong had a fever until now. Unfortunately, Mingyu was all focused on Yong Cong's safety at the moment and did not care about these details at all.
thing.
After an anxious wait, Song Zihua appeared in Mingyu's sight. As soon as she saw him, Mingyu immediately frowned. She knew that Song Zihua was very close to Xianyue, so she was very dissatisfied with him.
His eyes turned and fell on Si Xi who came in with him, "Where's Dr. Zhou? Why don't you see him?"
Si Xi bowed and said, "To tell you the truth, today is New Year's Eve, and there is only one Dr. Song in the Imperial Hospital."
Mingyu glanced at Song Zihua helplessly and said, "Quickly check Brother Seventh's pulse to see why he suddenly has a fever."
Song Zihua responded and came to the bedside to diagnose Yong Cong's pulse. During this period, Hong Li, who had hurriedly broke up the family banquet, came to Kunning Palace. Behind him were Xiayue, Huang and Concubine Yu.
As soon as Hongli saw Mingyu, he asked: "Queen, how is Yong Cong, is it okay?"
Mingyu said nervously: "I don't know, the imperial physician of the Song Dynasty has just arrived and is still diagnosing his pulse." After that, she said worriedly: "Your Majesty, will Yong Cong be okay? I am so scared!"
Hongli comforted him: "No, it's just a fever. I think it's because of the cold weather during this period, so the imperial doctor of Song will prescribe a few medicines and everything will be fine."
Xianyue comforted her at the side: "Yes, Queen, please don't worry too much. Brother Qi has always been in good health. A little cold will be fine."
Mingyu glanced at her without saying anything. After waiting for a while, she finally saw Song Zihua let go of his hand. She hurriedly walked over and said, "Mr. Song, how is Yong Cong? Did he catch the cold? Is it okay?"
Song Zihua bowed to Mingyu, then walked up to Hongli and said softly: "Your Majesty, can we talk for a moment?"
Hearing this, Hong Li frowned immediately. What kind of person was he? He immediately understood that Song Zihua wanted to avoid Mingyu, but he didn't understand that Yong Cong just had a fever, so why he had to avoid Mingyu.
Although he couldn't understand this point, he did not hesitate in his words. He immediately said: "Okay, you come with me to the side hall."
Before Song Zihua could leave, Mingyu walked up and stopped him and said, "Whatever you have to say can be said here. Why do you have to go elsewhere? Song Zihua, I want to ask you, what disease does Yong Cong suffer from?"
Hongli pulled Mingyu over and said: "Queen, please be patient. I will tell you after I talk to the Song imperial physician." After that, he glanced at Sixi and said in a cold voice: "Stay here and live a good life.
Serve the queen."
"Your Majesty..." Mingyu wanted to stop Hongli and the others, but was blocked by Sixi and could not follow. This made her angry and annoyed. Wei Jingxuan came over and comforted her: "Master, don't worry so much, Brother Seventh."
It's fine."
Mingyu said sternly: "If it's okay, why would someone named Song avoid me and talk to the emperor alone?"
Wei Jingxuan was so scolded by her that she didn't dare to answer, but Concubine Yu came over and said: "My Lady, it's useless to be anxious now. You'd better wait patiently for a while."
With Si Xi standing in the way, even if she didn't want to, Mingyu had no choice but to return to the bed and caressed Yong Cong's hot cheeks worriedly. When the latter saw her, he whispered: "Empress, it hurts.
pain."
Mingyu forced out a smile, leaned over and said, "It's okay, the emperor's mother is here. The imperial doctor will go down and prescribe medicine. After drinking the medicine, the pain will not go away."
As for Hongli, after arriving at the side hall, he stared at Song Zihua with an unusually solemn expression and said, "Tell me, what disease does Yong Cong have?"
Song Zihua cupped his hands and said: "When Wei Chen checked the pulse of Brother Seven just now, he found that he complained of pain from time to time, but he couldn't tell where exactly it was. In addition, Wei Chen saw a group of scattered light red spots on Brother Seven's neck.
.”
Hongli didn't understand what he meant by this, and asked doubtfully: "So what, what does it mean?"
"It means..." Song Zihua gritted his teeth and said something that made Hongli change his color in horror, "What the seventh brother has is probably smallpox!"
Hongli's pupils shrank sharply and he said in horror: "Smallpox?" The next moment, he quickly said: "This is impossible, Yong Cong has been staying in the palace all the time, and no one in the harem got smallpox, how could he...
After a pause, he said with a cold expression: "Could it be that you made a wrong diagnosis?"
Song Zihua lowered his eyes and said, "Wei Chen is not sure, so he dare not say it in public. Wei Chen suggested that we invite Chief Fang and Vice President Zhou to enter the palace together to diagnose the seventh elder brother's pulse."
Hongli's face changed several times and he walked out without saying a word. After returning to the main hall, Hongli called Sixi and said: "The palace gate should not be closed now. I have told you to delay closing the palace gate for an hour. You
Take people out of the palace immediately and summon all the imperial doctors into the palace."
Si Xi heard the solemnity in Hong Li's words and did not dare to be negligent. She quickly bowed and retreated. Xianyue came to Hong Li's side and whispered: "Your Majesty, what happened to the seventh elder brother?"
Concubine Yu said from behind: "Yes, why do you invite so many imperial doctors to enter the palace together?"
"It's nothing, you don't have to worry." As soon as Hongli finished speaking, Mingyu ran to him, grabbed his sleeve tightly and said, "No, something must be wrong. Your Majesty, what did Song Zihua say to you just now? Yong Cong
