Mingyu hugged her even tighter after hearing this, and choked with sobs: "I don't care, I must be with Yong Cong anyway; I have already lost Yong Lian, I can't... I can't lose Yong Cong again!"
Hongli's nose felt sour and he said: "I promise you that nothing will happen to Yong Cong. Can you please let go of Yong Cong first?"
Xianyue walked up and said: "Mother, I understand how you feel, but holding Brother Seventh like this will not make him get better. Instead, it will delay the imperial doctor's treatment of him. Maybe the person who was originally saved will become unsalvageable."
Saved."
Hongli nodded and said: "Yes, it's exactly what the imperial concubine said. Queen, if you really want to live in good health, you should let the imperial doctor diagnose and treat him." After that, he pretended to be relaxed and said: "It's just smallpox.
It’s not like something will happen for sure. With Yong Cong’s auspicious nature, I believe he can survive this calamity.”
Mingyu didn't want to pay attention to Xianyue, looked at Hongli and said, "Your Majesty, is it true that Yong Cong will be fine?"
"Don't you even believe what I say?" Seeing that Mingyu was shaken, Hongli said slowly: "Come on, put Yong Cong down first. He won't feel comfortable if you hold him like this." At this moment,
Yong Cong cried out in pain, and Mingyu was worried that he had really been hurt, so she carefully laid him flat on the bed, and then Hongli pulled him aside.
While they were talking, Imperial Physician Fang had already considered with Zhou Minghua and others to prescribe three prescriptions, one for Yong Cong and the other two for other people to take and purify themselves.
Xianyue watched the palace attendants take away the prescription and said worriedly: "Your Majesty, there were many people sitting near the Seventh Prince at that time. For safety reasons, I thought I should let everyone in the palace go and enter the palace tonight."
All the princes, ministers, and wives of Fujin have taken the medicine given by Imperial Physician Fang to avoid anything happening."
Hongli nodded and said in a deep voice: "I will ask someone to do it early tomorrow morning. As for the palace..." He called Xiao Wu and said: "Follow them and tell them to get more and try to give them to those who are at home at that time."
Everyone at the banquet should take a bowl and purify themselves, and all the other clothes that can be burned should be burned."
After Xiao Wu went down, Hongli walked up to Dr. Fang and whispered: "How confident are you about Yong Cong's illness?" Before Dr. Fang could speak, he added: "I want to listen to the truth."
Imperial Physician Fang sighed and whispered: "Returning to the emperor, once you get smallpox, the effect of medicine and stone is very small, so... I am only 30% sure."
Hongli originally thought there would be at least half, but he didn't know it was only 30%. Cold sadness filled his heart. He was afraid of being seen by Mingyu, so he didn't dare to show it. He took a deep breath, suppressed the sadness spreading in his chest and said:
"Okay, I understand. Anyway, you must find a way to save Yong Cong. I don't want anything to happen to him."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely do my best." After saying this, Imperial Physician Fang retired and discussed Yong Cong's situation with the other imperial physicians again.
The people in Kunning Palace moved very quickly. After only half an hour, they boiled the medicine and brought it in. Mingyu originally wanted to feed Yong Cong personally, but Hongli insisted not to let it go. He took the medicine and said: "
In this case, I will feed Yong Cong."
Hearing this, Concubine Yu quickly said: "Your Majesty, you are easily infected with smallpox, otherwise..." She gritted her teeth and said, "I'd better let my concubine come."
Her words moved Hongli quite a bit, and he slightly raised his lips and said, "I was vaccinated with pox when I was a child, so I won't be infected." After a pause, he said, "It's very late, you and the imperial concubine are still alive.
Concubine Yi, go back first, don’t forget to take medicine and bathe with potions to purify yourself.”
Concubine Yu quickly said: "I would like to stay here and spend more time with Brother Seventh."
"As long as I'm with you, you all go back." Seeing Hongli's resolute attitude, the girls had no choice but to leave as told. After separating from Concubine Yu, Huang said in a deep voice: "It seems that we guessed right, and the problem did arise.
In the case of Seventh Brother, the person who wants to harm the empress is the Queen, but..." She frowned and did not continue, Xianyue said coldly: "But what?"
Huang said hesitantly: "The queen is the biological mother of the seventh elder brother, and she has always loved the seventh elder brother the most. How could she use smallpox to harm the empress? Other diseases are easy to cure, but smallpox is different. She will kill the seventh elder brother at any time.
You can tell by looking at the faces of Imperial Physician Fang and others."
After waiting for a while, Mrs. Huang didn't see Xianyue speaking, so she couldn't help but ask, "What are you thinking about?"
Xianyue stopped, looked at the stars in the night sky, and said softly: "If I am not mistaken, this incident should have nothing to do with the Queen."
"It has nothing to do with it?" Huang said in surprise: "But didn't Xia Qing come here to remind the queen to be careful? It can be seen that what happened to the seventh elder brother was not an accident."
"Perhaps not by chance, but definitely not the queen; I know her temperament well. She hates me very much, but she also loves Yong Cong very much. Even if it makes their mother and son unhappy because of me, it will not fundamentally affect her.
Regarding the relationship between their mother and son, she will not risk Yong Cong's life. Tiger poison can't eat its children, let alone her. So smallpox..." Xianyue withdrew her gaze and said: "She definitely did not poison the seventh elder brother.
of."
Huang thought about it, just like Yongxun, even though he was not her biological child, she still regarded him as a jewel, not to mention hurting his life, even if it hurt a little finger, she would not bear it.
This is certain, but doubts also arise, "If it's not the queen, who could it be?"
Xianyue smiled coldly and said, "Do you still remember Wei Jingxuan?"
"Of course I remember." After Huang responded casually, her face suddenly changed, and she said in a horrified voice, "Is it possible that the empress suspects that it is her?"
Xianyue did not answer, only said: "Have you noticed Wei Jingxuan's performance just now?"
"Her performance?" Huang thought about it carefully, shook her head and said, "I don't think there is anything wrong."
"There is nothing wrong, but from the beginning to the end, she never touched the seventh elder brother, not even when the queen hugged the seventh elder brother and refused to let go. It was like... she was deliberately avoiding him."
When she said this, Mrs. Huang also thought about it, and then said: "There is nothing strange about this. Smallpox is so scary. Everyone will be afraid and avoid contact with it. Not only Wei Jingxuan, but also Ji You and those nuns. Chen
I can see that they are all afraid of touching Brother Seven."
Xianyue chuckled and said, "That was after it was confirmed that Seventh Brother had smallpox. What about before?"
"This..." While Huang was still thinking about it, A Luo had already said: "I remember, before we knew what kind of disease Seventh Brother had, Wei Jingxuan had already deliberately avoided Seventh Brother, that is,
Said...she knew early on what kind of disease Seventh Prince had."
Huang's eyelids twitched and she blurted out: "So, it was really her doing it?"
