While Concubine Yu was puzzled by this, Xianyue had already arrived at the inner hall. Song Zihua and other imperial doctors were guarding the door. They all bowed when they saw her coming.
After ordering everyone to stand up, Xianyue asked: "How is Brother Seventh's condition? Has it improved?"
Zhou Minghua stood up and said: "To tell you the truth, Brother Seventh's condition is in the latent and then explosive stage, and there will be no improvement during this period."
Song Zihua took over and said: "The medicine prescribed by Wei Chen and others can only temporarily strengthen Brother Seventh's physique so that he can fight smallpox, but whether he can survive it depends on him. When Wei Chen went in just now,
Seventh Prince has already started to develop a rash."
Xianyue nodded solemnly and said, "Where is the Emperor? Have you gone back?"
"No, the emperor has been with Seventh Brother all night, and just asked Eunuch Xi to get the court uniform." As soon as Song Zihua finished speaking, a cold and stern voice came into everyone's ears, "What are you doing here?"
Xianyue turned around and knelt down and said, "Replying to your Majesty, I am worried about Brother Seventh, so I came here to take a look."
The person who came was none other than Mingyu. She didn't close her eyes all night in the Nuan Pavilion. She only squinted for a while when it was almost dawn. Not long after, she woke up and rushed to see Yong Cong. Unexpectedly, she saw Yong Cong as soon as she arrived at the door.
The person she least wanted to see.
"Don't worry, Concubine Xian. The Emperor and I will take care of you here in Yongcong. Concubine Xian will go back." When others called Xianyue the concubine, Mingyu still called her the concubine, which shows how much she has in her heart.
I don’t want to see Xianyue being named the imperial concubine.
At this time, Concubine Yu also came over and said with a smile: "My Lady, the Imperial Concubine came so early because she was worried about Brother Seventh."
Mingyu said coldly: "I and Yong Cong cannot bear the kindness of the imperial concubine. Besides, if the imperial concubine is infected, I will feel sorry for her, so I still ask you to come back."
Xianyue had long expected that Mingyu would have such an attitude. She didn't say anything and was about to leave. The palace door opened with a creak and a tired-looking Hongli walked out. As soon as Mingyu saw him
, and asked impatiently: "Your Majesty, how is Yong Cong? Is he feeling better? I want to go in and see him."
Hongli ignored her and signaled the palace attendants to pull Mingyu away. He immediately went into the side hall to change out of his clothes and washed his hands before appearing in the public eye again. This was to minimize the risk of
Smallpox infection.
Hongli said to the anxious Mingyu: "Yong Cong is fine, but the imperial doctor said that Yong Cong's condition is in the outbreak stage and he is most susceptible to infection. The queen should not go in."
Mingyu said worriedly: "But I am very worried, I am..."
"I know, but it's very dangerous for you to go in now. It's better to wait until Yong Cong's condition is more stable. Besides, you won't be able to help much if you go in. On the contrary, it will make me worry about one more person."
Mingyu knew that what Hongli said was reasonable, but she still couldn't help but worry. Seeing this, Wei Jingxuan said softly: "Master, if you are really worried, I will stay here with you. In this way, no matter what happens to Brother Seven,
, we can all know as soon as possible."
Mingyu said hesitantly: "Then...is there anyone waiting around Yong Cong?"
"Don't worry, I asked Xiao Wu to find a few people who had been exposed to smallpox to stay inside. They will take good care of Yong Cong. In addition, whenever I am free, I will come to take care of him. He will definitely get better.
Although Hongli was worried that Mingyu would catch the cold outside in such a cold sky, he knew that this was Mingyu's biggest concession.
Concubine Yu said softly: "Your Majesty, I want to go in and see Brother Seventh, I want to see you..."
Hongli waved his hand and said, "If you haven't been vaccinated, don't go in. Smallpox is no joke."
"Yes." Concubine Yu was unwilling to go in, just to please Hongli. When she heard Hongli's refusal, she felt relieved but had a look of helplessness on her face.
Xianyue said: "Your Majesty, I was vaccinated with pox when I was a child and I won't get smallpox again. Can you let me go in and see Brother Seventh?"
Mingyu said in a cold voice: "I have just said that I dare not trouble Concubine Xian."
"Queen." Hongli glanced at Mingyu, then turned to Xianyue and said, "In that case, you can go in and take a look, but you must change your clothes and wash your hands first when you come out."
"I know." Before Xianyue finished speaking, Mingyu said with excitement: "Your Majesty, I know..."
Hongli knew what she was going to say, so he took the first step and said: "Queen, the imperial concubine is also worried about Yong Cong. If there is anything, we can wait until Yong Cong recovers from his illness." Seeing what Hong Li said, Mingyu had no choice but to give up and expressed her displeasure.
Watching Xianyue go in to see Yong Cong.
As soon as Xianyue entered the inner hall, she saw the little Yong Cong lying on the bed, twisting his body constantly. Someone in the palace was holding his hands to prevent him from scratching the rash on his body.
Yong Cong was in pain and itching, but he could not break away from the palace man's hand and could only twist his body continuously. At a young age, he was already suffering unbearable pain for ordinary people.
When Yong Cong saw Xianyue coming out, he blinked his eyes and shed tears, crying: "Auntie, I feel bad!"
Overnight, many dark red rashes appeared on Yong Cong's face, and presumably there were many areas covered by clothes. Xianyue sat down on the edge of the bed and signaled the palace maid to step back, while she held Yong Cong's small hand in her hand.
The little one held up his hands and said: "Auntie, I know you feel uncomfortable, but you can't scratch it. If you scratch it, it will only make you feel more uncomfortable."
Yong Cong cried and complained about itchiness. He was fine last night, but since midnight, he has been itching all over his body. Even taking medicine has no effect. If Hongli and the palace attendants hadn't taken turns holding his hand, his skin would have been scratched long ago.
Broken.
Xianyue couldn't bear to see it, and said: "In this case, my aunt will help you rub it, so that it won't be so itchy, but you have to promise my aunt not to scratch it, you know?"
Yong Cong understood her words and nodded in agreement. After Xia Yue let go of his hand, his two little hands did not grab it, and allowed Xia Yue to rub it gently for him. Although it could not completely relieve the itch, it could at least make him feel better.
After a while, Xianyue saw that Yong Cong's skin was turning red, and knew that she could not continue to rub it. She stopped and said, "Okay, don't rub it anymore, otherwise it will break the skin."
As soon as Xianyue's hand stopped, the strange itch struck Yongcong again. He immediately reached out to grab it, but his hand was already grabbed by the palace attendant, and he could only look at Xianyue with tears in his eyes.
Xianyue sighed and said: "You can only get through the smallpox on your own. Auntie can't help you much. Yong Cong, you are a boy, you have to be stronger, you know?" After saying this, Xianyue was just doing it.
About to get up and leave, out of the corner of his eye he suddenly saw Yong
There was a purple mark on Cong's wrist. Surprised, he pulled up Yong Cong's clothes and found that there was indeed a purple mark, and there was more than one. He immediately yelled at the palace people: "What's wrong with you? You grabbed it so hard.
Did you know that you hurt the seventh elder brother?"
