Two days passed in a blink of an eye. Zhuang Zheng came to Yiyi Xuan with a tired look on his face and told Wei Jingxuan that everything was ready and he could take action at any time. After Wei Jingxuan nodded, he said: "My lord, please remind the palace people around you.
, tell them not to drink the water from the well during this period.”
Wei Jingxuan shook her head and said: "No need. If everyone else is in trouble but I am the only one here, they will be suspected. With you here, their lives will not be affected. At most, they will only suffer some pain." At this point.
, she added: "As for Xiao Yuanzi, I will tell him to shut up."
Zhuang Zheng lowered his eyes and said, "Yes, I will take action when I get back, but there is nothing I can do about it at the Yanxi Palace. Please forgive me."
Wei Jingxuan nodded and said: "I know, just do your own thing, Yanxi Palace... I will find a way."
Even so, she thought hard for two days but never came up with any good solution. In the afternoon of that day, Xiao Yuanzi came in and said: "Master, Dr. Zhuang has done everything, but Dr. Zhuang also said that he did not dare to
There will definitely be an epidemic."
"I know." With that said, Wei Jingxuan took off the gold bracelet in her hand and said, "You did a good job this time. I reward you with this bracelet. Take it."
Xiao Yuanzi quickly bowed and said: "Working for the master is the duty of a slave. How dare a slave be rewarded by the master?"
His answer made Wei Jingxuan very satisfied, "If you have merit, you will be rewarded, and if you make mistakes, you will be punished. Take it and do good things in the future. Your benefits will be indispensable."
This time, Xiao Yuanzi no longer refused, "Thank you, Master, for the reward." After putting away the bracelet, he tentatively said, "Master, what should I do with my father-in-law?"
Wei Jingxuan sneered and said, "What are you afraid of? As soon as the epidemic breaks out, Yu Liu's life and death will not be determined by Dr. Zhuang's thoughts."
When Xiao Yuanzi heard this, he quickly flattered him and said, "Master is absolutely right. Now we just have to sit back and wait for things to happen."
That night, all the palace residents suddenly developed symptoms of diarrhea and fever. The most severe symptoms were in Chonghua Palace. By the next day, more than half of the palace residents fell ill.
Wei Jingxuan heard Xiao Yuanzi's report, her lips curled up slightly, and she said, "Go and take the Western glass bottle from the red sandalwood cabinet and bring back a bottle of well water."
Xiao Yuanzi went to fill the bottle with water as he was told. Wei Jingxuan looked at the clear and flawless water in the bottle and chuckled: "It's really interesting. A few dead mice can have such great power once they rot and are put into the water.
"
"Master, please be careful. Don't come into contact with the water. If you get infected, you will be in trouble." In response to Xiao Yuanzi's reminder, Wei Jingxuan handed the bottle to him, and after he carefully collected it, she said: "Help me
Go to Yanxi Palace."
Xiao Yuanzi's eyelids twitched and he said cautiously: "Master, over there at Yanxi Palace...are you planning to take action?"
"Yes, after you go, I will look for opportunities to let you out. There are also many people in Yanxi Palace who are infected with the epidemic. There should not be as many people guarding the small kitchen as before. You try to mix the water in Yuquan
Landscape, do you understand?"
"I know." Xiao Yuanzi agreed and helped Wei Jingxuan to go to Yanxi Palace. At that time, Huang and Hu were talking to Xianyue about the sudden situation last night in Yanxi Palace.
Huang frowned and said, "This is really strange. Overnight, people in all the palaces and courtyards fell ill, and more than half of the concubines fell ill. I don't know what happened."
Xianyue looked solemn and said: "Suddenly so many people are sick, there must be something strange. I have already ordered people to ask for Dr. Fang, who should be here soon."
Before Dr. Fang waited, Zheng Jiu came to report that Wei Jingxuan wanted to see her. When Huang heard this, she said with disgust: "What is this woman doing here? Ever since Wen Yu's incident, not to mention seeing her, even thinking about her makes me feel extremely sick."
"How vicious must one be to kill one's own daughter?"
Mrs. Hu thought for a moment and said: "This person has always been full of tricks. He may have some other plans when he comes here this time. In my opinion, it would be best for your Majesty not to see her."
Xianyue nodded and said to Jiudao: "Tell Mr. Wei that I am not feeling well and ask her to come back another day."
After Wei Jingxuan heard this from the palace's mouth, she said softly: "The imperial concubine is not feeling well. I shouldn't have disturbed her. However, my palace servants have been harassing Yanxi Palace for many days on Saturday. It is really inconvenient for me."
I want to take him back, so I would like to trouble my father-in-law to pass the message for me again."
Zheng Jiu lowered his eyes and said: "I also want to convey the message to you, but my master has a headache and needs to rest. I really don't dare to disturb you. As for what your master just said, I'd better wait until my master gets better."
"
Xiao Yuanzi stepped forward and said: "I would like to inform you, my father-in-law. It is really inconvenient that the master is missing Yu Liu as a waiter. I would like to ask my father-in-law to be accommodating and to pass on the message again."
"There is really nothing our family can do." After saying that, Zheng Jiu said to Wei Jingxuan: "Please forgive me!"
Wei Jingxuan's eyes flashed and she said kindly: "In that case, I won't force it anymore. I will come back to see the imperial concubine another day."
After leaving Yanxi Palace, Xiao Yuanzi said softly: "Master, the imperial concubine clearly did not see you on purpose. What should I do?"
Wei Jingxuan sneered: "Does she think it will be fine if she doesn't let me enter the Yanxi Palace? Don't forget, there is also Dr. Zhuang, she can't even think of escaping."
Not long after they left, Qi Kuan came with Dr. Fang. After diagnosing the pulse of the infected person, the latter said solemnly: "To the Imperial Concubine, all the infected persons have headaches and diarrhea.
As for the symptoms of fever, some people even suffer from neck swelling. I suspect... I suspect..."
Seeing that he didn't continue talking, Mrs. Huang urged: "What do you suspect? Dr. Fang, please tell me quickly!"
"It is suspected that they have contracted the epidemic." As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked. Xianyue took a breath and said: "How is this possible? There has never been an epidemic in the palace for so many years. How can it happen now?"
...Mr. Fang, have you made a clear diagnosis?"
"If you are not sure, I dare not say this. If the imperial concubine has any doubts, you can call other imperial doctors for joint diagnosis and treatment." As soon as the doctor Fang finished speaking, Xianyue said: "Qi Kuan, call all the imperial doctors here immediately.
, not a single one is missing.”
While waiting for the imperial doctor to come over, Xianyue and others all looked solemn. If it turns out to be an epidemic, the situation may be in trouble.
Not long after, many imperial doctors came to the Yanxi Palace to diagnose and treat the sick people. After each diagnosis and treatment, each imperial doctor frowned, and it was obvious that the situation was not good.
Seeing this, Xianyue's heart sank before she could speak. After calming down, she asked: "How is the situation?"
Zhou Minghua cupped his hands and said, "I would like to report to the Imperial Concubine, and I all suspect that these people are suffering from the epidemic."
Huang said in shock: "It's the same as Dr. Fang said. Is this really the case? If there is no reason, how could the epidemic occur? This... what is going on?"
