The emperor left, and the people who stayed behind looked at each other in confusion. The queen waved her hand and said, "Let's all disperse."
In Cining Palace, the Queen Mother looked ugly after receiving the news, wondering if the emperor had taken the wrong medicine, otherwise why would he have such crazy thoughts.
Although intermarriage between cousins has been normal since ancient times, she did not want Fu Jingchao to marry the princess at all.
When Fu Jingchao came back, his face was quite calm.
The Queen Mother couldn't help but ask, "What are you going to do?"
Fu Jingchao said nonchalantly, "It's his business to give the decree, and it's my business not to marry him."
The Queen Mother thought for a long time and sighed, "It's not good to openly resist the decree."
Fu Jingchao said confidently, "Can you delay the time of issuing the imperial edict?"
He needs a few days to relax and do what needs to be done.
"It's a bit difficult." The Queen Mother said hesitantly, "The Ai family will do their best."
That night Princess Hanguang's mother-in-law, Concubine Ning, had a secret talk with Princess Hanguang in person for an hour.
The next day, Princess Hanguang began to have a fever, vomiting and headache. In the afternoon, pimples began to appear on her face and body.
The entire Liuyun Palace palace began to panic. Princess Hanguang's symptoms were very much like smallpox.
Smallpox can be fatal when it occurs. Soon the news spread throughout the Sixth Palace, alarming the Queen.
Several imperial doctors took turns to examine Princess Hanguang, and finally concluded that it was indeed smallpox.
The queen immediately sealed off the Liuguang Palace and went to see the emperor in person.
When the queen arrived, the emperor had just finished handling political affairs with his ministers, and the marriage decree had been written.
The emperor asked the queen to stand up in a good mood, "Come and see how my imperial edict is written?"
The queen took it and looked at it for a few times, "Your Majesty's writing is naturally excellent, but I'm afraid this imperial edict cannot be announced for the time being."
The emperor's eyes instantly became dangerous.
The queen said word by word, "The imperial doctor at Hanguang said it might be smallpox. I have sealed off the Liuguang Palace. Everyone in the palace needs to be careful next time."
It would be troublesome if there was a large-scale smallpox infection.
The emperor threw the imperial edict on the table with a slap, "The timing of getting sick is really a coincidence."
The Queen gently advised, "Hanguang himself definitely doesn't want to do it. Smallpox can lead to disfigurement at best, and death at worst."
"The most important thing now is how to deal with this matter. If anyone else in the palace is infected, things will be in trouble."
The emperor took a look at the imperial edict and felt a little regretful. He should have passed on the imperial edict last night.
Now that Princess Hanguang is infected with smallpox, he seems to be very ruthless as the emperor by granting her a marriage.
Forcibly giving his sick daughter to his nephew, he didn't need to think about what the people below would think of him.
The emperor snorted coldly, "Treat her well."
The situation was not optimistic. Princess Hanguang began to have acne all over her body. Even two palace attendants in the Liuguang Palace where she lived also had acne.
He could not let things continue, and the emperor was afraid that more people in the palace would be infected.
An order was quickly issued to send Princess Hanguang to the Imperial Mansion outside the palace for treatment.
Concubine Ning begged the queen to follow her and take care of her personally.
As soon as the people left, a general cleaning began in the palace, and all the clothes and bedding in Hanguang Hall were burned.
Just in case, the emperor rarely set foot in the harem these days.
Moreover, he himself was coughing, feeling hot and uncomfortable. Although he didn't have acne, he was still afraid.
The imperial doctors took turns taking pulses three times every day and announced a three-day break.
The news of such a big movement spread quickly, and everyone in the capital was in danger.
Only Fu Jingchao was unbelievably quiet. To be precise, he was nowhere to be seen.
Qingsi said while checking the account book, "It's different when the Queen Mother takes action."
Hong Ling asked with some fear, "Is it really smallpox?"
Qingsi smiled mysteriously, "Don't worry, the Queen Mother is sensible."
Those who can get to this position are the real old foxes.
Fu Jingchao was busy dealing with Zhennan Palace's properties in Shengjing and summoned many people.
Xiao Han and Sui Feng were in the coveted warehouse of Zhennan Palace, watching their men move things.
In the warehouse with many mechanisms, there is a tunnel that leads directly to a secret exit.
This warehouse is the accumulation of several generations of Zhennan Palace, and it does contain many valuable and extraordinary things.
Fu Jingchao came back from this adventure partly for the things inside and partly for the power of Shengjing.
He must make arrangements for both, and cannot give others an advantage.
Xiao Han said with some reluctance, "I'm leaving this time. I don't know when I will come back."
From the moment Fu Jingchao ordered the moving of things, Xiao Han knew that there was really no turning back this time.
If everything is emptied, this famous palace will not have much value.
Suifeng shrugged and said, "It's okay to leave. The prince has been imprisoned by this identity for so many years and suffered so many hardships. It's okay to break free."
And Fu Jingchao is at Xie's house now.
The person who received him was Mr. Xie, who had just arrived in Beijing a few days ago.
The Shen family retreated, and Mr. Xie came in person. Someone must keep an eye on the situation in Shengjing.
If you are far away, many messages will be delayed.
Mr. Xie looked like an immortal, "Why are you here, Your Majesty?"
Fu Jingchao said in a cold tone, "At this point, it's time to tell me the true direction of some things."
Mr. Xie held a chess piece in his hand, "What does the prince want to know?"
Fu Jingchao's heart turned over and over again, and finally he made up his mind and asked, "Who is my brother Fu Siye?"
Mr. Xie put down the sunspot in his hand and looked at him sharply, "Are you ready to accept it?"
"No matter who he is, I just know that he will always be my brother."
"King Zhennan has treated you very well."
Mr. Xie dropped a chess piece, and the whole chess game became mysterious.
"Actually, after all, he and you are still related by blood."
Fu Jingchao spoke slowly, "He is from the royal family."
Mr. Xie touched his beard and said, "The posthumous son of the former prince. If the prince had not died, you should be cousins."
At that time, Fu Jingchao's mother, Princess Lin'an, had always had a good relationship with the prince.
Fu Jingchao didn't speak for a long time, and Mr. Xie just looked at him gently.
Anyone who knows this will need some time to digest it.
Fu Jingchao raised his head, his slightly cold eyes filled with a smile, "No matter how you calculate it, he is my brother. We are born to be brothers."
Mr. Xie was first surprised by his reaction, and then smiled happily, "It seems that handing him over to your father was the right choice."
Fu Jingchao said firmly, "Since I was a child, he has always been protecting me."
So he can get into trouble at will, be unscrupulous, and be the most arrogant and domineering prince.
Because there are people, he has the most powerful and best brother, who has always protected him very well.
But from this moment on, Fu Jingchao knew that it would be him who would protect his brother.
He has to become stronger in order to protect the people he wants to protect.
