926 Smallpox Calamity (2 more)
After Eunuch Huang's words finished, the hall was quiet and then it became a stir.
When the emperor first ascended the throne, smallpox was spread in the capital. That time, most of the people in the capital were infected and many people died. Now, when they think about it, all civil and military officials are still scared.
The emperor stood up and strode out, and Eunuch Huang hurriedly followed.
Zhu Zhihong and the six ministers looked at each other, and the few people followed quickly, while the rest of the officials stayed in the hall, and people were in panic.
The emperor walked very fast, and Eunuch Huang trotted to keep up.
Seeing that he was going to the direction where the Fourth Prince was, he anxiously dissuaded, "Your Majesty, you can't go."
The emperor pushed him away and his pace became faster.
Eunuch Huang was pushed and staggered. After standing firm, he trotted and chased after him, kneeling in front of the emperor, "Your Majesty, I beg you, you can't go."
"Get out!"
The emperor kicked him.
Eunuch Huang quickly got up and stood in front of the emperor, "Emperor, smallpox will kill people, you can't go!"
"Get out!"
Eunuch Huang said he would not let go of anything.
Zhu Zhihong and the six ministers of the tribes also knelt down in front of the emperor, and spoke in unison, "Please take care of the dragon body."
The emperor's eyes were red, "That is my only son. I can't watch him have something to do. You all get out of here!"
"Your Majesty, you are the foundation of Daqing Kingdom, you can't have any trouble."
"Yes, the fourth prince has been infected. Now the most important thing is to find out the source of smallpox and cut off the source. Once it is affected by other palaces, the consequences will be unimaginable."
"Your Majesty, please calm down."
"emperor……"
"emperor……"
"Shut up to me, I don't want to listen. You all get out of here, get out of here!"
The emperor shouted at the top of his lungs and kicked Eunuch Huang away again.
Eunuch Huang quickly got up and stood in front of him.
Sun Qi led a pair of imperial guards to come over quickly. When he heard the news that the Fourth Prince had obtained smallpox, his mind was still blank.
"Sun Qi, get them all away."
Sun Qi also knelt down, "Your Majesty, the Fourth Prince must not want you to go there, so please calm down."
The emperor closed his eyes.
"I ordered all the imperial physicians to rush to Feng'er's palace and must save Feng'er's life. If I can't, I will chop their heads."
"Sun Qi, you bring someone to surround the Fourth Prince's residence and do not allow anyone to enter or exit. Those who violate the order will be killed!"
"Huang De, you take someone to check. If you find someone has fever, immediately take someone to the cold palace for isolation."
...
In the fourth prince's uterus, two imperial doctors wrote the prescription in panic.
Today, the only two of them were on duty. A palace servant ran to say that the Fourth Prince had a fever, so they came with the medicine box on their backs. When they saw the Fourth Prince, they felt it was not good at first sight. They carefully diagnosed it and confirmed that it was smallpox. They both felt that the sky had collapsed.
Immediately, someone was asked to close the palace gate and sent someone to report.
The people in the palace were also panic.
"I, I heard from my dad that smallpox will be contagious. Will we be buried alive?"
A thirteen or fourteen-year-old eunuch asked in a trembling voice.
He had just entered the palace and had not earned much money for his family.
The other palace ladies were also trembling in their hearts. They had never had smallpox, but they had heard that smallpox was very contagious. They might have been infected. The fourth prince was treated by the imperial physician, so they could only be buried alive.
"No, don't talk nonsense."
An older palace maid had his teeth trembling, "If we were buried alive, who would serve the fourth prince."
After hearing what he said, the palace people felt a little relieved.
Suddenly a palace maid remembered something and his face changed drastically, "Brother Sixi got a fever two days ago. Will he......'
The palace people who had just calmed down also changed their faces.
Sixi is the person who serves the Fourth Prince. Since the palace banquet, she has been feeling uncomfortable. These days, she has not been serving in front of the hall, and Qianshan Temple has not followed her. She even started a fever two days ago, and the medicine didn't work. They didn't care. After all, palace people like them can't take any good medicine. If there is a fever with a cold, it will take many days to get better.
The palace maid who had just spoken turned around and ran into the house.
If Si Xi is really smallpox, it is what he passed on to His Highness.
"Brother Sixi has been suffering from fever for several days. Is it because he has smallpox?"
Doctor Liu stood up, "Where is he?"
"In his own house."
Doctor Liu took protective measures and followed the palace servants.
Because he was a deli eunuch next to the Fourth Prince, Sixi lived in a house by himself, next to the house where the palace people lived. The house was not big and clean and tidy.
At this moment, Si Xi was lying on the bed, her face turned red, she was already in a coma, and there were a lot of acne on her face.
Without going forward, Doctor Liu knew it was smallpox, so he hurriedly retreated, "Tell others that no one is allowed to get close to this room."
...
Outside the palace gate, Sun Qi and the Imperial Guard surrounded the palace of the Fourth Prince.
A sedan chair came over, but before it was approaching, it was stopped by Sun Qi, "The emperor has an order, no one can get close to this place."
The sedan chair stopped, and the aunt in charge lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, and Concubine Xiao Xian got out of the sedan chair, "Master Sun, I want to go in with my son and open the door."
"Empress..."
Sun Qi took two steps back and bowed slightly, "Please don't make things difficult for subordinates."
Concubine Xiao Xian took a step forward, with a tough tone, "Open the door."
Sun Qi took another step back and Concubine Xiao Xian stepped forward.
There is no way to retreat, Sun Qi gritted his teeth, "Empress, my subordinates are also following orders, please forgive me."
"What if I don't listen?"
"If the Empress insists on going in, her subordinates will have to commit suicide."
"you……"
Sun Qi bent his waist a little longer, "Please be grateful to the queen."
Concubine Xiao Xian turned around and got into a sedan chair.
Seeing the sedan chair go away, Sun Qi breathed a sigh of relief. This happened too suddenly. Before he could make any news, the fourth prince had already been sealed inside, and he could not let Concubine Xiao Xian go in again.
But……
Looking at the direction where the sedan chair was heading, Sun Qi had a bad premonition.
The sedan chair did not return to Kunli Palace, but went to the Yangxin Palace, where the emperor was.
The sedan chair stopped, and Concubine Xiao Xian came down, but she didn't enter the hall. She knelt down in front of the hall, "I beg the emperor to ask me to accompany you."
There was a thorn in the Yangxin Palace, which was the sound of the chair being driven, and then the footsteps sounded, and then the harem door was opened, and the emperor strode out from inside and walked to Concubine Xiao Xian, trying to help her up.
Concubine Xiao Xian knelt down and did not move, "Please ask the emperor to give in."
"Concubine Xian, get up first."
"If the emperor doesn't agree, I won't get up."
If there were any concubines who dared to threaten him like this in the past, the emperor would definitely leave, but now it is different. Concubine Xian is going to accompany Feng Er. The emperor softened his tone, "You also know that smallpox is very contagious, if..."
