Chapter 163: Source of Infection

Jiang Dehai secretly came to the Princess's Mansion with the bad news.

The person in charge of the Princess's Mansion is Qiuzhe now, and the news that Xiaoyu was infected with the epidemic was told to Qiuzhe as soon as possible.

"What? Your Highness was fine last night. Did the doctors misdiagnose him?"

"Your Highness has always been in good health. I also check your pulse and examine you regularly. It is impossible for you to suddenly get infected for no apparent reason."

Qiu Shui sat in the middle, Jiang Dehai and Qiu Zhe were alone in the room, and all the servants left, including Jin Bao.

"Several doctors have said it's an epidemic. Your Highness has been isolated in the Emperor's palace. It can't be wrong."

"From the look of your Highness's complexion, I can tell that he is truly ill. I am worried about him."

"Fortunately, there is also Chun Shijun serving Your Highness in the palace, so you can rest assured."

"But I think there must be a source of infection in the mansion, so His Highness was suddenly infected."

"We are here today to conduct a search."

"The source of infection must be found out, otherwise there will be endless troubles."

Jiang Dehai sighed and said, he was quite respectful to Qiuzhe. Logically, he didn't need to be so polite to Qiuzhe.

But he respected His Highness, so he was willing to be more courteous to those around His Highness.

Qiu Zhe still held the scroll in his hand. He knew that this was a serious matter, so he did not say much to Jiang Dehai. He followed Jiang Dehai to investigate the entire mansion.

Xue Lan was also surprised when he heard the news. Although His Highness had not visited him for a long time, he was always grateful for His Highness' kindness.

"Mr. Qiu, I will also help to investigate."

Xue Lan stood at the gate of her Lancang Garden and said worriedly.

"No need. Now everyone should guard their own yards and don't go out easily before the source of the infection is found."

"Later, people from my courtyard will deliver mugwort and disinfectant to each courtyard. Don't let your guard down and remember to disinfect every day."

"Now if I manage my own courtyard well, I will be doing a great favor to His Highness."

"You don't have to panic."

Qiuzhe patted Xue Lan on the shoulder and gave instructions.

After the interrogation, Jiang Dehai followed Qiuzhe to the next yard.

After going back and forth a few times, all the yards were checked.

His Highness's courtyard is of paramount importance, and Cuizhi and Cuiling also followed Qiuzhe to investigate.

Xiao Yun'er was in the west wing of Xiaoyu's courtyard. She heard the noise outside and asked the maidservant beside her,

"What happened outside?"

The little girl said she wasn't quite sure, and then she went out to ask, and only then did she find out what was going on.

She quickly ran into the house and said to Xiao Yun'er:

"My Lord, Her Highness has been infected with the epidemic and is being isolated and treated in the palace."

"We are currently investigating the source of the infection at home."

Seeing the worried look on the little girl's face, Xiao Yun'er also started to worry.

Her heart was in a panic for a moment, and she wanted to get up anxiously.

But she was stunned. Why did His Highness suddenly get infected?

His Highness has always been in good health, and Qiuzhe has been checking his pulse regularly, so it shouldn't be that he would be easily infected.

Besides, there was no news of infection in the imperial city or nearby areas.

She frowned and began to feel a chill in her heart.

Her lips trembled, and she quickly asked the little girl to check her room, and then went to report to Qiu Zhe.

She sat on the bed, clenching her fists, and had a bad feeling in her heart.

She had a hunch that this was definitely not a coincidence and was most likely the work of his brother.

Hu Che's purpose was obvious. He certainly wanted to take the opportunity to infect His Highness and the Emperor and cause them to die.

This epidemic must be very tricky. If Hu Che dares to do it, he must be prepared to kill the enemy with one blow.

This is what it means to kill yourself.

Xiao Yun'er began to panic. The more she thought about it, the more scared she became. Her back was already completely soaked with cold sweat.

"Hurry! Help me up!"

Xiao Yun'er quickly stood up and asked the little girl to help her get into the wheelchair.

She quickly turned her wheelchair and went out, rushing towards Qiuzhe without stopping.

Qiuzhe checked Xiaoyu's yard and found that everything was normal there.

This is very strange. Every courtyard in the mansion has been checked, but the source of the infection has not been found.

So how did the infection occur?

When Qiu Zhe was puzzled, he saw Xiao Yun'er moving towards him quickly in a wheelchair.

"Princess, what's wrong?"

Qiuzhe quickly stepped forward and asked.

"How is your highness? Are you all right?"

Xiao Yun'er's eyes turned red as she asked anxiously.

Seeing this, Jiang Dehai also hurried over. After hearing Xiao Yuner's question, he quickly said calmly:

"My Lord, please don't worry."

"All the doctors in the Imperial Hospital have begun looking for a prescription to treat your Highness. Your Highness is blessed by heaven and will be safe and sound."

Xiao Yun'er wasn't going to listen at all. She covered her head and screamed, then quickly grabbed Qiu Zhe by the collar.

"Qiuzhe! Have you checked the warehouse? Have you checked it?"

"Check if someone drugged the gift."

Qiu Zhe looked at Xiao Yun'er's out-of-control appearance and knew in his heart that she was too worried about His Highness.

"Princess, don't worry. I will go to the palace in person to guard Your Highness and find a way to save Your Highness."

Seeing that he didn't answer her, Xiao Yun'er became even more anxious.

She now feels that there is a 99% chance that it was Hu Che's doing.

It is very easy to spread the source of pollution. He only needs to touch the gifts to achieve his goal.

So Xiao Yun'er was really anxious. She was talking to Qiu Zhe about the city gate tower, and Qiu Zhe was asking her about the hip axis.

"Warehouse, have you checked the warehouse? Could it be that someone tampered with the gift?"

Qiuzhe said quickly:

"No, all the gifts delivered to the mansion have been inspected by me, and can only be put into storage after inspection."

"There must be no problem with the warehouse."

Only after Qiu Zhe finished speaking did Xiao Yun'er loosen her grip on his collar.

"But we have checked every corner of the mansion. Could it be that the source of the infection is not in the mansion?"

Jiang Dehai stamped his feet anxiously, and Cuizhi beside him was already crying.

"Eunuch Jiang! Concubine Qiu! Please take me to the palace! I am not afraid of death. I will go and guard His Highness."

Cuizhi burst into tears and begged while grabbing Jiang Dehai's clothes.

If anything happens to His Highness, she would not want to live anymore.

Qiuzhe was overwhelmed by the noise. He looked at the chaos in the whole house and he knew he couldn't mess around.

After calming people down, he finally had time to sit down and think carefully.

Xiao Yun'er's words just now gave him some clues.

Because of the flower-viewing banquet in the past two days, the mansion received a lot of gifts, but they had indeed all been checked.

But it seems that there is only one thing that has not passed through my hands.

That was the apology gift Hu Che gave to Your Highness last night.

The things in that box were directly opened and inspected by His Highness before being put into storage.

Qiuzhe was shocked and immediately jumped up from his chair when he remembered this negligence.

"Quick! Let Eunuch Jiang come back!"

Qiuzhe put on a cloak, deerskin gloves and a disinfected face towel, and hurried to the warehouse.

Jiang Dehai, who had just walked out of the house, immediately turned back.

Looking at the door of the warehouse, Qiu Zhe hurriedly took out gloves and disinfected face towels and gave them to Eunuch Jiang.

"It is better to be careful. His Highness is in danger now. We cannot fall down."

Jiang Dehai nodded after hearing this and quickly took it and put it on.

Looking at the tightly closed warehouse doors, Qiu Zhe felt extremely heavy.
