The legitimate daughter brings disaster to the concubine! Seize the imperial power and the throne

Within just half an hour, news of the epidemic in the capital had spread.

Mrs. Bo was about to ask someone to close the door, but the servant said, "Madam, everyone in Kyoto is saying that the first person to be infected with the disease was Madam."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Old Mrs. Bo was angry.

"Madam, when the lady returned home, her body had already started to fester, and many people saw it."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Bo felt dizzy and almost fell down. She stood up by holding on to a chair, determined to follow and take a look.

Before I even entered the room, I heard Mrs. Bo shouting at the top of her voice, "Where's the doctor? Send the doctor in quickly."

Old Madam Bo stepped over the threshold with one foot and then took it back. She walked back in a panic, shouting as she walked, "Quick, tell someone to spread quicklime inside and outside the Madam's yard. No one in the Madam's yard is allowed to step out of the door."

When the epidemic broke out, the capital was in panic.

The news even reached the palace.

Concubine Xu was recuperating after a miscarriage. When she heard the news, she frowned and asked, "Is this a mistake? How could there be an epidemic in the capital?"

"Your Highness, everyone knows about this now."

When Concubine Xu heard the words "everyone knows", she pursed her lips, and her frown relaxed. She then asked about the emperor.

"All the civil and military officials have gathered, waiting for the emperor's order."

Concubine Xu raised her lips and said, "I remember that according to the Third Prince's schedule, he should be able to arrive in the capital tonight. How could it be such a coincidence that an epidemic has been reported in the capital at this time?"

"Your Majesty, are you saying that this epidemic was brought here by the Third Prince's people?"

Concubine Xu shook her head, propped her head with one hand, and sneered: "Nine out of ten times, someone deliberately reminded the people outside."

The maid looked bewildered.

She did not explain much, but slowly sat up and waved to her confidant, whispering a few words: "Quickly summon Concubine Ning to the palace."

The third prince is outside the palace, Liu Xiangling is unconscious, and Bo Yan'er just had a miscarriage. The only possibility is that Ning Xianyun did all this to deliberately remind the third prince.

Concubine Xu thought of a possibility, and her palms felt hot: "I was almost fooled by someone, Concubine Ning, you are really good at disguising yourself!"

Almost tricked her.

How could a daughter of a mere sixth-rank official be able to move freely between several major families?

"I was careless." Concubine Xu was annoyed and was deceived by some tricks.

The maid was puzzled: "Your Majesty, do you mean that the Third Prince deceived you?"

Concubine Xu sneered, "Not only me, but all the prominent people in Northern Qi have been deceived. That idiot Liu Xiangling really thought Ning Xianyun was an honest person. The Bo family, the Xu family, and the Liu family have all been fooled by the Third Prince."

This is very similar to that person's method.

The maid was even more confused. Concubine Xu was too lazy to explain. She lifted the quilt and got down to the ground: "Dress me up. I want to meet this legendary empress."

When Concubine Xu's trusted maid found Ning Xianyun, she was already a festering corpse. It was creepy to look at her from a distance.

The maid hurried back to the palace to report the news.

"Is the person dead?" Concubine Xu couldn't believe it.

"I saw it with my own eyes. He died of festering all over his body." The palace maid felt a little panicked. On the way back, she also felt unwell all over. Now she was trying hard to scratch herself.

Unable to bear it any longer, the maid lifted her sleeve to scratch her arm, only to find that a red rash had appeared on her arm.

"Ah!" He was frightened.

Concubine Xu glanced at him, her face changed slightly, and she stood up hurriedly and said to her confidant, "Get out quickly."

"Pass on the Imperial Physician!"

"Yes."

The first person in the palace to be infected with the disease was Concubine Xu's close confidant. Once the news came out, the palace was in an uproar.

The Queen Mother was especially furious when she found out: "Why did she leave the palace for no reason? Quickly seal off Concubine Xu's bedroom and order that maid to be executed and burned."

The whole palace was filled with panic.

The Northern Qi Emperor sat steadily on the high platform and glanced at the dark sky outside: "Does the third brother have any news?"

"In reply to the emperor, the third prince was also unfortunately infected and is being treated in the suburbs thirty miles away," the guard reported.

The Northern Qi Emperor sneered.

Today, just as he let the Jinyiwei stake out the people, an epidemic broke out, the people were in an uproar, the capital was in chaos, and the Jinyiwei were unable to take care of themselves.

No one can tell exactly how many people took the opportunity to leave.

Let’s talk about the Third Prince’s Mansion.

Concubine Bo had a miscarriage, Liu Xiangling was taken back to the Liu family by Madam Liu, and the pregnant Ning Xianyun also died of the disease.

No matter how weird it looks.

The Northern Qi Emperor looked at the imperial physician and asked, "Did you find out?"

He didn't believe it was an epidemic at all.

The imperial physician stepped forward tremblingly: "According to medical records, all the symptoms are very similar to those of the plague, with high fever that won't go away, rashes all over the body, pus flowing out and death, and it is highly contagious."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the civil and military officials showed expressions of horror.

The Northern Qi emperor hesitated for a moment, staring at the imperial physician: "How is it different from the epidemic in Hecheng?"

"In reply to the emperor, this disease is extremely dangerous, and its symptoms are exactly the same as those in Hecheng," said the imperial physician.

At this time, a minister reported: "The Third Prince's mansion has suffered such a disaster. Was it a frame-up? Could it be that the deposed crown prince sent someone to poison him from afar?"

As soon as these words were spoken, many people immediately agreed.

Only the deposed crown prince could hate the imperial court.

The Northern Qi Emperor frowned: "The Crown Prince is not so stupid..."

He fell silent again in the middle of his words. If the prince was not stupid, how could he have killed the imperial envoy and run to the border without being summoned?

Could it be that he is really the deposed crown prince?

"Your Majesty, something bad has happened. The Empress Dowager has a high fever." The young eunuch came crawling over to report the news.
