After my mind was read, I became the emperor's favorite

The troops were divided into two groups, and Jun Linyuan implemented vaccination and city-wide control according to the emergency plan given to him by Xiao Che.

Qi Mingze brought everyone and supplies to the East Palace.

With the issuance of the imperial edict, he took full control of all the eunuchs and palace maids in the Eastern Palace and isolated them in their respective rooms.

"Zhou Wen, arrange for doctors to examine the palace maids and eunuchs, and gather those infected with smallpox in the side hall for treatment."

"Yes, sir." The tall and elegant middle-aged man nodded in response.

"Yan Gui, take your men and use alcohol to thoroughly disinfect the entire East Palace."

"I obey your command!" A dignified young man clasped his hands together and answered loudly.

"Meng Zili, search every part of the East Palace. Report anything suspicious immediately."

"Yes, sir." The old man, who was over fifty years old but still in good spirits, bowed solemnly.

"..."

Qi Mingze arranged the personnel in an orderly manner, and a group of "volunteers" wearing masks immediately took action according to the order.

He himself came to the prince's bedroom.

"An Wu, you stay outside the hall." Looking at An Wu who was about to come in, he turned around and gave the order.

"But young master..."

"No buts, this is an order!"

Time was running out, and Qi Mingze rarely showed his strong side, his majesty was no less than that of the emperor who had been in a high position for a long time.

An Wu was the only one among the secret guards who had been vaccinated against cowpox, so it was natural for him to follow instead of An Yi this time.

But he was vaccinated a few days later than Qi Mingze. Although he was no longer seriously ill, Qi Mingze was still worried about letting him come into contact with infected people.

Saving the prince was the most urgent matter at the moment. He had no time to worry about others, so he made the final decision.

"It was my subordinate who overstepped his bounds."

A door separated the two worlds inside and outside the hall. An Wu looked at Qi Mingze's disappearing back, feeling mixed emotions.

"This servant/slave greets Master Qi and asks you to save the prince."

In the dimly lit hall, the prince's maid Jinse and personal eunuch Xiao Xiazi knelt on the ground as if they had seen their backbone, and pleaded in unison.

Ever since the prince was diagnosed with smallpox, those who were not infected relied on the prince's kindness and were unwilling to harm innocent people.

They all shirked their duties of serving, wanting to stay away from the Eastern Palace as much as possible.

In the end, apart from a few people carefully selected by His Majesty who were driven out by the Crown Prince, only the two of them remained with the Crown Prince.

Even they were not driven away only after much pleading, but they also contracted smallpox, and it was unknown how long they could take care of the prince.

Fortunately, Lord Qi came, and they finally waited for someone to save the prince.

Since the prince kept talking about how knowledgeable, powerful and omnipotent Master Qi was... he looked like a real "little fan".

Therefore, his personal palace maids followed him and had a mysterious trust in Qi Mingze.

Once she relaxed her spirit, she could no longer hold on. Jinse, who already had a high fever, swayed unsteadily.

If Xiao Xiazi hadn't helped her, she might have fallen to the ground.

"No need to be so polite, both of you. Go find Zhou Wen first, and I will take care of the Crown Prince.

Smallpox is not incurable, and everyone will be safe."

Qi Mingze handed them two masks and taught them how to put them on.

"Yes." The two of them obeyed and supported each other and staggered away.

Qi Mingze lifted the bed curtain, revealing a small body curled up in the sheets.

The prince's cheeks were flushed, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his mouth opened unconsciously, and streams of hot breath came out of it.

The whole person seemed to be sleeping extremely restlessly, squirming slightly from time to time and making some broken groans.

Maybe he was really uncomfortable, his two little hands unconsciously wanted to scratch, but Qi Mingze grabbed them with his quick eyes and hands.

The prince opened his eyes slightly. The high fever made him a little slow to react.

After confirming for a while, he realized that it was Qi Mingze. His pupils dilated slightly and he smiled faintly.

When I was about to stand up to greet him, I found that my whole body was sore and painful.

As if he suddenly thought of something, he struggled to stay away from Qi Mingze.

"Master Qi, please leave now!"

The prince pushed Qi Mingze away in a hoarse voice, and the short seven words seemed to be roared out with all his strength.

He knew what a terrible thing he had been infected with and that death was inevitable.

He just wanted to leave quietly, without any intention of involving others, nor did he want his beloved Master Qi to be dragged down by him.

"Don't be afraid, Zhu'er. The Master won't be infected. As long as Zhu'er cooperates with the treatment, she will be fine."

Qi Mingze picked up the slightly trembling prince and gently patted his back.

After he calmed down, I gave him a bowl of water.

Out of trust in Qi Mingze, the prince's eyes gradually regained the desire for life.

No one is not afraid of death, and the prince is no exception.

No matter how mature and steady he is, he is still a child under the age of seven.

The prince looked at Qi Mingze's profile with the mask on, and his frightened and hesitant heart gradually calmed down. Two lines of tears involuntarily slid down his cheeks.

Even if he becomes an emperor who rules the world and governs the nine continents in the future, Jun Yizu will never forget it.

When he was waiting for death in despair, Qi Mingze came to him like a god and brought him hope of life.

It was he who took care of him day and night for seven days without taking off his clothes, and finally pulled him out of the underworld.

From then on, no difficulties or hardships could defeat him.

Because he knows that there will always be someone who will hold him tightly and pull him back to the beautiful world when he can no longer bear it.

The system quietly appreciated this heartwarming scene and instantly empathized with its host.

This room

As soon as Qi Mingze and Jun Linyuan left, Taishi Pavilion quickly got into action.

Xiao Wei sent the Wuyi Guards to send Ji Heyan and her mother and two children back to their original cells. The confused people didn't understand why for a long time.

"Mother, you must save our son!" The frightened Wu Xiqian kept shouting like a frightened bird.

It was the fuse that led to the downfall of the Wu family, and it almost caused the Wuyi Guards who participated in the arrest to be beheaded.

He would never get away with it no matter where he was. Even if the Wuyi Guards hadn't tortured him, he would be in big trouble if he were thrown into the Wu family's house.

He had finally escaped the abuse and beatings from his tribesmen, so how could he be willing to go back to where he was?

Moreover, he had heard that all the male members of the Wu family were sentenced to death by beheading, and his mother somehow managed to save him and his brother.

With the actions of the Wuyi Guards, wouldn’t he die with them?

No, he must stay alive, so he begged his mother to keep him.

His attitude infected Wu Shi next to him. The little girl pulled Ji Heyan's sleeve with tears in her eyes, and there was no trace of her previous coquettish and willful look.

The calmest person was Wu Xiyu. He gave his mother a wink and asked the escorting Wuyiwei for information.

The Wuyi Guards had also received instructions and were quickly informed of what happened in the morning.

"Little brother, can I ask to see the current head of Taishi Pavilion?"

Ji Heyan thought about it and decided to give it a try.

The fact that these people were willing to reveal the information made her feel that there might still be a glimmer of hope.

"Wait a minute, I'll go report first."

Sure enough, this is her last chance!
