Soft and crispy waist

The first day of October.

It's the first of January again.

Gu Yizi returned home today, and Tao Yurong's illness has improved a lot. According to the rules, Gu Yizi has to stay overnight in Fanghuayuan today.

Others don’t get a turn on weekdays, and today is even worse, so they simply turn off the lights early.

Xia Zheng followed Ruanruan, turned off the lights and accompanied her to sleep.

Just as I was about to fall asleep, I was awakened by a sudden noise.

He hurriedly patted the girl who was beginning to twist her body, and when he saw that she had fallen asleep again, he tiptoed out of bed, covered herself with a soft pillow, picked up his coat, and opened the door to the inner room.

"Frost Descent! Frost Descent!"

After calling out softly twice, Shuangjiang quickly walked in from outside and asked, "Is the young lady awake? I will take her to find the wet nurse right away."

Xia Zheng waved her hand, "She's not awake yet, what's going on outside?"

"I don't know yet. I heard the sound coming from Fanghua Courtyard. Madam Liang has already gone over to take a look."

Youth Courtyard?

Gu Yizi is staying there today, so nothing can happen to him.

Besides, it’s already this late, it’s time to make some arrangements.

Feeling strange, Xia Zheng didn't go back to sleep and waited outside.

Half an hour later, Nanny Liang came back from outside with a panicked look on her face.

"Mammy, what happened in Fanghua Courtyard? Did anything happen to the prince?" Xia Zheng asked anxiously.

"This..." Nanny Liang hesitated for once, finally thinking for a moment and saying, "When I went there, the prince had already left the main house. I saw the courtyard was in a mess. Most of the people in Fanghua Courtyard had been arrested. The prince also ordered Fanghua Courtyard to be sealed off. No one was allowed to open it without his order, and he even sent attendants to guard it."

Guarded by attendants?

That means even if *** goes there, he can’t open it.

This is about to be completely sealed in by Tao Yurong.

How could this happen so suddenly? Did Tao Yurong do something that touched Gu Yizi's bottom line?

Even though Gu Yizi had no feelings for Tao Yurong, and even though he married her out of necessity, since Tao Yurong was already his legal wife, he would give her the respect of a legal wife.

Even though they have almost reached the point of separation, Gu Yizi will still go to her courtyard on the first and fifteenth day of every month to prevent her from being criticized by others.

Therefore, as long as Tao Yurong does not touch Gu Yizi's bottom line and does not push their relationship to a dead end, Gu Yizi will not be so cruel.

Otherwise, the fact that she had no children for three years would have been enough to warrant a divorce.

So what did Tao Yurong do tonight?

"What about the prince? Is he back at Soseki Residence now?"

Madam Liang shook her head. "The prince left the mansion immediately. He seemed very angry. In all my years at the Duke's Mansion, this is the first time I've seen the prince so angry."

Yes, although Gu Yizi and *** are not that close, he is like *** in many ways, especially the attitude of a superior and the expressionlessness of his emotions, which are almost the same, except that *** is indifferent and contemptuous, while Gu Yizi is compassionate even though he is in a high position.

It’s better not to get involved with such a person who is so angry.

Let’s talk about it when he comes back.

Unexpectedly, Gu Yizi never returned after this trip.

The State of Yue launched a war and captured three cities in ten days. The imperial court was furious and wanted to send a large army to resist the enemy.

The most capable person now is naturally Gu Yizi.

Because Gu Yizi has not been able to return home, Xia Zheng doesn't know how he will arrange the matters in the letter and can only wait.

During this period, Xue Rui still came to the courtyard with Lin Rongrong. Xia Zheng did not expose them and treated her as usual, but she paid more attention to her every move.

During one incident when Chunzhi and Lin Rongrong were quarreling, Xue Rui's clothes were lifted up when she tried to persuade them, revealing the frost-like mark on her lower back.

Frost and Snow would not lie to her, she must have hidden it.

That's why he avoided the physical examination.

Since that day, Xue Rui has been the same as before and has not done anything different.

Even now, when he was sitting next to Xia Zheng, he couldn't see any flaws.

"Oh, little miss, please don't scratch it. I dare not scratch it. It will be troublesome if it gets disfigured."

While Zhenxin was thinking about this, he heard the anxious voice of the nanny from the side room.

Xia Zheng stood up from the rocking chair, and Wei Qingqing and others followed her to look at the side room.

The baby's soft little hands kept scratching her cheeks. When the nanny moved her hands away, she immediately scratched them. After two scratches, she started crying and struggled to get out of the nanny's arms.

"What happened?" Xia Zheng walked forward and reached out to hug Ruanruan.

"I don't know either. The young lady has been scratching her face these past two days. Yesterday she said she would listen, but today she keeps scratching and nothing I can say will stop her."

Xia Zheng held Ruanruan in her arms, and she cried and scratched herself.

I moved her hand away and looked closely. There was a red spot on her cheek, and there seemed to be a small white dot in the middle.

"Did she get bit by some bug?" Wei Qingqing walked over to take a look. When she saw the small white spots on Ruanruan's face, her face suddenly changed and she shouted anxiously, "It's smallpox!"

When they heard about smallpox, everyone's expression changed. Xia Zheng even asked anxiously, "Smallpox? No way?"

"Yes, my cousin died of this. I've seen it. It started as a small white spot like this."

Xia Zheng's legs went weak instantly, but she gritted her teeth to steady herself and immediately ordered, "Except for the wet nurse, all of you get out. Call the palace doctor. Quick!"

Suddenly everyone was busy, and Shuangxue was the first to go and call the court doctor as instructed.

Soon, the fully armed court doctor rushed over, looked at Ruanruan's soft face and neck, stretched out his hand to feel her pulse, and said with a shocked expression: "Report to Surong, the young lady is indeed suffering from smallpox."

After this diagnosis, everyone's faces turned grim. Shuangjiang immediately shouted, "Surong, let the young lady go! Smallpox is contagious. I'll take care of the young lady."

"Stop!" Xia Zheng stopped Shuangjiang and took a deep breath. "Ruanruan has been sleeping with me for the past two days. I've been holding her for a long time now. I've already passed on the message. I'll keep her here. The nanny will be in a separate room. You all should get out and don't come near this room again."

"Solemn expression!"

"Xia Zheng!"

Everyone was about to say something when Xia Zheng shouted, "Shuangxue, seal the door!"

Frost Snow stretched out his hand and drove everyone out, closed the door, and stood in front of it, looking like a lone man blocking the way for ten thousand.

Frost was trying to get in, but Frost Snow grabbed her hand and threw her to the ground without any hesitation.

Frost Jiang cried loudly after falling down, but he was not crying because of the pain, but because of Xia Zheng and Ruan Ruan.

But this also made people understand Xia Zheng's determination. Wei Qingqing snorted, "Why are you crying? Didn't you hear what your Su Rong said? Why don't you do it?"

Shuangjiang wiped away her tears, got up, took the cloth handed to her by the court doctor, covered her mouth and nose, and followed Xia Zheng's instructions to take the wet nurse to another room and lock her up.

Others also covered their mouths and noses and cooperated with the court doctor's arrangements to disinfect the entire courtyard inside and out.

Wei Qingqing and others came to the outside of the courtyard every day to inquire about the situation.

But the situation is getting worse day by day.
