When the sword was in her hand, she slashed at Sheng Tianxue's left wrist without hesitation.

"Ah!" The shrill screams instantly resounded throughout the inn.

Lin Yiwan threw the blood-stained ring in front of her, turned around and left quickly.

Sheng Tianzhu looked at her back, with a dark look in his eyes.

She quickly ordered people to treat Sheng Tianxue's injuries and called envoys to discuss the alliance between the two countries.

Lin Yiwan will also inform Emperor Sheng An of the results of the discussion with Sheng Tianzhu so that he can have an idea.

When she returned to Prince Li's Mansion, she received an urgent letter from Zhan Yan, saying that the barbarians were making unusual movements and she would have to stay at the border for a while before returning to the capital.

She sighed helplessly. It seemed that she would have to stay alone in the empty room for some time.

It's also quite lonely!

Fortunately, she was very busy during the day and didn't have any extra time to think about Zhan Yan.

Unexpectedly, just as she fell asleep at night, Ling'er knocked on the door outside.

She said anxiously, "Madam, the princess sent someone with news that the young master suddenly broke out in a rash. Please go over and take a look!"

Lin Yiwan did not dare to delay and immediately got up and went there.

As soon as I arrived at the young master's Zhuqing Courtyard, I could hear his sharp cry clearly.

Lin Yiwan hurried in and saw Lin Su holding the little prince, whose face was flushed, and patting him gently.

When she saw Lin Yiwan, she said anxiously, as if she had seen a savior, "Wanwan, you're here! Go check on your brother! He's crying so hard, and I don't know why he has all these rashes all over his body!"

Lin Yiwan looked carefully and her heart sank to the bottom.

This rash looks a lot like smallpox!

How could my healthy brother get this disease?

She spoke quickly, "Bring all the clothes he's worn here. Anyone who has come into contact with the young master is not allowed to leave Zhuqing Courtyard again. Do you understand?"

Prince Li immediately understood what was going on. He asked in a serious tone, "Wanwan, Xiaobao's illness is very serious, right?"

Lin Yiwan nodded. As a doctor, she knew better than anyone that this disease was not an accident, but man-made.

There must have been some cloth infected with smallpox brought into the house, which caused my brother to be infected.

But now is not the time to pursue this, but we must cure him quickly, otherwise, the entire Li Wang Mansion will fall into dire straits again.

Fortunately, she had developed a special medicine for this acute illness before, otherwise, her brother would have suffered a lot.

She quickly crushed the pill and poured it down Xiaobao's throat with a small spoon.

After he finished drinking it all, Lin Yiwan took out another bag of pills and handed it to Prince Li: "Father, go give each of the maids and nannies one pill to prevent the disease from recurring!"

King Li believed in her medical skills and without asking any questions, he immediately turned around and did it.

Lin Su cautiously asked Lin Yiwan, "Wanwan, do these pills really work? Will Xiaobao get better soon?"

She replied softly, "Well, fortunately he was treated in time, so he won't suffer too much!"

Lin Su's tears, which she had been suppressing, finally fell slowly. She sobbed tremblingly, "Wanwan, thanks to you. Otherwise, mother wouldn't know what to do!"

Lin Yiwan knew that her mother always felt too guilty towards her, so she never dared to care too much about her younger brother.

I’m afraid she will be sad!

But after all, it was the child she carried for ten months, and was born under the careful care of Prince Li. How could she really not care?

In fact, her heart had been fried in oil ever since she saw the little guy's skin covered with rashes!

Fortunately, he no longer feels uncomfortable now, but the red rash that has not yet faded all over his body looks particularly scary.

Lin Yiwan took a handkerchief and wiped away Lin Su's tears. She asked in a serious tone, "Mother, when did Xiaobao start crying?"

Lin Su thought carefully for a moment and replied, "It was after I took a shower. I was wondering if I had caught a cold. I felt really bad about it!"

When Lin Yiwan was taken to Xiaobao's bathing room, she found that everything had been tidied up, even the bathtub had been cleaned.

She was silent for a moment, then ordered in a serious tone, "Take them all out and burn them to prevent any further trouble!"

Zi'er asked worriedly, "Madam Hou, what on earth made the young master sick? Aren't we going to investigate?"

Lin Yiwan sneered, "At this point, all traces have been completely erased. Where do we even begin the investigation? The next step is the most important. Just wait, within half a day, rumors will be flying all over the place that the young master of the Prince's Mansion has contracted smallpox!"

Zi'er's face changed drastically. If such a rumor really spread, wouldn't the Li Palace become the target of public criticism?

Smallpox is a serious disease. Once it spreads, it can kill all the people in a city.

She asked anxiously, "Madam Hou, is the disease the young master has really smallpox?"

Lin Yiwan turned to look at her: "Are you scared?"

Zi'er suddenly clenched her fists, knelt on the ground with a plop and said, "I'm not afraid. I'm only worried that leaving Prince Li's Mansion will arouse the wrath of the people. When that happens, they will definitely ask the Emperor to order us to be punished!"

Lin Yiwan reached out and pulled her up. "Of course, the other party had the same wishful thinking. Unfortunately, I'm not that easy to bully. If anyone dares to come to the gate of the Prince Li's mansion and cause trouble, I'll definitely peel off a layer of skin from them!"

She ordered her people to stay indoors and not go out. Within half a day, rumors started spreading in the capital under the instigation of some people with ulterior motives.

It was said that the young master of the palace had contracted smallpox and was in critical condition.

When the important officials in the court heard this, their expressions changed drastically.

It would be disastrous if we were to get infected with the disease. If we allowed it to spread, the lives of everyone in the capital would be in danger.

They didn't dare to go directly to the palace to ask Emperor Sheng'an for an explanation, so they all went to Prime Minister Meng.

An old censor said with a grim expression: "Prime Minister, don't forget your responsibilities. You are the prime minister of the people and the emperor, not the prime minister of the palace. Even if you have a good relationship, you must put the overall situation first!"

Prime Minister Meng interrupted with a sullen face: "Liu Yushi, why are you laying all this groundwork? If you have something to say, say it now. If you have something to say, fart now!"

Censor Liu's eyes widened with anger: "You, you are a prime minister, how can you speak so rudely?"

Meng Xiang immediately laughed in anger: "What? You said farting is rude? Don't you, Liu Yushi, fart? Then are you still human?"

Censor Liu almost rolled his eyes in anger at his words. He trembled and accused, "Prime Minister Meng, what's your attitude? I'm doing this for the people of the capital. In your eyes, are their lives worthless?"

Meng Xiang frowned and said, "Don't try to pin the blame on me. If you really want to speak up for justice, why don't you go to the Emperor and report this yourself? Why are you bringing all these people to me?"

A trace of embarrassment suddenly crossed Censor Liu's face. He didn't want to be the first to take action.

After all, that was Prince Li. If this was true, it would be fine. But if it was just a misunderstanding, wouldn't he be retaliated against?
