The wives of the concubines are empresses

The wife of the Right Prime Minister looked at the scorching sun and felt like she was about to faint from the sun.

The master is really something. He forced her to come out in public to distribute porridge, and even called it letting the emperor see her virtue. It made her so angry.

After all, she is a royal relative and can be considered the emperor's mother-in-law. How can she show herself in public like this?

However, her master had repeatedly warned her, and as a wife and mistress, she couldn't refuse.

"Everyone, be serious. The master has trained you to love your country and the people. You must not let down the emperor's regard for your father."

The Bai family members responded one after another.

"Yes, mother." It was her bastards who responded.

"Yes, mother." Seeing their husbands respond, the daughters-in-law did not dare to challenge their mothers and husbands.

"Yes, grandmother."

……

Many people put on the veils and masks brought by Shi Qingxue as required. In addition, the refugees who had contracted the plague were taken to a separate place for isolation.

"Eunuch Shi, we'd better stay away, so as not to infect the emperor when we go back." A eunuch was very scared, but the emperor's order was hard to disobey, so they could only do it.

Shi Qingxue felt that what he said made sense: "You are right."

Gong Huifang was shocked when she learned that the plague had been discovered.

plague?

I heard that one was fatal.

"Huan'er, do you know where the plague came from?"

Huan'er said based on the information she had gathered: "Hui Xiangjun, I heard that it was discovered by refugees three kilometers outside the city gate."

Gong Huifang calmed down a little after hearing this.

"That's good. I believe someone has already reported it to the Emperor. The Emperor and the court will definitely handle it in a timely manner."

"What the lady said is true. The emperor is really foresighted this time." She also admired the current emperor. Although she was a woman, her mind was so delicate that none of them could imagine.

Gong Huifang agreed: "You are right. I really admire the emperor more and more."

The tasks assigned to the concubines made them blush.

Consort Xian, Lin Gongyu, was somewhat puzzled: "Your Majesty, can this plague be related to love affairs?"

This is too weird.

Shangguan Wanjun snorted coldly: "Believe it or not, this move of mine was just a precaution."

Looking at the blushes on the concubines' faces and red ears, Shangguan Wanjun couldn't help laughing.

Wenpin Li Youwen was deeply suspicious when she saw it.

"Your Majesty, you are not making excuses for yourself and don't want to favor us." The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was true. The emperor was so hateful that he could come up with such a dirty trick.

Shu Fei - Gao Zihao, Mei Fei - Hu Siyang, Hui Fei - Feng Jinghan and others looked at Shangguan Wanjun suspiciously. She felt uncomfortable being stared at.

"Princess Wen, what nonsense are you talking about? I'm just trying to prevent people from getting infected by the love between men and women. Your brain is filled with water every day."

Yunpin-Zhao Yunfan complained: "It might be paste."

Shangguan Wanjun couldn't help but burst out laughing. Realizing that she had lost her composure, she quickly pretended to be calm and looked at the other imperial husbands.

Li Youwen, the concubine of Wen, was furious: "You are so good, Concubine Yun, Your Majesty, you also bully your minister."

Shangguan Wanjun refused to admit it: "Nonsense, what I said was the truth."

Concubine Wen, Li Youwen, pouted, and Concubine Xian, Lord Lin, echoed Shangguan Wanjun's words.

"Yes."

Li Youwen, the concubine of Wen, was so angry that she was fuming: "Xianfei, my lord, we are both the same."

The virtuous concubine, Lin Gongyu, retorted: "Who is the same as you?"

He turned his head away proudly, like a proud peacock, somewhat naive and cute.

Concubine Wen, Bai Xuanyi, thought the two were simply unbearable to watch, and their quarreling was outrageous. Concubine Hua, Tang Yihua, watched and listened silently without saying a word.

Among the other side kings, some gloated over the misfortune, while others kept aloof from the matter.

Seeing that the two of them were about to bicker, Concubine Wen - Bai Xuanyi frowned, with a hint of anger on her face.

"Stop arguing. The emperor is talking to everyone about serious matters. Please behave properly."

Shangguan Wanjun had no objection to this. Concubine Wen - Bai Xuanyi was in charge of the harem and had the right to manage them.

"Everyone, go back and spread the word. Anyone feeling unwell should have the provincial doctor examine them immediately. Anyone with a high fever or severe cough must be isolated immediately and disinfected with mugwort water."

The other side officials bowed and said, "Your servants obey your orders. Your servants will take their leave."

Shangguan Wanjun waved her hand, and was stunned when she saw Concubine Wen - Bai Xuanyi was still standing there.

"My dear, is there anything else?"

Concubine Wen - Bai Xuanyi looked straight at Shangguan Wanjun with a pair of clear eyes, and he also had some doubts about what the emperor said in his heart.

Seeing his eyes, Shangguan Wanjun had some thoughts in her mind.

"You also doubt what I said?"

Concubine Wen - Bai Xuanyi didn't want to doubt it, but she also felt that what the emperor said was ridiculous.

Shangguan Wanjun sighed helplessly and explained, "It's not just a matter of love between men and women. The main thing is this... Too much close contact is not good. The possibility of infection is greater."

She said it so tactfully, I think you should understand.

Concubine Wen - Bai Xuanyi nodded, not quite understanding, but there were always people who did not abide by the rules and requirements, and many of them went out to see their lovers, mistresses, etc. Due to the excessive close contact, the plague quickly spread to the inner city of Linjing City.

Shangguan Wanjun was shocked: "Inner city?"

Liu Cheng's expression was extremely unnatural as he said, "It was discovered in a house."

Shangguan Wanjun and Aunt Cheng looked at each other, feeling that something was wrong.

Aunt Cheng said, "Eunuch Liu, please don't wear out the Emperor's patience."

Liu Cheng knelt down and explained everything even though it was difficult to speak.

"A certain lord's legitimate son had a beautiful mistress outside the palace. They were having an affair, and eventually the legitimate son contracted the plague. I heard he was coughing badly today."

Shangguan Wanjun was furious: "He's a pig in heat. He'll die if he doesn't touch a woman for a while. And now, at this critical moment, he's causing trouble for me. Go, summon this gentleman to the palace. I want to ask him how he disciplines his children and controls the people in his mansion."

She was so angry. Despite all the precautions, he still brought the plague to the inner city. This guy deserves to die.

Six quarters of an hour later, an adult in official uniform walked into the main hall in panic.

Hearing the noise, Shangguan Wanjun looked up and threw a memorial over.

"You turned a deaf ear to my words, huh?" Facing the furious emperor, he knelt down and apologized.

"I deserve to die a thousand times. Please forgive me, Your Majesty." He didn't know that his eldest son had committed such a big mistake, and he might even lose his official hat.

Shangguan Wanjun angrily said, "You should apologize. I sent people on every possible precaution, but I couldn't stop your rebellious son. What's the matter? Will he die if he doesn't touch a woman for ten days or half a month?"

Faced with the empress's wrath, he kowtowed repeatedly to apologize.

"Your Majesty, I did give instructions to your Madam."

"Hmph." Shangguan Wanjun flicked her sleeves in anger.

"I'm telling you, you'll be demoted one level today. If one person dies because of this, you'll be demoted one level. Don't blame me for being cruel, blame your big son if you want to. I'd like to see how many levels you can be demoted to. Just wish me the best."

Looking at the furious emperor, no one dared to step forward and challenge him. Even Minglan, who got along well with the emperor, kept her head down respectfully.

Liu Cheng's face turned ugly again. Looking at the furious emperor, he swallowed unconsciously.
