Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Just as he was combing his hair, Maoxiong beside him suddenly spoke.

"Master Wei, does the incubation period you mentioned earlier match this time?"

"Yes, if it's more than ten days, then it just happens to coincide with the incubation period and the onset period!"

Upon hearing Wei Wu's answer, Mao Xiang immediately bowed and said:

"Master Wei, Mao Xiang owes you a favor. I need to go to the palace to see the emperor immediately. I'm afraid Shen Lin will have to go with me."

"It's okay. I have to go to the palace for something, and you can take me in."

"In that case, let's go together!"

After the two men reached an agreement, Mao Xiang led the three of them to the palace together.

However, Mao Xiang and Shen Lin went to Fengxian Hall to find Zhu, while Wei Wu came to Kunning Palace first.

Just like before, Kunning Palace was still surrounded by eunuchs and palace maids.

Most of the palace servants stood outside the gate without moving, and only a few palace maids were carrying mugwort leaves and fumigating everywhere in the palace.

This is the rule in the palace. Once a serious illness occurs, mugwort leaves must be burned to drive away evil spirits and prevent the spread of plague.

Wei Wu's arrival did not attract the attention or obstruction of these palace people.

The eunuchs and palace maids saw clearly the last time Wei Wu entered Kunning Palace alone.

Seeing Wei Wu coming, a eunuch immediately trotted up to him.

"Master Wei, are you here to see the Queen?"

"Well, please trouble me, sir."

"I dare not! Master Wei, please follow me."

The eunuch hurriedly waved his hand, and then took Wei Wu to the gate of Kunning Palace.

Boom boom boom!

"Your Majesty, Young Master Wei requests an audience."

As soon as the eunuch finished speaking, the voice of Queen Ma was heard from inside the room.

"Xiao Wu is here? Let Xiao Wu in!"

Then the palace gate opened, and Queen Ma appeared in front of Wei Wu with a haggard face.

Seeing Queen Ma's current condition, Wei Wu also sighed in his heart.

The saying "Parents' love is the most compassionate thing in the world" applies not only to parents, but also to the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren.

After entering the palace, Wei Wu closed the palace door casually, then turned around and whispered:

"Aunt Ma, even if you have to take care of Xiongying, you can't ignore your own health!"

After hearing Wei Wu's words, Queen Ma's face became even more worried.

"Alas, Xiongying's fever has subsided in the past few days, but every night he suffers from unbearable pain, tossing and turning and unable to fall asleep."

"This child is sensible. He's afraid I'll worry, so he endures the pain without telling me. But the more sensible he is, the more painful it gets to me!"

Smallpox attacks do cause headaches and muscle and joint pains.

Wei Wu didn't expect that Zhu Xiongying, who was only eight years old, could endure the pain.

Just to prevent Queen Ma from worrying.

To be honest, he really admires this little guy.

When he was erect, he was shaking with pain all over, and he would even shout "ouch" every now and then!

Thinking of the past that he couldn't bear to recall, Wei Wu quickly shook his head.

When he looked at Queen Ma again, he found that she was sitting by the bed wiping Zhu Xiongying's cheek.

In fact, seeing Queen Ma's current condition, Wei Wu could roughly guess the cause of her death.

It is certain that Empress Ma was infected with smallpox, but she did not die from it.

Empress Ma was already in her fifties and her health was declining.

The sanitary conditions and nutritional balance of diet in ancient times were also not adequate.

Zhu Xiongying was infected with smallpox, and Empress Ma took care of him day and night, and she had trouble eating or sleeping.

Physical fitness and immunity will naturally decline, coupled with the blow of Zhu Xiongying's death.

It can be said that both psychologically and physiologically, he is extremely weak.

Being infected with the smallpox virus was inevitable, but unlike Zhu Xiongying, Empress Ma withstood it.

However, the long-term weak state and the smallpox virus completely drained her body.
