Poisonous Peasant 'Concubine'

The news of the seventh prince's serious illness quickly spread throughout the harem. Hearing that Xiao Qi, who was about to become the crown prince, was seriously ill, Yan Shengzhi rushed over from Fu'an Palace in person. Under the leadership of Concubine Bai, all the concubines who were of some importance arrived. Although the seventh prince does not occupy the position of the eldest son, he is the only son of the imperial concubine. In addition to the emperor's exclusive favor for the empress, his life and death are related to the future of too many people.

"Why hasn't Princess Sheng come yet? Zhang Dezi will go to remind you."

In the main hall of Fuqing Palace, Yan Shengzhi, who had already visited Yan Xiaoming, was kicked out by Chu Yunhan, focusing on the dragon body. Seeing the time passing by, and the imperial doctors had arrived before Ling Jingxuan arrived, Yan Shengzhi couldn't help showing a little anxiety Concubine Bai and the others sitting at the bottom were all secretly shocked. This was the first time that the emperor showed his concern for the seventh prince. Could it be that he had already made a decision in his heart?

"Prince Sheng, Princess Cheng is here!"

Just as Zhang Dezi was about to take the order to leave, the eunuch's high-pitched voice suddenly rang out. Yan Shengrui in casual clothes led Ling Jingxuan and strode in. Behind them were Zhao Shan and two schoolboys. There was no difference between monarch and minister, and he quickly got up to meet him: "Lao Jiu, Jingxuan, you are here, go and see Xiao Qi."

The imperial physicians who had rushed back all diagnosed that the wind and cold had entered the body, but Xiao Qi was unconscious. It was absolutely impossible to be as simple as the wind and cold. Now their only hope is Ling Jingxuan, who has excellent medical skills.

"Your Majesty and the prince should wait outside."

Coldly refusing him to go with him, Ling Jingxuan nodded with Yan Shengrui, and led Zhao Shan and the medical boy to the inner room. Yan Shengzhi frowned and tried to follow, but Yan Shengrui stretched out his hand to stop him, meeting his displeased eyes, Yan Shengrui said expressionlessly: "From this moment on, no one is allowed to come in or out."

On the way here, Ling Jingxuan had already listened to Yan Er's detailed explanation of Yan Xiaoming's condition. According to his estimation, Yan Xiaoming might have contracted some kind of virus this time, and it would inevitably infect more people. Quarantine is a must. After it is determined that it is not a virus, everyone can freely enter and exit.

"Old Nine.

"Brother Huang, let's wait until Jingxuan finishes his diagnosis and treatment."

Without giving him a chance to ask, Yan Shengrui's face was as watery as ever, and he didn't want to say anything until he was diagnosed.

"Zhang Dezi, send people to guard all the passages in and out of the inner room. No one is allowed to enter or leave at will."

After staring at him deeply for a while, Yan Shengzhi turned and walked towards the Phoenix chair. Although the old nine is arrogant and unreasonable, he is definitely not a person who is just looking for trouble. There must be a reason for him to do that. All he can do now is to try his best to Help him and wait, Xiaoqi is the emperor seedling he discovered with great difficulty, he must not make fun of his life safety.

Seeing that he still has some brains, Yan Chengrui also saved a lot of effort. He glanced at the concubines in the room, curled his lips almost imperceptibly. Waiting patiently.

"Jingxuan!"

In Yan Xiaoming's dormitory, seeing Ling Jingxuan's arrival, Chu Yunhan, who had always been by the bedside, excitedly greeted him. Ling Jingxuan gave him a comforting look, patted him on the shoulder, and walked past him to the bed. Xiaoqi on the bed, and several imperial doctors gathered in the dormitory just wanted to step forward to help him, but Zhao Shan and two medical boys took the first step. In front of them, they didn't dare to reveal anything.

"Don't be afraid, with Uncle Ling here, even Lord Yan, don't try to rob me. Get a good night's sleep."

Glancing distressedly at Yan Xiaoming, who had already languished a lot in just a day or two, Ling Jingxuan leaned over and whispered something comfortingly in his ear, then lifted the quilt, and took the silver needle handed over by Zhao Shan to aim at it. His acupoints were quickly pierced, and the frown that was frowning in a coma gradually relaxed, and then Ling Jingxuan pulled out his hand to catch his pulse.

How can it be?

Danfeng's eyes widened for a moment, Xiao Qi was actually infected with smallpox virus, how could this be possible?Smallpox did not break out anywhere in the capital, let alone in the palace. How could Xiaoqi, who has been living in the palace, be infected with smallpox virus?

"When did he get sick? What decoctions did he take during the period?"

With a dignified expression, Ling Jingxuan withdrew his hand. Two clusters of flames danced faintly in the bottom of his eyes. He was infected with the smallpox virus in a place where the smallpox virus did not break out. It was obvious that someone secretly planned to put Xiaoqi to death. , Xiaoqi must be cured first.

"Yesterday he had a little fever, but the symptoms were not very serious. I asked you to take a pill you gave me before going to bed last night. It is said that it was not very serious when I woke up this morning. Although the fever has not subsided, it will not be in a coma. I don’t wake up, Dongxiang said that it’s because of taking the decoction prescribed by Imperial Physician Yang. Other imperial physicians also confirmed that there is nothing wrong with those medicinal materials. They are indeed prescriptions for treating wind and cold. Before you came, I saw that Xiaoqi’s lips were dry and cracked , just feed him a little of the energy water you gave us before, that’s about it, Jingxuan, what’s wrong with Xiao Qi?”

Chu Yunhan was full of anxiety and worry, looking at him almost helplessly, Ling Jingxuan swept all the people in the room coldly, and said coldly: "Xiao Qi is not suffering from wind-cold disease, the decoction to treat wind-cold is not only ineffective, Instead, it accelerated his death, who is Imperial Physician Yang?"

"It's the next official."

An old man who looked more than seventy years old came out tremblingly. Judging from his appearance, he seemed to be quite frightened. If the Seventh Prince was really not a cold, as Prince Cheng and Princess said, then he misdiagnosed the cause and the decoction he prescribed accelerated Illness, this crime is enough for him to ransack his family and exterminate his family.

"Looking at your appearance, you must have practiced medicine for many years. Didn't you realize that the Seventh Prince's pulse is heavier and stagnant than the wind and cold?"

Ling Jingxuan's tone was very gentle, but it gave off a chilly feeling. Imperial Physician Yang trembled and said tremblingly: "Your official didn't notice it."

"Snapped!"

As soon as the voice fell, Ling Jingxuan stood up against the case, pointed at him and reprimanded sharply: "It's not that you didn't notice it, but you ignored it. You knew that the Seventh Prince's pulse was slightly different from Fenghan, but you deliberately ignored it, treating him as Fenghan. , old man, this concubine sees that you are impatient."

If he admitted honestly, he would not be angry. This attitude of not admitting his mistakes would undoubtedly make him angry. Fortunately, Chu Yunhan fed Xiao Qi to drink Crescent Spring water, and removed part of the medicinal properties in time, otherwise, when the symptoms of smallpox virus appeared in the On his face, even if he wanted to hide it, he couldn't hide it. You know, in ancient times, smallpox was undoubtedly one of the plagues that the ancients feared the most. Taking the opportunity to ask the emperor to execute Xiao Qi, after all, now he is the only one infected with the virus, so it is only natural for people to classify it as the source of infection.

"Excuse me, I dare not..."

Imperial Physician Yang fell limply to the ground, Ling Jingxuan was not in the mood to deal with him, and raised his voice: "Yan Er, lock him up and wait for my concubine to cure Xiaoqi before we deal with it."

"Yes"

Yan Er, who came with them, grabbed the ashen-faced Imperial Physician Yang as easily as an eagle catching a chick, and left the dormitory. Ling Jingxuan lowered his eyes to calm down his emotions, turned his head and whispered in Chu Yunhan's ear: "Xiaoqi's condition is a bit tricky. You should disperse these people first, find a room and lock them up, and don't let them contact the outside world for the time being. We are enough here. Also, from this morning, everyone who has been in contact with Xiaoqi People are trying to isolate themselves, and they must not be allowed to leak what happened here."

"Well..." Chu Yunhan absolutely believed in Ling Jingxuan 100%, so even though he was full of doubts, he didn't rush to seek answers. Until the root cause of His Royal Highness’s illness is found out, not a single fly can be released, and outsiders are not allowed to enter without my palace’s permission, and those who disobey this order will be killed without mercy!” The last word fell, and a beautiful face emerged He is full of killing intent, he is not stupid, Ling Jingxuan is so cautious, it is obvious that a situation that none of them expected has happened, and he must not be soft-hearted at this time.

"Yes"

Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter bowed and retreated, and the others did not dare to have any reluctance, and followed them away silently. The Ninth Prince, who had been with Yan Xiaoming's bed from the beginning to the end, quietly tugged at the hem of Chu Yunhan's clothes, After he lowered his head, he raised his head and said, "Father, let me stay. I want to take care of Seventh Brother with you."

He used to be reckless and ignorant, so that he got into a catastrophe and lost the protection of his mother and concubine. If he hadn't been taken care of by his father and the seventh brother, he would have been killed by someone. To him, they are his last Dear man, brother Seventh Emperor is seriously ill now, no matter what, he wants to stay by his side.

"Let him stay."

Seeing Chu Yunhan's embarrassed face, Ling Jingxuan made the decision on his behalf, and the Ninth Prince respectfully saluted him: "Thank you, Aunt Ninth Emperor."

"You don't need to thank me. I'm afraid you won't thank me when you know Xiao Qi's condition."

Ling Jingxuan glanced at him lightly, ignoring their doubts, turned around and lifted the quilt covering Xiaoqi's body. Due to sweating, the body under the quilt was naked, and Ling Jingxuan's eyes were like radar on his body. After careful inspection, some hidden places were reddened and sores appeared. This is a typical symptom of smallpox for one or two days. After three or four days, his high fever will subside and his whole body will be covered with red rashes and acne. Time...Damn it, don't let him know who did it, or he'll make him suffer the same.

"Respect, Jingxuan, what happened to Xiaoqi?"

Seeing that he turned over Xiao Qi's body to check, Chu Yunhan's voice trembled with fear. Could something really happen to Xiao Qi?

"Shh!"

After making a silent gesture to him, Ling Jingxuan helped Xiao Qi cover the quilt again, and asked Zhao Shan to give him another needle to relieve the pain before raising his voice: "Yan Er."

"Yes"

Yan Er, who had left before, came out from the dark again, and he should have come back long ago. Ling Jingxuan didn't talk to him, but looked at him and said word by word: "From this moment on, I want what happened in this room Everything can’t be spread out, can it be done?” He must make sure that there are no other shadow guards nearby, and that Xiao Qi’s illness will not be leaked, at least until he cures Xiao Qi, all of this must be a secret .

"Subordinates obey!"

Facing his sharp gaze, Yan Er clasped his fists together and disappeared, Ling Jingxuan gave Chu Yunhan a follow-up look, and went straight to the chair in the dormitory and sat down.

"Jing Xuan.

"Smallpox, Xiaoqi is infected with smallpox virus!"

This time, before he could finish asking, Ling Jingxuan closed his eyes and announced the answer with heartache.
