Chapter 179: Smallpox Plague Spreads in the Imperial Palace
Concubine Zheng smiled sweetly and wrapped her delicate arms around the Second Prince's sweaty neck again.
"Your Highness Prince Chen, I have tried my best to serve you. Are you comfortable?"
Looking at the charming and alluring beauty, the second prince turned over and pressed her delicate body under him.
: "It's so comfortable! I am obsessed with you, this enchanting little fairy, and I never get tired of it."
Lady Zheng's pretty face was flushed with peach blossoms, and her eyes were full of spring: "Then I will fight with you, Your Majesty, for another three hundred rounds!"
"Okay! I will let you taste the wonderful feeling of ecstasy again."
The red sheets are rolling in waves! The gentle cries of the beautiful Zheng fill the room with springtime beauty...
Lady Zheng used her long nails painted with red nail polish to gently stroke the strong chest of Prince Chen.
The anxiety and panic I felt when I was sent back by the eldest prince have all disappeared in the past few days.
Not only did His Royal Highness Prince Chen not punish her, but he showed her great favor and asked for her pleasure every day. Even if she couldn't become Prince Chen's concubine, she should have a place in the Prince Chen's mansion.
"Yujiao, you should go back to the Divine Sword Villa tomorrow! Help me monitor the young master of the Divine Sword Villa, Youlong Divine Sword You Ruoxu."
Zheng Meiren was stunned for a moment when she heard this! Her body softened in panic.
A pair of beautiful eyes filled with tears: "My Lord, don't you like me anymore?"
The Second Prince stroked her shoulders and coaxed her softly, "This prince loves Yujiao very much!
However, for the sake of my grand ambition, Yujiao, you need to put in more effort.
Your senior sister sent a letter saying that she had met the orphan of King Wei, Zhao Wuji, in the hot spring villa of the King Qin's mansion. The bastard who had a congenital disease had recovered greatly and could walk and run like a normal child.
That little brat is also a big worry for this king. He must not be allowed to grow up safely and healthily. He must be eradicated to prevent future troubles.
Although Shenjian Villa may not be strong enough to assassinate the King of Qin, it is more than enough to find an opportunity to get rid of the evil bastard Zhao Wuji.
In the next few days, the emperor will order the Prince of Qin Zhao Defang to be sent to Shandong Road to investigate the corruption case involving river management and construction.
At that time, it will be my chance to get rid of Zhao Wuji!
And that silly princess has been staying at the hot spring villa these days. When you asked You Ruoxu to get rid of the little bastard, you kidnapped the silly princess and hid her in the Shenjian Villa. Tell him to be careful not to hurt the silly princess at all. I have a lot of use for her.
When you return to Shenjian Villa, you will be responsible for conveying orders to Young Villa Master You Ruoxu to do these two things, and for monitoring his loyalty to me.
After this is done, you will be my beloved concubine. When the king ascends the throne in the future, you will be the most favored concubine in the palace."
"Since the prince has ordered me to do something, Yujiao dare not disobey!" Zheng Meiren did not dare to disobey the order, so she had to agree to it depressedly. ...
...............
The Tubo prince has been in the capital for several days, but the emperor has neither summoned him nor decided on the candidate for marriage.
The emperor seemed to have forgotten about this matter and did not mention it at the two small court meetings.
Now that Qin Wang Zhao Defang has recovered, the emperor, who is good at employing people, has given him another important task. He ordered the talented Qin Wang to take people to Shandong Road to investigate the corruption case in the river management and construction project!
The court officials were muttering in their hearts: The Emperor will not stop until the King of Qin is exhausted to death!
While the Prince of Qin was away from the capital, the person for the marriage was chosen. Princess Yongqing could not escape her bad fate!
But who can blame His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin for being so capable? He has solved several difficult cases with ease and successfully completed them.
The emperor valued the talented and decisive King Qin, which made it impossible for several ministers who were dissatisfied to speak out against him.
King Qin Zhao Defang did not make excuses to refuse, but instead gladly accepted the order.
Before the court meeting was over, a eunuch came in with a pale face to report.
"Your Majesty! Six servants and maids in the Shouning Palace of Concubine Li Xian have suddenly fallen ill.
The imperial physician diagnosed that he was... infected with smallpox!"
The emperor was frightened!
The memorial in his hand fell to the ground with a "bang".
"Really?...Is it really the smallpox plague?" The emperor's voice was a little unsteady.
The eunuch kneeling on the ground looked pale and had cold sweat on his forehead.
There was a tremor of fear in the shrill voice: "The results of the diagnosis by several imperial doctors are all... smallpox plague!"
The dozen or so important officials of the imperial court in the imperial study also felt a shock in their hearts and were extremely panicked!
If this matter is true, and the smallpox plague, which is highly contagious and has a very high mortality and disability rate, spreads in the palace, the situation would be extremely serious!
More than a dozen ministers were suddenly in a panic and began to discuss the matter anxiously and worriedly.
His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin, who was specially summoned to the palace, was calm and composed. He frowned slightly and pondered for a moment.
"Your Majesty! The current plan is to seal off Shouning Palace first, and quickly organize the imperial doctors and medical officers who went to Yanzhou to fight the epidemic to go in and treat those palace people who have been infected with smallpox."
"Yes! Quickly seal off Shouning Palace, and order the imperial physician and medical officers who went to Yanzhou to fight the epidemic last time to come into the palace for treatment!" The frightened emperor hurriedly issued an order.
Another eunuch ran in breathlessly and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty! Princess Yongqing of Yayan Pavilion is ill, and the imperial physician diagnosed that she has been infected with smallpox!"
His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin was so shocked that he leaned over, grabbed the eunuch's collar and lifted him up!
He asked sternly, "Is this true? Yongqing has also been infected with smallpox?!"
The ministers thought that they were really worried and confused! His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin, who had been calm and composed just now, was immediately frightened and lost his composure when he heard that his sister, Princess Yongqing, had also been infected with smallpox.
The eunuch almost rolled his eyes because of the collar he wore.
: "Seriously! Imperial Doctor Liu's diagnosis..."
The King of Qin threw him to the ground, turned around and said anxiously: "Your Majesty! I want to go to Yayan Pavilion to see Yongqing and my mother."
"No!... Pass the order to seal off Yayan Pavilion as well!" The emperor stopped the King of Qin.
People in the palace are already in panic, and everyone is in danger!
The emperor sat behind the imperial desk with a pale face, his heart pounding! [If this deadly plague spreads in the palace, it will bring disaster to me and my concubines...
It’s bad! I spent the night in Shouning Palace the day before yesterday! 】
Thinking of this, the emperor immediately felt cold all over, with a headache, heart pain, stomach pain, and toes pain! His hands that were holding the imperial desk began to tremble.
"Quickly call the imperial physician! Come and diagnose me!"
The emperor's words scared the dozen or so ministers in the imperial study!
The emperor is the supreme ruler. If he were to be infected with smallpox, it would be disastrous. The crown prince who will inherit the throne has not yet been chosen!
If we, the important officials of the court in the imperial study, were also infected by the emperor and anything happened, it would not only cause turmoil in the court, but the entire Song Dynasty would also be in danger!
Look at the emperor, whose face is pale and trembling with fear. Look at the ministers, who are running around in panic, anxious and irritable like ants on a hot pot.
King Qin Zhao Defang was laughing secretly in his heart!
[Li'er's idea is really great! She can't bear to witness this ridiculous scene. After returning, I will tell her in detail and make her laugh happily.]
