Ye Zheng hesitated for a moment, and was about to speak, when suddenly a young eunuch hurried outside, he knelt in front of Zhu Feng, panting and said: "Your Majesty, something has happened!"
Zhu Feng said, "What's the matter?"
"The harem, there is an epidemic!"
"What?"
Zhu Feng frowned, paused, and immediately asked, "Which palace? Who is it?"
The little eunuch said: "Earlier, Imperial Physician Chen went to Ye Ting to ask for the pulse of the maid, but the people at Jianfu Palace said that someone was sick, so they asked the imperial physician to take a look, and after going to see it, they found that it was Du Jieyu and her maid. Zhen'er. Later, news came from Chonghua Palace and Yanxi Palace that the maids beside Concubine Kang and Concubine Ning, as well as Concubine De, all fell ill."
Ye Zheng on the side listened, and hurriedly asked: "Are they just sick, or is it a contagious disease?"
The little eunuch said: "Returning to Master Ye, at first, Imperial Physician Chen thought it was just a common cold, but after careful inspection, he found that the patient had a persistent high fever and rashes all over his body. Moreover, these people were all due to contact. That's why I fell ill."
"..."
"So, according to the imperial doctor's judgment, it should be contagious."
Ye Zheng's face immediately darkened.
They were all startled when they heard that there was an epidemic in the harem before. Fortunately, it was just a false alarm, but they didn't expect it to come true!
With a sullen face, Zhu Feng asked again: "Since it is contagious, do the people in Yeting show signs of being contagious?"
The little eunuch said: "Currently, several imperial physicians have been sent to the harem by the empress, and are being investigated."
"..."
"The empress asked the slaves to come and report this matter to the emperor first."
"..."
"However, since the illness has not been clarified yet, so please don't go to the harem for the time being, Your Majesty."
"..."
Zhu Feng thought for a while, waved his hands, and said, "Okay, I understand, you go down first."
"..."
"Go and tell the queen, find out the matter, and let her answer my words."
"yes."
The little eunuch got up and backed out.
Ye Zheng's forehead was covered with cold sweat, he turned his head to look at Zhu Feng, and said softly: "Your Majesty, this—"
Zhu Feng said quietly: "Let's see what's going on. We'll talk about it after we find out."
"yes."

Soon, the atmosphere in the harem became chilling.
Because of the contagious disease, the busy ladies and eunuchs covered their mouths and noses with white cloths, and everyone hurriedly cleaned the palace with clean water, even the tiniest corners, and lit it with wormwood, and smoked it everywhere. bake.
Nan Yan stood at the door, watching the green smoke curling up outside.
She frowned and said anxiously: "Why did the disease suddenly appear?"
Ran Xiaoyu stood beside her and said, "Who knows."
"..."
"Earlier, Du Siyao said that there was an epidemic on our side, but the result was good. The two of us just lied to her, but there really was an epidemic on her side."
"..."
"Besides, she fell ill herself."
"..."
"Hmph, God really has eyes."
When Nan Yan heard this, she quickly covered her mouth with her hand: "Keep your voice down, she's not the only one who fell ill now."
"..."
"I heard that even Debi was infected."
She remembered that Ye Zheng had mentioned to her that Depin was Zhu Feng's housemate who had been by his side since he was young, and the relationship between the two could be considered very good.
Therefore, the queen has been staying at Yanxi Palace to watch.
Ran Xiaoyu shrugged, took her hand off her mouth, and said softly, "I just think it's a little strange."
"What's so strange?"
