"Hasn't he only been sick for three or five days? How come he's not getting better?" the queen said calmly.
Sun Xiuyi was once favored and had caused a lot of trouble to the queen. Now that she is dying of illness, the queen will not care about her anymore.
"The concubines in the palace are delicate and fragile to begin with. Now that she has fallen out of favor, the people around her don't serve her wholeheartedly. In this hot summer, there is not even enough ice. She is sweating all over and can't move, and the sores on her body are getting worse." said Nanny Ding.
The Queen sneered, "She thought that what she did to Xia was unknown to anyone, but something happened when Xia was about to give birth, and the heir was gone. The Emperor was bound to investigate thoroughly, so didn't the truth come out?"
"That's right. If Sun hadn't been greedy and wanted to kill the mother and keep the child, how could anyone have had the opportunity to do this?" Nanny Ding also sneered.
Although it is unknown who poisoned Xia Wanrong, this person must have realized that Xia's fetus was too large and would eventually be difficult to deliver. When it was born, either both mother and child would die, or the heir to the throne would die.
But as long as the royal heir is gone, the emperor will surely be furious and investigate, and there is no way Sun Xiuyi can escape.
"The imperial physician has not yet developed a prescription for the plague. If he is going to die of the disease, what else can I do?" The queen curled her lips.
This meant that she didn't care. Nanny Ding understood and immediately went downstairs to pass on the message.
But there were more than one place staring at Hanluxuan. In Yunqi Pavilion, Xia Wanrong was also staring at it all the time.
"Nowadays, people are not allowed to walk around freely in the palace. The servants are lazy and sluggish. Only the two older maids Yichun and Danruo are still dedicated. However, they serve Sun Xiuyi closely and cannot leave the room. All things have to be delivered by servants outside. Isn't this a deduction?"
Lian Qiao rubbed Xia's shoulders while explaining in detail.
Sick people cannot sleep well, cannot eat well, and are already depressed by the plummeting salary. Add to this illness, how can they live a good life
Xia Wanrong raised her chin slightly, her eyes sinister, "You want to die so easily? I've suffered more than this."
"What does Wanrong mean?" Lian Qiao narrowed her eyes slightly and had almost figured it out in her mind.
"Oh, didn't she always pride herself on her beauty and dancing skills? If she wants to live, she can do without these things, don't you think?" Xia Wanrong sneered, "Think of a way to pass the message on. Serve her carefully and let her hold on a little longer. Also, make sure she drinks all the medicine from the Imperial Hospital!"
Lian Qiao nodded and immediately went to do it himself.
A lot of money was spent secretly, and the food at Hanluxuan was restored to its original state that day.
Not only that, everything that was included in the prescription, even the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician, also arrived in time.
Sun Xiuyi was so sick that she felt much better and didn't think much about it. Danruo and Yichun just thought that something happened to Ming Jieyu and the queen didn't dare to let another person die in the harem, so they took care of her a little.
Although the prescription for the plague has not yet been completely effective, it is about 60% to 70% effective. With careful care, Sun Xiuyi's condition did not deteriorate further for a while.
It can be considered that he has saved his life for the time being.
Xia Wanrong wanted to save Sun's life. She couldn't let Sun die like this. She wanted Sun to survive and then torture her slowly.
She wants to get everything back for the child who was lost in vain!
Not many people really care about Sun's life or death, but Ye Jun's life is still very precious.
When the two eunuchs who were guarding Jin sobered up and heard that Jin had run out to assassinate Concubine Ming, they were so frightened that they collapsed.
There was no torture at all; they confessed everything right away.
That night, the two of them came to take a rest after the two maids who guarded the gate during the day went downstairs. They found two jars of wine in the corner and started drinking. They were not good at drinking, so they got drunk after just one drink and had no idea what happened next.
And it was on this day that the little palace maid who went to Yuxiu Pavilion to deliver the message was found.
But what was found was a corpse, discovered in a remote lake in the palace. It was obvious that the person had been dead for some time, and had floated on the river. The body was so swollen that it was difficult to tell who it was.
But judging from his clothes and height, it was indeed this person.
At this point, it is obvious that nothing can be found out.
Ye Jun stepped forward again and took the initiative to express that he did not want to trouble the emperor who was busy with the previous dynasty because of his personal affairs, so the matter was left unresolved.
Jin and her servants were sentenced to death.
After five or six days, good news finally came from the previous dynasty. Some of the young and strong men and women who were sick in the suburbs of Beijing were getting better.
So far, the plague has broken out for more than a month, and many people have died.
Fortunately, this time the disease was caused by floods, and other prefectures were not affected. Only people in the suburbs of Beijing and the edge of Bianzhou, which is closest to Kyoto, were infected. The scope was not large and the number of people was not too large.
When the news reached the harem, Yao Xiang secretly sent people to look for Shen Pingzhi again.
But this time, the people she sent failed to see Shen Pingzhi.
"The Queen values him so much, but he doesn't appreciate it at all and even refuses to see me!" Qiwen said angrily.
Yao Xiang frowned and waved her hands in annoyance, "Forget it. Now he is responsible for Ming Jieyu's injury. Since he is unwilling to cooperate with me, there is no need to go. It will also save us from having too many interactions and letting others seize the opportunity to make trouble."
After all, she forgot about this matter and took action too late. If she went to find Shen Pingzhi again and again, it would seem too deliberate and would inevitably arouse suspicion from others.
At that time, Shen Pingzhi was taking Ye Yun's pulse in Yuxiu Pavilion.
Naturally, he also told him that Fang Xiuyi had sent someone to look for him again today.
"This is really strange. Why do I feel that she is certain that you, Doctor Shen, can develop a prescription for the plague?" Huiyue muttered.
Shen Pingzhi smiled, "Miss, you are joking. How can Fang Xiuyi know in advance something that even I cannot determine? I am afraid that she knows my family background and thinks that my family has been practicing medicine for generations, so they must be able to do something. In fact, my father and grandfather have made some progress in their research on prescriptions recently."
"If we can really develop a prescription, it will be a good thing for the people of the world." Ye Jun smiled lightly, but there was a different emotion hidden in her eyes. "The emperor said he would come to have dinner today. Huiyue, you should ask someone to prepare it early. If Imperial Doctor Shen has nothing else to do, you can go back first."
Shen Pingzhi bowed and said, "Then I will take my leave."
After he left, Huiyue was also sent out. Ye Jun stood up, walked to the table alone, and poured a cup of herbal tea with his uninjured right hand.
After taking a sip, I felt a little calmer.
Huiyue's seemingly unintentional words just now caused Ye Jun's heart to be filled with waves.
Although she is an extremely rare accident, since there is one, will there be a second one
But it can only be considered speculation at the moment, after all, there is no real evidence.
And on the surface, she didn't notice what Yao had done, but once she had a guess, it was better to keep an eye on her.
