"Miss Wen, there is really no other way. Please come with me to Changfu Palace."
Wen Qingzhu nodded and followed Jiang Dejia inside, asking at the same time: "Is the concubine feeling unwell?"
"It's more than that." Jiang Dejia explained with a sad look on his face, "The situation is very complicated. You can see it when you go there."
Without asking any more questions, Wen Qingzhu just followed Jiang Dejia for a long detour.
After half an hour, he entered the side door of Changfu Palace.
The leading nanny was an acquaintance of Wen Qingzhu, and she often followed Concubine Cheng in the past.
She led the way with an anxious look on her face: "This way! This way!"
After walking for a quarter of an hour, Wen Qingzhu finally arrived in Princess Cheng's room.
The heavy curtains blocked most of the light, and the thick incense made Wen Qingzhu frown when he smelled it.
After arriving in the inner room, Wen Qingzhu saw the people in the room.
Except for Princess Cheng who was lying on the field, the eldest princess Jiang Wuyang and the county lord Pingshu were all here.
Concubine Hui was waiting on the side, waving to her: "Come here, drink this first."
Wen Qingzhu walked over and looked at a bowl of strange soup.
After smelling it, there was nothing wrong with it, so she drank it all in one gulp.
Standing next to Concubine Hui, Wen Qingzhu glanced at Concubine Cheng on the bed.
You won’t know if you don’t look at it, but you will be shocked when you look at it.
There were large and small black spots on Princess Cheng's face, and some were even rotten and sores.
"Get out of the way!" The first thing that popped into Wen Qingzhu's mind was the plague.
Princess Cheng's symptoms were very similar to the black plague in her previous life.
Only then did everyone turn around, and Wen Qingzhu discovered that Concubine Cheng's hand was being helped.
"It's okay. The imperial doctor prescribed medicine and pressed incense was lit in the house. The imperial concubine cannot live without people around her." Concubine Hui explained patiently.
Wen Qingzhu subconsciously took a step back.
This black plague is not that simple.
But what shocked Wen Qingzhu was that the black plague should have broken out in a small area in the south. How could it have spread to the palace
Seeing her like this, Liang Pingshu suddenly stood up, stared at Wen Qingzhu and asked, "What do you mean! You haven't seen your grandma yet! Besides, you also drank the preventive decoction, and we are not afraid! What are you afraid of! Are you so afraid?" Why does death come again!"
"That's not what I meant..." Wen Qingzhu didn't know how to explain.
The black plague in the south in the previous life did not reach the capital at all.
Officials in the south reported fewer than 10,000 casualties.
But later Wen Qingzhu learned from Jiang Yuancheng's secret documents that the number of casualties from the black plague in the south had exceeded 200,000.
The reason why no one refutes the figure of less than 10,000 is because almost all those who knew about it died.
At that time, she handled these documents for Jiang Yuancheng and learned a lot.
For example, the specific symptoms of the Black Plague in the mid-term are the appearance of a concubine in front of her.
"Then what do you mean!" Liang Pingshu thought of what happened before, and when she added today's incident, she felt worried.
Now every time I look at Wen Qingzhu, I always feel that she is gentle and calm on the surface, but maybe she is planning something behind her back.
"This is a plague, do you know?" Wen Qingzhu stopped entangled with Liang Pingshu and turned to look at Concubine Hui.
But Concubine Hui nodded: "Yes, the High Court judge said that the plague in the south a few days ago was like this, but it's not clear how it was transmitted to the concubine."
"This plague is not simple. It's not just a matter of taking preventive medicine or lighting incense." Wen Qingzhu didn't know how to explain it.
There were 200,000 people, and none of the local officials ran away.
Once word spread in the palace, Wen Qingzhu's expression turned serious.
She said to Concubine Hui: "I want to see the High Court for judgment."
"Don't worry, he will be back in half an hour." Liang Pingshu looked at Wen Qingzhu and felt that she was unwilling to treat Concubine Cheng.
Wen Qingzhu nodded, hesitated, and said to the eldest princess: "Your Highness, I will make a new prescription here and give you other instructions, okay?"
Jiang Wuyang handed Concubine Cheng's hand to the serving nanny and turned around, her eyes still red.
She nodded: "Go ahead."
Wen Qingzhu immediately turned around and went out, asking the palace maid to give her pen and ink, quickly wrote down the prescription, and gave it to her to go to the Imperial Hospital to get the medicine.
She also ordered the other maids: "Go and get some white vinegar immediately. The higher the concentration, the better."
"What do you want white vinegar for?" Concubine Hui followed out. Seeing Wen Qingzhu's solemn look, her mood became heavy.
"Disinfection." Wen Qingzhu said, white vinegar has an effect, and it is a very useful thing that the people of Medicine God Valley discovered after several plagues.
After a while, the judge from the High Court came over early and brought the medicine boy from last time with him.
"Miss Wen, you're here." The High Court judge was very polite, "The prescription you prescribed is different from mine, but what's the difference?"
Wen Qingzhu thought for a moment and then told the truth: "These two are specifically targeting this black plague."
"Black plague?" The High Court noticed her words for a moment, "How do you say it?"
Wen Qingzhu explained: "The reason why it is called the Black Plague is because people who are infected with this disease will have black spots all over their bodies. Eventually, the spots will fester and pus will bleed, and the body will not be able to recover and die. Moreover, it is extremely contagious. In addition, the body is getting worse." Weak people are more likely to be infected."
The High Court judge nodded slowly and suddenly asked: "Miss Wen has seen this kind of disease before?"
Seeing that he had doubts, Wen Qingzhu made up a reason: "I saw it in a book."
The High Court ruled:…
The maid from outside brought in new decoction, and Wen Qingzhu asked everyone to drink it one by one. Then he asked Jiang Wuyang's opinion and started to spread white vinegar in the room.
"This white vinegar?" High Court Judge asked Wen Qingzhu hesitantly, looking at the palace maids busy in the room.
Wen Qingzhu, who was standing at the door, kept his expression unchanged and said calmly: "I read it in a book."
The High Court judge stopped asking, and after the vinegar was finished, he walked to the door.
Wen Qingzhu was found looking at a bird under the corridor.
That bird has colorful feathers on its body. To be able to become a dowager, it must be a bird with a beautiful song.
Most birds are very lively, but the one in front of me is sleepy. It lies on the bottom of the cage with its head hunched, and it takes a long time to raise its head.
"Where did this bird come from?" Wen Qingzhu stopped a palace maid who was about to enter the house.
The palace maid looked over, was startled, turned around and ran over.
Wen Qingzhu grabbed her and said, "Wait! That is probably the source of infection."
The palace maid was startled and quickly stopped and told her, "This is what the officials from the south thought were sent to me after the New Year's Banquet."
"Who is it specifically?" Wen Qingzhu frowned, why was this matter not investigated clearly
Liang Pingshu's voice came from behind: "It was Zhang Zhifu from Lingcheng who sent someone to the capital."
Wen Qingzhu turned around and looked at Liang Pingshu: "Which Magistrate Zhang?"
"Zhang Chunnian is from the Zhang family, a prominent local family in Lingcheng. He is ranked ninth in the family." Liang Pingshu looked at Wen Qingzhu and spoke word by word.
After listening to her words, Wen Qingzhu said: "You'd better send someone to find out where this bird really comes from. If nothing else happens, a plague will probably break out in the south."
"Are you so sure?"
As Liang Pingshu was speaking, the High Court judge on the other end had already walked over.
He put on a glove, opened the cage, and took the bird out.
After flipping the feathers on the bird's body, the High Court ruled; his face darkened: "It is indeed this bird. It also has black spots on its body, covered by feathers, so it cannot be easily discovered."
Wen Qingzhu walked over and watched as the High Court judge lifted the feathers on the bird's belly.
What suddenly appeared in front of my eyes were large and small black spots, and the symptoms were already serious.
"Take it and burn it immediately!" The High Court judge knocked the condom into a cloth bag and handed it to the medicine boy who was accompanying him.
Wen Qingzhu glanced at him and noticed that he smiled ingratiatingly, then he took the bag and left.
Liang Pingshu clenched her fists and immediately turned around and shouted: "Qinghu! Send someone to investigate!"
After a while, the medicine boy from before ran back in panic.
He was still covering his right hand with tears falling down his face: "Sir! It's not good! The bird was snatched away by Princess Yijia!"
"What!" The High Court judge's expression suddenly changed and he quickly pointed outside, "Quick! Take me there!"
Watching them leave in a hurry, Wen Qingzhu became more and more confused.
How could it be such a coincidence that Jiang Yijia met her.
Wen Qingzhu walked in and told Concubine Hui about the incident.
Concubine Hui's expression suddenly changed, and it took her a long time to turn around and say to Jiang Wuyang, "Eldest Princess, the original bird that was the source of the infection was taken away by Princess Yijia!"
Jiang Wuyang took a deep breath, looked at Concubine Cheng behind her, and finally looked outside.
She struggled in her heart for a long time, and finally walked to the door of the house: "Here comes someone! Come with me to meet His Majesty!"
Jiang Wuyang left, and Concubine Hui stayed to take care of Concubine Cheng.
Wen Qingzhu stood at the door, looking at the cloudy sky.
She already had a premonition that a new round of bloody storm would start again.
The bird was obviously brought in deliberately, and the target was Taifei Cheng.
So now, whose way is Princess Cheng blocking
Is it from Concubine Li
There was no need for her to let Jiang Yijia die in person.
With such direct and vicious methods, Wen Qingzhu could not think of anyone else.
Then there is only Yun Wan from Hanbing Palace.
If Jiang Yuancheng really wants to seize the throne, the resistance will be the greatest.
Even if the prince is deposed, according to the power of the mother's clan and the status of the mother and concubine, it will be King Ning's turn and not Jiang Yuancheng.
Princess Cheng is a person who abides by the rules very much.
If Prince Jing grows up—
etc! King Jing!
Wen Qingzhu suddenly turned around, ran into the house, and asked Concubine Hui: "Empress! Over there with Prince Jing—"
"Not good." Concubine Hui turned to leave, but suddenly stopped.
Wen Qingzhu felt strange: "What's wrong?"
Jiang Dejia, who followed, explained: "My father has given instructions. No one is allowed to approach Qingning Palace without his instructions in the future, including His Highness the Crown Prince."
Wen Qingzhu couldn't help but hold his forehead.
What is this thing called
After hesitating for a long time, Wen Qingzhu asked Jiang Dejia: "Is General Lu still in the palace now?"
"Not now." Jiang Dejia shook his head.
Wen Qingzhu only felt that one person was as big as two people. He looked at Jiang Dejia and said, "Is there any way for the princess to deliver the news to General Lu as quickly as possible?"
"Okay." Jiang Dejia nodded, called a palace maid who was close to her, whispered a few words, and the palace maid left quickly.
But Jiang Dejia still had doubts: "The eldest princess has gone directly to her father. Wouldn't it be better to tell him directly?"
"To scare the snake, with General Lu here, it's best to take it down in one fell swoop." Wen Qingzhu actually had another worry in his mind, that is, Wan Bin might not have taken action against King Jing.
It's just that King Jing's frail body, even if she didn't take action, was messed up by Jiang Yijia like this. If the black plague really spreads in the palace, the consequences will be really disastrous.
Jiang Dejia nodded, Wen Qingzhu still frowned.
And Goudan over there in Leng Gong, I don’t know if he can survive this time.
At the same time, here in Leng Gong.
A layer of tiny black spots appeared on Goudan's chin and neck. He curled up into a ball and shivered.
In front of him, there were several big black rats running around recklessly.
Goudan was extremely scared. He had never seen such a big rat in Leng Palace.
terrible!
After his finger was bitten by a mouse two days ago, he developed a high fever that night.
He had no energy to find food for two days.
Suddenly, his tears flowed out, and he shouted in a trembling voice: "Sister Zhu..."
