Hearing Qingyun's inquiry, Dr. Xu looked up at Mo Xuan, who was standing opposite with his hands behind his back, and said with a solemn expression: "Back to Princess Ninth, judging from the symptoms and pulse, the imperial concubine is suffering from a current epidemic, and she was not diagnosed and treated in time, so That’s why it’s so serious!”

"Epidemic?!"

Everyone's expressions suddenly changed upon hearing this, and the four personal maids of the imperial concubine, Ruqin, were so frightened that their faces turned pale. At this moment, everyone felt uncomfortable.

It should be noted that since ancient times, only a few people who have contracted the epidemic have survived, and the disease is extremely contagious. It is no wonder that everyone becomes distraught after hearing this.

Qingyun's clear eyes moved among the frightened people. Qingyun's beautiful and elegant face was condensed. There seemed to be an invisible pressure that made everyone feel frightened. They lowered their heads one after another, not even daring to take a breath. .

"As far as I know, seasonal epidemics usually occur in the summer. How could your concubine, who is in good health, contract the epidemic?"

"Nine princesses don't know something. This disease is caused by the unhealthy qi. This is a disease caused by heaven." Dr. Xu carefully said the words: "Medical theory says that people are born by being nourished by heaven's virtues and earth's qi. According to the The four seasons alternate and keep the promise to grow. There are four seasons and five elements in the sky, which produce cold, heat, dryness and wind. People have five internal organs that transform into five qi, which produce joy, anger, sorrow, and fear. If they go retrograde against the time and become disordered, they will be hurt and susceptible to disease. The evil odor of the epidemic spreads over a short period of time."

The implication is that the imperial concubine contracted the epidemic because of her unstable mood, which led to her physical weakness, and it had nothing to do with the season.

After looking at Mo Xuan, who was noncommittal, Qingyun concealed her doubts and said, "This will trouble the doctor so much."

"The imperial concubine has passed the best period of diagnosis and treatment. My medical skills are limited, so I can only do my best!" Imperial Physician Xu sighed heavily. After all, no one has been able to cure the epidemic since ancient times. Judging from Mr. Mo's attitude, I am afraid that it is not possible. Helpless.

Understanding Dr. Xu's concerns, Qingyun said solemnly: "Doctor Xu does his best to treat the imperial concubine. I and Prince Chun will be responsible for everything. Does Prince Chun say so?"

Before Sima Chun could speak, Zhang Lianwu had already said, "Master Mo has superb medical skills. I believe that with Master Mo here, my mother and concubine will be able to recover quickly."

"So what if I don't take action?" He glanced at Zhang Lianwu coldly, and the corner of Mo Xuan's lips slightly raised with a smile that seemed mocking and arrogant.

The icy eyes that were as cold as a millennium cold pool made Zhang Lianwu's heart tremble, and her face was still worried and anxious. People who didn't know it thought that she and the imperial concubine were truly in love with mother-in-law and daughter-in-law: "Master Mo refused to help. Mother and concubine, we will not force others to do anything difficult, but everyone knows that Mr. Mo has always only followed the orders of the Ninth Princess, I am afraid..."

"Concubine Zhang keeps saying that she won't force others to do anything, but there are insinuations in every word. What does Concubine Zhang mean? Could it be that the concubine's inability to recover is all because of me?"

"I never meant this!" Zhang Lianwu knelt down and defended: "As we all know, the ninth princess has always been kind-hearted. I sincerely ask the ninth princess to allow Mr. Mo to diagnose and treat the mother and concubine. The prince and the concubine will definitely be grateful... ..”

"Shut up!" Sima Chun had tried every means to win back Qingyun's heart, but Qingyun always said he was busy with court affairs and avoided seeing her. Now that he finally had the opportunity to get close to Qingyun, how could he allow others to destroy it? Let alone asking him to condescend to her. He could not lose face by asking his love rival to diagnose and treat his mother and concubine.

"Whether Mr. Mo is willing to diagnose and treat his concubine is Mr. Mo's business. What does it have to do with Jiu'er?" Sima Chun glared at Zhang Lianwu who was hesitant to speak. Sima Chun turned to look at Dr. Xu: "Doctor Xu, don't worry. Mother and Concubine’s diagnosis and treatment is that if anyone dares to embarrass Imperial Physician Xu, I will not be merciful!"

Glancing at Sima Chun who was eager to please Qingyun, Zhang Lianwu slightly lowered his eyes with a trace of ridicule.

The ignorant fool!

Everyone knows that the current epidemic is an incurable disease. Let alone Dr. Xu, even if Mo Xuan is afraid, there is nothing he can do. When the time comes, they will use the topic to their advantage. Even if Mo Xuan takes all the responsibilities, Mu Qingyun will not be able to get away from it, thus losing the support of the people. King Chun will But it has skyrocketed. Why not kill three birds with one stone with such a clever plan?

Doctor Xu was a little hesitant after hearing this, so he looked up at Qingyun and saw her nodding, and then felt relieved.

"I will go back to the Imperial Hospital to study the prescription. However, although the high fever of the Imperial Concubine has subsided, the next few days are still extremely dangerous. Someone must take care of the Imperial Concubine for twelve hours. In addition, all the things used by the Imperial Concubine must be taken care of. Burn it and isolate it for treatment to avoid infecting others."

"I will arrange this matter myself, you just need to study the prescription."

"Yes, I take my leave!" Dr. Xu saluted and left Yanqing Palace.

Lin Yiwei stood quietly aside, as quiet as if she didn't exist.

Looking down at the four Ruqin people kneeling on the ground, Qingyun's tone was clear and majestic: "The imperial concubine is sick, why didn't you ask the imperial doctor to come for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible? Why didn't you report it in time?"

"Slave..." The four of them could not stop shaking, and their faces instantly turned pale.

The other three people all looked at Ruqin in unison. Relying on the support of the imperial concubine, she often bullied them. Of course, she would be responsible for anything that happened.

Understanding that the three of them were taking the opportunity to retaliate, Ruqin stared back at them fiercely, her sinister eyes clearly saying: Idiot, do you think everything will be fine if you shift all the responsibilities to me? Don't forget, the four of us are concubines. If anything happens to the imperial concubine, everyone in the Yanqing Palace will be buried with her!

As if they understood the meaning expressed in Ruqin's eyes, the three of them were immediately frightened out of their wits: They were still young and they didn't want to be buried with him!

Seeing the small movements of the four people in his eyes, Qingyun's eyes and brows contained a hint of anger: "Say!"

The four of them couldn't help but feel shocked.

Ruqin Zhan said tremblingly: "Back to the Ninth Princess, a few days ago, my slave saw that the imperial concubine was in poor spirits, so she asked the imperial concubine to ask for help. However, the imperial concubine only said that it was due to poor sleep, and it was the New Year, so she refused to bother. The imperial doctor also strictly ordered the slave not to report anything to the Emperor Ming and the Ninth Princess. The slave had no choice but to obey the imperial concubine’s orders. Who knew that the imperial concubine suddenly had a high fever and was unconscious, so the slave hurriedly went to ask the imperial doctor... .. This servant didn’t know that the imperial concubine could be infected with the epidemic. I ask the Ninth Princess for advice!”

"Bold slave!" Zhang Lianwu yelled angrily: "It is a crime to fail to take care of the master, and to shift the responsibility to the master is an unforgivable crime! The slaves who commit such crimes should be severely punished as a warning to others. , otherwise if everyone follows suit, wouldn’t everyone climb on top of their master and dominate?" The last sentence was said to Qingyun.

"Everything I say is true, I will never hide anything. I beg the Ninth Princess to have mercy!" The four of them kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.

Looking at Zhang Lianwu who looked upright and awe-inspiring, and then at the four Ruqin people who were pleading, Qingyun opened her lips slightly and was about to say something, but heard Lin Yiwei say quietly: "Ninth Princess, I don't know if it's okay Would you like to hear a few words from my concubine?"

Qing Yun looked at Lin Yiwei with a hint of amusement in her eyes: "Please tell me!"

"The four of them did make mistakes in the first place, but now the mother-in-law needs someone to take care of her, and others may not be as familiar with the mother-in-law's living habits as they are. Therefore, I beg the Ninth Princess for them, and hope that the Ninth Princess If you can allow them to turn their merits into sins, I believe they will do their best to take care of the mother and concubine."

Hearing this, Zhang Lianwu glared at Lin Yiwei fiercely.

Even though Lin Yiwei is usually a quiet person, but she is defeated every time she fights, so you know that she is anything but simple.

What was wrong with her today was that she actually helped Mu Qingyun. Could it be that she had been colluding with Mu Qingyun for a long time?

Qingyun suddenly couldn't understand Lin Yiwei.

It is said that the imperial concubine is her biological aunt, and is closely related to her glory and wealth. She should be most anxious and angry when her life and death are not known, but she remains silent all the time, and why she pleads for the four Ruqin people is really incredible.

Also, she knew clearly that she had a deep feud with the imperial concubine and the Prime Minister's Mansion, and knew that she wanted to use this to eradicate the imperial concubine's minions. Instead of stopping her, she tactfully reminded her. In this way, she gained a good reputation for being lenient to her servants. , and got rid of the four Ruqin people in disguise. After all, the imperial concubine was almost hopeless, so they asked the four people to serve the imperial concubine, and they would not escape death in the end.

Why should she help him? She is the niece of the imperial concubine and the granddaughter of the prime minister. The Lin family treats her badly but not badly either!

"King Chun, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

Usually when this kind of thing happened, Sima Chun would have ordered people to beat them to death with sticks. Now that he wanted to win back Qing Yun's heart, he would naturally listen to her in everything.

"Just let Jiuer handle everything."

"In that case." Qingyun looked down at the four Ruqin people: "You have been negligent and delayed the best time to treat the imperial concubine's condition. You should have been severely punished. For the sake of Concubine Lin interceding for you, I will give it a rest for the time being. I will spare your life and give each of you thirty big boards as punishment. If you continue to fail to fulfill your duties, I will punish you for all your crimes! Do you remember this?"

"I would like to thank the Ninth Princess for not killing me. I will serve the imperial concubine wholeheartedly!" The four people's faces were ashen, but they could only kowtow to express gratitude. At the same time, they did not forget to express their thanks to Lin Yiwei.

Although they were temporarily exempted from the death penalty, the imperial concubines and empresses were suffering from the epidemic, so wouldn't they still die in the end?

"As for other people, as palace servants of Yanqing Palace, whether the master is unwilling to seek medical treatment or the maids are negligent, when the master's illness does not heal for several days, you should remind or advise, but you have Indifference is really abominable! Come on, drag me down and hit each of you ten times!"

Dozens of guards immediately walked in and dragged all the pale-faced maids and eunuchs from Yanqing Palace into the courtyard, including Ruqin and the others.

Looking at Qingyun with an indifferent expression, Lin Yiwei's slightly drooped eyes shone with an unknown light.

It is obvious that everyone has believed Ruqin's words, and coupled with the ninth princess's extremely wise words, everyone is probably very resentful of the imperial concubine at this moment. Who else will be loyal to the imperial concubine wholeheartedly in the future? Otherwise, it won't just be a repeat of the imperial concubine next time. It’s so easy to hit the top ten boards.

He ordered the guards to burn all the items used by the imperial concubine, and also notified the Ministry of Internal Affairs to purchase a new batch and send them to him. Qingyun made every move to go into the inner room to see the imperial concubine, but Lu Po immediately dissuaded her in a low voice.

The Ninth Princess's constitution is not strong. If she accidentally catches the epidemic again, it will be terrible!

Chao Lupo shook his head slightly, indicating that she didn't need to worry, and Qingyun walked into the inner room.

Seeing that there was no strange look on Mr. Mo's face who was following the princess, Lu Po suppressed his doubts and followed Qing Yun step by step.

On the large bed, the imperial concubine lay quietly with her eyes closed, her brows furrowed and she slept very unsteadily. Her pale face showed an unusual flush, her neck was swollen to a frightening degree, and some parts even began to burst, accompanied by bursts of pain. Smelly.

Seeing the concubine in such a miserable state, Qingyun sighed secretly.

The imperial concubine has always cared most about her appearance. How can she still be as charming as she used to be in her current appearance?

Gorgeous and charming?

A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Qingyun's mind, could it be...

Sima Chun only glanced at his mother-in-law and quickly looked away. Zhang Lianwu had a worried look on his face, while Lin Yiwei's eyes were lowered, making it difficult to see her expression clearly.

"Although there are maids in the palace to serve the imperial concubine, they are not as dedicated as relatives, does Prince Chun say so?"

"Jiu'er's words make sense." As the son of a man, he should have been filial to his bedside, but he had more important things to do. Sima Chun then turned to look at Zhang Lianwu and Lin Yiwei. Before he could speak, Zhang Lianwu had already He said anxiously: "My concubine's hand injury has not healed yet, so I'm afraid I won't be able to take good care of my mother and concubine."

Sima Chun stared straight at Zhang Lianwu, with undisguised anger and hatred in his eyes.

Yesterday, he saw her painting in the room, but now she said that her hand injury had not healed. She was obviously making excuses for fear of contracting the epidemic.

If his mother and concubine really had any shortcomings, he would definitely let this selfish bitch be buried with her!

Seeing the dim light in Sima Chun's eyes, Zhang Lianwu was suddenly startled. Then he saw Qingyun beside him, who seemed to be smiling but not smiling. No more words.

Clear eyes swept across the two people with different expressions, and Qingyun's lips slightly raised a devilish sneer.

"I am staying here to take care of my mother and concubine." Lin Yiwei suddenly said.

After hearing this, Sima Chun's expression was filled with joy and relief. He stepped forward and took Lin Yiwei's hand, saying in a rare and gentle manner: "Weier, thank you for your hard work!"

Without leaving any trace, Lin Yiwei took out the hand held by Sima Chun and said quietly: "It is my concubine's duty to take care of my mother and concubine. I don't dare to express my sorrow!" But she glanced at Qingyun from the corner of her eye.

Seeing Lin Yiwei's calm and quiet gaze and the bright moon standing behind her, Qingyun was thoughtful.

Instruct the guards to put Yanqing Palace under full martial law. Without her order, no one is allowed to come in or out at will until the imperial concubine recovers!

"The imperial concubine is not suffering from the epidemic!" At this time, there were only Qingyun, Mo Xuan and Lu Ba outside the closed door of Yanqing Palace.

"It's caused by drugs!"

"Someone wants to put the imperial concubine to death?"

"I think that person wanted to protect the imperial concubine. After all, there is some unrest in the capital during this period!"

"It's the person who has been hiding in secret!"

"Since he is willing to protect the imperial concubine, it can be seen that the imperial concubine is extremely important to him!" After Qingyun ordered Wuying to investigate the imperial concubine's life story, Mo Xuan asked suspiciously: "Why do you suddenly want to investigate the imperial concubine?"
