"Rushuang and I just talked about this issue. What I mean is that it doesn't hurt to wait for a while. She doesn't have much time now. She won't notice anything in another month. Everything will be normal and there won't be any problems. What do you think?"
"Okay, since that's what my sister means, let's wait a little longer."
"Okay, don't be unhappy. The conditions here are a little worse, but I promise that I can't pick the moon from the sky, but it's no problem to keep you plump and white."
Phew…
Bai Rushuang burst into laughter and said, "I'm not that fat... my son will definitely be white and plump!"
"By the way, how do you know it's your son?"
"Ah? That's what I guessed, isn't it because of what you said..."
"Haha, I was just guessing, but I believe our Rushuang must have given birth to a son!"
"Look how beautiful you are..."
Bai Rushuang decided not to leave for the time being. All her worries disappeared and she started talking. The three of them chatted with each other and the scene was full of joy.
…
Three days later.
Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Liu Xian's illness has recovered and he is now reviewing memorials.
"Your Majesty, it's bad. News has come from outside the palace that the Sixth Prince has contracted smallpox... Someone from Shouning Palace just reported it. When the Empress heard the news, she fainted on the spot..."
"What? How could Jing'er get smallpox..."
Upon hearing this, Liu Xian dropped the memorial in his hand. He was reading a report on the smallpox problem. Smallpox was raging in Qinglong Town and was on the verge of being out of control. Once it spread, it would be a catastrophe.
All nine gates of the capital were closed, so how could a case suddenly appear, and it was his own son? Was God really sending down a disaster?
Thinking of this, Liu Xian felt dizzy and his heart tightened...
Seeing Liu Xian's pale face, Cao Zhengchun quickly stepped forward to support him and said in panic:
"Your Majesty, are you alright...
I will summon the imperial physician right away."
Liu Xian covered his face with one hand, then waved his hand and said weakly: "I'm fine, I'll be fine in a while, don't worry, the sky won't fall!"
Cao Zhengchun quickly picked up the tea on the dragon table and asked Liu Xian to drink a few sips...
After a long while, Liu Xian let out a long sigh and his face regained some color.
"Daban, send someone out of the palace to investigate immediately to see if Shuntian Prefecture deliberately concealed the truth. How could Jing'er suddenly get smallpox? If Shuntian Prefecture dares to conceal even a little, you don't need to report to me, you will be torn into pieces."
"Your Majesty, please calm down and don't let your anger get to you anymore. There's no point in getting anxious. I've already sent people out of the palace and also ordered the palace gates to be closed...
It was reported that the Sixth Prince had contracted smallpox from his housekeeper. The housekeeper had returned to Qinglong Town to visit relatives a few days ago and showed symptoms only one day earlier than the Sixth Prince. Now several servants in the Sixth Prince's house have been infected. However, the Sixth Prince is the son of His Majesty after all. At this moment, no one is allowed to enter or leave the palace, and the people of Shuntian Prefecture have also sent servants to guard the periphery. "
"Okay, Jing'er is quite sensible this time. Instruct the palaces not to move around casually. If any symptoms are found, take immediate measures. Oh, and the Crown Prince must be given extra care and protection...
Also, Jing'er must do his best to treat me. I only have this much blood, and there can't be any mistakes no matter what."
"Your Majesty, rest assured. The Sixth Prince is a man of good fortune. I believe there will be no problem."
Cao Zhengchun's heart was in his throat. He kept comforting Liu Xian from behind and silently prayed to himself that the situation in the capital must not get worse, otherwise His Majesty might not be able to get over this.
"Oh, Otomo, now that smallpox has become so serious, I have ordered all the counties near the capital to do a good job of prevention and control, and to reduce the movement of people as much as possible. Also, a notice should be posted nationwide to recruit talented doctors and experts to contribute to the country.
Anyone who can find a way to stop this disaster will be rewarded handsomely..."
Liu Xian initially thought positively and did not publicize it to avoid causing widespread panic, but now he has to take action given the situation.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will do it immediately."
…
Soon, the news of the smallpox outbreak spread to every corner of the palace, even the rats knew about it.
Xing Bang naturally knew the news. Smallpox was nothing on Blue Star, but he knew how terrible it was in this world. Fortunately, he didn't let Bai Rushuang leave the palace. Relatively speaking, the palace was safer, and it was safer for her to stay by his side...
Smallpox? The Sixth Prince...
After hearing the news, Xing Bang sensed a great opportunity. This was a great chance to make a big splash and he definitely couldn't miss it.
That’s right, Xing Bang already had a way to turn the tide in his mind, and no one else in the world would know the method he had thought of.
He also knew that Liu Xian had issued an edict to recruit talents from all over the country, but it was useless and all in vain...
Xing Bang was not in a hurry to take action. He probably understood the epidemic situation and knew it was not out of control yet. He wanted to wait until Liu Xian became extremely anxious before taking action. That way, the merit would be even greater...
As for the Sixth Prince, I believe he will not die for a while. If he cannot hold on until I can take action, that is his fate. Moreover, if he really dies, the current situation will be different.
To be honest, Xing Bang didn't care about the Sixth Prince's life. The only thing that could comfort him was that after the Sixth Prince died, he would take good care of his mother, Queen Xiao.
Don't worry, I will never let her get bullied...
Xing Bang was not panicked at all. There were no symptoms of smallpox in the palace. The prince was well protected, and Madam Fanghua naturally had nothing to worry about. The torture chamber was as peaceful as ever.
Xing Bang also heard about Empress Xiao's fainting. This was normal. Liu Xian would not let her leave the palace to visit him, so she had to suffer some hardship.
If your son is not destined to die, then after this incident, you will definitely be more grateful to me and may even pledge your love to me...
Another three days passed.
A riot broke out directly in Qinglong Town, and the disease began to spread to the surrounding counties and prefectures. The number of cases in the capital city increased day by day. Only the imperial palace remained relatively stable.
Liu Xian was so anxious that he vomited blood and almost died...
The first thing he said after waking up was, "I will send an order to all parts of the country. If anyone can share my worries, it won't be too much to make them kings of the opposite sex..."
The news quickly spread throughout the world. The meat was a bit fatty, but who had the courage to eat it?
If you reveal the imperial edict but don't have the ability, you will lose your head...
A king with a different surname?
Xing Bang laughed. As a eunuch, he could not become a king of a different surname. However, Liu Xian was determined and the time to act had come...
