Su Yao cried out urgently, "Miss, stop!"
He Jinran was breathing rapidly and was having trouble breathing.
After entering the house, he finally saw the girl in pink's face clearly.
For a fleeting moment, he almost forgot to breathe.
Qiu Xu had already left the house when He Jinran called out to him.
He rushed to the window and saw that He Jinran's face had turned deathly pale from being pinched. He quickly said to the girl in pink:
"let go!"
He Jinran was already choking and couldn't breathe.
Little did he know that the girl in pink would suddenly attack him.
He was only focused on confirming whether the girl in pink was indeed his sister, and never imagined that the seemingly slender girl would act in this way.
It really was beyond his expectations.
He looked at Qiu Xu with pleading eyes.
If his uncle doesn't come to his rescue, he's afraid he'll be strangled to death.
He really couldn't breathe.
Seeing that the girl in pink still wouldn't let go,
Qiu Xu suddenly thrust out one hand, a gust of wind sweeping past.
Immediately following, the girl in pink leaned back, and due to the force of Qiu Xu's palm strike, she was suddenly forced to retreat.
Just as I fell to the ground, my body felt surprisingly light.
It was He Jinran who hugged her tightly.
Are you alright?
Throughout the entire process, Su Yao's usual composed demeanor vanished.
She stepped back, not forgetting to wave to the girls and guests who kept glancing at her, and put on a smiling face.
"It's alright, it's alright, everyone, let's continue, let's continue."
He Jinran was only concerned about the girl in pink.
Suddenly, a sharp slap landed on his cheek.
He Jinran suddenly felt a burning pain on the side of her face.
He covered his cheek in pain.
"How could you be like this!" He was genuinely angry.
The girl in pink almost strangled him to death just now, and now she almost beat him to death again.
However, He Jinran's anger lasted only a moment before he tightly embraced the girl in pink, holding her close.
"Sister, it's you, it's definitely you."
Suddenly, the girl abruptly pushed him away.
"How utterly unreasonable!"
He Jinran: Where did his vigilance go?
“Little sister, I am your older brother.” He looked intently into the girl’s eyes. “Take a good look at me.”
"I don't have a brother," the girl in pink said coldly.
Suddenly, he grabbed He Jinran by the back of his collar.
Then he walked to the outside window.
He just threw it out...
Qiu Xu was startled, but his worry lasted only a moment before he vanished.
He knew that Xiao Ran's lightness skill was no less than his own.
Looking at Su Yao again, her cheeks were completely bloodless.
——————————————
Inside the palace, it was learned that Imperial Physician Liu had contracted smallpox.
He Lin originally intended to go and investigate the matter himself.
However, the Imperial Hospital was already completely isolated at this time.
Now, it's not just Physician Liu,
The other imperial physicians also lay down.
This puzzled He Lin.
He knew that his Jin'er wasn't sick.
But what exactly is going on with these imperial physicians?
At the crucial moment, he thought of Qiu Yan again.
She could tell at a glance whether these imperial physicians were faking it or not.
Instead, he went to visit Qin Hui.
The Empress's Palace
Whoosh,
Qin Hui had a bad temper. While scratching her body, she also overturned all the food on the table.
"The imperial physicians did it on purpose, on purpose!"
She went mad, and a large number of the palace maids around her knelt down, trembling with fear.
Just now, the Empress killed two palace maids with a single sentence.
Nobody wants to become the third one.
Qin Hui, however, was not usually this violent.
This time, I really couldn't take it anymore.
Ever since she returned from the Eastern Palace yesterday, she has felt completely unwell.
Last night, just as she was about to go to bed, she suddenly felt itchy and numb all over her body.
Scratching it didn't relieve the itchy, tingling sensation; instead, it made it itch even more.
At that moment, she panicked and was filled with regret.
Originally, since His Majesty frequently visited the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace, she thought that as long as she didn't come into contact with His Highness, she wouldn't get infected.
It's all her fault; she was too eager to get rid of the child.
She had the palace servants attend to her, removed her elaborate palace attire, and began to examine her body.
However, it was covered with red rashes of varying sizes.
I've been infected...
This fact was etched into her mind, something she simply couldn't accept, and she covered her face and wept bitterly.
The itching sensation has persisted until now, and it has not lessened in the slightest.
Why was His Majesty unharmed when he went to see the Crown Prince?
She had initially thought that He Jinran was faking it.
Why is he hiding under the covers and refusing to see anyone?
That's why she sent people to investigate the truth.
The conclusion was that His Highness the Crown Prince was seriously injured and lay in bed every day.
Smallpox can be fatal, but it can cause serious injury without being life-threatening.
That's why she had the thought of killing him.
Suddenly
"His Majesty has arrived!"
Qin Hui flinched.
How can she possibly meet the Emperor in her current state?
She instinctively wanted to escape, but it was too late.
He Lin had already arrived outside the palace by this time.
Qin Hui, her face covered in red rashes, bowed and greeted them.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
He Lin did not enter the hall, but only looked at Qin Hui's face from afar.
"I heard that the Empress has contracted smallpox, so I came to see you."
At this moment, He Lin understood a principle.
Never offend a doctor, otherwise, if they want to harm you, they can do so invisibly, leaving you with nothing but tears.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty," Qin Hui sobbed, tears streaming down her face, but because her body was so itchy, she couldn't help but scratch.
After grabbing him, I felt even more unbearable.
"Your Majesty, I was infected with smallpox by the Crown Prince and behaved improperly before you. I beg Your Majesty's forgiveness."
"It's alright, Your Majesty, please take care of your health." He Lin said this while observing Qin Hui's symptoms.
He knew that Jin'er had always resented him.
Now, it's my turn to vent my anger.
"Your Majesty, I can't bear it anymore! Please summon the imperial physician for me!" Qin Hui was going crazy; she was truly in unbearable pain. "Your Majesty, please save me!"
“It’s not that I’m unwilling to summon the imperial physicians for you,” He Lin said, his face showing a troubled expression, “it’s just that all the imperial physicians in the Imperial Hospital have contracted smallpox.”
"What should we do then? Your Majesty, I am worried about our child." Qin Hui was deeply troubled.
Could it be that they've all really been infected by that wild boy?
At this moment, she had already insulted He Jinran a thousand times over.
That damned brat, if he hadn't been idle and dissolute all day, and hadn't picked up some terrible disease, how could he have infected her?
The mention of the word "children" darkened He Lin's expression.
He left out a sentence,
"Your Majesty, please rest well!" He then turned to look for Consort Li.
At Consort Li's place, little Princess He Yuwei was nestled in Mayi's arms, playfully asking to be lifted high in the air.
"Mother, I want a hug."
Turning her head, she saw He Lin approaching and ran excitedly to him.
"Father, hug me."
Mayi knelt and bowed, "Greetings, Your Majesty!"
"Rise."
He Lin picked up his youngest daughter from the ground with both hands.
"Wei'er, do you miss your father?"
"I've been thinking about it. Father is so mean; he never comes to see Wei'er."
"Wei'er!" Mayi scolded her daughter. He Lin shook his head at her, after all, she was just a child and didn't understand so many rules.
