Chapter 62 What to do, we are going to get smallpox

"Let it go."

Shen Jing'an coldly withdrew his gaze from Concubine Xian's face and said to the eunuchs who were holding rats.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say, but I don't know if I should say it or not."

The Taifu stepped forward, raised his hands and bowed, his expression stern.

The eunuchs holding the rats' hands slapped again.

Shen Jing'an glanced at the Taifu, his teacher in his childhood.

More than ten years have passed in a flash. He has a cold personality and speaks very little. He did not communicate much with the Taifu when he was a child, so the relationship was not deep, but it was not too distant.

It's just that, I don't know when, the Taifu no longer had the same admiration for him as before, but instead became more and more disappointed.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems to be not long after Concubine Xian married him.

Maybe he was disappointed in himself because he failed to show favor to Concubine Xian.

But after all, he was his mentor and he always had a friendship in his heart.

It was for this reason that he tolerated Concubine Xian.

He didn't want to call the tutor today, but if he didn't, how would the tutor know what his daughter had become?

He didn't want to be accused of being cold-blooded.

"Go ahead."

Shen Jing'an finally agreed to his words.

"I have the courage to ask the emperor, is what Concubine Xian said true?"

The tutor looked directly into Shen Jing'an's eyes, his old face firm and dignified.

This was the first time he looked directly into Shen Jing'an's eyes after he ascended the throne, and he showed the aura of a tutor and Shen Jing'an's mentor.

Only with this identity could he dare to look Shen Jing'an in the eye.

"It is exactly as it says, but the deeper meaning of Concubine Xian's words is just a trick. If the Grand Tutor thinks that I am unfair to Concubine Xian, you can wait for the verification result of this dress."

"Or, wait until I bring Concubine Xian's adulterer to you."

Adulterer!

The Grand Tutor's face turned pale, his old body swayed, and he took several steps back with weak steps.

At Shen Jing'an's signal, Eunuch Hong supported him appropriately. Concubine

Xian had the same expression as the Grand Tutor, and she was even trembling.

So, so, did the emperor know it?

No, it's impossible. The emperor must have said this on purpose. He just wanted to confuse himself so that he could confess everything.

Yes, it must be like this, it must be like this...

Thinking of this, Concubine Xian clenched her hands, staring at Shen Jing'an's feet motionlessly, with a cold air in her eyes.

Shen Jing'an, you are going to die sooner or later, why don't you die earlier, why do you have to force me to do it!

This is all your own fault, you can't blame me, and you have no right to blame me.

It was you who married but didn't take responsibility first.

So, it's all your fault, all your fault.

"Your Majesty, the rat has fallen down."

The white-bearded pharmacist exclaimed, and everyone's eyes immediately fell on the group of rats.

"This is really poisonous, but they didn't even chew it, they just licked it. What kind of poison is it that is so strong?"

Stunned, the old pharmacist caught the mouse and checked it. He found that the mouse was just in a coma and did not die on the spot. It was also hot all over and had a red rash.

"This... Why does it look so much like smallpox!"

The old pharmacist's eyes widened suddenly.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone standing nearby scattered and covered their mouths tightly. Then they realized that they had just touched the clothes, and immediately put their hands down, panicking.

"What should we do? We are going to get smallpox!"

"It's over, it's over, this Concubine Xian is actually harming us."

"What, smallpox?"

Concubine Xian's pupils were also shocked and she stood up suddenly. "How is this possible?"

Could it be that the cloth that Prince Yu found for her was taken from a smallpox patient

? She had just heard that smallpox broke out in a neighboring country not long ago. Could it be that Prince Yu got the cloth from there? Then wouldn't she be...

No, if it was really smallpox, wouldn't she have been infected long ago

? Even Shen Jing'an's expression became solemn.

He was careless. He only asked people to keep an eye on Concubine Xian to see if she had tampered with her clothes, but forgot to check the source of the cloth.

"Cough cough..."

Perhaps because he was anxious, Shen Jing'an suddenly coughed violently.

"Eunuch Hong, hurry up..."

"Don't panic, Your Majesty, this can't be smallpox."

Shen Jing'an was about to order Eunuch Hong to isolate everyone for inspection, but his hand was held by Lin You's soft little hand, which patted and soothed him gently.

His amber eyes were stunned for a moment, but the little woman winked at him, "Smallpox can only be transmitted from person to person, not from animal to animal, so don't panic."

Hearing this, everyone was stunned and looked at each other, "Yes, smallpox can only be transmitted from person to person, not from animal to animal!"

"Yes, how can smallpox be transmitted from animal to animal?" " It

's just a false alarm, just a false alarm!"

Everyone said one thing after another, trying their best to soothe the frightened heart.

After slowing down, everyone's eyes suddenly fell on the old pharmacist, and everyone gritted their teeth.

"Hehe..."

The old pharmacist laughed dryly, "I just said it was a resemblance, not a confirmed diagnosis. You didn't listen carefully and got scared."

Everyone, "..."

As he was laughing, the old pharmacist's eyes met Shen Jingan's cold eyes. His legs suddenly softened and he knelt on the ground with a thud.

"I am guilty, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

This kneeling almost broke the old pharmacist's kneecap, but he didn't dare to cry out in pain.

"In fact, even if there is smallpox, we

don't have to be afraid." Lin You ate a fruit and said slowly.

As soon as these words came out, the people who were still frightened looked at Lin You.

Lin You blinked, [Why are you all looking at me like this? I am telling the truth! ]

"Haha, you are really talking nonsense."

Pharmacist Gao sneered.

Then he received a cold look from the young emperor next to Lin You. Pharmacist Gao closed his mouth instantly and knelt down with a plop.

Lin You's mouth twitched a little.

[Are these people's knees made of iron? They kneel down at every turn! ]

"Xianfei, how do you explain the matter of this dress?"

After seeing that everyone's condition had recovered, Shen Jing'an got back to the point.

Concubine Xian's scalp went numb, and she kowtowed heavily to the floor. "I don't know, I am innocent, someone must have deliberately framed me."

"My father taught me the Three Obediences and Four Virtues since I was a child. I have always kept them in mind and never dared to go beyond them. How could I do this? How could I have the courage to do such a thing to harm the emperor!"

As she spoke, she kowtowed vigorously.

[Tsk, is this to make herself faint so as to avoid being held accountable!]

"Eunuch Hong, bring up the person who was having an affair with Concubine Xian."

Shen Jing'an ignored Concubine Xian's excuses and gave the order. Concubine Xian, who was about to faint, suddenly widened her eyes and turned her head to look towards the door.

After a while, she saw her lover being escorted in, and Concubine Xian immediately collapsed to the ground.
