Chapter 289 The epidemic has started killing people!
Ran Xiaoyu said, "I can't explain it, but don't you think it's strange? We just had an 'epidemic', and then a real epidemic broke out."
After hearing this, Nan Yan frowned.
She said, "Don't tell me, I'm really worried that we'll be investigated."
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Doctor Chen coming in from outside with a few young eunuchs. Two of the young eunuchs took out a few crying palace maids.
Doctor Chen came over and said to Nan Yan politely, "Excuse me, Madam Secretary."
Nan Yan hurriedly asked, "Imperial Physician, what's going on?"
Doctor Chen glanced back at the weeping maids and said, "They've all been to Yanxi Palace and Jianfu Palace. They've all been diagnosed with rashes and confirmed to be infected, so they need to be taken elsewhere."
"oh."
Nan Yan nodded.
When she looked up, she saw Doctor Chen looking at her with a slightly frown.
She asked softly, "What's wrong with the doctor?"
“…”
Suddenly she thought of something, and her heart skipped a beat: "You, you don't think I—"
Ran Xiaoyu also turned around and looked at them.
Doctor Chen sighed and said, "Don't panic, Lady Si. As far as we know, you are the first person in the harem to fall ill and have a fever, so—"
Nan Yan was anxious: "But I fell ill because I fell into cold water and caught a cold."
“…”
"I'm not infected with the disease."
“…”
"Doctor, you've been here these past few days. You know I don't have a rash on my body, and I haven't been to Jianfu Palace or Yanxi Palace."
Doctor Chen was silent for a moment, then said, "But Concubine Du and her maids have both been to your room."
“…”
Nan Yan's throat suddenly choked.
Ran Xiaoyu next to him also frowned: "Does this count?"
"We still don't quite understand how the disease occurred and how it spread."
“…”
"However, for the sake of caution, please forgive me."
Nan Yan swallowed and said, "Are you going to take me to the same place as them?"
Doctor Chen said, "The Empress has instructed that the ladies-in-waiting do not need to move and remain in this room. However, they should not go anywhere else for the time being. We will make a decision after the epidemic is under control or the truth is revealed."
“…”
"Excuse me."
After saying that, he pulled Ran Xiaoyu out and asked her to live in the next room, and the door of this room was locked.
Nan Yan was anxious and hurried to the window, saying, "But I am a female official of the Shangbao Palace, and I am in charge of the seal!"
Doctor Chen said, "The Emperor has handed this matter over to the Empress for investigation."
"What about the Emperor and the others?"
"There is an epidemic in the harem. To protect his health, the emperor will not come to the harem for the time being."
Nan Yan's heart sank.
At this moment, a young eunuch rushed in from outside, his face pale and said, "Doctor Chen, there's something wrong in Jianfu Palace, you should go and take a look."
Doctor Chen hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
"Zhen'er, the maidservant beside Concubine Du, has passed away."
"What?!"
Doctor Chen was startled and immediately walked out without looking back.
Nan Yan stood at the window, watching their hurriedly disappearing backs. After a while, she raised her head and met Ran Xiaoyu's pale face and frightened eyes.
