Chapter 290 Don’t Let Her Contact the Emperor
Imperial Physician Chen hurried to Jianfu Palace, and another Imperial Physician, Wei, was also there. He frowned as he looked at the pale corpse on the bed.
As soon as Doctor Chen walked in and saw the corpse, his expression became the same as the corpse's.
He trembled and said, "Or...dead?"
Doctor Wei said, "He convulsed for a while before he died, and vomited out all the medicine he had taken."
"It seems that the medicine we prepared is not effective."
"But we follow the medical books—"
"There's no record of such an epidemic in medical books."
Both of them fell silent.
At this time, Xu Miaoyin came in from outside with her companions. When the two imperial doctors saw her, they knelt down hurriedly and said, "Your Majesty the Queen."
Xu Miaoyin had of course heard the news and came over. She turned around and looked at the body on the bed, her brows immediately furrowed. The palace maid Chun'er behind her hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, this room is no longer clean. You'd better not enter."
Doctor Chen also said, "Yes, Your Majesty."
“…”
Xu Miaoyin was silent for a moment, left the servant's room, and then walked to the side hall of Jianfu Palace and sat down. The two imperial doctors stood in front of her.
Xu Miaoyin said, "What's going on? Tell me."
The two doctors exchanged bewildered glances, and Doctor Chen stepped forward, lowering his head and saying, "Your Majesty, this epidemic is indeed strange. I have searched through all the medical books in the Imperial Hospital and have found no record of it."
Xu Miaoyin frowned and immediately said, "So, the medicine you made is completely ineffective."
Her words made both doctors break out in cold sweats.
After a while, he said softly, "Your subordinates and I are incompetent."
Xu Miaoyin said with a sullen face, "I don't care if it's recorded in medical books or what methods you use, but no more casualties."
“…”
"Otherwise, I will not be able to explain to the Emperor—"
“…”
"You are the only ones left to explain."
When the two heard this, their faces turned pale.
Xu Miaoyin then stood up and was about to walk out when she suddenly remembered something. She stopped and turned around and asked, "Doctor Chen, have you checked at the Ye Ting?"
Doctor Chen hurriedly said, "All the palace maids found to be infected with the disease have been sent to the cold palace."
"Then...where is Si Nanyan?"
"Lady-in-law, according to the Queen's orders, just lock her up in the room."
"I'm asking about her condition."
Doctor Chen stepped forward and said, "Although Lady Si was the first person in the palace to catch a cold and develop a fever, from the symptoms I've seen her have not shown any rash. When I visited her today, her fever had almost subsided."
“…”
"She doesn't look like someone who's been infected with the disease."
“…”
Xu Miaoyin was silent for a while, then said, "We still need to be cautious about this matter."
“…”
"Don't let her out until the epidemic is under control, and don't let her come into contact with the emperor."
Doctor Chen hurriedly said, "Yes."
Only then did Xu Miaoyin walk out of the door of the side hall.
A cold wind blew through the courtyard, carrying the withered yellow leaves, making a rustling sound.
This Jianfu Palace was originally for Concubine Du to live in. When the emperor favored her, it was full of vitality and even bustling. But after a few days, Concubine Du was confined to her house. Now she fell ill and one of the palace maids also died.
Few people come here, and even the flowers and plants in the flower beds are not taken care of. In addition, it is winter now, and most of them have turned yellow.
A heavy aura of death spread throughout the palace.
Xu Miaoyin walked out without looking back.
