"That boy, Sun Yuancheng, is your and the prince's godson, and you and the prince have always been very kind to him. When you and the prince were sick, he didn't ask about your well-being. Does he still have a conscience?
If I find out, I will break his legs."
Princess Yongchun did not feel any reluctance to give her son to her best friend. Her best friend was willing to love and protect him, and Princess Yongchun was only happy.
Princess Yongchun felt that her friend was so good to her, and it would be useless to say that she didn't express her gratitude for such a great favor. She could only keep this favor in her heart and repay it when she had the chance in the future.
Zhou Qiongyue was quite pleased with Princess Yongchun's attitude. Good deeds are good deeds, but it's best if someone appreciates them.
Zhou Qiongyue finally reminded her friend, "I haven't told anyone about this. Your Highness, please keep it a secret! I didn't invent the cowpox virus. It was a miracle doctor that the prince hired in exchange for a favor from his great uncle.
There's no way to treat someone who's already had smallpox; they need to be vaccinated in advance. So I can't help other people with their problems either."
Yongchun wasn't the greedy or confused type. As long as her son was alright, she was satisfied. As for the others, their lives and deaths were left to fate. "Don't worry, I won't even tell my husband. Those brats won't know, right?"
Zhou Qiongyue wasn't sure about this, especially since Yuan Chaokang was so smart. She wasn't sure if he knew. "They probably didn't know. They all thought they had a cold."
Seeing her friend's thoughtfulness, Princess Yongchun immediately put on a sad and anxious expression: "Okay, let's go to the palace together!"
Princess Yongchun felt that she still had to go to the palace. Cheng'er and Chang'er had both gotten into trouble, and it would seem too fake if she and Zhou Qiongyue didn't go to the palace.
Besides, the eldest prince had already contracted smallpox, and the queen was desperate and trying every possible means to cure his illness. She couldn't let anyone notice that there was something abnormal between the two of them.
Zhou Qiongyue also stood up, smoothed her clothes and her hair, and shouted outside in panic, "Gulan, quickly call Gumei and come into the palace with me, the princess. Hurry!"
When Gulan heard the princess's panicked voice and thought that the prince had not returned yet, he responded to the princess and ran to where Gumei lived.
Zhou Qiongyue and Princess Yongchun did not choose the carriage in the end, and also rode horses to the palace.
When Zhou Qiongyue and Princess Yongchun arrived, the emperor was discussing with his son-in-law and Yuan Bohua about moving the eldest prince and his companions to a farm outside the city.
The Emperor was also afraid that the eldest prince would infect everyone in the palace if he stayed there. He also didn't dare move the prince to the Royal Villa, as the Empress Dowager lived there!
Who wouldn't be afraid of smallpox? The emperor was even more terrified.
The son-in-law and Yuan Bohua were arguing with each other. The son-in-law Sun Changkun felt that his son Cheng had no symptoms yet and might not have been infected.
If he moved to the same farm with the eldest prince, the prince consort would be afraid that his later sons would be infected, and there would be no reason for him to regret it.
This is his and the princess's only child. If anything happens to him, how will he and the princess live?
Yuan Bohua knew that Chang'er and Cheng'er should be fine, so he couldn't let these two children mix with the eldest prince.
If everyone around the eldest prince is infected, but the two of them aren't, it will arouse even more suspicion. They must be separated now.
When Sun Fu Ma and Yuan Bo Hua were in a stalemate with the emperor, Eunuch Hou came up to report, "Princess Yongchun and Princess Fu'an are here."
Eunuch Hou was now a little intimidated by Princess Fu'an. As soon as he saw Princess Fu'an had arrived, he immediately came in to report.
This was a ruthless man who even dared to move the emperor's favorite collection back to the palace with a smile. He was not someone a eunuch like him could afford to offend.
The emperor rubbed his brows. Although he had expected his cousin to come, he still felt a little headache when she really came. "Come in!"
Princess Yongchun and Zhou Qiongyue hurriedly saluted as soon as they entered, "Your Majesty, your humble servants pay their respects to the Emperor."
The emperor rarely saw the two in such a state of distress, and he was puzzled. "Aren't those two children still showing no symptoms?" He couldn't help but ask, "What happened to you two?"
Zhou Qiongyue quickly bowed and apologized, "Cousin, we're fine. We just heard that Chang'er and Cheng'er were in trouble, so I and Her Royal Highness the Princess rode here. It's unavoidable that my appearance is a little untidy, so please don't bother with us, cousin."
How is the eldest prince? How are Chang'er and Cheng'er? "
When the emperor saw Zhou Qiongyue calling him cousin again, he knew she was really anxious. If she wasn't anxious, this cousin would always respectfully call him "Emperor".
When this cousin was in a good mood, she would call him "Emperor Cousin". He hadn't heard someone call him "cousin" directly for a long time.
The emperor's tone softened, "Don't worry, my two sisters. Chang'er and Cheng'er haven't shown any symptoms yet, but the eldest prince has a fever.
I plan to move them all to the imperial farm outside the city, and then send a unified imperial physician to treat and serve them."
Zhou Qiongyue did not immediately refute the emperor's words. Instead, she asked, "Cousin, which imperial manor are you planning to place them in?"
The emperor had no intention of hiding it from Yongchun and his cousin. He said directly, "It's Lingfeng Manor. There are mountains nearby and not many people. We don't have to worry about it spreading."
Zhou Qiongyue turned to look at Princess Yongchun: "I remember that Your Highness has a farm nearby?"
"Yes, I have a farm there, right next to the imperial farm. It was given to me by my father. My royal brother, please let Cheng'er and Chang'er live in my farm!"
You can send troops to surround them. My sister and I only have one child, Cheng'er."
Princess Yongchun cried as she spoke, and the key point was that she pronounced the words clearly. Zhou Qiongyue, who was standing beside her, was extremely impressed.
Zhou Qiongyue also cried out: "Cousin, I only have...only Yuan Chaochang as my only useful son!"
As for Yuan Chaokang, who was kneeling beside them, Zhou Qiongyue said that he was just a playboy and could not support the Prince's Mansion. Their Fu'an Prince's Mansion would still rely on their son Yuan Chaochang in the future.
When Yongchun and Zhou Qiongyue cried, the emperor suddenly felt as if hundreds of ducks were howling in his ears:
"Yongchun/Shuxian, what are you doing? The imperial farm is quite large. Even if you live on the same farm with the eldest prince, you are not in the same courtyard. You..."
Zhou Qiongyue quickly replied, "Cousin, I'm worried something might happen to Chang'er, and I want to go in and accompany him. So I don't want to go into the imperial farm, and I can't command the people there."
"no!"
When the Emperor, Yuan Bohua, Princess Yongchun, and Yuan Chaokang heard Zhou Qiongyue say this, they all said no in unison.
Kneeling on the ground, Sun Changkun: So what should I say?
Sun Changkun actually wanted to go and look after his son. He reacted quickly and said, "Princess Fu'an is a woman after all. I'll go!"
