Chapter 809 Even the Emperor is Afraid
Prince Xiao's mansion became a laughing stock in the entire capital.
Xiao Yanjing wanted to suppress this matter, but the more he suppressed it, the more it spread.
Even because he suppressed the rumor in this way, some people said that he was so anxious to suppress the rumor because his own father had cheated on him and he had completely lost face and dignity. He was afraid of being laughed at by others and was going crazy.
This kind of colored rumor spreads the fastest and is also the most bizarre.
Li Zhiyao was so obsessed with Xiao Yanjing back then that she even ruined the marriage between Xiao Yanjing and Fu Zhaoning. She also called him "Brother Xiao" all the time on the street. But only two years have passed, how come she ended up in Brother Xiao's father's bed?
"If Li Zhiyao hadn't contracted that disease this time, I guess Prince Xiao would still be in the dark."
"So, Prince Xiao's mansion is really chaotic."
"Isn't it? Fortunately, Princess Juan didn't really marry into Prince Xiao's mansion. Does this count as escaping a disaster?"
People were whispering about this everywhere in the capital, but only a few people mentioned Fu Zhaoning.
After all, Fu Zhaoning is now the Princess of Prince Jun, and everyone knows that Prince Jun is not easy to mess with. If they say more bad things about Princess Jun, who knows if Prince Jun will settle accounts with them?
Some people also mentioned another level.
"Can we see from this incident that Prince Xiao's Mansion is indeed inferior to Prince Jun's Mansion?"
"Not only that? Prince Xiao is obviously much worse than Prince Jun."
Although Xiao Yanjing is only a little younger than Prince Jun, there seems to be no comparison between the two of them. Look at Prince Jun, not only can he make Princess Jun treat him with all her heart, but the two of them can still live together peacefully even though there is the hatred of their mother's poisoning between them.
Moreover, no matter what happens, Prince Jun will always be able to protect Princess Jun.
Just to talk about this time, both Prince Jun's Mansion and Prince Xiao's Mansion suspected that someone was infected with the disease, and the Emperor asked them to close the door and refuse visitors and not come out casually.
But Prince Jun's Mansion was closed, and everything was peaceful and quiet. After a while, the Emperor didn't pay much attention to it, and Prince Jun's Concubine came out again.
But Prince Xiao’s Mansion is different.
Prince Xiao was sent to the farm, and now all the farmers are unable to enter the city.
Moreover, Prince Xiao’s mansion and Li Zhiyao have also been infected with the disease, and with rumors like this spreading, I’m afraid the situation will never get better.
"Now let's see if Dr. Li can really cure Li Zhiyao."
Many people have focused on this point as they talked.
Everyone started paying attention to Dr. Li.
If he could cure Li Zhiyao, his medical skills would be praised once again, and his reputation would at least be able to offset the scandal that his daughter had climbed into her father-in-law's bed.
Moreover, most people in the capital would probably have great faith in him and would show him some respect when they meet him. After all, everyone is afraid of getting that kind of disease.
When Doctor Li heard the rumors outside, he was so angry that his eyes went dark, and then he was so ashamed that his face was covered with blood.
Afterwards, being stared at by so many people, his pressure suddenly increased and he felt unwell.
He had only brought his daughter home for two days and had just started treating her for a cold. After all, she seemed to have caught a cold.
He hadn't even started treating the sores on his face, but the whole city was staring at him.
Now it’s not only about Li Zhiyao’s reputation and face, but also about his reputation and face.
If he can't cure it, he will lose all his face.
By then, Fu Zhaoning would have ridiculed him to death, right?
Those two maids were also annoying. They always stayed away from Li Zhiyao. They would just bring food and water to her room and she would ignore them.
Li Zhiyao was so angry that she smashed plates for two days in a row.
Later, Doctor Li threatened the two maids with a sullen face, saying that if they didn't serve their masters attentively, he would sell them to a brothel.
The two maids then began to serve her closely, crying.
The emperor also heard about what happened in Prince Xiao's mansion.
"I've already said that Prince Xiao's mansion must be guarded and no one is allowed to enter or leave. What are Divine Doctor Li and Xiao Yanjing doing——"
He frowned, feeling that he had lost his dignity. Prince Jun's Mansion was disobedient, and now Prince Xiao's Mansion is also disobedient? Who gave them the face?
If he wasn't really afraid of that disease, he would have already scolded Xiao Yanjingxuan to death by now.
"Now that Li Zhiyao has been taken back by Divine Doctor Li, let him treat her well. I also want to see if he can cure this disease!"
"Your Majesty, Princess Jun has prepared a decoction that can prevent the disease. It can be bought from the Medicine Alliance, and one bowl is ten cents." Someone came to report to the emperor.
"Ten coins for a bowl?" The emperor was moved. "Is it really effective?"
"I don't know yet, but there are many people who go to buy soup bowls, especially those who feel that they have come into contact with Prince Xiao's mansion. Everyone went to the Medicine Alliance to buy medicine, and some people even went there three times a day."
The emperor felt that the medicine Fu Zhaoning made would not be completely ineffective, but Xiao Lanyuan had not shown up yet, and even he didn't know whether Xiao Lanyuan had not been infected with the disease, or had been cured by Fu Zhaoning.
"Your Majesty, do you want to allow Princess Jun to enter the palace—" The eunuch had just asked this question when the emperor glared at him fiercely.
What kind of crappy proposal is this?
Does he dare to summon Fu Zhaoning into the palace now?
Prince Jun's Mansion is a high-risk place for contracting that disease. Who can guarantee whether they have been infected?
"Have someone pay attention to the guards who have been to Prince Jun's Mansion before, and have them drink a few bowls of wine. Keep an eye on them and see how they do afterwards."
"yes."
The emperor thought for a moment, "How is the Queen Mother doing?"
After the empress dowager returned to the palace, she called him several times, asking him to come over to talk to her, or otherwise wanted to come and talk to him, but the emperor refused all of them!
The Queen Mother has been staying in Prince Jun's Mansion for half a month. Does he dare to go?
Not only did he not dare, he also ordered people to keep a close watch on the Empress Dowager's side, and the palace servants were not to have much contact with people.
"The Queen Mother has been copying scriptures these days," said the eunuch.
Is there nothing wrong with this?
Does that mean Prince Jun really didn't get infected? That shouldn't be the case. He was clearly imprisoned in the same prison with the prisoner and spent the whole night there.
He didn't get infected, but Prince Xiao did?
"How is Prince Xiao?" the emperor asked Prince Xiao again.
"Because no one from the manor is allowed to enter the capital, and no one from Prince Xiao's mansion is allowed to contact him, we don't know how Prince Xiao's condition is now. Your Majesty, do you want me to ask someone to find out?"
The emperor glared at him again.
"You old fellow often walks before my eyes. Do you want someone to find out?"
Don’t you want to stay in this business anymore?
The eunuch quickly fell silent.
"No need to ask. If there is anything, it will eventually reach my ears." The emperor wanted to give up on Prince Xiao's condition.
No matter whether he lives or dies, just don’t bring the disease into the palace.
The business of Yaomeng can indeed be said to be booming in the past two days.
