"Grandfather, this is true." Jiaojiao said that when Gao Miao brought her home from the mass grave, there was a woman beside her. The woman was wearing an emerald jade bracelet. The whole jade bracelet was emerald green, but there were red dots as big as red beans.
Grandfather, you know about this jade bracelet."
Talking about this and recalling the sad things, Prince Zhan's eyes were covered with tears.
The old prince's lips moved for a long time before he asked, "Then why didn't you tell me? Why didn't you let Jiaojiao recognize her ancestry? You clearly know that my greatest wish is to see the palace have an heir."
Prince Zhan: "Jiaojiao said that we should wait for Gao Miaoniang to bring the jade bracelet to the capital and for her master to return. After confirming the jade bracelet, we will confirm her appearance from her master.
This is the most appropriate way to get to know each other again.
Jiaojiao said, she didn’t want you to have hope and then be disappointed in the end.
She said that your health is not good and you can't be too happy or too sad. She cares about you.
She is filial and thoughtful.
I can’t object.”
Gao Zhi was mature despite her young age. In the past, he would have thought this girl was amazing and admired her very much. But now, looking at her maturity and understanding that was not in line with her age, he could only feel distressed.
It hurts.
If a child lives a good life, she will still be a delicate little girl and will not be a sensible adult.
The old prince was silent for a while, then suddenly shouted, "Zhan Sanqi, go pick up the little princess and take her back to the palace."
Zhan Sanqi rushed in, looking confused.
"Old Prince, where is the little princess in our palace?"
"Yes! It's Gao Zhi. Go quickly and tell her that I asked her to come back."
“???” Zhan Sanqi was puzzled.
How did the young doctor become the little princess of their palace?
He knew that the old prince and the prince admired the young doctor very much. Could it be that because of this admiration, the prince wanted to adopt the young doctor as his adopted daughter?
Well, that must be the case.
Zhan Sanqi: "Yes, old prince."
Zhan Sanqi hurried to Xie's house to find Gao Zhi.
Gao Zhi didn't let him in, and asked Zhan Sanqi to go back and tell the old prince and the prince that she had to treat patients outside and would not return to the palace in the short term.
Zhan Sanqi had no choice but to return to the palace to report.
After the battle between Prince Zhan and the Old Prince, the two were extremely anxious, and the Old Prince even went there in person.
Their palace finally had an heir, and there must be no mistakes.
The old prince was also locked outside.
The old prince said earnestly, "Jiaojiao, come back with us. You can't get into trouble. I just found out today that I have a great-granddaughter.
I want to live a good life with you and watch you grow up.
This disease is too dangerous. I am worried if you stay here."
Gao Zhi stood behind the door.
"I've been in contact with patients and it's no longer safe. I can't emerge from this room and infect others.
Go back!
I am confident that I can cure this disease. Now what I need is your support, both spiritual and medicinal support.
We can't keep busy with this.
Once the source of infection is identified, we need to report to the court immediately."
Zhan Sanqi stood aside and couldn't interrupt.
The old prince still refused to give up and kept persuading her.
When Gao Miao came back from outside, the old prince seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw and anxiously asked Gao Miao to persuade Gao Zhi to return to Prince Zhan's Mansion.
"Gao Miao, please persuade Jiaojiao.
This disease is too serious, and I don’t feel comfortable leaving her with the patient.
I finally knew I had a great-granddaughter, and I couldn’t let anything happen to her, and I couldn’t let her take even the slightest risk.”
"..." Gao Miao asked: "Old Prince, who do you think Jiaojiao is to you?"
"When you brought Jiaojiao back from the mass grave, did Jiaojiao's mother have an emerald jade bracelet on her hand?
Is there a red bean-sized red spot on the bracelet? "
The old prince asked.
Gao Miao nodded: "Yes!"
The old prince raised his head and wiped his face, "This is right! It's Jiaojiao!"
Gao Miao: “…” Shocked.
The Old Prince and Prince Zhan would not acknowledge each other casually. Since they said so, it must have been confirmed.
"Gao Miao, you are our benefactor. If it weren't for you, the only descendant of our Zhan Palace would be gone.
We will definitely repay your great kindness in the future.
Now, please help me persuade Jiaojiao.
Jiaojiao, he only listens to you."
The old prince placed his hopes on Gao Miao, but he saw Gao Miao shaking his head.
"Old Prince, I'm sorry I can't do it! Jiaojiao said she can cure it, and she doesn't want to give up the patient.
As family members, we should support her instead of stopping her and letting her watch the patients who can be saved pass away one by one.
That's not right!
Somehow, Jiaojiao has met you several times. This may be God's arrangement.
I won't tell her to leave!
I will do my best to support her and prepare whatever she needs.”
Gao Miao's words woke the old prince up.
If it concerns you, there will be chaos!
He also made mistakes of principle.
His great-granddaughter is important, but there are so many patients in the capital, and they also have families. He is also very important to their families!
The old prince nodded: "I understand!"
Gao Miao bowed.
Gao Zhi's voice came from the room, "Old Prince, please help us find the source of infection as soon as possible. We must contain the source.
Otherwise, the number of patients and deaths will increase, and the consequences will be disastrous.
After finding out the source of infection, please give me some herbs and help me prepare the medicine soup in the name of Prince Zhan’s Mansion.”
This matter cannot be kept secret.
Sooner or later the court will know.
Gao Zhi thought about what Gao Miao had said about the fate of the Zhan Prince's Mansion, and she felt that she could not do nothing. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Zhan Prince's Mansion not only had to show its loyalty, but also had to stand firm and protect the people.
The old prince felt guilty and ashamed.
After living for most of his life, he became confused when he got old and did not put the safety of the people in the most important position.
"I will go back and discuss with your father immediately and conduct an interview as soon as possible."
"Old Prince, I have some progress in my investigation." Gao Miao called out to the old prince, "I have been investigating for a long time and finally found a key figure.
The imperial physician Li Ji had been ill in the Li Mansion for several days, and everyone in his mansion had caught a cold.
Their condition was like that of people with smallpox.
Before he fell ill, he came out of the palace."
"!!!" Upon hearing this, the old prince widened his eyes. He understood what this meant!
Someone in the palace had already been infected with smallpox.
The consequences are serious and we must not be negligent in the slightest.
The old prince hurried back to Prince Zhan's Mansion. After discussing with Prince Zhan, he immediately went to the palace to meet the emperor.
The Prince Zhan's Mansion voluntarily handed over the military power, and the emperor was no longer so intent on killing them.
Summon immediately.
The old prince told the emperor about the rampant smallpox in the capital, and also said that Li Ji's family, young and old, had also been infected with smallpox. He had left the palace when Li Ji was sick.
Hearing this, the emperor was shocked.
Immediately send someone to check if there are any patients with fever or chickenpox in the harem.
soon!
The palace maid brought news.
The prince has been ill for several days.
At first it was just a fever, as if he had caught a cold, but starting last night, the prince had chickenpox.
