In Chengqian Palace, the study of the Fourth Prince Yinzhen, Duofu's left eye kept twitching.
Duofu looked at the Classic of Mountains and Seas in his hand, which had pictures and illustrations.
Have you been watching for too long?
A twitching left eye means good fortune, while a twitching right eye means bad luck.
His right eye is twitching; he might strike it rich soon.
It must be the Fourth Prince, Yinzhen. He'll be back soon.
I will bring him a gift.
Maybe it's gold they're sending him.
Duofu has a chubby, fleshy body.
He lay down on the Classic of Mountains and Seas, pressing the book down so that not a single corner could be seen.
Duofu twisted his body shyly; a few days ago, he could still see a little bit of it.
The food has improved recently, and his appetite has increased.
They ate more.
Their bodies became even rounder.
As Duofu's left eye twitched, his right eye started twitching too.
Dofu immediately pressed his chubby paw against his right eye.
He couldn't help but mutter to himself.
What's going on today?
My left eye twitched and my right eye twitched.
I pressed it for a while.
Duofu carefully removed its paw; good, it didn't jump again.
Duofu hadn't even had a chance to breathe a sigh of relief.
Both eyes started twitching wildly at the same time.
Duofu felt a sense of panic, a little short of breath, and his heart was pounding wildly.
His cousin was in a car accident on her way to school. By the time the ambulance arrived in time, she had been taken to the hospital for treatment.
The doctor said he almost didn't survive.
Once my cousin has recovered, I'll tell her about the moment she was hit.
She kept hearing her mother calling her name, calling it over and over.
That afternoon, my aunt did indeed inexplicably call out her daughter's name at home.
They asked why it was called that.
My aunt only replied that she felt extremely anxious and that calling her name made her feel more at ease.
Now, Duofu feels incredibly panicked, and his mouth is moving involuntarily.
"Woof woof woof, woof woof." Little dumpling, why aren't you back yet?
"Woof woof woof." Come back quickly, come back quickly.
"Woof woof." My heart was pounding.
Duofu paced anxiously around the desk. This morning, Consort Tong had inexplicably summoned the Fourth Prince, Yinzhen.
Could they be up to no good?
That shouldn't be the case, that shouldn't be the case.
Now that the Fourth Prince Yinzhen is still being raised by her, Consort Tong should not harm her.
Why is it already this late?
The Fourth Prince has not returned yet.
Before Duofu could come up with a solution, Xiao Jizi rushed into the study in a hurry.
He hurriedly picked up Duofu, stepped out, and muttered to himself.
"Something's happened, something's happened."
"Chengqian Palace is locked down; His Majesty has ordered its people to seal it off."
"I heard from people outside that the inner palace has been sealed off."
"Something big must have happened."
Why hasn't the Fourth Prince returned yet?
"My dear master, you'd better behave yourself these days."
"The Fourth Prince is unaware of the situation."
...
Upon hearing this, Duofu locked up the entire harem.
I had a feeling that something terrible was about to happen.
In ancient times, it was generally possible to have someone seal off the entire harem.
It must be a highly contagious disease.
A highly contagious disease in ancient times.
smallpox?
plague?
Epidemic?
…
Before Xiao Jizi could even get there, Duofu was carried back to the room and settled in.
Then the head palace maid of Chengqian Palace sent someone over, saying that smallpox had been discovered in Chengqian Palace.
Everyone must be excluded.
When Xiao Jizi heard about the smallpox, his hands trembled with fear. Fortunately, Duofu reacted faster and jumped to the ground.
Otherwise, even with his large frame, he wouldn't be able to withstand falling from that height of over a meter.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was watching him, Duofu hurriedly ran towards the southeast corner of Chengqian Palace.
There was a dog hole in that place, neither too big nor too small.
I don't know when it came about.
Anyway, the area is terribly desolate, and no one tends to the overgrown weeds.
They covered the hole completely.
Right behind the cave is a small garden, which is also shaded by trees.
No one has discovered it to this day.
Duofu discovered the place only because he accidentally wandered over there last time and chased after a colorful butterfly.
At that time, Duofu was chasing butterflies; he glanced at one and ran away.
Continue chasing after that peculiar butterfly.
After turning into a puppy, Duofu developed a love for chasing butterflies and grasshoppers.
When I see those things moving, I can't help but spread my legs and try to catch them.
Thanks to these extra exercises, Duofu always felt like he was growing, because his muscles weren't just muscular.
These are all the results of his training.
Duofu ran very fast on its four paws, and its originally delicate paws had turned a little red.
As he got closer and closer to the cave entrance, Duofu grew increasingly anxious.
It stuffed itself into the pile of weeds and struggled to climb forward.
When Duofu climbed to the cave entrance, his once pure white fur was now covered in patches of black and purple, and a withered leaf was still on his head.
Having climbed out of Chengqian Palace, Duofu now doesn't know where to go.
All he knew was that the Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, was attending his father's birthday party today.
Where is it located?
He knew nothing about it.
Moreover, even if he found the Fourth Prince Yinzhen now, he wouldn't be of much help.
...
what to do?
what to do?
Duofu now truly feels the truth of the saying, "You only realize how little you know when you need it."
He had absolutely no idea what to do about it.
Smallpox.
These two words suddenly popped into my head.
Duofu wasn't sure if it would work now, so he could only try anything as a last resort.
