Ning Wanyin said in a deep voice, "Investigate all the people they have come into contact with, and seal off the house they live in immediately."
"The cold palace will be divided into two from now on. The East Garden will still be inhabited by the deposed concubine. The West Garden will be sealed off by the Guards. Concubine Dowager De and others will be sent to the cold palace. No one is allowed to approach."
"The concubines living with us will be accommodated in another palace."
Nowadays, the only place in the harem that can accommodate multiple people and is far away from human habitation is the cold palace.
Lian Rui accepted the order and said, "Yes."
The palaces of the concubines were checked first.
Except for Concubine Dowager De, no other concubines have been infected with the disease.
After a while, the twenty-four departments of the Ministry of Internal Affairs also completed the investigation.
Pengqi stepped forward to report, "Your Majesty, two palace servants in the Foreign Affairs Bureau have been infected with the disease. They went out of the palace to buy things this morning."
"They were all sent to the cold palace." Ning Wanyin said.
Holding the chess piece, he went down to make arrangements.
At dusk.
Check the entire harem.
Ning Wanyin's temporary defensive palace rules were also written.
At present, only a few people have been infected, and these people have not come into contact with many people, so the situation is still easy to control.
And Ning Wanyin also knew...
The most difficult thing is not to find out the infected people, but how to prevent new patients from appearing in the palace.
"Lianrui, pass this palace rule around. From now on, the harem will implement it. Anyone who violates it will be sent to the Criminal Justice Department." Ning Wanyin ordered.
Lian Rui took the booklet and left.
…
Shuyu Garden.
Xiao Yunyao sat in front of the piano, feeling sad. The double blow of having her power taken away from her and the emperor's love for Ning Wanyin was a heart-wrenching blow.
She reached out and stroked the strings of the Luqiqin, and tears fell sadly.
Su Xian quickly comforted him:
"Master, this is actually a good thing. Over the years, which plague has not caused countless deaths and injuries? The imperial palace is certainly not immune. You stay in Shuyu Garden and don't need to go out, so you won't get sick. This is also a kind of protection from His Majesty!"
Xiao Yunyao knew that this was not the case, but only by deceiving herself could she feel better: "You are right. Now that the epidemic is raging, Ning Wanyin is in charge of the six palaces alone. If anything happens, it is her fault."
Thinking of this, Xiao Yunyao gradually cheered up.
She looked at Su Xian with a cold look in her eyes:
"If we can get something used by an infected person and give it to the maids in Yonghe Palace... Suxian, send someone to inquire outside..."
Suxian obeyed the order.
After a while, Su Xian came back with a booklet in her hand, her expression very complicated.
These are the new palace rules copied by the palace maids and distributed to each palace.
"Master, Yonghe Palace sent people to distribute this booklet to each palace..." Suxian presented the booklet.
Xiao Yunyao took it and turned to the first page. Her confident expression froze in an instant.
Palace rules for plague defense:
First, no one is allowed to enter the Cold Palace West Garden. Anyone who disobeys will be sent to the Criminal Court.
Second, no one is allowed to approach the forbidden area. Anyone who disobeys will be sent to the prison.
Note: The place where the infected people lived and passed by was sealed off by the Weilinsi for three days, and no one was allowed to approach. (According to the investigation of the imperial physician, things contaminated with the plague will be cleaned within three days.)
Third, each palace and each department will review it every five days. If anyone refuses to comply, he will be sent to the Criminal Justice Department.
Fourth, from now on, all purchases for the palace will be coordinated by the Foreign Affairs Supervisor until the epidemic is over. Anyone who disobeys will be sent to the Criminal Justice Department.
Fifth, the imperial physicians who entered the palace to diagnose pulses had to check all the herbs, silver needles, medicine boxes, etc. If there was any suspicious person, he would be sent to the Criminal Justice Department.
Sixth, all purchased items were placed in a dense net in the lake and soaked for a day. If anyone was hiding, he would be sent to the prison.
…
Three hundred in total.
Every sentence ends with: send to the prison.
Xiao Yunyao's face turned pale. What do you mean by epidemic prevention palace rules? You should just call them prison palace rules!
These palace rules are very detailed.
Whether it was the palace maids or the imperial doctors who came in and out to treat patients, they checked from head to toe.
The patients in the cold palace are sealed off in three layers inside and three layers outside.
After the imperial physician went in fully armed to see the patient, he had to bathe, change clothes, and soak in the pool for an hour when he came out.
That's simply...
Every method you can think of to spread the plague has been blocked.
Xiao Yunyao threw the booklet on the ground, her face looking extremely ugly. She wanted to find something contaminated with the plague to bring in, but she found that things were not as easy as she thought.
…
In the Cining Palace.
Liu Zhen reported the situation outside: "...Everything is safe at the moment, but Concubine Dowager De has been sent to the cold palace."
Concubine Dowager De was the elder sister of Empress Dowager Xue.
When Empress Dowager Xue heard that Concubine De was sent to the cold palace, she frowned.
"Call the Concubine Chen over here."
The palace did not always send sick concubines to the cold palace.
Some were left sealed in the original palace.
Now that Ning Wanyin has relocated the other concubines who lived with her to other places, why can't Concubine De live in the original Cunsi Palace? Why must she be sent to the cold palace?
This is obviously a case of personal revenge!
Ning Wanyin entered the Cining Palace and bowed, "I pay my respects to the Empress Dowager."
"I heard that you sent Concubine De to the cold palace. Shouldn't Cunsi Palace be empty?" Empress Dowager Xue questioned directly.
If Ning Wanyin treated things unfairly, she, as the queen mother, could naturally reprimand her.
"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, all of this is out of consideration for the safety of the Empress Dowager and the concubines." Ning Wanyin replied.
Queen Mother Xue raised her eyebrows, "Then tell me, how do you consider me?"
Ning Wanyin cooperated with her and explained:
"I consider that the Cunsi Palace is close to the Cining Palace and the palaces where the concubines live. If the filthy things delivered every day accidentally drip and splash into the flowers on the road and are touched by the maids of the Empress Dowager and the concubines, the epidemic will definitely spread..."
