Chapter 477 God Bless You
When the servant reported this, everyone else was already stunned. It was only after hearing Xuanyuan Ling's voice that Zhao Hai reacted. He looked at Concubine Zhou who was still beside him in disbelief. Oh my God.
Xuanyuan Ling turned and left after speaking, and Shen Qing found his voice again: “Wait a moment.”
Xuanyuan Ling didn't even pause.
Shen Qing walked inside and shouted, "I'll go get some wine and clean the wound first." Disinfect first now, no matter what, it's better to disinfect early.
Xuanyuan Ling then paused.
Chen Qing went in immediately. Chunhua followed Chen Qing out, but now she was a little confused. No one could react. Even Zhao Hai was at a loss at this moment. He followed Chen Qing in, and when he got the wine, Chen Qing had already gone out by himself.
At this time, Concubine Zhou had been dragged away, and Shen Qing did not come over. She put the wine on the ground, then turned and left.
Xuanyuan Ling was relieved to see her leaving resolutely. He was afraid that she would cry. He thought she was spoiled. His Qingqing was not that kind of person. She was always clear-headed and would never cause trouble at a time like this. Zhao Hai waited for Shen Qing to enter the room. The gates of Zhaohua Palace were closed. He quickly took some wine and poured it on Xuanyuan Ling's wound.
After washing with wine, Xuanyuan Ling's hands clenched tightly due to stimulation. Zhao Hai felt very nervous. After washing the wound, the bleeding stopped. In fact, the wound was not deep. He was already praying in his heart, God bless, please don't let anything happen.
Shen Qing entered Zhaohua Palace. When the gate of Zhaohua Palace was closed, her face was already tense: "Send someone to call the imperial physician. All the people who serve the Sixth Prince and the Fifth Princess must be checked. Tell the Sixth Prince not to let him come over. Anyone who has met Concubine Zhou today will be quarantined. Notify all the palaces. The whole palace is under martial law."
The palace was actually under martial law. When Shen Qing ordered martial law, the Imperial Hospital had already arranged for everyone in the palace to take a medicinal bath, wear medicine bags, boil medicine and place it in every corner of the palace, and drink preventive medicine every day. However, they did not expect that someone would conceal their illness.
Chunhua's heart trembled. Chen Qing said decisively, and she didn't think much about it. She asked people to prepare and give orders. Chen Qing also took a medicinal bath and changed her clothes. Now she smelled the smell of medicine. She didn't know if she would be infected, but Xuanyuan Ling's injury was flashing in her mind: "The emperor will ask people to interrogate Concubine Zhou and find someone to find out the result. There is no need to be shy."
After Shen Qing gave the order, no one in the harem had expected this to happen. Everyone in the harem was in a panic. Although there was martial law before, people had been separated, and they thought it was nothing since nothing had happened. But now it was Concubine Zhou, who came to pay her respects with them today. After being shocked, they were scared. For a moment, they really cursed Concubine Zhou to death in their hearts, but there was nothing they could do. They could only pray anxiously in their hearts that they would not be infected.
At this moment, they did not know about Xuanyuan Ling's assassination, and naturally did not tell the outside world that the emperor had been assassinated. This could not be said. Those who had witnessed the assassination of Concubine Zhou before had kept it to themselves and pretended not to know. This matter was too big, but those who knew about it already felt like their heads were hanging on their necks.
Xuanyuan Ling returned to Qianyuan Palace and immediately treated the injuries. Concubine Zhou was interrogated by the servants who had already had contact with her, for fear that there was someone behind this.
At this moment, Concubine Zhou told everyone everything she knew. It was as if she had completed the last thing in her life. She was not at all reluctant to let people know the ins and outs of the matter. She even boasted a little bit about how she had put safflower in Chu Linglong's pregnancy-preserving medicine.
Zhao Hai was listening to the interrogation outside. He was dumbfounded when he heard the confession and hurried to report.
When the imperial physician learned how the injury came about, his hands began to tremble as he treated it because it was too dangerous. Even though the emperor did not show any symptoms yet, it was still too scary.
How did the plague spread? It was nothing more than being in the same room with the patient and having skin contact. Now the emperor had his hand cut by a dagger stained with pus and blood, which was not skin contact. The chance of not being infected was too small.
When Xuanyuan Ling came back, he had already drunk the medicine to prevent the plague, but he knew what was going on and asked the doctor, "Am I infected?"
The imperial physician knelt on the ground and kowtowed, but he didn't dare to say anything nonsense: "The emperor is very likely to be infected." He could only say that it depends on when the disease will break out.
Xuanyuan Ling was silent for a while: "Serve me with the writing brush and ink."
Zhao Hai's heart was beating fast. Now, no one in Qianyuan Palace dared to go out. Those who had contact with Concubine Zhou had been separated. He also drank medicine and changed clothes, but he could not rely on luck now. All of them were probably in danger.
It's not a pity that Concubine Zhou died, but she made too big a fuss about this matter. Now that this has happened, I wonder how many people in the palace will be killed by her.
After Xuanyuan Ling finished serving the pen and ink, he calmly said: "Strangle Concubine Zhou and burn her." As for her nine clans, now that his injury cannot be exposed, they will be kept for now, but there is no way they can just let it go.
Zhao Hai immediately asked someone to do it, feeling somewhat unwilling in his heart. If Concubine Zhou had not been infected with the disease, how could she have died so easily? She should have been cut into pieces for assassinating the emperor, but now it was better to just kill her and burn her, after all, he was afraid that she would infect more people.
At the same time, Shen Qing also received the confession of Concubine Zhou, and she suddenly smashed the teacup.
The servants of Zhaohua Palace knelt on the ground. No one had ever seen Shen Qing get so angry. The sky was clear, but now the entire Zhaohua Palace, no, the entire imperial palace was suddenly shrouded in a haze.
Xuanyuan Ling wrote several imperial edicts in succession, one of which was to be sent out of the palace, while others were not.
King Cheng received the imperial edict at dusk. He was puzzled, but when he saw the content of the edict, he almost knelt down on the spot. He didn't care about anything else and rushed to the palace immediately.
Obviously, they had expected this. After entering the palace, King Cheng was fully armed. He drank some medicine and then put on several medicine bags and a mask on his face. He also put on other clothes over his clothes. When he saw Xuanyuan Ling, Xuanyuan Ling was still far away from him: "No need to get close, just say this."
King Cheng knelt down immediately: "Royal brother."
Xuanyuan Ling didn't waste any words: "What I wrote in the imperial edict is what I mean. I trust you. You and I had a tacit understanding before I ascended the throne. Hongyi, if I get infected, you can't let this matter leak out, so as not to shake the people's hearts. Now the epidemic is getting better, and we can't let anything go wrong at this moment. If I... have an accident, you will work with Zhao Qian and Wang Li to control the situation immediately. For the rest, I have other arrangements, but I want you to promise to protect the imperial concubine and her son no matter what."
King Cheng had just seen the decree and rushed to the palace without stopping. He had seen Xuanyuan Ling in the morning, but within half a day, something happened to Xuanyuan Ling. He and Xuanyuan Ling had been king, minister and brother for many years, and at this moment, he felt extremely complicated. He didn't know what to say for a moment, so he could only kowtow heavily and said, "Your Majesty, I understand. Your Majesty is blessed with great fortune, and you will surely be able to turn danger into safety."
King Cheng quickly took his leave. Xuanyuan Ling watched King Cheng leave with a deep look in his eyes. That night, Xuanyuan Ling developed a high fever.
