"The old woman seemed frightened as well, and she fell to the ground, unable to get up, and also sprained her ankle. The Second and Third Princes were kind-hearted and helped the elderly woman to a nearby clinic for treatment."
At that time, he and Xiao Kangzi originally wanted to help, but the old lady avoided them.
"Later, to thank the two princes for their help, the old lady gave each of them a purse. It was said that the purse was embroidered by the old lady herself. She said she wanted to sell it outside, but she didn't sell all of it, so she gave the remaining two purses to the second and third princes."
After saying this, Xiao Guizi's heart was beating fast. Could it be that the smallpox of these two princes was really related to that old lady?
Wen Mianmian grasped the key point of the eunuch's words and immediately asked anxiously, "Purse, where are the purses that the Second Prince and the Third Prince took?"
"The purse was put away by my servant last night, and it is now in there." Xiao Guizi was not stupid and knew what the concubine meant. She immediately ran in and took out the purse that the second and third princes had taken back from the old lady yesterday.
Fearing that the two purses were the source of smallpox infection, Xiao Guizi took off her hat and placed the purses inside.
Then he took it out. Seeing this, Wen Mianmian quickly asked the court doctor to check whether this thing was a source of infection.
The court physician was working with the imperial physician who had just arrived to develop a prescription for treating the two princes. Upon hearing the concubine's instructions, he hurried over, and even the imperial physician put down the prescription in his hand and came over.
The two imperial doctors picked up the two purses with handkerchiefs and examined them carefully. Finally, after accurate diagnosis, they determined that the two purses were the source of smallpox infection.
"Doctor, are you sure?" Wen Mianmian's face turned very ugly. It seemed that Xuanxuan and Chenchen had been tricked by someone.
"I am sure." The imperial physician's tone was very certain.
"Put your things away and try not to let anyone touch them."
Wen Mianmian was worried that if this thing was touched by someone else, they would be infected with smallpox. Fortunately, the two eunuchs who served Xuanxuan and Chenchen before had had smallpox when they were young, so Wen Mianmian was not worried about them.
However, smallpox is a highly contagious disease. The reason why the two purses were not destroyed immediately was because Wen Mianmian wanted to find out who was behind the incident. Now she didn't know who did it, so she could only rely on these two purses.
"It's bad, Concubine, the eldest prince has also started to have a fever, and several servants in the courtyard have also begun to show signs of fever." A young eunuch reported loudly from outside.
"What?"
Wen Mianmian quickly ordered people to seal off all the courtyards here, and also ordered people to send the eldest princess, the second princess and the quadruplets to a safe place. Nanny Song had already arranged all these things at the first opportunity.
We also asked other imperial doctors to come and check on them, but they found nothing abnormal so far.
Wen Mianmian breathed a sigh of relief, then quickly walked to the eldest prince's courtyard. The court physician and the imperial physician also walked over quickly.
"Wen'e Niang~" The eldest prince had not yet fallen into a coma, but his voice sounded very weak.
Wen Mianmian saw that the eldest prince's face also began to have a rash. Although it was not as serious as Xuanxuan and Chenchen, it was still shocking to see his whole body covered with red rashes.
"The eldest prince has a rash on his body. Why did you come to tell me now?" Wen Mianmian said angrily as he looked at the young eunuch kneeling on the ground.
The young eunuchs kneeling on the ground couldn't help but tremble when they heard the concubine's angry rebuke.
"Reporting to Concubine, the eldest prince did not have any symptoms this morning. It was only half an hour ago that a rash suddenly appeared on his face. We wanted to call the court physician, but he stopped us. Later, the rash became more and more severe, and he became weaker and started to feel hot. Only then did we realize something was wrong. We also heard about what happened with the second and third princes, so we went to report this to Concubine."
Someone has already informed Fu Jin.
"Nonsense, the eldest prince is not feeling well, you should have come to report it as soon as possible. Why don't you report it when the eldest prince doesn't let you? If something happens to the eldest prince, can you bear the consequences?" Wen Mianmian became even more furious when she heard what they said.
Seeing that Wen's mother was angry, the eldest prince quickly said, "Wen's mother, don't be angry. I told them not to talk about this matter."
At first I thought it was nothing serious and didn’t know that I had contracted smallpox.
"Everyone, go down. Your affairs will be decided by the master and the concubine after the eldest prince recovers."
Several young eunuchs quickly retreated.
Wen Mianmian walked over and asked the imperial physician: "Imperial physician, how is the eldest prince?"
The imperial physician had a worried look on his face, and Wen Mianmian knew what was going on when she saw this.
"My Lady, the eldest prince has the same symptoms as the second and third princes. They are all infected with smallpox. However, the eldest prince only became ill this morning, so he did not pass out like the other two princes."
"However, the eldest prince has also started to have a fever. I will have someone bring some of the fever-reducing medicine from the second prince. As for whether it can reduce the fever, we can only wait and see the effect after he drinks it."
"Then go quickly." Wen Mianmian urged.
The sooner this disease is treated, the better. Besides, the eldest prince is already in poor health. If...
Wen Mianmian didn't dare to think about it, and it seemed that the eldest prince died in the past one or two years in history, so Wen Mianmian couldn't help but feel more worried.
Although the eldest prince is not her child, he is sensible and polite, and treats his younger brothers and sisters very well. Wen Mianmian does not want anything to happen to the eldest prince.
Although Fu Jin didn't like her and had done bad things to her, Wen Mianmian was never the type to take personal grudges against her children.
They are innocent, and the eldest brother is not a bad person by nature. He respects her as his stepmother very much. Wen Mianmian also likes the eldest prince very much, so she doesn't want anything to happen to him.
Moreover, if something really happened to the eldest prince, Wen Mianmian would also feel bad. After all, the eldest prince was completely implicated. I heard that the eldest prince had dinner with Xuanxuan, Chenchen and others yesterday, so he must have been infected at that time.
Thinking of this, Wen Mianmian walked over to the table and poured a glass of water. At an angle where no one could see, she poured some of the spiritual juice in her space into the glass.
Then he personally brought it to the eldest prince and fed him.
But the eldest prince avoided him and said, "Mother Wen, you'd better not get close to me, otherwise it will be bad if you get infected."
"Don't worry, I've had smallpox before so it won't infect me."
