——
The people in the Eighth Master's mansion did not sleep all night. That night, several more people in the Eighth Concubine's mansion were infected with smallpox. No one was allowed to enter or leave the main courtyard or the back yard, and the main gate of the mansion was also closed.
When the princesses and concubines in the backyard heard that the Eighth Lady had contracted smallpox, they all hoped that God would take her away this time.
In order to avoid harming others while living in this world, there are many people in the backyard who have been bullied by the concubine. Now everyone hopes that the concubine will not be well, so that they don’t have to live in fear in the future.
Lin and Wang had already woken up and heard people around them talk about Fu Jin. When they heard this, they felt very happy and wished that Fu Jin would die from smallpox.
She had hurt them so badly, and this time the smallpox was retribution.
And when they heard that they could no longer get pregnant, they wished she would die immediately. Such a cruel woman should not be allowed to stay in this world.
Over night, the rash on Guo Luoluo's face became more and more severe, and some even formed pustules, which looked quite shocking.
Because the Eighth Master had been vaccinated against cowpox before, he was not worried about smallpox being transmitted to him. However, when he saw the rash on Guo Luoluo's face, he couldn't help feeling disgusted.
But no matter what she was like, she was still his wife, so he still had to ask her what he should ask. He asked the court physician and the imperial physician who had just arrived: "How is the Eighth Wife now?"
"Replying to Eighth Prince, I'm afraid the Eighth Concubine's condition is not good."
The Imperial Medical Bureau originally had an imperial physician who had a deep understanding of the symptoms of smallpox, but he was not here, but in the Fourth Master's mansion. They did not have a deep understanding of smallpox, and they could only try their best to control it. It would take time to cure it completely, and they could not guarantee whether it could be cured.
"You guys think of a way. No matter what, nothing can happen to the concubine." Although he didn't like this concubine, there were some things that he couldn't say directly.
As for whether it can get better, it depends on her.
But he was also very confused. How could Fu Jin contract smallpox when she was fine?
He had not been to his fourth brother's mansion during this period, and no one outside his fourth brother's mansion had symptoms of smallpox. So how could she suddenly contract smallpox?
When he thought about this, he asked the two imperial doctors.
"Do you know what happened to Fu Jin's smallpox? She was fine these past few days and hadn't been anywhere. How could she have contracted smallpox?"
The imperial physician and the court physician exchanged a glance. The imperial physician bowed and stepped forward, saying, "Replying to Eighth Prince, this smallpox could be caused by Eighth Concubine's health, and it's not necessarily contagious. We need to investigate the details carefully."
The "check" the imperial physician mentioned naturally meant checking whether there were any infectious agents in the main courtyard. If not, it was most likely the concubine's own fault.
"Then let that person check it out. If there is something really contagious, it can be found and dealt with earlier." Otherwise, what will happen if more and more people are infected in the future?
The Eighth Master called Nanny Lian in, and asked her to bring all the food that the Eighth Concubine usually used, so that the imperial physician could check to see if there was anything unusual.
At this moment, the Eighth Master was wondering whether this matter was really done on purpose. After all, smallpox had just been reported in Fourth Brother's place, and then his wife also contracted smallpox for no reason. It was possible that someone was really behind this.
When Nanny Lian heard what the Eighth Master said, she quickly found all the things that the Concubine had used recently and asked the imperial doctors to examine them one by one, but there was nothing abnormal about these things. Obviously, these were not the cause.
"What? Don't you have any of these?" Mr. Ba frowned and looked at the two of them and spoke.
The imperial physician shook his head, "Reply to Eighth Prince, none of these exist."
Even the nanny had brought over all the things that Fu Jin used on a daily basis. If none of these were found, it would mean that Fu Jin was infected by herself, and not by anything else.
So this is retribution?
Emperor Kangxi also heard from the ninth prince last night that the eighth concubine had also contracted smallpox. While he was shocked, he also felt that the eighth concubine might have suffered retribution.
Yesterday, he beat the princess he sent to the eighth brother, and the next day she got smallpox. If this isn't retribution, what is?
The smallpox in the fourth son's house has not been cured yet, and now smallpox has also appeared in the eighth son's house. Emperor Kangxi doesn't know what to say.
However, the first thing they did was to send the palace's skilled imperial physician to Old Eight's mansion. After all, the smallpox had to be cured quickly, otherwise if the news got out, it would probably cause panic.
If he had not promptly blocked the news of the outbreak of smallpox in the Fourth Master's mansion, the whole capital might have known about it by now.
I had originally thought of asking the Eighth Prince to bring his wife into the palace and give her a good scolding in a few days, but it seems this matter has to be postponed.
Now we can only deal with this smallpox issue.
The fever of Xuanxuan and the others had completely subsided, and the imperial doctors all breathed a sigh of relief. What made them happiest was that none of the young princes and the servants who had contracted smallpox were actually in good condition.
If people had contracted smallpox in the past, countless people would have died in the past few days. Now everyone is getting better, and as long as they take good care of themselves, they will be able to fully recover.
As long as you don't scratch the rash on your face, you will be fine.
Fortunately, the rash on their faces was not serious, otherwise even if the rash healed, it would leave indelible scars.
Aren’t the pockmarks on Emperor Kangxi’s face today caused by the smallpox he had as a child?
Xuanxuan and the others are getting better, and the happiest people are Wen Mianmian and the Fourth Master.
That day, the Fourth Master went to see them and came back. At that time, Wen Mianmian was listening to the old man with the map and Xiaobai arguing there.
This old map guy had always been kept by Wen Mianmian, but today he kept making a fuss about wanting to come out, so Wen Mianmian had no choice but to let him out of the small box.
As soon as he came out, he saw a lot of spiritual fruits in Xiaobai's arms, and the old man with the map started drooling with greed.
Then, while Xiaobai was not paying attention, he quietly stole a spiritual fruit from Xiaobai and ate it quickly.
Xiaobai ate a spiritual fruit and then found that his other spiritual fruit was missing. He turned around and saw the old man with the map sitting behind him. Without thinking, Xiaobai knew that it must be the old man with the map who stole his spiritual fruit.
Then he rushed forward angrily and beat up the old man with the map.
The old man with the map is not afraid of being beaten. Anyway, it doesn't hurt and can't be broken, so he can hit whatever he wants.
Seeing that the old man had such a thick and strong skin, and was scolding it in an indifferent tone, Xiaobai chopped its claws twice fiercely before retracting its claws angrily.
Then I started to curse at it.
The Fourth Master didn't understand what Xiaobai said. He only heard it howling at the map, and he knew that the map had done something to annoy Xiaobai again.
