Chapter 83: Smallpox



However, Lin Zhan keenly sensed that his master's words were insincere, and his expression was extremely strange.

After writing a prescription, the director left Hanfang Pavilion, but immediately told Qin Shang beside him, "I will report to the emperor to ban Hanfang Pavilion. You should go back to the Imperial Hospital and tell the doctors to be prepared. Someone in the palace has been infected with smallpox."

After he finished speaking, Qin Shang stood there in disbelief, then looked back at Hanfang Pavilion with shocked eyes.

At this moment, Lin Zan, who was still lying weakly on the bed, was already hovering between half asleep and half awake, with his consciousness gradually becoming blurred.

"What, Lin Zhan is infected with smallpox?" The emperor was shocked when he knew this. He directly ordered the Royal Guards to surround Hanfang Pavilion and no one inside was allowed to enter or leave.

This instantly caused panic in the harem. Liu Qiuchan was so nervous that she asked people to inquire about the news, and she also learned that Lin Zan was infected with smallpox.

"Haha, it's faster than I expected. Are you still going to die this time?" Concubine Qin laughed triumphantly, while Si Xueyi, who was sitting next to her, felt a chill in her heart.

Because Si Xueyi only found out at this time that among the palace maids sent by Concubine Qin to Lin Zhan that day, there was one who was suspected of being infected with smallpox.

However, after Concubine Qin learned about this, she not only concealed the symptoms of smallpox from the palace maid, but also sent the palace maid to Hanfang Pavilion to serve Lin Zan. Her vicious intentions were obvious.

"Xueyi, you must remember that it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Some things require waiting." Concubine Qin sat there and instructing Si Xueyi.

Only then did she realize that she was still far behind Concubine Qin in terms of cultivation, and that she was too impatient, so she nodded humbly.

When Lin Zhan woke up again, there was a bowl of bitter Chinese medicine next to her table. Bixia saw that she had woken up and quickly picked up the medicine and said, "Miss, drink the medicine quickly!"

Lin Zhan was weak all over at the moment, and only after Bixia's support did he finish the bowl of Chinese medicine, and then he said to her, "Sister Bixia, what disease do I have?"

"Miss, you...you have smallpox." Bixia's eyes turned red instantly and she spoke with a choked voice.

When Lin Zhan heard her words, it was like a bolt from the blue. It took him a long time to recover. Smallpox was the most famous infectious disease in ancient times, and the survival rate was very low.

In some dynasties, people who contracted smallpox would be executed directly to avoid infecting others.

In an instant, all kinds of terrifying tragic endings flashed through Lin Zhan's mind, causing her to gasp.

Seeing Lin Zhansheng's face as pale as death, Bixia wiped away the tears from her eyes and pretended to be optimistic. "Miss, don't worry. The head of the court will not watch you die. The emperor will definitely find a way to save you."

"I'm fine, Sister Bixia, please go out first and let me calm down." Lin Zan said this weakly, then closed his eyes and turned his head inside.

Bixia nodded, put down the pills in her hand and went out. Lin Zhan kept taking deep breaths to force himself to accept the current reality.

"Since God let me travel through the book to save Lin Zhan's fate, he will definitely not let me die so easily. I must find a way to save myself." Lin Zhan murmured.

Then she dragged her tired body to her feet and began to read medical books. On weekdays, it was too far to go to the Imperial Medical Bureau, so she would put some of the medical books she frequently read directly in the Hanfang Pavilion for her convenience.

I didn't expect that it would come in handy now. Lin Zan felt dizzy and fainted due to exhaustion after just looking at it for a while.

When she woke up the second time, there were already some people around her, but their mouths and noses were covered with white cloth to avoid infection.

"Master, senior brother!" Lin Zan recognized them and spoke to them with a pale face and cracked lips.

The director looked at her and said, "The emperor has ordered the entire Imperial Hospital to do its best to treat you."

"Junior sister, with Master here, there is nothing to be afraid of smallpox." Qin Shang was also comforting Lin Zan.

Lin Zhan forced a smile and nodded, but he didn't notice that the man in the courtyard next to him had a strange look on his face and sighed with a complicated expression.

Two days later, Lin Zan's body was covered with red rashes, which were painful and numb, and she was so tortured that she couldn't sleep.

"Your Majesty, Lin Zhan has smallpox, which is an incurable disease and can infect other people. Your Majesty, you should consider the lives of everyone in the harem and send Lin Zhan out of the palace."

"Otherwise, I'm really scared." Concubine Qin knelt in front of the emperor crying and begged him to throw Lin Zhan out of the palace.

The emperor's face was also full of embarrassment. After all, Lin Zhan was the only sister left by Queen Lin.

Moreover, the emperor once swore in front of all the civil and military officials that he would take good care of Lin Zhan. If he throws Lin Zhan out of the palace now, wouldn't that give people something to talk about?

"Princess Qin, how can you be so vicious? Lin Zan is just an eight-year-old child. If you throw her out of the palace, she will be dead." Liu Qiuchan was so angry that she gritted her teeth and pointed at Concubine Qin and cursed.

Concubine Qin continued to speak softly. "Lin Zhan's life is life, but our lives are not life? To save one person, she killed a hundred people. Is the Queen really kind?"

"You are simply making up stories!" Liu Qiuchan was so angry that her face turned red, but she could not argue with the eloquent Concubine Qin.

At this moment, the emperor slapped his palm on the table, stopping the two people's argument, and said with a frown, "Okay, no more talking, Lin Zhan will stay in the palace for treatment, but no one in Hanfang Pavilion is allowed to leave the palace, and no one else is allowed to approach Hanfang Pavilion."

"Your Majesty." Concubine Qin spoke coquettishly to the emperor, and her seductive tactics like those of a brothel girl were what Liu Qiuchan despised the most.

At this moment, Liu Qiuchan did something that no one expected. She knelt in front of the emperor and took the initiative to take care of Lin Zan who was infected with smallpox.

"Your Majesty, as the mistress of the harem, I cannot watch Lin Zhan die. I will definitely cure Lin Zhan." Liu Qiuchan said in a firm tone.

The emperor looked at her with some shock, but the queen had made up her mind and he had no choice but to allow Liu Qiuchan to take care of Lin Zan.

When Lin Zan woke up again, he saw Liu Qiuchan, who was wearing simple clothes and taking good care of him. At first he thought he was seeing things and could not help rubbing his eyes with his hands.

"Silly girl, don't you recognize your sister?" Liu Qiuchan said with a smile.
