Liu Qiuchan sat aside, watching Lin Zhan spit out the medicine prescribed by the director into the basin, and then drank up the medicine she had prescribed. She felt uneasy. "Zhan'er, do you want me to investigate the director? Maybe we can get something out of it."
"It's better not to do that. If we alert the enemy, they might come up with other tricks." Lin Zan was still very weak. After drinking the medicine, he fell into a deep sleep and couldn't fall asleep.
After this operation, a few days later, Lin Zan's high fever subsided a lot, which made Liu Qiuchan, who was taking care of him day and night, very happy.
Today, the hospital director came to take Lin Zan's pulse and was surprised to find that her internal condition had improved a lot. A hint of doubt flashed between his brows. After all, he knew that the medicine he prescribed did not have this effect.
Lin Zan lay on the bed with his eyes half closed, carefully observing the director's expression. As expected, he found that his face looked different and he felt a little uncomfortable after learning that his condition had improved.
Although Lin Zan had been betrayed by the dean before, he was still taught the golden needle technique by the dean, so he was somewhat grateful to him in his heart.
After this incident, the last bit of teacher-student affection in Lin Zhan's heart disappeared completely. She said to Yuan Zheng in a cold tone, "Master, my physical condition has improved a lot. I feel much clearer these days."
"Well, it seems that the medicine prescribed by your master is still effective. You should continue to drink it." The dean did not say anything else. After taking Lin Zan's pulse, he left.
Lin Zhan turned his head away with a calm look and made up his mind at the same time.
So during the day, Lin Zhan pretended to obey the director's instructions and drink the medicine, but at night he used Adenophora and Ophiopogon japonicus decoction to eliminate the pus blisters on his body.
But no one expected that two days later, another person in Hanfang Pavilion was infected with smallpox, and his symptoms were even more serious than Lin Zhan's.
The rash on Lin Zan's body is now in the pustular stage, while the pus bubbles on the palace maid infected with smallpox have already shown signs of bursting, and she has a high fever and is talking nonsense.
Since Lin Zan had been lying on the bed and had no way to check on the palace maid, Liu Qiuchan had to go and find out what happened and then tell her.
"Zhan'er, I think the condition of that palace maid is more serious than yours, and after investigation, I found that the palace maid was infected with smallpox earlier than you." Liu Qiuchan said with emotion.
Her words made Lin Zhan suddenly realize something, and he said weakly, "Sister, could it be that this palace maid infected with smallpox was deliberately planted in my palace to harm me?"
Liu Qiuchan was stunned when she heard this, then suddenly realized what was going on and said angrily, "That's how it should be. Who on earth could have such a vicious heart to use smallpox to harm your child?"
"If I'm not mistaken, this person should be Concubine Qin, because she was the one who stuffed that palace maid into Hanfang Pavilion." After things became clear, Lin Zan was also very angry.
Liu Qiuchan knew that it was Concubine Qin who did this, and she was about to stand up and seek justice for Lin Zan. If Lin Zan and Dong Xiang hadn't stopped Liu Qiuchan, she might have rushed to Concubine Qin's palace.
"Sister, don't be impulsive. Even if you go to question Concubine Qin now, she will definitely not admit it. She will even turn the tables and say that the palace maid was infected by me, not that palace maid who infected me." Lin Zan said clearly.
Liu Qiuchan sat there, still unable to swallow the anger in her heart, "Then this matter can't just be let go, we have to find a way to let the emperor know the true face of Concubine Qin."
After the words fell, the whole room became quiet. Lin Zhan lay on the bed thinking about this matter, and then made up his mind.
"Sister, I have a way to let the emperor thoroughly investigate the smallpox infection, but I don't know if you want to help me." Lin Zan said to Liu Qiuchan hesitantly.
Liu Qiuchan didn't show any hesitation on her face. She walked over and said to Lin Zhan seriously and firmly, "Why do you have to say these things to me as a sister? Just tell me what you want me to do for you."
Then Lin Zhan whispered a few words in Liu Qiuchan's ear. After listening, Liu Qiuchan's face changed and she looked at Lin Zhan in disbelief.
"Sister, I know that doing this may harm some people's lives, but I can assure you that I have found a way to cure smallpox, and no one will die from it." After Lin Zhan finished speaking, he began to cough violently.
Liu Qiuchan stood there hesitant, but finally thinking of what Concubine Qin had done, she gritted her teeth and agreed.
The next day, before dawn, Bixia and Dongxiang left Hanfang Pavilion quietly, each holding a bundle in their arms.
"Oh my god, this dress is actually made of natural silk. Those nobles in the palace are really squandering natural resources. They even threw away such clothes."
When the sky just got light, two palace maids came to the place where the clothes were discarded and started to rummage around. They actually saw a priceless Tiancan robe.
This made them very happy. The monthly salary of these palace maids who did menial work was very low. In order to make more money, they would sell the clothes discarded by the nobles to other people.
In order to conduct secret transactions in private, these palace maids would gather in the cold palace every once in a while to exchange the things they had obtained.
Today was no exception. A palace maid took the valuable clothes she had picked up and sold them in the cold palace to palace maids who wanted to curry favor with the rich and powerful and had ulterior motives.
The clothes that the palace maids wore every day were very dark and monotonous. If they wanted to become phoenixes, they had to dress brightly first.
Therefore, the clothes that the concubines and princesses didn't want became the best choice for these palace maids. With just a little modification, they could become a weapon to seduce people.
The Tiancan clothes and other precious clothes brought by the palace maid became the objects that the other palace maids scrambled for.
In a hidden corner not far away, Bixia looked at the clothes scattered in the hands of the palace maids, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and said to Dongxiang beside her, "I think this will be enough."
"It should be okay. Let's go back and report to the queen and the young lady." Dong Xiang also nodded, and then the two of them returned to Hanfang Pavilion quietly.
Knowing that the clothes he had used had been scattered in the harem, Lin Zhan nodded.
