Chapter 267 Think carefully, do you want to die or live?
The emperor was in a state of confusion and wanted to say something, but he tried his best to restrain himself.
"Let the ghost doctor go, and you shouldn't go. You're a girl, and your body is fragile, so you can easily be infected."
The princes who had been standing behind the emperor in silence looked at each other.
The emperor really favors her.
The Fourth Prince took the initiative to persuade him, "Jinyun, your father means well, but you are not a doctor, so going there will be of no use."
Yun Zheng's expression was firm. "No, I have to go at this time."
"Prince Rui asked me to look after the Queen Mother before he left. If anything happens to the Queen Mother, how will I explain it to Prince Rui?"
"Your Majesty, if the Queen Mother is truly ill with the epidemic, I will stay and take care of her. Although I am not a doctor, I can stay in the Cining Palace and prevent any danger."
There was something behind her words, and the emperor looked at her deeply, suspecting that something had gone wrong in the Cining Palace.
"Have you thought it through?"
Yun Zheng nodded. "I've made up my mind. I'll hand over all the palace affairs to Princess Jiangcheng. She's already capable of handling them on her own."
The Third Prince couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you afraid of death?"
Yun Zheng said with a serious expression, "I'm afraid, but there are things I still have to do and some moral principles I still have to uphold."
Yun Zheng suddenly bowed deeply to the emperor, her expression extremely solemn. "Your Majesty, please accept my greeting. Thank you for your care and concern these days."
"If I can't leave the Cining Palace, Your Majesty, please consider Jinyun's loyalty and take care of my parents."
Everyone was shocked. Was she...prepared to never come back?
She is such a lunatic!
But, we have to admit, who doesn’t like and admire people who are both loyal and filial?
The Third Prince's heart was choked with anxiety, "Don't go crazy."
Yun Zheng has made up her mind, "In life, there are things you should do and things you shouldn't do."
"Your Majesty, please take good care of yourself. May your Majesty live long and long, and may the Great Qi Empire remain forever strong."
After saying this, she left without looking back.
Everyone looked at her receding figure with extremely complicated expressions.
The Fourth Prince glanced at the Emperor furtively, "You didn't allow her to go, but she insisted on going. She's impulsive and willful, disregarding the overall situation."
The emperor felt mixed emotions. He was not wrong. She was good in every way, except that she was too sentimental.
"I hereby order that a branch of the Mingjingsi be temporarily placed under the name of Princess Jinyun, and that they obey her orders."
"yes."
"Send a few copies of the Imperial Hospital's medicinal materials to the Cining Palace to ensure that the Empress Dowager has enough."
"yes."
"Whatever the Cining Palace wants, send it there."
"yes."
The emperor issued a long list of orders and suddenly remembered something.
"Keep watching Chonghua Palace and report every move of Concubine Lei immediately."
"yes."
The Third Prince's expression changed slightly, "Father, what are you doing?"
The Emperor's cold gaze swept over. "The Cining Palace is closed. No one has any contact with the outside world. From now on, you are not allowed to leave the Yangxin Palace again."
The Third Prince said cautiously, "But I'm worried about Mother and Xiaowu."
The emperor was very impatient, "Then you go live in Chonghua Palace and guard them personally."
The Third Prince was scared and said, "That's not necessary. I'm not a doctor."
The emperor couldn't help but think of Yun Zheng's determination. The empress dowager was not even her closest relative.
"Hey, you're no match for Jinyun."
The third prince’s face turned ashen. Damn it, he was outdone by Yun Zheng!
Yun Zheng is both loyal and filial, but he becomes a coward who is afraid of death!
Cining Palace
When the palace servant saw Princess Jinyun coming, he immediately opened the door.
When everyone saw her, they felt like they had found their backbone and were no longer so panicked.
Yun Zheng waved to Mingjingsi, and Mingjingsi scattered and quickly took control of the situation.
When she entered the bedroom, she saw a room full of palace maids standing guard by the bed. The empress dowager was pale and vomiting continuously, until her whole body was convulsing.
Yun Zheng gave a wink, and the ghost doctor stepped forward and gave the empress dowager a shot. The empress dowager fainted instantly.
Nanny Guan exclaimed, "Empress Dowager."
Yun Zheng said calmly, "Let her rest for a while. What happened? When did it start?"
Nanny Guan's eyes were red. "He was fine last night, but he felt uncomfortable when he woke up this morning. He kept vomiting and looked very bad."
"Ghost doctor, take the Queen Mother's pulse."
The ghost doctor stepped forward without a word, and as soon as he placed his hand on him, his expression darkened.
Yun Zheng knew what he meant by looking at his expression and sighed silently.
"How about it?"
The ghost doctor shook his head helplessly, "He was infected with the plague."
As soon as these words were spoken, the scene became unusually quiet, and fear appeared on everyone's face.
Everyone is afraid of death!
Yun Zheng's face darkened. "Give him the medicine first."
The decoctions were all ready-made. She had taken them from the Yangxin Palace when she came. They could only alleviate the symptoms but not cure the root cause.
The palace maid helped the empress dowager drink the medicine, but she was unconscious and only drank half of it.
Nanny Guan was so anxious that she was spinning around in circles. "What should we do? Someone, go get the Emperor."
Yun Zheng gave her a deep look and said, "No need."
Nanny Guan was so anxious that she kept jumping up and down. "This matter is too big. You can't handle it alone. Let the emperor come and make the decision."
Yun Zheng winked at the ghost doctor and said, "Madame Guan is someone close to the Queen Mother. Please take her pulse too."
Just as Nanny Guan was about to refuse, the ghost doctor reached out his hand.
"She was also infected with the plague."
"Ah." Nanny Guan was stunned, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. This is impossible!
Everyone took a few steps back, trembling.
Yun Zheng raised an eyebrow. Was it surprise? Not fear? Something was wrong.
Nanny Guan came to her senses and tried to explain herself, "It must be a mistake. I'm in good health."
Yun Zheng asked back, "Are you questioning the ghost doctor's medical skills?"
Nanny Guan desperately denied it, "Of course not."
"Alright then." Yun Zheng gave the order directly, "Come here, send Madam Guan back to her room for isolation. No one is allowed to enter or leave."
Ming Jingsi stepped forward, and Nanny Guan took a few steps back. "The Queen Mother can't leave me. She's used to me being around and waiting on her. I can't leave her at this time."
The more she did this, the more Yun Zheng felt something was wrong.
"Madame Guan, what do you mean by this? Do you want to stay with the Queen Mother and infect each other, making the illness worse?"
She paused, somewhat doubtfully, "Or... is there another purpose?"
Nanny Guan's heart skipped a beat. "I'm worried about the Queen Mother. No one in this world cares about her safety more than I do."
Yun Zheng looked at her coldly, "Let me ask you one question: how could the Queen Mother be infected with the plague despite your meticulous care?"
Nanny Guan was incredulous, then showed a look of hurt. "You doubt me? How could you doubt me?"
Yun Zheng gave him a cold look. "When something happens to the Queen Mother, everyone around her will be questioned. This is the procedure. The Cining Palace is no exception."
The Empress Dowager is a recluse, but the Cining Palace is not.
She swept her murderous gaze over everyone, "If anything happens to the Queen Mother, the entire palace will be buried with her."
"So, everyone, think carefully, do you want to die or live?"
She was divisive and intimidating, saying, "If you want to live, come forward and report it."
The scene was completely silent, eerily quiet.
At this moment, a weak voice sounded, "I want to report it!"
Everyone looked over at once, hey, why is it her?
