Chapter 1166: Plague (1)
Chapter 1166: Plague (1)
After the crown prince and princess were one month old.
Everything seemed to have changed.
The world had not been peaceful for the past few years. There were floods and heavy snow from time to time.
Only the year when the two children were born was peaceful.
As their full moons appeared, it was as if heaven and earth were waking up again.
Everything happened quickly and urgently.
“What happened? Could it be an emergency? Yesterday, Xiao ‘xi’ zi was still serving in front of the hall.”
“Although we eunuchs have cheap lives, we are still servants of the Emperor. Every month, he would check the pulse of peace and not allow anyone to be sick in front of the hall. Xiao ‘xi’ zi just checked his Ping ‘an Meridian the day before yesterday. Why did he wake up today …” The young eunuch hurriedly reported to Eunuch Lu.
Eunuch Lu had served the Emperor for nearly twenty years and had never made any mistakes.
However, the sudden death of Xiao ‘xi’ zi, who was still on duty in the Imperial Palace yesterday, made Eunuch Lu’s heart jump.
“Call the Imperial Physician.”
“Those who came into contact with Xiao ‘xi’ zi just now, keep an eye on them. They are not allowed to leave this hall for the time being.” Eunuch Lu turned around and went to find out if Xiao ‘xi’ zi had been in contact with outsiders recently.
However, Eunuch Lu frowned again after this investigation.
Xiao ‘xi’ zi entered the palace at a young age, and his relatives outside the palace had long been cut off.
In the past month, he had almost no contact with the outside of the palace. Although he served the emperor, he had never had any enemies in private.
The relationship was simple, but this sudden death would arouse suspicion.
After all, the people serving the emperor were still on duty last night.
If he died suddenly and quietly today, what if he made a move on His Majesty?
Eunuch Lu would never allow anyone to endanger His Majesty’s safety.
Not long after, the imperial physician returned.
When the imperial physician came, he was somewhat unhappy. It was just a small eunuch’s death, yet he had mobilized so many people.
However, Eunuch Lu was an old man in front of the Emperor. The Emperor had always thought highly of him, so he had to give Eunuch Lu face.
“Sorry to trouble Imperial Physician Chen.” Eunuch Lu looked kind.
Imperial Physician Chen’s expression softened.
He didn’t dare to be arrogant towards Eunuch Lu and immediately said, “”Eunuch Lu, there’s no need to be so polite.” He immediately brought the medicine boy into the house.
Seeing that there were still palace servants locked up in the room, Imperial Physician Chen frowned.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he had mobilized a large number of troops.
However, not long after he entered.
Imperial Physician Chen suddenly cried out in alarm and immediately knocked over the medicine box.
“How is that possible? How was that possible? This … Why would this appear in the palace?” Imperial Physician Chen’s expression changed drastically, and his face turned pale in an instant.
Eunuch Lu was a cautious person. He closed the door the moment Imperial Physician Chen entered the room.
Even when they spoke, they were separated by the hall door.
“Imperial Physician Chen, is there anything strange?”
Imperial Physician Chen’s face was pale and he didn’t say a word.
After a long silence, he said in a trembling voice, “” Quickly go and invite the Headmaster. Ask him to take all precautions and tell him about the big matter. ”
After saying that, he said almost word by word,”I…” I suspect there’s a plague.”
It was unknown where the plague had come from, but the symptoms were exactly the same as the plague!
The word ‘plague’ was uttered.
The surroundings fell silent.
Eunuch Lu’s body swayed and he almost fell to the ground.
“Quick, report this to His Majesty.” Regardless of whether it was true or false, even if they suspected it, it was still extremely shocking.
Not to mention that such a plague had appeared in the palace.
When Lu Huaijiang learned of this, the head of the Imperial Academy of Medicine had already brought a few officials who had been fortunate enough to see the plague into the palace.
This time, they had sealed the palace gates.
When Lu Huaijiang found out about this, the second person in the palace had already fallen.
The palace servant walked in the imperial garden and fell to the ground without warning. He never opened his eyes again.
