Chapter 1168: The Empress Dowager Can’t Take It (1)
Lu Huaijiang rushed to the Empress Dowager’s palace with his men.
The Empress Dowager’s face was already pale, and she was relying on the imperial physician to keep her alive.
At this moment, quite a few people had died in the Empress Dowager’s palace. The entire palace was sealed, and only entry was allowed.
“Where’s the imperial physician?” Lu Huaijiang’s brows were tightly furrowed, and he was almost furious.
“The imperial physician is rushing over.” Eunuch Lu reported in a low voice.
Seeing the Emperor’s expression, Eunuch Lu took a deep breath.
“Your Majesty…”
Eunuch Lu hesitated and did not dare to speak.
The Empress Dowager was now groggy and did not have any strength. Even opening her eyes seemed to be extremely difficult.
Lu Huaijiang’s heart skipped a beat when she saw Eunuch Lu’s expression.
“What happened?”
“Your Majesty,” Eunuch Lu said in a low voice,”you ordered people to seal the Hidden Deer Hall this morning.” But before that…Princess Jing Shu woke up early and was extremely distressed. She was carried by the nanny to the Empress Dowager’s bedroom. Now…He hasn’t returned yet.”
In other words, Jingshu had been in front of the Empress Dowager all morning.
And the Empress Dowager was infected with the plague…
Lu Huaijiang’s vision went black, and he almost fell to the ground.
Bang!
His Majesty smashed the screen in front of him into pieces.
The two nannies who served the Empress Dowager had died suddenly, and Jingshu had just given birth.
“Where is Jingshu?” Lu Huaijiang asked with a dark face.
“He’s resting in the back hall now. The Grand Physician Marquis is already there.” Ever since they found out that there was a plague in the palace, everyone wore veils to temporarily isolate a portion of the source of infection.
Lu Huaijiang hurriedly ran to the back hall without turning his head.
He took a deep breath when he saw his daughter, who was still breathing bubbles and smiling foolishly in her swaddled clothes.
Lu Huaijiang thought that he was an evil god, but it was not his intention to be born evil.
It turned out that when Heavenly Dao was ruthless, it was probably not inferior to Evil Gods.
“Keep an eye on the princess and bring Taozhi in. No one is allowed to get close to her in this palace. If anything happens to her, all of you will be brought to see her!” Lu Huaijiang’s face darkened.
If the plague could spread to the palace, the casualties outside would probably be even heavier.
Moreover, this illness came quickly and urgently, not giving anyone any time to react at all.
The Imperial Physician Department prescribed a few prescriptions and burned various combinations of Chinese medicine in the palace every day.
The entire palace was filled with the smell of medicinal herbs.
All the palaces had casualties, the only difference was Hidden Deer Palace.
Hidden Deer Hall didn’t seem to have lost a single person.
This was rather surprising.
Someone once said that there was water in front of Hidden Deer Hall, so they didn’t draw water from the well. However, only Lu Huaijiang understood that Lulu was different. Even her two children were different. Even if the Goddess lost her divine bones, how could she be like a mortal?
It was probably because of this that the people from Hidden Deer Hall escaped.
This was also the reason why he wasn’t too worried even though he was worried about Jingshu, who had accidentally entered the Empress Dowager’s palace.
That child had inherited more divine bodies than the Crown Prince.
“Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is not doing well. She didn’t even drink a drop of water today. She even said that the previous emperor had come to pick her up.” Of course, she went a little further. She told the former emperor’s heroic spirit to get lost.
“The Empress Dowager is still…She’s in a daze and even said that she wants to see her grandchildren.”
Lu Huaijiang’s brows furrowed. It was safer for the Crown Prince to stay in Hidden Deer Hall, so he didn’t dare to bring him out.
No one knew how many people in the palace had contracted the plague.
And Jingshu’s words …
Lu Huaijiang hesitated.
Although the Empress Dowager was his biological mother and had developed a mother-son relationship over the years, Jingshu was only a month old.
If something really happened, there was no cure.
