He conspired against her in his previous life, and he flirted with her on their wedding night again

Eunuch Yuan immediately asked Xiao Xizi to investigate the matter.

In less than half an hour, Xiao Xizi came back and reported to the emperor, "I checked and found that since the smallpox outbreak in Kyoto, the palace has not sent anything to Prince Ling's Mansion."

Upon hearing this, Eunuch Yuan said, "I will report back to Prince Ling right away."

A quarter of an hour later, Chen Feng caught the pigeon and knocked on the window.

Xie Jingyan took the note from Chen Feng. There were only two words on it:

No.

Seeing these two words, Xie Jingyan's eyes turned cold.

Originally, Doctor Tao only suspected that the smallpox was brought into the palace by those silks. Now that it is confirmed that those silks were sent by someone under the guise of the emperor, what else is there to doubt?

The emperor has rewarded Prince Ling's Mansion too many times. If they say it is a reward from the emperor, not only Steward Zhou, but even Shen Wan and Xie Jingyan would not be suspicious.

Smallpox was rampant and people were in panic, but some people used smallpox as a weapon to take their lives.

Shen Wan felt a chill down her spine just thinking about such a vicious method.

If she hadn't been vigilant, if Manager Zhou hadn't followed orders, if the silk had really been delivered to Mo Yuxuan...

Shen Wan didn't want to think further.

It's just a pity for those innocent embroiderers in the embroidery room who suffered such a disaster.

The more Shen Wan thought about it, the angrier she became. She looked at Xie Jingyan and asked, "Who could do such a cruel thing?"

If Queen Song still sat firmly in the harem, Shen Wan would be the first one to suspect her.

But now Queen Song has been banished to the cold palace and can hardly protect herself. The entire family of the Left Prime Minister has been executed, and those who were close to him have been killed, demoted, or exiled. Only a handful of them are left in Kyoto. It is not enough for these people to behave themselves, so how can they dare to harm them again?

Seeing Shen Wan's chest heaving with anger, Xie Jingyan said, "No matter who it is, I will find him out."

If those people were only coming for him, Xie Jingyan might be able to tolerate them a little. But the people behind the scenes wanted to kill Shen Wan and his newborn son at the same time. How could Xie Jingyan tolerate that?

He has never been a soft-hearted person.

Xie Jingyan instructed Chen Feng, "I'll keep those silks for use, don't burn them."

Chen Feng said, "But there are smallpox on the silk..."

"If smallpox can be added, it can be removed."

...I've been stupid again in front of Master and the Princess.

If the smallpox cannot be removed, then the entire embroidery room will be ruined.

Chen Feng quietly retreated and went to the front yard to pass on the message.

Shen Wan couldn't wait to find out the people who harmed them, but right now Prince Ling's Mansion was surrounded by the City Patrol and no one could get out. She had no way to investigate and could only wait patiently for the plague to pass.

Before, when Doctor Tao worked out a prescription, he had to send someone out of the city to test the medicine. Now, that is no longer necessary. After the medicine is boiled, it is sent directly to the embroidery room.

But there was no prescription to cure smallpox. All the prescriptions could only relieve the symptoms of those infected with the plague. Once infected, life or death depended entirely on fate.

Shen Wan had never felt that life was so difficult.

Half a month seemed to last as long as half a year.

In the past half month, half of the maids and servants in the outer courtyard who were infected with smallpox died, and the remaining half survived. The situation outside the city was even worse, with less than three or four out of ten surviving.

There were no more people infected with the plague in the city. All those who were infected with the plague and were under centralized management died, except those who recovered.

The plague did not spread any further, and the plague was almost over at this point.

However, just in case, even if they have recovered, they have to stay outside the city to make sure there are no problems before they can be allowed to return home.

The same goes for Prince Ling’s Mansion.

Ten days later, the city patrol officers guarding outside Prince Ling's mansion finally left.

The day when the City Patrol Department withdrew happened to be the day when Shen Wan finished her confinement, and she felt relieved.

After getting up in the morning and dressing up, Shen Wan couldn't wait to go out.

The sun is warm and the spring is mild. The trees in the yard that had been bare for a cold winter are now green.

Good news came one after another.

First, good news came from the Prince of Yanping's Palace that Cheng Yao was pregnant.

This was discovered half a month ago, but Shen Wan only heard about it today.

Here, Shen Wan was still happy for the Prince of Yanping and Cheng Yao, when news came that the eldest lady of the Duke of Tan's Mansion was pregnant.

With so many pregnant women, the young master will never have to worry about having no playmates.

Haitang covered her mouth and laughed, "I didn't expect that Young Master Xu got married first, and Young Master Tang became the first father."

Shen Wan laughed. Pregnancy was not based on the order of marriage, but with Tang Ze's personality, she would definitely be proud of it in front of Xu Ji.

Just as Shen Wan expected, Tang Ze was not only proud in front of Xu Ji, but Xu Ji was so proud that he almost wanted to beat him up.

When he went out, he was angered by Tang Ze, and when he returned home, his parents still disliked him.

The wife of the Minister of Justice said, "You were fighting so hard to get married first, why didn't you fight to let your mother have a grandson sooner?"

Xu Ji, "..."

If he doesn't try harder to get his wife pregnant, he won't be able to live like this.

Watching them getting married and becoming fathers one by one, Du Cheng'an, who had finally arranged their marriages, became anxious.

Unfortunately, just two days after he got engaged, a plague broke out in Kyoto, and the betrothal gifts have not been sent to the Yan family yet. God knows when he will be able to get married.

Shen Wan was happy for them, but Yin Shuang said depressedly, "Damn smallpox, it ruined the young master's full moon banquet."

There is only one full moon banquet in a lifetime.

Ever since the young prince's third birthday, Yin Shuang has been looking forward to the full moon banquet.

It just disappeared quietly.

Speaking of the full moon banquet, Shen Wan felt a little regretful, but the regret was for her and Xie Jingyan. As for Jin'er, he was still so young and didn't understand anything. Even if a full moon banquet was held, he wouldn't remember it. It was a blessing that the smallpox spread to the outer courtyard and did not affect Mo Yuxuan.

Thinking of the embroiderers and servants who died of smallpox, Shen Wan's eyes turned cold.

The palace was surrounded before and we couldn't get out. Now that Tianhua has been released, we can find out who sent those silks to Prince Ling's palace.

When Xie Jingyan came back from morning exercise, he saw Shen Wan standing at the door. He asked, "Why are you out?"

Shen Wan said, "You forgot, I'm out of confinement."

It's impossible to forget, I'm just counting the days.

Xie Jingyan whispered in her ear, "Go take a shower for your husband."

Shen Wan, "..."

This bastard!

I always take a shower after my daily morning exercises, but you have to make it sound so seductive.

Fortunately, the maids were not around, otherwise it would have been so embarrassing.

But it seems like they haven't had it for a long time...

Shen Wan's face turned red and she quickly turned around and went back to the house.

After Xie Jingyan came back from taking a shower, breakfast was brought from the kitchenette and the two sat down to eat breakfast.

After breakfast, Shen Wan prepared to go for a walk in the garden. She had stayed in the house for a full forty-two days. If it weren't for Xie Jingyan and the children accompanying her, she would have almost gone crazy.

Not only did she want to stroll around the garden, she also wanted to go out shopping, go back to Marquis Pingyang's Mansion, go to the Yun family, there were so many places she wanted to go.

Shen Wan wanted to visit the garden, and Xie Jingyan would definitely accompany her. However, as soon as the two of them left Mo Yuxuan, a maid came over quickly and reported, "Your Majesty, the emperor summoned you to the palace."
