Epidemic!

With the birth of the two princes, Yongzheng originally wanted to hold a grand full-month banquet for them.

Because the previous baptism was just a small one.

I was afraid that the newborn baby wouldn’t be able to withstand the stress and something might happen to him.

The two were born only five days apart.

I don't know which stingy person came up with the suggestion, but why not just move one two days forward and postpone the other two days and then do them together.

Otherwise, one thing will just end and another one will happen right after.

The treasury is empty!

Neither Zhen Huan nor Yi Xiu were satisfied with this result.

Unfortunately, the emperor didn't listen to them.

Just put it out there, whoever disagrees will pay.

Thinking about the cascading expenses of holding a full moon banquet, Zhen Huan and Yi Xiu calmed down immediately.

It means it’s just two days’ difference, and it’s acceptable if you think about it carefully.

Their money has to be saved for their sons to set up a house and get married in the future, so they can't spend it indiscriminately.

But a sudden epidemic directly disrupted the full moon banquet.

Initially, only some young eunuchs in charge of external purchases had problems. They had high fevers and were unconscious.

I thought it was just the weather getting colder and I caught a cold.

Just let people rest in the house for a few days.

I didn't even think about reporting it.

It was Luo Yao who was worried about the outbreak of an epidemic and asked her subordinates to check themselves, which led to the discovery.

This epidemic was delayed for a while compared to the original drama, and she thought it would not happen.

I didn't expect it to happen.

In Jingren Palace——

Yixiu sat on the chair, with dark circles under her eyes and a tired look on her face.

Ever since the epidemic broke out, she has been extremely worried, fearing that something might happen to Hongyao.

"Has the mugwort been distributed to various places in the palace?"

Looking at Huang Guiquan and Zhang Mi below, one is in charge of the Imperial Household Department and the other is in charge of the Imperial Medical Service.

It is up to the two of them to take care of this epidemic.

Huang Guiquan immediately pinched his throat and replied:

"In reply to the Queen, everything has been sent out."

Since Concubine Hua didn't do anything naughty this time, he was not dismissed and remained the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Household Department.

"Noble Lady Fucha is pregnant, and Concubine Wan's Sixth Prince is still young, so give them more money in the palace."

As for the Seventh Prince in his own palace?

That was naturally because there were enough mugwort leaves left early in the morning.

She asked Zhang Mi again and learned that the epidemic was fierce and highly contagious, which made her even more worried.

She herself doesn't care, but Hongyao is still young.

She quickly gave instructions and went to see her beloved son.

..........................................

"These are medicinal sachets made by the Imperial Hospital. I see that you are weak, so carry a few more with you."

Luo Yao looked at the handful of medicinal herbs that Yongzheng handed over.

Each package is as thick as an adult's arm. If you wear it on your body...

So ugly!

"Well, I am in good health, so I don't need to wear this sachet."

Luo Yao politely refused and pushed the sachet back.

"You don't even listen to what I say? Put it on quickly!"

Yongzheng didn't care whether he liked it or not. He just picked up the two and tied them together and hung them around Luo Yao's neck.

"......"

Luo Yao took a deep breath and told herself to be patient.

Hang it around Xiao Xiazi's neck when you go out!

Seeing that Yongzheng was about to hang a sachet on her, Luo Yao quickly changed the subject and said:

"Now the Queen has ordered all the six palaces to burn moxa leaves and brew strong liquor to drive away the plague."

"All the palace maids and eunuchs with such symptoms have been isolated..."

Yongzheng nodded as he listened.

The Queen was very thorough in handling these matters.

Now we just have to wait for the Imperial Medical Bureau to develop a prescription for treating the epidemic.

Unfortunately, after waiting for a long time, the Imperial Medical Bureau lost the medical genius Wen Shichu, and the speed of drug manufacturing in the Imperial Medical Bureau dropped significantly.

The epidemic situation in the palace had not improved, and Yongzheng was very anxious.

In addition to worrying about the safety of some people, he was more worried about rumors from the outside world.

Now some people say that it is because he is not a wise leader that God sent down disaster.

This is punishing him!

Yongzheng naturally didn't believe it.

But some people can't help but believe it.

late at night--

Yongzheng angrily threw the memorial on the table.

"It's only been a few days, and those people can't sit still!"

His voice was low and cold as ice, and he was already planning how to confiscate the family's property and exterminate the clan.

Just when he was about to order Su Peisheng to draft the decree, he looked up and saw no one.

"Su Peisheng! Where's he?"

Xiao Xiazi jumped out quickly.

"Your Majesty, Master has been busy looking through medical books in the Imperial Hospital recently. He should still be there now."

After hearing this, Yongzheng's anger subsided a little.

Just as he was about to say something, Luo Yao strode in from outside.

"Your Majesty, the prescription for treating the epidemic has begun to show results. I believe it will be ready for use in two days."

Yongzheng saw that he was holding a tray with pieces of cotton cloth on it.

I couldn't help but ask: "What are you holding in your hand?"

Luo Yao put down the tray and took out the simple mask that she had asked the embroiderer to sew.

"It's because I saw that the epidemic in the palace has not been cured, so I came up with a solution and designed this thing."

As she spoke, she picked up one of the pieces of cloth, which was square and had ropes tied at the four corners.

"It is said that diseases enter through the mouth. As long as you tie this thing on your head, it can effectively block some of the infection."

Yongzheng picked it up and tried it, and felt it was a good idea.

"Very good, then order someone to do it. If it can't be done in time, just ask someone to cover their face with a piece of cloth."

We are all slaves, there is nothing to be particular about.

Luo Yao nodded, and in addition to asking them to wear masks, she also mentioned many other precautions.

For example, drink boiled water, change and wash masks frequently, etc.

There are too many people in the palace, and there will always be one or two who are disobedient.

This epidemic was not completely stabilized until New Year's Eve.

Peace returned to the palace.

I spent this New Year in a dull manner.

Concubine Hua was deeply hurt by her brother's affairs, and she found that the emperor did not love her that much.

As a result, he no longer believed in his brother's loyalty.

This made her lose the energy to do anything. She was in love and felt sorry for herself every day.

The Queen was busy taking care of the Seventh Prince and had no time to continue her abortion business.

Zhen Huan would just live her life obediently unless others provoked her.

The emperor did not show her much favoritism here, so her focus naturally fell on her son.

The three most troublesome women in the harem have become quiet, and the rest of them can't cause any trouble.

As for the Queen Mother, she missed her little son every day.

I don’t know why, but there are always all kinds of problems around Old Fourteen.

It made her tired to deal with it.
