The Fourth Master's Dog

. . . . . .

Liang Jiugong received the order and was about to go down to do the work.

At this time, outside, his apprentice Xiao Linzi was running in hurriedly.

Liang Jiugong originally planned to scold him a few words. What's the point of being in such a hurry? When working in front of the Emperor, one cannot be so petty.

Before he could raise his head to reprimand, he heard the news in his ears.

Liang Jiugong shuddered.

He immediately ignored his image and hurriedly reported to Kangxi who was sitting at the top of the table.

Whispered a few words in Kangxi's ear.

"Your Majesty, there is smallpox in the harem... in the harem."

When Kangxi heard the news, his eyes narrowed and he sat up straight.

Looking at the table where the Fourth Prince was sitting, he immediately realized the seriousness of the situation.

His eyes turned to Empress Niohuru, and his originally lazy expression became majestic, and his voice became irresistible.

"Empress, you take everyone in the harem back first and seal off the harem. No propaganda is allowed and no one is allowed to leave the palace."

"The princes and princesses stay here first."

Empress Niohuru looked at the expressionless Kangxi and closed her open mouth silently.

Empress Niohuru felt very uncomfortable when she saw the Emperor like this.

She is his queen, but he never tells her anything. Apart from the little respect they show on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month, there is no trust between husband and wife in other areas.

"The minister and concubine follow the order."

"Chen and concubine retire."

Empress Niuhulu immediately sent someone down to convey the Emperor's intention.

He also took the lead in leaving his seat and walked outside.

He asked in a low voice to Nanny Du who was serving beside him.

"Do you know what happened?"

"Could it be that something happened in Chengqian Palace now?"

Empress Niohuru simply relaxed the control over palace rules, allowing those carrying smallpox to behave better in the palace.

She wasn't stupid enough to get involved with these things herself.

Wouldn't it be better to reap the benefits while sitting back?

Nanny Du also answered in a low voice.

"It should be. His Majesty has ordered the harem to be sealed off, and no one can move around freely in the palaces."

"It is possible that smallpox is not only found in Chengqian Palace, but also in the Imperial Palace."

"Otherwise, His Majesty would not have sealed off the harem."

When Empress Niohuru heard this, her face changed.

"Go back to the palace quickly, so as not to get stained with dirty things outside."

"Your Majesty, are you going to be disappointed with me again? How could smallpox occur in other places in the palace?"

"Forget it, it's not convenient to talk about this outside, let's go back quickly."

……

When the concubines in the harem heard the queen's order, their expressions varied, some were happy and some were worried.

Those unfavored concubines finally got to see Kangxi today, but now they have to leave. How can they be willing to accept this?

There was nothing you could do even if you were unwilling, as the queen had already taken the lead and left.

Who would dare to resist those who are not favored?

The concubines above the rank of concubine had a look of gloating on their faces when they knew some of the news, while those who didn't know the news felt a little confused.

"Sisters, the Queen has left."

"I will certainly obey His Majesty's order. I will leave now."

After Concubine De Uya said this with understanding, she immediately left her seat and walked out with brisk steps.

The remaining concubines looked at each other, and immediately ordered people to go back to the palace.

In less than a cup of tea, the originally lively banquet became deserted.

……

As soon as Empress Niohuru left, Kangxi immediately issued an order.

"Send someone to control him, and summon the imperial physician."

"Block the news first."

"Post guards outside each palace. No one is allowed to announce or go out."

"The princes and princesses will stay here first and be quarantined separately."

"First send the imperial physician to the Grand Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager to see if there is anything wrong."

"Liang Jiugong, go investigate for me. I will exterminate all nine generations of his clan."

"No one from the former court or the harem will be spared."

Kangxi's eyes were hidden in the darkness and could not be seen clearly, but his voice was frighteningly cold.

. . . .

Kangxi sat in the main hall. The aura around him was frighteningly low, and none of the people serving him dared to speak.

They all held their skins tightly, fearing that if they made a sound accidentally, they would be dragged away and beaten to death by the angry Emperor.

A death like that would be in vain.

Liang Jiugong ran in sweating profusely, knelt on the ground, and gasped heavily.

"Your Majesty, everything is fine in Shou'an Palace, and the Fifth Prince is also fine."

After saying that, he lowered his head and took a deep breath.

"As for the Fourth Prince, the imperial physician confirmed that he has contracted smallpox."

"Except for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the other princes..."

Liang Jiugong gritted his teeth and spoke out in one breath.

“They are all infected.”

After saying that, he knocked his head against the ground, not daring to move.

Kangxi stared at Liang Jiugong closely, his face turned pale, his eyes turned red, and the sound of Bing Chizi could be heard.

"Who?"

"Who wants to harm me?"

Bang.

Everything on the table was swept off the ground.

Crackling sound.

It hit Liang Jiugong's heart.

Liang Jiugong actually breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that His Majesty was willing to smash things.

I’m afraid that the Emperor won’t smash things, but will just drag him out and chop him up.

Liang Jiugong lowered his head, but his speech was not slow at all.

"I have found out that the smallpox was brought in from the East Suburbs outside the palace. There has been smallpox in the East Suburbs for some time, but it has been hidden. Last month, a young eunuch brought in smallpox dandruff from there."

"A few days ago, that little eunuch entered Concubine Tong's Chengqian Palace. The Fourth Prince must have contracted smallpox at that time."

"Somehow, smallpox powder was put on the Fourth Prince's body. At the palace banquet tonight, the little eunuch bumped into the Fourth Prince, knocking the smallpox powder out, causing the princesses and princes who were close to him to be infected with smallpox."

"Yu Yingying of Chengqian Palace has also contracted smallpox. I have sent someone to take him out of the palace."

"Empress Tong is fine."

"For the other ladies, the time is too short and the imperial physician has not yet made a diagnosis."

"..., before I had the chance to interrogate the two young eunuchs, they had already committed suicide by taking poison."

"All other palace maids and eunuchs involved had accidents and died."

After saying this in one breath, Liang Jiugong's heart was in ups and downs. He felt that this year was the most dangerous moment in his career.

Can I survive today?

That’s what His Majesty said.

"It's useless. Let An Yi check it out."

Liang Jiugong had never thought that His Majesty's voice was so beautiful.

"I will go down and give the order right away."

"Come back and tell the people in the Imperial Hospital that my son is missing and none of them can survive. Give me their best efforts to treat him."

"twitter."

Liang Jiugong walked out of the main hall with trembling legs, wiping the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, his eyes full of luck.

Survived, survived.

really not easy.

The position of Imperial Chamberlain looks glamorous on the surface.

Who knew how thrilling it was.

Let’s not talk about the glamour first.

There are many fatal things.
