Doctor Zhang panicked when he heard this, and his body began to tremble even more violently...

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. It was my negligence. Please forgive me!" All Doctor Zhang could do now was to kowtow to the emperor and apologize. The emperor raised his hand, and Su Peisheng went up and held Doctor Zhang.

"I am grateful that you have served the various palaces diligently over the years, so I will allow you to retire and return to your hometown to enjoy your retirement. Go ahead..." The emperor raised his hand, his eyes even colder.

He has been very busy with government affairs recently and had not been paying attention to the harem for just a few days, and then something like this happened. Even a mere imperial physician dared to do this, it's really abominable!

"Your humble servant thanks the emperor for his grace." Doctor Zhang knew what the emperor meant. If he continued to make trouble, it might not be as simple as letting him go back to retire, so he bowed deeply to the emperor.

"Master Zhang, please come in." Su Peisheng stood beside him and said this. Doctor Zhang also wanted to get up, but he couldn't...

Meng Zhaoxing, who was standing by, raised his hand to help. Doctor Zhang looked at Meng Zhaoxing. Meng Zhaoxing thought that Doctor Zhang would resent him, and he didn't want to see this situation, but if he didn't say anything, he was afraid that the harem would be infected...

Unexpectedly, Doctor Zhang looked at Meng Zhaoxing with eyes full of guilt, and Meng Zhaoxing lowered his head in shame.

Finally, Su Peisheng stepped forward to help, and with the help of Meng Zhaoxing, Doctor Zhang finally stood up...

Doctor Zhang stood up straight, bowed to the emperor, and then left the Palace of Tranquil Longevity with Su Peisheng.

"Master Zhang, please stay." As soon as he walked out of the door of the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, Su Peisheng called out to Doctor Zhang.

"Thank you for what I just said, Eunuch Su. Please speak, Eunuch Su." Doctor Zhang turned around and looked at Su Peisheng with gratitude on his face.

"Master Zhang, are you still unwilling to reveal who asked you to keep your mouth shut?" Su Peisheng asked with a smile. Doctor Zhang's expression suddenly changed, and in an instant, even his breathing became rapid.

"If Lord Zhang is unwilling to say it, then so be it. I won't force you..." After Su Peisheng finished speaking, he turned around and walked in without looking back.

Forget it, he is about to retire and return home. For the sake of his family, he won’t say anything...

Doctor Zhang hesitated for a moment, wanting to call out to Su Peisheng, but he opened his mouth but said nothing. For the sake of his family, he couldn't say anything...

Doctor Zhang walked dejectedly on the palace road. When he passed Changchun Palace, he took a deep look at the palace gate. He felt that he was really old, and his eyes on people were getting worse and worse...

So he shook his head and continued walking towards the Imperial Hospital.

After this day, the former deputy judge, Dr. Sun, was promoted to judge, and Meng Zhaoxing was promoted to deputy judge, with full responsibility for this epidemic.

*Chengqian Palace.

"My lady, the little maid in Changchun is named Yun'er. She came out of the cold palace that day and never returned to Changchun Palace. She became a maid sweeping the floor in the empty Shufangzhai.

I have inquired clearly. She was just a little maid guarding the cold palace before. Later, I heard that she found a good way with money and was transferred to another place..." As soon as Xiao Zhongzi came in, he reported, fearing that his master would be waiting anxiously.

"What a comprehensive plan!" An Lingrong said coldly, her eyes even colder.

"Your Majesty, if that's the case, it will be hard for us to catch her. She will definitely not admit what happened that day." Ju Qing spoke with some worry, and An Lingrong's eyes also turned a little colder.

"Where is the little palace maid from the Imperial Household Department?" An Lingrong continued to ask.

"She is going to deliver underwear to each palace today. The person who is keeping an eye on her has not yet come to report to me where she is going to send the clothes today. Once I get the news, I will come to report to Her Majesty without stopping." Xiao Zhongzi answered, and An Lingrong nodded.

"Okay, keep watching. If there is anything else, let me know first." An Lingrong ordered again, and Xiao Zhongzi responded and walked out.

"My lady, what should we do about this?" Ju Qing was really worried. This was because the spread of the epidemic did not discriminate between people...

"It's okay, just wait. I want to let her know how painful it is to be hit on the foot by a rock..." An Lingrong said with a smile on her face.

"Go and tell Baoque to seal all the underwear sent today with oil paper, and have Zhan'er deliver it to Changchun Palace in the evening."

An Lingrong knew that among these underwears infected with the epidemic, there must be a portion for her. This was the same routine as the last time she put "something" into the wet nurse's underwear. The old brain was the old brain, and this might not be enough...

"I understand." After hearing this, Ju Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief and agreed with a smile.

"As for Xianfu Palace, send someone to pass a message and ask Concubine Jing to have someone wrap it in oil paper and have Zhan'er go get it in the middle of the night. As for Concubine Rui and Concubine Xin, just ask them to wrap it up and keep it." An Lingrong continued to instruct, and Juqing, who was no longer depressed, finally smiled and nodded.

Just as I finished giving the instructions, someone came from outside to deliver the inner clothes distributed by the palace maids this month.

In the past, the palace maids had to ask someone to pick these things up in person. Now that there is an epidemic, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has started to send people to deliver them, so that they can avoid contact with each other.

This method was thought up by Meng Zhaoxing. The servants and maids serving in the harem placed the supplies on the stone table at the entrance of the palace. After everyone left, the people from each palace took the supplies away from inside. This method really reduced the contact between people...

Bao Que received instructions, and after the things arrived, she put on a mask and sewn oilcloth gloves, took the clothes aside, wrapped them in layers of oil paper, found a place to put them, and waited for nightfall.

An Lingrong was sewing gloves and a mask for Zhan'er with oilcloth in the hall. Zhan'er looked at the sewn things and felt that they were waterproof and anti-toxic, which was really good...

Nearing the hour of Chou, when people were sleeping soundly, Zhan'er took the oil-paper package, jumped up, and "flew" onto the roof. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared.

It was not until three quarters past midnight that Zhan'er returned to Chengqian Palace.

"How is it? You haven't been discovered, right? Why did you come back at this time?" Zhan'er appeared in the inner hall, and Luying hurried forward to ask.

"Are you still worried about my work?" Zhan'er said, and then looked at An Lingrong and said, "Madam, I put one of those clothes in each of their closets."

After she finished speaking, she had a smile on her face, and An Lingrong knew that she was seeking credit.

"How come Zhan'er is so awesome? Baoque, make five-spice pickled fish for Zhan'er tomorrow. If Zhan'er wants to eat anything else, tell your sister Baoque tomorrow..."

An Lingrong spoke with a smile, and Zhan'er nodded in thanks, smiling very proudly.

"It's getting late, let's all go back and rest." An Lingrong said as she yawned, and everyone left.

In the evening of the next day, news came from Changchun Palace that someone had a fever, and An Lingrong finally showed a knowing smile on her face.

Another day passed, and everyone in Changchun Palace, including Concubine Duan, was infected with the so-called "cold"...

The third prince was filial and insisted on going to Changchun Palace to serve. As expected, he also fell ill.

It was nearly a month before the epidemic completely disappeared. Concubine Duan recovered, but her health was not as good as before. This shows how serious the epidemic was...

After the epidemic, the emperor ordered An Lingrong and Concubine Jing to go to Baohua Hall to pray for blessings. When Concubine Duan found out, she fainted from anger...
