With An Yingcheng's order, a servant immediately walked over. In less than half an incense's time, he brought an elder in a grey shirt along with him.
"Greetings, Prince."
The old man bowed slowly. An Yingcheng immediately raised his hand, "Quickly show First Miss what's wrong with her. Why are there so many rashes?"
When the old man saw the terrifying red rash on An Lingge's face, he was shocked and did not dare to be careless. He immediately took out a thread from the medicine box and used Bi Zhu to wrap around An Lingge's wrist to start pondering.
"The pulse of the young miss is weak and weak, as thin as a sheet. In addition, her face is flushed red and the red rash is everywhere. I'm afraid …"
The grey clothed elder stroked his beard and did not speak out the rest of his words, causing the hearts of An Yingcheng and Madam Li to rise.
"What is it?" Madam Li could not wait any longer and immediately asked.
The old man stared into the eyes of the two and felt that it was difficult to say what he was going to say.
But as a doctor, he naturally couldn't make the two of them anxious, so she immediately said, "These symptoms are similar to smallpox, but they're also not the same. Perhaps this old one's skills aren't good enough, so why not enter the palace and get an imperial physician to diagnose me?"
Smallpox!
An Yingcheng's breath tightened, he didn't even have the heart to ask for an imperial physician to diagnose him.
He dejectedly waved his hand and looked at An Lingge with a complex expression, his cold and detached look carrying a little disgust.
"Father."
An Lingge's flushed face suddenly turned white, but she still bit her lips and looked at An Yingcheng with the eyes of a monk.
"Ling Ge knows very well that her body is gravely ill and is unwilling to infect the rest of the family. Thus, she requested to leave the Duke's Mansion. To be able to glance at Father before she left, Ling Ge already has no other requests."
His small face that was the size of a palm was filled with sincerity, and his clear eyes made An Yingcheng feel weak in his heart.
He had once been a father for the first time and truly liked this daughter of his. However, after marrying the Madam Li and having such a sweet and crafty little daughter like An Lingyi, he naturally forgot about this timid and dull daughter of his.
Now that he was being watched by a gaze like An Lingge, An Yingcheng only felt a part of his heart being hit and hurt.
He coughed unnaturally, not knowing whether he should comfort An Lingge to stay in the Palace or send her out of the Palace immediately.
"It might not be smallpox yet, you …"
"You can stay in the Qing Yun Temple outside the city for a period of time, and take a good rest. Old Master and I will definitely find the best doctor to treat your illness."
The Madam Li interrupted An Yingcheng and looked at him with displeasure in his eyes. She immediately explained with a smile, "This disease is contagious, and for the life of everyone in the Duke Palaces, it's best for Eldest Miss to go out and recuperate."
With just one sentence, she had firmly determined that An Lingge's body was covered with smallpox, and in the name of being nice to everyone, she insisted on sending him out, but she did not know that she was following An Lingge's intentions.
An Lingge's eyes instantly turned red, and tears welled up in her eyes, "If daughter can't pass this test, please take good care of father."
"You silly child, what you say is all nonsense." It was rare for An Yingcheng to soften his tone, but he still went along with Madam Li's words, "When you reach the Qing Yun Temple, I will immediately go to the palace and invite an imperial physician to come for you."
"Thank you, father." An Lingge nodded her head with tears in her eyes. She was extremely grateful, which made An Yingcheng feel both guilt and heartache.
"Whatever it is that you lack here, feel free to tell others to tell the butler. I, the great miss Prince An's Palace, do not allow myself to be wronged." With An Yingcheng's words, Madam Li's face immediately became ugly.
But what made her even more pale was still behind her.
Unknowingly, Bi Zhu had already brought over a small package, "Miss's things are ready, you can set off at any time."
The latter nodded and looked towards An Yingcheng, as if he was in a difficult situation.
"If you have something to say, just say it." An Yingcheng's fatherly love flared up, and he became more patient.
Only then did An Lingge bite her lips, and her hesitant gaze landed on Madam Li.
"Ling Ge's smallpox was spread by Yi Er's sister. Ling Ge's situation is still so serious, I'm afraid that Yi Er's situation isn't any better. Whether or not father will send Little Sister Yi Er to the Qing Yun Temple, we sisters will have to look after each other. "
And An Lingyi!
Madam Li suddenly thought of this matter. She only wanted to send An Lingge, this bitch, away, but she never thought that it would affect her own Yi Er.
So that's how it is. To think that it was this idea.
Madam Li clenched her teeth fiercely, the knife in her eyes staring at An Lingge's body, the hypocritical smile on her face almost could not keep up.
She took a deep breath and laughed, "What First Miss said is wrong, you have smallpox, this is the doctor's diagnosis, but you can't say that Yi Er gave you the smallpox right away. Yi Er is just allergic, with a rash on her body, she might not have smallpox. "
The more Madam Li said, the more confident she became. She looked at An Lingge proudly, "The time that First Miss has spent in contact with Yi Er is not as long as me and Yi Er. If Yi Er had smallpox, wouldn't I be the first one to catch the infection? But look, I'm fine now. "
An Yingcheng looked suspiciously at Madam Li. Thinking that she really wasn't acting strangely, he more or less believed her words.
"If only I could let doctor see it for Little Sister Yi Er, if she doesn't have smallpox, it would be good, but at the same time, I can treat Little Sister Yi Er. If she has smallpox, it would be good for Father to be prepared.
An Lingge's tone was light and gentle, yet she took back the words of the Madam Li, making him speechless for a moment, and actually didn't know what to say.
The confrontation between the two people did not make a sound, so An Yingcheng naturally was not aware of it.
He frowned and thought for a moment, then nodded his head, and said to doctor at the side, "I hope that Elder Sun can give me a hard time to treat my daughter."
The grey clothed elder nodded his head in agreement. Just as he was about to follow the servant towards An Lingyi's courtyard, the sound of footsteps came from outside the courtyard.
"An Lingge, is today's matter something up to you?"
An Lingyi angrily walked in, but just as sshe finished speaking, he was startled by the person in front of him.
"Father, why are you here?"
She lowered her head somewhat guiltily, not daring to meet her father's gaze.
An Yingcheng stared at his youngest daughter with a dark expression.
"Is that how you speak to your first wife? To call him by his full name, to charge recklessly, to even learn the etiquette of a dog! "
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that his cute and cute little daughter would have such an arrogant and despotic side to her.
How could An Lingyi be scolded so harshly? Her eyes immediately turned red.
An Yingcheng did not even look as he spoke to doctor, "Since Second Young Miss is here, let Elder Sun give her the diagnosis."
