The disease successively transmitted to the harem, the crown prince could not resist the infection of the disease;

Grandmother was worried for the prince's safety, so all the princes stayed away from the palace.

"Reporting to your majesty!" The counselor quickly walked in from outside of the palace, rushing to say something.

Xuan Ye frowned slightly. "What's the matter? Why are you so flustered?"

"Your Majesty, just now, I heard that there was a eunuch in the Palace who suffered from smallpox." the counselor said in panic.

"What?" Xuan Ye stood up. Yesterday, besides the infected eunuchs and longevity, two more palace maids had the fever of smallpox, and the palace had long since been sealed. You're not allowed to go in or out of this place, but … But why would there be people who became ill in the Palace of Tzu Ning? Could it be that this smallpox virus had already left the Shoukang Palace? Xuan Ye worriedly took a few steps forward. If he couldn't do it, he would immediately go to the Peace Palace to see his imperial grandmother and Baocheng.

Just as Xuan Ye was about to give his orders, Liang Jiugong entered. "Your majesty, the imperial palace has sent someone to deliver the message. The empress dowager invites you over for a moment."

"Advisor's firm, drive the Palace of Peace." Xuan Ye nodded and instructed frantically.

The empress dowager's face was filled with worry as she sat on the warm brick bed and sighed softly.

"Old Ancestor, you don't have to worry too much. Just think of a way when the emperor arrives." Lama nun comforted her softly.

"Sigh!" Smallpox! Even Wu Sanguan would not think so, but only this. Back then, it took away my son, Fu Lin, as well as the life of Xuan Ye's eldest son, Cheng Rui, and also the death of Ah Ru Na. It is truly a terrifying enemy, and even the Emperor cannot do anything about it.

"Old Ancestor, have you sent the emperor over? Have you already made up your mind what to do?" Generally speaking, if a Lama Nun had no idea what the empress dowager was like, she wouldn't easily summon the Emperor. The two of them were worried about each other, and it would be better if they made their own plans before discussing things.

The empress dowager nodded. "Sigh! This Dowager really can't stand any more princes who have gotten into trouble. Six princes died in succession all these years, and this Dowager's heart is filled with fear.

The Sultan nodded and was about to speak when the noise of the eunuchs came from the palace gates: The Emperor has arrived! Xuan Ye walked through the entrance of the East Warm Pavilion. "Royal Grandmother, are you and Preservation well?" Has the infected court member been dealt with? "

"We're doing very well. It's all right for now," the empress dowager nodded. "Your majesty, don't be nervous. Let's sit down and talk."

Xuan Ye obediently sat on the side of the warm brick bed and looked worriedly at the empress dowager.

"Your Majesty, there are many people in the palace who are suffering from pimples these days, and there are only two ways to deal with them. The first way is to take those who are sick out of the palace and treat them; the second way is to protect those who are not sick from smallpox when you were young. However, at the moment, other than the illness in Shoukang Palace, there are also infected people in This Dowager's palace, and the other palaces do not dare to guarantee their safety. From what This Dowager sees, it is best to have the uninfected Crown Prince and three other princes leave the palace at this time to avoid teasing. " The empress dowager said solemnly.

"Royal Grandmother, do you mean for the crown prince to protect the safety of the palace as well as protect the safety of Qing, Wan Fu, and Prince Yin?" To leave the palace alone? " Xuan Ye asked with wide eyes.

"Your Majesty, the princes are a continuation of the Great Qing Dynasty. This is a lifeline, nothing can go wrong, so only they are safe to leave the palace." The empress dowager nodded.

"Then... What about you, Grandmother? Where's the Queen Mother? What about the other wives? " Xuan Ye asked with a frown.

"Shoukang Palace, the Tzu Ning Palace, as well as the empress dowager's current residence, Shouan Palace, have all been sealed. The other imperial concubines' residences forbade them to leave the palace as well. They can only treat them extremely well in times of emergency." The empress dowager helplessly sighed.

"Your Majesty! Old Ancestor! "Oh no!" Cao Zhong, the head of the Tzu Ning Palace, hurriedly ran in.

"What's wrong?" Both the empress dowager and Xuan Ye were shocked.

"Old... Old Ancestor … Huang … "Your Majesty …" Cao Zhong said while trembling, "Just …" The wet nurse just found out, too... The Crown Prince also … "It's getting hot too …"

"What?" The empress dowager and Xuan Ye rose at the same time and headed for the Western Warm Pavilion at the same time. Pao Cheng was lying on a warm brick bed, his face red.

The empress dowager felt her head grow dizzy. "Cao Zhong, quickly send someone to call for the imperial physician." The empress dowager sighed. "Your majesty, there's no time to delay. Please give the decree to move the other three princes out of the palace. Longevity and Baocheng are already infected, so there shouldn't be any more problems with the others."

"Royal Grandmother!" Xuan Ye's face was filled with pain as he looked at the empress dowager. This damned smallpox, he resented in his heart.

"Your Majesty, please make the arrangements as soon as possible so that the princes can leave the palace with their princes today. Each prince will only send one trusted eunuch to follow them, so that they can temporarily stay in their official's home." The empress dowager felt like she had no more strength left, so she spoke softly.

"Yes!" Royal Grandmother, your grandson will arrange it right away! " "" Xuan Ye calmed himself down. He knew that he must remain calm. The other three princes must not be harmed. That is the dragon vein of the Great Qing, the continuation of the Great Qing Imperial Family. " Royal Grandmother, I'll leave the guarantee to you. Your grandson will go and make the arrangements. "

The empress dowager's face was filled with bitterness as she nodded. The battlefield was calmer and the palace more peaceful, yet another incident like this had occurred. The heavens were playing tricks on the Great Qing.

Within the palace, Rong'er hadn't had a good night's sleep since she found out that Changsheng had contracted smallpox. She was worried about her son's future, fearing that something bad might happen to him, but since she couldn't see him, her heart was filled with an indescribable feeling of desolation.

"Rong'er, worrying here is useless. It will only make you feel worse. Don't think too much about it, I'm sure I'll be fine." For the past two days, she had been watching Rong'er. She felt really sorry for her, thinking about how Rong'er was really living a hard life. Although there were a lot of children, each one of them was more dangerous than the last.

Yes, the first lady is right, young one. Your little brother is fine, your eldest mother is not sad. " "He sat down in the arms of Tzu Chi and said in a thoughtful voice.

"Yes, we, the Crown Princess, are absolutely right!" This little princess, she really likes her to her heart's content.

Rong'er glanced at Rongxian and nodded in gratification. She lightly patted Prince Zhi's chest and looked at his small face. Unconsciously, images of longevity would surface in her mind.

The palace maid, Qiao Yu, who was guarding the door suddenly walked in. "Reporting to my lord, a few eunuchs from the Internal Affairs Bureau have come. They wish to see my lord."

"Oh? What is it? Ask them to come in. " Rong'er nodded slightly as he replied.

A few of the eunuchs came in and saluted Rong'er first before saying in a clear voice, "Reporting to the young master, these servants have sent an imperial edict to escort Prince Zhi and Yin out of the palace. Please hand the prince over to the servants."

"What?" Rong'er's eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at his father-in-law.

"Young master, to be honest, the crown prince seemed to have caught an illness today. The empress dowager and the emperor were worried about the safety of the other princes, so they had to send all of the princes out of the palace today." Xuan Ye had already instructed them to tell him the truth, so they didn't dare to hide it from him.

"Did he get smallpox?" Rong'er stared at them in disbelief as he subconsciously held tight to Prince Fu. "No …" No... "I want to take care of Zhi in person. Tell the emperor that he mustn't leave my side."

"Young Master Rong, it is not only the princes from your house who are leaving the palace. Even Imperial Concubine Zhao's master and her concubine's master are leaving the palace today, please do not make things difficult for the servants, they are just following the imperial decree." The leader looked at Rong'er with a worried expression. They were slaves, so it wouldn't be good for them to fight over them.

"No …" Rong'er held on to Zhi Yin, tears unconsciously sliding down her cheeks.

Seeing this, Wang Jingzhi couldn't help but lightly sigh. She put down the imperial edict, walked to Rong'er's side, and whispered, "Rong'er, letting the prince leave the palace is for the good of the prince. Now that both the prince and the longevity prince have contracted an illness, for the prince's good, the emperor's arrangements are correct.

Rong'er raised his head and looked at Wang Jingzhi with misty eyes. "Jing`er …" Wang Jingzhi gently received Prince Zhi from Rong'er's arms. He was still sound asleep when he felt a headache coming on and turned to the head eunuch. "I'll have to trouble all of you eunuchs. May I ask where I'll send prince out of the palace?"

"Young master is being too courteous." The eunuch, seeing how courteous he was to his lord, replied hurriedly, "Reporting to my lord, the servants are only here to fetch the prince. I've heard that they will be sent to the family of the minister. As for who it is, the servants really do not know."

"No!" Seeing Zhi Yin about to be carried away, Rong'er grew more and more reluctant to part with him. He sat up and prepared to carry him back, but Wang Jingzhi shot a glance at the eunuchs, who immediately saluted. "This servant will take his leave first!" Rong'er stumbled toward them, shouting, "Don't go!"

The eunuchs also quickly backed away from the door when they saw the situation. Seeing how their first mother was crying so miserably, Prince Rong rushed over to the head eunuch who was holding Yin in his arms and grabbed his robes. "Don't take him away," he wailed. Little brother, your mother will be hurt. "

"Princess, please don't make things difficult for the servants." The chief eunuch broke out in a cold sweat when he saw the princess in such a state.

When Wang Jingzhi saw this, shshequickly went over and pulled at Rong Xian, "Rong Xian be obedient, they are doing this for you." Good day disciple, you don't cause any trouble! " As she spoke, he lifted Prince Rong from the side of the eunuch. Seeing that she was relieved, the eunuch in the lead hurriedly took a long breath and left the room in a brisk pace.

In Rong'er's room, Rong'er was crying uncontrollably, because longevity and Baocheng were both infected by the disease, and because he was also worried about Prince Yin. At the age of six, she might not have fully understood the situation, but she knew that her first mother was very upset, so she was very sad too.
