Since Mrs. He knew Yin Zhuzi, she had known this result for a long time. She sneered and said: "But what if the infectious disease cannot be cured or cannot be cured? Who can afford it then? What if our old lady has a Three long and two short, your royal family must be responsible to the end!"
Everyone in the palace turned cold upon hearing this.
Li Qingyi asked Xie Rao, "I can't tell what disease I will be infected with, so I can only wait for the disease to develop before I can prescribe the right medicine? Is there no other way?"
Xie Rao shook his head, "Now we can only try to take some precautions."
"Absurd... Ridiculous!" He Wenjie was a self-proclaimed scholar, but he couldn't read anything well. He was so anxious that he had no idea at all.
Everyone's expressions became solemn as they listened to his ramble.
The scary thing is not being infected, but what kind of disease you are infected with. If it is some kind of epidemic, how can you cure it? What's more, there is no guarantee that people who come into contact with Mrs. He will not be infected. This is the most terrifying thing.
The old lady glanced at the old lady of the He family who had fainted from fright, and made a decision immediately, "Close the gate of the palace, and everyone who has come into contact with the old lady of the He family will be sent to the guest house in the back for a while, and each person will have a room until confirmation. Leave only if you have nothing to do!"
Mrs. He was startled, "Are you going to lock us up?"
The old lady glanced at her coldly, "You have no right to speak! If you say another word, you will be handed over to the Yamen directly!"
The disease is so serious. If someone is suspected of being infected with the disease, the Yamen will immediately come to arrest him. The officials will not wait for your illness to be confirmed before dealing with it, but will directly kill and burn him on the spot to prevent the spread of the disaster.
Because there are many examples of one person infecting a whole family, then infecting neighbors, and finally infecting a whole village. No one dares to joke about this.
Mrs. He was startled when she heard this and immediately shut up. She was the person standing closest to the old lady.
Nan Zhu turned around and returned to the crowd. Seeing her empty hands, Mrs. Lin couldn't help but frowned and said, "Where's the cloak?"
"Princess! The cloak is gone! I searched everywhere, but I didn't see the cloak. I asked someone and they said Miss Lin had taken it away. The servant hurriedly went to Cailingxuan where Miss Lin lived, but she didn't see Miss Lin either. people."
Lin's eyes deepened, "Didn't you see anyone?"
At this moment, footsteps came from outside the courtyard again, and then Chang Lan dragged Lin Mi in. Lin Mi was still dragging half of his cloak in his hand.
He must have just missed it with Nan Zhu.
Everyone looked over in surprise, and Li Qingyi asked: "Chang Lan, what's going on?"
"When I rushed to Cailingxuan, I found Miss Lin burning the cloak. I tried my best to save half of it..."
"What?" Mrs. Hong was shocked, "What does Miss Lin mean? Why did you burn the cloak?"
Mrs. He Da looked on at the side with a sinister expression, "Huh, of course I want to destroy the evidence."
Lin Mi was suddenly caught and faced with everyone. He was a little confused for a moment. When he heard Mrs. He said that she wanted to destroy the evidence, he came back to his senses and said, "Aunt, Mi'er really doesn't know what that insect is about..."
Mrs. Lin glanced at the cloak that was burned beyond recognition, and said solemnly: "Then why did you burn the cloak?"
Lin Mi glanced at Mrs. He. Although she had her reasons, she couldn't say those words in front of the He family. After hesitating for a moment, she murmured: "I feel that this cloak is unknown, so I want to burn it and wait for it later." Sew another one for the old lady..."
"Unknown?" Mrs. Heda said with contempt and doubt, "Miss Lin's words are really hard to convince everyone."
In fact, it is possible for a little girl to be afraid of doing something that goes against common sense, but once someone jumps out to question it, it is untenable at all.
"Mi'er!" Mrs. Lin looked at her seriously, "Mrs. He Da said that she saw the bug coming out of the cloak with her own eyes. Why don't you explain it clearly!"
Lin Mi was so frightened by Mrs. Lin's angry shouting that she trembled and raised her head aggrievedly.
In fact, she is not stupid usually, but today's incident happened suddenly and made her completely confused, so she lost her bearings.
"Aunt, I didn't do anything. I just wanted to give you a gift for the old lady's birthday." She bit her lip, "Could it be that the He family deliberately brought the Silver Spider here to slander the palace and use it to slander the palace?" Are you seeking any benefit?"
This was obviously what was in her heart, and she had to say it now.
In fact, everyone thought so at first.
But Mrs. He didn't show any guilt at all, so everyone gave up the idea.
Mrs. He looked at Lin Mi with a sneer, "Miss Lin, let's not talk about where the bugs came from. If Miss Lin didn't do anything wrong, why did she burn this cloak?"
"I..." Lin Mi looked at Mrs. Lin, speechless.
Mrs. Lin stared at Lin Mi closely, "Mi'er, you are not afraid of shadows when you are upright. You haven't done anything, so what are you afraid of? If you have anything to say, just say it in front of the old lady."
It is true that Lin Mi did nothing, but the matter of burning the cloak was indeed difficult to explain. If the old lady knew that she wanted to burn the cloak in order to avoid guilt, she would definitely look down on her and even drive her out of the palace.
She pursed her lips, as if she was trying to hold back something to say. Her subconscious actions were the most suspicious, and the old lady's eyes became a bit colder.
"How dare you!" Mrs. Lin suddenly stood up from her seat and shouted angrily: "How dare you deliberately murder the old lady!"
Lin Mi felt his heart tightening, and finally dared not hide it anymore, "No! I didn't murder the old lady. It was Ziqian who came to me and told me that Mrs. He had a rash on her body. Mrs. He also insisted that it was in her cloak. The bugs that came out, I thought, instead of Mrs. He using this to attack the young aunt and grandma, I might as well burn the cloak. Then no one can tell where the bugs came from. This matter... just passed. …”
When everyone heard this, they suddenly realized that Lin Mi still wanted to make meritorious deeds!
Of course Mrs. He refused to buy it, "I don't care what the reason is, the fact is that you want to destroy the evidence and blame our old lady for being bitten in the palace!"
"No!" Lin Mi shook his head desperately, "If it's not evidence, then what kind of evidence is it? I embroidered the cloak stitch by stitch. Don't I know whether there are bugs or not?"
At this point, she couldn't explain it clearly. She thought of Ziqian in a blink of an eye and said quickly: "It's Ziqian. Ziqian said that Mrs. He was bitten because of my cloak. The old lady will definitely blame her and will also implicate the princess." , she was the one who gave me the idea to get rid of this cloak!"
Lin Mi looked behind Ms. Lin, Ziliang shook her head in panic, and knelt down in front of everyone: "No, I didn't. I just told Miss Lin that there were bugs in her cloak, and Mrs. He got a rash because of it. The slave didn’t say anything else!”
When Lin Mi saw that she didn't admit it, his eyes widened and he couldn't understand why.
Li Qingyi raised his eyes slightly and asked Ziqian, "Since you are the maid serving the princess, didn't you follow the princess here just now? Why did you suddenly go back to tell Miss Lin this?"
