Li Linfu, who was responsible for keeping an eye on the Imperial Medical Office, was really shocked when he saw clearly that the person who got off the carriage was actually the eldest prince who had been almost suspected by the emperor recently.
He was still wondering why the eldest prince suddenly came to the Imperial Medical Office?
I heard him shouting: "Brother Xuan, Brother Wei, the Imperial Medical Office is here!"
The eldest prince's voice was like a loud bell. Li Linfu was watching from the carriage and could hear his voice faintly carried into the alley.
Then, first a boy dressed in brocade clothes came out of the carriage, followed closely by a little boy with a tiger-like head and a tiger-like head.
As soon as the younger one got his little head out of the carriage, he was lifted out of the carriage by the eldest prince.
King Tan led the younger one and the older one, and was surrounded by guards and entourage into the Imperial Medical Office.
Before Li Linfu could figure out what was going on in the Imperial Medical Office today, two more carriages soon drove over, followed by servant girls and so on. The children who got off the carriages were escorted into the Imperial Medical Office in an orderly manner.
"It looks like the Song family's carriage."
He felt something was wrong and ordered his entourage: "Go to the Imperial Medical Office again and be sure to find out what Song Jing wants to do?"
The entourage had no choice but to sneak into the Imperial Medical Office again and inquire about what was going on inside.
Li Linfu waited longer on the carriage this time before his entourage returned from the Imperial Medical Office.
"Sir, I watched Master Song send his family members to the Imperial Medical Office as if they were here to be vaccinated against cowpox."
The entourage reported: "Because the princes and princesses all came to the Imperial Medical Office, which was heavily guarded, the young one claimed that he had fallen behind while going to the toilet and was a member of the Song family. Then he successfully followed the Song family and saw that they had been vaccinated with cowpox. Clinic for seedling jaundice."
Li Linfu felt even more wrong now!
"If the Song Dynasty sent their family members to be vaccinated against cowpox, then the princes and princesses who suddenly came to the Imperial Medical Office must be here to be vaccinated against cowpox."
Li Linfu deduced: "No, the princes and princesses are in such a hurry to leave the palace after getting the Queen's permission. Something must have happened in the capital."
Li Linfu always believed in his own intuition and judgment. His uncle Jiang Jiao also praised him for his ability to find out the trends in officialdom and the capital through clues.
He thought that the princes and young masters suddenly left the palace and came to the Imperial Medical Office. Even Song Jing, who had recently interacted with the ten princesses due to the arson case in the Royal Courtyard, suddenly sent his family members to the Imperial Medical Office. There must be something fishy in this.
Whenever there is any disturbance in the capital, the news will first spread in teahouses and restaurants.
He hurriedly asked his entourage to find the busiest teahouse nearby to find out what major events were happening in the capital.
Although the entourage took a little longer to go this time, it didn't take much effort to find out the news.
"Your Excellency, you really know what's going on!"
The entourage reported: "There are only two things being discussed in the tea house and restaurant today. One is Niu Xiantong who set fire to the Royal Courtyard. He was pushed to the Meridian Gate by Eunuch Yang who was beside His Majesty to be tortured by Lingchi."
"Yang Sixu used a vicious method to hang Niu Xiantong to death. Niu Xiantong could only live in pain and watched his flesh being cut. I heard that the executioner had to cut him with more than 3,000 cuts before he died with the last cut."
"Each time he made a cut, Eunuch Yang asked Niu Xiantong if he would reveal the person behind the murder of the little princess."
"The torture was so brutal. I heard that the people watching the torture were so frightened that they cried. Some people in the teahouse talked about Ling Chi's torture and almost felt sick to their stomachs and vomited..."
Being stared at by Li Linfu with dissatisfaction, the entourage knew that he was a little too verbose and hurriedly said: "For the second one, I heard that as soon as the Qixia Gate opened today, there was a carriage rushing out of the city."
"At that time, people who came to the capital from other places to do business, as well as those who came into the city with burdens to sell goods, were all waiting to open the city gate. The carriage was rushing in a hurry, and there was a military commander riding in front of the horse, waving a whip to clear the way, and knocked him down There was a lame old man and a little beggar in rags."
"The world is bright and clear at the feet of the Emperor. Who dares to be so arrogant and domineering, riding horses in the street? It will surely dissatisfy the people waiting in line to enter the city."
"Everyone stopped the carriage and asked them to pay for it, but when the wind blew at the city gate, the curtain of the carriage was blown open!"
"Guess what, sir?"
Li Linfu took a sharp look at the entourage who was trying to cover up his appearance, and said that the addicted attendant realized that he was not chatting with someone in a teahouse, and was frightened.
"Well, after the carriage curtain was opened, there was a dead man covered in rash inside, and it was covered with a white cloth from the Imperial Medical Office."
"The people at the gate of the city were frightened!"
"Now teahouses and restaurants are talking about the fact that someone in the city has contracted smallpox..."
When people infected with smallpox were transported out of the city, why were they covered with white cloth from the Imperial Medical Office?
If the person who was sent out of the city with the rash was really related to the Imperial Medical Office, then why would the princes, princesses and family members of the Song Dynasty rush to the Imperial Medical Office in such a hurry?
Unless the person who contracted smallpox was not in the Imperial Medical Office.
Li Linfu thought of a house near the Imperial Medical Office that Wang Tao used to study cowpox and smallpox seedlings.
He anxiously ordered his entourage: "Go to the Duke's Mansion quickly and tell your uncle the news about the Imperial Medical Office and teahouses and restaurants."
After Li Sixu entered the Imperial Medical Office, Prince Tan's Mansion and the Song family brought a bunch of people to the Imperial Medical Office for vaccination. The third prince looked at the neat and orderly queues in the clinic for vaccination and secretly sighed.
"Did the little princess play a little too hard today?"
The third prince was confused: "Yesterday at Linglongju, what you and the third brother discussed was clearly to have Yue'er come to the Imperial Medical Office to be vaccinated with cowpox. In order to promote the vaccination smoothly, the third brother asked Mr. Song to help."
"How did you persuade the ladies in the harem to let the Sixth and Seventh Emperor's Sisters, as well as the Thirteenth Emperor's Brother and the First Emperor's Brother come to the Imperial Medical Office?"
"Maybe it's because Sisi is good-looking!"
Li Sixu shrugged mischievously, with a troubled look on her face: "Hey, there's nothing you can do about it because you're so good-looking. Everyone wants to play with Sisi."
The third prince was amused by her naughty energy and flicked her forehead with his fingers.
Li Sixu was in pain and glared at the third prince angrily: "Third brother also knows that Gao Niangniang has been very close to Linglongju recently. The smallpox epidemic is dangerous, and the thirteenth emperor's brother has always been sick and prone to disasters. She said it herself I want the Thirteenth Emperor’s brother to be vaccinated against cowpox.”
"As for Sixth Sister and Seventh Sister, it's because Sister Yue said that there are many delicious and fun places on the South Street outside the palace, which are not available in the palace. She said that she could go shopping on South Street while leaving the palace and come to the Imperial Medical Office. This has never happened before. The sixth sister and the seventh sister who had left the palace were moved."
"Concubine Xian has been very kind to Sisi recently. When she learned that Sisi was going to take the Thirteenth Emperor's brother out of the palace, Concubine Xian asked Concubine Gao and said that Brother Xuan and the Twelfth Emperor's brother left the palace and went to Prince Tan's Mansion. I will send a message to the eldest brother to take them to the Imperial Medical Office for vaccination with cowpox."
"So, more and more people are coming to the Imperial Medical Office for vaccination!"
Li Sixu said helplessly: "In order to promote the vaccination smoothly, Sisi can't stop them all from coming to the Imperial Medical Office!"
