Why?
Su Xing was startled and looked at His Majesty in surprise.
Seeing his expression, Chen Jue also knew that Su Xing understood.
He didn't say much, smiled lightly and turned to leave.
He wanted to see what kind of medicine Li Qing was selling in his gourd, and what exactly was he trying to hide from himself?
It's just that the matter about Li Qing hasn't been found out yet, and another matter suddenly came out from the imperial concubine.
That night, Chen Jue was reading the memorial from Luo Jing, when suddenly there was a cry from the palace attendants around Concubine Jiang asking for permission to see her.
The palace people guarding outside all knew that Concubine Jiang was His Majesty's favorite. When they heard something happened to Concubine Jiang, they hurried in to report it.
"Your Majesty, the imperial concubine suddenly had a high fever and kept calling the emperor while she was unconscious. The imperial doctor was helpless and couldn't wake up no matter how hard she screamed..."
"High fever? How come you have a sudden high fever?"
Chen Jue suddenly stood up, frowned and walked out with a hint of anger, "How do you serve the imperial concubine and make her develop a high fever?"
This high fever seemed to be a minor illness, but Chen Jue knew that in ancient times, when medical conditions were not very good, a high fever could easily kill a person!
Now is not the time to be angry and held responsible. Chen Jue hurried to Concubine Jiang.
As soon as Chen Jue passed by, he saw all the palace servants running out of the imperial concubine's room in panic.
It's like there's some terrible monster inside.
Seeing this, Chen Jue was furious.
Liu Zhong, who was catching up quickly from behind, saw this, pointed at them and shouted angrily: "The imperial concubine is sick, what are you doing standing outside, why don't you hurry in and serve her!"
They didn't expect His Majesty to come so soon. When they heard Liu Zhong's angry shouts, they immediately knelt down.
One of them had the courage to say tremblingly: "Your Majesty, it's not that the slaves are not going to serve you, but... it's the imperial concubine who has contracted the epidemic!"
"What!?"
Liu Zhong was shocked when he heard this, and his hand movements were faster than his brain to stop Chen Jue, "Your Majesty!".
Chen Jue, who was about to go in, stopped and looked at the speaker.
Chen Jue frowned, "You were fine during the day, but why did you contract the epidemic at night?"
As he spoke, Chen Jue glanced at the palace servants who usually served Concubine Jiang.
Just at this moment, the gray-haired Imperial Doctor Liu, Doctor Si and the eldest maid next to Concubine Jiang came out.
The three of them all wore veils to cover their faces. When they saw Chen Jue, they all stood at a distance and saluted him.
Chen Jue waved his hand and asked, "Si Yan, is the imperial concubine really infected with the epidemic?"
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, your Majesty is indeed infected with the epidemic."
Si Yan looked cold and said calmly: "It is not appropriate to stay here for a long time. Your Majesty, please leave."
Hearing her words, Chen Jue looked at Dr. Liu on the side again, "Your Majesty, what Miss Si said is absolutely true. Your Majesty, please leave here."
Seeing that the two of them were so sure, Chen Jue's heart sank.
I thought it was just a high fever, but I didn’t expect it to be an epidemic!
If having a high fever worries Chen Jue, then the current epidemic scares him even more.
There is at least an 80% chance of being saved if you have a high fever, but it is different with the current epidemic.
Not only is it impossible to save, there is also a risk of infection.
Liu Zhong on the side was shocked and frightened after hearing the words of the two doctors. He quickly bowed and begged His Majesty to leave here.
"Your Majesty, you are of high status. Doctor Liu and Doctor Si are here to watch over you. Your Majesty will be safe. Please leave here."
"Your Majesty, let's get out of here first!"
Chen Jue looked around with a sullen face, and his eyes fell on the closed door in front.
After being silent for a long time, Chen Jue finally looked and said, "Liu Zhong, please go down and tell everyone that no one is allowed to leave this place. Have someone seal this place and don't let anyone enter."
"In addition, there are only a few people left to serve in the imperial concubine's room. The rest are just waiting outside, so don't go in."
"Yes!" Liu Zhong responded immediately.
After giving the instructions, just when Chen Jue was about to turn around and leave, there was a heartbreaking sound of retching inside. After a while, it stopped.
Then came Concubine Jiang's voice, which was soft and weak at times, "Is it your Majesty? How come your Majesty is here? Doctor Si said that I have contracted the epidemic, so your Majesty should not come in."
When Chen Jue heard this, he was worried about her, but he couldn't hold it back.
Ignoring the obstruction of Liu Zhong and others, he quickly walked over, kicked the door open and rushed in.
Concubine Jiang was seen sitting on the bed, her face pale.
There was a copper basin placed on the small stool next to her. The palace attendant on the side was wiping the dense sweat on her head with a handkerchief with tears in her eyes.
"Your Majesty!?" Concubine Jiang was shocked.
"Don't come over!" Immediately, Concubine Jiang screamed.
Chen Jue was startled by her and stood firm, standing far away and looking at her.
"Your Majesty, they said that I am infected with the epidemic. I am so scared, so scared, that I will never see Your Majesty again in this life!"
Concubine Jiang looked at Chen Jue with soft eyes and said sadly: "When I came back at noon today, I felt unwell and couldn't help but want to vomit. I also had a high fever. I thought it was just an ordinary high fever, but I didn't expect it to be the epidemic." !”
"Your Majesty, I'm really scared. I'm afraid I'll never see you again, and I'll never be able to grow old with you."
Hearing what she said, Chen Jue felt as if his liver and gallbladder were split.
Seeing that she was in a bad mood, Chen Jue hurriedly comforted her softly, "Arou, don't be afraid! It's okay. With Doctor Liu and Doctor Si here, you will be fine."
As he said that, he subconsciously wanted to raise his feet to comfort her.
But as soon as he moved, there was another scream from inside, "You are not allowed to come here!"
"Your Majesty, don't come here, get out quickly, get out!"
Concubine Jiang was about to burst into tears, "What will happen if you are also infected with the epidemic? Get out quickly! Get out!"
"Get out quickly!"
Concubine Jiang was so anxious that she beat the bed, and her tears fell unconsciously.
The epidemic is highly contagious, and Chen Jue does not dare to stay here for a long time.
After going out, Chen Jue freshened up first, and then asked the imperial doctor to come over and take his pulse.
After drinking the decoction to pre-treat the epidemic, he began to ask Concubine Jiang about the epidemic.
"Your Majesty, Miss Qingwu said that where the empress went today was normal, and the food she ate was normal. There was nothing abnormal," Liu Zhong reported.
"Normal?" Chen Jue frowned, "If it's normal, will the imperial concubine be infected with the epidemic?"
Chen Jue was very angry when he couldn't find the source of the epidemic on the imperial concubine. He grabbed a memorial and threw it at Liu Zhong's head.
"What are you doing standing here? Why don't you hurry up and find out where the epidemic is coming from!"
Liu Zhong bowed and stood motionless, being hit hard by the memorial.
"Your Majesty, calm down!"
Liu Zhong picked up the memorial and placed it on Chen Jue's left hand. He said, "I will send someone to check it now!"
After Liu Zhong left, Chen Jue was still in a bad mood at the moment.
That is an epidemic, an epidemic that can kill many people!
Moreover, the source of the epidemic has not yet been found, so how could he feel better.
Chen Jue was very sad.
