The Seventh Princess learned that the Prince's Courtyard had been burned down and hurried to the scene.
Looking at the ruins.
She shouted with grief and anger, "Who burned my princess's cook to death!"
Yes, she really regarded Li Qian as her cook.
Even yesterday, she asked Li Qian to make her a lot of snacks and delicacies that could not be eaten in the palace or bought outside, and she even used a carriage to transport them back to the palace.
In her words, if Li Qian was tortured to death by those Xiqiang envoys, wouldn't it mean that he would never be able to eat the delicacies cooked by Li Qian again.
But unexpectedly, Li Qian was burned to death before the Xiqiang envoys could cause trouble.
She was angry, she was angry, who would give her good food in the future?
"Your Highness the Seventh Princess, this was an accident."
Several Dali Temple officials who were responsible for the aftermath came over quickly.
The Prince's Courtyard was burned down, and of course Dali Temple must be brought to justice.
But everyone, including the prince, thought it was an accident.
Since it was an accident, the case can naturally be closed.
"Accident?" The seventh princess sneered.
Without saying anything more, he rode away.
The news that Li Qian was burned to death spread quickly.
In the eyes of many people, he was already considered dead, so when those people heard the news, they were only slightly surprised, and then nothing more.
After all, even if an arrogant and ignorant person is not burned to death, he is destined to not live long, so it is not a big deal.
Besides, today is the emperor's birthday, what could be more important than this.
Dou Mansion.
"What happened to those Xiqiang envoys?"
Dou Huaishan stared at Dou Fu and asked.
"A few people have red rashes all over their bodies and their faces. They look terrible." Dou Fu said tremblingly.
"It's not crazy, it's not crazy, but it's a rash?" Dou Huaishan's eyebrows twitched, "Then are they still sane?"
"They were all still conscious, but they kept scratching their bodies and faces. Prince He Musi immediately tied them all up and locked them in a room. No one was allowed to come near them." Dou Fu swallowed his saliva and said.
"Doctor, have you found the doctor?" Dou Huaishan continued to ask, his face getting more and more ugly.
"I looked for a doctor before, but when I saw their appearance, I was immediately scared away." Dou Fu said.
"Sir, can it be smallpox? I heard that smallpox breaks out from time to time in the Xiqiang Kingdom." Then he plucked up the courage to ask.
After asking, his body became weak.
When those beauties heard the word smallpox, their faces turned pale with fright.
After all, in this era, smallpox is more terrifying than a scourge. It is extremely contagious and has a high mortality rate. There is no cure at all. Who is not afraid?
In fact, many people died of smallpox in Dacheng every year.
However, the health environment of Xiqiang Kingdom is much worse than that of Dacheng. In addition, it is a small country, so the frequency of outbreaks is indeed higher than that of Dacheng.
"It's probably because of the drinks." Dou Huaishan said solemnly.
"All those Xiqiang envoys drank that wine, and so did Prince Hemusi. He was fine. Why did only some of them have problems?" Dou Fu said.
"No matter what is going on, seal the news first and kill the doctor!" Dou Huaishan said expressionlessly.
After all, regardless of whether those Xiqiang people really had smallpox, this matter must not be leaked.
Then he looked at the beauties again.
The beauties were so frightened that they quickly knelt down and said, "Master, my slaves promise not to say anything. Please forgive me!"
Dou Huaishan showed a gentle smile, "What are you doing? Get up quickly and continue grooming me. Don't miss the time when I enter the palace."
The beauties breathed a sigh of relief and got up from the ground.
"Father!"
At this time, Dou Zhun walked in shouting.
"How could Li Qian be burned to death? Did you ask someone to do it?"
Dou Huaishan frowned, a little unhappy that his son was yelling like this.
But it seems that Li Qian was really burned to death.
"Young Master, your face!" Dou Fu pointed at Dou Zhun as if he had seen a ghost, with a horrified look on his face.
And those beauties were so frightened that they turned pale again and even retreated to the corner.
"What's wrong with my face?" Dou Zhun asked in confusion while scratching his face a few times.
Only then did Dou Huaishan glance at Dou Zhun.
Then he took two steps back involuntarily.
