"Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine, the eldest princess's pulse condition is a little strange... It doesn't seem like she has suffered from cold, but it seems like..."
When he said this, the head of Taiyuan Hospital looked embarrassed, with worries in his eyes, as if saying this would cause trouble.
"What does it look like?" When Han Xianzong saw the expression on the head of the courtyard, his heart thumped and he asked quickly.
Xie Ziyue even tightened the handkerchief in her hand, praying in her heart that it would not be a big deal.
For the first time, Taiyuan Hospital saw the two people looking panicked, and sighed: "Wei Chen went to the Huizhou area a few days ago. Those who were infected with the plague at that time seemed to have this pulse..."
The plague was severe in Huizhou before. Emperor Xianzong of the Han Dynasty called on folk doctors to go here. The head of the Taiyuan Hospital also invited himself to sit in Huizhou. Even the right herbs were prepared by him and his fellow doctors.
Because of this, the head of the Taiyuan Hospital was very familiar with the pulse of the plague, and could tell the subtle differences between the pulse of people infected with the plague and other people with high fevers.
If they had not gone to Huizhou and come into contact with patients suffering from the plague, it would be difficult for an imperial doctor to detect such pulse symptoms. This was also the reason why the two previous imperial doctors could not detect it.
The head of the Taiyuan Hospital looked solemn, obviously he did not expect the plague to spread to the palace.
No one in the capital knew where the plague broke out, so why was the palace the first place where it broke out? It's incredible.
Since the eldest princess is infected with the plague, none of the people who come into contact with the eldest princess can escape. After all, the plague is extremely contagious.
"Why is this happening?" Han Xianzong was a little distracted, with pain flashing in his eyes.
Why did it have to be A Xuan? Why did A-Xuan contract such a fatal disease when she was still so young?
Han Xianzong's originally upright figure seemed to have become much more stooped at this moment. Even though he was the emperor in charge of the world, he could not see through the matters of life and death in this world.
Especially now, those who are facing this kind of dilemma are his own flesh and blood.
"Empress!" Han Xianzong was in a daze when he suddenly heard Taoxiang's panicked cry next to him.
He turned around and saw Xie Ziyue holding her forehead and shaking, about to faint and fall to the ground.
When those words came out of the mouth of the head of the hospital, Xie Ziyue felt like she was divided into two halves. One half was still mechanically watching the other person's mouth open and close, and the other half was twitching in pain.
Plague... The moment she thought of this word, she seemed to hear her own rapid breathing. Everything was distorted into broken blocks of color in her eyes. Panic surged into her heart, and a wave of dizziness hit her. The man fell softly to the ground.
"My beloved concubine!" Han Xianzong caught Xie Ziyue, feeling unbearable pain in his heart. He raised his head and ordered a group of trembling imperial doctors:
"Come quickly and show the imperial concubine."
One of the imperial doctors standing at the door stepped out, checked Xie Ziyue's pulse, and then said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the empress was so angry that she fainted."
Apparently Xie Ziyue couldn't bear to faint after hearing that her daughter contracted the plague.
Han Xianzong hugged Xie Ziyue tightly in his arms, his heart sinking even more. It is obvious to all how much Ah Yue loves Ah Xuan. She has raised her daughter single-handedly. If anything happens to the child, I am afraid she will also...
Thinking of this, Han Xianzong could hardly control his mood and ordered angrily:
"Now the emperor just has a fever, it is still in the initial stage. You all give me all your strength to treat my emperor. If anything happens to the emperor, you all go to bury the eldest princess with him!"
"Your Majesty..." The doctors at the imperial hospital were frightened. This is a plague! Even if they have great abilities, they can't give guarantees.
Just seeing Han Xianzong's eyes bursting with bloodshot eyes, they really didn't dare to say anything else at this time. If they offended Long Yan, it would be no joke.
This angered the furious and flustered emperor, and the whole family might be implicated.
Throughout the ages, imperial doctors have always been a high-risk profession. If anything happens, the imperial doctors will be buried with them. Therefore, the imperial doctors looked at each other for a moment and had no choice but to accept the job with a grimace.
However, in order to ensure the safety of others in the palace, the head of Taiyuan Hospital solemnly spoke:
"I will do my best, but Your Majesty... This plague is extremely contagious, but when you have a fever, the plague is still in the incubation period. If you isolate the patient at this time, there is a certain chance that you will not be infected. Your Majesty, please treat Weiyang quickly. The whole palace is under lockdown to prevent it from spreading widely in the palace."
The meaning of the words of the head of the hospital was very obvious. He asked Han Xianzong to seal off the Weiyang Palace from top to bottom, and also isolate the princess from other people who had not had a fever, because these people might not be infected.
"Empress..." Taoxiang lay next to Xie Ziyue, her face full of tears. Seeing that Xie Ziyue was unconscious, she wiped her tears and said firmly:
"Your Majesty, let me take care of the princess. I am not afraid of being infected."
Taoxiang has been with Xie Ziyue for so many years and has never suffered any ill treatment. Moreover, she watched the little princess grow up and had a deep affection for the little princess. She really couldn't stand the fact that the princess was isolated alone.
"Your Majesty," Nanny Sun and Nanny Li also looked at each other, and they also volunteered to take care of the princess.
"Taoxiang, stay with my beloved concubine. The emperor's side will be taken care of by the two nuns and the imperial physician." Han Xianzong's fatherly heart was attached to Gu Xuan. Xie Ziyue collapsed and fainted. There was no shortage of heartbreak either.
In this situation, Xie Ziyue had no one to live without. She was Ah Xuan's biological child, and no one had a deeper affection for Ah Xuan than she did. Han Xianzong was afraid that she would do something irrational.
It's just that he is a man and an emperor, and he cannot fall at this time.
He forced himself to stay awake and ordered Xin Zhangjing: "Go and block the news. This news cannot be spread. Weiyang Palace cannot be entered or left."
Xin Zhangjing looked serious and knew that the situation was serious. After receiving the order, he hurriedly went down to do the work.
After Xin Zhang paid his respects, Han Xianzong looked at Laifu, who looked worried: "Laifu, go and find out for me who spread the plague into the palace!"
Since the outbreak of the plague, everyone in Weiyang Palace knew how vigilant Han Xianzong was.
On weekdays, everything is checked carefully when it comes in, which also reduces the time for taking A-Xuan out to play.
Xie Ziyue was afraid that the plague would spread to Weiyang Palace, so she planned to create a safe palace for Ah Xuan... But fate played a trick on her, and Ah Xuan actually became the first person in the palace to contract the plague...
It's just that there is an undercurrent in the palace. There is no guarantee that there is a person infected with the plague hidden somewhere, and then someone will use it to spread the disease to A Xuan. Otherwise, why would something happen to her who is so good?
Thinking of this, Emperor Xianzong of Han Dynasty gritted his teeth with hatred and swore secretly in his heart that if he caught this person, he would make him regret coming to this world.
