After Laifu was ordered to investigate, the imperial doctors turned around and prepared to return to the Imperial Hospital.
They need to prepare some precautionary measures before continuing to treat the princess... In other words, Gu Xuan is the heart and soul of Emperor Xianzong of Han Dynasty. If it were anyone else, they should stay away from her at this time.
After all, the most feared thing about the plague is its widespread spread.
Han Xianzong carried Xie Ziyue to the side hall. Even in her sleep, Xie Ziyue looked extremely uneasy.
Her picturesque eyebrows were tightly knitted, and her expression looked particularly uneasy. She held Han Xianzong's clothes tightly with both hands, and said in her mouth: "Axuan, be careful, be careful..."
Xie Ziyue dreamed that she was taking her daughter to play football, and her daughter always ran to dangerous places. No matter how hard she chased, she couldn't catch up. She felt anxious, so she kept telling her to be careful behind her.
It's a pity that her daughter seemed to be unable to hear her words and still ran forward on her own. In the end, she disappeared.
Xie Ziyue woke up with a cold sweat on her head and found herself lying on the bed, with Han Xianzong holding his hand with a worried look on his face.
"My beloved concubine, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere else?" Han Xianzong felt deeply distressed when he saw Xie Ziyue's flustered expression. It's just that he didn't dare to show it in front of Xie Ziyue, so he pretended to have a gentle tone.
"Your Majesty?" Xie Ziyue looked at him blankly, her expression empty, as if she was trying to remember something.
She was not confused, and she was worried for a long time, but she couldn't help but ask: "Is Ah Xuan infected with the plague?"
Even though she knew it wasn't her hallucination, she still had one last fantasy in her heart. What if?
What if everything is my illusion?
Han Xianzong remained silent.
He didn't know what tone to use to answer, so he could only acquiesce at this time.
An atmosphere of silence and fear spread in the room. Xie Ziyue closed her eyes, looked indifferent for a moment, and stood up to put on her shoes.
"My beloved, where are you going?"
"Go and accompany A-Xuan." Xie Ziyue stood up and walked out of the hall, her steps very fast.
She who usually cares about her appearance the most doesn't care about anything at this moment, and nothing is as important as her daughter! Even though her hair was now disheveled, she didn't care at all.
There was only one thought in her heart and eyes, that is, she had to guard A-Xuan. As long as she guarded A-Xuan, she would not lose her.
"My beloved concubine." Han Xianzong stepped forward and held her captive: "The imperial doctor said that this plague is extremely contagious... Don't go..."
When Han Xianzong said this, his eyes were bloodshot and his tone was filled with sadness: "Axuan doesn't want you to catch the plague."
"I've been with A-Xuan for so long, maybe I've already contracted it." Xie Ziyue, who had completely lost her mind, didn't think like an ordinary person. Her thoughts seemed to be solidified at the moment, and her tone was very cold:
"As long as we, mother and daughter, are together, no matter what, I will be with her."
She tried hard to break free from Han Xianzong's arms, but Han Xianzong's arms were like the most solid imprisonment, tightly binding her here, and she couldn't break free even with all her strength.
Because of Xie Ziyue's desperate struggle, beads of sweat broke out on both of their foreheads. The scorching heat made Xie Ziyue regain her senses, and tears instantly burst out of her eyes:
"Axuan has contracted the plague," she choked, "my daughter has contracted the plague."
Why is this happening?
Why wasn't she the one who contracted the plague?
From the moment she knew the truth, Xie Ziyue complained in her heart, why did her daughter get sick but she was not the one who got sick?
Huizhou has lost so many people to the plague that it can be called a hell on earth. The horror of this plague can be seen.
Now her daughter has contracted such a terrible plague.
Xie Ziyue couldn't control her panic, and even thought desperately that if something happened to Ah Xuan, she wouldn't survive.
Listening to Xie Ziyue's words, Han Xianzong's eyes were full of pity and filled with pain.
He kissed Xie Ziyue's hair and took a deep breath: "I am the emperor, and A-Xuan is my eldest daughter. She is the most noble princess in the palace. My ancestors will definitely keep her safe."
"You are in the side hall. Don't disturb the imperial doctor. The head of the imperial hospital has seen plague patients in Huizhou before and has rich experience. With them here, Ah Xuan will be fine." At the end of the sentence, Han Xianzong asked again. Xie Ziyue, don’t go there.
Xie Ziyue was unwilling and begged him with tears: "I'll be guarding outside the palace. Is it okay if I don't go in and disturb you?"
Emperor Xianzong of the Han Dynasty had never seen Xie Ziyue be so cautious before, and his heart ached suddenly and the tip of his nose felt sore.
The two hugged each other and felt that the world was unfair. How could such a good child like A Xuan be infected with the plague.
Han Xianzong finally agreed to keep Xie Ziyue guarding outside the palace, but not too close. He always stayed with Xie Ziyue.
The affairs of the government were instantly forgotten by him. He stayed at Weiyang Palace all day long. What he cared about the most was Gu Xuan's condition. Once the imperial doctor's expression became solemn, he would become suspicious and desperate.
Under such circumstances, the atmosphere in the palace was delicate.
Even the Queen Mother, who had been worshiping Buddha for many years, came out to preside over the situation at this moment. Rumors spread in the palace that Princess Xiangjia had contracted a fatal plague. Weiyang Palace was now directly sealed off, and it was unknown how many maids and eunuchs were infected.
Everyone is afraid of death, and everyone is in danger for a while.
But the emperor and the imperial concubine were so worried and anxious, no one would be stupid enough to say this to these two people, unless they were tired of living and wanted to go down to see the King of Hell in advance.
But the suppression of public opinion is different.
The news that the eldest princess of Xiangjia had contracted the plague seemed to have grown wings and spread throughout the palace in a short time.
It even reached the ears of courtiers.
The courtiers thought that Han Xianzong had not gone to court for two days, so how could they not know that this matter was indeed true?
The emperor is the foundation of Jiangshan Sheji. His Majesty actually abandoned the government because of a princess and stayed in Weiyang Palace every day. This is to ignore Jiangshan Sheji!
At this moment, they seemed to have forgotten that Han Xianzong was also a mortal with seven emotions and six desires, and he was also a father who loved his daughter. They entered the palace one after another to meet the saint.
More and more ministers wanted to meet the emperor, and their voices became louder. Han Xianzong had no choice but to summon these ministers in Qinzheng Hall.
However, in just two days, his eyes were all red and bloodshot, and the green stubble still appeared, looking extremely haggard and decadent.
Not only was Emperor Xianzong of the Han Dynasty the most handsome man in the world, he at least inherited the fine genes of the royal family and was always very handsome.
With his current appearance, the courtiers almost didn't recognize him.
But after being stunned for a moment, they regained their hard-heartedness and only thought about the safety of Jiangshan Sheji.
Even the left prime minister came out and said solemnly:
"Your Majesty, since the princess is infected with the plague, it is better to completely close the Weiyang Palace and leave a few imperial doctors. The other imperial physicians have to prepare for other emergencies in the palace. Otherwise, if the plague spreads, the palace will be unimaginable..."
