Zuo Xiangming had a smile on his face and said calmly: "Since it is His Majesty's order, I will naturally abide by it. It's hard work for the captain of the guard... I just don't know how long the siege will last?"
According to the captain of the guard, Emperor Xianzong of the Han Dynasty ordered that all officials' residences be surrounded and no one would be allowed in or out.
It would have been fine before, but now... Thinking of this, Prime Minister Zuo gritted his teeth in his heart, feeling that his younger brother was extremely stupid. At this moment, he was staying in the mansion like a time bomb.
Prime Minister Zuo was worried and wished he could just let this person disappear.
Although the captain of the guard is also a somewhat respectable figure in the capital, he still cannot be compared with the head of officials like Zuo Xiang.
Seeing the friendly attitude of the left prime minister, the captain of the guard felt comfortable, and naturally he was willing to reveal something to him:
"Of course we have to wait until Lord Qin finds out the truth."
This was the only information that the captain of the guard knew. Even if he wanted to tell the left prime minister, he did not dare to ensure the authenticity of the other information.
His determined tone made Zuo Xiang's heart sink. He didn't know if his second brother's hands and feet were cleaned when he left Huizhou...
But according to Qin Xing's method, no matter how well he handled it, as long as the person released by Huizhou was not dead, it would only be a matter of time before the truth was revealed under severe torture.
It seems that I still need to make plans early.
With a thousand thoughts in his mind, Prime Minister Zuo sent away the captain of the guard, looked at Prime Minister Zuo's mansion surrounded by people, returned to his study and closed the door, and did not come out most of the night.
At this time, the palace was in a state of chaos.
Gu Xuan had been suffering from a high fever for two days in a row, feeling hazy and unconscious. She didn't even have dreams. She just felt like she was in a big furnace and she couldn't get out no matter how hard she tried.
Occasionally when she regained some consciousness, she could occasionally hear the voices of the imperial doctors discussing around her, but because her head was too groggy, she could not hear what they said clearly.
Just when she was doubting whether her brain would be cooked, the fever finally subsided.
But her throat became very sore, as if there was a fire burning in it. Gu Xuan couldn't even make a sound and could only keep crying.
After her fever subsided, she heard the imperial doctor discussing in front of her bed and knew that she was infected with the plague. In ancient times, plague was almost an incurable disease.
After the shock and disbelief she had just heard, she was finally able to bear it mentally better than before, but she still felt sad and sad.
After finally being reincarnated into such a favored princess, she is about to die on her third birthday?
There are also the mother and the father... Thinking of Xie Ziyue, Gu Xuan felt a sore nose. Her mother and concubine were originally destined to have no children. After having her, she loved her with all her heart. What would the mother and concubine do if she died? ?
And is the mother and concubine okay? Has she also contracted the plague?
Gu Xuan was thinking about this in her heart. When the head of the Taiyuan Hospital came to give her medicine, she asked him in a low voice:
"Where's the mother-in-law?"
The voice was a little hoarse and had a strong nasal tone.
The head of the hospital was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes softened a lot. He also has grandchildren at home. The eldest princess of Xiangjia is only a three-year-old child after all. It is normal to miss her mother and concubine after not seeing her for so long.
"The empress is guarding the little princess outside the palace every day, but the princess's illness is not cured yet, so you have to drink the medicine obediently. When the illness is cured, you can see the empress."
The head of the hospital gave Gu Xuan medicine while talking. When she heard that her mother-in-law was fine, Gu Xuan felt relieved and finished the medicine.
The head of the hospital watched her drink the medicine with his own eyes and checked her pulse before exiting.
He smoked special herbs in the outer room to ensure that he did not carry the plague before going out. Xie Ziyue was indeed sitting at the door of the main hall of Weiyang Palace.
After the anxiety of the first two days, Xie Ziyue has already found something to distract herself. She asked Taoxiang to bring her needlework and embroidery brocade bag, and her fingers did not stop for a moment.
In just two days, I made several cute designs of tigers, kittens and rabbits.
It's just that these kits are more or less stained with blood from the fingertips of needles, which shows her anxiety.
Seeing the head of the hospital come out, Xie Ziyue quickly stopped and stood up. The head of the hospital nodded to her and said:
"Your Majesty, the eldest princess's fever has gone away today. The minister has given the princess some medicine. We still have to wait and see how the princess reacts tonight."
When he said this, the head of the hospital looked thoughtful. Of course the medicine he was talking about at this time was not an ordinary medicine, but a medicine that had been prepared in Huizhou before.
The effects of this medicine are polarized. If you endure it, you will be reborn. If you cannot bear it, you will continue to be eroded by the plague. The head of the hospital had asked Han Xianzong and Xie Ziyue for instructions before.
Xie Ziyue heard this and clenched the brocade bag in her hand, her expression suddenly enlightened.
Seeing this, the imperial doctor sighed secretly, and in order to comfort her, he said specifically:
"My dear, there is no need to worry. Her Royal Highness, the eldest princess, has her own good fortune. Today I asked my minister where you are. The situation of the victims is many times better than that of the previous victims. I think you will be able to turn the disaster into a good one."
Although the head of the hospital tried to comfort him, what he said was true. There were many victims who had taken medicine to no avail, and many of them had taken medicine too late.
But Gu Xuan was different. So many imperial doctors were always paying attention to her changes, and they immediately fed her the right herbs as soon as the fever subsided. At least they caught up with her in terms of timing.
It also increases your chances of success.
But the head of the Taiyuan Hospital didn't dare to guarantee it. Gu Xuan was too young, and he was really worried that he wouldn't be able to withstand the effects of the medicine... In general, everything depends on God's will.
"What does A-Xuan ask me?"
Xie Ziyue hadn't seen her daughter for a few days. She was so worried about her that she couldn't even eat meals every day. She lost weight in just a few days.
At this moment, when I heard the head of the hospital say that her daughter was awake, and even mentioned herself, her eyes lit up.
"The princess is young and she probably misses my empress." said the head of the hospital.
Xie Ziyue handed the brocade bag she had embroidered in the past few days to Taoxiang beside her. Taoxiang understood and gave it to the head of Taiyuan Hospital.
"Next time the Chief of the Labor Court brings all these tips to A-Xuan, just say that I gave them to her, and ask her to be obedient and take the medicine..."
The illness is in the child and the pain is in the mother's heart. Xie Ziyue is not only worried that her daughter will be uncomfortable, but also worried that she is too young and will not take medicine, which will delay the treatment.
"It's not good! It's not good!"
Before the head of the courtyard could speak, he saw a palace maid hurriedly trying to run into Weiyang Palace, but was stopped by the guards at the door.
"The Imperial Concubine, our princess has a fever. Please ask the imperial doctor from the Royal Hospital to check on our princess! Our princess suddenly had a severe fever last night and is now unconscious!"
If not Wan'er, who is standing at the door? Wan'er looked anxious, almost crying. If the guards at the door hadn't stopped her, she would have rushed in long ago.
In the past few days since the incident in Weiyang Palace, Lanxin Palace has not been peaceful either. But Concubine Rou was cruel and suppressed the news that the second princess had a fever in order to clear herself from suspicion.
Until today, the wet nurse was crying and kowtowing. She felt that the time was right, so she asked Wan'er to come here and make sure to make this matter a big deal.
