Chapter 116 The Concubine Gets Typhoid Fever
At this time, Song Wanru had a very high fever and her consciousness was already blurred.
She could sense the arrival of the imperial physician, but she was unable to react. The high fever made her body so weak that she could no longer lift herself.
"Imperial Physician! What happened to my queen?"
Vanilla asked softly, glancing at Song Wanru, whose face was flushed red.
The beauty lying on the bed no longer had her usual casual and free-spirited look, but instead looked more pitiful as if she was seriously ill, especially her extremely pale face, which resembled the beauty of Nan Xiang when she was seriously ill.
"If you agree, you must have caught typhoid fever!" the imperial physician said with some certainty.
"how come?"
Upon hearing this, Vanilla became a little flustered and couldn't help but clench her fists.
When she thought about how Caizhi had just told her not to get close to the Ministry of Punishment, as the area was infected with an epidemic. Although it was only a small-scale incident, the situation was quite serious and several palace maids and eunuchs had died.
Then she thought about how she had just been in such close contact with Song Wanru, and she immediately understood what the imperial physician meant when he first told her to take precautions.
It turned out that the imperial physician wanted to warn her that her young lady might have been infected with the epidemic.
If you don't take any precautions, you are likely to get infected.
When she thought about herself contracting typhoid fever and becoming as seriously ill as the palace maids and eunuchs who died in the Ministry of Punishment, her whole head seemed to be struck by a bolt from the blue.
"Doctor! What should I do?"
Vanilla said this with some fear, her tone trembling and her voice shaking.
"Every typhoid patient is different. Some have a fever and confusion, others have a rash and a high fever..."
The imperial physician listed a lot of symptoms that the imperial physicians in the Ministry of Punishment had summarized, which made Xiangcao's body sway a little and she almost fainted several times.
"Please ask the doctor to save me!"
Vanilla immediately squatted down and begged. When she heard that her master had been infected with typhoid fever, she became a little uneasy.
"Let me prescribe some herbs to reduce your fever."
The imperial physician shook his head helplessly. He didn't have much experience in this kind of situation and really didn't know what to do.
However, Song Wanru has contracted typhoid fever, so he must report it to the emperor or other imperial physicians as soon as possible.
He prescribed a prescription for reducing fever for Xiangcao and asked her to send someone to get it from the Imperial Hospital, and also told Xiangcao not to move around casually.
"Vanilla thanks the doctor!"
Xiangcao looked bitter, not understanding how Song Wanru contracted typhoid fever.
Then, she quickly thought of something. She remembered that after paying her respects, Song Wanru went to the Imperial Garden, saying that she wanted to meet the emperor by chance.
As a result, the emperor returned empty-handed without meeting the enemy, and passed by the alley of the Ministry of Punishment on his way back to the palace.
At that time, the emperor had not yet ordered the Ministry of Punishment to be sealed off.
……
After the imperial physician left Yufu Palace, he hurried back to the Imperial Hospital and informed other imperial physicians of the news that Song Wanru had contracted typhoid fever.
Upon hearing the news that Song Wanru had contracted typhoid fever, all the imperial doctors could no longer sit still.
His face was full of sorrow and he was in a very upset mood.
Today they studied the symptoms at the Ministry of Punishment and prescribed some medicine, but the number of infected people is still increasing uncontrollably, and casualties are also gradually increasing.
The specific treatment has not yet been developed.
If the infected person is a palace maid or eunuch, it would be fine. But if it is a concubine, the situation would be complicated.
The Emperor must be informed, and it will likely cause panic in the palace.
"Report to the Emperor!"
As Imperial Physician Xu said this, he ordered someone to deliver the message to the Yangxin Palace.
At this time, Gu Junshen had already left the Yangxin Palace and walked towards Wangyueju.
The people from the Imperial Medical Bureau only met the eunuchs who stayed behind in the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.
The eunuch in the Yangxin Palace was informed of the news and asked to inform the emperor immediately.
……
After hearing what Nanxiang said, Gu Junshen frowned slightly and fixed his eyes on Song Nanxiang.
Nan Xiang explained softly, "Your Majesty, please don't blame me! I have also heard the rumors about the Ministry of Punishment, and now I am just protecting you. I hope your Majesty will grant me your blessing!"
As Nan Xiang spoke, she looked at Gu Junshen with pleading eyes, and at the same time touched her already obviously pregnant belly, her expression and behavior were extremely pitiful.
Gu Junshen shook his head helplessly, a smile rising at the corner of his mouth.
Although I didn't understand the purpose of Nanxiang's doing this, I understood her desire to protect herself.
Who would not feel terrified upon hearing the news from the Ministry of Punishment?
Although he has tried his best to control the spread of rumors in the palace, there is no such thing as a wall that is impenetrable, and many concubines are probably unaware of it by now.
Even Song Nanxiang, who never leaves her house, heard the news, which shows how widely the news spread.
"Then let's do as my beloved concubine said."
Gu Junshen looked at Song Nanxiang with a more doting look, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a bit of unruly.
Nanxiang gave the small notebook a look.
The little notebook understood what he meant and immediately soaked a white cloth in alcohol and gently wiped Gu Junshen's outstretched hand.
"Your Majesty! I am sorry for my crime!"
"No problem! Come on! Do as your queen says."
Gu Junshen chuckled nonchalantly, allowing the small notebook to gently wipe his hands and clothes.
The little notebook did not use too much force. The emperor had such a noble body that his white cloth only needed to lightly touch the surface of his clothes.
Next is the neck.
As he picked up the notebook, Gu Junshen also smelled a pungent odor.
It's not that it smells bad, but it's a bit strange.
It was like a bar, but the alcohol was more pungent than normal. The aroma of wine was gone, only the smell of alcohol remained.
'What is this? '
He couldn't help but feel puzzled, and there was a hint of inquiry in his eyes when he looked at Nanxiang.
Nanxiang just chuckled and didn't answer him.
Long before the news that the emperor had turned over her name was passed to Wangyueju by the Jingshifang, Nanxiang made the decision to protect herself and her child even if it meant letting Gu Junshen discover the presence of alcohol.
And Gu Junshen would definitely ask, so she had also thought of a corresponding statement before meeting Gu Junshen.
"Your Majesty! It's done!"
As Xiao Benzi spoke, he turned his gaze towards Song Nanxiang.
Nan Xiang spoke softly to Gu Junshen, pursing her lips slightly with a smile more beautiful than fireworks.
"Your Majesty! If a eunuch follows in, he must also wipe it. This is for my safety."
"Can!"
Gu Junshen felt a little confused about this move, but he generously agreed to Nanxiang's request.
He wondered if this thing was made from medicine and wine to prevent the spread of typhoid fever?
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your help!"
Nan Xiang finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this, but she was afraid that Gu Junshen would not accept her idea of wiping alcohol, which would make her embarrassed.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Benzi immediately brought several eunuchs to Gu Junshen's personal eunuch and started wiping.
Gu Junshen was just about to walk up to Nanxiang and hold her hand to lead them into the hall when a word from Liu Sheng made him freeze and stop.
After hearing this, Nanxiang also felt a little uncertain.
"Your Majesty! The imperial physician sent a message that Ru Ying from Yufu Palace has contracted typhoid fever! She has a high fever and is unconscious!"
After Liu Sheng received the message from his subordinates, he took steady steps and hurriedly followed Gu Junshen to tell him the news.
