During these days, he got along with Xu Zhaoyi and found that she looked especially like a young queen.

This feeling gradually brought back memories of his youth.

So when the prince and princess made mistakes, he once again chose to forgive them.

"Shi Wan, will Xu Zhaoyi really die?"

His tone was filled with worry.

Somehow, he always felt a sense of resentment stuck in his heart.

Lu Shiwan stood up and bowed to the emperor, "Father, mother is fine. I have already given her an acupuncture injection. She just needs to take the antidote for the plague in a while."

The emperor was feeling extremely sad just now, but after hearing what Lu Shiwan said, he immediately stopped thinking about it.

"Really?"

A look of joy appeared on his face unconsciously.

When Mo Qitian heard that his mother was fine, tears welled up in his eyes and he looked at Lu Shiwan not far away with gratitude.

How could he have met such a woman?

Warming his heart little by little.

"Yes." Lu Shiwan couldn't help but look worried, "Father, Doctor Wang and I repeatedly told you to seal off the harem. Can mother still get the plague?"

The emperor thought of Zeng Wanyi who had secretly gone to the imperial study to plead for mercy a few days ago, and said with disgust:

"A few days ago, Zeng Wanyi came to the Imperial Study and begged me to spare the Second Prince. It was at that time that Zeng Wanyi disregarded my orders and came to the Front Court."

"She must have contracted the plague at that time and then passed it on to Xu Zhaoyi."

After hearing this, Lu Shiwan immediately denied it.

"Impossible. If she had the plague, someone in the previous dynasty must have had it too."

"But you are all fine, so it is absolutely impossible that you were infected in the previous dynasty."

Lu Shiwan narrowed her eyes and looked at the palace maids and nannies present.

"Just now you said that mother went to the Imperial Garden and the Cold Palace in the past few days?"

The head maid Banqing knelt down hurriedly, "Princess, yes."

"Are you all following?"

"My princess, yes." Ban Qing thought for a moment and said, "However, when Xu Zhaoyi went to the cold palace, she did not allow us servants to enter. She only asked us to wait at the door."

"After returning, Xu Zhaoyi became unwell."

"But at that time, Concubine Xu told us not to call the imperial physician, as she would be fine after a few days of rest."

"We were stopped by Consort Xu, so we dare not go and invite her rashly."

After hearing this, the emperor cursed:

"Asshole! As palace maids, even if your master forbids you to do so, you should still ask the Queen Mother and the Empress for permission."

"Knowing that this is an emergency period of the plague, how dare you slack off?"

"Someone, drag these palace maids out, Fang Shangsi!"

When the palace maid heard this, she was so scared that she fell to her knees and cried for mercy.

"Your Majesty, please spare me. It's not that we didn't want to go. It was Empress Zhaoyi who said that the harem was busy and asked us not to disturb the Empress and the Queen Mother. That's why we didn't dare to go."

"Her Majesty Zhaoyi is usually so kind to us servants, and I don't want her to be like this either."

"Please have mercy, Your Majesty."

Nanny Chang crawled to Lu Shiwan's feet and cried for mercy.

"Princess, I have followed you for more than 30 years. You are like my family. Please plead for me."

"I cannot leave my lady."

Lu Shiwan turned sideways and bowed to the emperor.

"Father, Nanny Chang and the others are all close to Mother. Mother has long been accustomed to them. Even if they want to punish her, we will wait until Mother wakes up and makes the decision herself."

"If I punish her rashly, when she wakes up, she will find herself surrounded by a group of unfamiliar palace maids. I'm afraid it won't help her condition."

After hearing what Lu Shiwan said, the emperor was deeply troubled.

But this is also true. If we rashly let the new palace maid come, she might not be able to serve us well.

"I will spare your lives for now!"

The palace maid thanked him: "Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, Princess Qi."

Mo Qitian said in a deep voice: "Father, the maid said that she went to the cold palace and felt unwell after returning. Could there be a plague spreading in the cold palace?"

The emperor was noncommittal.

"Eunuch Li, go and take a look immediately."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Eunuch Li hurriedly took a few eunuchs out and trotted all the way to the cold palace.

Here, the director of the Imperial Medical Bureau rushed in from outside. When he saw Lu Shiwan, his legs went weak and he almost spilled the medicine.

I heard that she pulled Xu Zhaoyi back from the brink of death?

Lu Shiwan winked at him.

"Your humble servant greets His Majesty."

"Your Majesty, this is the medicine I brewed myself."

The senior palace maid Banqing took it from him and walked to the bedside to serve Xu Zhaoyi.

Doctor Wang said, "I don't know, could you please let me take your pulse?"

The emperor nodded unhappily, "Go ahead."

After all, it’s a good thing to have one more person to take your pulse.

Lu Shiwan is really quite capable.

I don’t know if she is willing to be a female doctor in the palace?

He was quickly rejected by this idea.

How can a female doctor have a higher status than a princess?

Besides, how can a woman be an official?

Doctor Wang was shocked. He had never thought that a person who was beyond medical help could actually come back to life.

That strong pulse was better than that of an imperial physician like him.

He turned around in surprise and faced Lu Shiwan.

"I don't know what method Princess Qi used?"

How could Lu Shiwan say that?

She used electric shocks, intravenous drips, and all kinds of modern medicines?

She took out a silver needle from her waist and showed it in front of Doctor Wang.

Serious nonsense.

"I used silver needles."

Doctor Wang was so excited that tears filled his eyes, as if he had discovered a treasure.

"Princess, can you teach me?"

"I spent several days learning your needlework last time. This time, I will speed up and learn it!"

Lu Shiwan shook his head.

Doctor Wang: Hmm?

"Doctor Wang, I don't have time now. I opened a shop in Qinyuan City and I'm very busy."

After hearing this, Doctor Wang was so nervous that he could not speak coherently.

"Princess, I can resign..."

Emperor: "Ahem."

Doctor Wang stopped talking midway and looked at the emperor in fear.

"Your Majesty, I am a minister..."

"Go back."

Doctor Wang is the head of the Imperial Medical Service and cannot leave the hospital.

From this day on, he had to issue an order that no one from the Imperial Medical Bureau was allowed to leave the hospital unless it was necessary.

So as to avoid causing trouble one by one.

Just then, Eunuch Li came back with an extremely ugly look on his face.

He gasped and said, "Your Majesty, someone has died in the cold palace."

"Yes, it's... Zeng Wanyi and her maid."

The emperor frowned.

"Is it really her?"

"Yes, she was already stiff when I went there."

When Doctor Wang heard this, he said hurriedly, "It must be the plague. Concubine Xu was sick after being in the cold palace, and Zeng Wanyi died again."

"Quick, seal off the cold palace."

Eunuch Li patted his chest and said, "I was so scared. Fortunately, I wore a face towel and washed my hands."

At this moment, everyone in the room was in panic. If the plague spread in the harem, it would definitely cause quite a stir.

The harem is the most important place for the royal family.

The emperor gave the order immediately.

"Someone is coming."

Soon, the royal guards rushed in from the door.

"Your Majesty, I am here."

"Burn Zeng Wanyi and seal off the cold palace!"

"Yes."

Lu Shiwan was puzzled. Zeng Wanyi went to the previous dynasty and was banished to the cold palace. How could she die within just a few days?
