All the doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau were waiting outside anxiously. Their faces were solemn and their expressions were tense.

Many people were coming in and out, carrying various herbs and tools, but everyone knew the situation was dire.

Finally, when Wen Shichu finally finished the acupuncture, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Shen Meizhuang hugged the child tightly, tears welling up in her eyes again. The emperor also walked forward and gently stroked the child's forehead, his eyes full of concern and expectation.

After Wen Shichu finished the acupuncture, he knelt on the ground and said anxiously:

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I have done my best. Smallpox can cause high fever and itchy skin, and I have done some treatment. Now please return to the Yangxin Palace for the time being to avoid infection!

After the smallpox, some children return to their original appearance, but others are left with spots on their faces.”

The emperor looked at the Seventh Prince and reached out to touch the child's face.

Shen Meimei turned the child around and said, "Your Majesty, please go back to the Yangxin Palace first. When the Seventh Prince is better, you can come and see him again! The emperor's health is the most important thing. Please move!"

The imperial doctors, palace maids, eunuchs, etc. from the Imperial Hospital knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, please take care of yourself and move to the Yangxin Palace!"

Under the earnest pleas of the crowd, the emperor reluctantly stood up, left Tangli Palace and returned to the Yangxin Palace.

The Seventh Prince's illness came too quickly, which made Shen Meimei confused for a while, but after thinking about it carefully, she wondered how a healthy child could get smallpox.

She asked the wet nurse, "Who has the Seventh Prince been in contact with in the past few days?"

The nurse knelt down and kowtowed, trembling and saying:

"Reporting to the queen, the Seventh Prince is young and usually stays in the West Side Hall. His meals are taken care of by Caixing and Caiyue. These days, Hongfu also often looks after the Seventh Prince.

"My dear prince, we, as servants, dare not treat you with disrespect!"

Shen Meimei just felt that the onset of this illness was strange, but she couldn't tell what was wrong for the time being.

"My lady, Concubine Ning is here. She said she wants to take care of the Seventh Prince because she had smallpox when she was a child. If you have had this disease once, you won't get it again. I think it will be good for our Seventh Prince if Concubine Ning takes care of him!"

Hong Fu bowed and saluted.

After Shen Meimei listened to her, she looked at the data above Hong Fu's head, which showed 50%. Oh my God, could it be her?

Caixing and Caiyue were at a loss and just knelt in front of the bed and cried.

"Quick, please invite Concubine Ning in!" Shen Meimei said.

Ye Lanyi walked quickly into Tangli Palace. She knelt on both knees and saluted:

"I pay my respects to Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine. May Her Majesty live in peace and good health! I have had smallpox, so it is most appropriate for me to take care of the Seventh Prince!"

Shen Meimei: "Get up, you and I are sisters, no need to be polite, as the saying goes, a friend in need is a friend indeed, I thank you on behalf of the Seventh Prince!"

Soon, the palace maids and eunuchs in the harem who had contracted smallpox came to the gate of Tangli Palace and asked to come in to serve the Seventh Prince.

"Your Majesty has maintained harmony among the six palaces, allowing us servants to live a decent life. Now that the Seventh Prince is in trouble, we should come and help!" A palace maid knelt at the palace gate and begged.

"Yes, the Imperial Concubine would normally reward me with gifts, some of which I have never seen before! I cannot repay this kindness, and I am willing to serve you, Prince!" an eunuch said loudly.

Shen Meizhuang stood at the door, looking at the sincere expressions on these people's faces, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.

She had always treated the eunuchs and palace maids in the harem as equals, and believed that she had not given them any special care or favors.

However, at this moment, when the Seventh Prince was in trouble, they actually came forward and expressed their willingness to serve him. This act of gratitude made her feel very gratified.
