An Lingrong is reborn, the reorganized team is killing like crazy

After Meng Zhaoxing left, An Lingrong felt that there was something fishy about this matter. Although it was easy to catch a cold if one was not careful when the weather alternated between cold and hot, there had been many people getting sick in previous years, but it was rare for the disease to spread so quickly.

I'm afraid this is really like what Meng Zhaoxing said, it's really an epidemic...

"Xiao Zhongzi." An Lingrong called out thoughtfully, and Xiao Zhongzi hurriedly responded and walked in.

"Go and find out where this cold first came from, and which palaces have the most infections. Be careful when going in and out, wear the masks made by Juqing and the others, don't get infected, and take care of your health." An Lingrong gave the order, and Xiao Zhongzi nodded and walked out.

"My lady, do you also think this is an epidemic?" Ju Qing replaced the cold tea on the table with an anxious look on her face.

"Whether it's an epidemic or not, this disease is very strange. It's not summer yet, so how can it spread so quickly? And the way it spreads is also strange. It suddenly broke out in the palace out of nowhere...

Tell everyone to wear masks, and wait until Xiao Zhongzi finds out the cause and effect..."

An Lingrong pinched her brows as she spoke, feeling anxious.

What she is most worried about now is the children. Children are young and prone to illness. Although there have been no reports of deaths from the disease in the palaces, this disease will not kill adults, but it does not mean that children will not...

Although the Imperial Hospital did not say that this cold was an epidemic, the treatment methods given to each palace were telling everyone in the palace that this was an epidemic...

In the afternoon of the second day, Xiao Zhongzi walked in hurriedly.

"How is it?" An Lingrong looked at Xiao Zhongzi with a panicked look on her face.

"Your Majesty, the first people to be infected with the cold were the people in the cold palace, followed by the servants guarding the cold palace, followed closely by Sui Yuxuan, and then the servants serving in the harem..." Xiao Zhongzi stepped forward to answer, and An Lingrong couldn't help but frowned when she heard it.

"Sui Yuxuan? Why would we start with Sui Yuxuan?" An Lingrong murmured, seeming to be thinking about something.

"Empress, something bad has happened. Zhou'er has caught a cold." At this moment, Baoque suddenly rushed in, looking anxious.

"Don't be anxious, take your time." An Lingrong looked at Bao Que, and her heart was also trembling...

"Zhou'er just had a high fever." Baoque spoke with a nervous look on his face.

Despite all the precautions, it still couldn't be prevented!

"Baoque, quickly ask someone to clean up the west wing in the backyard and have everyone living with Zhou'er move in there and isolate them quickly." An Lingrong gave the order, and Baoque quickly responded and went out.

"Juqing, have someone fumigate the herbs that Imperial Doctor Meng brought again, and also fumigate the mugwort once more." An Lingrong calmed herself down, thinking about what else she should pay attention to...

"Also, the servants and maids who serve Sheng'er and Qianyue should be isolated as well. Be sure to take precautions." An Lingrong thought of the children and spoke again...

"Oh, go get the imperial physician and treat him immediately. Imperial Physician Meng said that the sooner this disease is treated, the faster it will heal." An Lingrong spoke again...

"Don't panic, Your Majesty. We have dealt with these things before." Seeing that An Lingrong was a little panicked, Ju Qing hurried forward to comfort her.

If it were in the past, she would definitely not panic, but now that she has two children, she doesn’t even dare to think about the consequences…

"Okay, give the orders. Make sure to pay attention to the people who serve Sheng'er and Qianyue. Never have contact with other people." An Lingrong gave another instruction, and Juqing nodded quickly.

"Xiao Zhongzi, have someone keep an eye on Changchun Palace. I'm feeling a little nervous." After everyone went out to do their work, An Lingrong called Xiao Zhongzi again.

"Yes, my lady, I will keep a close eye on you." Xiao Zhongzi nodded in response.

"Go to Yanxi Palace, Xianfu Palace and Concubine Xin again and tell them to be more cautious and protect the child."

An Lingrong continued to speak. In fact, she knew that if Concubine Duan really took action, it would only target herself and Xianfu Palace. However, the epidemic was much more difficult to prevent than people, so she naturally had to be on guard against both...

After settling all this, all that’s left is to wait.

Since there was an infected person in Chengqian Palace, An Lingrong no longer had to serve in Yangxin Palace. However, once people were idle, they were more likely to have wild thoughts, so she had to go to the study and clatter on the abacus to divert her attention.

Two days later, it was daybreak and An Lingrong had just gotten up when Xiao Zhongzi came in from outside and said he had something important to report.

"Let him in quickly." An Lingrong hurriedly got up. Juqing put her outer dress on her. An Lingrong sat on the Luohan bed and Juqing went to open the door.

"My lady, yesterday at midnight, a little maid came out of Changchun Palace. I followed her personally. She went all the way to the cold palace and to those places where people are infected with cold.

She wore a mask before she went in, so it was impossible to tell who she was, and when she came out, she was holding a small bag.

Later, she went to see a young palace maid from the Internal Affairs Department. She handed the bundle to the young palace maid and left in a hurry without saying anything.

Xiao Zhongzi finished speaking in one breath. After hearing the stone hanging in An Lingrong's heart for many days, she felt relieved. Concubine Duan finally lifted the stone...

"Ask your men to keep a close eye on her and report back at any time, especially the young maid in Changchun Palace. Find out where she ended up afterwards. Don't let her die..."

An Lingrong said, after all, Concubine Duan is a person who can do anything! Xiao Zhongzi nodded and retreated again.

More and more people were infected in the palace, and the emperor could no longer hide it, so he summoned the imperial physician to ask. Meng Zhaoxing hesitated for a long time and finally said, "I suspect it is an epidemic."

But just this one sentence caused a huge uproar...

As soon as the words were spoken, Meng Zhaoxing and Wen Shichu presented the diagnosis results and case records of the past few days one by one, and concluded at the end: This is obviously an "epidemic" that spreads quickly but is not fatal enough.

Seeing that the two had good reasons, the emperor said, "Since you have noticed it, why didn't you report it? If you had reported it earlier, there wouldn't be so many people infected!"

After the emperor finished speaking, he looked at the two people kneeling below with a sharp gaze and an iron face.

Meng Zhaoxing and Wen Shichu looked at each other and then fell silent.

"Your Majesty, when the epidemic first showed signs, Imperial Physician Meng mentioned it to Court Judge Zhang, saying that this should be an epidemic, but... but..." Deputy Court Judge Sun of the Imperial Medical Bureau bowed to the emperor and spoke.

The emperor looked at Judge Zhang, who lowered his head with a nervous look, sweat on his forehead, and his kneeling legs were trembling slightly...

"Doctor Zhang, you tell me..." The emperor looked at Doctor Zhang with a dark look in his eyes.

"Your humble servant... Your humble servant... I didn't expect it to be so serious..." Doctor Zhang lowered his head, not daring to look at the emperor, but the emperor stared at him fiercely...

The emperor saw this and knew it was this old man who wanted to suppress his colleagues...

"Lord Zhang is old. I think you should enjoy your retirement." The emperor said in a cold tone, and there was a hint of anger in his eyes when he looked at Doctor Zhang.
