Following the palace maid, I saw her sneaking to a corner of the harem, and then threw a bag of things into the dense forest.Li Ruo frowned, but didn't follow her, just stood in the shadows and watched her gradually walk away.

"What's the matter?" Yin Rong followed behind and asked in confusion.

"She's the girl next to Hong Xing, why would she come here secretly?" Li Ruo Xin asked doubtfully, after the man walked away, she came out of the dark place and walked towards the place where she threw her things just now.

It was a small package, soft, it seemed to be a few pieces of clothes.

When Li Ruo bent down to pick it up, Yin Rong stretched out her hand to stop her.

"Dirty." After Yin Rong said the word decisively, he picked up a slender branch from the side, and gently picked the package.

The package, which was not too tightly wrapped, gradually spread out under the branch Yin Rong was holding.

"It's just a piece of clothing." Yin Rong said.

Clothes are not surprising.

Just, why go to such lengths to throw away such a piece of clothing?

Li Ruo bent down to look, and saw that the material of the dress was expensive, and it seemed that it was not used by ordinary people, so the dress could only be Hongxing's.

Just when Li Ruo thought of this, Yin Rong pointed to a sleeve of the clothes with a branch and said, "Is this blood?"

Li Ruo was taken aback for a moment at first, but then he reacted and looked carefully, and actually saw a few mottled blood stains that had been rubbed into dark red on the water-blue cuffs.

How could there be bloodstains?

Li Ruo frowned and looked at Yin Rong, and Yin Rong also looked at her with some puzzlement.

"Go, catch up." Li Ruo didn't have time to think about it, so she chased after Yin Rong. The palace servant was probably timid, walking fast, Li Ruo couldn't catch up, and when she found her, she had already arrived at Hongxing's bedroom forward.

Standing at the door, Li Ruo looked up at the plaque, it was so dazzling under the setting sun that people couldn't keep their eyes open.

I don't know why, but my heart suddenly felt empty, as if I expected something bad to happen.

"Aren't you going in?" Yin Rong asked softly when he saw the hesitation on Li Ruo's face.

Want to go in?Will it...

"Let's go." Li Ruo gave herself a short time to hesitate, she didn't want to think too much, she was afraid that after thinking too much, she really couldn't take this step.

After entering the palace, Li Ruo could only see the empty inside, which looked extraordinarily desolate, just like the courtyard where Hongxing lived in the villa, there was a sense of desolation everywhere.

"Why isn't there even a palace attendant?" Yin Rong looked around, but he didn't even see a single figure.

Li Ruo felt a little uneasy, but he still strode in, passed a side room and finally saw a few palace people gathered there, Li Ruo said with a sullen face, "Where's Chen Jieyu?"

The palace servants were taken aback for a moment, but after seeing Li Ruo clearly, they immediately knelt down tremblingly, "Princess Zhang is auspicious."

"Where's Chen Jieyu?" Li Ruo was in no mood, just repeated.

"I'm... asleep in the house."

Li Ruo crossed them and was about to go to the main house, but stopped after taking a step, turned his head and said, "Where is that person who is wearing a green shirt and following Chen Jieyu?"

Those palace people whispered to each other for a while, and finally one of them stepped forward boldly and said, "Is Princess Zhang talking about Sister Ping'er? She just went out for something, I don't know—"

"Where is her house?" Before she could finish speaking, Li Ruo asked impatiently.

The man shrank his neck, thinking that he said something that made Li Ruo unhappy, so he timidly stretched out his finger and pointed to the side, "The room at the corner."

Li Ruo walked quickly towards the house, Yin Rong followed behind, and noticed that the vicinity was filled with a smell of medicine, although it was very faint, it could still be smelled faintly.

Arriving in front of the room, Li Ruo almost kicked open the door, "bang" the door hit the wall twice and bounced back a little, Li Ruo blocked it impatiently, and strode away go in.

The people in the room were folding their clothes. It was unknown whether it was because of being too nervous or too tired, but their bare hands trembled slightly.After hearing the sound of the door being knocked open, she jumped up like an attacking bird, and when she saw Li Ruo's appearance clearly, that small face suddenly turned pale.

"Long—" Before the man had time to salute, Li Ruo had already stepped up and grabbed her wrist.

"Why did you sneakily throw away that dress? Whose is that dress? Is it Chen Jieyu's? What's wrong with her?" Li Ruo was afraid that he had misunderstood something, and rushing to Hong Xing's place so recklessly would only Let her worry, it's better to ask this girl first, and then make a decision.It's just that Li Ruo didn't expect that when he opened his mouth, he would shout angrily.

"Long... long..." The girl's face was pale, and she took a step back tremblingly, but Li Ruo had already grabbed her wrist, not allowing her to move.

"Hurry up and say it!" No matter what else, Li Ruo squeezed the girl so hard that she was about to cry.

Yin Rong looked at it, turned her head away helplessly, but saw that the girl kept tugging on her sleeve when she was dodging, felt strange in her heart, so she stepped forward and clasped her other hand, Opened her sleeves.

I saw that there were some red blood spots on the well-proportioned arms, and the mottled spots made people really sick to look at.

Li Ruo was taken aback for a moment, but then he came to his senses and let go of his hand immediately.

"you……"

"Eldest princess, servant... slave..." She pulled back her sleeves, trying to hide the red spots on her body, but Yin Rong and Li Ruo clearly saw them.

"Come here... come here!" Li Ruo and Yin Rong retreated outside the door, and when they saw the little eunuchs approaching, Li Ruo turned her head solemnly and ordered, "Lock her in the room, No one is allowed in or out!"

After all, after looking at each other with Yin Rong, he dared to go to Tai Hospital together.

The erythema on that girl's body was very familiar to Li Ruo. She had seen Ma Fengzhen's people before. They had such erythema all over their bodies and hands. Their skin was festered and pus-felt, and even disgusting. She couldn't bear to recall it.

As soon as they arrived at the imperial hospital, Li Ruo immediately ordered the imperial physician to fetch the medicine, and she and Yin Rong smeared it all over their bodies one after another.

"Everyone in this palace has been clearly investigated, how could someone still be infected!" Li Ruo looked at the imperial physicians angrily, and Eunuch Li beside him also had an anxious expression on his face.

Everyone in the imperial hospital knelt on the ground and did not dare to speak. Li Ruo paced back and forth, "Send that palace man outside the palace immediately, and the people in the palace will check it out immediately to make sure there is no mistake!" After finishing speaking, she turned her head to look To Eunuch Li, "The house where the girl lives needs to be cleaned quickly, and the people who live with her must be thoroughly investigated! There must be no omissions."

After Li Ruo explained everything, he suddenly thought of Hong Xing, and after all the imperial physicians left, he hurried back to the palace where Hong Xing lived, holding up his skirt.After such a commotion, the originally cold courtyard was suddenly full of people, including eunuchs and maids, escort guards, and several imperial physicians.

However, there was so much commotion outside, but the door of the main house was still tightly closed, very quiet.

"Princess, Chen Jieyu doesn't want to come out by herself in the room." The imperial physician bowed to Li Ruo with some embarrassment.

Li Ruo glanced lightly, "Since Chen Jieyu doesn't want to come out, then don't disturb her rest." After dismissing the imperial physician, Li Ruo knocked lightly on the door, but there was no movement inside, she looked a little strangely. After glancing at Yin Rong, she whispered, "Hong Xing."

This sound finally got Hong Xing's answer.

"Princess?"

"What are you doing in the house? Let me go in and see you."

"No..." Hong Xing coughed, "No, I'm resting, there are too many people outside, and my typhoid fever has not recovered, so I still won't go out."

This kind of behavior is completely different from the Hong Xing that Li Ruo knows in normal times.

"you--"

This time, before Li Ruo had finished speaking, Hong Xing said anxiously, "Hong Xing has fallen asleep, so I won't send the eldest princess off."

Li Ruo looked at Yin Rong, Yin Rong's face was also full of suspicion.

On the way back, Eunuch Li was afraid of Li Ruo's hard work, so he sent a young eunuch to drive the two of them back to the mansion.

On the way, Li Ruo sat in the carriage, intentionally or unconsciously said, "Do you know the girl named Ping'er next to Chen Jieyu?"

The little eunuch driving the car looked agile, he blinked and said, "Oh, Ping'er from Chen Jieyu's palace, she was very favored when she first came to Chen Jieyu's side."

"You just entered the palace?" Although Li Ruo was angry at the imperial hospital, she asked them to suppress Ping'er's name. Although everyone in the palace has heard about someone having leprosy, they don't know Who is it.In this way, the little eunuch dared to speak so recklessly.

"That's right, didn't the Emperor have someone recruit some new palace servants a few days ago? This Ping'er was chosen to be sent to Chen Jieyu when she entered the palace."

New to the palace?Li Ruo paused in her heart, and turned her head to look at Yin Rong.

Yin Rong lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then nodded.

No wonder she looked familiar at this girl, it turned out that she was chosen by herself to be sent to the harem as a palace servant.

Thinking of this, a bad premonition suddenly crossed their hearts.

"Go back to the palace immediately!" Li Ruohu snatched the rein from the little eunuch's hand.

"Drive!" The wind whizzed by, Li Ruo's expression was extraordinarily solemn, the little eunuch shrank in disbelief, and Yin Rong in the car also had a solemn expression.

Why didn't the two of them think of it?This Ping'er entered the palace later, Yu Li said, all palace people who would be infected with leprosy in the palace have already been sent out of the palace, who will she be infected with leprosy?

Concubine in the palace!

Hong Xing's abnormal behavior for so many days finally had an explanation, but Li Ruo was looking forward to it all the way, but he was thinking too much, but...

"Your Majesty, Chen Jieyu is infected with leprosy, so we must send her to the Leprosy Town outside the city!"

In the imperial study room, Yun Ni knelt on the ground and clanged her words.
