Gonggong Li was waiting at the gate of the palace, and finally waited for Gu Qian and Prime Minister Liu Cheng, and the group went to the queen's palace in a hurry and in a hurry.After Prime Minister Liu left, Zheng Yan went back to the room.Zheng Yan sat alone at the desk, holding a pen in one hand, bowing his head slightly, writing something, and after a while, a yellow piece of rice paper was full of words.Looking down at the contents of the letter, Zheng Yan waited until the ink was slightly dry, and then Zheng Yan put it in the envelope again.Packing the letter in his hand, Zheng Yan walked to the window door, gently pushed the window open with both hands, and blew a few nice whistles.After a while, a white pigeon flapped its wings and stopped at the window.Zheng Yan tied the letter to the little pigeon's legs, gently caressing the little pigeon's feathers, and the little pigeon actively stirred its wings, looking particularly smart, as if responding to Zheng Yan.After stroking it gently, Zheng Yan slapped the little pigeon again, as if talking to the little pigeon.The little pigeon immediately signaled, barked twice, and then left with its wings stirred.After sending the little pigeon away, Zheng Yan fell down on the bed again to take a nap, and after tossing all night last night, he really didn't sleep well.In addition, Zheng Yan's sleep is extremely shallow, and he is not well rested, it just so happens that Prime Minister Liu Cheng is not there, Zheng Yan doesn't have to think about it, he can take this opportunity to sleep for a while.Sleeping with Prime Minister Liu Cheng on weekdays, Zheng Yan will naturally be a little more vigilant, and he will also feel a little uncomfortable, which is just right now.Gu Qian and others came to the queen's palace under the leadership of Gonggong Li, and several people went in together, and as soon as they entered the palace gate, they saw the emperor wearing a bright yellow dragon robe.Xu heard footsteps, and the emperor immediately looked up at Gu Qian and the others.Several people had already entered the main hall and saluted the emperor one after another: "I've seen the emperor!"
”"Don't be so polite at this time."
The emperor motioned for everyone to get up, and then immediately fell on Gu Qian's body: "Don't worry, the queen has been having a fever repeatedly for two days, and she has not improved, is she the same as those people outside the palace, you come and take a look for the queen." ”"How can the queen have symptoms like those people outside the palace, the queen has never been out of the palace."
Gu Qian frowned lightly, very puzzled.This time the illness occurred outside the palace, and the queen has been staying in the palace, how can this symptom occur?
While saying Gu Qian, he walked inside, and saw the queen lying on the phoenix collapse, and now the whole person is awake, but the state is not very good.The queen's face was pale, and her whole person looked thinner, and her spirit was not good."
Ahem......"
Gu Qian heard the queen's cough as soon as he approached.After approaching, Gu Qian shouted: "Queen Mother." ”"Princess Rui, ahem......"
The queen looked at Gu Qian and coughed twice in succession."
Queen Mother, I'll take your pulse."
Gu Qian sat directly in front of the queen's collapse, ready to check the queen's pulse.The queen was very cooperative and stretched out her hand to let Gu Qian check, the emperor and others stood aside, and the emperor, who was the king of a country, was now full of worries.It is said that it is from the ancient ruthless family, but the emperor of the Western Liang Kingdom is different.The situation of the emperor of Xiliang has always been not very good, the queen and the mother family support it, if it is not the queen's mother family, I am afraid that the emperor will be difficult to compete with the eighth prince.Of course, it's not just because of this, but also because the queen and the emperor are suffering together, which is a little more sincere than the average imperial couple, and not all of them weigh the pros and cons.After a while, Gu Qian put down the queen's hand.The queen looked at Gu Qian with a worried face: "Princess Rui, am I ......"
The queen knew about the plague, and she wanted to ask her if her symptoms were the same as those outside the plague, but when she opened her mouth, the queen was a little afraid to ask, afraid to hear that answer."
The Queen's current symptoms are indeed a bit like the plague."
Gu Qian's answer was direct, without the slightest tactfulness.The queen's heart was stunned, her eyes suddenly dimmed, and her already bad face was even more ugly."
How is this possible, the queen mother has never been out of the palace, how can she be infected with the plague?"
Liu Cheng immediately asked everyone's doubts.Gu Qian shook his head: "I don't know about this, judging from the queen's current symptoms, it is indeed a little similar, and I can't be sure." ”"Wechen remembered."
Prime Minister Liu Cheng said suddenly: "The little prince of the eighth prince also died because of this plague, and the little prince lived in the queen's palace for a period of time before, could it be that he was infected to the queen's mother at that time?"
”As soon as Prime Minister Liu Cheng said this, everyone remembered the matter of Xiao Shizi.Xiao Shizi has been in the palace for so many days, but it is not impossible to do so, and everyone can't help but think about it.At this moment, Xie Jinghuai had another voice: "It won't be the little prince who infected the queen." ”"Why is Lord Rui so sure, the little prince did stay in the mother's palace for a while."
Prime Minister Liu Cheng couldn't understand why Xie Jinghuai was so sure."
Prime Minister Liu Cheng still remembers when the little prince under the knee of the eighth prince died?
Where did you take it before you died?
”Xie Jinghuai's cold voice sounded, as if reminding Prime Minister Liu and the others.Prime Minister Liu Cheng narrowed his eyes and recalled seriously: "Xiao Shizi died on the night of leaving the palace, and I heard the eighth prince say that on the day before Xiao Shizi died, the eighth prince took Xiao Shizi out to buy sugar gourds. ”"That day, the eighth prince took Xiao Shizi to the plague area."
Gu Qian reminded.As soon as Xie Jinghuai said this, Gu Qian remembered everything: "Xiao Shizi was already fine, but because he had been to the plague area and had contact with those children, he also contracted the plague. ”"And Xiao Shizi's body was just right, but he was infected with the plague, which is the real reason for Xiao Shizi's death."
Gu Qian is rarely able to analyze rationally.Prime Minister Liu frowned: "So the queen's illness has nothing to do with Xiao Shizi?"
”Everyone looked at Gu Qian, after all, Gu Qian was the doctor, and only Gu Qian could answer this question."
It stands to reason that the queen will have such symptoms now, and it should have nothing to do with Xiao Shizi.""
Then how could the queen be infected with the plague?"
The emperor immediately asked.Knowing that the queen was infected with the plague, the emperor was anxious, especially since the queen was still pregnant with a child.The emperor remained calm, but his heart was impatient.Gu Qian looked at the queen and asked, "Has the queen been out of the palace these days?"
”If the queen mother is out of the palace, it may be a plague contracted when she leaves the palace."
This palace has never been out of the palace."
The queen shook her head.As the mother of a country, how can she leave the palace at will.()
