Chapter 823: Anomaly

After the blood splashing incident, everyone, including Xuanyuan Qi outside the city, was secretly paying attention to the situation in the small courtyard.

...

Although it was splashed on the wrong person, the commoners quickly reacted.

Everyone knew that Song Jingchen and Shen Yijia had a good relationship. Song Jingchen had contracted the plague, so Shen Yijia definitely wouldn’t sit back and do nothing.

This way, she would definitely use her blood to save them.

Therefore, everyone was waiting for Song Jingchen to recover and for his illness to be cured.

However, they were destined to be disappointed.

Shen Yijia’s blood didn’t cure Song Jingchen!

As soon as this news spread, everyone fell into deep despair.

“I don’t want to die. Save me, please save me!” A festering patient grabbed the medicine boy’s hand tightly, his voice filled with despair.

The medicine boy was shocked and quickly shook him off. He ran out in a panic.

“Let me out. I’ll die if I stay here. Let me out.”

“I don’t want to die…

Everywhere it passed, painful and hoarse growls could be heard.

The medicine boy’s face turned pale and he quickened his pace. He ran so quickly that he almost bumped into the person walking around the corner.

“Why are you so flustered?” The imperial physician scolded with a straight face. “Master, they seem to have gone crazy,” the medicine boy said nervously.

The imperial physician frowned. “What nonsense are you spouting in front of

His Highness? Hurry up and retreat.”

Only then did the medicine boy wake up to the fact that there was someone standing beside his master. When he heard the words “Your Highness”, he quickly bowed and left.

“Your Highness, these people…”

Xuanyuan Ziming interrupted him. “I understand.”

This was the human heart. Before the news that Shen Yijia was the Saintess spread, everyone might still be able to calmly face their subsequent fates. However, the Saintess’s words made the seeds of their desire to live germinate in their hearts. Now that their hopes had been destroyed, they could not accept it.

The imperial physician sighed and did not say anything else.

At this moment, two tightly wrapped soldiers walked out of a house. The two of them were carrying a corpse wrapped in straw mats.

It looked like a young child.

“Return my son to me. He’s clearly not dead yet. Where are you sending him? Return him to me!” A woman struggled to run out. Her face was covered in abscesses, and she was clearly infected with the plague.

The guards in front of the house stopped her from leaving the house. The woman watched helplessly as her son was sent out. She sat on the ground and roared in despair.

“Why didn’t you save him? He’s still so young. He’s only five years old. He shouldn’t have died. Why didn’t you save him?”

“Quack doctors, you quacks. You said that you would treat us, but you haven’t been able to treat anyone!”

The woman seemed to have gone crazy. She started scolding the soldiers who took her son away, then the doctors. In the end, she even scolded the emperor and called him a liar.

When she fainted from the scolding, the soldiers went forward numbly and carried her back.

The imperial physician wiped his sweat and secretly glanced at Xuanyuan Ziming’s expression. Seeing that he did not show any signs of anger, he heaved a sigh of relief.

However, he did not know that Xuanyuan Ziming’s heart was far from being as calm as it seemed on the surface. It was not anger, but deep helplessness.

He laughed at himself and suddenly understood why Brother Song didn’t let Jiajia try no matter what.

Seeing this scene, he would feel terrible because he could not save everyone. If Jiajia knew that she could save them, she would probably feel even more tormented.

Besides, he couldn’t guarantee that he wouldn’t insist on not asking her to save the people.

If he was already like this, what about his father?

Forget it. This was good too. He wondered if her blood was useful. He would just treat it as useless.

Xuanyuan Ye, who was in the Ganquan Palace, fell into despair like these people in the quarantine area.

She tried her best to knock over the medicine bowl in front of her and glared at Chun Xi, who was kneeling at the side.

“Really?”

Chun Xi lowered his head even more. “It’s true. Lord Song was infected with the plague, and Madam Song couldn’t treat him.”

Xuanyuan Ye was stunned for a moment before she suddenly laughed foolishly. She laughed until she was out of breath and tears fell from her eyes.

“Retribution. This is retribution. Retribution…

So what if she didn’t kill Shen Yijia? The person Shen Yijia cared about the most was about to die.

Oh, not only that, but she was going to die too…

If this wasn’t retribution, what was?

She alternated between crying and laughing, muttering something that no one else could understand. She looked really strange.

The palace maids in the hall were so frightened that they shrunk their necks and did not dare to breathe loudly.

Ruo Mei lowered her eyes and said, “Princess, I’ll help you bring another bowl of medicine. Today, I changed a new prescription. Perhaps it can cure this plague. Didn’t the previous prescription have an effect?”

Seeing this, Ruo Mei waved her hand and gestured for the little palace maid to come over and clean up the broken pieces of the medicine bowl on the ground. She quietly retreated.

Currently, there were only two masters in the palace, Empress Dowager Zhou and Xuanyuan Ye, and they lived in two adjacent palaces. The Ganquan Palace did not brew any medicine, and the medicine was in the small kitchen of the Longevity Palace.

“Sister Ruo Mei, did the princess vomit the medicine again?” The green-robed palace maid, who was brewing the medicine, asked with concern when she saw her.

Ruo Mei nodded. “The princess has never suffered since she was young and can’t stand the smell of this medicine. Do you have any medicine that has been brewed?”

If she served Xuanyuan Ye now, she might have to follow her in the future. Ruo Mei naturally did not dare to say that Xuanyuan Ye would knock over the medicine every time she got angry.

Otherwise, if she revealed that Xuanyuan Ye had a bad reputation, how good would she be as a servant?

“Yes, but it’s prepared for the Empress Dowager, ” the green-robed palace maid said awkwardly.

Actually, just in case, she would boil two more bowls every time. However, Xuanyuan Ye was too delicate. The medicine she brewed was not enough for her to vomit.

As soon as he finished speaking, Eunuch Yu entered.

Ruo Mei bowed to him. “Eunuch Yu.”

Eunuch Yu nodded and looked at the green-robed palace maid. “Have you finished brewing the medicine for the Empress Dowager?”

“Alright, alright. I was thinking of sending it to you if you didn’t come over soon!” As the green-robed palace maid spoke, she quickly brought over a clay bowl and poured out the medicinal juice in the clay pot.

Ruo Mei thought for a moment and asked, “Eunuch Yu, has the Empress Dowager been feeling better recently?”

Eunuch Yu glanced at her.

Ruo Mei quickly explained, “The princess feels that it’s because of her that the Empress Dowager fell sick. She’s always felt guilty. If the Empress Dowager can recover early, the princess will feel better.”

Eunuch Yu did not answer her. He said meaningfully, “I remember that the princess and the Empress Dowager contracted the plague on the same day. How do you think this letter can bring the source of the illness out of the palace in advance and infect the Empress Dowager?”

Ruo Mei was stunned. She had never thought of this problem before. Only when Eunuch Yu reminded her did she feel that something was wrong. She suddenly remembered the abnormality when Xuanyuan Ye asked her to send the letter. At that time, she only thought that Xuanyuan Ye was conflicted about whether to report Madam Song.

However, after serving Xuanyuan Ye for the past few days, she clearly realized that Xuanyuan Ye hated Madam Song to the core. She even stopped hiding it from her. How could she hesitate?

Then what she was conflicted about was…

She then thought of the pile of ashes on the ground when she went to tidy up the study.

Thinking of a possibility, Ruo Mei’s face turned pale.

If that was the case, she was the one who personally sent that letter.

Eunuch Yu saw her expression and his eyes darkened. He said coldly, “You’re not stupid to be able to become a first-grade palace maid. I’ll also remind you that the most important thing to do in the palace is to recognize who the master is. As for the rest, just do your job. Don’t care about what you shouldn’t care about. Don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask.”

Ruo Mei was stunned and hurriedly said, “Thank you for your pointers, Eunuch Liu. I understand.”

Eunuch Yu did not say anything else. He took the food box from the green-robed palace maid and turned to leave..
