Marry a traitor

Chapter 66 Plague
  If she had to get married, Li Jiahui felt it was better to escape from the palace.

It is said that the harem is a woman's grave, and she has realized that even getting married cannot be according to her own wishes.

Once a woman reaches her age, no matter whether she is a palace lord or a commoner, she is not worth anything in the eyes of others. Li Jiahui has already felt her father's eagerness.

I’m afraid no one will want me when I get old. , or marry an unsatisfied man.

Lu Ming served him wholeheartedly, and Li Jiahui was very satisfied with this man. He just waited for her to fall in love with a man successfully and then ask her father to agree to the marriage.

It is nothing new for the princess to have a man in her house. Li Jiahui's high-profile choice of husband has already spread throughout the streets.

Naturally, it also reached the ears of Shen Yu and Wang Wan.

"The palace master's temper has become increasingly impatient. This time he simply ignored the emperor and chose his own husband."

There was an unconcealable smile on Shen Yu's lips, and he couldn't read a single word on the bamboo slip in his hand.

Wang Wan has been unhappy since she came back from the palace that day. She doesn't think it's jealousy, she just thinks she's feeling unwell.

However, it became much easier to hear that the princess was unwilling to marry.

"The princess is really kind. Looking at her, women with such courage are rare."

Wang Wan really didn't expect that the princess would personally tell the world that she wanted to choose a husband. After three days of vigorous selection, she actually left one.

"Do you know who is left behind?" Wang Wan asked.

Shen Yu shook his head: "I really don't know about this."

Anyway, all he knew was that he was a man, and Shen Yu didn't care who it was.

Wang Wan was sitting idle on one side, embroidering a peace charm bag for his sister.

The two of them were uncomfortable with having so much free time recently, and they were chatting in passing.

Lu Yao suddenly came in, his face flustered and anxious.

"Master, Miss Huang is sick."

Shen Yu: "What disease?"

"I don't know, there are a lot of red acne marks on my face, and the servants are wondering if I have smallpox."

Shen Yu was startled: "Have you called the doctor?"

Lu Yao shook his head: "He is still lying on the couch at the moment, and his whole body seems to be falling apart."

Shen Yu walked out anxiously: "Go and call the doctor quickly."

This was the first time Wang Wan saw him so eager, so he followed him.

Huang Yingying's apartment was nothing special. She lived with other dancers. There was nothing valuable in the room. She just had some extra clothes, which Shen Yu allowed her to buy.

Regarding Huang Yingying's appearance, Shen Yu has always been generous in buying her beautiful clothes.

Wang Wan guessed that Shen Yu probably did it for his own eyes.

Walking to the house in the backyard, a dozen servants stood in a group, shivering, not daring to approach the house where Huang Yingying stayed.

"Step aside."

Shen wanted to go in, but a group of women grabbed his sleeves.

"My lord, please don't let me get infected."

Being dragged unable to move, Shen Yu steadied himself and took a look inside. The room was not big, and he could see what was going on inside at a glance.

Shen Yu saw Huang Yingying lying on the bed, motionless.

"How are you doing?"

Huang Yingying heard Shen Yu's voice and said feebly.

"Sir, don't come in."

Shen Yu finally ignored the dissuasion of others, stepped in, lifted Huang Yingying's blanket and took a look.

"grown ups."

Huang Yingying covered her face in horror, fearing that Shen Yu would see her ugliest self.

Shen Yu had already seen the dense red acne marks on Huang Yingying's face and neck.

He frowned: "How?"

Huang Yingying covered her face and hid under the quilt and said: "I don't know, I didn't run around yesterday. I got up all this at night. I beg the Prime Minister not to abandon me." She is not a noble lady and master. A servant has been born like this. If the illness is severe, the host will usually drive the person away, and Huang Yingying felt that Shen Yu would drive her away as well.

"Master, the doctor is here."

Lu Yao only dared to shout from a distance, not daring to get closer.

When Shen Yu heard this, he turned to Huang Yingying and said, "Let's see what the doctor says, and relax, I won't drive you away."

Shen Yu left the room, followed closely by the doctor who covered his mouth and nose with a white gauze.

After feeling the pulse and looking at the skin, the doctor came out quickly and spoke to Shen Yu.

"Sir, it's smallpox!"

Ouch~~~~

When everyone heard that the doctor confirmed that it was smallpox, they all retreated in fear.

Shen Yu said in a deep voice: "Treat her with all your strength. If she dies, don't live anymore!"

"Yes."

The doctor immediately went back to make medicine without stopping.

Smallpox is contagious. With so many people in contact with Huang Yingying, Shen Yu naturally has to make arrangements, otherwise the whole house may be infected with smallpox.

"This house is definitely uninhabitable. Go clear out all the empty houses in the backyard and spread them out. If anyone feels uncomfortable, call the doctor immediately."

"Yes."

After Shen Yu finished speaking, a group of women were busy organizing new rooms and preparing to live separately.

Wang Wan asked Lv Yao to take some people to the city to buy lotus scented water, realgar wine, salt, mugwort, etc.

"Go to various shops and buy everything that can detoxify from the Xiangfu. Buy as much as you have."

Green Medicine originally wanted to run out and buy it immediately, but stopped.

"How much can I buy?"

Wang Wan nodded: "Yes, buy as much as you can throughout the city."

After confirmation, although Lu Yao didn't understand why Madam bought so much, there was obviously only so many people in the Prime Minister's Mansion, so there was no need to buy all the detoxifying medicine in the city.

"Stop standing here, you guys, go boil some hot water and scald all the dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen. From now on, you must scald them with hot water every day after eating."

"Also, everyone is ordered not to leave the house without permission."

"Yes, ma'am."

The servants rolled up their sleeves and went to work. The entire Prime Minister's Mansion had never been so busy as it is now.

Shen Yu had just gone to Huang Yingying's house. At this time, he was not too close to Wang Wan and spoke to Wang Wan from a few people away.

"I'm going to sleep in another room for the next few days, and then I'll go back to the house when I'm sure everything is fine."

Wang Wan nodded: "Okay."

His concern for Huang Yingying was extraordinary, but there was an indescribable feeling.

It seems like he cares a lot, but he doesn't seem to like it very much.

Unpredictable.

Wang Wan didn't even bother to think about Huang Yingying's status in Shen Yu's heart. She had a more important thing to worry about now.

She suspected that there would soon be a plague.

Luyao prepared ten carriages and went to the city to buy medicine. Wang Wan met her and specifically asked her to prepare a carriage for her father and sister and send them directly there.

Sure enough, after Luyao bought the detoxification products in the city, smallpox broke out in the city.

"This is a plague, this is not ordinary smallpox."

Xie Yan was arguing with his mother, Xie Shi, who had only experienced this plague in her whole life.

She had smallpox and her face was pockmarked.

Liu Xiangru couldn't take care of Mrs. Xie with her child, so Xie Yan ordered his servants to take care of his mother day and night.
