The mother of the Hou family eavesdropped on my inner thoughts and went crazy, I won by sucking milk

Chapter 303 Plague Outbreak

Cheng'an Palace.

Baili Chen lay weakly on the bed.

His face was terribly pale, and his lips looked as if they were covered with a thick layer of blood.

But Zhou Zigu, who was kneeling in front of the bed, did not dare to say a word.

Zhou Zigu was wearing a mask, and the expression on the half of his face that was exposed did not look unusual.

I don’t know if it was because of good luck or good physique, but I was not infected with the plague.

Baili Chen held onto the bed and slowly sat up.

He looked at Zhou Zigu with a scrutinizing look in his eyes: "Have you found the miracle doctor Wu Xiangzi?"

Listening to Baili Chen's question, Zhou Zigu, who was kneeling on the ground, hunched his body even more.

Baili Chen's heart sank.

He threw the cup placed beside him at Zhou Zigu.

With a gloomy look in his eyes, he said, "Didn't you say it was foolproof? Now it's too late to frame the people in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. I'm afraid you want to kill me first!"

Zhou Zigu kowtowed heavily.

He defended himself, "Your Highness, Zi Gu has absolutely no such intention! The truth is, the miracle doctor just disappeared suddenly. I have been looking for him for a long time but couldn't find him. Even those refugees... have disappeared..."

Zhou Zigu originally thought that it would not be difficult to find those refugees, but he did not expect that the other party did not leave any trace at all.

When Baili Chen heard this, he suddenly laughed out of anger.

He couldn't catch his breath and was coughing heavily.

He questioned, "So, you want to tell me that I am just going to wait for death?"

Zhou Zigu didn't dare to look up at Baili Chen's expression at this moment.

He just kowtowed and continued, "Your Highness, I will definitely try my best to find a miracle doctor."

Baili Chen coughed heavily.

After a long while, he finally caught his breath and said, "I haven't attended court for a few days. If this continues, I'm afraid my father will have some complaints."

Zhou Zigu didn't dare to answer.

At this moment, a voice came from outside the house: "Your Highness, the emperor is worried about your health and has specially sent a royal doctor to take your pulse."

Baili Chen's body froze, and he glared at Zhou Zigu fiercely: "Look at what you have done!"

Zhou Zigu raised his head, with a hint of disapproval in his eyes, and said, "Your Highness, now is not the right time to talk about the plague! If you reveal it before the people from the Zhenguo Mansion come back, you won't be able to frame the other party anymore."

Baili Chen hesitated for a while, and finally made a decision.

He sneered, "It's unknown when you will find the miracle doctor! Nowadays, the most powerful doctor in the capital is only the imperial physician. Maybe the imperial physician still has a way!"

After saying that, Baili Chen looked towards the outside of the house and said, "Let him in."

As the door was pushed open and the imperial physician walked forward, Zhou Zigu's heart sank moment by moment.

He paid such a huge price to bring those refugees infected with the plague here.

It seemed that they were about to frame the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

Now, it's all gone...

We had already found the whereabouts of the miracle doctor, so why did he suddenly disappear?

Could it be that even God is not on his side?

Without Baili Chen's words, Zhou Zigu would have remained kneeling on the ground, not daring to stand up.

At this time, the doctor had already walked in front of Baili Chen.

After paying his respects, he began to take Baili Chen's pulse.

The imperial physician's face grew darker and darker.

Suddenly he took a few steps back in fear.

He knelt down towards Baili Chen.

He said in disbelief: "Your Highness, you...you have the plague..."

Although Baili Chen already knew that he had the plague, he still pretended to be surprised: "How could I have the plague?"

The doctor said in a serious tone, "Your Highness, please give orders that it is best for the people in the palace not to leave, so as to prevent the plague from spreading. Your Highness, rest assured, I will do my best to prepare an antidote! If the plague gets serious, I will send someone to inform the palace first."

After hearing the imperial physician's words, Baili Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After the imperial physician leaves.

Baili Chencai then turned his gaze towards Zhou Zigu: "I have spent quite a bit of time with you these past few days, and you are not infected? But I am infected? Ha!"

After a pause, Baili Chen closed his eyes and said, "Now that the plague has broken out, I'm afraid you can't get out. Find a corner and hide there. Go and receive your punishment... thirty lashes. This time, you have disappointed me too much."

Zhou Zigu opened his mouth and wanted to say something.

But in the end he said nothing.

He kowtowed to Baili Chen and said, "Zi Gu... I accept the punishment. Thank you for your forgiveness, Your Highness."

The news of the plague in Prince Cheng'an's Palace was discovered and spread.

Within a day, like bamboo shoots popping up after rain, many people found themselves having symptoms of the plague.

For a while, people were in panic.

"Open the door! Let this princess in!"

Baili Yanqing looked at the guards at the gate of Prince Cheng'an's mansion, frowned, and spoke unhappily.

As early as when His Royal Highness Prince Cheng'an was infected with the plague, the entire Prince Cheng'an's Palace was guarded by heavy troops sent by His Majesty.

The leading guard bowed to Baili Yanqing and said respectfully, "Please don't embarrass us, Your Highness. I am only following Your Majesty's orders."

Baili Yanqing looked a little anxious: "The person imprisoned inside is my brother! I want to see him!"

Not only Baili Chen, but Zhou Zigu is also imprisoned inside.

The two most important men in her life are in there, how can she not be anxious?

However, the guards still refused to let him go.

Baili Yanqing was so angry that she could only curse loudly at the door.

At the restaurant opposite the Prince Cheng'an's Palace, Jiang Wanqing saw the entire scene.

Shui Yun at the side couldn't help but say: "I didn't expect that the princess would be so concerned about her brother."

Jiang Wanqing sneered: "How can you say he cares about her brother?"

It's obvious that he is... worried about Zhou Zigu.

After all, her spies had reported that Zhou Zigu always stayed in the princess's mansion when he had nothing to do.

I think the relationship between the two is not ordinary.

In her previous life, Baili Yanqing was willing to remain single for the rest of her life for Zhou Zigu.

How could I bear to let the other person suffer any harm in this life?

"Tsk, Miss Jiang is so elegant. She is still in the mood to drink tea here."

The sudden voice made Jiang Wanqing frown.

She looked towards the door of the private room.

Standing there was Eunuch Fang Su.

But he saw the other person smiling at him.

By the time Jiang Wanqing reacted, Eunuch Fang Su had already sat down opposite her.

Shui Yun stood beside Jiang Wanqing with a wary look in her eyes, her hand already on the soft sword at her waist.

Jiang Wanqing gave Shui Yun a look, and Shui Yun retreated and put away her hostility.

Jiang Wanqing looked at the cup of tea that Eunuch Fang Su was drinking and frowned: "That's my tea."
