Eunuch Huang saw it clearly, his cries snapped, and then he shouted, “The Imperial Doctor! The Imperial Doctor!”
The Imperial Doctors had stayed up for several days in a row, and when it looked like they would not be able to stay up any longer, Consort Xiao Xianyi asked them to take turns to rest, and gave the Imperial Doctors on duty a room next to her bedchamber.
The one on duty now was the courtier, and when he heard Eunuch Huang’s excited voice, he ran in with his medicine chest!
“The Emperor’s finger has moved! , the Emperor’s finger has moved!”
The courtier walked quickly to the bed, his fingers squeezed the emperor’s pulse and took his pulse in a rather quiet manner.
Eunuch Huang also held his breath.
After a long time, the courtier released his hand, turned the Emperor’s eyelids again and twisted his head, “Eunuch Huang, you did see the Emperor’s hand move?!”
“It’s true, I saw it clearly!”
Lest Yuan Zheng didn’t believe me, Eunuch Huang even lifted his own hand to demonstrate, “This is how the Emperor moved.”
If His Majesty’s hand had really moved, it would have shown that he was conscious, and his pulse would have shown it, but His Majesty’s pulse was the same as it had been for the last few days.
Seeing that he did not believe him, Eunuch Huang became anxious, believing that he was not mistaken, and that His Majesty’s hand had really moved.
“Take your pulse properly again, the mendicant really isn’t wrong.”
The courtier had to take his pulse again, but it still didn’t come out.
Eunuch Huang did not give up and called for another doctor to take his pulse.
The result was the same.
When the news reached Kunli Palace, Xiao Xianfei, who had wanted to come over, suddenly changed her mind and handed her cloak to the aunt in charge, instructing, “My palace is worried about His Majesty’s condition, and has not slept peacefully for several days.
“Yes.”
At the same time, a fast horse entered the city and headed straight for the capital.
When he reached the front of the house, he flew down and ran in with a gust of wind, “My lord, my lord, something has happened!”
The capital’s governor had not yet left the court, and Sheriff Zhang stepped in front of him, “What’s happened?”
“A patient with smallpox has escaped!”
There was a buzz in Sheriff Zhang’s head.
“When did that happen?”
The visitor gulped, “No, I don’t know.”
The patients sent there were all honest, and the few that weren’t after Song Wangyue’s group went there yesterday were all at peace.
But who would have thought that when they lined up the food early this morning, they would find that the people in the small shed near the inside were missing.
“Do you know who it was?”
“Yes, it was the first person to be sent there?”
The buzz in Zhang Shu’s head grew louder.
Although Liu Ying and the two men in the Third Prince’s entourage had explained that they had been instructed by the Emperor, no one knew where the man with the smallpox had come from, and he had wanted to go out of the city early this morning to question the man, but now the man had run away.
“Go back quickly and step up your patrol, I’ll wait for the lord at the palace gate!”
……
Xu family.
Not only did the Minister of Works have all the things needed to make the wheelchair, he also sent two good hands from the Ministry of Works to deliver it personally.
“Miss Song ……”
The two men bowed towards Song Wangyue, not daring to be the least bit rash, “His Excellency has asked us to assist you.”
With just two wheels to allow people with inconvenient legs to walk, even they knew it was something that could generate profit, not only the lord but even they were heartened and excited to be sent over by name by the lord.
Song Wangyue didn’t push back either, “I’ll trouble you two.”
The two men even said that it was no trouble.
Song Wan Yue handed the detailed drawings to the two men, who held down their excitement and divided the work with Song Wan Yue and Song Yin, and then couldn’t wait to start.
Xu Yan couldn’t help but be curious and asked his subordinates to carry him over to see.
It was said that they were dividing up the work, but in fact Song Wangyue was the guide, Song Yin and the two Ministry of Works men did the work, and the servants carried Xu Yan over.
Song Wangyue turned around and went into the house and brought a chair out, placing it in the sunlight and instructing the underlings to place Xu Yan on it.
Although it was still cold in the first month of the year, the sun was shining just right today, warming the body, but not as warm as Xu Yan’s heart.
“When the smallpox has passed, uncle will have someone push it around the street, there should be quite a few people envious.”
He said this euphemistically, but Song Wangyue understood that her uncle was helping her with the publicity and wanted her to do this business.
She smiled and joked, “The Crown Prince is dealing with court affairs from today, and will send someone to fetch uncle into the palace tomorrow at the latest, uncle should not have this leisure time.”
Hearing that she did not want to do this business, Xu Yan felt a little sorry for her, although wheelchairs were easy to make, and experienced people could buy them and study them, but they could make a lot of money upfront.
The emperor had fined her 300,000 taels, and she wondered how much Yue’er had left in her hand, would it be enough to reopen the workshop when it was smooth?
He has some in his hand, and so does his mother, but Yue’er won’t want it.
Song Wan Yue seemed to know what he was thinking and smiled as she squatted down in front of him, “Uncle, I don’t have one or two ways to earn money, it all depends on whether I’m willing to do it or not, silver has never been a problem for me.”
These words were a bit too big, but coming from Song Wangyue’s mouth, not only Xu Yan, but also the two people who came to help did not feel that Song Wangyue was speaking big words.
Xu Yan laughed heartily.
What he said yesterday was half-true and half-not true. He had indeed seen many injustices during his search for his sister, which made him admire his grandfather’s wisdom even more, and the Xu family was right not to join the court, the officialdom was too dark for them.
But for Yue’er’s sake, he was willing to become the Crown Prince’s tutor, willing to be her backer, to give her strong protection so that Song Yin would not fail her in the future, and so that when she married Song Yin in the future, she would not be criticised by the world for her status.
……
Zhang Shoutu went to wait at the palace gate.
It was the first day that the Crown Prince dealt with the court affairs, and although he was not too busy, he had delayed a lot of time.
It was nearly noon by the time the governor came out of the palace.
Sheriff Zhang greeted him sharply, “Your Excellency.”
The Governor was talking to his colleague, and when he saw Zhang’s frenzied appearance, he knew something was wrong.
Sheriff Zhang whispered, and the capital magistrate’s face immediately changed.
The city gates were closed, no one was allowed in or out, those who ran away could only go to the nearby villages, and if they infected the village ……
The capital magistrate dared not think further.
“Immediately send people to search, digging the ground to find the person!”
……
The movement here soon reached the ears of Song Yin, who did not stop moving his hands, they had already made thorough arrangements for this matter, and the searchers would find a “corpse” in a few days.
The subordinate ran into the courtyard with very fast steps, “Young master, someone from the palace is here.”
Xu Yan subconsciously glanced up, it was almost noon, someone from the palace was coming at this time, was the prince in some kind of trouble?
