C111 Chapter 111
"Don't worry, she's not an infectious disease. I won't let so many of us die with her." Jiegeng looked at Qi Han, who was covering his mouth, unhappily. "But the Imperial Physician can't cure her disease."
Qi Han lowered his hand and said weakly to Shihan, "It seems that you are a kind person. I misunderstood you in the past. Please forgive me!"
Shihan looked at Qi Han's timid look and immediately laughed.
Even though Ho Lingloong was punished now, Shihan still looked at Jiegeng with slight uneasiness. "You are so bold to let her do this in front of everyone. The He Family will definitely not let this matter rest easily. You must make sure that the others will not find out about you, right? How exactly did you make her fall into your trap?"
Jiegeng pulled Shihan to the side and whispered to her. "It's nothing. Today I sprinkled some medicinal powder on her body to promote the effects of the medicine. Even if the remnants of the medicine smell on her body catch up to me, it doesn't matter. Because, this medicinal powder alone has the effect of making one's mind clear. "
" So, you have been thinking about Ho Lingloong for a long time? " Shihan was surprised.
"I, Jiegeng, have always wanted revenge. Initially, I did not plan to be so ruthless. However, who asked her to provoke and frame me again and again? I am not a pushover. I am still someone to be bullied."
"You did the right thing. Such a person deserves a lesson. As long as you don't get caught, then I'm relieved. After all, this happened in front of the Emperor. If others find out about it... If we want to protect him, I'm afraid it will be difficult. "
"Sister, don't worry. I know that when doing things, one must know what to do."
Shihan nodded in relief, "But in the future, you have to tell me such fun things first. Leaving me behind, this is too insincere." Shihan turned her head and started to complain about Jiegeng.
"Okay okay okay okay, I know. If there is a next time, I will definitely not forget you!"
"Xun Er, how is Ho Lingloong's situation?" The Empress Dowager and the rest had already returned to the chambers.
"The Imperial Physician is waiting outside."
"Alright, call him in immediately!" The Emperor decreed.
"Imperial Physician, what illness did Ling Long suffer from?" The moment the Imperial Physician entered the hall, the Empress impatiently asked.
"Reporting to your Ladyship, this Princess Linglong did indeed suffer from a strange illness. This official and the rest were not proficient in academics and were able to obtain the final verdict."
"There is not a single person in the entire Imperial Physician Hall who can treat her?" The Emperor immediately questioned.
"This lowly subject is ashamed." The Imperial Physician immediately knelt down.
"Then, is this a contagious disease?" The Empress was most concerned about this problem, if she wasn't careful, the entire palace might suffer.
"From the symptoms, Princess Linglong only felt that her skin was painful and itchy. There were no symptoms like fever, diarrhea, and other complications caused by infectious diseases."
After hearing the Imperial Physician's words, the Empress could not help but heave a sigh of relief.
"But, her skin was densely covered with small red dots, no different from a beancurd rash. Whether it is contagious or not, this lowly subject is unable to make a decision right now"
"You don't know anything, what use is this Imperial Physician!?" The Empress Dowager angrily said.
"Empress Dowager, please calm your anger!" The Imperial Physician immediately knelt down in fright. "Right now, I'm afraid that only the Bai family can save Princess Linglong."
"Empress Dowager, we need to think of a way to deal with this matter properly." Duan Shuang immediately stepped forward to calm the empress dowager's emotions. "Imperial Physician, what else do we need to do now?"
"Your Highness, in order to avoid suspected contagious damage, we should sterilize the palace immediately."
"Alright, do what you need to do. You can go and give instructions first." Duan Shuang drove the imperial physician away.
"Emperor, then do we need to summon people from the Bai family to the Palace to diagnose Ling Long?"
"Isn't there a person from the Bai family in this Palace?" The empress dowager's anger had yet to dissipate. Today's Mid-Autumn Festival was supposed to be a great day. First, Bai Jiegeng unexpectedly gained face in the banquet and later, she hoped that Ho Lingloong would be able to take back a city. Who knew that there would be such a mess? It really ruined her mood.
"Mother, Jiegeng only learned some superficial medical skills. She must not be as good as the people in the hospital. Furthermore, she is now a princess and her rank is higher than Ho Lingloong. Wouldn't that be a disgrace to the Imperial Clan?" Duan Shuang seemed to have reason, but in reality, he was just avoiding responsibility for Jiegeng.
"Furthermore, what face does a person who destroys the royal family's banquet have to ask us to invite a famous doctor for her?"
"What the Emperor says is right." The Emperor had long seen that Duan Shuang was siding with Jiegeng. Furthermore, Ho Lingloong's sudden illness had really ruined his mood. "Send someone to send her back to the residence. How to treat her, solve it yourself."
"Mother, then will this banquet continue?" The Empress asked probingly.
"Why not? Just change to another palace to continue. What is the purpose of today's banquet, does the Empress not know?" The Empress Dowager no longer had a good temper towards the Empress.
"Yes, Chenqie will immediately go and prepare"
The Empress immediately left the Empress Dowager's chambers, and the Emperor followed closely behind.
"I know that Empress Dowager's tone is a bit heavy today, don't take it to heart." After coming out, the Emperor immediately began to console the Empress.
"Chenqie wouldn't dare."
"Enough, in front of Zhen, there is no need to be like this."
"Chenqie knows that the Empress Dowager is currently dissatisfied with Chenqie. What Chenqie can do is to try her best to gain the Empress Dowager's favor. How would she dare to complain? The Emperor should know that it was because of the matter of the Jiang Clan's daughter not being favoured. The Empress Dowager has already poured all of her resentment onto Chenqie. Chenqie is already used to it."
"You have suffered." The Emperor sighed.
Not long after, the banquet resumed in the new palace.
With such a huge commotion in the palace, they first sent Ho Lingloong out of the palace before changing the palace. Even if the Grand Hospital did not make it clear that Ho Lingloong was suffering from an infectious disease, the rumors would still spread. It was enough to crush Ho Lingloong to death.
As for the battle between Jiegeng and Ho Lingloong, Jiegeng naturally became the winner.
"In the end, I still have to thank Ho Lingloong. If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't have become famous in one battle!" Jiegeng excitedly said to Duan Shuang.
"Other people want reputation, but it is to get themselves a better marriage in the future. Why are you so excited? " Duan Shuang looked at the proud Jiegeng and could not help but narrow his eyes. Thinking of what happened to Qi Han, his vigilance increased a little.
Carefully looking at Jiegeng's current appearance, it had only been a few months. The childishness he had seen in City L had mostly faded. In addition, after carefully dressing up today, her beauty had actually become more and more eye-catching. Because he had seen her every day, he actually didn't notice her change.
Looking at this crescent white dress, Duan Shuang couldn't help but feel some regret. Why did she have to wear such an eye-catching dress in such an occasion?
"In order to be able to stand together with you, it's even more appropriate!" Jiegeng sweetly replied to him with a pure smile.
