As soon as the words came out of the courtyard, there was a silence in the Hall of Health.
All the eunuchs raised their hearts.
They had been living and eating in the palace for the past few days, disinfecting all parts of the palace every two hours, and they were not only tired, but they were also on tenterhooks, fearing that they might also contract smallpox, and that if the Fourth Prince and Consort Xiao Xian could not be saved, they would be buried with them.
When he didn’t hear the emperor’s angry scolding, the courtyard judge grew bolder, “Miss Song is a highly skilled doctor, she is beyond our reach, so please give the emperor an order.”
The rest of the eunuch doctors pleaded, “Please give your Majesty’s decree.”
“Huang De, you go and proclaim it.”
“Yes.”
The palace gates, which had been closed for two days, opened, and Huang De led the two young eunuchs out of the palace gates and headed straight for the South City.
……
Song Si and Song Yin listed out the dangers they would encounter in the palace and came up with a plan to deal with them, which they told Song Wan Yue.
Song Wan Yue listened carefully and took note of them.
Seeing that the two of them still looked tense, Song Wan Yue smiled and reassured them, “You still don’t trust my medical skills? It will be fine.”
Song Si opened her mouth, but in the end, nothing came out, stroking her head, “No matter what the situation is, you have to protect yourself first.”
Song Wan Yue nodded, “Don’t worry, I know.”
Song Si withdrew his hand and walked out, thoughtfully closing the door, looking outside at the dark and dreary sky, his heart growing heavier and heavier.
Inside the house, Song Yin kissed Song Wan Yue on the forehead and wrapped her in his arms, his voice low and firm, “This is the last time.”
This was the last time he would let Yue risk her life.
Listening to his steady heartbeat, Song Wan Yue smiled and nodded her head.
Song Yin’s throat was sore, he regretted it, he shouldn’t have waited three years, no, he shouldn’t have provoked Yue’er in the first place and pulled her into this danger.
However, he was glad that he had used the means to keep Yue by his side, giving him a bright light and something to look forward to in his lonely life.
“Young master, someone is coming from the palace.”
Little Four reported.
Song Yin slowly let go of Song Wan Yue, took her hand and walked out of the study.
Eunuch Huang led two young eunuchs accompanied by Song Si to walk quickly, and when he saw Song Wan Yue, his attitude was much kinder than before, “Miss Song, His Majesty has an order to announce you into the palace.”
Song Wan Yue was “surprised”, “Declared me into the palace?”
“Yes.”
“I wonder what the reason is?”
Eunuch Huang had already thought about it on his way here and lowered his voice to tell the truth, “The fourth prince and concubine Xian have gotten smallpox and the eunuch doctors are at their wits’ end, so the courtier proposed that Miss Song be allowed to enter the palace, and the emperor allowed it.”
Song Wan Yue covered her mouth in due course, her face turning pale.
Song Si was also shocked.
Song Yin even directly pulled Song Wan Yue back two steps, that look was as if Eunuch Huang was also infected.
Eunuch Huang could see clearly and was displeased. But at this moment he didn’t dare to get angry, the most important thing at the moment was to let Song Wangyue into the palace.
“We’re not going!”
Not only did Song Yin pull Song Wan Yue back, he also held her back as he looked at Eunuch Huang with a sullen gaze.
He had spent three years in the border barracks and had been on the battlefield, and at the moment his blood-chattering aura radiated out, compelling Eunuch Huang to take a small step back.
“Great ……”
A word nearly came out of his mouth, and was pressed back by him raw, but his attitude was not soft or hard, “This is the Emperor’s oracle, does Eunuch Song want Miss Song to resist the order?”
Disobeying the decree is punishable by death, this sentence was not said by Eunuch Huang, but all the people also understood.
“I’ll go.”
“Yue’er ……”
“In all fairness, I should have gone.”
In terms of emotion, Consort Xiao Xian and the Fourth Prince were Xiao Yao’s aunt and cousin, so even if the Emperor hadn’t given the word, she would have gone when she found out; in terms of reason, she knew how to heal, and although she wasn’t a licensed doctor, she was obliged to treat smallpox.
“Miss Song really understands the righteousness ……”
The eunuch Huang gave way, “Then please.”
“I’ll go pack a few changes of clothes.”
“Miss Song please also hurry.”
Song Wangyue walked quickly into the house and quickly came out with a parcel.
As if Song Si only reacted at this moment, her lips opened and closed, and half a day she made a sound, “Protect yourself.”
“Don’t worry, big brother.”
Song Yin took the package and carried it in one hand, holding her hand in the other as he walked outside.
Eunuch Huang did not stop and followed behind.
In a few days’ time, the two of them would be separated from each other, so he took it as a good deed.
Nearing the door, he remembered something, stopped and looked back at Song Si, “Sir Song, what I said today I hope rots in your bellies.”
Song Si knew the importance of the matter and nodded his head.
Eunuch Huang didn’t care about his attitude either, and lifted his feet to walk out the door.
Song Wan Yue and Song Yin were already on the carriage, and Xiao Si raised his whip and smacked it on the horse, which hissed and spread its hooves to run forward.
Eunuch Huang and the other two junior eunuchs hurriedly got into their own carriage and urged the driver to catch up with them. He knew that Song Wangyue would not take advantage of the opportunity to run away, but what if? If she did run away, the emperor would have to kill him!
Only when he reached the palace gate did Eunuch Huang breathe a sigh of relief, get off the carriage and walk up to Song Wangyue, “Miss Song, let’s go.”
Song Yin pursed her lips tightly.
Song Wangyue lifted her foot and kissed him on the forehead, “Wait for me to come out.”
Even Eunuch Huang, who had experienced a lot of hardships, had never seen a kiss like this before. I’m afraid it would take another lifetime.
Song Yin gave a soft mumble and stood still, watching her walk into the palace, the palace door closing, his hand hanging at his side clenched into a fist.
……
The palace was quiet.
There was not a single palace person in the long canals.
Eunuch Huang led the way at a fast pace to the fourth prince’s bedchamber.
When Sun Qi saw them from afar, he rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
The eunuch doctors waiting here, led by the courtier, had already greeted them.
The courtier saluted guiltily, “Miss Song.”
“Lord Yizheng.”
The courtier was called even more ashamed, if they hadn’t been incompetent, Miss Song wouldn’t have had to take this risk in the palace.
“Please give me a set for isolation.”
The courtier personally brought it to her, and Song Wan Yue put it on in front of everyone, “Open the door.”
Sun Qi was still in disbelief that the World Prince would allow Miss Song to come into the palace. But in front of everyone, he did not dare to reveal the slightest emotion, and personally went forward to open the door, Song Wangyue carried her own package and lifted her feet to walk in.
The courtier did not hesitate and followed him in. Sun Qi wanted to stop him, but it was already too late.
Inside the house, the fourth prince was in a coma, and Consort Xiao Xianfei took the wet handkerchief handed over by the palace maid and placed it on his forehead.
When she heard footsteps, she turned around and saw that it was Song Wan Yue, and stood up out of shape, “How can you come into the palace?”
