Empress Dowager Zhou lay on the bench and said weakly after a while, “Keep it for now.”

Eunuch Yu and Nanny Gao looked at each other and could not persuade her

anymore.

“All of you, get out. Don’t let me pass on my illness to you,” Empress Dowager Zhou said again.

Nanny Gao’s eyes turned red. “I’m not afraid.”

Eunuch Yu did not feel good either. He wiped his tears and said, “It’s all my fault. Your Majesty has repeatedly instructed me to carefully smoke the things sent from the city with wormwood before sending them to the empress dowager. I smoked the letter repeatedly, but I forgot to open it…”

“That’s normal. Who dares to open my letter?” Empress Dowager Zhou interrupted him.

Seeing that she had closed her eyes after saying that, Eunuch Yu shut his mouth in embarrassment.

Xuanyuan Ziming had already received the news that Empress Dowager Zhou had entered the city and was waiting at the palace gate with the imperial physicians in advance.

After all, she was the empress dowager of a country. It was naturally impossible for her to live in the quarantine area like others.

The carriage stopped. Xuanyuan Ziming walked forward and was about to greet her.

Eunuch Yu stuck his head out and gestured for him to keep quiet.

Xuanyuan Ziming understood and waved his hand to signal the people behind him to make way so that Empress Dowager Zhou’s carriage could enter the palace.

The carriage finally stopped in front of the Longevity Palace. A few eunuchs carried Empress Dowager Zhou into the bedroom on a stretcher, but she did not wake up.

Xuanyuan Ziming was worried. He asked softly with a dark expression, “How did Grandmother contract the plague?”

The messenger only said that Empress Dowager Zhou was sick and wanted to enter the city. He did not say anything else.

Eunuch Yu looked bitter, not knowing what to say.

Consort Wan tucked Empress Dowager Zhou in. “It’s a letter from the princess to Mother.”

Xuanyuan Ziming frowned.

“Alright, I’ll take care of Mother. Mingler, go and do your work. When Mother wakes up, I’ll get someone to inform you.”

“Mother, you have to take good care of yourself too.”

Consort Wan smiled. “Don’t worry, I will.”

Seeing that he really couldn’t help here, Xuanyuan Ziming gave a few more instructions before leaving.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she left the main hall, she met Xuanyuan Ye, who was supported by a palace maid.

Xuanyuan Ye’s face was abnormally red, and her eyes were red from crying.

Seeing Xuanyuan Ziming, she quickly asked, “Third Cousin, how’s Imperial Grandmother?”

Xuanyuan Ziming looked at her quietly for a long time and said coldly,

“Imperial Grandmother is resting. Don’t go in and disturb her.”

Xuanyuan Ye’s eyes widened, as if she was hurt by his tone. Tears welled up in her eyes. “Did Imperial Grandmother fall sick because of me?”

“It’s good that you know.” Xuanyuan Ziming did not show any mercy and said directly, “The imperial physician said that Grandmother’s condition is only mild now. In order to prevent her condition from worsening, stay in your room and recuperate. Don’t get close to her.”

In the past, Xuanyuan Ziming felt that Xuanyuan Ye was pitiful and treated her well. Even when Xuanyuan Ye’s background had been exposed, he would at most become emotionless towards her. This time, he was really angry with her.

Hearing that he was blaming her, Xuanyuan Ye explained while crying, “Third Cousin, I didn’t do it on purpose. I didn’t expect to be infected. If I knew, I would never have sent a letter to Grandmother.”

She cried until she was out of breath. She was already sick, so when she cried, her body swayed and she almost fainted.

Ruo Mei and Chun Xi supported her from both sides.

Xuanyuan Ziming sneered. “If I remember correctly, you went to the quarantine area before sending the letter yesterday and even had a big fight with Bai Zhi.”

Xuanyuan Ye’s body stiffened. “I’ve been there before, but I didn’t catch the plague…”

Xuanyuan Ziming retracted his gaze. “Forget it. Imperial Grandmother doted on you so much in the past. I also think you didn’t do it on purpose… Otherwise, wouldn’t you be worse than an animal?”

He said that he believed her, but Xuanyuan Ye felt that he was being sarcastic.

“The two of you, send the princess back.” Thinking of something, Xuanyuan

Ziming paused and said, “My grandmother is recuperating in the Longevity Palace. It’s not good to disturb her with too many people. You should move to the Ganquan Palace first.”

Xuanyuan Ye gritted her teeth indignantly. “Yes.”

Xuanyuan Ziming turned to leave.

“Third Cousin.” Xuanyuan Ye stopped him. Xuanyuan Ziming turned around and pursed her lips. “I heard that Sister… Can you ask her to save Imperial Grandmother?”

“As long as she’s willing to save Imperial Grandmother, I’m willing to work for her, even if it costs my life.”

Xuanyuan Ziming’s face turned cold. “You’d better pray that before your condition worsens, the doctors can find a prescription to treat the plague and help you keep your life.”

Xuanyuan Ye’s face turned pale. “What do you mean?”

“You don’t know, right? The person who spread the rumors has already been caught. Jiajia’s blood can’t cure the plague at all. The person only said that because someone wanted to use the commoners to kill her.”

“How is that possible? That person clearly… Bai Zhi clearly said that she’s a Saintess. If her blood can’t cure the plague, why didn’t she fall sick?” Xuanyuan Ye panicked. If Shen Yijia’s blood was useless, wouldn’t Grandmother and her…

“Nothing is certain. Perhaps it’s because she’s used to suffering since she was young. She’s in good health. As for Bai Zhi…” Xuanyuan Ziming sneered. “She’s just being used as a tool, but she’s so stupid that everyone knows about it.”

Xuanyuan Ye’s face alternated between green and white. She had been deceived?

Xuanyuan Ziming did not say anything else and instructed someone to send Xuanyuan Ye to the Ganquan Palace before leaving.

Actually, Jia Quan did not know if Shen Yijia’s blood could cure the plague. Ji Yunxi had asked them to say that.

The reason why Xuanyuan Ziming said that was because he did not want Xuanyuan Ye to have any designs on Shen Yijia.

“Your Highness, where are we going now?” Little Zhu Zi asked. “I’m going to look for Brother Song.”

After the commotion, Song Jingchen and Ji Luo didn’t go out again.

They took the risk of being infected with the plague, but those people wanted their lives, so the two of them simply ignored everything.

Of course, this was only on the surface.

Therefore, Ji Luo cleared out the storeroom in the backyard and used it as a pharmacy. She wrote a new prescription and directly corrected the imperial physician without showing up.

It was unknown if it was because they had changed to a quiet environment or because they were too anxious to protect Shen Yijia, but the new prescription today was really effective.

Although it wasn’t obvious, it was at least a good start.

However, to everyone’s surprise, an accident still happened.

Knock knock.

There was a knock on the courtyard door.

“I’ll open the door,” Shen Yijia said and walked out with an umbrella.

Song Jingchen frowned and felt inexplicably uneasy as he watched Shen Yijia reach out to pull the latch.

The courtyard door opened.

Seeing the person Imeeling in the rain, Shen Yijia frowned. “What are you doing here?”

Ma San kowtowed. “My wife is about to die. Madam Song, please save her.”

It was actually not easy for Madam Ma’s situation to drag on until today. Shen Yijia had heard Ji Luo mention it a few times, so this outcome was within her expectations.

However, Ma San could not accept it.

He even thought that as long as Shen Yijia was willing to help, Madam Ma could still be saved..
