No, I was just a concubine, how did I become the queen?

Chapter 484 Epidemic

"Stop crying!" The Fourth Master said in a low voice with a stern look on his face.

Thirteen covered his mouth and nose, but continued to sob.

He looked around and asked quietly, "Fourth Brother, will we...will we die?"

The Fourth Master shook his head and said firmly, "No."

The Emperor is not such a cruel person. Even if the Prince really rebelled, the Emperor would not let him die immediately.

What's more, the two of them just watched the farce up close and didn't even understand the specific situation.

He just watched them say it was a rebellion, and the emperor changed his mind and just deposed the crown prince.

Now they are locked up here, and those outside who know about it are killing them one after another, just to make them learn their lesson.

If you want a good name that will be passed down through the ages, you cannot be accused of filicide, and even the slightest rumor cannot be known to future generations.

The Fourth Master was not afraid, and he also guessed what the prince had exchanged his life for. Now it depended on how the Emperor would use it.

Thirteen still couldn't help crying. He thought of his eldest son who was born this year, and his heart was even more sad.

He knew best how difficult it would be for a child without the protection of his parents, and he really didn't want his own child to end up in the same situation as him.

The Fourth Master did not comfort him anymore, but just sat there quietly, wondering who the Emperor would attack.

He wanted to have a healthy, young body, but he also had to make sure he could take control of the situation in a short period of time.

Then the older princes from the tenth prince onwards will definitely not be chosen, and the younger ones under the age of sixteen will not be chosen either.

So the only numbers to choose from are twelve, thirteen and fourteen.

But Thirteen has been living in fear these past few years and his health is not very good, so he may not be interested in her.

That left only twelve and fourteen, and fourteen was younger.

The Fourth Master’s eyes darkened.

I have worked so hard for so long, but I still lack a bit of luck.

It’s really a bargain at 14.

There is only one way to save the situation now, and that is to reveal the fact that it was just a seven-day experience talisman and let him see the truth.

But for a drowning person, the last piece of driftwood in his hand is just an illusion when you expose it.

No one can predict how crazy this person will become.

The Fourth Master suppressed this thought and started thinking from the Fourteenth Master's perspective.

Seven days, as long as you can hold on for seven days, then...

Emperor Kangxi held the talisman in his hand, his eyes flickering as he thought of all his sons.

Finally, Fourteen’s face appeared in my mind.

He had always loved this son very much, but no matter how much he loved him, he was still just a son.

He has so many sons, and when he lives again, there will be more.

However, Fourteenth is still studying in the upper study and has not made any achievements at all. How can he convince others by bypassing so many sons ahead of him?

Emperor Kangxi began to think about his four first sons. The eldest and the fourth son were both capable of commanding the support of the people, but they were also old.

As time passed, a voice finally came from the emperor's tent.

Liang Jiugong went in for a while, then came out with orders and led his men to the Fourth Master's tent.

Seeing the young eunuch coming in with pills, the Fourth Master's eyes narrowed, but he remained calm.

But Thirteen jumped up suddenly like a frightened beast.

"The Emperor is going to poison me..." His mouth was faster than his brain, and he was talking without thinking at this moment.

Before he could finish his words, it was too late to stop himself.

Liang Jiugong said with a forced smile, "Please invite the Thirteenth Prince to leave."

"You..." Thirteen struggled twice and was dragged away.

The Fourth Master didn't say anything. Since Thirteen had been taken away, this bowl of medicine was prepared for him.

"The Fourth Master has been busy and tired lately and has fallen ill. His Majesty is concerned about your health and has specially asked the imperial physician to prepare some tonic medicine," Liang Jiugong said in a calm voice.

The Fourth Master looked at the bowl of medicine, his hands tightly twisted together behind his back.

It is impossible for people to remain calm when facing the threat of death.

Just like Thirteen's loss of composure just now, he should be like this too.

But when he thought of Cha Cha and the children in the capital, the Fourth Master didn't say a word.

If he died, then Cha Cha and the others who were unaware of the situation would be able to survive.

The Fourth Master reached out his hand, picked up the bowl of medicine, and smiled sadly, "Thank you, Father Huang, for the medicine."

Then, he drank it all in one gulp.

Liang Jiugong watched him finish drinking and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Fourth Master. It's just an epidemic. You can recover."

"Your Majesty is also worried about you, but the dragon's health is more important, so I can only return to the capital first."

Not poison.

Is it an epidemic?

It seems that the emperor does not want this prince, who knows the truth and has some influence, to return to Beijing so that he can cut the Gordian knot and get everything done.

The Fourth Master watched Liang Jiugong leave, and what he was thinking about was how to let Cha Cha know all this.

Emperor Kangxi set off for Beijing overnight, taking his two unfilial sons with him.

One of them will be imprisoned in Xian'an Palace after returning, and the other will be imprisoned in Yangfeng Alley.

Well, one of his sons died of illness, and another contracted an epidemic and had to stay to recuperate, but he took all the imperial physicians away.

None of the four sons he brought out could return safely.

The Fourth Master had already started to have a fever and vomit. He carefully observed that the Emperor had really passed away cleanly.

There was not even anyone left to look after him.

Only Su Peisheng and his servants were left by his side.

He summoned Wei Yi and said, "Take all the secret guards back and tell your master to guard the gates tightly and protect the child."

He didn't know if he could survive due to the lack of medical care, but Chacha and the others had to survive.

Wei Yi took the order and returned home with his men overnight.

Su Peisheng was so scared that he knelt on the ground looking at the Fourth Master who was vomiting non-stop.

"Master?" His hoarse voice sounded like he was crying when he screamed.

Fourth Master: "Shut up! Go get the doctor and get some medicine!"

He also learned some knowledge about sterilization and disinfection from Lin Mingyan.

More importantly, in the past few years, she asked Wu and Doctor Jia to research a prescription for epidemic diseases, and asked him to carry this prescription with him whenever he went out.

He began to wonder why he had to carry the prescription.

Now, what is there that you don’t understand?

It seems his Cha Cha is more than just two lives...

Su Peisheng had been through a lot after all, and he was just too scared. Now that the Fourth Master had given him instructions, he immediately cheered up.

Emperor Kangxi had just returned to the Forbidden City when Wei Yi and others rushed back.

He learned that Eighteenth had died, the Crown Prince had been deposed, Thirteenth had been imprisoned, and the Fourth Master had contracted an epidemic.

Lin Mingyan's political sensitivity is not high. After all, she has not received any education in this area and has no chance to touch upon these things.

But she was a very perceptive person and immediately thought of the talisman.

Her voice was hoarse: "Are there any of our people in the palace?"
