Just at this moment, there was a heavy knock on the door outside.

Fang Shangshu, who was worried, had to go to greet the guests first, but the dignified-looking Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment came to the door.

He said worriedly: "Old Minister, someone has escaped from Heifengya!"

Fang Laoshangshu was shaken all over, and he said quickly: "Send people to look for him quickly. We must not let people infected with the black plague endanger the people!"

The Minister of Punishment said cryptically: "Someone saw him escaping to the Fang family's backyard, so I brought people here in a hurry!"

"Backyard?" Fang Shangshu felt his eyes go dark.

Thinking of the three children who were suffering from high fever, his heart quickly fell to the bottom.

He urged in a trembling voice: "Hurry up and find him, hurry up!"

The Minister of Punishment sent people to search carefully in the backyard of Fang's house, and found a black body in the room where the baby's clothes were stored.

The pus on his body flowed everywhere and stained the children's clothes.

Remembering that the little ones had just changed their clothes last night, Fang Shangshu burst into tears with hatred.

He firmly grabbed the arm of the Minister of Punishment and ordered: "Check, we must find out how the patient in Heifengya came to the backyard of the Fang family? Someone must have deliberately murdered the prince and princess!"

The Minister of Punishment did not dare to neglect and directly ordered people to burn the corpse on the spot.

Seeing the smoke drifting out from the back house of the Fang family, Mrs. Tang Er felt an unusual joy in her heart.

The black plague has only become popular in the past six months, and it is not that contagious. Only those who come into contact with the pus flowing out of their bodies will become ill.

The only difficulty is that there is no cure!

All the imperial doctors racked their brains but couldn't come up with a cure, so they could only temporarily settle those people in Heifengya.

Ordinary people would be forcibly sent to Heifengya if they got sick, why not the Fang family?

She just wants to force the Fang family to give up these three children!

As long as they go up the mountain, there will be no way to survive!

Thinking that the Fang family was about to be forced into the limelight, she felt extremely happy in her heart.

She returned to the house and burned three sticks of incense for her daughter's memorial tablet. She whispered: "Good Shang'er, there will be three children to accompany you soon. You will not be lonely even under the Nine Springs!"

After she finished speaking, she ordered the maid beside her: "Go and send the message to the Queen. Everything has been settled. Whether the three children can go up the mountain depends on her ability!"

After receiving the news, Queen Tang hurried to the imperial study.

She looked anxiously at the cabinet minister who was handling government affairs and said, "I heard that a patient ran away from Heifengya? Have you caught him? Now the whole harem is in panic, but don't let it spread to others!"

Tang Shangshu spoke quickly: "Queen, my ministers have made their own decisions this time. Don't worry about this matter. The most important thing is to take good care of His Highness the Prince!

Queen Tang stared at him with frowning eyebrows: "It is because I care about His Highness the Prince that I want to intervene in this matter. If word spreads to the palace, which of you can bear this responsibility? Has the person infected with the black plague been found? ?where is he?"

Tang Shangshu was embarrassed and muttered: "I don't know this yet!"

Queen Tang sneered: "Are you not clear, or do you want to hide something?"

Liu Ge, the cabinet minister, spoke without hesitation: "The queen, please don't be angry. The patient has indeed been found, but he has been burned to death now and will not cause any trouble to the people in the capital!"

Queen Tang asked in a deep voice: "Where did he find him? Has anyone been infected with the black plague? Have you investigated everyone clearly?"

The voice fell, and the room was silent.

Until the hoarse voice of the old minister Fang outside the hall slowly sounded: "I found it in the old minister's mansion. Don't worry, the queen, our Fang family has been sealed, and no one will leave the mansion without authorization!"

Queen Tang was stunned. She said in surprise: "Seal the door? In other words, someone in the mansion has been infected with the black plague?"

Fang Laoshangshu replied in a deep voice: "Yes, they are the three babies in the mansion!"

As soon as the words fell, everyone present gasped.

The three babies of the Fang family are the children of the emperor and the empress.

Black plague is a terminal disease and there is no specific cure.

Anyone infected will definitely die!

The emperor and empress are not in the capital, and if the children are in trouble, there will definitely be a bloody storm in the court.

Queen Tang pretended to be sad and said: "I didn't expect that the children would suffer this disaster. What disease could they get? If they have to contract this black plague, what should they do?"

Tang Shangshu was the first to speak: "Miss Han is the eldest lady of the Medical Valley. She will definitely come up with a way to cure the children. Let them stay in Fang's house to recuperate in peace, right?"

Queen Tang also nodded hurriedly: "Yes, just follow what father said, let them stay in the mansion to recuperate, maybe until the antidote is developed?"

He said this, but secretly, he ordered people to spread the news.

So when Fang Lao Shangshu returned to the Ministry of War Shangshu Mansion, he saw many people shouting: "The children of the Fang family have been infected with the black plague. They must all be sent to Heifengya. We must not let them Innocent people are implicated!”

Fang Laoshang's expression suddenly changed. How did the people know?

He had immediately ordered the government to silence him. He had just returned from the palace and already the whole city knew about it.

Someone is obviously adding fuel to the fire!

He quickly ordered the servant: "Enter the house through the back door and don't make any noise!"

The boy responded and drove the carriage directly to the back alley.

After entering the house, Mr. Fang went to see Fang Wu.

She asked worriedly: "Father, what should I do? The children are very sick. I have dismissed the maids and nuns and taken care of them myself!"

Mr. Fang took a deep breath and said, "We can't let them stay in the house anymore. We have to find a safe place to send them!"

Han Yue'er was the first to speak: "Why don't we send them to the Medical Valley? I can take them there to develop an antidote!"

Fang Wu said anxiously: "Then I'll come with you, I can't stay in the house and do nothing!"

Fang Laoshangshu also agreed with the two people's decision, quickly sent someone to pack their clothes, and left directly through the back door.

In case of an accident on the way, Fang Qingyue and Han Ning personally escorted them.

It wasn't until the courtyard fell silent that Old Shangshu Fang ordered the housekeeper: "Go and open the door of the house. I want to give an explanation to the people!"

He came outside and said in a deep voice: "The sick child has been sent out. If you don't believe it, you can go into the house to check!"

After all, everyone is afraid of the Black Plague, so naturally they hide as far away as possible.

They didn't really check it, so they just dispersed.

Fang Laoshangshu stood at the door of Fang's house with a complicated expression, raised his eyes towards the Medical Valley and said, "Children, I hope you are safe!"

On the carriage speeding outside the city, the three little guys started making trouble one after another.

Han Yue'er and Fang Wu were extremely busy, but they couldn't coax them out.
