Three days later, Zeng Shaoqing, who had been frequently in and out of the palace these days, rushed into Fuqing palace. As soon as he learned that Seven was sick, he rushed back for support. When he knew that Chu Yunhan and Ling Jingxuan were both trapped in the inner hall, he was so anxious that he almost broke in directly. But it was still Old Nine who stopped him. Now that Old Nine and others could not leave for a single minute, they could only rely on him for things outside. If even he got trapped in the inner hall, their situation would undoubtedly be worse.

"Finally?"

For the past three days, Yan Shengrui had been staying in the hall. Now leaning against the chair and closing his eyes for a rest, hearing what Zheng Shaoqing said, Yan Shengrui slowly opened his eyes and a cold smile revealed on his lips. Only three days and they already couldn't wait? It seemed that he had overestimated their opponent. Humph! Trying to make trouble under his nose?See if they were qualified!

"This is my tiger-shaped tally. Give it to General Ye and ask him to dispatch twenty thousand troops to the Jinzhou camp overnight. As long as he sees my signal, he doesn't need to care about anything. Take my tally and enter the imperial city. Whoever stops him will be killed! I'd like to see who is so sick of living."

He sat up and took out a black tiger-shaped jade sculpture and threw it to him. A bloodthirsty smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. If they left him no choice, he didn't mind playing this game with them! As for his imperial elder brother, if he was smart enough, he should know how to make the choice. Otherwise, don't blame him for directly letting Seven take his place.

"Do you know the consequences of doing this?"

His Majesty wouldn't spare him if he knew that he mobilized the army without his authorization.

"Six, do you know what will happen to Seven if those people rush into the back hall? If Seven is gone, do you think that Yunhan or us could stay clean? I never like being in a passive position. The army is just in case. For me, nothing is more important than Jingxuan."

When he slowly raised his eyes, Zeng Shaoqing found that his usually domineering eyes were filled with coldness. If it really came to that step, they would all die whether they used the army or not. It was better to fight than to sit still and wait for death. Yan Shengrui was not being impulsive, but made this decision after calmly thinking.

"I know what to do."

Having understood what he meant, before turning to leave, Zeng Shaoqing glanced at the corner of the inner hall worriedly and asked, "is there any news from inside? Is everything...okay with Yunhan and others?"

On the second day, Little Nine and several servants who had served Yan Xiaoming closely also showed symptoms one after another. They were all worried that their loved ones would also get infected, but as long as Ling Jingxuan didn't fall down, they believed that all the infected people would be cured.

"There is no increase in the number of people infected for the time being. This morning, Yan Er came out and informed that there is a big development about the cowpox. I believe that the effect will be seen in two days."

Speaking of this, Yan Shengrui rubbed his temples wearily. He was not afraid of anything else, but only afraid that Ling Jingxuan would also get infected. If he fell down, they would really have no hope.

"Hmm, I'll leave everything here to you and Jingxuan. I... Forget it. I'm leaving now."

Zeng Shaoqing, who meant to say something, gave up. After taking a last look at the direction of the inner hall, he turned around and strode away. It was a waste of breath to say anything now. The only thing they could do was to wait until Jingxuan developed the cowpox. When Little Seven and Little Nine recovered and came out healthily.
