Chapter 221: Concubine Yu Falls Ill

Zhuang Muyan's expression soured at once, and just as he was about to say something, he was stopped by Chu Nanli.

"It's alright, attending to the Jade Consort's illness is more important."

Zhuang Muyan nodded, entered the palace gates.

Unhindered this time, Zhuang Muyan, accompanied by Chu Nanli, made his way directly to the Jade Consort's side.

"Water..." The Jade Consort murmured in a faint, feeble voice.

Chu Nanli leaned in, poured a cup of water, then helped the Jade Consort sit up.

By this time, the Jade Consort had fevered to the point of delirium. Her complexion was pale, and red spots had begun to appear on her face.

It looked very much like smallpox.

Chu Nanli's face immediately turned serious.

Smallpox is a contagious disease.
