Chapter 260: Pleading
The news that the seventh prince born to the queen's mother, Leng Ye Chenting, was infected with smallpox soon spread throughout the palace. The palace became panicked for a while, and people in the palace asked the hospital for preventive medicine to prevent infection, so as not to be infected with the disease with an extremely high mortality rate.
The medicinal materials of the Tai Hospital are actually running out.
"The queen mother, it's all slaves and maids who are not good, and it is the slaves and maids who don't take good care of the Seven Princes." After Liu Yuanzheng left, she knelt on the ground with a plop, and she wanted to kill herself ugly. Xia Nishang trusted her like this, and entrusted her with the most important things to do, but she repeatedly disappointed Xia Nishang.
"Get up." Xia Nishang was in no mood to care about these things. Her son is still in dire straits, where does she have the time and mood to deal with the chores in the palace.
"Queen Mother, the slave maid had smallpox when she was a child, let the slave maid take care of the Seventh Prince." Erlan cast a color at the fan, telling her to stand up first. However, he hated himself to death, and he refused to listen to anything. Erlan didn't matter, so he had to speak.
"What you said is true?" Xia Nishang's eyes were a little blurry, as if there was no way to focus. "This palace doesn't want you to give up yourself, you know?"
Although Xia Nishang was very worried about her son, she didn't want others to suffer. Er Lan is her right-hand man, no matter from that aspect, she can't leave her.
"Don't worry, the slave really had smallpox when she was young, and the slave also knows how to take care of the little prince, if the mother trusts the slave, she will hand over the little prince to the slave and the maid to take care of." Er Lan almost swore to Xia Nishang's curse. She really had smallpox, that's why she dared to volunteer like this.
"Okay, then this palace will hand over Ting'er to you, but you also have to promise this palace that you must take care of yourself." Xia Nishang looked at Er Lan, then at the child in her arms, bit her lip and said.
"Don't worry, mother." Er Lan nodded heavily, she would definitely not let Leng Yechen Ting have an accident. When Emperor Yunxi died before, Xia Nishang's state was always in front of her eyes, looking at the always strong queen mother crying like a child, Er Lan secretly told herself that she must not let her experience that pain in the future. "Niangniang, the slave maid will take good care of the Seventh Prince, but you, during the time when the slave and maid are no longer there, you must also take good care of yourself."
"Good. This palace will be fine, this palace is waiting for you to come out. Xia Nisheng's eyes were a little moist, and she leaned down again and gently kissed Leng Yechenting's little face, which was to hand him over to Er Lan.
I don't know if it's because he left the arms of the queen mother, Leng Ye Chenting began to cry loudly again, Xia Nisheng's heart tightened, and she wanted to step forward. was stopped by Er Lan with his eyes.
"Sister Ran Tian, take Niangniang back, take good care of Niangniang." With a thick determination on her face, Er Lan turned around, letting Xia Nishang burst into tears behind her back, but she didn't look back.
"Mother, let's go back." Ran Tian looked at Er Lan's back in the distance, and said softly.
The queen mother has just been in close contact with the Seven Princes, and now she still has to go back and take a shower and take some medicine, if she is infected, how can it be good.
Xia Nishang looked at Er Lan's departing figure, and then looked at Ran Tian next to her, then nodded lightly and left with her.
However, a second before she left, she said a word to the fan who was still kneeling on the ground.
"For the next few days, you should rest in the house first."
After saying that, he left without looking back. Fan Xi knew in her heart that Xia Nishang was afraid that she would not believe her anymore. However, she didn't feel aggrieved at all, after all, it was because she didn't take good care of the Seven Princes that such a thing would happen.
Back in the dormitory, Ran Tian had already asked people to prepare hot water, and there was also Chinese medicine powder that Liu Yuan was sending to him. Xia Nishang soaked in the warm hot water with a hint of the smell of traditional Chinese medicine, but the expression on her face did not relax.
She was wondering who had done so much. She is not a little white flower who has just entered the palace, nor is she the ignorant girl who has been raised in the deep boudoir, how can she not smell a trace of conspiracy after staying in the palace for so many years.
It's just that Xia Nishang never thought that someone would put his hand into her Qifeng Palace or harm her child. Now how much pain Leng Yechen Ting has suffered, how much remorse Xia Nishang has in her heart.
She originally thought that after what happened to Zhou Yanling, Qifeng Palace was already a lot cleaner, at least no one would act blindly. But now it seems that she still thinks too little.
However, it was not time yet, and she was not in the mood for that. Let those people live for a while longer, and when she has her hands free, she will also let that person taste what life is better than death.
Xia Nishang just soaked for a while and then came out. In fact, she wanted to stay a little longer and be alone for a while, but Ran Tian hurriedly came to report, saying that the emperor was coming.
Xia Nishang was helpless, so she had to change her clothes and rush out.
Leng Yexuan's face had a trace of anxiety and ugliness, it was impossible for him not to know such a big thing. Liu Yuan must have sent someone to inform Leng Yexuan at the first time.
Therefore, Xia Nishang knew why Leng Yexuan came, and the expression on her face slowly relaxed a little.
"Your Majesty, why are you here?" Xia Nishang blessed her body with cold nights, just like before.
"How's Ting'er?"
Xia Nishang guessed correctly. Leng Yexuan had just learned the news from the morning court, and he was in a hurry at that time. You must know that smallpox is extremely contagious, and if it is infected, it will not survive in ten cases, and even if it does, it will have all kinds of sequelae.
With such an infectious disease, there is no way to make Leng Yexuan not worried.
"Back to the emperor, Ting'er has already taken medicine. Er Lan next to the concubine once had smallpox, and the concubine sent her to take care of her. Xia Nishang replied.
"Queen, such an infectious disease is only afraid that it will be more than lucky. Otherwise, let's send Ting'er out of the palace to recuperate. Leng Yexuan looked at Xia Nisheng's face and thought for a while, but still said it.
Going out of the palace to recuperate, it is said that it is to take better care of it and prevent a large-scale outbreak of infectious diseases.
Xia Nishang couldn't have imagined that this was actually coming out of Leng Yexuan's mouth, and for a while, she looked at Leng Yexuan in a daze, very disbelieving.
"Your Majesty, what did you say?" Xia Nishang refused to believe her ears, so she asked again.
"Queen, I know that you feel sorry for Ting'er, but if an infectious disease like smallpox breaks out on a large scale, it will be a natural disaster." Leng Yexuan looked at Xia Nishang with some embarrassment, but he still said what he thought in his heart.
"No, Your Majesty, the concubine begs you, please don't send Ting'er out." Xia Nishang's tears burst out of her eyes, even if she was so uncomfortable just now when she saw her son in her arms, she gritted her teeth and didn't cry. Now that she heard Leng Yexuan speak like this, she had no way to control herself.
The heart is getting colder and colder, Leng Ye Chenting is the child of the two of them, he is still struggling with the pain of illness, but his father has given up on him. This kind of cognition made Xia Nishang unable to accept it, and shouted involuntarily.
"Queen, you must know that I am the emperor, and I can't help but think about the people of the world." Looking at Xia Nisheng's appearance, Leng Yexuan was also a little distressed. But he couldn't help it, he couldn't let those things happen. There was a large-scale outbreak of smallpox in the previous dynasty, but how many people died, such a consequence is impossible for anyone to bear.
"Your Majesty, the concubines have already made people isolate Ting'er, don't worry, the concubines will definitely see Ting'er, and there will be no problems." Xia Nishang threw herself on the ground uncontrollably, only to feel that even her legs and feet were weak. With deep tears on her face, she begged Leng Yexuan bitterly not to separate their mother and son.
"Queen, I can't help it, you have to understand me." Leng Yexuan rubbed his brain, feeling very distressed.
"Your Majesty, the concubine can promise you, and the people of the whole world, that if Ting'er's illness is really infectious, the concubine is willing to resign as the queen and hand over the concubine's phoenix seal." Xia Nisheng was crying so much that her voice was dumb, she had no choice, she couldn't give up her child. If he is really allowed to leave the palace to recuperate, then he will never see him again.
No matter what, Xia Nishang has to fight for it.
"Queen, do you know what you're talking about?" Leng Yexuan couldn't help frowning when he heard Xia Nisheng's words. Does she know what the title of queen represents, and does she resign as soon as she can say it?
"Your Majesty, the concubine only begs you not to let Ting'er out of the palace." Xia Nishang stretched out her hand to wipe away the tears on her face, raised her head, and looked at Leng Yexuan with a firm expression. "The concubine is Ting'er's mother, the emperor can ignore him, but the concubine is a mother, and the concubine can't!"
"Forget it! Queen, do it yourself! Leng Yexuan only felt that his angry muscles were violent, and he really didn't want to talk to her anymore. He waved his sleeves and left without looking back.
Leaving Xia Nishang alone, sitting on the ground dejectedly, with a mocking smile on her face.
"Ting'er, your father doesn't care about you, the queen mother wants you, you must persevere!"
