In the Zhaoyang Palace. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Wu Guifei was talking to the Lan family, while Jade was standing beside Wu Guifei, but she seemed a little absent-minded and uneasy.

She was thinking about the matter of Changkun Palace.

In the past few days, the gate of Changkun Palace has been closed, and no one has entered or exited, but it is also firmly fenced, and no news has been transmitted.

She deliberately let out a little bad news in the palace, such as that the seventh prince had smallpox and the sixth prince had smallpox......

And Changkun Palace seems to be in order to break the rumors, and yesterday deliberately let the three princesses and two princes of Changkun Palace come out and shake around. The rumors are self-defeating, but it also shows that everything is not going according to the trajectory she and Princess Hui expected.

She could be sure that someone in the Changkun Palace had been infected with smallpox, and the Shen family and her children who were sent to the abandoned palace, or there were others, but none of the seven princes, the sixth prince, and the three princesses were hit, and they were all fine.

Jade was very disappointed, but disappointed and very uneasy at the same time.

The emperor has already asked Gonggong Wan to investigate this matter, and she doesn't know when this fire will burn back to herself.

After a while, Wu Guifei turned her head and shouted: "Jade, jade......"

Wu Guifei shouted several times and saw that she didn't respond, so she couldn't help frowning, and shouted in a louder voice, "Jade." ”

The jade came back to her senses with a "heh", and hurriedly said, "Yes, the slave is here." ”

Wu Guifei said: "Did you hear what this palace said just now?" ”

Jade didn't speak, but looked at Lan, wanting to get a hint from her about what the concubine had told her.

As soon as Concubine Wu saw her like this, she knew that Yu Yu had not heard anything. couldn't help but say it again: "This palace asked you to explain to the people of Zhaoyang Palace, so that they don't go out less recently, especially don't go to Changkun Palace." ”

said with a cold face: "It is rumored in the harem that someone in Changkun Palace has smallpox, and the queen herself said that she is sick, and the imperial doctor goes in and out of Changkun Palace all day long, although the queen asked her princes and princesses to come out and shake around to refute the rumors, but who knows what happened in Changkun Palace." ”

Jade said yes, but didn't say anything.

Wu Guifei wanted to say more, but at this time, there was a noisy footstep outside. Wu Guifei frowned, and before she could ask who the person was, Gonggong Wan had already led someone into the main hall of Zhaoyang Palace.

Wu Guifei was a little dissatisfied when she saw Gonggong Wan who broke in, and said in a cold voice: "Gonggong Wan, you went straight to Zhaoyang Palace in this palace without notification, what are you going to do?" ”

Gonggong Wan stood for a while, bent his mouth and smiled at Wu Guifei, first bowed to the concubine, and said, "The slave has seen the concubine Niangniang. ”

Wu Guifei didn't call out, but just stared at him with sharp eyes, and said with a little anger: "Gonggong Wan has served in front of the emperor for many years, and it seems that he has not taken this palace in his eyes. ”

Gonggong Wan stood up directly, showed a trademark smile to Wu Guifei, and said, "The slave doesn't dare." Someone intended to murder the queen mother and the emperor's heir, and the slave was ordered by the emperor to investigate the matter. ”

Wu Guifei stood up angrily when she heard this, and said sharply: "You dare! ”

She knew the doorway in the palace very well, saying that she would take it away and ask a few words, and she might not be able to come back in the future.

Jade Yu has been loyal to her all her life, following her from the Xuanguo Mansion to the palace and then to the palace, she will never allow others to take her away like this.

Wan Gong said fairly: "Niangniang, this is the emperor's order, and I hope that Niangniang will cooperate." ”

After speaking, he glanced at the people behind him, and those people directly stepped forward to hold the jade.

Jade didn't resist, just closed her eyes slightly, and opened them again, as if her whole body had lost its strength.

Before she obeyed Princess Hui's wishes to do this, she already knew that there might be this fate, she had no unwillingness and resentment, the only regret was that she did not help Niangniang and the prince get rid of the two princes of Changkun Palace......

The concubine was still arguing with Gonggong Wan, and almost gritted her teeth and said, "Is it those children that the queen told the emperor that Jade wanted to harm her?" It's really a crime that wants to be added, why is there no excuse, did she still say that it was the palace that instructed the jade, why didn't she let the palace arrest the palace. After speaking, he said: "This palace wants to see the emperor, and this palace will never let Lin Yan frame this palace like this." ”

Gonggong Wan didn't speak, but just bowed slightly to Concubine Wu.

The jade who was being escorted next to her shed two lines of tears and said to the concubine: "Niangniang, the slave can no longer serve you in the future, take care." ”

The concubine turned her head in surprise and looked at the jade.

Jade Yu lowered her head, and then was escorted out of Zhaoyang Palace.

The palace people of Zhaoyang Palace gathered around to look outside, and Xiao Changan was frightened inside, and suddenly cried with a "wow", Lan picked him up, his hands and feet trembled a little, and his eyes showed a little fear.

After a long while, she looked at the concubine who was still standing there motionless, and cautiously called, "Niangniang......"

Wu Guifei muttered to herself: "No, Jade Yu won't do such a thing, it's Lin Yan who is framing them." ”

After speaking, she flicked her sleeves and was about to go out, she had to go to see the emperor, she couldn't let Lin Yan wronged them like this.

She has retreated again and again, and she no longer dares to compete with Changkun Palace, why does Lin Yan still refuse to let them go. She can't let the emperor wronged them like this, she can't let the emperor only listen to Lin Yan, the villain.

In the Changkun Palace.

The emperor and Lin Yan were sitting together, listening to Imperial Physician Zhang and Zhang Jinkui talking below.

Shen and her child did not survive smallpox and died three days after the onset of the disease. It was Shen's child who died first, and then Shen probably didn't want to live anymore, so he broke the bowl containing rice and committed suicide by cutting his wrists with fragments.

Outside the Changkun Palace, there was another palace maid named Xiaoru who had taken care of Shen's children who contracted smallpox, but she seemed to have survived this disaster, and the pox on her body had gradually improved and scabbed.

Lin Yan asked the bodies of Shen's mother and son to be burned, and for Xiaoru, she asked the imperial doctor to do his best to heal her.

The emperor had already found out that the Shen family's family was not involved in this matter, and he did not know about Xiao Muzi bringing things to the Shen family in their name, so the emperor did not embarrass the family.

At this time, the emperor stared at Imperial Physician Zhang and Zhang Jinkui, who were kneeling on the ground, for a long time, as if shocked by their words, and after a long while, he asked, "...... You said you wanted to inoculate several princesses with pox to prevent smallpox? ”

Imperial Physician Zhang said in a respectful voice: "Your Majesty, although this method is a bit appalling, it is indeed recorded in ancient medical books to prevent smallpox. On the basis of the methods recorded in ancient books, the pox species were improved, so that the toxicity was greatly reduced, and the inoculation was placed on the human body, and after healing, the smallpox could no longer be contracted for life. ”

The emperor said, "Then I ask you, what is the chance of success, and you will definitely be cured after vaccination?" ”

Imperial Physician Zhang said: "Your Majesty, although this method is still dangerous, the chance of recovery is indeed very great. ”

The emperor angrily picked up a tea bowl and smashed it on Imperial Physician Zhang's head, and said angrily: "There is a dangerous method, you still take it to me, and I want my children to test it for you." Changyu, you are so bold! After speaking, he said angrily: "Come on, take off the hat of the judge of Changyutai Hospital, and take me into custody." ”

When Zhang Jinkui heard this, he hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy: "The emperor forgives the sin, the emperor forgives the sin, the master is not hearted, please forgive the emperor......"

Lin Yan also pulled the emperor's sleeve when she heard this, and persuaded him: "The emperor dissipates his anger, Imperial Doctor Zhang has been in the hospital for so many years, and he has no merit and hard work. ”

The Emperor was still angry, that is, the method that Imperial Physician Zhang said was indeed effective, but even if there was still a tenth of the danger, he would rather protect his children from smallpox than let them bear the tenth of the danger.

Lin Yan was a little moved by the way Imperial Doctor Zhang said, if this method is really feasible, it is indeed a one-and-done method. And if it is popularized in the future, it will also be a kind of good governance for those people outside who are suffering from smallpox.

Lin Yan said to the emperor: "Why did the emperor let Imperial Doctor Zhang concentrate on studying the pox, see how effective his experiment was, and then decide whether to let the children in the palace try it." ”

The emperor naturally knew the benefits of pox if it really had an effect on preventing smallpox. Nowadays, there are still many villages in Daliang every year that there is an epidemic of smallpox, so the number of people who die is unknown, and even some villages will directly lead to the extinction of the whole village.

So the Emperor pondered a few times, and finally nodded. (To be continued.) )
