43 The Plague

The two of them focused on handling the medicinal herbs.

Because the prince was unwilling to expose Qiu Xiaobei's ability to know medicine, and the prince wanted to make trouble, he publicized it on the grounds that the emperor had a dream, so this will, they have an antidote that no one can know, and it was said before that there were also palace people in the East Palace who found out that there was something wrong with the body, but it was only on the grounds that Imperial Doctor Lin found out that the abnormality, the virus had not broken out, and there was a way to control it, and then slowly eradicate the conditioning.

Therefore, only Qiu Xiaobei and Lin Ziyi are making the antidote now, and Lin Ziyi's little apprentice is fighting, and judging from the current situation where no one takes it seriously, when the virus breaks out, it will definitely be a piece of people, and in the later stage, there will definitely be a lot of antidotes needed, so the two of them will have to be tired.

After burying his head in the configuration for a while, Qiu Xiaobei straightened up and hammered his back in pain.

She has been pregnant for nearly two months, and although she has not yet shown her pregnancy, her physical strength has decreased significantly compared to before, she is easily tired, and her bones are easy to ache.

Lin Ziyi happened to look up, saw it, got up and went to the inner hall, and came out after a while, holding two pillows in his hands, which were sewn with cotton wool wrapped in cotton cloth, although simple, but exquisite by hand.

The two pillows, one was placed behind her for her to lean on, and the other was placed on her lap, the pillow was made very large and flat, just like putting a soft table on her lap, Lin Zi also put the basket with medicinal herbs on the pillow, so that she could rely on it, except for the final firing and other steps, picking up medicinal materials or something, she could completely rely on it to complete, it would be much easier.

Qiu Xiaobei was a little moved, but it was too strange for her and Lin Ziyi to say thank you, so she continued to slapped her mouth: "It's really good to sew, take out this craft, those embroiderers should be ashamed of themselves, who marries and who is blessed in the future, who shows this?" ”

"Speak well, will you try again?" Lin Zi couldn't stand it either, so he took out all the knives that removed the medicine.

"Zi Yige is shy."

With a bang, the knife was stuck in the basket in front of her!

Qiu Xiaobei hurriedly made a zipper gesture on her closed lips, and every time she saw Lin Ziyi being as serious as an old pedant, she couldn't help but want to tease him.

After a while, she couldn't help but open her mouth again: "Zi Yige Ge...... No, Imperial Doctor Lin! ”

Lin Zi also withdrew the silver needle of the warning: "Say." ”

Qiu Xiaobei touched her nose, and Taiyi Lin, who felt good, was made arrogant by her: "Our family wants to inquire with you, the youngest daughter of Wei Guogong." ”

"What do you ask her for?"

"I want to know, His Royal Highness the Prince, do you really have to marry her?"

She knows very well that this plague will definitely break out, and how much the prince has endured at that time will be returned, and Wei Qianjin will be sick, and at that time, it will be time to be alive, and the wedding will still take place.

Lin Zi also looked at her in confusion.

Qiu Xiaobei touched his nose again: "Miss Wei was pointed out to the crown prince by the emperor, I'm worried about whether it will be the second concubine Zhou." ”

"The emperor and the crown prince are father and son, and as a father, he naturally thinks about his son." Lin Zi also replied decently, after all, he still didn't trust Qiu Xiaobei.

Qiu Xiaobei lowered his head and raked the herbs in the basket: "It's not stupid, can this say something real." He was wary of her, not wanting to leave any words in her hands, and she understood, "Imperial Doctor Lin, I'm asking you very seriously, it's just the two of us here." ”

The little apprentice also went out to the medicine hall not long ago to get medicine.

"Whether the prince marries or not, what does it have to do with you?"

"I ......" Qiu Xiaobei paused, then raised his head, "I don't want the prince to marry her." ”

"Why?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Because I'm afraid she will hurt the prince. ”

No, it's any woman, she doesn't want the prince to marry into the door.

"Gonggong Pei, he is really loyal to His Royal Highness the Prince."

At first glance, his serious and solemn face really can't tell that this sentence is mocking.

Qiu Xiaobei said with a smile: "As a minion, you naturally have to be loyal to your master. And her hand, unconsciously pinching a stem and leaf, broke it with too much force.

Lin Ziyi didn't continue to taunt her, he fell silent, and only when Qiu Xiaobei thought that he still wouldn't tell her anything, he slowly spoke:

"In this palace, it's not that if you don't think it's good, you can't do it. Yes, I don't need to say it, everyone can see what the emperor thinks about His Royal Highness, and they also know that the young lady in the Wei Mansion has entered the East Palace, but I am afraid that it will be more troublesome than Concubine Zhou, but so what?

Some time ago, you joined forces with His Royal Highness to abolish half of the eldest prince, the four princes were confined, Zhou Guifei was reprimanded, the emperor didn't go to see her for a few days, Concubine De was locked up in the Buddhist hall and didn't dare to show up, and the most important thing is that the emperor's face was trampled on by you, the crisis of His Royal Highness being abolished was lifted, the East Palace was lifted, and the prime minister gained a lot, do you think you have won? ”

He shook his head solemnly: "No, this is just the beginning, the more benefits you get, the more difficult the situation will be, everyone is staring at your little benefit, and the people who have lost face are resentful, His Royal Highness cannot refute the emperor's face at such a time, he must make concessions." "Those who want to monopolize the benefits will not end well, and it is better to rely on allies than to attack them all in groups.

Even if the alliance will bring other troubles to himself, for the sake of temporary harmony and for the lives of the others in the East Palace, this alliance must be formed.

This marriage must also be married!

He looked at Qiu Xiaobei: "I don't know what you have in mind, Your Highness's wedding, you can't destroy it, understand?" ”

"I don't understand!"

Lin Zi also looked at Grandpa Pei who suddenly lost his temper in surprise.

She threw away the basket in her arms, stood up with a "swish", and the pillows on her body fell to the ground, she didn't care, and walked out with a cold face.

"Where are you going?" Lin Zi also got up and asked.

"Go back!"

The people of the entire palace are having trouble with Fan Shenxi, why is she working hard here for their life and death? Even if someone wants to rob her Highness, she can only watch and give it up again, why, why, why!!

It's better that everybody is dead!

Lin Ziyi just watched her leave, frowning, he looked more serious, and then looked at the herbs and pillows that were sprinkled on the ground, and sighed lightly in his heart, it turned out that the person who was timid and afraid at first sight had such a big temper, and he looked more temperamental than the rumored wayward daughter of the Wei family, and he didn't look like a child from a poor family at all.

Oh yes, she once said that her father was a great doctor, and maybe, before entering the palace, she was also a child who was spoiled by the family?

Shaking his head, he resigned himself to the fate of walking over to pick up the herbs on the ground, no matter what, he would ensure that His Highness's plan could be carried out smoothly, then this medicine could not be lacking.

But as soon as he walked to the place where Qiu Xiaobei was sitting, the curtain separating him from the outer hall was lifted, and he looked sideways and saw Qiu Xiaobei standing at the door.

Her face was still stinky, tense, and reluctant, but she still walked over to him, crouched down in front of him, first picked up the pillow and patted it back in the chair, and then picked up the basket and picked up the bits and pieces of herbs one by one.

"Why are you back again?" Lin Ziyi squatted down to help her pick it up.

Qiu Xiaobei said sullenly: "Because, Your Highness needs it." ”

Because, it is impossible for her to fly away with Fan Shenxi, because her Royal Highness will continue to survive in this palace, and she will continue to fight with all forces, and she has to help him.

So she had to endure it, so she turned back.

Lin Zi also raised his eyes to look at her.

The most rare thing is not that people who have no temper and do not have assertiveness to accommodate you, but that they are willing to endure everything for the sake of those who care about them.

Such a person will really be a fine work?

He suddenly understood a little why His Highness liked such a little eunuch.

……

The palace is very lively.

Yi Concubine is nearly five months pregnant, and she is a little pregnant, but she is like seven or eight months, leaning on the soft cushion, holding the handkerchief, caressing the slightly bulging belly one by one, and looking at these palace sisters who came to her palace to see her with a smile, all of whom are inferior to her, or who are of the same rank as her but not as favored as her, and they all come to please her.

Not only because she is pregnant with a dragon son, as long as she successfully retains the position of the prince, she can be promoted again, and she is a person of Zhou Guifei, in this harem, there is no background and no backer, either she will be silent all her life, or she will be killed, there are so many women in the harem, and there are a few people who can get pregnant and give birth to children smoothly.

If she hadn't entered Zhou Guifei's eyes early and helped her do a lot of things that satisfied the other party, how could she still be safely raising a baby here, of course, she also knew that Zhou Guifei would not really be good to her, so she would have to give birth to the child in her womb.

She looked at the smiling faces in front of her with hypocritical flattery, and there was a faint sarcastic smile hidden in the corners of her mouth.

At this time, two palace maids came in with snacks, all of which were loved by the pregnant concubine, and after the imperial dining room was instructed, they specially made them for her.

She proudly waved her hand to the sisters in the house: "Let's try it, this pastry is made by the imperial chef, and it tastes very good." ”

One of the women in the same concubine had a flash of unwillingness in her eyes, but she praised with a smile: "That is, only when you come to Sister Yi's side can you eat such delicious things, we don't have this blessing." ”

"Everyone is a sister, don't be polite to me." Yi Concubine smiled and let everyone take care of herself, and then saw that one of the palace maids who sent the pastries was still standing at the table and not moving, she blocked everyone in this way, which palace maid would be so rude, which made Yi Concubine feel very shameless, she pulled down her face and scolded, "What are you doing standing here, why don't you get out of here?" ”

Another palace maid hurriedly went to pull the palace maid, pulled twice and couldn't move, anxiously wanted to exert a little more effort, and didn't dare to think about how they would die when Yi Concubine Niangniang got angry.

Just as she tugged hard, the palace maid finally moved, or rather, the palace maid twitched without warning, and spit out a large mouthful of white liquid from her mouth, spraying on the plates of pastries, the yellow and white liquid like foam, sprinkled on the pastries, and there were disgusting bubbles.

"Bastard!"

Yi Concubine trembled with anger, patted the table and stood up, and raised her other hand to fan the palace maid.

With a crisp slap, the palace maid was beaten to the ground all of a sudden, if it weren't for the fetus in her belly, Yi Concubine couldn't wait to step forward and kick her feet again.

The palace maid beside her actually did such a rude thing, so many sisters in the palace watched, everyone waited to see her joke, who knew what the others didn't do, and her own palace maid would embarrass her first.

In the deep courtyard of the palace, women with weak minds must have mental illness, and usually have nowhere to vent, and the unlucky ones are the palace people who serve them, she pointed to the palace maids who fell to the ground and did not move, and shouted to other palace people: "Drag her up for the palace and slap her with a hundred mouths." ”

The palace people went over and wanted to pull the palace maid up, but who knew that before they touched it, the palace maid suddenly convulsed, like a sheep going crazy, lying on the ground and shaking and trembling, and the arc was quite large.

"Ouch, this can't be some strange disease, right?"

Several concubines stood up and stepped back, away from the palace maid, and one of the concubines covered her mouth with a handkerchief: "Do you say that there are any infectious diseases recently?" It's not contagious, is it? ”

"Well, that's a shame."

Yi Concubine was so angry that she trembled, and she insisted that she turn the palace maid over, and when she really turned it over, she would ...... Even a few palace people were so frightened that they retreated again and again.

I saw that the palace maid's skin was blue-black, her eyes were open, her eyeballs were turned up, her mouth was still bubbling with white liquid, her limbs were cramped and curled, and her blue-black skin also had black spots, and the spots looked like they were beginning to rot from the inside.

It looked particularly scary, Yi Concubine herself was startled, her face turned pale, and her handkerchief was also covering her mouth and wanted to spit it out, she reacted with her hand, covering her mouth for fear of running into something dirty, while shouting: "What are you doing in a daze, carry her away!" ”

"What's going on?" The concubine waved her handkerchief, as if to shake away the unclean things in the air.

Yi Concubine smiled awkwardly: "I guess there is some kind of illness, what's the matter with this internal affairs department, everyone will send it to the palace," she stroked her stomach, "In case the children in the belly of the palace have any three long and two short, the palace will go to them to settle the account." ”

The other concubines also smiled awkwardly, and when someone first proposed to say goodbye first, others also said that they wanted to leave, and after a while, only Yi Concubine and the palace maid waiting next to the originally lively room remained.

Yi Concubine was so angry that she dropped everything she could reach: "That slut just now, go and tear her mouth for the palace!" ”

"But mother, she's ......"

"Huh?" Yi Concubine glared viciously at the palace maid who wanted to ask for love, the palace maid shrank in fright, didn't dare to say anything, bowed her head and went out to give orders, she could only pray in her heart that her sisters could be auspicious.

At night, Concubine Yi drank all kinds of supplements and walked to the side of the bed very carefully, for fear that it would affect the fetus in her belly, and the palace maid supported her, not daring to make any mistakes.

After Yi Concubine sat on the edge of the bed, she felt that the back of the hand she was holding was not quite right, she looked down and saw that there were black spots on the back of the hand of the palace maid who helped her, and the spots were about the size of a copper coin, which looked like they were rotting out of the flesh, and they were clearly the same as the palace maid who was inexplicably "crazy with sheep" today.

"Ahh ”

The palace people rushed in, and Yi Concubine pointed at the palace maid and shouted: "Quick, drag her out quickly, kill with a cane, kill with a cane!" ”

The palace maid looked scared, even confused, after Yi Concubine shook off her hand, she also saw the black spots on the back of her hand, but even she didn't notice where the spots on her body came from.

She begged the maid to bypass her, after all, she had been serving her for so long, but when Concubine Yi thought of the situation of the palace maid during the day, her heart was disgusted, and she refused to see the palace maid who had served her for many years, and waved her hand to let her take her down quickly.

When everyone left, Yi Concubine breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that she had been very unhappy all day today.

Yawned, Yi Concubine didn't care about the life or death of one or two palace maids, she rolled over after lying down, and closed her eyes...... After two breaths, she opened it suddenly, and saw that she was pillowed on her face's arm, and there was a black spot like the palace maid just now!

……

The palace is about to fall into chaos.

It has been nearly seven or eight days since the prince said that the crown prince had a dream and that a plague god had descended, and even the rumors that were unfavorable to the prince had subsided a little, and nothing happened.

Half of them were already deadβ€”not from illness, but from the terrible attack that they were killed by their masters.

At first, the palace masters who discovered this matter still wanted to hide it, but when they found out that the people close to them, even themselves, seemed to be infected with this strange disease, when there were people in the emperor's temple, the queen mother's Fengning Palace, Concubine De's Buddhist hall, etc., there were people who were sick, and this matter could no longer be hidden.

The emperor immediately arrested all the people who were ill and sent the imperial doctor to see him, so as to find a way to treat him as soon as possible.

The doctor found that as long as there are more black spots on the body, it is sick, this kind of plague-like disease, is temporarily called black madness, once it is found that there are black spots, it is infected, the sick person looks a bit similar to sheep epilepsy at first glance, but their skin will be blue and black, the dark spots will become bigger and bigger, the signs of decay and seriousness, people's consciousness is also blurred, and finally die of internal organs being involved.

Those with dark spots do not necessarily have the onset of the disease, and once the disease occurs, it will take about six to ten days to die, and it is almost tortured to death, which is not as pleasant as the kind of death in one or two days.

The most important thing is that once the disease occurs, the infection is extremely fast!

Without waiting for the doctors to find a way to treat them, they found that some doctors were infected, and more people were found to have dark spots, and the speed of infection was amazing, and I don't know how it was infected.

At this time, someone shouted, it must be the plague from the East Palace!

But after some searching, the entire East Palace was clean.

Yes, it's very clean, there is no problem with food, even people, from the outbreak of black madness, there is only no one in the East Palace, and there are no dark spots on the body.

Someone else said, why is there nothing wrong with the East Palace, either this plague is caused by the East Palace, or the East Palace must have an antidote, and the East Palace must hand over the antidote.

At the moment of life and death, if someone instigates him again, someone will dare to come to the door with the boldness, and then, all of them will be ruthlessly beaten out by Fan Shenxi, and if they dare to come a second time, they will be directly executed for the crime of murdering the prince, whether it is a concubine, a prince, or an official.

After doing this a few times, everyone is afraid.

After the shock, the prince released his words, and to sum up, it is the following two points:

1. I told you a long time ago that there may be unclean things in the palace, as long as you do an inspection as soon as possible, you can take precautions, you don't listen to it or believe it, who is to blame for the infection now? The reason why the East Palace is still safe and sound is that the East Palace has taken precautions against the minions regardless of dignity before, and all corners of the entire East Palace have been sprayed with preventive potions.

That is to say, no matter whether the pathogen is the transmission of air or water, Donggong will solve it before there is a little problem, and you, when the air or water source is poisonous, and then you want to clean it up, where will the preventive medicine still work?

Second, if the East Palace is the source, will it stupidly come out and tell everyone?

After that, Donggong handed over the medicine they used for disinfection and prevention, and the result was ...... The result, of course, was useless.

The infection continues to be infected, the disease continues to occur, and the number of people is increasing, and at that time, the people who still want to go against the prince no longer have that effort.

The emperor knew that there was no way to delay it any longer, otherwise the entire palace would get rid of more than half of the people, so he immediately ordered that all the black crazy patients should be locked up in a desolate village outside the palace, and all the black crazy patients would be burned to death with a fire.

But he soon discovered that there was also his concubine who was pregnant with a fetus who had black madness.

In recent days, he has actually been so busy that he doesn't have time to care about Yi Concubine, but on weekdays, he will care more about her who is pregnant, which will not even remember who she is, or usually have a good relationship with Yi Concubine and think that she is a concubine and secretly inform.

After Yi Concubine knew that she also had black madness, she closed her door on the grounds that she was pregnant, and no one saw her, and in her own palace, she also wrapped herself like a zongzi all day long, and the reason why the concubine who told the secret knew that it was the palace maid next to Yi Concubine, in order to avenge her sister, after discovering that Yi Concubine was abnormal, she told other concubines.

The emperor only hesitated for a moment, and then ordered that Yi Concubine should also be sent to the village courtyard where the fire was ready to be set on fire, which was not wanted by women and children.

Yi Concubine couldn't believe it, a few days ago, she was still glorious, and many people scolded her and flattered her, as long as the child was born, even if it was Zhou Guifei, she didn't dare to do anything to her.

But she didn't expect that the emperor would execute her and the child so easily.

She wanted to see the emperor, wanted to see Concubine Zhou, and wanted to ask them to spare herself, but how could they meet a person who had an infectious disease and was pregnant with a dragon son? does not exist, the emperor already has several children, not one who has not yet been born.

The heavenly family is ruthless, and Yi Concubine can be regarded as really understanding it, but she is also treated as a virus and ruthlessly driven away, no different from those low-level palace maids and eunuchs.

At the same time, there is also the mother of the eighth prince, the concubine of the lady......
