Chapter 191: Caught in the Cold
The winter snow was raging, and it snowed heavily for three days and three nights, and the snow was deep enough to bury the calf. The Old Summer Palace is not like the Forbidden City, which is paved with dragons, and it has to be warm like spring when red charcoal is lit every day.
Hundreds of kilograms of charcoal from the fire department were continuously transported into the garden, but they were still in short supply, and the internal affairs government deducted the degree, and it was not uncommon to see people serving dishes.
Especially Concubine Shu, who was demoted, relied on the merits of her mother's family in the past, and she was used to extravagance in food and clothing. Now that the number of charcoal cases has been suddenly reduced, it is inevitable that it will be overstretched and depressed everywhere.
Fortunately, there are ten elder brothers by his side, no matter how much he cuts it, the Internal Affairs Office will not dare to snub the little elder brother.
So, Concubine Shu took the tenth elder brother to her dormitory, ate and lived together, and the charcoal fire could also save a lot.
Brother Ten was less than two years old, and suddenly changed the environment, alternating between hot and cold, and within two or three days, he contracted a cold and occasionally coughed.
Shu Concubine summoned Huang Bin from Tai Hospital to come to see her, and after Huang Bin's diagnosis and treatment, she replied: "Shu Concubine Niangniang, rest assured, Brother Shi's symptoms are mild, and he will be cured after taking medicine for a few days." ”
Saying this, Shu Concubine relieved Baguio to send Huang Bin away.
When Baguio returned, he saw Brother Shi's red fluttering little face raised, nestled in Concubine Shu's arms playing with cloth balls, and shouted with a smile: "Eniang." ”
Shu Concubine had a calm face, swept a box of rouge gouache on the desk to the ground, and said angrily: "Those dog eyes from the Internal Affairs Office, sending these inferior things in, are they sure that the palace will not turn over?" ”
Brother Ten was taken aback, and he burst into tears.
Baguio took the tenth elder brother into his arms and coaxed him, before saying, "Niangniang, don't be angry with them." Niangniang, you are just a moment of frustration, you have ten elder brothers, there is always a chance to come out. ”
When Concubine Shu listened, she was slightly relieved and summoned the tenth elder brother to play under her knees.
Baguio cleaned up the mess on the ground, went to the small dining room to get the decoction of the medicine, and sent it to the Shu Concubine's dormitory.
After all, Brother Ten is young, and he is willing to drink such a bitter medicine. In the past, when she was sick, she relied on the nurse to coax and feed it drop by bit, but Shu Concubine didn't have the patience and simply poured all the medicine into the urn.
Baguio said suspiciously: "Niangniang, you are ......"
Shu Concubine smiled faintly and said, "You're right, the tenth elder brother is the bargaining chip of the palace, no matter how he is not treated by the emperor, he is his own son after all." The palace believes that if the emperor knows that the tenth elder brother is sick, he will definitely come to visit. At that time, the palace saw the holy driver, and it was naturally expected to restore the concubine position. ”
Baguio had a little worry on his face and said, "But...... Niangniang, you poured the medicine of the tenth elder brother, how can the tenth elder brother's cough be cured? ”
Concubine Shu said calmly: "Didn't Imperial Doctor Huang say that the tenth elder brother is just a small wind and cold, and it is not a serious illness. It's just a day or two less medicine, I think Brother Ten is in good spirits, and he will be fine. ”
Since Concubine Shu said so, Baguio didn't dare to refute anymore, and called the nurse to come in and coax the tenth elder brother to sleep.
But late at night the next day, Brother Ten suddenly developed a high fever, which made his whole body hot, his limbs kicked and stared restlessly, and he kept dreaming with his eyes closed.
At this time, Concubine Shu panicked and hurriedly asked people to go to Tai Hospital to ask Huang Bin to come back for treatment.
In the Old Summer Palace, the concubines' bedrooms were already one courtyard after another, and Shu Concubine's movements this night woke up the entire garden.
When Concubine Chun heard that the tenth elder brother was sick, she couldn't help frowning and complained to Honglian: "I saw the tenth elder brother playing in the garden during the day, why did he get sick?" In the middle of the night, what kind of bitter trick did Concubine Shu play, and let people not sleep? ”
