Chapter 236: The Plague (1)
The emperor frowned, "Has the palace been sealed?" ”
Lu Cheng said, "This must be to seal the palace, the imperial doctor immediately sealed the palace as soon as it was diagnosed as an epidemic, but it was ...... It just so happened that Concubine Wan Niangniang was also inside, thinking that she wanted to take care of Her Royal Highness the Sixth Princess. ”
"It doesn't matter who is inside, it's the same, since it's a plague, it should be as the imperial doctor said, seal the palace immediately."
The emperor turned his head and glanced at the huge mansion, although it was indeed a bit cruel to ask the queen to go back to deal with the affairs of the harem at this time.
After all, she had just lost her father.
But she is a queen, and many times, instead of saying that she can do whatever she wants, she won't do what she doesn't want to do, and the responsibility on her shoulders prompts her to do these things.
The Emperor sighed.
Originally, he could have asked Lu Cheng to go in and talk to the queen, and then ask the queen to return to the palace, but even if the emperor was hard-hearted, he felt that it seemed inappropriate to say this now.
He thought about it, and then went in himself, and then said, "The queen and mother-in-law should not be too sad, this dead person is gone, and the living should take care." ”
Where did the husband dare to call the emperor to persuade him, he could only wipe his tears, and then said, "Your Majesty has seen the joke." ”
The emperor shook his head, "My father-in-law suddenly changed, and I am also very sad about this matter, I just hope that my mother-in-law can take good care of herself at this time and not hurt her body." ”
- Sudden change, as if it was very unintentional, as if everything was accidental.
But neither the queen nor the husband of the country thought that this was an accident.
They believe that there should be other articles behind this.
The queen became more and more angry, and only thought that if she knew, who would dare to calculate her father's life like this, she would not let it go easily.
The emperor glanced at the empress.
Speaking of which, the queen has served the emperor for many years, so she can't see it at all.
Since Lu Cheng asked the emperor to go out just now, in fact, the queen has already understood very well, but I am afraid that there is already an accident in the palace at this time.
And this matter, I'm afraid that both of them will have to go back to deal with it.
The emperor didn't want to make her uncomfortable at this time, so he came in again by himself.
But after going to see her again and again, can this queen still not understand what the emperor means?
The queen stood up and said to her husband, "Mother, my daughter and Your Majesty have been out of the palace for some time, and there are complicated things in this harem, I am afraid that I will have to wait for my daughter to go back to deal with it, this is ......."
The husband of the country hurriedly said, "Niangniang is a matter of the harem, don't worry about this mother, just go." ”
She looked at the emperor again, "Your Majesty can come in person, it is already a great honor, I want to come to this Huangquan Road, master, you can also walk steadily." ”
The emperor shook his head and said again, "Mother-in-law's Day mourning." ”
In fact, it is enough to get here, after all, the emperor is like this, and it can be regarded as giving the princess and the queen a full face.
As for what else, naturally don't want it anymore.
The queen followed the emperor back to the palace, and on the way she asked the maid with her, "What happened, why did you want to go back to the palace in such a hurry." ”
The queen and the emperor are naturally not in the same sedan chair, and the maid beside the queen has naturally inquired about the matter from Lu Cheng.
If she can inquire from Lu Cheng, it is naturally what Lu Chengken asked her to know, that is, the emperor's instructions.
"Back to Niangniang's words, in the palace of Her Royal Highness the Sixth Princess, there is a plague."
The queen sat up straight suddenly, "What did you say?" ”
"This matter was completely in the past, and it was said by the eldest companion himself. He also said that it was originally winter, and it was really unusual for the plague to appear, but I was afraid that something was wrong, so His Majesty hurriedly returned to the palace. And the harem has always been the mother's master, so His Majesty wants to ask the mother to go back together. ”
The queen frowned, "What's the situation now?" ”
"The imperial doctor has already said that the palace will be closed, and now in the palace of the sixth princess, there is no way to enter or exit. By the way, Niangniang, Concubine Niangniang is still inside. ”
"Concubine." The queen sneered, "What kind of thing is that, if the plague spreads in the palace, even if she has ten heads, it will not be enough for her, and now that she is inside, accompanying her daughter to die, it should be regarded as thanking the lord Longen." ”
The little maid didn't dare to say anything.
Mama Li was originally listening to it from the sidelines, but after thinking about it now, she said, "What does Niang Niang plan to do with Her Royal Highness the Sixth Princess?" ”
"It's usually like this, if it's serious, it will be burned directly, even if it's a princess, the dragon body is in the palace, if it endangers Your Majesty, it's not enough to break the bones and scatter ashes, how can it be another matter because it's a princess."
Mama Li nodded, "Niangniang's words are very true, but this should not be said by Niangniang." ”
The queen looked at her dissatisfied, "This palace is the lord of the six palaces, and the trivial matters of the harem are all counted after the palace says it, in this case, if it is not the palace, who will say it?" ”
Mama Li shook her head, "Niangniang, have you forgotten why you were reprimanded by His Majesty before?" ”
She was not happy when she mentioned this queen, she had been reprimanded by the emperor several times in the past month, but she didn't know what Mama Li was talking about.
Mama Li said, "About Her Royal Highness the Fifth Princess......
The queen remembered that the emperor said that she was not lenient enough with other people's daughters, and felt that she was not equal enough, so he was angry with her.
So...... The queen kind of understood what Mama Li meant.
Mama Li said, "That's right, naturally there will be people who come to His Majesty to speak, or people who are afraid of death in the harem, or so-called officials." But it should definitely not be said by the mother, and not only should the mother say it, but even when the mother heard this, she persuaded it because she opened her mouth. ”
The queen looked at her, "What do you mean, Mama?" Could it be that this person's plague is so serious, and this palace still has to intercede for her? ”
"Niangniang, you are sad and confused, think about it, is your plea useful? If Her Royal Highness the Sixth Princess is really out of luck, it should be time to stab to death, think about it, what is the use of pleading again? ”
The queen's contemplation is indeed useless.
"Niangniang pleaded with Her Royal Highness the Sixth Princess, just to show her benevolence. Niangniang is the mother of the country and the mother of the world, Your Majesty must ask Niangniang to put herself in her shoes and think about what to do if it is Princess Jiahe who is sick now. ”
"You don't want to talk nonsense!" The queen's eyelids jumped, now Jiahe was not by the queen's side, what is going on now, the queen doesn't know, so she never lets people say this kind of unlucky words.
Mama Li is as good as a stream, the queen doesn't like to listen to it, so she doesn't say it, just said, "Since Niangniang knows what kind of reaction it should be, then at that time, it should be that reaction, but it can't be too much, if Niangniang shows too sincere feelings." These six princesses are not the princesses born to Niangniang, Your Majesty will definitely think that Niangniang is suspected of acting, and we will fall short at that time. ”
The queen nodded, "What you mean, I see." ”
In short, the emperor has to feel that the queen has changed, and he will take care of every prince and princess in the harem.
The queen thought to herself, although she was reluctant to act in this kind of play, but if this could make the emperor feel satisfied, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it.
But there was a vague feeling of joy in her heart.
Because every plague is bound to cause a large number of people to die.
And as soon as her father left, these people happened to bury her father.
When the time comes, the city is full of manuscripts, and it happens to be mourning for her father.
As for whether the others were innocent or not - sorry, this is not something that the high-ranking queen needs to consider.
The empress and the emperor hurried back to the palace, and on the way, the emperor received another piece of news.
But the news has not yet reached the Queen.
"Your Majesty, something happened to Her Royal Highness the Fifth Princess."
The emperor's brows furrowed, "It's also a plague?" ”
Lu Cheng shook his head, "It's not, it's just that Her Royal Highness the Fifth Princess, for some reason, has suddenly had violent convulsions all over her body since this morning, often accompanied by suffocation symptoms, Imperial Doctor Zheng has been guarding Jinyang Palace all day, and he hasn't escaped yet." ”
The emperor's expression became more and more ugly, "But what is the reason?" Was she having a chronic illness? ”
The emperor said to himself, "No, even if she was in poor health in the past, she didn't seem to have such serious symptoms." ”
Lu Cheng nodded, "Imperial Physician Zheng replied, I'm afraid it's not a problem of chronic illness...... Although the imperial doctor didn't dare to say it explicitly, it seemed that it was caused by eating unclean things. ”
The emperor understood, this means that someone poisoned it.
He slammed the coffee table in the sedan chair, "Presumptuous." ”
"Your Majesty forgives your sins!"
The emperor was not in a good mood, and this is approaching the end of the year, and there are still such things repeatedly.
On the one hand, there is a plague, and if it spreads, I am afraid that it will cause a storm all over the city, and no one will dare to go out easily.
On the other hand, the princess he likes has been poisoned.
The emperor only felt that others were targeting him.
He let out a sigh, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he frowned fiercely.
Seeing that he was about to arrive at the palace gate, Lu Cheng bowed down and asked, "Your Majesty, then let's go first......
Should I go to Her Royal Highness the Sixth Princess first to see what is going on with the plague now, or should I go to Her Royal Highness the Fifth Princess first to take a look?
Or is it that he just went to the Heart Cultivation Hall to convene people to discuss the matter?
The emperor thought for a moment and said, "Go to Jinyang Palace." ”
In any case, it should be a plague.
But the emperor chose to go to Jinyang Palace first.
Lu Cheng also understood that the most favored princess in the palace at the moment was already Her Royal Highness the Fifth Princess.
It's really amazing, in less than a year, it has come to this point, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it has completely turned over.
He lowered his eyes and covered all his emotions, "Yes, the slave knows." ”
Then he lifted the curtain and said, "Drive Jinyang Palace." ”
After all, what he should do in the future, he knows in his heart, that is.
