Chapter 245: The Solution to the Epidemic (5)
But the so-called people die for money, birds die for food, those palace maids who originally said that it was absolutely impossible to obey easily, after getting the queen's "golden hundred taels" and the guarantee of freedom to leave the palace, they all wavered.
There were four or five palace maids living in a palace maid's house, and one of them was on the end of Ai Ai's mouth, "Sister Ajuan, what do you think about this matter?" ”
This Ajuan is the one who confronted Wan Concubine on the first day.
She has always had the most her own ideas, even at this juncture, the little palace maids still looked at her with blank eyes, as if they were waiting for her to give an answer that satisfied everyone.
Everyone still believes in her.
In fact, Ajuan was also a little shaken at this time.
After all, you said, you listen to the attraction of a hundred taels of gold, who can bear it, but she is now vaguely the head of so many people, and they all want to call her a "sister", if she shows a special love for money at this time, this will make these people think that what she is doing is asking for money, but they don't believe her so much.
At this point, Ajuan is still relatively smart.
She pondered, then looked at them, "What about you? What do you think? ”
Each little palace maid is you look at me, I look at yours, one or two are like headless flies, they don't have their own ideas at all, they just want to wait for this Ajuan to come up with an idea.
In fact, they didn't want to quit at all from the beginning, the servility in their bones, for so many years, it has always been like this, and they are used to it.
The master beats and scolds them, and he always only dares to beg for mercy, and he doesn't dare to have anything to do with them.
Even if the master asked them to stay here to serve the princess who had the plague, although they were dissatisfied and even very scared, they never thought of resisting, they just thought about ...... His own life is bitter.
In the end, it was Ajuan who was beaten and scolded before, and she stood up and resisted first, so there was such a show.
So it was Ajuan who stood up first, whether everything here was going to return to the original place, they were all waiting for Ajuan's meaning.
Ajuan said, "Originally, I thought that I was too reckless in all this. ”
One by one, the palace maids hurriedly said, "Where is this, in the end, Sister Ajuan is protecting us, we all know, if it weren't for the fact that a sister and sister also fell ill a few days ago, Sister Ajuan would definitely not say such a thing." ”
"Yes, what kind of character Sister Ajuan is, can we still not know?"
"In the end, it is indeed too much for the concubine to speak today, isn't our life our life?"
"Yes, Sister Ajuan is speaking for us."
Ajuan sighed and shook her head again, "Actually, I thought about it carefully, we don't do anything, or there will be no real people in the palace of Her Royal Highness the Sixth Princess, then we may really be able to let them know, we are not useless, but then, what can we do?" ”
Everyone was silent.
There was also a younger palace maid who said, "What does my sister mean...... What can we do? ”
"yes." Ajuan's eyes lit up, and she glanced at her appreciatively, "What can we do, let's not say that we won't give us food or water, and I don't know how long we can really hold on, in case, one of us has a plague." ”
It's hard for anyone to say, getting the plague is not something that can be seen in an instant.
At least the palace maid who fell before was even fine when she ate at night, but suddenly it was not good at night.
Fortunately, at this time, it was not said that it should be given up directly, but that it should be used for healing.
In fact, the reason is very simple, it's not that they pity the life of the palace maid or something, you must know that the life of the palace maid is not even called life, but the reason why she stayed for treatment is because of a lot of medicine, the imperial doctor does not dare to use it directly on the princess.
After all, even if the princess is not favored, it is also the body of a thousand gold, the body of ten thousand gold, there are some fierce medicines, who dares to try it easily, if something goes wrong, who can afford it.
Therefore, it is inevitable that the imperial doctors are a little constrained.
But if this falls down a palace maid, things will be much easier, and the medicine that you dare not use will be tried on the palace maid!
In fact, these palace maids know that these things are not so much about treatment, but as testing medicines.
But so what? Compared to saying that he was sick in this house, and then gradually died, and finally died, he tried the medicine for the imperial doctor, and maybe there was a chance to fight for a glimmer of life.
Isn't that how this life is earned?
Ajuan said, "So, I thought about it, and I was worried that there would be no chance for us to regret it, but at this moment, just because I wanted to fall asleep, someone sent a pillow, so why don't we do it?" ”
"And there's gold!" It was the little palace maid who spoke.
Her eyes glowed when she spoke of gold.
Who doesn't have a heart for gold?
Ajuan smiled, and then said, "Yes, it's not just gold, we also have freedom." It's the same as if there is gold in the palace, and we are still slaves in the end, but when we have so much gold and can go out, we can buy ourselves a big mansion for ourselves, and then fake a good husband. ”
Speaking of which, all of them had slightly hot eyes, a little blushing, and they were whispering, "I'm so old, I don't know if I can ...... when I go out."
There are many women in ancient times who married at the age of seventeen or eighteen, more than twenty, and that is the old girl in everyone's mouth.
And these palace maids have been in the deep palace for more than ten years, and there are more than 20 palace maids in this room, including Ajuan.
More and more, they feel that this is their only chance right now.
"Look at what you said, if you have money, so much money, and such a rich marriage, I'm afraid that some official ladies are not as good as you, at that time, are you afraid of not having a wishful husband?"
The palace maid laughed again, "Yes, that's right! I can also go back and see my mom and dad, my brother...... We haven't seen each other in years......"
Everyone has longing and expectation in their hearts, and Ajuan made the final decision, "Okay, since that's the case, then let's continue to work, and we must work hard to make the sixth princess better, at least in this way, we can get out alive." ”
"Yes! We're in this together! ”
"We're all in this together!"
This "work stoppage" turmoil was subsided.
When the emperor learned the news, he appreciated what the queen did this time.
In the end, the queen has also been in charge of the harem for many years, and it is inevitable that there will still be some means in her hands.
This kind of thing is naturally based on Huairou.
After all, if you stimulate those palace maids again, I don't know how they will react.
And for rewards such as a hundred taels of gold, the emperor did not take it to heart.
Because if this plague can really be calmed down, it will be more than a hundred taels of gold, but if it can't be calmed down, of course these palace maids will not be able to get these rewards.
Speaking of which, the emperor didn't take the lives of these palace maids seriously in his heart, he even felt that these people were close to serving the six princesses, if these people were not infected, then this plague would not be so serious.
It's just unfortunate that the day after the emperor just thought like this, two more palace maids fell.
Now in the palace of Her Royal Highness the Sixth Princess, there are fewer and fewer palace maids left.
No matter what method the imperial doctor used, it didn't seem to be effective, and seeing it, this palace was about to be unable to be defended.
Lu Cheng persuaded again, "Your Majesty, let's go to the palace for a while now." ”
In fact, Lu Cheng also wants to say that this hero doesn't suffer immediate losses.
What's the use of you staying in the palace? At that time, if His Majesty is infected with the plague, this Chen country will not be in danger.
But Lu Cheng can't say these words, which is too alarmist to say.
But Lu Cheng was really uneasy, he had lived for so many years, and he had never seen the plague in the palace.
The Emperor just frowned, and then said nothing.
If the emperor can go, he can take a few people away at most, such as the queen, no, the queen can't go.
Because no matter what you say in this harem, there must be a person in charge.
The queen who commands the harem, since she has this responsibility, she is not allowed to escape like this.
At least the empress and the emperor were going to keep one person down.
The emperor could take who he wanted to take, and he thought about it first.
But Chi Chi's current body, let alone leaving the palace, I'm afraid that it will be enough to toss out of her Jinyang Palace's bedroom, and she can't move at all.
The emperor thought about it, and if he really wanted to leave, he could only go by himself.
People who can sit on the emperor's seat have always been loveless, and naturally they will not be sad just thinking that they are alone, and the emperor is hesitating, he is hesitating the gossip of the people.
If you say that the emperor abandoned his wife and children...... Then no emperor can bear it.
At this time, Lu Cheng went out and came back, and then said, "Your Majesty, Cao Ting is getting better." ”
The emperor let go of what he had in his heart, and then breathed a sigh of relief, "Call him in." ”
Ji Jia is not here, and now most of the affairs in Beijing are still handed over to Cao Tingyue to handle.
"The minion has seen Your Majesty."
"Well, what's going on with the plague?" The emperor didn't believe that it was an accident, and there could be plague in this palace for no reason.
But he really didn't think that he was going to the sixth princess, after all, sitting on the dragon chair, of course, he had to be vigilant at all times, so the emperor thought that this villain should be coming for himself.
Thinking so, he asked Cao Tingyue to investigate.
The efficiency of the East Factory is very fast, and since this Cao Tingyue is a saint, he already has the answer.
"Back to Your Majesty's words, it is indeed an eyebrow."
