Chapter 81: Smallpox
In the blink of an eye, it was already March, everything was restored, and the entire Bauhinia City had become vibrant.
But somehow, the eighth elder brother became ill at this time, and Taiyi came to a conclusion after diagnosis and treatment, that is, the eighth elder brother had smallpox.
In modern times, smallpox has already been conquered, but in the Qing Dynasty this is the most terrible plague, it is understood that the Shunzhi Emperor died of smallpox, and the Holy Ancestor Emperor almost died of smallpox, not to mention those princes and princesses who died early because of smallpox, so as soon as this news came out, the entire palace exploded.
Strange to say, there was an outbreak of smallpox in the south a few years ago, but now that it is almost over, how can it spread to the palace?
Because smallpox spreads very quickly, everyone in the palace is in danger, and those princes and ministers of the previous dynasty even proposed to send the eighth elder brother outside the palace to recuperate, so as to prevent disasters from affecting the entire palace.
Yongzheng has always cherished the eighth elder brother, so he disagreed, so no matter how the princes and ministers objected, he insisted on leaving the eighth elder brother in the Qianqing Palace, but he asked people to temporarily seal the Qianqing Palace, and he moved to the Jingren Palace next to it.
"Why are our eighth elder brothers so miserable?" Aunt Yun looked at the eighth elder brother lying on the bed, and couldn't help crying, Mu Yao was also anxious, although she studied medicine in modern times, but the disease of smallpox has long been gone, so she doesn't know very well.
"It's okay, the Eight Goji people have their own natural appearance, and they will be fine." While comforting Aunt Yun, Mu Yao changed the wet towel on the head of the eighth elder brother.
"Auntie, Eighth Brother's medicine is here." Yu Dai brought in the boiled water of the herb, Mu Yao only remembered that when he was in school, the teacher said that Kangxi had smallpox back then, and he was cured by drinking this herb water. But the most important thing is that it has something to do with Kangxi's personal physique.
The water was very unpleasant, and the eighth elder brother only tasted a small sip, and then spit it out, and Aunt Yun immediately said anxiously, "Eighth elder brother, you have to drink it quickly, so that the disease can be cured." ”
Mu Yao saw it in her eyes, but it didn't help, all she could do was to try to alleviate the superficial symptoms of the eighth elder brother, and as for the fight against the virus, she could only leave it to the eighth elder brother himself.
After two days and two nights of hard work, Brother Ba's body temperature finally dropped.
Just when everyone was cheering and happy for the eighth elder brother, something happened to Mama Li.
Early in the morning, I found out that the night before, Mama Li hanged herself in the room.
After the inspection, it was found that Mama Li had also given birth to smallpox, and the entire Qianqing Palace was even more panicked, but the most shocking thing was the suicide note left by Mama Li!
Because this suicide note was so important, everyone did not dare to make a decision, so they immediately went to the saint.
Yongzheng is worried about the matter of the eighth elder brother at the moment, he doesn't have many heirs, why does God still treat him like this, is it because he once killed each other for the throne, and God is punishing him?
The queen was on the side, seeing the pain in her eyes, she comforted Yongzheng and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry too much, the eighth elder brother has a long blessing, and it will be fine!" ”
"Isn't our Honghui a blessing?" Yongzheng asked rhetorically, the queen said, her son is the eldest son, how noble his identity is, and he only lived for eight years.
Thinking of this, the queen couldn't stop hiding her face and crying, since Honghui passed away, the queen was so grief-stricken that she couldn't give birth anymore.
