"Ridiculous!" Shangguan Li was furious. Through the oppressive heavy curtains, she could vaguely see the small body like bean sprouts lying inside, and there was a medical woman who kept wiping her body and feeding her medicine, but the baby girl did not respond at all, not even the cry of an ordinary baby.

Shangguan Li has always regarded Yuan Rong as "an extra mouth to eat in the palace", and he will only do his duty for the sake of the queen's decency. However, Yuan Rong's mother, Queen Xiao, has been on good terms with her for a long time, and now that she is the successor, if Yuan Rong has a mistake, the first person to ask others will be her.

Shangguan Li's ideal is to let Yuan Rong grow up safely and send a dowry to marry out at will.

She knew that Yuan Rong was born prematurely and was frail, so she and the queen mother assigned many medical women to serve, and also rewarded her two personal mothers to the emperor, so that they could report the emperor's condition every day. She didn't want Yuan Rong to have the slightest accident.

However, it was a coincidence today that the Queen Mother went to Mingjue Temple to pray for blessings as usual due to the draft, and blessed the Great Qin royal family. There was also a death in the middle of the show girl, and Shangguan Li had to hurry to Chaohua Hall, and Changle Palace was opened.

What is Yuan Rong dying under her nose? The ruthless stepmother refuses to take care of the original young daughter? Her phoenix seat is already unstable, if she has such a hard handle, even if she is the daughter of General Shangguan, those courtiers will be able to bear it together!

"Goryeo, it's just a feudal country!" Shangguan Li glanced at everyone coldly, raised his hand and ordered the attendants behind him to go to Jianzhang Palace to invite the emperor: "Yuanrong's status is precious, why can't the emperor leave his envoys to visit?" ”

Although everyone was afraid that the emperor would blame them, they didn't dare to disobey the queen, so someone hurriedly ran out. Shangguan Li took a sip of cold tea to suppress his emotions and beckoned a medical girl to ask carefully.

The medical women in Changle Palace are all one in a million, and the Chen medical woman in front of her is nearly half a hundred years old, and the official is up to six grades, if it weren't for being a woman, she would have become a national imperial doctor. Needless to say, Doctor Chen's medical skills are exquisite, but at this time, she has lost her former temperament, and she replied with cold sweat on her forehead: "Niangniang, the emperor is suffering from the cold...... Niangniang, you know, the emperor was born prematurely, and her health has not been very good, and the queen mother personally selected a competent nurse to take care of her, and she is meticulous and thoughtful. But it's noon today...... The two nurses who took care of the emperor took a nap......"

"Someone dares to neglect their duties and snub the emperor?!" Shangguan Li was furious. Doctor Chen kowtowed, and said, "Niangniang, the brazier beside Emperor Ji has somehow been extinguished!" It was cold in February, and Emperor Ji was frozen......"

The two napping nurses had already been tied up by Zhiying, Shangguan Li looked at Yuan Rong who was burned unconscious, and just wanted to cure her, and he didn't have the heart to interrogate her for a while. She didn't care about taboos, lifted the bed tent and took a look, clenched her sleeves with both hands and said, "Is it just frozen?" ”

"The mother is aware of everything." Doctor Chen sighed: "If you just get a cold, it won't be so serious, but ...... The emperor's illness was menacing, and the slaves thought it was an epidemic. ”

Shangguan Li stiffened.

Epidemic disease......

Although it is not as certain as the bubonic plague, the epidemics that have broken out among the people in all dynasties have killed millions of people at every turn. Several ancient capitals such as Yueyang and Cheongju were slaughtered a hundred years ago, not because of war, but because of epidemics.

The lethality rate is too high and it is highly contagious.

"Are you sure?" Shangguan Li felt that his voice had lost its former calmness: "The epidemic is too similar to typhoid fever, and it is not easy to diagnose and treat. ”

"You can summon the Imperial Physicians to come and treat you again." Doctor Chen's hands were clasped tightly together: "Niangniang, Weichen implores you to go back to Changxin Palace, and Emperor Yuanrong will be taken care of by the medical officer." ”

Doctor Chen's voice fell, and the palace maid beside Shangguan Li knelt down with a thud, pulling the queen's phoenix robe and persuaded mournfully: "Niangniang, you can't stay here anymore!" Emperor Yuanrong is important, but Niangniang is also a golden phoenix, so she can't be sloppy......"

Shangguan Li stood silently for a long time, and finally sighed softly: "This palace is her mother-in-law, how can she leave." Subsequently, she ordered the Changle Palace to burn mugwort leaves, sprinkle soju and aged vinegar.

If she is Yuan Rong's biological mother, it's just a stepmother.

It's hard for a stepmother to do, if she doesn't stay by Yuan Rong's side at this time, she will be accused of being unkind and a trivial matter, and she will be framed for murdering Yuan Rong...... That's the hard part.

Yuan Rong was so ill that Shangguan Li didn't have time to thoroughly investigate who and what means he used to infect her. She summoned all the imperial doctors in the inner hospital, and called Liang Shouchang, who went out of the palace today to Yang Ge's hometown for treatment, and ordered that the emperor's life must be saved.

She wondered if Lan Rui was still there, where could this kind of method stump her.

It was Empress Xiao who executed Lan Rui.

Shangguan Li smiled wryly. If Xiao hadn't done that back then, her daughter Yuan Rong would not be struggling between life and death now. Even Xiao herself, she may have a glimmer of life.

She knew the cause of Empress Xiao's death, and the ordinary uterine cold disease deteriorated into five internal organ failure, and finally died of dystocia. Can Shangguan Li'an see the weirdness in this?

Xiao's illness was helpless even for the Liang Yuan's judgment. But if Lan Rui is alive, I'm afraid there will be a way, right?

After Shangguan Li returned to the palace, he went to the imperial tomb to meet Empress Xiao. She knelt down reverently, her face was extremely respectful and solemn, but she sneered in her heart and whispered silently: "This is ...... Retribution! ”

It's her retribution for killing Rui'er.

The seriously ill Yuan Rong made Shangguan Li in a trance. She remembered a lot of things from the past, thought of Empress Xiao, and even Concubine Shen. Her first child died at the hands of Empress Xiao......

The past is scattered with the wind.

"The main palace is here to guard, waiting for the emperor to wake up." Shangguan Li sat down on the small pestle in front of the bed tiredly: "The emperor's holy body can't be contaminated with the epidemic, but the matter on Yuanrong's side must be reported." You go to the front court every quarter of an hour to urge, let the emperor come quickly, and take a look at Yuan Rong through the window sash of the dormitory. ”

***

The news of Emperor Yuanrong's sudden illness soon spread.

Lin Yuan and the others did not go to Changle Palace with the queen, and the queen was also suspicious of many people, so the concubines were not allowed to come to visit Yuanrong.

At dusk, the queen mother's phoenix drove back in a hurry, and the queen never left. The doctors and officials of the inner hospital were all summoned, and the Changle Palace was gloomy, and there was no good news until the Queen Mother returned to the palace.

The epidemic was not trivial, and the court was in turmoil, and the emperor issued an order to suppress the news. The people in the palace only knew that Yuan Rong was seriously ill, but they didn't care too much, it was a premature baby girl, and it was too normal for a major illness to be a small disaster.

As for the concubines of Lin Yuan and others, Yuan Rong has nothing to do with them, and no one really cares about the life or death of this emperor. But this matter still caused a lot of turmoil, and many concubines closed their doors in the palace, praying for Yuan Rong's illness and death - in this case, Empress Shangguan would be unlucky, and it would be best if she could take advantage of the situation to pull this domineering and fierce queen off the horse.

The concubines were fine, but the noble people of the Lintoe Palace had asthma, and there was not even a medical girl in the hospital, and she coughed and bleed her throat in the dormitory alone. Lin Yuan knew that the catkins in early spring were the most likely to cause asthma, and looking at the appearance of Hua Guiren was being rectified.

Lin Yuan didn't help the nobles, nor did he go to the well. She and Zhao Zhaoyi are both busy settling down the living of the show girl and dealing with the big and small affairs of Chaohuatang, so how can they care about anything else.

By nightfall, Emperor Yuanrong was still unconscious. The Empress Dowager of Changle Palace temporarily moved to the side hall Shoukang Palace, and after the emperor glanced at Yuan Rong through the curtain, he returned to Jianzhang Palace to summon the Liang Imperial Doctor to meet him, and ordered him to lead the medical officers of the hospital to immediately find a way to treat the emperor and isolate the epidemic. And by Yuan Rong's side, only the queen was accompanied by one master.

When the sun rose on the second day, the emperor did not go to the morning court.

At noon, the queen was placed under house arrest by the queen mother in Changle Palace, and the queen treasure seal was taken back to Jianzhang Palace by the emperor.

The palace was in an uproar. What is shocking is not only that the queen was grounded, but also that the queen mother told the six palaces in the way of a decree and made this matter frank and public.

No one dared to inquire about it. The aunt who was rumored by the Queen Mother's side made it clear, saying that the cause of Emperor Yuanrong's illness had been found.

Because of her frailty, Emperor Ji often palpitates at night and finds it difficult to sleep, so she has to prepare jade for her pillow. Use the finest mutton fat jade carvings to stuff under the pillows, or directly make mats made of warm jade.

Warm jade is invaluable, and its value has exceeded the emperor's share, and it was specially ordered by the queen to reward Yuan Rong.

After inspection by the imperial doctor, the lid of a warm jade glazed tea bowl used by the emperor was mixed with dirt.

Emperor Ji will use this tea bowl to brew a cup of honey to drink every night before going to bed, when the matter is revealed, there is a little palace maid who put the tea bowl in the cuff and is ready to go out, after being knocked out, the emperor thought it was a theft, and the imperial doctor Liang took it and tried it with medicine to know that it was the culprit of the scourge of the emperor.

Not only were these warm jades sent by the queen, but the little palace maid was also assigned by the queen to take care of the emperor. The emperor was furious and ordered someone to interrogate the palace maid, and she accidentally bit her tongue and committed suicide, so the queen was speechless.

The Queen Mother and the Emperor pressed the epidemic with all their might, but announced to the public that Emperor Yuanrong had been poisoned.

Lin Yuan didn't dare to inquire rashly, so he didn't know much about the truth. But she thought privately, if she was poisoned, could she grounding the queen with just the identification of a little palace maid? Before the incident, the queen even worked tirelessly in front of Yuan Rong's bed, without merit and hard work, and such an attitude is difficult to suspect that she wants Yuan Rong's life.

I'm afraid that the emperor has found out something else, so it's inconvenient to tell everyone.

However, Lin Yuan was not happy at all because of the queen's crisis. She knew very well that no matter how big the mistake was, as long as Empress Shangguan's father was still alive, it would be impossible for the queen to be deposed.
