"Listen to the letter?" Liu Mianmian shrugged her eyebrows, lowered her voice and asked, "Can the emperor decree the sealing of Yongshou Palace?" ”

Cuizhu shook his head again and again, knowing that the nobleman would definitely be unhappy when he heard this, so he didn't dare to show his expression: "The emperor is still in the Yongshou Palace at this time, and the imperial doctor has already gone to dozens of people, saying that they want to check the palace people one by one for infection." ”

Liu Mianmian's lips twitched slightly, and her expression was obscure: "There is movement in the palace next to me, what does the queen say?" ”

"The queen also went to the palace with a royal doctor, and the palace next to her was only ordered not to move, and it was not yet time to assign people. However, Brother went to four or five imperial doctors, and the imperial guards also dispatched a few. Cuizhu lowered her eyes just right, looking as worried as the noble person in front of her.

Thousands of tastes, Liu Mianmian couldn't tell for a while, and said with a wry smile: "It's understandable that the emperor cares about the brothers, but he doesn't want to return to the Heart Palace from the Yongshou Palace immediately." If the concubine has been in the palace for more than ten years, she really has a long love with the emperor. ”

"After all, if the concubine gave birth to a little brother, it is inevitable that the emperor will cherish it." Cuizhu frowned and said: "Even if the emperor really doesn't care so much in his heart, so many pairs of eyes look at it, and the effort to save face always has to be done." ”

"It's the face, it's the inside, how can outsiders know, it's like a concubine who knows it in her heart." Liu Mianmian was a little impatient: "It's a shame that I haven't returned to the palace yet, and I've already started planning this matter, so I won't be in the air, and I can't get anything good, right?" ”

"The slave maid is just worried, if the fifth elder brother really contracted smallpox, it would be fine. I'm afraid it's the fourth elder brother...... If the queen knows the outline, then how should you deal with yourself, nobleman. Cuizhu was a little scared: "No matter how bad the queen is, she is also the middle palace, if even she is ......"

Liu Mianmian stood up lightly, walked into Cuizhu's side, and smiled calmly: "Cuizhu, you have been by my side for so long." also knows my temperament, now I am living in the position of a wreck, and whether it is good or bad is not my own. Whether it is a noble Kang or a noble person, what I want is to be able to be a concubine for a while, and ask the emperor to give me the word 'Mian' as a title.

This smallpox disease is just a trick to cover people's ears. Speaking of this, Liu Mianmian's face suddenly rose with a touch of coquettishness: "If it happens, I can be regarded as having my wish." If it doesn't work out...... It's a big deal to donate medicine to resolve the matter and leave no traces. ”

Cuizhu nodded reassuringly: "The nobles know what they know, and the slaves and maids will be at ease." ”

Seeing that the sky was sinking, thick ink was splashed, like a human heart, trembling for a long time, only feeling weak and weak. The queen looked forward to the letter from her brother, but she waited in vain all day, and she didn't see Chang Yonggui.

"Niangniang, sit down and drink tea, you have been standing like this for most of the day, and you are tired of watching the phoenix body." He Huan changed two or three cups of hot tea, but the queen didn't even touch her lips.

"Hold it aside." The queen has no other thoughts than blindly thinking about the fourth elder brother. The emperor also gave the third elder brother a house and moved out of the palace, so he could have less snacks. "Chang Yonggui is becoming more and more unable to do things, so isn't there only the fourth elder brother and the fifth elder brother who come and go? Four or five imperial doctors have been gone for so long, and they can't see why? Won't you come to inform Hongu first? ”

He Huan didn't dare to speak, secretly guessing that Chang Yonggui would not come, it must be the emperor's intention. Now the palaces are not allowed to move, and I don't know whether the evil disease is light or serious, and whether it will endanger itself.

"He Huan, you ask someone to go to Brother's house and ask in person. This palace is as uncomfortable as a cat's paw, but I can't rest assured. The queen's anxious face flushed slightly: "When the palace gave birth to the fourth elder brother, the body was not good. The fourth elder brother didn't grow up with this palace, how many places he has changed over the years, how many sins he has suffered, in case something important ......"

"The Queen." He Huan interrupted the queen's words: "The fourth elder brother is blessed with longevity, it will be fine, you can rest assured." It's just that the emperor has already made a decree not to let the palaces move around to prevent the spread of evil diseases. Let's wait for Grandpa Chang to come! ”

"Oh, mother, you're not hot, are you?" Qin'er handed the teacup to Ruyue, and the hot water overflowed instantly. The fingers, which were as white as green onions, immediately burned and reddened.

"Let me see." The emperor hurriedly walked over, held Ruyue's hand and blew gently: "It doesn't matter, go and send the imperial doctor." ”

"The concubine is fine." Ruyue solemnly retracted her hand, anxious: "Didn't Chang Yonggui just say that Concubine Zhuang's Yonghe Palace, Brother Brother's Office, and Qixiang Palace have all found minions infected with evil diseases!" And they are all the same internal attendants who entered the palace, and it took only a month before and after. The imperial doctors must be very busy now, and the concubine's injury is really nothing. ”

How could the emperor not know what Ruyue was worried about, and sighed quietly. "It's fine, but you'll have to apply some medicine."

Pei Shuang hurriedly took out the medicinal wine from the small compartment on the cabinet: "There is medicine here, let the slave maid apply some to the young lady." ”

"I'm coming." The emperor took the small medicine bottle from Pei's hands, opened it carefully, and applied it to Ruyue's hand with a snow-white soft lump dipped in medicine.

I don't know if the emperor's movements were extraordinarily gentle, or if the injury was not serious, Ruyue didn't feel pain at all. On the contrary, she is worried, there are infected palace people in Concubine Zhuang's sister's palace, even Brother Ao. Is God going to punish her? This is to scare people! What if something happens to Yiwei and Mianyu? Thinking like this, Ruyue's tears burst out of her eyes, fell one by one, fell on the back of the emperor's broad hand, and splashed into dots of dust.

"Did I hurt you?" The emperor sighed carefully, but he couldn't do it in distress. "It's better to ask the imperial doctor to take a look." "Your Majesty, the concubines are worried about Xiaowei, the fourth elder brother, and the fifth elder brother." Ruyue raised her head, her eyes flashing with tears were sad and innocent, all of which were a mother's love and compassion. "The imperial doctor has already gone to take a look, but there has been no news for so long, and the concubine is very scared."

Pei Shuang was worried, and when he heard Ruyue's words, tears fell like jade beads. "Miss, don't worry, the princess and brother are in excellent health, and they will be fine."

"With me here, with my dragon qi protection, Xiaowei and Mianyu will be fine." The emperor took Ruyue into his arms and suddenly felt very happy. At this moment, he really is her God. No matter what happens, face it together, share it for her, let her rely on, and give her hope.

"Your Majesty ......" Ruyue suddenly felt very helpless, even if she was calm and calm, how could she see through the conspiracies in the harem. After all, people are not as good as heaven. Only the emperor's embrace made her feel a little warmer.

"Niangniang, Grandpa Chang is back." Qin'er watched Chang Yonggui come in, and her eyes instantly lit up with anticipation. "How's it going, Grandpa Chang?"

Chang Yonggui hunched his waist and saluted: "The imperial doctor has carefully examined it, and the fifth elder brother is fine." ”

These words were like a rainbow, and they suddenly lit up everyone's hearts. The emperor smiled warmly at Ruyue and rejoiced: "Great, Ruyue." ”

Ruyue cried with joy, and couldn't stop bowing her head: "Your Majesty, please be kind to the concubines and take Mianyu to Yongshou Palace to take care of it." The concubine wants to take care of him herself, okay. ”

"It's fine." The emperor was about to speak, but Chang Yonggui coughed lightly.

Ruyue found that the color on Chang Yonggui's face had not improved at all, and there was even a faint worry. "Grandpa Chang, is there anything you haven't said?"

"Back to the concubine Niangniang, the fifth elder brother is fine, but the fourth elder brother is ......" Chang Yonggui took a breath of cool air before continuing: "The imperial doctor has been diagnosed, and it is indeed infected with smallpox. At this time, there is already a high fever, and the situation is not optimistic. ”

"Mianxin?" The emperor couldn't help but be shocked: "How can this be, what does the imperial doctor say?" ”

Ruyue was also a little incredulous: "How could the fourth elder brother be infected with smallpox, isn't there a nurse who takes care of him carefully?" What's more, the fourth elder brother's body is usually healthy...... Did the queen mother know? ”

The emperor was also thinking about this, and looked at Chang Yonggui with the same expression as Ruyue.

Chang Yonggui lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "I haven't had time to inform the queen yet." The slave is preparing to ask the emperor for an order, whether the fourth elder brother will continue to stay in the elder brother's care and be taken care of by the imperial doctors, or will he ......"

Ruyue's mind is smart, and she can already understand the thoughts of the queen mother in a thought. "Your Majesty, the concubine thought to herself, the queen must hope that she can take care of the fourth elder brother herself. But Niangniang's body has never been good, but I'm afraid that I can't stand the toss. And the fourth elder brother has already had a high fever, and it is inconvenient to move. The concubine still felt that it was better to stay in the elder brother's house and continue to take care of it. ”

The emperor nodded, and also felt reasonable: "Chang Yonggui, you go and pick up the fifth elder brother back to Yongshou Palace, and then send the imperial doctor to stay on duty at the elder brother's office, and take turns to take care of the fourth elder brother." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Chang Yonggui also understands that if the concubine says so, she just doesn't want the queen to be contaminated with smallpox. But the queen will definitely not be willing, not only will she not be willing, but she may also be angry with the concubine. "Where is the queen ......?"

"The evil disease has not been eliminated, and the palace concubines are naturally not allowed to move around easily." The Emperor's voice exuded an irrefutable majesty.

Qin'er could best understand Ruyue's intentions, and she didn't feel Chang Yonggui's worries, so she stepped forward: "Your Majesty, Niangniang." The slave had smallpox when she was young, and once cured, she would not be infected for life. Yongshou Palace is taken care of by Peishuang, and it must be able to deal with it. The slave and maid asked the emperor and the mother for permission to allow the slave and maid to go to the elder brother's office to take care of the sick fourth elder brother until the fourth elder brother recovered. ”

The emperor didn't expect Qin'er to say this, and was relieved: "Ruyue, you are kind and kind, and so are the people who have been trained." I am very relieved. ”

Ruyue smiled slightly: "The emperor praised it." If it weren't for the concubines, they would also want to take care of the fourth elder brother personally. ”

"It's good to have a heart." The emperor held Ruyue's hand tightly.

"The slave and maid are gone." Qin'er bent her knees slightly, and retreated with Chang Yonggui. In her opinion, this smallpox came strangely, after all, autumn has not passed, and midwinter has not yet arrived, how could she provoke such a vicious disease to enter the palace for no reason?
