Chapter 65: Tears grow and flowers flatter
Jin Peizi took two steps closely, and walked to her bedroom before Concubine Xian, and when she opened the corner of the thick door curtain, a choking smell came to her nose. "What's going on...... How did you get a miasma! Mother, you wait to come in again. Jin Peizi's face was gloomy, coughing incessantly, and she was puzzled: "Didn't you say that Hai Chang was sick?" Why do you still need to burn such choking incense in the house? Besides, this is not a good smell, it can smoke a good person to death, not to mention the crooked disease. ”
Panyu covered her nose and frowned, but she didn't even see a figure: "Where is the concubine?" The people in her palace were sick, but the lord was nowhere to be seen, and he didn't care about it. ”
Linglan heard the movement, hurriedly ran out of the house, cried non-stop, and bowed to the ground: "Concubine Xian Niangniang, the slave maid has asked you to say goodbye, please save my family, little master, I'm afraid it's about to die." ”
"What?" Panyu and Jin Peizi are like being struck by lightning, isn't this a thunderbolt in the clear sky! The two stared at each other, their eyes wide in astonishment, and they were extremely surprised.
"It's too strange that I was sick last night, and I didn't work overnight." Jin Peizi secretly screamed in her heart that it was not good, and her methods of slandering Huang Rui'e were too ruthless. A good person was harmed like this in a blink of an eye, and he was still by his side. Rabbits also know not to eat the grass next to the nest!
"Come with me inside." Panyu couldn't care so much, and was about to go inside with Jin Peizi. But he heard a soft voice, and hurriedly stopped: "Concubine Xian, please stay, Haichang is infected with scrub typhus, and if Niangniang goes in like this, I'm afraid it will be infected." ”
The person who spoke was none other than the concubine's close maid Cailan.
Seeing her trotting over, Panyu's fire suddenly rose up. "Where's the concubine? Why is she not there, but you are allowed to come alone to stop this palace? ”
"Back to Concubine Xian, Concubine Yi Niangniang went to ask the emperor for advice. There is such a big thing in the palace, how can you be hasty. Besides, it's a contagious disease. Before leaving, Concubine Yi deliberately instructed the slaves and maids to burn wormwood and other medicinal materials to drive away poison, and stopped people who came to visit Hai Chang to prevent the wanton spread of evil diseases. ”
Jin Peizi saw that Concubine Xian was angry, and couldn't help but ask: "Niangniang, what is scrub typhus?" Why have the concubines never heard of it? ”
Panyu ignored her, glanced at Cailan, and said with a grudge: "Xiao Puzi just went to ask for the imperial doctor, and he hasn't returned yet, how can he see that Hai Changzai inside is infected with this disease?" When people are still alive, you will burn wormwood on a large scale, regardless of it, where it is to drive away drugs, it is clear that it is fatal. While speaking, Panyu insisted on breaking in.
When Linglan heard this, she couldn't help crying bitterly: "Concubine Xian Niangniang Mingjian, my little master must not be that kind of evil disease, please save the little master." She was already suffocated, and the smoke from the herbs almost choked her. ”
Seeing this situation, Cailan felt that she couldn't stop Concubine Xian, and was afraid that she would smash the errand assigned by Concubine Xian, so she grabbed Concubine Xian's sleeve in a hurry: "Niangniang, no, no." Turning his head and crying, he begged Jin Peizi to help stop him: "Jin Guiren, please persuade the slave and concubine to help her mother." I really can't go in! If the mother has a good one, the slave and maid can't afford to pay for their lives. ”
Jin Peizi finally understands Concubine Xian's temperament, since she is here, she will not turn back. You have to figure out what is not going on. Knowing it in his heart, Jin Peizi was angry and yelled at Cailan: "Get out, there are no long-eyed things, do you dare to drag the sleeves of Concubine Xian Niangniang, life and death!" ”
"Concubine Xian Niangniang......" Cailan didn't finish her sentence, and saw Concubine Xian draw her hand and slap her in the face. His ears buzzed at the thought, and his cheeks ached. "...... You are ......" pain and grievances, Cailan dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, and let go of his hand timidly.
"Lelan." Panyu still felt puzzled, with a cold face, and said resentfully: "Give this palace twenty palms, don't be reluctant to exert yourself." ”
"Niangniang spare her life, the slave maid is just following the instructions of the concubine Niangniang, Xian Concubine Niangniang, you will spare the slave and maid!" Cailan only knew how to cry at this time, compared to the heartbroken Linglan, her tears were just for herself, worthless.
Before Jin Peizi went in with Panyu, she had to say to the maid beside her: "Lelan is light-handed and soft-hearted, you go and help her." Let her know that trespassing on her master is an unpardonable sin for a slave or a maid. ”
It's okay not to go in, but as soon as I walked in, Panyu was almost crazy by the scene in front of him. Three huge copper basins, full of wormwood and various medicinal herbs, burned in the sky with smoke. A few little eunuchs squatted on the side, covering their mouths and noses, and still kept adding materials to it, as if they were afraid that the smoke would not be thick enough.
And this room, which is connected to the inner room where Hai Chang is lying in bed, is only separated by a curtain door, and the smoke does not fly out of the closed window sash, and all of them rush into the bedroom of the patient, saying that it can choke people to death, which is not an exaggeration at all.
"Throw these copper basins out to the palace." Panyu's face flushed with anger. "Open the window, whoever dares to slack off and obstruct it, the palace will immediately report to the queen and send the Shen Penal Division to serve."
When the minions heard this, they were really panicked, and some even ignored the hot copper basin, shrank their hands and cushioned their sleeves and hugged them out, not daring to delay for a moment.
Open the window, sweep the floor, and in a blink of an eye, this room can be regarded as cleaned up. But the smoke is inexhaustible, and those who are still choking are uncomfortable.
As he spoke, Panyu also took several puffs of cigarettes, his eyes were red, and he coughed again and again. But he walked into the inner room and walked straight to Hai Changzai on the bed: "Qiqige, how are you?" Can you hear Hongu speak? ”
Jin Peizi was alert to find that Hai Chang was densely packed with small beans between his cheeks and neck, and he panicked, turned his head and opened the window inside. She wanted to wait for the smoke to disperse and see what it was. I don't want to rush over, what if it's really a bad disease!
Linglan burst into tears, knelt beside the bed and cried: "Concubine Xian, the little lord was fine last evening, and it is impossible for her to suddenly be infected with a vicious disease." What's more, the slave and maid heard from the little master that she had smallpox when she was a child, and after she survived, her body became more and more tough, and she was so easy to be infected with a serious disease. ”
"When I got sick last night, why didn't I report it and didn't go to the imperial doctor?" Concubine Xian stroked her hot forehead, her heart was not good, and the beads of sweat on her forehead rolled down coldly. "After delaying these times, I tossed like this...... How do you serve? ”
"The slave and maid are guilty, but the slave and maid don't want to." Linglan hesitated again and again, but still felt unhappy: "Concubine Yi Niangniang said that there is no big deal with high fever, there is really no need to alarm the emperor and queen at night, just let the slaves and maids serve carefully." This night, the little master's high fever did not go away, accompanied by vomiting, and the slave maid went to ask for the grace of the concubine several times, but Cailan blocked the door, saying that she was not allowed to disturb the concubine's rest.
But the slave maid has no permission, can't open the palace door, and can't invite the imperial doctor! The slave was helpless, so she had to guard the little master with fear. finally looked forward to the dawn, but the little master was covered with small particles like a rash, and the corners of his mouth were burned. The slave maid invited the concubine to come and see, but when the maid saw it, she ordered someone to burn wormwood, but the slave and maid were still not allowed to ask the imperial doctor. ”
Speaking of the sad place, Linglan couldn't cry, all the grievances poured out, and her face turned purple: "If it weren't for the slave maid who saw that Concubine Yi Niangniang was out of the palace, and begged Xiao Puzi to go this way, how could she alarm Concubine Xian Niangniang to come." To put it mildly, I'm afraid that when you come again, what you see is no longer the little master but a cold corpse. ”
Jin Peizi was so upset by her crying that she couldn't stop sighing. "Alright, go and get a basin of water, so that you can wipe the cold sweat of Qiqige."
Linglan bit her lip, wiped away her tears, and retreated.
Panyu glanced at Jin Peizi worriedly, and regretted: "I'm afraid it's too bad to be lucky." Noble Jin, you quickly ask the queen to come and ......"
"No...... No way! Jin Peizi couldn't believe her ears. took a few steps with the courage to take a look, and his face immediately turned blue: "Concubine Xian, don't be next to her." If it is really a bad disease, are you not afraid of harming yourself? ”
"It's a blessing or a curse, you go quickly!" Pan Yu stared at the dying Qiqige, slowly sat down beside her, and took her hand and rubbed it again and again. "It's a shame that you can't just die. Hold on, the emperor is coming, the emperor is coming to see you. ”
Hongli Fang went down to the court, and before the dragon robe was changed, he walked with Huang Rui'e, and went to Jingren Palace to see his character in a hurry.
Huang Rui'e sat on her shoulder, looking at the back of the emperor above her head, her face stiffened, and she secretly pursed her lips and smiled. Although Hai Chang is not very good, it doesn't affect anything after all. In addition to the queen and Concubine Hui, she is the third concubine to invite the emperor into her own palace. This is the glory she really cares about, and in the end, she still has to thank her for it!
In order not to let people see the joy, Huang Rui'e covered her very low face with a light gauze silk, pretended to wipe her tears indiscriminately, blocked the corners of her eyes and mouth, and laughed happily.
How did she know that Concubine Xian and Jin Guiren had already been waiting in the palace, waiting for her to come back, and they could make trouble.
The girl who followed Huang Rui'e, named Duolan, was a palace maid newly sent to Jingren Palace by the Internal Affairs Bureau, and she was twenty-eight years old. It looks clear and delicate, but it is quite calm.
Compared with Huang Rui'e's cheerfulness, Duo Lan seems to be very detained. It's not that it's because of the majesty of the Son of Heaven, but she always feels that it's too hasty for the concubine to come to invite the emperor rashly. Hai Chang is unpredictable, and it may not be able to make the concubines who pretend to be kind get any benefits. Maybe it's just the opposite, if you don't get the benefits, don't have to lose your reputation and future.
Because of his temperament, he was a newcomer to serve the palace maid, and Duo Lan cautiously controlled his tongue and did not tell his true thoughts to the concubine. After all, he will be obedient and ingratiating, and he may not be able to save his life in the palace.
