Chapter 233: Mutual Love
Cen Muning has no other evidence, but Helian's eyes are so sincere. "Okay, since you said so, this palace believes you."
She picked up Zizhou who was placed on the bed again, and frowned: "No matter what, this palace will take care of him personally." I hope you can work hard to protect him. ”
"Yes." Helian nodded seriously: "Weichen needs some medicinal materials, and the queen mother has to order someone to prepare it immediately." Weichen also needs two helpers, and when it is dawn, he has to let the guards bring people in. ”
"Okay." Cen Muning nodded and agreed, but she felt sorry for such a young child, who had to endure so much hardship.
When Helian opened the prescription, he accidentally raised his head and saw Cen Muning holding the petite child, his face was full of sadness, and his heart was slightly unbearable. She is really not suitable to live in this deep palace, if he can come to her side one step earlier, help her in time when she is most helpless, and prevent her from becoming Princess Ruiming, will she be like those women outside the palace today, living a simple and ordinary life, but calm and comfortable.
At this time, Liao Rongyu couldn't sleep peacefully.
Zhuang Chenchen was beside her, snoring slightly, but because of the heat of the summer heat, a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.
She tiptoed into thin satin and got out of bed.
"Add some more ice to the urn, Blaze. Look, the emperor is sleeping a little hot. She pushed the door open and gave a command.
Mosse nodded, but motioned for her to go outside.
Liao Rongyu slowly walked out of the room, gently closed the door, and walked with her to a little farther away from the porch, before asking in a low voice, "Is something wrong?" ”
"Niangniang, someone just came to report that His Royal Highness the eldest son of the emperor was suffering from pox, and he was suffering from a high fever at this time. The queen immediately summoned the deputy hospital to judge her for diagnosis and treatment, and at the same time closed the entire Fengling Palace. Now all the palace people in Fengling Hall are not allowed to step out of the palace gate for half a step. This matter has spread all over the harem, and Concubine Yingniang has already cried outside the Fengling Palace at this time. Mo Se lowered his voice and asked, "Niangniang, do you want to tell the emperor about such a big matter?" ”
Liao Rongyu didn't think much about it at all, and immediately said, "Of course, I have to tell the emperor immediately." The safety of the queen mother and the eldest son of the emperor is involved, how can it be hidden. You hurry up and ask Liang Bao and Yin Li to prepare. I'm going to serve the emperor and change clothes. Even if the palace door of Fengling Hall is locked, if the emperor wants to see the queen mother and Zizhou, we can't stop it. ”
"Yes." She nodded neatly: "The slave and maid will go." ”
Liao Rongyu hurriedly returned to the inner room, and her steps were a little anxious. "Your Majesty...... The Emperor ......"
Zhuang Chenchen actually woke up when she went out and closed the door. I just didn't make a sound, and I didn't bother to move. At this time, I heard her voice trembling, and my heart was a little uneasy. "What's the matter?"
"The concubines disturbed the emperor's sleep, and they were really forced to do so. News came from the Fengling Palace that Zizhou was infected with pox, and the queen mother had locked up the entire palace. The deputy hospital sentenced him to go for diagnosis and treatment. The emperor's pox disease is contagious. His Royal Highness Zizhou is so small and weak, and the queen is ......"
Zhuang Chenchen jumped up: "Change clothes, I'll take a look." ”
"Yes." Liao Rongyu could clearly feel the emperor's anxiety. It shows that the emperor really cares about the queen and the eldest son of the emperor. "The concubine has already asked people to prepare the chariot, and the emperor will let the concubine accompany you."
"No need." Zhuang Chenchen frowned slightly: "It's late, you rest early." I'll see you another day. ”
By the time he finished the last sentence, he had already walked away.
Liao Rongyu sighed: "I hope that the heavens follow the wishes of the people, and everything is safe." ”
Mo Se hurriedly came over to help her: "Niangniang, don't worry. The queen has always been kind, and God will definitely favor those who have good intentions. ”
"You didn't like the queen before, but now you can say that." Liao Rongyu smiled at her.
"The slave maid sees that the queen is really treating you well, and the slave and maid naturally hope that the mother is good." Mo Se said seriously: "As long as the queen mother is here, your life in the palace can be more stable." As long as there is a stable life, it is the best. ”
"yes." Liao Rongyu nodded: "Except for such things, I am sleepy." In this case, you go and bring the sutras, and I'll look at them later. ”
"Well, the slave will go." She went to the study to get the Buddhist scriptures and closed the door.
Liao Rongyu's body was soft and lay on the table: "Alas......"
"How's it going inside?" When Zhuang Chenchen arrived, the palace gate of Fengling Hall had indeed been locked. The guards outside were all vigilant, and the whole palace seemed to be shrouded in dark clouds, and the low-pressure atmosphere made people breathless.
"If you go back to the emperor, the father-in-law of the Ming and Qing dynasties specially explained that the emperor should not be alarmed. Even if the emperor comes, he can't let the emperor venture into the Fengling Palace. At this time, the deputy court judge had already prescribed a prescription for His Royal Highness, the eldest son of the emperor, and although His Royal Highness still had a high fever, he no longer cried and could sleep. The queen will personally take care of Her Royal Highness, and ask the emperor to hand over the affairs of the harem to Concubine Gong and Concubine Liao. ”
Zhuang Chenchen nodded slightly, and said to Yin Li: "I'll go and see the queen." ”
"Master, pox is contagious." Yin Li couldn't help but worry: "If you have anything to say, let the slave tell the queen mother on your behalf......
"Not necessarily." Zhuang Chenchen was about to enter the palace when he suddenly heard a woman crying. He turned his head and saw the concubine lying on the ground, her body trembling terribly. "Concubine Ying?"
"Your Majesty, please be merciful and let your concubines enter the Fengling Palace to take care of Zizhou." Ruan Er cried and gasped: "Zizhou is the lifeblood of the concubine." It's all the concubines who are not good, so that he can speak out before he is full-term, so that his body is so weak. As a mother-in-law, if the concubine can't accompany and take care of him, in case something goes wrong...... Concubines will feel guilty for the rest of their lives. ”
"Your Majesty." The guard had no choice but to reply stiffly: "Your Majesty, in fact, the queen mother specially explained that the concubine was not allowed to enter." The slave has already sent Concubine Yingniang back to the palace, but I don't know why Niangniang is here again. ”
"The queen will take good care of Zizhou." Zhuang Zhenchen couldn't help but feel a little bored when he saw that Ruan Er was crying: "How can you take care of Zizhou like yourself." You'd better hurry back to the palace and don't make trouble here. ”
"Don't, don't want the emperor." Ruan Er pounced on the emperor's leg and hugged the emperor's leg tightly: "The concubine knows her identity and is not qualified to raise Zizhou." No matter who the emperor handed him over, the concubines would not have the slightest objection. But at this time, it is related to the safety of Zizhou. The concubine really couldn't watch it, waiting for any news from the Fengling Palace, that feeling was like splitting the concubine's heart and frying it in a hot oil pot, and the concubine was better off than dead. ”
"Zizhou hasn't done anything yet, you're making a fuss like this. How can I rest assured that you will take care of Zizhou. Zhuang Chenchen kicked her away, and said with a frown: "My prince is not so fragile, you better put away your tears." Otherwise, I won't allow you to see Zizhou again in your lifetime. ”
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty's ......" Soft Er wanted to ask him, why are you so ruthless.
But before she could ask, Zhuang Chenchen had already leaped into the air and went straight into the locked Fengling Palace.
"Master...... "Yin Li wanted to follow, but was stopped by the guards." What are you holding me back? Why don't you stop the emperor! ”
"It's not that we don't want to stop the emperor, but we can't stop it at all." The leader of the guards scratched his head in embarrassment: "In short, the fewer people who go in, the better, otherwise the queen will blame her, and the servants can't afford it." ”
"Okay, how can you get pox!" Yin Li always felt that something was wrong. He knows the queen, and the queen has always been meticulous in her work. Knowing that His Royal Highness the eldest son of the emperor was weak, it was impossible for this disease to come into contact with him. He must have been extra vigilant about the nurses around him. So where does this disease come from?
"Have you been on an errand in the Fengling Hall all along?" Yin Li suddenly reacted to something wrong, frowned and asked.
"yes." The leader of the guards nodded: "It's not just me, but these brothers around me have also been serving in the Fengling Palace. ”
"Has anyone in the Fengling Hall been sick recently, such as having a high fever, or having a rash on their face?" Yin Li asked uneasily.
"Not really." The guard knew what he meant by asking, and said soberly: "Not only does he not have a high fever, even if he has a cold, the queen mother has also explained, she must hurry to the imperial pharmacy to get medicine, and before the illness is cured, you don't have to take office." You must be examined by the imperial doctor to make sure that there is no problem before you can come back to serve. If someone has a high fever, they would have told the queen mother a long time ago, they have holidays, they have medicine to eat, and they can also let the imperial doctor diagnose and treat them. ”
"That's right." Yin Li thought, if the source of the disease was not in the Fengling Palace, then it would have to be investigated carefully.
At this time, Zhuang Chenchen had already walked outside the door of Zizhou's house. Seriously, it was the first time he came back to Fengling Hall to see Zizhou. Although Zizhou has been handed over to the queen to raise for a long time.
"How is Zizhou's body?" His voice rang out suddenly.
Cen Muning was startled, turned her face to meet his worried eyes, and couldn't help frowning: "Don't come here, Your Majesty." Zizhou is infected with pox, and pox is contagious. If anything is wrong with you, the concubine cannot bear the responsibility. ”
"You're not afraid, why should I be afraid." Zhuang Chenchen insisted on coming over.
Cen Mu stood up in a daze: "Your Majesty, it's one thing to be afraid or not, but it's another thing to be able to do it." The concubine knows that you are the Son of Heaven, and there is no one more courageous than you. But if you are injured by this disease in the Fengling Palace, the concubine will become a sinner in the country. ”
"Obviously worried about me, why do you say that you only care about your own name." Zhuang Chenchen frowned and looked at her: "Are you really afraid of the mouths of those old ministers or the pens of those imperial histories?" ”
"Your Majesty ......" Cen Mu Ning saw him take a step forward, so he hurriedly stepped back: "You should think about the concubine." ”
"I haven't seen Hezizhou, how can I rest assured." Zhuang Chenchen had stopped in front of her. "If it's really contagious, I'm willing to accompany you to get infected. That's probably it. ”
