Chapter Seventy-Two: The Imperial Concubine's Death
"Eniang, have you heard? Shen Hui Gege and Huai Shu Gege also died. Yu Lan had a regretful expression on her face.
are all parents, and they can feel the grief in it, and the last time they separated from Hong Day, Orange Creek was sad for a long time before he came to his senses. But the imperial concubine has to face the death of her three daughters, and she must be in pain.
"Then the imperial concubine must be sad to death." Orange Creek said in a tone of concern.
"No, I heard that I fainted several times and vomited blood!" Yu Lan said while combing Orange Creek's hair, her expression a little heavy.
Orange Creek looked at herself in the mirror, she didn't want to get involved in these things, but suddenly she had an inexplicable feeling of pity, and she had the idea of wanting to visit the imperial concubine, she really wanted to see it, not to go to please the emperor with false affection.
Wait until Yu Lan finishes dressing up for her, "Yu Lan, go prepare some porridge and side dishes, let's go see the imperial concubine!" ”
"Niangniang, didn't Concubine Niangniang say that it's best not to go?" Yu Lan also knew the severity of smallpox, and she was worried about Orange Creek's comfort and wanted to stop Orange Creek.
"It's all mothers, it's my heart that doesn't allow me not to go." Orange Creek thought of Hongyang again, and as she spoke, tears swirled in her eyes again.
Yu Lan looked at Orange Creek's sad face, and couldn't bear to continue persuading.
As soon as he walked outside the gate of the shelter hall, he heard a wail in the courtyard. Approaching the courtyard, although there were many people kneeling in the courtyard, it still made people panic, desolate and terrible.
The cries were so loud that everyone couldn't cry, and no one bothered to salute Orange Creek anymore. Orange Creek casually grabbed a eunuch next to him and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"Back to ...... Back to Concubine Xi, Huaijing Gege. The eunuch returned tremblingly.
Huaijing Gege is also gone, isn't the imperial concubine just losing four daughters in a row, such a catastrophe, how can the imperial concubine stand it, Orange Creek felt sympathy for the imperial concubine.
She walked into the room quickly, and since Gonggong Chen was guarding the door, Orange Creek found the room where the imperial concubine was resting without asking.
"The concubine greets the emperor, and the imperial concubine asks for peace!" Orange Creek entered the door and saw that the emperor was also there, and did not forget to salute according to the rules.
"Concubine Xi came just in time, come and help me persuade the imperial concubine!"
The imperial concubine had already woken up, and when she heard that Huaijing Gege was going to be there again, she was completely devastated, and she was clamoring to see her four daughters for the last time. But everyone knew that smallpox would be excessive, how could the emperor let her die.
"Your Majesty, the concubine begs you, just be considerate and considerate of me as a mother! Let the concubines go to see the Geges again, hug them, touch their faces, and make them not so lonely, the concubines beg you. The imperial concubine got up from the bed, knelt on the ground and begged bitterly.
Imperial Physician Liu, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but shed tears, how could Orange Creek hold back, and he also burst into tears.
"Imperial Concubine! Do you know that when you go, you will send yourself to the fire pit, and you still have to be cautious! You should also think about Shen Ke! The emperor still tried hard to persuade her, and did not agree with her to see the remains of a few Gege.
Orange Creek stood there stupidly, not knowing what to say.
But the Imperial Doctor Liu next to him helped, "That's right! Imperial concubine, Shen Kegege's condition has improved, and she will be able to recover in less than ten days. ”
The imperial concubine's crying was not as urgent as just now, and she turned around and kowtowed to Imperial Doctor Liu.
"Mother can't help it, you are a miserable minister!" Imperial Physician Liu hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to the imperial concubine.
"Shen Ke will ask Imperial Doctor Liu, you must cure her."
"Niangniang, this is a matter within the minister's duty, and the minister must do his best."
When the imperial concubine heard Imperial Physician Liu say this, she showed a hint of a smile, which was a bit like a flashback. She coughed lightly twice, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
"Imperial Concubine......" Everyone stepped forward to call her, the emperor helped her and let her lean in his arms, and Imperial Physician Liu took her pulse on the side.
"Your Majesty, please, don't you feel at ease letting your concubines go? Just fulfilled the last request of the concubine, right? The imperial concubine continued to plead with the emperor in a small voice.
The emperor turned his face to look at Imperial Physician Liu, who nodded to the emperor with a sad expression, signaling that the emperor and the imperial concubine had no skills to return to heaven.
Orange Creek couldn't hold back any longer, and actually cried.
The imperial concubine heard Orange Creek crying and smiled at Orange Creek. Or laugh because there are still people who really cry for her in this hypocritical harem!
"Yes, I promise you." The emperor's expression was very sad, and his eyes were already ruddy, but in the end he still didn't cry.
The emperor and Imperial Physician Liu helped the imperial concubine out of the room, and Orange Creek also went out.
"Your Majesty, the concubines have said goodbye to you, and the concubines are going to accompany their daughters, otherwise they will be too lonely, and they will be afraid." After saying that, the imperial concubine turned around and walked towards Gege's room.
After all, the emperor was still reluctant, and couldn't help but call the name of the imperial concubine, "Imperial concubine? ”
The imperial concubine paused for a moment and continued to walk towards the house, she said to the palace maid who helped her, "Take the palace to see Shen Ke first!" ”
She walked into the room where Shen Ke was held, and Shen Ke was tied to the bed, and his face was covered with acne that was crusting, so that the imperial concubine almost couldn't recognize it.
The palace maid helped her to the bed, "Why do you treat Gege like this?" ”
The palace maid returned, "Back to the imperial concubine, the imperial doctor said that Gege's acne has been scabbed, and now it is extremely itchy, and I am afraid that Gege will scratch it with his hands, which will cause his condition to deteriorate." ”
Shen Ke heard the voice of the imperial concubine and woke up from his sleep, "Eniang, why are you here, you go out quickly!" Beware of your sons spreading the disease to you. ”
"Don't be afraid, you must get well quickly, and in the future, you must obediently listen to Huang Ama's words, and don't be as naughty as before. You have also reached the age of marriage, let Huang Ama find you a good family, a good husband and children......" The imperial concubine stroked Shen Ke's face and said with tears in her eyes. She was close to running out of oil, and it was already extremely laborious to say this.
"Eniang, what's wrong with you? Why is your face so ugly? When Shen Ke saw the appearance of the imperial concubine, he was also very worried.
"It's okay, E-Niang is fine, you take care of your injuries, E-Niang will go and see a few sisters." After the imperial concubine finished speaking, she asked the palace maid to help her go to the room where a few Gege's bodies were parked.
The bodies of Gege have all been dressed in longevity clothes, Xiao Gege's bodies have been put into the coffin, and the bodies of Shen Hui Gege, Huai Shu Gege, and Huaijing Gege are still lined up one by one.
The imperial concubine walked up to the Gege, hugged them one by one, and personally tidied up their messy hair.
"Children, you wait for E-Niang, E-Niang will come to you soon......" The imperial concubine sat on the ground and said her final words to a few Gege.
Seeing that there was no movement in the house for a long time, Orange Creek couldn't help but ask the emperor, "Your Majesty, why don't you stop the imperial concubine?" ”
The emperor ignored her, and the emperor didn't want to say anything at this time.
Imperial Physician Liu whispered to Orange Creek, "Concubine Xi, even if the emperor doesn't let the imperial concubine in, her time is running out." ”
Hearing such words, Orange Creek felt extremely uncomfortable, life is so fragile, if you say no, it will be gone, a smallpox, a sudden change, a cup of poison, or even a sentence can make a fresh life disappear.
Orange Creek was still feeling here, and suddenly a word came out of the house, "The imperial concubine is gone." ”
When the emperor heard this, he wanted to rush into the house, but was stopped by Chen Gonggong Chengxi and others, "Your Majesty, you can't help it!" You have to take care of your dragon's body! The world is important! ”
Everyone present knelt down, "The world is important!" ”
Only then did the emperor come to his senses and dispelled the idea of going in to see the remains of the imperial concubine. "Spread my message, and order the five departments to work together to handle the funeral of the imperial concubine, and bury it with the queen's gift." A few cold words can be regarded as a complete end to the imperial concubine's life.
"Huh!" Chen Gonggong responded.
The emperor turned around and left, and immediately cried in the palace to avoid illness.
Orange Creek also burst into tears, Yu Lan was already more emotional, and of course she couldn't help crying. "Eniang, let's go back!"
Back in Kunning Palace, Orange Creek was deeply touched, and her longing for Hongyang became stronger and stronger, but she was born in this palace, and she couldn't even be a good mother.
Orange Creek suddenly realizes that she is so ruthless and cold-blooded. Obviously, the emperor separated her from Hongday, but she can still be with this culprit, you love me strongly, is it too cheap, too unworthy to be a mother.
"Yu Lan, I want to see Hongday, tomorrow when you go back to the palace, can you let Hongli take Hongli into the palace by the way, let me see him." Orange Creek looked at Yu Lan with a pleading expression in her eyes.
Orange Creek's eyes made Yu Lan can't bear to refuse her, but this is simply impossible! Since Hongtian passed on to Prince Guo, who is the son of Prince Guo, he must have avoided Orange Creek, how could he let him enter the palace.
"Hmmm! Do your best! Yu Lan could only respond first, not wanting to disappoint Orange Creek.
Concubine Yu learned that Orange Creek was going to visit the imperial concubine, and she was in a hurry to rush to Kunning Palace. As soon as he entered the door, he said nonsense, "Sister Tong, why did you still go?" Didn't I tell you that smallpox would be extraordinary? You're so confused! ”
Seeing that Concubine Yu cared so much about her safety, Orange Creek burst out laughing.
"Sister Tong, why are you still smiling?" Concubine Yu looked at Orange Creek with an innocent face.
"It's just to go and see the imperial concubine, it's not a big deal, Sister Yu doesn't have to be so nervous, the imperial concubine is really pitiful, it's gone."
As Orange Creek was talking, Concubine Yu suddenly retched with an uncomfortable expression on her face.
Orange Creek, who has been a mother, felt that it was wrong at first glance, and Concubine Yu was probably happy, "Sister Yu, who are you?" ”
"I don't know why, I've been having a bad appetite lately, and I want to vomit when I see everything." Concubine Yu patted her chest and exhaled and returned to Orange Creek.
"Yu Lan, go and ask the doctor to take a break." As soon as Orange Creek said the words, she knew that she had said the wrong thing, but the medical leave made her trustworthy, and she didn't want others to do it for her. Seeing that Yu Lan had no intention of going, Orange Creek continued, "Yu Lan, you better go and get a plate of plum for Concubine Yu!" Jade lotus, jade lotus. ”
Yuhe heard Orange Creek's call and hurried in from outside, "Niangniang, what do you want to tell the slave?" ”
