In the evening, Baoyuan has not returned to the palace, I can't rest assured, I want Ming'er to invite Jingyi to come to my bedroom, but Ming'er is reluctant to move, and I know that I have been sick for more than a month, and there is a sudden epidemic in the palace, and there are many concubines in the harem who are sick.

Jingyi also contracted an illness and is now recuperating in Ningxin Hospital.

No wonder she didn't even come to see me, it turned out that she was sick.

Hearing that Jingyi was sick, I was anxious to visit, but Zhiqiu, Ming'er, and Grandpa Zeng were kneeling at the door, and in desperation, I had to ask them to invite Ling Xuan over.

After about half an hour, Ling Xuan arrived. Looking at his tired face, he thought that the epidemic in the palace must be serious.

"Imperial Doctor Ling, I don't know what Zhaoyi Niangniang's condition is?" I didn't care about the hustle and bustle, and hurriedly asked about Jingyi's condition.

"Back to Niangniang, Zhaoyi Niangniang has gradually recovered, and she will be able to return to Changchun Hall in a few days."

Hearing that Jingyi was very good, I breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "I don't know why there is an epidemic in the palace?" ”

"This minister has not yet found out the cause, but this epidemic is extremely fierce, and it has spread in the palace in just a few days...... But now that a way to deal with it has been found, it can be regarded as under control. ”

"Oh, that's good." I breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's just that the Third Prince......" Ling Xuan stopped when he wanted to speak.

"What's wrong with Xuanbao?"

"Niangniang, a few days ago, I heard that the third prince Xuanbao was infected with an epidemic." Ming'er said on the side.

"Imperial Doctor Ling, how is the current condition of the third prince?"

Ling Xuan's face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "The third prince has been weak since he was a child, and the epidemic disease he has been infected with this time is fierce and urgent. ”

"Ah, how so?" I was shocked and hurriedly said, "That, that...... By the way, last time Xuanbao suddenly fell ill, didn't Li Luo immediately diagnose and treat him......"

"Mr. Li has been listening to Fengxuan with Weichen for the past few days, and the cause of the disease cannot be determined after several consultations in Tai Hospital." Ling Xuan shook his head and sighed.

Isn't it possible to leave Luo? No wonder, no wonder Bao Yuan went out of the palace, wasn't it for Xuanbao's illness?

"Imperial Doctor Ling, the emperor left the palace, but for the illness of the third prince?"

"As far as Wei Chen knows, the emperor left the palace indeed for the illness of the third prince, and it seems that he went to Longju Temple."

Bao Yuan went to Longju Temple, but now it is winter, and the road is slippery in the snowy days in the mountains, so he must not have an accident! The more worried I was, the more I guessed, and I only felt a splitting headache.

Zhiqiu saw that my face was not good, so he hurriedly coaxed and persuaded me to lie down on the bed, and burned benzoin to calm my mind.

When I was half-asleep and half-awake, I suddenly felt someone shake my hand, and I struggled to open my eyes, but it was Bao Yuan's worried eyes.

Meng Lang ...... "I called him in a low voice.

"Rui'er, you're awake." His voice was so deep that it was completely devoid of the crisp timbre of the past.

He leaned down and took me in his arms, "Rui'er, you're finally sober, you know, you know......" He choked up.

"Meng Lang, I'm fine, don't worry, look, I'm really fine." Stroking this man with trembling shoulders, I was so sad that he had endured so much these days.

"Rui'er, Bao'er is sick, very sick." Bao Yuan's voice sounded so helpless, like a sharp sword piercing my heart.

"It's okay, it's okay, Meng Lang. The child is sick, the illness is fierce, but it is also getting better, Ling Xuan and Liluo are very skillful, they will definitely be fine. "Maybe it's because I just lost my child, and I feel so much pity for someone else's child.

"But, alas......" Bao Yuan sat up straight and said to me: "Rui'er, have you seen Bao'er now, I'm really worried...... Since the infection, the disease has been good and bad. Xuanbao is a seven-star child, and his bones are weak when he is small, and now the high fever that comes and goes so much has tossed a child who was originally alive and kicking to death. Rui'er, I'm so scared, I'm really scared......"

"Meng Lang, it's okay, it's going to be fine." I sat up and took his hand, hoping to give him some strength.

"It is rumored in the palace that this epidemic is the cause of unjust souls, and Peng Xiaoshang, a member of the staff, asks for the reopening of the imperial city."

Peng Xiao? I once heard Bao Yuan say that this person believes in Taoism and is good at cultivating the way of health preservation, and is nicknamed Zhenyizi. Often use the seal symbol to cure people's diseases, and call the iron fan symbol.

In the early years of Guangzheng, Bao Yuan admired his name and asked about the way of longevity, Peng Xiao said: "Governing the country with benevolence and righteousness, the name is like Yao Shun, immortal, and the way of eternal life." "Bao Yuan is kind to his words, and he is awarded Chao Sanlang, Shoushang Shushu Ancestral Hall member Wailang, and purple gold fish bag. During the Guangzheng period, Peng Xiao cultivated the alchemy book "Zhou Yi Shen Tong Deed, Chapter Tong Zhenyi" three volumes.

"Then did Meng Lang decide to reconvene the meeting?"

"Well, in the current situation, it won't work if you don't open it." Bao Yuan nodded.

Huizhen view is built by the former dynasty Wang Shu, formerly known as Huizhen Guangdian, since the former Shu died in the country, Huizhen Guan will rest the incense, only to meet the palace in the law, only from Qingcheng Mountain to invite Taoist priests to open the dojo. And the last concubine of the previous dynasty is always left behind, and now for the epidemic in the palace, Xuanbao is sick, so there is a reconvened meeting to say the truth. Now that Bao Yuanyun has agreed, there is no way to think about it.

"Then Meng Lang went to Longju Temple to pray for Xuanbao?"

Bao Yuan's eyes lit up, stretched out his hand to take me into his arms, and said: "Go to Longju Temple for our unborn child, I asked the prophetic Zen master to hold a forty-nine days of water and land puja, one to pray for the child's blessing and recommendation, the second is also for the palace people involved in this matter to spend the dead, and the third is to pray for you to bless and eliminate disasters." ”

"Do you think that Xuanbao's illness is really caused by a wronged soul?"

Bao Yuan's eyebrows tightened, and he said for a long time: "Since you lost your child, you have been delirious, I hate the viciousness of people in this palace, how can you even kill an unborn child." Therefore, I ordered the execution of all the palace maids and internal eunuchs who took care of Zhang Xianru in the cold palace. ”

"Ah...... "How could it be, Bao Yuan has always been merciful, and he only blames the palace people with a cane at most, but this time he ordered the execution of more than a dozen palace people.

"That Zhang Xianru was also ordered to die by you?"

"It's not!" Speaking of this, Bao Yuan gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "How could I give Zhang Xianru to death so rashly, she is a madman, if someone doesn't make trouble from it, how could she run to the plum garden to harm you." ”

"That, Zhang Xianru's death ......"

"I didn't send the inner prison who gave her poisonous wine at all, someone must have wanted to kill people and kill people, but this person started too quickly, and in the end, even the inner prison who sent poisonous wine was killed."

Bao Yuan stood up angrily, almost roaring: "They dare to harm people under my nose like this, it is all the result of my blind tolerance, I will make an example of a hundred." ”

He suddenly turned to me with a sad and desperate expression on his face, "So I decreed that all those who were on duty that day be executed. ”

It was as if something was hitting my chest, the man in front of me, his wrath could take so many lives, I had been with him for so many years, I never realized that he had the power of life and death in his hands.

Suddenly, Bao Yuan lowered his head, slowly walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, and said to me with infinite sadness: "Rui'er, it was I who harmed Bao'er, it was me, it was I who killed too many innocent people, so the old man surrendered his guilt and wanted to take away my most beloved prince." ”

I stared at the man in front of me with mixed remorse, his eyes bloodshot, and a flood of unfathomable sadness engulfed me in a moment.

At this moment, apart from crying silently with him, I don't know what else I can do.

Since I regained my senses, my body has gradually recovered, and the pain of losing my child has gradually disappeared into the bottom of my heart as time passed. Afraid that I would be upset, Ming'er and the others quietly took away the things I had sewn for the child.

Because of Xuanbao's illness, Bao Yuan was always worried, and even when he came to Changchun Palace, he couldn't sit still. Whenever this happens, I always cheer up and comfort me.

During this period, I summoned Liluo to the Changchun Hall once, and specifically asked about Xuanbao's illness and the epidemic caused by unjust souls.

The symptoms of Xuanbao are repeated, and the longer it passes, the more dangerous it becomes. As for the plague caused by unjust souls, it is said that several rituals have been done inside and outside the palace, but the cause and effect are not humanly possible!

I know what he said is reasonable, but it is better to be in such a helpless situation.

The days when Bao Yuan went to listen to Fengxuan became more and more frequent, and in the notes submitted by the Internal Service Bureau, his diet and living conditions were getting worse and worse.

Today, Bao Yuan came down to see me, and he had just entered my dormitory less than a cup of tea, and he heard that Feng Xuan Xiaolu came to Xuanbao to see his father.

Bao Yuan glanced at me with a very embarrassed expression.

I was a little unhappy in my heart, but I took pity on Xuanbao, so I said, "Your Majesty, go quickly!" Bao'er is sick now, and she misses her father. I've been sick all these days, and I haven't visited it, so why don't I go with you to see Bao'er today. ”

When Bao Yuan heard me say this, Fang Zhan smiled, personally took the cloak and put it on with me, and took me to Tingfeng Xuan.
