"Where's it going?" The emperor's gentle and smiling face suddenly became serious, and when he heard that it had been sent to Yanxi Palace, he asked Hongyan to take his daughter away, get up and go to the door.

Eight hundred miles rushed all the way to Yanxi Palace, only to see a little sunny Sixth Palace was urged by this hurried footsteps, although there was good news for several days, but the emperor did not dare to get carried away, and hurriedly unfolded the fold to see, sure enough, something happened.

After the tidal plague, the epidemic broke out, and the plague swept all over the country overnight, and now the people of the disaster were in turmoil, and began to migrate to other places. He put away the fold and instructed Chief Manager Wu to summon the minister to the Yangxin Palace to discuss matters, turned around and saw the red-faced mother and daughter standing aside, eased her expression a little, stepped forward and took her daughter's hand and said: "Buddha is good and Eniang is at home, Ama will come to see you in a few days, Buddha, if you are born spiritual, bless our people to get through this disaster as soon as possible." ”

The little princess smiled innocently, as if she had agreed, so cute that the emperor warmed his heart, and he said to Hongyan: "Don't work too hard, your body is important." ”

Hongyan owed: "The emperor has to take care of his body, he has lost a lot of weight." ”

Hongli smiled bitterly: "If I lose weight, I can exchange it for the well-being of the people, so why not lose some weight?" ”

Two days later, the epidemic situation in the disaster area became more and more serious, and all kinds of rumors came into the capital, which made the people panic and the people were uneasy.

Naturally, this is just a rumor, the victims are not clothed and hungry, how to come all the way to the capital, but the surrounding provinces and counties are under pressure, the emperor originally wanted to order various places to open warehouses to accommodate the victims, but the epidemic continues to spread, and the people wandering around will do no harm to control the plague, but it is really cruel to trap them in a disaster place where there is nothing to do.

The court argued for several days over this matter, and when the emperor decided to send medicine to the disaster area, news came that Su Zhaonan, the father of the pure concubine, had died of plague in Jiangsu the day before yesterday.

The bad news came into the Xianfu Palace, the legs of the hugging qin were weak, and she didn't remember how she walked to the small Buddha hall at all, at that time, the pure concubine was still chanting reverently, and she didn't know that the old father was deceased, when she heard the news of hugging the qin trembling and crying, she fixed there like a stone carving, her eyes were like a dead expression, and it took a long time to get up.

Baoqin thought she was going to go out, but she was surprised to see the master pounce on the Buddha shrine and push down the jade Guanyin with a gentle and compassionate face. Hug the qin and revere the gods and Buddhas, seeing this situation, instinctively rushed forward, happened to catch the Buddha statue, and held the jade Guanyin in his arms.

The Buddha statue was not damaged, but the pure concubine pushed the incense burner, candles and the enshrined melons and fruits on the Buddha shrine to the ground like crazy. Huqin hid aside with the Buddha statue in his arms, trembling with fright, and the palace maids and eunuchs outside did not dare to come in to persuade him, and when the pure concubine was almost smashed, he suddenly howled and cried, and he didn't keep up with him in one breath, and he fainted directly.

The pain of losing her father, tearing out her heart and bones, everyone understands the grief of the pure concubine, but she frantically dismantled the Buddha shrine and disrespected the Bodhisattva, which is still chilling. In the time when Concubine Chun was asleep, Baoqin carefully invited the Buddha statue into the Buddha Hall of Cining Palace, and when she left, she met the sedan chair of Yanxi Palace, she knelt on the side of the road and waited for the concubine to pass first, but Cherry came forward to help her, and said: "Sister Baoqin, please get up, our master said that it was cold and knelt on the ground to hurt the body." ”

Baoqin was lifted up by cherries, seeing the sedan chair passing slowly, a gust of wind blew and lifted the curtains, she saw that the little princess was holding the face of the concubine, and kissed one bite after another. But the princess was obviously born to their master, but Xianfu Palace has never seen such a beautiful scene.

Cherry said to Baoqin: "We just heard about the pure concubine's mother's family in Shoukang Palace, and we also ask Niangniang to mourn, Sister Baoqin must be hard these days, the autumn breeze is cool, you can add more clothes, this body can be thin." ”

There was a mess in Xianfu Palace, where could Baoqin take care of adding or subtracting clothes, politely coping with a few words, and then asked Cherry to go with Concubine Ling, she stood on the side of the road and watched for a while, only to see the eunuchs and palace maids of Yanxi Palace, all of whom were kind-looking, and were slaves in the palace, this is the best life.

Su Zhaonan died of the plague because of his sinful body, but the court did not even have any compensation, and three days later, the pure concubine had just recovered her senses. She hurt her body in a hurry, this disease should not be underestimated, if you want to save your life and recuperate quietly, but on this day Su woke up, heard the screen and hugged the piano and said: "Third elder brother, Niangniang just wants you to write a eulogy for the master, naturally I will not ask you to go to the house to mourn and mourn, this wish, you will come true for the mother." ”

But the third elder brother said coldly: "I can't write any eulogy, there are naturally clerks outside to do these things, why bother to find me." It's already a shame for me to have such a grandfather, but don't trouble me anymore. ”

Concubine Chun was heartbroken when she heard this, but who can she blame, her son was born to her or raised by her, who can she blame for raising such an unfilial son? The painful woman held the bedding tightly in her hand, thinking about the pain when she gave birth to the third elder brother, now her son's heart is not towards herself, and the emperor is even more disgusted with her, she is desperate to have children, what is she trying to do, who is it for?

The third elder brother didn't listen to persuasion, and he didn't come in to see his mother anymore, he stubbornly ran out, hugged the qin helplessly, turned the screen and wanted to see the master, at first glance, he saw the pure concubine burst into tears, thinking that he heard what he had just said. She stayed where she was and didn't dare to move, and the pure concubine sneered with tears in her eyes for a while, and her words were full of hatred: "I can't die, I want to live well, the world owes me, the emperor owes me, those women owe me, I want them to pay it all." ”

As long as the epidemic does not spread in a large area, it will be alleviated after a while when medicine is useless, and it will naturally cost countless lives, which is the same as a hurricane, which is regarded as God's punishment to the world.

Fortunately, the weather was getting colder, which was of great help to control the epidemic, and the emperor also allocated countless manpower and material resources to help the victims, and when the first snow fell in the capital in late October, the disaster and epidemic situation in Jiangsu were finally controlled.

However, a wave of unsettled waves, after the frequent good news, Dajinchuan suddenly encountered changes, several confrontations after the autumn, the Qing army was repeatedly defeated, when it was realized that Dajinchuan Tusi had a strategist undercover on the side of the Qing army commander Zhang Guangsi, and the strategic deployment of the Qing army, the Qing army was repeatedly frustrated, and the Qing court had suffered heavy losses.

The early dynasty of the Qianqing Palace, since the end of summer, there has never been a day of relaxation, the dark clouds over the Forbidden City have been entrenched for several months and will not disperse, recalling the extravagant and prosperous wedding scene of the princess at the beginning of the year, now it is really the difference between heaven and earth. Even Princess Hejing deeply blamed herself, whether her wedding was too grand, which caused the wrath of the heavens.

In this way, He Jing didn't dare to say it to the queen, let alone the queen mother or the emperor, but when she returned to the palace to visit the elders, she would go to Yanxi Palace to sit down, and she would confide in Hongyan who was regarded as a confidant.

Hongyan was distressed when she heard this, and persuaded her: "You have dedicated most of your dowry to the soldiers of the three armies, and the people know the princess's heart, as for the wedding, you are the only concubine of the emperor and the queen, and the only princess before the birth of the Buddha, the emperor has prepared everything for you early, and it has not reached the point where the treasury is empty and the people are not able to make a living after a wedding." This time the Jiangsu disaster, the imperial court also survived, you must not say these words to the queen, the mother will be sad and guilty. ”

He Jing nodded again and again: "This is the most unacceptable thing to say to Eniang, she is only afraid that my wedding is not grand enough, and my princess's mansion is not luxurious enough." ”

Hongyan smiled: "Be happy, we are all bitter and drooping, the emperor is really interested, but as his family and children, we are still comfortable, and it is also a little comforting." ”

He Jing agreed, and sighed: "The days outside the palace are more comfortable than in the palace, you once said that I would not want to return to the palace after I got married, but now I understand." But I will miss you, and I will still want to come back to see, but if I choose, even if I live a life outside the palace, I don't want to go back to the palace. ”

Hongyan smiled and asked: "In the end, let's take care of the princess, otherwise how can there be a daughter who doesn't want to go home?" ”

He Jing's cheeks were crimson, and he pushed away the red face and said, "People are serious with you." But the little woman couldn't help but say shyly, "Originally, when I entered the palace, I should have talked and laughed with Eniang and you, but now everyone has a straight face, and I have a lot of happy things, but no one can say it." Although it was a mess outside, the princess's mansion was harmonious and beautiful, and I was doing well. ”

"If the mother hears this, she must be happy." Hongyan took Hejing's hand and said, "Everything will pass, wars and disasters are things that have happened in all dynasties, we can't do anything, we can only believe in the emperor, the minister of civil and military affairs, and the people." ”

At this time, Cherry said in front of the door: "Fucha Fujin asks to see you outside the inner palace." ”

Hongyan wondered: "When is she so polite, please come quickly, but why doesn't she go to Changchun Palace?" ”

But he said respectfully: "I'm afraid I'm here to tell you what is in my heart, I heard from the forehead that General Zhang made a mistake, and the main general who attacked Dajinchuan was missing, and Huang Ama wanted to choose another person to go, and his uncle's voice was very high before, and this time Huang Ama was afraid that he would be elected." ”

Hongyan's heart tightened, she didn't expect Fu Heng to go to the battlefield after all, she didn't know what kind of mood Ruyin was in at the moment, so she quickly asked Cherry to invite Ruyin in, and she and Hejing waited directly on the palace road outside Yanxi Palace.

Sure enough, Ruyin was flustered, and came to Hongyan to talk to her, and Fu Heng told her last night that she was afraid that she would have to go on the expedition this time.
