Ling Zhao thought that she was in a daze, thinking that she was still in a dream, dreaming of the person she was thinking about for a long time, she smiled at Xuan Ye stupidly: "Your Majesty." ”

Xuan Ye said, "Haven't you woken up yet?" Lingzhao, it's me here. ”

"Emperor" Lingzhao subconsciously pierced the flesh of his palm with his nails, and under the stinging pain, his whole body was full of excitement, is it true, it is true?

"I'm scared." Xuan Ye sat down, motioned to Ling Zhao not to retreat further, and said, "I came to see you, accompany you to say a few words and leave, the imperial grandmother did not allow me to enter the city, I came secretly." ”

The strength in Ling Zhao's heart disappeared in an instant, and he fell into Xuan Ye's arms and cried: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid." ”

Xuan Ye gently comforted her: "The Tai Hospital has found a way to deal with it, and the epidemic will be alleviated from tomorrow, like a disease transmitted by pollen, I will send someone to find the place where the wind comes from, find the source of the flowers and plants, and burn them all." ”

The person in his arms was sobbing and trembling, and Xuan Ye stroked Ling Zhao's back, quietly waiting for her to finish crying.

Ling Zhao vented the pent-up emotions in her heart, her head was clear again, it was the emperor who was holding her, it was Xuan Ye who came back to see her, she raised her head and looked at Xuan Ye stupidly: "Your Majesty? ”

"It's me, is there anyone else?" Xuan Ye smiled, "Are you awake?" Don't cry, crying breaks your eyes. ”

However, at this moment, someone came in a hurry outside the door, Ling Zhao was suddenly nervous, if there are such footsteps in the past few days, it will not be a good thing, the eldest brother is in a very bad condition today, she is afraid that the eldest brother will not be able to carry it.

The person who came was Da Lizi's apprentice, who was supposed to stay outside the city, but now he said to the emperor through the door: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has a decree, since the emperor has returned to the palace, please stay in the palace, and don't go out of the city and return to the camp." ”

Xuan Ye got up and went to the door: "Who alarmed the Empress Dowager?" ”

The voice of the person outside the door trembled: "The slave, the slave doesn't know, it is Manager Li who explains the slave like this." ”

Ling Zhao walked over with his shoes and shook his head again and again: "Your Majesty, no, it's not safe for you to stay in the palace, the epidemic in the palace hasn't been lifted yet, big brother."

Xuan Ye said: "Brother has fallen so many people, but you are fine in the palace, I am here, I must be safe." In fact, I also have some scruples, and I will go back when I come, lest I bring out something that will harm the imperial grandmother, and since the imperial grandmother has a will, then I will not leave. I am here, you all have the backbone, and the disease will always pass, but there can be chaos in the palace, let alone chaos in the capital. ”

"Your Majesty, Your Body"

"Don't worry, if it weren't for the Tai Hospital's way to deal with it, I wouldn't have taken any risks, although" Xuan Ye looked at Ling Zhao gently, "Although I'm worried about you, but Ling Zhao, don't blame me, if I wasn't sure, maybe I wouldn't have come to see you." ”

Ling Zhao shook his head, his eyes full of affection: "Isn't the emperor here?" You're coming. ”

In the blink of an eye, two days have passed, and under the effect of the prescription of the Tai Hospital, the epidemic has eased, and the eldest brother has also lost his fever, but he is too weak and still unconscious.

The people who are infected in the palace are either sent out of the palace, or sent to one place for treatment, and the rest of the places are sprinkled and fumigated, and Zhong Cui Palace attaches great importance to it.

Hui Concubine died of the epidemic and was quickly cremated, and after Zhong Cui Palace was washed up and down, Xuan Ye ordered someone to set up a mourning hall for her in the main hall, and the funeral ceremony was discussed after the epidemic was lifted.

In the capital, the imperial court issued prescriptions, allocated funds to buy medicinal materials from medicinal material dealers and gave them to the people, treating those who were sick, and preventing diseases if they were not sick, and the people gradually knew that the emperor was not outside the city, but returned to the Qianqing Palace early to preside over the overall situation.

The people's hearts were stable, the palace was stable, and an epidemic brought by pollen was quickly controlled.

The eunuchs and palace maids who died in the palace, the Internal Affairs Office will clean up the aftermath for them and compassionate their families, and the most regrettable thing is that the young concubine Hui did not escape.

The imperial physician reported to the emperor about the treatment of Hui Concubine, saying that she had a strong liver fire, and after being infected, the evil wind entered the body, and there was no doubt that the fire was cooking, and finally failed to find the most effective prescription in time for the imperial hospital.

"What did she say before she died?" Xuan Ye's expression was indifferent, rather than being sad for Hui Concubine, what he had to think about next was how to give Horqin an explanation.

The aunts will inevitably understand him, but it is also the aunts who are facing the pressure of the Mongolian nobles there, and Xuan Ye feels sorry for them.

The "minister" doctor seemed to be embarrassed and hesitated, "The Emperor"

"Say, it's Concubine Hui's last words, no matter what she says, I will forgive you for your innocence." Xuan Ye said, "But after today, you can't mention half a word, the people in the Tai Hospital know best what it means to be tight-lipped, you naturally understand." ”

The imperial doctor clenched his fists and bowed and said: "If you go back to the emperor, when Weichen asked Hui Concubine Niangniang, Hui Concubine Niangniang asked Weichen if she was dying." Wei Chen said some reassuring words, Hui Concubine Niangniang said to Wei Chen, if you see the emperor later, please Wei Chen to convey it on her behalf, Hui Concubine implore the emperor not to punish the minions of Zhong Cui Palace, because those people are the best people in this Forbidden City. ”

Xuan Ye's eyes were cold: "I will do what she wants, but these words, this is the end, remember?" ”

He didn't want his grandmother to hear this, he didn't want his grandmother to feel guilty, as for Hui Concubine, Xuan Ye felt that he was very cruel, he felt sorry for a young and fresh life, but he didn't feel that he was sorry for her.

Five days later, the capital gradually stabilized, but just in case, the Empress Dowager and her entourage moved to Nanyuan to live temporarily, and they were not in a hurry to return to the palace.

On this day, Fuquan entered the palace, he was going to Xiaoling with the holy car, when the news of the epidemic came in Beijing, he was going to the next stop to check everything in the palace, who knew that the next day I learned that the emperor had gone back.

When he returned and the emperor entered the city again, he had to stay outside the city and serve his grandmother.

After the courtesy of the monarch and the minister, it was the brothers who spoke, and Fuquan shouted: "Your Majesty, the imperial grandmother scolds me every day and asks me why I don't stop you, you say that I can't talk back and say that the imperial grandmother is confused, and when you enter the palace, the minister is still on the way back." The imperial grandmother is worried about your body, and she fidgets every day, and she gets angry when she sees me, and she wrongs me."

Xuan Ye sneered: "It's hard second brother." ”

Fuquan said: "Your Majesty, just beg you, don't do such a risky thing in the future." ”

Xuan Ye smiled faintly: "The Tai Hospital said that the epidemic may be caused by inhaling pollen, before I returned to Beijing, it rained in the capital for half a day, and the pollen flying in the air was washed away, plus the Tai Doctor found a way to deal with it, I knew that it was foolproof, so I would return to the palace." ”

Fuquan coughed dryly: "Your Majesty, the minister has a saying, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

Xuan Ye said angrily: "Grandmother Huang is the most annoying of these words, you still don't change them?" “

Fuquan smiled and said, "Your Majesty, are you in a hurry to return to the palace, are you worried about Concubine Zhao?" ”

At the back door of the main hall of Qianqing Palace, Ling Zhao was alone with a freshly stewed bird's nest pear, wanting to give it to Xuan Ye to moisten his throat.

In the past few days, she has come from the back door like this, Xuan Ye is not annoyed when he sees her, whether it is to send tea or snacks, the emperor will stop to eat a few bites, take a break, and the two of them will say a few words.

Ling Zhao didn't entangle, and said a few words and left, but it was rare to have such an opportunity, she could come in from the west gate of Kunning Palace generously, and pass through the Jiaotai Hall without any scruples to take a look at Xuanye.

On weekdays, the queen is at home, even though the top few people acquiesce to her that she can take this road, but Lingzhao always feels that she will be watched by the queen, or there is a suspicion of provoking the queen, and she never dares or wants to.

When the epidemic passes, the queen will return to the palace, and when Hesheri Shushu comes back, she can't come, so in the past few days, Lingzhao has changed tricks to stew and nourish Xuanye, and every day is almost at this hour.

Unexpectedly, today, Prince Yu came.

Ling Zhao was about to turn around and leave, but when she heard Prince Yu's words, she involuntarily stopped, and her heart jumped suddenly.

"For Concubine Zhao." In the main hall, Xuan Ye's voice came, and the corners of Lingzhao's mouth rose, full of joy, but the emperor said next, "I don't want her to be angry with the queen because of this, and she pushed the boat down the river and put the guilt on the queen's head because of the previous incident with the concubine, and I don't want to have a second time." ”

Fuquan said: "E-Niang is still haunted by it, and I feel that she is sorry for the emperor and the emperor's grandmother. ”

Xuan Ye said: "It has nothing to do with the concubine, it is the troubled person who embarrasses her, and Concubine Zhao and Ji Bilong are to blame." This time, the same is true, Concubine Zhao loves to drill the horns of the bull, it is easy to think about it, she will resent why she left her alone in the palace. I returned to the palace, naturally for the sake of the world and the people, and took care of her emotions by the way. ”

At the back door of the main hall, Lingzhao was holding a bird's nest Sydney, how did he come, how did he go back, Dongyun was still gossiping with the eunuchs of Jiaotai Palace, and when he saw that the master came out, he greeted him with joy.

Ling Zhao said: "The emperor is busy, let's go back first." ”

Dongyun took the soup cup: "The slave maid takes a small fire and warms it." ”

But Lingzhao didn't say anything, and walked away without looking back.

In the main hall of Qianqing Palace, Fu Quan retreated, Xuan Ye looked at the Western clock beside him, it happened to be the time when Lingzhao would come from the back door in the past few days, he looked at the back door, his eyes were deep, and he seemed to be thoughtful.
