In the Changchun Palace, there was a silence, and finally because of the excitement of the New Year, it disappeared overnight.

Last night, the emperor came dressed in stars and moons, thinking that the child was just a simple cold and fever, but who knew that the imperial doctor stopped him from entering the door, saying that he had a rash, chickenpox or smallpox, there was no conclusive conclusion, the emperor had never been infected with these two diseases, and he must not be approached easily.

The queen was naturally isolated, because the queen had intimate contact with the little prince, and she and the emperor were not allowed to meet, this Hongli could not do it, regardless of the imperial doctor's obstruction to see his wife, but the queen was very calm, no sadness or panic, sitting there quietly, looking at the house where her son was. But the more this situation is, the more it hurts Hongli.

Smallpox is a vicious disease, Kangxi Ye was infected with smallpox when he was a child, and was sent out of the palace by Emperor Shunzhi for treatment, but the child who was almost abandoned was strong and survived to become a generation of Mingjun, this night of anxiety, Hongli thought about the prophecy of the monks of Wutai Mountain over and over again, it must be the test of God for Yongcong, if he can escape this catastrophe, he will be able to inherit the clan and enjoy thousands of generations. However, if it is not smallpox, it is just chickenpox, it is the blessing of Yongcong, chickenpox is not such a terrible disease now, no matter what, it is stronger than smallpox.

The emperor and queen barely said anything, seeing that the queen was strong and calm, Hongli felt that it was superfluous to say anything, but he was by her side every step of the way, and even the morning court this morning.

If it were a weekday, the queen would definitely persuade the emperor to take state affairs first, but today it is not that she wants Hongli to be by her side, but except for her son who is separated by a door, she doesn't care about anyone or anything, and the calm and strong in the eyes of others is just that she has suffered too much and has already escaped from the world.

At this moment, Chief Manager Wu was looking outside the door, Hongli thought that a minister had to see him, so he came forward angrily and asked Chief Manager Wu to stop everyone, there is nothing more important than the Seventh Elder Brother at the moment, but Chief Manager Wu said: "Yanxi Palace has also passed on the imperial doctor, and the little princess also has a rash." ”

Hongli's heart tightened, but when he turned around and saw the queen fixed there like a Buddha statue, he remained silent and instructed Mr. Wu: "With the imperial doctor's careful treatment, all palace gates in the Forbidden City are under martial law, and palace people are not allowed to move around wantonly, and there can be no chaos in the palace." ”

Chief Wu took the order and left, the emperor turned around and walked to the queen's side, she was the most careful on weekdays, and she would see any movement in her eyes, but she didn't notice what happened just now, Hongli still felt that the queen was strong and calm when she came last night, and at this moment, she felt more and more that she seemed to be no longer in the same world as herself.

"Anyi."

Hongli shouted the queen's name, but the queen didn't react at all, but at this time, a doctor came out and fell to the ground from a distance, and the queen reacted all of a sudden, and she couldn't wait to rush up.

"Qi, Qi Emperor, the seventh elder brother is infected with smallpox, and I also ask the emperor and Niangniang to leave this place quickly and isolate for the time being." The voice of the Imperial Physician trembled, and it shattered people's hearts.

Hongli was covered in blood and veins, there was fire in his eyes, and he glared angrily at the imperial doctor, but his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and he couldn't open his mouth, but the queen's body shook for a while, suppressed the severe pain, and said tremblingly: "Do your best to save him, save the seventh elder brother, I will give you wealth and glory for generations......"

The bloodshot eyes of the imperial doctor are obviously not confident and panicked, there is no cure for smallpox, it all depends on whether God gives him his life or not, they encounter this kind of thing as a doctor, but if they want to be safe and sound, who would dare to think that the generation will be prosperous and rich, if the seventh elder brother has three longs and two shorts, they will also be counted as the end.

Hongli saw that the queen's body trembled badly, and hurriedly stepped forward to help, the queen's legs were weak and she was about to fall, and her husband held her body tightly, she grabbed Hongli's clothes in pain, and the teeth bit out blood beads on her lips, and a suppressed voice came out of her throat, she didn't dare to cry, she couldn't cry, her son wasn't dead yet, how could she cry.

In Yanxi Palace, Hongyan was nervously guarding the bedside, and Imperial Physician He was carefully examining the little princess, and it had been more than an hour since Hongyan found that there was a red rash in the crook of Fo'er's arm, and in this more than an hour, the rash spread rapidly, and when Imperial Physician He arrived, Hongyan was already panicked.

"Concubine Ling, the princess is chickenpox." Doctor He seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Is it chickenpox?" Hongyan was a little happy, but she immediately realized that chickenpox could not be careless either, and asked even more uneasily, "It's really chickenpox, isn't it, isn't it?" ”

She didn't even dare to say the word "smallpox", and Doctor He immediately explained to her: "Chickenpox arises urgently, and the rash will quickly turn into a round blister, with a red halo around the middle depression. ”

Hongyan didn't understand much, but she believed in Doctor He.

Doctor He said: "After two or three days, the blisters dry up and scab over, as long as they don't break through, they won't leave scars." The princess's health is fine, but she needs to be taken care of and prevented from being infected again, after all, there are still many people in the palace who have not had chickenpox. ”

Hearing that the child was fine, Hongyan breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly thought of the seventh elder brother and the eighth elder brother, she nervously looked at Taiyi He again, Taiyi He has been with Hongyan for a long time, and also understands the personality and character of Concubine Ling, so she understood the meaning in her eyes, and responded: "When the minister came, I heard that the eighth elder brother was also chickenpox. ”

"That'...... What about the Seventh Elder Brother? Hongyan's heart jumped suddenly.

"With all due respect, after the onset of chickenpox, it will quickly blister." Imperial Physician He's face was heavy, "It is said that the seventh elder brother has observed all night and has not yet reached a conclusion, so nine times out of ten it is smallpox, and the palace maid in Ningshou Palace has already determined that it is smallpox." ”

Hongyan shook her head again and again: "But last night, the three children played together, the eighth elder brother and Fo'er were both chickenpox, then the seventh elder brother must also be chickenpox, and the seventh elder brother will be fine." ”

Although Imperial Physician He has a compassionate heart to become a doctor who hangs the pot to help the world, but the doctor is also the calmest and most ruthless, he said seriously: "But the palace maid in Ningshou Palace is smallpox, and now you are still taking care of the little princess wholeheartedly, no matter what happens outside, you can't get out of the door of Yanxi Palace now." ”

It was nearly noon on this day, and the bright sun shone on the snow, reflecting a dazzling light, but even if the sun was warm, it could not melt the snow, and the ice and snow sealed the Forbidden City, but also sealed people's hearts.

At this time, the condition in the palace has been clear, but it is very strange, the palace maid and the seventh elder brother of Ningshou Palace are smallpox, the eighth elder brother and the little princess are chickenpox, and the Liyun next to Concubine Jia is malaria, and all kinds of highly contagious diseases suddenly spread in the palace, and I don't know where the head is.

And last night, Concubine Jia just breathed a sigh of relief after learning that her son was chickenpox, and she heard that Liyun was malaria, which was also a fatal disease, so she mercilessly let Liyun go, because she had touched almost all the things in her bedroom, Concubine Jia actually burned all the bedding curtains, bottles and cans in the house, and she naturally wouldn't know that it was Liyun who bought those rouge gouaches from outside the palace for her, which were sent by Mrs. Su, the biological mother of the pure concubine, to cover them in the clothes of people who died of a vicious disease for several days. Even they didn't know what kind of disease this thing was coming in.

The smallpox chickenpox is cold-tolerant, and the disease is most prevalent in winter, the seventh elder brother and the eighth elder brother and the little princess are young and frail, and Liyun is the first person to come into contact with those rouge gouaches, a malaria instead of smallpox, is already lucky, I don't know if I can leave her little life.

The most incredible thing is Concubine Jia, she is the only one who smeared those fat powders, and she was unharmed, Concubine Chun was quietly observing the situation outside in the Xianfu Palace, and when she learned that Concubine Jia was still alive, she also shook her head again and again: "It's really a bad person who lives for a thousand years, and she is fine." ”

At this moment, Baoqin already knew what the master and his wife had done, and asked tremblingly: "You didn't mean chickenpox, why is the seventh elder brother?" ”

Concubine Chun is also afraid, but what else can she do now, and when she heard that Concubine Jia burned everything in the house, she really dreamed and woke up laughing, and snorted coldly: "Then I don't understand, maybe the seventh elder brother is infected with smallpox himself, maybe it was passed on to the seventh elder brother by the palace maid in Ningshou Palace, it must be." Didn't the Fucha family build an iron wall for the queen and the seventh elder brother, and want to kill all of us who are concubines and princes, and what about the iron wall, it still depends on whether God gives him a way to live. ”

Baoqin didn't dare to look directly at the master's coldness, but she lowered her head, and Concubine Chun said: "I didn't want to tell you, but it's good to tell you, pay more attention to the outside things for me, I'm not afraid of you saying it outside, you are not afraid of death, just betray me." ”

Baoqin knelt down in a panic, and said continuously: "How can a slave betray the master, the life of the slave and the maid is yours, the slave and the maid...... The slave maid went to take care of the sixth elder brother. ”

Concubine Chun snorted lightly, but when it came to her son, she didn't dare to be careless, and it would take more than ten or twenty days for her son to be fine, so as to avoid this turmoil, she and her mother had decided that only such a thing could leave some traces, but the stakes were very large, fortunately, with the blessing of her father's undead, she did not implicate the third elder brother and the sixth elder brother. While instructing Baoqin to take care of the sixth elder brother, he looked up and saw the window flowers posted on the window for the New Year, Hongtongtong looked like a joke at the moment, and pointed coldly: "It's all torn, and it won't be used soon." ”

In Changchun Palace, all large and small doors and windows have long been pasted with window flowers with words such as auspicious Ruyi, Fushou Ankang and so on, this is Chinese New Year's Eve in a blink of an eye, who doesn't want to be festive, but this time is particularly dazzling, and the heavy solemnity in Changchun Palace is incompatible. But the palace people didn't dare to expose it easily, the seventh elder brother was still alive, and they couldn't do such an unlucky thing.

In the inner hall, the queen has not yet left for isolation, Hongli is also with her, the imperial doctor has asked several times to no avail, if it is not for the isolation in the Ningshou Palace, the queen mother will definitely send someone to advise, but at the moment, no one can influence the emperor's decision.

It's just that the emperor still guards a bottom line, and does not let the queen enter the door to stay with the seventh elder brother, the person who has not closed his eyes all night is already very weak, Hongli went to wash and returned, and the queen was resting on the beauty couch, but at this time she was standing at the table, and there was a painting on the table that she had not finished drawing, and the reason why it was left there was because the seventh elder brother was naughty and fainted a puddle of ink on the painting, and the queen has been thinking about how to integrate this ink into the painting.

"An Yi, why don't you rest." Hongli stepped forward.

The queen held the paintbrush in her hand, without dipping it in ink or polishing it, she looked straight at the ink with her eyes, and said: "Hongli, I have never asked you for anything in my life, because you gave me everything." But now I want to beg you, let me go and accompany Yongcong, I want to accompany him. ”
