Chapter Forty-Seven

Chi Xia sent Miao Miao away, turned his head and ran towards the Heart Cultivation Palace.

Everyone who serves in the Heart Cultivation Palace knows that this is the emperor's favorite, and they also know that she "accompanies" the emperor to work in the Heart Cultivation Palace every day. Seeing her running in a hurry, where would she dare to stop her.

Only Su Peisheng's little apprentice An Zi stepped forward and reminded in a low voice: "Niangniang, the emperor is still talking to the Panchen, and Prince Yi is also waiting inside to send the Panchen." If there is nothing important for the mother, it is better to come back another day. ”

Chi Xia frowned: "It's very important!" ”

Won't this man go back to Tibet later?

And she felt that Yongzheng should not tolerate "opium" for a day.

Anzi had never seen her face like this, and she was still hesitating, when she heard Yongzheng inside: "Who is outside?" ”

Chi Xia immediately said: "Your Majesty, the concubine has something important to report. ”

Yongzheng asked the Panchen to use tea first, while motioning to Yinxiang to check the situation: "Come in." ”

Chi Xia buried her head and walked in, almost bumping into Yinxiang who came out to greet her.

She has never been a person who is out of proportion, Yinxiang naturally knows it, seeing her ugly face, she wondered: "What's going on?" ”

Chi Xia couldn't explain to him in three or two sentences the ins and outs of opium and the dangers. simply walked directly to Yongzheng's side, bowed his head and whispered a few words.

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his head and met the Panchen's sight.

Chi Xia was stunned.

This is indeed a half-grown child, but his eyes are not innocent and clear at all, but an empty vicissitudes.

Panchen stared at her for a long time, and suddenly turned to Yongzheng: "This person has a deep relationship with the emperor. ”

Yongzheng's heart warmed. got up and took Chi Xia to his side: "It's my concubine Zhao, who is young and ignorant, so that the Panchen can see and laugh." ”

The Panchen didn't seem to notice it at all, and stared straight at them: "You complement each other, and you eliminate each other's strengths." ”

Yongzheng's polite smile froze imperceptibly for a moment, and he took a step forward and faintly stopped Chi Xia behind him.

Fu said with a smile: "Concubine Fang Cai passed by the Imperial Garden, and saw that one of your attendants fainted from a sudden illness, and she had already ordered someone to send her to the Tai Hospital for treatment." ”

The Panchen didn't care about this at all, and still looked at Chi Xia.

Chi Xia was a little empty by his chattering speech, after all, she did have some "secrets" that could not be used by outsiders, so she quickly lowered her head "shyly": "Your Majesty, the concubine will retire first." ”

She still had to hurry up before the Panchen left the palace and asked Su Peisheng to leave that attendant.

Yongzheng motioned to Yinxiang to help her: "I'm afraid that the Panchen attendant will not be able to act for the time being, so let Prince Yi select a few capable guards for the Panchen to escort the Panchen back." ”

The "team" of attendants of the successive Panchen Lamas, in fact, was led by the imperial court.

The Panchen doesn't care about mundane affairs in his daily life, and in fact he doesn't even know who the attendants he brought with him are.

He just nodded casually.

Yinxiang and Chi Xia quit together, their brothers have always had a tacit understanding, and naturally knew that the fourth brother let him come out first to deal with the "sick attendant", but he didn't know which one, and pulled Chi Xia: "Which attendant has a problem?" ”

"As soon as you see it, you can see that the man is very thin, like a human being," Chi Xia borrowed Miao Miao's description, "I think he may have smoked opium or something, and he has to leave people behind to figure it out." ”

Since the day Yinxiang succeeded to the throne of Yongzheng, he has heard of "opium" for a long time, but he has not seen it, and he knows that his fourth brother hates this thing, and he has no time to ask more, so he answered and went in person.

In the main hall, the Panchen got up to say goodbye, and Yongzheng personally sent people outside the hall.

The autumn breeze was getting cooler, and he was also a little cold, and as soon as he got out of the house, he couldn't help but itch his throat and coughed.

Panchen looked at the sky, took off the beads on his wrist and handed them to him: "I have heard a lot about the emperor's disaster relief along the way, and I hope the emperor will take care of his health and benefit the people." ”

The beads that the Panchen carries with him are very precious, and each Panchen has only one string. It is said to be able to cure diseases and evil spirits and keep peace, which is a bit of a "magic weapon".

Kangxi has been friends with the Fifth Panchen Lama for many years, and he has never received such a gift.

It was only the first time he had met the Panchen Lama, and he did not expect to receive such a generous gift.

Yongzheng was a little surprised, and solemnly took it: "Thank you Panchen." ”

The Panchen Lama bowed to Yongzheng again: "This is a gift to the emperor for the people." ”

~~~~~~

Chi Xia was inexplicably a little afraid of the Panchen's eyes that seemed to see through everything, and he didn't really want to go back to the main hall when he came out just now, so he simply entered the side hall and waited.

There was already a small stove in the house, warm and warm, Chi Xia was warm and comfortable on the collapse, and he was almost asleep in a daze, only to hear Yongzheng and Yinxiang come in while talking.

The cold wind blew in from outside the house, and it blew away the sleepiness at once: "How is it, what does the imperial doctor say?" Is it opium? ”

There are no outsiders around, Yongzheng is no longer the unfazed appearance of Fang Cai, and his face is very ugly.

Yinxiang nodded: "The Imperial Doctor just saw it, and it does look like a symptom of poppy addiction, but I asked the other attendants, and this person has not been seriously injured or sick." ”

There are no serious injuries or diseases, and presumably poppies or anesthetics will not be used to relieve the pain.

Nine times out of ten, I smoked opium!

Chi Xia was a little puzzled: "Aren't the Panchens all in Tibet?" If this thing wants to spread, it should first appear in coastal areas such as Guangdong and Fujian. ”

Yinxiang had obviously thought of this verse and asked the man, explaining: "He is indeed from Fujian, and he rarely goes home after being selected by the imperial court as the attendant of the Panchen, but a year ago, his father died, and he returned to Fujian to organize his father's funeral. ”

Chi Xia frowned: "That means that opium has appeared in Fujian for at least a year?" ”

It's terrifying!

Yongzheng was excessively pale and sat without saying a word.

Yinxiang gave Chi Xia a look and motioned her not to say anything yet.

While making tea for Yongzheng with his own hands: "Fourth brother, I have already asked people to go to Guangzhou, Fujian to check, maybe it's just a coincidence." ”

Chi Xia didn't think so.

Since Yongzheng's rebirth, many historical processes have changed.

It is also highly likely that opium appeared early.

But she also felt that Yongzheng's face was too ugly, and nodded in agreement.

Yongzheng coughed several times, his pale face was also dyed a little abnormally red, rubbed the corners of his forehead, and did not speak.

Chi Xia sat closest to him, feeling that the breath he exhaled was a little unsteady and hot.

She hesitated for a moment, seeing that he was really uncomfortable, she still touched his forehead: "You seem to have a fever, you have to pass on the imperial doctor to take a look, right?" ”

Yongzheng accompanied the Panchen to bathe and burn incense for three days, and he didn't have much rest, but today he really felt a little top-heavy, which made his head ache for a while: "Call Imperial Doctor Liu to come." This matter will be discussed tomorrow, and you should all go back and rest early. ”
