Chapter 287: The news returns to the capital
Ming Taifei? Virtuous concubine or Wang Meiren? It is also possible for Concubine Shu, after all, Concubine Shu is also very close to the back seat, if there is no fifth prince, Concubine Shu is more likely to sit in that seat than her.
She must catch the person behind her, no matter who it is, she will never spare the person behind her easily.
Concubine Jing gritted her teeth and said to Su Juan: "I know about this, you first let the nurse of the five princes go back and take good care of the five princes, if the five princes are well, I will be indispensable to her benefits, but if the five princes can't hold on, one of them who serves the five princes will be counted as one, and all of them will be buried with the five princes." ”
Although the person who did the work on the five princes has to be investigated, but now the lives of the five princes are more important, and only the survival of the five princes is the most beneficial to him.
The residence of the five princes was gloomy, and after the five princes' nurses returned to the residence of the five princes, in the face of the inquiring eyes of the palace maids, the nurse said with a serious face: "I have reported the matter to the mother, and the mother asked us to take care of the five princes first."
As soon as the nurse finished speaking, a little palace maid ran in from outside and said, "Mama, the door of our yard was locked from the outside just now. ”
When a palace maid heard this, she hurriedly ran out and tried to pull the door, but the door could not be opened.
The people outside the door heard the sound of the door pulling the door, and said loudly: "Don't bother, Niangniang said, don't come out for the time being, when the five princes are cured, you can come out, and someone will bring you food every day, so you can take care of the five princes with peace of mind." ”
Several people in the courtyard immediately cried when they heard this.
The palace maid who went to pull the door looked at the nurse of the fifth prince and asked, "Mama, what should I do?" ”
The nurse of the fifth prince was silent for a while, sighed, and said, "What else can I do?" Take good care of the Five Princes and pray that the Five Princes will recover as soon as possible. ”
The news that the fifth prince contracted smallpox soon spread in the palace, causing a great panic in the palace.
Although the Queen Mother has let people seal the Qingren Palace, everyone does not dare to guarantee that before the fifth prince was diagnosed with smallpox, everyone had no contact with the people in the Qingren Palace, even if they had not been in contact, had they been in contact with the people around them?
It's just that no matter how anxious everyone is, they can only stay up now.
A few days passed, and several palace maids and little eunuchs in Qingren Palace were confirmed to be infected with smallpox, and two of the palace maids who were served by the five princes were also infected.
But fortunately, there are not many of them.
As soon as the palace maids and the little eunuchs were confirmed to have smallpox, they were all taken away.
I don't know if it's because the people in Ruichang Palace don't have contact with the people in Qingren Palace on weekdays, or because Ruichang Palace has its own small kitchen, everyone in Ruichang Palace is lucky not to get smallpox.
Because the palaces are almost closed, after the news of the frontier reached Beijing, everyone in the harem did not know about it.
The smallpox of the five princes did not begin to recover until Luo Chengjing was about to return to the capital with the captured He Xiangming, and there were no other people infected with smallpox in the palace.
The Empress Dowager knew from the imperial physician that the current situation of the five princes would not be transmitted to others, and that there would be no other smallpox patients in the palace, so that the ban on Qingren Palace was lifted.
As soon as the ban of Qingren Palace was lifted, Concubine Jing just wanted to thoroughly investigate the matter of the five princes contracting smallpox, but she heard the news that the emperor immediately returned to Beijing and that He Xiangming had collaborated with the enemy and was captured.
When Concubine Jing heard the news, she immediately fell to the ground, and kept muttering, "How come?" How could it be ......"
I don't know if Concubine Jing believes that He Xiangming will collaborate with the enemy and commit treason, or if she doesn't believe that what He Xiangming did will be exposed.
Although there are some things He Xiangming has not told Concubine Jing, Concubine Jing is more or less aware of it.
It's just that she didn't expect the emperor to know about these things.
At this moment, the eldest princess rushed in from outside and asked angrily: "Mother, they all said that my grandfather collaborated with the enemy and treason, and the He family was completely finished, is this true?" ”
Concubine Jing thought that the eldest princess cared about her grandfather, and was thinking about how to answer the eldest princess, but she heard the eldest princess continue: "This matter will not affect us, right?" ”
Concubine Jing listened to the words of the eldest princess, and without saying a word, she slapped the eldest princess in the face.
The eldest princess covered her face, looked at Concubine Jing in disbelief, and cried, "Mother, are you crazy?" What are you hitting me for? ”
"Your grandfather loves you so much on weekdays, and whatever good things are sent to the palace, don't you feel ashamed when you say that just now?" Concubine Jing said.
Celestia remembered her good things for a moment, but it was only for a moment, and then she immediately became uplifted.
"My grandfather is good to me on weekdays, but I am the daughter of my father and the princess of Dayong, so I don't want to recognize a grandfather who collaborates with the enemy and treason."
"You!" Concubine Jing pointed at the eldest princess with trembling fingers, "Get out of here!" ”
"Get out of here." Princess Celestia said and ran out.
Su Juan saw Concubine Jing's chest rise and fall, and she was about to lose her breath, and while helping her to follow her breath, she persuaded: "Niangniang, don't be angry with the eldest princess, the eldest princess is still young now, and she will be sensible when she grows up." ”
"She's still young? She's going to be ten years old soon, but she's not small. Concubine Jing muttered, "Why is she so indifferent and selfish? ”
Su Juan sighed, who is to blame for the eldest princess, it's not that she didn't teach her well.
"Niangniang, now is not the time to think about this, what you should be thinking about now is how to save the He family." Su Juan said.
The emperor is about to return to the palace, with what General He has done, as long as the emperor returns to the palace, the He family is afraid that all of them will have to be guillotined.
Concubine Jing perked up when she heard this, "Yes, I want to think about how to save the He family." ”
But how can he save the family?
Concubine Jing thought about it, and felt that if the emperor didn't have enough evidence, he wouldn't have arrested her father directly, and it would definitely be impossible for her to retract her confession, so she could only ask the emperor for mercy and leniency.
It's just that with the emperor's attitude towards her, is the emperor likely to be lenient with the He family because of her?
Concubine Jing's mind suddenly became extremely clear at this moment, when the He family was in the past, when the emperor could use her father and the He family, the emperor's attitude towards her was like that, and now the emperor is even more unlikely to leave room for the He family because of her plea.
If you want the emperor to deal with the He family lightly, she can't beg for it, and there may be a slight possibility for the eldest princess to go.
Thinking like this, Concubine Jing wiped her face and said to Su Juan: "Where has the eldest princess gone, hurry up and find someone for me." ”
