Poisonous Peasant 'Concubine'

West Inner Palace, Bai Guifei's bedroom.

"Go, call Concubine Han over here, the seventh prince is definitely not suffering from chickenpox, Concubine Han may know a thing or two."

Returning to the palace, Concubine Bai was so gentle and kind, her face was as handsome as Chu Yunhan's, full of suspicion and wisdom, even Yan Shengrui went out in person, but it was just chickenpox?Ghosts would not believe it, and the emperor, he used to support the Xiao family, and he was not as nervous as he is today when he was in favor of the eldest prince. For the seventh prince, he cared a little too much. Could it be that he has already decided to make the seventh prince the crown prince? ?

Thinking of this possibility, Concubine Bai couldn't help but look even more ugly. Anyone can ascend to the throne, but Chu Yunhan's son can't.

An old eunuch who was serving him pointedly said that even if they had the handle on Concubine Han, she would not be able to submit, and went to the East and West inner palaces in private, so that people would surely die if they found out. Stupid to the point of that.

"She will come, unless she doesn't want the lives of her son and the Qian family."

Evoking a sinister smile, Bai Guifei said sinisterly, her handsome face was slightly deformed, looking unspeakably terrifying, the old eunuch didn't dare to hesitate any longer, bowed and retreated, Bai Guifei said again in a deep voice: "How is Xiao Shi? Have you contacted the outside world?"

Even if the Xiao family is abolished, the Xiao family and the eldest prince and the fourth prince are still there. As long as she finds the right opportunity, she may make a comeback at any time. Moreover, after fighting secretly with the Xiao family for so many years, he doesn't think she will just settle down Well, this time, maybe she was responsible for it.

"No, Mrs. Xiao seems to have resigned herself to her fate. She just knelt in the dilapidated Buddhist hall and recited scriptures. The Xiao family didn't contact him."

Another eunuch, who was younger, bowed and replied, since the day Xiao Shi entered the cold palace, they have sent someone to spy on him, and they haven't found anything unusual so far.

"The calmer it gets, the weirder it becomes. Send a few more people to stare at her. By the way, buy off the mother in Leng Gong, and find out if there are secret passages in Leng Palace. The eldest prince and fourth prince are still there. It is impossible for the Xiao family to abandon Xiao Shi. Maybe they have been in touch long ago, but we don't know it."

Concubine Bai Guifei ordered in a cold voice after pondering for a while, the Xiao family's tranquility is a bit too weird.

"Yes, concubine, the emperor seems to care too much about the seventh prince today, has he already decided..."

What the eunuch said next made Concubine Bai stare back, not daring to look directly into his cold gaze, the eunuch lowered his head in fear, Concubine Bai finally looked away: "That person should be useful, but this villain We can't do it, you try to let outsiders get in touch with the Xiao family, it is undoubtedly best for them to do it, after the seventh prince and queen are killed, our Bai family and the second prince will rehabilitate the queen, based on the emperor's treatment of the queen Love, knowing that killing the queen by mistake will definitely uproot the power of the Xiao family and the eldest prince's four princes. By then, Xiao Yu will be able to rehabilitate him, but he will not be able to make his second son a prince. After all, we should thank Prince Sheng , if he hadn’t cleared away so many obstacles for us, I’m afraid I would have to spend a lot of time trying to deal with them.”

That person is the trump card he prepared many years ago. If the empress hadn't been abolished many years ago and disappeared five years ago, the crown prince would have been in their pocket long ago, but it's not too late now, Chu Yun Han, he wanted to see how he would die in the end, didn't Yan Shengzhi want to protect him?He let him kill him himself, and when the truth came out, the guilt towards Chu Yunhan could send him to the west.

"Yes, the servant will notify Lord Bai immediately."

Seeing that the noble concubine of their family was finally about to get serious, the eunuch showed joy, turned around and was about to leave.

"and many more!"

Concubine Bai suddenly stopped him again, the eunuch turned her head strangely, Concubine Bai showed a cold expression, "Don't forget to let people keep an eye on that bastard Yang Zhaoyi, on such occasions as today, even Ben Gong and Concubine Ye would not dare Speaking of which, she, who has always been cowardly and incompetent, actually has the courage to stand up, if she hadn't put all her eggs in one basket and decided to block everything on the queen, there must be someone behind her, neither of which can be ignored."

"Yes"

After he said it, the eunuch also remembered that what happened not long ago in the main hall of Fuqing Palace, others can say that it was too abnormal to happen to Yang Zhaoyi.

"Go."

Concubine Bai waved her hand, and the eunuch bowed and retreated. After he was the only one left in the whole hall, Concubine Bai slowly pulled up the cloud sleeve of her left hand. There were bruises and purple marks on her fair arm, some old, There are also new additions, criss-crossing, covering almost the entire arm. Concubine Bai's slender and slender fingers rubbed those marks lightly, with a weird smile on her lips, Yan Shengzhi, the pain you inflicted on me, I will All the rewards will be on your most beloved queen, just wait and see, soon, your queen will no longer be able to maintain her cold and aloof appearance.

Fuqing Palace, the queen's bedroom.

Yan Shengzhi kept his word, and not long after he left, a thousand-strong Royal Forest Army came to report to Yan Shengrui. Yan Shengrui asked them to divide into two groups, day and night, and one group stood guard around Fuqing Palace every one meter. , another group of people was divided into ten small teams, and they patrolled intensively outside Fuqing Palace day and night. The dead soldiers beside Chu Yunhan and Xiao Qi.

Yan Shengrui personally sits in the outer hall, so it should be safe, while the inner hall is guarded by Chu Yunhan, no matter whether it is the imperial physicians or court ladies and eunuchs who have been locked up for no reason, they dare not have any opinions. Chu Yunhan ordered in front of everyone. , no matter day or night, you are not allowed to walk outside casually, three meals will naturally be brought in, and if anyone is found to leave without permission, they will be killed without mercy. Therefore, although the apse is full of people, few people can be seen. Some were just Chu Yunhan's confidant maids or Ling Jingxuan's apprentice doctor boy.

"How is Xiaoqi?"

In the evening, Ling Jingxuan, who had been injecting the cow pox with the virus next door, came in a little tired. Zhao Shan, who was guarding the bed, got up and walked over to support him: "After drinking the medicine prescribed by Master, the body temperature has dropped. I woke up once in the afternoon, and it wasn’t very long. I was afraid that Uncle Chu would be more worried, so I didn’t inform him. I just took the opportunity to feed him some white porridge. After a while, he fell asleep again. Just now, I used the water that Master sent over. When I wiped his body, I found that there were red rashes on many places on his body. According to this speed, it is estimated that tomorrow the rash will spread to the eye-catching places such as the face."

Smallpox is a difficult disease for anyone, even if he has learned medical skills from Ling Jingxuan for more than a year, the last time he was on night duty at the hospital, that man named Gong Changling was slashed in the stomach, and he even moved for him. The operation saved his life. In terms of medical skills alone, he is definitely the best in the entire capital except Ling Jingxuan, but when facing smallpox, he is still cautious and cautious, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.

"Well, you are doing well. From tomorrow onwards, he will no longer have a fever, his body temperature will drop rapidly, and his subjective symptoms will be relieved. At the same time, a rash with a centrifugal distribution will appear, that is, the head, face, and extremities are denser than the trunk. It is dark red at first. Spotted rash, it will turn into pimples after a few hours, today's prescription can no longer be used, before the vaccinia is extracted, we can only use decoction to delay the time for the spotty rash to turn into blisters, and then use a special potion to wipe it off Body, these days you and the doctor boy take turns to rest during the day and night, and someone must be by your side at all times, and you have to take his pulse every hour, as well as those outside, once a day, two words for smallpox Never leave this room."

Ling Jingxuan nodded. He was really tired after concentrating for a long time, but this is just the beginning. The next ten days will be the key, whether Xiaoqi can recover, whether there will be scars, etc. It all depends on their hard work in the past few days. As for the outside world, he doesn't want to worry about it for the time being. He believes that Sheng Rui and Yun Han can handle it well.

"Well, I know, Master, you look very tired, why don't we watch and go to sleep for a while?" Seeing his tired face, Zhao Shan couldn't help but suggest distressedly, others only see Master No one knows how good his medical skills are and how good his poison skills are. For those things, he has spent a lot of effort. Every kind of poison has been carefully developed by him and prepared through continuous experiments, even if it is a small bottle. , It is not as simple as others see.

"No need, I'll take a look at Xiaoqi, I have to go over and stare at the cow later."

Ling Jingxuan shook his head and stood up and walked towards the bed, but Yan Xiaoming's expression became even more ugly after only two or three hours of absence, smallpox is indeed a very domineering plague.

"Xiao Qi, hold on, Uncle Ling is already developing a special medicine to treat smallpox, and you will be back to health soon."

Sitting on the edge of the bed and reaching out to touch his pale and haggard cheeks, Ling Jingxuan said distressedly, in his heart, Yan Xiaoming is like his other son, he has always felt sorry for his birth, a prince The prince is destined to never have a happy childhood. Originally, he thought that as long as he was put on the throne, he would be able to control his own life, but he never expected... No, I can't think about it. When I think about those things, I fall asleep in my heart The wild beasts clamored for bloodthirsty crazily. This revenge must be avenged, but definitely not now.

"The pulse condition shows no signs of deterioration. You are doing a good job. If he wakes up these two days, feed him porridge and try not to get any meat. I will decide what medicine to prescribe after seeing his condition tomorrow."

Except for vaccinia, there is no other specific medicine for smallpox, and there is no specific prescription. Everything can only be used flexibly according to the disease.

"Uncle Mai Ling."

As if hearing his voice, Yan Xiaoming, who was in a coma, murmured, his lips squirmed slightly due to the high heat, and Ling Jingxuan, who was about to leave, sat back again, and Yan Xiaoming's closed eyes slowly moved. Slowly opened: "Ling, Uncle Ling... It's hard, it's hard, I'm uncomfortable..."

Watching him struggle to utter a few words, tears also flowed slowly along the corners of his eyes, he didn't know what was wrong with him, he just felt like his whole body was going to burn, and there was an indescribable itching in private parts such as inner thighs .

"Well, Uncle Ling knows that it's normal for you to feel uncomfortable when you're sick. Don't worry, Xiaoqi. Uncle Ling and Brother Shanzi will stay here with you until you recover."

Bending down and touching his face distressedly, Ling Jingxuan also had a hard time speaking, after all, Xiao Qi is only a ten-year-old child.

"Thank you... Thank you Uncle Ling, brother, brother..."

There was an ugly smile on his pale and dull face, as if he had thought of something, Yan Xiaoming kept murmuring about his younger brother, but he couldn't make it clear, his eyes widened in anxiety, his bloodless face stiffened He suffocated a little blood.
