Poisonous Peasant 'Concubine'

"Have you heard? The seventh prince is not sick, but infected with the plague. Princess Sheng went to the palace for medical treatment on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and she hasn't come back yet."

"Stop joking, who is the Seventh Prince, how could he be infected with the plague? Even if he is really infected, Princess Cheng is so good at medicine, she will definitely be able to cure him."

"You don't know that, do you? It is said that the Seventh Prince may have been infected with smallpox. Tell me, can a plague like smallpox be cured... No matter how good Princess Sheng's medical skills are, she can't be better than God. Have you all forgotten about Liang Cheng’s death due to the destruction of Tianhua City? In my opinion, this time, even Prince Cheng and Princess Cheng will have nothing to do.”

"No way, it's really smallpox? If it gets out, then..."

"smallpox.

In the past few days, such discussions can be heard in every corner of the capital. Common people often discuss the Seventh Prince’s serious illness in groups. At the beginning, they only said that he was infected with the plague. The common people out of love for the Queen With the trust in Prince Sheng's medical skills, most people believe that even if the Seventh Prince is infected with the plague, Prince Cheng can cure him. The plague was the smallpox that killed all the people in Xialiang City a few years ago, and everyone couldn't help but feel restless, because the spring was approaching, and because many students who took the exam gathered in the capital, those people even jointly petitioned the government, hoping that the government could Give the people an explanation.

This happened so strangely that any minister with a little brain knows that this is probably a series of conspiracies designed by someone against the empress and the seventh prince. The ministers of various parties secretly became active, trying to use this time to force the emperor to personally check the condition of the seventh prince. Well, if it was really smallpox, then not only the Seventh Prince would surely die, but even the Empress Cheng and others who committed the crime of deceiving the emperor by concealing it without authorization would also be convicted.

"Your Majesty, now that people are complaining, Your Majesty can no longer just sit idly by. The Seventh Prince has been seriously ill for nearly ten days. If it was really chicken pox, he should have recovered long ago. Why is it that the inside and outside of Fuqing Palace are still surrounded?"

"The voice of the people is unavoidable, Your Majesty, I hope your Majesty will put the people first."

"I hope His Majesty will put the people first."

Outside the imperial study room, all the ministers knelt on the ground densely, and the leading ministers were crying. After shouting in unison, a group of people collectively kowtowed to the imperial study room. Although the guards outside Immovable as a mountain, I was still shocked to see this rare scene, but in the imperial study room, Yan Shengzhi sat on the dragon chair with a dark face, and all the folded papers piled up in his hand were all stopped by him in the past few days The ministers' memorials, without exception, were all requests for him to investigate the real illness of the Seventh Prince.

"bump"

"Zhang Dezi, go and announce Lao Jiu to me."

Hearing the voices outside, Yan Shengzhi angrily swept the mountain of documents of the Dragon Case to the ground, his angry eyes were almost burning with substantive sparks, among them were resentment towards the ministers, and also displeasure towards Fuqing Palace, he It's not stupid, today is the tenth day since Xiao Qi became ill, Fuqing Palace not only didn't relax in the slightest, but became more tense and solemn. Even if he was killed, he didn't believe that Xiao Qi really just had chickenpox. On the other hand, he also knew The news of Xiao Qi's illness must have been deliberately done by someone. Regardless of whether Xiao Qi is plague or smallpox, his behavior of avoiding seeing each other is tantamount to admitting it. If this matter continues, I am afraid that even he will not be able to suppress it. up.

"Yes Yes Yes.

Knowing that this is not the right time, and it is absolutely impossible for Prince Cheng to leave Fuqing Palace, Zhang Dezi went out tremblingly. This matter cannot be kept secret for long.

The apse of Fuqing Palace.

"Jingxuan, I heard that you have developed cowpox?"

Hearing the good news, Chu Yunhan couldn't care less, and rushed into Xiao Qi's bedroom excitedly, Ling Jingxuan who was giving himself an injection nodded weakly: "Well, I have tried it myself, and we succeeded. , I have already taught Shanzi the methods of planting vaccinia and vaccinating them. They will be fine soon. Yun Han, you should also organize the people outside and get them all ready to be vaccinated. Next, buy time After two days of recuperation, I can almost recover, and I also need to rest."

After pulling out the needle, Ling Jingxuan lay powerlessly on the table. Zhao Shan, who was planting vaccinia for Xiao Qi, was startled. He quickly motioned for the medical boy to take over, and rushed to grab his hand to give him the pulse.

"Jingxuan, don't you also..."

Chu Yunhan also leaned over nervously, his wide eyes seemed to realize something, and his eye sockets became moist just looking at it.

"Master, you have been infected."

Zhao Shan looked at him with red eyes, but he didn't notice that his master was also infected with smallpox. No wonder he has been in a bad mood for the past two days. He thought he was tired. He must have been holding on all the time, right?

"It's okay, I've planted cowpox on myself, and I just got sick, I can recover after a short rest, Shanzi, go and do your work, I guess the sky is going to turn upside down outside, we have to hurry up."

Ling Jingxuan lay weakly on the table. Yesterday he found out that he was infected with the virus, but he didn't tell anyone. Now he is their only spiritual support. Even Sheng Rui outside is counting on him. If he falls, the world will But it's really going to be a big mess. With the temperament of his prince, he might do something. Fortunately, he developed the cowpox in time and planted it for himself. At most, he will recover tomorrow, even if they find out does not matter.

"Yeah..." Wiping away his tears, Zhao Shan stood up and walked towards the Ninth Prince, picked up the tools again and prepared to plant them for the Ninth Prince and other people who were infected with smallpox first, now believing that Ling Jingxuan is the only thing he can do.

"Jingxuan."

Chu Yunhan took over and hugged Ling Jingxuan's limp body, and let him lean into his arms as much as possible, his heart was filled with all kinds of complicated emotions, if it wasn't for Xiaoqi and him, Jingxuan would not...

"Don't worry, I'm fine, Yunhan, if you can, take me to another room to rest, I can't walk anymore, we still need a few days for Xiao Qi to recover, you have to persist for a few days, but I guess outside Maybe I can't hold on any longer, let Yan Er tell Sheng Rui that he can deliver a letter to Wu Yang, and don't tell Sheng Rui about my illness, I'm afraid he'll lose his sense of control."

Cowpox is indeed a special medicine for treating smallpox, and it is not fatal to the human body, but it will affect them to some extent. Ling Jingxuan is so weak that he can't open his eyes. He can only see his mouth squirming, and Chu Yunhan can't help holding his hand. Tighten up, even if he doesn't know the impact of cowpox on the human body, he can see how terrifying smallpox is when Xiaoqi fell unconscious two days before the onset of the disease, and Jingxuan is still able to stay awake until now, which shows how strong his willpower is. Tough, it was such a strong man, but he fell in front of Smallpox because of them.

"Well, I'll take you to rest right away."

Jingxuan is still persisting, what reason does he have to be decadent?It was not his turn to be distressed and guilty, Chu Yunhan sniffed his nose to force back tears, bent over and hugged Ling Jingxuan who was almost unconscious.

In the outer hall, Yan Chengrui and Zeng Shaoqing sat side by side, and Zhang Dezi, who came to proclaim the decree, stood tremblingly in front of them. Yan Shengrui looked at him with such a gaze that he couldn't speak, and Zeng Shaoqing, who was next to him, curled his lips in disdain, thinking about it with his butt. Knowing what he came for, Brother Da Huang disappointed them too much. It was his own son and queen who were suffering inside, and he couldn't bear it in just ten days?It's no wonder that an emperor's harem is in such a mess when he can let his ministers control him.

"If you don't have anything to say, get out of here!"

The longer the time dragged on, the more irritable they became. However, Zhang Dezi's appearance of not saying anything was simply testing his patience in disguise.

"Cheng, Prince Sheng, Your Majesty, please go to the Imperial Study Room."

As the emperor's first confidant eunuch, Zhang Dezi is always admired by others wherever he goes. Nobles, princes and nobles, who dare not give him face?Only Prince Sheng, in front of him, he did not dare to be presumptuous at all. He would rather bear the emperor's anger than face Prince Sheng. There is no one in the world who can scare him just by looking at him, except for Prince Sheng. There is a second one.

"Tell the emperor, the king is not free, if he wants to see the king, he can come here by himself."

He can't guarantee whether he can leave after coming here!

"Yes.

Even though he knew it was wrong, Zhang Dezi stepped back and continued to stand in front of him, fearing that he was going to pee his pants.

"Hmph, since he has decided to make Xiaoqi the crown prince, even if he guesses something or is forced by his subjects, he should use the imperial power to force him down. We are still working hard, why is he panicking? Could it be that the group of ministers kneeling outside the imperial study room really dared to kill themselves one by one?"

After watching him leave, Zeng Shaoqing snorted in displeasure, but he kept pampering Yunhan all the time, it was fucking farting.

"If he has that courage, he won't be the emperor brother we know."

As far as the common people are concerned, Brother Huang is indeed a good emperor, but from the perspective of the overall situation, he still lacks the unique power of the emperor after all. The two looked at each other with wry smiles. It's fine if it's useless, in that case, they won't have so many scruples.

"what's up?"

Yan Shengrui raised his head abruptly, and glanced at a certain direction with precision. Zeng Shaoqing followed, and Yan Er appeared and knelt down on one knee: "My lord, my princess asked my subordinates to remind you that you can deliver a letter to Xue Wuyang."

"Ok?"

If he didn't mention it, he really forgot about it. Now the situation is getting more and more tense, and the outside world has changed. What can he do as a foreigner to send a letter to Xue Wuyang?

"Wangfei, can you explain in detail?"

Zeng Shaoqing also frowned, they were a little confused about what Ling Jingxuan wanted to do, if he had already made arrangements, that would be impossible, since Xiao Qi had a sudden illness, they could almost say that they would leave as soon as they said it, and it was impossible to let him have time Arrange slowly.

"No."

Yan Er gave a serious look, Yan Chengrui pondered for a moment, then suddenly laughed: "Si, send someone back to the palace to deliver a letter to Xue Wuyang immediately, the content is as the princess said before, in this case, he is indeed the only one who can delay us. "

"Yes"

Yan Si didn't show up, and they just heard his voice. Before Yan Er got up to leave, he looked at Yan Shengrui hesitantly, wondering whether to tell him about the princess's illness.

"Anything else?"

Sensitively catching his tangled gaze, the tiger eyes locked on him firmly, Yan Er was startled, then lowered his eyes: "No, this subordinate is just thinking about what the princess is going to do."

After all, he still didn't say it out. It wasn't that he had betrayed his master, but that he knew his master as well as the princess. If he knew that the princess was sick, the master might not know what kind of madness he would become.

"Jingxuan is to relieve our pressure."

Yan Shengrui didn't think too much about it, thinking of his own daughter-in-law, even he couldn't help admiring him. When it comes to resourcefulness, he is undoubtedly above all of them.
