Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 371 Gong Let the Emperor Sudden Disappointment
The wind, flowers, snow and moon all night are wonderful for the king, and the joy is endless.

Early the next morning, the two little concubines were stuck in bed and couldn't get up.

Zhu Qiyu had to go fishing by the lake alone.

Zhu Qiyu's intestines are full of regrets. In order to cope with the pressure caused by the return of the God of War brother to Beijing, his brother wandered in the Peach Blossom Garden all day long, lingering and forgetting to leave.

The result is good, now one favorite concubine is in confinement, and eleven favorite concubines are pregnant.

The other two concubines are young and still growing up, and they are reluctant to let them wash and cook at night.

So the majestic Emperor Jingtai, who can decide the death of countless lives with one word, can only practice the motto of "do it yourself, have enough food and clothing" at home every day.

After a hard work in the morning, it was easy to catch five big carp. Zhu Qiyu was lamenting that today's breakfast and lunch were all settled, when he saw Ningxiang trotting towards him in a hurry.

Zhu Qiyu hurriedly took the beautiful woman into his arms, and blamed with a smile: "What is my concubine doing in such a hurry, you see I caught so many fish, my husband will cook breakfast for you in a while.

Does Aifei want to eat steamed or braised?How about we cook carp in an iron pot. "

Ning Xiang took a breath, and hurriedly replied: "When is it, husband, don't stew, there is another accident in the palace."

"What happened again?"

Hearing this, Zhu Qiyu was a little confused as to what could happen.At the feet of the Son of Heaven, the world is bright and bright, why do things always happen?
Zhu Qiyu couldn't complain publicly, after all, Jinyiwei and Wucheng Bingmasi were in charge of his father-in-law and uncles.

Ning Xiang explained softly again: "It's Nangong's accident. Since late last night, the second and third princes born to Concubine Wan Chen have chest tightness and coughing at the same time. In the end, they even vomited and developed a high fever.

Emperor Gongrang, Empress Qian, Concubine Wan Chen, and the imperial physician in the palace tossed and tossed for most of the night. In the early morning, even Emperor Gongrang fell ill, and the symptoms were similar to those of the two princes, which were chest tightness, coughing, and vomiting.

The empress dowager was furious, and almost all the imperial doctors of the imperial hospital went to Nangong.

Now that there is a commotion in the imperial city, it would take less than a day for everyone in the capital to know about it.Husband, please think of a way. "

Hearing this, Zhu Qiyu nodded in praise and said: "It's rare and rare, when my concubine encounters an urgent matter, she still speaks clearly and clearly.

Don't look at Aifei who is usually delicate and soft, but when something really happens, she doesn't look like an ignorant woman from a small family. "

Seeing that Zhu Qiyu was still in the mood to joke, Ningxiang couldn't help giving her husband a coquettish look.

However, this resentful little look was not only harmless, but instead aroused Zhu Qiyu's affection and love, and immediately wanted to kiss her.

Ning Xiang hurriedly persuaded: "Husband, it is important for state affairs, especially for Emperor Gong Rang and the two princes. If you don't deal with it quickly, it may cause misunderstandings between the government and the public, and make people in the world think that you can't tolerate the emperor Gong Rang's family." .”

Zhu Qiyu couldn't bear his concubine's anxiety, and quickly explained: "Don't panic, concubine, it's nothing serious, no one can die. It will be fine in two or three months."

"Husband knows the cause?"

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "I know, the Nangong Palace has just been renovated. You don't know the craftsmen in the palace, they like to mix mercury, lead powder, cinnabar and other things together to paint the walls and beams and columns.

Mercury, lead powder, and cinnabar are all highly poisonous substances.

Our old Zhu's family is from mud legs, how can we know this.The great emperors of all dynasties lived in such palaces, and all of them are beautiful.

Concubine Wan Chen is very favored by her elder brother, she should have moved to Nangong to live with her elder brother.My lord is better, her two little princes are only two or three years old, and they are already weak.

In addition, the palace was tightly closed at night and there was no ventilation, so it was normal for the two little princes to be unable to bear it.

As for the eldest brother, although he is a grown man, he has suffered in the grassland for two years, and his physical condition is not very good.From the prairie to the capital, the bumpy and busy journey made him even more exhausted.

In addition, on the day of entering the city, there was another retreat, another riot, exhaustion and panic, and the body was in a very fragile state.

Then I went to Nangong, where I reunited with the previous favorite concubines a few more times, plus the stimulation of mercury, lead powder, and cinnabar.

Multiple factors are mixed together, and it is normal to fall ill. "

Ning Xiang nodded thoughtfully, and asked again: "Mercury, lead powder, and cinnabar are mixed together, and they are painted on walls and beams. Can this also harm people's bodies through the air?"

Zhu Qiyu nodded, and patiently explained: "Well, this is called volatilization. Concubine Ai is best at mixing spices, so I'll use spices as an example.

You put the face powder on your body, and after I stand a few steps, I can smell the fragrance. This is because there is a very small powder that evaporates from your body to the surroundings.

The same is true for those mercury, lead powder, and cinnabar mixed and brushed on the wall. There are also extremely fine powders that are volatilizing around.

People inhale these volatilized fine powders into the body through breathing, which is the same effect as taking poison.

It's just that if you drink mercury and eat lead powder directly, you will be on the board on the spot.And breathing these highly poisonous things brushed on the wall will take effect slower.

However, in such an environment for a long time, children are likely to die young, and adult men are prone to lose their fertility. "

Ning Xiang nodded repeatedly when she heard it, and praised from the bottom of her heart: "My husband knows a lot, so I will understand it when I say it this way. No wonder my husband doesn't want to live in the palace after being beaten to death."

Zhu Qiyu sighed: "Aifei went to prepare clothes for me, and then called Qianxue and Suxi up. Although we knew what was going on, after breakfast, we still had to visit in person, otherwise the government and the public would say that we It's getting colder."

Ning Xiang nodded and hurried to get ready.

Zhu Qiyu still insisted on eating breakfast, even if he could skip breakfast, but the two concubines are still growing up, so it's impossible not to eat breakfast on time.

Moreover, the struggle between myself and Zhu Qizhen's two families, the health of the body, is one of the most critical factors that determine success or failure.

Whoever's body breaks down is bound to be the loser.

After breakfast, Zhu Qiyu took Qianxue and Suxi with him, and then joined the concubine, and set off for Nangong together.In addition, by the way, Huang Pu, He Yi, and a dozen maids and servants were carefully selected.

After the group entered the capital, they separated.Huang Pu went to see Boyan Timur and Ama Sangchi; He Yi went to pass the decree to Cheng Jing.Zhu Qiyu brought his family to Nangong.

After entering Zhu Qizhen's dormitory, he saw more than a dozen imperial physicians gathered anxiously in the main hall, discussing softly.

Zhu Qiyu ignored them, and ordered Qianxue and Suxi to stay outside to 'rebuke' Wang Cheng, Shu Liang, Xing'an, Jin Ying and others, while he accompanied the concubine into the inner room.

As Zhu Qiyu expected, there was an unpleasant smell as soon as he entered the inner room. It was obvious that his eldest brother had vomited several times.

Zhu Qiyu secretly rejoiced that he had the foresight to not let the concubines come in.Otherwise, with this bad smell, he would have to vomit up his two concubines.

Empress Dowager Sun was sitting beside Zhu Qizhen's bed wiping tears at this time, when she saw Zhu Qiyu and Wu Taifei coming in, she immediately showed a bad look.

Fortunately, Empress Dowager Sun has been through the wind and rain for a long time, and she covered up her emotions in a blink of an eye.
