After transforming into An Lingrong, he became the King of Juan and was crowned the Sixth Palace.

An Lingrong's heart trembled, and endless embarrassment and grievances mixed with guilt were wrapped around her heart like soft and tough silk threads.

She was not open and honest with him, so she couldn't answer such a question and didn't know how to answer it.

After a long time, she raised her eyes and looked directly at the emperor, speaking softly but firmly.

"I hope we will never deceive each other."

The emperor looked at her for a long time, hugged her gently and said, "With your words, I feel at ease."

He let out a long sigh, "Rong'er, I met Wan Bin today, and after hearing so many words from her, I have been feeling very confused.

Everyone thinks that I dote on Concubine, even Concubine herself thinks so, but in the end, how sincere are we? "

He grabbed An Lingrong's hand and pressed it against his heart. Through the soft clothes, she could clearly feel his heavy heartbeat under the interlacing traces of warp and weft.

The emperor was a little confused, "Rong'er, I know how to make a woman happy, how to make a woman love me with all her heart, but I suddenly feel that I don't know how to love a woman.

No one ever told me, and no one taught me.

I am born with a lack of love from my parents, but I don’t know how to love the love of a husband and wife.

Maybe because I don't know, the things I sometimes do that I think are good for you are actually not what I think. "

An Lingrong looked at him like a lost child, trying her best to find the direction she wanted to go, but she was at a loss.

She was speechless, she just hugged him tightly, looking for warm support with her physical closeness.

The stars are shining brightly, talking to each other.

Such a quiet time seems like it will last a lifetime.

But after today, the emperor is still the emperor.

In addition to not spending the night in Qi Guiren's palace, the Fucha nobles who had offended An Lingrong and Meizhuang would not miss it.

As a result, An Lingrong had to learn folk methods to completely erase the traces of the rich and noble people.

There is no way, no one can guarantee that the wealthy rich man who is not crazy will not be pregnant with more children in the future.

Since she couldn't start with the heirs, An Lingrong could only start with the private affairs of the two of them.

Before doing this, An Lingrong specially told Meizhuang to pretend that the princess was sick in recent days and not allow others to visit at will.

An Lingrong herself also took a break for a while in order to attend to Hongli's studies.

Without the competition between An Lingrong and Meizhuang, the noble Fucha got the queen's wish and began to stay with the emperor day and night.

As a result, she spent a lot more time washing every day. Sometimes, she didn't even care whether the water in the bucket was crystal clear.

She only thinks about how to conceive another child and bring glory to the Fucha family.

So it didn't take long for both the nobleman Fucha and the emperor to contract some strange disease.

This disease actually comes on very strangely. At first it was just skin itching.

The two of them didn't take it seriously, thinking that it was the transition season from spring to summer and that there was something wrong with the pollen they inhaled or what they ate.

But after a while, many red rashes gradually appeared on my body.

Large rashes covered the thighs, back, and chest. Soon the rash turned into blisters, each filled with pus, and then formed into large rashes that were unbearable to see.

And as the illness became serious and fevers appeared frequently, the emperor felt it was difficult to talk about it at first and was unwilling to tell the imperial doctor. However, he couldn't tell the doctor when he was so sick.

Of course, the first person to discover it was the rich and noble lady. In the beginning, she was able to stay by his side day and night, picking out the pus under the blisters for the emperor, and then absorbing it with clean cotton cloth.

But after the emperor became ill, she soon developed the same symptoms, and then she realized that those rashes were contagious.

Moreover, the noble Fucha had worked hard to take care of him day and night, and his fever was more serious than that of the emperor, so it was inconvenient to serve him nearby, so he moved to the back hall of Yangxin Hall to recuperate together.

As a result, even the Queen Mother became anxious and came to visit several times a day, but was stopped outside the emperor's bedroom by Doctor Wen.

Imperial Physician Wen said worriedly: "The emperor's illness started from scabies. It was originally the most common disease in spring and summer, but for some reason it started to attack now."

The Queen Mother held Zhu Xi's hand and asked anxiously: "What are the symptoms? Does it matter?"

Imperial Physician Wen hurriedly said: "The Emperor is afraid that he has come into contact with scabies and is feeling damp-heat evil. A red tongue, yellow and greasy coating, and a slippery pulse are signs of damp-heat poison accumulation.

When dampness, heat and poison accumulate, pustules will appear stacked up and fat and water will flow out.

Wei Chen has worked with colleagues from the Tai Hospital to draw up a prescription, but before, the emperor kept his illness secret and avoided medical treatment, and kept silent. But now, the disease has become a bit serious. "

The Queen Mother suddenly changed her expression and said sternly: "Who has been serving as a bed attendant these days? Take the stall in the guest room!"

An Lingrong, who was next to her, replied hurriedly and respectfully: "Your Majesty, I have read the records. Except for Concubine Chen and Concubine Hui, who each accompanied me once, they are all rich and noble people from now on."

The Queen Mother breathed slightly and said harshly: "Where is the noble Fucha?"

Su Peisheng observed the words and said hurriedly: "The emperor refused to ask the imperial doctor to look at him before, so the rich and noble people took care of him.

The young master has worked hard day and night, and now he has the same symptoms as the emperor, and is being nursed in the back hall of the Yangxin Hall. "

The Queen Mother calmed down a little.

"She has taken good care of her. It's just that the noble Fucha got the same disease as the emperor. Could it be that she passed it on to the emperor?"

Su Peisheng said hurriedly: "It shouldn't be like the symptoms that the emperor's illness occurred half a month after the onset of the disease."

An Lingrong looked at Dr. Wen and said, "You just said that the emperor's disease is caused by scabies. What is scabies? Is it because the Yanxi Palace is not clean that the emperor got this disease?"

Imperial Physician Wen bowed and said: "Scabies can infect scabies. It is also possible that people with scabies can suffer from this symptom because the emperor has come into contact with things used by them, or the emperor has directly touched a person with scabies.

As for whether there is such a thing in the Yanxi Palace, it stands to reason that only the emperor and the wealthy nobles are sick, so the Yanxi Palace should be clean. "

The Queen Mother said in a deep voice: "Well, since everyone else is fine, Concubine An, it's important that we go see the Emperor first. The Queen has a headache, and it's hard for the Ai family to call her."

Imperial Physician Wen said hurriedly: "The Queen Mother, Concubine An, be careful. This pathogen is contagious, so you must be careful."

After that, he reminded the young eunuch to put gauze gloves on the Queen Mother and the Empress, and cover their mouths and noses with gauze scarves before being led in by Su Peisheng.

After entering, Imperial Physician Wen said again: "Empress Dowager, Concubine An, please don't touch anything that the Emperor has touched. All the ministers can do it." Seeing that Su Peisheng and the Imperial Physician were so serious, the Empress Dowager also knew about the Emperor's illness. Not very good, so he let Su Peisheng lead him in with a calm face.

In the dormitory, a layer of bright yellow curtains of red dragons and auspicious clouds hanging from the sky to the ground hung low, covering the day like dusk.

White curls of cigarette smoke were slowly exhaled from the mouth of the copper beast stove in front of the emperor's bed, which further intensified the gloomy and quiet atmosphere in the palace.

Occasionally, the emperor let out a groan or two and fell silent again.

Two maids knelt in front of the emperor's bed, wearing heavy white silk gloves, and gently tickled the emperor's itch.

Seeing that the emperor was sleeping, the Queen Mother signaled Su Peisheng to lift the quilt and lift up the clothes on the emperor's arms and legs. Everywhere he could see, there were large red blisters.

Under the dim skylight, they shone with a strange luster, and even worse, they turned into large red, plump, raised boils.

The emperor moaned vaguely: "Itchy...itchy..."

An Lingrong couldn't help herself and burst into tears.

The Queen Mother felt a little distressed after all, and softly called out: "Emperor, Emperor!"

The emperor did not respond soberly, but murmured drowsily: "Eniang, Eniang, it's itchy..."

The Queen Mother looked a little better and said bluntly: "Concubine An, did you hear what the emperor said?"

An Lingrong said: "The emperor has always addressed you as the emperor's mother. Now that you are weak due to illness, I am grateful for the Queen Mother's personal visit, so I am extra affectionate and call you my mother."

The smile on the Queen Mother's lips was as thin as the misty mountains in the distance, and her eyes lit up.

"It's difficult for the emperor to show his filial piety."

Her tone was no longer as eager as before, "Mr. Wen, what kind of medicine did you use for the emperor and noble Fucha? Is there any improvement?"

Imperial Physician Wen hurriedly said: "Back to the Queen Mother, Wei Chen gave the Emperor the Coptidis Detoxification Decoction to clear away heat and reduce dampness every day, and wiped the whole body with a potion prepared from genkwa, purslane, dandelion, wishful grass and alum.

The emperor's diet consisted of fresh fruits and vegetables, supplemented by white pigeon stewed with mung beans and astragalus stewed with lean meat.

The noble Fucha got sick late. Although he had more fever, it was not as serious as the emperor. These medicines were applied externally and taken internally, and they were already effective. "

The Queen Mother held the flowers on the temples of the Yaochi Qing Dynasty beside her temples, nodded and said: "You are the head of the imperial hospital, and you must use the medicine carefully and properly. The Ai family is at ease, so just take good care of the emperor. As soon as the decoction is given, you must personally watch it. ."

Doctor Wen agreed and went out. The Queen Mother turned around and saw An Lingrong just crying silently.

The suspicion in her heart dissipated a lot, and the Queen Mother unconsciously frowned and said: "Concubine An, you have to know that crying is useless most of the time. If you cry, the emperor will be cured, and the Aijia will sit down and cry with you."

An Lingrong hurriedly held back her tears and said, "Yes."

The Queen Mother frowned and said: "The Emperor's illness is not a serious symptom. Is it bad luck to have tears fall down so worthlessly?"

If the rich lady is like you, can she still serve the emperor until she becomes ill? I already fainted from crying. "

When An Lingrong saw the Queen Mother saying this, she wiped her tears and stopped talking.

The Queen Mother sighed and said: "You have such a gentle and gentle temperament, but you have no choice but to give orders to the Aijia.

Since the rich lady is already ill, the other concubines in the palace can take turns to serve her. Concubine Wan has just become pregnant, and Concubine Duan and Concubine Jing have children to support, so there is no need to come over. "

After the Queen Mother gave her instructions one by one, An Lingrong knelt down and said: "The Queen Mother is wise, I should not refute what the Queen Mother said, but the Emperor's disease is contagious. If all the attendants in the Sixth Palace are infected with the disease, I am afraid that all of them will be infected." Out of control.

If the Queen Mother feels that the concubine is still appropriate, and the concubine asks to take care of the emperor, she will definitely serve him day and night, never leaving him. "

The Queen Mother opened her eyes slightly, her eyes clear: "Really? You and the Emperor are so loving, how can the Ai family bear to be separated? It's up to you.

It's just Concubine An, you are also a human being. If you can't support it anymore, the Ai family will ask someone to help you. "

After saying that, the Queen Mother gave Su Peisheng a few more instructions before heading out of the palace.

Because the emperor was ill, the palace was suffocating. The queen mother rode in a sedan chair all the way until she arrived in front of Shoukang Palace. Then she took a deep breath, rubbed her forehead and said, "Bamboo breath, Aijia feels that her heart is stuffy. Turn around." Call the imperial doctor to come and take a look."

Just as Zhu Xi was agreeing, he turned around and saw Imperial Physician Jiang standing in the corridor. He smiled and said, "I was talking about Imperial Physician, but Imperial Physician Jiang came here right after me."

The Queen Mother heard the news and went to see Dr. Jiang greeting her politely, but she had a panic expression on her face. She couldn't help but frown and said, "What's wrong? The emperor is ill. You look so flustered and uneasy. Are you not afraid of violating a taboo?"

Only then did Dr. Jiang come to his senses, and hurriedly wiped his face with his sleeve and said, "Wei Chen is guilty, Wei Chen is guilty."

This accusation was completely unfounded. The Empress Dowager and Zhu Xi looked at each other and understood immediately, then said, "Get up. Ai Jia is about to ask you about the emperor's condition in detail. Is Doctor Jiang's answer to Ai Jia truthful?"

Doctor Jiang took a few steps forward and followed the Empress Dowager into the Nuan Pavilion. When he saw that no one was waiting on him, his expression softened.

The Queen Mother held Zhu Xi's hand and sat down, smiled steadily, looked at him and said: "Three souls have lost two souls. Is it because you know that Xiang Concubine sued you severely before she died?"

Doctor Jiang quickly knelt down and said, "Returning to the Queen Mother, I am a servant in the palace, and my master's orders are all fulfilled with all my heart and soul. I really don't dare to offend anyone!"

Zhu Xi poured tea for the Empress Dowager and put it on the table. He looked at Imperial Physician Jiang and said with a pursed lips: "Physician Jiang has been in the palace for a long time and has had both sides. It's not that he doesn't dare to offend anyone, but he is really good at distinguishing who can offend and who cannot.

Are you afraid that if Concubine Xiang finds out what you did to her, the Pope will blame you for not being cautious?

That really doesn't happen.

Dr. Jiang waved his hands in panic and said: "The Queen Mother's praise is unworthy of me."

The Queen Mother snorted lightly, took out a volume of Buddhist scriptures and flipped through it, and said casually: "You have to be more careful. If the emperor wants to blame you in the future, it won't be because of the things you did for him, it will only be because he knows about you." I’m also doing things for the Ai family.”

Doctor Jiang's face turned pale with fear, and he kowtowed: "The Queen Mother, the Emperor, and the Empress are all the masters of Weichen. Weichen don't dare, Weichen doesn't dare!"

It was quiet all around, except for the light smoke slowly exhaled from the Boshan stove on the red sandalwood table. The light milky white color reflected the kindness of the Queen Mother's face.

"In the past, Concubine Hua only wanted to have children. The emperor valued your talents, and Concubine An was willing to use you. It's a good thing that you are not buried with Concubine Hua like your brother."

Hearing this, Imperial Physician Jiang Nuonuo said: "Yes, the Queen Mother's original intention was not to hurt anyone's life. This was also the fate of Concubine Xiang and Concubine Hua."

The Queen Mother smiled gracefully and kindly, and said leisurely: "Perhaps their lives should not be like this. Don't worry, since the emperor knows your loyalty, no one can touch you in the slightest."

Doctor Jiang felt a little more at ease, and after thinking for a while he said, "Then Concubine Wan and Concubine An..."

The Queen Mother lowered her eyelids and interrupted him calmly: "Everyone has their own fate. Just do whatever anyone tells you, and don't pay attention to others."

Only then did Dr. Jiang retire. When Zhu Xi saw Imperial Physician Jiang leaving, he patted the Empress Dowager's shoulders and asked tentatively: "Does the Empress Dowager really ignore the concubine's matter?"
