Chapter 120 The Poor Ninth Prince
Emperor Anqing is already the year of knowing his destiny this year, but he has never accepted his old age, or every emperor, the older he gets, the more he refuses to accept his old age, and he can prove that a man is not old, even no less than a young man Yes, the best way is heirs.

The Nine Princes, the youngest son of Emperor Anqing, is only seven years old this year. It is said that he was born of the princess of the Southern Kingdom who was once ruined.

After all, when the Ninth Prince was born, there had been no heirs in Emperor Anqing's harem for many years. His birth proved Emperor Anqing's ability. In addition, the mother and concubine of the princess of the Southern Kingdom were said to be beautiful and beautiful, and she was favored by the emperor. The Ninth Prince himself is also handsome and lovely, so his favor is not so surprising.

But now, precisely because of this favored Ninth Prince, the Xu family is in a life and death situation.

Lang Sheng wanted to follow to the inner room, but was stopped by his father-in-law: "The inside is the residence of the empress and the prince, outsiders are not allowed to enter without His Majesty's permission."

Lang Sheng had no choice but to stop. He looked at Xu Qingluo, his eyes filled with unbearable worry, and his hands clenched into fists.

Xu Qingluo raised her eyes suddenly, and gave Lang Cheng a smile, a reassuring smile, which made Lang Cheng stunned.

The next moment, the girl turned around.

When Xu Qingluo was pressured by the father-in-law to the inner room, she heard women's cries coming from the inner room, saw the inner guards outside with a murderous aura, and heard a voice from inside. Rebuke: "One by one, you can't even tell what kind of disease Jiu'er is suffering from. After you have been treated, Jiu'er has become more and more serious. Every piece of trash, useless trash, I don't want you to be of any use. Get out and kneel there for me, think carefully about what happened to Jiu'er, if something really happened to Jiu'er, you all don't have to live anymore!"

People dressed as imperial physicians were kicked out with mournful faces. Xu Qingluo lowered his eyes silently, without making a sound, and turned sideways to make way for those imperial physicians who were punished to kneel.

The situation looked very bad, even the father-in-law's face tightened, but Xu Qingluo was relieved in his heart, it seemed that the so-called red rash was not fatal, as long as the person was not dead, everything would turn around room for.

The father-in-law naturally didn't know that Xu Qingluo was relaxed. Looking at the current situation, he hesitated for a while whether to let Xu Qingluo have a try. Xu Qingluo looked up at the other party's hesitant expression and knew. To understand the other party's thoughts, he leaned closer: "This father-in-law, wealth and wealth are in danger."

The servants in the palace are different from the maids. As long as the maids are not honored by the emperor, they can be released from the palace at the age of 25. If they are lucky outside the palace, they can get some good marriages. After all, they are the rules taught by the palace. Well, the servants are different. These servants are all rootless people, without wives and children, and they are not allowed to be released from the palace when they are young. Go out and starve.

And most of those who couldn't even ask for a favor and didn't have enough money around them were naturally sent to those places where the old eunuchs were placed to wait to die.

Therefore, as long as they are eunuchs, as long as they have the possibility of climbing up, most of them will not be able to refuse the temptation.

The father-in-law looked at the top of Xu Qingluo's head, and for a long while, listening to the louder scolding voice inside, the emperor had already started to vent his anger on the maids around him, thinking that he might be next to him too, if he didn't let the emperor relieve his worries.

Father-in-law gave Xu Qingluo a cold look: "Just wait outside, what happens today depends on your luck." This is a decision that Xu Qingluo will be brought in to meet the emperor and given to the Ninth Prince by the way. It's about diagnosis and treatment.

Just like what Xu Qingluo said, wealth and wealth are sought in danger, and my father-in-law also experienced the plague when he was young. Apart from saving two or three people with mild symptoms of the plague, as many people as they should have died, the father-in-law has seen Lang Sheng's memorial and the emperor's approval, and even his little servant is here today. When I went to the street to inquire about things, I saw quite a few people from Huai County. Therefore, it is true that Xu Qingluo saved most of the people in Huai County. During the plague, he saved the lives of most people. Her medical skills are actually more trustworthy than Xu Qingluo imagined.

Xu Qingluo didn't know what her father-in-law was thinking. She just saw that her father-in-law straightened his clothes a little after saying that sentence to her, lightly flicked the whisk in his hand, and drooped his eyebrows and eyes. He looked worried and anxious: "Your Majesty, I'm so young, please see me."

Xu Qingluo looked at the worried look on his father-in-law's face and entered the inner room, looked at the back of the man's seemingly calm steps in the panic, and sighed in his heart, the people in the palace are really good at acting, all of them Yes, you can change several faces anytime, anywhere.

There was a vague voice coming from inside, but she couldn't hear clearly. Xu Qingluo lowered her eyes more and more. Anyway, the other party will definitely summon her later. After all, the Ninth Prince is very important to the emperor, so many imperial doctors have come out No matter what, the emperor will never give up an opportunity.

Sure enough, after a while, Eunuch De came out: "Mr. Xu, His Majesty summoned you. Your Majesty is lenient. Don't slack off. If there is anything wrong, don't say that the miscellaneous family didn't remind you."

Against the suspicious eyes behind her, Xu Qingluo followed her father-in-law into the inner room step by step. As soon as she entered, she first smelled the smell of medicine.

"You said you could save Jiu'er?"

An old voice sounded oppressive. Xu Qingluo knelt down, put his hands on the ground, palms up, and made a big salute: "Mr. But if the little girl is to give the Ninth Prince a diagnosis and treatment right now, there is at least a [-]% to [-]% certainty."

[-]% to [-]% certainty, this kind of words actually means [-]% certainty.

Emperor Anqing frowned. He was originally dissatisfied with Xu's family, but now he heard Xu Qingluo's swearing words: "A little girl, don't think that you escaped from the plague by chance and treated a few people, and then you feel that you are something. The Xu family can be regarded as having been blessed by the emperor, and they are considered polite, but now that Jiu'er has an accident in your Xu family, and you are uttering false words, do you know that the crime of deceiving the emperor is punishable for several crimes?"

Xu Qingluo now knows why he was arrested and interrogated by the people from the Punishment Department. He made a fuss for a long time, just because of an accident in their Xu family?
Xu Qingluo felt chills in her heart, but her eyes were not of fear, but of hatred. She raised her eyes, and there was no emotion in her eyes, as calm and calm as water: "Your Majesty, the most important thing now is the Ninth Prince. Whether the daughter of the Xu family wants to be killed or punished, we will have to wait until the little girl has seen the situation of the Ninth Prince."

Emperor Anqing looked at Xu Qingluo in surprise. He was full of anger and wanted to find someone to attack him at any time, but Xu Qingluo showed no fear at all, which made his anger drop a lot unconsciously, and even more so. Because Xu Qingluo raised his head, revealing a moving and beautiful face, accompanied by those clear and calm eyes, the emperor suddenly thought of the cold and stubborn eyes of another beautiful woman many years ago.

"Forget it, little one, take her to the inner room. If you can really cure Jiu'er's rash, I will reward you heavily. If it can't be cured..."

The emperor didn't go on, but the following meaning was very obvious.

The first thing Xu Qingluo saw was not the Ninth Prince who needed treatment, but the woman beside the Ninth Prince.

"Poor little Jiu'er, he is still so young, and his body has always been very healthy, why did he get such a terrible rash as soon as he arrived at Xu's house?"

A woman dressed in luxurious clothes was sitting on the side of the bed, covering half of her face with a handkerchief, her voice was full of pity and pain, even though most of her face was covered, but listening to her seductive voice, looking at the From time to time, the face was exposed under the scarf, and one could imagine the face of this woman when looking at the well-made figure wrapped under the luxurious clothes.

"Xian'er, don't worry, I will definitely not let anyone hurt Jiu'er."

The emperor then came in, but he stretched out his arms to hug the woman's shoulders, and said coldly, the one who harmed the Ninth Prince?
Xu Qingluo's heart grew colder and colder. What the woman said just now had something to say, and something to point to.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you must find the person who killed Jiu'er. I only have such a precious son."

The woman whined, then turned and grabbed the emperor's hand.

Her face was finally revealed.

Xu Qingluo is also a rare beauty, but she has not grown up after all, she is just like a budding flower, but that woman seems to be a beautiful flower that has bloomed to its peak, just looking at it, I feel refreshed Move for it.

There is a character Xian in the name, if the mother of the nine princes, there is only one person, the unparalleled favorite princess of Zeng Nanguo, the current emperor's favorite concubine Xian noble concubine.

Xu Qingluo raised her eyes, and glanced at the woman with the most beautiful face again, but the next time she looked at the exposed patient who needed to be treated, the seven or eight-year-old boy was lying on the bed without the slightest anger. There were red pimples all over her fair little face, and some even turned into red blisters, swollen and shiny, as if they would all burst with a little more force.

The child who closed his eyes tightly was obviously in a coma, and the face that was so red and swollen like steamed buns that he couldn't see his original face was probably the Ninth Prince.

Xu Qingluo lowered his head silently, no matter how the Ninth Prince contracted this disease, and no matter how his mother and concubine's mouth was wrong, her face was mournful, her eyes were cold, and she was still in the face of the possible death of her son. With such a well-dressed appearance, what is her mental state has nothing to do with her for the time being. The first thing she has to do now is to eliminate all the rashes on Ninth Prince's body and bring him back. After all, she and everyone in the Xu family His life is still hanging in the hands of the emperor.

Xu Qingluo sat on the couch, and stretched out her hand to hold the little hand of the Ninth Prince, which was like a small face, also covered with red rashes. The crying concubine Xian just now didn't touch her from the beginning to the end. This is not a normal mother. will do.

Xu Qingluo estimated from the bottom of his heart, pressing his fingertips on the Ninth Prince's wrist, wondering what kind of rash on the opponent's body, but the next moment, Xu Qingluo's nose moved slightly, this familiar smell, and this time The smell was much stronger. She noticed the clothes on the Ninth Prince's body. The girl calmly looked away from the Ninth Prince's clothes: "The Ninth Prince has a delicate body. The rash on his body should be caused by allergies. I guess it is It was caused by contamination with some unclean things.”

Just as Xu Qingluo's voice fell, the noble concubine Xian's eyebrows and eyes were icy: "Bold pariah, what does it mean that the ninth prince is contaminated with unclean things? My Jiu'er has always been surrounded by trustworthy people. Careful selection, careful attention to serving, where would Jiuer be contaminated with any unclean things, even if there were, it was also contaminated in your Xu family. In the imperial palace of the capital, Jiuer has never had these problems! "

Concubine Xian had a trace of anxiety, worry and even panic in the depths of her eyes. Xu Qingluo's doubts arose in her heart, but she didn't argue with Concubine Xian. She just took out a pill from her bosom. The prince pinched his chin, and the pill fell directly into the boy's mouth.

"What did you feed my son!"

"Xu Shi!"

Concubine Xian and the emperor both looked bad, but there were probably two reasons for it.

Xu Qingluo's hand never moved away from the Ninth Prince's wrist: "Your Majesty, the pill can make the Ninth Prince's fever a little bit less, and I need to be quiet for the rest of the treatment without being disturbed at all."

On the bed, the redness of the Ninth Prince's flushed cheeks disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye. This was more effective than any hard work of persuasion. The more those imperial physicians gave the Ninth Prince medicine, the worse the Ninth Prince's body became. For a moment, the emperor's face softened greatly.

Concubine Xian turned her back to the emperor, and her face was stiff for a moment: "Your Majesty, my concubine is not good at medicine, and I can't do anything here. Instead, the treatment was delayed, and I want to go back to the Buddha to plead for Jiu'er." , do your best."

The excitement and weeping just now seemed to have disappeared. Concubine Xian is obviously very calm now.

The emperor didn't pay attention, but just shook the other party's hand: "Xian'er, thank you for your hard work, and you have guarded for a long time. I am here."

Xu Qingluo noticed the disgust that flashed in the depths of Concubine Xian's eyes for a moment.

"Your Majesty, you have to take care of yourself. If you hurt your body because of Jiu'er, a concubine's son, then the empress will probably blame the concubine."

Concubine Xian had guilt and worry on her face.

The emperor frowned: "As a concubine, she never even showed her face when Jiuer's life and death were unknown. Such a woman can also be called the mother of the world!"

He seems to be a little dissatisfied with the queen, but yes, no matter which stomach the Ninth Prince crawled out of, he is the emperor's son after all. The Ninth Prince has an accident, the emperor has come, and the queen hasn't appeared yet, isn't it eye-catching? ?

Concubine Xian has already left, and the emperor walked with Concubine Xian, looking at the emperor's caring look of holding Concubine Xian, he can't see at all that his son is still behind, and his life and death are unknown. The love for the younger son is just like that, Xu Qing Luo Luo looked around the room and looked at the palace guards who looked like wooden carvings, but did not make a sound, and took off the clothes on the Ninth Prince, and then took out the silver needle from his sleeve.

Lang Sheng kept guarding at a distance, watching Xu Qingluo being brought into the inner room, watching the noble concubine Xian and the emperor leave one after another, watching the maids in the court and the imperial doctor go in, and waiting for the sound of water being called inside, a bucket The bucket of water was brought in and brought out again. Lang Sheng had full confidence in Xu Qingluo's medical skills, but this was for the royal family to see a doctor, and he could be blamed for it. He was worried about Xu Qingluo, extremely worried, and cared about only one person Sometimes, sometimes, no reason exists.

There was deep worry and anxiety in Lang Sheng's eyes, but deep in his eyes, deeper and deeper, was a trace of self-blame and hatred. He blamed himself for not being able to protect her, and hated that he didn't have enough strength.

If Xu Qingluo is really involved, if the emperor punishes Xu Qingluo, what can he do?
He stood on the branch of the moon until the moon set and the sun rose, the door opened again, and the face engraved in his heart finally appeared.

Lang Sheng took a deep breath, and when he met Xu Qingluo's eyes, there was a relieved smile on his face, but something changed overnight.

-

"Eunuch, the Ninth Prince's allergies are indeed contaminated with dirty things, and the dirty things come from here."

Urticaria is the most likely to recur, and the infection is easy to diagnose and treat, but it is troublesome. This night Xu Qingluo kept giving the Ninth Prince medicine to induce treatment. He was exhausted physically and mentally, but he did not forget the business. Xu Qingluo handed over the clothes in his hands Passed over to the father-in-law: "This should be soaked with nettle flower juice, the taste is very light, but the nettle flower juice on it is very heavy, I don't know how to do this, ordinary soaking absolutely does not have such a taste." If it works, please eunuch give it to His Majesty."

The father-in-law took two steps back. Although the Ninth Prince was rescued by Xu Qingluo, the miserable appearance when he fell ill can scare everyone: "Ms. Naturally, I believe Miss Xu. This thing is a harmful thing, and it is also a rare evidence. Our family will definitely report it to His Majesty and investigate this matter! Your Majesty has already trusted the Ninth Prince, thinking of Miss Xu's hard work all night, and allowing her to Since I go to rest, I don’t need to go to see you again, and the reward will come naturally later.”

Xu Qingluo smiled and thanked His Majesty for his compassion, as if he didn't remember at all that the emperor almost ignored the indiscriminate punishment of the Xu family, nor did he remember that he was almost sent to the hands of those cruel father-in-laws in the Punishment Division.

Father-in-law signaled the little eunuch behind him to pick it up, Xu Qingluo looked at the little eunuch who didn't dare to touch it, and smiled: "Although this nettle flower juice can cause urticaria, not everyone will be fine if they touch it. , those people with hot and dry blood are more likely to be infected, as long as they don't touch their bodies, they are generally fine."

The little eunuch immediately covered his hands with his sleeves, and held the changed clothes of the Ninth Prince as if holding a poisonous snake.

"Laoer."

Lang Sheng held Xu Qingluo's hand.

The next moment, the man hugged the girl tightly: "I'm sorry."

At this moment, he has only one thing to say, he has always said that he wants to protect the girl, but whenever it comes to life and death, the girl always protects herself by herself, but he can only watch: "Am I very useless— —”

"who said it!"

Xu Qingluo muttered in dissatisfaction, the man's embrace, the familiar and warm breath made her sleepy, and she closed her eyes slightly: "With you here, I dare not do anything with confidence. I have a favor for you right now." help."

The man lowered his eyes, but the other party had lost his voice. She seemed to be asleep with her eyes closed, but the smile on the girl's lips seemed particularly reassuring.

Lang Sheng stared fixedly for a long time, and after a while, he stretched his arms and hugged the girl up, ignoring everyone's gaze, and walked in the opposite direction.

-

Xu Qingluo had a good sleep, and after waking up, he found out about the Ninth Prince's affairs from Baicao's mouth, which made the emperor furious, and thoroughly checked all the people in the garden, especially those who were with the Ninth Prince.

"A lot of people cried very badly, especially when they heard that they were taken to the face of that Mr. Wang of the Punishment Department. They cried very hard. Miss, it's a good thing you weren't taken there last night. There were screams, and some were dragged out with blood all over their bodies.”

Baicao was glad at first, but then she became scared, and her voice trembled a little.

"So did you find anything?"

Xu Qingluo asked.

"When I found out about the palace servants from the Clothes Bureau who came with the emperor, it seemed that the Ninth Prince said that he went to play in the flowers by himself, and I don't know how he got it. But where are the nettles in our Xu family? Didn’t you get rid of all those medicinal herbs you planted just to build the garden? It’s a pity that there are so many herbs. After searching the garden, didn’t you find any nettles? That Ninth Prince is really Yes, Miss was kind enough to save him, but he talked nonsense, causing us to worry for nothing."

Baicao was distracted by Xu Qingluo.

Xu Qingluo's heart was cold, but fortunately he had taken precautions in advance and explained to his father-in-law what was stained on the clothes, and asked Lang Sheng to check the flowers and plants in the mansion, otherwise, the Ninth Prince woke up. Said, plus what she guessed, I am afraid that if she really treated the Ninth Prince, the Xu family would not be well.

It's just strange that if the Ninth Prince wakes up, he should tell the emperor who made him wear that dress, and tell the emperor who arranged the recent meal.

Who can let the Ninth Prince help conceal it?

Xu Qingluo thought about all kinds of things in her previous life, and when she saw with her own eyes that Concubine Xian seemed to be enthusiastic about the Ninth Prince, but was actually cold-hearted, she had some different speculations in her heart.

If it is really what she thinks, then the Ninth Prince is really pitiful.
