Leisurely Four Fortunes

Chapter 36

The cause of the matter is very simple.The palace is full of scheming and scheming all the time, especially the scheming against elder brothers.

At the end of winter in the 31st year of Kangxi, the emperor was at the height of his power.The elder brothers in the palace have not yet had wings, and the most favored ones are the crown prince raised by Kangxi himself, and the fourteenth elder brother Moer, born to the former favorite concubine Wu Ya.The crown prince's position is stable, and the Hesheli family is still a giant.The concubines knew that they couldn't move the prince.Now the fourteenth elder brother, who has lost the protection of his mother and concubine and gained the favor, has naturally become the thorn in everyone's eyes.

Although spring has already begun, the capital of the Northland is still howling with the north wind.Not long after the fifth elder brother got married, in the middle of the night, the ground in the elder brother's place was burning hot, and Yinzhen, after the cloud and rain, was falling asleep with Xiao Yi'an.There was a knocking sound, followed by the creaking sound of the door opening.Both of them were alert, and woke up in an instant, and it was the vigil's zither that came in.

"what's up?"

Xiaoyi stuffed a pillow behind Yinzhen's back to make him sit comfortably, and tidied up his clothes.Looking at the moonlight slanting west outside, it was already late at night.

"Master, Master, Brother Fourteen has a fever."

What!Xiaoyi was not calm anymore.Elder Fourteen is the future General King. He has been strong since he was a child. She had never heard of it in her previous life. Elder Fourteen had a fever just after the Chinese New Year.

In fact, it's no wonder that Xiaoyi remembers so clearly. In her previous life, she was devoted to fourth master.In order to win the love of Defei's mother and son, the most favored fourteenth elder brother is naturally her primary focus.Especially in the past few years when she first got married, although she was arrogant, she still cared very much about Concubine De and Elder Fourteen's good daughter-in-law.

Without further ado, the two of them changed into their clothes, and after a brief wash, they headed to Brother Fourteen's residence.Because Kangxi was afraid that his servants would treat his youngest son harshly, he personally checked all the servants and all the belongings in elder brother's house.In the past, only the crown prince had this kind of treatment, but now there are two more elder brothers, the thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother.But anyone with a discerning eye in the palace could see that the thirteenth elder brother was just a piggyback, and the fourteenth elder brother was the real master.

The dragon fire in Elder's place is very hot, and the decorations on both sides are also exquisite. The flowers here are still in full bloom in the winter, and the one who lives in the room is the favored elder brother.

When the two arrived, Brother Thirteen was guarding Yinzhen's bed.Seeing the fourth brother and the fourth sister-in-law, the red-eyed little guy seemed to have a backbone.

"Greetings to fourth brother and fourth sister-in-law."

Xiaoyi took a step forward and helped Brother Thirteen up.She lived with Elder Brother for three months, but she really likes Thirteenth Elder Brother.How similar he was to Hong Hui back then, he was very sensible at a young age and knew how to please adults.Moreover, none of their mothers are loved by their own Ama.

Although I know that my emotions are a bit far-fetched, but with the troublesome Fourteenth Elder Brother everywhere, the Thirteenth Elder Brother is particularly attractive.

"Thirteenth brother, don't sleep well in the middle of the night, why did you come here?"

"Fourth sister-in-law, I woke up in the middle of the night and heard movement next door. I only found out that my fourteenth brother was ill after I asked my mother, so I came to see him."

As he said that, he raised his worried eyes and asked cautiously, "The fourteenth brother didn't open his eyes and didn't talk to me anymore. Is he seriously ill?"

Xiaoyi followed Brother Thirteen's words and glanced at the bed.Sure enough, Elder Fourteen remained motionless, his face was flushed, and he was already unconscious.Yinzhen reached out his hand and lowered his head, the temperature of his hand startled him.

"Did you call the doctor?"

The eunuch Kangxi called nodded and said yes, "If you go back to Fourth Master, the servant has already gone to invite you."

Xiaoyi greeted the maid, fetched a basin of warm water to wipe the face of Fourteenth Elder Brother.After some instructions, the servants who had been in a hurry restored order, and the imperial doctor arrived in a hurry.

"Greetings to Siye and Sifujin, and elder brother Thirteen..."

"Stop being so polite, the fourteenth brother is unconscious, go and see how he is doing now."

The imperial physician stepped forward, seeing that appearance, he was startled.He rolled up his sleeves calmly, put his fingers on his pulse, and listened intently.When he got up again, the look in his eyes was already very serious.

"From my slave's point of view, the fourteenth elder brother is like this, I'm afraid it's a flower."

"what!"

Yinzhen glanced at the imperial physician and was basically convinced of his diagnosis.The imperial doctor on duty at night looks young, but his family has practiced medicine for generations.His Mafa used to be Li Taiyi in the Houjinhan Palace, and was deeply trusted by Emperor Taizong Wen of the Qing Dynasty.Ama has been taking the pulse of Empress Xiaozhuang Wen for a long time, and is now Huang Ama's imperial physician.And this imperial doctor Li, who is very young, is even more skilled in medicine. In his previous life, he was promoted to the chief of the imperial hospital because he accompanied the army on the westward expedition to Galdan within five years.

The young imperial physician was not humble and said nothing, "The slave looked at it, I'm afraid it may be a flower. However, this is a serious matter, and we should wait for the imperial physicians to make a decision before making a diagnosis."

"Su Peisheng, go to Qianqing Palace as soon as possible and report this matter to Huang Ama. You guys, go and find all the other imperial physicians."

After Yinzhen finished speaking, he looked at the fourteenth brother with some worry.Although the fourteenth brother in the previous life challenged him to fight in the ring, they are brothers after all.Seeing him lying on the bed in a small ball, thinking about the seriousness of the disease, he still sighed.

"Fourth sister-in-law, is the fourteenth brother seriously ill?"

Xiaoyi recovered from the shock, stroked the thirteenth elder brother's bald forehead to comfort Yinzhen, "Don't worry too much, the fourteenth brother is a person with great fortune and fate, and he will surely turn danger into good luck." of."

Polite formulas don't do much to comfort people's hearts.Fortunately, neither Yinzhen nor Xiaoyi are very sad about this matter, so these words are still effective.Yinzhen concealed the grief in his eyes, and told Xiaoyi:

"Whether it's a flower or not, you first arrange the people in this elder brother's office."

Xiao Yifu, who is known as the name, squatted down and looked at the thirteenth elder brother, "Thirteenth brother, the disease that the fourteenth brother is suffering from now, I am afraid it will be contagious. You go back to elder brother's office first, and wait for him to recover in a few days." Come see him again, okay?"

Yin Xiang is only five years old now, before he came to elder brother's office, Concubine Min told him to listen to his fourth brother and sister-in-law in everything.He has always listened to Er Niang's words, so although he is worried about the fourteenth brother who plays with him every day, he still nods obediently.Just as he was about to leave, there was a noise outside the door.

"The prince, elder brother, third elder brother, and fifth elder brother are here."

Now the thirteenth elder brother can't leave, the prince leads the way, followed by the first three five elder brothers.Since serving tea on the second day of their wedding, it was the first time for Xiaoyi to see several grown elder brothers so close.She sadly discovered the fact that among the five elder brothers, her grandfather was the thinnest and ugliest one!

"Fourth brother, have you reported this to Huang Ama?"

Yinzhen continued to reply, "Brother just now sent Su Peisheng to Qianqing Palace."

Yinfeng breathed a sigh of relief, took a few steps forward, and poked the head of the fourteenth elder brother.Xiaoyi looked at the prince in front of her. He had already grown in stature, and he wore a bright yellow crown like jade. Coupled with his status as a descendant of the Yuan Dynasty, he was indeed the best elder brother in the Qing Dynasty.Although the current prince has conflicts with the elder brother, it is not as serious as it will be a few years later. Now he is still a good brother who is knowledgeable, skilled in riding and shooting, and friendly to brothers.

From the corner of the eye, he glanced at the fourth master. In the previous life, when the prince fell into that situation, his own master also contributed, but it was relatively small.Seeing that his face didn't change at all, Xiaoyi silently put away the emotion in her heart, it's too early to think about it now, fourth master will definitely take care of the outside affairs.

When several people were asking questions, the imperial physician who had been hurriedly called up in the middle of the night finally arrived.After the consultation, all the old men with white beards shook their heads unanimously, the disease is indeed smallpox!
Now that the conclusion is drawn, there is no more luck.The emperor didn't have any decree yet, the crown prince promulgated a series of policies proficiently, notified Qianqing Palace and Compassionate Ning Palace, and asked eunuchs to report to the noble concubine of Jingren Palace; the fourteenth elder brother was closed here, and all slaves were only allowed to enter Not allowed to go out; at the same time, in the past few days, all the subordinates who have been closely related to elder brother have been restrained and are not allowed to move around at will.

Xiaoyi took Elder Brother Thirteen and stood behind with Tingfang and Shuying.The three of them looked at each other, and they all saw worry in each other's eyes.Especially Xiaoyi, since she came here, she felt uncomfortable in her heart, her right eyelid has been twitching, and it still hasn't stopped.

After a lot of tossing, Dongfang was slightly pale. Li Dequan walked over wearing stars and moon, and conveyed Kangxi's will, and moved the fourteenth elder brother to a palace next to Xianfu Palace in the northwest corner of the palace to avoid acne. Do everything according to the prince's orders.It is a great honor to avoid acne in the palace, thinking of my own comfort, and Huang Ama's love for Xiao Shishi, the faces of all the elder brothers are abnormal for a moment.

"The emperor has a decree, all the imperial physicians must rescue the fourteenth elder brother."

This kind of decree is too common, other than a fatal illness in the palace, it is nothing more than some empress begging the emperor for mercy.For this kind of errand that was either bad luck or money, the imperial physicians had long been used to it, and they knelt down to thank the emperor with a serious face, promising to live up to the emperor's kindness.

After the order is finished, all elder brothers and Fujin should also clean up, those who should go to court, those who should go to school, and those who should go to pay their respects.Xiaoyi was fine, so she simply took the thirteenth elder brother who was in panic and hadn't slept all night, back to her yard.After changing their clothes, the three of them had breakfast.She carefully recalled the expressions of everyone just now, but she really didn't find any clues.

But Brother Fourteen's smallpox is really strange.Since he didn't get it in his previous life at this time, it is basically certain that this time it happened because of man-made.A burst of heart palpitations came, and that bad premonition surfaced again, Xiaoyi was a little irritable, always feeling that something would happen soon.

"Grandfather, go to the study first."

Standing up reflexively, he straightened his collar.Xiaoyi took the thirteenth elder brother and sent the fourth master to the gate.When she came back, she was changing clothes, and casually said to Mammy Wu, "Son, I will take the thirteenth brother to pay my respects first, and you can ask Chun Xing, what happened to the fourteenth brother recently."
