The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 147
Elder brother's jubilant sound is very consistent with the bright and picturesque scenery in spring.

The empress was overjoyed, Wannai and Yuwen hurriedly knelt down and said, "Congratulations to the emperor, the empress is overjoyed."

The queen cast a condescending glance at the two of them, gave a faint 'hmm', and ordered the two to get down.

The emperor was immersed in the joy of being a father, and he didn't care about the two of them. He just carried Chenghu around the palace, until he was tired, and then he put him back in his swaddling clothes, and said happily: "Brother, what do you want?" Those who have contributed to raising the emperor's heir will be rewarded with two months' monthly salary. The same is true for the upper and lower palaces of Kunning Palace."

The people in the palace kowtowed to thank Shengen, but just as the words fell, they saw the nanny who had carried Chengqing out just now entered in a panic, knelt down and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, the nurse who feeds elder brother, they, she."

"What are you hesitating about?" Yuwen heard the nanny's hesitation, and asked anxiously: "How are the nurses?"

Nanny kowtowed violently, her expression seemed to be terrified, she waited for a moment before she said: "Your servant can't see anything, so please ask the emperor to go and have a look."

The crowd followed the nanny to the veranda where the nurse lived, and they pushed the door open to enter. They saw the three nurses paralyzed on the bed, their skin was festered and wounds were sticky, their hands and feet were twitching weakly, what's more, most of their eyebrows had fallen out. , leaving only a dark mark on it, it looks really creepy.

Seeing this scene, Yuwen couldn't help exclaiming, the queen looked at the few people with frowned eyebrows, and hurriedly ordered Qingyueping to retreat from the palace, and then went to invite the imperial physician.

Everyone withdrew from the verandah and returned to the main hall, the emperor's expression was gloomy and he didn't speak, why he had never seen the disease before, but Wanyan knew a thing or two.

It is recorded in the book that those who suffer from affliction have Rong Qi and heat the internal organs, and the Qi is not clear, so the nasal column is damaged and the color is white, and the skin is ulcerated.The wind and cold come in the veins and don't go away, so it's called wind-cold.

When I was in the mansion in the past, some servants contracted this disease. At the end of the disease, there was no clean skin all over the body.

At that time, doctor Tong Jia diagnosed this disease, and he ordered someone to pour a bowl of life-threatening soup to relieve his pain, and then hastily ordered someone to move out and bury him.

The tea sets, bowls and chopsticks he used when he was sick were all smashed and burned, and even the veranda where he lived was locked all the year round, and no one ever entered it.

This disease is fierce, one person's disease affects one room, one room's disease affects one house, and disasters continue without end.

There was silence in the hall, Wanna glanced at the nanny who was still kneeling on the ground and asked, "When did something strange happen?"

The mother thought for a moment, then answered faintly: "About seven days ago, Mrs. Li said that she had some itching on her body and slight numbness and discomfort in her limbs. But because she has always been in good health, she did not seek the imperial doctor to see her. Later, Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Chen also suffered from this disease one after another, she thought it was because her unclean body attracted the fleas, but just now when the servants went to see them, the three of them have already become like this."

"Nonsense!" The Empress snarled, frowned and said, "My brother's place is the most important boundary in the Forbidden City besides Qianqing Palace, the wet nurses are serving my brother, so you can't make any mistakes yourself, why don't you report anything wrong? "

The mammy was so frightened that she couldn't help trembling, she repeatedly kowtowed and begged the queen for forgiveness.

The emperor got up and glanced at Cheng Hu who was sleeping soundly, and then said softly to the queen: "Queen, please keep quiet, Cheng Hu has fallen asleep."

The queen took a deep breath and sat on the warm couch, and said lightly: "If any unlucky illness happens to the emperor's heir, I will ask your elder brother to go up and down to die!"

While speaking, the imperial hospital sentenced Fu Zhuo to bring two imperial physicians in. The three of them looked flustered and could not pay attention to salute, so they heard Fu Zhuo urgently say to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I have visited the nurses. It's a plague, there is no cure for this disease once it strikes, it is more violent than the epidemic! Also, masters, please move out of elder brother's place first, and then make plans!"

As soon as he said this, everyone was shocked.

The emperor hurriedly ordered the palace servants and the prince to move out of the palace together. Liang Jiugong stepped forward and hugged Chenghu and led the empress to leave. Yuwen also hurriedly hugged Chengqing from the mother's arms, and Chengxiang was the only one left. Yun Chan hurriedly carried her out of the palace.

When Wan Lai returned to the palace, she happened to meet Yun Shan who was about to go to her elder brother.Seeing that it was Yun Chan holding Cheng Xiang, she snatched the child from her arms, and said vigilantly, "What do you want to do holding Cheng Xiang?"

Wan Yu glanced at her, a suspicious shadow rose in her heart, and immediately asked: "Yun Chang is here, I ask you, what good things have you done?"

Yun Shan coaxed Cheng Xiang who was crying in her arms, and said with a muffled snort, "I don't know what your mother means."

"You don't know?" Wanyu sneered, and then walked towards the main hall with Yunchan: "It's best if you don't know. Take your children and don't go to Elder Brother's again."

Yun Shan handed Cheng Xiang to Ying Que to coax her, and after taking two steps forward, she asked Wan Yu, "What's the matter, brother?"

Wan Lai didn't want to talk to her at first, but seeing the child lying in Ying Que's arms kept crying, her heart softened, and she sighed: "Nurses are suffering from typhoid, you should quickly call the imperial physician and let Cheng Xiang take a look. "

After all, Yunshan used to serve in Niu Hulu's mansion, and she can still vividly remember the scene when the servant fell ill that day. After hearing Wanyu's words, her whole body softened and wanted to go to the end, and she couldn't help murmuring how could it be in this way.

Seeing her terrified and worried expression, Wan Lai thought that no matter how bad-hearted she was, she would not harm her own children, so she just took it as a natural disaster, not a man-made disaster.

After that day, people in the palace were panicked.

The empress dowager and the concubines in the harem burned incense day and night to pray for the health of the emperor's heir. Fortunately, the disease did not spread beyond the elder brother's house. Apart from the three wet nurses, only a few palace servants were affected.

Everywhere in the palace was filled with the pungent smell of burning vinegar and mugwort leaves. Chengqing and Chengxiang were temporarily moved to Qin'an Palace to be raised separately, and lamas and priests were invited to open the altar day and night to pray for the protection of the emperor's heirs. Seek good luck and avoid bad luck, don't get caught in this bad luck.

Because of his status as the eldest son, Cheng Hu had his own wet nurse to feed him.His wet nurse was not sick, and the queen took advantage of the momentum and begged the emperor to bring Chenghu back to Kunning Palace to raise her personally on the grounds that she was worried about others taking care of her child.

Yuwen and Yunshan ran to the Qin'an Hall lying ten times a day, just to stay by their children's side, praying for mercy from God, and not letting them contract this evil disease.

Although it was a natural disaster, this matter happened too strangely.

As the empress said, apart from the Qianqing Palace in the palace, it is the most precious thing that elder brother said.

There is nothing incomplete in the daily cleaning and cleaning of the disease. How could this disease occur in my elder brother for no reason?
And the wet nurse who fed Elder Brother got sick first?

As soon as the day dawned on this day, the eunuchs of Kunning Palace hurriedly went to the various palaces to spread the word, saying that the Queen had advanced the time for paying her respects, and she had something important to say to the concubines in the various palaces.

Thinking that there should be some clues to what elder brother said, Wanyu simply dressed up and hurried to Kunning Palace.
