Chapter 122 Chickenpox
When Xiao Liuzi came back from the Marquis of Weiyuan, he hurriedly told his master about it.

Li Jialuo nodded and said, "I know about this."

Not long after Concubine Lin Zhuang passed away, the Queen Mother sent food boxes to the Wang family.

If it wasn't for Yang Fen being the commander of the Imperial Army, or if it wasn't for the guard who discovered it, he kept it in his mind, or it was just a random thing that was quickly forgotten.After all, such a thing is nothing more than a normal thing in the palace.

It's just that when Li Jialuo thought of the fifth prince who was gradually getting better, and the secrets she knew, she always felt that something was wrong.

Of course, it has been a few months, so why did the guard just remember this?

The news Chang Ning brought to him was that Yang Fen heard a few guards gossip casually when he was patrolling, and then he mentioned this matter. Of course, the matter he was talking about was just a small matter. For example, people from the Wang family are favored now, like the empress dowager, who still sends snacks to the Wang family from time to time, and that's about it.

Yang Fen overheard it by accident, and then treated it as an unimportant matter and told his wife.

However, Princess Changning felt that this matter was a bit unusual, and she had friendship with herself, so she kept it in her heart and told herself about it.

Something is wrong.

"Little Six, you arrange some people to inquire quietly to see if the Wang family has had a baby recently. Remember, don't let others know, definitely don't let others know! Don't get involved!" Li Jialuo ordered .

"Master, don't worry, the slave understands!" For the little six, it was a piece of cake for the little six, and he figured it out very quickly.

"A nephew of the queen mother in the royal family gave birth to a boy not long ago, but the child died before the full moon, because it was a child who died young, so this matter was not taken seriously in the royal family .” These days, it is normal for children to die young.

It's such a normal thing.

Li Jialuo said to Xiaoliuzi: "You did a good job this time, but this matter is rotten to the stomach, and you will treat it as if you don't know about it in the future."

"Master, don't worry, even the person who inquired about the news didn't know that it was the little one who inquired, but Madam, the Wang family didn't seem to hide this matter."

Of course I wouldn't hide it, I thought that the more you hide it, the more suspicious you will be, so it's better to be open-minded, and nothing will happen.

For now, although Li Jialuo has a rough idea in his mind, he is still not sure whether it is true or not.

Moreover, she will not tell it now, because there is no evidence at all.

But when necessary, Li Jialuo also has a winning move.

It doesn't matter if there is a fifth prince now, since the fifth prince is taken care of by Wang Shuyuan and the Queen Mother, he is naturally valued by others.Her children are not so conspicuous.

Moreover, the child will grow up slowly, and it will be more certain at that time.She was in no hurry.

The more chips you have in hand, the more secure you can be on the Diaoyutai.

So this matter, in Li Jialuo's heart, the wind passed without a trace.

A few months after the death of Concubine Lin Zhuang, Mi Meiren gave birth prematurely and gave birth to a daughter, the fifth princess.

And Mi Meiren made a mistake before, so when the child was born, she directly carried it to Concubine Yan Yi and went to Yinghua Hall.

In this way, the emperor has ten children, five princes, and five princesses, which can be regarded as more heirs.

The Queen Mother and Queen Zhao were very happy, and the pressure from the emperor's heir was gone.

Since Wang Shuyuan adopted the fifth prince, the Queen Mother no longer urged Wang Shuyuan to have a child.It was very peaceful both times.

The second prince lived in the Chonghua Palace, and was accompanied by a special nanny. His biological mother, Concubine Jing, was cultivating in the Jingxin Palace. The second prince was already over three years old, and it was not at all uncomfortable for him to leave his mother and concubine.

"Ah! Not good, the second prince looks like he has acne!" On this day, the high mother of Chonghua Palace went in to dress the second prince, but found red spots on the second prince's forehead and neck. .

She had chickenpox herself, and she was shocked when she saw it!
The second prince is already weak, if it is really acne, can he survive it?
Grandma Gao hurriedly reported to Empress Zhao, and Empress Zhao was also anxious when she heard this, so she hurriedly sent the imperial physician over.

This chickenpox is contagious, if it is true, what about the children in the palace, and the maids in the palace?

Empress Zhao felt that the matter was serious, so she quickly sent people to report to the emperor, and then led people to seal Chonghua Palace first.Anyone who has come into contact with the second prince is not allowed to leave Chonghua Palace.Ask carefully again, what has the second prince been in contact with in the past few days, and who has he been in contact with!
When the emperor came over, the imperial physician had already diagnosed that the second prince had chickenpox.

Nanny Gao knelt down to plead guilty, she usually takes care of the second prince well, even though the second prince is weak, as long as Yongxin takes care of him, it's not difficult.

Originally, she thought that she would take care of the second prince to grow up, and then become a king, and go out to build a mansion, and she would go out with her, so she could live a good life anyway.

So the one who didn't want anything to happen to the second prince was Gao Momo.

The second prince's biological mother, Concubine Jing, has been silenced and rejected by the emperor, and it will be difficult for her to be successful in the future. No one will compete with her for the second prince.The second prince is well, there are only benefits and no disadvantages for Nanny Gao!
"Has the second prince come into contact with anyone in other palaces these days?" The emperor asked himself.

Gao Nanny said: "The second prince is usually in the Chonghua Palace, and has never been out. Oh, I remembered, the day before yesterday, the second prince and the third prince met in the imperial garden."

"What?" When Empress Zhao heard that there was something about the third prince, she immediately became anxious. The child's body is very fragile. If the third prince is also infected, what should I do?Besides, there are four princes in Changchun Palace over there. If something happens to the two princes, it will be a big deal!

"Your Majesty, please ask the imperial physician to go to Changchun Palace immediately to diagnose Luo'er's pulse!" Queen Zhao said.

The emperor said to the people in the Chonghua Palace: "Take good care of the second prince, and make sure to cure the second prince's illness!"

Then I went to the Changchun Palace by myself, and I haven't received any news from the Changchun Palace.

Seeing the emperor coming at this time, Li Jialuo felt a little strange. Ordinarily, this time was when the emperor was dealing with government affairs.

"Your Majesty?" Before Li Jialuo could say anything, the Emperor said: "Qing'er has chickenpox, Luo Er had contact with him a few days ago, I asked the imperial doctor to come over to check the pulse, if there is no problem, it's best, if there is any problem, now Cure, the effect is better."

When Li Jialuo heard this, his face turned pale, and he said: "Your Majesty, well, please ask the imperial physician to treat Luo Er immediately, and Yuan Er!"

The emperor's heart is also up and down, he has only a few healthy princes, if something goes wrong, he really can't bear it!
By the afternoon, the people in the palace knew that not only the second prince of Chonghua Palace had chickenpox, but also the third and fourth princes of Changchun Palace were also infected.

Now, some people are secretly delighted. The reason why the imperial concubine is so favored is not because she gave birth to two princes. Now if the chickenpox takes away the two princes at once, what does the imperial concubine have to rely on? ?
So many people hoped that the two princes of Changchun Palace would both get sick and die.

This noble concubine has been here all the time, and the wind is too smooth, she must be unlucky.

Now, it is such good news that he can defeat a powerful opponent without resorting to any means.

But even if everyone is happy in their hearts, they can't show it, otherwise they will be gloating, and if they are seen by others and passed on to the emperor, they will go away without food.

When Yuan Shuhua found out about this, she immediately came to the Changchun Palace, but the Changchun Palace was already surrounded by people.

The imperial physician checked the pulse of Li Jialuo and the others, and said that they were fine, but the nannies of the two little princes still need to drink medicine here for a few days, if there is no problem in these few days, it means there is no infection.

"Your Majesty, the concubine is not going out, and the concubine has to stay here to take care of Luo Er and the others!"

Because Li Jialuo was not infected, the emperor and empress wanted to let the imperial concubine move out so as not to be infected, but the imperial concubine cared about the child in her heart and was unwilling to leave.

The emperor said: "There is the best imperial doctor here, and we also keep the palace servants who have already had acne. They will definitely take good care of Luo Er and the others. You go out with me."

Even though he is also worried about the two children, the emperor is still more sensible, and the concubine can't do anything inside, but it is possible to pass on
dye.

The emperor has a certain affection for the imperial concubine, and he doesn't want the imperial concubine to have trouble with her.

But Empress Zhao sighed: "Your Majesty, let the concubine stay here. As a mother, how can she rest assured that her child is inside?" If something like this happens to Ping An, she will definitely stay by Ping An's side and take care of her until she recovers.

Otherwise, it would definitely be very painful to suffer outside.

Li Jialuo looked at Empress Zhao gratefully. Seeing that the imperial concubine was like this, the emperor stopped persuading her.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the concubine will take good care of Luo'er and Yuan'er, and they will be fine."

For the people in the Changchun Palace, Li Jialuo did not ask everyone to stay. Those who have not had acne will be arranged in other rooms. After a few days, when there is nothing to do, come out again, otherwise they will lose their lives in vain. It's not worth it, the rest are all acne-prone.

After the arrangements were made, Empress Zhao and the emperor left Changchun Palace. The emperor asked, "Has your concubine ever had acne before?"

Queen Zhao said: "No!"

"However, the chance of your lord being infected is very small. Don't worry, the emperor. The noble concubine will be fine!" Empress Zhao said comfortingly.

"I hope so." The emperor said in a deep voice: "Let the imperial physician examine all parts of the palace. Before everyone recovers, no one in the palace is allowed to leave the palace. Let someone arrange the purchase."

That is to say, it is only allowed to enter and not to exit. Although the chickenpox, as long as it is treated properly, it will not infect others, especially, some adults have already had it when they were very young, so it is not terrible. What is terrible is that children The child, infected, will most likely die.

That's why the emperor is very anxious. These are the three princes. If they disappear all of a sudden, then the emperor's heir will become a problem again.

"Report to the Emperor, Empress, Concubine Jing, please go back to the Chonghua Palace to take care of the Second Prince!" Chunying had been waiting for a long time, and as soon as the Emperor and Empress came back, Chunyin hurriedly said that the Jingxin Hall where Concubine Jing was located, sent People came and waited for a while.

Empress Zhao was about to agree, when the emperor said: "Concubine Jing is in the most remote Jingxin Hall in the palace, how did she know the news so quickly?"

Even for the imperial concubine of Changchun Palace, it was only after they passed that they knew what had happened.

A concubine who is so far away, where did she get the ability to know so quickly?

It is absolutely impossible to say that there is no trick in it!
The emperor remembered that Concubine Jing was able to take oxytocin in order to make her son born on a good day, so what about the chickenpox this time?Wouldn't it be a trick?
"Check it out for me, check it out carefully!"

This time he will never let it go!

Empress Zhao also understood the emperor's words at once.However, Concubine Jing will harm her own child?
This is impossible, but in fact, it is really possible. Not all concubines in this palace are the same as noble concubines. They mainly focus on children, and it is common to use children to compete for favor!

In the previous dynasty, there was a precedent for the emperor to take advantage of the child's illness and let the emperor visit him.

It's just that if Concubine Jing really did it, she would be too cruel. The Second Prince himself is very weak. Can he save his life after such a toss?

But some people want to bet on this just in case, in case there is nothing wrong with the second prince, and then her motherly heart is discovered by the emperor, it is very likely that she will be moved from the desolate meditation hall to Chonghua palace Go, continue to take care of the second prince.

Because without the care of the concubine mother, the second prince almost died, but with the concubine mother's care, the second prince recovered.

Concubine Jing definitely didn't know, the emperor had known about her and the oxytocin drug for a long time, so the emperor immediately became suspicious.

When others saw her like this, they thought she was a loving mother, so they paid special attention to their children, and tried their best to find out about the second prince's news, so when they heard that the second prince had chickenpox, they immediately sent someone over.

In fact, it is just being clever and being mistaken by cleverness.

Empress Zhao directly tortured the people around Concubine Jing, and then asked about Concubine Jing's abnormalities.

In her meditation hall, not long ago, a person who had chickenpox really died, but it was relatively secluded, and no one was infected. The people in the palace pulled the palace man out and burned it, and it was over. The concubine secretly kept a handkerchief from that palace man. Concubine Jing herself had had chickenpox before, so she was not afraid. She took a chance and asked someone to give the sewing clothes she made to her son in Chonghua Palace.

However, Concubine Jing originally wanted to make Nanny Gao fall ill so that she would have a chance to come out, but who knew that Nanny Gao was fine, but the second prince had chickenpox because of his frailty.

After all, the second prince is his only hope, and it is impossible for her to take risks with this only hope.

However, Nanny Gao who touched the handkerchief was fine, and something happened to the second prince who had never touched the handkerchief. Concubine Jing was very anxious, but what was waiting for her was indeed someone brought by Empress Zhao aggressively to arrest her up.

Empress Zhao threw the large piece of cloth wrapped with the handkerchief at Concubine Jing's feet. According to Nanny Gao, Concubine Jing saved a piece of good material that she had saved so that Nanny Gao could take good care of the second prince. It was given to Nanny Gao. The cloth was not the material for wearing at this time, so Nanny Gao must put it away. The handkerchief was wrapped in this cloth.

Now that handkerchief was exposed, Concubine Jing knew that the queen knew everything.

She felt that everything in front of her eyes was gray, why was this happening?

She just wanted to continue raising her own children, but she just used a little means, but why did this end up like this?She felt that the abyss was ahead of her!
