Transmigrated into a Qing Dynasty concubine and asked the system to help me raise my children

They had the same illness, and the Fifth Prince was obviously younger. The chief judge of the Imperial Medical Bureau and others were on standby at Chengqian Palace at the time, so why couldn't they save the Fourth Prince, but the Fifth Prince survived?

The more Shunzhi thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt, so he went to Kunning Palace, wanting to ask Shen Jiang about it.

Shen Jiang had just coaxed the children to sleep and was about to return to her room to rest when she heard a palace servant report that Shunzhi had arrived.

She yawned casually and went to the Mingtang to meet Shunzhi.

Shunzhi paced back and forth, looking very anxious.

As soon as he saw Shen Jiang, he asked, "How did the Fifth Prince survive?"

Shen Jiang looked at him quietly without answering. Shunzhi talked a lot to himself, saying that the Fourth Prince was seriously ill, but the Fifth Prince was fine. Why did the imperial physician give the medicine to the Fifth Prince but not to the Fourth Prince? If the Fourth Prince took the same medicine, would he be able to survive?

Shen Jiang thought about when she was taking care of the Fifth Prince, all the useful imperial physicians in the Imperial Medical Bureau were taken away by Chengqian Palace, and the only imperial physicians she could hire were low-grade doctors.

A wave of malice surged in his heart. Shen Jiang smiled slightly and said, "The medicine was not given by the imperial physician, but by me."

"You?" Shunzhi couldn't hide his surprise.

Shen Jiang continued to smile and said, "Yes, we in Korqin have a secret medicine that can bring people back to life and cure serious illnesses."

Shunzhi took a while to find his voice and asked with difficulty: "So, you gave the Fifth Prince this kind of medicine?"

"Of course. Otherwise, how do you think the Fifth Prince could come back to life after being so seriously ill?"

Shunzhi felt pain and hatred in his heart, and asked with all his strength: "Then why don't you offer medicine?"

Shen Jiang smiled cruelly and said, "Because I only have one pill! I originally wanted to keep it for myself to save my life, but I am the one who raised the Fifth Prince, so I had to give it to him."

Shunzhi rushed to her, grabbed her collar, and asked loudly: "Why didn't you give it to the Fourth Prince? Why didn't you save the Fourth Prince!"

"Why should I save the Fourth Prince? Is it because you have taken over my cousin's body and ruined my love? Is it because you want to destroy me and leave me alone? Is it because you disregard brotherly ethics and force him to marry Dong E? Is it because you are too partial and ignore other children?"

Shen Jiang's series of questions made Shunzhi pause for a moment, but he never reflected on himself. He had only one thought in his mind, that is, if this medicine was given to the Fourth Prince, the Fourth Prince would not die.

But what he would not think of is that the Fourth Prince would not die, but the Fifth Prince might die.

Of course, in his heart, only the Fourth Prince’s life mattered, and the other children did not exist.

Shunzhi grabbed Shen Jiang's neck with both hands and shouted, "I'm going to kill you!"

Shen Jiang unexpectedly did not resist. She even thought: Look, how much he hates me! He wants to kill me. If I am strangled to death by him, will this mission be completed?

The system was screaming in her head, but Shen Jiang didn't react at all until a small figure rushed out, punching and kicking Shunzhi, crying and shouting, "Don't kill my mother, don't hurt my mother!"

Shen Jiang looked closely and found that it was the Third Prince Xuanye who was only wearing pajamas.

How can we let children see such a scene?

Shen Jiang grabbed Shunzhi's hand and twisted it to the side. Shunzhi felt pain and let her go.

Shen Jiang gasped a few times, bent down and hugged the Third Prince. The Third Prince burst into tears and hugged her tightly, as if he was afraid that she would leave if he let go.

Shunzhi took a few steps back. The pain in his hand sobered him up. He stared at Shen Jiang for a while and said calmly, "I want to depose the queen."

Shen Jiang knew that this time it was real.

No matter how Empress Xiaozhuang tried to persuade and obstruct him, and no matter how the court officials tried to remonstrate with him, Shunzhi was determined to depose the empress.

In March of the fifteenth year of Shunzhi's reign, Empress Borjigit was deposed, five years later than in the previous life.

Shen Jiang was sent to Chuxiu Palace. The palace maids were packing up her things. Many of the things were regulated by the Queen, so she couldn't bring them. She could only bring things that were not so ostentatious.

She didn't care about these material possessions, but she cared about the children that she couldn't take with her.

"Ene, Ene, I want to be with Ene." The two princesses cried. The third prince also felt uncomfortable, with tears welling up in his eyes.

Shen Jiang held them in silence. Shunzhi would not live for many years, and these children must grow up safely.

She is now Concubine Jing. Although her treatment is not bad, it is still not as good as that of the Empress. Taking care of the children would be unfair to them.

Besides, Shunzhi did not allow her to take the children with her.

Shen Jiang opened her arms and held the Third Prince in her arms, and said, "Your father asked you to stay here and wait for the next Empress to arrive. But I guess there won't be a next one. You live well here. If you don't like anything, go to Chuxiu Palace and tell me. Although I'm no longer the Queen, no one dares to bully me."

The Third Prince nodded vigorously: "I will take good care of my two sisters and my fifth brother."

Shen Jiang hugged him and said, "You will definitely be extraordinary in the future."

She got up and left Kunning Palace and went to live in Chuxiu Palace.

As she expected, Shunzhi and Xiaozhuang clashed again over the choice of the successor.

Xiaozhuang wanted Korchin to send another noble lady, while Shunzhi wanted Dong E to be the queen. Neither mother nor son was willing to give in, and the selection of the successor was deadlocked.

The matter was put on hold, and Shunzhi and Dong E became interested in Buddhism because of the death of the fourth prince.

The two of them would recite Buddhist scriptures every day. Dong E set up a small Buddhist hall in Chengqian Palace, and Shunzhi would invite monks from the royal temple to come to the palace to preach.

There are two speculations about Shunzhi's whereabouts in history. One is that he became a monk, and the other is that he died.

For Shen Jiang, she would rather believe that Shunzhi is dead now.

But Shunzhi began to turn to Buddhism, and who knows, he might really become a monk one day.

Although Shen Jiang lived in Chuxiu Palace, she still went to Cining Palace to pay her respects every day, and went to Kunning Palace to visit her children from time to time.

Shunzhi seemed to be unwilling to do as she wished. He moved the third prince to the prince's residence, and gave the fifth prince to Dong E to raise.

Now that the prince has moved into the prince's residence, Shen Jiang can no longer visit him every day.

"Does the Emperor still debate with the monks every day?"

"Yes, I heard that the emperor has issued an imperial decree to summon eminent monks from all over the country to come to Beijing to debate scriptures!"

He didn't want to be a good emperor. He was obsessed with love at first, and now he is beginning to see through the world.

Shen Jiang curled his lips and cursed secretly: Even gold miners can't dig out such pure divine gold!

After complaining, she took some fried shrimps and prepared to go see the Third Prince.

Before I even left Chuxiu Palace, I saw a palace maid running over in a panic and saying, "Oh no, oh no, the Third Prince has got smallpox! The Emperor asked the Third Prince to leave the palace to avoid smallpox!"

Shen Jiang didn't react for a moment. It's just chickenpox! Why is he so scared?

System: "This 'pox' is not chickenpox, it's smallpox!"

Shen Jiang was stunned for a moment, then said seriously: "I will report to the Queen Mother immediately. I want to leave the palace with the Third Prince to avoid smallpox!"

But Shen Jiang didn't know at this time that a monk named "Xingchi" was rushing to the capital from Zhenhai Temple.
