The old man in the imperial city

When the emperor heard the news of Prince Xiang Fujin's miscarriage while paying his respects to the queen mother, he was as shocked as hearing that Huang Ama had a miscarriage.

He didn't feel scared until he returned to Qianqing Palace. This time he took advantage of the situation to create something out of nothing, so he was still careless.During the Yongzheng Dynasty, he had never heard of Prince Xiang having an heir, so he didn't think about it in this direction.If he had known this earlier, he should have waited until he had settled the person in the Prince's Mansion properly before proceeding.

It is one of his plans to make Yinhu suffer. Only in this way can the old man understand that in this world, only I will understand that he will indulge him, and others will only ask him to be virtuous and virtuous to raise his son in peace.Only when he realizes this clearly, can he defect to me without hesitation.

But suffering does not include dying.

The emperor felt strangely anxious and mixed with regrets, and felt extremely uncomfortable. Even in his previous life, when he was a brother Shang in Nianshi's dying mansion, he never felt such irritability.Calculating barely, he had similar grief when Shisan passed away, but it seemed not quite the same, that time he was sad and unable to hold himself, this time it was more irritable and violent.He sort of understands why Grandfather would force his younger brother to death for a woman.

Prince Fujin had a miscarriage, and the three mountains in the palace kept silent at the same time. Even the noble concubine who had been kind to Dong E's family in every possible way before also turned pale and said nothing. There are no rewards of a conciliatory nature.

The emperor lived in the palace and couldn't see anyone, and became increasingly irritable.

Yinzhen became more and more sure that his actions were generally in the right direction, and only by entering the palace could Lao Ba get his protection in a legitimate way.This fellow is a dead duck, except for his stubborn mouth, his body is as delicate and weak as a woman.In the previous life, he was punished and punished to kneel casually, and he used the excuse of the relapse of the old disease to avoid going to the court and not doing errands, and the emperor couldn't even announce the summons.The confinement was gone in less than a year, and the old thirteen was alive and well after ten years of cold treatment.

No matter how much I want to ask and talk, it's a pity that the old Bafen is a married woman, and now she is sick and has no chance to enter the palace.Yinzhen had no choice but to speed up the pace of placing manpower in the Prince Xiang's Mansion.

At this time, the third elder brother who was raised in front of Concubine Tong suddenly fell ill, and the palace didn't care much at first, but two days later, the Compassion Ning Palace suddenly forbade people to enter and leave at will, and soon Ningshou Palace and Qianqing Palace did the same.

Yinzhen had already held most of the Taiyuan Hospital in his hand, so he also knew at the first moment that the third elder brother was happy.

It is not a secret of the royal family that the Holy Ancestor survived a catastrophe in the early years, so it is not a secret of the royal family to be regarded by Huang Mafa as the heir before the collapse. When Yinzhen first heard about it, he didn't pay much attention to it, only when he pinched his fingers and counted. different.Not long after the Holy Ancestor came out, the Empress Xiaoxian and the Shizu soon returned to the underworld, so Huang Ama shouldn't be less than one year old at that time, right?

The more Yinzhen thought about it, the more strange he felt, but the queen mother gave her life, and the emperor could not be in danger, so the Chuxiu Palace where Concubine Tong lived could only enter and not leave.

Soon, epidemics broke out in various parts of the capital, and Yinzhen began to resettle the refugees, set up disaster shelters and arrange for the distribution of medicinal materials.Fortunately, he was used to doing these things in his previous life, and naturally he was not comparable to the seventeen-year-old Shizu Emperor.Soon the ruling and opposition parties settled down because of the emperor's unusually calm and strong style, and all departments acted in an orderly manner around the Qianqing Palace and the imperial city.

It was at this time that Yinzhen heard that Fujin, Prince Xiang's mansion, was also infected with the epidemic, and the situation was not optimistic.

For the first time, Yinzhen tried the taste of burning oil with impatience.

On the one hand, he guessed that Lao Ba had done it himself, and he wanted to take advantage of the epidemic in Beijing this time to feign death, so that this troublesome brother could always think of a place with him.But on the other hand, he has to worry about it. The old man who has no use at hand will definitely be under stricter supervision after that incident. It is very risky to do this kind of thing with no one inside and outside. Why can't he Hold up a little longer?

The emperor consciously found a perfect excuse, so he proposed to the queen mother to send a judge from the imperial hospital to show his sister-in-law.

Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother pondered, and reasoned that the Taiyuan Hospital was already short of manpower to take care of the women in the palace, and there was no one to be found except those who made rounds at Caishikou to give medicines.Prince Xiang and Concubine Gui must have put the overall situation first, so they didn't speak, and the emperor should do the same.

Yinzhen understood that the queen mother had already guessed that her son was Dong E's "adulterate husband", so she made up her mind to let Dong E's death directly by taking advantage of the epidemic.

This cognition annoyed Yinzhen, as he knew why the ancestors repeatedly made things difficult for the queen mother and insisted on doing things.This old queen is too selfish, and in the name of being good for her son, she desperately flatters Mongolian women, and now she doesn't even care who he wants to marry!

The emperor realized that if Lao Ba entered the palace, he would have to tear himself apart with the queen mother sooner or later. It would be better to come early than to come late, so that he could act more freely.

Soon the queen mother knew that the emperor disregarded her orders and sent the imperial hospital to give Prince Xiang Fujin a pulse diagnosis.This matter did not cause much trouble, but for several days in a row, the mother and son routinely greeted each other indifferently, just going through the motions.

It is easy to understand why the queen mother is not happy, because she has already foreseen the beginning of a royal scandal.The emperor was only 17 years old, which was the age when his love affair began. None of the women in the palace could keep him. If this person was in the palace, she couldn't imagine the consequences.

The emperor was also very angry, because the court judge brought back that Prince Xiang Fujin was really sick and had already started to develop a rash, because he had just had a miscarriage and was weak and not optimistic.

Yinzhen couldn't understand, how could he be really sick?

Could it be that Lao Ba made up his own plans, that he really liked it?

Yinzhen is so angry, why are you so useless, old man?Back then, it took me so much effort to poke you down, why in this life, I didn't do anything and you just tossed yourself away?

In the midst of the emperor's resentment and complaints, the imperial hospital brought back the latest news every day, until one day the news was: Prince Xiang Fujin's fever had subsided, half of the rash had scabbed, and his life was fine.

The emperor couldn't believe it. He had planned for the worst. Among the common people, adult men and women could survive seeing happiness.

Only then did the imperial physician say that the epidemic in Fujin was similar to but not identical to Manyan's in the capital, and that the course of the disease was rapid and the fever was not serious.At first it was because of this that they thought that Fujin might be in trouble, but they didn't expect that scabs would start to form within five or six days.

The emperor pondered.

Whatever the reason, this ending couldn't have been better.He doesn't care about the process, only the result.

So Yinzhen said to the court: "Prince Xiang Fujin died of a serious illness, and died of illness in a few days. Can you hear clearly?"

The court judge had already guessed about the extraordinary concern of the emperor Yuxiang King Fujin, and now he finally confirmed his guess, and he was sweating profusely.If this job is done, it means that he has become the emperor's confidant from now on. What if the Queen Mother finds out?However, he soon realized that the lives of his only grandson of three generations were already in the hands of the emperor, so he stopped thinking about other things.

This matter was carried out very quickly under the emperor's behest, and the empress dowager and the noble concubine didn't even have much time to deal with it.

Because of the epidemic, Fujin's sick room was separated by three floors inside and outside, and Fujin's worse news could be heard from the outside every day.When the imperial physician announced that Fujin was finally dead, it couldn't be said that the whole family had been prepared, but at least the people in charge knew it well.

In the entire palace, the prince was the only one who was really sad. He beat Dong Eshi in a fit of rage that day and even caused her to have a miscarriage. After that, he regretted it, and he avoided seeing her for a few days to recuperate.After all, she is the woman he likes the most, and she is the only woman he begged for in this life. After the initial anger, he is still willing to give Dong E's a little more chance.

At this time, the imperial doctor hinted that the current epidemic in the capital is still in the limelight, and the emperor has ordered his death. However, all those who died due to the epidemic must be buried or burned on the same day.

At this time, Hongwen, the maidservant next to Fujin, knelt and cried and said, before Fujin left, she said, I'm sorry, but I would like to burn my ancestors with fire.

The sadness that Prince Xiang had just brewed up disappeared immediately, and the green cloud of shame came to his heart again.So he shouted: "Since it's Fujin's own wish, let's do it."

Fujin died of illness in Prince Xiang's Mansion, and the news that his personal belongings were burned on the same day spread to the palace. It was too late for the Queen Mother to stop it.

This matter was done too badly and ugly, and the imperial concubine's face was not very good.The concubine's daughter of the Minister of Internal Affairs, who is also the prince's concubine, Fujin, unexpectedly set fire to it in such a hasty manner, without even notifying her natal family.Even though the Empress Dowager intervened in Dong E's death, she still had to be annoyed that Prince Xiang Fujin didn't think well and didn't know how to dissuade him.

Now the royal family has to do something to appease E Shuo's lineage, it's not good for monarchs and ministers to be centrifugal.

The epidemic in the capital was still spreading, but the emperor left the palace in subdued clothes despite the imperial physician's advice.

Yinzhen saw Yinhu who was still recovering from illness in a residential house outside Chaoyangmen, and this time the two of them never had any tension.

Of course, Yinzhen still asked the doubts that had been pent up in his heart for a long time: "Why are you so careless this time? Did you really almost kill yourself?"

Yinhu didn't retort, he smiled bitterly and said, "Someone can't wait to strike first."
