[Qing wear + Red House] Lin's Royal Concubine

"Where did the nonsense come from! The empress has safely given birth to my little elder brother..." Hesheli's voice stopped abruptly at this point.

What I couldn't figure out before, suddenly seems to be figured out at this moment.

Why did the master put his daughter and grandson in danger?Although I asked her to remind her secretly in advance, smallpox is uncontrollable, but what if there is a little bit of trouble?How can the master ensure that his daughter and grandson will not be infected?

She was still wondering if there was something hidden behind her, but it turned out that this was the truth?

Master... because he is already planning to give up his daughter and grandson, so he can even ignore their lives?

Hesheli couldn't help but staggered back two steps, his face turned blue and then pale, which was wonderful.

Seeing this, Li Si'er, who was dressed quite delicately and luxuriously, couldn't help covering her lips and smiling coquettishly, "It seems that my wife has figured it out."

"How did you know? Longkodo told you?"

"What my wife wants to ask is whether the third master knows about this, right? Of course he does."

Upon receiving such an answer, Hershey felt dizzy for a while.

If Tong Guowei brought her anger, then Longkodo's meddling in this matter brought her nothing but sadness.

The son is her darling, but the daughter is also her own. How could siblings of the same mother become like this?

Hesheli couldn't figure it out, but she couldn't help but add a bit of resentment to Li Si'er's eyes, "Why did you tell me this?" Why break her self-deception?She would rather choose not to know the truth!

"Of course it's for the sake of the wife and the third master." Li Si'er gave her a blank look, with a hint of sarcasm, "No matter what, the current empress is the wife's biological daughter and the third master's direct sister. With her here, the status of both of you, mother and son, will be stable and will not be shaken by anyone, but the second girl born out of a concubine..."

"He has his own mother, and his elder brother is still the eldest son of the master. Once she enters the palace and successfully gives birth to a healthy little elder brother, the empress will definitely be completely abandoned. At that time, there will be more than one ordinary wife in the family. It's hard to say whether this family will belong to the third master or the uncle in the future."

"Now I see that the master is the son of the third master who is the most important, and the third master is indeed the most capable, but this does not mean that he can rest easy." Li Si'er glanced around, and took two steps forward to Hesheli Shi's side leaned closer and whispered: "As long as that second girl gives birth to the little elder brother, it will be the beginning of the downfall of your mother and child. If it doesn't work out in the future, it's fine, but if it does... Madam, tell me, the future of this family Will it be the third master or the uncle?"

Hershey's eyes changed.

This is really not impossible, but very likely.

"I've talked about this with the third master in private, but the third master is too confident, and doesn't think that other brothers will replace him. I looked at the third master coldly, and I'm afraid the master has already got involved. , I just want to help the master push the Tong family to the top."

Li Si'er stretched out his hand to support the gorgeous Jin Buyao on his head, and said rather helplessly: "It's true that the elders are a bit rough-minded, but our mother and I have to plan ahead. If the hard work ends in the end Making wedding dresses for others, wouldn’t you be so angry? So even though I know my wife hates me, after thinking about it, I still have to come to my wife to discuss it.”

"I know my wife must be very angry at this moment, but please calm down and don't go to the master to tear it up impulsively. Once some things are torn apart, it can't be good. My wife only remembers one sentence——No matter what You can't write two Tong characters in one stroke, the third master and the Tong family are one."

These words instantly extinguished the burning flame in Hershey's heart like a basin of ice water, and made her completely stop thinking about finding Tong Guowei to settle accounts.

Forget it, she could think of a way in private to cut off the concubine's way to enter the palace, which can be regarded as doing her daughter and grandson a big favor, and it should be made up for.

Hesheli kept telling himself this way, trying to let himself erase the guilt and uneasiness in his heart, but in the end he could only coax himself. If he really wanted to put this on the stage, he would really make others laugh Big teeth.

The father and son who were full of excitement and planning for the future in the study obviously would never have imagined that their family had already started to become chaotic from the inside. Everyone had their own thoughts, and their thoughts were not the same at all. In one point of view, there is only one thing that is consistent, and that is the selfishness and ambition in the bones.

It is not easy for others to overthrow such a big family. If they really move, they may have to peel off their own skin, but once the smog inside is fighting to the death, it will really be completely over.

Today's Tong's family looks splendid on the surface, but when the skin is peeled off, the inside has begun to emit a rotten smell. It's a pity that they are all dazzled by the interests in front of them, and they have not yet noticed the crisis.

As everyone knows... how can one govern the country and the world if one family is not homogeneous?

Cheng Qiangong

Although no one dared to disturb Lin Shiyu after receiving Kangxi's instructions, but as a mother, how could she really sleep with peace of mind under such circumstances?It was just a moment of squinting, and she suddenly woke up by herself.

"Your Majesty is awake now? But startled?"

"Qiuyue?" Lin Shiyu rubbed her drowsy head, glanced at the surrounding environment and couldn't help being a little surprised, "Why is Ben Gong here? What time is it? How is the situation over there?"

"It was the emperor who was worried that you were lying on the sidelines and brought you back. The empress only slept for an hour. How about some more sleep? His Royal Highness and the fourth elder brother are all fine. There is nothing wrong with the emperor. Just watch over there, the empress just needs to rest in peace, otherwise the body will be too much to bear if I continue to suffer like this."

Lin Shiyu waved his hand, "Go and invite the emperor to come over, and tell me that I have something important to report."

Upon hearing this, Qiuyue didn't dare to delay any longer, and immediately went out to the next door.

After a while, Kangxi strode in.

"The maid said you have something important to report?" Seeing that she was about to get up, she immediately put her hands on her shoulders to stop her, "You don't need to be too polite now, let's see how tired you are."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lin Shiyu frowned slightly, thinking: "Just now, my concubine dreamed of Guanyin Bodhisattva..."

Kangxi was obviously stunned, but after thinking about it, it seems that there is nothing strange about dreaming of a Bodhisattva or Buddha with her background, so she nodded and said curiously: "What did the Bodhisattva say? "

"Yes... Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva told my concubine that vaccinating can successfully prevent smallpox infection... If people are infected with vaccinia, they will only have some mild symptoms, most of which are not serious enough to endanger their lives. People who have smallpox will never get smallpox again for the rest of their lives."

Before the children were dying suddenly, her mind was in a daze for a while. She seemed to be stable on the surface, but in fact she was no different from walking dead. The thing of cowpox was really something she dreamed of just now, but It wasn't Guanshiyin Bodhisattva pointing out the maze, it was probably just thinking about it every day and dreaming at night, and it suddenly came back to my chaotic mind.

To be honest, Lin Shiyu blamed herself a little. If she could have remembered such an important thing earlier, the children would not have endured the pain and torment of today, and those slaves who were infected were all living human beings.

Naturally, Kangxi didn't know what was going on in her heart. At this moment, his whole body was already excited, "Is this really true? Is cowpox really so effective?"

"That's what the Bodhisattva said in the dream. I think it's not wrong... Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva is the most compassionate. I think he couldn't bear to see smallpox continue to wreak havoc in the world, so he asked the dream to guide the maze." Lin Shiyu suppressed her shame and opened her eyes. Eyes talking nonsense.

There was really no other way, she couldn't explain how she suddenly knew about cowpox, and her own history had already been rumored, so she continued to rely on that, which would greatly enhance her credibility.

Kangxi excitedly circled back and forth in the room.

How long has smallpox been rampant in the world?Judging from the time that can be traced back from the records, it has a history of thousands of years!However, this thing is not only extremely contagious, but also extremely lethal. It is unimaginable how many lives have been taken away for thousands of years. It has always been a disease that people fear the most. Too much.

Once smallpox can be successfully prevented, it will not only save thousands of lives?

"If cowpox is really feasible, then you can be regarded as making a great achievement, and I thank you on behalf of thousands of Li people!" As he said, Kangxi gave her a deep bow.

This made Lin Shiyu even more uncomfortable, blushing and said: "Your Majesty, don't be so ashamed of your concubine, this is not what the concubine came up with..."

"Smallpox has been rampant for thousands of years and no one has successfully solved it. Why did the Bodhisattva give advice today? After all, it is because of you. You deserve the credit!"

Well, this is still unclear.

Lin Shiyu couldn't help feeling as if she was sitting on pins and needles, feeling uncomfortable all over, after thinking about it, she said: "The concubine is at most a messenger, the emperor must not publicize the concubine, the concubine's credit is hot. "

"You're just too shy and humble." Kangxi shook his head helplessly, then turned around and shouted: "Li Dequan!"

Li Dequan hurriedly rolled in, following Kangxi's instructions, his face changed again and again, and finally became exactly the same as his master's excitement, and his fat face was flushed.

"Don't worry, your majesty, this servant will give you an order. I believe the results will come out in a short time!" After saying that, he rushed out.

It's easy to experiment with this matter. Which dynasty can have fewer vicious death row prisoners?It is enough to take out some of the prisons in the capital alone. After it is confirmed that it is feasible, it can be quickly promoted among the people. At that time...

Since that day, most of Kangxi's mind has been occupied by cowpox, and seeing that scabs have begun to form on the children, he has successfully passed the most dangerous time, so he devoted himself even more to government affairs.

The two most important things in front of us right now are cowpox and dragon-tailed cars, both of which are the top priorities for benefiting the country and the people, and Wu Shifan, Geng Jingzhong and others who have not finished cleaning up... These days, the memorials are almost piled up like a mountain. I was so busy that I hit the back of my head with my feet.

Fortunately, the children are also very well-behaved and sensible. They recuperate quietly in the room on weekdays. They don't make noise or make troubles, which is very worry-free. They only moan and chirp when they are really itchy.

In order to prevent the children from scratching their faces, Lin Shiyu wanted to cut their nails bald, "No matter how itchy you have to bear it, don't touch it, otherwise it will disfigure you in the future."

Yin Xiaosi resisted the urge to scratch to have a good time, and muttered: "Man, don't be afraid!"

What's wrong with the dignified man's face?It's not that a little girl loves beauty, so why won't she be scratched?It's itching to death!

However, looking at the eyes of his mother-in-law, Yin Xiaosi still held his hand in a very sensible way.

"How about a man? Are you walking steadily, little man?" Lin Shiyu laughed and scolded, "Emiang likes beautiful children the most, you must be good-looking and don't scratch your face. Later, Emiang will despise you of."

As soon as these words came out, the two brothers Yinfeng and Yinzhen completely stopped, and they held back with their mouths puckered, not to mention how pitiful they were.

At this time, Hui Guiren's cries were vaguely heard from the next door, and then I saw that boy Yinti rushing in with an annoyed expression, followed by Cuiyu, the maid of honor who was close to her mother-in-law.

"Why did you provoke your mother?" Lin Shiyu asked helplessly.

"Er Chen just wanted to scratch it, but Er Niang was crying and making noises, and she insisted on stopping him and refusing to let Er Chen scratch her." Yinti looked depressed and muttered: "When I was a child, I refused to let Er Chen eat it." Tang, what did you say that your teeth will not look good in the future? No little girl will like Erchen in the future, and now she is trying her best not to let Erchen scratch her itch, saying that scratching his face will not be able to marry a wife in the future... as if I really want to marry a wife of!"

"If you don't want to marry a daughter-in-law, you can tell me to eat as much sweets as I want, and to scratch my itch comfortably, then I won't marry at all. Anyway, I don't like playing with cute little girls!" Daughter-in-law What is really annoying, annoying to death!There are so many things before getting married, one doesn't like that one, will he be able to live a life when he really marries a daughter-in-law and returns home in the future?

Just thinking about it, Yinti couldn't help shivering, and said gloomily, "Emperor Niang, will I have to marry a wife in the future?" The small eyes were still shining with anticipation.

Lin Shiyu suppressed a smile, and said, "This Queen Mother can't be the master, you have to ask your Queen Ama."

Cuiyu next to him said helplessly, "Brother, a man should marry a man and a woman should marry, how can he not marry a daughter-in-law?"

Yinti, who was already in a depressed mood, was even more annoyed, "If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb!"

Yin Xiaosi rubbed his little hands, sneakily took out his little notebook that hadn't been updated for a long time, and happily wrote down something, as if he had already heard the sound of his future brother's face being slapped.

After about another month or so, the scabs on the children's bodies have almost fallen off, which also means that the smallpox crisis has been safely passed.

The Chengqian Palace was full of joy, and the children's daily use was completely destroyed. Other things, including the inside and outside of the Chengqian Palace, were disinfected several times before Kangxi announced that the Chengqian Palace was unsealed.

However, although the children are safe, there are still some sick slaves in the palace who have not recovered and are still locked up in remote corners for treatment. Among them, the proportion of those who could not make it through and die is not small, almost every day. Someone was carried out, which made people realize once again the horror of smallpox, which undoubtedly added a lot of panic to the palace.

At this moment, the success of the cowpox test was like a drop of water falling into a frying pan, and the entire capital city boiled instantly.

At first, everyone didn’t quite believe that it was true. At one time, they were even more afraid to vaccinate easily. They couldn’t believe that it was as safe and easy as the government advertised. After all, if this thing is not handled properly, it will be fatal, and there is only one life. , who would dare to take such a heartless risk?

This also caused the government's actions to encounter great obstacles. It was not until it was reported that Guanyin Bodhisattva had given instructions to the goddess that the common people were skeptical. Vaccinated.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, and with this group of extremely superstitious people taking the lead, once the result comes out, there is no need for the government to try hard to persuade them, and the common people will swarm up and fight for vaccination, and everything is going smoothly. .

After everyone in the capital had been inoculated with cowpox, the credibility of the cowpox would naturally increase infinitely. Officials from other places outside the capital also had full confidence and began to vigorously promote this task.

As more and more people were successfully inoculated with vaccinia, there were suddenly many golden statues of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva all over the country, and the prosperity of incense was unprecedented.

Of course, at the same time, temples for goddesses were quietly built up, and there were quite a few devout men and women who came in and out.

The moment Lin Shiyu heard the news, her face became embarrassing, and she had an inexplicable sense of strange religious déjà vu, and she was obviously the big fool...she was very guilty.

With the elimination of the last smallpox case in the palace, the entire palace was finally unsealed. Tong Zhilan couldn't wait to summon her mother right away.

"Lan'er! Why have you lost so much weight?" Hesheli was shocked, and immediately glared at Siyue next to her, "How do you serve your master? It's not like a gust of wind is about to blow away, but I'm afraid that blowing my breath will blow her down! You damn girl..."

"Okay, Er Niang doesn't have to scold her, what does it have to do with her?" Tong Zhilan rubbed her head, her slender wrist seemed to be broken with a slight bend, it was shocking to watch.

Seeing that she seemed to be very uncomfortable, Hesheli restrained her anger and said worriedly: "But what's wrong with you? Why did it suddenly become like this? Look at your face, even makeup can't cover it What's going on, you can't hide it from Erniang."

What's wrong?My heart is tormented.

Tong Zhilan pursed her lips, waved her hand to send Siyue away, and then looked at her, Er Niang, "I have nothing to hide from Er Niang, but you, Er Niang, are you hiding something from me?"

My heart suddenly thumped.

Hesheli subconsciously staggered her gaze, and said with a puzzled expression: "What do you mean? What can Er Niang hide from you?"

Two biological mothers and daughters, who can fool who?

Seeing her guilty expression, Tong Zhilan's heart sank even more immediately, she gritted her teeth and said, "Er Niang, don't be sloppy with me, just tell me the truth, is the smallpox incident related to my family? I can tell you, The emperor hasn't given up on investigating this matter yet, it seems that he will not give up until the truth is found out. If it really has something to do with my family, Er Niang told me earlier and I should have made plans earlier, in case I was beaten up If you are caught off guard, it will be too late!"

"What? The emperor is still investigating?" Hesheli's face turned pale with shock, his expression completely revealed everything.

In an instant, Tong Zhilan felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave, her whole body was bone-chillingly cold.

I closed my eyes, and when I opened them again, it became peaceful, "Er Niang still wants to hide it from me? Anyway, I am also the daughter of the Tong family. Once this matter is exposed, will I be able to escape? Why? Mother is still worried that I will inform the emperor?"

"Of course not! It's just...just..." Hesheli gritted her teeth, lowered her head and said in a low voice, "It's you, Ama, who refused to ask me to tell you."

really!

Tong Zhilan's eyes went dark for a while, and she felt dizzy. If she hadn't been sitting, she would have fallen down in embarrassment right now.

"Lan'er, think of a way quickly. If you continue to investigate, something will happen sooner or later. What will Er Niang and your brother do then?" Hershey was so anxious that she opened and closed her mouth and chattered endlessly, even saying to find a scapegoat. Proposed, but got no response after a while, she became anxious, "Lan'er, why are you in a daze? Have you ever heard what Er Niang said?"

"What are you in a hurry for? Only now do you realize that you're afraid?" Tong Zhilan couldn't help but sneer and said, "What about Er Niang and younger brother? How does what to do have anything to do with Ben Gong? Why didn't you think about what Ben Gong and Xiao Liu should do when you were doing this?" What should I do? Xiao Liuda has been in a weak body since he was born, and he has been relying on the imperial doctor to survive, but if there is a mistake, his body will be completely cold now!"

At this point, she felt a chill pouring from the top of her head, which made her shiver, and her choked voice seemed to be filled with endless grievances and resentment.

"Ama, Erniang, younger brother, you are all my closest relatives, but which one takes me seriously? Even the lives of our mother and child can be easily given up. What did I do wrong to call you?" Treat it so cruelly!"

Hershey opened her mouth and said dryly, "You misunderstood..."

"What's the misunderstanding? Er Niang explained it carefully to Bengong." Tong Zhilan wiped away her tears, seeing her dumb look even more ridiculous, "It turns out...you really never regarded me as a human being..."
