[Red House] Lixian

The East Palace is the place where the crown prince lives. It was built after the emperor's palace. Although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs.

Concubine Ning arrived one step earlier than the Empress Dowager. When the Empress Dowager came to the East Palace, Wei Qian stopped the Crown Prince Taibao: "No, this matter cannot be passed on to the south!"

"You stay in the East Palace to take care of them these days, but you must not affect His Majesty's southern expedition."

"You temptress, father-son relationship, now that something happened in the East Palace, and the court is in turmoil, why do you care about going south?" The white-bearded old man blew his beard and stared, and almost rushed to Wei Qian's side to argue with her.

A few guards stopped the crown prince and Taibao, and Wei Qian said quietly: "You only know the safety of the East Palace, but you know the people in the world? The people in the south of the Yangtze River are caught in the flames of war. If your majesty can't calm down, how many wives will be separated, and the north and south will be separated? This time, the whole country will be marched south. , not to be ruined by one person's blessings or misfortunes."

The crown prince is sick, and the people in the East Palace, headed by the crown prince Taibao, want to invite the emperor back to sit in charge.But Wei Qian would never allow the Southern Expedition to fail.If this step fails, what will be lost is the national fortune for the next century.

"Furthermore, what can His Majesty do when he comes back? Can he treat the crown prince? It is the job of the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat the prince, but it is the job of you ministers to take care of the government. What can your Majesty do when you come back? The empress dowager stepped forward to appease people."

Seeing the Queen Mother coming, Wei Qian hurried forward.

Empress Dowager Chen looked upset when she saw the two quarreling, and she didn't look good towards Wei Qian, so she ignored her, snorted, and went directly to the palace to see the prince.

The prince was overjoyed when he saw it, and a group of imperial doctors gathered around the outer room, frowning and sighing.

"I thought it was common typhoid fever, but I didn't expect it to be..."

Everyone felt uneasy, the royal doctor in the palace was the worst, the Imperial Medical Bureau had interfered in these years, and the power of the Imperial Hospital had been repeatedly suppressed.Now that I have treated the nobleman several times, the imperial doctors dare not prescribe medicine lightly.One is afraid of taking responsibility, and the other is unwilling to intervene in the harem battle.

"Smallpox is an incurable disease, and now something happened in the East Palace..."

Seeing the Empress Dowager coming, the imperial physicians did not dare to say much, and stood aside after saluting.

"I just want to ask, can it be cured?"

The imperial doctors wiped off the sweat from their heads, and dealt with it carefully, but the implication was that Wu Fu was doing his best to obey the destiny.

"Forget it." The Empress Dowager ignored them and called Du You for diagnosis and treatment.

After Du You's diagnosis and treatment, he discussed with several imperial physicians, shook his head and said: "The crown prince is seriously ill this time, and can only be stabilized with decoction for the time being. Whether it will be cured or not depends on the crown prince's fortune."

"Smallpox is fetal poison, so it's good to let it out. What I'm afraid of now is that the crown prince won't be able to get it out." An old doctor said, discussed with Du You for a while, and came up with a temporary plan.

Temporarily wipe it with medicinal wine and take it orally with soup. As for whether it will work or not, that's another matter.

Wei Qian was silent, and suddenly said: "The Second Highness's side is also dangerous, a few of you went over to make a diagnosis, and if the symptoms are the same, we will prescribe the medicine together."

The imperial physician ordered three imperial physicians to go to Fengzao Palace, and the others were beside Wei Qian and the Queen Mother.

The queen mother stretched her head to look in, and the prince lay on the bed and kept moaning: "Thirsty..."

The old lady was heartbroken, and wanted to take care of her nearby, Wei Qian hurriedly ordered someone to stop her: "The prince wants to drink water, but you still don't serve him!"

The two little maids flinched and stepped forward to pass water to the prince.

However, the prince suffered from smallpox, the two little maids were afraid and did not dare to approach, their hands were unsteady, and the tea was spilled on the ground.

"Bastard!" The queen mother was furious, Wei Qian hurriedly let Hong Chun in: "Go and take care of the prince."

Then persuade the empress dowager to sit outside. "Your Majesty, the phoenix body is against harmony these days, so don't come to these dangerous places again."

"What? The grandson of the Ai family, can't you even look at it?" Although the Empress Dowager Chen understood that Wei Qian was thinking of herself, she refused to accept it in her heart and insisted on taking care of it herself. "The crown prince was brought up by Ai's family by hand. If something like this happens, Ai's family must come in person."

Wei Qian tried to persuade him for a long time but couldn't persuade him.Not long after, Concubine Wen came with her concubines.

Wei Qian frowned and said, "My sister has a princess under her lap, how can she just come here?"

However, everyone was there and persuaded the queen mother together, and finally let the queen mother sit down safely.

Concubine Wen said: "I asked all the younger sisters in the palace, and two younger sisters had smallpox in a few hours, but they can be taken care of nearby."

The queen mother was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked the two Baolins to take care of the prince: "You take care of the prince, if the prince recovers, the family will be rewarded!"

The two Baolins were of low status, they had just entered the palace, they should have lowered their heads and lowered their eyebrows, and went in to take care of the maids.

Seeing those two maids with thick hands and thick feet, the queen mother snorted coldly and was about to send her off.Wei Qian said, "Both of you go to boil the medicine. Sprinkle the medicine all over the East Palace together with the imperial physician. By the way, make a soup for the ministers outside to prevent it."

Suddenly, Wei Qian remembered something, and asked the Prince Taibao: "How about the Chongwen Museum? How many students should be in class today?"

"Fortunately, Mr. Zheng took the imperial physician to check them. If they are all right, they will be sent home."

"Go outside the palace at this time?" Wei Qian shook his head: "Stay in the palace for the time being, find a side hall to live temporarily, look back for a few days, and send it back after everything is fine. This can be regarded as the great grace of the emperor."

The Chongwen Hall is opposite to the Menxia Province on the edge of the former dynasty, and it is the place where the prince studies and the officials work.There are also many descendants of ministers who listen to the teacher's lectures here, and have formed a relationship with the prince since childhood.Now that the prince is happy to see him, they will of course be affected.

"Going home makes a group of people worry, and stays in the palace to let the imperial physician take care of it. By the way, have you found the source of the disease?"

"It was a young lady in the East Palace who infected the Crown Prince, and someone has already ordered someone to deal with it." The Prince's Taibao looked stern, and then said: "The East Palace has been ordered to be sealed off, and idlers are not allowed to enter or leave."

Wei Qian nodded, these officials are the direct descendants of the prince, and they have done everything according to the evidence, so they don't need to point fingers, they have already done everything well.

Then, Wei Qian looked at the Queen Mother.

The Empress Dowager rubbed her head. In the early spring, she contracted a cold, and her body was weak, and she still hasn't recovered.

"Your Majesty, go back and rest first, and the concubine here in the Eastern Palace will take care of you."

Seeing what the Empress Dowager wanted to say, Wei Qian said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will live in the Eastern Palace these days and take care of you nearby. Please take care of the affairs of the Sixth Palace."

"You?" The queen mother frowned: "The Ai family knows that you haven't had much illness since childhood, let alone smallpox. What are you doing here?"

Wei Qian smiled and said, "Don't worry, ma'am, these imperial physicians are not here, so I'm fine."

"It's just that my palace guards the East Palace, but you can't let other people mess up your Majesty's important affairs." Wei Qian glanced coldly at the crown prince and Taibao: "Even if His Majesty returns, he can't accompany him in the East Palace in person. It will only be a few concubines to help take care of it. So, my lords, it is best to stop thinking about it. Your Majesty, he has not suffered from smallpox either. He is a man of gold, what should he do if something goes wrong?"

The queen mother intended to let Situ Yun come back, but after hearing Wei Qian's words, she suppressed her thoughts.That's right, Situ Yun also didn't like it, so what's the use of him coming back?

"Then what are you going to do?" asked the Queen Mother.

"The prince is happy to see him, so there is no danger of his life. We concubines take turns to take care of him. The prince is not very old, so we mothers and concubines don't have to shy away from it."

Wei Qian organized the language: "Closing the gates of the palace, the East Palace and Fengzao Palace are the key targets of blockade. Except for the imperial physician, the maids and eunuchs are not allowed to enter or leave."

"Wherever the two princes have passed by, they are sprayed with medicinal water to cleanse, and the palace people take the decoction three times a day to avoid infection."

"Clean the Tai Chi Pavilion, and send the Third Prince and several princesses to the Tai Chi Pavilion for temporary shelter."

"Prepare to sacrifice to the God of Acne, to Houtu, and to the Taimiao."

Following the orders one by one, Wei Qian and Jia Yuanchun took care of the two princes in the East Palace and Fengzao Palace respectively.The Empress Dowager sits in the Central Palace, while Concubine Wen leads the remaining heirs to Tai Chi Pavilion for temporary shelter, and only Bao Lin, who has suffered from smallpox, is allowed to accompany Wei Qian to take care of the prince.

The ministers of the Eastern Palace temporarily returned to the Chongwen Hall.The Crown Prince Taifu listened to Wei Qian's order and nodded in satisfaction: "This empress is right, Your Majesty must not return to the palace now."

The atmosphere of a group of Taiwo officials was gloomy and worried.They are tied to the fate of the prince. If the prince has an accident, Situ Yun will never let them go when he comes back.

"Concubine Ning did the right thing." The crown prince said, "What's the use of your majesty coming back at this time? The battlefield is changing rapidly. Even if your majesty wants to leave, he will lose his country, which will make the soldiers feel cold. And wait for him to come back. City, at least half a month later, the prince might be fine by then."

The Crown Prince Taifu understood Wei Qian's approach: "Concubine Ning will take care of her in the East Palace herself, which shows that she attaches great importance to it."

Seeing the palace people changing their clothes with serious faces, they began to invite the god of pox to worship.The crown prince Taifu sighed quietly: "It's also fortunate that this empress is the host, and it's also fortunate that this empress has no children, so she can still maintain some fairness."

Wei Qian was not close to the crown prince, but he never harmed him, and currently he has no motive for harming him.If it wasn't for the same accident happened to Jia Yuanchun, some people would suspect that it was related to Jia Yuanchun.

The prince and grand master nodded: "Yes, this lady has always been calm, so she should be fine." At least she is better than the queen. If the queen had encountered such a thing, she would have lost her rules and gnawed at random, leading to chaos in the harem. bloody.

"However, the East Palace is in trouble. What should we do about those things now?" An official said sullenly, "Peace talks with the north, and daily reports to His Majesty. Do you want to talk about this matter?"

"The report will definitely be made, but to put it lightly, don't worry His Majesty. As for the peace talks..." The prince and Taifu pondered, yes, the prince is ill and no one speaks, so they dare not make a final decision.

"Peace talks? What's the deal with peace talks! Maybe these barbarian wizards are behind the scenes!" The crown prince slapped the table hard: "The old wizard next to Khan is not a good person at first sight, he must be the one who secretly cursed His Highness."

"Nonsense!" The two elders glared at their companions. The prince's Taifu, Prince's Taishi, and Prince's Taibao corresponded to the emperor's three princes to assist the prince.

"How can this kind of witchcraft talk nonsense?"

"At this critical moment in the peace talks, there will be no further waves."

The two held down their companions and looked at the other side.Wei Qian asked people to clean up, and their concubines temporarily lived in the Lihua Hall of the East Palace.Fortunately, the crown prince is young and the East Palace is so clean that he doesn't have to worry about etiquette.

"Your Majesty, drink the medicine." Xiang Ling came in with the soup, and Wei Qian waved his hand: "You guys drink it, I don't need it."

Thinking about what I just saw, the prince is seriously ill, and there seems to be a little trace of Taoism interference.But she can solve it, she asked to stay in the East Palace just to take care of her nearby.

Afterwards, he wrote a letter to Situ Yun, mentioning this matter at his own discretion, and then it was mostly words of advice.Get the guards and send them away with today's family letter.

Hurry up and send it to the camp in a few days.

Situ Yun and Xue Baochai played chess for fun.First of all, I looked through the court memorials, and saw that all the ministers mentioned the prince's joy at the same time. I was so shocked that I almost ordered people to pull out the stronghold and return to the palace.

Immediately tore open the secret letter from the informant, read it, and then looked at Wei Qian's handwriting.

There was also the matter that the prince was happy to see him, but the second prince was ignored by others.

Xue Baochai glanced at the memorial, not daring to look any further, and stared down at the chessboard.

"The world is the first, and the country is the most important. Today, the power of the whole country in the south is used to make contributions, and the world's community must not be destroyed because of one person's gain or loss."

"Although the crown prince has fetal poisoning, it is not common sense. There are many people who recover after seeing joy. It is nothing but a calamity. However, the crown prince is deeply blessed and blessed by all gods, so there will be no serious problems."

"The concubine is willing to use the head of the item to keep the prince safe. When His Majesty returns, the father and son will be reunited. If the prince dies, the concubine will kill herself."

Wei Qian was ruthless, Wei Qian would never let Situ Yun fail the Southern Expedition at this time.She is about to go to the south to participate in the fight!

Therefore, the prince is safe!

Seeing Wei Qian's handwriting, Situ Yun suddenly felt at ease for some reason, probably because of the trust they had cultivated over the years.

Situ Yun closed his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief: "Concubine Xue, save this game for now, and I will play with you later."

"Your Majesty is going back to the palace?"

"No, there is Concubine Ning sitting in the palace, and I want to bring down the entire Jiangnan, so that I can live up to the community of the world."
