Palace scheming: Empress Leng Gong I

Chapter 45
"Wait!" As soon as Xuanyuanze stepped out of the palace gate, Yun Qing stopped in bewilderment, and he ordered Ling Ge to let Fengyu be carried out, and then he took Yunqing into Fengyu together. Among public opinion.

"I don't know why the emperor thought of taking Chengyu today?" Inside Fengyu, Yun Qing was a little puzzled.

She had never taken a phoenix vehicle in the palace. Firstly, she felt that it was a bit too luxurious, and secondly, she felt that it was not as comfortable as walking.

"Your hair is not completely dry. If you get a cool breeze, you will fall ill again!" He responded lightly, although he didn't say too much, but Yun Qing's eyes moved, and some dared not look at his clear pair of eyes again. The handsome eyes of a person.

For a while, the atmosphere in the car made Yun Qing a little depressed, the two of them had nothing to say all the way, and they couldn't find a topic to break the dull atmosphere.

Fortunately, Zhuhua Palace arrived soon. When the eunuch announced loudly that the emperor was coming and the empress was coming, the expression of the concubine Hua in the palace changed, and she lay weakly on the bed, letting the imperial doctor who came to take her pulse.

"Slaves (servants) refer to the emperor and empress, long live the emperor! Long live the emperor! Thousands of years, the empress!"

A group of palace people saw Xuanyuan Ze and Yun Qing who entered the palace at the same time kneel down one after another. At this time, the middle-aged imperial doctor of the imperial hospital immediately stood up and saluted the two of them, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty Liu Quan sees the emperor, Empress! Long live the emperor, good luck, empress!"

"The concubine sees the emperor! I have seen the queen sister!" He Ruowan on the bed saw Xuanyuanze and Yunqing, and also struggled to get up to salute the two. Xuanyuanze felt pity for her pale and weak face, and hurried forward One step helped her lie down, and said softly: "Wan'er is not feeling well, there is no need to salute!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" He Ruowan's eyes turned red, seeing the tenderness in his eyes, her voice choked up slightly, which made Xuanyuanze's heart tremble.I haven't seen her for a few days, she has become haggard a lot, no wonder she fainted, seeing her like this really makes people feel distressed.

"Liu Quan, what's going on with Concubine Hua?" Xuanyuan Ze turned his head to look at Imperial Physician Liu who was standing respectfully, his handsome eyebrows frowned, and he asked in a deep voice.

Liu Quanquan panicked, and hurriedly responded: "Go back to the emperor, the officer has just arrived at the empress's palace, please wait a moment, let the officer take the pulse of the empress!"

Seeing this, Ning'er hurriedly stepped forward, took the gold thread from Liu Quan's hand and fastened it to He Ruowan's right wrist, Xuanyuan Ze stood sideways, quietly waiting for Liu Quan He Ruowan's pulse diagnosis.

Yun Qing looked at He Ruowan on the bed, and saw that there was a sickness on her bloodless face, and her eyes seemed to be slightly swollen, which was hard to detect unless one looked closely.

"Oh, congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the concubine Hua!" From time to time, Liu Quan suddenly showed joy, put away the golden thread and made a big gift to Xuanyuanze and He Ruowan on the bed, making Xuanyuanze's handsome eyebrows uncontrollably frowned. Get up, displeased: "What's going on?"

"My Majesty, this is a happy pulse for your majesty! The official test found that your majesty has been pregnant for nearly a month. It's really gratifying!" Liu Quan smiled brightly, and the excitement in his voice made Yun Qing raise his head. He Ruowan was overjoyed by the imperial physician's words, and her beautiful eyes immediately brightened a little.

"Xi Mai?" Xuanyuan Ze's expression froze, his voice was also full of shock, and he said again: "Then why did Wan'er faint suddenly?"

He never thought that Wan'er was pregnant and had his child!
"Returning to the emperor, it may be that the empress does not sleep well these days, and people in the first pregnancy will be extremely tired. If the maintenance is not good, they will easily appear haggard and accidentally faint." Liu Quangong lowered his hands, and his voice was steady, comforting: "As long as the mother takes good care of the fetus in the future, ensures diet and rest, and should not overwork or worry too much, the fetus in the womb will grow up healthily!"

"Your Majesty..." He Ruowan wept with joy, stretched out her hand and pulled Xuanyuan Ze who was standing in front of the bed, her voice trembled, "Your Majesty... Wan'er has your flesh and blood! Is it true that Wan'er has the Emperor's child in her stomach?" ?”

At this moment, her face was gradually overflowing with blood due to excitement, and her whole person was a little more lively than before, and also a little more lovable.

"Wan'er!" Xuanyuan Ze also felt warm in his heart, looking at her with a gentle smile, he suddenly felt a little guilty.

These days, I really ignored her. If she hadn't passed out, I'm afraid I wouldn't have come to see her.Thinking about these days, she is also very sad!
"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the younger sister!" Yun Qing looked at the pair of imperial concubines who were in love with each other in front of him, and realized once again that he really shouldn't appear in front of them.

Just like the day of their wedding, she was just an unexpected intruder. If she hadn't appeared, maybe they would have been so warm forever; and He Ruowan wouldn't have repeatedly harmed herself secretly, and there wouldn't have been one after another. people died as a result.

Now Yun Qing only hopes that after she has a child, she can take care of her baby with peace of mind.

So, she smiled slightly at Xuanyuan Ze who turned back after hearing the sound, and softly retreated: "Since my sister is fine, I can rest assured, it's getting late, Yun Qing will leave first!"

Then, she said to He Ruowan with a faint smile on her face: "Sister, take good care of your baby, don't be too tired. I will come to see you tomorrow!"

As he spoke, he wanted to turn around and leave.

"I'll see you off!" Xuanyuanze's eyes narrowed, and just as he was about to stand up, He Ruowan, who was beside him, already had a sad expression on his face, she lightly grabbed the corner of his clothes, and said softly, "Your Majesty..."

"No need, Your Majesty! Yun Qing has Fengyu outside, so Your Majesty should stay with Concubine Hua's younger sister!" Yun Qing smiled lightly, seeing the flash of hatred on He Ruowan's face, she didn't want to stay any longer , turned around and exited the inner hall.

Xuanyuanze even offered to give him away, which surprised Yunqing.

However, if he really let him give him away, I'm afraid there will be more troubles in the future.

"The lower officials also leave first!" Liu Quan also left space for the two emperors and concubines with sharp eyes, and the other palace people had already withdrawn from the sleeping hall with interest, leaving only Xuanyuan Ze and He Ruowan in Ruo Da's hall for a while!
"Can the emperor spend more time with Wan'er? The emperor hasn't visited Wan'er these days, do you know how sad Wan'er is?" He Ruowan held the corner of the man's clothes tightly, hatred and sadness coexisted in her heart.

Thinking that he now has his own flesh and blood, he actually wants to send that woman back to the palace!
Your majesty, does he really not love himself?Could it be that in his heart, that woman has surpassed himself?
"Wan'er, don't be sad. I haven't had time to come and see you because of my busy state affairs. Now that you are pregnant, you can stop thinking about it. You should take good care of your baby!" Seeing Yun Qing's slender figure disappear In front of his own eyes, Xuanyuan Ze's gaze was also slightly dimmed.

There was not even a trace of concern on her face just now!Even when she heard that Wan'er was pregnant, her reaction was so flat that he was disappointed.

Yun Qing...

It seems that in her heart, she still has no weight.He thought that after these days of contact, she should have some feelings for him, but...

"As long as the emperor often comes to see Wan'er, Wan'er will not think about anything. It's just that the emperor is busy with state affairs these days, Wan'er also heard that the emperor will often visit the queen's sister..." He Ruowan's voice was sad Looking at the lack of focus on his face, my heart hurts very much.

Since when, his love for her has faded to the point of no trace, and even when he heard that he had his flesh and blood, there was no surprise in his eyes that moved her heart.

"Wan'er is really overwhelmed. I went to her only because of state affairs!" His voice suddenly sank, and he gave her a cold look, feeling suddenly bored.

Now that Wan'er is pregnant, how will he fulfill what he promised Yun Qing just now?

Wan'er, is she really that vicious person that even he can't see through?Or, is it all just my own overthinking?

"Oh, Wan'er understands!" He Ruowan was startled, under his indifferent eyes, she couldn't help but let go of her hand, and never dared to pull the corner of his clothes brazenly to act like a baby like before.

It's just that after the hand was loosened, I didn't know what to do, so I could only clenched it tightly. The face was still gentle and considerate, but the heart sank deeper and deeper...

Ever since Concubine Hua had a happy event, the new and talented girls have been rushing to the Zhuhua Palace to pay their respects every day, even more frequently than going to the Queen's Golden Phoenix Palace. They all hope to take the opportunity of paying respects to see the emperor.

The Empress Dowager also asked Fangfei to avoid Concubine Hua's daily greetings, and told her to stay in the palace to raise the fetus, and sent people to Zhuhua Palace to deliver some nourishing products for the fetus.

A few days later, there was also news from the southeast area, saying that after the edict arrived in the disaster area, although a small number of victims insisted on burying the dead, after hearing the appeasement order issued by the Queen Mother, all the victims reported the list of dead family members to the local officials, hoping that In the future, you can get a plaque from the emperor to build a temple for all descendants to worship.

The imperial minister who went to the disaster relief was Li Qinglan, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and received news from him the day before yesterday, saying that Yixian and Lingshou counties in the hardest-hit areas had collected all the poultry, humans and animals that died of the epidemic in one place. Burned in the vast fields that were deserted by the plague.Although the scene at that time caused many people to cry, they did not encounter the expected obstruction.

The imperial physicians of several imperial hospitals who were sent together also reported that the main source of infection of the plague had been found, and they were starting to develop a new type of drug to treat infected patients.

And Li Qinglan mentioned in his letter: The plague mainly spread from the sheep raised by the local people, and then gradually spread, once infecting poultry and other animals, and the local people who did not know it began to be infected with this plague, resulting in More and more people are infected.

This kind of plague has never been seen before, and some local people commonly call it the death ulcer.When the infected people and animals are first infected, there will be inconspicuous red rashes and blisters on the body, which will gradually increase in size, and then turn into purple-red blood blisters or pustules; the base is dark red bad sores, and the surrounding area is red and swollen, but not painful , only slightly itchy.When the disease is first contracted, people don't care at all, especially the simple people, who don't know that it should be treated as soon as possible, so as to control the disease.

But when the disease is severe, these people have diffuse edema in the eyelids, neck and other loose skin. Gradually, these people will have high fever, vomiting, general discomfort and symptoms similar to systemic poisoning. There is no cure for it. will die.

If someone had been able to clean up plagued sheep and infected poultry wisely at that time, even if a small number of people would be infected, it would not have turned into such a plague of large-scale deaths, so there would not be the current discoloration caused by the epidemic. Terrible plague.

Now Li Qinglan is first to solve the most fundamental source of infection, gather all uninfected people and lightly infected people in the disease area, and isolate them separately. Wearing gauze soaked in medicine and hand protection to help take care of the sick, just wait for several imperial physicians headed by Imperial Physician Fu to develop a targeted prescription, and then they can import a large number of drugs and go to disaster relief.

The reason why Yun Qing knew the source of these news was because Xuanyuan Ze told her personally.

He seems to be in a good mood these two days. Perhaps because Concubine Hua is pregnant and the epidemic situation in Southeast China has been initially controlled, the look of worry on his brows has disappeared. Instead, there is a kind of grandeur that makes people's hearts thump!

He said that Yun Qing contributed a lot to controlling the disaster this time!

Although the prescription has not been developed yet, he believes that the plague will be completely controlled soon, and the people of the world will be able to live a normal life.

In the past few days, the Empress Dowager often chatted with Yun Qing about family matters, saying that since Concubine Hua became pregnant, the plague in the southeast has been initially controlled. The emperor's blessing.And the emperor should be relaxed after working hard these days.She asked Yun Qing to choose a good day, and asked the emperor to hold a selection banquet, after which she would set a date to go to Huangjue Temple to offer incense, pray for the country, and pray for the people!

The Empress Dowager brought up the matter of choosing a banquet, and Yun Qing nodded in response, so after coming out of the Empress Dowager's palace, she planned to go to the imperial study to mention this matter to the emperor.
