Fourth Lord's Black Moonlight Queen

Chapter 4 The Weird Smallpox Disease

"Your Majesty, the little princess passed away, but the little bastard of the Wu Ya family was born on the day the princess passed away."

"My servant once heard from my aunt shaman that some people are born with five elements and eight characters that restrain each other, and it must be that little bastard who restrains the little princess to death.

"But Uncle Guo strictly ordered not to hurt the fourth elder brother in the slightest...this."

"Amatu's is the lintel that shines on our Tong clan. Looking at the entire harem now, since my sister passed away, only this palace comes from the Tong clan, and the Tong clan no longer has any women of the right age to send into the harem."

"He is worried that the Tong family will have no support after Bengong's death. For the sake of the Tong clan, even if Wu Yalanzhu cannot be accommodated in this palace, the fourth elder brother must be accommodated."

Qing'er is silent. Over the years, she has often urged Tong Jiashi to avenge the little princess in private.

She was always full of resentment in her heart, why Wu Yashi could suddenly become the young master of the Forbidden City when she was also the personal maid of the imperial concubine!
But she is still a slave!She is crazy with jealousy!

The master is weak now, why can't she be dedicated to the long live Lord's solid favor, she is obviously more loyal than Wu Ya's!
So over the years, she privately took revenge on the fourth elder brother for all her grievances.

Anyway, from the perspective of outsiders, they would only think that it was the imperial concubine's instruction.

Although Tong Jia didn't have a good impression of the fourth elder brother, but due to the rise and fall of the family's honor and disgrace, she didn't deliberately treat Yinzhen harshly.

But if you don't pay attention to it, you will give those who pretend to be powerful people an opportunity to take advantage of it.

During the few years when the fourth elder brother was sent to Zhongcui Palace, Tong Jiashi still took good care of the fourth elder brother.

But she couldn't stand Wu Yashi's entanglement and Qing'er's wind in her ears. She was already soft-hearted, so her attitude towards Yinzhen gradually became much colder.

"Go on, I want to talk to the little princess about myself."

Unable to bear the noisy chatter, she finally ordered Qing'er to leave impatiently.

"The slaves retire."

The concubine sister of Empress Xiao Yiren in front of her is indecisive, weak and incompetent.

If it wasn't for the young lady who helped her when she was alive, how could she be in her current position.

In the early morning of the second day, Lord Kangxi finally remembered that the fourth elder brother Yinzhen and the Queen Mother were born on the same day under the reminder of Liang Jiugong, the chief eunuch.

So he ordered someone to send a Jiaoweiqin, together with some soft silk and gold and silver.

Tong Jia is good at temperament, and occasionally when he is in a good mood, he will teach Yinzhen how to play the piano, so the fourth elder brother is also proficient in rhythm.

This was the first time Long Live Lord gave him a birthday gift, although the fourth elder brother had no superfluous expression on his face.

But Li Jingui knew that he must be very happy right now.

Because from that day on, every morning, he would take Li Jingui to play the piano near the cold palace.

Lord Kangxi ruled the world with benevolence and filial piety, and the sinful concubine imprisoned in the cold palace was also pardoned a few years ago and sent to the Taifei Hall to live up to her old age.

Although the fourth elder brother didn't say anything, he cherished this Jiaoweiqin very much.

Even before going to sleep, the fourth elder brother will carefully put Jiao Weiqin in the place closest to the pillow.

Early this morning, as usual, Li Jingui prepared breakfast early and waited for the fourth elder brother to eat.

But after waiting and waiting, the fourth elder brother did not open the door. He has always been strict with himself, and this is the first time she has seen him sleep in and get up late.

"Jingui...Li Jingui!"

The fourth elder brother's feeble voice came intermittently from behind the door.

"Grandpa, what happened?"

Li Jingui asked anxiously.

But the fourth elder brother didn't respond to her for a long time, she was shocked and couldn't care less, so she was very anxious and used brute force to open the door which was not secure.

I saw the fourth elder brother on the bed with a gloomy complexion, the sweat from the acne was like rain, and even the moon-white pillow was soaked with sweat.

"Master, what's wrong with you? Don't scare the slaves!"

The fourth elder brother just hummed subduedly, tossing and turning in pain on the bed, no matter how Li Jingui shouted, there was no response.

Trembling, she stretched out her hand to the fourth elder brother's forehead, it was so hot, and there was a scary red rash on his face.

"Don't be afraid, sir, wait for the servant to come back. The servant will go to the imperial concubine and empress, and the servant will beg her to ask the imperial physician to save you!"

Li Jingui ran to the main hall where Tong Jia lived with tears in her eyes, because she was very familiar with the symptoms of the fourth elder brother.

Five years ago, there was another little eunuch named Xiao Xizi who served the fourth elder brother with her.

When he had smallpox, his symptoms were exactly the same as the fourth elder brother's symptoms now.

She didn't dare to talk about the symptoms of the fourth elder brother, but only dared to falter and say that the fourth elder brother suddenly became seriously ill, because she was afraid that Tong Jia would be jealous.

She didn't see Tong Jia himself, but at any rate, the imperial concubine arranged for an elderly old doctor to treat the fourth elder brother.

When he got to the fourth elder brother's bedside, the imperial doctor was horrified when he saw the red spots on the fourth elder brother's body.

So he ordered Li Jingui to attach a strand of silk thread to the pulse of the fourth elder brother, and only after a long distance did he start to take the pulse.

After a while, he hurriedly loosened the silk thread and retreated to the door with a panicked complexion, his face was already as white as paper.

"Sure enough, it's smallpox pox!"

"My minister will prescribe some medicine to be taken internally and applied externally. If elder brother Hong Fu Qitian survives this disease, he won't have pockmarks all over his body and face after taking the medicine."

So in the evening, several powerful eunuchs followed the Queen Mother's order and invited the fourth elder brother to Huangzhuang outside the city to avoid acne.

He hurriedly invited the aunt shaman to send the Goddess of Pox to get rid of the pox and prevent the epidemic from spreading.

At this time, Li Jingui was waiting for the imperial doctor's order in the imperial hospital, but was pulled aside by a young eunuch who was unfamiliar.

"Are you the maid who takes care of the fourth elder brother?"

"The servant Li Jingui is the personal servant who serves the fourth prince! Does this little eunuch have anything to do with the servant?"

"Miss Debi ordered you to go out, there is something important to explain."

"The slaves obey."

It turned out to be the fourth elder brother's relative, Niang Wuya.Today is too hasty, but I forgot to inform her.

Presumably she must have also heard the news and was worried, so she came here to inquire about the condition of the fourth elder brother.

Li Jingui walked towards the outside of the hall anxiously, followed the little eunuch and walked for a long way, and finally saw the weeping Concubine De with red eyes in the Yuhua Pavilion near the Imperial Garden.

Seeing that Li Jingui was about to step into the cabinet, Concubine De showed a panicked look, and scolded anxiously with a high-pitched voice.

"Just stand outside and answer!"

Seemingly noticing that she was losing her composure, she frowned slightly, subconsciously took off the embroidered veil, and held her breath.

"Slave dog, how do you take care of your master! Drag him down and beat him to death!"

Hearing this, a aggressive nanny immediately walked up to Li Jingui, making a gesture to drag her outside for execution.

"Master, the fourth elder brother has been used to ordering slaves over the years, and now he is suffering from acne, and the disease will be worse than others. If he temporarily calls a strange slave, I am afraid it will delay the elder brother's condition!"

"I beg the master to be merciful and let the slaves take care of the fourth elder brother. After the fourth elder brother recovers, it is up to the master to decide whether to kill or cut him up!"

"Master, it is really difficult to recruit eunuchs and palace maids who will serve you personally. Those people don't know my elder brother's preferences, so I'm afraid they can't serve you well!"

"Leave this girl's humble life for the time being, and if you can save the fourth elder brother, it will be regarded as making up for it."

Lan Cui crawled at Debi's feet, based on her understanding of her master, if this little girl was executed, and based on her suspicious character, she would definitely send the most trusted palace servant to take care of the fourth elder brother.

Then this terrible job is likely to fall on her, the personal palace lady.

"Master, the safety of the fourth elder brother is very important! Please think twice, master!"

"Forget it, get out! Go down and take care of the fourth elder brother. If the fourth elder brother has any good or bad, I will play Ming Long Live Lord and punish you!"

Debi caressed her slightly protruding abdomen uneasily, the heavens have eyes, fortunately she was pregnant again with a dragon's heir.

Otherwise, if Yinzhen has something good or bad, then she will have no hope in this life!

"The prince who has said about smallpox will have a better chance of ascending to the throne. Your Majesty also suffered from smallpox when he was young. It would be great if this child, Yinzhen, can survive this catastrophe~"

Wu Yashi stroked his belly, muttering to himself with a lot of emotion.
