Mrs. Xu took off all her clothes and got into the barrel. Although it was midsummer at the moment, the well water and the ice cubes in the water still made Mrs. Xu feel cold all over. She wanted to get up from the water immediately, but in order to avoid sleeping with her tonight, she had to go to bed again.
Leng also had to grit his teeth and endure it, and even asked Zirong to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to ask for some ice.
At night, the eunuch from the Jingsi Room came to Changyueju to take Mrs. Xu to the Yangxin Hall, but found that she was shaking all over and her face was pale. After asking, he learned that Mrs. Xu suddenly had a fever and had already sent for the imperial doctor.
With Xu's condition in this state, there is no doubt that she cannot sleep with him, otherwise they would not be able to bear the consequences if the disease were transmitted to the emperor and the dragon's body was damaged.
Seeing those eunuchs leaving, Mrs. Xu breathed a long sigh of relief. She finally managed to deal with it. But she could not escape the first day of the new year, but she could not escape the fifteenth day. Sooner or later, Yinzhen would try to trick her again. Will she do it again?
?
After diagnosing Xu's pulse and finding that she just had a cold, the imperial physician prescribed a prescription, told her to take the medicine on time, and then left. However, when Zi Rong handed the cooked medicine to Xu, Xu
He walked to the window and poured the medicine out.
Zi Rong was startled at first, then understood and said silently: "Master, have you really thought about it? If you do this, your condition may become more serious or even life-threatening."
Mrs. Xu smiled bitterly and said: "Then do you have a better way? If you want to avoid going to bed, the only way is to stay sick and never get better."
Zi Rong shook her head and said nothing, because this was indeed the only way. She just hoped that this secret could be kept secret forever and would not be revealed one day.
When the night was still dark, the news spread that Mrs. Xu could not sleep with her due to illness. After listening to the news obtained by Yang Hai, Ling Ruo sighed slightly: "I actually came up with such a way to avoid sleeping with you. Look!
Lady Xu is really afraid that the emperor will discover that she is no longer perfect."
Sanfu said from the side: "It's a pity that some things will be discovered sooner or later, and we can't hide them for long."
His words made Ling Ruo sigh again and said softly: "I feel really sorry for harming an innocent person like this."
She can do anything cold-hearted to protect the people around her, but occasionally when she thinks back, she still feels guilty and sad.
Sanfu glanced at her and said, "Actually, I don't think Xu Guiren is innocent because she did something wrong. I can only say that she brought it upon herself." After all, Sanfu had been with Nala for many years and was deeply influenced by him.
.
"I also know this, but if I and Concubine Jin hadn't secretly pushed her, she wouldn't have embarked on this path." Ling Ruo looked down at her slender white hands, "I don't know how much blood is stained on these hands, it seems.
, after my death, I am destined to go to the eighteenth level of hell."
Shuixiu heard this and said: "If King Yama really wants to sentence the master to go to the eighteenth level of hell in the future, then this slave will go with the master."
Ling Ruo smiled and said nothing more, just silently looking at the night sky full of stars. Whether it was hell or eternal damnation, these were all things in the future. The most important thing now was to protect the people she cared about at all costs.
It is said that illness comes like falling down from a mountain, and illness goes away like spinning threads. This sentence is most suitable for Xu's case. It was just a cold. The imperial doctor looked at it three or four times, but it never got better, and the cough became more and more serious.
.
On this day, Mrs. Xu was recuperating in the house. Suddenly she saw Ling Ruo coming in. She quickly raised her weak body and said, "Mother, why are you here?" After that, she said angrily to Zi Rong, who followed Ling Ruo in.
He said: "You girl, why didn't you come in first to inform me so that I could go out to greet the empress?"
Before Zi Rong could speak, Ling Ruo had already said: "I didn't let her report. Xu Guiren is weak, so it's better to lie down on the bed. How about it? Do you feel better?"
Mrs. Xu covered her lips and coughed softly and said, "I'm still the same as before. It seems that my concubine's illness is getting better."
Ling Ruo scolded lightly: "What nonsense are you talking about? There is no disease in the world that can't be cured. However, there is no rush to recuperate. You have to take your time." After that, she glanced at Shuixiu, who nodded knowingly.
hold in hand
He put a bowl of bright red and translucent bird's nest out of the stew pot and handed it to Mrs. Xu, saying: "Mr. Xu, my master specially ordered the slave to stew this. Only a little honey is added. It is most suitable for patients. Please try it."
"
Mrs. Xu said gratefully: "Your Majesty came to see me and I was flattered. How can I afford to stew such precious blood swallows?"
Ling Ruo smiled and said: "You saved Concubine Jin's life. You are not only Concubine Jin's benefactor, but also my benefactor. No matter how much you do, you should do it." Before Xu could say anything else, she said: "While the bird's nest is still hot,
, drink it soon.”
"Yes." Mrs. Xu responded, and drank the whole bowl of bird's nest with Shuixiu's hand. She didn't know that Ling Ruo had added some unknown things to the bowl of bird's nest; nor did she know that she was thinking
The secrets to be kept will surface bit by bit because of this bowl of bird's nest.
When the harem was in turmoil, the previous dynasty also began to have turmoil. After more than a year, Zhejiang finally implemented the New Deal. Although it was not satisfactory, it finally narrowly passed that level. Whether it was Yin
Both Zhen and Li Wei secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After receiving the report from Zhejiang, Yinzhen issued the decree that he had suppressed for a long time and issued a decree to implement the new policy nationwide.
This decree undoubtedly gave Yingge a big headache, because as a result, the money donated by various places would be much less, making it difficult to maintain normal expenses.
It's really strange. Originally, the situation in Zhejiang was on the verge of collapse, and Li Wei was even more exhausted and unable to suppress the rebellion everywhere. But after Hong Zhou went there, he actually took control of the situation again and even arrested a wealthy man.
Establishing prestige, the remaining wealthy households did not dare to act rashly, and a few timid ones even agreed to implement the New Deal, which is really strange.
Hong Zhou... Is it possible that this matter has something to do with Hong Zhou? Although both Li Wei's memorial and the secret letters quickly submitted by several Zhejiang officials show that this matter has nothing to do with Hong Zhou and everything is Li Wei's.
But it still made Yingge suspicious of Hong Zhou, suspecting that he was secretly helping Li Wei.
When Yingge became suspicious of Hong Zhou, Hong Zhan, who had been absent from the capital for many months, finally returned. Instead of returning to his mansion, he went to the palace to see Yinzhen. After carefully talking to Yinzhen about the situation in Zhejiang, he
, went to Yonghe Palace to meet Concubine Yu, and then left the palace to go to the Duke's Mansion.
When Hong Zhou came, Ying Ge was discussing matters with Hong Shi. After hearing the report, he was hesitating whether to meet him or not. Hong Shi already said: "Uncle, since he is here, you should meet him.
I just want to hear how he explains what happened in Zhejiang."
