Before Ji Ling entered the Kyushu Qingyan Hall, the strong smell of medicine mixed with the smell of realgar and tung seeds and fine fire smoke hit his face.
The people in the palace who came in and out all covered their faces with cloth handkerchiefs, and looked nervous as they came and went. Before Ji Ling could stand firm on his front foot, Uranala had already followed him on his back foot.
She was talking frankly, and had just been reported by the royal family. At this time, her face was wrapped in three or four layers of gauze, and her mouth was covered tightly. If it weren't for the queen's uniform, Ji Ling would hardly be able to tell the difference.
Who is this.
The queen stepped onto the imperial steps in front of Qingyan Palace in Jiuzhou.
Behind her, there was a twilight that was about to fall, and the sky was dark and unclear.
All the people in the palace knelt down in darkness and paid their respects to the Queen and Concubine Chen.
Ji Ling felt blessed and said hurriedly to Uranala: "I send my regards to the Queen, may the Queen be blessed with peace of mind!"
Ulanara didn't have the thought to say anything else at this time, so he immediately raised his hand to signal her to get up. The two looked at each other anxiously, and Ji Ling followed the queen and walked towards Yinzhen's dormitory.
The further they walked toward the back hall, the smell of Suhe and mugwort became stronger. When they reached the door of the dormitory, Ulanara stopped and subconsciously lifted up the face covering and covered his mouth and nose tightly.
Ji Ling looked in from the door of the dormitory: the curtains inside were low, and among the shadows, the low and nervous voices of the imperial doctors came from inside. Hearing the news from outside that the Queen and Concubine Chen were here, several gray-haired imperial doctors hurriedly
Following Liu Shengfang, the envoy from Taiyuan Hospital, everyone's face was tightly tied with gauze, only their eyes were exposed. Even in front of the Queen, they did not dare to take it off for a moment.
Liu Yuan's envoy was at the forefront of the crowd, and he knelt down, trembling and said: "I send my regards to the Queen, may the Queen be blessed with peace!"
In a blink of an eye, he saw Ji Ling standing next to him, and quickly turned to his knees and said, "I would like to pay my regards to Concubine Chen!"
Uranala called him and asked: "How is the emperor?"
Liu Yuanshi looked solemn and said: "Your Majesty works hard on state affairs, works hard to govern, works hard and sleeps day and night, and never relaxes. Being so idle for many years is extremely harmful to your body! In addition, since the death of Prince Yi last year, the Emperor has been
Melancholy..."
Ulanara interrupted him and said, "Look carefully? Is it the Spring Plague in the capital?"
Liu Yuan trembled his beard and said in a trembling voice: "To tell you the Queen - yes, look at these symptoms, it's nine out of ten!"
Uranara's body swayed and he staggered back, almost losing his balance, thanks to the palace maid supporting him.
She composed herself, frowned, and whispered: "Since the Spring Plague in the capital, the Old Summer Palace has been extremely careful. How could we let this disease enter the Jiuzhou Qingyan Palace?"
Liu Yuanshi sighed and said: "Returning to the Empress, when the epidemic spreads, it will spread all over the world, and then it will spread in one area. This disease is very ferocious and cannot be prevented. Your Majesty is the most respected person in the Nine-Five-Year Plan, and all state affairs must be entrusted to His Majesty's hands.
Judgment. I have just asked Eunuch Su: Although the morning dynasty has been suspended, it is still inevitable for ministers and workers to discuss affairs in private. As long as someone comes in and out, the plague can be brought in! I gave an inappropriate analogy: For example, if there is
A gentleman is infected with the plague and has not yet spread it. Others only think that he is in good health and can come to the palace. Even if he only kowtows to the emperor and exchanges a few words, it is difficult to protect the emperor from being infected!"
Although Uranala knew that the plague was serious, he still changed his expression after hearing what Liu Yuanshi said. Seeing Liu Yuanshi turn aside to make way for him, he immediately turned his face slightly and said: "Liu Yuanshi,
You must take good care of the Emperor!"
When Emperor Liu saw her turning her face away, he knew what she meant. He knelt down and said respectfully: "I would like to obey the Queen Mother's instructions!"
Ulanara nodded, and when he was about to say something else, he saw that Concubine Chen had already asked the palace servants to close the curtain and walked inside.
Liu Yuanshi stood up, followed behind and whispered: "Concubine Chen! Be careful, don't get too close."
Seeing the curtain lifted and the medicinal gas coming out of the Nuan Pavilion, Ulanara immediately raised his hand to cover his mouth in panic and took another step back.
Ji Ling walked in and saw that deep inside the curtain, outside Yinzhen's dragon bed, the yellow curtain was drooping. Imperial Physician An and several other imperial physicians were guarding the bed, discussing something with each other in low voices.
Yinzhen was leaning on a nine-dragon satin gold octagonal pillow. He was still conscious as usual, but his spirit was listless and his face was pale. When several imperial doctors turned around and saw that it was Concubine Chen who had come in, they immediately stood up, knelt down and knelt down to say hello.
.
Ji Ling was still far away before he could reach him. When Yinzhen saw him, his expression changed and he immediately shouted: "Lingling, go back! This disease is extremely serious. You must not come near me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand into a fist, brought it close to his lips, and coughed violently.
While coughing, Yinzhen pointed at Ji Ling and ordered without explanation: "Su Peisheng, send Concubine Chen back to me."
He is already so ill, but he still cares about me - Ji Ling thought.
She felt extremely sad. Every time she heard Yinzhen cough, it was as if an invisible hand was pulling hard on her heart.
She stood in the distance and said word by word: "Your Majesty, don't be anxious. I will listen to your Majesty and I won't come close."
Yinzhen coughed violently, but there was no phlegm sound—it was just a pure dry cough.
A dry cough like this is the most harmful to the lungs.
It took him a while to calm down, and he said to Ji Ling: "You are not allowed to come near to visit - this is my will, Lingling is obedient!"
Yinzhen turned his head and said in a hoarse voice to Su Peisheng: "Concubine Chen, the third princess, and the sixth prince can no longer live together in the world. We will arrange for them to move into the natural landscape tonight."
He paused and said, "Don't be arrogant."
Su Peisheng bowed and whispered: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the natural painting has been tidied up all the time. Even if Concubine Chen stays there tonight, it will be done - I will send someone to take care of it immediately!"
Yinzhen closed his eyes slightly, leaned back on the pillow, and stopped talking. He only felt that there was a fire in his chest. The sparks went up and down, and he didn't know when it reached his throat. His throat was swollen and painful, as if he had swallowed a knife.
He closed his eyes and raised his hand to gesture to Ji Ling, meaning to let her out.
Qixi stretched out her hand to support Ji Ling, and saw Su Peisheng bending over and saying in a low voice: "Your Majesty is worried about the Emperor, and the Emperor is also afraid that Your Majesty will be infected with the disease. In order to put His Majesty's peace of mind, Your Majesty should listen to Your Majesty's wishes!"
Ji Ling lowered her eyes silently and finally turned around and went out.
After getting out of Nuange, she did not leave immediately, but only listened to the movement inside. Yinzhen probably thought that she had obeyed and went back, and suddenly he couldn't suppress a heartbreaking cough.
The palace people rushed back and forth in a hurry, delivering water and medicine. A little palace maid walked quickly and bumped into Ji Ling. She didn't stop, and it was too late for Qixi to stop her.
The little palace maid splashed some of the medicine jar in her hand onto the hem of Ji Ling's skirt. When she raised her head and saw clearly that it was Concubine Chen, she was immediately frightened to the spot.
Ji Ling silently raised her finger and pointed inside, asking her to put the medicine in quickly.
