Hearing such surprising words, the three of them couldn't help but be stunned.
Zhang Tianxi and Bai Lu, who were standing on the ground, couldn't help but glance at each other. The same thought flashed through their minds. According to the time mentioned by Aunt Li, wouldn't it be that the tenth brother has been having a high fever for a whole afternoon? How old is he?
He is currently only one year and five months old at most. If he has had a high fever for so long, wouldn’t it mean that his brain will be burned out?
Qingyan, who was leaning on the bed, couldn't help but frown tightly. Today was clearly the baptism ceremony for the two little girls, thirteen and fourteen. Kangxi had to choose this time, sooner or later, to let Wei Zhu take care of Yongshou.
Aunt Du of the palace, doesn’t this clearly mean that Xiao Niu Hulu has nothing to do with the rumors? The twins are currently experiencing the third baptism ceremony peacefully, so he should take action to deal with those who spread the rumors.
.
She thought about this in her mind, and after a while she raised her head and said to Zhang Tianxi:
"Xiao Xizi, when you have time, go ask Liang Jiugong and see if Concubine Niu Hulu had any involvement in the rumors. Tell him that I am the direct relative of Thirteenth and Fourteenth. This matter has nothing to do with it.
The reputations and lives of the three of us, mother and son, are closely related. If the emperor investigates the matter clearly, I have the right to know who is behind this."
"Yes, your Majesty, this servant knows. I will go over and ask tomorrow when I will be on duty."
Zhang Tianxi nodded respectfully, then bowed and exited the inner room.
As soon as he left, Xiaosi, who was wearing a sable fur hat and a silver-gray winter coat, ran in, panting heavily.
"Eniang! Eniang! I'm back!"
"Brother Si, the cold on your body is too heavy. Master can't bear the cold now. Come on, I will help you flick the snowflakes off your head first."
Bai Lu, who was guarding the bedside, stopped Xiaosi who was about to rush to the imperial concubine. She patted the warm hat on his head with a smile and said.
Xiao Si was embarrassed when he heard this. Even though he was wearing a thick cloak when walking outside, it was snowy and windy outside, and there were still a lot of snowflakes drifting through the gaps in the cloak and into his warm hat and winter robe.
When Bai Lu patted the snowflakes off his warm hat, Xiaosi immediately jumped on the spot twice like a rabbit, bouncing off the rest of the scattered snowflakes on his body, and then walked to the bed in a few steps. He had just stepped on it
When she was on the footrest, Qingyan stretched out her hand and pulled her to sit on the edge of the bed.
Qingyan stretched out her left hand to hold her son's slightly cold hand, and gently pinched the soft flesh on Xiaosi's cheek with her right hand, and said with some distress:
"Xiaosi, didn't I, mother-in-law, tell you? It's easy to fall down on the snowy palace skating track. Why are you still running back?"
When Xiao Si heard this, he smiled flatteringly at his mother, stretched his neck and looked at Thirteen and Fourteen sleeping inside, then frowned and whispered:
"Mother, when we were getting ready to leave school in the afternoon, Khan Amma suddenly brought the prince's brother who was studying in the side hall of Qianqing Palace to the study room. He said he wanted to ask us about our homework. Who knew that just after asking me, Yongshou Palace
The little eunuch rushed into the study room in a panic and reported to Khan Ama that Xiao Shi's fever was very serious and could not be cured no matter what. Then Khan Ama hurriedly took the prince brother there, and I hurried over.
Ran back."
As soon as Xiaosi finished speaking, Qingyan's brows furrowed even more, and even Kangxi and Yinreng rushed over, which proved how serious Xiaoshi's symptoms were.
She struggled in her heart for a long time. On the one hand, she felt that Xiao Niu Hulu might have framed her behind her back. On the other hand, she recalled that little Yin'er was as white and tender as a small steamed bun, drooling with milk.
She looked like she was calling her "Emperor's Mother".
High fever can be a life-threatening thing for a little baby over one year old. She glanced at the twins sleeping soundly beside her, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, thinking that after all, today was the day for the two little ones to take a bath.
The auspicious day of three, if Xiao Shi really does not survive, it will cast a layer of gloom on this auspicious day.
After making a decision in her heart, she started to lift the brocade quilt on her body, put her legs under the bed and bent down to put on the indoor slippers on her feet. Bi said to Bai Lu without raising her head:
"Lu, go get me a thick wind-suppressing cloak. Let's go to Yongshou Palace now."
"Master, you are still in confinement! How can you go out in the wind and snow!"
When Bai Lu heard this, she immediately became anxious and opened her mouth to refuse with disapproval on her face.
Xiaosi also shook his head like a rattle and said to Qingyan in a serious tone:
"Mother, Aunt Bai is right. You should stay in bed and recuperate now. Mother Guo Luoma specially told me when she left the palace and returned home, saying that she wanted me to watch you in confinement."
Qingyan herself knew the condition of her body. Seeing that her confidants, the eldest palace maid and her eldest son, were completely uncooperative, she had no choice but to speak again:
"Don't worry, you two. My body is naturally healthy. As long as I wrap myself up a little thicker, I'll be fine. But if something happens to Xiao Shi at this juncture, everyone will talk about Thirteen and Fourteen in the future.
The three baptisms will inevitably be associated with Xiao Shi, and
And it’s almost the Chinese New Year, so it’s better to be festive. Although I’m not an imperial physician, and I don’t know how to treat illnesses, things are different now. I’m the imperial concubine in the palace. Xiaoshi please call me ‘Emperor’s Mother’.
His life is hanging by a thread right now, so I should go and take a look."
At this time, Grandma Li, who was still standing by the yellow rosewood table, also spoke out:
"The master is right. Everyone in the palace knows that the master is in confinement. If the master goes to visit the tenth prince who is seriously ill at this time, it will also be good for the master's reputation. The responsibilities of the imperial concubine and the imperial concubine are also different.
, the former can be said to be the prince and half-mother of the princess."
After hearing what the two of them said, Bai Lu had no choice but to compromise and go to the big closet on the east wall to get thick clothes for her master. Xiao Si also quickly ran to the hall and put on his cloak.
After Qingyan finished instructing Nanny Li to stay in the inner room and watch Thirteen and Fourteen, she used supernatural powers to surround her body to resist the cold air outside, and hurriedly walked out of Chuxiu Palace with Bai Lu and Xiao Si.
We followed the north-south palace road to Yongshou Palace.
After the three people rushed to Yongshou Palace, they saw a chaotic scene inside as soon as they entered the main hall. The little palace maids were holding basins of hot water and white sweat towels in their hands.
After that, her eyes widened in surprise, she hurriedly leaned over, and walked quickly out of the hall.
Qingyan frowned slightly, clenched her right hand and gently rubbed her soft fingers, then walked towards the inner room with the cotton curtain open. As soon as she reached the door, she heard Kangxi's angry growl:
"Xiao Niu Hulu, compared with your sister, you are really a world away. Even if you are now in the position of a noble concubine, don't think that you are irreplaceable. If you dare to do it again in the future,
If you die, I don't mind letting Aling'a's ten-year-old sister enter the palace to wait for the new year! Your fourth sister is the legitimate daughter of the more noble Yi Bilong!"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I really know that I was wrong, I really know that I was wrong."
Concubine Niu Hulu said with tears and choked with sobs.
After hearing the conversation between these two people, Qingyan still didn't understand. Xiao Niu Hulu was the initiator of the rumors!
She walked into the inner room with burning eyes. When she saw her, she saw Xiao Niu Hulu, her hair messy and her face pale, kneeling beside Kangxi's legs. She stretched out her hands to tightly grasp the hem of Kangxi's bright yellow dragon robe.
, looked up at him and begged.
"Aunt, Xiaosi, why are you here?"
Yinreng, who was standing next to Kangxi with a frown, saw the imperial concubine, his eyes widened and he asked loudly.
Kangxi also turned his attention to the door after hearing this. When he saw that the person who should be lying on the bed for confinement unexpectedly appeared here, his pupils could not help but shrink, and then he shook off Xiao Niu Hulu's hand that was holding his clothes.
He strode over and asked:
"Yan'er, why are you here? Aren't you just fooling around?"
Qingyan bypassed Kangxi's hand that wanted to grab her, walked straight to Xiao Niu Hulu, bent down and pinched her chin tightly with her right hand, looked at Xiao Niu Hulu with burning eyes, and spoke in a cold voice.
said:
"Niu Hulu Mingya, because the successor Niu Hulu is a good person, I always feel that as her biological sister, you are also a smart person. If you want to squeeze out of my position, naturally
It should be done openly, but you should never start with the children of this palace. Don’t you know that rumors can easily get out of control, and a rumor from the disaster star can easily destroy the thirteenth and fourteenth companies?
Don’t you have any chance of being born from your mother’s womb?”
Xiao Niu Hulu was forced to raise her face and look at Qingyan. She felt that her chin was about to be crushed by the imperial concubine. She had a premonition that if the imperial concubine put her hand on her neck at this time, she would
He was definitely dead at this moment.
She couldn't help but swallow her saliva, stumbled in fear, and said vaguely:
"Hesheli, Hesheli Qingyan, I, I am not that stupid. What I let people spread to the outside world is the rumor of Lucky Star. There were people behind me who stepped in and got involved.
Transformed into a disaster star rumor."
When Kangxi saw that Qingyan already knew about this, he couldn't help but clenched his fist hanging by his side and said with some embarrassment:
"Yan'er, what Xiaoniu Hulu said is right. She did spread the rumor about the lucky star. The later rumors about the bad star were made by rebels who were hostile to the imperial court."
When Qingyan heard the truth, she immediately changed her mind. She moved her gaze to Xiao Niu Hulu's face and smiled mockingly at her:
"Then I really want to thank you for spreading the name of our mother and son among the people. How does it feel to steal the chicken but lose the rice? There must be a cause and effect in this world. Since you have the courage to do this, then your wet nurse
He was taken care of, and his son was frightened and had a high fever. This is all your retribution. Just feel happy when you see the current situation."
After she finished saying this, she threw Xiao Niu Hulu away as if she was throwing away garbage in disgust.
When the father and son standing together saw the imperial concubine's hand leaving, the originally fair chin of the imperial concubine Niu Hulu instantly turned purple. They couldn't help but swallow their saliva, feeling that even if Yan'er/aunt/Eniang sat down,
I'm still in confinement, but the lethality is still as high as the other two.
Qingyan didn't care about the father and son at this time, but quickly walked to the cradle and crib. She looked at Xiao Shi lying in it, his face was red from the fever, his mouth was covered with dry skin, and his clothes were stripped off.
A red bellyband to protect your belly.
Standing aside, Dr. Zhang was constantly wiping his limbs, armpits, palms, and feet with warm water mixed with wine and a white sweat towel to physically cool him down.
Qingyan bent down through the railing and reached out to grab Xiao Shi's chubby little hand, inputting super powers into his weak body, and asked Doctor Zhang who was standing opposite: "Mr. Zhang, Xiao Shi's condition at the moment
How exactly is it?"
Little Niu Hulu, who was lying on the ground, saw the imperial concubine touching her son. She quickly endured the pain and climbed up from the ground with difficulty, staggering towards the crib.
Doctor Zhang was also surprised that the Imperial Concubine, who was in confinement, would brave the wind and snow to come over to visit the Tenth Prince at night. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, I am afraid that this is the only one in the entire Forbidden City who cares about the prince. All the princesses have a loving mother.
He sighed deeply, glanced at Brother Ten, who was in a coma due to fever, and said with great pity:
"Returning to the Imperial Concubine, fortunately, Brother Ten is not allergic to wine. Wei Chen used this wine to cool him down, but it worked. However, he is too young and has been suffering from high fever for such a long time.
No matter how light the drink is, it will still be absorbed by his skin. Wei Chen thinks that it will happen after Brother Ten subsides his fever."
"What are you afraid of?"
When Kangxi heard this, he quickly took his two sons to the bedside and asked urgently.
Doctor Zhang turned to Kangxi, buried his head deeply, closed his eyes and said softly: "I'm afraid that the brain of the tenth elder brother will be inferior to that of the other elder brothers in the future. The princesses are so smart, and they may feel a little uncomfortable in reading."
It’s laborious and not that bright.”
"What? Doesn't this mean that Xiao Shi will become a idiot brother in the future?"
As an educated man, Kangxi had high demands on himself, and the strict standards of the Qing University Master also set a diligent and almost year-round study system for his sons. After being busy with government affairs on weekdays, his favorite thing was to treat his sons who were studying
They all gathered together and asked them a small question every five days and a big question every ten days, hoping that each of them would be filled with ink, and when they grow up, they can stand alone and become the pillars of the imperial court.
For the first time today, I heard Dr. Zhang say that he had a son who would be a waste in the future. He really couldn't accept it, so he frowned and opened his mouth to ask.
Xiao Niu Hulu, who had always had high hopes for his son, heard Kangxi blurt out the words "Idiot Brother" and instantly heard his sweet dream of "hoping for his son to ascend the throne" shattering in his ears.
It was a mess. I was so stimulated at the moment that I couldn't help but close my eyes. Then I fell heavily to the ground with a "plop" and fell unconscious.
