The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 372 Pox Epidemic ([-])

Wan Lai's words immediately attracted everyone's attention to Rong Yue.

Especially Yinti's biological mother, Nala Yuwen, was the most nervous. She kept rubbing her hands on her light green green lotus gown, and wanted to ask questions, but she was afraid of being reprimanded by Rong Yue, and her lips parted for a while. Zhang, but couldn't utter a word.

Rong Yue sat on the head seat, and sighed with a long sigh: "I finally escaped a catastrophe. On that day, Yinti had a conflict with the prince, and the children made him feel unwell, so I went to the Shang study for a few days off. Day, let the child cultivate well in the palace."

After the words fell, Yuwen was the first to bear the brunt of the relief, and others followed her to comfort her.

But only Wanyu knew in her heart that she had seen the truth during the visit that day, that Yinti was fine, and Rongyue was extremely nervous about his studies, so why did she ask for leave for Yinti for no reason?
With a lot of thoughts in mind, when he asked Anbi to leave the palace, he happened to see Yinti playing in the courtyard, so she came forward with a smile on her face, and gently stroked Yinti's forehead and asked, "Brother, see you?" All right?"

Yinyu bowed respectfully to Wanyu, and replied: "Mistress Wan is in her arms, and my son and minister are fine."

Wanyu slid on his juicy face, turned her thoughts, and said: "I was wronged by the prince that day, and seeing the bruises on your chest, Tong Niangniang felt even more distressed. I heard that the child's chest was injured. It hurts every day, but I won’t be able to grow taller in the future.”

Hearing what Wanyu said, Yinyu looked obviously anxious, stomped his feet childishly and said: "Ms. Wan, my younger brother is not serious about attacking, and my son will be healed after only a quarter of an hour of pain. Since returning to the palace, there has been no pain." Uncomfortable. Madam Wan, is it possible that I will not be tall? Wen Da said, riding a horse and shooting requires strength, and you have to be tall and strong to practice it. I like those things, if you are not tall Yes, but what's the matter?"

Wanyu's heart sank, but she forced a warm smile on her face, jokingly said: "If it only hurts for a while, then of course it won't. I just heard from your mother that you have been sick for the past few days because of your discomfort. Didn't go to class. If it's not because of the pain, why?"

Yinti lowered his eyebrows, kicked the stones on the ground in boredom, shook his head and said: "Mother said that I want my son to recuperate in the palace for a few days, but my son has repeatedly stated that my son is fine, and the imperial doctor has come to see him, and the prescription has not yet been prescribed. Gone. But the mother still insisted on this, the son dared not disobey the mother's will, for fear of offending the mother, so these few days' lessons were all read in private in the palace, always afraid of falling behind the class and offending the mother. Master scolded."

"Brother works so hard, no wonder your Huang Ama likes you, and Madam Wan also likes you."

Wanyu coaxed Yinti, this child is really sensible and makes people feel distressed.However, it is always inappropriate to be used by others because of sensibility, and instead become a weight in one's own sinister calculations.

After leaving Chengqian Palace, Wanyu remained silent when she got into the sedan chair.

Yun Chan looked at her with something on her mind, so she asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, what do you suspect?"

"If you ask this question, even you doubt it."

Yun Chan sighed in vain, and said helplessly: "But this servant feels that the concubine's kindness and kindness will not be like this."

"As for not, who can say for sure?" Wanyu slowly opened the car curtain, and continued in a low voice: "Bai Changqing is usually able to leave the palace. When you see him, ask him to leave the palace to do things for the palace." One thing. Explore the suburbs of Beijing where there may be pox epidemics."

Yun Channuo responded to the matter and asked about the reason, but Wanyu said: "Didn't you hear that the disease was infected by the prince from the inside of Chuanshan? But why is it not someone else, but the person who passed it on?" ?The person who passed on the meal must first test the dishes one by one before they will be used by the prince. If there is a problem with the dish, it is natural that the inner eunuch and the prince were infected at the same time. How did one person infect the other? What do you mean? In the past, Empress Renxiao replaced her nurse's clothes with those of a patient infected with wind disease, which caused Chengrui and Chengxiang to lose their lives one after another, and even implicated her own son. I'm afraid someone will repeat the same trick today."

Due to the serious illness of the prince, the imperial hospital held rounds for consultation and consultation, and no one was allowed to go out of the palace, so the questioning of going out of the palace was delayed.

At the beginning of December, it was Yinzhen's full moon period, and it stands to reason that the decree to be raised under Wanyu's knees should have been passed to the Changchun Palace, but there was no movement for a long time.

Linlan looked forward to it day by day, and finally got an imperial edict when the prince's condition improved on the third day of December.

The fourth son of the emperor, Yinzhen, will move to the Qian Palace from now on, and will be brought up by the noble concubine Tong.

This decree shocked Wanyan and Rongyue beyond measure.

Obviously the emperor had already promised himself to raise Yinzhen that day, why did he make such a decree?

After many inquiries, it was found out from the mouth of Li Jian in front of the imperial court that it was because when Yinfeng was ill, Wanyu had taken care of it for a period of time in the side hall of Qianqing Palace for the first time. The pox epidemic disease may remain hidden in the human body for several years. If Wan Lai contracted the disease in the past, it may break out a few months later.

When the emperor heard such words, he naturally put the safety of the emperor's heirs first, so he raised Yinzhen under Rong Yue's knees. ①
Wan Lai questioned suspiciously, only to find out that the imperial doctor who made such remarks was named Zhang Kui, and this person was originally appointed by the imperial hospital to serve Rong Yuejin when she became a noble concubine.

For a moment, Wan Yu had a vague premonition in her heart.

If the crown prince died due to illness, Rong Yue would have three princes, Yinti, Yinzhi, and Yinzhen, and he would choose a successor. If she hadn't done it, who else would?
But even so, she strongly restrained her thoughts, for fear of wronging Rong Yue.

Just wait for Bai Changqing to send back the news before making a decision.

God is merciful, ancestors are blessed.

Yinfeng's illness was finally cured on the ninth day of December in the 17th year of Kangxi.

The emperor was overjoyed for a while, and rewarded the imperial hospital, not to mention the top and bottom, and even sacrificed Fangze, Taimiao, Sheji, etc., and announced the good news to the subjects all over the world.

The crown prince recovered from his illness, and the whole palace was full of joy. The imperial physicians in the imperial hospital had been exhausted for several days. What they thought was their head was hanging on their waistbands, but now they turned the danger into a safe place. It is really embarrassing.

Yun Chan immediately told Bai Changqing what Wanyan ordered that day, and she went out of the palace at night, so she searched around without taking a rest.

In the early morning, the second person ordered Li Yin to go to the imperial hospital to search for someone. Seeing that the person had not yet returned, Wanyu knew that there must be a clue to this matter, which delayed Bai Changqing's return to the palace.

Seeing Yun Chan's worried face and fearing punishment from the Tai Hospital, Wan Yu ordered the Tai Hospital, saying that she privately ordered Bai Changqing to find some nourishing prescriptions outside the palace to help her conceive early.

Everyone heard what she said, but because she was the emperor's favorite concubine, they didn't dare to say another word.

　Remarks ①: Yinzhen was born in Yinshi on October 17, 1678th year of Kangxi (December 12, 13), in the Yonghe Palace in the Forbidden City, Beijing, and his biological mother was Defei Wuya.Because his biological mother Wu Ya was of low birth, she could not give Yinzhen a special status among princes. In addition, the harem did not allow her biological mother to raise her son in the early Qing Dynasty.Empress Xiaoyiren is the daughter of Tong Guowei, the first-class prince, and the niece of Empress Xiaochengren (the Empress Dowager Cihe). Empress Xiaoyiren never gave birth to a prince. Because of his dignity, Yinzhen probably intended to curry favor with her. (The Tong Jia family here is the imperial concubine Tong Rongyue. Her mother's family became the Tong Jia family after being raised a flag in the 27th year of Kangxi, and it is now the Tong family.)
