Harem for a living

Chapter 140

There was no news from Manager Ming's side. Presumably, a cleaning eunuch really didn't know much.Even Qi Mei who waited by Ci Ning's side every day couldn't get any news, let alone the eunuch who could not even get close to the main hall of Ci Ning Palace.

This time, Ci Ning didn't leak any news.As for Concubine Shu, Chen Manrou only got a few unimportant news from Meng Xiaoyi. As for Concubine Shu's real plan, she didn't even touch the edge.

Mrs. Chen entered the palace in person, frowned in Zhongcui Palace and said: "The one who worked in Concubine Shu's Yikun Palace that day was a side branch of the Liu family. I only found out that those two people made a fortune, but I didn't find out that day. What happened to Yikun Palace?"

"The Liu family? Concubine Liu's house?" Chen Manrou was a little puzzled, and the old lady Chen nodded: "Although she is out of the fifth service, she still walks around a lot. Recently, Gongjun's palace is also a bit uneasy. Originally, when the son-in-law died, The remaining three bastards started to compete for the title, didn’t one become disabled in the past two years? Another one died last year, and the remaining one became seriously ill at the beginning of this year, and it is estimated that he will not live for a few days.”

"Could it be possible that Prince Gong's Mansion can still be in touch with the palace?" Chen Manrou was even more surprised, and the old lady gave her a white look: "How can it be possible that there is no connection at all with the clan and family in the capital? Yes, you can send the news to the palace."

Chen Manrou stuck out her tongue and leaned on the old lady Chen's shoulder: "Grandmother said that, did she notice something? But what the hell are Empress Dowager Ci Ning and Concubine Shu going to do?"

"You." Mrs. Chen stretched out her hand and tapped her forehead: "You have to find a way to let the fourth prince hide out for a few days. It's best to leave the palace without arousing the emperor's suspicion. I'm thinking , Empress Dowager Ci Ning and Concubine Shu don't know who is taking advantage of whom, maybe there will be a bloody storm in the palace."

Chen Manrou didn't speak, old lady Chen squeezed her palm: "I know you have always been soft-hearted. You have been in the palace for so many years, and you have never taken the initiative to harm anyone. You are just on guard. However, the situation in this palace will one day change. Breakthrough, Ci Ning's side is definitely going to explode once, instead of waiting for the future, it is better to hide this time while you are pregnant. When the situation opens, it is your chance. If the situation cannot be opened, at most you It’s because you don’t have the best information, anyway, you are not involved in these things, so you don’t have to worry about being caught.”

"Okay then, I turned around and thought of a way to let Xiaosi hide out of the palace for now." Chen Manrou is not really a soft-hearted person, this road was planned when she first entered the palace, now When things came to an end, she naturally wanted to follow the trend.

Right now, it seems that what Concubine Shu and Ci Ning are plotting must be the Queen's position.Concubine Shu is courageous and is willing to cooperate with Ci Ning, but Chen Manrou does not believe that Ci Ning's goals are only the queen and the eldest prince, so there must be something on Ci Ning's side that is hiding from Concubine Shu, and Concubine Shu may not be all I told Ci Ning everything.

The two of them want to gamble with the lives of everyone in the palace, and they just need to stand by and reap the benefits.

After seeing off Mrs. Chen, Chen Manrou called over to Yueyue: "Is there a way to make Xiao Si get rashes? It looks like smallpox."

Yuyue was startled, seeing that Chen Manrou didn't seem to be joking, so he had to think for a while and said, "Yes, a medicine can be prepared to cause severe allergies, and then large rashes will appear, and at the same time, the body temperature of the Fourth Prince will rise. The first time you take the pulse, it may cause the false impression of smallpox. However, this kind of thing cannot fool the imperial physicians with relatively high medical skills, such as Li Yuyi, they will definitely diagnose it."

Chen Manrou leaned on the soft pillow and thought for a while, then told Xiangyue: "What is the prescription? Will this little four harm my body if I eat it?"

"I'm allergic." He repeated it honestly to Yueyue. Although Chen Manrou felt distressed, she didn't give up on this idea. Ci Ning was going crazy. Who can guarantee that she will only attack people from the Queen's side and not others People start?

She would rather let Xiao Si get sick and recuperate outside the palace for a period of time, rather than keep Xiao Si in the palace, and let Ci Ning have a chance to kill Xiao Si.

The prescription was relatively simple, and Chen Manrou ordered Xiangyue to take two of them to the Tai Hospital, which appeared to be the kind that dissipated heat and detoxified.Someone brought Xiaosi back, and Chen Manrou carefully told her that she was thinking of Xiaosi, so this matter must be made clear, so as not to leave any shadow in Xiaosi's heart, and then the mother and child will be separated. stand up.

"That's it. Someone in the palace is trying to kill you. Mother can't find out who is trying to kill you now, so I can only temporarily find a way to send you out of the palace and let you live at your grandmother's house for a while. Wait for the bad guys in the palace to be caught by your father." Stay here, and you can come back."

"Eating this medicine will make you allergic, that is, you will have red rashes on your body, and you will be very uncomfortable. You have to bear with it. When you come back, mother will cook you something delicious." Chen Manrou's eyes were red. , but never left her.

"There are bad people, don't tell your father yet. There are bad people in the harem because your father didn't manage it well. It's a very embarrassing thing. You like the father the most, right? If you like the father the most, then You can't embarrass your father, just pretend you don't know about it, and your father won't be embarrassed."

"When you're outside the palace, you have to listen to your grandfather and grandmother. You must know that your mother will always miss you. You must also listen to your aunt and aunt. You must also listen to your sister Yue and sister Jinhuan. Don't be naughty. ?"

After giving some instructions, Xiaosi nodded with tears in her eyes, but she still looked forward to it with a little excitement when she thought that she would be able to leave the palace. Anyway, mother said that it would just be uncomfortable, and it will be fine after a while , he is not afraid, he is a man.

"Go and ask the imperial doctor! Close the Zhongcui Palace." Three days later, Chen Manrou repeatedly ordered: "Lichun, go to Qianqing Palace and report to the emperor. The fourth prince may have smallpox, so let the emperor prepare the vehicle quickly. The prince is out of the palace."

Doctor Li soon came over with a medicine box, and Chen Manrou led him in, with a worried expression on his face: "Doctor Li, Xiao Si must have had smallpox. A while ago, he only said he was uncomfortable, I just thought He was exposed to heat during the day, unexpectedly, he suddenly started to have a fever yesterday, and a large rash appeared on his body."

Doctor Li didn't have time to answer, so he just went in to check Xiao Si's pulse. After a while, he turned to look at Chen Manrou, who still had a look of anxiety on his face: "This is smallpox, right? My God, I must tell the emperor." , I want to take Xiao Si to hide outside the palace, and when Xiao Si's smallpox is cured, we will come back..."

While speaking, Chen Manrou rubbed her eyes with a handkerchief.Duiyue stuffed a purse into Li Yuyi's hand from behind.Li Yuyi had some hesitation on his face, after a while, he was relieved when he heard the report that the emperor had come.

"Your Majesty, the Fourth Prince has a rash and high fever, and has symptoms of smallpox, but it's not smallpox. I can't be sure for now." Li Yuyi is very honest, he is the emperor's person, and there is no way to lie to the emperor at the moment , and wanted to sell Chen Manrou a favor, so she gave a rather vague answer.

Anyway, looking at Concubine Chen Gui like this, she just wanted to take the Fourth Prince to live outside the palace for a while, so there shouldn't be any serious problems.If this matter was harmful to the emperor, he would never say such a thing.

With deep pain on his face, the emperor, regardless of Liu Cheng's dissuasion, first went to the bedside to look at Xiaosi: "Is there a way to treat it?"

"Of course there are. The fourth prince has just started to have a fever and rash. As long as the treatment is done properly, the fourth prince will be fine." Li Yuyi said on the side, and Chen Manrou knelt down to the emperor: "I beg the emperor, let the concubine take you with me." Xiao Si went outside the uterus for treatment."

"My concubine, get up quickly. You don't have to go out with Xiaosi. Didn't the doctor Li say that? Xiaosi has just started to have a rash, and it must be cured." The emperor quickly helped Chen Manrou up, Chen Manrou shook her head, crying Wang Wang looked at the emperor: "The emperor thinks about my concubine and Xiaosi, and I am very grateful, but the emperor, there are still the eldest prince, the second prince, the third prince and the fifth prince in the palace, the eldest princess, the second princess, the third princess and the fourth princess, and the empress is pregnant again." , Empress Dowager Ci Ning is ill again, Empress Dowager Ci An is also getting old, I can't stay in the palace, I beg the emperor to let my concubine take Xiao Si out of the palace."

The emperor was a little hesitant. Although he loved Xiaosi very much, Chen Manrou was right. He had not only Xiaosi as a child, but also several other children. Even the queen had a son in her belly, so he couldn't take risks.

"Your majesty, don't worry. Didn't the doctor Li also say that? Xiaosi just got a rash, and it must be cured. The emperor only needs a month, or half a month, to see Xiaosi alive and kicking again." It's gone." Chen Manrou hastily persuaded again.

The emperor pondered for a long time before asking Li Yuyi to feel Chen Manrou's pulse: "You are still pregnant and cannot leave the palace right now. As for Xiaosi, I will send him to Huangzhuang and send Liu Cheng to take care of him..."

"Your Majesty, there is not even a master who can call the shots in Huangzhuang. The concubine is worried about sending Xiaosi there. Why don't you send Xiaosi to Chen's mansion and let Chen's mansion clean up another yard." But it can't be sent to Huangzhuang. , who knows whose hands the people on Huangzhuang are now.

If it belonged to Empress Dowager Ci Ning, it would be like a sheep falling into a tiger's mouth.Even if there is only one nail of Ci Ning, Chen Manrou is not at ease.

Doctor Li checked Chen Manrou's pulse at this moment, and said with a sigh of relief: "Chen Guifei is in good health and has not been infected with smallpox."

The emperor was really worried about the child in Chen Manrou's stomach, so he didn't want Chen Manrou to follow him out of the palace.After thinking hard for a long time, he finally agreed to send Xiaosi to the Chen Mansion, and sent Yuyi Li to follow him, and asked Li Yuyi to be stationed in the Chen Mansion. When Xiaosi recovered from his illness, he would come back with him.

Chen Manrou repeatedly ordered Xiangyue and Jinhuan to follow them back, and to take good care of Xiao Si.

She said before that she would follow Xiaosi out of the palace, but she just made a bigger request first, so that it would be easier to bargain later.She never thought that if she was pregnant, the emperor would allow her to leave the palace.Not to mention that the concubine does not have the right to leave the palace at will, but only that the child in her womb, the emperor will not let her take risks.

After sending Xiaosi away, Chen Manrou immediately ordered to completely seal off the Zhongcui Palace, even if it was food on weekdays, it was only delivered to the door.Although the emperor was helpless, he did not object to Chen Manrou's actions.

Soon, it will be October.

Chen Manrou was worried about Xiao Si outside the palace, when Li Qiu came in in a panic: "Madam, it's not good, both the first prince and the second prince were poisoned, the first prince died on the spot, the second prince was in a coma, and the Yikun Palace of Yongshou Palace It's all messed up."
