Chapter 162 Precise Layout (2)
However, as soon as the notice came out, the people were still talking about it!Some said that the court deliberately used this to appease everyone; some said that there was indeed a problem with the well, and maybe someone poisoned it.In short, it is very lively!But no matter what, after the wells were sealed up, no one got a 'cold' anymore. In this way, the theory of the epidemic at that time was completely shattered.

Because no one has a 'cold' anymore, the common people gradually believe that this is not an epidemic and will not be contagious.In the capital, it was finally calmed down for the time being.This is also the first time since the 'cold' incident that the imperial court has successfully appeased the people!
Although medicinal materials have been brought to Beijing safely one after another, after taking a few doses of medicine to the patients, their condition has not improved!This made the emperor, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, frown again!
In Yongshou Palace, Concubine Shu was reclining on the couch, quietly reading a book, while a maid standing beside her gently fanned her.Concubine Shu's appearance is extremely beautiful, which is a kind of feminine beauty unique to women.Between the eyebrows and eyes, there is a sick beauty.But if you look closely, you ignore the sickness in Concubine Shu's eyebrows and eyes, but you can imagine something like Yuan Xi!
Everyone knows that the reason why Concubine Shu was immediately spotted by the emperor and directly promoted to the concubine position was because she looked so much like a certain person, and that person was the emperor's lifelong pain!Since Concubine Shu has been weak and sick since entering the palace, and has no children, she originally wanted to raise the fifth prince under her name, but the fifth prince grew up beside the empress since childhood.Later, Concubine Shu accidentally saw the sixth prince Li He, that is, Yuanxi being bullied by a group of little princes and little princesses, and she felt soft-hearted for a moment, so she begged the emperor to adopt him under her own name.The emperor shouldn't have done so, but within a few days, Concubine Shu fell ill.As soon as the emperor saw Concubine Shu's haggard and sickly face, he responded to Concubine Shu.But since then, the number of times the emperor came to Concubine Shu's palace has decreased a lot.Even if you come sometimes, you just sit and go.If the sixth prince is here, the emperor's expression will immediately turn ugly when he sees him.He didn't even sit down, and went straight out of Yongshou Palace!
Since then, although Concubine Shu's concubine position and various monthly rules have not been changed, everyone in the palace is like a human being, and they all understand that Concubine Shu has completely lost her favor.

Concubine Shu may not know that all of this was secretly designed by someone to deliberately lure the unfavorable sixth prince to Concubine Shu's eyes, and deliberately let her see the scene of the sixth prince being beaten!Although Concubine Shu has been in the palace for a long time, she rarely leaves her Yongshou Palace.The emperor thought she was weak, so he didn't even have to greet the queen on weekdays.Most of the people around her were newly promoted court ladies, and no one knew the sixth prince.That's why Concubine Shu didn't know that the one she asked to be raised under her name was actually the prince whom the emperor hated the most!In this way, that person's wish was fulfilled!
Afterwards, Concubine Shu finally understood, but she was indeed childless, and she had taken the sixth prince to her, so naturally she had to fulfill her mother's responsibility, otherwise, she might have to give up again.With her as a mother and concubine, the life of the sixth prince is much better than before, at least those palace servants who bullied him, no longer dare to be presumptuous to him.

A palace maid came in and reported: "Your Majesty, the emperor is here. He is almost at the gate of the palace."

Concubine Shu got up, put down the book in her hand and said, "Understood. Get ready to meet Shengjia!"

The emperor strode into the Yongshou Palace, helped Concubine Shu who was kneeling on the ground with his own hands, waved his sleeves and said, "Everyone step down!"

Concubine Shu quietly followed behind the emperor, seeing the emperor sitting on the couch, she herself sat opposite to the emperor, and asked with concern: "Is the emperor still worried about the poisoning of the people in the capital?"

The emperor nodded, and rubbed his temples lightly with his hands a few times, "It must have been poisoned, and the source of the poison has been found, but those wastes from the Tai Hospital still haven't been able to formulate an antidote! Go on, I'm afraid things will be even more difficult!"

Concubine Shu glanced at the emperor, and persuaded: "Your Majesty, don't worry. Your notice to recruit famous doctors has already been posted, and now we can only wait."

The emperor sighed, and said: "What worries me now is, who is behind the scenes? I have already asked Yang Haipeng to investigate secretly, to see if he can be found in the homes of those merchants and the two imperial doctors. Find out the clues. If we know who is doing the tricks, if we think about it, we will be more clear about his purpose, so I can prepare early!"

"Your Majesty, excuse me for offending my ministers and concubines. You have been having trouble sleeping and eating recently. If things go on like this, it will be detrimental to the dragon's body! For the sake of Dayuan's country, please take care of the dragon's body!"

The emperor nodded, and said to Concubine Shu: "I know, although this matter has not been resolved, Heer has already made great contributions. If he hadn't found the records of those patients, Manchu Civil and military, I'm afraid they will think that those common people really have a cold?"

Concubine Shu smiled, "Your Majesty, it is his duty to be a son and a courtier to share your worries! How can we talk about merit?"

The emperor nodded, "I'm relieved if you can think like this. After all, he was raised under your name. After a hundred years from me, you will still have to rely on her for the rest of your life."

Concubine Shu anxiously said: "Look at what the emperor said. The emperor is now in his prime, don't say these unlucky things anymore. Besides, if there is such a day, the concubine must go with the emperor. That's okay. Be a companion to the emperor."

The emperor closed his eyes and said: "Concubine Shu! I know what you mean. I originally thought that He'er would also be crowned king for him when he came back from northern Xinjiang, but looking at it now, I'm afraid it will be postponed." .”

Concubine Shu smiled nonchalantly: "Isn't it good to be like this now. He lives in the palace, but he can come to my place every day for a visit! I can see him every day!"

The emperor chuckled twice, "Well, I feel much more comfortable talking to you."

"Your Majesty, it's time for lunch, do you want to eat it here?"

The emperor shook his head, "No. I still have to go to the Palace of Qinzheng, and there are a few ministers waiting there. That's all, I'll go there now. You can use it yourself."

Disappointment flashed across Concubine Shu's face, but in the blink of an eye, she changed into a docile look, with no other emotions visible on her face.Seeing the emperor getting up, she hurriedly got up too, knelt down and said, "Send off the emperor!"

It wasn't until the bright yellow figure of the emperor came out of the gate of Yongshou Palace that Concubine Shu slowly got up, looking at the direction in which the emperor was leaving, her eyes were full of anticipation and tenderness.

The emperor rushed to the Palace of Qinzheng, where Duke Ying and Jin Wang Li Zheng were waiting.

"What progress has been made today?" the emperor asked.

Britain is fair: "Your Majesty, after the two royal doctors discovered that the well was poisonous, they quickly surrounded the mansions of the two families. Early this morning, it was discovered that one of the servants of the two families had committed suicide by throwing himself into the ring. The two Everyone left a suicide note, saying that he had poisoned the well in the mansion. Weichen sent people to check carefully, and found that both of them were strangled to death with ropes, and then hung on the beams. That's it As a result, all the clues we have about the person behind this will be cut off."
