The biography of Concubine Lin in the harem

How many teardrops infinite hate (1)

As soon as the words came out, everyone in the hall was amazed, Zhu Chengbi stood up suddenly, the purple gold eight-faced mirror on the temples and the numerous pearls hanging down from Tian Yubu shuddered, and said sharply: "I will pass on the order of this palace, and immediately, the sixth palace Concubines, without the approval of the palace, you are not allowed to leave the palace without authorization, the vicinity of Guanju Palace is completely sealed off, and all the imperial doctors and medical women from the Imperial Medical Bureau are immediately entering the palace to stand by!"

"The slaves obey the order."

Zhu Chengbi breathed a sigh of relief, tried his best to calm down the doubts and fears in his heart, and said calmly: "The two younger sisters should hurry back to the palace, and concubine, take good care of Fen'er, and I will invite the imperial physician to take care of you in Yunzhao Palace later. .”

When Concubine He and Concubine En went down, Zhu Chengbi focused on the kapok, and said slowly: "You settle down in Hanzhang Palace first, I'm afraid you won't be able to get out after a while."

Xuanqing's smallpox came in a hurry, but fortunately Zhu Chengbi stopped the concubines and palace people of the sixth palace in time to panic, not only to avoid the spread of smallpox, but also to prevent Xuanqing's matter from being discussed with embellishments.In less than half an hour, Zi Ao City was completely under martial law. The Imperial Medical Bureau immediately distributed mugwort leaves and cangzhu to various palaces. Even vinegar was placed in every corner of the palace to boil, and strong shochu was sprinkled all over Yongxiang. The smell is choking.

When Zhu Chengbi arrived at the Guanju Palace, he saw Zhu Xiuyi wandering outside the palace, he suddenly became suspicious, and he raised his voice and reprimanded: "Zhu Xiuyi! Didn't this palace tell all concubines not to go out privately? What are you doing here!"

Zhu Xiuyi turned her head and saw Zhu Chengbi, who was full of anger, and hurriedly bowed her knees and saluted: "May the concubine Lin be blessed and safe! This concubine was talking with Concubine Shu in Guanju Palace earlier. When something happened to His Royal Highness, the concubine must be responsible for directing the people in the palace to communicate. Send a message, so you can't go back to the palace for a while."

Zhu Chengbi's face turned pale, and he calmed down, and asked, "Who is the imperial physician who diagnosed His Highness the Sixth Highness with smallpox?"

"Mrs. Hui, it's Imperial Physician Shen from the Imperial Medical Bureau."

Zhu Chengbi frowned slightly: "Where did Imperial Physician Liang go?"

Zhu Xiuyi shook her head slightly, but a young lady outside the hall timidly replied: "The Imperial Medical Bureau has brought in a batch of medicinal materials today, and Imperial Physician Liang has returned to the Imperial Medical Bureau to count the number of medicinal materials."

Zhu Chengbi nodded, and asked again: "Is Concubine Shu the only one accompanying His Highness the Sixth Highness?"

Zhu Xiuyi hesitated for a while, and finally said in a low voice: "There is also the emperor."

Zhu Chengbi was horrified when he heard the words, and angrily scolded: "You are confused! How come the emperor is also in the palace! What if you get smallpox!"

Naturally, Zhu Xiuyi couldn't refute such harsh words, she hurriedly knelt down and cried out: "My concubine also advised the emperor not to go in, but the emperor is stubborn and doesn't listen to my concubine's advice!"

Knowing the importance of Xuanqing in the emperor's heart, Zhu Chengbi was helpless, but when he turned around, he saw the court judge Liu Taiyi hurried out of the palace. Seeing Zhu Chengbi here, he rushed forward and said: "Congratulations, Your Majesty! The Sixth Highness is not infected with smallpox, but just a normal person." The epidemic! Weichen has seen it with other imperial physicians, please rest assured that it is the imperial physician. Shen imperial physician is just misdiagnosed."

Zhu Chengbi caressed his chest, glanced at Zhu Xiuyi who was kneeling on the ground, he felt hesitation in his heart, and raised his voice: "Although Imperial Physician Shen made a misdiagnosis, but he never missed it, if it wasn't for Imperial Physician Shen to pass on the information in time, Zi Ao City would not have been diagnosed in a short time Martial law cannot be achieved." Seeing that Zhu Xiuyi was secretly relieved, his thoughts turned like a wheel, and he said in a deep voice, "Just as a punishment, Imperial Physician Shen temporarily fined his salary for three months. As for the follow-up treatment, let me ask the emperor about it." Meant to make a decision."

Imperial Physician Liu said in a hurry and retreated, Zhu Chengbi focused slightly, and raised his foot to enter the hall, Zhu Xi hurriedly stopped Zhu Chengbi, and persuaded him: "Although it is not smallpox, but the epidemic is also very dangerous, the empress still does not need to enter the hall Well, even though the empress cares about the emperor and the sixth highness, the harem is not peaceful at the moment, if the empress is also infected with the epidemic, who can control the situation in the palace?"

Zhu Xi's words also made sense, Zhu Chengbi was hesitating, but he saw Cumulus rushing out, his face was pale, and his voice revealed deep despair and confusion: "Concubine Lin, it's not good , the emperor fainted!"

At night, the Six Palaces finally calmed down, and someone was sent to explain the government affairs on Yizhen's side, so that Zhu Chengbi could have a chance to rest.

After returning to Hanzhang Palace, Zhu Yu hurriedly served a cup of almond cheese, but Zhu Chengbi only supported it with his hands, and the thoughts in his heart permeated layer by layer.In fact, since the death of the Empress Dowager Zhaoxian last year, Yidan has been in poor health, and after the elimination of the Bolinghou Party and the Xia Family Party, the political strife has become especially fierce, so all government affairs are only handed over to Yizhen deal with.That's the case, after the beginning of spring this year, Yidan coughed more and more severely, and even coughed up blood in Deyang Hall a few days ago.

Zhu Chengbi sighed secretly. Today, Yidan heard that Xuanqing had smallpox, and hurried to Guanju Palace, but was blocked by Zhu Xiuyi outside the palace. In smallpox, one is surprised, one is angry, one is happy, repeated moods and overstimulation several times will induce the root cause of the disease.

Zhu Chengbi put the almond butter on the table, slowly fiddled with the cat's eye gemstone in his hand, coldly glanced at Zhu Xiuyi who had been kneeling in front of him for a long time, and shouted: "You are so brave!"

Although Zhu Xiuyi was tired, she was extremely calm at the moment, without any panic at all, she just said calmly: "My concubine is stupid, what did I do?" She thought about it and said, "Perhaps my concubine recommended Imperial Physician Shen to treat His Highness the Sixth Highness. In the end, it was misdiagnosed as smallpox, which disturbed the six palaces and caused the emperor to faint, so the concubine is willing to accept the crime."

Zhu Chengbi sneered: "After five years in the palace, Xiuyi has become eloquent, I really admire you." Zhu Chengbi slowly got up, and lightly patted Zhu Xiuyi's slender shoulder blades, "It's just that you are playing tricks in front of this palace. It's still a bit tender. Speaking of which, Xiu Yi seems to think that the palace is too weak to take care of the trivial matters of the harem, right?"

Seeing Zhu Xiuyi startled slightly, Zhu Chengbi tapped the corner of his lips with a pine shower golden handkerchief, and smiled sweetly, "The palace attendants who entered the palace a while ago seem to be from the Kongjin Cave of Yongzhou."

Zhu Xiuyi was startled, tried to calm down and said: "The concubine doesn't understand what the empress is talking about."

"You don't understand, I will tell you the whole story. In Kongjindong, Yongzhou, 31 school-age women were selected as palace servants this year and went north to Beijing. Unfortunately, they were infected with smallpox on the way, and most of them died. It was incorporated into the Clothes Bureau, and a few days ago, Zhu Xiuyi went to the Clothes Bureau in person, isolated those palace people, and sent Imperial Physician Shen to diagnose and treat them again to make sure they are all right." Zhu Chengbi saw that Zhu Xiuyi's eyelashes lightly twitched. Trembling, he said slowly, "I'm afraid that Xiuyi's Chengguang Palace, or the home of Imperial Physician Shen, have hidden clothes of people infected with smallpox?"

Zhu Xiuyi was startled when she heard the words, but she still refused to give in, and tried her best to calm down and said: "Is the empress joking with the concubine? The concubine is stupid, and I hope the empress can give me some pointers."

"Xiuyi, it's not easy for me to be deceived. I have found some clues about the matter of the abolished empress, but I have been covering it up for you. Naturally, it sounds nice. It's me who gave you a way to survive. It's hard to say It sounds good, it’s my palace who took the blame for this trip..." Zhu Chengbi folded a camellia flower in his hand, and slowly pinched off the petals one by one, the red juice stained the palm of his hand, and there was a faint medicinal smell, rushing into the nose, "Scarlet peony, no matter how beautiful it looks like a peony, it's just a camellia. It's like some things. The more realistic the description, the more people will want to argue carefully. After all kinds of scrutiny, I'm afraid it's just a classic. It cannot be speculated."

Zhu Xiuyi's heart felt cold, and she clutched the floor tiles tightly, just bowed her head and said nothing.

"The Sixth Highness has been sick for many days. If Xiuyi hadn't been in the Imperial Medical Bureau, he would not have done it so well. If it wasn't for this Palace who happened to arrange for Liang Imperial Physician to go to Guanju Palace to look after him, I'm afraid he would have to continue to be under the drum of Xiuyi." You’re in here.” Zhu Chengbi glanced at her sharply, and said loudly, “I thought you were so capable, but you could only play tricks and poison others. I thought you would be reborn from the ashes, but it turns out This palace is wrong."

Zhu Xiuyi kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty is a lesson! My Majesty told me to keep myself safe, so my concubine will naturally keep it in mind. As for the matter of abolishing the wronged soul, my concubine herself doesn't understand, and I have never done it before..."

Zhu Chengbi took a step forward, lifted Zhu Xiuyi's chin vigorously, and said sharply: "This Palace hates talking too much with people! Now the Emperor, Concubine Shu and His Highness the Sixth Highness are all isolated in Guanju Palace. Government affairs and court trivial matters are all matters of the court. Ben Gong is in charge, if you continue to cover up and play tricks with Ben Gong, Ben Gong will immediately send you to the Department of Shenxing!"

Zhu Xiuyi was stunned for a long while, only the silver tassels hanging from the side-haired begonias trembled slightly, as if they were fighting needlessly.

After a moment of silence, Zhu Xiuyi finally softened, and said in a low voice, "My lord, forgive me."

Zhu Chengbi let out a breath slowly, helped Zhu Xiuyi up, calmed his face and said: "The cause and effect, let me explain clearly first."

Zhu Xiuyi hesitated for a moment, and finally said in a low voice: "My concubine was imprisoned for five years, during which she wanted to commit suicide many times, but there are two reasons that supported my concubine's survival." Zhu Xiuyi's slender eyelashes flickered slightly, and the corners of her lips With a warm and weak smile, "One of them is Imperial Physician Shen. He joined the Imperial Medical Bureau the year my concubine entered the palace. He and my concubine have known each other since childhood, but my concubine and him are just friends and have no selfishness. Shen During the imperial confinement period, the imperial physician often brought some medicines for the concubines, and talked with the concubines at night when the defense was relaxed."

Zhu Xiuyi's eyes flickered, and her tone was a bit gentle: "The concubine couldn't hold on several times, and it was the imperial doctor Shen who helped the concubine. But besides this relationship, there is another layer..." Zhu Xiuyi pressed her chest , as if seeing something filthy, the disgust in his eyes grew thicker, "This concubine must not just die in Chengguang Palace, this concubine must avenge Ruan Yanran, that lowly servant! It was the concubine who pleaded for mercy and the concubine was able to lift the confinement of the palace. Afterwards, the concubine was planning to wait for the opportunity to take revenge. A few days ago, the concubine happened to know that the group of palace people in Yongzhou had smallpox, so she asked Imperial Physician Shen to go there overnight The infected area took the clothes of the sick patients. Today, taking advantage of the new batch of medicinal materials brought in by the Imperial Medical Bureau, Imperial Physician Liang was unable to ask Xuan Qing for pulse, so he recommended Imperial Physician Shen. However, Imperial Physician Shen did not misdiagnose, but lied that Xuan Qing had smallpox."

Zhu Chengbi nodded lightly: "When you talk about the grievances of the abolished empress, the harem is full of uproar. I'm afraid it's because you want to blame the sixth prince's smallpox on the dead Xia Mengxian, so that everyone will think it's karma. It is indeed thoughtful to plan every step. But I have a doubt, since you have obtained the smallpox patient's clothes, why didn't you just do it directly, but just bluffed?"

Zhu Xiuyi snorted coldly and said, "If you die with one blow, wouldn't you be unhappy? In Zi'ao City, death is the best relief. If a concubine is weak-minded, she would have been hanged in Chengguang Palace long ago! She was locked up by Concubine Shu Gui." For five years, I have enjoyed all the glory and wealth, and I will definitely make her suffer!"

Zhu Chengbi thought for a while, and said lightly: "Yes, once Imperial Physician Shen lied that Xuan Qing had smallpox, you would be able to send the news to the emperor as soon as possible. Persuading the emperor not to enter the Guanju Palace will undoubtedly be a deep despair for Concubine Shu."

The corners of Zhu Xiuyi's eyes burned with intense hatred, and the eyes seemed to shoot out several sharp knives: "Only by making Concubine Shu Guifei so painful that I can't swallow the bad breath in my heart!"

Zhu Chengbi shook his head, and the bright gold and sapphire pendant on his earlobe shone like sea water: "The emperor broke into Guanju Palace regardless of the obstruction. I am afraid that you are the only one who is disappointed right now?"

Zhu Xiuyi bit her lower lip until a drop of blood slowly oozes out: "Your Majesty, it turns out that she really loves Ruan Yanran!" She suddenly smiled secretly, and her tone suddenly became cold, "But Ruan Yanran can't be complacent either. How long! Just quietly send the clothes with smallpox into Guanju Palace..."

Zhu Chengbi was startled and frightened, and cut off his words: "You are crazy! The emperor is also inside!"
