Chapter 116 Chapter One Hundred and Sixteen

There was a moment of silence in the tent, and then Jubilee said softly, "I don't want to, but I can't help it, you see..." She opened the curtain in front of her eyes as she spoke.Xiao Shunzi looked in through the gap in the curtain, his complexion suddenly changed, he looked at Jubilee in shock, and whispered: "Rou'er, you, your hair..." The jubilee put down the tent, sobbing softly: "I don't know why it became like this. According to the reported pregnancy time, this child should have been born long ago, but too many methods of inducing labor have been used by Taiyi, and this child just doesn't want to be born." I am willing to come out, I am afraid that it will be suspicious if it is delayed for a long time, and we will both die by then, so we used the labor-inducing elixir given by the imperial doctor, the child was born, but I have become like this."

Xiao Shunzi felt a sharp pain in her heart when she heard it, and she tried her best to endure the pain, and comforted the concubine Xie, "Don't worry, maybe you've been too anxious these days, after giving birth, you should adjust it properly, and your hair will grow again. from." Jubilee didn't say anything, she threw herself on the pillow and began to cry.After crying for a while, I slowly stopped crying, thought for a moment and said: "You can't let the imperial doctor in the palace know about this, otherwise the news will definitely leak out. Once the emperor knows that I have this disease, I'm afraid he will never come again. Chuxiu Palace is here. Xiao Shunzi, you have to help me bring in a doctor from outside the palace!"

Xiao Shunzi naturally understands the concerns of the concubines of the concubines of the concubine, and she lost all her hair after giving birth to a child. If this is spread, it will definitely become a joke for the concubines of the sixth palace, not to mention the concubines of the concubines of the sixth palace who used to be arrogant , No less offending people, if someone takes the opportunity to make trouble again, once they find out about their "borrowing a seed to give birth to a child", not to mention myself and the concubine, even the entire Chuxiu Palace will die. Xiao Shunzi thought for a while, nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will help you even if I fight for my life."

He asked the concubines to take care of them, but he managed to get out of the palace. He visited several famous doctors in Beijing, but he had never seen such a disease as concubines. In the end, he had no choice but to secretly bring a shaman Pretend to be an imperial physician and sneak into the palace. It never occurred to me that I ran into Li Dequan in the corridor not too far after entering the palace gate. Xiao Shunzi hurriedly bowed to Li Dequan and said, "Hi godfather." Li Dequan glanced at the fake imperial physician behind him, and casually asked Xiao Shunzi, "I seldom see you recently, are you still busy with Empress Xi?"

Xiao Shunzi nodded hurriedly, seeing that Li Dequan cast his eyes on the fake imperial physician again, his whole heart arose, and he heard Li Dequan ask again: "The imperial physician behind you looks really good, is he new?" ?” "This..." Xiao Shunzi panicked for a moment, not knowing how to answer. However, Li Dequan smiled, looked the shaman up and down, and said unhurriedly: "There are rules for being an imperial physician, let alone the manner and demeanor, there must be a smell of medicine on his body..." He said, I approached the fake imperial doctor and smelled it, "If there is no smell of medicine, but a smell of incense, it is easy to misunderstand people to practice witchcraft. If there are such messy things in the palace, they will be beheaded."

Xiao Shunzi was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground with a thud, and kowtowed repeatedly: "Godfather, my son also knows that it is a serious crime to recruit outsiders into the palace privately, but the illness of Empress Xi cannot be cured by an imperial doctor, son... son There is really no way..." Li Dequan sighed, stretched out his hand to help him up, and said, "Okay, get up, did you call me godfather for nothing? Don't I have to hide it for you?" Xiao Shunzi was already sweating from shock, and hurriedly thanked, "Thank you godfather." Li Dequan said again: "Okay, that's it, remember to be careful in everything, don't pierce the skylight, otherwise no one can save you. Do you understand?"

After speaking, he turned and left. Xiao Shunzi wiped the sweat from his brow, brought the fake imperial doctor to Chuxiu Palace, and after entering the palace, he sent everyone down, and then asked the shaman to feel the pulse of the concubine Xi. After a while, the shaman sighed and said: "This disease is caused by medicine, and I'm afraid it will be hard to recover." The concubine was startled, and couldn't help crying again, crying, "What should I do? How can I see people in the future?" The shaman packed up the medicine box and got up to leave, but Xiao Shunzi hurriedly stopped in front of him again, begging: "Master, you are already the last hope of the empress, please save her, I will pay you any money." Raised for you."

The shaman said: "It's not money that can solve it, it's the old man's limited ability, I'm sorry, the old man will leave first." After speaking, he went out with the medicine box in his arms. Xiao Shunzi didn't dare to let him go out by himself. He couldn't care about Jubilee for a while, so he hurriedly chased after him, sent the shaman away first, and then came back to see Jubilee , and saw Jubilee sitting in the tent alone in a daze, neither speaking nor responding. Xiao Shunzi looked worried, and called softly, "Your Majesty." The Jubilee didn't respond, but after a while she murmured to herself: "God, why do you torture me like this? If you want to live like this, you might as well die."

Xiao Shunzi was startled, and no longer cared about the taboo, he stretched out his hand and opened the bed curtain to look at the concubine. It didn't matter, and he was sweating from shock. The concubine touched a pair of scissors at some point Li, it was right in front of him. "Rou'er!" Xiao Shunzi let out a low cry, and rushed forward to grab the scissors in her hand. The scissors were so sharp that they pierced into his palm, and the blood dripped down, but he didn't know it. He only persuaded her and said, "Don't do this, listen to me. I must have a way to make you see the sun again, there must be."

Jubilee's eyes no longer had the pride and publicity of the past, only the despair in her eyes, and said blankly: "I don't believe it, I have no hope." He gritted his teeth, stared at Jubilee and said word by word: "Just give me a chance, okay? If I can't do it, it's never too late for you to die." Jubilee finally let go, cried and threw herself into his arms, crying, "You must save me, you must, otherwise I will not be able to live!" Xiao Shunzi froze, slowly stretched out the other hand, gently stroked her back, and comforted her: "It's okay, don't cry, Rou'er, I'm here, I'm here, you first Take care of yourself, and I will find a way."

Under his reassurance, Jubilee slowly calmed down, and only then did she realize that Xiao Shunzi had been stabbed by scissors in her hand. She hurriedly tore off a clean strip of cloth, bandaged him briefly, and urged him to go to the imperial hospital. Get some medicine.Xiao Shunzi was worried about her and dared not leave.Jubilee then said: "You go, I'm fine now, you will be suspected if you stay here for a long time." Xiao Shunzi nodded, and then instructed: "Don't see the emperor these days, if he comes to Chuxiu Palace, you can just say that you are not in good health, and also be careful of the maids in this palace, don't call them I found out, the less people know about it, the better." Jubilee said softly, "I know what to do, you can go now." Only then did Xiao Shunzi leave Chuxiu Palace. Within two days, Kangxi really came to Chuxiu Palace to visit the concubine Xie, but the concubine refused to ask Kangxi to enter the house because she was still in bed because of her poor health.When Kangxi came to Chuxiu Palace twice, the concubine avoided seeing her. He only thought that she was playing with her temper again, so he lost his patience and simply stopped coming. A few days later, a total solar eclipse suddenly appeared in the sky. At the court meeting, the minister flattered Kangxi about the celestial phenomenon, and replied: "I thought that the sky suddenly became black, and suddenly it shone brightly, indicating that Good things are about to come to my Qing Dynasty. Your Majesty, please think about it. Since the beginning of this year, droughts and floods have continued, just like the darkness of the sky. Now everything has gradually subsided, and it is like this light reappearing. I believe that my Qing Dynasty will be reappeared in the Emperor’s time. Under the rule, it is bound to prosper and get better every year." Kangxi was quite fond of astronomy, and knew that the total solar eclipse was just a natural phenomenon, but he was still a little happy after hearing this, and couldn't help asking: "Aiqing thinks so?" The minister nodded solemnly, and another minister came out next to him, adding icing on the cake: "The minister also thinks this is an auspicious sign. It is dark before it is bright, which is where the destiny of our Qing Dynasty lies." All the ministers are human beings, and they all cheered after hearing the words, and for a while they praised the total solar eclipse as if it was auspicious from heaven.Only a young military general standing behind suddenly said loudly: "I think this situation is just a natural phenomenon, and has nothing to do with the fate of the Qing Dynasty." As soon as this truth came out, there was a sudden silence in the hall. Kangxi couldn't help being stunned for a while, then smiled and said, "You are really brave." The general came out of the queue and knelt down on the ground, and replied in a deep voice: "Responding to the emperor, I asked the Qin Tianjian before, and he said that such a phenomenon would happen once every few decades, and it has nothing to do with the fate of the country. The emperor is a wise king. Mingjun likes to listen to the truth, that's why I boldly refute these flattering villains." Kangxi thought for a while, nodded, and said, "Okay, I like people who tell the truth, get up." The military commander got up and stood back in the queue again. When the court meeting was over, the fourth elder brother and Long Kedo walked at the end, the fourth elder brother glanced at the general, and asked Long Keduo casually, "What do you think of this Nian Gengyao, uncle?" Longkodo said with some disdain: "It's just a hereditary general with no military exploits, and he is grandstanding." Unexpectedly, the fourth elder brother shook his head lightly, and asked in a low voice: "Does uncle know Changhuan Tower in the suburbs of Beijing?" Longkodo was taken aback and nodded. The fourth elder brother said again: "This person is the owner behind Chang Huan Lou." Longkodo was very surprised when he heard that, and couldn't help but take another look at Nian Gengyao who was walking in front, and then asked the fourth elder brother in a low voice: "Is there a mistake? He will be the owner of Changhuan Building?" The fourth elder brother shook his head slowly, turned his eyes away from Nian Gengyao, and said softly: "There is no mistake, this person once came to my mansion to apply for a nursing home, and I even fought against him, and then I am happy." After the fire broke out in the building, Thirteenth Brother and I went to investigate, and he asked someone to send me a booklet, which recorded the private conversations of the ministers." Long Kedo asked: "So, he opened the Changhuan Building for an ulterior motive?"
