The Concubine of the Red Chamber is a little flower essence

The empress groaned a little when she heard the words, but Emperor Jiahe had this order.

If the prescription formulated by His Majesty is not changed, there will be a mistake in the water couplet, and His Majesty's strange group will also be limited.

If she insisted on changing the prescription, increasing the dose, and something went wrong, His Majesty would direct all his anger at them, and at that time, the monarchs and ministers would be doomed.

However, if she obeyed everything, she would not survive today.

And the queen agrees with Xiaohuajing very much.

Once the disease is delayed and the best time for treatment is missed, Shui Ying's body will not be able to persist.

If so, she will fall short.

The queen looked at Xiao Huajing: "What does Yuan'er think?"

Xiao Huajing said: "I think that Imperial Physician An should quickly consider a new prescription and report to His Majesty for approval, so that the prince can receive treatment as soon as possible."

Physician An said, "Illness disappears like spinning silk. The process of treatment needs to be done step by step, there is no rush."

Xiao Huajing said: "It's good to get rid of illness like spinning silk, but there is an old saying: saving people is like putting out a fire, there is no delay.

The smallpox virus is extremely harmful. If you delay for one day and refuse to use the medicine normally, the prince will be hurt for one more day.

Before, the imperial physicians had no experience, that's all.

Now, there are already successful cases, why is An Tai doctor still tied up?

Today, three of the court ladies who contracted the disease at the same time as the prince have recovered, and five of those who contracted the disease later than the prince began to dry up and scab. Only the nineteenth prince's condition has not progressed.

Wei Chen has reason to guess that this is due to the insufficient dosage of your medication.

Physician An please consider carefully. "

Doctor An saw that the queen let Xiao Huajing argue, so she didn't interrupt.

Knowing that the empress also meant the same thing, she said honestly, "To tell you the truth, the empress, Mrs. Shang Gong, the ministers have been carefully considering and increasing the dosage of the decoction.

It's because the status of the nineteenth prince is precious, and there is no ready-made prescription for smallpox treatment..."

Xiao Huajing said: "Wei Chen personally tastes the medicine every day, so he naturally knows that the decoction is gradually increasing.

That is why I suspect that you are underdosing.

One-year-old children are already weak, but you are afraid of taking responsibility and blindly seek stability.

The prince has been suffering from illness for a long time, and he is afraid that he will become weaker.

If this delays the prince's illness, His Majesty will be furious in the future, who of you would dare to bear it? "

Doctor An saw that Xiao Huajing was upright and aggressive, and couldn't help feeling weak: "Even if you want to change the soup, you have to report it to Your Majesty..."

Xiao Huajing said: "Then report it immediately, the capital is only thirty miles away, if you hurry up, you can make a round trip in an hour.

Weichen will arrange frame guards right now, and ask Dr. An to quickly consider the prescription. "

The queen said at this time: "What Jia Shanggong said is exactly what I want.

If Imperial Physician An is in trouble, I will personally play the performance to His Majesty. "

The queen was so supportive of the little flower essence, that Imperial Physician An responded: "I will go back and submit the paperwork to ask for an order. Please forgive me for not being able to change the prescription before His Majesty approves it."

The Queen sighed: "Quite."

Xiao Huajing said: "The little prince has been ill for thirteen days, and Imperial Physician An should hurry up so as not to delay his illness.

The little prince is His Majesty's favorite. "

Doctor An was very guilty and annoyed, but he didn't want to rush forward.

The queen was still a little worried: "Yuan'er, are you sure?"

Xiao Huajing smiled and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, this minister is absolutely sure to keep the Nineteenth Prince.

This prescription is very symptomatic, but the imperial physicians are conservative in their medication.

If you don't force them and let them show their real skills, the recovery period will be greatly extended. I am afraid that if it takes too long, the smallpox will be cured, but the physique will collapse.

Just like the fifth prince, who has been ill all year round, isn't it heartbreaking. "

The queen nodded: "Yuan'er said so, this palace is at ease.

That being the case, Yuan'er, go and inform your cousin, and ask him to personally escort Mi Zhe into the palace, so as to avoid accidents. "

This is because they are afraid that the person who sent the letter will deliberately do bad things and block the connection between Nanyuan and Emperor Jiahe.

After Xiao Huajing left, she found her cousin to discuss, and suddenly heard a loud voice from a distance: "Empress Empress, help me..."

"Empress, you are so benevolent and righteous, please save us..."

"Help……"

"Empress, let us go in, save the child..."

The Queen and Concubine Shu brought water couplets to avoid acne, not to mention top secret.

However, not these victims who fled famine can know.

Xiaohuajing's eyes froze: "Does my cousin know what's going on?"

Jia Hu sighed: "These victims surrounded Nanyuan, wanting to come in and seek treatment from the imperial physician."

Xiao Huajing was surprised: "Aren't the disaster victims concentrated in the Kyoto Huimin Department?"

Jia Hu said: "It is said that the people of Zhili, smallpox broke out, the original Huimin Bureau was disbanded, and the recruited doctors escaped. They are going to the Huimin Bureau in Kyoto.

They began to gather at the gate of Nanyuan on the evening of Twelve.

At first, there were only a few people, but my father saw that they were pitiful, and they begged hard, so he gave some food and water as alms.

Who would have thought that they would not leave, and the number of them gathered more and more.

Starting from yesterday, someone suddenly started calling for help from the empress.

If the prince avoids acne here again, his father dares to let them into the palace privately, he can only drive them away.

But they were crying and complaining, even spitting at the guards, trying to physically pull with the guards..."

Xiao Huajing's eyes turned cold when she heard this.

This kind of behavior is very bad, and it is basically spreading evil diseases intentionally.

At this time, Hu Shujuan sent the secret document of Imperial Physician An.

Xiao Huajing said: "This is a memorial to His Majesty to request a replacement of the nineteenth prince's prescription. Cousin, please be careful and go back quickly. I hope the new prescription can be used for the prince tonight."

Hearing this, Jia Hu didn't dare to be negligent, took two guards and rode away: "I'm going back to Beijing right now, sister, go back, don't come out easily, I will rescue Shuntian Mansion after I return to Beijing."

Knowing that these victims were behaving strangely, how could Xiao Huajing not pay attention, so she told Hu Shujuan: "Go back and report to your mother, just say that there are victims of disasters attacking the palace at the door, I will go and have a look first."

Xiao Huajing went out to take a look, but couldn't say anything to blame.

It's no wonder that a rough guy like my eldest uncle has sympathy.

It's better to lie on the cart.

Next to the wall of the mountain gate, a row of huts has been randomly built: some have slate roofs, some have thatched grass, and some are dead branches covered with straw mats.

Like a bird's nest, it doesn't block the wind at all.

The victims at the door looked like beggars, with disheveled hair and not much clothes on.

Lying, sitting, standing, more kneeling.

The faces of the standing ones were not angry, some of the kneeling ones were numb, and some were ashen.

There is still a row of people lying in the snow in the distance, and it is not known whether they are dead or alive.

Xiao Hua's consciousness was overwhelmed, and these people were all dead.

Of the five people, three had acne all over their faces, one had a rash on his face, and one had a dark gray complexion, but no acne.

Because of the snow, Xiao Huajing couldn't tell how long they had been dead.

The movement of Jia Hu going out caused a commotion.

At this time, the victims suddenly shouted again: "My lord, my lord, please do me a favor and save us."

"My lord, please be merciful..."

Xiaohuajing's eyes flashed at this moment.

She discovered a secret, those who took the lead in shouting were not those kneeling.

It turned out to be the person leaning on the flatbed cart with his head and face covered tightly.

Although the cotton robe on his body was patched.

However, Xiao Huajing's eyes were like torches, and she could see clearly.

He was neatly dressed and had bright eyes.

A dog-skin gown is hidden under the padded robe, and a dog-skin hat is worn on the head.

The most suspicious thing is that he has Jin Sanshi next to him.

Jin Sanshi is still hanging on a big golden ring.

This is a wealthy dude, where is a refugee?

From this point of view, it is not easy for these disaster victims to gather here.

However, Xiao Huajing also has doubts. The old lady on the flatbed is indeed a real disaster victim.

This can be seen from the dirt on her hands, the faint breath, and the ashes on her face.

Seeing Xiao Huajing, Jia She hurriedly came out of the guard post: "What are you doing here, go back quickly, my uncle sent someone to report to Shuntian Mansion yesterday, someone should come forward to solve it."

Xiaohuajing pointed to the row of dead people lying in the snow in the distance: "When did they die? Why was no one buried?"

Jia She said: "Two died yesterday, and three more died this morning.

We are tasked with protecting the prince and empress. They died of smallpox. Who would dare to infect these people? "

Xiao Huajing asked: "Does their relatives not care?"

Jia Amnesty shook his head: "I don't know, at this moment, who would dare to approach them and ask them carefully.

We will give them some food every day, hoping that people from Shuntian Mansion will come soon. "

Xiao Huajing then asked: "Where is the original garrison in Nanyuan? How many of them are there?"

Jia She said: "Originally there was a bidder. We took over the gate, and they retreated into the Yamen palace. I discussed with them, and they said that their task is to guard the paddock, and the outside boundary is not under their jurisdiction."

That's bullshit to pass the buck.

To be stationed in Nanyuan is to maintain order in Nanyuan.

When refugees come here, whether it is deportation or resettlement, they have to come forward.

This is a blatant bullying queen!

Jia She was ordered to protect the safety of the queen and prince.

He didn't want to conflict with the garrison, so as not to cause accidents.

After Xiao Huajing returned to the palace, she reported the disaster victims gathered at the gate of Nanyuan to the Empress Empress: "Empress, I feel that the situation outside is not right.

We were ordered to go out of the palace on the fifth day of the lunar new year, and we came here to avoid acne, except for our client and Jin Yiwei, no outsiders knew about it.

The refugees are even less likely to know that we are stationed here.

However, starting from the evening of the twelfth day of the first lunar month, disaster victims gathered at the gate of Nanyuan, calling for help from the empress..."

The queen's face changed when she heard the words, her eyes were icy: "This is someone who deliberately leaked our whereabouts, and it's very good to trap my palace in injustice."

Xiao Huajing, who had some doubts at first, immediately understood after hearing this: This is pushing the queen to the forefront.

Once the queen shows up, she is likely to be infected with a serious disease.

If the queen doesn't show up and ignores the victims' death, the censor will definitely jump out and play the role of the queen's unkindness and shameless mother.

In addition, those concubines and princes with great ambitions in the palace are pushing the waves, and it is very likely to set off a turbulent wave of abolished queens.

Xiaohuajing felt cold all over for no reason:

This trick is one trick, and it kills each other.

The queen snorted coldly at this moment: "This is a mortar that will not replace me."

Xiao Huajing nodded and said: "It is very possible that I have just discovered a suspicious person, and he seems to be deliberately guiding those disaster victims.

Whenever the victims slack off, he will guide the victims loudly.

He took the lead in calling for help from the empress.

Later when my cousin went out, he was also the one who first shouted 'Help, my lord', and then called out to my minister, "Help me, my lord."

Therefore, Wei Chen observed him carefully, although he was dressed in shabby clothes, but he hid a dog fur robe inside, not like a fleeing person.

However, he had an old lady with him. "

The queen said angrily: "Immediately order your uncle to arrest him and interrogate him."

Xiao Huajing said: "At this moment, the refugees are gathering, arresting them may lead to bloodshed. Furthermore, my uncle said that when they were driving these refugees away, some people spat on purpose and deliberately wanted to entangle the guards. It is obvious that they have ulterior motives." .”

Ma Shangxiang said: "Yuan'er, are these people infected with smallpox?"

Xiao Huajing said: "It's very possible. Five people died, and three of them had acne on their faces.

The victims gathered at the gate of Nanyuan, although no one with pox has been found yet.

However, eight children had rashes on their faces, and countless other adults and children had fever.

They fight each other with no protection at all.

Weichen suspects that if it is not controlled, there will be a large-scale outbreak of smallpox in about ten days.The gate of Nanyuan will become a mass grave. "

The queen became more and more angry: "It's too much to bully people."

Xiao Huajing said again at this time: "Today is the Lantern Festival, the fourth prince pays his respects once every three days.

Last time, the fourth prince returned to Beijing in the afternoon of twelfth, but the disaster victims appeared in the evening. It was really a coincidence. "

The queen shook her head, her tone firm: "It can't be the fourth child."

Xiao Huajing said: "I have no doubts about the Fourth Prince.

When we left Beijing, in order to cover our whereabouts, we talked about going to Tangquan to avoid acne.

Except for the four princes and the thirteen princes, no one in the entourage has ever left.

The minister suspected that the Fourth Prince was being followed.

They deduced our whereabouts from the whereabouts of the fourth prince. "

Tangquan is twice as far away from Kyoto as Nanyuan.

The queen said: "Perhaps Tang Quan's people leaked our whereabouts.

This can also explain why it took them eight days to find us. "

Xiao Huajing said: "Maybe he found it long ago, he just needs time to arrange these victims."

Concubine Shu's face turned pale: "What can we do?"

Xiao Huajing said: "There is only one way, and that is to continue.

The queen empress must accept the move.

Otherwise, in the eyes of the censor, it would be a stain on the empress. "

The queen nodded: "Yuan'er is right, I must follow up."

At this moment, Ma Shangxiang suddenly knelt down and kowtowed: "Empress, my concubine has already had smallpox, and the imperial doctor said that if you have smallpox, you will not be infected with smallpox again.

The concubines are willing to appease these refugees instead of the empress. "

The queen supported Ma Shangxiang with her own hands, and she was very moved: "I know Concubine Shu's kindness, but I don't agree because Ying'er needs you.

Moreover, this palace is the mother of the country, taking care of the subjects of the world, this palace is duty-bound, and no one else can replace it. "

Xiao Huajing put her hands on the tightly held hands of the queen and Ma Shangxiang: "This minister will advance and retreat with the empress."

Ma Shangxiang's eyes were tangled: "But empress, Yuan'er, have you ever produced flowers?"

Xiao Huajing said: "It doesn't matter, I have practiced martial arts since I was a child, and my body is strong.

Furthermore, through this period of time, Wei Chen has already figured out a way to protect himself.

Concubine Shu, don't worry, I will personally protect the empress, and will never let anything happen to the empress.

However, from now on, the nineteenth prince will be guarded by Concubine Shu's only son.

However, I believe that after changing the prescription this time, the prince's condition will recover quickly, believe me. "

Ma Shangxiang pursed her mouth and just wanted to cry: "I believe in you, I have always believed in you."

The empress said: "Let's discuss how to resettle the victims?"

Xiao Huajing said: "Just now, I have thought about it, my uncle's position cannot be changed, and I don't feel relieved to hand over the gate control to others.

The empress can use the Phoenix seal to mobilize the Nanyuan garrison and order them to build camps for the victims.

Then order Tai Hospital to make a preventive decoction, and take care of these victims before Shuntian Prefecture responds. "

The queen said: "As you say."

The queen quickly wrote the decree, and after using the seal, she ordered: "Nurse Qi, you take a team of guards to the garrison yamen to announce the decree."

But Xiao Huajing said: "Your Majesty, I don't have martial arts, I'm afraid I can't restrain those soldiers, I am willing to help."

Xiaohuajing ordered Hu Shujuan to come out with a decree to demote [-] of the inner guards.

Then, swaggeringly went to the Yamen Palace.
