[Ming] Wuzong's Chronicle of Rebirth

Chapter 35 The 9th Year of Hongzhi

After all, Mrs. Zhang has never done this kind of secret affairs in the house. She is terrified and afraid of harming her son. "But what if it hurts Bao'er?"

The big Zhang's wooden fish paused, and then continued to knock, as if to suppress all the innocent souls in the back house with their teeth and claws in the sound of the wooden fish. "The Liu family has been proud for a hundred years, can't the ancestors protect Bao'er?"

"But..." Little Zhang was still worried, pinching his sleeves, kneeling there, hesitating endlessly.

"Pa" Mrs. Zhang knocked heavily on the wooden fish, "Begging for others is better than asking for yourself. Since you have so many worries, why do you come to beg me?"

Mrs. Zhang was taken aback, and remembered Liu Jiansu's affection for Mrs. Wang. Compared with his indifferent attitude towards her, she gradually became resentful. She gritted her teeth and kowtowed to Mrs. Zhang, "Let's not worry about it Tell me, as long as it can be done, Qing'er is willing to serve my aunt like a cow or a horse."

The sound of Da Zhang's wooden fish gradually became louder and quicker, and there was a sense of joy in this Buddhist hall full of decay. "I am your aunt, and your mother-in-law. If I don't love you, who will love you? Don't worry, those who stand in your way will naturally have Buddhas who will bring evil rewards for you one by one." Da Zhang's voice There was an inexplicable coldness, Xiao Zhang heard goose bumps all over his body.

A day later, Mrs. Zhang actually brought over two sets of newly made clothes and fresh food, claiming to make amends with the second young master.In the afternoon, someone was sent to say that the rainy season was approaching, and Wan's grave had just been repaired a few days ago, and asked the second young master if he wanted to go to worship.

Liu Dong slowly came to his senses last night, and he lost his ignorance in his heart, and became a bit motivated.He lamented that he lost his mother when he was young, and he envied Zhu Houzhao, Zhu Houwei, and Zhang Shi in his heart. Now someone mentions his mother. When he thinks about it carefully, he can't even remember his voice, face, and appearance, and he is more sad. He hurriedly replied, "I'm going, I'm going."

On the second day, the sky was clear and the sun was shining. Liu Dong reported to Mrs. Bai, and Mrs. Liu went to the Liu family's ancestral grave in the suburbs.Now it is May, and the youth has just fallen, and there are newly blooming green everywhere.Liu Dong went to Wan's grave and cried a lot, and played around in this vast world again. His mood was broadened, and the depression of the past few days was swept away.When he returned home, he was bumped into the carriage by a little beggar covered in sores. Liu Dong ordered the nanny who followed him to throw two taels of silver and let him go to see a doctor.

Liu Dong went home and said, he hurriedly asked the boy to grab a pair of anti-virus and anti-diarrhea medicine and boiled it for him to drink before he was relieved.

After Liu Dong stayed at home for another two days, the little Mrs. Zhang seemed to have changed her nature, and she thought about being attentive and considerate every day.Seeing some thoughts, Liu Jian's already guilty heart warmed up a little.After Liu Dong worshiped the Wan family, he also stopped playing and concentrated on studying in the house.

Now, when the green is out of reach, bandits are running amok, and it seems that the Liu family has also entered the Liu family.There was nothing serious about it, but it frightened a few women who were on duty at night, and Liu Dong's grandmother, Bai's old illness, was a repeat offence. Mr. Liu then ordered all the houses to be closed and not to go out, to guard against villains.In this way, the entire Liu Mansion became clean, and everyone closed their doors to live their own lives. For some reason, even the meals were cooked by the small kitchens in the courtyards.

On this day, another order came from the palace, saying that Zhu Houzhao had something important to tell Liu Dong to enter the palace.Liu Jian was not at home, and the father-in-law was waiting again, and the girls hurriedly made arrangements, and Liu Dong hurriedly went after seeing Mrs. Liu.

The members of Xiao Zhang's family in Liu Dong's courtyard have been told to keep an eye on Liu Dong's whereabouts these days.After hearing this, Mrs. Zhang almost frightened her heart out, and hurriedly went to Mrs. Zhang to ask for advice.

Mrs. Da Zhang is still eating fast and chanting Buddha there, with an appearance of being detached from the world.Seeing that she became calmer, Mrs. Zhang became more and more uneasy.

"Auntie, if he gets sick, what should His Highness the Crown Prince and Second Highness do if he wants to get sick too? The Emperor and the Empress will not convict him?" Mrs. Zhang thought that Liu Dong would stay at home for ten days, so what would he do? At that time, Liu Dong fell ill, so naturally it had nothing to do with the affairs of the palace.It's just that the plan can't keep up with the changes. Now that Liu Dong has entered the palace, there are also His Royal Highnesses and Second Highnesses in the palace.

"If he rushes to His Royal Highness and Second Highness, it's just that he is unlucky. Without the grace, you can't do anything." After listening to Xiao Zhang, she left.

Although she got the idea of ​​Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Zhang was worried after all, and sent her confidants to find Dr. Xia of the Imperial Hospital.Imperial Physician Xia is a relative of Xiao Zhang's maternal ancestral family, and the two of them can be regarded as family friends.Imperial Physician Xia and Imperial Physician He of the Prince's Pharmacy Bureau are senior brothers, and because of their relationship, Mrs. Zhang borrowed Imperial Physician Xia to secretly remind Imperial Physician He to avoid troubles.

Mrs. Zhang thought it was cheap, but she didn't expect that the doctor Xia belonged to Concubine Shao.Concubine Shao took advantage of Xiao Zhang's east wind to set off a huge wave.

Physician Xia would go to the palace every month to check the pulse of Concubine Shao, and it happened to be the day when he received the letter today, so he wrote a letter with his own hand and had someone send it to He Ming's residence, and he carried the medical box and went into the palace.

Physician Xia told Concubine Shao about the current situation of several people in the palace as usual during the pulse diagnosis, and even briefly mentioned Liu Dong's matter.Concubine Shao had her own calculations in her mind, so she dealt with it emptily, and Aunt Shao took a small gold brick to send Imperial Physician Xia out, that's all.

Shaw thought about it carefully while sleeping at night, and felt that there was a lot to be done about this matter, but it was of great importance, and it was easy to show his feet, and he still needed to figure it out slowly.Thinking of the smallpox epidemic in the suburbs of Beijing the day before yesterday, it was a good opportunity not to be missed, so in a dilemma, it was not until the fourth watch that I squinted for a while.

The next day, under the pretext of catching the wind at night, Shao ordered Xia Chunlin to come to check his pulse.Shao's made up his mind, but it was limited by the lack of manpower in his hands. Although Xia Chunlin used to just spread the news, he couldn't care less now.Although Xia Chunlin's hands were not clean, he didn't have the guts to harm the Crown Prince and Second Highness, so he quickly declined.

Mother Shao threatened and lured her, she also said that she would publicize what Xia Chunlin had done in the past, and promised to do it properly.Xia Chunlin was really afraid of things, and was lured by the huge money promised by Shaw Brothers, so he had to verbally agree.

On that day, Zhu Houzhao announced that Liu Dong entered the palace because the plaything Du Ruo had prepared for His Royal Highness was sent into the palace.Made according to the modern toy room, such as puppets, building blocks, bright-colored anti-fall mats used to wrap the corners of the sponge, etc., are exquisite and fun, and some are made individually, and are given to Zhu Houzhao. .

Zhu Houzhao was also bored staying in the palace, and he was happy to see these things, thinking that he was the only one in Liu Dong's family, so he was called into the palace.After they played for a while, Zhu Houzhao gave him everything before letting him go home.

Two days after Liu Dong returned home, he developed a fever, coughed and runny nose, and had red spots on his body.The imperial doctor came to see him, and only said that he had acne and it was not a serious problem.When the news spread to the palace, Zhu Youtang and Zhang hurriedly sent the two brothers Zhu Houzhao and Zhu Houwei to the Ciqing Palace to separate them, announced the prescription prescribed by the imperial physician, and sent someone to watch carefully.

Zhu Houzhao, Zhu Houwei has something to do, Mrs. Zhang is pregnant and cannot take care of her, Zhu Youtang's body is very important, and it is not easy to see his two brothers, so she can only let the mother and maid take care of it.

Everyone thought that Zhu Houzhao and Zhu Houwei were just seeing happiness, and the prescriptions prescribed by the imperial physicians were also divergent after seeing happiness, but after a few days, they gradually became wrong.The disease of chickenpox is small blisters like dewdrops. Zhu Houzhao and Zhu Houwei actually developed bright red plaques and large rashes, and only then did they realize that it was smallpox.As soon as the news came out, everyone was shocked.

There is no effective treatment for smallpox no matter in modern or ancient times. If you suffer from smallpox, you can only leave it to fate whether you can keep this little life.Zhu Houzhao and Zhu Houwei are the only two heirs of Zhu Youtang. Now both of them are suffering from smallpox, but what to do.Besides, smallpox is extremely contagious, and smallpox appeared in the palace. What should the emperor, empress, empress dowager, and empress dowager do?Therefore, all the important ministers wrote to ask the two highnesses to leave the palace to "avoid acne".

Zhu Youtang naturally knew that the conditions outside the palace could not compare with those in the palace, so he was naturally unwilling.But the illness of the two became more and more serious, and even the palace servants who served them were also sick.Zhu Youtang had no choice but to close the Ciqing Palace, only allowed to enter but not to leave, and spread the imperial list, looking for the hermit in the countryside to treat the disease.

Mrs. Zhang remembered that Liu Dong was also sick, so it could not be from him, and sent someone to investigate, but said that Liu Dong was indeed suffering from chickenpox, not smallpox.Mrs. Zhang only sent people to investigate again, and it happened that Mrs. Zhang had tampered with Liu Dong in Liu Dong's decoction. Mrs. Zhang saw that the matter was not simple, so she reported to Zhu Youtang, and Zhu Youtang ordered Jin Yiwei to investigate.

Following the investigation, it turned out that Imperial Physician Xia was captured, but Imperial Physician Xia actually left a letter and committed suicide in fear of crime.The book only said that he tampered with the medicine powder that He Chunlin prepared for Zhu Houzhao to rub his body, which led to this incident.As for why, he didn't mention a word, Jin Yiwei checked and checked, but there was no result.

It was found that Shao Shi was on the head, Shao Shi was completely blind, and she was too old to walk, so she couldn't do anything, and there was no evidence so she could only be let go.Zhu Youtang was angry and ordered Jin Yiwei to investigate strictly.Jin Yiwei couldn't find any evidence, so he could only randomly arrest people and send them to jail, causing panic in the capital.

Zhu Houzhao also knew some knowledge about the prevention of infectious diseases, but he also thought he was suffering from chickenpox, not smallpox.When I found out later, I was already sick and confused, and I didn't know the personnel and affairs, so how could I manage these things.

Naturally, the palace was in chaos, and when the news spread that Du Ruo knew about it, it was like a lightning strike.Du Ruocai happily sent the prepared things into the palace, and got Zhu Houzhao's reply, and turned around and knew that Zhu Houzhao had smallpox.Du Ruo was about to rush into the palace at that time, but was held back by Xianghe.

Du Ruo told himself that he must calm down, took a piece of paper and carefully recalled the modern methods of defense and treatment, and wrote a whole article.Thinking of cowpox again, he hurriedly asked people to find the cow with sores on the udder and breasts.

Not long after, a family member came looking for the sick cow, and regardless of Sanqi 21, vaccinated himself, took the alcohol and other things he had prepared in a hurry, packed up his clothes, and asked someone to carry a sedan chair into the palace.
