Deep in the night, a sliver of silver hangs in the sky

Outside the courtyard wall of Kunning Palace, a black figure hastily jumped into the courtyard wall, hiding in the dark, scanning everything around with sinister eyes.Then he bent his body and ran towards a window without a sound, leaning against the corner of the wall, came under the window, took out a slender bamboo tube from his bosom, stretched out a finger with a little saliva on the window paper He poked a small hole, then stuffed the bamboo tube in his hand into the window, and blew hard, a puff of white smoke slowly overflowed into the bamboo tube, and scattered in the room.There was a smug smile on Hei Ying's face, he put the black cloth on his face, looked around and then disappeared into the night.

The next day, there was a lot of noise in the Kunning Palace. The imperial physicians hurriedly walked into the gate of the Kunning Palace with their medicine boxes on their backs. The empress looked worried and looked at Twelve who was sweating coldly on the bed. Together, why did you get sick all night when you were fine yesterday?

"Emperor doctor, how is Brother Twelve? Does it matter?" The Queen looked at one after another of the imperial physicians who were frowning and shaking their heads, and her heart suddenly came to her throat. Her Twelve must be fine, definitely not something.

Several imperial doctors looked at me and I looked at you, and finally came to the queen and knelt on the ground together, "I want to report to the queen, brother twelve is probably suffering from smallpox!" Seeing some red spots on Elder Brother Twelve, they finally concluded that Elder Brother Twelve had smallpox.I couldn't help but feel a little sad, why so many of the princes had smallpox, and none of them survived.

"What?... God... smallpox?!" The queen lost all her strength in an instant, and sat slumped on the chair, her hand holding the table trembling uncontrollably.How can this not make her afraid, not only one of her sons has died of smallpox, but also the former queen's Yong Cong died of smallpox, why is God so unfair to her?Why do you want to take her beloved son away again and again.

"My lady, my lady, please don't worry, the Twelve Elder Brothers will be fine with their own destiny, you have to relax, Empress, the Twelfth Elder Brothers still need your care!" Rong Rong suppressed the glare in her eyes. Tears, comforting the queen, her heart is no better than the queen at this time.Elder Brother Twelve was brought up by her alone, and now he also suffers from this frightening smallpox, what should we do.If the twelve princes have any troubles, will the queen be able to hold on?

"Your majesty, hurry up and report to the emperor, the emperor must have a way to save Yongzheng! Nanny Rong, go to the emperor quickly, go!" The queen pulled Nanny Rong and said anxiously, no matter what, she would keep her. Her twelve, she must never let him have trouble.

"Your Majesty, please calm down, the emperor went hunting in the paddock today!" Nanny Rong supported the excited queen, and at this moment the emperor happened to be out of the palace to hunt.

The queen struggled to get up from the chair, leaned over to look at the imperial physicians kneeling on the ground, with tears in her eyes, "Several imperial physicians, even if I save you, I must find a way to keep Elder Brother Twelve!"

Several imperial physicians lowered their heads in panic, "Your Majesty is serious, even if your Majesty doesn't say anything, I will do my best... I will prescribe the medicine right now, Your Majesty, please keep the phoenix body!"

Yanxi Palace

Concubine Ling leisurely sipped the fragrant tea in her hand, with a smile on her lips all the time, she was in a particularly comfortable mood this time, the one in Kunning Palace must have collapsed now!Haha... This is the end of going against her. She should have dealt with the twelfth elder brother who was in the way long ago. She has been dragging on until now because she thinks that a sick ghost will not live for a few days, but she did not expect him It is getting more and more alive.

Gently playing with the fake nail covers on her fingers, the queen mother had already gone to the temple to pray for blessings, and she had to take advantage of this golden opportunity to draw the emperor to her side.Elder Brother Twelve has smallpox, the Emperor cannot stay overnight in Kunning Palace, Concubine Chun is crazy, and Emperor Jiafei is very tired of her now, so there is no one who can compete with her.

There was a smug smile on the corners of her lips, her phoenix eyes raised slightly but she saw the little eunuch rushing in, "What happened, why are you panicking?"

The little eunuch walked up to the concubine Ling in a few steps, knelt down on the ground with a plop, gasped and stammered and said: "Mother... mother, the emperor... brought two... two girls into the palace, one of them ...and said she was the emperor's daughter!"

"What? Say it again!" Concubine Ling frowned slightly, staring at the little eunuch in front of her and asked in a cold voice.

"Your Majesty, the emperor brought back two girls, and one of them claimed to be the emperor's daughter!" The little eunuch finally recovered his breath at this moment, and he purposely reported the news to Concubine Ling immediately in order to claim credit in front of his empress. !

"The emperor's daughter? What's going on here?" Ling Fei frowned while listening to the little eunuch's account of what happened on the hunt, and gradually heard that Qianlong was very nervous about the injured girl. A meaningful smile rose up.The emperor had so many romantic affairs that he couldn't count, plus several tours, it is impossible not to leave a man and a woman among the people, but now there are really people looking for him.Tightening the silk handkerchief in her hand and loosening it, a gleam of light flashed in her eyes, even God wanted to help her, "Where is the emperor now?"

"Going back to the empress, on the way back to the palace, the younger one heard what the guards who came back first said, so I chose to run back to report to the empress!" The little eunuch knelt on the ground with a flattering expression on his face. The position of eunuch is still vacant, and he wants to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"Well, well done, I'll remember, let's go down and collect the reward later!" Concubine Ling nodded in satisfaction, but there was no lack of contempt in her eyes.It's really the life of a slave, and only she can stand out and climb up to the position of this concubine. If she is like them, she can only curry favor with her master all day long, so there is no pity.

"Thank you, my servant, I'm leaving first!" The little eunuch stood up, bowed his body and walked out backwards.

"Lamei!" Concubine Ling came to the dressing table and sat down, and shouted in a low voice, she can't dress too gorgeously today, she should be more elegant.

Lamei came in at the sound, rushed to Lingfei's side, bowed and saluted, "Ma'am, what are your orders?"

"Remove all these headgears for me, and replace them with some elegant ones, and bring me a set of elegant clothes! Hurry up, the emperor will return to the palace in a while." Changed to a light makeup, the emperor must be in a very worried mood today, if she is wearing fancy clothes, the emperor will be bored.

"Yes, empress!" Lamei didn't dare to delay at all, and got busy with her hands skillfully.

At the place where Qianlong must pass, Lingfei adjusted her dress and pretended to look at the surrounding scenery as if nothing had happened. She was waiting for the emperor to bring the two girls back to the palace. The two were sent to Yanxi Palace to take care of her, so that she would have the opportunity to contact the emperor, and she would be aboveboard.

"Empress, look quickly, the emperor is back!" Lamei whispered in Lingfei's ear, "It seems that there is still someone in the emperor's arms!"

"Shut up!" Concubine Ling glanced at a large group of people rushing from the distance out of the corner of her eye, feeling a little happy in her heart, and when Qianlong got closer, she pretended to lean over to pick up the handkerchief and looked into the distance , and then rushed to Qianlong with the palace people behind him.

"What happened to the emperor? Who is this injured girl?!" Concubine Ling pretended to be panicked, and looked anxiously at the person in Qianlong's arms.

"I don't have time to talk to you now, I have to find an imperial doctor to treat this girl quickly, and nothing will happen to her!" Qianlong's face was deep, his voice was a little hoarse, it was enough to see his anxiety at the moment and his affection for the injured girl. Pay attention to.

"Your Majesty, send this girl to my Palace of Yanxi Palace!"

"This..." Qianlong originally wanted to take this girl to Kunning Palace, but now that Concubine Ling said that he would send her there, he was a little surprised for a while.

Concubine Ling saw the hesitation in Qianlong's eyes, "Your Majesty, you don't know yet, just now this concubine wanted to go to Kunning Palace to visit Elder Brother Twelve, and Elder Twelve had a hay fever! That's why I asked you to put this Send the girl to me!" The reason why she said this was to let Qianlong know that she was not hostile to the queen, and that she also cared about Elder Brother Twelve, and the reason for smallpox was enough for Qianlong to send the girl to her Palace of Yanxi Palace.

"What? Elder Brother Twelve had smallpox?!" Qianlong felt his head buzzing. As long as he heard the word smallpox now, his heart felt like being stabbed by needles. Several of his sons died of smallpox. .

"Your Majesty, you send the girl to the concubine first, and then the concubine will take care of her for you. Then you can go to Kunning Palace to see Elder Brother Twelve. The queen needs your comfort right now!" Concubine Ling comforted her softly. So, she wants to take this opportunity to reshape her image in Qianlong's heart.

"Okay, then I have you, Concubine Lao Ling!" After hearing what Concubine Ling said, Qianlong felt relieved, nodded and went straight to Yanxi Palace with the person in his arms.

After setting up the people, Qianlong explained a few words to the imperial physicians, and then rushed to Kunning Palace. As soon as he entered the door, he saw the queen sitting beside Yongzhen's bed, wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes with a silk handkerchief.

"Queen, how is Yongzheng?" Qianlong came to the table a few steps, looked at the unconscious person on the bed, "Didn't you be fine yesterday? Why did you suddenly have smallpox? Have the imperial doctors diagnosed it?" There is still a glimmer of hope in Qianlong's heart.

"Your majesty, you are back, save our son!" The queen lay in Qianlong's arms and cried out in grief, "Smallpox, it's smallpox again, why did God punish me like this!"

Qianlong froze on the ground, staring at the person on the bed with wide eyes in disbelief, he just felt as if struck by lightning, "It's really smallpox!" A kind of desperate grief and anger spewed out from the bottom of his heart, spreading rapidly uncontrollably.
