Kangxi 45 years

On the third day of August, the palace

Su Wei and his group followed the consultants to the door of the Punishment Division, where Nie Deyi, the manager of the Punishment Division, waited outside early.

"Oh, Mr. Gu has worked hard," Nie Deyi smiled and called the consultant line, "It's all ready inside, please put 1 hearts on Eunuch Gu."

"Well," the consultant nodded, then turned to look at Su Wei and the others, "You are not newcomers who have just entered the palace, and you are all respectable people around the master. Now, the prince has been murdered by someone, and his body is heavily infected. Illness is due to your negligence, dereliction of duty, and carelessness. Right now, the prince has not yet recovered, and I will give you a chance to make up for it. Each person will be responsible for thirty boards. After returning to the mansion, you must have a 120-point mentality to serve the prince. Don't make the same mistakes again!"

"I would like to follow the instructions of Chief Gu," said the group, leaning over to accept the punishment.

Only then did Nie Deyi notice Deputy Manager Zhao who had been held up all the way, pointing in a little surprise, "Eunuch Gu, Deputy Manager Zhao is—"

"Zhao Qi is in charge of dispatching the personnel of the internal supervisor, but he has not been able to perform his duties faithfully. Prince Yong was murdered, and he cannot absolve himself of the responsibility." The consultant line folded his hands and glanced at Zhao Qi. He respects the position of the deputy head of the service room, has a staff of forty, and serves in the Punishment Department to pay for his crimes!"

"Eunuch Gu, Eunuch Gu," Zhao Qi broke free from the shackles of the guards, and crawled to the side of the consultant, "Eunuch Gu, this subordinate is wronged. This subordinate has no idea that Xiao Yuanzi colluded with the gangster. This subordinate It was a momentary negligence, and the subordinates knew they were wrong, so they begged Eunuch Gu to forgive him..."

The consultant took a step back, avoiding Zhao Qi's uptight hands without a trace, "You should know the rules of the palace better than I do. What's the use of begging our family at this time? Go and serve in the Punishment Department properly. You have done a good job, you may be remembered by some master one day, and you may be rescued."

"Eunuch Gu!" Zhao Qizheng stared blankly, and then said as if thinking of something, "It's not fair, why can Su Peisheng and the others get a lighter punishment and make up for their mistakes? This subordinate is just an outsider, and has never been close to the prince, let alone The courage to murder the prince, begging Eunuch Gu to deal with it fairly, begging Eunuch Gu to see that his subordinates have worked hard for the respect room for many years, Eunuch Gu..."

"Okay, it's such an ugly scene, be careful not to offend the nobleman," the consultant Xing Chong winked at Nie Deyi, then turned around and led his subordinates away.

"Eunuch Gu, let's go," Nie Deyi covered Zhao Qi's mouth, seeing the consultant walking far away, he suppressed the smile from the corner of his mouth, turned around and ordered, "Bring them in!"

Zhao Qiwu struggled endlessly, and when he passed by Su Wei, he gave him a vicious look.

Nie Deyi chuckled in Zhao Qi's ear and said, "Deputy Manager Zhao should be more honest. Once you enter this door, you should understand some truths. Whoever made the mistake was a little eunuch? If the master wants to investigate , someone has to take the responsibility, right?"

Zhao Qi's eyes protruded, and he looked at Nie Deyi with endless fear and resentment.Nie Deyi shook his head, and pushed open a wooden door for Zhao Qi, "Deputy Manager Zhao, let's go, anyone with a discerning eye can see that your foundation is not as solid as that Eunuch Su."

Su Wei was taken into a cell alone. The room was clean, except for a bench in the middle, and a square table and wooden chairs in the corner.

Two fair-faced little eunuchs each held a stick, and smiled at Su Wei, "Please, Mr. Su, we won't use too much force. We will take a rest early and wait until the palace gate opens tomorrow morning. You can walk back by yourself."

Su Wei pursed his lips, being guarded by two eunuchs so young, he was too embarrassed to ask someone to go through the back door. After hesitating for a long while, he simply lay down on the bench with his head covered. Anyway, there were only thirty boards. It's not that I haven't suffered.

"Eunuch Su, hold on, the little one is here," the slightly fat little eunuch on the left raised his imperial staff high, and spit twice in a serious manner.

As soon as Su Wei closed his eyes, he opened his mouth and howled, but after a long while of the dolphin sound, he didn't feel anything on his buttocks. He turned his head suspiciously, and saw Jiao Jinchao leaning against the door with his eyes squinted, the corners of his mouth almost reaching his ears.

At this time, Prince Yong's Mansion

Shiyue and Niu Hulu finally took Qian back to the front yard. Qian told the imperial doctors about the symptoms of the epidemic in his hometown, and they all matched them one by one.

"It turns out that you are from Chongyang, Hubei, and there is indeed an out-of-date epidemic in Chongyang," Judge Zhou stroked his short beard and nodded, "I wonder how your hometown treats this disease?"

Qian leaned over lightly and said, "Speaking of my lord, the difficulty of this disease is that the patient will keep producing new rashes, and the pus in the rash will make the patient have fever and convulsions, and it is easy to infect others. In order to save his loved ones, the old man took the risk of being infected. He poked out the rashes on the patient's body one by one, squeezed out the pus, and then applied the medicine powder for dispelling toxins and clearing away heat. Unexpectedly, it really worked in the end, and the patient did not regenerate. New rash, no high fever and convulsions."

"It's so!" All the doctors present were stunned, "We only paid attention to the inner healing, but neglected the outer root of the disease..."

Speaking of this, Court Judge Zhou frowned and said, "It's just that there are many herpes on the prince's body, and the pus is very contagious. It may be very difficult to pierce and squeeze out one by one."

When Nian heard this, his expression turned cold, and he turned to stare at Zhou Yuanjudgment and said, "My lord's life is dying, but Zhou Yuanjuan is worried about his own safety. Why, isn't the prince's life as honorable as Zhou Yuanjudgment's?"

"I don't dare to be humble," Zhou Yuan judge hurriedly leaned over, "I am just afraid that the disease will spread again. After all, it is still unknown whether the method this girl said will work. If the disease is not controlled, it will cause panic in the capital. I am afraid." It will threaten the safety of the nobles in the palace."

Nian snorted coldly, turned his head away and said, "Zhou Yuanjue is really dedicated to his duty. I, a side concubine of the palace, dare not accept such a big pot."

"Please forgive my concubine," Zhou Yuan judge cupped his hands, "The humble official must come up with a safe method to cure the prince's illness."

"When you figure it out, it will be the year of the monkey and the month of the monkey?" Niu Hulu held the armrest of the chair, his face turned pale, "Now that the cure is already in front of us, you are still pushing back and forth. You really think that our Prince Yong's mansion is a good bully." ?"

"Please calm down, my lord," another imperial physician also stepped forward and said, "The lowly officials are also forced to do so. The prince's condition cannot be improved, and the lowly officials are also unable to report to the emperor. Please allow another two days, the lowly officials. Do your best to cure the prince's illness."

"You—" Niu Hulu's eyes widened, and she was about to get angry when Shiyue pressed her down.

Shiyue turned her head to look at Qian Shidao, "Since you are a coat, do you have any family members in the mansion? Are there any fellow villagers who have had this disease or been treated for it?"

Qian Shi pursed her lips, lowered her head and said, "To tell you the truth, my maidservant has suffered from this disease before. It was my maidservant's mother who helped her to break out herpes. It's just that my maidservant's forehead passed away a long time ago."

Shiyue nodded slightly and sighed lightly.

Court judge Zhou's eyes lit up, and he looked at Qian Shi and said, "This disease is very similar to smallpox. If you get it once, you probably won't get it again. Since you have seen Lingtang pick up herpes, you should know it well. Why don't you just get herpes?" Let you help us heal the prince."

Niu Hulu and Shiyue looked at each other, and then looked at Nian together. Nian thought for a while, and said to Qian directly, "If you can cure the prince, it will be a great achievement." Whatever you want at that time, Prince Yong's Mansion will satisfy you."

"I don't dare," Qian Shi blessed her body, but her face turned slightly red, "It's just—"

"If you have any difficulties, just speak up," Niu Hulu said from the sidelines.

Qian Shi half bit her lip, hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't know where the prince's herpes is located on his body, I'm afraid this servant will be abrupt."

Nian was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly realized that although this woman is a servant in the palace, she can still marry someone. If she is allowed to pick up herpes all over the prince, it will be difficult to find someone in the future...

"You don't have to worry," Nian leaned back, "You saved the prince, we will arrange your future, and we will not let you cast a shadow, and live a miserable life."

"Thank you side concubine," Qian shi leaned over again, without any further refusal.

The moon is in the middle of the sky, the Department of Punishment

Su Wei was holding a tea bowl and sat on both sides of the square table with Jiao Jinchao.

"You're easy to deceive," Jiao Jinchao said with a smile as he looked at the angry Eunuch Su, "with me here, how could it be possible for you to be punished so easily? Besides, those two little eunuchs are younger than the other, be careful. Those who carry the staff of the criminal division are all powerful."

Su Wei cut it, and took a big sip of tea to calm himself down, "There are too many messy things these days, and my mind is already in a mess. I was thinking that after [-] boards, I would be able to wake up when I go back awake."

"Don't try too hard." Jiao Jinchao frowned, "I think your complexion is worse than that of the gatekeeper outside."

Su Wei sighed, put the tea bowl on the table, propped his chin with one hand, and said with a sad face, "Master's illness has been getting better over and over again, and the clan's house continued to make troubles, and finally brought an irrelevant eunuch to close the case. I I just watched a big net come down, but there was nothing I could do."

"We are slaves, how can we have those supernatural abilities?" Jiao Jinchao patted Su Wei on the shoulder, "In my opinion, His Majesty's respect for Prince Yong is not ordinary. If Prince Yong can survive this , may not be a blessing in disguise."

"He will definitely be able to get through it," Su Wei jumped up suddenly, but suddenly heard a scream, like sandpaper across a glass panel, especially piercing in the palace at night, "What is this sound?"

Su Wei pricked up his ears, but Jiao Jinchao took him to sit down as usual, "This is the Department of Punishment, this kind of voice is very normal."

"Could it be someone from our house?" Su Wei stretched his neck and looked out, "Have they all been beaten?"

"Don't worry," Jiao Jinchao bent his lips, "Not only did my brother arrange it for you, but Mr. Gu also meant to put on a show. The Shuntian Mansion and the Clan Mansion have closed the case. There is a scapegoat in the respect room." That's enough."

"To take the blame, Zhao Qi?" Su Wei blinked, he was really "wisdom eye".

"It's better than the people in your house." Jiao Jinchao poured another bowl of tea for Su Wei, "Long Live Lord has been angry for many days because of Prince Yong's illness, there must be an explanation from the respect room."

"Then, what will happen to Zhao Qi?" Su Wei asked tentatively.

Jiao Jinchao picked up the tea bowl, took a sip slowly, did not answer, and then said as if thinking of something, "By the way, I have something to ask you."

"Tell me," Su Wei stretched his waist.

Jiao Jinchao put down the tea bowl, "Is the Ulanara family Gege in the Eighth Lord's mansion related to your palace?"

"What do you mean?" Su Wei was stunned for a moment, "That Princess is the niece of our princess, but the relationship with our palace is not very good."

"Then it's probably true," Jiao Jinchao took a deep breath, "It's hard to attract attention to this kind of jealousy in the backyard, but one of my subordinates is acquainted with the little maid in Baye's Mansion, from her I heard about Ulanara's sudden fall from favor. What made me particularly concerned was that the time when she fell out of favor was very close to the time when your palace had an accident, and that Ulanara had sent people to inquire many times after she fell out of favor. Prince Yong's condition."
