Chapter 29 The Executioner

Kangxi 24 years

The sixth elder brother and the fourth elder brother suffered from dysentery successively, and Gandong No. [-] Institute fell into an unprecedented panic.

The Empress Dowager issued a decree that the elder brother, the third elder brother, and the fifth elder brother moved to Qianxi No. [-] for temporary shelter, and Gandong No. [-] was sealed off, and no one was allowed to enter or leave easily. All the elder brothers needed were brought in by special personnel.The imperial physicians must cure the two elder brothers, and if there is any mistake, they will be punished severely.

Yonghe Palace

Concubine De was leaning on the couch with a pale face, Qingju stepped forward worriedly and said, "Your Majesty, let's call the imperial doctor to have a look, you have been neither eating nor sleeping, how can your body bear it?"

Concubine De shook her head, "The Holy Majesty is on tour, with most of the imperial doctors accompanying him. The Imperial Hospital is already short of manpower, so I can't add to the chaos at this time."

Qingju lowered her head with tears in her eyes, "Mother, you have always been blessed by the heavens, and your children will be safe. The two elder brothers will be fine. You have to take care of yourself."

Concubine De smiled bitterly, and looked up at Qingju after a while, "Did I ask you to find all the things?"

"It's all ready," Qing Ju leaned over, "The servants have brought out all the best medicinal materials from the warehouse."

"Help me to take a look," Concubine De propped herself up.

"Yes," Qingju helped Concubine De, and walked to the table in the outer hall.

All kinds of boxes were piled up on the table, Concubine De picked up the top red brocade box and opened it to look.

"Miss, this is..."

"This is Cordyceps sinensis, which was paid as a tribute by the Heshuote Khanate. Unlike ordinary Cordyceps, these grow at the foot of the snow-capped mountains in Tibet. They are very effective and hard to find. There are only a hundred of them in total, and the emperor rewarded ten of them. Me, because of Yinzuo's birth."

"Niang Niang..." Qingju said softly.

Concubine De sighed, "Go and get another box."

"Yes," Qingju led the way down, and took a dark blue brocade box.

Concubine De opened the box and took five caterpillar fungus, but she didn't put them down for a long time. Qingju didn't dare to make a sound and just watched them motionless.

It seemed that it took a long time before Concubine De came back to her senses and slowly put the Cordyceps into the blue brocade box. "Divide these things and send them to the two elder brothers, and then ask if there is anything missing."

"Yes," Qingju saluted, led two little maids, and left with things in their hands.

Concubine De sat alone in the living room, feeling a chill in her heart.

Huanyue knelt in front of the gate and stopped the imperial concubine, "Young lady, you can't go, the empress dowager is not in good health, and the empress dowager didn't dare to tell her about it. If you go, you have committed a crime." The emperor's taboo."

The imperial concubine's face turned ashen, "What can I do? The imperial hospital is a bunch of waste. Except for those who go on tour with the emperor, only the empress dowager is left. Is this palace going to ask for a decree? Si elder brother ...Can you still get out of Brother's Office?"

"Your Majesty, even if you want to go, you have to ask the Empress Dowager for instructions first. Besides, the Tai Hospital said that the condition of the two elder brothers has improved, maybe it's not that serious at all."

The imperial concubine sneered, "It's not that serious? It's not that serious. Why did those quack doctors work hard to transfer the three elder brothers? It's not that serious. Why didn't the queen mother tell me the pulse record? She was afraid of disturbing her ancestors." I am not afraid of the guilt of the crime!"

"Your Majesty!" Huanyue hugged the imperial concubine's leg, "Your Majesty, just wait another day, just one day. It's only been two days since the illness of the two elder brothers. You are in such a hurry to disturb the old ancestors. Turn around and say goodbye." It's hard to explain. Madam, I beg you!"

The imperial concubine stiffened and stood for a while, "Okay, just one day, I will wait another day."

Sho San Institute

After a round of inspections by several imperial physicians, they went out of the bedroom to discuss prescriptions.

Su Wei rushed to the window with quick eyes and hands, opened the window, Xiao Erge passed a food box in sideways, and before he could speak, Su Wei swung it back twice.

The fourth elder brother was lying weakly on the bed. Although the onset of the disease was later than the sixth elder brother, but the attack was fierce, and almost exhausted all his physical strength in one night.

A few imperial doctors consulted for half an hour, and poured down several bowls of bitter medicine, but it had no effect.For fear that the fourth elder brother would excrete too much, hurt his stomach and intestines, and have bloody stools like the sixth elder brother, the imperial doctors decided to temporarily cut off the fourth elder brother's diet and only fed rice soup a few times a day.

This made Su Wei roll his eyes in anger. It is true that the fourth elder brother defecated less frequently after not eating, but that was because there was nothing in his stomach, and all the water came out later. If this continues, the fourth elder brother must be dehydrated .

As for the ancient hunger therapy, there is a record in the Dream of the Red Chamber, and Su Wei also believes that there is some truth to it.But what Qingwen suffers from is a cold, and what Xiren suffers from is a cold. Can this be compared with dysentery?If the two elder brothers are suffering from viral dysentery and their body resistance is weakened, it will be even more difficult to cure.

Su Wei remembered that when he had dysentery, he refused to eat because he always went to the toilet, so his mother force-fed him two bowls of corn porridge.

If you have dysentery, you can't eat greasy and indigestible food, but you must not eat anything.So Su Wei secretly ordered Xiao Erge to cook porridge with fine rice and less salt in it.

In order to prevent the fourth elder brother from dehydrating, Su Wei always feeds the fourth elder brother water mixed with salt.Although I'm not 100% sure that it will work, it's better than watching those quack doctors who don't want to be meritorious but just want to do nothing.

After feeding the fourth elder brother porridge, Su Wei quietly handed out the food box again.

The fourth elder brother who had eaten seemed to gain some strength. He opened his eyes and looked at the top of the bed for a long time, then asked Su Peisheng next to him in a low voice, "Am I dying?"

Su Wei was taken aback, "Don't talk nonsense, you are just sick and weak."

The fourth elder brother blinked, and the corners of his eyes were slightly wet, "Don't lie to me, I have been sick many times, and none of them was like this. I know what dysentery is. I read it in a book, and many people can't survive it."

"You are different, you will definitely get through this, I can assure you, you will not die," Su Wei half-kneeled on the ottoman, "I can bet my life with you, not only will you not die, In the future, he will be successful and famous, and his name will last forever.”

The fourth elder brother pursed his lips, turned his head to look at Su Peisheng with difficulty, "Are you serious?"

Su Wei nodded, "Of course it's true. I'm using my own head as a guarantee. Besides, I'm still counting on honoring my ancestors by following you. The ancestors of the slave family entrusted me with dreams, saying that they will follow you. That's right."

The fourth elder brother chuckled, "You will talk nonsense."

At noon, the fourth elder brother took medicine, but the imperial doctor still shook his head slightly after taking the pulse.Sure enough, before noon, the fourth elder brother started vomiting and diarrhea again.

While comforting the fourth elder brother, Su Wei directed the little eunuchs to clean up the fourth elder brother in time.After two days of stretching, the fourth elder brother had no strength to get out of bed anymore, so Su Wei laid two layers of half mattresses under the bed. Once it got dirty, he would take it down and replace it with a new one, so as to save the fourth elder brother from having to get up all the time.

After tossing and tossing for more than an hour, the fourth elder brother was so tired that he fell asleep.Taking advantage of this time, Su Wei went to the west hall of the main hall to change clothes, disinfect and eat.For the past two days, he has been taking care of the fourth elder brother and has not changed shifts with anyone. Now, he is not at ease to hand over the fourth elder brother to anyone.

Another day later, the imperial concubine, who had hardly slept all night, hurriedly had some breakfast, and when she was about to go to the Empress Dowager's Palace, a little eunuch who hurried in blocked her footsteps.

"Your Majesty, Brother Six is ​​dead..."

The imperial concubine was dizzy for a while, and took several steps back. Fortunately, Huanyue quickly stepped forward to support her, and the imperial concubine regained her composure, "Say, who?"

The little eunuch knelt on the ground, his head was so low that he couldn't see, "Sixth brother, when the eunuchs who served him found him this morning, he was already cold..."

Sho San Institute

When the imperial doctors entered the room to check the pulse, they saw Su Peisheng, the personal eunuch of the fourth elder brother, untying his braid tied to the bedpost.

Su Wei hadn't slept for two days. He was afraid that he would fall asleep, so he imitated the ancient hanging beam, let alone the ugly big braid of the Qing Dynasty, which was quite effective.The fourth elder brother was still asleep on the bed, and he tossed and tossed a few times in the middle of the night last night, but fortunately it was not that serious, and Su Wei took care of it by himself.

In fact, what Su Wei is most afraid of is the night, especially when the fourth elder brother has no strength.If you can't roll over when you vomit, get choked and suffocate, or pass out from dehydration, it will be bad if the people around you don't catch it in time.So Su Wei didn't dare to sleep, didn't even dare to blink his eyes, and tried the fourth elder brother's breathing from time to time, and helped the fourth elder brother turn over after an hour.

The imperial doctors checked the pulse of the fourth elder brother, their expressions were cloudy and uncertain, and some of them sighed frequently. Su Wei watched from the side, feeling cold in his heart.Although Yongzheng did not die young in history, but he, a passionate young man in the 21st century, has come to be a eunuch, and it is not impossible for history to be a little bit wrong.

Su Wei swallowed, and leaned over to the leading imperial physician, "Emperor Zhang, how is fourth elder brother? I see you are all sighing, I am very worried."

Doctor Zhang still had a good impression of this conscientious young eunuch, so he said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, Mr. Su, the fourth elder brother's pulse condition is stable and there is no sign of deterioration. The reason we sigh is because of the sixth elder brother. "

"Sixth brother?" Su Wei felt uneasy.

"That's right," an imperial physician next to him said, "Brother Six passed away in the middle of the night last night."

Su Wei's eye circles became hot, he quickly lowered his head, and several imperial doctors walked out of the bedroom shaking their heads.
