Dressed as Su Peisheng

Kangxi 24th year, the ninth day of June

A sedan chair goes straight to the Palace of Compassion

Charity Palace

The eunuch came to report, "Empress Dowager, the imperial concubine went to the Palace of Compassion and Peace again early in the morning."

The mother next to the queen mother said from the side, "The imperial concubine is defying the order openly, should we send someone to stop the queen mother?"

The empress dowager lowered her head and touched her armor, "Forget it, let her go. The empress dowager has a headache recently and has been unable to get out of bed for several days. Besides, there is no handwritten order from the Ai family, so anyone in the Compassionate Ning Palace can do it casually." Did you get in? Take ten thousand steps back, sooner or later the empress dowager must know about it, it’s much better for her to tell it than the empress dowager hear it from someone else..."

Zhongcui Palace

Hershey led the maid to the gate.

"Where are you going?" A cold voice came from behind.

Hesheli turned her head and smiled slightly, "Greetings to the imperial concubine."

Concubine Wen Xi walked in front of her, "The imperial concubine has ordered you not to walk out of the palace gate at will."

Hershey's face darkened, and she smiled coldly, "Sister Guifei really knows how to tell jokes, this is Zhongcui Palace, where did such a noble concubine come from? She is not the master of the harem, why is my sister so obedient?"

Concubine Wen Xi glanced at her, and looked outside the palace gate, "The imperial concubine has the highest position in the harem, and has been appointed by the emperor to manage the affairs of the six palaces. Why is she not the head of the harem? You, a concubine, want to do it everywhere. Take part in a couple of peaces. In the past, you can make troubles as you like. But at this juncture, you'd better be honest."

Hesheli still smiled, "Your Majesty is really sensible and well-behaved. Anyway, your elder sister has been a queen for a few days. How can there be such a timid younger sister like you?"

Concubine Wen Xi turned her head, "Don't let me talk so fast, the crime of contradicting the concubine is not something that the deceased queen can take care of. The harem is long, so you should be optimistic about yourself." Wen Xi The imperial concubine turned her head and walked into the main hall, "All of you have watched the gate for me, and let those who shouldn't go out, and you are all in bad luck!"

"Yes!" All the servants in the courtyard knelt down in unison.

Hershey snorted coldly, turned around and returned to her room.

Outside the Cining Palace

The guards greeted the sedan chair, "Slaves pay respects to the imperial concubine."

"Get up, I have something important to report to the Empress Dowager, go and report it!"

The guards looked at each other in embarrassment, "Your Majesty, forgive me. The Empress Dowager has an order not to disturb the Empress Dowager's rest at will. May I ask if the imperial concubine has an order from the Empress Dowager?"

"Bold!" Huanyue said from the side, "What are your identities, dare to question the imperial concubine?"

"Slaves dare not!" The guards knelt down, "It's just that the queen mother issued an order, and the servants dare not resist it!"

The imperial concubine got off the sedan chair, "Now it's about the life and death of the fourth elder brother. I don't hesitate to resist the order. You dare not disobey the queen mother. I don't blame you. But I will go in today, what can you do?"

The guards looked at each other and moved closer together. The imperial concubine walked in step by step, and the guards could only retreat step by step.

When they reached the door, the leading guard held the handle of the knife, "Imperial Concubine, please don't move forward. The servants are ordered to protect the safety of the Empress Dowager. It is really not allowed to let the Imperial Concubine in. If the Imperial Concubine takes another step forward, the servants will be killed." Only to be offended."

"Presumptuous!" There was a shout from a distance, and everyone took a closer look, wearing a purple peony skirt and a golden step Yao with two lotuses on her head, it was Concubine Yi who came.

"Greetings to Empress Yifei!"

Concubine Yi glanced at them, then raised her head slightly, "The Imperial Concubine was appointed by the Holy Majesty to be in charge of the affairs of the Six Palaces, and she is in the same position as the Deputy Empress. Even though the Empress Dowager is honorable, is the Imperial Concubine someone you can openly offend?"

"I don't dare, it's just..."

"I will give you a choice," the imperial concubine said from the side, "either get out of the way, or kill me..."

"This..." The guards were stunned, not daring to move.

When the crowd confronted each other, the gate of the Palace of Compassion and Ning was opened, and several maids walked out first, standing on both sides of the gatepost, and a nun in a green bamboo-patterned satin gown slowly came out among them.

"Su Momo!" Imperial Concubine and Concubine Yi leaned over together.

Aunt Su Mala bowed slightly, "You two ladies are very polite. I don't know what's urgent for you two ladies to threaten the gate guards of the Palace of Compassion and Ning so early in the morning?"

The imperial concubine knelt down first, "Please forgive me, the fourth elder brother is dying, and I will definitely see the empress dowager today."

"Fourth elder brother?" Su Momo frowned.

Concubine Yi stepped forward and said, "Mama didn't know that the fourth elder brother and the sixth elder brother suffered from dysentery one after another in the elder brother's hospital, and the left-behind staff in the imperial hospital were insufficient in medical skills. As a result, the sixth elder brother died of illness the morning before yesterday..."

Mother Su looked shocked, "It's happening?" Then she frowned, "But the old ancestor has a headache these days, and he doesn't want to see anyone."

The imperial concubine bowed her head, "The concubines don't want to disturb the ancestors, but now, it's about the two elder brothers who moved to the palace. One is gone, and the concubines can't keep the other. They can only risk their lives to see the ancestors. Give the imperial doctor to treat the fourth elder brother, and the concubine is willing to accept all punishments."

Aunt Su Mala sighed and helped the imperial concubine up, "Your words are serious. You are protecting the dragon heirs. What's more, these elder brothers are not the heart and soul of the ancestors. They are just the heads of the ancestors." The wind was indeed blowing violently, and it was fine on weekdays, but at this time, I really didn’t dare to report it rashly. If the ancestors knew the news of Sixth Brother’s death, and worried too much, and aggravated his illness, it would be a great sin.”

Concubine Huang Guifei and Concubine Yi looked at each other and said, "We are also worried that our ancestors will affect the Eucharist if they find out, so can we ask Madam Su to dispatch two imperial doctors privately so as not to disturb the Empress Dowager."

"This..." Madam Su pondered for a moment, "Okay, after a few imperial physicians have finished diagnosing my ancestor's pulse, I will send two of them to Elder Brother's office. If my ancestor's headache improves, I will discuss this matter tell her."

"Thank you, Mother Su," the imperial concubine leaned over to salute, and Aunt Su Mala stepped forward to help her up, "I haven't been involved in the affairs of the harem for a long time, but you are an imperial concubine, so you should take care of it." It really can't be vague."

The imperial concubine lowered her head, "The concubine understands, thank you Madam Su for pointing it out."

Aunt Su Mala nodded and bowed back to the door.

The imperial concubine and concubine Yi got into the sedan chair one after another.

The imperial concubine's sedan chair was half-headed by the concubine, and the imperial concubine pondered for a moment and said, "I really didn't expect that today you will come to advance and retreat with me."

Concubine Yi leaned on the sedan chair, "Your Majesty, don't think too much, the concubine just loves the child, if this is the concubine's Fifth Elder Brother... Your Majesty defies the Queen Mother's order, what do you plan to do?"

The imperial concubine's eyes were deep, "This palace is a role model for the harem, and this matter is indeed a big mistake. Now it is natural to go to the Palace of Mercy to plead guilty, and then to the Department of Shenxing to receive the punishment."

Concubine Yi frowned, and Concubine Huang Guifei continued, "Since you have participated in it, don't just hide away. After I serve my sentence, I hope you will take care of Elder Brother for the sake of the emperor."

Concubine Yi thought for a moment, then lowered her head slightly, "Don't worry, empress, this concubine will definitely do her best."

Sho San Institute

Early in the morning, there was chaos in the bedroom.

The fourth elder brother couldn't drink the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician.After feeding a few spoonfuls, Su Wei vomited it all up, followed by a high fever and talking nonsense.

Wang Chaoqing and Chai Yu fetched water, prepared alcohol, and asked the eunuch to change the quilt, clean the house, and were extremely busy.

Su Wei changed the wet handkerchief beside the fourth elder brother, and softly comforted the nonsense little master, his forehead was covered with beads of sweat.

After the imperial physicians checked the pulse, they went to discuss new prescriptions. At this time, Su Wei was no longer shying away from medical treatment, but did not believe these imperial physicians at all.

Chai Yu brought a new brocade quilt for the fourth elder brother to replace, but when he lifted the fourth elder brother's quilt, he screamed. Su Wei turned his head and saw that his heart was half cold, and the fourth elder brother had blood in his stool.

Physician Zhang and others entered the room and looked at the excrement of the fourth elder brother, shaking their heads one after another. The sixth elder brother had frequent stools of blood, which turned from white dysentery to bloody dysentery, and finally died of illness.Now the fourth elder brother is also coming in this direction.

Su Wei was sitting by the bed with a headache. He really hated himself for being weak and alone. At this moment, he had no choice but to send a message to the imperial concubine.

Just when the atmosphere in the room was tense, Xiao Erge ran in, "Grandpa Su, the Palace of Compassion and Ning sent two imperial doctors!"

Yonghe Palace

Qing Ju fed Concubine De the medicine spoon by spoon, "Your Majesty, the imperial concubine went to the Palace of Compassion to beg to see the Empress Dowager, she disobeyed the Queen Mother's order, and now she is kneeling in the Palace of Mercy to plead guilty."

Concubine De drank the medicine silently without saying a word.

Qing Ju secretly sighed, it has been two days, since the day Sixth Brother passed away, Concubine De passed out from heartbreak, and she hasn't said a word since she woke up.

After Qing Ju finished feeding the decoction, Concubine Fu De lay down and was about to leave the bedroom when she suddenly heard a low-pitched question, "How is Si Elder Brother?"

Shinkyoji

The imperial concubine was kneeling in the courtyard, the sun was shining in June, although it was not midsummer, but it was already hot.

The palace rules are strict, and it is a serious crime for a concubine to disobey the Queen Mother's order, but thinking that the imperial concubine protects the dragon's heirs, her affection can be shown, so she was punished to kneel and chant the palace rules a hundred times, temporarily relieved of the responsibility of managing the harem, and meditate on her own mistakes.

The nurses of Shen Xingsi stood on both sides to supervise the punishment, and Qingju knelt behind the imperial concubine with a worried expression.The imperial concubine's health has not been good in recent years, there are thousands of palace rules, how can she stand kneeling like this.

However, the imperial concubine was very calm, with a straight posture, holding the palace rules in her hands, her voice was steady and clear, she turned pages one by one, as if she was reading a book in the palace.The guarding nuns looked at each other and had to admire them.

When everyone was thinking about it, a young eunuch suddenly broke into the gate of the Shenxing Department, and knelt down beside the imperial concubine, "The imperial concubine please stand up, the emperor is in Chengqian palace!"

Hearing this, the servants of the Shenxing Division all knelt down.The imperial concubine put down the palace rules, and slowly bent over and kowtowed. In the end, she won this battle...

Sho San Institute

The imperial doctor next to the Empress Dowager was different, a soup and a few needles made the fourth prince's fever go away.After the two imperial physicians inquired about the condition of the fourth elder brother in detail, and his medication status in recent days, they prescribed three prescriptions on the spot, and even listed the fourth elder brother's daily diet clearly.

Su Wei stepped forward cautiously, "Master Physician, how is our master, when will he recover?"

The white-bearded imperial doctor said, "Don't worry, the fourth prince's condition is complicated, not only suffering from dysentery, but also typhoid fever, kidney deficiency and other diseases. Now the body is injured, and we need to take care of it slowly. We need to stop the diarrhea for the fourth elder brother first. , Replenish the body, look at the condition of the disease, and then consider how to get rid of the root of the disease and solve the source of the disease."

Su Wei breathed a sigh of relief, bowed and saluted, "It all depends on the two imperial physicians."

The news of the emperor's return to Luan reached elder brother in the afternoon.The fourth elder brother was very happy when he found out, and Su Wei also laughed, but his heart was empty. The fourth elder brother still didn't know about the death of the sixth elder brother.
