Chapter 28 Disease

Shen Xuanji was angry, but he still sent Lan Qing back to the Anguo Mansion to inform Mrs. Ye. Mrs. Ye was so angry that she had a headache. When she saw Lan Qing coming in, her face was a little embarrassed. When Lan Qing brought Shen Xuanji's words, he took out another box of two wild ginsengs. "The princess said that there has been nothing good recently. Only these two are still complete. Please ask the old lady to take care of yourself."

"Go back and thank the princess for me." Mrs. Ye blushed slightly, "Try her sister not to be angry..."

Lan Qing smiled and said, "Why don't you say that the princess knows the old lady's heart? The princess specifically asked me to bring a message so that the old lady must not be angry. The princess and several girls arrived in Qiongjiang, relying on the old lady and the prince's post next week, and the princess and Miss Shen Er kept them in mind.

"The princess said that no matter who is from others, she is a direct relative of the old lady and the prince of the country, and she will not be angry with the elders. Please rest assured."

When Mrs. Ye heard this, her face was slightly beautiful, "Well, you are very smart and can speak. It was right to ask you to follow the big girl at the beginning. Go ahead and say I know. The second girl hasn't seen her sister for many days. If you want to live, you can stay a few more days before coming back.

Lan Qing took the order, and Qingqi helped Mrs. Ye up. "The old lady drank ginseng soup. The maidservant had long said that the princess and the second girl were both polite and filial, and they would not blame the old lady and the prince."

"That's the advantage of their sisters. How can I not explain it to the two of them?" Mrs. Ye's eyes widened.

"The second master is old, and the prince also has a spring and autumn. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to be angry and beat him like that." Qingxun lowered his head and lowered his voice.

"Alas...it's all injustice..." Mrs. Ye sighed long.

With Mrs. Ye's reply, Shen Yuluo lived in the Nine Kings' Mansion. Xue Zhen naturally had no objection. After listening to Huo Qiyue's words, he was even more angry than Shen Xuanji, "Wei, the second ancestor, are dead with the princess?"

Hu Qiyu couldn't answer the matter of the princess's family, but changed the topic with a smile, "I heard that that one picked ten young and beautiful Hu Ji to go in. Recently, she has been in the limelight!"

Xue Zhen raised the corners of his eyes disdainfully, "Ead bug tricks, treacherous savers." ......

In a blink of an eye, more than ten days passed. In the middle of the day and night, Xue Zhen was sleeping sweetly with his wife. Suddenly, he heard the sound of footsteps kicking, and layers of torches lit up outside, as if to break through the silence of the night.

Shen Xuanji was so shocked that she sat up. At that moment, she thought of the night her father received the Beijin's strange military newspaper. She also woke up from her sweet dream.

Xue Zhen saw that her face was panicked and held her in his arms and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong? Is it so noisy?"

"When I returned to the prince's words, he said that the emperor was suddenly fainting somehow. People came from the palace, and it was said that the prince and the princesses were entering the palace!" The reply is Mother Hua.

Xue Zhen and Shen Xuanji looked at each other and hurriedly got up to change their clothes and entered the palace. Although the two were very fast, they were still one step later than others when they arrived at Yuantai Hall.

The curtain in the inner room hangs down, and there is only occasional sound. The third prince, who had always been unfavored in the outer room, sat with the princess in the nearest place to the door, but the sixth prince still did not come. The sixth princess smiled very friendlyly when she saw Xue Zhen and the two.

Shen Xuanji took advantage of the opportunity to sit next to her. Xue Zhen walked to the third prince and didn't know what to say in a low voice.

"Why don't you see the Eight King's sister-in-law?"

The sixth princess listened to the question and curled her lips disdainfully to the inner room, "It's sold well in it!"

Shen Xuanji didn't know how to answer this, so he looked around and saw the third princess looking at her and smiled at her.

The third princess and the third prince look very similar. They both have long faces and white skin, and a pair of eyes are foggy. Although they are the oldest, the look on their faces is the simplest. When she saw Shen Xuanji looking at her, she also smiled shyly.

For a moment, I saw the curtain open, and Noble Concubine Li came out with the eighth prince. Presumably the eighth princess was still taking care of her in front of the bed. Li Guifei's eyes were red and swollen, but her face was not messy at all. Her voice trembled slightly, "The emperor said that during the period of recuperation, the Eighth Prince will supervise the country."

"Yes." Everyone in the room knelt down to receive the order, and the sixth princess snorted coldly. Shen Xuanji quickly pulled her, and she didn't care much.

This oracle almost points out the identity of the Eighth Prince's quasi-East Palace. He was originally the only prince among the emperor's son, and his mother is the noble concubine Li, who has been favored for many years, and has always been the most likely candidate for the prince. It's just that people usually speculate without authorization, but this is the emperor's own order. The Eighth Prince was so excited that he trembled and sobbed and said something "to live up to his trust".

The emperor has been ill for more than a month. As a daughter-in-law, Shen Xuanji must serve the king every day. Although there are eight princesses, she can't get her hands in. Most of the time, she stands on one side. But the only advantage is that after serving the emperor, she can always go to the "Shou'an Hall" to see the Empress Dowager, which is much more convenient than in the past when she had to hand over the folds to enter the palace.

The eighth prince is full of ambition these days, and his filial piety is done for him by the eighth princess. He is very busy outside. In the egg, he deposed several ministers who usually didn't pay much attention to him but were upright and capable. He put all his cronies in a critical position, and even intervened in the assessment of officials by the Ministry of Officials.

The emperor himself is a rotten person, and the education of these princes is almost all worried by the empress dowager. And the eighth prince obeyed his mother's order. Although Princess Li is a master of palace fighting, it is true that she has nothing to see in state affairs. The mother and son blindly grabbed power and only sought the throne, regardless of the fate of the country.

On this day, Shen Xuanji finished ordering Mao in the "Yuantai Hall" and only brought a few servants to the "Shou'an Hall". But before she entered the door of the palace, she heard the Empress Dowager lose her temper.

"Get out of here!" The Empress Dowager was seriously ill and weak. She picked up the medicine bowl and threw it away, but it was only one step away from the bed. However, her power still existed for many years, and her voice was low and harsh, and the highness was so scared that he cringed and crawled out.

Shen Xuanji left several people outside the hall and stepped inside by himself.

"Can't you hear the words of your family?" The Empress Dowager was panting, "Get out of here!"

"Empress dowager, it's me." Shen Xuanji stood in front of the bed and helped her sit up. He went to the table and poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to the empress dowager.

When the Empress Dowager saw her, she stopped swearing, but became more and more angry. She lowered her voice and said to Shen Xuanji, "The emperor is still there!" He can't wait like this!"

Shen Xuanji didn't say a word, just listened silently.

The Empress Dowager exhaled, "How's your side?"

"The situation is much better than the previous days." Shen Xuanji said, "The injured have been treated by the doctor, and the dead have been sent to Yizhuang. After all, it is hot and afraid of rebirth of acute illness. The survivors are placed in tents and will not be displaced. Fortunately, it's hot, and it's okay to stay for a few days. The prince has found someone to repair the old house for them. It's really burning. He has also arranged other accommodation, and he can move in the day after tomorrow.

Shen Xuanji glanced at it, but only said it to the Empress Dowager smoothly, and did not mention the constraints of Xue Zhen's office. The officials prevaricate each other, the doctors were absent-minded, and even arranged the tents of the victims. Half of them were "Jin Wuwei", and the other half of them were borrowed by himself to the Military Department to mortgage the seal.

But after all, the empress dowager is the empress dowager. As soon as she heard it, she knew that Shen Xuanji would report the good news or not. "You are afraid that I will worry, but I know that those people have been under the Eight Kings for a long time and may not be willing to listen to Jiu'er."

Shen Xuanji didn't say anything. A few days ago, an oil workshop in the west of Qiongjiang City caught fire for some unknown. When the fire started, it was in the middle of the night. When people woke up, it was already burning the camp. Although the fire was limited, Qiongjiang was an inch of land and an inch of gold, and there were many residents on a street. When this half of the street burned down, 70 or 80 people were killed and injured.

Moreover, the first person to arrive at the scene was actually "Jin Wuwei". Shen Xuanji didn't dare to say this, and the Empress Dowager had to be angry to death.

"I think I really did something wrong back then." The Empress Dowager sighed that she loved her son and did a lot of shady things in order to promote him to the throne of Dabao, but she absolutely did not want to destroy the Dayun Dynasty.

"I shouldn't blame Chen Jin. Presumably she is exactly the same as what I thought back then." Shen Xuanji sat aside and didn't say a word.

"The eight kings are exactly the same as the emperor, just making their families sad. Why do the people live up to it?" The Empress Dowager was a little depressed, "It's all my fault. I'm so selfish that I have no face to see the late emperor."

When Shen Xuanji saw that she was really sad, she was also sad and speechless.

"What do you think?" The Empress Dowager asked her.

Shen Xuanji still lowered her head and thought for a moment and said clearly, "I think that as a child, you can't let your parents die worthless."

"This road is dangerous. If you are not careful, you will lose the whole market." The Empress Dowager's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Although I am stupid, I still know how to raise my hand without regret." Shen Xuanji still said slowly, and the two of them were like a front.

"What will you do if you lose?"

"The prince will not lose." Shen Xuanji suddenly smiled and looked at the empress dowager with big eyes, "He will definitely not lose."

When Shen Xuanji returned to the royal palace, Xue Zhen had stood alone in the garden for a long time.

"What does the prince do? Don't bask in this hot sun and come in quickly. Shen Xuanji pulled him into the house.

Xue Zhen's face is not as festive as usual, and he seems to be very tired and helpless. Shen Xuanji and he have been married for several months, and it is the first time to see him like this.

"I went to Yizhuang today." As soon as Xue Zhen's voice fell, Mother Hua immediately rushed out in a panic.

Shen Xuanji ignored her and looked at Xue Zhen quietly.

" Xuan Ji, why do you think those people died?" Xue Zhen also looked at her.

"They died from natural disasters, but if they are left alone, natural disasters will become a human disaster, and more people will die from man-made disasters."

Xue Zhen couldn't take his eyes off Shen Xuanji and smiled for a long time, "You're right."

Shen Xuanji was about to speak when she saw Mother Hua come in with a basin of grapefruit leaf water and sprinkled it on Xue Zhen desperately. Xue Zhen was so cold that he and Shen Xuanji even forgot what they said and said in a daze, "M Mother, what are you doing?" Mother Hua ignored him, sprinkled a basin of water, gave the two people a white look, and went out.
