Chapter 1068 Selfishness
After the epidemic temporarily stabilized, it was late June.
However, after the epidemic in Zhili and Beijing stabilized, an epidemic occurred in the palace.
Three palace maids and two eunuchs fell ill one after another. Although they had been sent out in time, no one could guarantee that they did not infect people.
Ye Zao controlled the harem more strictly and Yuxiu Palace more strictly.
Especially for the Eighth Prince, no extra person is allowed to contact him. Those who serve him are not allowed to leave Yuxiu Palace.
Of course, in special times, everyone doesn’t refute it, they are all voluntarily.
Every day, people should use vinegar to sprinkle everywhere, and everyone from their master to their slaves should take medicine to prevent it.
Yuxiu Palace was safe and sound. But four days later, an eunuch in Shoukang Palace fell ill.
Soon, there was a second and a third one.
The Queen Mother was finally infected on the third day of July.
After she fell ill, she had an ominous premonition, and the imperial physician finally confirmed that the empress dowager was infected with the epidemic.
For a moment, the palace was extremely sluggish.
After hearing this, the Fourth Master was about to visit him, but the officials did not allow him.
But when the empress dowager learned that she was sick, she was first surprised and puzzled, and then asked the Fourth Master to come and serve him.
Yes, she took the initiative to ask the Fourth Master to serve the disease.
The original words are: "I unfortunately get sick from the Ai family, please ask the emperor to serve the disease."
There is nothing wrong with a mother who is sick and asks her son to serve her.
But a mother got an infectious disease and after she got sick, she immediately wanted her son to serve her. This... made people feel very moved.
The Fourth Master was really unable to explain clearly what he felt at that time.
He didn't mind seeing his mother, and he was going to go.
But when the Empress Dowager asked him to go so seriously, he felt a slap in the face.
Is the emperor's mother not sure what disease she has?
Or... the emperor's mother has the idea that she can't be good if she is not good?
Ye Zao was the first to kneel outside the Qianqing Palace: "Emperor, the Empress Dowager is infected with the epidemic and should not have been asked to see the Emperor. Although the Emperor is filial, this is a major event. How important is the Emperor's dragon body? If there is something wrong, what will the people in the world do? Please don't go to see the Empress Dowager. I am the noble concubine and I am willing to go to the Empress Dowager for the Emperor!"
The Fourth Master came out and took a few steps to support her: "Get up, what are you doing?"
"I am worried that the emperor will ignore the overall situation because of his filial piety. The emperor is the heaven of the Qing Dynasty, so he must not be so selfish! If the emperor is sick, what should I do if the Qing Dynasty is called? Please think twice."
She said this and knelt like this. The minister following the Fourth Master was originally here to persuade the Fourth Master, and now she knelt down and begged: "The Imperial Concubine is very wise, and every sentence is heartfelt. I would like to think twice for the sake of the Qing Dynasty and the people!"
"Although I am the emperor, I am also a son of man. How can my mother not visit me if she is sick? How can I gain a foothold in the future?" The Fourth Master frowned: "I understand that all the good deeds, but I have never been a son who has never been a mother who has not been to see a doctor. How can I set a precedent?"
People these days can still endure incompetence. But if you are unfilial, you are even a great talent and cannot survive.
When the harem female family learned that the imperial concubine had risen up and begged, they hurriedly came to beg her.
But neither the female relatives in the harem nor the ministers of the previous dynasty stopped the Fourth Master.
The Fourth Master entered the Shookang Palace with a sarcastic mood. He also ordered that no one was allowed to approach the Shookang Palace.
Ye Zao stood outside Shoukang Palace and sneered in front of the woman in the harem: "That's true mother and son, such a selfish and ruthless person, he actually gave a name as a title. It's really strange and strange that the late emperor never asked her about the crime of deceiving the king!"
After saying that, he left with his hands, regardless of the respectful voices of the concubines behind him.
Everyone was shocked by the imperial concubine's words. There were so many people who wanted to spread it, and they asked the imperial concubine to bear the infatuation of being unfilial.
After all, this is a public criticism of the empress dowager for being unethical.
However, based on what the Empress Dowager did this time, those who are smart know that the imperial concubine's accusation was for the emperor.
Even if the emperor heard about it, he would only be moved and would never be angry.
So what if the empress dowager is angry? This time, I am afraid that it will hurt the emperor's heart. It is easy to be sad, but it will not be easy if it is cured.
It would be fine if the empress dowager passed away, but if she had been through it by chance... I'm afraid I would regret it too much.
Thinking again, could the Queen Mother just feels dead, so she is called on the emperor to serve her?
Thinking of this, everyone secretly took a breath. In this case, the imperial concubine was really right to scold her, and the empress dowager really couldn't afford to be the word "De".
I have seen someone who is lying on his back, but what if this person who is lying on his own parents or the emperor?
That's really never seen.
When the Fourth Master entered the Shoukang Palace, he saw that the servants here looked sad and looked cautious while walking, and they were completely different from the past.
The Fourth Master ignored these things and just entered the main hall.
Although he came in, the imperial physician still applied potions to prevent bacteria on his entire body.
I have a mask on my mouth, and even the masks are soaked in medicine and dried.
There was a smell of medicine between breathing, but it didn't smell bad.
In the Queen Mother's bedroom, she lay down with a flushed face and she had a fever.
Now that I saw the Fourth Master coming, I smiled: "The Emperor is here."
The Fourth Master stepped forward: "I'll give a greeting to the emperor."
The Empress Dowager smiled: "It's the same if you don't meet. The Ai family will soon go to see the late emperor."
The Empress Dowager really thought she was going to die. As for calling the Fourth Master, she didn't think about asking him to die with her.
It's... I'm dying and can't stand him happy.
She is seriously ill and about to die. She always wants her son, who has never been willing to bow his head, to serve him for a few days, right?
From then on, she died and could not see her, and he would be free.
As for whether she is infected with the emperor, she doesn't want to do so.
It’s not that I don’t think about it anymore, but that I think it won’t be a problem.
How could the emperor get sick? Look at him, who is fully armed, there will be no trouble.
The Empress Dowager always lacks the kindness of the fourth master.
It even has a kind of indescribable and love-like hatred.
The Fourth Master refused to respond, but just waved his hand and asked the imperial physician to continue the diagnosis and treatment.
Although the epidemic has stabilized, it is not much to cure by taking medicine. To be precise, there is not yet.
This time, the Fourth Master was doing it himself. Except for not saying a word, everything he did was serious and responsible.
But even the Queen Mother regrets it.
But she thought again, it was already like this, and it was too late to go out now.
