Chapter 249 Loyal Maid Thirteen
The queen's whole face was frozen, but she soon returned to her natural state, "This is what it should be. After all, the dragon fetus is the most important thing."
After the maids left, the queen reluctantly gathered her energy to deal with these women. Finally, when everyone left, the queen looked incomprehensible.
"All good things cannot happen to one person. Inform the people below that it is time to prepare things." The Queen sneered twice.
Linlang surrounded the entire palace tightly, but as long as you are plotting in this world, no matter how capable you are, you will eventually fall into the trap, but you didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
"The eldest prince... has a pox..." The palace maid fainted immediately after saying this. Ancient times were different from modern times. Chickenpox was also called smallpox. It was a terminal disease here. Being able to survive it was already a blessing from God. .
Linlang gritted her teeth hard. Although she didn't understand how someone could be infected with smallpox in the deep palace compound, no matter what, there was a pregnant woman in the palace now. She had to boil it and stop it as soon as possible, so she had to let this small courtyard go to the hospital first. He was surrounded and no one who had come into contact with the young prince was allowed to leave the room again.
"Go back and tell your empress that as long as I am here, the little prince will definitely be safe and sound, so that she does not have to worry and can raise the baby with peace of mind."
Liu Qingran burst into tears when she heard Linlang's words, but she was no longer the weak and expectant little girl before. She quickly found out who had done it, and immediately dropped smallpox on the second prince. , and even spread smallpox everywhere. Now he only has one thought in his mind, if anything happens to his son and Xiao Tao, you should be buried together.
Liu Qingran's stalemate was extremely obscure. Besides, he did not bring smallpox into the harem. Since the other party dared to do it, he had to bear the risk. Therefore, it was unfortunate that the second prince was also infected with smallpox, and the emperor was also infected with it. Also infected.
After the queen learned about this, she collapsed on the ground and began to pray to God and Buddha. She prayed to God not to make the emperor recover as soon as possible, but to let the emperor die as soon as possible.
Yes, he had smallpox brought in from outside the palace. Although he did it in a subtle way, this kind of thing will not appear for no reason. If it is found on him, it will definitely be a serious crime of confiscating the family and exterminating the clan. He has obviously been so careful. , obviously this kind of thing can only be infected on the eldest prince, and even on that little bitch, how come the emperor is infected?
It would be okay if the emperor died, and she would become the queen mother, but if the emperor lived and investigated the matter, it would be fine if she died, and it might even implicate her good family.
Although Linlang was locked up in the palace, she raised her eyebrows slightly when she learned that the emperor was infected with smallpox. This was a bit strange. Could it be that the smallpox was brought in accidentally, because what if someone deliberately framed it? The emperor will not be infected with this thing.
The emperor is the king of a country. If he is infected with smallpox, it will shake the foundation of the country. Unless the other party is driven by ambition, they will not dare to put the emperor in danger, because once the emperor recovers, he will definitely dig deep. If you catch the person behind it, you will be killed by a thousand cuts.
Linlang hesitated for a moment, but took out the alcohol, and Liu Qingran offered this thing. If it was really useful, it would be beneficial to the country and the people.
Alcohol has good sterilization and fever-reducing effects. Linlang took care of the eldest prince alone. When no one was paying attention, he not only fed him a lot of spiritual spring water, but also anti-fever medicine. Therefore, in less than two days, the big house He returned to normal, but the chickenpox on his face also scabbed, and his whole body was itchy.
"Eldest Prince, please stop scratching. Be careful of leaving scars in the future." Linlang said jokingly: "Our eldest prince will be a handsome man in the future if he takes advantage of your empress's strengths. But we can't expose him at this time." Your face is ruined, otherwise you won’t be able to get a wife in the future.” After hearing Linlang say this, the eldest prince immediately covered his face and did not dare to scratch it. Unless it was unbearable, he would just rub it lightly. one time.
Linlang also took out the cooling ointment and carefully applied it on the red and swollen areas of the eldest prince. Not only could it remove the swelling, but it could also relieve the itching.
There was a turmoil in the palace because of the smallpox incident for nearly three or four months. During this period, Liu Qingran also gave birth to a little princess safely. Although this was the emperor's third daughter, the emperor was still very happy. He was even given a title because he recovered after the birth of his daughter, and the third princess was his lucky star.
After the emperor recovered, the first thing he did was to thoroughly investigate the smallpox incident. Although the smallpox came from Liu Qingran Palace, everyone knew that Liu Qingran had used his methods. The palace was strictly managed, and ordinary palace maids and eunuchs You can't move around easily, so where did the smallpox come from?
When the emperor found out the truth, he angrily went to the queen with the results and asked, "I'm not good enough to you? No matter what, you are my queen. As long as you don't do anything rebellious, then you will never They are all queens, the most noble people in the harem except the Queen Mother, so why did you bring smallpox into the harem?”
The queen did not expect that she would be exposed so quickly. She cried and laughed at times, "Your Majesty, I am just unwilling. Why was she able to give birth to a son? But the only one I gave birth to was a daughter. The only son she adopted was still a sickly child." His body cannot even survive to adulthood, so I am really unwilling to do so
I just wanted to teach the other party a lesson, so I brought smallpox in, but I only wanted to deal with them, mother and son, and never thought of dealing with the emperor, so this must be framed by someone, and I hope the emperor will be aware of it! ”
The queen deliberately put eye drops on the other party. Regardless of whether the other party did it or not, she had to make the emperor suspect that the other party did it. Once the seeds of doubt were planted, no matter what the other party did, the emperor would doubt the other party. This would be her final outcome. As a plan, even if she is about to be deposed, she will still pull the opponent back.
But after the emperor heard this, he just smiled and said, "Oh, Concubine Yi is not that kind of person. If she really hated me, she wouldn't have offered the alcohol as a sacrifice. If it wasn't for the alcohol, I would have built it long ago." The late emperor.
Queen, Queen, when things come to a close, you still don’t know how to repent. Come on, the Queen is disobedient and treasonous. She is deprived of her position as Queen..."
The queen immediately knelt on the ground and shouted piercingly, "Your Majesty, I and you are married. Even if there are all kinds of things wrong with me, is your husband a competent husband?
Your Majesty, even if you don't care about your past friendship, you still have to think about the eldest princess. If you have a mother like Chen Concubine, what will the princess do in the future? There is also the second prince. His body is so weak that he must be taken care of at all times. I also hope that the emperor will give me a chance. I promise that I will repent and will not target Concubine Yi..."
The emperor looked over coldly, but in the end he softened, "If I had known this, why bother? If I hadn't been lucky, I would have died long ago.
That's all, after all, we are a husband and wife, and I don't want to go too far. I strip off the position of queen and demote her to concubine Jing. From now on, the queen can spend the rest of her life peacefully in her own palace. This can be regarded as the last relationship between husband and wife. ”
