"Your Majesty, there's news from the Imperial Clan Court that the criminal Bei wants to see you."
"not see"
Bei Lingyao didn't want to see Bei Hongjiao, and there was nothing good to see.
She was a little curious about the medicine that Prince Fu gave Bei Hongjiao, but she was not stupid enough to take the risk.
Now Bei Hongjiao was being bullied by Prince Fu's wives and concubines in the clan house, but he was reluctant to use the medicine on Prince Fu's wives and concubines. Instead, he was thinking about her all the time.
Bei Lingyao wanted to see how long Bei Hongjiao could endure.
"Yao'er"
Emperor Shengwu came excitedly.
Bei Lingyao stood up and bowed to him, "Your Majesty."
"Yao'er, there's no need to be so polite. Cowpox has successfully cured smallpox."
Emperor Shengwu was very pleased and picked up Bei Lingyao and spun around happily.
"Then vaccinate me first. Yao'er is still young, so wait until he's one year old before you vaccinate him."
Emperor Shengwu also agreed that although the success rate of treating smallpox with cowpox was high, there were also examples of failure.
Emperor Shengwu is worried because his son is too young.
He was also unwilling to let Bei Lingyao get vaccinated now.
"We will start by implementing it in the capital, and let all officials take the lead in vaccination."
Since it concerns the lives of his family of three, Emperor Shengwu always has to be cautious.
There are three of them in the family, and none of them can be missing.
Bei Lingyao was willing to take the lead, but Emperor Shengwu refused to let her take any risks.
Although he found a death row prisoner in the cell and the success rate of the experiment was very high, he could not afford the possibility of losing.
Bei Lingyao did not insist any longer. After she became the queen and took over the phoenix seal, she began to reorganize the harem.
It just so happened that all the concubines had left the palace. Some of the late emperor's concubines chose to practice cultivation, while others chose to go to Changchun Garden.
As for those in the cold palace, they had no choice but to be sent to practice.
Apart from Bei Lingyao, the only one left in the harem was the Empress Dowager of Shou'an Palace.
The palace maids who served the concubines were also sent out.
So the harem is now empty, and Emperor Shengwu took the opportunity to replace it with a group of people he had trained long ago.
The Queen Mother had always wanted to have someone bring smallpox into the palace, but she could never find an opportunity.
"Empress Dowager"
In Shou'an Palace, palace maids hurried in.
"Why are you so panicked?"
The Queen Mother sat up, and the scarf on her head slipped down. She held the scarf tightly and stared at the palace maids, afraid of receiving bad news.
It's no wonder that she is so nervous now. Most of the people from the previous dynasty and the palace have been eliminated.
A tiger with its teeth pulled out and its nails clipped will have little killing power.
"Empress Dowager, the Emperor proposed a smallpox cure in court. Our plan is out of the question."
Snap!
The Queen Mother threw the handkerchief in her hand directly onto the coffee table beside the bed, and the kettle and porcelain cups fell to the ground and shattered.
"Empress Dowager, what should we do?"
"Give me my Buddhist beads."
The empress dowager was uneasy, feeling that nothing had gone her way in the past year or two. It was clear that Emperor Shengwu had more weaknesses than before, making him easier to attack, but she didn't know where to start.
It's really infuriating.
The Buddhist beads were handed to the Queen Mother, who turned them quickly, closed her eyes and meditated without saying a word.
The palace maid did not leave. She asked someone to come in and clean up the debris, and then she stood by with her head bowed, waiting for the empress dowager's instructions.
After a long time, the empress dowager opened her eyes and waved away the palace maids.
Looking at a place on the roof, he said:
"Qiyi, Qiwu, have you sent back any news?"
A gray figure walked out from the darkness and said, "Your Majesty, there is no news about Qi Wu yet. I have already sent people to investigate."
The Queen Mother frowned. She knew Qiwu's strength. Could it be that the Emperor had discovered him?
Or did Qiwu betray her?
Thinking of this, a murderous look flashed across the Queen Mother's eyes.
The late emperor gave the Qilin Guard to the empress dowager in the hope that she would protect Prince Fu, but the empress dowager turned the Qilin Guard into her own private guard, making the Qilin Guard obey only her orders. It must be said that the empress dowager is a capable person.
"Qi~yi"
The Queen Mother's voice softened, with a hint of vulnerability.
"Empress"
Qiyi wore a mask on his face and looked at the empress dowager with concern.
"Will you betray me?"
The empress dowager felt a little uneasy. Over the years, she relied on the Qilin Guards and ministers left by the previous emperor to keep up with the emperor in the fight.
However, we have suffered heavy losses in the past two years. Apart from the Qilin Guard, the only people left by the late emperor are the mighty generals in the southwest.
But she had no contact with Wu Chengqi for so many years, and she didn't know whether Wu Chengqi had changed his mind.
However, the Queen Mother thought of Prince Fu and became confident again.
She also didn't know whether Prince Fu was Wu Chengqi's son or the late emperor's.
But she has the right to interpret everything. She says Prince Fu belongs to whoever he is the son of.
In the Queen Mother's opinion, Prince Fu looked more like her, not like the late emperor or Wu Chengqi.
It is obvious that both the late emperor and Wu Chengqi were tall and handsome men who were both talented in both civil and military affairs.
But Prince Fu was neither good at literature nor martial arts, and his only strength was painting.
This made the Queen Mother somewhat discouraged.
Thinking of the emperor's biological mother, whom she looked down upon, a white beauty and the daughter of a merchant, who was full of the smell of money.
If the late emperor had not needed money, he would not have taken a merchant's daughter into his harem.
However, the daughter of a merchant, who was looked down upon by all the concubines of the late emperor, gave birth to a son who became emperor and was posthumously named the late emperor's empress.
When the Queen Mother thought that all this was due to her, she felt so upset that she vomited blood.
It would have been better if we hadn’t taken the emperor out of the cold palace.
But when I think about how the emperor did his best to regain her favor when he was young, I can't help but feel sad.
After she regained favor, the late emperor told her that it was to protect her.
