Chapter 395 Different

Shen Chuliu didn't know, and of course didn't care what she thought.

What Shen Baolin did was not worth her concern.

She helped out only because she didn't want people to think she was too cold and heartless, and also because they were all members of the Shen family. It would not look good if Shen Baolin was tortured to death by his subordinates.

But she had no other thoughts, and she didn't want to use this as an excuse to insult Shen Baolin. There was no need.

Shen Chuliu was more concerned about herself and her children. Right now the palace was distributing things needed for the winter, and she had to keep an eye on the servants and ask them to make arrangements for Ruiqing Palace.

After all, this is the first time that the Sixth Prince has spent the winter in Ruiqing Palace.

I was afraid that he would be cold and unsafe.

"Master, in the imperial garden, Ning Zhaorong and Yan Jieyu are confronting each other." Yuanxiao came in and said.

"Tsk, this is really an enmity. The emperor is gone?" Shen Chuliu laughed.

"Not yet, but it will be here soon. Master, would you like to go and take a look?" Yuanxiao asked.

"No, how could I know about such things? Just go and watch." Shen Chuliu laughed.

Yuanxiao agreed to go.

In just half an hour, Yuan Xiao came back and said with a smile, "The emperor didn't show up, he just asked someone to take Concubine Yan to Taiji Palace."

"Tsk, this is another slap in Ning Zhaorong's face. She has just recovered from her illness." Shen Chuliu said with a smile.

"Yes, now Empress Ning Zhaorong is having a hard time with Concubine Yan." Yuan Xiao said with a smile.

"It's normal. They are enemies now. But Yan Jieyu is also a powerful person. She doesn't show off, but she can make Ning Zhaorong so anxious." Speaking of which, Ning Zhaorong dislikes Yan Jieyu, so doesn't Yan Jieyu also dislike Ning Zhaorong?

The master and servant were still chatting, when suddenly Yin Hu came in and said, "Master, Master Lu has passed away."

"When did it happen?" Shen Chuliu was surprised.

"It's about what happened this morning. It's just been reported. The emperor has already sent people to the Lu family." Yinhu said.

Shen Chuliu nodded: "Logically speaking, I don't have to worry about these external matters. However, now that Tutor Lu is gone, it's time for Lu Baolin to be promoted." It hasn't been easy for Lu Baolin over the years.

The eunuchs and palace maids all nodded.

Sure enough, the next day, Qi Yixiu issued an edict to raise Lu Baolin's rank to Beauty.

And asked her to move to Yunyan Pavilion.

Yunyan Pavilion, that was where Meng Xiaoyi lived before her death.

However, Qingning Pavilion where Lu has lived in the past few years is very close to the zoo and is a place with unpleasant odors.

I don't know which of the two is worse, but it is enough to show that the emperor dislikes her.

It was a good thing that Lu Baolin was promoted to Lady Lu, but soon after, the emperor issued another decree, saying that there was already Lady Lu in the palace, and it would be difficult to name another Lady Lu. So he gave Lady Lu a title: Yi.

And they praised her for being a good family man and having a respectful temperament.

This made Concubine Lu embarrassed, because she had just been promoted to a higher position, but was given the title of Lu.

When she paid her respects to Fengzao Palace, she was naturally laughed at, but what she was best at was pretending to be pitiful and patient.

She was already a beauty, and if she climbed up the social ladder further, it would be natural for her to raise a prince.

Although the prince has grown up, he is still different.

Empress Dowager Feng has been taking care of the Fifth Prince for many years, and now she is also taking care of Concubine Lu.

It was almost winter when a disease suddenly broke out in the imperial city. From a modern perspective, it was influenza.

But at this time, it's like a small plague.

It actually started in the palace.

The eunuchs serving in the Beigong Garden began to fall ill. The disease was not fatal immediately, but it was very severe and could not be cured, and gradually killed people.

At first, no one noticed that someone fell ill in this remote Beigong Garden.

They themselves dare not say that once they can no longer work, they will be sent out soon.

That would be a disaster.

After enduring this for a long time, at the end of September, the first eunuch died of illness.

At the same time, many people in the palace were already sick, mostly eunuchs and palace maids.

When the situation developed to Ruiqing Palace, the third princess Qi Wan was the first to fall ill.

Next came the eldest princess and the sixth prince.

When Shen Chuliu first heard it, she was so scared that she took the child back at all costs.

Doctor Zhao was also very frightened when he was urgently called in. The disease has now become serious and is showing signs of spreading rapidly.

The Sixth Prince's body was burning hot and he was groaning in discomfort.

After taking the patient's pulse, Doctor Zhao heaved a sigh of relief: "It's nothing, it's nothing. This is just a common cold. The evil wind has entered the body and covered it with hot sweat. It's okay. The fever will go away."

"Our Sixth Prince is in good health. Although he was injured in the battle at the beginning of the year, he has recovered very well and has no sequelae."

Shen Chuliu smiled.

Doctor Zhao then realized that he was used to talking to his grandson at home, and he habitually referred to him as the Sixth Prince.

"I have spoken out of turn."

"It's okay. I feel relieved if it's okay." Shen Chuliu said.

"Don't worry, madam. It's not that disease. I'll prescribe you a dose of Guizhi decoction. Then you can sweat and eat something warm. You can drink some ginger soup at any time. But don't eat too much. You must eat light food and not hard food, otherwise it will be difficult to digest."

"Okay." Shen Chuliu felt relieved after hearing that.

Doctor Zhao is actually a straightforward person. If he says that everything is fine, then it is probably fine.

"Are the two princesses real?"

"Your Majesty, yes, it is not a very serious disease, and the infection is much less serious than that of ordinary war. The Imperial Medical Bureau has already started to prescribe medicine, and it should be cured."

Shen Chuliu was even less afraid when he heard this. He was just afraid that there was no medicine to cure it. Now that there was, it wouldn't be a problem.

She felt relieved, sent Doctor Zhao away, and started to arrange food and drink for the child.

Sure enough, by nightfall, the Sixth Prince's fever had subsided.

During this period, he came once on the fourth day of the first lunar month and once on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, both times the emperor asked him to come and see.

The emperor usually wouldn't come at such times. It's not that he was heartless, but as an emperor, his health was the most important thing.

Even if he wanted to come, there would be countless people kneeling down to beg him not to take the risk.

However, the emperor felt more relieved knowing that the Sixth Prince was not a conscript.

Everyone thought that although this wave of diseases was contagious, it was not serious, but something happened in the palace.

The third princess is no longer possible.

The third princess was only a few months older than the sixth prince, and her illness was very severe. The eldest princess, who had fallen ill at the same time as her, had already recovered. As for the sixth prince, he was full of energy the next day, and he was already fully recovered in just seven or eight days. It was just that Shen Chuliu would not let him return to Ruiqing Palace.

But on the ninth day of October, the third princess could no longer hold on.

Because it was an epidemic, concubines were not allowed to visit. Concubine Ying was guarding outside Ruiqing Palace. A quarter after noon, the bad news came.

The third princess died young.

Concubine Ying fainted at that moment.

No matter how much you plan, he is your own child after all. The grief of losing a six-year-old child is unspeakable.

Because I changed the last two chapters in reverse order, now the content is correct, but the chapter names are wrong, and the editor is asleep and can't change it. I'll leave it like this for now. It won't delay your reading.
