I was reborn by the emperor

Chapter 96

The white catkins fluttered all over the sky, in clusters, with nowhere to fall, and a thick layer had accumulated on the leeward corner of the dry palace. A little maid took a broom to clean it, and only then waved it, and the catkins flew away. , Drilling straight into the nose and throat of a person.

The little palace lady was so anxious that she couldn't sweep it up, she stomped her feet vigorously to vent her emotions, her eyes caught sight of the pair of eunuchs coming out, she retreated reflexively, and quickly covered her mouth and nose with her sleeve, even though she was very far away, when She still wants to go as far away as possible.

Not far away, a person who has just passed away tightly wrapped in a white cloth is lying on a single frame made of simple bamboo strips, and placed on the bluestone road. His face was covered with pustules under the white cloth.

The faces of the eunuchs and guards who were carrying were obviously numb, their mouths and noses were wrapped with silk handkerchiefs, and the corpses that were still warm were like moving livestock, and they were thrown in a pile with force. Pulled out in a carriage, cremated, and the mortal body, it became ashes that dispersed after a few blows.

The team transporting the corpses was blocked in front of the Xuanwu Gate, and it was difficult to stop the fights and disputes. In the face of life and death, everyone was in danger.

However, in just a few days, the epidemic spread much faster than anyone imagined.

Symptoms started from Ningshou Palace, and spread in a circle. The epidemic was fierce. Apart from the maids and eunuchs, the most affected ones were the tall, strong and strong guards.

The Tai Hospital couldn't determine the cause, so it couldn't prescribe a prescription. It was diagnosed as smallpox, but the symptoms were far more dangerous than smallpox.

The West Chamber Pavilion of Ningshou Palace was lit up with earth dragons again in such weather, the prince was trembling in a coma, and the originally soft and greasy flesh was almost filled with pustules.

The prince was still subconsciously shouting: "Father, father."

The child's childish voice was crisp and clear, his lips were chapped due to the high fever for days, his longing for his father seemed to grab hold of the straw, and only by grabbing his father's skirt could his fear subside.

The virtuous concubine was sobbing and crying that she couldn't stand up anymore. She slumped on the ground, unable to get up and didn't dare to rest. She was afraid that if she left, she wouldn't even be able to see the child's last side. The imperial doctor knelt all over the room. Shaking his head, there was nothing he could do, the prince's life was hanging by a thread, and he was hanging on for a few breaths completely by the soup.

Lu Jieming took Lu Zheng from the nanny's arms, untied his coat, and hugged him. The patterns and patterns embroidered with gold thread on the coat would always hurt the pustules on his face. Lu Zheng's face was close to his softest underwear, and he took the silk handkerchief soaked by the maidservant and gently placed it on Lu Zheng's forehead.

"Zheng'er, father is here, you are a little man, you have to be stronger."

The concubine covered her mouth with a handkerchief so she didn't dare to cry, Lu Zheng had been quiet in Lu Jieming's arms all night, but when the sky was bright, she developed a high fever again, and Lu Jieming also didn't sleep a night.

A group of humerus ministers were kneeling outside the hall, begging His Majesty to put the overall situation first. The prince is important, but His Majesty must not have close contact with him. If His Majesty gets sick, the world of Great Yan will be lost.

What they said was full of tears, and with that look, he just wanted to drag Lu Jieming out of Ningshou Palace.

One by one even said bluntly that they wished to suffer this pain for the First Prince.

But when Lu Jieming really came in front of them and approached them step by step, how many of them didn't try to dodge a little bit, or took advantage of the effort of lowering their heads to pull up the veil pull.

Lu Jieming was too lazy to play the role of a virtuous monarch and sage lord with them, so he strode towards the Hall of Supreme Harmony. The ministers of the Hall of Supreme Harmony quickly gave way. He walked all the way, and the ministers knelt all the way until he sat down. After getting on the dragon chair, let them stand up.

He didn't want to entangle them too much, so he told them to report quickly and end the morning court in a cold voice.

The ministers in the DPRK reported their duties one by one, and kept opening and closing their mouths hidden under the veil. He listened to each one and dealt with them one by one, his sharp back straightened.

When the debriefing was over, he bent his long legs, squinted his phoenix eyes, looked at the courtiers standing at the forefront, pointed to one of them and asked, "Is there any change in the frontier?"

The official has a high nose and deep eyes, half of which is of foreign blood, but he grew up in Kyoto, and has always been in touch with the eyeliner who stayed in the border area.

He took a step forward, his beard swaying under the veil, and when he spoke loudly, "The foreign race has been restless and rebellious all these years, but recently they suddenly restrained themselves, and even the army they had been supporting has been disbanded."

"Your Majesty suspects that the outbreak of the epidemic here is related to them?"

Lu Jieming flashed a thin smile, the corners of his eyes extended a bit, and the thin folds of his double eyelids formed a small fork at the end of his eyes, which made him even more indifferent. It is tired, but the eyes are still strong, "If something goes wrong, there must be a demon. Keep staring."

The elders of the court were about to talk about this matter, but they were blocked by his words. Their emperor is really extraordinary, he only listens to questions about everything, and he looks like this about big things. Pay attention and make your own decisions.

Then he decides for himself what to do with these old officials. He thought it was a child who was too arrogant.

But in the past six years, there has been no omission in decision-making.

There is already a delicate restrictive relationship between the emperor and his ministers. The emperor controls the ministers, and the ministers restrain the emperor, but in front of this person, this restrictive relationship is a little out of balance.

Even if it's a sudden outbreak of the epidemic, he has dealt with all kinds of domestic affairs. The monarch is too wise, and they, the courtiers, are really at a loss.

I don't know how long this relationship will last. When the originally balanced balance is too tilted towards one side, something will happen sooner or later.

They slandered in their hearts and secretly applauded their foresight, but in fact Lu Jieming didn't want to deal with these old bones long ago.

If the balance is crooked, it won't be crooked for a few years. Instead of wasting time talking nonsense with them, it's better for him to deal with it directly, which saves time.Anyway, they were arguing in the hall, but they couldn't come up with a good solution, so he made the decision in the end.

When they were in the worst state a few years ago, they couldn't even listen to their work reports, let alone watch a group of old men spitting at each other like they were arguing.

Standing like this for a whole morning, until the eunuch next to Lu Jieming shouted down, many so-called aristocrats didn't even intervene.

Everyone chased their heads in frustration, and when they were about to leave, they saw a little Taoist priest running in wearing Taoist robes. The clothes were the clothes of Qin Tianjian.

Qin Tianjian also has official uniforms, but in order to flaunt the "messenger of the gods and Buddhas in the sky", they always wear Taoist robes in their own territory.

"Your Majesty! This catastrophe is the sin of the gods and Buddhas! The people close to your majesty go against the sky, and the gods and Buddhas will sin on the prince. Your Majesty, please protect the country and eradicate the sins."

Everyone was in an uproar, and looked at the person who had left the dragon chair in the high position. Lu Jieming turned around, his long and narrow peach eyes cast a sharp and thin arc, and he turned his head suddenly, "Say it again."

With a half-smile, he brushed off his sleeves almost coquettishly. He walked down the four or five steps with his hands behind his back, and came to the man, "Wang Xi pretends not to be in the Qin Tian Prison, and then you are going to make trouble?"

His tone was relaxed, and there was even a bit of intimacy mixed in with the little bend in the ending sound. He stretched his finger on the man's chin and gained some strength, "Come on, raise your head, and show me your appearance... I remember it well."

There was a "click", that was the sound of the neck being twisted.

The man was killed on the spot, right above the Jinluan Hall, right under the plaque that says "upright and bright".

"I will remember every unjust soul who died under my hands," he looked at all the courtiers with disdain, "so, if you have revenge for your injustice, if you have revenge for your revenge, come to me, and I will wait for you."

The courtiers knelt down in a group, every head under the Wusha hat was trembling.

Lu Jieming took the handkerchief handed over by the eunuch and wiped his fingers, "I said before, whoever dares to send attention to my Qianqing Palace will go to hell."

The Qianqing Palace in his mouth no longer refers to this location, but to the person inside.

Everyone present knew it.

It has already been spread throughout the imperial court that there is a woman living in the Qianqing Palace, and His Majesty loves her so much that she lingers every night and never goes to the harem again.

At first it was said that it was Hu Meizi who bewitched the Sacred Heart, and the memorials were all admonishing the emperor not to be deceived by the beauty. At that time, Lu Jieming could laugh it off when he saw it. It's a pity that now he even has to find a reason to touch that "humeizi"'s finger, and has to pretend to be his younger brother.

Later, the rumors became more and more serious, and they even dug up Master Qingyuan's place.He has already ordered to stop it once, but now it seems that blood must be seen.

"Now, are you satisfied?" He shrugged helplessly, his ruthless methods were in stark contrast to his handsome and elegant face, "You guys are so free, why don't you go to the Tai Hospital to test the medicine, the Tai Hospital can't open it. When the prescription comes, you stay with me, once the prescription comes out, you all taste it first, if you can’t die, then bring it to me.”

"I'll say it again, whoever touches the Qianqing Palace will go to hell."

After Lu Jieming said all this with a smile, some officials were already fighting and fell down. The past two years have been so peaceful that they almost forgot what this living hell king used to be like.

Lu Jieming still went back to Ningshou Palace, the court was endless, and Ningshou Palace also broke out.

Zheng'er's body temperature remains high, and he used to talk in his sleep, but now he can't even talk in his sleep. He opened his clothes, and there are pimples on his back and belly.

Concubine Xian hugged the child and yelled, but Lu Jieming heard it clearly before entering the hall.

He was about to step in when he saw Prince Rong waiting in the gazebo of Ningshou Palace with his sleeves on. Prince Rong saluted him with a smile on the corner of his mouth but the meaning was unclear.

Prince Rong didn't want to stay in the fief. At this time, when he was running for a kilometer, Lu Jieming raised his eyebrows and thought, it's getting more and more interesting.

He turned around and walked towards the gazebo, but when he turned his head, he said to the monitor beside him, "Call Concubine Shu over."

……

The imperial doctor couldn't stop the concubine Xian, and while tugging, he tore off the sleeves of the concubine Xian. Seeing the small red rash on her body, the rash was not serious at the beginning, the imperial doctor took a look and knelt down in a panic, "Ma'am Forgive me, I am incompetent!"

The virtuous concubine gasped for breath, vigorously scratched the rash on her hands, and shouted, "It's because of your incompetence, it's because of evil spirits, and it's God's punishment."

She shouted like this, as if she suddenly thought of something, the veins on her neck bulged, and she ran out all the way with the child in her arms, the potential in her body was stimulated without limit, so many palace people couldn't stop her.

She yelled and stumbled along the way, and the direction was Qianqing Palace.

"Both our mothers are going to die. Why should I live that sin? It was all done by her, and it was all cursed by her. I will die with her, and I will die with her."
