Only the son is happy and sad, long life infected with the fatal disease;
It was hard for him to bear the pain, and Rong'er's heart was filled with grief.
Rong'er had been blessed with the ability to take care of him personally for three months. This was a very happy occasion, but this was how the Heavens treated kind-hearted people. Sometimes, even when they were giving one another joy, their grief would quietly descend. Rong'er would never forget these days.
Rong'er and the wet nurse had coaxed him to sleep. Xiao Rong stood to the side, staring with her round eyes at the child in Rong'er's arms, not daring to speak. She was curious as to why this little brother in her mother's arms would always cry, and even frightened her to the point that she didn't dare to speak.
Rong'er had the wet nurse carry the child to bed. Perception.
”Mistress, today's palaces all feel a little strange.” Little Qing muttered softly.
Rong'er had been feeling uneasy these past few days. He asked softly, ”What's so strange about that?”
”It seems like the empress dowager's palace isn't letting people in. It looks like something happened in the empress dowager's palace.” Xiaoqing said hesitantly.
”Something happened?” Rong'er was shocked, ”What happened? Could it be that something has happened to Changsheng? ”
”This servant isn't sure either, but it seems like no one from the empress dowager's palace has come out yet.” Xiaoqing asked doubtfully.
Rong'er's heart trembled violently. Why did she have a bad premonition? Had something happened to Changsheng? Her nervous voice was also somewhat shaky. ”Little Qing, carefully inquire around. I just want to know if Longevity is alright …” Rong'er felt scared, but for no reason at all.
”Imperial Mother, how did this happen?” Xuan Ye softly asked the empress dowager sitting at the head of the empress dowager.
”I don't know either.” Her Majesty looked at the bed with a pained expression. ”Her longevity is up there, while Toya stands at the side, looking at it with a worried expression.” A palace maid has been sick for a few days, and everyone thought it was just ordinary high fever. Who would have thought it was smallpox? Her Majesty's eyes were red.
”Imperial Mother, don't worry too much. Pay attention to your body. From today onwards, don't come here to see Longevity again. Otherwise, you'll get infected too.” Although Xuan Ye was extremely worried, he still consoled the empress dowager in a soft voice.
Xuan Ye sighed and instructed, ”From today onwards, no one is allowed to enter or leave the Palace.”
”Your servant obeys the decree.” The court ladies of Shoukang were kneeling down nervously, afraid that they had caught the disease.
Xuan Ye then looked at the empress dowager and said softly, ”Imperial Mother, today you should move to the Palace for a period of time. Wait until the illness in the palace is gone before you come back.”
”But your majesty, I'm leaving. Who's going to take care of Longevity?” Her Majesty said worriedly.
Xuan Ye thought for a moment and said, ”How about this, I'll talk to my royal grandmother and ask her to take care of Longevity.”
”Your majesty!” Toya suddenly raised her head and said, ”Let this servant take care of the prince. Ever since the prince arrived at the Shoukang Palace, Toya has always taken care of the prince wholeheartedly. Toya is also worried for the prince, and asks for his permission.” As he spoke, he kowtowed.
”Toya, what if you get infected?” Her Majesty was very fond of Toya, and she spoke with concern.
Toya smiled and said softly, ”Toya is the daughter of a sinner, so she deserves to die. It's all thanks to the emperor, the empress dowager, and the empress dowager for letting Toya accompany the empress dowager as a sinner to thank the empress dowager, the empress dowager, and the empress dowager for everything. Toya isn't afraid of getting sick, and if she gets sick, it'll be to atone for Toya's father and brother's sins. I only ask the empress dowager and empress dowager to allow Toya to take care of the prince.” She kowtowed heavily.
”Toya, you are such a good child. All these years, This Dowager has not treated you well for nothing. Your Majesty, please accept it.” Her Majesty said bitterly.
She had the tall figure of a Mongolian girl, and her eyes were very round. She was a beautiful girl, and perhaps because of the changes in her background, she looked more mature than other girls of the same age. He had really forgotten about the existence of this girl. This girl who was supposed to be his concubine was now just a sinner Ku Nu. Fate was heavy on her as well, and Xuan Ye sighed softly, ”Alright, you take care of the prince. You just have to take care of him with all your heart.”
”This servant will definitely take good care of the prince.” Toya said while kowtowing.
From the empress dowager's palace. His eldest son, Cheng Rui, had died of smallpox, and now that longevity had also contracted this disease, Xuan Ye's heart ached painfully. In order to not let the empress dowager worry about his calmness, his heart had been thrown into chaos, and he knew that he had to let Rong'er know that even if he could not bear it, Rong'er, as his biological mother, had the right to know.
