Chapter 117 Taiyuan Hospital Order Lou Yuan

Zhu Qizhen returned to the harem, and the air pressure in Kunning Palace was already very low.

Countless eunuchs and maids held their breaths, fearing that the sound of breathing would alarm a certain nobleman in the palace. Maybe the nobleman who was really irritable would spill his anger on them. Even if they had nine lives, they would not be able to save it.

Zhu Qizhen walked like a wind, with striding strides, turning a blind eye to the eunuchs and maids beside him. He walked directly through many doors.

Come to the inner room.

In the inner room, Queen Mother Sun, Queen Qian, and several white-bearded imperial doctors were treating her.

As soon as Zhu Qizhen arrived, everyone below except the Queen Mother Sun saluted.

When Empress Dowager Sun saw Zhu Qizhen, she said vehemently: "Government, government, government, you only know the affairs of the foreign dynasty. You have never taken care of the affairs of the harem. Now you are just a single seedling. This is it now. You are the only one."

Come here if you know. Why don't you come back and be your sage monarch in the previous dynasty? Don't see what the harem is like."

When Zhu Qizhen heard the Queen Mother Sun scold him, he knelt down on the ground without saying a word and said, "My child is unfilial, and my mother is worried."

Zhu Qizhen has become accustomed to the rules of this era.

You are used to others kneeling to you, or you kneeling to others. Kneeling is just a courtesy.

Empress Dowager Sun's words were insinuations. She was talking openly about Zhu Qizhen, and it stands to reason that Queen Qian had not fulfilled her duties. But in this conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, how could Zhu Qizhen speak? She could only pretend not to know, and bow her head to admit her mistake to the queen mother.

Empress Dowager Sun was soft-hearted. After all, he was her own son, the king of a country, and quite prestigious to the outside world. Now that there was an imperial doctor present, how could he be allowed to kneel all the time.

"Come on, come on, get up." Queen Mother Sun said.

"Thank you, Queen Mother." After Zhu Qizhen said this, he stood up and said, "Queen Mother, how is Jian Jun's condition?"

Empress Dowager Sun said: "Amitabha, the famous doctor you invited from Jiangnan is indeed a capable person. Jian Jun's illness has stabilized. He only needs a few days of rest and he will be much better. You must thank him well."

"I don't dare to praise the Queen Mother like this." Lou Yuan immediately saluted and said.

Zhu Qizhen immediately took a few steps forward and came to the bed.

But he saw Zhu Jianjun lying in the soft quilt, like an exquisite doll. He was extremely cute, but his little brows were furrowed, and he didn't seem to be sleeping very peacefully.

Zhu Qizhen gently probed Zhu Jianjun's forehead with his hand, and then touched his own forehead. He felt that the temperature was normal. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Wan'er is here to watch the child. Let's go out, mother. Don't interfere.

He rests."

Queen Mother Sun said: "I won't go out, so I will just watch here. If you are impatient, just go out by yourself."

Zhu Qizhen thought for a while and then retreated with Lou Yuan. It's not that Zhu Qizhen didn't care about Zhu Jianjun, but Zhu Qizhen was used to thinking rationally. With so many people gathered in the inner room, he couldn't bring up the child.

It's good. I'm afraid it will also hinder the air circulation.

In addition, Zhu Qizhen also wanted to talk to the imperial physician about Zhu Jianjun's condition.

In a small pavilion in Kunning Palace.

Zhu Qizhen and Lou Yuan sat opposite each other.

Zhu Qizhen said: "So, my son's illness is not serious?"

Lou Yuan said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the prince's illness is just an ordinary childhood disease. It may have been delayed in ordinary people's homes. Now you only need to take medicine on time, and you will be cured in less than ten days."

Children's diseases come and go quickly. As long as the right medicine is prescribed, recovery will be quick.

Zhu Qizhen said: "This makes me feel relieved."

Lou Yuan suddenly thought of something and wanted to speak, but hesitated.

Zhu Qizhen immediately said: "Sir, please speak."

Lou Yuan said: "As I said, I will practice medicine next year. I have not treated a thousand children in Jiangnan, but I have also treated eight hundred. I still know how a four-year-old child is in shape. The prince is better than him For an ordinary child, he is really too thin."

Zhu Qizhen frowned slightly. He had also seen the children of later generations. Compared with the children of later generations, Zhu Jianjun was a little thinner.

Zhu Qizhen may have thought that children in later generations would be better nourished than children in this era, so he didn't care.

But now it sounds like that’s not the case at all?

"Why is this?" Zhu Qizhen said with doubts: "My prince, it can be said that he has no shortage of clothes and food. How could this happen?"

Lou Yuan frowned slightly, gently twirled his beard with his fingers, and said: "Wei Chen is also a little strange. I have read the prince's recipe. It's nothing serious. It's listed by famous people in the North. Even if you can't maintain a good body, you will never eat it." As for harmful."

Zhu Qizhen's heart tightened slightly.

Suddenly it occurred to me that it could be a conspiracy in the harem.

He immediately ruled out this possibility.

After getting married, Zhu Qizhen took in several concubines and maidens, but Zhu Qizhen did not want chaos in the harem. Therefore, all the power in the palace was in the hands of Queen Qian.

Because of this, Empress Qian was no longer welcome by Empress Dowager Sun.

The Empress Dowager Sun thought that she would be able to control the power after the Empress Dowager left, but she did not want to have another Qian Queen. This made the Empress Dowager feel unhappy.

Therefore, there is no concubine in the harem who can compete with the queen for favor.

Under such circumstances, if Empress Qian could not protect her son, it can only be said that Empress Qian wasted the teachings of the Empress Dowager.

However, even though Zhu Qizhen felt that there was a high probability that there would be no problem in this regard, Zhu Qizhen was still a little worried. He was going to have someone check out those beauties in bed.

If someone is really secretly plotting to kill the emperor's heir, I'm afraid there will be a few more lustful ghosts in the harem. Zhu Qizhen is not here to accompany some people in the story of Zhen Huan. He has no intention of spending too much time on this aspect.

Anyway, for Zhu Qizhen, there are always as many beauties as you want.

An idea flashed in Zhu Qizhen's mind. He seemed to have remembered something. He stood up and walked slowly. It seemed that someone in later generations was studying the reasons for the death of successive princes.

Zhu Qizhen's eyes wandered aimlessly, and suddenly he stared at a red wall in the distance, as if asking Lou Yuan, or asking himself: "What is this red wall and what kind of paint is used?"

Lou Yuan said: "Weichen doesn't know the detailed recipe, but I think it must be made with cinnabar."

Cinnabar was the most commonly used red pigment in ancient times.

But Zhu Qizhen knew that this cinnabar was mercury sulfide. As for mercury, he also knew that it was highly poisonous.

In an instant, Zhu Qizhen also remembered the vague impression in his mind. Mercury poisoning was the root cause of many emperors' illnesses.

At this moment, Zhu Qizhen looked at the red wall and gold tiles. He even wanted to change the color of the red wall.

But Zhu Qizhen soon learned that this was actually not up to him. The entire Forbidden City cost at least a few million taels, and it was simply a solidified rule of etiquette.

If Zhu Qizhen wants to make too many changes and change the decoration style of the entire palace, he will encounter a lot of political resistance.

Zhu Qizhen thought for a while and said: "The palace is so overcrowded that it is not conducive to the child's recovery. Sir, how about I build a palace on the shore of Sanhaizi for the emperor's child to recover from illness?"

Lou Yuan said: "Water is good for nourishing people."

Zhu Qizhen said: "In that case, please pass on the order to rebuild the Tuancheng Palace for the prince to live in."

Zhu Qizhen could only put aside the issue of the palace for now. He took his family away from the palace first. As for the architectural style of Tuancheng, most of them were stone structures, but the style was different from that of the Forbidden City.

Regardless of whether Zhu Qizhen's guess is correct or not, no matter how careful he is about matters related to his own life, Zhu Qizhen cannot pay too much attention.

Lou Yuan still doesn't know that he has been targeted by Zhu Qizhen. From now on, the emperor will leave the palace and live apart. All these incidents will be blamed on Lou Yuan.

Zhu Qizhen said: "I never had time before, but now I have time. I just want to talk to my husband about what the epidemic situation in Ningbo is like."

Lou Yuan said: "I obey the order." Then Lou Yuan explained the situation of that day in detail.

After Zhu Qizhen heard this, he said: "In other words, the plague has never been eradicated. The Ningbo plague has just survived. Maybe it will recur when?"

Lou Yuan said: "The humble minister is incompetent." When Lou Yuan said this, he acquiesced.
