The Empress is ill, and it is said that it is a corpse note.
I don't know what a corpse note is? Have you heard of tuberculosis? It's the kind of tuberculosis. I coughed at the beginning, then coughed up blood at the end, and it was too late when I coughed up blood.
Tuberculosis is an incurable disease in Daxi. If it cannot be cured, it can only be maintained. Moreover, there is something wrong with this disease, that is, it will be extraordinary.
There are many medical books that have comments on tuberculosis, 'Lung tuberculosis heat, damages the lungs and produces worms... If lungworms are born, they become diseases in the lungs', 'It can kill the worms, although the sick people do not live, it can also prevent them from spreading scabies'. The medical explanation of tuberculosis at this time was that there were worms in the lungs, and this kind of worm was contagious. There have been cases of people suffering from tuberculosis giving the whole family to the whole family.
Therefore, when a doctor diagnoses this disease, he or she will isolate the patient. Of course, there is absolutely no such thing as smallpox or leprosy in this disease, so it belongs to a slow cycle, but it is also an extremely easy disease. When the sick person dies, they cannot be buried, but can only be burned.
After the imperial doctor visited and confirmed that it was tuberculosis, the Fengqi Palace was closed on the same day.
When the news reached the Yasukuni Duke's mansion, the people in the mansion became stupid on the spot, not to mention the current Chengenbo family of the queen's parents.
Mrs. Cheng Enbo wanted to go to the palace to see her daughter, but Cheng Enbo originally asked her to go. After the car was set up, he pulled her back.
"What are you doing? I'm going to see my daughter!" Mrs. Cheng Enbo looked excited and waved Cheng Enbo's hand.
"Think about it first, don't be impulsive."
"What are you thinking, my daughter is sick, and I can't see it as a mother?"
"You went, of course you went, but after you went, can't you come back? Do you know that you are so sick?! Is it possible to involve all this family?!"
Mrs. Cheng'en's eyes were split, and she turned around and beat her husband, "You, a father, also despise your own daughter, don't forget how you came here! Without your daughter, you are nothing... all It's your Xiao family, it's all your Xiao family who harmed others and forced my daughter to marry the fifth prince. If she had married my mother's nephew, my daughter would not be so miserable..."
Cheng Enbo was embarrassed to resist, and he was really annoyed and waved her away with his hands.
"What, your Xiao family, you are not the daughter-in-law of the Xiao family? Your son's daughter is not named Xiao? It's still useful to say this now!"
Mrs. Cheng Enbo fell to the side, crying heartbroken.
"My poor daughter... My Qianqian..."
"My daughter is not feeling well as a father, don't worry, I will go back to my home and ask if there is anything I can do, or find an imperial doctor and ask how to go in to see people without getting sick, that's all. Arrangements are needed, and there is also a need to find a doctor with excellent medical skills for my daughter..."
"Okay, okay, then you go." Mrs. Cheng Enbo wiped away her tears and said as if she had caught a life-saving straw.
***
The Xiao family responded quickly, and after a day, they found a doctor with quite good medical skills, and asked Mrs. Cheng Enbo to take him into the palace.
According to the rules, this is unreasonable, but Mrs. Cheng Enbo cried so hard that she couldn't cry, she looked like she was going to die or live. Someone reported it, and Emperor Jing didn't say anything else.
The noble and magnificent Fengqi Palace, which represents the majesty of the mother in the world, looks a little desolate in the autumn wind in September. There is a team of guards standing at the gate of the palace, and the gate of the palace is closed, as if it is not the queen who lives there, but a man. prisoner.
But at this time, Mrs. Cheng Enbo didn't dare to complain. Knowing the harm of tuberculosis, what she had left at this moment was only sincerity and fear and a last bit of hope. Maybe her daughter was not sick, but it was just a misdiagnosis by the imperial doctor, or someone deliberately framed it. .
The idea of misdiagnosis is not very practical. There are many doctors with the best medical skills in Quan Daxi in the Taiyuan Hospital. One misdiagnosis cannot be misdiagnosed all. Most of the imperial physicians in the Queen's Imperial Hospital have seen it, and it is impossible for all of them to be quack doctors.
Mrs. Cheng'en's only hope now is that someone deliberately framed her daughter, which is why she pretended to be crazy and brought a doctor into the palace, including the Xiao family.
After entering Fengqi Palace, I saw several palace attendants standing outside the gate of the palace. These palace servants were in a sullen mood, their expressions were like mourning examinations, and their vitality was gone. They all knew what illness the empress had, and they also knew why the palace was sealed. In the past few days, people have been crying every night. Even if the lives of the palace people are worthless, everyone is afraid of death. But no matter how scary it is to die, the empress is suffering from such a disease, and the servants around them can only admit that they are unlucky.
Cai Lian greeted her with a stiff face, "Please say hello to Madam, Empress is in the dormitory."
Mrs. Cheng Enbo nodded, but did not follow Cai Lian immediately, but took out a thick cotton cloth handkerchief from her arms, folded it in half in a triangle shape, and tied it under her nose, covering the entire mouth and nose. . That old doctor did the same thing.
The faces of the palace people on the side were a little weird, but they didn't say anything.
It was eerily quiet in Fengqi Palace, all the way to the inner bedroom. All the doors and windows in the hall were tightly closed, and only two palace lanterns were lit, which made the trance feel black and white as soon as he stepped in.
Seeing the person lying on the couch, Mrs. Cheng Enbo couldn't maintain her calm face any longer. She cried and wanted to rush over. The doctor on the side coughed, and she stopped. Just standing three steps away from the bed, choked to call the queen's boudoir name.
No one cares about her.
Cailian twitched the corners of her mouth, stepped forward, called out a few times, and helped the queen up from the quilt.
"Niangniang, Mrs. Chengenbo is here to see you."
The queen's eyelids moved and slowly opened her eyes. At first, there was a ray of surprise in his eyes, and after seeing the appearance of his mother, it turned into a mockery.
"What are you doing here?"
Mrs. Chengenbo didn't seem to notice her daughter's indifference, and sobbed softly, "My mother brought the doctor over to see a doctor. The family said that someone is trapping you, or it's your own to use it at ease."
After saying that, she motioned for the doctor to come forward to check the pulse, and the queen waved the doctor's hand away.
"... I don't need you to care about this palace. You never care about my life or death. What kind of hospitality are you showing me now... cough... cough..."
"Niang Niang, the imperial doctor said, you are not easy to get emotional."
"So what if I'm emotional... It's too late, it's already too late... Cough... You go, you don't have to come to see me, and I've been in Jingzhou for so long, so what kind of hospitality are you coming now..."
"Qianqian..."
"I'm afraid it's like this, what are you doing here? Go back quickly, so as not to be sick..."
Only then did Mrs. Cheng Enbo realize why her daughter reacted so much, shaking her hands to pull the cloth off her face, but withdrew her hand.
She cried bitterly: "It's not because of my mother that I dislike you, it's really not. At that time, I heard that you were ill, and my mother wanted to come to the palace to see you, but your father would not let you... Tuberculosis is extraordinary, we have asked many doctors. ... My mother can't either, there is such a big family at home, I can't..."
The queen was already in tears, she leaned against Cailian, her thin body was so thin that it was heart-pounding. After taking off the heavy empress's crown dress, she could see her current physical state. She was no longer the mellow Princess Jing of the past, as thin as a skeleton.
"You go, don't come... I know my own body, don't let Dad bother... "
"Can-"
"Cai Lian, Ben Gong is tired, send them out."
"Yes."
Cailian carefully put the queen into the quilt, turned to face Mrs. Cheng Enbo and made a gesture of invitation, and said in a low voice, "Ma'am, the empress' body can't stand the toss now, you all go first."
"Qianqian, let the doctor take a look, please, my daughter..." Mrs. Cheng Enbo covered her face and cried so hard.
An ethereal voice came from the bed, "Isn't it true that you won't give up if you don't watch?"
"flourishing-"
"Okay, let's show you... ahem... Cai Lian, let the doctor come over."
The doctor stepped forward and carefully supported the pulse on the thin wrist that was covered with the handkerchief. After a while, he turned to look at Mrs. Cheng Enbo and sighed.
Mrs. Cheng Enbo burst into tears.
"Go away, let them go, all go away..."
The queen on the couch struggled to smash the pillow down, and Cai Lian hurriedly helped Mrs. Cheng Enbo, who was limp from crying, to go out.
The queen was panting violently, staring at the empty bedroom in front of her with red eyes. After a long time, she collapsed on the couch.
It's still the same, isn't it
In the past few days, she has had enough of countless imperial doctors coming to see one by one, shaking her head and sighing, destroying the hope she finally raised again and again.
In fact, there were clues as early as in Jingzhou. At that time, when she coughed hard, some bloodshots would come out. Hu Liangyi once told her that she must calm down, think less, and take care of herself, otherwise she will be very difficult in the future. May become tuberculosis.
But-
How can you think less about it? How can it be
She can't do it, in this environment, with such a husband, and there are such an unsightly bitch and a few bitches in that bitch life, how can she think less and worry less
Now it's finally good, finally, you can stop thinking about anything...
Anyway, she's about to die, and it's useless to think about anything...
As for the Xiao family, they never took her seriously anyway. Without this queen, they probably wouldn't feel anything...
It's great that I can finally stop thinking about it.
***
The news that Mrs. Cheng Enbo brought back made the entire Xiao family silent.
Yasukuni's mansion was built on military merit, but it was not the current generation of Yasukuni, but the first generation of Yasukuni before. Back then, Duke Jing followed Taizu to conquer the world, and Taizu proclaimed himself emperor. Those who had meritorious deeds were awarded titles according to their merits. The first-generation head of the Xiao family was named Duke Jinguo.
The title of Daxi's different surname is not a hereditary replacement, but is cut off by five generations. Up to now, Yasukuni has passed down the fourth generation.
Before the change, the Xiao family didn't take this kind of thing to heart. They were the descendants of the prince's family. If you ask for any grace, maybe you will be given an iron coupon for the Danshu, and you will be replaced by a hereditary one. This is not a dream. If the prince ascends the throne, this situation will definitely happen. This is also the direction that the Xiao family has been working towards.
It is a pity that the prince died, and the prince's son was not selected as the successor. The one who could have produced an empress dowager was once again tricked by the late emperor before his death. Therefore, the current position of the empress is not as worthless to the Duke of Yasukuni as the empress herself thought.
How could it not be important? It's just that it's not the person that matters, but the position, the Xiao family and a queen.
This is a symbolic meaning, representing that the Xiao family is the descendant, and that the Xiao family has infinite possibilities.
But if there is no queen, is the Xiao family still the descendant? Are there infinite possibilities
It may not be obvious at this time, but in a few years, the Yasukuni Palace, which was cut down by the five generations, will gradually decline like other noble families in Beijing until it sinks into the long river of history and will never be remembered again.
A queen who suffers from a vicious disease is almost dead if she doesn't die, especially that kind of vicious disease.
The Xiao family will still have a future, will there be a way out? This question really needs to be thought about...
The author has something to say: ps: After checking some information, there were many aliases for tuberculosis in ancient times, and it was not called tuberculosis until the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
What kind of corpse note, insect note, corpse and other messy names were used before. At that time, people interpreted tuberculosis as worms in the lungs, or ghosts sweating. They were too imaginative, but the medical level in ancient times was not high, which was normal. With leprosy, smallpox, etc., the ancients changed their minds, but it was not as contagious as leprosy and smallpox.
⊙﹏⊙Khan, as for the need to be cremated after death as mentioned in this chapter, that is all fabricated, but after reading some materials, there are several cases that people can still be infected after death? (Is there such a god?) It is said that tuberculosis lesions have been found on the mummy {My God! }
o(n_n)o Haha~, so everyone should not test this question of whether to burn or not to burn. It must be burnt, or it will be more difficult to be caught between Jingdi and Xiaohua. (^o^)/~
Khan, it's easy to be soft-hearted, and I feel so pitiful for the queen when I write this. According to Jiyou, this is a disease that needs to be cured.
