Chapter 56 Revealed

 Outside the palace gate, there were many carriages parked.

 Towards the end of the year, it snowed heavily, and I felt a bone-chilling cold as soon as I stepped out of the carriage.

Dengzhi hurriedly put a big cloak on Mr. Xu, and another layer on the young lady.

 With the women in each house looking a little worried, they were not in the mood to inquire about the news with the ladies around them.

Your Majesty is the biological son of the Queen Mother. He is the most filial and filial person, which is known to the whole world.

“It’s so cold.” Several old men sniffed. They were already old, and it was even more difficult to stand in the ice and snow.

“Madam, please bring a Tangbaozi.” Yingxue handed over a hot water bottle that can be hidden under her sleeve.

At this moment, the palace door is wide open.

 The married women are arranged in order according to their status.

Even though the Xu family has a high family status, the Xu family has already married into the Lu family, and the Lu family is only middle-ranking in the court, so it is nothing.

As soon as the palace door opened, an old nun walked out with a smile.

This is the nanny beside the eldest princess, she is quite proud of her.

She jumped over the ladies step by step and walked to Mrs. Xu: "Mrs. Xu, I am young and it is snowing heavily. The eldest princess specially asked my wife to drive her into the palace in a sedan chair." Sure enough, the eldest princess's guard of honor followed behind her.

Everyone was shocked, but the eldest princess was the most disciplined.

At this moment, he actually broke the rules and invited Mr. Xu to ride in his sedan chair?

Mrs. Xu lowered her head and glanced at Lu Chaochao, who was licking his fingers. He must have taken advantage of the girl.

She and the eldest princess have been friends for twenty years, and the eldest princess has never broken the rules.

"Then thank you, mama, for bothering the eldest princess." Ms. Xu thanked her, and then she hugged Chao Chao and got into the sedan chair.

There are people from the palace constantly sweeping away the snow, but there is still a thin layer of snow.

 The further inside, the more chilled Mrs. Xu felt.

 Many of the people in the palace coughed slightly and looked bad.

Her heart skipped a beat.

Going through the palace wall and arriving at Kunning Palace, before entering the main hall, I could smell the strong smell of medicine.

"How is the Queen Mother?" Mrs. Xu hugged Chao Chao and got out of the sedan chair.

Mammy's eyes were red: "The Queen Mother was originally in good health, and there was very little wind and cold this year. But at the end of the year, maybe the heavy snow dropped the temperature, and she fell seriously ill. The high fever has not gone away, the coughing continues, and this morning, she can't breathe even more. "

 “Your Majesty even stopped attending the morning court and stayed by the Queen Mother’s side.”

“Everyone from the Imperial Medical Office arrived at Kunning Palace, but the fever still persists.”

If Your Majesty hadn't still had some sense, I'm afraid the Imperial Medical Office wouldn't have been able to save its head.

  【It's a lung disease, it's a lung disease! It is contagious, and the symptoms are like wind and cold, but gradually worsen in the later stage, with persistent coughing, high fever, and then death from organ failure. 】

Lu Chaochao was lying in Denzhi’s arms, his eyes bright.

Xu's heart felt cold.

“Your Majesty is still in Kunning Palace?”

Mammy nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty has never left."

 Xu’s face was as sinking as water.

"Where is the eldest princess?" Mrs. Xu thought of the eldest princess and couldn't help but worry.

"The eldest princess was originally going to come, but before the Queen Mother was unconscious, she issued an edict. It was extremely difficult for the eldest princess to have a baby, so she was not allowed to enter the palace." She had waited for more than ten years for this pregnancy, so how could she dare to let her enter the palace.

Xu breathed a sigh of relief.

 "Go...go..." Lu Chaochao knew what his mother was thinking and immediately started making a fuss.

Xu was helpless, knowing that there was something strange about her, but she was worried and uneasy.

   If something happens to both Your Majesty and the Crown Prince, I am afraid that the family and the country will be in chaos.

She made up her mind and carried Chaochao into Kunning Palace in person.

The door was closed, but when I opened it, there was a strong smell of medicine in the room.

It is even more dissipated.

 The emperor knelt in front of the bed with his brows furrowed and his eyes red, glaring at everyone angrily.

"The entire Imperial Medical Office can't even cure the cold? What's the use of raising you?!" The emperor's fingers trembled with anger.

 The Queen Mother was not of high birth, and after giving birth to him, the two of them had a very difficult time in the palace.

 The two depended on each other, and the emperor valued his mother very much. The Imperial Medical Officer knelt on the ground and shivered.

  A group of married women were already standing in the room. After Mrs. Xu saluted, she stood beside them.

 These are all people who come to take care of illness.

 “Ahem…” The Queen Mother has fallen into a semi-conscious state. She has a high fever and her face is red, but she is still coughing violently.

 The emperor was very worried when he saw it.

Hold the Queen Mother's hand tightly and refused to let go.

 The house was filled with a sickly smell.

From time to time, a suppressed and shallow cough can be heard.

Xu's heart was frightened.

  【Oh, it turns out to be lung disease. 】

  【The southern country next door has been in war for a long time, with countless casualties and corpses piled up, and bacteria growing, so some people burned the corpses. After the burning, a heavy rain polluted the water source, causing many people in the South to suffer from lung disease]

  【But because of the blockade by the Southern Kingdom, there is still no news to the outside world. 】

 Lu Chaochao hugged his mother's neck, thinking about how to remind her.

 “Stand back.” The emperor waved his hand.

Mrs. Xu took a deep breath, stood up and knelt in the center: "Your Majesty, I have something to report."

 At this moment, everyone retreated.

Xu Yiting frowned fiercely and looked at his sister worriedly.

 The emperor looked at her deeply.

 He has an impression of Mr. Xu.

 Xu Shiyun, the legitimate daughter of the Xu family. Married to Zhongyong Hou Lu Yuanze more than ten years ago.

 A few days ago, because Mr. Chen, the Minister of Rites, was raising a foreign wife, he checked on Marquis Zhongyong.

This investigation also revealed a lot of things.

Lu Yuanze was known for his devotion in Beijing, but his investigation revealed Lu Yuanze's deep love for another woman from another family.

In his eyes, Mrs. Xu is confused.

 Having been deceived by men for nearly twenty years, I am ignorant and stupid.

 At this moment, even Lu Chaochao was hugged.

 Only the emperor and Mrs. Xu were left in the house.

Mrs. Xu took a deep breath, knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is only suffering from an epidemic."

“The Southern Kingdom has been fighting for a long time, with numerous casualties and corpses piled up, and diseases have become prevalent in the Southern Kingdom.”

“But the Southern Kingdom has blocked the news. If your Majesty sends someone to investigate, we will know.”

 When the emperor heard about the epidemic, his heart suddenly sank.

But then I had some doubts in my mind. How could the Xu family, a woman with no doorstep, know about the epidemic in the southern country?

Xu's palms were sweating. She didn't know how to explain to the emperor.

 But the emperor asked nothing.

After just waving, the **** Wang Gonggong came in.

 “Pass on to protect the country.”

"Yes." The prince summoned Lord Protector Li outside the palace gate.

"Mr. Protector, is there anything unusual when the Southern Kingdom comes in??" The atmosphere in the palace was solemn. Cold sweat broke out on Mrs. Xu's forehead, and she even shivered slightly.

 The Protector is already old, but he has been fighting for many years and looks very energetic and extraordinary.

"Reporting to your majesty, the last battle in the Southern Kingdom was three months ago. But recently, the peace of mind has been too much. The gates of each city are closed tightly, and our spies never came out after entering." Lord Protector Li replied. .

 The emperor's eyelids twitched slightly.

“Maybe it’s because of the winter. They are hoarding food and medicinal materials outside, just to rest and recuperate.”

The emperor stood up suddenly, feeling dizzy in front of his eyes.
