At that time, Concubine Rou asked Qin Tianjian to say that the little princess had an excellent destiny and that the snow disaster was alleviated after the birth of the second princess.
The heavy snowfall in the past few days has eased a lot. It is said that the ministers sent to rebuild the disaster area have achieved initial results, and the snow disaster has been brought under control.
The news spread to the people, and everyone praised the second princess as a little fairy who came to earth to save the people.
Concubine De heard this and rushed to Weiyang Palace to talk to Xie Ziyue. Her words were full of contempt:
"Concubine Rou is really trying to win favor by any means. I don't know if Concubine Shu's spirit in heaven will be uneasy if she knows that her daughter is being used in this way."
Today, the Holy Emperor is still here, but the people keep saying that the little princess saved them... What does this make Han Xianzong think?
It can only be said that Concubine Rou was too impatient. Perhaps in other words, because this daughter was not her biological daughter, she did not think carefully at all.
Concubine De was really contemptuous in her heart, but she didn't know that her words turned out to be a prophecy.
Not long after the snowstorm subsided, the plague suddenly emerged.
The previous snow disaster really killed too many people. Even if the court quickly took measures, countless people were frozen to death or crushed to death by collapsed houses.
The government was busy rebuilding houses, and the corpses of dead people were scattered everywhere. Over time, a very terrible disease spread.
The disease started with a fever all over the body, and then he coughed up blood. The blood he coughed up at first was bright red, and gradually mixed with debris, as if his internal organs were also coughed up.
The time from onset to death usually only takes half a month.
And it spreads very quickly and is highly contagious.
The first place where the disease fell sick was Huizhou. It was a yamen official who was responsible for transporting corpses and became ill at first. Within a few days, almost the entire yamen were on leave and at home.
Not to mention ordinary people, who had not paid attention to it before. When they found that the same symptoms were present in all the yamen, the imperial doctor who followed him looked solemn.
After the diagnosis and treatment, the urgent letter was placed on Han Xianzong's imperial case that evening.
Emperor Xianzong of the Han Dynasty summoned ministers to discuss countermeasures that night, and sent troops to Huizhou at night to control various city gates to prevent people infected by the plague from escaping.
At the same time, a large number of doctors were sent to Huizhou to treat diseases and treat patients, and food supplies were also allocated.
For a time, people were panicked.
There was almost no cure for diseases like the plague in ancient times. Due to panic, people rushed to buy mugwort, and many people went to the suburbs to cut mugwort and smoke it.
The control up and down the palace is also strict and strict.
Everyone in Weiyang Palace was even more prepared. Xie Ziyue even squeezed her daughter's time to play out to half an hour every day, and ordered people to smoke her every once in a while.
Palace attendants who enter and leave Weiyang Palace every day must be carefully checked for fear of bringing anything bad.
Although Gu Xuan understood this, it was really boring to stay in the palace every day. She wanted to act coquettishly, but this time Xie Ziyue didn't buy it at all:
"Don't act like a baby," Xie Ziyue tapped her daughter's nose: "There are terrible diseases out there. What if you get infected?"
Xie Ziyue had heard about it. The illness was extremely severe. She had a high fever and coughed up blood at the beginning. In the end, even the broken internal organs were coughed up along with the blood. It was extremely frightening.
And even if you don’t talk about the terrible plague, take the current weather as an example, it’s freezing and snowy outside, what fun can there be?
"But I'm so bored," Gu Xuan held her face in her hands: "Concubine, if we don't leave the palace, can we just play in the palace?"
"Then call your empress De here and ask her to teach you how to cut paper." Xie Ziyue thought for a while and said.
"Okay." Gu Xuan's eyes suddenly lit up.
De Fei is very versatile. She can not only play football but also cut paper. Although the mother concubine can also do it, the mother concubine does not know as many tricks as the virtuous concubine.
Gu Xuan had seen it once before and sighed that it would be great if she could know it too.
Anyway, I have nothing to do in the palace now, so I might as well call Concubine De over to have some fun together.
Tao Xiang went quickly, and Concubine De came over soon.
"You're finally here. This little guy has been thinking about letting you teach her how to cut paper." Xie Ziyue had already sent someone to prepare paper cutting and scissors. Seeing Concubine De's arrival, she had a smile on her lips.
Concubine De also had a smile on her face: "What's so difficult about this? With our A-Xuan's intelligence, we can learn it very quickly."
Like Xie Ziyue, she estimated that even if Gu Xuan randomly cut something, it would be a masterpiece in their eyes.
If others don't take it seriously, it's because that person has no vision.
Gu Xuan was used to this, so she just concentrated on watching the movements of De Fei's hands, paying attention to the opponent's skills.
"By the way, sister," Concubine De seemed to have remembered something, and the expression on her face suddenly became mysterious:
"Guess what I heard today?"
Her expression usually meant that she had heard about something big. Xie Ziyue raised her eyebrows. Before she could say anything, Gu Xuan asked hurriedly: "What, what?"
Sometimes Gu Xuan felt that Concubine De's nickname should be King of Melons, the King of Melons.
She can know the breaking news in the palace immediately.
"You are in a hurry," Concubine De laughed.
However, with this episode, Concubine De didn’t hold back any longer and said directly:
"Didn't the Qin Tian Jian say before that the second princess was born extraordinary, so could it influence the people? At that time, the snow disaster eased, and the people said that the second princess was a fairy who descended to earth... But now that the plague broke out, the people changed the topic and said that the second princess was a fairy. Disaster."
The second princess was just a childish baby and should not have been involved in this dispute. But her adoptive mother didn't care about her reputation at all, and only thought that this daughter could help her.
Who would have thought that stealing the chicken will lose the rice. Now the situation is so out of control that any words spoken are like water being thrown out.
It is difficult to collect water that is covered with water, let alone the water that reaches the people.
"The human mouth is the most unstable thing." Xie Ziyue has long understood this. The human heart is the most unreliable thing, and the words in the mouth are also the most fickle.
Can the change in the reputation of the second princess affect anything?
It's just a matter of opening one's mouth. People can say whatever they want. Does Concubine Rou really think she can control the direction of public opinion?
However, Xie Ziyue's eyebrows skipped a beat when she thought of the newly born second princess.
That child is also pitiful. He was used like that just after he was born... Xie Ziyue also has a daughter. She just needs to think about what it would be like if her own Ah Xuan was used like that...
Just thinking about it made her feel pity in her heart.
She was so full of motherly love for her daughter that Xie Ziyue felt a sense of pity at this moment just because the second princess was similar in age to Ah Xuan.
It was just fate that played a trick on people. At this time, Xie Ziyue didn't know how much panic this trace of mercy would bring to her in the future.
