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.

As she thought about this, Rong'er instructed the Chimera to head to the storage palace.

At this time, the Emperor usually wouldn't go to the imperial harem. In these past few years, whenever something happened to the Emperor, the Emperor would come at this hour. When she thought about what Xiaoqing had said about the closing of the Longevity Palace, she knew that something had happened.

Rong'er was still in his month, so she held him tightly in her arms, not daring to let go. Rong'er leaned against the warm brick bed and didn't say anything, as if they had a tacit understanding. Xuan Ye didn't say anything either. He just stood beside Rong'er and looked at him bitterly, for a long, long time …

"Wow!" Suddenly, the sound of Zhi Yin wailing in Rong'er's arms woke the two of them from their stupor. Rong'er couldn't help but shiver.

"Someone, come!" Xiao Qing and the wet nurse stood to the side. "Carry the prince down and rest. We have something to talk to Noble Lady Rong about."

The wet nurse wanted to take over Prince Yin's arms, but Rong'er subconsciously held the child tighter.

"Rong'er …" "Little Qing," Xuan Ye called out in a bitter voice. Rong'er glanced at Xuan Ye before finally handing the child over to the wet nurse. The wet nurse took both of them out of the room, leaving behind only Xuan Ye and Rong'er.

Seeing the sorrowful expression on the emperor's face, Rong'er lightly bit his lips. Lip, she suddenly didn't want to hear what the emperor had to say anymore. No matter what he said, she didn't want to hear it.

"Rong'er …" Xuan Ye called out again, but he didn't know how to begin. The frown on his forehead had already deepened.

"The empress dowager's palace is closed. Something has happened to Changsheng …" Rong'er trembled as he spoke, feeling that his hands were ice-cold.

Seeing Rong'er's pale face, Xuan Ye knew that he had guessed it. He stepped forward and gently held Rong'er's hand, which was indeed very cold. "Rong'er, long life had smallpox. A eunuch in the palace probably caught it when he was out. At first, no one paid much attention to it, but today the imperial physician ordered a diagnosis, and …" Xuan Ye lowered his head, not daring to meet Rong'er's eyes. "And longevity …" Also the day before yesterday... It's getting hot too... "

"NO!" Don't do that! Your Majesty, don't be like this. Don't treat chenqie like this, okay? No! Your Majesty … "Don't..." Rong'er's tears had already begun to flow unwittingly.

"Rong'er …" Xuan Ye's heart ached as well. Why, exactly why, he repeatedly asked the heavens in his heart.

"Eternal …" Rong'er's tears had already blurred her vision, "No …" Don't be like Cheng Rui, and don't be like a cork, no... smallpox... No... No! Heavens, I beg of you, don't do this to me. You can do anything you want me to, as long as you don't treat my child so cruelly … "No …" Rong'er was already on the verge of collapse. She couldn't bear it, she really couldn't. She finally had to wait for her longevity to grow, but why? Why!

Xuan Ye saw that Rong'er had already lost control of his emotions, and tightly embraced him in heartache. "Rong'er, calm down. Rong'er, don't be like this. I'll be very worried."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, your concubine wants to see Longsheng. Your Majesty, I beg you, Rong'er didn't see Chengrui, Rong'er is his concubine, he's sick, Rong'er should stay by his side and feed him medicine. That's right, Your Majesty, Rong'er must take care of Longevity." As Rong'er spoke, he wanted to break free from Xuan Ye's embrace and go down to the ground.

Xuan Ye tightly held onto Rong'er, not letting her move. "Rong'er, I'm sorry, but I can't let you see my son forever, just like I forbade you to see Cheng Rui. I don't dare to take this risk. I'm afraid that you'll get infected too, so I forbid you." "I can't imagine what you're going to do if you get sick."

"Your Majesty, your son is begging you. Rong'er is your eldest mother. Perhaps Rong'er will personally take care of him, so he won't be like Cheng Rui. Your concubine is so scared, I'm so afraid that my son will be like Cheng Rui …" Rong'er shook his head in agony, not daring to speak or think. She couldn't imagine what she would do if the child died.

"Rong'er, I will let the royal doctors treat his longevity. I will definitely do everything I can to save him, okay? I had smallpox back then as well, so isn't I fine? I believe that longevity will be fine as well. " Xuan Ye tightly held Rong'er.

Xuan Ye was worried that he was holding her by the shoulder and looking into her eyes. He only saw that Rong'er's eyes were glazed over, but the tears were still flowing. He mumbled softly, "What did Rong'er do wrong in the end? Why does my son have to be treated so cruelly one after the other?"

"No, Rong'er, this is not your fault. This has nothing to do with you. Look at Rongcheng, you personally raised her. She looks so healthy. Rong'er, you are a very good concubine, so don't blame yourself." Xuan Ye said worriedly.

"Your Majesty …" "Your Majesty …" Rong'er's expression revealed her sorrowful mood. He suddenly embraced Xuan Ye's waist. "Your Majesty … I beg you, save Longevity, save him! "

Xuan Ye closed his eyes, hugging Rong'er tightly. Even though Rong'er couldn't see him, he still nodded vigorously, "I will. The name of longevity is longevity, a longevity that lasts forever. How can he die so easily? Promise me that you will be stronger, will you? "

After so many years had passed, Rong'er thought that she had matured and become strong. However, even in the face of her beloved son's illness, her heart was still unable to be strong. It's just that … She couldn't make the emperor worry. She couldn't just cower in Xuan Ye's embrace, and Rong'er nodded vigorously as well. "Rong'er won't make a fuss and go see Longevity. Rong'er will wait for news of the emperor. Rong'er hopes that this news … "It will be …" Rong'er paused for a moment before continuing, "This will be good news …"

Since they were still at the month-old stage, Rong'er wasn't able to comb his hair. Xuan Ye gently caressed the hair draped over Rong'er's shoulders as he whispered, "Okay, good news. It will definitely be good news …" As he mumbled, his eyes turned red.
