Empress Dowager Min couldn't hide her thoughts, and when she arrived at the bedside, she was immediately seen by Xiao Xu that something was wrong.

"Queen Mother, is my illness very serious?" Xiao Xu asked in a low voice.

Empress Dowager Min forced out a smile: "It's nothing." After the consultation between the envoys of the Yin Yuan and the imperial doctors, the emperor was too tired and wanted to rest for a while. ”

For a while?

Xiao Xu frowned invisibly: "How long is a period of time?"

Empress Dowager Min replied vaguely: "It won't be too long." ”

Gu Wanning said suddenly: "It will take at least two months." ”

Empress Dowager Min: "......"

Empress Dowager Min looked at her with disgust.

Didn't you say that you were going to hide it from him? Why did you tell the truth as soon as you turned your face? If you need to recuperate for more than two months, how can it be a disease that doesn't hurt or itch?

Gu Guan looked at Xiao Xu steadily, and said slowly: "In these two months, you don't have to ask about anything, let alone worry about it. There are cabinet elders in state affairs, and Xiao Rin and Xiao Lie are staring at border wars. If there's something they can't decide, I'll do it for you. ”

As soon as these words came out, Empress Dowager Min was shocked again, and blurted out: "How can this work!"

The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, this is the rule set by the ancestors of the Xiao family!

What's more, Gu Guanning has been pregnant for five or six months, so it is not suitable to work......

Xiao Xu's reaction greatly surprised Empress Dowager Min. I saw him blame himself and smile helplessly: "That's the only way." ”

Empress Dowager Min: "......"

Empress Dowager Min's mind was like a mess, and she couldn't figure it out, let alone what to say. After a while, he held back a sentence: "In short, this is not appropriate." ”

Xiao Xu raised his eyes and looked over, and his voice was soft: "The queen mother doesn't need to panic. Except for the three of us, we just don't let anyone else know about it. Idle things will not alarm me. If there is any urgent matter reported to the Funing Palace, A-Ning will make an order for me, and declare to the outside world that it is the holy will of the Son of Heaven, and no one will doubt it. ”

His illness has to be concealed. lest people's hearts fluctuate and the court is unstable.

Empress Dowager Min was still hesitating, and Xiao Xu said in a low voice: "I know that this is hard work, A-Ning." But at the moment, this is the only way to be the safest. I don't dare to be reckless, if I really get through my body, I will go to the west of the world early, leaving behind my mother, wife and children......"

Empress Dowager Min couldn't hear such words, and interrupted Xiao Xu without thinking: "That's it, everything depends on you." ”

……

Empress Dowager Min no longer objected, and the matter was settled.

From this day on, Xiao Xu recuperated in the Funing Palace.

Gu Wanning did not return to the Jiaofang Palace, and also lived in the Funing Palace. Speaking of which, this is another thing that does not conform to the rules of the palace. It's just that no one dares to talk more.

The three sisters and brothers came to visit once a day, and then honestly went back to the Jiaofang Hall to rest.

Fu Yan and Lin Ruxue really entered the palace to "help", and the two of them each took their children and lived in the Huining Palace. During the day, the children went to the study to study, and the two of them went to Cining Palace to ask for peace and help Empress Dowager Min take care of the chores of the harem together.

Both of them are smart and clever people, and they know what this trip to the palace is for. behaved quite docilely, and there was no dissatisfaction.

The prince of Wei and the prince of Han each led the household criminal department, and now they are shouldering heavy responsibilities and keeping an eye on the situation of the border war at any time.

The two of them discussed small matters, and when they encountered major matters, they had to go to Funing Hall immediately to report.

In the blink of an eye, it was seven or eight days.

The border war is still stalemate. The border army originally had the upper hand, but recently the people were panicked by the plague, which greatly affected the combat effectiveness. suffered several defeats in succession, and morale was quite low.

There is good news, too.

After Shen Jinyan lived in the barracks, he stayed awake for several days and nights and developed a prescription for the treatment of the plague. Although it could not completely cure the soldiers who were suffering from the plague, it effectively suppressed the spread of the plague. The number of soldiers dying from the plague was rapidly decreasing.

The news was sent to Funing Palace, and the little nobleman reported to Gu Guanning with a happy face: "...... Niangniang, such good news, it is better to let the servants report to the emperor in person. The emperor is in a good mood, maybe the dragon body will recover faster. ”

Gu Wanning's eyes had a long-lost smile: "I'll go talk to him." ”

……

Gu Wanning walked into the bedroom with brisk steps.

Xiao Xu has eaten and slept in the past few days, and has almost never had a chance to get out of bed. Ke Jun's face was still pale and bloodless, and his face was slightly thinner.

He slept a lot every day, and he was horriblely sleepy.

In this regard, the explanation of the envoy of the Yin Yuan is: "...... For most of the previous six months, the emperor didn't sleep enough every night. After a long time, the dragon body is overconsumed and too sleepy. It's like a bowstring, and it's always tightened. Now it's normal to relax and sleep more. ”

Gu Guanning didn't ask any more questions.

At this time, Xiao Xu fell asleep again.

Gu Wanning was reluctant to wake him up, sitting on the edge of the bed, staring at his pale and handsome sleeping face, his heart was like a needle prick.

She reached out and gently stroked his face.

Xiao Xu, you must get better soon.

I don't know I care so much about you until now.

I don't know how long it took for Xiao Xu to open his eyes and ask in a hoarse voice, "How long have I been sleeping?"

"About two hours. Gu Wanning replied in a soft voice.

He slept for two more hours.

Xiao Xu frowned, vaguely uneasy in his heart.

There were twelve hours a day, and he slept for almost eight or nine hours. It was less than four hours when I was awake. Is it really just because of excessive fatigue that you are so sleepy?

When he woke up, he didn't feel clear-headed, but a little unspeakably drowsy and uncomfortable.

Xiao Xu calmed down, pretending to smile briskly: "After the age of three, I have never been so idle. I've been sleeping soundly for the past few days. ”

Maybe it's because his acting skills are too smart, or maybe it's because Gu Wanning is in a good mood, and he was a little negligent for a while, and he didn't notice the haze that flashed in Xiao Xu's eyes.

Gu Wanning smiled and told Xiao Xu the good news sent by the border pass.

Xiao Xu perked up when he heard this: "Ah Yan is really good! He has made a great contribution this time! When the war subsides, I must reward him again." ”

The corners of Gu Wanning's mouth raised slightly: "It really deserves to be rewarded." ”

Shen Jinyan has made great contributions at the border pass. shows his face like this, who will dare to hold on to his life experience in the future?

Perhaps, Shen Jinyan's stay at the border is indeed the best choice.

In the army, there are not as many twists and turns as the court. The officers and men in the army have to train and fight, and their respect for military doctors is far better than that of others. Shen Jinyan stays in the border army, and there will be no more cold-eyed discrimination and ridicule.

He wants to live an upright life, and even has the idea of making a contribution. Only in the military, this is possible.

"Xiao Xu, Ah Yan wants to stay in the army. The words that had been concealed and not mentioned naturally came out: "I didn't want to." Now that I think about it, it's appropriate. ”
