Chapter 74: Wake up

In her sleep, Ran Ning felt as if she was touching her hair, and when she opened it in a daze, she saw Zhong Su looking at her. Ran Ning woke up in an instant, and immediately sat up and grabbed Zhong Su's hand, "Are you awake?" If there is anything uncomfortable, I will ask Uncle Shi to help you take a look. ”

Zhong Su stroked her face, gently rubbed his thumb under her still blue eyes, and said, "You have lost weight." ”

Ran Ning smiled slightly, held his hand, and rubbed his palm with his cheek, "It's good for you to wake up." Don't scare me like this in the future, this time fortunately, with a teacher, you can be safe and sound. If something happens to you, what do you let me do? ”

"There won't be a next time, I promise." Zhong Su promised her.

Ran Ning nodded, "Ask Uncle Shi to come and show you again." ”

"I'm fine." Zhong Su put his arm around her, left a kiss on her forehead, and said, "Stay with me for a while." Although he occasionally felt some consciousness after he fell into a coma, he was always groggy and couldn't wake up at all, and he didn't know how many days had passed, and when he woke up today, he saw Ran Ning lying beside him, obviously haggard and a lot, and suddenly felt like a world away, as if he hadn't seen her for a long, long time.

Ran Ning leaned on Zhong Su, took the initiative to hug his waist back, and said: "Uncle Shi said that the poison in you came from Xiya, it is obvious that someone in the palace is colluding with Xiya, but it is not easy to guess who is colluding. But the only people in the palace who want to harm you are those people, you just have a number in your heart. ”

Now the one who wants to kill Zhong Su is either the eldest prince's faction or the three princes' faction, no matter which faction it is, one of the eldest princes or the three princes is an insider. And most of the people on the West Cliff side are also members of the royal family, after all, this kind of collusion is driven by interests, if there is not enough status and benefits, the eldest prince and the third prince will not take care of them.

"Well, whether it's the eldest prince or the third prince, I didn't dare to make it too obvious before. Now that you dare to poison me at the palace banquet, I am afraid that you have already taken the six princes as opponents, instead of not taking the six princes in your eyes at all as before. After the six princes began to enter the imperial study, the emperor has always been very satisfied, and they should have noticed this, not wanting the six princes to be too showy in front of the emperor, and wanting to get rid of his helpers. Zhong Su analyzed: "Before, the eldest prince and the third prince fought fiercely, and it was common for two people to frame each other, but now that I notice the sixth prince, I am afraid that they will turn around." But don't worry about the eldest prince and the third prince joining forces, after all, they didn't have a good quarrel before, and they don't trust each other, so it's impossible to join forces. ”

"That's fine, as long as they don't join forces, it won't be too tricky." Ran Ning said. Originally, it was very good to watch the tiger fight from the mountain, but it was obvious that there was a tiger who didn't want the six princes to be too stable.

"Beixin and Xiya will fight every year, and I am more worried that the people who collude with Xiya will betray Beixin." Zhong Su said. The biggest concern of those who fight the war is the leakage of tactics.

"The people of Xiya are ruthless and suspicious, even if someone sues them for strategy, will the people of Xiya believe it? And whether it is the eldest prince or the third prince, they can't get involved in the affairs of the military camp now, let alone military power, so they don't have to worry about it for the time being. Ran Ning smiled. Like most emperors, the emperor would not lightly give the princes military power, and he was not even allowed to enter the military camp.

"That's right." Zhong Su nodded. However, although it is unlikely, Zhong Su feels that when he is ready, he will pick a time to remind Yuan Hengyang.

"By the way, in the past few days since you were poisoned, Yuan Gongzi and Du Gongzi have sent people to send supplements, saying that they can't help if they come over now, so it's better to help find out who poisoned you, and then notify them when you are better, they will come to visit you in person." Speaking of military power, Ran Ning also remembered that Yuan Hengyang and Du Mu sent people to inquire.

"It's okay, let Xiao Wu go back for a while, let them not check, and wait for the results on the emperor's side, so as not to jump off the wall in a hurry." Zhong Su said.

"Okay." Yuan Hengyang and Du Muyi have their own Zhong Su to arrange, so she doesn't need to worry about it.

Knowing that Zhong Su had woken up, the Marquis of Zhenbei also rushed over with General Zhong and Tan. Tan's eyes were red when he saw Zhong Su who woke up, Zhong Su comforted him a few words, promising that he would not do this again in the future, so Tan wiped the moistness from the corners of his eyes and regained his calm.

Shen Feng and Zunchen came to check Zhong Su's pulse, and after making sure that there would be no problems, Shen Feng took out the pill that could make Zhong Su continue to pretend to be sick, Zhong Su got out of bed and formally met Shen Feng, the uncle, after all, they hadn't seen each other for a long time, and the gift was indispensable.

Shen Feng accepted his salute and didn't say anything, so he went back to the room to prepare breakfast. Zunchen didn't stay long, told Zhong Su a few words, and then accompanied Shen Feng to breakfast.

After not eating for a few days, Ran Ning was afraid that his stomach would not be able to stand it, so he only asked Bizhu to prepare porridge that was easy to digest and nourish his stomach, and simply prepared a few delicious side dishes and fed Zhong Su himself. In order to prevent Imperial Physician Wang from smelling the smell of other medicines, the detoxifying medicine prescribed by Shen Feng was the same as the prescription prescribed by Zunchen before, and was put in the Tan family's courtyard to be fried, and then sent over. The small kitchen here in Qingfeng Yuan is responsible for frying the prescriptions prescribed by Imperial Physician Wang, so that Imperial Physician Wang can smell the medicine as soon as he comes, and will think that Zhong Su has been taking the medicine prescribed by him. As for the medicine, after it was decoctioned and pretended, it was all poured out.

The detoxification medicine was still boiling, Zhong Su first took the pill Shen Feng gave him, and continued to lie on the bed and pretend to be sick. On the one hand, he really needs to rest, on the other hand, his illness can also make those who want to harm him relax their vigilance, and once people relax, they are easy to be caught by the tail, so they can't let go of killing two birds with one stone.

After breakfast, Imperial Physician Wang came. Seeing that Zhong Su woke up, he was also very happy in his heart. Ran Ning felt that although he was a little sorry for this innocent imperial physician, they didn't harm him, they just wanted him to help do something, if Zhong Su was cured, his status as imperial physician should be improved, but it would be harmless.

Because he felt that the newly prescribed prescription was useful, Imperial Doctor Wang did not prescribe other prescriptions, but only adjusted the measurement of a few medicines, so that Zhong Su could get better faster.

Since Zhong Su was already sober, the Marquis of Zhenbei was not ready to stay with the imperial physician Wang, but only said that he did not dare to work for a long time as the imperial physician in the palace. Imperial Physician Wang also felt that Zhong Su only needed to recuperate well now, slowly remove the poison, and it would not endanger his life, so he accepted the thank you gift from the Zhenbei Hou Mansion and returned to the palace to restore his life.

After Imperial Physician Wang left, Zhong Jin also came to see Zhong Su rarely. In fact, Zhong Su and Zhong Jin's brotherly relationship is very weak, and Zhong Jin is just in a brotherly relationship.

In Zhong Su's house, Zhenbei Hou asked about Zhong Jin's reading.

"My grandson has been concentrating on his studies, and I don't dare to slack off for a day, this spring festival will be able to go to high school, please rest assured grandfather." Zhong Jin said.

Zhenbei Hou nodded, and asked again, "What did your husband say?" ”

Zhong Jin was not able to become the prince's companion, nor was he admitted to Taixue, so the house was for Zhong Jin to find a separate gentleman to teach him.

"Mr. Nian also praised his grandson's rapid progress, Mr. went home in the middle of the year without guidance, and when Mr. came back after the year, his grandson would give him the questions he had doubts about and ask him to solve his doubts." Zhong Jin lowered his eyebrows and said smoothly.

"It's good that you know how to be motivated. I don't worry about Su'er's future, and if you can win a good one for your future, it's the best, if not, the government will also find a way to find an official position for you. Zhenbei Hou said. In fact, he knows very well what qualifications his grandson has, and in the last Spring Festival, Zhong Jin didn't even get into the top two hundred.

Zhong Jin didn't seem very happy, but he didn't express dissatisfaction, only said: "Grandson will try his best." ”

"Okay," Zhenbei Hou nodded, and didn't say anything more.

The so-called finding an official position is not a difficult thing for these high-ranking and powerful families in Beijing, generally like some children and grandchildren in the family who have studied for many years, but failed in the examination, the imperial court also has a certain preferential treatment system, if there is an opportunity, the family will use this system to find an official position. It's just that the general official rank is not high, below the eighth grade, and the bottom class is the majority. It's hard to get promoted, but it's good to have a position where you can make a living.

In the blink of an eye, it is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and there will be a lantern festival in Beijing on this day, but it is not convenient for Zhong Su to go out, so Ran Ning did not go out. Today, as in previous years, the palace will still set off fireworks, and every household will also set off, indicating that the Spring Festival has passed and the new year will be prosperous.

Although she didn't go out, there were also a lot of lanterns hanging in the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei, and Ran Ning didn't like to join in the fun, so she didn't feel a pity if she didn't go. However, Bizhu was still young, and Ran Ning didn't want to detain her in the mansion on such a day, so she let her go to the Lantern Festival. In the past few days when Zhong Su was poisoned, Xiao Wu was also very hard, and Zhong Su also gave him a vacation and asked him to go out with Bizhu.

Chu Yan is celebrating the New Year in Beixin for the first time, although Shen Feng doesn't like to be lively, but Chu Yan is his apprentice, and he is young, so he should go out to see it. So accompanied by Zun Chen, Shen Feng also took Chu Yan out. With them, Chu Yan would not be in any danger.

In order not to attract attention, General Zhong and Tan did not go to the Lantern Festival with Zunchen, but only the two of them went to the Lantern Festival together. They haven't been close to the lantern festival like this for a long time, and now that Zhong Su is fine, they can rest assured, so they also went to catch up with the fun. Zhenbei Hou had an appointment with an old friend, went to the appointment to drink, and was not in the house. The Li family is still grounded, and Zhong Jin is also immersed in reading, but there is no movement.

After the Lantern Festival was cooked and sent into the house, Zhong Su looked at Ran Ning and said with some regret: "I can't accompany you to see the lanterns today." "The lantern will be very important to the people in Beijing, generally if there is no special thing, will go to see, buy a lantern, eat some snacks, guess the lantern fans, both lively and relaxed.

"It's a long time coming. Besides, I'd rather be in the house with you than the hustle and bustle outside. Ran Ning smiled and plucked a few rice balls from her bowl into Zhong Su's bowl.

"After the year, I will continue to call myself sick and not go to court for the time being, so that I can spend more time with you." Zhong Su felt that he had to see Ran Ning return to his previous figure.

Ran Ning smiled and said, "Then I'll go to the Lile Division tomorrow to answer the bill, tell Le Qing, and I'll go when you're well." "This leave can only be requested by herself.

"Okay." Zhong Su smiled slightly, even if he spent more time with Ran Ning, Zhong Su would feel that it was not enough, maybe this was the mood of liking someone.

"Tomorrow, I'll go by the way to say goodbye to Concubine Xian, Niangniang is very worried about you, I'll go and tell her, she will be more at ease." Ran Ning said. The news that Zhong Su is safe has already been passed on to the virtuous concubine, but it is inconvenient to hand the fold into the palace during the Chinese New Year, after all, it has already been seen on the day of the palace banquet. Therefore, Concubine Xian Guifei did not see the people of the Hou Mansion, so she must have to listen to the people in the Mansion to rest assured. It is very appropriate for Ran Ning to say this matter, and there is no need to hand over additional folds.

"Good. You come back early. "Zhong Su has been sleeping a lot lately, and usually when he wakes up, Ran Ning has already gotten up.

"Well, come back before you wake up." Ran Ning smiled and said, "Go buy some snacks from Qinxiaoju and come back." ”

"Hmm." Ran Ning eats more, and he can gain weight faster, so that he can really feel at ease.
