Immediately, the guards of the Royal Forest Army rushed in, two or three people grabbed Fang Xiaoru, one person took out a dagger from his waist, and stabbed the corners of Fang Xiaoru's mouth on both sides, and tore it with his hand, Fang Xiaoru's mouth hung directly to his ears, he screamed at first, and then because the corners of his mouth hurt more because of the screams, he slowly lost his voice. In an instant, his face was already covered with blood, like a bloody man, and even the ground of the main hall was covered with bloodstains, and the scene was unbearable, and many people had already turned their backs and couldn't bear to look at it anymore. I felt a pain in my chest, my mind dizzy, and I fell to the ground with a thud, unconscious.

When I woke up, Zhu Di was sitting on the edge of the bed, a palace daughter was holding a medicine bowl, and there were vaguely two or three imperial doctors' voices coming in from outside the screen, and the voice was very low, as if they were discussing something. Zhu Di's expression was very ugly, I couldn't tell if he was frowning because Fang Xiaoru was confronting him in court or because of me.

Seeing me open his eyes, he put away his worries and smiled gently, "How are you?" ”

I forced a smile, "It's nothing." Struggling to get up, Zhu Di held me down, "The most senior doctors in the Tai Hospital are here, I have been too busy during this time, and I finally found time to come, I must treat your injuries well." ”

"My injuries are healed." I thought of the two bloody corners of Fang Xiaoru's mouth that had been torn apart, and I felt nauseous in my heart, my stomach churned, I turned over and reached out to pull the spittoon next to the bed, and I spit out a bowl of japonica rice porridge and a few goose fat rolls that I ate in the morning.

Zhu Di hurriedly bent down, patted me on the back, and shouted anxiously, "Imperial Doctor! Doctor! ”

I coughed and waved my hand, "No, no......"

Zhu Di's face sank slightly, "Then you can drink some tea and rinse your mouth." A clever little palace daughter next to her immediately came over with a cup of Longjing green tea, "Miss, use a little." ”

I opened my mouth, sipped some and spit into the spittoon, Zhu Di reached out and stroked my face, "Your face is ugly." ”

I smiled slightly, "It's out of the way, I'll just lie down a little." ”

Zhu Di also saw that I was not really so depressed because the old injuries had not healed, I was frightened by Fang Xiaoru's tragic situation, obviously he didn't want to discuss half a word with me in this matter, so he excused himself to go out to talk to the imperial doctors, comforted me a few words, and asked the palace daughter to take care of her, and walked out.

I leaned on the mattress and watched his back, still so tall, still so upright, and majestic, but he was no longer the Zhu Di of the past, nor was he the King of Yan, he was already the emperor, and he took over from Zhu Yunwen's hands that Zhu Yuanzhang had worked so hard to lay down the rivers and mountains, the south of the Yangtze River, the outside of the Saiwai, the ancient barbarians of southern Yunnan, and the customs of the Western Regions, all under his control!

He will soon accept the worship of all nations, and use his hands to create a prosperous Yongle era in the Han and Tang dynasties.

But he's no longer my Zhu Di.

Before Zhu Di entered Beijing, Zhu Yunwen had secretly sent Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai out of the capital, so that they could continue to recruit troops, but he invited the county lord of Qingcheng to pretend to sue for peace. Because the new emperor Zhu Di ascended the throne, he must be crowned queen, and the emperor and queen will hold a ceremony to worship the heavens together, so that the country has both a king and a mother of the country, and it is prosperous.

Zhu Di seemed to have a headache in this matter, Xu Yunhua entered the East Palace for several days before he came to me, seeing that I was still sick and spiritless, he smiled and said, "Now that you have my protection, no one can do anything to you anymore, it's time to have fun, why are you still so unhappy day and night, and you don't know how to maintain it at all?" ”

I was pruning a handful of lotus flowers that I had cut from the lotus pond in the Imperial Garden, and when I saw him coming, I thought about it, so I dropped the flowers and walked up to him and blessed him. Zhu Di smiled and held me up, "What's the matter, are you still polite with me?" ”

I smiled and shook my head and said, "It's not that I'm polite, it's different now, now that you're the emperor, this is the palace, there are many ears and eyes, even if you are still you, but I can't be as casual as in the past, if I am seen, I will not accuse me, I will also accuse you, this palace is now your home, and you can't stand up at home, how can you serve people in the court?" ”

The more Zhu Di listened to me, the more he laughed, "I became more and more ignorant, and gradually I was inferior to you." What you say is polite, just a point, you only obey the rules in the open, when there is no one, we should do what we want, don't be formal. ”

I pouted, "Well, look at it, what you said is already formal, and you are talking about me." ”

Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, and then laughed again, "You thing, you are becoming more and more hypocritical, I can't cure you anymore." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to grab it like me, I smiled and dodged, and looked around again, it turned out that several palace daughters sent to take care of me had been sent out by Zhu Di, the door was closed, I couldn't help laughing, "Blue sky and white day, you can come, good and dignified, why do you order someone to close the door?" People don't know what we're doing! So saying, he went to open the door.

Zhu Di hurriedly pulled me down, "Don't open the door, I'm very tired, I want to be alone with you for a while, I don't want anyone to disturb me." ”

A few days ago, because of Fang Xiaoru's matter, I always avoided Zhu Di a little, and he himself knew very well in his heart that in the past few days, Xu Yunhua brought the old relatives of the palace into the palace, and Zhu Di wanted to settle them, because the two of us were very estranged, and when I heard him say this today, I couldn't help but feel a little pantothenic acid in my heart, so I couldn't bear to blame it anymore, and said, "Have you set a date?" ”

"The seventeenth day of June was chosen by the Qin Heavens, which is an auspicious day for the zodiac." Zhu Di said a little rusty, he seemed to be deliberately avoiding the fact that he was about to become the emperor in front of me.

In order to comfort him, I forced a smile and said, "Now that the date of the enthronement ceremony has been set, then you can rest assured." ”

Zhu Di wanted to speak and stopped, walked to the lotus vase I was fiddling with just now, took out the flower and inserted it again, for a long time, and then accosted and said, "This flower is blooming well." ”

I laughed, "Do you have anything to tell me?" ”

Zhu Di shook his senses and raised his head, "Hmm, are you okay living here?" Would you like to get a bigger dormitory? ”

"This place is bigger than the main house in King Yan's mansion, how can it not be good to live in?" I asked with a smile.

Zhu Di was stunned again, looked around, and suddenly whispered, "On the day of his accession to the throne, he will also canonize the queen." ”

I paused, looked at him, and saw that his face was a little red, full of guilt, knowing that he felt that it was not good for me, so he smiled and said, "The princess is an elegant and noble person, and now she deserves to be a mother in the world." ”

Zhu Di walked up to me, held my hand, put it to his lips and kissed it, and said, "She has raised several children, and she is the mother of the prince, and the position of the queen belongs to him. When Zhu Di said this, he seemed to offend me a little, and asked as if pleading, "Okay?" ”

I smiled awkwardly, "We've discussed this matter a long time ago, and now you yourself wear a mask all the time, do you want to pull me into that whirlpool?" ”

Zhu Di exhaled a long breath, "It seems that you still don't want to." ”

"You first arrange the positions of the princess and the side concubines, don't treat anyone badly, they are all frightened and guarded the Yan Wangfu for four years, and they only have a few days. As for me, you know I don't mean that. ”

Zhu Di was very restrained when he came, and after listening to my words, his expression was even more depressed, like a child who took his beloved toys and gave them to others, but was not loved by others. I felt a little unbearable in my heart, so I said, "I haven't thought about what I want yet, and when I think about it, I will go and ask you in person, don't think that you will send me away easily." ”

Zhu Di seemed to feel better when he heard me say this, and said with a smile, "As long as it is what you want, as long as it is not a star in the sky, I will find a way for you." ”

"What if all I want is the stars in the sky?" After saying this, I regretted it, I wanted Zhu Di forever and couldn't give it to me, those precious things were not stars in the sky for him? Sure enough, Zhu Di's face, which had just improved a little, had become dull again.

I hurriedly said, "I have something to ask you for right now." ”

Zhu Di looked at me, and there was no expression on his face, "What's the matter?" ”

"I've been here for days now and want to get out and about."

"Out of the palace?" Zhu Di frowned and asked.

"Hmm." I answered, and added, "I also want to go to the suburbs to sweep my father's grave, and Biluo, Biluo has been gone for three years." "At the mention of Biluo, my eyes immediately couldn't help but turn red.

When Zhu Di heard me say this, he didn't have anything to say, so he had to say, "I'm just afraid that I won't be able to spare time to go out with you now." ”

"I don't need you to accompany me, if you really don't feel at ease, Yue Longcheng can also accompany me, he probably wants to put a few sticks of incense on my father."

Zhu Di's face changed slightly, but the change was fleeting, and after a long time, he nodded, "Yes." You arrange the time yourself, and I will go and order Yuelong City. ”

I nodded, "Thank you." ”

Zhu Di stretched out his hand, stroked my shoulder, and finally squeezed it affectionately, and said with a smile, "Are you happier now?" ”<
