When someone suddenly came to the palace, and when he clearly said that he wanted to announce that the divine doctor would enter the palace, Ah Bao was a little stunned, but because there were eunuchs in the Taihe Palace, he didn't dare to stay slow, so he hurriedly asked people to inform the divine doctor, and when he was ready for one or two, he changed into clothes that could see people, and finally entered the palace with the palace attendants.

Emperor Zhengde vomited blood and was in a coma for a few days, although he was rescued later, his health was not very good, intermittently, the prince recommended the doctor to enter the palace to treat Emperor Zhengde, and prescribed medicine to recuperate, and the effect was good. Emperor Zhengde had a heart of love for talent at that time, and wanted to summon the doctor to enter the hospital, without him passing the assessment of the hospital, and directly awarded him to be an official, but he didn't want to solve the doctor and resigned, and he was still nesting in the palace of the king of Jin. Because of this incident, Dr. Xie was not less annoyed by the descendants of the Xie family in Lingnan that he was stupid, did not want to forge ahead, revitalized the Xie family, and did not do anything with a good opportunity.

Therefore, the Doctor Xie is still a white body, and it stands to reason that there is nothing he can't easily enter the palace, unless he ......

Ah Bao's heart jumped, thinking of Emperor Zhengde's illness, is it very dangerous, and the imperial doctors are helpless, and they must be relieved of the divine doctor? It's good if the doctor is really rejuvenated, but Bao also vaguely heard the doctor reveal that Emperor Zhengde is seriously ill, and his health is not very good, if he is not good enough to give birth to the general, it is also a matter of a few years, is it only three years later, and the emperor's body is not good?

Thinking like this, Ah Bao couldn't help but feel a little numb in his scalp, worried that if the emperor had an accident, one would not make a good trouble, and the capital would not be safe. But he quickly comforted himself that the crown prince had been calm all these years, and he was the crown prince, if he really ascended the throne, it would be clear and straightforward, and the capital should not be able to make trouble.

Not long after Dr. Xie left, Ah Bao also quickly got the news, it turned out that Emperor Zhengde suddenly fell into a coma yesterday, and the emperor's illness was a big matter, because the palace blocked the news, and it was the news that people outside the palace could only learn about it a day or two late. Until this morning, seeing that those imperial doctors were helpless, the prince had no choice but to ask people to go to the Jin Palace's palace to call the doctor into the palace, pinning his hopes on the doctor and the doctor.

While Po was thinking wildly, those people in Kyori who learned that the emperor was sick were also like her, silently watching the palace with different thoughts.

In the palace, because Emperor Zhengde suddenly fell unconscious, he was also solemn.

The queen, the crown prince and the princes who learned the news all came to the palace and stayed in the palace, watching the doctor administer needles to the unconscious emperor. Everyone held their breath and stared intently, but there were a few people here who sincerely hoped that the emperor would be sober, and they didn't know.

Soon, Emperor Zhengde finally woke up, the doctor put away the silver needle, retreated to the side, and the princes led by the prince knelt in front of the bed, crying with joy, and calling their fathers and emperors in their mouths, with sincere feelings.

After Emperor Zhengde woke up, his eyes faintly looked at the faces of his sons in front of the bed, all of them were sad and cried with joy, but it was unknown whether this was the case in his heart. He waved his hand and said in a weak voice: "You all have hearts, I have woken up, let's go down, don't burn your body." ”

The crown prince had been in front of the bed for a day and a night, and now that Emperor Zhengde had woken up, he was relieved. Although the other princes came from outside the palace, they also stayed here for one night, and they were filial sons, and when they saw that the emperor asked them all to leave, they all asked him to take care of his health, and Fang left with the prince.

Seeing that the emperor was already awake, the queen asked the imperial doctor some words, told everyone in the palace to live and serve, and then left to go back to Fengxiang Palace to rest, and there were only a few imperial doctors and divine doctors left in the palace.

Soon, several imperial doctors also retreated outside, and in addition to Zhang Jie, the chief eunuch who was waiting, there was only one doctor in the palace.

"Doctor Jie, how is my body now?" Emperor Zhengde's voice was a little hoarse, and he was a little sluggish.

"If the emperor doesn't recuperate at ease, he may not survive for a year." Doctor Xie was blunt, although he was facing the emperor, he had dealt with Emperor Zhengde, and he knew that he left himself to listen to the truth, not to listen to the specious answers of those imperial doctors who wanted to save their lives.

Emperor Zhengde's face was a little gloomy, there was only one year, and there was not enough time! He hasn't avenged Ah Jing yet, and he hasn't watched the fall of Southern Qi and Daye's unification of the Central Plains.

"What if I recuperate in peace? How many years can it be delayed? Emperor Zhengde asked again.

Doctor Xie pondered for a long time and said, "Although the grass people can't guarantee it, it should be able to be postponed for a few more years." ”

After listening, Emperor Zhengde sighed, in fact, in the past year, his hands have not been very flexible, and his spirit has not continued, and he has felt difficult to review the folds, so he has no choice but to let go of the prince and help him review the folds. Fortunately, the prince was not delusional, filial piety and generosity, put him first in everything, and asked his opinion, which made him very satisfied.

After thinking about it, he asked people to go to the East Palace to call the prince over.

When the prince went back, he had just rested, and when he heard that the emperor had seen him, he hurriedly changed his clothes again, poured a cup of strong tea, and cheered up.

When the crown prince came, Emperor Zhengde fell into a coma again, until Zhang Jie called softly and opened his eyes faintly. After the prince asked for peace, he said directly: "Is there any news from the south?" ”

The prince said: "There is no news coming now, Erchen expects that the fifth brother of Qian'er and General Zheng won another battle, and Nanqi retreated for hundreds of miles and lost a few cities, I am afraid that Nanqi will not have the spare strength to deal with another war this year." In this way, the situation is good, and there is no need to worry. Speaking of this, the prince was slightly overjoyed.

Emperor Zhengde also had a little joy in his eyes, and after a moment of silence, Fang said: "Seeing that winter is coming, it is not appropriate to go to war, so I will call King Jin back for the New Year this year." ”

The crown prince was a little surprised, but he only thought that the emperor wanted to spend the New Year with his son. Thinking about it in a blink of an eye, anyway, Xiao Lingshu is only a position of supervising the army there, and he doesn't need to lead the troops to fight, General Zheng leads the army to garrison, and it doesn't matter if he comes back. However, in private, only the emperor and the crown prince know that Xiao Lingshu has made some secret arrangements in Jiangnan over the years, and it is even more convenient for him to go there.

In this way, the prince also nodded, and helped to draft the decree and summon Xiao Lingshu back.

At that time, although King Xian and others had not slept all night, Emperor Zhengde still got the news quickly when he announced that he saw the prince, and King Xian's face suddenly turned cold again.

It is said that the queen and Qi Guifei's mother's family are on par, and before they leave the cabinet, no one can suppress anyone's identity, but who knows that it was the daughter of the Jin family who was appointed as the crown princess by the first emperor, and Qi Guifei only became the prince's side concubine. King Xian holds his own status precious, as a prince, how can he have no thoughts about that son in his heart? It's just that the queen is pressing Qi Guifei, and the prince has been working hard for so many years, but his position is getting more and more stable, and he doesn't seem to be able to break it no matter what. Seeing that Emperor Zhengde's health is deteriorating, he doesn't know when Lu Dao will be gone, how not to make him anxious?

When they heard that the emperor had issued an edict announcing the return of King Jin, the courtiers were stunned, wondering if the emperor was unwilling to let his son be in danger and wanted to replace King Jin and send others over, so they couldn't help but stare at the emperor's actions. But they didn't want to have nothing else but this holy decree, and everyone couldn't help but wonder in their hearts.

Compared with these people's wonders, Ah Bao in the palace was overjoyed when he got the news, and asked Steward Liu, who came to report, and when he got a clear answer, he was so happy that he almost lost his temper, and he could only suppress it bitterly, until he returned to the room and saw the twins who were flipping through the literacy books she had drawn, and couldn't help but hold them into his arms.

"Bags, cakes, your father is coming back, are you happy?"

The twins haven't seen their father for a year and a half, because they are still young, they have cried a few times before, and then they slowly adapted to the days when their father was away, and at the same time, their impression of their father was a little lighter. Hearing Po say this at this time, the twins both smiled and cried out with joy.

On this day, knowing the news that the male owner of their palace was about to return, the whole palace was full of joy. Relatives and friends who have a good relationship with Ah Bao know the news, although they don't know what Emperor Lu Dao's move means, but they are also happy for Ah Bao and hope that their husband and wife will be reunited. And the king of Jin did not come back because of the defeat, he did not do anything wrong, and he was able to return to Beijing, which can be regarded as a happy event.

While Po was happy, the atmosphere in Kyori changed a little.

Emperor Zhengde has been recuperating for a month since he woke up from a coma, and his body has improved a little, although he looks a lot older, but as long as he lives well, even if the courtiers have any thoughts in their hearts, they can't reveal it. However, after Emperor Zhengde woke up, many political affairs were handed over to the crown prince to handle, and then a group of officials were promoted one after another, most of whom were related to King Xian and others.

The prince saw it in his eyes and remained silent. The Xianwang family was slightly overjoyed, although he didn't know what Emperor Zhengde meant, but he also knew that he was lifting his own family, how could he be unhappy? Only a few vicious-eyed ministers saw something and were shocked.

Although the virtuous king was clearly promoted, if those people were removed, someone could immediately replace them, and it would not affect the operation of the court at all, and if the crown prince ascended the throne, he could immediately control the situation, but there was no need to worry about causing any chaos.

King Xian has done things all these years with a virtuous character, but he has won the support of many people, but the prince is orthodox and has not been rejected by the emperor, and King Xian can't suppress the prince. If Emperor Zhengde used to balance the power of the crown prince and King Xian, then now he wants to quietly weaken the power of King Xian, change the crown prince, and even make him unable to threaten the prince anymore.

The old ministers who understood this suddenly had some understanding of the return of Emperor Xuanjin of Zhengde, but they knew the truth about this matter themselves, but they couldn't say it to anyone, just restrain the children in the family, do things in peace, and don't get involved with King Xian.

King Xian couldn't see the reason, and was triumphant, but Princess Xian was a little vigilant, silently recalling the difference between the previous life and this life, the previous life Emperor Zhengde promoted the King of Qi, but the most reluctant King Qi ended up like that, the new emperor ascended the throne, degraded the fief, and then died in the chaos on the road.

Princess Xian was shocked for a while, now the crown prince is valued by the emperor, and there is no intention of being deposed, the eldest princess who could have helped King Xian ascend the throne is still under house arrest in the princess's mansion, which has already made the world look down on her existence, and Jiang Lingwei is no longer the queen of the mandate of heaven approved by the monks...... Could it be that the fate of King Qi in the previous life will fall on King Xian in this life?

The more Princess Xian thought about it, the more shocked she became, now that she had both children and daughters, how could she be willing to end up like King Qi in her previous life, and she was busy looking for King Xian. It's just that she found King Xian, but she didn't know how Lu Dao told him in detail what she knew in her heart, and the things in the court were not clear to her knowledge, and she naturally couldn't see Emperor Zhengde's arrangement, and acted only on the memory of her previous life, how could King Xian listen to her?

"What are you going to say?" King Xian has been proud of the spring breeze recently, and he greets people with a smile, and he is with his wife and children.

Princess Xian was full of worries, and she didn't know what to say, so she only said: "Lord, the concubines always feel that the emperor has been promoting those officials too much recently, and the positions in the capital have been transferred very strangely. ”

King Xian listened and thought about it, although he was quite insightful, but he did not have the insight of those old foxes who had been in the court for decades, nor did he have Jiang Gui's nature, and he didn't know what hole cards Emperor Zhengde kept for the prince in his hand, so he naturally couldn't see anything unusual, and said with a smile: "Yue'er is too worried, my father is just promoting this king, and the other brothers are the same." ”

But there is a little pride in his heart, leaving aside the prince, King Qi may also see that something is wrong, and he has been jumping up and down recently, wanting to help the prince win over the power. King Xian couldn't help but sneer secretly, King Qi was a fool, he didn't deal with the prince in the early years, and he fought against the prince everywhere, but now he understands that the prince and himself are siblings, and they help each other everywhere.

The corners of Princess Xian's mouth twitched, and she didn't know how to persuade her, so she could only suppress her worries in her heart.

And King Qi, who made King Xian laugh at the fool, was eating fruit in the East Palace at this time, scolding King Xian for being a villain.

"My brother just can't get used to him putting on that virtuous face, just be his virtuous king, don't think that others are stupid, and can't see his purpose and ambition. If you are really so virtuous, then you should assist you well and do errands with your heart, how can anyone disturb the courtiers everywhere like him......"

The prince let him scold until he was almost done, and then said, "What are you doing with him?" You don't have to do any more useless work, just do your own thing. Seeing that winter is coming, this year's border salary is about to be prepared again, and I don't know how the heavy snow will be this year, and whether disaster relief is needed...... Hey, although the fifth brother was called back, it is estimated that he will have to go back to the south next year, so you should make some preparations. ”

Compared with the ignorant and unaware King Xian, the crown prince learned about King Jin's life experience from the queen, far more than others, and also knew that the meaning of Xiao Lingshu in their father's heart was not ordinary, so even if Xiao Lingshu was recalled to the capital, he was not too worried. And although King Xian has recently gained power, because of some of the wills of Emperor Zhengde, he is by his side, and soon, he figured out some things, which made him really a little surprised, for fear that their father and emperor would see something, so they had to put down other thoughts and behave no different from usual.

Hearing this, King Qi suddenly smiled and said, "It's good that the fifth brother is back, I haven't seen him for a long time, and when he comes back, I want to have a good drink and chat with him." ”

The prince couldn't help but wonder, Xiao Lingshu was a stuffy gourd, he didn't even like to talk, chatting with him was simply suffocating, and only King Qi didn't know where to send it, he could chatter at such a face, and he had forgotten the dirty disputes between the two when they were young.

But that's what he's happy to see.

*****

Two months have passed in a blink of an eye, and it has snowed in the capital, and the day when Xiao Lingshu returns to Beijing is getting closer and closer, making Ah Bao almost see through the autumn water.

Emperor Zhengde's will was issued in mid-September, and it would take about two months to go back and forth, so Xiao Lingshu returned to Beijing at least until mid-November, and the weather was already cold.

The four-year-old twins, dressed like two round rice balls, jumped in and ran in, startling the maids who followed them and told them to slow down so as not to slip. The twins ignored it, and when they came in, they saw Po sitting on the kang with a needle and thread embroidering a piece of clothing, and the twins hurriedly pounced.

"Mother, for the cake?" Sweet Cake asked, touching the navy blue bottom of the clothes.

"It's not!" Ah Bao patted his little head and said, "You can't wear such a large piece, so naturally it's not for you." ”

Sweet Cake pouted, "Cake will grow up, Cake Cake has eaten a lot recently, don't believe my sister!" Then he hurriedly grabbed her sister, who was drinking water, and almost made her spill the water in the cup.

Bao Bao glanced at his younger brother, and when Ah Bao looked at him with a smile, he said with a straight face: "My brother eats a lot, but not as much as me!" ”

Sweet Cake suddenly stopped talking, glared at her sister angrily, and got tired of Po again.

Seeing that the embroidery was almost done, Ah Bao put the needle and thread back into the sewing basket, let the maid take it down, and then carried a pair of children to the kang and said to them: "In a few days, your father will come back, be obedient, otherwise I won't let you see him!" ”

The two little guys have recently been instilled with a lot of "daddy is coming back" by Bao, and they didn't feel anything about it, but they ran to ask Steward Liu, and learned from Steward Liu that if their dad comes back, how can they take them to play, citing a lot of things about how to play with the twins when Xiao Lingshu was in the past, and the twins were very excited, and they were looking forward to their dad coming back.

At this time, when he heard Ah Bao ask, he nodded one after another, and then Sweet Cake said with some concern: "Will Daddy not recognize Cake Cake?" ”

Ah Bao pretended to think, and when he saw the ghost's son looking anxious, Fang said: "It depends on whether you are well-behaved or not, if you are well-behaved, you will naturally be able to recognize it." ”

Sweet cake is the most inherited from Bao's cheeky skin, and immediately puffed up his little chest and said: "Cake cake is the most well-behaved, better than my sister~~"

Ah Bao looked at his son, who was not ashamed of himself at all, and then looked at his daughter who was sitting calmly next to him eating fruit, and couldn't help but sigh at the different personalities of his children.

In this anticipation, Xiao Lingshu finally looked forward to returning to Beijing with his own soldiers.

Xiao Lingshu traveled day and night, although if he encountered a bad road on the road, or encountered heavy snow, he would choose the post house to rest, but he still came back in the wind and snow, and the image when he returned to Beijing was not very good.

Emperor Zhengde hadn't seen him for a year and a half, and he didn't look at him very seriously in the past, but at this time, he saw him dusty, his face was full of wind and frost, and he didn't feel a little stunned. When I didn't see him, I suddenly missed him tightly, but when I saw him, I didn't know what to say.

Xiao Lingshu saluted directly, and then sat down in front of the emperor, and the father and son were speechless until the prince got the news and broke the silence.

"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Xiao Lingshu had to kneel down and say goodbye.

The prince directly helped him up, examined his face, but a smile appeared on his face, and said, "Fifth brother doesn't need to be polite, you are very happy to return safely." ”

Xiao Lingshu nodded, "The younger brother is fine, after receiving the holy decree, he handed over some affairs with General Zheng, and then came back immediately." ”

The brothers spoke together, and the atmosphere was harmonious. Emperor Zhengde looked at it and was satisfied, the prince was generous and benevolent, loved his younger brothers and sisters, and even after he ascended the throne, he would treat his brothers well, which was exactly what he was happy to see.

After the prince and Xiao Lingshu chatted a few words, Xiao Lingshu talked about business, but Emperor Zhengde and the prince were shocked.

"Is the Emperor of Southern Qi ill? Can the message be accurate? Emperor Zhengde almost held his breath, his hands clenched unconsciously, and his muscles were unconsciously exposed.

Xiao Lingshu said: "Although Nanqi is tightly concealed, the spies still found out. The prince of Southern Qi is dead, the emperor of Southern Qi has no new prince, and the rest of the princes are all fighting openly and secretly for the position of prince. ”

After hearing this, Emperor Zhengde sneered, he was also an emperor, how could he not understand the thoughts of Emperor Nanqi? None of those princes are good, Lao Tzu is not dead yet, they are all staring at the position under the buttocks, is there a forced palace in the next moment? If you can't complain, you will vomit blood in anger, this is retribution!

Xiao Lingshu handed over a few more secret folds and reported to them that the wars against Southern Qi for more than a year were all small-scale wars, with losses and wins, but there were many wins on Daye's side. Until this summer, taking advantage of the drought in Southern Qi again, he sent troops against Southern Qi and won several beautiful battles.

The emperor and the crown prince have already learned from the good news, and now they feel happy when they hear it again, and they even wish that Nanqi would make trouble for a few more years and create opportunities for them, although they have suffered the people, but they are helpless.

Xiao Lingshu soon left, leaving the crown prince and Emperor Zhengde to continue their discussions.

Out of the palace gate, Xiao Lingshu went directly to the house, who knew that on the way, he met King Qi who came to look for him, but he didn't pay attention to it, sent it away directly, and continued to go back to the house.
