Chapter Ninety-Six: She Only Wants Him to Be Herself

readx;?β€œ What's up? ”

Hearing the little girl spit out the word "bizarre", the curious cells in Xun Jiu's body boiled. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

If...... If she can find out the real reason for Bai Saburo's "happy pulse", it may have a role in advancing the entire case.

Zhao Tong lowered his voice and asked, "The girl knows the female marquis, so do you know how the female marquis's title came about?" ”

Xun Jiu quickly searched in his mind about the life and deeds of Tao Yaoyao's late father Tao Guangen, and after a while, he said quietly: "I have heard that Tao Guangen, the former Marquis of Pingyang, died of an epidemic when he followed the first emperor to tour the coastal countries. ”

"Does that girl know what the rumored 'epidemic' of the former Pingyang Hou is, and what are the symptoms?" Zhao Tong looked at Xun Jiu with soothing eyes, and there seemed to be urgency on his face.

Xun Jiu shook his head, "Since it is an epidemic, with the current medical conditions, it is normal to die if it cannot be cured." ”

"But in fact, the first emperor concealed most of the facts." Zhao Tong lowered his eyelashes, his face was gloomy, and he said for a long time: "The former Pingyang Hou's illness is extremely strange, all the doctors who have seen it say that it is a happy pulse, and Pingyang Hou himself has a strong stomach. At that time, the first emperor placed him in a sparsely populated house, during which he invited different doctors to see, and all the doctors came to one conclusion when they saw the belly of Pingyang Hou, coupled with the comparison of the pulse, they all came to one conclusion - happy pulse. The first emperor was furious and killed all those doctors, and then no one dared to see the former Pingyang Marquis until he died of pain. ”

Xun Jiu's breath was tight, could it be that there is really a saying that a man is pregnant in this time and space?

Zhao Tong said again: "It is said that the mother of the female marquis, Qin, became depressed because she couldn't stand the sudden death of the former Pingyang Marquis, but in fact, she knew the real cause of the death of the former Pingyang Marquis-Ximai. This is the reason for her depression. ”

There is a precedent?!

Xun Jiu's face was full of doubts, "How did you know?" ”

Zhao Tong said truthfully: "Because back then, the slave's uncle was one of the doctors who saw the former Pingyang Marquis, and when he saw that all the doctors who said that Ximai had been killed, he didn't dare to repeat the mistakes of the past, and told a lie that the Hou Ye was suffering from an incurable disease, and he needed to go back to read the medical book, and the emperor allowed it." When the uncle returned, he told the slave and maid what he had seen and heard, and he seemed to expect that he would also be killed because of this incident, so he instructed the slave and maid that in time, he must learn the medical skills and find out the real cause of the 'happy pulse' for him. ”

Without waiting for Xun Jiu to speak, Zhao Tong continued: "What's even more bizarre is that it didn't take long for the people in that village to be diagnosed one after another with 'happy pulse', at that time, the former Pingyang Marquis had already passed away, and the first emperor also returned to the capital. The slave and maid escaped at that time, and in a hurry, they didn't have time to bring anything, and in the end they could only live on the streets. ”

Xun Jiu's eyebrows moved, if Tao Guangen was the only one who was diagnosed with a happy pulse, then she might still think that it was really an incurable disease or a bizarre and mysterious thing, but if everyone in a village was diagnosed with a happy pulse, then ......

Thinking of this, Xun Jiu raised his head, his eyes were already very clear, and asked her: "Did the village you mentioned have a flood before the first emperor went?" ”

"How does the girl know?" Zhao Tong opened his mouth in surprise, "When the first emperor came back from his tour of the coastal vassal states, he passed through Quanlin Village, Cangwu Town, Xindu County, and there was indeed a small flood in that place not long ago. ”

"That's right!" Xun Jiu Taohua's eyes shone with even more confidence, "Let me ask you again, after the first emperor set fire to the village, will no one be diagnosed with the happy pulse again?" ”

"It should ...... Right! Zhao Tong carefully considered, "The slave and maid had escaped at that time, although I don't know if there was any more, but if there were, this matter would have spread all over the world, but in fact, there were no rumors, so it can be seen that there was no 'happy pulse' later." ”

"Hmm." Xun Jiu nodded, "I know what's going on with that 'Ximai'. ”

Zhao Tong was shocked, "Aunt...... The girl doesn't need to check the pulse, just listen to what the slave maid says? ”

"It's a water problem." Xun Jiu's eyes were cold, and he said helplessly: "After the flood, the local water will breed snails, especially rivers and streams, once someone drinks that kind of water, the schistosomes in the snails will enter the inner abdomen along the human intestines, thereby destroying the liver, once the liver is cirrhostic, there will be symptoms such as hydroperitoneum, string slippery pulse, big belly is because of ascites, and happy pulse is because of string slippery pulse." ”

Exhaling lightly, Xun Jiu concluded, "So, the real reason why the former Pingyang Hou and the people in that village are pregnant as you mentioned are that they suffered from schistosomiasis cirrhosis, which led to a slippery pulse and was misdiagnosed as a happy pulse. Later, the first emperor ordered the village to be burned, precisely because all the snails in the river were burned to death, so there was no bizarre 'man pregnant' from then on. ”

When Xun Jiu said this, he suddenly fell into deep thought.

When the first emperor toured the coastal vassal states, Xun Qian seemed to follow, and during that time, the mother didn't seem to be there, in short, she was the only one in the house.

She also vaguely remembered that her father and mother came back together and brought her a lot of gifts, but she never mentioned it.

Probably because the first emperor issued a ban prohibiting anyone from mentioning it, so Xun Qian didn't say it?

Zhao Tong listened to her analysis, his little face was wonderful, and he was amazed and surprised, "Girl, you are too godly, this incident caused a lot of sensation in the area of Quanlin Village at that time, if it wasn't for the ban issued by the first emperor, I am afraid that there will be an uproar at that time, and the slave maid has always thought that it was a demon who is doing it, but I didn't expect the girl to be erudite, and she actually revealed the truth in one sentence after three years today, ouch, this is really amazing." ”

Xun Jiu smiled indifferently, what is this, there are more strange illnesses in the previous life.

It's just that after this incident, it shows that there was a precedent for a man to be diagnosed with a happy pulse three years ago, so ...... Is Bai Saburo's "happy pulse" also a liver problem?

After some thoughts, Xun Jiu had almost locked on several diseases that Bai Saburo might suffer from and appear "happy pulse", and completely denied the "happy pulse".

If you want to know more about Bai Saburo, you can only wait for another day to visit the blind old man Yan of "Beauty Debt".

After making up her mind, Xun Jiu's whole person relaxed a lot, and chatted with Zhao Tong for a while before arriving at her mansion.

This night, Xun Jiu went to bed early after bathing, and got up early the next morning, and accompanied Zhaotong to the market to buy vegetables when he had nothing to do, only to hear that the king of Qin issued an edict on behalf of the empress last night to go to Chu State, the purpose of which was to let the Marquis of Chu Jin enter Beijing to report on his work.

Chu is the closest Hou State to Yanjing among the six countries, and it can be reached in half a day.

Xun Jiu squinted his eyes after hearing the news.

Fu Sheng had just used a trick to rob all the jade jewelry carved by Chu and sold overseas, how could he let the Marquis of Chu Jin enter Beijing?

After noon, Xun Jiu followed the rule of "one diagnosis every three days" and went to the emperor's bedroom in the carriage that came to greet him in the palace.

The empress applied a little powder today, the pale color on her face was hidden, and the whole person looked better than the previous two days.

Xun Jiu still sat on the side of the dragon couch to ask for her pulse.

The empress seems to have changed her opinion of Xun Jiu since the conversation in Shangyong County, and the last few invitations to the pulse are not as resistant as before, and they are extremely quiet.

The symptoms are still the same, but the things in the abdominal cavity have stopped after an attack, Xun Jiu didn't dare to mention any words about laparotomy in front of the empress, so he only re-prescribed the prescription and added a few flavors of medicine to the original one.

As for the effect, it is naturally not big, and the prescription is just to reassure the palace eunuchs and the officials of the foreign courts, and it plays a psychological role.

After finishing the matter, Xun Jiu was about to retire, when the empress suddenly spoke, "I heard that you have a shop in Xicheng?" ”

Xun Jiu knew that he couldn't hide this from the empress, so he had to say truthfully in a calm tone: "Back to Your Majesty, it was not a gift from the people's daughter, but a gift from His Royal Highness the King of Qin." ”

The empress didn't show much surprise, and asked her with a look of understanding, "Then what do you want to do?" ”

Xun Jiu replied slowly: "The folk girl understands medicine, and she wants to open a pharmacy to sit in person, but because of her father's affairs before, her reputation is there, and even if the folk girl's medical skills are exquisite, she is afraid that she will not be able to recruit a few patients, so the folk girl wants to do something else." ”

At the mention of Xun Qian, the empress's face was a little ugly, and after a moment, she looked at Xun Jiu seriously, "The silver for a month of sitting as a doctor is less than half of the silver of the house doctor of the family, your ability, I can also see it with my own eyes, if you really want to practice medicine, I will make you a 'royal doctor', give you a gold medal for free entry and exit of the palace, and how about seeing me alone?" ”

Xun Jiu was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you must not!" ”

"Oh?" The empress was surprised by her reaction, "Don't you want to?" ”

"It's not that the women don't want to." Xun Jiu said: "But I can't afford this title." ”

The Empress was silent, as if waiting for her to explain.

Xun Jiu pondered the words, "First, if it weren't for the golden book and iron coupon on the ancestor, the people's daughter would have become a dead soul under the knife because of her father's sin. Moreover, for the matter of the people's daughter entering the palace to see His Majesty, the hundred officials have been complaining, and His Royal Highness the King of Qin has been suppressing it, if His Majesty gives the title of the people's daughter again, once the courtiers question it and talk about the father, whether it is His Royal Highness the King of Qin or Your Majesty, you will feel embarrassed on both sides. Second, Your Majesty's current symptoms, the people can't share your worries, so they can't afford the word 'royal product'. ”

When the empress heard this, instead of being angry, she chuckled lowly.

Xun Jiu felt inexplicable.

"I always felt that Zichu's vision would not be wrong." When the empress looked at Xun Jiu again, there was more appreciation in her eyes, "You really ...... is a wonderful person with a clear mind, not only outstanding appearance, superb medical skills, but even speaking, the proportion is just right, so that people can't find half of the mistakes. ”

Xun Jiu's eyes drooped slightly, "Your Majesty praises falsely." ”

"Alright." The Empress waved her hand, "I know that the so-called 'second' you just now is forcing me to undergo the laparotomy you mentioned, but I have already said earlier that it is okay to diagnose the pulse, but I will not accept any surgical treatment." ”

"Your Majesty, aren't you worried about too much pain?" Xun Jiu raised his eyelashes, and his tone was cautious.

The empress smiled at the corner of her mouth, "You should just think that I am afraid of pain." ”

The refusal in and out of the words was as obvious as ever, Xun Jiu could hear that the empress seemed to have something unspeakable, so she simply stopped being forced in disguise, and stood up to retire.

"Wait!" The Empress suddenly called her.

Xun Jiu looked stunned, thinking that the empress had a sudden change in temperament and was ready to do something to her. But he never thought that a voice came from the dragon couch, "Zi Chu is now in the Fengtian Palace, and he has summoned a hundred officials to prepare to meet the Marquis of Chu Jin, you just sit here and talk to me for a while, and after the court is dispersed for a while, I will ask Hua Rou to summon Zi Chu to come and pick you up from the palace together." ”

Xun Jiu was stunned.

The empress motioned for Gong E to come and serve tea to Xun Jiu and sent them out, before she said slowly: "If my lifespan has been determined, then before death comes, I hope to see Zi Chu happy, at least he should have someone by his side." ”

Hearing this sentence, the tip of Xun Jiu's nose was a little sour, she was not sympathetic to the empress, but moved by the empress's affection for Fusheng.

I have never seen the emperor obstruct marriage because of his identity and scruples about hundreds of officials, but like the empress, because she absolutely trusts her younger brother and disregards the officials and the people's rhetoric, she wants to promote a marriage, Xun Jiu is the first time to see her.

Seeing that she was stunned, the empress hurriedly said: "You are not allowed to shed tears in my palace, I am the most unsightly to cry, especially women, what do you look like when you cry?" ”

Xun Jiuyuan didn't think about crying, but when the empress said this, he sneered, "Your Majesty is right, the tears of the daughter's family are expensive, how can they fall easily?" ”

A few words made the distance between the two a lot closer, and Xun Jiu could be considered to have figured it out, as long as he didn't mention caesarean section and Xun Qian in front of the empress, in addition, the empress didn't mind at all if she occasionally made some small jokes.

The flower resin in the outer hall with a group of palace eunuchs heard the faint sound of laughter inside, and the whole person was stunned.

They have been serving in the palace for so long, how could they ever see such a laughing empress?

In their impressions, the empress is ruthless, has a perverse temperament, and likes to kill people if something goes wrong, for such a long time, the only person who can make the empress soft is His Royal Highness King Qin, but they didn't expect that Miss Jiu could also attract Her Majesty the Empress to be so happy?

Like the flower resin, the other palace people and eunuchs were all at a loss after hearing the laughter in the inner hall, and at the same time understood one thing - Miss Jiu's ability should not be underestimated.

After the sigh, everyone admired Xun Jiu in their hearts.

Tianci Palace Fengtian Temple.

After receiving the holy decree, the Marquis of Chu Jin, who hurried to Yanjing with his entourage, got the news in advance and knew that the empress and the king of Qin were about to be furious because he had let people mine jade in Taihe Mountain without permission, so he wittily prepared a "letter of guilt" to be presented to Fusheng first.

The lord of the Chu State, who was nearly fifty years old, tied the thorns that had been prepared on his back as soon as he entered the palace gate, and began from the dragon tail road outside the Fengtian Palace, knelt down the steps, and recited the contents of the guilty book word for word in front of the Praetorian Guards on both sides and the hundred officials in the palace.

During the period, he spoke earnestly and tearfully expressed that the whole country fell into famine because of a snowstorm a year ago, and in desperation, he had the courage to let the countrymen mine jade on Her Majesty's territory and sell it overseas in exchange for money and grain.

The Marquis of Chu Jin, who was guilty of pleading so much that his back was covered with blood, had a very upright attitude, a very humble attitude, a very tactful tone, and a very moving cry, which moved several old ministers in the palace to tears, and almost wanted to stand up and speak for Chu State.

Fu Sheng listened quietly, didn't say a word, and the emotions on his face were uncertain, and no one could see what he was planning.

The old ministers who were about to stand up silently retracted their feet, swallowed the words into their stomachs, hung their heads and pricked up their ears.

Tan Tai Yin looked at Chu Jinhou who was kneeling up the steps, the corners of his mouth hooked unexpectedly, and he raised his eyes to look at Fu Sheng, as if he was looking forward to how he would solve Chu Jinhou's "blame and self-blame" of playing the sympathy card.

Two days ago, she got a secret report, saying that the King of Qin personally invited the pirates of Ice and Fire Bay to rob all the goods sold overseas by the Chu State.

But what she didn't expect was that Chu Jinhou would take the guilty letter to bear the guilt!

This unexpected move made the company a little messy.

After Fu Sheng listened to Chu Jinhou's tears, he let out a soft "um" in his nose.

The old ministers who had been in the officialdom for many years and had dealt with His Royal Highness the King of Qin, who had thunderous means, and had actual combat experience, hurriedly and wittily thought about the meaning of this "um" in their hearts, so that they could quickly deal with it later.

Fu Sheng didn't look at everyone, his eyes swept away, and he directly fixed on the high priest Tai Yin, and said seriously: "Taihe Mountain is a feng shui treasure land personally surveyed by the patriarch of the Wu clan, and the hanging coffin of Chong'an Guijun is also hung by the people of the Taitai family in person, speaking of which, the Wu clan has a deep relationship with Taihe Mountain, and now that the Chu State has moved to Taihe Mountain, how does the high priest think this matter should be solved?" ”

As soon as she felt a sigh in her heart, she knew it...... King Qin will definitely throw this hot potato to her.

Reluctantly smiling slightly, Yutai said: "Taihe Mountain is bounded by an Amber River with the State of Chu, that area is the scope of Her Majesty's rule, and there is the soul of the noble monarch of Chong'an, Zhenshan, the Marquis of Chu Jin's private move to dig jade is undoubtedly an offense to my Dayan divine power and land rights, do not put the Lord of the Six Kingdoms Her Majesty in your eyes, according to the law of Dayan, those who do not submit can take their titles and accept their feudal countries, if there are disobedient people, they will be dispatched to fight against them." ”

The Wang Division was the highest-ranking army of the Great Yan Imperial Court, and it was not easy to dispatch unless it was a big war.

Originally, the matter of Chu Jinhou digging jade without permission was not as serious as that as Shantai said, but she emphasized that Chu Jinhou had offended the theocracy, so the seriousness of this matter had to be re-examined.

After all, the current concept of "divine authority of kings" is deeply ingrained in the hearts of all people, first there is divine power, and then there is monarchical power.

Once the divine right is violated, it is against the heavens, against the gods.

The seriousness of his guilt is too serious to be taken lightly.

When Chu Jinhou heard this, his complexion changed in an instant.

After an instant, he returned to normal, standing outside the hall with the thorn strip on his back and quietly waiting for the King of Qin, who was temporarily the empress to supervise the country, to speak.

There were some courtiers of the Six Kingdoms in the court, and the Marquis of Chu Jin believed that with his plan of "guilty self" in front of him, the King of Qin would not dare to punish him according to the high priest's words.

After all, last year's snow disaster in Chu was a matter for all to see, and if the King of Qin ignored his "guilty book" and punished him on a large scale, it would surely chill the courtiers of the six countries, and then produce a sense of anger against the enemy, causing an uproar.

Fu Sheng fell into deep thought after listening to the words of the company.

When most of the courtiers saw this, they were also silenced.

The great priest, who has always been most sympathetic to the people's livelihood and suffering, stood up with a jade wat in his hand, "The old minister thinks that the high priest's words are wrong. ”

Tan Tai raised his eyebrows, "What do you think of Da Sikong?" ”

Da Sikong stroked his beard slowly and methodically, and said, "Last year, the snow disaster in Chu State, the people had a famine, and starvation was everywhere, although Her Majesty the Empress had ordered the Chu State to be exempted from paying tribute for a year, but after that heavy snowfall, the Chu State suffered heavy losses, and the snow melted and flooded in the spring, which can be described as a continuous natural disaster. The heavens have the virtue of a good life, and the gods hanging high above the nine heavens must not want to see the people complain. Therefore, Chu should not be severely punished at this time, otherwise it will definitely cause resentment among the people. ”

Tai Yin frowned, and said unhappily: "Da Sikong is very articulate, and in a few words, he will devalue the divine power and devalue this seat to nothing, Taihe Mountain is the ruling scope of Her Majesty the Empress Not to mention for the time being, that place is still the place where the coffin of the noble monarch of Chong'an is hanged, since the Chu State knows, and continues to open the mountain without repentance, this is not a contempt for divine power, what is it to step on the imperial power?" If this can be tolerated, then tonight this seat also asked a few beggars to build a house on the ancestral grave of Da Sikong's family, under the banner of not having enough food and clothing, can Da Sikong tolerate it by the way for the sake of the child's pity? ”

"You!" Da Sikong choked, his whole face turned into pig liver, and in a fit of anger, he almost pulled off his gray beard.

"The state has its own laws, and the family has its own rules." The chief priest in charge of the criminal and prison proceedings said slowly: "The disaster of the Chu State came first, and the imperial court also attached great importance to it and made corresponding adjustments to the tribute. But the state of Chu has to make inches, and it is greedy for the Taihe Mountain, which is directly under the jurisdiction of Her Majesty the Empress, to mine without saying hello, which is disloyal and unjust. ”

The courtiers of the six kingdoms all bowed their heads and were silent. After all, this time it was indeed the Chu State that was at the expense first, and no one who came out with a lotus tongue could escape the article of "despising divine power and imperial power".

Seeing that Fu Sheng didn't speak, Da Sikong continued to make his compassionate remarks.

Da Sikong is a veteran of the two dynasties, and there are many protΓ©gΓ©s, and several upstarts in the court were brought out by him.

So, as soon as Da Sikong's voice fell, all the young officials stood up to speak.

The theocratic faction led by the Tai Yin naturally refused to accept it.

So, the two sides began to fight, and the entire Fengtian Temple was like a vegetable market.

Fu Sheng pinched his eyebrows, and motioned to the little eunuch standing next to him to take the holy decree that had been prepared early in the morning and open it.

The little eunuch ignored the group of old ministers who were fighting, and shouted loudly: "Her Majesty the Empress has a will-"

When everyone heard this, they hurriedly returned to their original positions, hulala, knelt down in the dust, and shouted long live the empress.

Only Fu Sheng and Yu Tai Yin stood aside and bowed slightly.

The little eunuch recited aloud: "Fengtian carrier, the empress edict said: The snow disaster in the last year of the Chu State led to countless deaths and injuries among the people, and the harvest was sharply reduced. ”

Before the little eunuch's voice fell, Yutai Yin's face changed first, and Huo Ran looked up at Fu Sheng, with a dangerous light in his eyes.

The state of Chu is so unscrupulous, the king of Qin actually asked the empress to include Taihe Mountain in the section of the state of Chu?

Isn't this equivalent to indirectly giving Taihe Mountain and the jade on the mountain to the Marquis of Chujin?

The ministers were even more dizzy by this holy decree, and they couldn't tell whether it was a dream or a reality for a while.

The state of Chu is so arrogant, the empress even wants to give Taihe Mountain to the Marquis of Chujin?

The most important thing is that this holy decree was tacitly approved by King Qin?!

Lord Dazai, the head of the hundred officials, seems to have seen the first emperor who bowed to the Wei State and sent Rui Guifei as a hostage.

Without waiting for his old man to speak, Yutai Yin stood up first and said sharply: "This holy decree, this seat is not convinced!" ”

King Qin just said that the Wu clan has a relationship with Taihe Mountain, and in a blink of an eye, he gave Taihe Mountain to the Marquis of Chujin, isn't this a naked slap in the face?

As soon as he thought of the honor of the family and the heavy responsibility on his shoulders, he felt that his anger was hard to extinguish, this time King Qin deceived people too much!

The theocratic officials immediately stepped forward to echo the high priest.

The big commoners praised Her Majesty for loving the lives of the people and being sensitive to the people's concerns.

The little eunuch was stunned by the reaction of the hundred officials and froze in place.

Fu Sheng didn't speak, motioning for him to continue reading.

Clearing his throat, the little eunuch continued to say in a loud voice: "I have sent scouts to reconnoiter earlier, Taihe Mountain is rich in jade, mainly jade and purple jade, after Taihe Mountain is included in the Chu State section, according to the regulations, a thousand catties of jade should be paid to the imperial court every year, however, I Nian was affected by the disaster in the Chu State last year, and the disaster was serious, so this edict is hereby issued, stating that in the future, the thousand catties of jade in the Chu State will be changed to a one-zhang high jade Guanyin and a pair of seven-foot purple jade cranes every year. ”

As the little eunuch's voice fell, there was a sound of a person falling to the ground outside the Fengtian Palace.

The ministers followed the prestige, only to see that the face of the Marquis of Chu Jin was pale and gray, obviously so angry that he almost vomited blood.

King Qin's trick of "giving a sweet date and slapping it again" can be said to be used perfectly, without any flaws.

In the eyes of outsiders, the King of Qin and the Empress were indeed compassionate and sympathetic to the serious disaster of the Chu State, and specially divided the Taihe Mountain, a place rich in jade, to the Chu State to solve the urgent need.

But in fact, due to the frenzied mining some time ago, there was not much jade left on Taihe Mountain, and all the goods that went out a few days ago were robbed by pirates, and the Chu State suffered serious losses. Now it is necessary to pay a pair of one-zhang high jade Guanyin and seven-foot purple jade cranes to the imperial court every year.

In other words, in addition to consuming a lot of jade materials, Chu Jinhou also had to search for skilled craftsmen all over the world to create these two things.

In this way, it is estimated that the jade dug up on Taihe Mountain every year can only create these two tributes, and even if it is not enough, Chu Jinhou has to pay for it himself.

How did this make Chu Jinhou happy?

Thinking about all this, he suddenly laughed.

Although she was very dissatisfied with King Qin's slap in the face of the Wu clan, she still had to admit in her heart that King Qin's plan was brilliant.

It seems to be a reward, but it is actually ripping the heart of Chu Jinhou.

The courtiers who reacted were all silent, and silently praised King Qin in their hearts, and those who didn't react only thought that the Marquis of Chu Jin was overjoyed and fainted.

After dealing with the affairs of the Marquis of Chujin and dispersing the court, the flower resin of the emperor's dormitory hurriedly came, saw Fu Sheng, and said softly after saluting respectfully: "Your Highness, Her Majesty the Empress asked the slave maid to summon you to the emperor's dormitory. ”

Fu Sheng's eyes shrank, "But Her Majesty's illness has flare-up?" ”

"It's not." Hua Rou thought of the empress and Miss Jiu laughing together, and couldn't help but say happily: "Miss Jiu is in the emperor's bedroom." ”

Hearing that Xun Jiu was also there, Fu Sheng's tense complexion eased instantly, and his eyebrows and eyes quickly crawled with warmth and softness, and he said kindly: "You go back first, and this king will arrive later." ”

"Yes." The resin bowed again.

After processing the documents on the imperial case, Fu Sheng stood up and slowly walked out of the Fengtian Hall towards the emperor's bedroom.

When he arrived at the emperor's bedroom, he gave the empress a salute according to the courtier's courtesy.

Knowing that King Qin was coming, the female accountant had already put down the silk yarn on Chengchen.

Although through the curtain, Xun Jiu, who was sitting at the head of the empress, could still clearly see Fu Sheng's figure.

"Zi Chu, has the matter of Chu Jinhou been resolved?" The empress asked.

"Your Majesty rest assured." Fu Sheng said lightly: "I believe that after this incident, for a long time in the future, the Chu State will not dare to make a big move." ”

The Empress nodded in satisfaction, "That's fine." ”

After that, the empress's eyes swept over Xun Jiu, her phoenix eyes moved slightly, and she said to Fu Sheng: "You are also tired for a day, go back with Miss Jiu." ”

There was a moment of surprise on Fu Sheng's calm face.

Then, he asked a few words about the empress's physical condition, and then took Xun Jiu out of the emperor's bedroom.

"Her Majesty seems to be in a good mood today?" Fu Sheng turned his head to look at Xun Jiu, and saw that the other party was ruddy, and there was a cunning light in his narrow peach blossom eyes all the time, thinking that he had not received any anger from the empress. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Are you worried about me?" Xun Jiu raised his eyebrows and looked at Fu Sheng.

Fu Sheng shook his head amusedly, "I should be worried about whether Her Majesty the Empress will be angry with you." ”

"How can I have such a poisonous tongue as you?" Xun Jiu pursed his lips and asked again: "Yesterday you said that you left one last move for Chu Jinhou, did it play a role today?" I'll hear it. ”

Fusheng Wan'er told Xun Jiu everything that happened in the Fengtian Hall in great detail.

After listening, Xun Jiu's mouth opened wide in surprise, and he said angrily: "You are too black-hearted, every year there is a one-zhang-high Jade Guanyin, and a pair of seven-foot-tall purple jade cranes, it is estimated that Chu Jinhou will be busy creating these two things for you in this life." ”

At the end, Xun Jiu added, "But it is also said that the Marquis of Chujin deserves it, he was so arrogant before, relying on someone behind him who didn't take you seriously, and now the 'Lord' doesn't know where he was sent, I believe that he can't come back in a short time, if no one helps him with advice, he will be hit hard this time, and it is estimated that it will take a long time to ease down." ”

"Just right, I'm relieved too." Fu Sheng smiled lightly, "After receiving that person from the Wei State, I will go out to find a dead man for you to practice, Her Majesty's illness can no longer be delayed." ”

When Xun Jiu heard him say this, he immediately felt distressed, "What do you call a sigh of relief, just after dealing with the Marquis of Chujin, I will soon receive the envoys of the Wei State, and I have to accompany me out to find a dead man to practice." Her Majesty said that during this period of illness, you have to deal with everything yourself, you are not tired, I think about it is tired. ”

"I can't help it." Fu Sheng stretched out his hand and gently scraped the tip of her nose, "This country must be guarded by someone, and I must always maintain the highest level of vigilance in order not to be taken advantage of by the enemy." ”

Xun Jiu looked at him distressedly, "The few days I spent on the island with me, was it the most leisurely time in your life?" ”

Fu Sheng smiled faintly and did not answer.

Xun Jiu saw that he was acquiescing like this, and felt even more distressed, his eyes turned red in a trance, one hand hugged his waist tightly, buried his head in his chest, and pointed to his heart with the other hand, and said in a hoarse voice: "Stupid, you work so hard, it makes me feel so painful here." ”

Fu Sheng's body froze, looking down at the person in her arms, she couldn't hold back her tears almost instantly, her voice trembled, and even her shoulders trembled slightly, but she insisted on not making a sound for him to hear.

Reaching out and touching Xun Jiu's head, Fu Sheng chuckled, "Why are you sentimental today?" ”

"Ignore me, let me cry at once!" Xun Jiu smacked him angrily, his head still buried in his chest.

Fu Sheng could vaguely feel the placket on his chest soaked with her tears.

Xun Jiu didn't care that this was the palace, let alone the strange eyes of the palace eunuchs who passed by, he just buried his head in his chest, wanting to squander his tears at once.

In her previous life, she had never cried for a man, but she didn't expect that the first time she cried in this life was because she felt sorry for this man's hard work, the burden on his shoulders, and the injustice of fate.

If he hadn't been born into the royal family, if they could have stayed away from so many intrigues and tricks, how good it would be!

But as soon as she remembered that he had even stolen the free time to hide on an uninhabited island to heal, she felt a pain in her heart one after another.

Who said that he who is under one person and above ten thousand people is powerful and worshiped by all the people?

Who said that born in the royal brocade clothes and jade food, the glory and wealth are endless?

What she wants is never his monstrous power, not his glory and wealth, and not the vanity of being envied by women all over the world by his side.

She asked him to let go of his calculations, his plans, his guards, and just be himself.

She was willing to be a flower blooming in the dust, waiting for him to look back and turn around, just to brush away the tiredness from the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.

I don't know how long it took, and Xun Jiu's sobbing voice gradually stopped.

Fu Sheng lowered her head again, and found that she had fallen asleep crying in his arms at some point.

Shaking his head amusedly, Fu Sheng gently turned sideways and picked her up, slowly walking towards the palace gate.

The sharp-eyed little eunuch came over and whispered, "His Royal Highness King Qin, do you want the slave to arrange a soft chariot?" ”

"Not necessarily." Fu Sheng said in a low voice: "It's not yet time for the palace gate to drop the key, so I'll just walk out with her in my arms." ”

The little eunuch walked away with great interest.

Feeling the person in his arms rubbing uneasily into his arms, Fu Sheng's walking movements became more and more gentle and cautious, and he also felt depressed when he saw that her curly and slender eyelashes were still stained with a little crystal tears.

Sighing slightly, Fu Sheng continued to carry her forward.

Back in the carriage, Fu Sheng carefully put Xun Jiu on the wide seat and lay down, ready to let her sleep well, but he didn't want to move, but woke her up.

Looking at the surroundings blankly, Xun Jiu was shocked to realize that he was crying in Fu Sheng's arms...... Asleep?!

So just now, he carried himself back to the carriage?

The corners of his mouth twitched, Xun Jiu hurriedly covered his face with both hands, embarrassed to look at Fusheng again.

Fu Sheng smiled dumbly, "The way you cry, the sleeping position after crying, I have seen it all, and now I am covering my face, it seems to be a little late." ”

"And that's not because of you!" Xun Jiu glanced at him, feeling too embarrassed in his heart, why was she by his side every time she was embarrassed?!

I happened to meet him at Menarche, and when he was stolen by a monkey on the island, he was also bumped into him, and he looked at him again when he cried in his arms and fell asleep just now.

The more Xun Jiu thought about it, the more embarrassed he felt, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt as if he was being burned by fire.

Covering his face but couldn't help but peek at him, seeing that he was also looking at himself, Xun Jiu's heart beat wildly, and he quickly lowered his head.

Fu Sheng pinched his eyebrows and asked softly, "Are you in a better mood now?" ”

"Almost." Xun Jiu took a long breath, calmed down, told him what happened in the emperor's bedroom just now, and finally said: "Originally, Her Majesty the Empress asked me to be her exclusive 'imperial doctor', but now I have changed my mind. ”

"Oh?" The corners of Fu Sheng's eyes swept over, and he was slightly puzzled, "Why?" ”

Xun Jiu raised his head and stared at the roof of the carriage, refusing to admit it, and snorted lightly, "How good is the position of the imperial doctor, and there is also the gold medal given by the emperor to enter and leave the palace at will, and he has the power and money, so fools don't do it." ”

Fu Sheng was amused by her duck-beaked behavior, and chuckled, "Then why were you willing to be a fool in the Emperor's Bedroom just now?" ”

"You're a fool!" Xun Jiu cursed in a low voice, if it wasn't for the sake of helping him share his worries, would she be able to spend her leisure days just running into the palace to accompany you?

"Hmm." Fu Sheng nodded in agreement, "I'm a fool, you're a fool, half a catty, eight taels, don't laugh at fifty steps." ”

Xun Jiujiao vaguely heard something else from this sentence, she pursed her lips slightly, "You ......"

Fu Sheng looked at her intently, and said meaningfully: "I don't object to your promise to Her Majesty the Empress to enter the palace, but I don't want you to come unwillingly, if you don't like it, just refuse directly, as long as it's about you, I'll share it with you, and I'll clean up the aftermath for you if it's bad, you don't have to worry so much." ”

Xun Jiu's eyes were hot again, but she didn't want to be embarrassed again, so she quickly turned her head and pouted: "Who said I didn't want to, I was naturally willing, you wait, one day I will let Her Majesty the Empress willingly agree to surgery!" ”

------Off topic------

About the current progress, Yiyi said, it's completely procrastinating, the current plot is all to pave the way for the truth of Xunfu's raided house, the little angels look at it patiently, and it is estimated that the truth will be at the end of the first volume
