==Chapter 163==

If you really have great expectations that Doctor Feng can cure the prince, it must belong to Ruan Ling'er.

As early as when she heard about Doctor Feng, she moved this kind of thought, and told the prince more than once that when King Chu's leg healed, could she invite Doctor Feng into the palace. The prince knew that his body was not a miracle doctor who could not be cured by a miracle doctor at all, but he didn't want to disappoint Ruan Ling'er, so he nodded and agreed.

After Divine Doctor Feng left, Ruan Ling'er avoided the side hall, and came back after a while, her eyes were slightly red, but her face still had a nonchalant appearance.

The prince sighed slightly and said, "Lone's body is already like this, it can't be saved by manpower, so don't take it too seriously." ”

"......"

The prince smiled absently and patted her hand, "Okay, the lonely body is lonely and knows in his heart that he will not die for a while, you can rest assured." ”

Ruan Ling'er heard this, and impulsively stepped forward to cover the prince's mouth, only to find that her move was a little out of order, and she hurriedly put down her hand. But she couldn't stop the tears, and the crystal clear tears ran down her sharp chin, dripping down one by one, and slowly fainted on the futon.

"Don't cry."

She couldn't hold back any longer, threw herself into the prince's arms, and cried bitterly.

"Ling'er doesn't want His Highness to die, I don't want to ......"

The prince half leaned on the soft pillow, his pale face was almost transparent, he gently patted Ruan Ling'er's thin back, and comforted: "Lonely will not die, will not ......"

This is the first time Ruan Ling'er has been so disgraceful in front of the prince, and after crying, she was both shy and a little apprehensive. Fortunately, the prince just looked at her with gentle eyes, and did not blame her.

When it was time for the prince to take medicine again, Ruan Ling'er waited for the prince to take medicine spoonful by spoonful, and served him to rinse his mouth and wipe his mouth. The effects soon came to an end, and the prince fell into a deep sleep.

Whenever the prince fell asleep, it was the only time when Ruan Ling'er could be free.

Ruan Ling'er did not believe in Buddhism or Taoism before, but after the prince was seriously ill, he offered a Buddha statue in a small room in the side hall of Haoran Palace.

She entered the small Buddha hall, first put on three incense sticks, and then knelt on the futon in front of the incense table, folded her hands and closed her eyes to pray silently. After finishing the set, she bowed three times to the Buddha statue, then got up and went to the bookcase on the side and began to copy the Buddhist scriptures.

She would copy a volume of Buddhist scriptures every day, and then enshrine them in front of the Buddha statue, and when the offering was enough days, she burned them together, hoping that her heart could move the heavens.

Ruan Ling'er copied Buddhist scriptures on her knees every time, and she said that this was pious enough. Whenever she sees such a pious lady, Xiang'er can't help but feel distressed.

She has followed Ruan Linger since she was a child, has endured hardships, been tired, and been beaten, but she has also been glorious. It stands to reason that now she is a first-class maid beside the crown prince's concubine, and she should have nothing else to ask for. But looking at his side concubine like this every day, Xiang'er, who has never understood the set of Buddhas and gods, can't help but pray a few words of blessing for the prince in her heart, and only hopes that the prince can live a healthy and healthy life, so that the side concubine will not be sad.

Ruan Ling'er has been copying for half an hour, and no one has come to call her during this time. Since no one came, it means that the prince has not woken up yet, and she wholeheartedly hopes that this Buddhist scripture can be completed in one go. Xiang'er didn't follow her, but insisted on letting her get up and move her muscles and bones, drink tea, eat something, and copy it slowly. Ruan Ling'er has always been a masterless person, and Xiang'er has served her for so many years, so she can only rely on her.

Xiang'er served Ruan Ling'er and sat down on the couch on the side, served tea and a few snacks, and knelt on the side to pinch her legs.

Pinching the tense calves like stones, Xiang'er couldn't help but complain: "Niangniang, you should also pay attention to your body." Your body is already weak, and you have been serving by His Highness's side every day for most of the past half a year, and you can't relax for a moment, and you can finally rest for a while, and you have to copy the Narauszi Buddhist scriptures. Look at your face, there's not even a trace of blood. ”

"Stop, you can just tell me that. It is my honor to serve His Highness, and I am willing to do so. If I could, I would rather reduce my own life in exchange for His Highness's health. ”

Xiang'er knew that it would be this kind of answer, but she still couldn't help but say: "It's not that the slave doesn't let you serve Your Highness, it's just that you should also pay attention to your body, your menstrual affairs have not been allowed since the time you were in Ruan's Mansion, and you haven't been conditioned, I'm afraid you haven't noticed it, you haven't had your menstrual period for another two months, and the last time it was only two days." You've been dizzy all the time these days, if you don't ask a doctor to take a look, anyway, what our East Palace lacks, even if there is no shortage of doctors, you don't just care about Your Highness and ignore yourself. ”

Xiang'er didn't say it, Ruan Ling'er really didn't find out that she didn't come to menstruation. Her menstrual affairs have always been inaccurate, and every time she comes, she will die in pain, and she wishes to die, so she never pays attention to this matter. When I didn't marry into the East Palace, I also secretly looked at the doctor, and the doctor said that she hadn't taken care of her body since she was a child, and it would be good to recuperate slowly in the future. It's a pity that in Ruan's Mansion back then, I didn't have time to take care of myself, and where could I recuperate.

As for coming to the East Palace, he was conscientious and conscientious earlier, and he didn't dare to cause trouble, but then he finally got favored, and he was afraid that people would say that he was pampered and arrogant, and now, he was all about the prince, and he couldn't think of himself at all, so this matter has been dragging on.

"It's just a big deal, and you still need to ask for a doctor?" Ruan Ling'er frowned, feeling that there was a bit of a fuss.

Xiang'er simply lost her temper with her master, so she said: "If you don't go yourself, Suo □□ maid will go and ask His Highness, His Highness is kind, and the slave and maid don't believe that he will ignore this matter." ”

Ruan Ling'er hurriedly said: "Don't go and tell Your Highness, Your Highness can't work hard now, I really can't do anything about you, I will do this myself." ”

"That lady must be the talker."

Ruan Ling'er shook her head helplessly: "It must be." ”

Since the leg of the king of Chu healed, the court and the central government have presented a strange situation.

It seems to be calm, but in fact the dark tide is turbulent.

Although Emperor Chengyuan made his officials repeatedly propose succession, the strange thing is that there are few people who seconded the proposal, and there are few people who oppose it. It seems like you're singing a one-man show, and the people watching the show are all like you're willing to sing and sing, and we don't have much interest in this matter anyway. Emperor Chengyuan was very angry, and there were frequent roaring sounds and the sound of falling things from the Zichen Palace, of course, only the people in the palace had some clues about this matter.

If it is for ordinary people to succeed, this matter will naturally be decided by Emperor Chengyuan, the key is that this person is the prince, and his idea is to succeed the prince and set up the emperor's grandson. This matter is not something he can decide alone, and it needs the consent of most of the courtiers. Things are at an impasse, and there seems to be a taste of non-sustainability.

Of course, if Emperor Chengyuan would give up so easily, he would not be Emperor Chengyuan.

One day, at the court meeting, Emperor Chengyuan personally mentioned the matter.

Nguyen Cheng Mori and his family of officials seconded the motion, and there was quite a momentum that the matter would be decided today.

It's a pity that what they never expected was that the courtiers who had not reacted much to this matter earlier seemed to have finally woken up from their dreams and jumped out to oppose it. And the opposition is justified, there are still many adult princes, even if the prince does not succeed, he has not crossed the princes to seal a little milk baby as the emperor's grandson.

The skin of the face was torn at once.

A cadre of courtiers have quoted scriptures and classics to prove how absurd this matter is, and even the upright imperial history, desperately offended Ruan Fu, and impeached him for his own selfish desires, regardless of the stability of the Great Qi Jiangshan Society, but he didn't point at his nose and scold, the reason why he supported the succession was entirely because he wanted to plot against him.

Ruan Chengmao was sprayed with dog blood in the court, and he had no way to refute it at all, can he say that he has no selfish intentions, but just wants to follow Emperor Chengyuan's thoughts?

Definitely not, so I can only bear it.

Of course, he is not without the ability to fight back, several officials in his family have stood up to speak for him, this time the fun is great, the courtiers immediately shifted the muzzle, the bullets and bullets all went to Ruan Chengmao alone, and Emperor Chengyuan, who was sitting on the dragon seat, no one paid attention to it anymore.

It's just that Emperor Chengyuan is also very angry, and it seems that they are all targeting Ruan Chengmao, but in fact, to put it bluntly, these people are targeting him, and the words that scold Ruan Chengmao are actually scolding him for being mediocre and incompetent.

Emperor Chengyuan has always acted arbitrarily and alone, and this is the first time that he has suffered this kind of anger in his own court. He only felt a burst of dizziness, his heart beat faster, and his ears rang non-stop, and he heard Ruan Ronghai shouting 'Your Majesty', and then the whole person fainted.

This incident shook the entire government and the opposition.

Oh my God, a group of ministers quarreled in the Taiji Hall and actually fainted His Majesty.

The courtiers will not admit that Emperor Chengyuan is angry, doesn't that make it clear that he is guilty? They will only say that Ruan's servant is really not the same, and you can see that His Majesty is so annoyed that he is sick, which is enough to prove how much His Majesty does not want to see him. As for the reason why the courtiers were torn apart by the court, everyone completely forgot about it.

Emperor Chengyuan was hurriedly sent back to the Zichen Palace, and invited the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat without mentioning it, after King Cheng received the news, he was happy to give a high-five, and said that he deserved it. As for who this should be talking about, it is unknown.

And King Zhao, who was careful to shrink for a long time, did not know that nothing happened, and under the advice of Liu Guifei, he gradually regained his previous peace, and even his ambition and courage were much greater than before.

The mother concubine is indeed right, his father is old, and when he loses the dog of King Chu, he is like breaking his own minions, which seems to be extremely vicious, but in fact he is very evil.

Rabbits are in a hurry and still have to bite people, let alone dogs?

The king of Chu is indeed a little annoying, the only thing that is not annoying is that he loves his wife like his life, and for the sake of a woman, he is clearly against his father. But this time it was very good, the three brothers fought, it was better than holding a Tai Sui on his head that could never be overturned.

Xiao Jiuniang, this girl, very good!

*

Emperor Chengyuan woke up from the chaos.

He has been strong all his life, and he seemed to be unknown in his early years, but in fact, he is both civil and military, and his martial arts are not inferior to any general. The reason why he was able to kill out of the bloody storm and seize the throne was not only because his strategy was not weaker than others, but also because he was able to personally lead the troops, and his subordinates also recruited some loyal generals.

No matter how deceitful the mind is, it will be destroyed by total force.

For decades, even if he was already a Ninety-Five Emperor, he had never left behind his martial arts. Skill is secondary, the key is that practicing martial arts can make him physically strong. Over the years, all kinds of heavy court affairs have made Emperor Chengyuan realize how important it is to have a healthy body. But no matter how iron-beaten the body is, it can't help but be painstaking and laborious for many years.

Judging from his appearance, Emperor Chengyuan doesn't seem to have changed much over the years, except that his hair has turned a little gray and his face has some wrinkles. But if you look inside his body, you can see that he is actually at the end of his crossbow.

Emperor Chengyuan didn't like this feeling of dizziness and weakness very much, he struggled for a while, but did not sit up immediately as usual, but flashed one black spot after another in front of his eyes, and his chest was so tight that he felt sick.

He heard Ruan Ronghai crying, crying to make him pay attention to the dragon body, he didn't follow it, and finally sat up from the couch with Ruan Ronghai's support and leaned on the soft pillow behind him. There was a pang of joy in his heart, and he felt that he had overcome something, but his face was red and he was panting.

A rush and chaotic footsteps sounded, and someone shouted in a panic, 'His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come down'. Emperor Chengyuan finally drove away the black spot in front of him, suppressed the feeling of nausea in his heart, and saw the prince wearing a thick jacket, sitting in a wheelchair, and being pushed over.

Father and son, one of them has a white face like paper, and at first glance he has not recovered from a long-term illness. One had a red face, although he was strong and resolute, but it was difficult to hide his sickly color.

The crown prince couldn't help but cry and shouted, 'Father'.

Emperor Chengyuan patted the dragon bed and said in a dumb voice: "Yuanzhang, why are you here?" I'm fine. ”

The hoarseness of his voice made Emperor Chengyuan a little stunned, and soon he reacted and reprimanded: "How did you wait for the prince, he is not in good health, so you let him come out?!" ”

Plopped, the palace attendants who knelt on the ground, and the imperial doctors who had been waiting for a long time also knelt down one after another.

"Father, don't blame them, it's the child who wants to come, you're like this, how can the child bear not to come."

"I'm fine, it's all this group of quacks making a fuss." Emperor Chengyuan looked sideways at the group of imperial doctors, with a fierce light in his eyes, "You came to tell the prince, do I have something to do?" ”

The imperial doctors on the side hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty is fine, nothing is wrong." ”

How could the prince believe it, but he couldn't bear to expose Emperor Chengyuan's lies, so he could only pretend to be okay and wiped his tears, and said: "The father is fine, the child will rest assured, and the father must put the dragon body first." ”

Emperor Chengyuan nodded, gave the prince a few perfunctory words, and asked him to send him back to the East Palace on the grounds that the prince was not in good health.

After the prince left, the atmosphere in the dormitory suddenly dropped to freezing point.

Emperor Chengyuan said coldly: "If something like this happens in the future, you won't come to see me!" Ruan Ronghai, go and see who is so bold to use this thing to disturb the prince! ”

Ruan Ronghai's face was bitter, but he still responded in the end. Who should be disturbed by this, His Majesty fainted when the court, but after a while, it spread throughout the entire court and the field, and the East Palace naturally received the news.

Emperor Chengyuan turned his head and asked the imperial doctor about his physical condition, and after this moment, he already felt that something was wrong with his body. This vertigo had not been unheard of before, but it was the first time it had been so menacing, and when he sat up, he seemed to feel that his left arm was a little disobedient.

He couldn't help but move his arm, but when he realized that his left arm was really a little disobedient, he immediately became angry.

The husband was angry, the blood was splashed three feet, the anger of the Son of Heaven, and millions of corpses were ambushed.

Of course, it was not such an exaggeration, but two of the imperial doctors in this group were also angered, and they were immediately dragged out under the anger of Emperor Chengyuan. As for what to do when dragged out, everyone who is familiar with Emperor Chengyuan's temperament knows.

The rest of the imperial doctors all knelt on the ground and trembled, and the leader trembled and said: "Your Majesty should not be angry anymore, if you still can't control your temper, this is ...... It's just a ...... beginning."

This person is also out of the way, and the two people who just answered were dragged out, and now that he is in the lead, he can only answer. Not telling the truth is the crime of deceiving the king, telling the truth, but this truth is really not good.

Emperor Chengyuan closed his eyes for a long time before he said in a deep voice: "I understand what you mean." Treat it as you want, can this arm of mine be restored? ”

The leading imperial physician touched a cold sweat and replied: "The minister and the others are not sure for the time being, but if they are raised slowly, the possibility of recovery should be very great, but it will take time to recuperate." ”

Emperor Chengyuan put his mind at ease, as long as he can recover.

He didn't know that the leading physician still had something to hide. Emperor Chengyuan's illness is a stroke, and this stroke is divided into mild and severe. The light one is like Emperor Chengyuan at this time, dizziness and discomfort, nausea and retching, and a certain part of the body's skills will present an obstacle. This obstacle is permanent, and it is possible to improve it, but it is not possible to completely recover it.

And the most serious ones, 'unconscious, all like a dead corpse, but breathless, pulsating as before', or 'unconscious, mouth and eyes crooked, half of the body, phlegm and qi syncope', and even the possibility of violent death. Throughout the ages, many people have died suddenly, and this is actually the disease.

It's just that the leading imperial physician will definitely not dare to tell the truth to Emperor Chengyuan, if he sues him, this dragon arm will probably be like this in the future, how can he bear it with Emperor Chengyuan's good-faced character, I am afraid that a few more people will be dragged out to vent the anger in his heart.

The doctors all withdrew, and the dormitories were quiet.

Emperor Chengyuan still wanted to get up and move, but he was stopped by Ruan Ronghai, and his body really couldn't support it, so he could only rest.

Finally stopped, Ruan Ronghai saw that Emperor Chengyuan's love was still stable, and whispered to him: "Your Majesty, King Cheng, King Zhao, King Qi, King Chu, and His Royal Highnesses are still waiting in the side hall, saying that they want to serve you." ”

Emperor Chengyuan raised his eyebrows, he wanted to be angry, but he remembered what the imperial doctors said, so he forcibly suppressed his anger, "Let them go!" ”

Ruan Ronghai didn't dare to persuade more, so he went out to spread the word immediately.

He didn't dare to copy the original words, but said very implicitly that Emperor Chengyuan had just taken the medicine and had fallen asleep, so he asked several princes and highnesses to go back first.

King Cheng could guess what Emperor Chengyuan's reaction would be, and he didn't believe it, but they came here to make a show, and since Emperor Chengyuan didn't want to see him, he naturally didn't want to waste time here.

Of course, the filial piety that should be respected, it is still necessary to respect, whether Emperor Chengyuan is willing to see them or not has nothing to do with whether they come or not. If there are no accidents, these people will come back every day to ask for a meeting.

Several mermaids walked out of the Zichen Palace, and when they arrived outside the palace gate, they each bowed their hands and dispersed.

In the next few days, King Cheng and a few people really came to Zichen Hall every day to order Mao, Emperor Chengyuan didn't want to see them, but because of his face, he had to recruit a few people to meet.

King Cheng is used to being a good actor, crying so much that he said that he wanted to serve Emperor Chengyuan, and King Zhao was unwilling to be left behind, which was the same, but they were all rejected by Emperor Chengyuan.

After that, Emperor Chengyuan finally raised the dragon body well, and he ignored the imperial doctor's obstruction to go to the court. The first thing the Shang Dynasty faced was the right servant of Shangshu Province who shot the bones of Ruan Chengmao.

Nguyen Chengmao was actually forced.
