Zhang Zhen is now wearing a double loss, and his face is dark.

It can be seen that he has suffered a lot outside in the past few months.

can insist on coming back, he still has a little perseverance, which Song Paner admires.

But that doesn't hide his mistakes.

If he didn't chase the robbers and didn't become disabled, Song Paner would not be disappointed in his IQ, let alone delve into his fault for losing things.

encountered robbers on the road, it was **, not Zhang Zhen's fault.

But it was his fault that he had crippled himself.

Seeing Song Pan'er rewarding him with silver, his eyes flashed with gratitude, but he refused: "Madam, the little one has the money to go back." You left your younger siblings behind and rewarded them with a bite to eat, Zhang Zhen was grateful. Zhang Zhen didn't dare to accept this silver. ”

As he spoke, he was about to kneel down and kowtow to Song Paner.

Song Pan'er waved her hand and said, "Excuse yourself from these false gifts, you can take this silver." It just so happened that Wei Lixin was going back to Yanling Mansion to do New Year's goods for me, and if you follow them, these silver will not be afraid of others. ”

Wei Lixin is the manager of Song Paner's outer courtyard warehouse and Song Paner's cronies.

Zhang Zhen still refused.

He refused very insistently.

Song Pan'er looked stern and said, "This money is not just for you. You take this money, and in the future, others will ask about the begonia, say a few more nice words, and I am not allowed to hear any complaints. ”

This is hush money.

Zhang Zhen's eyes were in pain.

He threw away the double loss, and knelt down to Song Paner: "Without silver, the little one doesn't dare to slander the begonia girl." I shouldn't have gone after the robbers myself. Broke a leg. I don't dare to think about Miss Begonia anymore, how can I be resentful? I have been in the house for many years, I don't think I have much strength, if it weren't for the lady looking at the face of the begonia girl, rewarding me with a small steward, and rewarding my father and mother for taking care of things in the Zhuangzi, our family of these younger brothers and sisters would not be able to support. If I don't understand this truth, it should be thunder and thunder every day. ”

Listening to such a remark, it is also reasonable.

Song Paner's heart was touched.

She was silent for a long time.

"I ask you what you thought at the beginning. A man running after a robber? Song Paner asked suddenly.

Zhang Zhen was stunned.

This sudden question. Make him dumbfounded.

His fists clenched tightly.

“…… The small ones are in the house, and they all rely on the dignity of the begonia girl. If something is lost, Mrs. looks at the face of the begonia girl, knowing that the small one can't afford to lose. I'm afraid I won't dig deeper. But the begonia girl will be difficult to do. The small ones are useless. You can't give a begonia girl a long face. But I'm afraid of giving her a loss. Zhang Zhen's voice was a little choked.

Song Paner was stunned.

She was a little moved by this.

Whether it was true or not, these words hit Song Paner's heart.

After a while, Song Paner said, "Get up." ”

Seeing that he was struggling to get up. Song Pan'er called out to the two little maids to help him up.

Song Paner rewarded him with silver, he didn't want to live or die, so Song Paner didn't insist anymore.

The next day, Zhang Zhen followed Wei Lixin and set off back to Yanling Mansion.

The fifty taels of silver, Song Paner handed it over to Wei Lixin, and asked Wei Lixin to go to Yanling Mansion and then give it to Zhang Zhen.

Wei Lixin responded.

Begonia cried for a few days, made a few fuss, and then quieted down.

Whether Zhang Zhen is really willing to quit his family, and whether Haitang's crying is disguised, Song Paner did not go to verify.

She kept the situation within what she thought was right, and she was satisfied.

That's for another time.

――*――*――

After Gu Jinzhi consulted the Empress Dowager, the next day Kunning Palace issued another decree and invited her to enter the palace for the Empress Dowager's follow-up.

The Queen Mother relied on Gu Jinzhi very much.

Her condition was not severe, but she was in an extremely bad mood.

Gu Jinzhi entered the palace for several days.

The day after the emperor fell ill, he went to court as usual.

He had to admit that after Gu Yantao was worried, the government was not as handy as before.

Xia Shoufu is old, and his work efficiency is far less than that of Gu Yantao.

The emperor missed Gu Yantao a little.

Both the imperial physician and the chamberlain advised the emperor to rest for a few more days, but the emperor ignored him.

And the death of the second prince has no follow-up.

There is treachery in the calm.

Gu Jinzhi didn't dare to ask about these things, and the Queen Mother wouldn't tell her.

She was just ordered to enter the palace every day to take care of the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother will still instruct her to go to the Qianqing Palace every day to see how the emperor is doing for the Queen Mother.

The emperor was also very ordinary to Gu Jinzhi, and he didn't have the ambiguous attitude of giving her a birthday gift that day.

This made Gu Jinzhi breathe a sigh of relief.

In addition to taking care of the Queen Mother and checking the pulse of the emperor, Gu Jinzhi was also ordered to go to Jinghe Palace twice to see Concubine De.

On the way from Jinghe Palace to Kunning Palace, Gu Jinzhi saw that there was construction.

The palace is building a house.

Gu Jinzhi suddenly understood something.

She walked around the palace and became more cautious.

Five or six days later, the Queen Mother's health recovered, but the Emperor became ill.

He suffered from insomnia.

At first, I had a light sleep, I had to wake up every quarter of an hour, and then I couldn't sleep all night.

Doctor Sun of Tai Hospital went to diagnose and treat him, saying that the emperor had insomnia caused by the deficiency of the heart and spleen, and prescribed a soup to calm the nerves and nourish the heart. After drinking for two days, the emperor's insomnia became heavier.

As soon as the Queen Mother heard this, she was afraid that those people in the Tai Hospital would make the same mistake as she had done for the Queen Mother in the past, and they would have one idea and cure the good people.

"Go and ask Miss Gu to come." The Queen Mother said.

Gu Jinzhi rested for two or three days, and was invited to the palace again.

She checked the emperor's pulse, and the more she diagnosed, the heavier her heart became.

There are many causes of insomnia, such as the deficiency of the heart and spleen as mentioned by Dr. Sun, as well as the vigorous liver fire, or the deficiency of heart and gallbladder qi, or phlegm and heat internal disturbance, all of which may lead to insomnia.

But the emperor's insomnia is not due to these reasons.

She didn't say her illness in front of the emperor, but told the queen mother: "The emperor is not sick, he is sad in his heart." The love is bitter and sleepless, and there is no cure for a hundred medicines. To solve this insomnia, you have to let Your Majesty untie the knot. ”

The emperor suffered too much in his heart, and he suffered insomnia.

The Queen Mother heard this. I'm not surprised, but I'm sad.

She knew where the emperor's knot was.

She personally went to persuade the emperor: "The country and the society are all on the shoulders of the emperor alone." The emperor is healthy, which is the blessing of the common people. No matter what the emperor is embarrassed about, he will relax. ”

The emperor smiled bitterly and said perfunctorily that he knew.

If it doesn't hurt like this, it won't work at all, and the Queen Mother knows it.

"Zhong Xi, the queen mother knows that you are bitter in your heart. When a child dies, you are sad; These concubines. There are you who brought into the palace from the prince's mansion. There is no merit and hard work, and you have always valued them. Now that something like this has happened, you are both disappointed and sad, and the queen mother knows it. The Queen Mother shouted the emperor's nickname. Push the heart into the abdomen. "Son. If you sit on the world, you can't worry about family affairs like ordinary fathers and husbands. Royal ruthless. If you're like this, how can your mother be at ease? ”

The emperor had not heard the Empress Dowager speak like this for many years.

His heart moved slightly.

But in this case, it can't shake him.

His heart is different from when he was a child.

His mother's warmth was too bland for him at the moment, and it was difficult for his heart to make waves.

He smiled faintly, shook the queen mother's hand, and said, "The queen mother, the son knows." The son is not only worried about the affairs of the inner palace, but also the affairs of the court. You are just right, if you work hard for your son, your son is unfilial. ”

Then he shouted to Xiang Liang, "Help the Empress Dowager to go back and rest." ”

Xiang Liang Dao is.

The Queen Mother sighed silently in her heart, anxious, but helpless.

She got up and went back to Kunning Palace.

Before leaving, she repeatedly told Gu Jinzhi: "Take care of Your Majesty with your heart." ”

Gu Jin's way is.

After sending the Queen Mother away, the emperor called Gu Jinzhi to the inner hall and asked her what she was sick with.

Gu Jinzhi said bluntly.

The emperor knew the intention of the Queen Mother to say that.

Sleepless......

Gu Jinzhi's diagnosis is symptomatic.

The emperor's own mood, only he himself knows.

However, it can't be cured with 100 medicines, which is a bit troublesome. ‘

The emperor needs to reveal the present feelings.

However, for a while, he couldn't let go.

He is only a son of the eldest prince, and the eldest prince is not liked by the emperor. Like other men, the emperor wished he had more sons.

The birth of the second prince carried too much hope for the emperor.

He was also extra careful, and even asked the Queen Mother to personally select the second prince's nurse and the attendant to serve.

didn't think about it, but let the people in the inner palace get it.

He wasn't sure who it was, but he couldn't escape them...

The loss of his beloved son made his heart ache and anger; The women in the inner palace disappointed him again.

"I have a cure for this disease, Xiao Qi has a cure?" The emperor asked Gu Jinzhi.

Gu Jinzhi thought for a while before slowly shaking his head: "Your Majesty also knows where the cause of her illness is. If the disease is not eradicated, no good remedy will help. I can't do anything for the time being......"

She needs the emperor to vent her feelings.

The emperor is an adult, and he has his own best way to regulate his feelings, and Gu Jinzhi can't help in this regard.

When she had finished speaking, she stood aside.

The Emperor was silent for a long time.

Gu Jinzhi saw that he hadn't moved for a long time, so he looked up at him.

He's a little distracted.

Gu Jinzhi hung his head again.

After a long time, the emperor spoke: "Didn't you rub your palms and feet for the Queen Mother in the past, and the Queen Mother slept peacefully?" You also rub it for me. ”

Gu Jin's way is.

The waiter brought her a brocade pestle.

She sat on the edge of the dragon couch, cleaned her hands, and slowly rubbed the soles of her feet for the emperor.

The emperor's gaze fell on Gu Jinzhi's face.

Her skin was porcelain white, and her eyelashes were long, which hid her eyes; The chin is delicate and small, the lips are a little thin, and the color is bright.

He looked at Gu Jinzhi, as if her face was a whirlpool, which attracted the emperor's gaze and couldn't take it back.

Gu Jinzhi rubbed the soles of his feet for him, and after pressing for half an hour, the emperor felt a little warm in his body, but he didn't feel sleepy at all.

He stared at Gu Jinzhi, and there was a very strong thought.

Gu Jinzhi concentrated on rubbing for him, but the emperor leaned over and approached her gently.

Sensing that his body was leaning over, Gu Jin subconsciously dodged backwards.

The movement of her hands stopped, and her eyes widened as she looked at the emperor.

Through her dark pupils, the Emperor could see his own face.

His expression can be seen clearly.

A little apprehensive, a little longing.

He immediately understood what he was thinking about Gu Jinzhi.

He wanted to kiss her feelings, but he was a little apprehensive......

This discovery surprised him, and at the same time gave up the idea of kissing her now, he didn't want to frighten her.
