Chapter 164: Rehabilitation
"Brother, are you worried about the emperor...... Will it survive this time? Shen Xizhen looked at him with a gentle face and asked.
Shen Xibin nodded and said, "Sister, just think about it, if the emperor has three long and two short, will the entire Xi Kingdom not be messed up?" Even if you and so many capable ministers help preside over it, it will not escape a big change. Moreover, when the crown prince ascends the throne, he will definitely attack the old ministers who do not agree, and you and the king of Qingping have both had personal grudges with him, and I am afraid that he will take the opportunity to point the finger at you. ”
Shen Xizhen smiled and stretched out his hand to cover his brother's hand and said, "This brother doesn't have to worry, I will have a way to deal with it." He took a futon, sat down on it, and began to recite mantras.
Since her brother wanted her to calculate the current situation, she would do it carefully.
Shen Xibin watched intently from the sidelines.
But seeing that her eyes were closed and her expression was quiet, she seemed to be a master who had entered the country.
After about half an hour, Shen Xizhen slowly opened his eyes.
Shen Xibin found that there was a feeling in her eyes that she had returned from a long distance, and hurriedly asked, "How is it?" ”
"Brother, please rest assured, Xi Kingdom will not have a big mess this year, even if it is going to be a mess, I will not let it out." Shen Xizhen said in a firm tone.
Hearing her tone, it seemed that she could control the situation, Shen Xibin suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still a little surprised, and asked again: "What was the mess that would have happened?" ”
Shen Xizhen then told him the results of the calculation, and Shen Xibin looked shocked when he heard it, but after listening to it carefully, he couldn't help but let go of his heart.
"If that's the case, it's the most desperate thing to ask for." Shen Xibin said.
"So I'm going to go up to Dongshan and ask my master, Xuanji Daoist, to come. It would be best if I could invite him, and if not, I would do it myself. Shen Xizhen said.
"Okay, how many days are you going to go?"
"It's going to take about ten days."
"The emperor is sick. There are many things in the palace that need your help, will he let you go? ”
"At this moment, no matter how important things are, they are not as important as his body, and I don't think he will stop it."
Shen Xibin thought about it, so he smiled and bowed his head.
……………
The next day, Shen Xizhen entered the palace to meet the emperor.
Before he arrived at the Heart Cultivation Palace, he heard the voices of people talking inside.
From that tone, it sounded as if Emperor Guangzhao had woken up, and she hurriedly quickened her pace.
Enter the temple of nourishing the heart. She saw Emperor Guangzhao sitting at his desk listening to several ministers' reports. Emperor Guangzhao's face also changed from the original earthy gray to reddish, and the spirit of the whole person looked good.
She saw that Chu Zihou, Chu Zican, and Chu Ziyao were also on the side, and everyone's expressions were different.
When Shen Xizhen came in, the ministers' reports had already been said about the same. Seeing Shen Xizhen come in, several ministers spoke quickly and then said goodbye.
In the minds of the people of Xi Kingdom, Shen Xizhen is the person they dare not offend and admire the most besides the emperor.
"Congratulations to the emperor!" Shen Xizhen hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
It seems that the medicine that Chu Zihou went to the hinterland of Lingqiu to collect had a big effect.
"You've come just in time, I have something to discuss with you. Let's stand down for the others. Emperor Guangzhao hurriedly said to the others.
The crowd then retreated.
Shen Xizhen took a few steps forward and came to Emperor Guangzhao. Guangzhao pointed to the stool in front of her for her to sit on.
"I remember that the other day you seemed to have asked me to go north to quell the people who were revolting. Is there such a thing? Emperor Guangzhao looked at her and asked.
"It's true, but then you said that you didn't need the courtiers to go in person, and then the courtiers recommended to you that Lucheng Taishou Zhou Bangmin and Shuzhou Taishou Yu Sichen go, and you agreed." Shen Xizhen replied calmly and clearly.
Emperor Guangzhao smiled and patted his head and said, "Oh, I finally remember now. I've been asleep every day for the past few days, and my mind seems to be full of mush, and I'm really afraid that I'll make some foolish decision in a daze. ”
"Rest assured, with your prudence to the emperor. Nature is not going to make mistakes. Shen Xizhen smiled and comforted him.
A warm smile appeared on Emperor Guangzhao's face, and then he suddenly said, "Guang'an wait." Your relationship with King Qingping should be almost there, right? ”
"Yes, twenty days to go." Shen Xizhen replied softly. As soon as she mentioned her own family affairs, Shen Xizhen's face turned red, and she remembered Chu Zihou's warm breath when he hugged her, the affectionate expression when he kissed her, and his hand that touched her, as if with a fire, she suddenly felt a tingle all over her body.
Where could Emperor Guangzhao not see her mood? So he smiled and said, "I hope that you can get married smoothly, so even if I am in poor health, I will survive until you get married." ”
Emperor Guangzhao knew very well that if he failed to hold on this time, Chu Zihou and Shen Xizhen would have to get married in three years, and because he had already decided to let the crown prince succeed to the throne, and the prince had a deep affection for Shen Xizhen. He was already full of apologies for not passing on the throne to Chu Zihou, and he didn't want to let Chu Zihou lose his beloved woman because of himself.
As soon as he thought of this, Emperor Guangzhao wished that the two of them would get married as soon as possible.
Shen Xizhen's eyes were hot, and tears flowed down.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured, you will definitely be able to see our wedding, you will not only be able to see it, but you will also live a long time."
"I don't dare to hope for the second half of the sentence, how is my own physical condition, don't I understand?" Emperor Guangzhao said with a light smile.
"Your Majesty, the source of the disease in the body is nothing more than the imbalance of yin and yang, the blockage of the meridians or the loss of qi and blood, as long as you find out the source of the disease, you can find a way to get rid of the disease and strengthen the body, so it is possible for you to live to be 100 years old." Shen Xizhen said in an affirmative tone.
"You're not coaxing, are you? It's a blessing that I can come to my senses, how dare I hope to live to be a hundred years old, besides, so many imperial doctors in the palace have prepared health prescriptions for me, haven't they seen any effect? ”
"Since you have worked hard all year round, naturally you can't just rely on a health prescription, so the courtier wants to use qigong to help you treat, are you interested in giving it a try?" Shen Xizhen asked.
She originally wanted to go to Dongshan to ask the Xuanji Dao chief to come down to help treat Emperor Guangzhao, but now that Emperor Guangzhao had woken up and his spirit was so much better, she decided to personally perform qigong therapy on Emperor Guangzhao.
Anyway, my wedding date is coming soon, so it's really not suitable to run too far.
She had already made Chu Zihou wait too long, and this time, she didn't want him to wait any longer.
"Okay, I'm also interested in qigong therapy, but I'd like to experience it for myself." Emperor Guangzhao was eager to try.
"Okay, then let's start today, heal for two hours a day." Shen Xizhen said with a smile.
"Okay, it's up to you." Emperor Guangzhao was in a good mood and nodded again and again.
Shen Xizhen got up and opened the windows around him, letting in the sunlight outside the window.
"Although men and women don't kiss, because it is a cure, I hope the emperor will forgive me if there is any disrespect."
"You can do it."
"Good!"
Xi Zhen first rubbed her hands hot, and then tried Emperor Guangzhao's lesions little by little through her clothes, and after a little probing, she found out where the lesions in his body were, and then applied gong treatment to him.
After two hours, Emperor Guangzhao was intuition hot and sweaty, and he was comfortable.
Shen Xizhen brought him a cup of hot tea with honey.
"Your Majesty, please drink some hot tea to replenish your hydration."
"Hmm." Emperor Guangzhao took the hot tea she handed over and drank it down, and said with a smile: "I now feel deaf and clear, full of comfort, Guang'anhou, your qigong skills are really amazing!" ”
"The emperor has won the award, the courtier will come back tomorrow, you go take a hot bath and rest for a while."
"Okay!" Emperor Guangzhao said with a smile. felt that Shen Xizhen was really like a caring daughter, and the love for her in her heart suddenly increased a little.
Chu Zican, who heard the news that Emperor Guangzhao's condition had improved, stopped the steps he had just wanted to walk towards the Heart Cultivation Palace, and sat back in his chair with a gloomy face.
I thought that with Emperor Guangzhao's illness, even the herbs in the hinterland of Lingqiu would not be able to recover from it, but I didn't expect that they would make Emperor Guangzhao completely awake, and now with Shen Xizhen's qigong therapy, it is even more likely to be cured.
After this experience, Emperor Guangzhao will definitely love and trust Chu Zihou and Shen Xizhen even more.
So what should he do? Wouldn't all the previous plans have to come to naught?
Now his momentum is obviously weaker than Chu Zihou and Shen Xizhen, which is the fact that he is most unwilling to see.
The more Chu Zican thought about it, the more angry he became, and he picked up the teacup on the table and threw it against the wall.
Hearing the sound of the teacup breaking, Hua Yueqiang came over with a big belly to comfort.
"Prince, as the saying goes: good things are grinding, and if it doesn't go well at the beginning, it doesn't mean that it will be like this in the future, you might as well put your mentality right, face the emperor's recovery happily, and strive for more meritorious service, so that he can hand over the country to you with peace of mind one day."
"That being said, there are so many variables in life, who knows what's going to happen next? If the country is not in my hands for a day, how can I dare to feel at ease? Seeing that it was a flower moon ballad, Chu Zican deliberately softened his voice.
Hua Yueyu didn't know how to answer him, but she was very happy in her heart, because as long as Emperor Guangzhao recovered, at least she didn't have to worry that Chu Zican would think badly about Shen Xizhen.
So Hua Yue's words changed and said softly: "The concubine knows that you are bored today, so she specially asked the kitchen to cook you pear lotus seed lily syrup, can you drink a bowl?" ”
This is Chu Zican's favorite sugar water, so he nodded.
Hua Yueyu hurriedly called someone to the kitchen to bring the sugar water.
After drinking the two bowls of pear syrup, Chu Zican's mood improved, and he stood up and said to Hua Yueyu, "I'll go see my father." ”
"Okay." Hua Yueyu hurriedly smiled and watched him leave.
Emperor Guangzhao, who had already taken a hot bath, was lying on the bed and resting, and when he heard that the prince had asked to see him, he sat up. (To be continued......)
