In the Spring Festival of this year, because King Xiang was in Beijing, the palace was extra prepared for a lot of excitement, but because of the emperor's illness, there was no need to say anything, almost all of them were canceled. Even the Zhengdan Dynasty let the bolt out, although the emperor was fine, but the ministers naturally couldn't help but talk about it. On the first day of the day, the emperor woke up from a nap and summoned Feng En, the eunuch of Dongchang, to speak.

Although the East Factory has the same supervision palace and has some eyes and ears in the dark, this is only a small part of its functions after all. The emperor set up Dongchang mainly to supervise the ministers, and as for the palace, it was only to maintain stability and avoid the chaotic scene during the reign of Emperor Wen. Although Xu Xun and Feng En had a certain karma, after he went to Dongchang, the two never interacted with each other again - not because the emperor didn't trust her, she was also the object of inspection or something, but Feng En's main responsibility was already foreign affairs, and it was impossible for him to enter the harem if he had nothing to do, and when he met the emperor in the Qianqing Palace and said the news of the outer court, Xu Xun had never listened.

Of course, today is an exception, even Feng En was personally brought in by Xu Xun, and whispered several words along the way: The emperor is afraid of noise now, and he is not very familiar with the voice, and he will have a headache when he speaks loudly. That's why he didn't go to the Zhengdan Dynasty because of this, otherwise, he was just dizzy and vomiting, but he couldn't stop him. The significance of the Zhengdan meeting is self-evident to the country, and the absence of Zhengdan will naturally bring a certain haze to the DPRK.

"Is there any change in the cabinet three?" The emperor asked directly, and did not shy away from Xu Xun at all.

"Back to the Emperor." Feng En's voice was very low, but the eunuch's male duck voice was difficult to change, and it was even more strange to be forced like this. "The three adults are very worried, but they didn't have a private meeting, but the slave maid heard the rumors, and within these two days, I was afraid that they would come to the Qianqing Palace to ask for a meeting."

When the emperor had a headache before, the cabinet wanted to enter the palace again for guardianship, but the condition improved within a few days, and of course the degree of vigilance was reduced. After all, if they were well-informed, they should have known by now that the emperor was tantamount to living in the deep palace, and except for a limited number of people, outsiders had no reason to know about his physical condition.

Although it is said that during the time of Taizu, the handover of internal servants and foreign ministers was extremely taboo. But before Emperor Wen raised the matter, he wasted a lot of effort to recruit eunuchs, and there was a precedent for him, and it was difficult for the news in the palace not to leak at all. Don't talk about the emperor at this point, even Xu Xun knows that the affairs of the outer court are like this, in fact, the inner palace is similar, but after all, the affairs of the harem are the emperor's housework, and outsiders are not allowed to interfere, even if it is known, few people will take it out to make a fuss. She let out a sigh of relief and didn't speak: Fortunately, the queen and the queen mother can still see the emperor, if these two emperors don't see each other, then the pressure on her now will be a little greater.

"It's also a business." The Emperor snorted, "Is there a story everywhere?" Is the vassal kingdom still stable? ”

Feng En talked about a few things in detail, all of which were innocuous incidents, such as someone making a big argument at home, saying bad things about someone, and someone trying to marry someone, etc. Xu Xun heard that she didn't recognize these people, but this was not unusual, she didn't know more than ten officials, even if the emperor was talking about important ministers, it was someone to her.

After listening to Feng En's return, the emperor's complexion was a little pale, and before he could speak, he had another headache, Xu Xun hurriedly served him with Ma Shiyi and lay down and closed his eyes to recuperate, Feng En also kowtowed again and again, with a sad look on his face.

After surviving this wave, the emperor's energy was not as good as moving forward, and he closed his eyes and rested for a long time before asking, "What news is there from King Xiang?" ”

"King Xiang has been idle in the Ten Princes' Mansion recently, except for entering the palace." Feng En's tone was extremely cautious, "When I entered the palace to serve the Queen Mother, I didn't say a word about sensitive points. ”

The emperor nodded slowly, sighed again, and seemed to say to himself, "It's also difficult for him, and when I go back now, my face is not good-looking, and after the beginning of spring, it will be much better." ”

Although Xu Xun has never seen King Xiang, he has also heard the emperor say that he played with several younger brothers when he was a child, he is generous and generous by nature, and has always taken good care of his two younger brothers who are sick and have not yet settled in the domain, not only providing more than the share of the vassal king, but also telling the harem concubines many times not to bully the two princesses. - To put it bluntly, these two princesses were married to decorate the façade, and King Yue and King Wei were reluctant to even worship in the hall, let alone have children, and the emperor was worried that someone in the palace would have a snobbish eye and have an accident in front of the two princesses.

King Yue has been sick since he was a child, King Wei and he are much older than him, in fact, the most affectionate relationship with the emperor, or King Zheng and King Xiang, among which King Xiang is from a mother, so the relationship is closer, and the emperor does not know how many things he said when he was a child and King Xiang went into trouble together. But now when it comes to King Xiang, his tone is shallow, unpredictable, and his suspicion is obvious. Xu Xun listened, and only felt very ominous: when the emperor was in good health, he was very caring for King Xiang, often rewarded him with gold, silver and jewelry, and also thought about calling him back to Beijing for a reunion. Now suddenly I am wary of King Xiang, not that King Xiang has changed, but that the emperor has completely lost confidence in his body.

However, she must not intervene in the affairs of the emperor's orders to the outer court, and she just serves with bated breath on the side. Feng En didn't say much, unless the emperor asked, he was always concise and to the point, 'yes', 'the slave knows'.

The emperor asked for half an hour, anyway, all he asked was about the dealings between officials in the foreign court, as well as the movements of the vassal kings outside Beijing, and the movements of Korea, Jiaozhi and other countries. In fact, in Xu Xun's view, those people know at most that he was sick in the summer, and this winter, the mountains and rivers are far away, even if there is any movement, it will definitely have to wait until a few months before there is feedback.

The emperor was uneasy, she could clearly feel that maybe it was because he couldn't even see his children last night, maybe it was the stimulation of not being able to attend the Zhengdan court meeting, his mood today was always a little gloomy, as if he wanted to prove something, maybe he asked more carefully than usual, at least, Feng En answered a few times with sweat on the tip of his nose. She couldn't tell whether Feng En understood the emperor's mood, but his embarrassment pleased the emperor again, and the emperor didn't rebuke him for his hesitation, but gave him a few words of encouragement before sending him down.

Xu Xun saw something on Feng En's face at the moment when he half-straightened up, and he confirmed his guess - in the end, he had served Emperor Wen, and this kung fu was really silent. Looking at the emperor again, the color is already much wider and more, just if you want to get angry, it is estimated that you can't find a reason.

If she wants to continue to be so sick, she is afraid that she will have to figure it out with her heart, she sighed in her heart, and saw that after the emperor sent Feng En, she seemed to be in a good mood and spirit, so she asked softly, "Big brother, it's Zhengdan, do you want to summon Bolt and give a few words of encouragement?" ”

The emperor hesitated for a moment, then said, "It's okay, let the queen bring him over." ”

#

Zhu'er attended the Zhengdan court meeting on behalf of the emperor today, and it should have only been long since he came back, and he has not changed out of his gorgeous clothes. It is estimated that the queen taught him in advance, his voice was very small, his movements were soft, and he did not disturb the emperor, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the emperor upright, "The child has given his father a New Year's greeting, and his father has a new year, peace and health." ”

The emperor looked at the bolt, his face was full of relief, and he said to the empress, "This child has grown up. ”

The queen was also pleased with a little emotion, "It's been more than half a year, and I feel a few years older." ”

Indeed, Xuan'er was originally honest and ignorant, although Xu Xun never asked about his education, but every time they met, he naturally had some comments in his heart. Since the emperor's illness and the death of Concubine Luo, it has only been half a year, and he has matured a lot, although his stature is not high, the greenness on his face has faded, his eyes are flashing, and his actions and words have a bit of an adult meaning. Now when he sees his father seriously ill, he doesn't choke up and cry, or make childish words, but greet him steadily, although it is not a shocking move, but for him, it is already a great progress.

Hearing his parents' praise, he just smiled indifferently and stood aside with his hands down, thoughtful, but didn't know what to think. The emperor looked at him for a while and asked, "What did you write at today's court meeting?" ”

"Just go up and sit." ”

"What do you think?"

"It's colder than a few pilgrimages to the East Palace," said Xuan'er, "and I wanted to go to the clean room halfway, but my companion gave me a look and told me to endure it, so I endured it." ”

After all, this sentence revealed a little naivety, and the emperor smiled dumbly, stroked his bare head, and said, "I mean, what do you feel when you look at those people bowing to you?" ”

Xuan'er thought about it, and a look of confusion appeared on her face, obviously she didn't think there was anything good about it, and the queen said, "He has been like this since he was a child, I'm afraid that he has long been used to it, what can he think in his heart?" ”

The emperor let out a sigh of relief, "Those who are kings and are worshiped by the world must also bear the sufferings of the people of the world." Every time I received a salute from my grandfather, I trembled at the thought of the burden that lay ahead. lest if you take a wrong step, thousands of people will also suffer...... It seems that it is the same to be worshiped by hundreds of officials, but on weekdays, others come to worship you on the Qianqiu Festival, and the meaning of the Zhengdan Dynasty will not stop there? ”

He taught his son a few words, although he was solemn and taught, but it was obvious that he did not really understand the emperor's meaning, the emperor saw it in his eyes, sighed, and said no more, but said to the queen, "After the beginning of spring, let him go to the East Palace to live, this child should also go out of the pavilion to study." ”

Although the queen was pale, she did not defend herself, but nodded silently. The emperor said a few more words to Zhu'er, and then let him go down to play by himself, and the queen waited for Zhu'er to leave, so she glanced at Xu Xun, Xu Xun understood, and quietly retreated to the door.

After walking a few steps, the queen's low voice drifted into her ears. "Big brother, you have a little problem, you will be cured after a few days of recuperation, why do you think so much in your heart......"

Yes, the emperor's mentality can't be hidden, even if the relationship between the two is estranged, the queen can't help but persuade a few words after all.

Xu Xun swallowed a sigh: It's just two illnesses, the emperor's change is too obvious, it is estimated that in two days, I am afraid that even Aunt Qiao will be able to see it.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, his situation was better, so he brought Ah Huang, Yuanyuan, Diandian and Zhuang'er to meet, these children were told before they came: don't cry and make a fuss, it's best not to cry, so as not to alarm the emperor to get up and comfort, that is, with a smile on his face, say something softly, don't make a noise to the emperor is the most important.

Ah Huang and Yuan Yuan are both ten years old this year, and the two of them came in together, behaving very decently, with a faint smile on their faces, and when they talked to the emperor, a trace of heartache was not revealed, as if he was still the same as usual. After asking the emperor a few words, they were silent with each other, Ah Huang seemed to feel that the atmosphere was too embarrassing, paused, and said politely, "Dad still has to rest and take care of his body." ”

She is a small child, what scheming can she hide from adults? To put it mildly, even Xu Xun couldn't hide it, in front of the emperor, what she thought and thought was nothing to hide. Whether she was close to the emperor or not, whether this was true or false, Xu Xun knew at a glance, she looked at the emperor, saw that he just smiled bitterly and nodded, and she was very sad for him. At this time, she realized that the emperor Weishenme always had room for the queen and the queen mother, and he was like that to her...... That's good.

It is said that Ah Huang, as a princess, always hopes that her father will be alive for a longer time, and she is also taken care of more, and there is a lot of difference between the eldest princess and the princess. Just said that now these four eldest princesses, when Emperor Zhao was there, all lived equally, and as soon as Emperor Zhao left, there was a difference. The more the emperor feels that his days are numbered, the more he will devote himself to cultivating the empress and promoting and consolidating his shili, and the empress will naturally benefit from this...... But Ah Huang's words are really a model of soup, but the queen didn't pay attention to the matter of going out of the pavilion to study, and only persuaded the emperor to adjust his mentality. It really didn't come this far, and he wouldn't understand it, until the emperor really lay down, Xu Xun understood that it turned out that there would be really sorry for him in this palace, that is, there were only a few of them.

Although Yuanyuan has been cheated by his sister, he is young and ignorant, he doesn't understand the inner trick at all, and he is very dependent on Ah Huang, Ah Huang doesn't talk much, she talks even less, and Sister Xue said "Dad is good to give birth to", and he retired with Ah Huang. Xu Xun waited until Dian Dian came in in in a suffocation before he breathed a sigh of relief-at least, she started crying after Dian Dian came in, she was young and had a good relationship with the emperor, so she couldn't hide her panic and worry at all.

The emperor didn't pay attention to Zhuang'er, and when he saw a little crying, he was full of tenderness, and asked her to come closer, hugging her and whispering. Xu Xun saw Zhuang'er standing aside, quietly looking at the father and daughter, his eyes revealed some cold thoughts, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. If the relationship between Ah Huang and his father can be regarded as hatred because of love, then Zhuang'er and the emperor really haven't had a good time from the beginning, and it's hard to return. She also knows a little bit about the emperor's temperament, the more relatives she is, the more demanding she is, Zhuang'er's current appearance is seen by her father, but she is afraid that neither of them will be good.

She had been in the Qianqing Palace for ten days, and she had not even seen her children on Chinese New Year's Eve, and now she was with the emperor a little, so she waved at Zhuang'er and pulled him to the corner of the house, and asked softly, "Are you living well in Kunning Palace these days?" ”

Zhuang'er nodded, looked up and said, "The queen mother takes good care of me and my sister. ”

After the New Year, he is seven years old, and he is already a little adult, and he doesn't know how much more mature he is than a little bit, Xu Xun also has a little comfort in her heart, she said, "In Kunning Palace, pull your sister, everything is wronged, don't be as willful as in your own palace...... You also know that your father is not in good health, and adults are annoyed enough. ”

Zhuang'er nodded, looked at the emperor, suddenly pulled Xu Xun's sleeve, stood on tiptoe, and said in his ear, "My brother asked me, saying that I was not born to my mother, and asked me if I knew it." ”

Why did you suddenly ask about this? Xu Xun was a little surprised, thought for a while, and said, "Then what did you say?" ”

"I said I knew." Zhuang'er said naturally, "My mother told me, and my mother also took me to see Wu Niangniang." ”

Now when it comes to Wu Meiren, his tone is already very natural.

"Then what did my brother say?" Xu Xun couldn't help but ask.

Zhuang'er shook his head and said, "Brother stopped making a noise when he heard it...... I think it's weird, and I think I should tell my mother-"

Seeing Xu Xun's eyes, he didn't wait for her to ask, so he added to himself, "I didn't tell anyone else." ”

Xu Xun didn't know what was going on in his heart, it was estimated that the child was still young and couldn't hide his words, so he went to ask his younger brother when he heard about it. She was slightly unhappy in her heart, but she didn't say anything, patted Zhuang'er's shoulder, and admonished again, "In short, in Kunning Palace, be careful and obedient." ”

A few children behaved well, although they cried a little, but they didn't cry a lot, and when they left, they wiped their tears and told Xu Xun, "Mother, take good care of your father, don't worry about me and my brother, we, woo, we are good at the queen's mother." ”

Sending them away, the two couldn't help but look at each other and smile, Xu Xun asked in a low voice, "Big brother, can you still hold on?" ”

The emperor's face was good today, and he said, "It's okay, but I've had a headache two or three times so far." ”

Xu Xun is the favorite to listen to this, it can be seen that the emperor is indeed in the process of healing, she was greatly relieved, seeing that the emperor was still unwilling to rest, it seemed that he had the intention of inviting the queen mother to come and meet, so he hurriedly persuaded him to drink the medicine, and lay down to rest for a while.

When he woke up on the second day, the emperor's complexion became more and more good, and when Xu Xun got up, he heard him order to leave and right, and ordered the three ministers of the cabinet and the British minister Zhang Fu to come to meet him - today he also let everyone into the service inside, and his spirit was also invigorated, Xu Xun really breathed a big sigh of relief, and with the help of several old ministers to greet him, he was busy taking a bath, and ate the first meal of An Sheng in a few days. When he settled down and came out again, he knew that the queen had brought all the concubines to say hello, so he went over to tell her the good news, and the queen was also relieved when she heard it, and looked around for a while, and said happily, "I said that the eldest brother is a natural person, and he will naturally recover." ”

The emperor and several courtiers were still talking, and everyone naturally avoided on one side, which was also a coincidence, and for a while Aunt Qiao served the Queen Mother again, it turned out that Aunt Qiao visited in the morning, knowing that the emperor was well, and turned around and said to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother was also happy, so she came to see her son in person.

The festival time, should have been lively and happy, now the emperor's body is better, the atmosphere is even more flying freehand, even the queen mother is always smiling, a room of warblers and swallows, everyone laughs at each other, there is a lot of joy in the New Year, even the red plum blossoms outside the window are going to be urged. Only Xu Xunji hung the emperor's body, and kept looking at the time leakage by the wall to calculate the time - the emperor and several ministers have been talking for two hours, what is the New Year so anxious? I think he asked about everything in order to prove his health.

She probably guessed correctly, because it was a little while before the Emperor came to summon them to the audience. This time he was well ill, and he also made up for the New Year's salute, in addition to the queen mother, headed by the queen, a group of mermaids penetrated in, all whispered a good New Year, and knelt down to the emperor to salute, the queen mother sat next to the emperor, but also smiled, and the emperor whispered a can't stop.

Xu Xun was naturally in the crowd of people who saluted according to the class, she was absent-minded, and the number of etiquette was not in place, but she just looked for an opportunity to look at the emperor's face, and saw that his face was ruddy, and there was a faint sweat on his forehead, and he talked endlessly with the queen mother, obviously in excellent spirits. The heart is also wide: in the prime of life, in the future, it may not be impossible to remove the root of this disease.

She had already thought of how to gently persuade the emperor in the future to make him no longer obey Dan. If this illness wakes him up, it will not be considered a pure bad thing, at least there will be a few decades to recuperate. Even if...... Even if the most pessimistic thing is concerned, it can be delayed for seven or eight years, and when the bolt grows up, the emperor gradually lets go, and maybe the condition will be much better......

After saluting with everyone, the queen sat on the chair under the bed, Xu Xun also got a seat under her, and the rest of the people all knelt on the futon, the emperor shook his mother's hand, looked at the queen mother and sat down, only then straightened up, stretched comfortably, and actually hung down his feet, to get out of bed and talk to everyone.

"At the beginning of the new year, Vientiane is renewed, and this year, this year, it is also special-" He got up as he spoke, but when he stood up, his feet were so weak that if it weren't for Ma Shi's eyes and quick hands, he would almost fall down if he held on to his ribs. Amid everyone's exclamations, a distorted smile appeared on the emperor's face, as if he was sorry for his own loss. Enough to be ashamed, he wanted to say something, but he couldn't breathe at all, just held his chest and hissed.

Xu Xun stood on the ground in a daze, all the screams and exclaims, no questions, all the figures running and going, none of them were seen, she only looked at the emperor in her eyes, looked at him struggling to beat his chest in vain, coughing after coughing, a pair of eyes opened round, revealing infinite horror, twisting left and right, as if looking for a little help.

In the boiling noise, she was sure that she had really heard the soft sound of breathing, and with this sound, the emperor's movements suddenly stopped, and the sound of the cow's roaring breathing suddenly stopped, and he fell backwards and fell on the pillow, his eyes still wide open.

No one could misinterpret the signal, and loud gass, screams, and cries rang out all around...... Someone else was shouting her name.

Xu Xunmang turned around blankly, and was eye-catching with Zhao Zhaorong, it took her a moment to react, she was talking.

"You hurt the emperor!" In fact, Zhao Zhaorong was shouting, "Xu Xun, you must have hurt the emperor!" ”

The author has something to say: updated

Alas, to be honest, I'm also reluctant...... There are many shortcomings of Gao Hei Chubby, but it is not without charm.
