After some rest and acupuncture, the emperor's spirit seemed to be quite good, he leaned on the side of the bed, and looked at Ma Shi and Xu Xun with a slightly misty look in his eyes - in the huge room, except for the two of them, that is, two palace maids were standing far away at the door. Obviously, the emperor's headache has only been alleviated, and it has not been completely cured, and it is still very taboo for many people to make noise in the house.

Since the illness in the summer, in the intermittent months, this black and strong man has palped a lot, and he has lost some weight, and the strength between his eyebrows seems to be inexhaustible, and now it has dissipated only a thin layer, but from the center of his eyebrows, there is a feeling of weakness and tiredness. If the vassal king who has not been in the Hajj for a few years comes to take a look, he is afraid that he may not be able to recognize it in one or two eyes, Xu Xun's heart is sour, and he only forcibly does not shed tears, and walks to the emperor's side lightly, and calls in a low voice, "Big brother." ”

The emperor snorted and comforted Xu Xundao, "I'm fine, I received a needle and bled again, and now I feel much better." ”

After all, he is the head of the family, and now he is obviously unwell, and he has to comfort her in turn. Xu Xun smiled reluctantly and asked, "Have you ever prescribed medicine to eat?" ”

"Fang Zi seems to be going to take a while." The emperor's voice was subtle, "Everyone has gone back?" ”

"Well, they're all back." Xu Xundao, "I'm in a hurry to come over first, and I will go back after getting your words." ”

"That's good...... Under the New Year, there is no need to reduce the festivities because I am uncomfortable. The emperor murmured, "Let's all go back, there are many people and there is a lot of noise." ”

He squeezed Xu Xun's hand, closed his eyes and stopped talking, Xu Xun sat on the edge of the bed, looking at him silently. Ma Shi is also a knowledgeable person, seeing this, he slowly retreated to the door, there is a huge place in the house, and the two of them are facing each other next to the bed.

The emperor was silent for a while, and then he opened his eyes again, he was struggling, emotional, and a little relieved to look at Xu Xun, but he didn't explain his emotions, but asked softly, "Xiao Xun, have you asked the imperial doctor?" ”

This question was right on Xu Xun's mind, but the emperor had no way of knowing, she raised her eyebrows in surprise, and when the emperor spoke, she knew that she had thought wrong.

The emperor may have been a little dizzy, and every time he said a word, he had to close his eyes, paused for a moment, and then asked, "I...... Is it that he is seriously ill again and cannot live? ”

No wonder, so afraid of noise, but let her come in to accompany her. Xu Xun completely understood at this time - it was not that the emperor was hypocritical to her, but that when the patient was supposed to be recuperating, he insisted on seeing her, and there must be a reason for some reason. In this palace, if you want to hear the truth, the emperor can only come to her.

Originally, he was still hesitating to open his mouth to the emperor, but now the emperor took the initiative to offer the words, Xu Xun also pushed the boat down the river, held the emperor's hand and knelt down by the bedside, and it was also convenient to look at each other, "I asked Imperial Doctor Liu...... This disease is caused by too much medication in the summer, although it is not easy to cure, but for a while, it is difficult to worry about your life, big brother, don't worry about it. ”

As soon as the emperor's shoulders loosened, obviously the biggest worry was gone, he didn't ask in detail, but closed his eyes and rested for a while, before he said, "I see, but I just called Imperial Doctor Ouyang in to reply, and he said vaguely, I listened to him, as if there was something bad......"

Imperial Physician Ouyang is an old man in the Tai Hospital, and his qualifications are higher than that of Imperial Physician Liu, and his speech is quite weighty. Xu Xun closed his eyes and said, "There is something else to be hidden in this matter, if you still have the energy, big brother, listen to me and tell you slowly." ”

The word hidden love can arouse people's interest at any time, not to mention that it is related to their dragon body? The emperor was taken aback, his eyes flashed with a sharp light, and the tiredness on his face suddenly faded a little, and he said in a deep voice, "You say—is it that someone is trying to poison me?" ”

Xu Xun told the emperor all the truth told by Imperial Physician Liu several times, unreservedly and concisely, to know how mediocre the prescriptions of the doctors were, how the queen mother was angry, and how they were so frightened that they used the medicine of the tiger and wolf, and saved the emperor's life by mistake. And now that the outbreak of drug poison has caused the emperor's headache and distress, she is afraid that the emperor is now exhausted and does not know the intention, and said in detail, "Now I am afraid that they are afraid and want to hold everyone responsible, so they simply don't do ......it."

The emperor's eyes were shining, although he was still weak, but he looked very much like the emperor Xu Xun was familiar with, "There is such a thing?" I don't even know anything about it—heh, what kind of healer's parents, I can't believe this. ”

When others were sick, they naturally had extreme views, Xu Xun didn't argue with him, but said, "It's easy to recognize whether this matter is true or false, since it is all archived, it is better to send someone to quietly go to the Tai Hospital to look through it, if there is such a thing, then there is no need to make a big deal about it first, just cover up this matter, and secretly find a few doctors to help the pulse and prescribe prescriptions, and after a little recovery, what the eldest brother wants to deal with, it is all at will." ”

As she spoke, the emperor nodded, and when she had finished, he said, "Very good, you call Ma Shi, and I will command him." ”

He used some brains just now, and now he looks even weaker and pale, Xu Xun looked really uncomfortable, and wanted to let go of his hand to call Ma Shi, the emperor held her hand and did not let go, after a while, he slowly let go, Xu Xun hurriedly called Ma Shi at the door, lowered his voice, and briefly described the ins and outs to him, and when he arrived at the bed, the emperor instructed again, "How should the hospital behave, you know it in your heart, right?" ”

Ma Shi just doesn't like to read, so he can't enter the celebrant eunuch, he can serve the emperor for nearly 20 years, not only has the favor not decayed, but is becoming more and more prosperous, how can he not have some real skills? Hearing this, he said, "The emperor can rest assured. ”

Naturally, he stepped back and arranged to order, the emperor closed his eyes and rested for a while, someone brought medicine, he didn't look at it, and instructed Xu Xun, "Splash it!" ”

I'm afraid that the imperial doctor who abused the dragon and tiger medicine, after the emperor healed a little, there may not be a good result, Xu Xun poured the medicine back, and the emperor reached out to hold her again, just now, he behaved a little like a little doll, as if he didn't hold someone else's hand in his hand, he didn't feel at ease.

Xu Xun didn't feel bored, looked at the emperor's face, and just kept telling himself: he can live after all, but now he is just fragile in his illness, so why should he be so afraid?

Having said that, when she looked at the emperor, she was always sour and uncomfortable, but she couldn't take her eyes off, as if he could get better after a few more glances.

Soon, the Emperor's hand in her hand gradually relaxed, and he slid to the side, letting out a low snoring sound—he fell asleep. Xu Xun hurriedly called Ma Shilai, helped him to sleep, and covered him with the futon, but he was reluctant to leave, so he still sat on the edge of the bed and watched him. The sound of breathing was very quiet, so as not to disturb his sound sleep, she tried to think about the disadvantages of the emperor again, but now she couldn't think of anything, her eyes were full of pain, and she was slowly sour.

I don't know how long it took, it had been dark for a long time, Ma Shi invited Xu Xun to the door, and said in a low voice, "The children have returned, Lord Liu didn't tell a lie, and even a word in the file is right." ”

Xu Xun was not surprised, Imperial Doctor Liu would not tell such a lie unless he was crazy, she nodded, "Let's talk about it when the eldest brother wakes up." ”

Ma Shi naturally didn't say anything, and said, "Niangniang, you haven't had dinner yet, and the slave maid has prepared a few snacks for you in Xili......"

He and Xu Xun's voices were very low, almost whispering, but in the end they still woke up the emperor, he tossed around on the bed a few times, probably touched the air, and then called in a daze, "Ma ten, Ma ten?" - Xiao Xun? ”

Both of them were busy in front of the bed, and the emperor stretched out his hand, and when Xu Xun held it, he asked with satisfaction, "But there is a result?" ”

Ma Thirteen's words proved the credibility of Imperial Physician Liu, and when the emperor heard this, he pondered for a moment, and then said categorically, "Let Imperial Physician Liu and Imperial Physician Ran use the pulse in a single shift, and prescribe opinions, mainly with Imperial Physician Liu." Did Imperial Doctor Liu help the pulse just now? Go and ask, and if you want to help the pulse, you will immediately bring it in. ”

Ma Shi retreated, and after a while, he brought Imperial Physician Liu in, Xu Xun did not shy away from it, sitting beside the emperor and guarding, Imperial Physician Liu knelt on the ground, and also glanced at her when he arranged the pillow, she nodded at him slightly, and Imperial Physician Liu's face relaxed a lot. He gave the emperor a pulse, rolled his eyes and looked at his tongue, and worked for a while before he went down to study the prescription with Imperial Doctor Ran.

Now that everything is over, Xu Xun can retire according to reason, but she is unwilling to leave, and the emperor has no intention of letting her go, he said, "If you are hungry, take some porridge and rice to eat." ”

There are Ma Shi and Xu Xun in the house, do you still let a eunuch serve him to eat, and Xu Xun is watching? After the service was over, the emperor wanted to hold her hand again, it was late at night, and after serving him to sleep, Xu Xun had no intention of going back to Yong'an Palace, lying on the kang and his clothes, closing his eyes and falling asleep.

When he got up the next day, the emperor really got a little better, although he still had a headache, but the frequency was not dense, and he didn't have that much pain. Doctor Liu said that this is the work of acupuncture and bloodletting, as for the prescription he prescribed, it was mainly based on slow recuperation, but he did not dare to fight poison with poison anymore, and consumed the little vitality left by the emperor.

At this time, the queen mother knew that something was wrong, and she came to visit the emperor in person, and the emperor ordered her to enter the house with the queen who had passed the Qianqing Palace to talk, but he was still afraid of noise, these two people came over, Xu Xun took the opportunity to go out to the clean room, and washed up again, she stayed up until late at night last night before sleeping, and she was excited, and when she got up today, people were dizzy.

When she settled down, the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother had also left the house, but they did not leave. Xu Xun knew that he was waiting for her to pass, after all, both of them seemed to be excluded from the emperor's house, and whether they wanted to ask or advise, they could only look for her.

Unexpectedly, the queen was fine, it seemed that there was nothing to do, but the queen mother was very unhappy, and asked when she came in, "How long have you been in the palace, why don't you know how high your eyebrows and low eyes are?" You can eat more rice, and you can't talk nonsense, you don't understand this truth? ”

Xu Xun was inexplicably asked by her, and she didn't know how to answer for a while, but the queen explained, "The old lady ordered the eldest brother to serve a few more people in the palace, and asked everyone to take turns to serve the sick." The eldest brother meant, but said that he was not too sick, so there was no need to be like this, and everyone lived in peace for the New Year. The old lady asked the eldest brother who said this, and the eldest brother said it. ”

Xu Xun didn't have anything to say, the patient said casually, and the queen mother would be angry at her, what did people say? She had the heart to tell the whole thing for a while, but she also knew that this was not the time to make waves, so she had to sigh and say, "Yesterday, my eldest brother asked me if his death was coming, so I naturally wanted to appease his ......"

One sentence blocked the queen mother, and she couldn't help but feel a little sad on her face, and paused and said, "There is no one in the house, this is not the truth after all, not to mention whether you can serve so day and night, this is not like it." Emperor Wen became sick like that in his later years, and he didn't see that no one should be left to serve him in the house. ”

Xu Xun was even more at a loss, and the queen said expressionlessly, "Big brother, you don't need others to enter the house, just get close to the servants and serve you, it's enough." There are many people, and he feels that it is very noisy and has a headache. ”

Speaking of which, it makes sense that the Queen Mother should be uncomfortable, after all, others can't easily go in, and it seems to provide Xu Xun with the opportunity to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, even Xu Xun himself also feels that the illness is very tiring, and he can't even relax his diet, let alone see the psychological torture of the emperor's sickness, but the emperor has opened his mouth like this, how can she refuse? I had to smile bitterly at the Queen Mother and the Queen, and the Queen Mother vented a few words, and said, "That's it, you should serve first, and report the news to me at any time, that's it." ”

Xu Xun still didn't understand where her anger came from, but the queen behaved normally, and when the queen mother came out of the house, she whispered, "You serve the eldest brother carefully." ”

Only then did he sigh and go with the Queen Mother.

Xu Xun was stunned, slowed down for a while, and only ate a few bites of breakfast, and someone outside shouted, "The emperor asked Niangniang if it was okay." ”

#

Although the emperor was ill, after the headache subsided, his spirit was still good, and he had a strong desire to control foreign affairs. Xu Xun has any conversations outside, or if he has been delayed for a long time, he has to ask when he comes back. It is said that there is no filial son in front of the bed for a long time, Xu Xun has to serve him to eat and drink Lazar, and on the other hand, he has to deal with the queen mother and the queen's envoys, and on the other hand, he has to deal with his problems, which is really exhausting.

When he first started to have a headache, he had to hurt at least a hundred times a day, and he couldn't see things at all, after Imperial Doctor Ran entered the palace, with his acupuncture skills, and even bloodletting secret skills, the emperor's headache was greatly reduced, and now it hurts more than ten times a day, and the pain has been greatly reduced. At least, such a disease will not delay his normal vision, as for the heartache, it is much better, and now it hurts once or twice a day, but he still feels dizzy, and sometimes he vomits, so he has never gotten out of bed, let alone let others come in to serve, even Ma Shi, who thinks he does not serve well, is rough, and does not have a tacit understanding with him like Xu Xun.

Patients inevitably have some quirks, and everyone can only try to cooperate, but this year is destined to be very lonely. Almost all the celebrations are interrupted halfway, originally after the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, the palace will set off fireworks, but now it is also silent, I don't hear the sound of cannons at all, I am afraid that it will be noisy to the emperor.

Every morning, the queen will enter the palace to say hello, and all the concubines will follow her to salute the empty seat, and then depending on the emperor's mood, let her come in if she wants to see her, and if she doesn't want to see her, she can only go home. However, most of the time, the queen still came in, and this was also a rare time for Xu Xun to rest. As for the Queen Mother, because the emperor's recovery momentum was quite good, she never came over in person, but only sent people to ask Xu Xun about the details every day.

On this morning, when Aunt Qiao came to say hello, the emperor happened to be sleeping, so she could hold her breath and come over to watch his sleeping face, but after a few glances, she had to withdraw quickly, so as not to wake up the emperor, this sin is not small.

"My complexion is getting better and better, and my vitality is much stronger." Aunt Qiao was very happy, "You can hear Bixia's snoring outside the door. The old lady must be happy when she knows. ”

She told Xu Xun again, "How should I spend this Chinese New Year's Eve, remember to ask the emperor, if you can, let the children come in to pay respects, right?" That's what the old lady meant. ”

Xu Xundao, "Okay, speaking of which, what day is Chinese New Year's Eve?" ”

Being looked at strangely by Aunt Qiao, she also knew that she had said the wrong thing, and after counting, Chinese New Year's Eve was actually this day, but she was too busy and mixed up the days.

Since this is the case, this matter cannot be delayed, and when the emperor woke up, Xu Xun stepped forward to wipe his face and asked about it. The Emperor hesitated for a moment and said, "Are the children all right?" ”

Smelling the word 'good' is enough, "Don't let it in, there are too many people, and it hurts, and then ...... Alas, I don't have the strength either. ”

He has limited energy now, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to make the usual fatherly love to comfort the children who are worried about his illness, Xu Xun is the one who serves him, how can he not understand? There was also a sadness in her heart—if there was still some strength left, the emperor would not not not see the children, she said, "Okay, then the two of us will celebrate the New Year in peace." ”

In the past few days, she was not in Yong'an Palace, and the queen took the two children to take care of them, and Xu Xun was still happy to see it happen. Although the queen is not on good terms with her, she has always treated her children equally, and will not deliberately be harsh or mistreated. Xu Xun sent someone to send a letter to the two palaces, and brought a few words to Dian Dian and Zhuang'er, and then came back to serve the emperor in peace.

After taking the medicine and saying a few words with him, the emperor went to sleep, Xu Xun took the opportunity to do some private things, and he was afraid that the emperor would wake up and see no one, and he didn't dare to go far, so he was busy for a while, and then went back to the inner hall to guard. It was late at night when the Emperor woke up and asked, "What time is it?" ”

Xu Xundao, "It's time, what do you want to eat?" ”

After serving the emperor to eat soup and rice, and drink medicine, he was busy for a while, and then the emperor lay down again, Xu Xun was so tired that he stood on the ground and sighed, and then he was going to sit down on the edge of the bed again, the emperor looked at her, couldn't help but smile slightly, held her hand and pulled it forward, and said, "You also come up and lie down for a while." ”

During this time, Xu Xun slept on the kang by the window, although it was not uncomfortable, but it was different from the wooden bed she was used to, she hesitated for a while, "I'm afraid I'll fall asleep when I lie down." ”

"Then fall asleep," said the Emperor softly, "let Ma Ten keep vigil." ”

Xu Xun was not polite, let the emperor move in, she leaned on the outside and half lay down for a while, and was pulled by the emperor, so she slipped into his arms and lay down, took the initiative to stretch out her hand, loosely wrapped around his neck, afraid that if she hugged it tightly, the emperor would have some pain again.

"Xiao Xun." The emperor called her, and Xu Xun said, "Huh? ”

He didn't speak again, and after a while, he said. "Am I dying?"

Xu Xun's heart twitched, all the drowsiness was gone, she half stood up, and said unhappily, "Didn't Imperial Doctor Liu say that there is no worry about your life, besides, aren't you getting better day by day now?" Why do you make such ominous words? ”

The emperor was frightened by her, and hurriedly said, "I am ...... Alas, I'm just asking. ”

He sighed and said to himself, "Even if it's not this year, I'm afraid my hour is approaching." This time I had a headache, and I felt like I might as well die. ”

Thinking of the emperor's several serious illnesses in the past six months, Xu Xun was also a little discouraged, and endured the grievances for a long time, but after all, he couldn't hold back, and his tears fell in the blink of an eye, half angry, half sad, "How can you say this!" You die, what should I do? Even if I'm with you, what about the children? ”

In the past seven or eight days, she has worked really hard to serve the sick, every time she thinks of the emperor in the future, her heart is like a knife, and when she cries at this time, is it worth it? The emperor was busy coaxing her a few times, and only then did he gradually coax her, and seeing that Xu Xun was holding back his tears, he said half-jokingly, "You just said that, it seems that you are willing to go with me?" ”

Xu Xun didn't have the heart to think about it now, and when she heard the emperor mention it, she remembered that there was still a burial waiting after the emperor's death, she was so angry by the emperor's words, and she had the heart to choke him with the words of the year, which showed the emperor's sick face under the lamp, and he couldn't even say a word of those words that day, just shook his head and said, "That's it, you go, what's the point of me living?" Haven't I offended enough people over the years? It's better to let it go. ”

The emperor was also amused by her, and he said to himself, "Yes, this time, Niang and Sun, must be very annoyed with you again." ”

Don't look weak on his face, in fact, the matter of Qianqing Palace is very clear in his heart, Xu Xun did not say anything: Although the emperor has let her offend people again, what is the point of talking about this now?

"It's fine." He also said, "Actually, I did it on purpose, forcing you to have nowhere to go, so you can go with me, Xiao Xun, do you think I have a good plan?" ”

Xu Xun really didn't want to hear him say this dead word now, she said unhappily, "Good, good, good, wonderful, I'm not willing to go with you now?" ”

The emperor didn't respond, Xu Xun lay in his arms, after a while, her heart was really uneasy, if she hadn't heard the emperor's heartbeat, she almost thought that the emperor would-
