When Zhang Yuer and Fang Ru taught Cui Qianxue how to use ginger slices to bring tears without a trace, Zhao Junchen had already received the news that Emperor Deqing went to the Yamen of the Household Department.

After receiving this news, Zhao Junchen knew that it was inevitable that Emperor Deqing would come to Zhao Mansion to investigate his situation.

Zhao Junchen was lying on the bed, and he deliberately applied a thin layer of powder on his face, just to make his face paler.

Fang Ru hurried to lecture the servants and maids around him, telling them how to behave and how to react after seeing Emperor Deqing;

Zhang Yuer hid again, still unable to show her face, but she seemed to enjoy the feeling of hiding behind the scenes, but she didn't know how long she could be novel;

Zhang Decheng also hurried outside Zhao Junchen's bedroom, and boiled a decoction for Zhao Junchen with a cold face, so that the smell of medicinal herbs filled the vicinity of Zhao Junchen's bedroom, his expression was a little angry, and he didn't know whether he was angry that Zhao Junchen had made him violate his principles again, or angry that he couldn't hold his position again.

So, the actors, props, and the set are all in place, and everything is waiting for Emperor Deqing to come.

Just when everyone was hurriedly preparing, Cui Qianxue stayed in front of Zhao Junchen's bed, she smeared her eyes with ginger slices in advance, and her bright and moving big eyes quickly became red and swollen, looking like she had just cried, and there were no big flaws in just looking at the image.

But Cui Qianxue was still a little nervous, and the fact that she deceived the emperor made her a little uneasy and a little unconfident.

After seeing Cui Qianxue's appearance, Zhao Junchen felt a little pity in his heart.

I remember that when he first met Cui Qianxue, Cui Qianxue's temperament was quite lively and active, but now she is gradually quiet, and she has gradually lost her sense of security.

So, taking advantage of the fact that everyone was busy and not in the near future, Zhao Junchen stood up and took Cui Qianxue's little hand, and said softly: "I heard that you have been busy all morning today and prepared a large table of delicious dishes for me?" ”

Cui Qianxue was slightly stunned, distracted by Zhao Junchen's words, and saw that Zhao Junchen finally talked about something that she could participate in the discussion, which also made her vaguely happy.

So, Cui Qianxue's head connected and said: "Xianggong, during the time you left Beijing, Sister Fang Ru and Sister Yu'er are both sharing business for Xianggong, I don't know anything, and I can't help much, everything in the house is foiled by Jiayi, and it doesn't take much energy, so I went to the inner kitchen to learn some cooking skills, just thinking that Xianggong can let Xianggong taste it after you come back." ”

Zhao Junchen asked with a smile: "Have you learned what to cook?" ”

Seeing that Zhao Junchen paid so much attention to himself, and talked about what he was good at, Cui Qianxue further diverted her attention, and her tone was also with a hint of excitement and boasting, and said quickly: "I know that Xianggong likes to eat fatty meat, so I learned Dongpo meat, Dongpi elbow, and plum cabbage button meat; But I thought that it was not good to eat fatty meat, and it was easy to get tired, so I also learned to stuff lion's head, stew lotus root soup, and stir-fry kale; I also heard that Dr. Zhang said that eating fish is good for the body, so I learned how to steam fish, boil fish soup, and cook fish ......"

Zhao Junchen's conversation with Cui Qianxue was originally just to divert Cui Qianxue's attention and relieve her nervousness.

But listening to Cui Qianxue gushing about the cooking skills she had learned, Zhao Junchen's heart couldn't help but warm, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was a little more sincere.

waited until Cui Qianxue talked about all the skills she had learned, Zhao Junchen praised: "Qianxue is so powerful, and she also has a heart, she has learned so many crafts!" After we deal with Your Majesty, I will immediately taste Qianxue's craftsmanship. ”

Cui Qianxue became more and more happy, but she was also a little distressed, frowning and said: "The dishes I made in the morning are already cold, if I eat them after they are hot, I am afraid that they will lose their taste...... But if I do it all over again, I won't be able to catch up with ......."

Seeing Cui Qianxue's distressed appearance, Zhao Junchen patted Cui Qianxue's head with a smile, and said in a sincere tone: "It's okay, as long as Qianxue cooks the dishes, I will definitely like to eat it."

Hearing Zhao Junchen's words, Cui Qianxue's cheeks were slightly red and she smiled shyly, but she finally regained some of her original carefree appearance.

But soon, Cui Qianxue remembered the matter of Emperor Deqing again, and couldn't help but ask worriedly: "Xianggong, did we really hide it from Your Majesty this time?" I—I'm afraid that I won't be able to do it well. ”

Zhao Junchen's expression was calm, and he said in a calm tone: "Your Majesty was originally suspicious by nature, and I am too young and powerful, so I will inevitably be regarded as a hidden danger by him...... In this case, even if I just ate an extra bowl of rice tonight, he will be suspicious when he receives the news!

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to completely eliminate his suspicions, but as long as he does not find a flaw, it is not difficult. You don't have to worry that you won't be able to do well, you just have to lower your head and pretend to cry when the time comes, and the rest of the things will naturally be dealt with by Fang Ru, Your Majesty is the Ninety-Five, and he has always boasted of being very high, and he will never make things difficult for you, a woman. ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen say this, Cui Qianxue was finally a little relieved.

At this time, Fang Ru hurriedly entered the bedroom again and said, "Master, Your Majesty has arrived!" also took Zhao Ying'er with him. ”

Zhao Junchen nodded, lay back on the bed, and said with an unchanged expression: "Then let's take the drive, but I won't show up...... I told Your Majesty that I was not feeling well and was completely unable to get out of bed. ”

After Fang Ru nodded lightly, she pulled Cui Qianxue and left together.

Emperor Deqing and Concubine Zhao Ying'er came to the Zhao Mansion together, Cui Qianxue is the wife of the Zhao Mansion, when Zhao Junchen can't show up in person, she must come forward to meet Zhao Junchen on behalf of Zhao Junchen.

*

However, it was said that after Emperor Deqing came to the Zhao Mansion, when he was waiting for everyone in the Zhao Mansion to greet him, he found Wen Caining, the imperial doctor who was wandering outside the Zhao Mansion.

Emperor Deqing immediately summoned Wen Caining to the side of the imperial car, and asked Wen Caining through the sedan curtain: "Imperial Doctor Wen, Zhao Junchen, he is still unwilling to let you diagnose your body?" ”

Wen Caining lowered his head and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, Zhao Gechen hates Weichen now, I only think that Weichen's misdiagnosis in the court today almost killed him, but he doesn't want to see Weichen no matter what, and now he has blocked Weichen from the house...... He said he now only believes in Mr. Zhang's diagnosis. ”

After Emperor Deqing was silent for a moment, he asked again: "Do you think that Zhao Junchen's coma is true or false?" ”

Wen Caining was slightly stunned, but he didn't think that Zhao Junchen would pretend to be unconscious.

Wen Caining was an honest man, and after thinking seriously for a while, he said: "Wei Chen can only say that with Zhao Gechen's current physical condition, once he is overworked or overexcited, he may indeed be in a coma...... This morning, if it weren't for Your Majesty's attitude, Wei Chen would never dare to guarantee that Zhao Gechen's physical condition would still be able to persist in handling official business. ”

Emperor Deqing's voice was a little dissatisfied, and he asked, "Are you resentful?" ”

Wen Caining hurriedly lowered his head and said: "Weichen doesn't dare, he has no such intention!" ”

After Emperor Deqing snorted lightly, he said: "When the people of the Zhao Mansion come out to greet you, you will follow me into the Zhao Mansion, and the people of the Zhao Mansion will never dare to stop you again, and Zhao Junchen will also let you make a diagnosis...... When the time comes, you must make a careful diagnosis and not miss any signs. ”

"Wechen obeys!"

Just after Emperor Deqing and Wen Caining talked, everyone in the Zhao Mansion hurriedly came to the outside of the mansion to greet them.

Under the greetings of Cui Qianxue, Fang Ru and others, Emperor Deqing also got off the imperial chariot and took the lead in walking towards the Zhao Mansion.

Behind Emperor Deqing's royal car, Concubine Zhao Ying'er also hurriedly left the car and followed Emperor Deqing into Zhao's mansion.

When he stepped into the Zhao Mansion, Emperor Deqing also changed his expression of concern again, turned his head to Cui Qianxue and asked, "I heard that after Zhao Aiqing fainted, I hurried to visit!" What happened to Zhao Aiqing? Is your body better? ”

However, in the face of Emperor Deqing's inquiry, Cui Qianxue only bowed her head and cried softly, but did not answer.

Zhao Yinger had lived in Zhao Mansion for a few months before entering the palace, and she was also familiar with Cui Qianxue, but now after seeing Cui Qianxue only sobbing, she hurriedly walked to Cui Qianxue's side to comfort her.

After seeing this scene, although Emperor Deqing was displeased in his heart, he couldn't have a seizure.

On the other side, Fang Ru hurriedly replied instead of Cui Qianxue: "Your Majesty, my lord is resting in bed now, he originally wanted to greet him personally, but he is really weak...... Doctor Zhang said that my lord has been overdrawn for a period of time, and he was originally deficient in qi and blood, and when he was emotional, he was in a coma, and he had already applied an acupuncture to calm his qi and blood, and he also prescribed medicine to boil medicine. ”

After Emperor Deqing nodded, he continued to walk towards Zhao's mansion.

Speaking of which, the last time Emperor Deqing came to Zhao's mansion was to visit Zhao Junchen's condition, it was a year ago.

Zhao Junchen was seriously ill twice in a year, which is not too strange, but the timing of these two illnesses was too coincidental.

Thinking of this, Emperor Deqing's heart became more and more suspicious.

Emperor Deqing has a good memory, and he still remembers the location of Zhao Junchen's bedroom, and after entering the Zhao Mansion, he didn't need the people of the Zhao Mansion to lead the way, so he walked quickly towards Zhao Junchen's bedroom location.

Soon, Emperor Deqing had already come to the vicinity of Zhao Junchen's bedroom, and found that the servants of the Zhao Mansion in the vicinity all had serious expressions and were busy and hurried.

At the same time, Emperor Deqing also smelled a strong smell of medicinal soup, and also saw Zhang Decheng boiling the soup in a small stove from a distance.

Emperor Deqing turned his head to Wen Caining and asked, "Imperial Doctor Wen, can you tell which medicinal materials Zhang Decheng has boiled?" ”

After Wen Caining sniffed the smell of the medicinal soup with his nose, he showed admiration on his face and said: "Dendrobium, notoginseng, mainly astragalus...... They are all medicinal materials that nourish the spirit and replenish qi, and the collocation is also just right, and the medical skills of Doctor Zhang are really extraordinary. ”

Emperor Deqing nodded slightly, and then walked into Zhao Junchen's bedroom.

Then, Emperor Deqing saw Zhao Junchen lying on the bed with a pale face and a weak expression, and now he was struggling to get up to meet Emperor Deqing.

Emperor Deqing walked quickly to Zhao Junchen's bed, but pressed Zhao Junchen back to the bed, his expression was more and more full of concern, and said: "Since Junchen is unwell, you don't have to get up to greet him, lie down and rest." ”

After Zhao Junchen lay down again, Emperor Deqing sighed lightly: "After I received the news that Junchen had fainted, I hurried to the Hubu Yamen to visit...... Is Junchen's body better? ”

After a few months, Emperor Deqing finally used the word "Junchen" to call Zhao Junchen again, and the two no longer seemed to be in harmony.

On the side, Zhao Ying'er comforted Cui Qianxue, who was still sobbing non-stop, and interjected: "Yes, cousin, don't you know how worried Your Majesty was after learning that you passed out!" Alas, you've worked too hard during this time, so you must take a break in the future. ”

Zhao Junchen was full of shame, and said in a trembling voice: "The minister is guilty!" The minister is ashamed of His Majesty's expectations! Originally, I wanted to help His Majesty revitalize the household department, but I didn't expect the minister's body to be so uncompetitive and collapsed before he could make any achievements......"

Speaking of the back, Zhao Junchen was already crying, and he seemed to be extremely ashamed.

Emperor Deqing secretly observed Zhao Junchen's reaction, but on the surface he was silent, and sighed: "It's also strange that I was negligent!" Knowing that Junchen is not in good health, he still handed over the burden of the household to you, and I also harmed you! ”

Zhao Ying'er interjected again: "Yes, Your Majesty, you can make up for your cousin......"

Emperor Deqing concentrated on talking to Zhao Junchen, and when he saw Zhao Ying'er constantly interjecting, he couldn't help but turn his head and warn Zhao Ying'er with his eyes, Zhao Ying'er's expression changed, and he suddenly didn't dare to speak anymore.

Zhao Junchen didn't seem to notice all this, but said again and again: "It's all the minister's body is useless, how can you blame Your Majesty!" ”

Emperor Deqing changed his words, but he beckoned Wen Caining to walk to Zhao Junchen's bed.

Then, Emperor Deqing said to Zhao Junchen: "Zhao Aiqing, I also know that you resent Imperial Doctor Wen for misdiagnosing your body during today's court meeting, but after all, he is the head of the imperial hospital, let him diagnose you again, with his medical skills, he will never misdiagnose your body twice!" Let Imperial Doctor Wen and Divine Doctor Zhang treat you together, and I can feel more at ease. ”

Zhao Junchen glanced at Wen Caining, it seemed that he was still a little resentful, but after all, he didn't dare to go against Emperor Deqing's attitude, and finally nodded lightly in agreement.

Wen Caining was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly took action to diagnose Zhao Junchen.

After Wen Caining's diagnosis was over, Emperor Deqing hurriedly asked, "Imperial Doctor Wen, how is Zhao Aiqing's condition?" ”

Wen Caining said with a solemn expression: "As the minister said at today's court meeting, Zhao Gechen's body is too weak, and he must rest in time!" But because Doctor Zhang gave Zhao Gechen an injection in time, Zhao Gechen's qi deficiency was no longer surging. ”

Then, Wen Caining described Zhao Junchen's physical condition in detail.

And because of today's court meeting, Wen Caining deliberately described Zhao Junchen's situation as serious, for fear that Emperor Deqing would let him carry the black pot again.

Emperor Deqing didn't notice any flaws, and a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure and said to Zhao Junchen: "Alas, Junchen's situation is so serious, he really needs to rest for a while!" In the next month, Junchen, you can rest and recuperate, and you don't have to worry about the affairs of the household department anymore! I have already explained to the household department, so that the household department will mainly do things in the future, those old qualified household officials have followed Junchen for many years, and have also learned some of Junchen's methods, I believe that they will be able to maintain the operation of the household department. ”

Emperor Deqing's words hinted at his initial compromise to Zhao Junchen, saying that he had returned part of the authority of the household department to the "Zhao Party".

Zhao Junchen still didn't seem to be aware of Emperor Deqing's deep meaning, and just said: "That's good, those old people in the household department are indeed capable, and they will definitely do their best!" Please also ask Your Majesty to rest assured, and after the ministers have recovered their health, they will go to the household department again to sit in the town and assist the household department to tide over the current difficulties. ”

These words are obviously Zhao Junchen's response, saying that the household department will maintain operation for a period of time in the future, and after he recovers his body, he will also help the household department solve the problem.

After receiving Zhao Junchen's assurance, Emperor Deqing nodded with a complicated expression, not only dissatisfied with his forced compromise, but also satisfied with Zhao Junchen's knowledge of advance and retreat.

In this way, after the two monarchs and ministers made a secret transaction, Emperor Deqing once again condoled Zhao Junchen with a few words.

Then, Zhao Yinger finally found an opportunity to express her concern, and she was secretly relieved after learning that Zhao Junchen's situation was not particularly serious.

Just when Emperor Deqing and Zhao Ying'er were condolences to Zhao Junchen, Fang Ru noticed Zhang Zhaodi in the corner, so she took the initiative to approach Zhang Zhaodi's side and talk to Zhang Zhaodi in a low voice.

About another incense stick time later, Emperor Deqing never found any sign that Zhao Junchen's coma was just a disguise, and saw that the fatigue in Zhao Junchen's expression became more and more obvious, so he comforted Zhao Junchen again After a few words, he finally said that he wanted to return to the palace.

Seeing that Emperor Deqing was leaving, everyone in the Zhao Mansion went out of the mansion to send them off.

Under the congratulations of everyone in the Zhao Mansion, Emperor Deqing and Zhao Ying'er left the Zhao Mansion, boarded the car again, and soon left far away.

After seeing Emperor Deqing leave, Fang Ru, Cui Qianxue and others finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that they had finally concealed Emperor Deqing.

However, Fang Ru and Cui Qianxue didn't know that after Emperor Deqing left the Zhao Mansion in a public car, he immediately instructed Zhang De, the great eunuch outside the public car: "Send someone to tell Zhan Shanchang and let him find a way to find out the true situation of Zhao Junchen." ”

Zhang De's eyes flashed, and he hurriedly agreed.

*

said that in Zhao Junchen's bedroom, seeing that Emperor Deqing had finally left, and everyone in the room had also left and sent him out of the house, Zhao Junchen's heart was also secretly relieved.

All the things of this day have finally been dealt with.

While secretly relaxing in his heart, Zhao Junchen's body and mind suddenly surged with a burst of exhaustion.

This exhaustion came too quickly and too strongly, Zhao Junchen couldn't hold on at all, he only felt dizzy and his eyelids couldn't help but be together.

"I can't sleep yet, I promised Qianxue just now, I want to try her craftsmanship today......"

"I have been away from the capital for more than three months, and there are too many things that need to be dealt with as soon as possible, and too much information that needs to be analyzed as soon as possible, but I can't delay it......."

"Also, how to completely regain the authority of the household department in the next step also needs to be carefully planned......"

While all the thoughts in Zhao Junchen's heart were turning, his head was turning slower and slower, and he gradually closed his eyes, and his breathing soon eased.

In this way, Zhao Junchen fell into a deep sleep.

Since this day, Zhao Junchen was too tired, first arrived in the capital in a hurry, then intrigued with the Seventh Prince Zhu Hejian, then the court discussion and the concert in the Taihe Palace, then the performance of the Hubu Yamen, and finally the investigation of Emperor Deqing.

Before he knew it, it was already evening, and Zhao Junchen had been exhausted for a whole day.

Zhao Junchen's physical condition during this period of time was originally not good, after so many things, he naturally overdrew his mental strength again, but now he was just a little relaxed, and he couldn't help but fall asleep.

Zhao Junchen slept too deeply, even when Cui Qianxue and Fang Ru returned to the room with everyone in the Zhao Mansion, they still couldn't wake him up.

Cui Qianxue and Fang Ru's two daughters couldn't help but be shocked when they saw Zhao Junchen lying motionless on the bed with his eyes closed, but they soon heard Zhao Junchen's soft snoring between his mouth and nose.

Zhang Decheng walked to Zhao Junchen's bed, stretched out his hand to probe Zhao Junchen's breathing and pulsation, turned around and nodded to Cui Qianxue and Fang Ru's second daughter and said, "Zhao Gechen is just asleep, his body is fine, but don't wake him up, he's too tired today, let him take this opportunity to take a good rest." ”

Seeing the fatigue on Zhao Junchen's sleeping face, Cui Qianxue felt a little regretful that Zhao Junchen could not fulfill his promise and taste his craftsmanship today, but she felt even more sorry for Zhao Junchen's hardships and overdraft during this time, nodded and sighed: "Yes, Xianggong is too tired, let him have a good rest." ”

After speaking, Cui Qianxue moved a stool and sat down in front of Zhao Junchen's bed, but she planned to stay here tonight to take care of Zhao Junchen.

Seeing Cui Qianxue's approach, Fang Ru couldn't help frowning slightly, but after she hesitated for a moment, she finally sighed the same, and then left the room with the others, and by the way, she also took Zhang Yu'er, who had just received the news of Emperor Deqing's departure and hurried here.

After everyone left the room, Cui Qianxue tidied up the bedding on the bed for Zhao Junchen, and then lay on Zhao Junchen's bed with her upper body like this, and also gently closed her eyes that were still red and swollen.
