Yongjinmen, it is late at night.

Seven or eight carriages hurriedly drove outside the door, and the sound of horses' hooves was like a crushed rain after a muffled thunder, smashing densely on the smooth bluestone ground.

Tiehua held a pair of pear flower guns in his hand, and stood by the door in high spirits, and when he saw the carriage coming from a distance, he made a gesture, and the guards behind him immediately pushed open the heavy city gate and let the car in.

The two guards on the tower whispered:

"It's the hospital car again."

"yes...... Don't you think it's been coming more and more often these days? ”

"Why don't you think, in the past, we could secretly take turns taking a nap at night, since Your Majesty suffered from Dire, General Chenglang stayed here every night, we didn't even dare to relieve ourselves. If I continue like this, I'm afraid I won't even live to forty. ”

"Hey, that's it, when it's not good, it's always in the middle of the night......"

"Shut up, you dare to say such things, I think you are tired of being crooked."

“……”

The procession of carriages rushed all the way to a stop in front of the Rite Palace. More than a dozen imperial doctors hurriedly got out of the car, looking panicked, but the official uniforms on their bodies were very neat, obviously waiting all night in the hospital to prepare.

In front of the hall, a beautiful woman stood with her hands behind her back, wearing a double fish gold silk crown and a bright red cloak, and her abdomen bulged very obviously. She heard footsteps behind her, and as soon as she turned around, the dozen or so imperial doctors were already kneeling on the ground in unison:

"Meet Her Royal Highness Princess Qing Shark."

Zhu Zhiling was about to speak, when suddenly there was an exclamation in the Dingxiang Palace: "Your Majesty, ......" followed by a cracking sound of porcelain, as if something had been smashed to the ground.

"Don't be too busy saluting, go and see." Zhu Zhiling waved his hand, and those imperial doctors hurriedly bowed down and stepped into the hall.

Zhu Zhiling watched the imperial doctors disappear into the palace gate, slowly turned around and paced, and entered the side hall of Phi Xiang, where a man sat at the table and dozed off with his hands on his forehead.

Zhu Zhiling picked up a feather scarf on the side and put it on for the man, and said strangely: "In the end, it's night, why don't you put it on a little." ”

The man opened his eyes and saw that it was his wife, helped her sit down and asked, "Are the doctors here?" ”

"I have entered the temple."

"Why don't you go and see?"

"What is there to see?"

"Aren't you worried about your mother in the slightest?"

Zhu Zhiling snorted coldly: "I just heard that she still has the strength to smash things, and it is expected to be fine." ”

Zhao Wuyun said "tsk" twice in his mouth, as if he was mocking, but his face was very satisfied.

"I didn't expect you to hate your mother so much."

"You really didn't expect that? Or do you just want to say a few cool words? Zhu Zhiling's eyebrows moved. The husband has always been open-mouthed when he speaks to himself, but this hatred is a wound in the bottom of his heart, and no one likes to be touched casually.

Zhao Wuyun hurriedly waved his hand and smiled: "It's just a joke, don't come to watch me", and said: "I don't understand, why did your mother suddenly become sick like this?" ”

"Freezing three feet is not a day's cold, she has loved her little sister for a long time, and she has not been able to find anyone for a month, so she is naturally anxious."

"But this Dire is so strange, it is good during the day, but it will be sick at night. It made the chickens and dogs in this Jinmen restless, and people had to guard here in the middle of the night. At first, the Imperial Doctor still came every few days, but now we are on duty almost every night, and we have to be here too, when is the head. After Zhao Wuyun finished speaking, he yawned.

"She's sick with a heart, and it's useless to have any doctors."

"Heart disease?"

"A few days ago, I called the palace maid to ask quietly, saying that when my mother was sick, in addition to calling Xiaomei, she would also call another person's name."

"Who?"

Zhu Zhiling bit her lip and hesitated for a while before saying, "...... My father. ”

"It's your little sister who lost it, why do you call your father ......"

"My mother will cherish my little sister very much, because my little sister has never seen her father, and my mother always says that she should love her more for her father who died young. Now that the little sister has disappeared, she will naturally feel ashamed of her father. What's more, in the dead of night, she took my father ...... It's not surprising that night thoughts become nightmares. Speaking of this, Zhu Zhiling's face was already pale, and she propped one hand on the table.

Zhao Wuyun stretched out his hand and stroked her back: "Okay, let's not get involved in these past events first, the child in your womb is getting bigger and bigger, and it is useless to increase your worries." ”

He paused and asked, "But what about next?" You can't just spend days and nights, right? Is it true that Xiaomei can't find it? ”

"There's nothing I can't find here, but I don't want to look for it."

"Why is that?"

Zhu Zhiling took a closer look around, and after confirming that there was no one, he said in a low voice:

"I have sent the letter of the Northern Expedition to Cangwu, and Emperor Wen has also replied to the letter, and now I only wait for the autumn to send troops on a later date. Now that my mother is seriously ill and less concerned about state affairs, it is more convenient for me to secretly dispatch troops. As long as I can't find my little sister for a day, my mother won't be able to get up for a day, isn't this just right? ”

"So you're making such calculations...... But after all, she's your little sister, so don't you look for it? ”

"Don't worry about the little sister's affairs, Liu Mingyan has already sent the news, saying that she saw her go to the southwest waterway."

"The Southwestern Waterway? How did she go where? ”

"She's just a headless fly, and I guess she's just wandering around Binzhou now."

"How do you know that?"

"The last place where Su Xiaochen disappeared was by the Hanjiang Ferry, according to her temperament, if she couldn't find Su Xiaochen on Nanhua Island, she would definitely go there."

"I see...... Then if you don't look for her again, won't you be sure where she will go next? ”

"Hengzhu is just the territory of the blue sea, no matter how capable she is, she can't cross the river, I have already explained the tun army at the ferry, and I won't know if there is news."

"Even if you don't cross the river, the Blue Sea Country is so big, I'm afraid it's not easy to find, right?"

"What's so hard about finding her?"

"How?"

"You don't have to look for it. Now that my mother is seriously ill, I have sealed the news, so no one knows about it outside Yongjinmen. If I really want to find my little sister, I only need to go to the Wanshou Altar outside the city to pray once, saying that it is to pray for the mother and the emperor, and pray for her to recover as soon as possible, then the news will immediately spread all over the world, indicating that His Majesty is seriously ill. When the news reaches the ears of the little sister, she must be uneasy, and she will return to Taiye City by herself in less than ten days, so why bother me to find it. ”

"Sure enough, it's a good plan." Zhao Wuyin couldn't help but secretly admire, his wife really had a plan.

"It's just a matter of pushing the boat along the river, and my mother herself is ashamed of becoming a madman, so I just have to deal with it."

Zhao Wuyun looked at her and sighed: "Sometimes I look at you as gentle as water, and sometimes I look at you and feel cold like ice." ”

"Whoever is an emperor and a monarch must be like this...... When it comes to ruthlessness, I can't compare with the imperial grandmother. She is the one who kills her life

He was decisive and never hesitated. ”

"You want to be a king like her?"

Zhu Zhiling gently rested her head on her husband's shoulder and said, "No...... I don't want to. If man is ruthless in every way, then he is no longer a human being, but a ghost of purgatory, who has nothing to fear and has nothing to rely on. I will be the king in the future, and I will be above everyone else, and I will become a loner, but I want to leave a little bit of human appearance somewhere. Maybe it will keep me from forgetting who I am. ”

As she spoke, she reached out and rubbed her husband's thin face and looked into his eyes.

"I did everything I could to keep you, do you know what I mean? Boundless ......"

"I understand."

"That's good......"

Zhu Zhiling snuggled in Zhao Wuyin's arms contentedly, and there were a few sounds of porcelain breaking in the Dingxiang Hall in the distance, but she didn't seem to hear it at all.

Mother, you have today.

You wanted to be like the Imperial Grandmother, but failed, right? Father's business makes you feel like a fish in your throat, and one card is twenty years. You can't be as ruthless as your grandmother, and you can't be as consistent as me, you're a complete failure!

I can't find my little sister, so you have nightmares every night.

That's nice.

It's a pleasure!

I was covered in cold sweat and trembling!

You can finally understand how I've spent my twenty years of nights, right?

When you fall asleep, you will have a nightmare, and only at dawn can you sleep peacefully.

Retribution!

The two were sitting when a physician ran in in a panic.

"Oh no, no."

Zhu Zhiling looked displeased, "What's the matter!" ”

"Your Majesty...... She passed out. ”

"Passed out?" Zhu Zhiling listened, and there was no intention of moving under his feet, "Why did you faint?" ”

"There are clouds in the medical scriptures: the liver hides blood, the blood gives up the soul, the soul is hurt when the sorrow is moving, the soul is frightened, the night is not sleepy, and the sleep is also nightmare......"

"Don't tell me it's useless! Plain point! Zhu Zhiling scolded.

The imperial doctor kowtowed like garlic and said busily: "It's just that I'm in a hurry." ”

"It's okay."

"Occasional seizures, although they are detrimental to the Holy Communion, can still be recuperated, but if they are frequent, they will accumulate over time."

"You go down first!"

Zhao Wuyin watched the imperial doctor almost roll out of the hall, and asked, "Listening to what the imperial doctor said, it seems that he is not lightly ill, don't you go to the palace to have a look?" ”

"She's all fainted, and I'm not a doctor, what's the use of going to see it?" Zhu Zhiling looked disgusted, "But you can't let her get too sick and cause any trouble." ”

As he spoke, he called out loudly: "Come on, go and see if the people from Qinglian Palace who invited Princess Yinquan have returned." ”

As soon as the words fell, a palace maid rushed to the outside of the hall and replied: "Your Highness, the slave maid has just come back, but Her Royal Highness Princess Yinquan said that there has been a lot of rain recently, and rheumatism has been committed again, so she can only come to visit Your Majesty another day." ”

"Hmph, what rheumatism...... Step aside. ”

"What's wrong with your aunt?" Zhao Wuyin was puzzled.

"What else could it be? It's not all the bane they planted back then. Before the second sister got married, her aunt and mother fell out, and they moved away from Qinghui Palace and moved to the farthest Qinglian Palace. I was expecting her to come and comfort my mother a few words, but I didn't want her to put on such an old and dead appearance now, the older she gets, the more uneasy she becomes. ”
