The Qianqing Palace is in the center of the entire palace, it is the place where the emperor works daily and deals with political affairs, and the side hall is the sleeping palace, if the emperor does not have the intention of pampering the concubines, it is to rest in the side hall. The old man has told me in detail before, and he has been studying the model for several days, so he is still very familiar with the buildings in the palace, and he will not go wrong on the road.

At this time, the emperor was Ming Muzong Zhu Zaiyuan, and the year name was Longqing. This year is the second year of his ascension to the throne, at the beginning of his accession to the throne, he reused virtuous ministers and capable ministers, focused on reform, punished traitors and eliminated evil, eliminated maladministration, rehabilitated unjust prisons, paid attention to people's livelihood, opened the sea ban, consolidated border defense, and made the entire Longqing Dynasty stable and economically prosperous. Although he was a little lazy and very lascivious, he was still a commendable emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

From afar, I saw that the Qianqing Palace was brightly lit, and the foundation of the entire Qianqing Palace was originally higher than the surrounding palaces, so I could see it clearly from afar, and came to the palace gate, but I saw a few eunuchs standing at the entrance of the palace, and there were four third-class imperial guards under the steps, I went over to say hello, and several people generally knew me, because they were all there when the holy decree was read that day, and one of the leaders said: "Isn't this the Lan guard, how did you transfer here." ”

I saw that several of them were older than me, so I said, "Brothers, brothers, I came here temporarily tonight to take over, I don't know where Guard Feng is, I want to report to him." ”

"It turned out that he came to replace Lao Sun, the hard Lan guard, you wait a minute, Feng Guard went to inspect the surroundings."

After saying that, the guard stood there like a mud tire, this is the most basic of the imperial guard, standing like a pine, not squinting, and holding his head high. I'm not on duty yet, so I certainly won't be standing there like them, so I'm just a few steps away and looking around idly.

After waiting for half a pillar of incense, I didn't see the Feng guard come back, I was also a little impatient, and I just wanted to ask again, but I saw the brightly lit hall, the door of the hall opened, and a eunuch ran out of it, followed by a panicked woman. The eunuch shouted while running, and when he walked to the bottom of the steps, he accidentally fell and ate, I saw that it didn't work, the eunuch was the most jealous, if he was jealous, he wouldn't have to mix it up in the future.

The woman who followed the eunuch did not stop, but ignored the eunuch's fall. Walk past him and walk into the distance. I see, the other guards are on duty, can't move casually, only I am idle, quickly help him up, the eunuch "oops, oops" screamed, while rubbing the arm that was broken, and said to me: "I'm afraid that the leg of the Sprinkle family is twisted, this guard, go and call the imperial doctor, the emperor is dizzy." ”

As soon as I heard this, I quickly helped him to sit down on the steps and said, "Father-in-law, you sit first, and I will go to the hospital immediately." ”

After speaking, he took off the waist knife and trotted to the hospital.

With his familiarity with the road, he didn't take much of the wrong road, and after a while, he came to the Tai Hospital, but he saw that the Tai Hospital was dark and rumbling, and only the innermost room was lit. I hurried to the lighted room and shouted outside the door: "Which imperial doctor is on duty, the emperor is dizzy, hurry up." ”

I only heard the sound of wearing Xi Xi Suosuo wearing clothes inside, and then the door opened, and an old man dressed as a fifty-year-old imperial doctor came out, wearing a six-grade official uniform, and at a glance he knew that it was the kind of character who did not enter the stream, and the old man saw me standing here and asked: "This guard, where is the emperor fainted, and how did he faint." ”

"In the Qianqing Palace, I don't know how to faint, you hurry up and pack your things, you can't afford to eat if you delay."

"It's a little troublesome if you don't know how to faint, you can do me a favor, I'm going to bring the medical box over, because I don't know how the emperor fainted, so I need to carry a lot of things, I'm afraid I can't take it myself."

I said, "Okay, can you hurry up, I can't wait." ”

The doctor turned around and went into the house unhurriedly, then came out with a box and handed it to me, closed the door and said, "Okay, let's go." ”

I carried the heavy medical box and said, "Is that all?" "I just asked.

Then the doctor said, "Yes! That's all. Young man, don't say more, I'm older than I am older, I'm in my fifties, and you're only in your twenties, so you should also carry it, and then I'll carry it, go to see the emperor, such a heavy box, such a long way, I won't be out of breath when I get there, how can I evaluate the emperor's pulse without resting. ”

There is no way to meet such a scoundrel, but people are also reasonable, so they have to say: "This imperial doctor, I didn't want to mention it, it's not that I'm afraid that you will forget to take something else, so I asked you, don't be careful." "I'll just shut up. I only listened to the doctor's babbling, and I pretended not to hear it, and walked briskly ahead.

When I arrived at the bottom of the steps of the Qianqing Palace, the imperial doctor was still a dozen steps away from me, panting after me. The eunuch who was sitting at the foot of the steps, when he saw me coming, stood up with a grin and said, "Brother guard, please help me in." "I handed the medical box to the imperial doctor who had just come to the bottom of the steps, and helped the eunuch to walk towards the Qianqing Palace.

Come to the door and see. The main hall is full of lanterns, it is very bright inside, the Qianqing Palace is very large, there are not many furnishings inside, it seems a little empty, and I didn't see where the emperor was, I saw a few palace maids and eunuchs, standing solemnly at the door of the side hall.

The eunuch shouted to the imperial doctor who followed behind: "Old Monster Su, the emperor is in the side hall, you go quickly." "It seems that this eunuch knows the eunuch, and his tone is quite familiar. I saw that the imperial doctor named Su Lao Wei walked quickly past the two of us and entered the side hall.

I also helped the eunuch and followed into the side hall, but I saw that the inside of the side hall was much more luxurious than the outside, and the furniture and utensils inside were also placed in a patchwork manner, and there were dozens of pots of blooming chrysanthemums against the wall.

There is a large bed in the center of the side hall, on which is a bright yellow curtain, decorated with pink cherry blossoms, and there is a person lying on the bed, with a sallow and thin face, in his thirties, covered with a golden quilt. I guess this is the emperor? How did he look so haggard, not as majestic and tall as I imagined.

There were also a few eunuchs and palace maids around the bedside, the imperial doctor put down the medical box, came to the bedside, and put on the emperor's wrist, which seemed to be evaluating the pulse, only to see the imperial doctor, with his eyes closed, after a cup of tea, he put down the emperor's wrist.

said: "Grandpa Chen, the emperor is fine, I ordered to stew some ginseng soup below, I will let the emperor wake up first, just drink it, the emperor is a big loss of vitality, and he didn't make up for it, so he fainted, and you have to remind him in the future." ”

"Old Monster Su, what you said, how dare I remind the emperor, I can only find a way to make the emperor transfer his interest to other conveniences, but the effect is not good, the emperor is just like this, what can I do."

The imperial doctor named Su Lao Wei didn't speak again, but opened the medical box, took out a small white porcelain bottle from it, opened the cork, and a fresh fragrance came out, and Su Lao Wei took out a little black ointment from it with a small silver spoon, and said to the Chen Gonggong: "You come, or I come." ”

That Chen Gonggong said: "Come on, my leg hurts when I walk like this." ”

"Okay, then I'll come, I'll give you a medicine later, and treat your feet by the way, I'll let the emperor wake up first."
