Time flies quickly, autumn is coming in a blink of an eye, Li Zhang looked at the growing potatoes in the yard, and his heart became more and more excited, and he even wanted to dig it out immediately to see the yield, but he was afraid that the time was not right, and he would be too disappointed if the potatoes did not grow below, and the result was that he was very entangled every day.

Speaking of potatoes, this thing is really not as good as corn and wheat and the like, people grow on the ground, how the yield can be seen at a glance, but potatoes grow in the ground, unless they are dug up, God knows how much the yield is? Of course, this kind of underground crops also have benefits, that is, they have strong resistance to some natural disasters, such as hail, locusts, etc., of course, the underground is also easy to attract insects, after all, there are advantages and disadvantages.

Now the weather is getting cooler day by day, and the potatoes are no longer as lush as before, and even the leaves under them are slightly yellow, it seems that they should be about to be harvested, but Li Zhang is still waiting patiently, he wants to wait until the autumn harvest before harvesting, anyway, potatoes can grow for half a year, and they can grow for a year, so it doesn't hurt to grow for a few more days.

In addition to worrying about potatoes, Li Zhang lived a very comfortable life during this time, Yelu Yanshou soon announced that the princess died of illness after leaving the border of the Great Song Dynasty, and then returned to Liao with the mission, although he was inevitably punished if he went back like this, but he had a deep background, and there would be a possibility of a comeback in the future.

In addition, Lu Wu has been investigating the matter of Shui Yuanzi, but because too much time has passed, the information that can be found is very limited, but Lu Wu has not given up, it seems that if he does not find out about Shui Yuanzi's affairs, he will definitely not give up. And Li Zhang went to the plane from time to time to search for it, and now he brought back all the things he could bring back.

In addition, this period of time seems to be very calm, the brothers of the wild dog did not appear again, and nothing happened in the palace, Li Zhang went to school every day to study, occasionally brought something interesting to Zhao Zhen, and from time to time he would go with Zhao Zhen to accompany Miao Yuan, speaking of which Miao Yuan's body is much better now, and now he can run and jump, and he is no longer as sick as before.

During this time, a very interesting thing happened, that is, Jin Shan suddenly came to Li Zhang's place one day, coughing and shouting to settle accounts with Li Zhang, it turned out that he finally couldn't help but open the canned herring, but he was smoked and vomited on the spot, so he came to Li Zhang to settle the account, but Li Zhang laughed and explained for a long time before sending Jin Shan away.

"Father is sick again!" On this day, Li Zhang just came to Zishantang, but when he saw Zhao Zhen, he complained to him with a sad face.

"Why are you sick again, is it serious?" Li Zhang also frowned when he heard this, Zhao Heng was damaged because of chronic heavy metal poisoning for a long time, this thing is irreversible, even if Liu E has replaced his golden tableware, it is impossible to make Zhao Heng's cranial nerves better, but it will become more and more serious over time.

"It's very serious, yesterday my father was stunned, I had to say that there was a messenger from heaven to pick him up, a group of people couldn't pull him, and finally even the eldest lady went, but I still couldn't persuade my father, and it was until midnight that my father fell asleep tired, and when I secretly went to visit him, I found that my father was still talking nonsense in his sleep." Zhao Zhen said with a depressed expression at this time, as a son of man, it is not pleasant to watch his father become a madman.

Li Zhang also sighed when he heard this, in fact, he had already known that this would happen, and he remembered that the history books of later generations recorded that Zhao Heng had fallen into a state of confusion in his old age, talking nonsense all day long, and he had not been so serious when he saw Zhao Heng before, but as time passed, I am afraid that it will really be like what is recorded in the history books in the future.

"Don't worry too much, everything has a big lady!" Li Zhang could only pat Zhao Zhen's shoulder at this time and comforted him, he was helpless against Zhao Heng's illness, because even in the later life, Zhao Heng's situation could not be cured, not to mention that as far as he knew, Zhao Heng didn't seem to have long to live.

"Well, in fact, I'm also worried about the eldest lady, she has to be busy with government affairs, and she has to take care of her father, I'm really worried that her body will not be able to stand it." Zhao Zhen nodded at first, and then said with some worry, although he was afraid of Liu E, after all, he always thought that Liu E was his biological mother, so he still cared about Liu E.

"This is a problem, although the eldest lady's body is strong, I heard that she has to be busy until the third watch almost every day to rest, and she has to get up before dawn the next day, even if she is an iron man, she can't stand it!" Li Zhang also nodded when he heard Zhao Zhen's words, but he also knew that Liu E had no choice but to do this, because Zhao Heng was seriously ill, and she was afraid that the royal family would be set aside by the ministers below, so she had no choice but to do everything herself, even if the rebuttal was rejected by the prime minister, she had to show her attitude.

"Yes, yesterday my father was seriously ill, and the eldest lady didn't rest all night, and today is the big court meeting, she went to the court meeting early, and now it is estimated that she didn't even eat breakfast." Zhao Zhen was worried again, his father was already sick, so he naturally didn't want his mother to fall ill at this time.

Li Zhang can also understand Zhao Zhen's mood, patted him on the shoulder but didn't say anything, although Zhao Zhen is the prince, but in fact, at this time, he is no different from an ordinary child, and all he can do is to accompany him as much as possible, so that he knows that in addition to his parents, there are other relatives who care about him.

Zhao Heng's illness soon spread all over the city, even if the imperial court repeatedly blocked the news, but it still couldn't stop the spread of rumors, in fact, Zhao Heng's illness was not a day or two, many people were rumoring that Zhao Heng might not last long, and now the news of his illness came out, which made all kinds of rumors fly, and some people even said that Zhao Heng was seriously ill and dying, and the Great Song Dynasty was about to change a new emperor.

Although rumors are not believable, sometimes rumors can also hurt people, and even hurt the country, such as rumors like Zhao Heng is seriously ill, if not controlled, it is likely to cause turmoil in the country, and may even make some people ambitious.

But fortunately, Zhao Heng's illness was quickly controlled, and even a few days of good spirits, so Liu E took the risk of letting Zhao Heng participate in a big court meeting and appeared in front of the ministers, although Zhao Heng was still unable to deal with government affairs, but the ministers saw that Zhao Heng's body was not too problematic, and they immediately dispelled their suspicions, and at the same time, when the news came out, the previous rumors finally slowly subsided.

As the turmoil subsided, Li Zhang was also relieved, and at this time, the weather was getting colder and colder, and the leaves of the potatoes began to turn yellow, and Li Zhang finally decided to dig a potato to see how the harvest was?
