Several successive heavy snowfalls brought a little hope and joy to the entire northern Ming Dynasty, but did not bring anything to the people in the huge and glorious imperial city, the heart of the entire Ming Empire - the imperial palace, the atmosphere was depressing, and there was obvious sadness. The harem concubines all lost their previous color smiles, hid in front of people and secretly wept behind their backs, and all the eunuchs and palace ladies did not dare to come out, and they had to walk lightly.

Early in the morning, the lines of medicinal soup made with a variety of prescriptions prescribed by the imperial doctor were sent to the emperor's bedroom like flowing water, but they were soon waved out by the emperor.

Now, the backbone of the Ming Dynasty, the titular emperor, the engineer-level carpenter's body is getting heavier and heavier, and it has reached the point where the medicine stone cannot afford it.

"Your Majesty, you can't be like this, if it's always like this, if the dragon body is bad, what can you do with the old slave-" A howl came out of the mouth of the obese old eunuch kneeling in front of the sick dragon bed, it was not pretending, it was a heartfelt wail and crying.

"Companion, get up, don't be too sad, take care of your body." The Emperor of the Apocalypse, who was lying on the sickbed, said weakly to Wei Zhongxian, who was kneeling on the ground.

"If the old slave doesn't see that you have drunk the medicine, I will never get up." Wei Zhongxian cried and insisted, the Emperor of the Apocalypse on the hospital bed was his sky, his earth, and his everything, once the apocalypse died, he would be spurned by thousands of people, and no matter what, he couldn't let the apocalypse have a good one.

"Your Majesty, drink some medicine, everyone here and outside is counting on you" Queen Zhang, who was leaning on the head of the bed and holding a small bowl of decoction, secretly wept and persuaded her.

"Concubine Ai doesn't have to be sad, what my body looks like, I know for myself, it's useless to drink this Laoshzi thing again." Apocalypse looked at his queen, shook his head gently, and gave her a difficult smile, his eyes full of tenderness.

"Your Majesty-" Hearing what the Apocalypse said, Empress Zhang's tears rolled down like pearls from broken threads, the doctor does not treat the person who seeks death, from the eyes of the Apocalypse, there is no desire to live, so how can he be healed?

Thinking about his situation after the apocalypse left, he was even more sad, and couldn't help but lie on the head of the bed and sobbed and cried.

Tianqi stretched out his dry hand in the brocade quilt, caressed his beloved wife lovingly, and comforted: "If you don't tighten, if you don't tighten, everything will be fine." ”

At this time, a woman in palace clothes standing at the end of the Apocalypse bed said with a cold face: "I know crying, can crying cure the emperor's illness?" It is still important to serve the emperor and take medicine. ”

This one who dared to scold the queen in front of the emperor was the nurse of the emperor Zhu Youxiao.

The Hakka clan and Wei Zhongxian colluded inside and outside, controlled the apocalypse, and controlled the government, so they didn't even take the queen in their eyes, if it weren't for the apocalypse and its favor Empress Zhang, and Empress Zhang was resolute and virtuous, so that Wei Zhongxian and the Hakka family had many scruples, and they would have died in the hands of the two of them.

"Saint, don't be embarrassed for the queen." Apocalypse frowned, whispered a little impatiently.

"Can't I tell her too?" When the Hakka heard that the apocalypse was back to protect the queen, his heart was jealous, and he resisted sharply at that time: "As a queen, I can't lead the harem well, and I have to worry about a mother-in-law everywhere, and also, as a queen, I can't even take care of the emperor's daily life, so I have today's dragon body serious illness, which is caused by the queen's lack of virtue. ”

The Ke family and Wei Zhongxian have long had the intention of abolishing the queen, and they have been framed and criticized several times, but every time the queen is safe, and at this time, they mentioned it again before the apocalypse was seriously ill, which shows how arrogant the two are.

Empress Zhang suddenly got up, and was about to argue with the Hakka family, but looking at the thin and bored Apocalypse, she opened her mouth and swallowed what she wanted to say, but she just snorted coldly and stopped making a sound.

Tianqi looked at the three people who were about to quarrel again, and he didn't feel bored in his heart, his palms and backs were full of meat, and he said that no one was anyone, so he sighed and said weakly: "I'm tired, I want to rest, you go down." ”

The emperor spoke, even if he was arrogant like Wei Zhongxian and the Ke family, Wei Zhongxian got up from the ground, and walked out, the Ke family snorted with a cold face, and strode out with a flick of his sleeves. Empress Zhang stood up, gently tucked the quilt corner for Tianqi, and was reluctant to retire, Tianqi stretched out her hand in the quilt, grabbed Queen Zhang's hand, looked at the face that was obviously emaciated with pity, and couldn't help sighing, "Love the concubine and stay with me to sit." ”

Empress Zhang sighed, sat at the head of the bed, looked at the apocalypse, and tears fell again.

Apocalypse looked sad, and couldn't help but cry with him, loving husband and wife, about to be forever, leaving a helpless wife, how can you rest assured in such a situation? For the sake of his wife in the future, it seems that he really has to make a decision.

The husband and wife were crying silently, and suddenly a little eunuch outside the palace slipped in quietly like a thief, knelt in front of the apocalypse bed, and whispered: "Qi Emperor Niangniang, King Xin asked to see the emperor several times a few days ago, but was blocked by Wei Daban, and now he handed over his handbook to ask for greetings, the emperor's mother, have you seen him?" ”

In order to consolidate their favor, the Ke family and Wei Zhongxian strictly controlled the opportunity for the apocalypse to contact outsiders, especially for the king of Xin, who had always wanted to get out of the capital but couldn't, and even prevented the brother from seeing each other, but this apocalypse Zhu Youxiao was still an emperor who was not like an emperor, not only loving and caring for his wife, but also caring for the only brother, otherwise, the ten kings of faith would have died inexplicably.

As soon as they heard that their brothers were coming, the originally depressed husband and wife were immediately shocked, and the originally weak voice of the apocalypse also became rare and excited, and ordered again and again: "Hurry up and announce the arrival of the king." Seeing the little eunuch running out happily, the heavens inspired Empress Zhang to help herself sit up.

Empress Zhang was also happy when she saw that Tianqi looked very good, but she said again and again: "Long live your body is weak, let's lie down." ”

"No, no." At this time, Tianqi argued with a rare childish smile: "When you see a king of great faith, how can you lie down?" Wouldn't that be laughed at? As he spoke, he struggled to move his body to get up.

Hearing Tianqi's words, Queen Zhang was not happy, but her nose was sore, this is because her husband didn't want to make his most beloved brother sad, and insisted on showing his strength.

Without further ado, he tried to help Tianqi sit up and put a thick quilt behind him. Then, Apocalypse craned his neck to look out the door, his face full of anticipation.

The palace is deep, where is it to get there? Although King Shin saw that his brother was anxious, his steps were almost trotting, but the palace was heavy, how could he finish walking in a while.

Just when King Xin was sweating and almost rushed into the Apocalypse's dormitory, Apocalypse could barely hold on. But when he saw his own brother come in, his spirit was shocked, and his pale face was flushed with a kind of sickly excitement, and before he could kneel down to the king of letters, he stretched out his hand and said again and again: "Don't kneel, don't kneel, come, come to my brother, hurry." As he spoke, he patted the side of the bed, and his tone was full of eager doting.

King Xin no longer knelt down, and immediately hurried to his brother's bed, and saw that his sister-in-law was also there, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed sincerely to say goodbye. ”

Zhu Youzhen ignored his sister-in-law's humility, and still kowtowed to his sister-in-law respectfully.

It's not that Zhu Youzhen is separated from his sister-in-law, but he is even more respectful, in his heart, Tianqi is his brother not the emperor, and his sister-in-law is the eldest mother and not the queen.

Seeing what Zhu Youzhen did, Tianqi couldn't help but smile happily, this is a family, and the original unhappiness disappeared after his favorite brother came.

Holding Zhu Youzhen's hand, he looked left and right, but he saw that something was wrong, because he saw that Zhu Youzhen's face was blue and purple, and his eye circles had become pandas, so he immediately asked worriedly: "What?" Did anyone bully their brothers? Thinking about it, there are only two people in the world who can bully their brothers, one is the Hakka family, and the other is Wei Zhongxian, thinking of this, he immediately became furious, and beat the edge of the bed and shouted: "Come on, let that old Wei dog roll in for me." ”

This was the first time that Tianqi had called Wei Zhongxian like this, and the little eunuch standing by the door at that time was half frightened and didn't know what to do.

However, Empress Zhang was careful, and hurriedly blocked the apocalypse and said: "Your Majesty is angry, my brother has some minor injuries, not necessarily Wei Zhongxian did it, he is just a dog in our family, and he doesn't dare to blatantly beat our brother when he wants to, listen to my brother in everything." ”

It's not that Empress Zhang is afraid of Wei Zhongxian, as a virtuous queen, the starting point is to protect this uncle, if it was really Wei Zhongxian's doing, what can you say now? The apocalypse can only be a scolding, and there is absolutely no follow-up, but it has left countless disasters for the uncle, and it is better to calm things down.

"Hooray." Zhu Youzhen shouted quietly, but when he saw Tianqiyi frowning, he hurriedly changed his words: "Brother, my injury was not caused by Wei Laogou." ”

Just a brother, it made the apocalypse angry all gone, but when he heard his brother say that his injury was beaten by someone else, he couldn't help but sigh, this thing is new, his younger brother is the king of letters, and everyone in the capital knows about it, and it must be a character who dares to beat him. Especially looking at his brother, not only did he mention this person, not only did he not get angry, but he made this arrogant, face-first brother soothing in his words, without the slightest complaint, this was really strange and ruthless, and he was also interested at that time, so Queen Zhang helped him to sit a little higher, and asked with a smile: "What's the matter?" Is there anyone else in this Ming Dynasty who dares to beat my cousin emperor's brother? Hehe, it's very interesting, come on, let's listen. ”
