The next day, after the early dynasty retreated, Zhu Yunwen did not go to Wenyuan Pavilion unusually, but directly took Shen Ruoyu back to Qianqing Palace.

Shen Ruoyu woke up a little uncomfortable in the morning, dizzy, and nauseous. It seems to hurt everywhere, I can't say where it is, but it hurts from head to toe. He persevered through the entire early dynasty, and basically didn't hear anything clearly. After entering the palace gate of the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Yunwen sat on the throne and asked him two words, but he didn't answer, he only felt that his mind was foggy.

"What's wrong with you, did you hear me?" Zhu Yunwen looked at him suspiciously.

Shen Ruoyu gritted his teeth, tried to sober himself up, and said in a vague voice:

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, what did you just say?"

Zhu Yunwen repeated: "I'm asking you, where did you go after leaving the palace last night?" ”

Shen Ruoyu said: "Oh...... I'm home......"

Zhu Yunwen said: "How did I hear that someone saw you in the Yuchun Tower?" ”

Shen Ruoyu shook his head vigorously; Not to deny the emperor's words, but to wake himself up. He said:

"Yes, I went home first, and then went to Yuchun Tower."

Zhu Yunwen looked at him helplessly: "What are you going to do in that kind of place?" I just listened to what Jinyiwei said. It won't be long before the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will know, do you think what everyone will say about you at that time? Ruo Xiao, you have to think about your image, you are the commander of the three products, and you are the guest of honor of the palace, and you are married to the county lord, how can you go to the Qinglou? ”

Shen Ruoyu sighed depressedly: "Marrying a county lord is not the same as not marrying a wife." ”

Remembering another failed experience last night, he felt unbearable, and he had a splitting headache and was about to faint.

Of course, Zhu Yunwen didn't understand what he really meant. He asked:

"Do you think that the county lord of Cheng'an is not pregnant until now? Haven't you been married for half a year, why are you in a hurry? Even if you're really in a hurry, then you can't go to the Qinglou, what problem can you solve by going to that kind of place? You can marry two more and put them in the house, and no one will say anything about you. ”

Shen Ruoyu muttered: "Your Majesty, it's not what you think, I just went there to find someone, and I didn't do anything." ”

His voice was very low and indistinct, and Zhu Yunwen didn't hear clearly: "What did you say?" ”

"I mean...... I just ......" Shen Ruoyu tried hard to make himself speak neatly and clearly, but the more he tried, the more dizzy he became, and finally he couldn't support it, so he fell down in front of the Son of Heaven.

Zhu Yunwen was startled, he didn't dare to make a sound for a while, and he didn't dare to move, just sat on the dragon chair and stared at Shen Ruoyu on the ground.

The pain—now that he remembered it, he understood what was going on. The evil He Yu, damn ** incense - Yao Biao said that it would attack again, he is a miracle doctor, he was right, and now it has really made a comeback. After a year and a half, the ** incense in his body attacked for the second time, just like the last time, without any signs and triggers in advance.

Shen Ruoyu gritted his teeth and endured the pain, but he was really helpless that every muscle was paralyzed and stiff, and he couldn't use his strength. He said with great difficulty:

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty...... I'm really ...... Today there are some ...... Slightly ill ......"

Zhu Yunwen got up and left his seat, walked down in a panic, squatted down in front of him, and looked at him in panic.

"What's wrong with you? What do you say about being sick like this? You should have asked me for leave early in the morning, why are you still holding on? Hurry, hurry, Shanshou, hurry up and announce the imperial doctor! - Why are you stunned? Doctor Xuan! ”

Because Emperor Jianwen kept in mind the lessons of the eunuchs in the Han and Tang dynasties, and abided by the ancestral precept left by Zhu Yuanzhang that "ministers must not interfere in political affairs, and those who are predestined will be beheaded", he has always been very strict with the eunuchs in the palace, indifferent and unkind. Civil, military and military officials are not afraid of this bodhisattva-hearted young emperor, although Queen Ma and the little prince must be in awe of their parents and the emperor, but at least they are not afraid, far from the same as when Zhu Yuanzhang's concubines and princes saw the old emperor. Zhu Yunwen is also relatively generous to the palace maids. This woman's heartfelt son of heaven has always been very eunuchs, because all the eunuchs in the palace are afraid of him. Hearing the emperor's angry tone, the attendant named Shanshou who was standing on the side hurriedly ran out of the Qianqing Palace.

Just like last time, Shen Ruoxiao's pain became more and more sober and intense, but this time it was not only in the abdomen, but also everywhere in the body. He gritted his teeth and held back his moans, but finally couldn't help but squirt out a mouthful of blood, which scared the cowardly Zhu Yunwen so much that he was paralyzed, and sat on the ground with his butt and couldn't stand up. The eunuchs and palace maids on both sides were frightened, and the royal forest army at the door rushed in and helped the bloody Son of Heaven up, but they stared blankly at their own commanders on the ground, all helpless.

Zhu Yunwen came to his senses and said weakly: "Quickly carry him to my bed!" ”

Shen Ruoyu wanted to stop him, but he couldn't even say a word, so he could only let his subordinates carry him into the Dongnuan Pavilion and put him on the imperial couch. Since the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that except for Xu Da, there is no second person who has ever laid on the imperial couch of the Son of Heaven. And how can he be compared with Xu Da?

Shan Shou came back soon, followed by a imperial doctor, and after kowtowing to the Son of Heaven, he was ordered to sit on the edge of the imperial couch and cut the pulse for Shen Ruoxiao.

He carefully cut it for a long time, and his face couldn't help but gradually turn pale, and then almost transparent. Seeing that he looked flustered, Zhu Yunwen sweated profusely, and became even more anxious, and asked:

"What the hell is it?"

The imperial doctor was in a dilemma and did not dare to speak. Zhu Yunwen waited impatiently and shouted:

"Speak, what the hell is the disease?"

The imperial doctor was so frightened that he immediately rolled from the side of the imperial couch to the ground, knelt and kowtowed, and said:

"Long live the anger, long live the forgiveness of sins......"

"What kind of illness do you say?"

"Long live, the minister doesn't know ......"

"What?!"

Zhu Yunwen probably didn't have a few times in his life. The first time the imperial doctor saw Jianwen Tianzi like this, he was frightened, and kept kowtowing and said:

"Long live the anger, the humble incompetence, long live the anger, the stupidity of the humble position, the humble position really can't diagnose what disease Lord Shen is infected, the humble duty is guilty, please long live the mercy."

Zhu Yunwen was stunned for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Get out!" ”

The imperial doctor was stunned for a moment, immediately kowtowed to thank him, and was just about to slip away, when Zhu Yunwen suddenly shouted:

"Stop!"

The physician stood still and turned around in a trembling voice. "What else does Your Majesty command?"

Zhu Yunwen sighed: "You go back immediately, and immediately invite Dai Yuanli to me." ”

The physician immediately complied and ran out. Shen Ruoyu gritted his teeth and endured the pain and said:

"Your Majesty, don't toss, my disease has a root, and I know in my heart that there is nothing I can do even if Hua Tuo is reincarnated. Don't call the doctor, I'll just rest. ”

Zhu Yunwen didn't promise him, but just urged Shan Shou to go to Xuan Dai Yuan Rite again and bring the old man over.

For a long time, the Tai Hospital made Dai Sigong walk into the Qianqing Palace, although his head was full of white hair like snow, he was still in good spirits, his legs and feet were light, and he didn't need the support of Shanshou at all. When Zhu Yunwen saw him, he said:

"The original rite is exempt; Let's take a look at what the situation is. ”

Dai Sigong calmly sat down on the edge of the imperial couch, looked at Shen Ruoliao's sick face carefully, frowned, and put his fingers on his pulse.

After a while, he withdrew his hand and began to twist his snow-white long beard non-stop, falling into deep thought.

Zhu Yunwen didn't dare to alarm him, so he had to wait quietly on the side.

Then, Dai Sigong stood up and said to the emperor:

"Your Majesty, looking at the symptoms, it seems to be caused by poisoning, but this poison has never been seen before, and I don't know what it is. The lower officials are incompetent, please forgive your majesty. ”

"Poisoned?" Zhu Yunwen was taken aback and looked at Shen Ruoyu.

If he still has the strength to speak, he will definitely applaud Dai Sigong. However, at this moment, all his energy was wrestling with the severe pain, so he could only close his eyes, grit his teeth, and remain silent.

Zhu Yunwen asked dumbfoundedly: "Is there a good way to make the original ceremony?" ”

Dai Sigong said: "There is only one at present. ”

"Speak quickly!"

Dai Sigong said: "Please Your Majesty order a few guards around you to knock Lord Shen unconscious immediately." ”

“？！ ......" Zhu Yunwen was dumbfounded.

Dai Sigong said calmly: "Your Majesty, don't blame; This poison is unheard of by officials, and there is really no medicine to do; This poisonous attack was so painful that Lord Shen was worse off than dead at the moment, rather than letting him suffer in pain for an indefinite period of time, it was better to knock him unconscious immediately and seek temporary relief. ”

Zhu Yunwen looked at Shen Ruoyu in horror, stood for a long time, and finally sighed weakly:

"Well, I get it. Aiqing can step back. ”

After Dai Sigong left, Zhu Yunwen sat down on the edge of the bed and asked with concern:

"How are you now? Why don't I send someone to take you home right away? ”

Shen Ruoyu shook his head hard. He didn't want Nangong Qiu to worry about it any more. He mustered some strength and said softly:

"I'm fine, I'll rest for a while, and I'll be fine. You don't have to worry. ”

Zhu Yunwen stood by the bed and looked at him. Shen Ruoyu secretly complained bitterly; He hoped that the emperor would take the eunuchs and palace maids out, leaving him alone, and he could still hum twice. Now he can't say a word, he has to die to save face, and after a long period of torture, he finally couldn't bear it, and finally fainted.

When he woke up, it was already night. Just like last time, as soon as he woke up, he was completely fine. There is no more pain, the whole body is refreshed, the brain is flexible, and the ears and eyes are clear. He opened his eyes and was stunned for a while, only to realize that the layout of the Qianqing Palace was in front of him, and he was taken aback, and immediately jumped out of bed and looked around crampedly. No one.

Back then, Xu Da was dragged by Zhu Yuanzhang to the former Wu Wang's mansion, forcibly drunk, and then put on the bed where Zhu Yuanzhang once slept. When Xu Da woke up, he was shocked, and immediately rolled off the ground, knelt down in front of the royal couch, and repeatedly said that he deserved to die. Zhu Yuanzhang glimpsed it behind the screen, and was naturally very pleased, and immediately gave the entire Wu Wangfu Garden to Xu Da, and since then this deep and strange garden has become the mansion of the Duke of Wei.

Shen Ruoyu thought of this, and couldn't help but smile and shake his head in his heart. He can learn from Xu Da's humility and humility, and kneel down in front of the royal couch where he has been lying and kowtow and confess his sins. In this way, of course, the emperor will be happy, but he has no reason to reward Shen Ruoliao with the Qianqing Palace. What's more, Shen Ruoliao has never been a famous general like Xu Da who is well versed in the way of being a minister.

He walked out of the warm pavilion, Zhu Yunwen was reviewing the chapter on the throne, and when he saw him come out, he immediately put down the imperial pen and asked happily:

"Are you awake? How do you go to the ground? Feeling better? ”

Shen Ruoyu was so cared for by the Son of Heaven, and smiled a little embarrassedly:

"I'm fine. Did I miss something? ”

Zhu Yunwen said: "It's nothing big today. I'm about to send someone to your house and tell the county lord that you can't go back tonight. ”

Shen Ruoyu smiled: "Then I will die; Luckily, I woke up just in time. If nothing happens, I'll go home. ”

Zhu Yunwen said: "You go home, you can rest at home for a day tomorrow, you don't need it." ”

Shen Ruoyu hesitated. "Your Majesty, can I change tomorrow's leave to the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

Zhu Yunwen was slightly stunned: "What do you mean?" ”

"I'll come tomorrow as usual, and the day after tomorrow will be the same. It was the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15, because it was the county lord's birthday, and I promised her to stay at home for a day......"

Zhu Yunwen smiled understandingly: "Of course you can; I have indeed exhausted you lately, and I have been away from home for days before I have tired you from illness; I should have given you two days off to rest at home. ”

Shen Ruoyu even said that it was just a recurrence of the old disease, and it had nothing to do with His Majesty; After thanking the favor, he said: "By the way, Your Majesty, tomorrow I want to borrow the people of the court to do a private matter." ”

Zhu Yunwen paused. "A private matter? What's the matter? ”

Shen Ruoyu said: "Borrow a messenger to help me send the treasure of the lord of Cheng'an back to Beiping and return it to King Yan." From now on, the county lord is no longer the county lord, and I am no longer the guest of honor in Cheng'an, we are just the most ordinary ministers in front of the emperor. ”

Zhu Yunwen was taken aback: "How can it be done?" ”

"Your Majesty, if I don't do this, King Yan and I will be endless. You don't know why I had to go to Yuchun Tower last night, knowing that it would damage my image, because someone was waiting for me there, and he had to convey the message of King Yan to me. If I don't completely draw a line with King Yan and cut it in two, I really don't know how many times I will have to run Yuchun Tower in the future, what do you say I should do? ”

Zhu Yunwen asked hesitantly, "Then ...... What did King Yan tell you? ”

"He asked me about the movements of the imperial court and the preparations of the army. Don't worry, I didn't tell him anything. But forgive me, Your Majesty, don't expect me to tell you who the messenger is. I have betrayed King Yan and can no longer betray my friends. What's more, I also want to keep such a clue, maybe he can provide me with some information about King Yan from time to time in the future. ”

Zhu Yunwen was about to ask about the messenger, but when he said this, he had to give up and answered:

"Okay; You just have to make up your mind. ”

The next day, Zhu Yunwen was in the court, announcing to the ministers Shen Ruoliao's decision to sever relations with King Yan, and then assigned a messenger to return the treasure of the lord of Cheng'an to the hands of King Yan of Beiping.

Shen Ruoyu didn't know how much of a sensation this incident had caused in Beiping and how much impact it had on King Yan. But apparently Nangong Qiu was deeply impacted. She was sullen for several days, repeatedly saying how sad it should be for the prince and the mother, and we shouldn't be so ungrateful. Even Hong Jiang came over once and asked him why he did this, and if he was still from Beiping.

Shen Ruoyu didn't explain too much to them; He knew that he couldn't explain clearly, and even if he could, no one would understand him and believe him.

Especially Qiu'er, she never forgets how good King Yan and the princess were to her; He had to make her accept the status quo.

His marriage to hers has now fallen into an extremely awkward situation. When he first married her, he didn't dare to have sex with her, because he thought of Yang Yiqing and his biological mother. Gradually, he became more and more difficult to restrain himself, trying again and again to forget Yang Miqing, forget all the past, just cherish the people in front of him, and from then on he could no longer be separated from the beloved Qiu'er, but every time he didn't start, he had failed. Then it was last night that had just happened, he mustered up the courage to try again, Qiu'er was also extremely well-behaved and gentle, limp and paralyzed in front of him, ignorant and expectant, letting every inch of his body be exposed under his gaze and fingertips, at his mercy. For the first time in more than seven months of marriage, he and her have come to that step, and as long as they take one more step, it will be a matter of course. The unlucky Qiu'er was at this time, and he said stupidly:

"Did you do that to your sister before?"

For the nine thousand mountains, the success fell short. After all, he still couldn't forget Yang Suqing's resentful eyes that made him unforgettable, hating him for deceiving her and playing with her. It was like a knife stabbing into the heart; Shen Ruoyu fled the door in a panic and fled to the courtyard outside, leaving Nangong Qiu lying on the bed alone for no reason, and he could only sit outside in front of the cold moon all night.

The next day, he fainted in front of the Son of Heaven, and I don't know if it had anything to do with the first night.

It was originally a shadow of the past, but now it seems that the evil consequences are getting worse and worse, and it is beginning to gradually create a new shadow for him. When he saw Qiu'er, he couldn't help but shudder in his heart. If this day continues like this, I'm afraid that something will happen sooner or later.
