In the evening of February of the ninth year of Hongzhi, that is, on the evening of March 9, 1496, Yanjing was full of red clouds and the scenery was charming, but in a palace in the Forbidden City, the atmosphere was not so pleasant.

In front of a bed, four old men with gray beards were talking to each other. A young-looking, but somewhat haggard man stood in front of the bed, looking at an object on the bed—a child of about 2 or 3 years old. This man has a face with not very sharp angles, there is no expression on his face, his eyes are not big, but worry and grief can be seen in his eyes, his eyebrows are very thick and slender, and his complexion is fair, but it can be seen that his health is not very good. Wearing a dragon robe, not very bright golden yellow can be seen that it has some history, no hat on his head, just a cloth turban wrapped in hair, he is the child's father, and the ninth emperor of the Ming Dynasty - Ming Xiaozong Zhu Youjiao.

There was a woman sitting on the bed, about 24 to 26 years old, whose appearance was not overwhelming, but she was atmospheric and dignified. At this time, her face was very sad, one hand stretched forward, and the outstretched fingers seemed to want to touch the child, but seemed to be worried about making the already very difficult life of the child worse, and covered her mouth with one hand, trying to hide her low sobbing without disturbing the child. This is the only woman in Ming Xiaozong's life, Empress Zhang.

Standing beside the bed was a boy of 5 or 6 years old, with a slender face and a shrewd look in his eyes. The whole person is white and chubby to look at, but at this time, he felt the atmosphere in the palace, and he didn't dare to speak, so he looked at his first brother worriedly. He is Zhu Houzhao, who is very controversial in the history of the Ming Dynasty.

The air pressure in the hall was very low, so low that there was no other sound except for the conversation of a few imperial doctors and the sobbing sound of the queen, and the palace maids and eunuchs all lowered their heads and bit their lips to prevent themselves from making any movement. The little boy lay motionless on the bed, his breathing seemed to stop, and his little frown showed that he was in pain. It's just that there is no one to help him, because the four imperial doctors seemed to have been rehearsed, and knelt down in unison and said, "Tell Your Majesty, please forgive Weichen for his incompetence and capital crimes." As soon as the words fell, Zhu Youjiao's eyes closed, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he seemed to be in a very uncalm mood. Empress Zhang's face turned cold, her voice was not high, and she seemed to be very calm and said: "If Your Highness has something, you can go down with Your Highness." Suddenly, the four imperial doctors sat down on the ground as if they had been pulled out of their spines. At this time, Hongji seemed to want to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything. It's even colder in the palace.

There was no sound, there was silence, the sky was full of red clouds, but there was not a trace of wind blowing. Suddenly, a small fireball flew from the south, shuttling in the clouds quickly, like flying from the north, but it disappeared when it flew into a thick cloud, because the sky was full of red light, more than a million people in Yanjing City did not find this small fireball, and the cloud where this fireball disappeared was just above the palace.

There was a sudden wheezing sound from the bed, but it was like thunder in the palace room at this time. Everyone looked at the bed, the child, to be exact. The child opened his eyes, very confused, and then rolled his eyes to look around, his mouth opened slightly, but he did not make a sound, his head did not move, he seemed to have no strength to turn his head, and then his eyes closed and he fainted.

"Why don't you come up and check it out!" Empress Zhang's voice seemed to be a little sharp, but no one paid attention to this, the four imperial doctors turned into stone statues seemed to have returned to their youth, climbed up with both hands, and ran towards the child, looking at the decades of craftsmanship gushing out like a torrent, of course, the child fainted and couldn't cooperate, then there was no way, besides, a child about 2 years old, you expect him to tell you where the pain is and where the itch is, how does it feel? But this did not diminish the enthusiasm of the imperial doctors, after all, this was their only hope, the hope of living.

After a long time, the four of them stood up and looked at each other very tacitly, and then, the leading Imperial Physician Huang arched his hands and said like Hongzhi: "Your Majesty, Your Highness's condition has been stabilized, and then take the medicine according to the prescription, after 7 days, it should be fine." Hongji exhaled, and then said, "If this is the case, there will be a reward, if you go down." "Yes." The Taiyi gang faced Hongji, retreated in small steps, and quickly left the palace.

Queen Zhang threw herself in front of the bed at this time, stroking the child's brows that had not yet spread out with one hand, and brushing the child's chest from top to bottom through the quilt with the other hand, tears in her eyes but not wiping them. "My hard-working child is finally back, otherwise how can I live as a mother, but I have to take care of my body, but my mother can't stand such a fright."

"Daddy, isn't my brother almost ready to play with the child?" At this time, a smile appeared on the little face of the future Emperor Wuzong Zhengde. Hongzhi also smiled a little: "Well, it's almost good, it's almost good, go out with your father, don't disturb my brother's rest." "En" Hongji turned his head to the queen and said: "Yuying, you accompany the child, I will send Houzhao back, and then go to the imperial study to fold, I won't come tonight." "State affairs are important, husband, you can go." The words were spoken, but the body did not move. Hongzhi took Zhu Houzhao's little hand and walked out of the hall.

Not long after the father and son walked out, the queen slowly stood up and said calmly: "Serve Your Highness carefully these days, if there is a mistake, you know the consequences, okay, go down, the palace will sleep here tonight." "Yes" The palace maids and eunuchs turned their backs to the door and walked out slowly.

At this time, it was already dark, and today was too exciting, and the palace maid and eunuch found that the back of their clothes was already wet after leaving the palace. At Imperial Physician Huang's house, the father and son had returned home at this time, changed their clothes, and had dinner, and the father and son had a conversation in the study. "You are also in the Tai Hospital, you also know what happened this evening, the old man is about to reach the sixtieth year this year, even if he has not passed this level today, he will go, Zide, you are only twenty and three, and there are still many levels to pass in the future, the old man did not want you to step into the Tai Hospital, and now it has been 1 year, you have to think about it."

"Father, the child has already thought about it, the eldest brother is in charge of the family business in his hometown, and the second brother has stepped into the officialdom, and I can't succeed in my studies, and I don't know the art of business, and what I see is the medical skills that my father preached. And as the old saying goes, 'if you are not a good look, you are a good doctor', if you can make some gains in medical skills, it will be a matter of merit in the present and in the future. "This young man is the third son of Lao Huang, his name is good, and he has a good character." Alas, then, go and rest. "Yes, father." With the sound of departing footsteps, only Lao Huang and the sound of books turning over were left in the study.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a young and beautiful young woman from a good family, and he was lying in one of his quilts, looking at him with one hand in a fist and supporting his head, with concern and worry in his eyes. The whole person gave him a faint sense of familiarity, but he could be sure that he didn't know this beauty, and he looked at him with such rich eyes, which made him calm. I was about to ask, "Beauty, who are you, I'm poor to death, don't you want the immortals to jump me." Suddenly he realized that something was wrong, of course, not wrong, and after he rolled his eyes, he realized that everything was wrong.

First of all, this beauty, the closest, see the most clearly, she is not wearing modern pajamas or something, obviously the ancient people's Hanfu underwear, and then there is the problem of the room, very magnificent, very good, but it is all ancient style, all wooden structure, can not see the shadow of modern steel, organic materials, the mirror turned out to be a yellow, orange and orange copper mirror, the hanger hung a gorgeous Hanfu, ladies', there is a phoenix pattern on it, absolutely handmade high-quality, although the color is a little dull, It's not a new dress anymore. The window is actually covered with paper, and it doesn't look modern, because even if it is a modern cinema ancient building, it doesn't have this old feeling, and the literary point is the vicissitudes of history. Of course, these are not the most critical, the most important thing is why the body has become so small, it looks like a child, and it is the kind of small that of a baby, and the beauty has no signs of reaching the same height at all.

In a trance, I remembered, "Am I not doing freefall exercises on the Jin Mao Tower, no matter how you look at the strength of my body, I shouldn't be able to win the asphalt road, why am I still alive, why did I become a baby, is it my fault or the world's fault, what is going on." Fortunately, he didn't speak, otherwise if such a small hairy child said a sentence with adult logical thinking, it should be tied to a wooden shelf for barbecue in minutes, so in the eyes of the beauty, this child is just a little dazed, no big problem. But the child was in a daze and suddenly closed his eyes and remained motionless, and the beauty hurriedly probed forward, and found that although she had fainted, her breathing was fine, although it was slow, but it was much more powerful than yesterday, and suddenly she was much more relaxed. And before the child fainted, the last thing he thought about was "I don't want to be a baby" The queen shouted "Come on" to the door, and then four palace maids came in and dressed the queen. The queen commanded again: "Go and pass the imperial doctor." Then, whether in the palace or outside the palace, everyone's busy day began.

Soon, four old doctors came to the palace, but today there is a new face, he is Lao Huang's son, Huang Deliang can also be called Huang Zide. The four old lady doctors, except for Lao Huang, still vaguely have the grace of his youth, and the other three are like dehydrated oranges, shriveled, so Huang Deliang has a foil, and the face of the original little fresh meat looks even smaller, but in this palace, no matter how much you are Yushu Linfeng Saipan'an, no one will pay attention to a pear flower pressing a begonia, the queen is disdainful, and the palace maid does not dare, of course, it is not ruled out that the father-in-law may have a big appetite for small fresh meat.

The five of them arrived 2 or 3 meters in front of the queen, arched their hands, bowed in unison and said "See Niangniang"

"Calm down, Your Highness fell asleep again this morning, you can see how this is happening." "Yes" The five of them walked towards His Highness on the bed, and the pure and young ** was once again ravaged by the big hands of five pairs of adult men. After they satisfied their shameless carnal desires, they discussed with each other for a while, and then Lao Huang said to the queen, "Qi Yu Niangniang, Your Highness has been weak since childhood, this time the wind and cold have entered the body, and the evil wind has penetrated, and it is impossible to exclude the body, so it will be like this." ”

"Oh, maybe healed?"

"Yes, but there are two schemes, one is to take medicine according to the prescription proposed by Weichen yesterday, which can be cured in a short time, and the other is not to take the prescription, wring it out with a square cloth damp with warm water, cover it on the back of His Highness, and need to reciprocate many times without interruption, the bedding is covered in His Highness, and the wind is not visible, until the cold wind in the body is eliminated, although this method takes a long time, but His Highness is still small, and the medicine is three points toxic, so this method is more applicable."

"Yes, this second method is good, if it works, the reward will be determined."

Lao Huang said again with a look of shame on his face; "Qi Yu Niangniang, this method is what the dog thinks, and Weichen doesn't dare to be greedy." When the queen heard this, she was a little surprised, glanced at Xiao Xianrou and said, "Then you will serve His Royal Highness first and reward a hundred taels of silver." Huang Deliang stepped forward, stood in a row with Lao Huang, and thanked him together. Then it was the work of the palace maid, covering and covering for His Highness, until noon, when His Highness woke up faintly.
