Chapter 417: Powerless
Today, Emperor Xuanhe only summoned Du Tidian to go, but did not ask her to go to check the pulse. It's the first time in half a year.
It's weird.
Cheng Jinrong was surprised, and his face did not show half a point. After waiting patiently in the side hall for half an hour, Du Tidian came over as usual.
The city government that was ordered by Du Ti did not see anything wrong on his face.
Cheng Jinrong asked in a low voice, "Master, why didn't the emperor ask me to go with me today?" β
A strange smile flashed in Du Ti's eyes, and he glanced at Cheng Jinrong meaningfully: "The emperor does this, there is always a reason for the emperor." You are still a girl in Yunying's unmarried boudoir, so don't ask. β
Cheng Jinrong: "......"
Du Tidian hinted so obviously, what else did Cheng Jinrong not understand?
Emperor Xuanhe is in his forties, and it is common for men to decline their energy at such an age.
Moreover, Emperor Xuanhe was treated by an open abdomen, and his kidney was stabbed, and he was not able to recuperate with peace of mind after that. It's not uncommon to worry about labor all day long, and the dragon is weak and weak......
In fact, Du Tidian is also willing to mention this point to his disciples. If someone else came to explore the dragon body of the Son of Heaven, Du Tidian would not pay attention to it at all.
"You should not know what is happening today." Du Tidian commanded in a low voice: "In front of the emperor, you must not mention it at will." β
It is also lest Emperor Xuanhe be annoyed and ashamed and angry.
Cheng Jinrong nodded with a complicated expression. After hesitating for a moment, he still whispered: "Did the master prescribe medicine to the emperor?" β
Du Ti nodded.
Then, he refused to say anything.
Cheng Jinrong is now also a full-time doctor of the Son of Heaven, so he naturally knows the rules. Du Ti is willing to reveal so much, which is enough to show the friendship between master and apprentice. If you ask again, it's that she has saved more.
Cheng Jinrong closed his mouth and couldn't help but think about Queen Pei again.
β¦β¦
Queen Pei is mostly in the Jiaofang Hall during the day. Generally, when Emperor Xuanhe was scattered, he came to Baohe Palace.
During this time, Cheng Jinrong, the imperial physician of the Son of Heaven, actually had nothing to do. It doesn't hurt to go to Jiaofang Hall with Queen Pei.
However, today, Queen Pei didn't see Cheng Jinrong's face at all, and went back to the Jiaofang Hall alone.
At noon, Queen Pei dined in the Jiaofang Hall and did not come to the Baohe Palace. It wasn't until the evening that Emperor Xuanhe summoned Empress Pei and the six princes to dine together, and Cheng Jinrong met Empress Pei.
The moment the mother and daughter met, there was some unspeakable embarrassment.
Empress Pei's embarrassment was almost written in her eyes.
Cheng Jinrong's heart softened, and he stepped forward with a smile to salute: "I haven't seen the queen mother for a day, and Weichen is very worried about it." Now that he sees that his mother is looking good, Weichen is relieved. β
The heat behind Queen Pei's ears dissipated, and Cheng Jinrong smiled: "This palace is good to eat and sleep, it's very good, you don't have to worry." β
There are some things that are a man's shame for Emperor Xuanhe. For Queen Pei, it is unwanted.
Cheng Jin glanced at Queen Pei clearly.
The sixth prince ignored the two of them's lawsuit, and shouted with a smile: "Cousin Rong, Captain He is about to leave Beijing." Now that the Pingguo Mansion is definitely busy, why don't you take leave from your father and go to the Pingguo Mansion? β
Cheng Jinrong replied with a smile: "Last night, I said goodbye to him. β
The sixth prince is not very old, but he understands the world: "How can it be the same." It was your private goodbye. When you went to He's house, you came to the door as your fiancΓ©e. It can also be regarded as making face for Captain He, so that the He family also has face. β
This is for the future husband's family!
As soon as the six princes said this, Queen Pei suddenly felt reasonable, and glanced at the six princes approvingly: "That's right." Jinrong, you listen to Xiaoliu, take a day off tomorrow and go to Hefu. β
Speaking of which, she may not have returned to Chengfu for a long time, so she just took this opportunity to go back to see her aunt and uncle.
Cheng Jinrong thought about it for a while, and then responded with a smile.
β¦β¦
After a few words, Empress Pei and the six princes went to the dining room with Emperor Xuanhe.
Emperor Xuanhe cleaned up his mood this day, and now he has calmed down, at least he can't see anything unusual on his face. Empress Pei also had the right to eat as usual, as if nothing had happened.
After dinner, Emperor Xuanhe still had to watch the folds, and the six princes waited for the pen and ink on the side.
Empress Pei went back to her bedroom, and Ling Luoyu went to call Cheng Jinrong to come over and talk.
In less than a moment, Cheng Jinrong came with a smile.
The door was closed, and only the mother and daughter were left in the bedroom.
Empress Pei endured her shame and briefly told what happened last night: "...... Ah Rong, I am in the palace, and I can't help myself. The emperor's favor, I can't refuse. If it weren't for the emperor's weakness...... In short, I'm sorry for your dad and I'm sorry for you. β
"Mother, you're not sorry for anyone." Cheng Jinrong opened his mouth to stop Queen Pei's words: "I told you a long time ago that no matter what decision you make, I will support you." β
"Now, I still say that. It doesn't matter what you want to do. β
"You are my own mother, who gave birth to me in October after hard work. For my sake, you endured humiliation and suffered in the palace for more than ten years. Over the years, you've never had a day of joy. In my previous life, I dreamed that you committed suicide in the Jiaofang Palace. I left a letter begging the emperor to spare my father and my life. β
"In my previous life, I was able to escape from the prison safely, leave the capital, and live for several years. It's all bought by my mother's life. β
"Every time I think about it, I feel sad in my heart. From the day I entered the palace, I swore to myself that as long as you can live in health and peace, I will do whatever I want. β
Queen Pei looked at Cheng Jinrong with a calm expression in a daze, and another face that looked like Cheng Jinrong flashed in her mind.
When the young man was hot and his ears and temples were grinding, he once said: "Rumei, being able to marry you is the greatest blessing in my life." I will treat you well, we will grow old and be a loving couple for a lifetime. β
She was naughty and deliberately said, "If one day, I do something sorry for you, will you still treat me so well?" β
He pressed his forehead against her and laughed softly: "My Rumei, there is only me in my heart, how can you let me down." β
A heart-rending pain struck suddenly.
It was a sharp pain that invaded the internal organs. It was the pain that was going to tear her apart.
Queen Pei's eyes were hot, and tears came out of her eyes.
Empress Pei grabbed Cheng Jinrong's hand, and her tone was almost humble: "Ah Rong, I beg you." Don't tell your father, I'm still alive. This secret, never tell him. β
Tears welled up.
Empress Pei's eyes quickly blurred, and her voice was choked and intermittent: "Ah Rong, you promise me." Don't tell your dad. Just let him think that I was already dead. β
Cheng Jinrong's eyes flashed with water, and he hugged Queen Pei, who was crying in a low voice, into his arms.
