Xiao Wenxuan's painful expression was in his eyes, and he couldn't say any more. He knew that without personal experience, outsiders could not appreciate the pain of losing a loved one.

Imperial Physician Li followed Gonggong An out of the house, sighed and said to him: "The prince is already in a physical loss, and if he doesn't eat or drink like this, I'm afraid it will cause great damage to his body." ”

Gonggong An naturally understood what Imperial Physician Li meant, although everyone was willing to stand on Xiao Wenxuan's side, but that end was the emperor, and if the emperor didn't nod, no one could do anything.

"Let's boil some ginseng soup and prepare it, maybe you can drink it."

After Grandpa An finished speaking, he went down. The morning was almost over, and he had to hurry to report the situation here to the emperor.

After listening to Father-in-law An's report, the emperor changed into civilian clothes in Wanshou Palace and walked quickly to the Chengde Hall where Xiao Wenxuan was located.

As soon as I entered the side hall, I saw Xiao Wenxuan still lying on the ground, curled up, as if he was asleep.

Several palace maids and eunuchs stood on both sides, and when they saw the emperor coming in, they knelt down and asked for peace.

"You ......"

The emperor's face was cold, and he just wanted to be angry, but his eyes swept over the face of Xiao Wenxuan, who was asleep, and he turned around and went out angrily.

Father-in-law An might as well provoke the emperor with something, so he hurriedly followed.

The emperor stood down outside the palace, turned around and pointed at Father-in-law An, Long Yan was furious: "Ande, what kind of heart do you have?" Are all the dead people you sent to You'an? If there's anything wrong with You'an, I'll ask you. ”

Father-in-law An was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that he was busy kneeling on the ground, fanning his hands back and forth on his face, and his hands were strong, and after only a few strokes, his cheeks on both sides were red and swollen.

"The emperor is angry, the slave should die, the slave didn't take care of the prince, and the slave went to guard the prince himself."

"Alright, go and guard."

The emperor was irritable and walked away.

Gonggong An also got up and returned to the side hall with a hot face, called several palace maids and eunuchs to the door, reprimanded them one by one, and rewarded each of them with ten slaps, told them to stay outside the door, and re-entered the house to guard Xiao Wenxuan's side in person.

The palace maids and eunuchs who were beaten all complained in their hearts, they didn't want to cover the quilt for the prince, but the prince didn't let them cover it. But they didn't dare to say this, for fear that Father-in-law An would be annoyed and send them to a bitter and tired place and not be able to turn over.

Xiao Wenxuan did sleep for a while, and when he woke up again, he found that he was covered with a quilt. He raised his hand and lifted the covers. Father-in-law An on the side hurriedly stepped forward to cover it for him.

Xiao Wenxuan spoke: "The quilt is too heavy, and it makes me uncomfortable." ”

When Father-in-law An heard this, he called the people outside to come in and watch, and he was busy going to the emperor to reply.

When the emperor heard that Xiao Wenxuan disliked the weight of the quilt, and then thought about his thin body that had not yet healed, he glared at Father-in-law An: "Go, bring him the velvet quilt I covered." ”

The quilt that the emperor is now covering is woven from the finest and most fluffy layer of wool on the sheep's body, and the whole quilt is as thin as a garment, but it is several times warmer than a thick quilt. This winter, the Western Regions paid a total of such a tribute, and even the harem concubines and princes and grandchildren did not cover it.

Gonggong An got the order, trotted to the emperor's bedroom, brought the velvet quilt, and carefully covered Xiao Wenxuan, Gonggong An knelt on the ground and began to persuade again.

"The emperor knew that the prince was not in good health, so he specially asked the servants to bring the quilt used by the emperor to the prince. The emperor's heart for the prince is comparable to that of the prince. Lord, for your own sake and for the sake of the emperor, can you eat something? ”

Xiao Wenxuan didn't lift the quilt this time, he looked at Grandpa An with his arms on his pillow: "Can you get me a soft pillow?" The pillow he pillows at night were ordinary hard pillows, which made him wake up several times.

When Gonggong An heard this, he hurriedly went to bring over a gold wire soft pillow used by the emperor and stuffed it under Xiao Wenxuan's neck.

"Lord Wang, what more do you want? The minions will go and get it for you. ”

Xiao Wenxuan stopped looking at him, closed his eyes and said, "I want to think about things, I want you to be quiet for a while." ”

Gonggong An hesitated for a moment, ordered the people inside to take good care, and exited the door in a sneering manner.

For lunch, Xiao Wenxuan still didn't eat. Until the evening, Xiao Wenxuan had not eaten for a day and a night.

The emperor was a little breathless. He called Imperial Physician Li and asked him about Xiao Wenxuan's condition.

"The prince is already weak, this time he hasn't eaten or drunk for another day, and he already has symptoms of loss of qi and blood, if he does this again tomorrow, the prince is afraid that he really can't stand it."

The emperor was silent when he heard this, and waved his hand to call people down.

"Your Majesty, the prince is what you have seen since you were a child. The prince has a poor background, he has relied on the emperor like a father since he was a child, what the emperor said the prince is obedient to you, just this time I disobeyed the emperor, and asked the emperor to agree to the prince for the sake of Princess Ping. Father-in-law An knelt on the ground and had the courage to intercede for Xiao Wenxuan.

Grandpa An's words pierced the emperor's heart. The emperor stood up and sighed deeply, helpless.

"It's not that I can't fulfill him. He was still young, and he had to marry and have children. Let a divorced woman who is still dead dominate the title of princess, whose good daughter is willing to marry him in the future? ”

The emperor's words are not unreasonable. It is because the emperor is good for Xiao Wenxuan that he hopes that Xiao Wenxuan can have a princess whose identity and status match him to be his virtuous helper. Only in this way will outsiders not despise him, and he will be able to gain a firm foothold in this cannibalistic environment where the supremacy of power is supreme, and will not be trampled on at will.

It's a pity that the emperor thinks that he has worked hard, but Xiao Wenxuan doesn't understand.

At night, Xiao Wenxuan covered the emperor's quilt, pillowed the emperor's pillow, covered his head and remained motionless, and he didn't know whether he was awake or asleep. Imperial Physician Li, who came to the main hall to ask for the pulse, secretly took his hand outside, and saw that although the pulse was weak, it was quite stable, and his heart was relieved.

This night, the emperor still tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. When I finally fell asleep, I was awakened by someone in my dream. In the dream, Princess Ping Zhen Qiao pointed to his nose and asked him to pay for Xiao Wenxuan's life.

When the emperor woke up, his clothes were soaked with sweat, so he asked someone to change his clothes, and ordered someone to see Xiao Wenxuan's situation. After a while, someone went back and forth, saying that the prince had been sleeping.

The emperor didn't dare to fall asleep because of palpitations, so he passed the time by reviewing the discount. But his mind was on Xiao Wenxuan in Chengde Palace, and he watched the music in his hand for a long time, and he didn't read a word.

Looking at the faint light outside, the emperor called Ande over......

On the morning of the third day, Father-in-law An served breakfast as usual.

"Lord, eat some, if you don't eat again, your body won't be able to stand it."

Xiao Wenxuan was so hungry that he didn't bother to raise his eyelids, and replied weakly: "Take it away." And he did not move any more.

Grandpa An pursed his lips and stood up with a secret smile. He cleared his throat and preached crisply:

"King Ningjun takes the order."

Pick-up? The emperor is furious and wants to clean him up? It is better to expel him from the royal family and depose him as a concubine, so that he can marry Ling'er openly and without being subject to the royal law.

Xiao Wenxuan struggled to get up from the ground and directly changed to a kneeling position.

"Minister...... Siu Man-xuan...... Pick up the order. ”

Gonggong An read out the holy decree loudly, and after explaining Su Muling's deeds of donating money and food for the anti-epidemic disaster relief during the Gaofeng Liang Festival, he posthumously named Su Muling as the princess of Ningjun.

"Lord Wang, the emperor's holy decree to the Su family has been sent overnight. The prince can now get his wish with peace of mind. ”

"Thank Emperor Longen!"

Xiao Wenxuan was pleasantly surprised, he originally just wanted the emperor to admit Su Muling's existence, but he didn't expect the emperor to directly issue a holy decree to announce it to the world.

Xiao Wenxuan finally got his wish, Su Muling was not allowed to be with him openly and brightly during his lifetime, and finally became his princess after his death.

He suddenly felt that all this was a bit ironic, Su Muling had never been rare about the title of princess, it was he who insisted on giving her a name. In the end, it was his own heart that was appeased by this decree.

Xiao Wenxuan was picked up, and after Father-in-law An personally served him to eat breakfast, he helped him to lie down on the kang.

The emperor had just left the court at this time, and he came over without changing his clothes.

The emperor had a black face and was coerced to issue a holy decree, which was the first time since he sat on the dragon throne. That is, Xiao Wenxuan, even if it is his sons, if he threatens him in this way, I am afraid that he will be removed from the royal family and demoted to a concubine.

But for Xiao Wenxuan, the emperor can't bear it, everyone has an untouchable reverse scale in their hearts, in the emperor's heart, Xiao Wenxuan is the reverse scale on his body.

"You'an, you've got your wish. Remember, though, there's no next time! ”

"Uncle Xie Huang."

Xiao Wenxuan wanted to get up and thank him, but he was held down by the emperor.

"Let's raise it for a few days and then leave."

The emperor kept him, but Xiao Wenxuan did not refuse. With Imperial Doctor Li by his side, it didn't take a few days for Xiao Wenxuan to get out of bed again.

Xiao Wenxuan was worried about something in his heart, he wanted to go back to the palace, but the emperor didn't stop him, but ordered Imperial Doctor Li to go back with him, Xiao Wenxuan did not recover to the best state, and Imperial Doctor Li was not allowed to return to the palace.

Back in the palace, Xiao Wenxuan put the holy decree in front of Su Muling's ashes, with tears in his eyes and a choked voice:

"Ling'er, my wife. We can finally be together in the open. From now on, what you want to protect, I will guard for you, and what you want to do, I will do it for you. You wait patiently for me below, and soon, I will come to see you. ”

Wuying, who was waiting outside the door, heard Xiao Wenxuan's words, his nose was sour, and Miss Su's past came to his heart.

Wuying and Xiao Wenxuan roamed the rivers and lakes and read countless people. I have never seen Xiao Wenxuan so infatuated with any woman. The Tian family who was killed on the wedding night before, because it was the emperor who appointed the marriage, Xiao Wenxuan didn't have any feelings for her, and when she died, she didn't see Xiao Wenxuan feel anything.

But the two-year infatuation between Su Muling and the master has been lingering, but bit by bit has fallen into the eyes of Wuying.

Su Muling died, and Wuying was also very sad, guarding the door with wet eyes.

……

After a long time, Xiao Wenxuan came out of the house and accompanied him back to the study without a shadow.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the courtyard. Li Feng hurriedly came with a letter: "Lord Wang, there is news in the northwest. ”

Xiao Wenxuan took the letter, opened it, looked at it, and pondered for a moment. Then, a faint glint appeared in his eyes:

"Wuying, Li Feng, pack your luggage and go to the northwest with me."

"Yes." The two stepped back.
