At the same time, Concubine Zhuang also asked in front of the Empress Dowager Zhuang of Renshou Palace.

She said with a fluttering eyebrow: "Auntie, you did this, right?" I knew that my aunt had the ability to deceive Your Majesty! Auntie's trick is called a surprise win! Concubine Jing thought that she would be able to block her aunt by moving back to the palace, but she didn't expect her aunt's skills to be superior, and she would be able to release her suspicions with His Majesty with a little means! Anyway, why didn't my aunt do it earlier? ”

Mrs. Zhuang looked at her expressionlessly.

Concubine Zhuang was stunned by this, shrunk her neck, and said, "What's wrong?" Am I wrong? Now it is rumored in the palace that the murderer who poisoned Xiao Heng has been found, and it is that Zhang Xiu. How did my aunt come up with the idea of letting Zhang Xiu take the blame? Zhang Xiu is His Majesty's person, and her aunt naturally can't instruct her, this suspicion is called a clean wash! ”

"Are you finished?" Empress Dowager Zhuang said lightly, "The mourning family has to look at the excerpts." ”

Concubine Zhuang pursed her lips and bowed and retired.

Zhang Xiu's poisoning of Xiao Heng spread far and wide, and soon the six palaces knew the truth about Xiao Heng's murder, and the emperor misunderstood the Empress Dowager Zhuang for many years, and now that the truth is revealed, it makes sense that he will take the initiative to reconcile with the Empress Dowager Zhuang.

It is true that some people think that this is the emperor's trick, ostensibly expressing guilt and filial piety to the Empress Dowager Zhuang through Zhang Xiu's incident, but in fact, he is paralyzing the Empress Dowager Zhuang and approaching the Empress Dowager Zhuang to gain the trust of the Empress Dowager Zhuang, so that she can kill the Empress Dowager Zhuang by surprise in the future.

Empress Xiao sat in Huaqing Palace for a while, and then returned to Kunning Palace to take care of Qin Chuyu.

The emperor looked at Concubine Jing: "How is the mother concubine's injury?" ”

Concubine Jing smiled and said softly, "It's not a big deal." ”

The emperor's expression did not relax in the slightest, and he said with a straight face: "The imperial doctor said that the mother concubine still needs to be carefully recuperated, and she should not be negligent in taking medicine every day. Mama Cai, you have to take care of your mother carefully. ”

"Yes." Mama Cai respectfully responded.

The emperor hummed and said to Concubine Jing: "Then the son will go to the imperial study first, if the mother concubine feels that the Huaqing Palace is boring, she will take a sedan chair to the imperial garden for a walk." The imperial doctor said that always being stuffy in the room is not conducive to recuperation. ”

"Your Majesty doesn't have to worry about me, with the blessing of Your Majesty's dragon energy, my body is fine, but Your Majesty ......" Concubine Jing said, her eyes fell on his slightly haggard eyebrows, "Your Majesty looks tired, but has you reviewed and folded it overnight?" ”

The emperor smiled indifferently and said, "Recently, many areas have been hit by heavy rains, and the disaster is serious, and there will inevitably be more excerpts. ”

Concubine Jing took his hand and said seriously, "Then you have to take care of the dragon body." ”

The emperor patted the back of Concubine Jing's hand and said with a smile: "My son will pay attention." ”

Concubine Jing's expression was a little pale, and when she thought of something, she asked again: "Is the soothing incense that Mama Cai brought to you useful?" ”

"Yes." The Emperor said.

"Is it still working?" Concubine Jing asked.

The emperor smiled and said, "The spices prepared by the concubine herself are easy to use. ”

The emperor comforted Concubine Jing a few more words, and then got up and went to the imperial study.

He didn't come to accompany Concubine Jing to eat at noon, and ate in the imperial study.

Father-in-law Wei went to the imperial dining room and instructed the cook to make a few delicious meals, but there were not many styles.

The emperor used to eat with pomp and circumstance, and since he lived in Bishui Hutong, he has streamlined his three meals a day.

Gonggong Wei came out of the imperial study, went back to Huaqing Palace again, and took a few folds that he had placed in the small study last night.

When he came out of the small study, he met Concubine Jing and Mama Cai who were walking towards him.

"Concubine Niang." Gonggong Wei held the fold and saluted.

Mama Cai bowed slightly to him.

He also owes a debt.

In terms of grade, he is above Mama Cai, but the palace has never been a place purely about grade, the emperor respects Concubine Jing, and even the chicken and dog have ascended to heaven when she is alone.

Concubine Jing looked at him gently: "Grandpa Wei, how many years have you been serving by Your Majesty's side?" ”

Gonggong Wei didn't think about it for too long, and replied almost quickly: "The slave has been following His Majesty for thirty years since he was fourteen years old. ”

Concubine Jing nodded: "Do you remember who chose you to His Majesty's side in the first place?" ”

Gonggong Wei was slightly stunned, not understanding why Concubine Jing suddenly asked this, he said truthfully: "It's Concubine Niangniang." ”

Concubine Jing looked at him steadily: "Can the palace trust you?" ”

She used the main palace.

Gonggong Wei's expression was solemn, he hugged the fold tightly with one hand, and with the other hand, he opened the hem and knelt down: "What does the concubine Niangniang command, the slave will never give up!" ”

Concubine Jing raised her hand to help him: "Get up and speak, what can't you die?" You are an old man beside Your Majesty, and Your Majesty can't leave you. I'm just too worried about Your Majesty, and I'm not worried about what others say, so I can only ask you. ”

Gonggong Wei pinched a cold sweat, and didn't dare to really let Concubine Jing help his humble body, so he hurriedly stood up, bowed his head and said, "Niangniang has anything to ask, but it doesn't hurt to say." ”

Concubine Jing asked, "What is the matter with Your Majesty's body?" ”

Gonggong Wei originally thought that Concubine Jing would ask His Majesty if the reconciliation with Empress Dowager Zhuang was true, but who expected that he would care about His Majesty's dragon body.

Gonggong Wei felt ashamed that he had misunderstood Concubine Jing, and he said: "Back to Concubine Niangniang, Your Majesty has been having some trouble sleeping and eating recently. ”

Concubine Jing's eyes moved: "But you are in a trance and have nightmares at night?" ”

"Exactly......" Father-in-law Wei was stunned, "Huh? How does the concubine know? ”

Concubine Jing sighed: "I guessed it, just now I talked to him, he was a little in good spirits, and asked him if he was reading the folds overnight, he said that there were too many folds, I guess he couldn't sleep, just like when he was a child." This kid has nightmares when he's stressed, and then he wants me to sleep with him in his arms...... I thought that after so many years, when he grew up, he would never be like he was when he was a child. ”

Wei Gong said fairly: "Niangniang is worried about Your Majesty. ”

Concubine Jing smiled bitterly: "He is my son, I grew up with a handful of and urine, how can I not worry about him?" By the way, the soothing incense I gave to Your Majesty, is it useful for Your Majesty? It was a prescription that I asked for from an eminent monk who could cure His Majesty's insomnia and dreams. ”

Father-in-law Wei: "Yes." ”

Concubine Jing: "Really used?" ”

Gonggong Wei smiled: "It is indeed used, if the concubine does not believe it, the slave can find the incense ash for you." ”

Concubine Jing smiled: "No need, I believe you." In the entire Huaqing Palace, except for me, only you are the most sincere to Your Majesty. ”

Father-in-law Wei owes himself: "The slave is afraid." ”

Concubine Jing handed him a box: "This is a new tranquilizing incense, the medicinal effect is better than the last time, you can take it to Your Majesty, I hope Your Majesty will no longer be troubled by nightmares." If it works, come to me again, I have many more. ”

Father-in-law Wei took the box and said, "Yes." ”

Concubine Jing said, "Then I'll go first." ”

Gonggong Wei bowed: "Congratulations to the concubine." ”

After Concubine Jing left, Gonggong Wei took the song fold and An Shenxiang to the imperial study and told the emperor about meeting Concubine Jing.

The emperor laughed: "I don't remember what happened when I was a child, and so are you, who told you to tell my mother about my situation?" She was worried. ”

Gonggong Wei explained: "Your Majesty, the concubine can see that you are unwell, doesn't it make her even more cranky if you hide it?" ”

The Emperor shook his head: "That's it." ”

Gonggong Wei smiled: "Then this soothing incense ......"

The emperor said: "Since it is a piece of the mother's heart, then let it be put and use it at night." ”

At night, Gonggong Wei lit the emperor a new tranquilizing incense sent by Concubine Jing, which seemed to have no different taste from the previous tranquilizers, but was a little stronger.

The Emperor quickly fell asleep.

Gonggong Wei said in his heart that if he could really sleep well this time, he would be able to rest.

But what no one expected was that not long after the emperor fell asleep, he had nightmares again.

This time he didn't dream that he was lying on the bed and stiff and unable to move, but that he had to be slaughtered, but that he had stumbled and fell off a cliff, and at the last moment, he grabbed a vine on the edge of the cliff.

The soles of his feet are abyss, and when the vines break, he will fall to pieces.

He shouted desperately: "Escort—escort—"

Finally, someone came.

It's Concubine Jing!

Concubine Jing lay down.

He was so moved that he almost cried, the mother concubine was really the person who loved him the most in the world.

However, instead of pulling him up, Concubine Jing took out a dagger and cut off his vines.

"Ahh

The weightlessness of falling into the abyss caused the emperor to wake up from his sleep, and he sat up and gasped for air!

When Gonggong Wei heard the movement, he couldn't even bother to put on his shoes, so he walked over with an oil lamp and asked, "Your Majesty!" ”

He saw that the emperor was pale and covered in cold sweat, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Your Majesty has a nightmare again?" ”

"I ...... I ......" The emperor covered his heart, and his body trembled slightly uncontrollably.

Fang Cai's dream was so terrifying, the feeling of falling into the abyss was worse than stabbing him with a knife ten thousand times.

It's just a nightmare, he is the Ninety-Five, and he is not a cowardly mouse, how can he be scared like this?

He himself looked down on himself.

"Your Majesty, take a sip of tea." After Father-in-law Wei put down the oil lamp, he poured a cup of herbal tea to suppress the shock.

The Emperor drank it with a grunt, but it didn't settle down much.

"I can't sleep, I'm going to see the folds for a while."

Gonggong Wei persuaded him not to move, so he had to carry the fold from the imperial study.

But the emperor couldn't sink his heart at all, and the fear in the nightmare lingered in his body like a maggot on the tarsal bones.

The emperor put down the fold in distraught: "I go out for a walk, I don't have to let them follow." ”

"Yes."

Gonggong Wei carried a lantern and went out of the Huaqing Palace with the emperor.

The emperor walked aimlessly.

Before I knew it, I came to Kunning Palace.

Gonggong Wei asked softly, "Your Majesty, do you want to go to the Empress?" The minions went to pass the word. ”

The emperor looked at the closed palace door and said lightly: "No need, it's late at night, don't wake up the queen mother." ”

Father-in-law Wei was stunned.

Queen mother?

Isn't it Queen Xiao who lives here?

Empress Dowager Zhuang moved to Renshou Palace as early as after the death of the first emperor.

Gonggong Wei looked at the emperor with a confused expression, and the emperor suddenly came back to his senses and looked at him suspiciously: "What did I just say?" ”

Gonggong Wei was stunned and said, "Ah, no, it's nothing, Your Majesty said that it was late at night, so I wouldn't wake up the queen." ”

Maybe I misheard.

Your Majesty is talking about the queen, not the queen mother.

"Empress......" The emperor's expression was in a trance for a moment, and he suddenly frowned, "How did I get here?" You didn't warn me either? In the middle of the night, it alarmed the harem and there was a burst of chickens and dogs! ”

“…… Uh, yes, it's the minions' fault. ”

Duke Wei was extremely aggrieved.

You rushed here as if you had recognized it from leaving Huaqing Palace, who could stop you?

"Let's go back." The emperor said angrily.

The emperor didn't sleep much this night, and changed his clothes on time to go to the court after the end of the day.

He was in poor spirits and almost fell asleep on the dragon chair.

Empress Dowager Zhuang said majestically and domineeringly: "If there is something to start, there is nothing to retreat!" ”

This irascible tone, properly who dares to make trouble, just wait to be done.

Hundreds of civil and military officials have said that they have nothing to do.

Gonggong Wei shouted at the top of his voice and announced: "Retreat from the dynasty-"

After leaving the Jinluan Palace, Empress Dowager Zhuang sat on her own phoenix bowl, she glanced at the emperor who was doing a full set of plays and watching her leave next to the phoenix, and sneered: "Don't you don't catch the murderer, you will die first!" ”

The emperor said coldly: "Don't worry about the mother, I'm very good!" ”

"Someone's coming!" Grandpa Wei reminded.

The emperor and the Empress Dowager Zhuang opened for a second, raising their smiling faces!

After returning to Huaqing Palace, Gonggong Wei was invited by Mama Cai to Concubine Jing's Qiuhua Pavilion.

Concubine Jing was copying Buddhist scriptures, and when she saw him coming, she smiled and asked gently, "Did Your Majesty sleep well last night?" No more nightmares, right? ”

Gonggong Wei hesitated.

Concubine Jing's smile gradually faded: "What's wrong?" Your Majesty still can't sleep? ”

"Sleep is sleep, it's just ......" Grandpa Wei sighed helplessly, "I'm having nightmares again, and I'm scared." ”

The brush in Concubine Jing's hand fell on the table, and the tip of the pen rolled around, rolling from the table to the ground, and the page of scripture that had just been copied was stained in this way.

"How so?" She murmured incredulously.

Father-in-law Wei glanced at the concubine Niangniang strangely.

Mama Cai hurriedly knelt down and sat down, picked up the brush and put it away, wiped the ink on the floor with a handkerchief, and said: "The hearts of parents in the world, Your Majesty's dragon body is not harmonious, Niangniang is worried that Your Majesty is inevitable, Niangniang's mood slave understands!" But mother, you also have to take care of yourself! The imperial doctor said that your injuries have not healed, so you can't worry about it! ”

Gonggong Wei looked at Concubine Jing.

Concubine Jing's face was full of disbelief, she squeezed the Buddhist scriptures on the table tightly, and the force was so great that she crumpled them into a ball.

Grandpa Wei's face was full of consternation.

Mama Cai grabbed Concubine Jing's wrist, looked at her fixedly, and said, "Concubine Niangniang, you must hold on!" Your Majesty is already very busy with state affairs, you can't be in a hurry anymore! ”

It turns out that you are too worried about Your Majesty? Gonggong Wei sighed secretly and said, "I'll ask the imperial doctor to come over to the concubine Niangniang's side when I go back." ”

Mama Cai said gratefully: "There is Lao Wei's father-in-law!" ”

Father-in-law Wei said politely: "The matter within the division should be." ”

Mama Cai smiled: "I'll send Grandpa Wei out." ”

Father-in-law Wei excused: "No need, Mama Cai should take care of the concubine." ”

Mama Cai insisted on sending people to the door, and watched Grandpa Wei disappear at the end of the corridor with a smile, before she smiled and returned to Qiuhua Pavilion.

She looked at Concubine Jing worriedly: "Niangniang! ”

Jing Taifei Yun gently rolled up her wide sleeves: "Okay, I'm fine." ”

The imperial doctor went to the imperial study to check the emperor's pulse, saying that the emperor was overly worried, overworked, and had a weak liver fire, and prescribed a prescription to strengthen qi and strengthen the yuan, calm the mind and calm the mind.

The emperor said disdainfully: "It's this recipe again, how many times have I eaten it, and which time has it worked?" ”

Father-in-law Wei's eyes rolled: "It's better to ...... Go find the little miracle doctor, right? ”

The emperor snorted: "Didn't you hear her say that she will never come to Huaqing Palace for treatment from now on?" ”

Father-in-law Wei smiled: "If she doesn't come to us, we can go to her!" It's not a way for you to go on like this, the concubine is freaking you! ”

The emperor frowned, and finally was moved, and he and Gonggong Wei changed their clothes for going out, and took a carriage to Miaoshou Hall.

turned out to be told that Gu Jiao was not there

Doctor Song had seen Father-in-law Wei and knew that his master was Qin Chuyu's father, a court official, so he arched his hand and said politely: "Miss Gu has gone to the doctor." ”

"How long will it take to be back?" Gonggong Wei asked.

Doctor Song said: "She didn't say it, but I guess she won't go back to the hospital today, she will have to pick up the clear space from school in a while, don't you know where her home is?" Why don't you go straight to her home! ”

The master and servant then went to Bishui Hutong.

Gu Jiao hadn't come back yet, and Yao invited the two into the house.

Today, Grandma Zhou's two daughters-in-law and Aunt Liu and her sister came here to ask the Yao family for advice, and a room full of women occupied the hall, and Aunt Liu's eyes were always on the emperor's body.

The emperor's scalp is numb!

Yao pursed his lips and smiled, and invited the emperor to his aunt's room: "Your Majesty...... The old man sat in the house for a while, and Jiaojiao came back soon. ”

"Thank you, Mrs. Gu." The Emperor thanked him politely.

Aunt Liu sneakily ran over.

The emperor was so frightened that he plugged in the deadbolt!

The Emperor sat in a small, cramped room, the light was dim because the doors and windows were closed, but the more this was done, the more it magnified the other senses.

He smelled a faint warm breath.

There used to be in distant memories.

When Gu Jiao came back from picking up the small clear space, she heard Gonggong Wei talk about the emperor's sleepless night, she went to knock on her aunt's door, and knocked for a long time without moving.

Gonggong Wei was frightened: "Your Majesty won't have an accident!" ”

Gu Jiao pulled out the dagger and pried the door bolt open.

Father-in-law Wei hurriedly pushed the door and rushed in: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty ......"

He was dumbfounded.

The emperor, who said that he couldn't sleep, was lying on his aunt's bed on all sides at the moment, drooling, snoring, snoring, snoring, snoring, snoring,
