Chapter 102: The Emperor Falls Ill
But standing high does not necessarily mean that you can see far, and if you are too high, you can't see it.
Su Wan asked with a smile; "Could it be that the Nine Emperor Princes still want to see the capital from here?"
It was just a joke, but Chu Mohan said with a serious face; "Is it possible to climb up to the seventh floor and see the capital?"
Several people were amused by his words.
Zhao Wen knew that Chu Mohan was a little stupid in his mind, so he stopped laughing; "Even if you go up to the seventh floor, you can't see the capital, but you can see the castle tower."
Chu Mohan lowered his head in some disappointment; "I thought I could see the capital."
ZHAO Wendao; "Are the Nine Emperor Princes homesick?"
Chu Mohan nodded heavily; "Well, I miss the roast duck in the capital, but the steamed dumplings in Xiangyang are also delicious......"
Chu Mohan suddenly looked entangled.
"The food in the capital is delicious, and the food in Xiangyang is also delicious......"
Zhao Wen saw that he was so entangled; "It's still early, why don't we go for supper?"
When they heard that there was food, the crowd naturally did not object.
Descend from the Dream Crane Tower.
Zhao Wen took a few people to a roadside stall.
"Boss lady, let's have four steamed dumplings." The four of them found a place to sit down, and Zhao Wen shouted.
ZHAO Wendao; "Don't look at this steamed dumpling shop is dilapidated, the taste is first-class, and many outsiders come here."
Four baskets of steamed dumplings were quickly served.
Su Wan sniffed, the taste was really fragrant.
Pick up a steamed dumpling and put it in your mouth, the soup bursts in your mouth, and the taste is delicious.
"It tastes really good." Su Wan said.
"If it doesn't taste good, how can I come here so often." Zhao Wendao.
Su Wan said with some regret; "It's a pity that I won't be able to eat it in the future."
ZHAO Wendao; "You can ask the proprietress to make the recipe."
Su Wan's eyes widened; "The recipe is not a trade secret, I went to ask the proprietress how she would tell me, I guess the proprietress would beat me to death."
Zhao Wen smiled; "The proprietress is very good, and the recipe for this steamed dumpling is sold by the proprietress for free, but whether you can make the same taste depends on yourself."
Even if it is the same material, the ingredients are the same, but the taste of each person will be slightly different.
Su Wan got up; "Then I'll ask the proprietress for the formula."
The proprietress is indeed a generous person, and she is very happy to know that Su Wan likes her steamed dumplings very much.
The proprietress gave Su Wan a piece of paper with the recipe written on it.
"This is the recipe for my steamed dumplings."
Su Wan took the formula and asked; "Boss, aren't you afraid that after others learn your formula, they will open a store and steal your business?"
The proprietress said with a smile; "My store has been open in Xiangyang City for decades, there are many old customers, you see I'm not young anymore, my son is not willing to continue to make steamed dumplings, I die, this store will be closed, so if someone asks me for a formula, I will give it to me."
Su Wan understood the proprietress thoughts, and she didn't want the smell to disappear.
Su Wan thanked her; "Thank you, hostess."
When she returned to the capital, she was going to give it a try.
As soon as the four of them left the steamed dumpling shop, a figure walked to the steamed dumpling shop, and said in a light voice: "Boss, a basket of steamed dumplings." ”
This person is dressed in a crescent moon white robe, his face is better than snow, gorgeous and cool, his eyebrows are sparse, like a light moon pear blossom, floating and shining.
It's the night scene.
"Childe, you're here, the steamed dumplings you want." The proprietress put the steamed dumplings in
The two seem to know each other.
Night Scene thanked him.
Night Scene took out a pair of chopsticks from the chopstick cage where the chopsticks were placed.
Pick up a steamed dumpling and put it in your mouth.
After so many years, this taste has never changed, and it is still the taste of the year.
Hua Xue walked over.
Bi said respectfully; "Pavilion Master, the matter has been done."
Night Scene put down the chopsticks in his hand and said lightly; "Now that everything has been done, we will be in the capital tomorrow."
The day before Su Wan and the others returned to the capital, Zhou Xia gave a farewell banquet.
Because he ate too much, Chu Mohan felt a little uncomfortable, so he went out for a walk.
When he walked to the Zhaofu Garden, Zhou Xia walked over.
"It's such a coincidence, did the Nine Emperor Princes come out for a walk?"
Chu Mohan looked at Zhou Xia, for some reason, he always felt that the woman in front of him was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.
Chu Mohan touched his stomach and smirked
"I ate too much, my stomach was a little stretched, so I went out for a walk."
"Oh!" Zhou Xia responded softly.
"I don't know if the Nine Emperor Princes have time, come with me to the gazebo in front of me to sit?"
Afraid that Zhou Xia would be suspicious, Chu Mohan nodded.
"Okay!"
The two of them came to the gazebo and sat down.
Zhou Xia's originally gentle gaze suddenly sharpened: "Nine Emperor Princes, you shouldn't be stupid, right?" ”
Chu Mohan's body stiffened, and his eyes flashed.
He is not stupid, it is impossible for Zhou Xia to admit it as soon as he asks like this.
He tilted his head and looked innocent: "Of course I'm not stupid, it's just that they say I'm stupid." ”
After speaking, Chu Mohan smiled at Zhou Xia.
Chu Mohan stroked this and anyone who saw it would think he was a fool.
Zhou Xia looked at him not like she was looking at a fool, but at a normal person.
Zhou Xia's eyes narrowed slightly: "Then I will be the Nine Emperor Princes, you are no different from ordinary people, I just want to say a word to the Nine Emperor Princes, protect Wan'er well, and don't let her receive any harm." ”
Chu Mohan nodded with a smile: "I won't let Wan'er receive any harm." ”
The expression on his face was extremely serious.
Zhou Xia nodded with satisfaction.
"Nine Emperor Princes, keep walking! I'll go back first. ”
When Zhou Xia's figure completely disappeared into the night, the smile on Chu Mohan's face slowly disappeared.
How did Zhou Xia see that she was pretending to be stupid?
Chu Mohan didn't think that Zhou Xia believed what she said, and it could be seen from her words and eyes.
However, he could see that Zhou Xia would not tell others about him pretending to be stupid.
Chu Mohan sat in the pavilion for a long time before leaving.
The gate of Xiangyang City.
"Auntie, cousin, go back!"
Su Wan reluctantly said goodbye to Zhou Xia and Zhao Wen.
Zhou Xia held Su Wan's hand tightly, her eyes were full of reluctance: "Say hello to your mother on my behalf, you should be careful all the way." ”
Su Wan's eyes were slightly red: "Auntie, you also have to take care of yourself." She looked at Zhao Wen again: "If you have time, cousin, you can bring your aunt and grandmother to the capital." ”
Zhao Wen nodded with reluctance in his eyes.
"That's it! The hour is getting short, so hurry up and set out. ”
Zhou Xia let go of Su Wan's hand, and Su Wan reluctantly got into the carriage.
The carriage slowly drove in the direction of the capital.
Just when Su Wan and the others left Xiangyang and were about to return to the capital, a major event happened in the capital.
When the queen arrived at the Qianqing Palace, Concubine Li and several other concubines were there.
The crowd saluted the queen.
"See the Queen."
The queen glanced at several people in the hall, and finally her eyes fell on Concubine Li.
"What's the situation with the emperor?"
Li Guifei didn't speak, and none of the other concubines dared to speak, and they drooped their heads one by one.
Li Guifei stepped forward; "The doctor is in it to diagnose and treat, I don't know what the specific situation is."
"You stay here, and the main palace will go into the inner hall to see the situation."
In the inner hall, Imperial Physician Chen was examining the emperor's pulse.
Seeing the queen @ coming in, Imperial Physician Chen got up and saluted the queen respectfully.
"See the Queen."
The queen's tone was calm, but there was a hint of panic in her heart; "How is the situation of Imperial Physician Chen?"
Imperial Physician Chen looked at the queen with cloudy eyes; "Back to the queen's mother, the emperor suddenly fainted because of overwork."
"Is it true that the emperor will be fine when he wakes up?" The queen asked.
"Your Majesty, he ......" Imperial Physician Chen's brows furrowed slightly, and he hesitated; The emperor ......"
The queen frowned, and said in a hurry; "Imperial Doctor Chen, if you have anything to say, just say it."
Imperial Physician Chen's voice trembled; "The emperor's situation...... There is no room for optimism. ”
There was a sudden silence in the room.
The queen's body shook a little, but fortunately Bizhu beside her supported her.
Bizhu worried; "Queen Mother, are you alright?"
The queen felt a little dizzy, and she waved her hand; "It's okay, Bizhu helped me sit down."
Bizhu answered and helped the queen to sit down.
After a long time, the queen spoke slowly; "What is the emperor's physical condition?"
"The emperor is very weak now because of overwork......
"Getting to the point."
Before Imperial Physician Chen could finish his words, the queen interrupted him sharply.
Imperial Physician Chen raised his eyes and looked at the queen, and said cautiously; "Your Majesty...... The emperor may only have half a ......year left, "lifespan, the last two words, Imperial Physician Chen did not speak.
The queen's body stiffened, like being struck by lightning, how could it be! The emperor's health is very good, how can there be only half a year left, it was too sudden, and the queen couldn't accept it for a while.
The queen raised her voice; "The emperor is in good health, how can he only have half a year left."
Imperial Physician Chen fell to his knees and said in fear; "The queen can ask other imperial doctors to take the emperor's pulse."
The queen glanced at Imperial Physician Chen, who was kneeling on the ground, her face was not very good, and her voice was a little tired; "Bizhu went to ask Imperial Doctor Zhang."
Bizhu answered, and went to Tai Hospital to ask for Dr. Zhang.
Although Imperial Physician Zhang is old, his medical skills are superb.
Several concubines in the outer hall saw Bizhu leaving Chengqian Palace in a hurry, and whispered.
"The emperor shouldn't be very sick, right?"
The concubine next to her glared at the concubine who had just spoken; "The emperor is in good health, how can there be anything."
The concubine continued; "The queen's mother didn't come out for so long, and Bizhu beside the queen hurriedly left Chengqian Palace......"
Before the concubine's words were finished, Li Guifei coughed; "Sister, you can eat things indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense, are you looking forward to something happening to the emperor?"
The concubine shook her head in fright; "Concubine...... The concubine didn't mean that, the concubine was just worried about the emperor. ”
After speaking, the concubine lowered her head and stopped talking.
After a while, Bizhu took Imperial Doctor Zhang into the Chengqian Palace.
The eyes of the concubines in the outer hall fell on Imperial Doctor Zhang.
Imperial Physician Zhang didn't seem to see the move, and followed Bizhu into the inner hall.
