Chapter 131: Memories of My Youth
"Ahem...... cough cough ...... "Emperor Fengming was correcting the recital in the imperial study, and from time to time there were a few coughing sounds, and the queen was grinding the inkstone on the side, and she was also very anxious, so she hurriedly handed over a handkerchief and said, "What's going on with this hospital?!" It's been more than half a month, why hasn't the emperor's illness improved?! ”
Emperor Fengming put down the pen in his hand, leaned on the dragon chair behind him, and sighed: "The efficiency of this Tai Hospital has been getting worse and worse recently, Li Quan, you go to the Tai Hospital to have a look, and pass the order, if you can't cure me within a month, you will all go to the Criminal Department to receive a "reward"!" ”
Li Quan cautiously glanced at Emperor Fengming, his face was extremely bad, and the empress caressed his back on the side before relenting a little: "The slave obeys the order!" Li Quan withdrew from the imperial study in small steps, took a few low-ranking eunuchs, and rushed towards the imperial hospital.
Several imperial doctors from the Tai Hospital were grabbing medicine for several palace concubines who were not in good health, when they heard Li Quan's voice coming from outside the door: "Imperial Doctor Xu, our family is here, don't you plan to come out to greet you?" A few people came in at the gate of the hospital, and the Imperial Doctor Xu hurriedly greeted him: "Manager Li, didn't you just grab the medicine to the palace maidens, you didn't notice it, if there is something wrong, I hope that Manager Li has a lot of people, and don't worry about the villain!" ”
Li Quan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Hey, they are all doing things for the emperor, so what do you say is not good at hospitality." Our family is here to pass on the emperor's message this time! Imperial Physician Xu knelt on the ground, bowed his head, and waited for Li Quan to speak.
"The emperor's edict is that the hospital is not doing well, my old illness is getting more and more serious, the time limit is one month, if the treatment is not good, then go to the criminal department to receive the punishment!" Li Quan said the word "punishment" very seriously, and Mrs. Xu raised his head violently, he remembered that the emperor's prescriptions were carefully checked and selected by him, how could it be aggravated?
Li Quan lowered his head with a smile and looked into the eyes of Imperial Physician Xu: "Imperial Physician Xu, our family can't protect you this time, the emperor is really angry this time, I believe that Imperial Physician Xu, you will also do your best for the emperor's dragon body, right?" Imperial Physician Xu squeezed out a smile with difficulty, "That's that!" ”
"The emperor's message has also been passed on to our family, if there is nothing to do, then our family will go back to serve the emperor first!" When Li Quan got out of the hospital, Imperial Doctor Xu hurriedly got up from the ground, ran to the prescription prepared for Emperor Fengming, twisted some medicinal powder with his fingers, put it on the tip of his nose and smelled it, his brows furrowed, there is really no problem with this prescription, why is the emperor's old illness getting more and more serious?
On the way back to the imperial study, Li Quan ran into Shangguan Su, so he stopped, waved his hand, and signaled the little eunuchs behind him to go first. Shangguan Su glanced at the eunuchs behind Li's body, and asked curiously: "Manager Li, why are you bringing so many people here?" ”
Li Quan waited for the eunuchs to go away, and then bowed his head respectfully, and said to Shangguan Su: "See His Royal Highness the Prince, the emperor's old illness is getting more and more serious, so he asked our family to go to the Tai Hospital to spread the word!" Shangguan frowned slightly, looked around, leaned over to Li Quan's side, and asked, "No one knows what I asked you to do, right?" ”
Li Quanmei smiled: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered, the servants naturally do it very well, no, the emperor, he didn't suspect coming to us at all, and he pushed this responsibility to the Tai Hospital!" Shangguan Su smiled and patted Li Quan's shoulder: "Good job, the crown prince who came to Japan and ascended the throne must be indispensable to the benefits of General Manager Li!" ”
Li Quan was even more happy: "The slave thanks His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for his love, His Royal Highness's kindness, the slave remembers it in his heart!" ”…… I looked around again, and saw a few palace maids walking over here, with a few washed clothes on the plate in their hands, thinking that they were sending a change of clothes to the lady of a certain palace!
"Someone's coming!" Shangguan Su gestured to Li Quan with his eyes, Li Quan understood, waved the dust whisk in his hand, and bowed his head slightly: "I've seen His Royal Highness the Prince!" Shangguan let out a salty "um" and left.
Prince's Mansion
"Niangniang, Your Highness has instructed you, you can't step out of this room, and please cooperate with Niangniang!" The guards at the door blocked in front of the princess, Ah Ling glared at the two guards fiercely, the princess sighed, returned to the room, sat down in front of the dresser, looked at her increasingly haggard face, and couldn't help but have red eyes.
Ah Yu scolded and walked back to the room: "Those two guards are obviously bullies, Niangniang, you are this princess, they stopped you, don't you just don't take you seriously!" The crown princess smiled bitterly and looked at Ah Yan: "If it weren't for His Highness's orders, they wouldn't have stopped them." Half a month has passed, and the bottle of poison has entered the womb of my father...... It's all to blame for the uselessness of the main palace, if the main palace had destroyed the poison earlier that day, it wouldn't have been like this! ”
"Niangniang, don't blame yourself, this matter is not your fault, Your Highness did this, but also listened to Ye Shen's instigation of this villain, you also advised Your Highness, but Your Highness put you under house arrest, Niangniang, not a slave said you, since you married into the Prince's Mansion, I have been looking forward to Your Highness being able to see your sincerity as soon as possible, but Your Highness has repeatedly accepted concubines, you should also think about yourself, if Your Highness is deposed by the emperor......" Ah Yan's words were interrupted by the Crown Princess.
The crown princess slapped the dresser angrily, "Ah! Is there something you can discuss about Your Highness?! If His Royal Highness hears this, he will blame the palace for not teaching his subordinates strictly, and at worst, he will drive you out of the prince's mansion! Seeing that the princess's face had not eased for a long time, she said again: "Niangniang, the slave is wrong, the slave will never talk about His Royal Highness again......"
"Okay, the palace is a little tired, you can go back to your room to rest!" The princess stood up from the dresser, walked slowly to the bed, and walked up quickly, spread out the bedding, helped the princess take off her shoes, and helped her lie on the bed. The crown princess didn't look at Ah Ling, pulled the futon to her neck, turned sideways, and closed her eyes.
Seeing that the crown princess had fallen asleep, Ah Yu returned to the side room.
Tears slowly slid down the princess's cheeks and fell into the pillow, the princess opened her eyes, took a deep breath, and stubbornly wiped away the tears on her face! In my mind, the scene of meeting Shangguan for the first time came to mind......
Seven years ago, she stepped into the palace for the first time, or her mother took her to the palace to meet the queen of the dynasty, that is, the mother of Shangguan Su, the wives of the ministers were talking and laughing in the hall, and at the age of twelve, she walked alone in the palace, but who knew that she was lost.
Shuttling through the path between the palaces and palaces, I met several boys of the same age as myself, who were practicing martial arts with swords, and the taller one, like the elder brother of these boys, taught these boys hand in hand.
One of them, a boy who seemed to be isolated, practiced swords alone......
Gao Jieran (the crown princess) did not go up directly, but secretly hid in the corner and watched. An hour later, the boys put their swords back into their scabbards and were about to leave, when the boy who had been isolated noticed Gao Jieran, who had been watching them practice swordsmanship.
After the brothers who practiced swords with themselves returned to the palaces, the isolated boy looked in the direction of Gao Jieran: "I have seen you, come out!" Gao Jieran looked around, but didn't find anyone, Shangguan looked at her confused appearance, and sneered: "What about you!" ”
Gao Jieran pointed at herself incredulously, and after getting Shangguan Su's affirmative look, she slowly walked out of the grass: "I am hiding behind the grass, how did you find me?" Shangguan Su pointed to the clothes on Gao Jieran's body and said, "Your clothes are so eye-catching, can you not find it!" ”
Gao Jieran glanced down at the clothes she was wearing today, this was a bright pink dress, hiding in the green grass, it was not surprising that it could be seen at a glance.
"Which palace are you the daughter of? Why don't you even have a palace maid and eunuch behind you? Shangguan asked curiously, Gao Jieran shook her head, and said: "I followed my mother to the palace today to meet the queen's mother, the adults are chatting in the palace, I was in a panic in the palace, so I came out for a walk, but who knew that this palace was so big, I lost my way around it!" ”
"Oh!" Shangguan Su turned around, picked up the sword placed on the stone table, and was about to go back. Before he had walked a few steps, he stopped again: "Didn't you just say that your mother went to the palace to meet the queen mother?" Gao Jieran nodded vigorously, her eyes shining: "Do you know how to find my mother?" ”
"If you want to find your mother, then come with me!" Shangguan Su threw down this sentence and walked forward by himself, Gao Jieran hurriedly followed, for fear of getting lost again.
Along the way, Gao Jieran's words never stopped......
"Little brother, what do you call you?"
"Shangguan Sorrow"
"Shangguan Su, this name is so good, my name is Gao Jieran, you can call me Ran Ran directly, my mother calls me that!"
"Brother Su, looking at what you are wearing, you should be the prince of the palace mother!"
"Hmmm......"
"Brother Sorrow......"
"Why are you talking so much, if you want to see your mother soon, then talk less!"
Thinking about it, a trace of arc appeared at the corner of the crown princess's mouth, Shangguan Su at that time was the young man in his heart at the beginning!
From then on, her mother often took her to the queen's palace to meet her, and it was all so harmonious, but when the decree was given, everything changed......
"Gao Jieran, you and your mother are so calculating, come to my mother's harem to meet me, just to win over my mother, so as to consolidate your Gao family's position in the court! Now that I have been appointed crown prince, my father has issued a holy decree that I should marry you
?! ”
Gao Jieran just shook her head, she wanted to marry Shangguan Su, but she really didn't know about the emperor's marriage, and she wanted to explain, but she was deeply suffocated! When she was young, her mother often instilled in her ears that she must become the crown princess, become the queen of Fengming, and maintain the glory of the Gao family for generations!
Perhaps, this incident was her mother's request to the queen mother......
"What? Nothing more? Gao Jieran, a scheming woman like you, even if you marry into my prince's mansion, you will never be able to enter my eyes! ”
