(52) Nature
On the second day, Li Siyuan was supposed to get up early to go to the morning court, but he was already late last night because he was dealing with official business, and he waited for a long time because Shen Qingjun was ill.
But even after waiting until dawn, Shen Qingjun still hadn't woken up yet.
Feeling a little tired, he sent someone to clean up an empty room next to Shen Qingjun, and spread the soft mattress moved from the Heart Cultivation Palace.
Last night's news spread very quickly, at least if the emperor did not stop it, it was easy to spread from the Tai Hospital to the homes of the hundred officials.
In addition, in the early court today, the emperor's eunuch Chang Fanglai rumored that His Majesty was ill and could not be in the early dynasty, and this rumor was indeed implemented.
His Majesty once again delayed the government because of Shen Qingjun.
But fortunately, Li Siyuan does often do not do ordinary things, and it is not uncommon to be lazy under the pretext of Shen Qingjun on weekdays, plus General Shen Mo's majesty is unshaken, and he has made military achievements in the past few days, and because there is no major event in the DPRK and China, the matter of His Majesty not early today is naturally a big thing and a small thing.
Since Li Siyuan has stayed here, Yi Shu is naturally even more responsible, but taking advantage of the danger of others, when Shen Qingjun was in a coma, he and His Majesty slept next to her, Yi Shu thought that he couldn't do it.
Therefore, she also learned from Li Siyuan and sent someone to clean up the room next door, but she didn't need high specifications like Li Siyuan, so she took out a few futons from Shen Qingjun's warehouse at will and barely used them as guest rooms.
The two nobles rested, and the people who served them naturally shrank into the ear room, ready to nourish their spirits and better serve their masters.
However, Shen Qingjun's maids were not so lucky, almost all of them jumped into the water with Shen Qingjun last night, followed Yi Shu back along the way, and began to be arranged to clean up the room before and after changing clothes.
After cleaning up the room, he was busy cleaning up the things that Shen Qingjun had broken last night, and kept cleaning up until dawn.
Qingtuan and Nuomi, as the maids of the palace, were even more extremely tired, but one was busy running between the Tai Hospital and the Donglin Palace, and the other had to devote energy to arranging the accommodation of His Majesty and Mrs. De, and the two did not even have enough time to take care of Shen Qingjun.
Fortunately, Shen Qingjun was fine, and even very intimate without high fever, just lying quietly on the bed, his face was abnormally pale, and he didn't wake up.
The people in the palace in Mandong have been busy until dawn, probably because Shen Qingjun has few things to do on weekdays and does not go out, and the people in her palace are also having a relaxed life, so that they are suddenly overworked, and everyone looks tired.
The Youth League couldn't bear it, and even more because they thought that His Majesty and Mrs. De, who were sleeping in the Donglin Palace for a while, would wake up, and the Donglin Palace had to stay behind to serve the people, but the bodies of these people were not iron-beaten, even if they barely insisted, how long could they last?
Therefore, when it was time to cook porridge, the Youth League gathered all the subordinates to gather:
"The Youth League knows that everyone has been tired all night, but I hope you all hold on a little longer, just now Nuomi has already taken the recipe left by the imperial doctor yesterday to Taihong Palace, and will report the events of last night to Wei Xiuyi later.
Everyone in the palace knows that Wei Xiuyi is kind, and the palace people in Taihong Palace are also known for being helpful, and Xiuyi is good friends with Zhaoyi, presumably Wei Xiuyi will not be stingy with borrowing people from the Donglin Palace, and when Wei Xiuyi comes, we will be able to rest. ”
Everyone should be.
As the Youth League said, Wei Qing came quickly, just like when he sent the sobering decoction, he walked quickly and with high momentum.
Maybe he hasn't walked in the palace for a few days, or maybe he wants to prove something, Wei Qing's momentum today is particularly eye-catching, with a large group of people, not inferior to the collection of palaces that followed Shen Qingjun last night, everyone is holding pots and pans, melons, fruits and vegetables in their hands, as if they are going to fight in a group.
However, the East Sixth Palace and the West Sixth Palace are separated by many central palaces after all, plus Wei Qing's time to count things and people, before Wei Qing arrived, Li Siyuan and Yi Shu had already finished washing and sat next to Shen Qingjun's bed.
"Didn't Junjun wake up last night?" As soon as Li Siyuan sat down, he asked the guard.
"Back to Your Majesty, Zhaoyi... I really didn't wake up last night. ”
Li Siyuan pondered for a moment, raised his hand and put the back of his hand on Shen Qingjun's forehead, and carefully felt the temperature: "It's normal now, so has she ever had a high fever?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty," Qingtuan pointed to the basin on the table next to the bed: "Last night, the slave maid was also worried that Zhaoyi would have a high fever due to the cold, so she specially prepared a cold cloth to cool down, but she didn't use it. ”
"Oh......" Li Siyuan nodded.
Yi Shu, who was sitting next to him, smiled at the Qingtuan: "This palace sees that you have been tired since last night, you are the big palace maid of the East Palace, and you still need to arrange many things, especially after Qing Zhaoyi wakes up...... This palace knows that she has always been picky, if there is no confidant who is afraid that she will be unhappy, you will go to rest now, call the matter to Baoqin for the time being, and then call you up when Qing Zhaoyi wakes up. ”
This is reasonable, although there is some suspicion of coercion, but in Li Siyuan's ears, it is for the good of Shen Qingjun and the Youth League from any point of view, so he naturally has no objection.
Without waiting for the Youth League to open its mouth to refuse, Baoqin, who was standing behind Yi Shu, gave Changfang a look, and the two of them "helped" the Youth League out together.
In this way, only the unconscious Shen Qingjun, Li Siyuan who looked at Shen Qingjun, and Yi Shu who admired Li Siyuan's side face were left in this cold ice hall.
Shen Qingjun seemed to hear some voices and frowned slightly, but did not open his eyes.
"You don't have me in your heart~" Sweet and greasy, she knew this voice, it was Mrs. De.
Shen Qingjun rarely saw the dignified and elegant Mrs. De make such a greasy and tactful voice, but no matter how much it was, it was a little inaudible, and it was still some love words, mixed with a familiar male voice in the middle.
The only person in this palace who can flirt with Yi Shu can only be the emperor.
A hint of disgust welled in her heart.
In fact, she didn't understand so much that the emperor was clearly so close to Yi Shu. They grew up together as childhood sweethearts, they are a young couple, and they are deeply affectionate.
She never understood.
Between two close people, why should you cram into a disconnected, reluctant self?
She has always felt that the emperor is a little sickly, he is obsessed with collecting all kinds of beauties, gentle and considerate, pure and lovely, dignified and elegant, he seems to see one and love the other, but he doesn't seem to be so concerned.
He sometimes remembered that the queen liked chilled pears, so he sent them over despite the cold winter wax moon, and the queen could only look at the pears on the plate and sigh; Or because she often eats hazelnut crisp and sweet soup made by Wei Qing, she brings her a bunch of desserts from time to time, but she actually likes spicy food.
The only different situation in the palace concubine was that she remembered that Yi Shu had praised the grapes of Fanbang at the state banquet, so she gave her the raisins in stock.
She felt disgusted, not because she saw Yi Shu's affection for Li Siyuan, not because the two of them were holding hands next to her, whispering softly.
She just hated the emperor for spreading his vast love to her, and the more she refused, the more alienated, the more cold and resolute, the more the emperor felt that he had hope.
If the children of the Shen family were so half-hearted, I am afraid that they would have been robbed of their surnames long ago.
Shen Qingjun was originally reluctant to have a bad relationship with Yi Shu, because she didn't want her brother to have a hard time in the court, not to mention that Yi Shu was well-behaved and fair, and he was indeed worthy of the title of Mrs. De.
At first, she didn't understand why Yi Shu was so tolerant.
Later, I realized that although Yi Shu had an introverted personality, she loved the emperor too much, and she was willing to do anything for the emperor, and in the same way, her possessiveness for the emperor was buried in the deep part of her heart, like magma.
Yi Shu has an inevitable hatred for himself, but he has to lie down and taste his courage, and his heart is like a knife.
And she has a dislike for the emperor, so she and Yi Shu can't be allies, and one day they may become enemies.
She sighed inwardly.
She just wanted her brother to be alive and Shen Jiajun safe and sound.
