Text Chapter 189 Wake up from a serious illness
Li Zhaoyi's punishment in the harem is like a bamboo forest blown by the wind, with the promulgation of the decree spread rapidly, was applauded by Li Zhaoyi's punishment design, and watched the changes in the situation silently without connection, but after that, the queen mother and the eldest princess no longer had any will, but guarded the emperor day and night alternately, such an attitude made the concubine's heart more and more panicked.
The smell of ambergris in the heart hall slowly spread, Shangguan Yu slowly opened his eyes from the soreness all over his body, the nine dragons flew on the bright bed tent, and he did not feel dim in the candlelight, and slightly tilted his head to see that the familiar face was leaning over the couch, and the weak bun was fixed as long as a pair of southern beads around the silk hairpin, at this moment Shangguan Yu seemed to return to that young age, this blink of an eye is thirty years, that day he fell off the horse, and woke up like this.
Shangguan Yu's eyes were full of tenderness and nostalgia, and he raised his hand to stroke the gentle bun, with a satisfied smile on the corner of his mouth. The beautiful person moved slightly, raised his somewhat hazy sleepy eyes, and when he met Shangguan Yu's clear eyes, he happily called: "Brother Huang~"
"An'er has worked hard." Shangguan Yu said softly, because he couldn't wake up for a long time, his voice was hoarse with a hint of lack of water.
Shangguan Ruian's nose was sour when he heard this, and he almost fell into tears: "Brother Huang has slept for a long time. ”
"Well, I'm awake now." Shangguan Yu said with a smile.
The eldest princess calmed down a little and summoned Doctor Lu, who was resting in the side hall, to come and check the pulse. He instructed him to bring the rotten chicken porridge that had been simmered.
"How is it in the palace during this time?" Shangguan Yu asked in a low voice, although he really wanted to take the eldest princess into his arms like when he was a child, but he knew that they would not be able to go back for a long time, and they would not be able to go back to the age where they could be willful, if they could...... Hehe, what is the truth, from the moment they are born, they can only be brother and sister.
"Eat all this porridge before asking, I'm afraid there will be a royal brother who will bother." Shangguan Ruian frowned.
"Oh? Let's hear it. Shangguan Yu adjusted his posture a little more comfortably, and the pain in his chest on the right side made him frown slightly.
The eldest princess carefully adjusted the position of the pillow, trying to make Shangguan Yu more comfortable, and said in a low voice: "Does the imperial brother know why he is unconscious?" ”
Shangguan Yu quipped softly: "I don't know this, but the wound on this chest is not a tiger when I fell asleep?" ”
"It's the palace that enters the tiger." The eldest princess frowned.
"The grass people also agree with the words of the eldest princess, and the grass people Lu Zhong has seen the emperor of the Celestial Dynasty." Doctor Lu went inside to pay a respect.
"Flat body, the medicine has Eucommia ulmoides to replenish the essence and qi, strengthen the muscles and bones, and strengthen the will, I wonder if Dr. Lu Zhong can have this effect?" Shangguan Yu smiled.
Doctor Lu looked at the gentle Shangguan Yu, and had a lot of praise for this emperor in his heart, he didn't like the powerful so he didn't go to the Liao Palace to serve, but preferred to travel around with Bai Yinfei. The arrogant attitude of those powerful people is really disgusting, and I was originally a little worried about the temper of this emperor of the Celestial Empire, but now I am a lot more relieved.
"The emperor smiled." Dr. Lu humbly returned.
"Doctor Lu, the imperial brother just woke up and asked Doctor Lu to diagnose the imperial brother's pulse." The eldest princess said with some unease.
"Okay, the emperor, please" Doctor Lu stepped forward and took out a small pillow cushion under Shangguan Yu's wrist, and said after a while: "The emperor's pulse is stable, and there will be no major problems in the next few days." ”
"That's fine." The eldest princess breathed a sigh of relief slightly.
"If I'm fine, why can't I wake up?" Shangguan Yu frowned and asked, although he didn't know how long he had been asleep, but he was afraid that it would take several days to look at An'er's appearance.
"If you are not mistaken, the emperor is like this because he has been poisoned." Doctor Lu said in a low voice.
"Gu?"
"Exactly, take out a Gu worm from the emperor's right chest, but unfortunately the grass people don't know much about Gu worms, and they don't know what kind of Gu worm it is." Doctor Lu said in a deep voice.
"I don't know what kind of Gu worm it is? Then I don't know the role of Gu worms? Shangguan Yu frowned.
"Exactly"
"If you want to know the role of Gu worms, what is the explanation?" Shangguan Ruian asked in a low voice.
"I'm afraid you can only know if you plant Gu worms into the human body." Doctor Lu looked at the eldest princess and replied in a low voice.
"Tell you to meet the third elder." Shangguan Yu said in a low voice.
Gonggong Xia, who was on the side, hurriedly answered and walked out of the inner room, and after a while, he entered again and nodded to Shangguan Yu. Shangguan Yufu said again: "An'er, don't make a noise about my waking up for the time being, as for the queen mother's side, just tell me quietly, and everything is as usual now." ”
The corners of the eldest princess's mouth raised slightly: "Is the imperial brother planning to set up a situation?" ”
"It's just homeopathic, but look at what this Gu person thinks of me." Shangguan Yu said coldly.
The candlelight of the Heart Cultivation Hall has not been extinguished overnight, everything does not seem to have changed, the Queen Mother and the eldest princess are still guarding the emperor in turn, and Imperial Doctor Chu and Imperial Doctor Cao are also more busy, everyone is watching the situation in the palace, and they are secretly restless.
"Your Royal Highness, you are the eldest son, and your mother is a noble concubine, and you should succeed to the throne in charge of the harem, the emperor's illness is sudden, if there is an accident, please also ask Your Highness to turn the tide and save the dynasty from danger." Yan Shangshu is colorful.
"Yan Shangshu, what do you mean by this when the emperor is still sick!" General Xie frowned and said, "What's more, the first emperor said that after the first emperor was not allowed to establish a foreign princess, didn't Yan Shangshu know?" ”
"General Xie's words are wrong, what the emperor said is not in line with the outline of the dynasty, there have been four emperors in the country since the founding of the country, and their mothers are all princesses of foreign countries, why not, there is no such article in the ancestral law." Mrs. Li raised his voice and said, "Establishing a prince is the foundation of the country. ”
"Although there are no regulations to be found in the rules set by the first emperor, the first emperor should obey the will of the first emperor. What's more, the matter of establishing a prince should be decided by the emperor. Scholar Wen frowned.
"Ladies and gentlemen, since ancient times, the second highness has the crime of rebellion, so he should establish a prince, the rules set by the emperor are just because the prince of Jin is incompetent by nature, His Royal Highness has a noble character and outstanding ability, Bai Guifei is dignified and dignified, and the concubine is deeply respected, and the emperor is seriously ill, as a courtier, he should naturally consider the emperor, doesn't Scholar Wen think so?" Yao Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials said loudly.
"The minister thinks that His Royal Highness is indeed capable, but the rules of the emperor cannot be broken, and the minister thinks that the five highnesses have both ability and political integrity, and are quite holy, so they are the best candidates for the prince." Qi Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry interjected.
"The minister also agrees with what Qi Shangshu said, the words of the first emperor cannot be spent, although there are words of standing up for a long time, but the virtuous people can live in it since ancient times, and the rules set by the first emperor and the situation of His Royal Highnesses are the most suitable for the five highnesses." Hu Shangshu agreed.
"The minister thinks ......" "This statement is ...... bad"
Jinqi looked coldly at the hundreds of officials arguing in front of the royal gate, eager to see their expressions after hearing that their father had woken up.
"Jinqi, no one recommended you here, it seems that you are in the hearts of the courtiers, uh, how to say it, a little weak." Xie Jianxiong looked at Shangguan Jinqi with infinite sympathy. Shangguan Jinqi glanced at him and said coldly, "Have you checked the matter?" ”
"Hehe, why are you in such a hurry, isn't this, are you still investigating? You said that it is convenient for you to check the sky mark yourself. Xie Jianxiong asked embarrassedly.
"Brother Second Emperor has a lot to do in this matter, and it is not easy for me to intervene more." Jinqi said half of it, and more importantly, his father wanted to avoid suspicion, which he really cared about, whether his father was afraid that he would frame the second emperor brother or something else...... That's it, since the father wanted Jianxiong and Bai Yinfei to verify, he respected the emperor's order.
"Oh, that's it, but why do you want Bai Yinfei to check with me, can't you change someone?" Xie Chien-shiung complained dissatisfied.
"Why?" Jinqi knows Bai Yinfei quite well, but why doesn't she seem to be happy with Xie Jianxiong?
"I always felt that guy was trying to do something bad to my sister, and I wanted to beat him up just by looking at him. When the investigation is over, you have to beat him into a pig's face! Xie Jianxiong said viciously.
The corners of Jinqi's mouth lifted and said, "I still have to leave beforehand, and besides, you can't beat him." ”
"Why can't you beat it, hey, don't go!" Xie Jianxiong hurriedly caught up with Shangguan Jinqi and left the chaotic court. At this moment, the ministers had already been hyped up, and Shangguan Jinxiang and Shangguan Jinmo, who were surrounded by them, were also glaring at each other. didn't notice the departure of the two at all, and this kind of quarrel has lasted for three days, at first Xue Taifu and the others would dissuade them, but now they find that there is no point in dissuasion, so they simply don't bother to care.
In the court, quarrels on the surface gradually evolved from private communication and plots, but unfortunately the emperor was still "bedridden", which failed to bring any evil consequences and punishments. But let this arrogance become more and more intense. Twenty-nine days have passed since the emperor was seriously ill, the battle in the court has become more and more obvious, and the smell of gunpowder has become stronger and stronger.
"Niangniang be careful" Ning Chu took the tea that was about to be spilled in Bai Guifei's hand, carefully wiped the water stains on Bai Guifei's dress, and said softly: "Don't worry, Niangniang, the slave has been preparing for a week, and it won't go wrong." ”
"Ning Chu, this palace always feels uneasy." Bai Guifei said with a slight jump in her right eye.
"Niangniang must be nervous, Master Xu's medicine has never been missed, the spices arranged by the slave maid for the Queen Mother and the eldest princess have been replaced for more than a week, and there has never been any doubt, and there will be no mistakes tomorrow." Ning Chu said in a low voice.
"Are you sure they're useful?" Bai Guifei asked uneasily.
"Rest assured, the eyeliner of Cining Palace and Yongning Palace has informed the slaves and maids, and those two like it very much, and they light it every day." Ning Chu said softly: "Today, I have taken the final medicinal incense and lit it, I am afraid that Niangniang will work harder tomorrow, should I rest earlier." ”
"Well, take a break." The corners of Bai Guifei's mouth were slightly raised, with a hint of expectant smile, she nodded in response, and Ning Chu served the heavy concubine clothes, and only a pair of crested golden hairpins were left in the bun, otherwise the hair would be completely scattered, Bai Guifei looked at herself in the mirror, as if she saw the appearance of twenty years ago, with youthful expectations and hopes, waiting for the man she loved deeply, but tomorrow, the man's eyes will be her own appearance.
Bai Guifei gently brushed her cheeks, and there was no wrinkle on her proudly maintained face, but the phoenix eyes were infected with deeper emotions and sharp edges. Bai Guifei smiled lightly, turned around and lay down on the bed through the heavy gauze curtains, and fell asleep with a smile.
Tomorrow is a new day, changing the situation of the court.
