Before autumn came, Zhang Zhidong and Su Zhiming finally returned to the court.

The two came back with a detailed survey report and handed it to the emperor, and the three of them talked freely in the imperial study for a long time, and when they came out of the imperial study, Su Zhiming walked in front, and Zhang Zhidong was half a step behind.

The little eunuch who inquired about the news went back and told Duofu, and Duofu told Su Youyi in turn.

Su Youyi was very satisfied with this, and it didn't take long for Su Zhiming's greeting post to be handed in, saying that it was inconvenient for a foreign man to enter the inner palace, and Su Zhiming kowtowed to her outside the Kunning Palace to say goodbye.

Su Youyi ordered Duofu to go out to greet her on her behalf, said some kind words, and rewarded him and his father Su Heng with a lot of things.

Su Heng was very happy to see the many rewards, and pulled Su Zhiming to pick him up and wash the dust, "My son is really capable, the first errand he just did in the office was so proper, the emperor praised the queen's reward, even the champion can't stop my son's limelight!" ”

Su Zhiming said modestly: "Father is too careful. In fact, for the sake of the queen's mother, Brother Zhang will be polite and humble. His talents are not below mine, and we are equally divided, and he should not have given in. ”

Su Heng inquired carefully, only to know what happened, and couldn't help but sigh, "The queen is fair, but in the end she protects her own family." ”

Su Zhiming also sighed a lot when he heard this, "Originally, I thought that Niangniang was very embarrassed for me like this, and I was a little sorry for Brother Zhang. I didn't expect Brother Zhang to be open-minded, saying that he could serve the queen, these little things are nothing. He also said that he would be grateful to me, if not, how could he, a person with no background, find such a backer as the queen in the court? ”

"I thought about it carefully, so not only did I not have a dislike with Brother Zhang, but became more intimate, and agreed to help each other in the DPRK in the future."

Zhang Heng opened his mouth and couldn't help but sigh that Su Youyi was smart.

This move not only made Su Zhiming stand out and take on important responsibilities, but also indirectly regained Zhang Zhidong, the new champion, and most importantly, gave Su Zhiming such a powerful helper and friend.

Count it all in one fell swoop.

Looking back on that year, Su Heng was full of emotion.

"Father, father? What happened to you? ”

Seeing that he was silent, Su Zhiming waved his hand in front of his eyes, and Su Heng sighed, "It's nothing, it's just that I feel that my father is not as far-sighted as your cousin." For your father, you don't read much, but your cousin is the one who almost passed the test. As a father, he thinks that it is enough for him to have a son, but your cousin only has a daughter, but he has taught her to read and write since he was a child. ”

"At that time, his father still laughed at him, so what was the use of teaching his daughter to read? Can his daughter still test his fame for him? Your cousin did not give up because of the shame of others, not only insisted on teaching his daughter to read, but also took you to study with him. ”

"My father really admires your cousin now, if he hadn't been educated properly since he was a child, how would he be the famous queen now? I'm afraid that even you will have to farm in Lingnan with your father, let alone one day when you can enter the court as an official......"

Su Zhiming was also very emotional when he heard this, "Yes, the child can have today, thanks to his uncle and the queen's mother." ”

"If only you understood."

Su Heng nodded meaningfully, "I heard that the emperor has been in poor health recently, and the courtiers have the intention of persuading the emperor to establish a prince. You have to remember, you must maintain the queen mother in such a major matter, and this is the law of my Su family, understand? ”

Su Zhiming nodded seriously.

He felt that this was the most correct sentence in his life as a father from a remote mountain forest.

……

"How is the emperor's body lately?"

When the imperial physician entered Kunning Palace to ask for peace, Su Youyi asked the emperor about the situation.

I heard that in recent days, because of the construction of the imperial mausoleum, the emperor has worked a little more, and his body is even worse than before.

The imperial doctor frowned, lest he be charged with being ineffective, "Back to the queen's mother, the emperor's dragon body is fine, but he is tired, and he will be fine after a few days of rest." ”

After the imperial doctor finished diagnosing the pulse, Su Youyi withdrew her hand, "Since the emperor's epidemic has been cured, his body has been much worse than before, but is there anything wrong with the prescription for the previous treatment?" ”

"No, it won't."

The imperial physician shook his head, "Later, everyone in the palace and the common people were treated according to the prescription given by the imperial hospital, and I have never heard of such a situation as the emperor." It stands to reason that the emperor's body is already stronger than others, so it shouldn't be like this......"

Su Youyi suddenly thought that the prescription developed by the imperial doctor was modified on the basis of an ancient prescription.

"By the way, if you take out the previous ancient recipe and study it, can you find out the reason for the emperor's weakness?"

The imperial doctor shook his head, "I'm just afraid that it's difficult, that ancient prescription is still weird to Weichen, and the few flavors of medicine in it are clearly unreasonable." However, the whole recipe is indeed effective in curing the epidemic, so we can cure the epidemic with a slight change. ”

Su Youyi's heart moved, and she didn't say anything.

After the Imperial Physician left, she called Duofu closer, "I don't think the previous prescription is strange. You send someone to check and see where the Tai Hospital got that ancient prescription, and maybe you can find out the root cause of the emperor's current weakness and weakness. ”

"Yes."

Duofu was ordered to retreat, and Su Youyi ordered someone to make soup and send it to Qianqing Palace, Shuya said: "Niangniang should send it in person, and visit the emperor by the way." It's impossible to say that it's so close without going there in person. ”

Su Youyi was too lazy to go, and she couldn't stand Shuya's constant persuasion, so she had to go in person.

I didn't want to meet Concubine Yu outside the Qianqing Palace.

Concubine Yu also heard that the emperor was unwell, so she made food to bring to the emperor, and she was originally full of wanting to invite pets, but she didn't want to just run into Su Youyi.

She had no choice but to come up and ask for peace, Su Youyi didn't say anything, and entered the hall first.

When the palace people told the queen to arrive, the emperor was overjoyed, and almost immediately put down the red pen that was reading the folds, "You came just in time, I will show you something interesting." ”

When he saw that Su Youyi was still followed by Concubine Jue, her smile immediately fell, "Why are you here again?" ”

The tortoiseshell was extremely embarrassed.

The emperor only thought that she did not exist, beckoned Su Youyi to come close, unfolded a large architectural drawing to Su Youyi, and said, "What do you think?" ”

It was the overall construction drawing of the Imperial Mausoleum.

In the middle of the underground palace, the position of the coffins of the emperor and queen is particularly eye-catching.

The tortoise concubine looked at the picture and couldn't find her location, "Your Majesty, where are the concubines buried after they die?" ”

The emperor didn't raise his head, "Queen Jiang's Jingtai Mausoleum is still very spacious, I ordered people to build a concubine mausoleum after Jingtai Mausoleum, and then the concubine will be buried in the concubine mausoleum, and Queen Jiang will be with her." ”

Princess: "......"
