Chapter Ninety-Three: A Sudden Illness
The cherry blossoms in Luoyang City this year bloom a little late, there is a cherry blossom forest in the back garden of the Fence Garden, the weather is getting warmer in May, the cherry blossoms bloom, the garden is full of the faint fragrance of cherry blossoms, a gust of wind drifts by, the cherry blossoms fall to the ground colorfully, paved with pink.
And this sea of cherry blossoms is facing the house where Lin Qingzhi lives, and when the window is opened, a few petals of pink fall on her white skirt with the wind, which is extremely beautiful.
Chengqing has been full moon, and Lin Qingzhi's body has recovered as before, she is completely free of the bloated and old state of giving birth, her waist is slim, her skin is white and snowy, and with that beautiful face, she is still as beautiful as a twenty-eight girl.
In the past few days, Lin Qingzhi has been drinking tea and reading books except for holding Chengqing, leisurely like a boudoir woman, Wu Xuan's leg injury has almost healed, and she began to bounce in the yard often on crutches, and the small courtyard has returned to a peaceful atmosphere.
It's just that Wanxin urged Ah Da and Ah Er to ask Lin Qingzhi about her next plan several times, but every time she replied to her, it was four words: "wait and see". Everyone couldn't guess what Lin Qingzhi was thinking.
Until the afternoon of this day, Lin Qingzhi wore a light tulle dress and took a nap on the embroidered couch under the window, Ah Da appeared beside him and reported the news of Xiao Mufeng's expedition to the east, Lin Qingzhi's closed eyes finally opened, and said lightly: "You can prepare." ”
In the seventeenth year of Yongping, on May 8, Prince Ning led an army of 300,000 to the east to quell the rebellion. Jiaozhou Jiedu caused Zheng Zhi to rebel, and it was rumored that Zheng Zhi was secretly supported by the Goryeo royal court before defecting.
Fifteen days later, the good news came, the Jin army defeated the rebels, Xiao Mufeng held a long knife, with one block hundred, brave and good at fighting. The people all raised flags to celebrate, praising the second prince King Ning as a victorious general, and the people who supported the court were even more like faces, smiling, as if the person who was praised was as glorious as himself.
Good news came frequently, and there were even rumors that King Ning broke into the enemy camp single-handedly and took the head of Zheng Zhi, the leader of the rebel generals.
The successive good news has made the emperor's spirit, which is deteriorating, a lot better, and I heard that the emperor's smile has increased recently, and people have become a lot kinder.
It's just that those henchmen who support King Shin are like eggplants beaten by frost, and they are extremely depressed.
Sure enough, as Lin Qingzhi expected, a few days later, Concubine Xun Shu, who finally couldn't sit still, asked the emperor to say that the king of Xin's love was just beginning, and she had a soft spot for Wen Zhiyi, the young daughter of Wen Zongshen, the right minister, and asked the emperor to give her a marriage.
The emperor agreed to give the marriage, and ordered the Ministry of Rites and Qintianjian to choose a few auspicious days, Concubine Xun Shu to be a good fate sooner rather than later, crying that she was not in good health and wanted to hold her grandson as soon as possible, begged the emperor to choose the sixth day of the sixth month of June as the wedding date.
For a while, the court was secretly speculating about the emperor's meaning, whether he was really going to pass on the throne to this little son, after all, marrying the daughter of the right prime minister is equivalent to having the solid backing of the right minister, so the road to winning the heir will be much smoother.
When Lin Qingzhi heard the news, he didn't say a word, but just asked Ah Da how he was prepared.
Time passed like a stream, and in a blink of an eye, it was the sixth day of the sixth month of June, and Luoyang City finally ushered in the wedding of a prince, the same people on the street rushed to look at each other, the same red makeup ten miles, the same royal majesty.
At this time last year, she became his wife, and this year, although she has children, she is separated.
Lin Qingzhi listened to the noise and excitement, and there was only deep regret and sympathy in her eyes.
The moon is bright and bright.
For King Xin, it was the most important day in his life, the night of candles in the cave room, but the news came that the emperor was seriously ill, and after returning to the palace, the emperor fell ill, lying on the dragon bed in a daze and muttering nightmares, his whole body burned like fire, sometimes awake and sometimes in a trance.
This is a big deal for Concubine Xun Shu, the doctors of the Tai Hospital are all gathered in the Chengqian Palace, Concubine Xun Shu is at a loss, and called her son Xiao Muheng overnight, after all, if the emperor is very ill and serious, if there is a son by his side, there will be a legitimate reason to succeed to the throne at that time.
But she ignored one thing, that is, when Xiao Muheng arrived, it was only half a tea time, and the emperor's brother King Qi also came, and as for who reported it, King Qi said that the person who reported it was on the order of Concubine Xun Shu, but Concubine Xun Shu knew it in her heart and did not send someone to report to King Qi, but then she checked all the internal guards in the palace who were not on duty that night to no avail.
So Concubine Xun thought that King Qi also had the heart to compete for the throne, and even if it was bad, she was on Xiao Mufeng's side, at least not on her own side, but poor Old Prince Qi was still in the dark and didn't know it.
Although he has always been an idle prince and does not get involved in party disputes, let the young son testify that the prince did it that day so that the Jin country would not fall into the hands of the incompetent and perverse prince, as for King Xin and King Ning, he didn't want to wade into this troubled water.
That night, King Qi, King Xin, and Concubine Xun Shu were guarded all night, and the emperor's condition was stable and slightly improved, but he still lay on the bed in a daze for two days, even if the heat faded, he was still unconscious.
When the Queen Mother learned that her son was so seriously ill, she broke into the Chengde Hall and asked loudly: "What disease does the emperor suffer?" ”
The two imperial doctors on the side trembled and said: "The emperor was infected with the wind cold, and he had a high fever last night. ”
The Queen Mother Wen Yan's face was not good, and she asked sharply: "Why did the good man suddenly catch the wind cold?" After speaking, his angry eyes swept to Concubine Xun on the side.
Concubine Xun Shu saw the color of the Queen Mother, hurriedly saluted and said respectfully: "Back to the Queen Mother, the emperor came back from Heng'er's wedding banquet yesterday, saying that he was tired, and the concubine only felt a little feverish under the inspection, so she found a doctor, and now the fever has subsided, the emperor has the blessing of God, and it will be fine soon, please don't worry about the Queen Mother, take care of the phoenix body." ”
"Do you really want the emperor to be well? Maybe the more sick the emperor is, the happier your mother and son will be, right? The Queen Mother snorted coldly and squinted at Concubine Xun.
Concubine Xun Shu's body trembled, she hurriedly knelt down, touched the ground with her forehead, and choked up: "The queen mother is angry, the concubines have a heart for the emperor, and the concubines hate to replace the emperor with their bodies. ”
The queen mother saw that Concubine Xun Shufei's appearance didn't look fake, and her voice softened a little, and said: "The mourning family has always felt that you are gentle and virtuous, so with you by the emperor's side, the mourning family is very relieved, even if you enjoy exclusive favor, the mourning family did not say more to the emperor, only when you were wronged too much by the Wang family before, and the right to compensate, but I didn't expect you to be so ignorant, only knowing the glory of your mother and son, and not thinking about the emperor's dragon body at all. ”
"The concubine knows her mistake, she must be careful in the future, and everything is based on the emperor's dragon body." Concubine Xun wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
The aggrieved and weak appearance made people feel a desire to protect, and even the Queen Mother was moved, and said gently: "The ground is cold, get up." ”
Concubine Xun stood up with the support of the palace maid, and it was only then that Concubine Xun realized that since the year when the emperor favored her, she and the queen mother had been separated to this point.
In the past, the Queen Mother trusted her, but now because the emperor is seriously ill, all the sins have been pushed on her, in the face of the Queen Mother's reprimand, Concubine Xun Shu has a grudge in her heart, but she can't show a little bit on her face, and her humility is even worse.
The queen mother immediately proposed to invite the monks of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple outside the city to enter the palace, chant and pray for blessings, and invite the Taoist priests of the Xuanmiaoguan to come to the Chengde Hall to practice.
