Chapter 168: Destiny Returns
Fortunately, Zhang Weizhao used the needle relatively quickly, so Chen Jianjun's symptoms were quickly relieved. Chen Jianjun was carried back to the East Warm Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace. Because the situation was embarrassing, Zhang Weizhao did not follow the past for treatment.
In Zhang Weizhao's view, Chen Jianjun's symptoms should be a spike in blood pressure caused by violent mood swings, because the treatment was timely and did not bring any uncontrollable results. I think that the imperial doctor will soon rush to the Qianqing Palace, and the follow-up treatment will follow up immediately.
In this case, it means that Chen Jianjun usually has a problem with his blood pressure. Zhang Weizhao carefully recalled Chen Jianjun's past physical appearances, he had a swollen head and headache from time to time, sometimes his hands trembled, his face flushed, and his temper became more and more irritable. These are actually symptoms of high blood pressure.
The reason why Zhang Weizhao did not associate these symptoms with high blood pressure before was because he always felt that it was caused by Chen Jianjun's excessive dosing of pills and his emotional mania. In fact, if you think about it, this is not contradictory, Chen Jianjun's high blood pressure may be the result of overtaking pills and emotional problems.
When the news of the emperor's illness came out, the first people to visit the Qianqing Palace were the Queen Mother and the Crown Prince. Although the Queen Mother hated Chen Jianjun's arbitrariness during this time, she was her own flesh and blood after all, and she was still very distressed when she saw Chen Jianjun sick.
The Queen Mother sat at the head of Chen Jianjun's bed and babbled, "Why is this like this again? "You are also a person in your forties, take care of your body first, and everything else must be put back", at the same time, Chen Youcong stood at the end of the bed, quietly listening to his grandmother and father.
Although Chen Jianjun responded to the Queen Mother in his mouth, his eyes couldn't help but look at Chen Youcong.
Chen Youcong lost a lot of weight, and his cheekbones bulged out. There was a kind of forbearance and calm on his face. Seeing his father looking at him, he also looked at Chen Jianjun, the emotions in his eyes were quite complicated, but there was real concern.
When the Queen Mother's chatter stopped a little. Chen Jianjun suddenly asked Chen Youcong:
"Are you hoping that I will die sooner?"
Chen Youcong was shocked, knelt down with his clothes, and replied simply and directly: "No!" ”
"Why not? Won't I be able to fulfill you if I die? ”
"I don't want you to die. I didn't have a mother for a long time, and I didn't want to be without a father anymore. Chen Youcong replied.
Chen Jianjun's breathing stagnated, and he suddenly covered his face with his hands and sobbed loudly.
"Father! Father! Chen Youcong walked to the head of Chen Jianjun's bed, shook his hand with his hand, and his eyes were full of tears.
The Queen Mother was stunned by their conversation just now, and she wanted to prevent them from discussing this sensitive topic, but before she could react, she saw this scene. The Queen Mother couldn't help but burst into tears.
Chen Jianjun sobbed and continued to ask Chen Youcong, "Do you hate your father?" ”
"Sometimes hate, more is self-blame, see you are bitter in your heart, but I can't help you." Every sentence Chen Youcong answered was his truest feeling.
When Chen Jianjun heard Chen Youcong say this, his heart was even more sad, and he couldn't help crying.
A family of three, crying together.
After a moment, the three of them held back their tears. Chen Jianjun said:
"I won't say anything about the abolition of the prince, my body is not as good as day by day, and many things have to be left to you to do. You will be a more competent emperor than me, and you will do whatever you want. Marry whoever you want. I hope that the suffering I have suffered in this life, you will not suffer again. ”
Chen Youcong nodded tearfully.
"There's just one thing, you must promise me!" Chen Jianjun grabbed Chen Youcong's hand with a trembling hand:
"I have been entangled with the imperial concubine all my life, and if I live, I will let her live well. I'll take her with me when I'm dead. But after I die, don't touch the Jin family! You can ignore them and leave them to fend for themselves, but you don't try to fix them. In the end, it's your father who is sorry for you, and if you want to hate me, hate me! ”
Chen Youcong gritted his teeth and remained silent.
Chen Jianjun was anxious: "The brother and cousin of the imperial concubine are dead, and they have already repaid the evil they have done." The rest of the people, although they do not learn and have no skills, have never committed murder and arson. Don't touch them, it's not me as a monarch commanding you, but as a father begging you! If you don't promise me, I won't be able to turn a blind eye to death! ”
Chen Youcong lowered his head and was silent for a moment, and said, "Okay! I promise you! ”
"You swear to heaven!"
Chen Youcong swore to heaven according to his words.
Chen Jianjun calmed down. He lay back on his pillow, looked at the top of the tent and said, "You're a good boy." But I'm not a good father. ”
"Father!" Chen Youcong called in a low voice, his voice full of sourness.
"I'm not a good son. Nor is it a good husband. ”
"It's my mother who can't stand you! I'm sorry for you! The Queen Mother whimpered, almost speechless.
"I've been living in a mess. became a prince in a daze, became an emperor in a daze, and had a child in a daze. Although I have a child, I have never felt that the child has anything to do with me in my heart. Strange to say, now that my life is coming to an end, I suddenly feel a little bit like a father. ”
"Father, you still have a long time to go, and my son will honor you and his grandmother well in the future. The best days are yet to come. Chen Youcong held one of Chen Jianjun's hands tightly.
Chen Jianjun also held his hand with his backhand: "You don't want to learn from me." Be a good father in the future. ”
"Good! Good! Chen Youcong nodded with tears in his eyes.
"Okay, Queen Mother, Cong'er, I'm tired and want to rest for a while. Take a break, too. Don't guard me anymore. Chen Jianjun said and closed his eyes.
How could the grandparents and grandchildren not follow, Chen Youcong helped the Queen Mother out of the Dongnuan Pavilion. The Queen Mother didn't want to sit in a sedan chair and wanted to walk for a while, so Chen Youcong accompanied her.
The Queen Mother had mixed feelings, on the one hand, Chen Jianjun dispelled the idea of abolishing the prince, and let a big stone in the Queen Mother's heart fall to the ground; On the other hand, Chen Jianjun fell ill again, and what he said just now seemed to be an explanation of the future, which made the Queen Mother very sad.
The ancestors and grandsons slowly walked all the way out of the Qianqing Palace, chatting with Chen Youcong while walking the Queen Mother: "This time it is really thanks to God's blessing." Not sooner or later, just in time for the Taishan landslide in the past few days. Although it was a landslide, no one died. It shows that I have a kind heart and am a person favored by God. When my grandmother went back, she would burn a few more sticks of incense. ”
Chen Youcong only smiled and listened. To be honest, he didn't feel any signs that Heavenly Dao showed him. Before the news of the collapse of Mount Tai reached the imperial court, he did not feel the slightest feeling. So he wondered if it was just a coincidence. Suddenly, his heart moved, maybe the favor of heaven for him had already been revealed? Otherwise, how could Zhang Weizhao be sent to him?
Zhang Weizhao's influence on him permeated many details. For example, if it weren't for her influence, he would still be wearing the mask of a good child and living a depressed and rigid life, so he would definitely not say sincere words such as "sometimes hate, more often self-blame" to Chen Jianjun, but would say some high-sounding words according to the etiquette of his son, then there would not be this heart-to-heart conversation between father and son.
The human heart is really very delicate, and it is a thousand miles away from the slightest mistake, and this is the case.
When Chen Youcong was thinking about Zhang Weizhao, the Queen Mother happened to think of her too. The Queen Mother suddenly stood still, looked at Chen Youcong with sparkling eyes, and said in a low voice: "You say, things are so coincidental, did Ah Zhao use some spell and make some big move to collapse Mount Tai?" ”
When the Queen Mother said this, she had a curious and excited look on her face, not like an old lady in her sixties, but like a little girl.
Chen Youcong looked at her grandmother who still had tears in the corners of her eyes, and became curious like a child at this time, feeling both funny and emotional:
"Where would she have such a spell? Maybe it's true, God willing......" Chen Youcong thinks he is a lucky man.
"She didn't do it, but she knew it beforehand, and that's amazing. Grandmother said, well, the matter of the destiny of the gods is real. ”
When the grandfather and grandson were chatting, Xiangyu, who was not far behind them, stepped forward a few steps forward and whispered to the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, look over there......"
The Queen Mother and Chen Youcong turned around and looked, saw the imperial concubine's sedan chair from a distance, and hurried all the way to the Qianqing Palace.
The Queen Mother snorted coldly: "Leave her alone!" Could it be that she still has the destiny of heaven? ”
The grandparents and grandchildren went straight to Changle Palace.
In the East Warm Pavilion of Qianqing Palace, Jin Ling'er cried all the way into the inner room. Chen Jianjun was half-asleep and half-awake, and was suddenly woken up, but he was not as irritable as before, he said in a low voice:
"Imperial Concubine, are you here? Come, sit down beside me. ”
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" Jin Ling'er wiped her tears and said.
"It's okay. It's just a little dizzy for a while, just lie down. Chen Jianjun comforted.
Jin Ling'er was also heartbroken Chen Jianjun was sick, but she was so anxious now that she couldn't care about it, so she had to ask the questions in her heart first: "Your Majesty, I heard that Mount Tai collapsed?" ”
"Yes. Mount Tai earthquake, the southern foot of the mountain peak collapsed. Now the aftershocks have not disappeared, and half of the Dongyue Temple has collapsed. ”
"Your Majesty, do you believe that this is a warning from heaven to prevent you from abolishing the crown prince?" Jin Ling'er asked anxiously.
Chen Jianjun didn't speak for a long time.
"Your Majesty!" Jin Ling'er shook his arm.
"Providence is so!" Chen Jianjun sighed and said, "Don't fight, people can't fight for the sky." Abolish the prince's edict, I have already ordered people to burn it. ”
"Your Majesty! Do you believe this kind of pretending to be a ghost? The Great Yan is so big, how many things like this earthquake and flood are there not in any year? How can it be related to the abolition of the prince? ”
Chen Jianjun didn't speak.
Jin Ling'er cried angrily: "I can see it!" Your Majesty, you just don't want to abolish the crown prince! What destiny is an excuse. You haven't forgotten Ji Lingyun, right? So always favoring her son! Where can I take care of me! ”
Chen Jianjun said quietly: "Don't worry, I am here, no matter who is the prince, I will be respectful to you." I made him swear that he would not touch the Jin family in a hundred years. He'll do what he says. The glory and wealth of the Jin family will not be less. ”
"If he says he doesn't move, he really doesn't move? Do you believe in him so much? ”
"I believe in him. Although he is stubborn, he is a trustworthy man. ”
Jin Ling'er had nothing to say and cried loudly.
What if Chen Youcong keeps his word? What she wants is not only the temporary wealth of the Jin family, but the long-term glory of illustrious glory.
