The emperor's high fever flare-up in the middle of the night.

I heard Cheng Dehai say that the emperor came to cruise with the four young concubines in the evening, and when he returned to the palace, he was fine, but in the middle of the night, he suddenly had a high fever. When the guards who were keeping watch heard that something was wrong, they immediately called the imperial doctor, and the palace was in chaos.

When Chang'an rushed to go, he saw Yu Meiren, Su Jieyu, Du Cairen and Wang Baolin kneeling under the corridor and crying, among them, Su Jieyu, who had the highest rank, saw Chang'an, and immediately stepped forward on her knees, and before she could speak, her tears fell first, "Queen Mother......"

She only called once, and then choked up and couldn't speak.

Cheng Dehai frowned slightly, and said softly beside Chang'an, "Queen Mother, these four little masters are accompanying the emperor on the cruise tonight, and Concubine De has an order to let the four of them kneel here and think about it." ”

Chang'an knew that Ruohua had a gentle temperament and refused to get angry easily, and this time he severely punished the concubines, it must have happened to the emperor. She felt faintly bad in her heart, and she didn't bother to look at the four of them again, so she said, "Then let them kneel." ”

With that, she walked past the four of them and strode into the hall.

As soon as the palace maids on both sides opened the curtains, Chang'an heard a woman's cry from the hall, she frowned and walked in, but saw Zhou Ruohua kneeling in front of her all of a sudden.

"Queen Mother, the concubine can't find you, I'm going to be frightened, you can be regarded as ...... coming"

Chang'an's heart trembled, she had never seen Zhou Ruohua look so out of shape, and when she looked into the hall again, she saw that several imperial doctors kept going in and out, and her mind was suddenly blank. She barely calmed down and asked aloud, "How is the emperor?" ”

As soon as the emperor was mentioned, Ruohua's tears were like beads with broken threads, falling straight down, "The imperial doctors are all in it now, and the emperor has been groggy all the time, and I don't know if I have woken up yet......"

Chang'an was anxious, and suddenly saw Zhu Zheng walking out of the inner hall, and immediately stepped forward and asked, "Imperial Doctor Zhu, how is the emperor now?" ”

Zhu Zheng was already busy and dizzy, and when he saw Chang'an, he forgot the etiquette for a while, and said in a deep voice, "The emperor has taken medicine and has woken up, but the high fever has not subsided......"

"Can you go in the palace to see the emperor?"

"This ......" Zhu Zheng was half embarrassed and half hesitant, "The emperor has been in a coma for a long time, and the queen mother will ...... when she goes in at this time."

Chang'an could hear the meaning of Zhu Zheng's words, so he no longer insisted on it, and sighed slightly and said, "That's it, the palace will wait outside for a while." ”

She looked at Ruohua and saw that she was still crying, and her heart became more and more annoyed, so she said, "You are also an old man in the palace, the concubine is not there, and under the palace is your most respectable position, what do you look like when you cry?" ”

Ruohua stopped her tears, and Nuo Nuo said, "The concubine obeys the teachings of the queen. ”

Chang'an suppressed the vastness in his heart, and said in a deep voice, "You order, when the emperor can get up, he will leave for the palace immediately, and there can be no delay." There's a shrine here, so go back and rest. ”

Ruohua raised his head in a daze, his lips moved slightly, but he couldn't say anything, and finally just replied "yes" respectfully, and quietly withdrew.

Chang'an exhaled deeply, watching the imperial physician in the inner hall busy coming in and out, his complicated thoughts gradually condensed into a trace of imperceptible tears in his eyes.

"The eldest prince, you can't go in!"

"The Great Prince!"

"Let me go in and see my father!"

Chang'an turned around when he heard the sound, and saw that Yun Ke was blocked by several guards and was not allowed to enter, so he was in a hurry, so he called out loudly, "Yun Ke! ”

As soon as Yun Ke heard Chang'an's voice, he immediately pushed away the guards and walked quickly to Chang'an's side.

Before Chang'an could speak, Yun Ke first asked, "Queen Mother, how is my father?" ”

Chang An sighed, looking at Yun Ke's gradually disappointed face, and his heart was also compassionate, so he had to comfort him, "The emperor is much better, he just woke up." ”

Before Yun Ke could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw Chang'an's sad expression, and said in confusion, "Queen Mother, since your father has woken up, why don't you go in to see your father?" ”

Chang'an frowned slightly, his heart fluctuated, and his tone was a little sad, "The imperial doctor is taking care of it inside, and the queen mother is here first." ”

Yun Ke looked at Chang'an, and the sorrow between his eyebrows grew, "The minister is here to watch the father and the emperor, and the queen mother should go back and rest." ”

Chang An shook his head, "Don't worry, if you want, you will stay here with the queen mother." ”

Yun Ke knew how to bow his head and sat beside Chang'an.

When it was dawn, the hall finally fell silent.

Zhu Zheng came out of the inner hall, and before he had time to catch his breath, he was stopped by Chang'an, and he hurriedly bowed down and bent his knees, "Weichen has seen the queen mother." ”

Chang'an was sluggish and asked bluntly, "How is the emperor?" ”

Zhu Zheng frowned deeply, his gaze inadvertently swept over Yun Ke's face, and said in a low voice, "Queen Mother, please take a step to speak." ”

Chang'an understood, and moved to the cabinet with Zhu Zheng.

As soon as he entered the door, Zhu Zheng couldn't hold back his expression, and said, "Queen Mother, the emperor's illness is menacing, I'm afraid it's not good." The emperor was infected with lung disease in his early years, leaving old diseases, coupled with the war between the DPRK and China in the past two years, his thoughts were too heavy and he became ill, as long as he contracted the cold, he was out of control. ”

Chang'an mourned in his heart, and said calmly, "Then what can the imperial doctor do?" ”

"Wechen has been using heavy medicine to recuperate, just to avoid accidents......" Zhu Zhengwei stared at it, thought for a moment, lowered his eyebrows and said, "I also ask the queen to make a proposal to the emperor and establish a prince as soon as possible." ”

As soon as these words came out, Chang'an's body trembled violently, she staggered back two steps, her complexion was almost as white as transparent, "The emperor's body...... Is it already so bad......"

Zhu Zheng sighed in his heart and arched his hand, "Weichen's medical skills are not good, and he also asked the queen to punish him." ”

Before the words fell, Chang'an's heart trembled.

Zhu Zheng is the best imperial doctor in Dachu, and even if he says so, things must have reached the point where they cannot be turned back.

Chang'an's body was weak and almost fell to the ground, Zhu Zheng stepped forward in time to help her, but heard her hoarse voice say, "This palace knows, you go down first." ”

When Chang'an walked into the emperor's bedroom, it was already past noon.

She came here after a lot of grooming. The vermilion brocade robe, the thin moth eyebrows, the jade hairpin of the peach, and the delicate face of the powder.

When the queen came in, they all bowed and withdrew.

Chang'an walked to Chu Luo and sat down, picked up half a bowl of white porridge and drank it on the side, spoonful by spoonful, and carefully blew it cold and sent it to Chu Luo.

Chu Luo looked at her and smiled unconsciously, "The queen has a heart." ”

He called her "Empress" instead of "Chang'an".

Chang'an's heart was sour, and a thin layer of frost accumulated under his eyes. She gently stirred the white porridge in the bowl and said softly, "Is the emperor better?" ”

"Much better." Chu Luo's voice was a little hoarse, he reached out to shake her slightly cool hand, and frowned unconsciously, "Why is it so cold?" ”

Chang An smiled slightly, withdrew his hand from his palm, and said softly, "The concubine's hands have always been so cold, for more than 20 years, the concubine thinks that the emperor is used to it." ”

Chu Luo shook his head warmly, and after a long time, he suddenly admonished, "You have to pay attention to your body." ”

Chang An wanted to nod, but as soon as he moved, tears flowed out of his eyes uncontrollably.

At this moment, she seemed to suddenly understand that after so many years, the relationship between her and Chu Luo was no longer the vigorous love of her youth, but was replaced by the companionship of middle age. There are so many delicate flowers around him, but she exists by his side, and she plays more of a wife's identity.

The only love, after many years, has become a long-term companionship, but it is just a companionship.

The only one that once held on to it has long been destroyed.

She looked at him as deeply as she had so many years ago. The difference is that many years ago, she looked at him with longing and admiration, but now, there is only a lonely shadow left.

While pondering, Chu Luo suddenly held her hand again, and Chang'an's heart suddenly moved.

"Chang'an, you tell me the truth, they refuse to tell me, you tell me, what is my illness?"

Chang An pursed his lips tightly, tucked the quilt for Chu Luo, and said gently, "Don't worry too much about the emperor, it's just an ordinary wind chill." ”

Chu Luo sighed heavily, and his words were extremely slow, "If you don't tell me, I can guess a rough idea." I know my body. Today, Concubine De came to tell me that she would leave for the palace tomorrow, and if I was not very sick, how could she make such a decision. ”

The sunlight shone into the room through the window, making Chu Luo's face so gloomy, Chang'an choked slightly, thought for a while, and then opened his lips and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine has good news for you." King Gangneung, has been found. ”

Chu Luo's eyes lit up, "Really? ”

Chang An nodded heavily, "Yes." After the prince disappeared from Songshan, he came all the way to Lin'an. ”

Chu Luo was just surprised on his face, and instantly lost again, "It's been so long, he is still alive, but he doesn't let me know, it can be seen that he doesn't want to see me." ”

"Not really." Chang'an lowered his head and thought for a moment, and there was a deep sadness in his voice, "The prince was seriously injured, and he left the camp again, and now he is disabled, and his legs and feet are afraid that they can no longer be like ordinary people." ”

As soon as the words fell, Chang'an saw a heavy pain in Chu Luo's eyes, he sighed deeply, but there was a wisp of extremely painful sadness at the end, "As long as he is alive." It's just Chang'an, is the ninth brother willing to come back to the palace again? ”

Chang'an was silent for a moment, and there was silent sadness in the glimmer of his eyes, "The concubine sent someone to find the prince, and the prince is willing." ”

She deliberately emphasized that she was sending someone to find her, and only erased the fact that she had seen Chu Ying.

Such a change is unintentional.

She was afraid that he would be suspicious, but on the other hand, she was guarding against the changes in her heart.

Finally, she heard him sigh softly and say in a deep voice, "That's fine." ”
