"If the emperor doesn't say it, how can those ministers know?" Sun Qingyang smiled and got into his arms, and poked his left hand twice at his heart, the force was neither light nor heavy, but it seemed to poke into his heart.

"Emperor, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and tomorrow, when the New Year comes, will the concubines ask you for a reward?" Sun Qingyang sat up slowly, asking cautiously, his face full of anticipation, and a little nervous for fear of rejection.

Zhu Zhanji laughed, when did he refuse her? She wants to get away with it so much, but it's just to hook herself up.

Although every night, when he smells the fragrance on Guo Ai's body, his spirit can be better day by day, but day after day, that smell makes him more and more addicted, and if he doesn't smell it for a day, he will feel upset, which makes him vigilant.

And only in Sun Qingyang's place can he find that feeling of familiarity and peace of mind.

"What reward does the queen want? Speak and listen to me, and I will consider it as appropriate. Zhu Zhanji's big hand wrapped Sun Qingyang in his arms again.

"After the first month, it is spring, the concubine likes peonies, and has always wanted to draw a picture of the four seasons of peonies, but the imperial garden is too far away from the concubine's bedroom...... The emperor's Qianqing Palace is close, and the concubines want to paint with you. The more Sun Qingyang spoke, the quieter his voice became, and finally he lowered his head, and his fingers swiped lightly on Zhu Zhanji's chest, losing his initial righteousness.

This means that I want to live in the Qianqing Palace for a long time.

"Haha, it turns out that Qing Yang wants to accompany Jun for a long time, and he will not be separated from me all the time." Zhu Zhanji laughed heartily, kissed her lightly in the center of her eyebrows, and her eyebrows and eyes were full of pampering, which seemed to be old and good wine, which made people involuntarily indulge in it.

Sun Qingyang rarely has such a little daughter's attitude, and when she shows it occasionally, it always makes Zhu Zhanji happy.

Although they can be regarded as old husbands and wives now, such lingering compassion and wanting to refuse and welcome are also the interest between husband and wife.

Although because Zhu Zhanji's body is still recovering, the two just hug each other, but the shadow of the red candle window can't hide the spring light in the room.

Zhu Zhanji naturally didn't notice the faint color that Sun Qing raised his eyebrows.

No matter how strong his spirit looks, Zhu Zhanji's previously strong and tight skin has become skinny and skinny, as thin as firewood, and all the bones are protruding, leaving only a layer of skin wrapped outside, tentacles his former thick chest, all of which are bones, and his life hurts.

Although some imperial doctors optimistically said that the emperor's physical recovery was just around the corner, Sun Qingyang remembered what Huoxiang said at this time: The emperor's body, optimistically, is one or two months. Not optimistic, I'm afraid it's just a few days.

The incense on Guo Jieyu's body only has the effect of lifting the spirit and delaying the attack, and there is no cure at all.

Even, if you smell it for a long time, you will become addicted, and after a long time, you will suffer from it.

He must have also listened to what Huoxiang said, and he didn't summon Guo Jieyu to come over these nights, right?

A chill slipped through Sun Qingyang's heart, soaking through the coldness of his bones.

She hugged Zhu Zhanji tightly, as if she wanted to integrate him into her body, as if that would make the warmth never separate.

In the tenth year of Xuande, on the first day of the first month, Zhu Zhanji feasted the ministers in the court, and when the monarchs and ministers were happy, he suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.

On this day of the first day of the Lunar New Year, he fell into a coma.

Sun Qingyang was beside him day and night to take care of and wait. Only when the prince comes over can he pull her to force her to rest for a while.

On the second day, after Zhu Zhanji woke up, he looked at Sun Qingyang's complexion was very bad, and his eyes were still doting on the past, and he said softly: "Qingyang, why did I sleep and you lost weight again?" โ€

Sun Qingyang shook his head vigorously, took a hard breath and forced out a smile, "No." It's just that on Chinese New Year's Eve, I ate too well with the emperor, accumulated food, and I couldn't eat much in the past two days. After two days, eat a little more and raise it back. Your Majesty, don't worry about your concubines, you have to take good care of your body and get better soon, if you're well, your concubines will be fine. โ€

As she spoke, her tears swirled in her eyes, and she only tilted her head, trying not to fall, for fear that it would make Zhu Zhanji sad.

Zhu Zhanji was very weak, but his voice was still soft: "Silly girl, haven't you said that there are people in this world who can live forever?" People will inevitably die, this is the reincarnation of heaven, no matter who it is, they can't escape. Don't be sad, I'll be fine. You go out. Call the Queen Mother and the Prince in. I have something to say to them. โ€

As soon as he said that it was okay, he hooked Sun Qingyang's tears out, hugged him, and cried sadly.

Outside, several imperial doctors were whispering to the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, it's time to make some preparations." Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's just these two days. โ€

Although there is a queen, everyone knows that it is the emperor, and he often discusses political affairs with the queen mother. Even the crown prince was raised in front of the queen mother, and he was not intimate with the queen, so he had to prepare news for the future, and he still had to learn about the queen mother.

Fortunately, the emperor is only a prince, and the crown prince will be established after a hundred days, and there is no such thing as competing for the throne, and the government and the opposition all understand. Earlier, the emperor came back from patrolling the border and fell ill, and everyone was ready for the emperor's big trip, but now although it has been delayed for half a month, he also knows that this time, the emperor is afraid that he will be sad again, no matter how sad he is, just wait for the news.

The queen mother ordered to go down, and all the emperor's and grandson clans came to wait, called the names of some important ministers, and after ordering a bunch of things, Fang led the prince into the inner room. As soon as she entered the palace, the Queen Mother saw Sun Qingyang hugging Zhu Zhanji, crying so sadly.

The Queen Mother thought about the words of the imperial doctors, her eyes were gloomy, but she still held her spirits and shouted: "You are like this, don't you make the emperor anxious, and you messed up first, what will you become?" โ€

Zhu Zhanji saw that the Queen Mother came in with the crown prince, so he asked Sun Qingyang to go out first for the time being. He has something to tell the Queen Mother and the Crown Prince. Sun Qingyang knew that this was to let her avoid suspicion, and the concubine was not allowed to interfere in the ancestral training of the court, and he was going to complete the final handover procedures with the queen mother and the crown prince.

Although she was sad in her heart, she walked out obediently.

Zhu Zhanji looked at the Queen Mother and said calmly: "Queen Mother, the child is not filial, and I can't give you a good day." โ€

The queen mother, who has always been strong, couldn't help crying when she heard him say this, "The emperor has been both civil and military since he was a child, and he has strong muscles and bones, how can he be dragged down by such a small illness?" Don't say anything discouraged, I'll raise it for a few days, and it will be fine. โ€

Zhu Zhanji coughed lightly twice, "My body knows best, Queen Mother, you are not an ordinary ignorant woman and child, why do you say something to deceive yourself?" โ€

He looked at his son, who was just over eight years old, looked at him with an ignorant look, and smiled bitterly, "I don't have many days left. Qi Zhen, the Ming Dynasty will be handed over to you. You must take good care of the inheritance passed down from your ancestors, and do not lose the reputation of your ancestors. Otherwise, after a hundred years, I will not spare you. โ€

The Queen Mother hurriedly pulled the prince to kneel in front of him and taught him to solemnly swear: "Father, don't worry, the sons will be diligent in political affairs, and they will never embarrass you and your ancestors." โ€

Zhu Zhanji nodded, "Okay, your imperial grandmother has many years of experience in running government affairs, and she will help you deal with national affairs, and I don't worry, as long as you don't listen to and believe in flatterers, far villains, and pro-virtuous ministers, I believe that you can protect this Ming Dynasty well." Here, I have something to tell you. You must listen well and memorize it. Don't forget. โ€

Although the crown prince was young, he also understood that this was the important thing his father said, looking at his father's pale and thin body, his heart suddenly overflowed with a burst of sour and bitterness, and he sobbed: "Father, you say." Son-in-law listened. Father, you said that the sons and daughters will keep it in mind. โ€

Zhu Zhanji sighed and said: "In the past, your imperial grandfather went from the position of the crown prince to the king, and he honed for nearly 20 years. After ascending the throne, although ambitious, like your grandfather, I was able to listen to the opinions of my subordinates. โ€

"Although I am not a perfect king, but I am also a qualified emperor, in addition to like hunting, food, fighting and weaving, I know how to be lenient with the people, pay attention to the people's suffering, exempt from taxes, pay for the soldiers, withdraw the soldiers, since the founding of the country for more than 60 years, the people's morale has gradually relaxed, there is a sign of peace, the relationship between the monarch and the minister is harmonious, and the economy has developed steadily. On this basis, you only need to be a king of success, and there will be no big things. โ€

"It's just a pity that you are too young to really participate in state affairs, fortunately, your imperial grandmother shared weal and woe with your grandfather before, and she had a lot of insight in political affairs, even for her father, and often consulted her, only you have to understand that as a monarch, you must endure what ordinary people can't bear. Because you have been made a prince since you were a child, you are too arrogant and impetuous, you must remember in the future, you must try to grind as much as possible, round on the outside and square on the inside, which is the appearance of the king. โ€

Looking at the prince's appearance of understanding or not, Zhu Zhanji understood that his long remarks were probably not heard much to the prince who was less than nine years old, so he had to advise again: "In short, it is right to listen to your imperial grandmother more for politics and learn from your queen mother." Just remember, don't be hasty and patient in everything, take the overall situation into account, and don't be overwhelmed by small things. โ€

After the prince nodded solemnly, he repeated what he said about not being hasty and patient in everything, taking into account the overall situation, not to lose a big one because of a small loss, and repeating the words of being ambitious, Zhu Zhanji looked at the Queen Mother again.

"Queen Mother, I still have something to tell you, I am not only a prince in Qizhen, but also a son who is a few months younger than him, raised outside the palace, named Zhu Qiyu, Qingyang knows this, and after I leave, I also ask the queen mother to take the emperor as the heir and take their mother and son into the palace."
