Chapter 326: Attentive

In the harsh winter, it is even more quiet, and the north wind outside is raging with the night snow, and the people who are whirring and roaring cannot live in peace. Suddenly, a fierce wind blew, and the door slammed into the wall with a "click", startling Huizhu to be sleepy, and a spirit straightened up from the leaning bedpost, turned his head to look at the bed, and saw that Yinzhen had not woken up yet, and his eyebrows estimated that he had calculated the jet lag, and lowered his head to give Yinzhen a good quilt, and then stepped out of the house lightly.

Outside, Xiao Luzi and Xiao Ranzi were napping against the threshold, and when they heard the slight sound of footsteps in the room, they knew who it was, and hurriedly lifted the curtain to welcome them out of the house. Huizhu glanced at the two of them, and said three or four feet in front of them, and the two of them quickly followed, walking on one wall, and while listening to Huizhu's low command: "It's windy again now, add a charcoal basin to it......"

As he spoke, he unconsciously walked into the outer room, and Huizhu said in a slightly louder voice: "The emperor should wake up in almost half an hour, this palace will go to the pharmacy to take a look, you let Su Xin go inside to guard." Xiao Ranzi agreed, Huizhu turned her face to Xiao Luzi again, and said softly: "There are many people here who are on duty at night, so my father-in-law might as well go to the side room with the palace to decoct medicine." Hearing this, Xiao Luzi's heart was shocked, and he forcibly suppressed the urge to raise his head, and bowed quietly behind Huizhu, but secretly hesitated for a while how to answer.

The bright hall of the courtyard is lit up, and the hanging flower door that separates the inner and outer courtyards from the farthest distance is also clearly distinguishable, and you can see the green eaves, the vermilion cornice board, and the golden plum blossom nails from a distance, which are particularly eye-catching in the white and snowy night. Walking on the verandah all the way, the three eye-impacting colors at the gate of the courtyard made Huizhu stop regardless of the cold wind that poured straight into her body, looked at the newly painted far gate, and said abruptly: "It's twenty-three today, and there are seven days to the Spring Festival, you said that the former emperor should be able to recover from his illness Chinese New Year's Eve......"

Xiao Luzi turned his head and wiped his eyes, swallowed back the bitterness in his mouth, and said with a smile: "The emperor is blessed with all the heavens, and he will be healthy before the New Year." Huizhu responded lightly, picked up and walked, and the two of them didn't say anything all the way, but they all knew in their hearts that the New Year's feast, Yinzhen was no matter how weak his body was, and he couldn't be persuaded by them, so he was forced to face a group of princes and courtiers.

After a while, I arrived at the small side room that had just been vacated as a pharmacy. Three or four medicine attendants in the room were guarding a beacon stove and watching the medicine cup, Huizhu sent a few people down, took the fan and sat down on the small stool in front of the stove, stared at the fire on the stove, and said without looking back: "The emperor's affairs have been spread out, and the father-in-law doesn't need to hide it from the palace anymore." ”

Huizhu asked so bluntly that Xiao Luzi finally dispelled the hesitation in his heart and spoke in detail.

Yinzhen's disease has accumulated over time, especially since the summer of last year, first there was Norbu's rebellion against the Qing Dynasty, and then there were fierce battles with Tongbo and Odenchule; Even if the Dzungar Dynasty, which has been at war for many years, does not give up even if it is defeated, there are even rebellions in Yunguang and other places. For this reason, Yinzhen worked hard day and night, unable to sleep at night, Rao could not withstand Huizhu's words and slept in wide clothes, but he often opened his eyes until dawn. In this way, most of the mental energy is consumed, and the body also collapses, so that the qi and blood are in vain.

Listening to Xiao Luzi whimpering, Huizhu only felt that her heart was extremely uncomfortable, she always thought that she had taken care of Yinzhen's food and clothing, but all this was just her assumption! Huizhu took a deep breath, held back her tears, and choked up, "When did the emperor start vomiting blood?" ”

Xiao Luzi was puzzled: "Yes...... The queen died not long ago. Seeing that Huizhu's face stiffened, he hurriedly added: "The first time I coughed up blood, it was the time when the army was surrounded by Dzungaria, and the emperor was angry because of this. But I was afraid that you would be cranky, so I didn't tell you about it. But I didn't expect that there were more and more wars, and the emperor was often angry, and the disease also worsened...... Niang Niang Mo guessed that the emperor thought that warm medicine could be mediated, so he wanted to wait for a year and a half to consolidate the fundamentals, and then tell you, so as not to worry about you, but he didn't want to ......" Before the words were finished, Xiao Luzi couldn't cry.

It turned out to be this time last year, and she thought it would be only a few months ago at most, but she didn't expect that a whole year had passed. Huizhu subconsciously grabbed the handle of the fan, and refuted with a hint of evasion: "It has been ten years since the emperor ascended the throne, which year has there been no rebellion and war, why these two years...... It took two years to ......" is only halfway through, but it is difficult to say a word with shame.

Unaware of Huizhu's thoughts, Xiao Luzi fell into his own emotions, was so angry that he took a sip, and sneered at the cold night: "These things that don't know what to do, one wolf has the ambition of a wolf, and Sichuan, Shaanxi, Tibet and other places have never lived in peace." Although the imperial court is strong, it can use troops every year in the last years of Emperor Daxing (Emperor Kangxi), and the emperor has not stopped in the past ten years of his reign. Niangniang, you see, no matter how brave and good the children of the Eight Banners are, they can't withstand such consumption, how can the emperor be at peace like this? ”

Just as he was talking about the excitement, he suddenly saw Ah Xing running in a hurry, leaning on the doorrail, and gasping breathlessly: "Master, the emperor has woken up, he is fully conscious, and he asked you." Huizhu was so happy that she stood up all of a sudden, and she didn't notice that the fan in her hand fell to the ground, so she stared at A-Xing with both eyes, and asked tiredly, "Did you wake up to your senses?" Isn't it going to be confusing at night? By the way, did you notify the doctor? Is there something to say? ”

Ah Xing stroked her chest, nodded to Huizhu again and again, and only said, "Okay, it's all good!" Hearing this, Huizhu didn't have time to speak out of joy, Xiao Luzi was unabashedly happy for the first time, and shouted first: "Niangniang, the emperor is fine, and he will be fine when he wakes up before dawn." When the words fell, I happened to see the medicine cup "gurgling" tumbling violently, and pointed to the stove again.

Now the person woke up, the medicine was decocted, Huizhu and his party were busy looking for the medicine residue and passed a bowl of soup and medicine, as if there was wind under their feet, and quickly returned to the house. Yin Zhen reluctantly drank two sips, moistened his throat, then waved away his heart, lifted his eyes to look at Huizhu and said, "I'm worried, I'm fine." ”

Half an afternoon, a night's worries, was comforted in these words of less than ten words. Huizhu tilted her head slightly, stopped her tears, and said with a smile: "The emperor woke up coincidentally, this medicinal soup has just been fried." As he spoke, he took out the medicine bowl from the tea tray held by Xiaojuan, walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, and fed Yinzhen the glazed porcelain spoon in his hand one by one.

After using the medicine, Yinzhen soothed and said the conversation, and was a little tired, so he said: "It's almost five watches, you haven't slept all night, go back to your room to rest." Huizhu only smiled and nodded but didn't leave, how Yinzhen didn't know her, it was useless to persuade her, it can be seen that the black green under her eyes, her face was pale, her eyes flashed a touch of distress very quickly, but her tone remained unchanged at all: "You are here for all things, let people carry an arhat bed over, and you can rest there." ”

The palace people were neat, and after a while, they removed a large cabinet and put the rosewood five-screen robe bed in place. In this regard, Huizhu waits for the sick every night and takes care of her during the day, and everything is done without the hands of others. If so, after a few days, Yin Chen's body gradually became more complex, and he could barely support some hours on Chinese New Year's Eve, and people at the palace banquet could not see that he was sick.

However, although Yinzhen's body is gradually recovering, he can't stand the fatigue, and the etiquette and customs on the New Year's Festival can't be taken care of, so he had to lift Hongli's grounding in advance and take care of everything on his behalf. And this move fell in the eyes of the court workers, so it was explained again.

The winter solstice Liu family passed out the happy pulse, which was undoubtedly a great news falling, breaking the scene of one person in the harem. But after only a few days of happiness, news came: Liu had no other reward except for being promoted on the day of his joy, and even let Yinzhen be grounded in disguise. Then, a few days later, it was the New Year, and Yinzhen ordered Hongli to be worthy of the great responsibility, and saluted on behalf of the Son of Heaven, but he was hidden behind him.

These two things happened one after another, which made everyone have to put away the crooked intestines in their abdomen, see the facts in front of them, and couldn't help but sigh that they were indeed too early to get excited. In this harem, even if you have a new favorite and are pregnant with a dragon heir, what about it? The pattern in the palace has not been broken, Huizhu has become the leader of the palace, and she is in charge of the six palaces, and seems to be more and more favored by Yinzhen, plus an adult emperor's eldest son, her status is not shakeable by others.

The new favorite was happy but ended up like this, and the nobles who were active suddenly woke up, and no longer thought about sending their daughters to the palace to strengthen the connection with the royal family, but set their eyes on Yinzhen's only two princes, especially the fourth elder brother Hongli.

This movement was loud, and some rumors also faintly reached Huizhu's ears, and in private, he couldn't help but bury himself: "The war on the border has just been settled, and all kinds of ruins are waiting to be revived!" didn't put his mind on that, but it fell on the two boys. His brothers don't have any titles, and there are many Baylors, princes, and county kings in the clan, so they don't go to see them. After hearing this, Su Xin couldn't help but laugh and said: "A family of men and hundreds of women fight, but it is a good thing that cannot be sought, how can the master treat it as a flood beast." After saying that, the master and servant only complained and laughed, and then left it alone.

But as the saying goes, "the speaker has no intention and the listener has the intention", a seat was listened to by Yinzhen, who had just woken up, and thought about it for two days, and then waited for the first month to come out, that is, he issued a holy decree, respectively, named Hongli as Prince Bao, Hongli as Prince He, and named Hongli to participate in important military affairs.

Huizhu then learned that she was slightly taken aback, she didn't know anything about Jin Feng beforehand, but after thinking about it, Yinzhen has never liked the affairs of the harem involving the court. So he didn't ask much, only said a word or two in front of him, and then he focused on Yinzhen's body in everything, and rarely left every day.

In this way, the hard work pays off, and in April when the acacia flowers are full of branches, Yinzhen's body is finally healed.
