Chapter 332: First Snow
was about to follow the messenger into the palace, Qinglan was holding a fur collar cloak behind the back.
"Miss, it's too cold at night, put this on. ”
Sister Yan stood still and asked her to put on her coat, "Uncle Hua, they have worked hard all the way, let them rest a few more envoys in the morning, and prepare to eat and send them over." ”
"Yes. ”
"Let's go. ”
Qinglan stood at the door, watching her stride towards the wind, only to realize that she had forgotten to bring her sword.
The young lady has developed the habit of practicing swords in the morning for several years, and I am afraid that she will have to change it in the future, and she can't sleep when she thinks about it.
Among the things I sent by myself, I found some bacon and cured chicken from my hometown and sent them to the kitchen.
Explain to the cook who has just gotten up, "Boil these soups, warm them on a small stove after boiling, and send them when they come back." ”
When the emperor's cronies ordered, they were naturally unwilling to slack off, and agreed repeatedly, "Yes, yes." ”
After the order was finished, he didn't sleep anymore, and simply went to deal with the things that the young lady explained, so as not to ask the young lady and not finish it.
Sister Yan and Tian Shen met at the gate, and the two thought that the carriage was too slow, so they simply asked people to move their mounts, "Let's go first, you follow." ”
The two of them faced the wind, the sound of horses' hooves echoing through the empty streets, and their cloaks fluttering.
When they arrived at the palace gate, the two dismounted and entered the palace directly, the two of them had fast feet and urgent matters, and the entourage could not keep up.
The matter is urgent, the emperor is unconscious, and it is not appropriate to move, so the queen and others are still guarding in the beauty palace.
The two of them walked into the main hall, the cold wind outside was biting, but the inside of the hall was warm as spring, and the incense was mixed with a strange smell, mixed with heat, full of obscene smell.
There was still residual wine in the outer hall, and the two frowned slightly, and walked into the inner hall, where the queen was guarding by the bedside, and a disheveled woman knelt on one side, pressed to the ground by the grandmother.
Seeing the two of them coming in, the woman was busy begging the emperor for mercy, the queen glanced over, and the grandmother hurriedly covered her mouth, not wanting her to be too noisy.
When I walked to the bedside, I saw that the emperor had his eyes closed, asleep, frowning slightly, and seemed to be very unstable, his increasingly pale hair, somewhat messily spread on the pillow, his face was yellow, and he looked very much like an old man with little time.
"The emperor also saw that His Majesty was right, and the palace thought it was not appropriate to make a noise at this time, what does the emperor think?"
Since the identity of the two emperors was exposed, they have nothing to do with the queen, and the queen thinks about the dealings she has had before, and then thinks about everyone's position now, she is always a little uncomfortable.
Sister Yan didn't bother to think about these grievances, "It's really not appropriate to make a noise, what did the imperial doctor say after reading it?"
"The imperial doctor said that His Majesty's body is very weak, and he is very empty, and he needs to recuperate, and it is not suitable to work. ”
Hearing this, the two sisters frowned and called Father-in-law Xu, "Father-in-law Xu, didn't Your Majesty take the medicine prescribed by the divine doctor?"
"If you go back to the emperor, Your Majesty will take it every day. ”
Tian Shen said, "Then why is the condition aggravated, the divine doctor opened a pharmacy to recuperate the body, although it is estimated that His Majesty has the ability to bear the body, and there is no heavy medicine, but after recuperating for so many days, there will always be improvement, not a coma." ”
The queen said on the side, "Maybe we overestimate the miracle doctor, her medical skills are not that good at all, and besides, she has not given His Majesty a follow-up examination for so long, and she has not adjusted the prescription." ”
The two didn't bother to argue with her about Qingyue's medical skills, but looked at Gonggong Xu.
Gonggong Xu sighed and said, "Your Majesty often has unbearable headaches, in the past, when the old national teacher was here, he only took a pill of that kind of pain-relieving pill every three or five days, since the Ten Princes poisoned His Majesty, His Majesty's headache has intensified, and the effect of the divine doctor is slow and not very effective,
His Majesty asked the Void Dao Chief to open a furnace for him to alchemy, His Majesty became dependent on the pills, and the frequency of taking them became higher and higher, and he thought about it a lot recently, and the headaches became more and more frequent, and he took more pills, and he had to take three or four pills a day, and I don't know if it was the reason. ”
The queen said angrily, "It's so abnormal, why didn't you tell the palace earlier." After a pause, "He Emperor, if something happens to Your Majesty, can you hold it?"
"Your Majesty is too painful, Concubine Qiong Niangniang has also persuaded her before, but there have been a lot of things recently, as long as Your Majesty has thought about it, you will have a headache, so you can only use pills to resist. ”
said that she didn't care, but the queen was still very unhappy when she heard it, "Concubine Qiong also knows?"
Father-in-law Xu knew that he was speechless, and he didn't answer.
Sister Yan asked, "Have you explained anything?"
"Like the old national teacher, he said that he could only take one pill in three days, and he also said that the pill was not the right way after all, and he couldn't rely too much on it. ”
The two of them also felt helpless when they heard it, it seems that His Majesty's willpower is still much weaker than imagined, but there are a few people who can hold back the illusory hope in front of them.
Tian Shen said, "It seems that the pill is beyond Your Majesty's load, and the medicinal properties of Qingyue's medicine have been suppressed, Your Majesty has not absorbed it, and your body has been consumed day by day." ”
The Imperial Doctor, who was kneeling beside him, nodded in agreement.
Sister Yan Chang let out a sigh of relief and suppressed her irritability, "It seems that I can only make up for it slowly, but Your Majesty doesn't listen to the doctor's advice like this, and no one can save him." ”
Tian Shen said, "The imperial doctor will prescribe medicine." ”
The imperial doctor opened the pharmacy and said to the queen, "Your Majesty's coma is not only because of the medicine, but also partly because of overwork, and I also ask the mother to advise Your Majesty not to get close to women in the near future." ”
In fact, what Gonggong Xu didn't say was that His Majesty's health was not as good as before, and when he pampered the beauty, he would use some medicine to help the fun, and the doctor would diagnose the pulse, so he naturally knew it.
During these days, there is an emperor Zhang Luo for big and small affairs, and His Majesty has not worked hard, since this is not the case, it is working elsewhere.
The queen looked at the gauze tent in front of her, endured it, and said, "The palace knows, you go down first, tonight's matter, only say that Your Majesty has a cold, and other things must not be passed on." ”
"Yes. ”
Glancing at the beauty on the ground, he said in disgust, "Pull her out and interrogate her to see if she has done anything." ”
The palace people quickly dragged people out.
The queen said, "Just say to the outside world that Your Majesty has a cold, and the emperor has to worry about other things." ”
"Hmm. ”
"It's better for the emperor to live in the palace of the emperor, it's more convenient to preside over affairs. ”
Tian Shen said, "It's still not for the time being, as soon as we move in, it means that the situation has been serious to the point that we want to stay in the palace to preside over the government, and now the people's hearts are still unstable and can't shake the people's hearts." ”
"It's okay, this palace has something I want to ask. ”
Sister Yan glanced at her, "Niangniang, if you have something, just ask, you are the mother of a country, if you can say it, we will definitely not hide it." ”
"Is this war inevitable? ”
The two looked at each other and nodded solemnly.
Now the queen has a bottom in her heart, and the matter is indeed very serious.
Whether it is as a queen or as a member of the Chu State, when the country is in danger, she must fight for the country, and in public and private, the queen must help Her Majesty stabilize the front of the harem and protect the people of the mountains and rivers of Chu.
"This palace knows, the palace will be handed over to this palace, even if it makes Your Majesty unhappy, this palace can watch Your Majesty take medicine to recuperate, Your Majesty's situation is not good, this palace will trust you, and guard the rivers and people of Dachu. ”
I didn't expect the queen to be arrogant, no matter how many tricks and calculations there are, at least in terms of attitude towards foreign enemies, the queen is very competent.
The two of them are not good at words, even at this time, they don't know what to say, so they can only respond seriously, "Hmm." ”
The emperor is still in a coma, and even if he wakes up, he can't preside over affairs for a while, and the outside affairs can only be carried by the two of them.
When they came out again, it was already dawn.
In the early morning of winter, facing the wind is still like a small knife cutting through people's flesh.
The burden on their bodies was very heavy, but the two of them could only straighten their waists and walk forward with their chests held high.
In the cold wind, the entourage still followed from a distance, Tian Shen stretched out his hand, took his sister's slightly cool left hand, and held it tightly.
Sister Yan glanced at him sideways, did not speak, and let him lead him.
She knows what he's going to say, don't worry, I'll always be there for you, no matter what, we'll bear it together.
As I walked, I felt a little cold on my face, and when I looked up, I saw that this year's snow had come so early.
Tian Shen stretched out his other hand to help her put on the hat on her cloak, because of him, her sister's face was a rare gentle color.
The cold wind does not know the end, the snow falls on the endless earth, the world is vast, but you are by my side.
Let's just move forward.
Walking into the palace gate, the two tacitly let go of their hands and regained their confident and majestic appearance.
The guards guarding the palace gate saluted them with great awe.
The two of them ignored the severe cold, rode back to their homes, the nobles in the capital like to take a carriage when they go out, and the two people who are extremely noble like to go out on horseback, only on the horse, facing the wind, the two will not forget their original appearance.
A day later, the emperor awoke, but he was too weak to speak.
It snowed in Beijing for half a day, and a city was buried in the snow, covering the hustle and bustle of the past, which made people's hearts suddenly calm down.
King Jun and Xie Ling were also trying their best to investigate, and with the power of the two of them, plus some of the forces of the Emperor's Mansion, they also found a lot of clues in one day.
Xie Ling determined that there was still a part of Lian Jin's forces in Beijing, and this force had a lot of influence.
It was difficult for them not to attract the attention of some people with such a big move, but the emperor couldn't take care of these now, so Xie Ling no longer held back.
After checking and checking, I still felt that the criminal department was very suspicious, so I simply dug it down.
Everyone thought that the Shangshu of the Criminal Department had offended the Xie family, first the emperor humiliated him under the pretext of humiliating him, and now that His Majesty is sick, Xie Ling is looking for an opportunity to take revenge.
I didn't want to publicize this matter, but someone made an excuse, and Xie Ling was happy to be simple, so he didn't clarify.
It was spread ruthlessly, and many people took it seriously.
It is rumored everywhere that the Xie family is not like talking, in order to vent personal anger, abuse power, and take advantage of His Majesty's inability to take care of the government, he will do nonsense, and the Xie family has such a descendant, which is really insulting.
There are even more people with a heart, alluding to the sister's willfulness, covering up her own family, not worthy of her position, and stirring up trouble everywhere.
But this time, few people dared to slander Sister Xie, didn't they look for their own death?
The emperor is no longer good, there is no prince, and the emperor is naturally the emperor with full authority to act as the political officer.
