Chapter 162: Getting Better
Yun Shumo did not deliberately conceal his movements, he generously entered and exited the palace, in and out of Emperor Qiyuan's bedroom. γΞγPen Funγ Pavilionγ.γ His actions were like some kind of signal, and the court, which was still chaotic for a while, was temporarily stabilized because of his appearance, and many ministers were restrained in their actions, even those who were secretly cautious, for fear of being caught by King Rui.
In the Chengqian Palace, Yun Shumo sat on a high chair, the white jade teacup on the carved table was empty, and Gonggong Cao picked up the pot and filled it again, but Yun Shumo didn't drink it, his eyes fell on the bright yellow bed curtain, and looked at the Qiyuan Emperor who was lying on the wide dragon bed and kept coughing.
In front of the imperial bed, the imperial doctor trembled and took the pulse of Emperor Qiyuan, and saw that Emperor Qiyuan's pulse was much more stable and powerful than before, and just wanted to take a breath of relief, he heard King Rui ask: "How is Your Majesty's body?" β
King Rui's voice was cold, just like the crisp wine in that winter, which should have made people feel refreshed, but at this moment, the imperial doctor felt extremely cold, and he dared to guarantee that if he didn't answer well this time, then he probably couldn't keep his head.
The imperial physician turned to Yun Shumo in a kneeling position, slammed his head on the ground and said: "Lord Wang, Your Majesty's body is much better than before, and your pulse has also stabilized. β
Yun Shumo looked coldly at the humble imperial doctor, did not speak, and did not make any movements. The imperial doctor felt that King Rui's cold gaze fell on him, and the momentum that was stronger than His Majesty made him tremble, and the cold sweat on his forehead slipped drop by drop, and he couldn't stop it.
The silence in the Chengqian Hall was terrifying, and the Imperial Physician felt that he could hear the sound of his sweat falling to the ground, and the atmosphere was so oppressive that he was a little out of breath. It wasn't until another violent cough came from above the dragon bed that the silence was broken.
As soon as he heard Emperor Qiyuan's cough, Cao Gonggong immediately stepped forward and fed the ginseng soup to Emperor Qiyuan's mouth, and after taking a sip of ginseng soup, his dry throat finally moistened. Emperor Qiyuan drank a few more sips before waving his hand, and smiled at Yun Shumo, "My own body, I understand, Xiaomo don't be angry with the imperial doctor, lest you get angry." β
Yun Shumo saw that Emperor Qiyuan finally had the strength to speak, and his face was much better, although it was not much different from before, but the imperial doctor obviously felt that the pressure on him was much less.
Emperor Qiyuan looked at Yun Shumo's face, smiled, and then waved his hand to the imperial doctor: "You go down first, I don't need you to serve here." β
"Your Majesty, Lord Wang, Weichen retires!" The imperial physician was like a pardon and kowtowed to the two of them again, and then hurriedly walked out of the Chengqian Palace.
Gonggong Cao helped Emperor Qiyuan to sit up, and stuffed cushions behind his back so that Emperor Qiyuan could sit more comfortably. After that, he covered the quilt for Emperor Qiyuan, and tucked the quilt corners. Emperor Qiyuan has been cooperating with Gonggong Cao, and seeing his meticulous movements, he couldn't help but smile again: "Hey, Xiaoyuanzi, fortunately, I still have you by my side, otherwise I don't even have a person who knows cold and heat." β
Hearing this, Gonggong Cao took a few steps back, and said with sincere fear: "Your Majesty, don't say that, it is the duty of a slave to serve you, and it is also the wish of a slave." Xiao Yuanzi in this life, I hope Your Majesty can be well. β
Emperor Qiyuan listened to Gonggong Cao's self-proclaimedness, and the smile in his eyes became even stronger.
Gonggong Cao has been by the side of Emperor Qiyuan since he was a child, and Emperor Qiyuan at that time was only a prince who was not valued by his brother, and at that time, Emperor Qiyuan's mother-in-law concubine was not a queen, but just a favorite concubine in this harem. The queen was jealous of Concubine Iris's favor, so she went to the clean room and picked up Gonggong Cao and placed it next to Emperor Qiyuan for surveillance. At that time, Gonggong Cao was still young, and he didn't understand the filthiness of the harem at all, although Emperor Qiyuan was the master, but the two of them were generally big. Concubine Kite is also a good one, she never treats the servants and maids in her palace harshly, and takes good care of the young Gonggong Cao. Father-in-law Cao was grateful, and he was happy to have a playmate, how could he do anything that harmed Emperor Qiyuan's mother and son.
What is Father-in-law Cao's real name, he himself has long forgotten, the name Xiaoyuanzi is still given by the current Queen Mother, because Father-in-law Cao was round and stupid when he was a child, and he was particularly cute.
After that, there were too many things, and Gonggong Cao almost gave his life several times in order to save Emperor Qiyuan and the Queen Mother, but was rescued by Emperor Qiyuan with all his might. In the heart of Gonggong Cao, he has long regarded Emperor Qiyuan and the Queen Mother as his closest and most respected people.
Yun Shumo looked at the deep affection of the master and servant over there, snorted lightly, lowered his head and took a sip of water in his cup.
Gonggong Cao heard the voice and looked over, and the smile on his lips became even stronger, "Your Highness is unwell?" "In the eyes of Gonggong Cao, His Royal Highness King Rui is still the little one who follows His Majesty, even if he is now in his glory and indifferent.
"It's nothing, I can't see that your master and servant are affectionate." Yun Shumo said, his gaze crossed to Emperor Qiyuan, who was trembling with laughter after hearing his words, and pondered, "The medicine I brought back seems to have some effect, and you are no longer half-dead now." β
Hearing this, Gonggong Cao and Emperor Qiyuan invariably showed a helpless smile. His Royal Highness King Rui has always been so unruly in front of the emperor of the current dynasty, and there is no good sentence in that sentence, but it is very different from the image in ordinary days. However, this kind of Yun Shumo is a lot more vivid, so Emperor Qiyuan never cared about Yun Shumo's attitude towards him, and even connived at it.
This is Xiaomo coquettish with himself, how can he blame it, it's too late to be happy!
Emperor Qiyuan smiled and asked, "Where did Xiaomo's medicine come from?" I heard that you went south, and I was a little happy, if I hadn't fainted from a serious illness, I was afraid that I wouldn't have seen you now. β
Yun Shumo took another sip of tea and said slowly, "What are you going to do when you come back?" Look at your sleek face? Scold. He snorted again, obviously with extreme disdain.
Emperor Qiyuan had no choice but to take his younger brother, he shook his head and didn't plan to fight with him, but said: "My body, the worse it is, if there is another stimulus, I'm afraid I will go directly." Xiaomo, I hope you can accompany me, since you went to the battlefield, the time for you to come back is getting shorter, and it is difficult ......for me and the queen mother to see you."
Emperor Qiyuan's slightly lifeless chatter made Yun Shumo frown. The more he listened to this, the more uncomfortable he became, and finally he couldn't listen to it anymore, so he slammed the cup in his hand on the table, making a heavy noise. With that sound, Emperor Qiyuan's voice stopped abruptly. Yun Shumo stared at him with a gloomy face and half-closed eyes, and said, "Okay, before I find out the truth about Hua Yaozong's affairs, I will definitely not let you die, you can think about it for me, what did you do in those days!" β
Hearing Yun Shumo mention Hua Yaozong, the twilight expression on Emperor Qiyuan's face finally became serious. He looked at Yun Shumo and asked solemnly: "Yun Shumo, you are now forcing an emperor to admit his mistakes, have you ever thought that if you were not my most beloved brother, you would be dead now." β
Emperor Qiyuan's eyes were sharp, and at this moment, the momentum that belonged to the king burst out in an instant, and he pressed straight towards Yun Shumo, without any mercy. As he said, the emperor is the true dragon emperor, he represents the supreme authority, and his words are a holy decree that no one can disobey. What's more, the father is the son, and the king is the minister, which is a law since ancient times. And even if Hua Yaozong is working hard, if he, the emperor, wants his life, it is definitely a matter of one sentence, where does he need any evidence, where does he need to listen to what the people of the world say?
He is the emperor, and his good and evil are not judged by others, nor can anyone provoke and disclose!
And Yun Shumo now stubbornly wants to overturn the case for Hua Yaozong and destroy all the evidence of Hua Yaozong's treason that he gave, which is simply a slap in the face to him, the emperor who gave a death order! If this person wasn't Yun Shumo, then he would already be in a different place at this moment!
Yun Shumo stood up, did not avoid Emperor Qiyuan's gaze, and looked straight over, looking at each other. Emperor Qiyuan saw the firmness and determination in those clear black eyes, and then he listened to Yun Shumo say: "What about the emperor, what about the Son of Heaven?" In the eyes of my Yun Shumo, right is right, wrong is wrong, I Yun Shumo never allow anyone to confuse right with wrong, let alone allow you, the king of a country, to do anything wrong! β
Emperor Qiyuan didn't speak, I don't know if he was angry by Yun Shumo's words, or what, he just looked at him quietly, his eyes were complicated.
Emperor Qiyuan suddenly felt a little tired, he couldn't figure it out, what was the purpose of taking the throne with such a conspiracy and calculation back then?
He couldn't remember, maybe it was too long, maybe everything he insisted on back then had long been forgotten, or maybe he just made a high-sounding excuse for his ambitions......
In short, he was tired now and felt that it was all meaningless.
Yun Shumo took a deep look at the 2 Qiyuan Emperors who had already nested in the quilt, didn't say anything, and walked out of the main hall. Gonggong Cao followed Yun Shumo silently all the way, and he didn't stop until Yun Shumo stopped.
"Your Highness......"
Yun Shumo waved his hand to interrupt him, "I know what you want to say, even if you are bewitched, but the mistake is still committed by him, you don't have to explain it to him." β
Father-in-law Cao's full explanation was blocked in this way, and he smiled bitterly and gave up.
Yun Shumo said again: "You have to keep the medicine bottle I gave you, don't let anyone see it, give him one medicine a day in the bottle." β
"Your Highness, that's the antidote?" Grandpa Cao's eyes widened in surprise.
"Not really." Yun Shumo shook his head and glanced coldly at Gonggong Cao, who was overjoyed, "It's just to temporarily suppress the toxicity, and the antidote needs to be found separately." However, if you remember my words, you must not let the fourth person know! β
"Yes, Your Highness, the minions understand!" Gonggong Cao put away the expression on his face and nodded heavily.
