Early the next morning, after they had freshened up, the palace people brought breakfast as usual.

The emperor's food was a bowl of millet porridge.

The rice porridge was boiled until it was soft and melted in the mouth, but after all, the emperor had been in a coma for too long, and it was extremely troublesome to feed, and sometimes it took an hour for a bowl of porridge to reach the bottom.

The palace people are also reluctant to do this kind of meticulous work, after all, when feeding, a little carelessness can make the emperor choke, once the emperor really has three longs and two shortcomings, they can't afford it!

After Wen Yue finished feeding the emperor, she sat down at the dining table with Wen Xun'er, and when they finished their breakfast, the decoction was also served.

The emperor's medicine needs to be drunk twice a day, that is, the matter of needle pricking must be done twice a day.

Concubine Yue glanced at Wen Xun'er, and then took the medicine bowl and entered the house.

The person in charge of delivering the medicine is Mama Xia in the queen's palace, when Concubine Yue was not there before, he was in charge of the emperor's decoction, but now that Concubine Yue is here, she just watches the emperor take it.

After taking the medicine, the imperial doctor came to check the pulse of peace as usual, and the entire hall was quiet.

Wen Xun'er carried the silver needle in her arms and went to the emperor's bed.

It doesn't take too long to bleed the ten fingers, and the main thing is to find the acupuncture points.

Bicao watched people outside, and Concubine Yue guarded the door of the inner hall just in case, after half an hour had passed, Wen Xun'er was tired and sweating, and the emperor's bloodletting was finally over.

"The Queen Mother has arrived!"

As soon as she finished collecting the silver needle, she suddenly heard the voice of the palace people outside, and Bicao hurriedly ran into the inner hall: "Niangniang, it's not good, the queen is here!" ”

Concubine Yue had already heard the rumors outside.

She hurriedly came to the bed, but she was surprised: "Why is the emperor ......?"

The emperor, who had just bled out, actually sweated.

"It's too late!" Wen Xun'er couldn't explain it at this time, so she hurriedly took a handkerchief and wiped it on the emperor's head and looked at Concubine Yue.

Concubine Yue also reacted very quickly, and immediately put down the bed curtain, and as soon as the two of them did this, there was movement outside, and the queen entered the palace.

"Say hello to the queen!"

Bicao hurriedly saluted outside.

The queen swept the inner hall: "What about Concubine Yue?" ”

"Sister, but you're looking for me?" Concubine Yue came out of the inner hall with a smile, saluted her, and then looked at her face, "I haven't seen you for a few days, my sister's complexion seems to be much better!" ”

The queen looked her up and down for a moment, and sneered: "Compared to Concubine Yue, this palace is not as good as sighing!" ”

Her eyes fell on Wen Xun'er behind Concubine Yue, and she smiled again: "Miss Wen is also there?" ”

"Say hello to the queen!" Wen Xun'er replied after saluting, "Xun'er is okay after all, I'm afraid that my aunt won't have anyone to talk to, so I will accompany my aunt!" ”

When the words fell, she looked at the person beside the queen: "It turns out that Miss Li is also there!" ”

Li Yunni followed behind the queen, a proper little daughter-in-law, seeing Wen Xun'er greeting her, she hurriedly stepped forward, and said after seeing Concubine Yue: "I happened to greet the queen mother today, so I came to see the emperor with the queen mother!" ”

"Your Majesty is fine! Look! ”

She turned to enter, and when she reached the dragon bed, she opened half of the curtain.

The queen looked at the person in the bed, and there was no big expression on her face, but when she approached, Concubine Yue suddenly put down the bed curtain: "Sister can have breakfast?" Do you want my sister to send someone to bring in some breakfast? ”

"You don't have to, you can use it when you come."

She crossed Concubine Yue, and was about to lift the curtain, but Concubine Yue said in a weird manner: "Just see it, there are no outsiders here, there is no need for my sister to act!" ”

"Concubine Yue, what do you mean?" The queen lifted the curtain for a moment, and her gaze at her became faintly displeased.

Wen Yue leaned on the edge of the collapse to look at her, and played the disrespectful to the extreme: "I have been here for a few days, and my sister is here today, I don't know, I thought that the person lying on the couch was not the lord of the world!" ”

She bit the "lord of the world", which was clearly a satire on the queen's party.

Sure enough, the queen's face immediately became gloomy: "Since you know that it is the lord of the world lying on this couch, you should know that you are nothing now!" This palace only lets you serve here for the sake of the emperor's face, otherwise, where are you qualified to enter this Yuehua Palace? ”

"You ......" Concubine Yue immediately looked like she was going crazy, and then, with a sudden turn, she lifted the curtain and threw herself directly towards the emperor on the couch, "Your Majesty, did you hear that?" If you don't wake up again, there will be no place for concubines in this harem! ”

She cried up and down, and the appearance of holding the emperor completely blocked the queen's sight.

She saw the emperor's sleeping face, and was about to take a closer look, but on the side, Li Yunni suddenly pulled the queen's sleeve: "Auntie......"

The people in the entire harem knew that Concubine Yue lived in Yuehua Palace, and it would not be a good thing if her crying voice came out.

The queen's eyebrows flashed with a touch of disgust, and she said to Concubine Yue in a gentle tone: "Okay, this palace knows that you have a meritorious role in taking care of the emperor, you can rest assured, when the emperor wakes up, this palace will say good things for you!" ”

She glanced at the emperor through Concubine Yue's shoulder again, and then turned around: "Go back to the palace!" ”

When the group was far away, Concubine Yue collapsed and sat on the ground.

Wen Xun'er hurriedly stepped forward, only to see that the emperor's clothes were all soaked with sweat, and his sideburns were also wet, but the sweat that had wiped his head just now was not obvious, and he could only find it if he looked closely.

These are secondary.

The eye of the needle that had just been pierced was still dripping with blood at this time, and if the queen had a close examination just now, she would have been able to find the emperor's abnormality!

Thinking of this, Wen Xun'er remembered Li Yunni's eyes when she left just now, and guessed that she should be the rescuer invited by Gu Yunzhi, otherwise how could the queen cry with Concubine Yue without carefully checking the emperor's situation!

Anyway, fortunately, there is no danger!

"Alright, all stand down!" Ordering the palace people to go out, Wen Xun'er helped Concubine Yue up, "Auntie, can you write down my technique?" ”

Concubine Yue wiped the corners of her eyes, returned to her usual appearance, and nodded.

"Are you afraid?"

Wen Xun'er nodded: "There are many changes in the palace now, it is difficult to guarantee what will happen in the next moment, if I can't get out of my body for a while, my aunt can also do it!" ”

Concubine Yue nodded: "Don't worry." ”

Unlike Wen Xun'er, she has been in the palace for many years, and she has a foundation in embroidery, and her hand holding a needle can be very stable.

For three days, after they bleed the emperor every day, the emperor's face slowly improved.

Concubine Yue was happy in her heart, and she served the emperor more and more attentively.

And the imperial doctor who came to check the pulse every day didn't know if it was settled by Gu Yunzhi, anyway, after checking the pulse every day, he opened the curtain and glanced at the emperor's face and went out with the medicine box, and there was nothing else to say, naturally, there was no bad news coming from outside.

After a few days of peace and quiet, Wen Xun'er had nothing to do on this day, teasing the parrot under the porch, and happened to see a few palace people gossiping on the other side.

"Did you hear that? This time, the rebels are coming in a rage, and they have already occupied several towns outside the city one after another! ”

Wen Xun'er's eyelids jumped, and she approached the root of the wall.

"It's not just outside the city! Since the emperor's accident, there are all kinds of rumors outside, especially during this time, there is news about the emperor being unconscious directly to the ears of the rural people, and it has been spread ten or ten hundreds, and those who have antipathy have long been unable to hold back, especially our Great Yan Country has always been rampant with bandits, and the emperor tried his best to recruit peace when he was there, giving these bandits the benefits, and now that the emperor has an accident, officials around the country have begun to lazy politics, and those bandits have lost their benefits and naturally started to make trouble again, just wait for someone to provoke the head! ”

"Yes, if there is a voice that is reversed, it must not be a response!"

"But no, so, if the emperor doesn't wake up again, something will really happen!"

"Something's wrong! Have an accident! ”

The parrot suddenly spoke and shouted loudly, which startled the souls of those palace people and scattered in a hurry.

Wen Xun'er came out of the root of the wall, hurriedly rushed into the hall, and told Concubine Yue the good news.

"Really?"

"It's true, what the palace people outside said just now! If even the palace people in the palace know about this matter, it is not a trivial matter! ”

She remembered that Xiao Jiwei said before that the eldest prince was about to be so busy that her feet did not touch the ground, and she estimated that this was the matter she was referring to.

Once the eldest prince is lacking in skills, they are the best time!

*

On the other side, Sude Palace.

After listening to the report of his subordinates, the eldest prince was so angry that he directly smashed the cup in his hand!

"These damn bandits! actually took advantage of this time to rebel, they really played a good wishful thinking! ”

"Your Highness, the top priority is to quickly quell the rebellion! Although the rebels outside the city have a garrison for the time being, and they can't set off any strong winds and waves for a while, if the situation is allowed to develop like this, it will be more difficult to control, and then not only will the situation be unstable, but the entire Great Yan Country will fall into a plate of scattered sand! ”

Gu Qiang slapped the table hard, and his face turned blue with anger.

"My subordinates feel that the top priority at the moment is to get the jade seal as soon as possible!" Another person proposed, "The jade seal has not been in the hands of His Royal Highness for a day, His Royal Highness is just a prison country, the rebellion is getting more and more intense, at this time it is a good way to quell the rebellion, but if His Royal Highness can justifiably get the jade seal, he can deploy troops at will, and then suppress it is not a matter of waving his hand?" ”

A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Gu Qiang's eyes, and he looked at Xiao Jiwei, who had not spoken on the side: "What do you think?" ”

"If you go back to Your Highness, Ji Wei thinks that the rebellion will be peaceful, and the jade seal will also be found! However, the rebellion was in danger and did not support forcible suppression. ”

"Oh?" The eldest prince looked at him, "Then what should you do?" ”

"His Royal Highness's first time on the throne, what he wants is stability, as we all know, the rampant bandits in the Great Yan Country have always been a big trouble, and they can be calmed down in a day or two, it is better to continue the emperor's previous practice to continue Zhao'an, as long as His Royal Highness can persuade the biggest bandits, the rest of the small forces that follow the trend are not enough basis, and they mostly rely on other big bandits to do this kind of thing, once other bandits lie down, they naturally dare not stand anymore!"

When everyone heard this, they felt that it was reasonable.

"Xiao Gongzi's words do have some truth, the current situation is not stable, this is undoubtedly the best way!"

"Okay, then recruit an first!" Speaking of this, Gu Qiang was embarrassed again, "It's just, who is the most suitable person for this person?" ”

"Otherwise, Xiao Gongzi will go, right? He has always been able to speak, and when it comes to recruiting An, he is naturally the best candidate! ”

When the eldest prince heard this, he looked at Xiao Jiwei: "What do you think?" ”

Xiao Jiwei swept over everyone and took a step forward, "No matter how good your mouth is, it can't compare to sincerity, if Your Highness goes in person and promises them a stable life, it is the most advantageous way to recruit peace!" ”

"You mean, you want Hongu to go in person?"

"Exactly!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone quickly began to talk about it.

"No! The status of the eldest prince is noble, and these bandits kill people without blinking, in case something happens, who can afford it! "Someone disagrees.

"Yes, at such a moment, the eldest prince should sit in the palace, how can he take risks easily?"

Gu Qiang swept over everyone and looked at Xiao Jiwei again, his eyes dark: "In addition to sincerity, there should be other reasons!" ”

Xiao Jiwei told Gu Qiang about the benefits of going one by one.

"In addition to expressing sincerity, naturally, as you adults say, there is also adventure and courage!" He looked at several officials, "Although His Royal Highness has temporarily controlled the court situation, all of you know that His Highness does not have a jade seal in his hand, and several powerful ministers with heavy troops are still far away and have not returned, in other words, the great prince is currently on an unstable foundation, and there is a possibility of being overthrown at any time, one jade seal must be found, but the other is also the time to show courage and courage to those courtiers who have not yet surrendered!" ”

He bowed to Gu Qiang: "If His Highness can personally recruit the bandits in such a situation, His Highness's courage and courage will naturally be known by these courtiers, and they will finally refuse to submit now, but once His Highness ascends to the great treasure, isn't it a matter of time before he submits?" ”

"But even if His Royal Highness doesn't recruit him personally, as long as he takes the jade seal, aren't they still the same? Could it be that they still dare to resist? ”

Xiao Jiwei smiled, "Convincing or taking it orally is two different things." ”

"That's it!" Gu Qiang suddenly made a final decision, "Song Lian, you go to deal with the travel of the palace, as for the jade seal......" He looked at Xiao Jiwei, "Ji Wei, since the one in the Yuehua Palace is your insider, then the palace will hand over this matter to you!" You can't let this palace down! ”

Xiao Jiwei hurriedly bowed: "I will live up to His Highness's trust!" ”

When everyone left, Gu Qiang kept Xiao Ji in danger, stepped forward, looked at him carefully, and was full of satisfaction between his eyebrows: "Fortunately, this palace left you that day, otherwise you would have missed a good general today!" ”

"Your Highness!" Xiao Jiwei was very modest.

"Don't worry, when this palace ascends to the great treasure one day, I will not treat you badly!"

Speaking of this, the eldest prince laughed.

Yuehua Palace.

As soon as the prince led people out of the palace, the dark clouds shrouded in the entire palace finally dispersed a lot.

In the past two months, the whole palace is panicked, and they dare not breathe when they do things, for fear that they will offend the master by not paying attention.

When Xiao Jiwei came to Yuehua Palace, the guards at the palace gate were obviously not as strict as before, and there were even two fewer people.

"Xiao Gongzi!" Yin Su came out to greet him.

Xiao Jiwei bowed lightly: "I'll come to see the emperor!" ”

Yin Su led Xiao Ji into the house, and as soon as he entered the house, he smelled a faint smell of medicine, and further inside, he saw Wen Xun'er nesting beside Concubine Yue, watching her embroider.

"Concubine Yue, Miss Wen, Xiao Gongzi is here!"

Concubine Yue touched Wen Xun'er beside her: "Looking for you!" ”

Wen Xun'er saw Xiao Jiwei at this time.

She immediately stood up: "Why are you here?" ”

Seeing that Yin Su was with him, he didn't stop him, Wen Xun'er immediately guessed something, and stepped forward: "Come and see the emperor, right?" I'll lead you! ”

She took Xiao Jiwei to the inner hall, but Yin Su did not follow.

Wen Xun'er lowered her voice and approached him: "Is the thing you pointed to last time a bandit ......?"

"How much do you miss me when you don't see me for a few days?" Xiao Jiwei suddenly held her head and took it into her arms, and Wen Xun'er's words were swallowed back into her throat.

"I'll say that later!" He lowered his voice and landed in Wen Xun'er's ear, and then glanced outside.

Yin Su was staring at them straightly, and when he saw him turn around, he suddenly felt that his presence was abrupt, so he took a few steps back.

Wen Xun'er just saw her back leaving.

When she came to her senses, she didn't dare to ask again.

"How is the emperor?"

Wen Xun'er opened the curtain to show him: "It's already a lot better!" ”

Speaking of this, there was a clear twitch between her eyebrows, Xiao Jiwei knew that she must have something else to say, but the current situation couldn't be spoken.

"Come here!"

"Why?" Wen Xun'er looked at his outstretched hand, her eyes full of strangeness!

Xiao Jiwei took a step forward, took her hand, and said in a low voice: "If you don't be intimate with me, how can you and I be alone?" ”

Wen Xun'er understood.

In the eyes of outsiders, they are newly married after all, and it is normal to be inseparable, otherwise they will not look like husband and wife at all!

Therefore, when he and Xiao Jiwei held hands and came out very crookedly, the look of vigilance on Yin Su's face dissipated a lot.

"Auntie, can I borrow a side hall? I'll have a few words with my young lady. ”

Yin Su's eyes showed a little understanding, and there was a smile on his face: "Xiao Gongzi, please come with me!" ”

Yuehua Palace is not too big, but there are countless rooms.

Yin Su led the two to the door on the west side: "The two of you please, the slave and maid will not follow!" ”

Xiao Jiwei pulled Wen Xun'er into the house.

As soon as the two entered, the door that had just been closed slammed, as if someone had bumped into it, Yin Su turned around strangely, understood something in a moment, and walked away.

Wen Xun'er looked outside through the crack in the door and breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that the eldest prince trusts you a lot, otherwise it would be impossible for me to come out alone with you!" ”

"He believes me a little, but the eldest prince is suspicious by nature, so it's better to be careful!" Speaking of this, he looked at Wen Xun'er, "What did you want to say just now?" ”

"Just now?" Wen Xun'er remembered what he was referring to, so she lowered her voice and said: "When my aunt wiped the emperor's body yesterday, I found that the emperor's fingers moved. ”

Xiao Jiwei nodded: "As long as the emperor wakes up, you will immediately let him make a holy decree, and the garrison outside the city will only listen to the holy decree. ”

Wen Xun'er nodded, full of confidence: "Those bandit rebels, did you do it?" ”
