Ahem, ahem!

A series of coughing sounds came from the dormitory.

Zhao Xiyan listened to it in his ears, and his heart was heavy. immediately quickened his pace and entered Su Huan's bedroom.

Su Huan has not yet reached his thirties this year, and there are already a few strands of gray hair on his head. There are wrinkles at the corners of my eyes. This wind chill seemed to have drained all her vitality, and the whole person lay there, looking vicissitudes and haggard.

In terms of age, Su Huan is actually as old as Zhao Xiyan. However, Zhao Xiyan's face is flourishing, and he is full of grace. Su Huan is like yesterday's yellow flower, about to wither.

"Sister-in-law," Zhao Xiyan sat on the edge of the bed with grief and called softly.

Su Huan responded weakly and coughed violently again. I coughed for a long time and coughed up a thick lump of bloody phlegm.

Zhao Xiyan's heart tightened, and he turned his head and called Imperial Doctor Wan in.

Dr. Wan is nearly seventy, his eyes are not dazzled or deaf, and his steps are still vigorous. The young man who followed Taiyi Wan, with a handsome face and a slender body, was Zhao Queyu's husband Wan Yuan.

After Wan Yuan and Zhao Queyu got married four years ago, they were admitted to the Tai Hospital. With the queen's favor and care, and his grandfather's ear and face training, Xiao Wan Taiyi has been promoted to two levels in just a few years, and is now a medical officer of the seventh grade.

Doctor Wan administered needles to Su Huan, and Xiao Wan Taiyi opened the medicine box and took the golden needle to start, and the two grandparents and grandchildren cooperated tacitly and acted quickly.

Su Huan finally stopped coughing, drank a bowl of decoction, and gradually fell asleep.

Zhao Xiyan called out Doctor Wan: "Doctor Wan, you tell me the truth." Can my sister-in-law's illness be cured? ”

Imperial Physician Wan was silent for a moment, and replied in a low voice: "Su Niangniang has suffered from heart disease for ten years, and this cold is just an introduction. The minister is incompetent and can't cure Su Niangniang's illness. ”

Zhao Xiyan's nose was suddenly sour, and his eyes flashed with water.

It's been 10 years of Yong'an.

In the tenth year of Xu Jing's accession to the throne, the Great Jin Dynasty was prosperous and the treasury was full. In addition to the original 50,000 troops of the Iron Guard Battalion, the Tiger Battalion and the Praetorian Guard were expanded to 50,000, with a total strength of 200,000. The garrisons of the thirteen states also have more than 10,000 troops, and the total number is 200,000. Among them, the Jiaodong Army and the Youzhou Army of the Jizhou Army are all elite soldiers and loyal to the Son of Heaven.

With such a strong army, the Son of Heaven did not want to start a war lightly. The Ministry of War repeatedly asked the Son of Heaven to send troops to attack the nomadic tribes outside the Northwest Pass to open up territory, but the Son of Heaven refused.

Xu Jing's original words are like this: "What to fight!" It costs money to fight a war, and many people will die. In order to open up the territory of the good reputation, it is necessary to fill in the treasury of the Great Jin Dynasty and the lives of the soldiers. I won't do such a loss-making thing. ”

Xu Jing has been the emperor for ten years, but he is still not so proficient in government affairs and state affairs. However, it is better to be able to employ people, and to have a group of loyal and capable courtiers.

Zhou Shangshu is old, and Zhao Shangshu was promoted to be a heavenly official of the Ministry of Officials. Shen Zhangyuan took over the post of secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Lord Liao became the secretary of the household department two years ago. Meng Yushi, who has been running all year round and has become more and more famous, is praised by the people as Meng Qingtian, and is now in charge of the Yushi Stage. The eldest brother-in-law of the Son of Heaven, Zhou Yun, is now the head of the Hanlin Academy, and the third brother-in-law, Xie Lingfeng, is the waiter of the Ministry of Works.

Not to mention the generals, it can be said that there are many talents.

There is no shortage of good generals in the younger generation of the Feng family, and the Iron Guard Battalion is still in charge of the Feng family.

Gao Wang and Li Xiao are in the prime of military generals. Xu San is the second military general in the Tiger Battalion. General Tao in the palace said goodbye, and the younger generation of the Tao family was promoted. Zhu Zhenchuan, the second brother-in-law of the Son of Heaven, is now the general of the Praetorian Guard. Xu 11, Xu 25, Xu 76 and others are all first-class good generals.

The Great Jin Dynasty is now rich and strong, and the officials and people love the Son of Heaven very much. Everyone almost forgot the lustful and mediocre Emperor Yongming ten years ago, and gradually forgot the smart and virtuous prince Xu Jun.

The only people who have always remembered the prince are the Empress Dowager Su Huan, Xu Jing, Zhao Xiyan, Liao Liao and Liao in the palace.

Empress Dowager Su has survived for several years and has come out of the pain of losing her child. The greatest pleasure now is teaching the princess Xu Ning.

Xu Jing has complicated state affairs to be busy, and Zhao Xiyan has to take care of the trivial affairs of the harem to raise his children. Only Su Huan lives in the past day after day.

Ten years have exhausted Su Huan's energy and longevity. A wind chill led to a cough disease, and he had begun to cough up blood.

I don't know how long I can survive like this.

Zhao Xiyan twisted his head to the side, and said softly after a while: "Please ask Imperial Doctor Wan to do his best to diagnose and treat." In front of your sister-in-law, you can't show your clues. ”

Doctor Wan sighed and responded.

At this time, the Empress Dowager Su came.

Empress Dowager Su has been widowed for several years, and she is obviously old, with more wrinkles at the corners of her eyes and forehead, and a trace of gray hair in her hair.

Zhao Xiyan stepped forward to greet him and held the arm of the Empress Dowager Su.

Empress Dowager Su was in a heavy mood and asked in a low voice, "What is Huan'er's illness?" Don't hide it from the mourning family, the mourning family must listen to the truth. ”

Zhao Xiyan's heart trembled, gritted his teeth, and whispered.

Empress Dowager Su's eyes flashed with water, and her voice was choked: "Why can't she think about it like this." Jun'er has been gone for so many years, and she still can't let go of ......"

Love is deep.

In this world, there are people who are unkind and wolf-hearted, and there are also infatuated lovers like Su Huan.

……

The weather is getting colder and colder, and charcoal fires are burning in the dormitory all day long, and Su Huan's cough is still getting worse and worse.

When I entered the wax moon, I coughed up blood in my phlegm.

Wan Taiyi hinted that it was a matter of the year after the year. Zhao Xiyan endured her grief and asked the Internal Affairs Office to quietly prepare for the future.

Xu Jing was also very uncomfortable in his heart, and said to Zhao Xiyan: "After my cousin-in-law closes her eyes, bury her and her cousin together!" ”

Zhao Xiyan nodded silently.

When I looked up, I saw Xu Jing's red eyes: "Crescent moon, when we are old in the future, we will close our eyes together." No one can go first, how can the one left behind live. ”

Zhao Xiyan was touched by the old scar, and his eyes were red.

She snuggled into his arms and whispered, "Okay, the two of us have made up our minds." Let's go together later. ”

No one told Su Huan, and no one needed to say it. When people reach the end of their lives, their minds are exceptionally clear.

"I'm coming to the end of my life." Su Huan muttered, his eyes showing relief.

Zhao Xiyan sat on the edge of the bed and held back her tears to comfort: "Sister-in-law, don't say sad words, it's good to wait for this year." I will live a long life in the future. ”

Su Huan said in a low voice: "My own body, I know best." I know I'm dying. ”

"These past few nights, I have been dreaming of my cousin. When I closed my eyes, I went underground to meet him. He has never been reincarnated, waiting for me by the bridge! ”

"Don't be too sad when I'm dead. Bury me next to my cousin's mausoleum. ”

Zhao Xiyan's tears rolled down: "Brother Chunsheng plans to let you be buried with the prince." ”

A side concubine is not qualified to be buried with the prince. After getting Zhao Xiyan's promise, Su Huan was very happy: "That's great." Thank you very much. ”

At the end of the year, Su Huan coughed up blood and died.
