Snow Yang Palace.

As the sun sinks, the sunset pours down and falls into the hall through the paper windows, forming spots of light.

The queen mother is busy, arranging for someone to serve the food.

and personally stewed a pot of ginseng soup.

Chaiyue sat at the dining table with a big belly, looked at the table full of delicious saliva, and took advantage of the stall where Zhu Tianzheng and Zhu Ziyan were discussing the affairs of the Ministry of Commerce in the room, and stuffed a piece of meat into his mouth with his hand, Ma Ma Xiang!

"The dishes are all ready, Qi'er ......"

The queen mother put the last dish on the table, and then beckoned.

"Here comes the Queen Mother!"

Zhu Ziyan responded, and soon helped Zhu Tianzheng to walk out, looked at Chasing Yue and smiled, and gestured to the corner of his mouth with his hand.

Chasing the moon understood, and quickly wiped the oil stains on the corner of his mouth, feeling that he had been caught, and subconsciously glanced at Zhu Tianzheng.

Although Zhu Tianzheng's face was slightly pale, his complexion was okay, he came to the table and sat down, and said: "Eat when you are hungry, how can you have so many scruples, you didn't grow up in the palace, you don't need to talk about the rules, not to mention, children also have to eat." ”

Saying that, he also sandwiched a big chicken leg for Chasing the Moon.

Chasing the moon was not polite, and gnawed it directly.

It's really a little hungry, after all, it's two people eating now, and the amount of food is large, and I don't care about any image.

Zhu Ziyan pursed her lips and snickered.

The queen mother was also seated, and while she was busy: "Slow down, no one will rob you of ......" and did not forget to pour a cup of tea for Chasing Moon to prevent choking.

Zhu Tianzheng glanced at her and smiled, and asked, "Is it about to give birth?" ”

The queen nodded, "It's almost there!" Counting the time, it's been ten days. ”

Zhu Tianzheng asked again: "Have you thought of a name?" ”

Zhu Ziyan's eyes moved, and she said tentatively: "Father, why don't you think of one?" ”

Zhu Tianzheng seemed a little moved, but after thinking about it, he said, "Forget it!" Leave the child's name to the child's father! I don't have to worry about it. ”

Zhu Ziyan made up her mind and continued to probe: "It's a pity, his father can't come, otherwise he ......"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere suddenly became a little different.

Zhu Tianzheng frowned slightly.

Chasing Moon also raised his head.

The queen mother looked a little nervous, and hurriedly picked up vegetables for Zhu Tianzheng and Zhu Ziyan, and said, "Okay, okay, eat the vegetables first, and I'll talk about these things later." ”

Zhu Tianzheng glanced at her, smiled, and then looked at Chasing Yue and said, "You really want him to come?" ”

Chasing Yue didn't speak, and continued to bury her head in cooking, she didn't want her mother to be too embarrassed.

It's rare to have such an atmosphere, which is what the queen mother desires the most, in case it is not good because she destroys it.

Seeing that she didn't answer, Zhu Tianzheng looked at Zhu Ziyan again.

Zhu Ziyan's face froze, then she smiled, sandwiched some vegetarian dishes for Zhu Tianzheng, and said, "Father, eat more vegetarian food and maintain your health!" ”

Zhu Tianzheng looked at the three of them, smiled, and sighed, "It will always come!" ”

This meal was quite harmonious, and the parents were short during the banquet, which was quite a bit of the taste of ordinary people's homes.

Zhu Tianzheng seemed to be in a good mood, but he didn't eat much, he didn't seem to have a very good appetite, and he kept coughing during the banquet, and the queen mother was worried.

Zhu Tianzheng was nothing, as if he was used to it, and said, "Don't worry!" I'm fine. ”

The queen mother said with concern: "Your Majesty, why don't you stay tonight!" Concubines can also help watch. ”

Zhu Tianzheng smiled and said: "There is still a mess in the imperial study, who will stay to do it?" ”

The queen said: "Isn't there still a fifth child, let him ......"

"He ......"

Zhu Tianzheng sighed, "Forget it!" Do not say. ”

With that, he got up and prepared to leave.

The queen mother said again: "If the concubine goes to the imperial study with His Majesty, she can also help take care of it." ”

Zhu Tianzheng shook his head and said: "No need, there are still fewer people in the imperial study, you are not a doctor, it is useless to go, you should stay and watch our daughter!" I'm almost in labor, don't miss anything......"

Zhu Ziyan's eyes brightened slightly.

Chasing the moon was also stunned.

Zhu Tianzheng looked at her and smiled, and then walked out of the main hall.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"

Outside the main hall, Gonggong Cao stood respectfully.

Zhu Tianzheng glanced at him and said, "Old thing, your complexion looks pretty good, but it's me, and it's becoming more and more useless." ”

Gonggong Cao hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is blessed with all the heavens, and you will definitely be able to live forever." ”

Zhu Tianzheng sighed and said, "How can there be any longevity, you weren't so hypocritical before, everyone will die, and I am no exception." Old thing, it's better for us to compare and see who can live longer. ”

Gonggong Cao smiled and said: "That must be Your Majesty, the life of the old slave is given by Your Majesty, and he will inevitably die before Your Majesty." ”

"No!"

Zhu Tianzheng shook his head and said, "You can't die, I still have something for you to do, and in this huge palace, only you can reassure me." ”

Gonggong Cao raised his head and looked at Zhu Tianzheng in amazement.

The Imperial Study.

By this time, the sky had darkened, and there were lights in the corners of the surroundings, and sandalwood rose from the incense burner not far away.

Zhu Tianzheng stepped into it, sniffed slightly, and said, "Isn't this the sandalwood of Yonghe Palace!" ”

When a little eunuch heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Back to Your Majesty, it was just sent by Concubine Xian, saying that Your Majesty has been unwell recently and likes this kind of sandalwood, so let the small one be put on to help Your Majesty get rid of fatigue." ”

Zhu Tianzheng's eyes narrowed slightly, "Concubine Xian has a heart!" ”

After saying that, he went straight to the imperial case and looked at the folds.

At this time, another little eunuch walked in, holding a tray in his hand, on which was a bowl of black decoction, and before he got close, there was a strong smell of Chinese medicine, with a disgusting taste.

Because His Majesty is unwell, he has to take medicine every day during this time.

Huang Gonggong took the decoction and checked it as usual.

Suddenly, his face changed dramatically.

The other side.

The fifth prince, Zhu Liang, is rolling up in his own mansion, checking the past twists and turns, as well as the ways and means of his father's handling of affairs, and suddenly rushing ducks to the shelves, it is really difficult for him, after all, for so many years, he has never stood in the center of power, and he has never been in contact with these things.

So I can only redouble my efforts, hoping that my father can treat him differently.

Fortunately, he is not very worried, and he understands the current situation, as long as he does not make a big mistake, the probability is still very high, that is, the question asked by his father before, he never knows how to face the southwest and face that person.

Just as he was thinking nonsense.

At this time, the strategist Wang Ruhai suddenly rushed in, "Your Highness, it's not good, something happened!" ”

Zhu Liang hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Wang Ruhai said nervously: "My subordinates just received the news and said...... ......He seemed a little hesitant and a little scared.

Zhu Liang asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Wang Ruhai gritted his teeth and said: "The news says that His Majesty's illness is caused by poisoning, and it is the second prince who made the shot, and they will do it again tonight and completely ......."

What did you say!

Zhu Liang's face suddenly changed greatly.
