Mu Chun was very worried about him: "Fifth brother ......"

Zhou Shuren smiled, but reassured him: "I'm fine." ”

He still went to sit in the infirmary, and when he had time, he went to read the old medical books, and often carried a basket up the mountain to collect medicine, as if Xingniang's departure had no effect on him.

Until the autumn of this year, Zhou Shu's birthday, Mu Chun and his wife came to visit with their children.

Zhou Shuren is very happy - he has gotten along very well with Mu Chun and his wife in the past two years.

This joy inevitably led to drinking too much, and when he got up, he was in too much of a hurry, and he stumbled under his feet, knocking over the basket resting on the table next to him.

Mu Chun heard a crisp bell sound, followed by a "flutter" of wings, and a colorful parrot suddenly flew to the window and screamed loudly.

"Apricot Niang! Apricot !! ”

The air seems to freeze instantaneously.

Zhou Shuren froze in place, and after coming back to his senses, he allowed himself to sit on the ground and wept loudly.

"Apricot Girl...... Apricot Niang! ”

Chapter 176

Xingniang is not just a concubine for Zhou Shuren, and it is difficult to describe it as a relative, but it is necessary to say that the specific point is probably his best friend, and it can even be said that it is a giant tree that supports his spiritual world.

From the beginning of Zhou Shuren's departure from Beijing to the Zhou Shuren taking root in Yunnan, Xingniang has been with him from beginning to end, and the two have snuggled up to each other, just like two vines entangled together.

Now that Xingniang has passed away, for the people of Zhou Shu, the sky above his head seems to have collapsed in half.

But life goes on.

Zhou Shuren had no intention of returning to Beijing, but continued to stay in Yunnan to repair books and collect medicine, and the impact of the plague had not yet been completely ended, and he still had a lot to do......

The people of Yunnan finally knew that the handsome young doctor, who often sat in various medical centers, had such a noble background!

Originally, I thought that the highest local military and political chief was the emperor's righteous son, which was shocking enough, but that Zhou Dafu (Zhou Shuren's name to the outside world) was actually the emperor's son!

They had even treated him before.

This dynasty has been deeply involved in Yunnan for several years, and Mu Ying has been entrusted with the emperor's order, and he has been conscientious and conscientious, but the achievements of Zhou Shuren this time have almost overshadowed him.

Who called him the Emperor's son?

Who would not revere a prince who came here in person, dressed in coarse cloth, gave free medical treatment to people, and carried a backpack around to practice medicine in remote places in his spare time, and this time solved the great epidemic this spring?

The emperor has such a son, I think he must be a wise emperor!

Someone said something weird: "He's not a prince now......"

Someone in the market asked: "Isn't Dr. Zhou the son of the emperor?" How could it not be a prince? ”

The man said: "He was deposed and degraded to Yunnan, but to put it bluntly, he still thinks that we are a poor and remote country, so he sent people here!" ”

But no one believes that.

Because someone asked him: "What mistake did Doctor Zhou make that that reason why he was demoted to Yunnan?" ”

The man talked about the reason, what internal and external collusion, what ill intentions, and so on.

Everyone was furious: "You fart! How could Dr. Zhou be this kind of person?! ”

Another person said: "How can a father treat his son like this for such a trivial matter?" How dare you slander Dr. Zhou like this! ”

scolded people away with gossips, and some of them were really angry, and they even threw a handful of rotten vegetable leaves when people turned around.

When Zhou Shuren heard about this, he was laughing and laughing, and then thinking back to his old things in Beijing, it was really like a big dream.

……

At first, the emperor sent people to Yunnan, thinking that he could make the child a weapon, live a personal life, and be a model for the clan, but at first he was afraid that this kid had not suffered hardships, and sneaked back halfway to lose his face.

The emperor was angry and anxious, and said to the prince, "What does he mean by this?" Angry with me? ”

The prince said helplessly: "Dad, didn't you send the fifth brother out of Beijing by yourself?" Now that it's as you wish, why are you not satisfied? ”

The emperor's eyebrows were raised, and his eyes were about to attack.

The prince became more and more helpless, so he had to smooth the hair of the old lion in front of him, shook the letter in his hand, and said, "Didn't the fifth brother say it himself?" Although there are countless famous doctors in Beijing, it is difficult to compare with Yunnan with the grass and trees, and there are many miasma and insect diseases there, and there are countless victims. ”

The emperor then gave up in a foolish manner.

He is one with the queen, and since he knows this, the queen must know.

And since the queen knows, it is inevitable that she will indirectly reveal it to Princess Zhou.

Over the years, the Zhou Shu people have had some experience outside, and most of the graceful and handsome people in the past have disappeared, and there are some heroic and sturdy Yan Wang, and their faces have also added a bit of wind and frost, looking like they are seven or eight years old, but Princess Zhou is getting younger and younger.

I also know that the bad husband is gone, the even worse warbler Yanyan in the backyard is gone, and the palace is living with them and their mothers, and the emperor and queen are sent to Yunnan because of the Zhou Shu people, intending to compensate the mother and son, the crown princess, and the rest of the concubines, all of whom are extremely considerate.

In such a situation, can Princess Zhou not be moisturized this day?

It is a common thing that there is no preoccupation at all, and the mental condition is getting healthier and healthier.

The emperor said that he would send the Zhou Shu people to Yunnan, but in fact he was still a little uneasy, so in the past few years, the Zhou Shu people have experienced something outside, and Princess Zhou is actually very clear.

Princess Jin was meticulous, and after hearing about the relationship between Zhou Shuren and Xingniang, she specially came to persuade her, but Princess Zhou just laughed at it.

She really didn't care.

After crossing out the option of being a man in her life, her life seems to have turned on a simple mode, so why do she have to find herself unhappy?

She and Xingniang, where is the deep hatred.

Even Princess Zhou sincerely hopes that Zhou Shu people will work hard in Yunnan and make a career, the next King Zhou has been hand-picked by the emperor, it is her biological son, the better Zhou Shu people do there, the more shadow left to his son?

There's something she can't see.

It was only in the spring of the following year that news came from Yunnan, but it was bad news.

The emperor and the crown prince, and even the kings, were all concerned about the epidemic situation in Zhou Shu and Yunnan, and they did not notice that there was a sentence followed by "Xingniang died", but when Princess Zhou saw it, she sighed, and asked her son to do a ritual for Xingniang in the temple for 49 days, and asked her son to put a stick of incense on her.

The grievances of the previous generation should not be implicated in the child, and Zhou Shuren's discord with her husband and wife and the fact that he is the father of the child are not contradictory.

Apricot Niang to Zhou Shu people have the same feelings, there is the grace of the difficult times, Zhou Shu people are the father of the little Zhou King, this incense, is for the filial piety of the son of man, she can afford it.

After that, the days went by as slowly as before.

As the little king of Zhou grew older, the emperor pointed out the master to enlighten him, and the princess of Zhou took care of many things in the house, and when she had time, she went to get together with a few concubines, and occasionally learned about the recent situation of the Zhou Shu people from the queen.

He has really taken root in Yunnan, and his life can be regarded as impressive.

It's just that I heard that he never took a concubine again, and when he set out from Beijing, he only had one concubine by his side, and the same was true after he arrived in Yunnan, and a few years after Xingniang's death, it was still the same.

It was as if Xingniang's departure had also taken away his interest in women.

When Princess Zhou heard this, she just smiled and didn't care at all.

The crown princess sighed and said that the emperor meant to send two more people over, and Zhou Shu was a big man, how could he do it if there was no one around him who knew how to know cold and hot?

Princess Zhou just listened and didn't make a sound.

Sure enough, I listened to the crown princess continue to say, but this was denied by the prince.

If there is really a lack of such a person around Zhou Shuren, wouldn't Mu Ying see the opportunity to act?

Jingshi has a long way to go to Yunnan, even if he really sends the beauty over, he can't say that he will die halfway, it is better to let Mu Ying choose someone to come in Yunnan.

After hearing this, the emperor really quietly gave Mu Ying a secret decree because he cherished his son.

After that, Princess Zhou does not know.

Because I don't care, I don't care.

Xiao Zhou Wang is growing up day by day, and she, as a mother, has more things to do, where can she have extra thoughts to care for people who are far away in the world.

It wasn't until the Zhou Shu people finished taking care of the affairs of Yunnan that they took a long journey with more than a dozen truckloads of plant specimens and books and returned to their homeland.

When they returned to Beijing again, the Zhou Shu people naturally had to visit their parents and brothers first, and after leaving the palace, they would inevitably go to the Zhou Palace.

The original husband and wife saw each other again after many years, and they felt strangers to each other.

Zhou Wangfu looked at her husband, who almost looked like a different person in front of her, and hesitated and did not make a sound.

On the contrary, it was Zhou Shuren who spoke first: "I have not been back in Yunnan all these years, and although I have written letters during this period, some words are better to say in person." ”

He bowed down and pleaded guilty to Princess Zhou: "When I was in the palace, I was dizzy, and I couldn't stand you, I really owe you a lot of things in the palace over the years. ”

Princess Zhou's mood was extremely complicated, but she didn't say "It's okay," her lips moved, and she finally said, "It's all over." ”

Zhou Shuren said in a low voice: "There is one more thing I want to thank you, I heard that you made a special trip to Xingniang to make a dojo ......"

Princess Zhou said: "It's also a poor person." ”

Zhou Shuren did not make a sound, but his expression was gloomy.

Princess Zhou coughed and asked again: "Can you bring Xingniang's coffin to the north?" ”

Zhou Shuren said softly: "She said on her deathbed that she prefers Yunnan." ”

Princess Zhou let out a soft "oh".

The married couple who used to share the same bed are like strangers at this time.

Zhou Shuren felt that the atmosphere was embarrassing, so he quickly said: "Father hesitated how to place me, I think it is not bad now, I met Da Lang in the upper study, you taught him very well, I think in the future, he will be a much better Zhou Wang than me......"

"As for me," he said, standing up and chuckling, "it's better to read a medical book." ”

Zhou Shuren said to her: "Pack up the southern courtyard, all the things I brought back have been settled, the place is big and secluded, and it is inevitable that the imperial doctor will come to discuss with me from time to time in the future." ”

This is also in line with Princess Zhou's wishes, and she responded with a smile: "Okay." ”

……

At the beginning of his earlier ascension to the throne, the emperor still had the idea of emulating the old feudal system of the Zhou Dynasty, but later, somehow, he dispelled this idea by himself, so except for the unrest on the northern border, when the king of Yan was sent out on an expedition, the rest of the kings stayed in Jingshi, and there was no intention of becoming a vassal.

Wait until the emperor dies, the crown prince ascends the throne, and even the crown prince dies, and the emperor grandson ascends the throne for several decades, and there is no such thing as a prince in this dynasty.

Correspondingly, of course, Zhou Shuren did not leave Beijing.

After his death, the historians had some difficulty in positioning him.

The fifth son of Emperor Taizu has made great achievements in his life and has won the hearts of the people, and if he does not have a good reputation, let alone the family of King Zhou, the people of the world will not let him go!
