my brother-in-law is the prince

Chapter 22
When he entered the palace, Zhu Di looked back, but saw that Zhu Gaochi had been pulled far away, so he stopped, showing a displeased look.

It's not that he doesn't like Zhu Gaochi, this is his son after all, but he feels that... this son's physical fitness is too worrying, and his appearance... doesn't look like a prince.

On the other hand, Zhu Gaoxu was imposing, with the air of a dragon and a tiger.

"Father..." Zhu Gaochi finally walked in front of Zhu Di, very embarrassed, and saluted Zhu Di with shame.

Zhu Di sighed and said, "You, you need to go on a diet."

"Yes Yes."

Zhu Di said: "Your brother-in-law Zhang Anshi...hasn't caused trouble recently, right?"

Zhu Gaochi said: "An Shi is still a child..."

Zhu Di said, "That's not necessarily the case."

Zhu Gaochi quickly defended: "Father, An Shi's heart is good, he..."

Zhu Di smiled: "I heard that he, Zhu Yong and Zhang Fu are close friends, but Zhu Yong and Zhang Fu are very promising now, and they have already been called the second culprit in the capital. Why don't you say they are not the three culprits in the capital?" Woolen cloth?"

Zhu Gaochi was dumbfounded and didn't know how to answer for a while.

Zhu Gaoxu was beside him, and he couldn't help showing a little joy, but then he thought of his mother, but he became dejected again.

Zhu Di put his hands behind his back and said, "Let's go, say something nice in front of your queen mother."

The three father and son walked to Empress Xu's bedroom.

At this time, Empress Xu was still sleeping.

The eunuch wanted to wake up Empress Xu, but seeing Zhu Di frowned, he suddenly became creepy. The old eunuch understood, knowing that His Majesty hoped that Empress Xu could sleep for a while, so he also quietly retreated.

Zhu Di arrived at the couch, sat down gently, lowered his eyes, and looked at Empress Xu who was sleeping soundly.

Empress Xu has long been tortured to the point of being haggard, and Zhu Di's tiger eyes stared at her like this, and couldn't help but want to cry.

Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly stood sideways, not daring to make a sound.

Zhu Di was like a statue, sitting stiffly, motionless.

Time passed little by little.

More than half an hour.

Even the old eunuch outside felt a little strange, and tiptoed in to visit for a while, then his lips pursed, wanting to say something, but he didn't dare to make a sound.

Outside the dormitory, dozens of eunuchs and maidservants were waiting there with all kinds of washing utensils and meals.

They were motionless and silent.

It's just that everyone's face is a bit puzzled.

Today...is a bit unusual.

Time passed slowly.

Another half hour passed.

The prepared meal has been sent back to be warmed many times.

The warm water that was originally used for grooming had to be replaced several times.

Until another hour passed, when even Zhu Di felt a little numb.

Empress Xu woke up faintly, her eyes slightly opened a line, and she saw Zhu Di, she was a little dazed.

"You're awake." Zhu Di smiled, now he didn't look like a big bastard.

Empress Xu was at a loss for a moment, then said softly, "How long have you been sleeping?"

Before Zhu Di could answer, the old eunuch hurried in, lowered his thin voice and said, "Your Majesty has been asleep for four hours, Your Majesty... Your Majesty... Your Majesty has never slept so soundly in the past year or so." ..."

Zhu Di was shocked, and turned to look at Empress Xu. Empress Xu's face was naturally pale, but she seemed to be a little more energetic than before.

The old eunuch excitedly said: "Is your lady still coughing..."

"Oh, yes..." Empress Xu also noticed something strange at this time, she held her breath lightly, still feeling a little stuffy in her throat, but... indeed her breathing was much smoother than before.

This……

Empress Xu showed an incredible look.

The long-term torment of illness made her feel so miserable that she had already forgotten what it was like when she was healthy.

But now, although she still feels a little uncomfortable, it gives her a feeling of being reborn.

"I feel relieved a little... but I don't know why."

Zhu Di was still sitting there, motionless, dumbfounded.

The old eunuch said: "Your Majesty...you used to cough at night and couldn't even sleep well, but from last night until now, when the servants were waiting outside the hall, although they coughed occasionally, they didn't make much noise. After a good night's sleep, I don't know if...whether I want to drink some tea to moisten my throat."

At this moment, Empress Xu suddenly had the feeling of seeing the sun again. At first she was still a little unbelievable, but now... She tried her best to breathe evenly, took another breath, and said: "Come in some tea, other than that, my palace Want to eat."

"Dining..."

The jaws of the people in the hall would drop in shock.

The old eunuch was overjoyed immediately, probably because of excitement, he said in a trembling voice: "What do you want to eat, Madam?"

"I think of the white fungus soup that I ate all the time when I was in Beiping City. By the way, let's add another 'eight treasures of poultry'."

The entire dormitory has become a mess.

The rice porridge that was originally going to be brought up was quickly removed, and several stoves were all fired in the inner dining room.

Empress Xu said at this time: "Your Majesty, the medicine you sent earlier..."

Only then did Zhu Di suddenly come to his senses, and said: "Yes, yes, it's the medicine, and the medicine really worked, unexpectedly...it has such a miraculous effect."

All of a sudden, Zhu Di's lips trembled with excitement, and he was a little speechless for a while.

Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly greeted each other, Zhu Gaoxu said: "Mother's auspicious person has a natural appearance, this is God's blessing..."

Zhu Di interrupted him at this moment: "Of course there is God's protection, but it is also thanks to Guo Degan."

"Guo Degan?"

Zhu Di stood up excitedly, and said: "Thanks to this son's medicine, he saved the life of a good wife."

Zhu Gaochi said cautiously: "Father, who is this Guo Degan?"

Zhu Di glared at him. At this moment, a big stone fell from his heart. Naturally, he regained his heroic temperament, and couldn't help but want to curse: "Who is Guo Degan? Anyway, he is a hundred times stronger than your brother-in-law. Those children... ...And you, you should all learn from him, he has such a great ability at such a young age."

Zhu Gaochi: "..."

He made fun of it, but fortunately he's used to it.

Zhu Gaoxu saw the stitches and said: "What the father said is that the current children are too outrageous."

After Empress Xu washed up, the meal was finally served. In addition to the white fungus soup ordered by Empress Xu, there were also poultry and eight treasures, and other dishes were also served, filling a large table.

At this time, Empress Xu only felt that she was very hungry.

In fact, her pneumonia, relying on Zhang Anshi's medicine, did not take effect so quickly, perhaps because her physique is different from that of later generations. After all, later generations have a certain resistance to this medicine, and this medicine was used on Empress Xu. , the effect is obviously stronger.

Of course, there are still some coughs occasionally, but for the former Empress Xu, it is considered to be recovering from a serious illness.

She was really hungry, and in front of the father and son, she ate a bowl of white fungus soup, a pancake, and half a dish of poultry and eight delicacies.

Zhu Di, Zhu Gaochi, and Zhu Gaoxu were just around happily.

At this moment, it seemed that he had returned to the time when he was in Beiping, when Zhu Di was not yet the emperor, and his sons didn't have that much thought.

The whole family sat together, Zhu Di babbled about what he had seen and heard about the hunting, while Empress Xu was only responsible for listening with a smile.

Empress Xu said at this time: "Your Majesty...the concubine feels much better, and her breathing is unobstructed. This medicine...is really extraordinary. Is the person who offered the medicine called Guo Degan? Your Majesty must reward it well."

Zhu Di beamed brightly, laughed and said, "I have my own measure."

Zhu Gaochi said: "He saved my son's mother, I don't know how grateful I should be."

Zhu Gaoxu said: "My son now wishes he could treat him like a bull or a horse."

Zhu Di laughed and said, "You are a fucking talent, you dare to say anything."
