life in a hurry

Seeing the rumors spread everywhere, the queen mother couldn't hold back any longer, and came to see the emperor in person: "The Ai family heard that the emperor is going south?"

The emperor nodded: "I don't feel better anymore, the imperial doctor said that I should go south to relax."

The queen mother deliberately joked: "I see that Fei Qing has also gone south."

The emperor smiled: "If the queen mother thinks so, I have no choice but to admit it."

Seeing him like this, the Queen Mother couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, Ai's family can hear rumors outside even in the deep palace. Why are you doing this?"

The emperor still smiled and said: "I have already said it just now, it is the empress who does not want to believe it."

"Because the Ai family understands their son best, you will never be so willful." The queen mother sighed, "If it was only for yourself, you would never do such a thing. You have been peeing since you were young..."

The emperor cut off her words: "Mother."

The Queen Mother looked at him.

The emperor smiled at her: "You never understand what kind of person I am."

The queen mother stood there in a daze, unable to recover for a while.

"It may not be appropriate to say this. It should be said that you clearly know what kind of person I am, but you never want to admit it, and you never allow me to admit it." The emperor looked at her with gentle eyes, but the words he said cut her like a knife. "I have never been an obedient person, I only like others to listen to me."

The Empress Dowager's eyes were sour, and she said slowly: "Everything the Ai family has done is for you, yet you hate your mother so much."

"I never hated you, but you never wanted to believe or respect every word I said." The emperor's smile became more and more helpless, "For example, if you think ginseng is good, you keep stuffing it When it came out of my mouth, if I said I didn’t want to eat it, you never listened to it.”

"What you said was all angry words. If you are not suitable to be an emperor, no one is suitable." The Queen Mother regained her confidence, "You always blame the Ai family for killing your brothers, but their few How does fate compare with the people? Don’t always remember them as good. If they become emperors, can they be better than you? Of course not. Are you really letting the Ai family’s mediocre women handle you as the first emperor? The first emperor made you do it The prince is because you can afford it, and they are mediocre and don't know it, so they shouldn't fight with you."

"Then what did the third brother do wrong?" The emperor's smile disappeared, "He has never done anything, and he can't do anything, but you smothered him to death in front of me. You are all Because of me, I can't say anything, so I don't even dare to die, I'm afraid I won't have the face to face him after death. Besides, are you really doing it all for me?"

"What do you mean, Your Majesty? If the Ai family is not for you, who else could it be for?" The queen mother also became anxious, "Now that the emperor is going to bring up the Yao family again, right? The Yao family is the Ai family's natal family, the emperor Even if they don't want to, they always have to be praised. There is no reason to let them down. Besides, they have never done anything out of line, but the emperor always prefers to listen to others' words and beat him Mother's face, do you still have the face to accuse Aijia of making you ashamed to face your ancestors? The emperor said that Aijia didn't understand you, but Aijia really understood you too well, but he didn't want to speak too harshly between mother and son , since you want to listen, Aijia has to say.

Are you really invincible?Aijia remembers that when you were four years old, at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, your imperial grandmother asked you to recite poems with a group of children to cheer you up. Grandmother was happy enough, but after you came back, you locked yourself in the study room day and night, refusing to eat, and tried your best to beg your father to let you go to the study room at a young age.

When you were eight years old, you raced horses with everyone. The older children rode tall horses, and you younger ones just rode horses to make up for it. No one took it seriously, but you were not convinced, and then secretly learned to ride big horses , fell bruised, but happily told Aijia that you will definitely win the first place in the coming year.

Your Majesty, the Ai family has such a son, how can you make the Ai family resist fighting for you?You blame Aijia for being so strong, why not you?You are just as good-faced as your father, and you are afraid of getting a reputation for murdering your brothers in the history books of later generations, so you want to attack the Yao family, so that people will say that it was just the Yao family and the relatives of the Ai family who exercised power, but you are A generation of Mingjun righteously killed relatives.But if you think about it, will someone say that you forced your biological mother to death again.The Ai family and the Yao family have worked so hard for you, but you will repay your kindness and revenge, and keep saying that you will kill all loyal officials for the sake of the country, the country, and your brothers who died in vain. Today, people call you a sage, and after a hundred thousand years, someone will see you—— —The hypocrisy seems good. "

The emperor looked at her in disbelief, and was about to speak when he felt a fishy sweetness in his mouth, and said suddenly: "Xiao Hai!"

The father-in-law who was guarding outside the palace hurried in and panicked when he saw this: "Your Majesty—" he supported the emperor while screaming outside, "Doctor Xuan!"

Bai Qiancao ran in almost as soon as he finished speaking, pushed the little eunuch away, picked up the emperor and put him on the soft bed in the inner hall, and ordered the eunuch to prepare things while taking out the silver needle Pricked on the emperor's acupuncture points, and supported the upper body of the emperor against his arms, in case he would choke on the coughed up blood during the semi-consciousness.

The queen mother tentatively called: "The emperor..."

Bai Qiancao said with no expression on her face: "The blood in the palace is colliding, please avoid it, the Queen Mother."

The queen mother was unwilling to leave: "It's okay, the emperor is not awake, Ai's family can't leave at ease, you don't need to take care of Ai's family, and do your things carefully."

Bai Qiancao ignored her, took the hot handkerchief wrung out by the little eunuch, carefully wiped off the blood from the corner of the emperor's mouth, then stuffed the broken ginseng slices into his mouth, and replaced the silver needles in several acupoints.

The emperor only felt a thumping sound in his ears, as if he was pressing against the chest of a terrified person.He frowned, opened his eyes slowly, and looked sideways. First, he saw a woman in a beautiful dress standing by the bed in a vain manner. He knew it was the Queen Mother, and then saw Bai Qiancao who was half-embracing him and taking his pulse. .

"I'm fine." The emperor's eyes were still dark, and he said, "please return to the palace, the queen mother."

Seeing that the matter had come to this, the queen mother had no choice but to turn around and leave, but heard the emperor say again: "Xuan Xuanying entered the palace, so he immediately took over all the guarding matters inside and outside the palace. Recently, many spies from foreign countries have poured into the capital. Little, for the sake of the queen mother, do not step out of the bedroom from now on, and the same goes for other concubines and princesses."

The Empress Dowager said abruptly, "Your Majesty—"

The emperor's voice was still a little erratic: "If there is a decree that resists and is taken together, no one will be more sympathetic than my decree."

After the Empress Dowager left, the inner hall was busy for a while, and then the silence returned.

The emperor half closed his eyes, desperately wanting to sleep.Only then do I feel better.

It's just that the pounding heartbeat was too scary, he said softly, "I want to lie down."

Bai Qiancao coaxed him in a low voice: "After a while, you still have some blood stasis and have not finished coughing up. You just drank the medicine again, and you are afraid that your breath will not go well. It will be more comfortable to sit like this."

The emperor said: "Then let Xiao Hai replace you."

On the contrary, Bai Qiancao gave a rare smile: "No matter what, I'm a doctor, and I won't have other thoughts at this moment. You don't have to avoid suspicion like this."

"You always like to hear what you want to hear, so every time I tell the truth that you don't want to hear, you all think that I have ulterior motives, and I will only believe when I tell lies." The emperor sighed and said intermittently, " I am still a patient no matter what, and I will not offend you, doctor, just to avoid suspicion. It's just that your heartbeat is extraordinarily active, which is too noisy."

Bai Qiancao said: "Eunuch Hai went to watch the medicine brewing himself. I'm just a little scared, and I'll be fine soon."

The emperor stopped talking, and continued to fall asleep drowsily.

Although she said that just now, Bai Qiancao couldn't help staring at him.Only half of his face can be seen in this posture, his brows are slightly frowned because of discomfort, as if he is secretly gritting his teeth to endure, and there are some very inconspicuous surges in his cheeks.

Bai Qiancao thought that maybe talking for a while would make him feel less uncomfortable, so she did not skillfully find the topic: "What did you have for breakfast?"

It was a while before the emperor answered him: "Eat according to the meal you arranged."

Bai Qiancao thought for a while, and said again: "The medicinal soup I mentioned last time, I added some ingredients and it tastes much better."

After a while, the emperor said: "Yes."

Bai Qiancao was able to talk, but the emperor said: "I still have some things to arrange, I'm thinking about those things, you don't have to find something to say, I can't take care of answering you."

He fell silent.

After a while, the emperor whispered again: "Xiao Jiang."

A figure came out from nowhere and said, "Yes."

"Go and talk to Xuanying, let him arrange the matter properly and come to see me. Let him arrange it carefully, if someone refuses to accept him, he can do whatever he wants, without waiting for my wishes."

"Yes."

The Queen Mother naturally refused to sit still.She returned to the bedroom, and not long after, someone came in and knelt on the ground: "The last group of people has been replaced today, and there are already Xuanying's people outside."

"No wonder he's been back in Beijing for so long, and he didn't mention leaving." The queen mother sneered, "But after all, he has ignored the imperial guards for many years, so he won't be leaking."

"Yes."

"Immediately, you're going to give Yao Kun a boost, and tell Yao Kun that the emperor is determined this time to make those stupid things pinch their tails. Don't attack Fu Nansheng. No matter what Fu Nansheng finds out, let him investigate. If Fu Nansheng wants to make trouble, let him do it. If you want to kill some irrelevant people, let him do it. As long as the emperor doesn't go to Jiangnan, Fu Nansheng and Chen Feiqing alone can't turn the world around in Jiangnan, and they dare not do it."

"Master Yao naturally listens to the Queen Mother, but Master Yao..."

"If you don't listen, let them go!" The queen mother said cruelly, "They are all side branches. If I want to die, I can't blame the Ai family for not protecting them. Tell Yao Kun, good words are hard to persuade the damn ghost, put As long as we protect the branches and leaves of our family, let him hurry up to sell the fields and houses, and fill in the escape route."

"Yes. The emperor's place..."

"The Ai family is going all out today, and the emperor is already so angry that he probably won't be able to go south in the short term. Let them wipe their butts clean at this time."

"Yes."

However, what the queen mother did not expect was that the emperor still insisted on going south after one day.
