a pillow in autumn

Chapter 149 Disaster in the Inner Court

Pei Dongcheng, who was far away in Ruijing, was stunned when he received the letter and obituary from his home. Seeing his uneasy expression, his colleagues hurriedly helped him to sit in the shade.Liu Yunshu, the deputy head of the Imperial Hospital, poured a cup of warm calming tea, handed it to him, and said slowly, "Lord Pei."

Pei Dongcheng took the hot tea, stared at it blankly, and suddenly burst into tears.

Such a matter of filial piety and human relations, there is a custom in the court to follow.Pei Dongcheng cried for a while, reluctantly sued Ding You for leave, returned home, broke up with his wife, and the husband and wife packed up their luggage, took a few servants with them, and hurriedly set foot on the road home the next day.

Pei Dongcheng's carriage had just left the city gate of Ruijing. In front of a tea stand not far from the city gate, an ordinary-looking thin man threw a few copper coins on the oil-stained square table, turned and walked into the city.

More than a month later, a fast horse bypassed the rugged mountain road and rushed into Xijun County.

Zhou Muyu was enjoying the coolness by the green water pool in the palace, and the weather was getting hotter. A graceful woman in light tulle was sitting reclined a few steps away, playing the pipa.

Guo Mingxi came in from the outside, seeing Prince Wen squinting his eyes and still playing the tune in his hands, so he had to move over lightly.

"Master." He whispered.

Zhou Muyu didn't like to be disturbed when he was listening to Qu'er, he still half-closed his eyes, and snorted coldly, Guo Mingxi leaned into his ear and said, "News from Beijing."

Zhou Muyu lazily opened his eyes, waved his hands, the woman hugged the pipa, and retreated like flowing water with all the maids.

"What about people?"

Guo Mingxi ran outside, and within a short while, attracted a thin man in. It was the one who threw copper coins at the tea stall at Ruijing City Gate a while ago.

Zhou Muyu glanced at him indifferently, and said, "Going away?"

"Yes." The man half-kneeled on the ground, and replied concisely: "The news from the palace, Mr. Pei told Ding You to leave, and the younger one was guarding the city gate, watching him go out with his luggage."

Zhou Muyu smiled with the corners of his mouth curled up, with a look of complacency in his eyes.

After the thin man left, Zhou Muyu turned around and told Guo Mingxi: "Change someone else, and send a message to Liu Yunshu, saying that it's time for him to show his loyalty. Don't need to say anything else, and don't be too real." .”

"I understand." Guo Mingxi saluted, got up and leaned forward again, and whispered to Prince Wen: "Congratulations to His Highness, I wish His Highness the victory of the flag, and success in no time."

Zhou Muyu's chubby face was wrinkled with a smile, and he scolded: "The lonely king sees that you are flattering. Monkey spirit! Go."

Time is like running water, rushing by in the gap between the sun and the moon.The golden sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance overflows the streets of Ruijing, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching again.

Sitting behind the big table in the imperial study, Zhou Muchen approved an unknown number of memorials, he rubbed his brows.

Outside, Quan Jing'an happened to be holding the Eight Treasures Longan Soup, and came in, seeing that the emperor's face was not looking well, he hurriedly put down the lacquer plate and came forward, and pressed the button for the emperor.

"Your Majesty must be tired. Do you want to send the imperial doctor to take a look?"

Zhou Muchen closed his eyes, feeling a little relieved. He wanted to shake his head, but felt that he was indeed getting tired these days, so he said, "That's fine. Let Pei Dongcheng come to the imperial study."

"Mr. Pei's old father passed away, and he sued Ding You for leave. He went back to Haiping County, Yunzhou more than four months ago. These days are the peace pulses that the vice president asked you for." Quan Jing'an didn't dare to say that he The nobleman was forgetful, so he loosened his shoulders and said cautiously: "Look, Your Majesty, how about the envoy from Chuantai Hospital come over?"

Zhou Muchen pressed and pressed with him for a while, Fang felt a little looser, and said in a gentle voice, "That's all. It's just a trivial matter."

Quan Jing'an apologized and said with a smile: "The slightest thing about Long Live Lord is the lifelong matter of this servant. Yesterday the queen mother asked if my grandfather was sleeping well, and this servant replied that it was fine. Today, my grandfather is not feeling well." Well, I beg the Lord Long Live to take pity on this poor servant."

Zhou Muchen was taken aback when he heard that, and then he laughed loudly: "A lifelong event? What other lifelong event can you have? This word can still be used like this? I will only know today."

This word is not difficult, how can Quan Jingan not know the meaning of the word, it is just a blogger's smile when used here.

Zhou Muchen tapped him with a booklet, "Forget it. I pity you and allow you this lifelong event. Pass it to the imperial physician."

"That's it!" Quan Jing'an cheered, put his hands together, retreated to the door, turned around and went out, and only then arrogantly gave orders to the little servant outside.

In less than half a quarter of an hour, Liu Yunshu, the deputy head of the Imperial Hospital, rushed over with a small medicine box, sweating all over his head. When he entered the imperial study room, he saw that the emperor seemed to be in good health, and was eating a cup of eight-treasure longan soup. .

The longan soup was made soft, glutinous and sweet. Zhou Muchen used up half a bowl and waved his hand. Quan Jing'an immediately held it and put it aside.

When passing by Liu Yunshu's side, Liu Yunshu glanced slightly, Quan Jing'an lowered his head and did not meet his eyes.

Please be safe, Liu Yunshu took out something and asked the emperor for pulse.He pondered for a while, then suddenly asked: "Did Long Live use any fatty things yesterday?"

Zhou Muchen had a lot of time to deal with, so he couldn't remember these things, so he looked at Xiao Quanzi.

Quan Jingan hugged Fuchen and said, "Yesterday's dinner had a pigeon soup with golden osmanthus and green feathers. It was stewed with wild ginseng. I don't know if it counts."

Liu Yunshu nodded and said: "I think so." He arched his hands and said to the emperor: "Although it has entered autumn, the weather is still relatively hot, and the tigers are also in full bloom in the autumn of Ruijing. If I use too much greasy food during the season, I'm afraid it will harm the spleen and liver. Fortunately, it's only at the end of the day, and I will wait for the minister to prescribe a prescription for His Majesty, and it will be fine to disperse."

Zhou Muchen responded lightly, his eyes swept over Quan Jing'an, and Quan Jing'an immediately said: "Yes. This servant will go and explain clearly to the imperial dining room."

Liu Yunshu asked again: "I respectfully present the elixir to your majesty, will your majesty take it?"

Quan Jing Andai replied: "Yes. According to what you said, take a pill every other day. Every time you use the pill, your majesty's spirit will be better."

Liu Yunshu said: "That's good. From now on, just take another pill every two days."

Zhou Muchen raised his eyebrows and said, "Why?"

Liu Yunshu said with a smile: "This Nine-turn Ziwei Pill is originally for Your Majesty to strengthen the foundation and nourish the body, and to regulate the dragon's body. Your Majesty has been using it for two or three months in a row. I have just felt His Majesty's pulse. The medicine has been seen for the first time. It worked."

Zhou Muchen smiled slightly, and said, "Isn't that determined by taking advantage of the victory?"

Liu Yunshu raised his eyebrows and said seriously: "Everything in the world, if you have haste, you will not achieve it. I hope Your Majesty will have mercy."

On the night of Mid-Autumn Festival, the moonlight is excellent.

Zhou Muchen took Prince Zhou Yuanyu and four beauties from the harem to Qixin Terrace to watch the moon with Empress Dowager Zheng.

The concubines fight secretly, but on the surface they are more virtuous and virtuous than each other.Dressed up together today, Yingying Yanyan coaxed the queen mother and the emperor to laugh all night long.

After half a month of recuperation with a light diet, Zhou Muchen felt that his tiredness had completely healed. Tonight was a beautiful day, and it was rare to be happy, so he drank a few cups.

Among the four concubines, Concubine Wan was beautiful and affectionate, and she was the best at wide-sleeve dancing. At this time, she held the jade pot herself and poured a cup of Qiongzhen wine for the emperor.

The emperor smiled at her, held the wine cup to his lips, and drank it slowly.

Concubine Wan leaned back slightly, and said to the emperor with a blushing face: "The concubine has learned a new dance called Yueying Nishang. Today is the reunion festival, the bright moon is shining, and the concubine wants to dedicate this song to your majesty and the empress dowager. Firstly, I would like to thank Your Majesty for your kindness to the world, and secondly, I wish the Empress Dowager a happy life and a healthy life."

Zhou Muchen helped her up, and watched her summon a group of palace servants, dancing with flutes and drums.

Empress Dowager Zheng was holding Zhou Yuanyu in her arms and listening to him talk about the books that the crown prince and Taifu taught him to memorize. Hearing such words, she also raised her head to look.

She doesn't like this flirtatious woman very much, but there is only one child in the harem, Zhou Yuanyu. She wholeheartedly hopes that the emperor will flourish. It is rare to see the emperor so happy at the palace banquet tonight. The emperor rewarded him generously.

That night the emperor stayed in Concubine Wan's Bamboo Rhyme Palace. The other three concubines were aggrieved, but they didn't dare to say anything. Who would have thought that it was only mid-night when screams and cries suddenly came from the Bamboo Rhyme Palace. Voice, after a while, the human voice panicked.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!!!" Concubine Wan cried loudly, shaking the emperor's shoulder disheveledly on the bright yellow bed.

Zhou Muchen's face was like gold paper, and he remained motionless.

The entire palace panicked, and dozens of servants and maidservants ran around looking for someone.

Quan Jing'an, the chief internal officer, was not on duty, and he didn't go back to his own house during the holidays, he just fell asleep in the small room in the palace, he was stunned when he heard the small internal servant running to say a few words.

The little servant cried: "Eunuch, Eunuch Quan, what should I do?"

Quan Jing'an took a breath, immediately rolled down from the bunk, put on his shoes and ran, and asked as he ran, "Have you been passed on to the imperial physician? Hurry up, hurry up, go to the imperial hospital and find Mr. Liu, the vice-principal envoy!"

When I ran to Zhuyun Palace, several imperial physicians from the Imperial Hospital were there.In the main hall, there was a crowd of people kneeling on the ground, and all the three concubines came, but Concubine Wan was arrested and locked in a small room in the side hall.

In the dormitory, the queen mother covered her mouth, crying so hard that she couldn't speak loudly, lest she disturb the imperial doctor's pulse diagnosis.

After a long while, Liu Yunshu, the vice-principal envoy, clapped his hands and said some polite words, the queen mother reprimanded: "Don't listen to this, Ai family! Ai family only asks the emperor when the disease will be cured!!!"

The several imperial doctors who consulted looked at each other, but they didn't dare to say anything. The queen mother cried again, pointing at them and shouting: "Give Aijia a good treatment!! Treat it right away!!! If it can't be cured, the imperial hospital doesn't need to support you anymore. Come and see me!"

"My minister would like to obey Yi's decree..."

The golden-yellow fine sand in the hourglass flowed away bit by bit. Empress Dowager Zheng sat close, and when she heard the hissing sound, she felt as if she was urging her to die.

The thick ink dissipated, and the sky gradually revealed a bit of bluish white, and the little palace servants of Xixin Division walked far away outside the palace knocking on the cloud board.

Zheng Xuan looked sleepy and anxious, she rubbed her forehead and glanced at Aunt Lu, Lu'an cautiously looked into the bedroom, Prince Zhou Yuanyu knelt in front of the imperial couch to attend to the sick, several imperial physicians were talking in a low voice with the lights on.

And the emperor... the emperor took medicine, but still didn't wake up.

Lu'an turned around and shook her head lightly at Queen Mother Zheng.

Zheng Xuan looked miserable, stood up, shook her body, Aunt Lu immediately supported her, and gently persuaded: "Empress Dowager, it's better to go back to Jinyu Palace to rest for a while, take care of your phoenix body."

Zheng Xuan's tears fell again, and he cried: "What's the use of this phoenix body?! The Ai family is willing to take the emperor's illness. It is also willing to take the life of the Ai family."

Several concubines leaned over and talked all kinds of things, so they persuaded her to go to the side hall to rest.

The sky is bright.

The left and right prime ministers, grand masters, six ministers and other important officials all rushed to the palace. The situation was overwhelming, and they all knelt down in the main hall of the harem Zhuyun Palace as a last resort.The three concubines and concubines all moved to the side hall to accompany the queen mother.

Zhou Yuanyu kept watch in front of the bed all night, his little head lit up and woke him up.He rubbed his eyes and looked at the couch, and suddenly exclaimed in surprise: "Father! Father!! You're awake!"

Zhou Muchen rolled his eyes, Liu Yunshu knelt outside the couch, first looked at the emperor's face, then took his pulse, and said with a long sigh of relief: "God bless me, Your Majesty is fine for the time being."

Zhou Muchen closed his eyes, heaved a sigh of relief, and asked when he opened his eyes, "Where is the Prime Minister?"

Quan Jing'an has been waiting on the side all the time, and when he heard the question, he replied: "The two prime ministers, the grand master, and the six senior officials are all outside the hall, please Your Majesty's peace."

Zhou Muchen raised his finger, Quan Jingan took a look at Liu Yunshu, turned around calmly, and sang, "Xuan, Prime Minister Zuo, Prime Minister Right, Grand Master, and the six departments are here to see you."

The important officials filed in, and they were shocked to see the haggard face.These people have all experienced Zhou Lin's dynasty, and this situation is exactly the same as the not-too-distant year, so people are not afraid.

When Zhou Muchen heard that they had invited him, he closed his eyes again, gathered some strength, and said in a low but clear voice, "Designation, to recruit King Rui Zhou Mubai, and return to Beijing immediately."

The author has something to say: I stayed up all night again.woo woo woo.
