The meaning of Emperor Chu Cheng's expression was unclear, and the imperial physician did not dare to speculate, so he could only follow the words of Emperor Chu Cheng and answered 'yes'.

After the imperial physician retired, he discussed with the imperial physicians who jointly treated Lu Heng for a long time, and unanimously decided to treat Lu Heng with the best medicine from the imperial hospital. As for how far he can recover, it can only depend on the fate of human affairs!

Emperor Chu Cheng recently got a new favorite. The new favorite is from the south. It is as pretty as a peach in three springs, and as clear as a chrysanthemum in nine autumns.

But with Cui's lessons learned from the past, Emperor Chu Cheng no longer has a heart-to-heart relationship with his new favorite, and he will not be like Cui, as long as she wants, as long as he has, he is willing to give it.

He took his new favorite as a way to pass the time, pampering her a little before he got tired of her completely.

Eunuch Li served Emperor Chu Cheng personally. Seeing that it was time to finish the meal, he cautiously reminded him: "Your Majesty, where should we serve today's dinner?"

Emperor Chu Cheng thought of Lu Heng who had woken up but might not be doing well, and rubbed his sour nose: "Go to the Queen's Palace."

Eunuch Li quickly answered "Yes" and withdrew to let the eunuchs guarding outside go to the Central Palace to announce the decree, so that the Central Palace could prepare in advance to welcome him.

Empress Zhou guessed that Emperor Chu Cheng would come to the central palace to finish her meal when she heard the report from the imperial physician, so she ordered someone to prepare the meal that Emperor Chu Cheng liked. To make Emperor Chu Cheng feel unprecedentedly comfortable in the central palace.

Qian Momo whispered: "Madam, Mrs. Cui is still in the palace."

Cui's life can be said to be in dire straits recently. The Guanju Palace has not yet arranged for palace personnel, and she has to do her own food, clothing, housing and transportation. She has been pampered and pampered for so many years, but she still has ordinary life skills.Coupled with the intentional embarrassment of the concubines who had grievances with her, and the wanton ridicule and humiliation by the empresses of the palaces when she was forced to learn the rules, it made it difficult for her to move forward in the deep palace.

In a short period of time, Cui's whole body became thinner, and the energy between her brows became extremely sluggish.Concubine Cui Gui, who had been favored by the emperor and looked down on all the heroes in the harem, was finally backlashed, and she tasted the right and wrong of the harem.

Empress Zhou raised her eyebrows slightly, and said with a light smile: "Someone invite Mrs. Cui here, I have something to say to her."

Qian Momo disagreed and said, "Empress, the Cui family—"

If Cui Shi gets His Majesty's blue eyes again, the Central Palace will probably become as deserted as before. You must know that Cui Shi's ability to seduce the Lord is not small, if she really wants her, then it's okay?

Queen Zhou said: "Cui Shi is always Cui Men's daughter, His Majesty didn't put her in the cold palace but let her come to the Central Palace to learn the rules from me, because he is afraid of Cui Men, as long as Cui Men is still there, let Cui Shi return It will be a matter of time. Instead of letting Mrs. Cui find an opportunity to stand in front of His Majesty, it is better for me to give her this favor and give His Majesty a step."

Nanny Qian: "..."

If her mother is willing to fight for favor, who can be her opponent in Sangong Sixth Courtyard?

Qian Momo immediately sent someone to call for Cui Shi, Cui Shi was dressed in plain clothes, her face was still beautiful, but there was a bit of melancholy on her brows, making her more delicate and pitiful.

Mrs. Cui knelt on the ground respectfully, kowtowed politely: "My concubine, Mrs. Cui, pay my respects to the empress."

Empress Zhou helped Cui Shi up herself, and said with a complicated expression, "Why are you losing weight again?"

Man is a kind of particularly emotional creature. After feeling countless malice, the small and rare kindness will be infinitely magnified, and then cherished and hidden in the bottom of my heart.

At this moment, Cui's feelings were particularly obvious, she couldn't help but look up at Queen Zhou, and caught the care in her eyes.

I don't know if it's because the room is too warm, or because Queen Zhou's concern made her feel sore, her eyes filled with water unconsciously, and she lowered her head subconsciously, unwilling to show her embarrassment in front of Queen Zhou .

"My concubine, I would like to thank the empress for her concern." Cui hid her hands that were covered with frostbite in just a few days, and saluted to express her gratitude to Queen Zhou.

After a few words with Cui, Empress Zhou said straight to the point: "You have been learning the rules here for a while, and your majesty will come to my palace for dinner today, and my majesty will ask your majesty to check your study progress. "

When Cui heard this, her heart trembled uncontrollably. Even though she hated Chu Chengdi extremely, she knew in her heart that the only person who could change her current situation was Chu Chengdi.

Cui lowered her head, her dazed eyes showed a bit of firmness, her hands hidden in her cuffs were clenched slightly, she didn't want to live this kind of life that was worse than being in the cold.

Cui said in a low voice: "Empress, can I ask you why you want to help my concubine?"

Queen Zhou said: "From you, I can see myself in my youth."

Cui slowly raised her head to look at Empress Zhou, she had heard about it in her previous life.Empress Zhou and Emperor Chu Cheng were young couples, and Empress Zhou had accompanied Emperor Chu Cheng on the battlefield back then, but Emperor Chu Cheng loved beauty, and the plain-looking empress was completely ignored by him.

She thought that Empress Zhou, who was willing to follow Emperor Chu Cheng to the battlefield and disregarded life and death, must have loved Emperor Chu Cheng. She had also struggled and suffered.

However, Emperor Chu Cheng only loved beauties regardless of his sincerity, and finally made Empress Zhou feel ashamed, and completely gave up this relationship, no longer fighting or grabbing, and lived in the Buddhist family of the harem.

Seeing Cui Shi's constantly changing expression, Empress Zhou raised the corners of her lips meaningfully, no matter what Cui Shi's plan is, as long as it doesn't destroy her plan.

That night, Empress Zhou asked Cui Shi to serve a banquet, and Emperor Chu Cheng was really satisfied with Cui Shi's low-browed and pleasing appearance, so he took Cui Shi into the Qianling Palace that night.

In the early morning of the next day, the emperor's rewards entered Cui's Guanju Palace and Queen Zhou's Central Palace without interruption.Concubine Han was so angry that she dropped several precious porcelains, and then swaggered to Guanju Palace with a guard of honor to congratulate Concubine Cui in person.

When Empress Zhou heard the news, she was picking medicinal materials in the small warehouse. Last night, after Emperor Chu Cheng told her that Jinzhi had woken up, he allowed her to go out of the palace to see Jinzhi. Naturally, she would not give up this good opportunity.

Empress Zhou did not bring the queen's guard of honor with her when she left the palace. She asked people to find a carriage, and asked people to load the selected medicinal materials into the carriage. She also brought two imperial physicians out of the palace.

Having been a queen for more than 20 years, Empress Zhou has been out of the palace very few times. Looking at the scenery outside the palace now, there is a feeling that there are two skies inside and outside the palace walls, which makes her both strange and nostalgic.

After Lu Heng moved out of the Prince's Mansion, he moved into a three-entry courtyard in the east of the city. This yard was bought by the original owner before, so that he would not be homeless after leaving the Prince's Mansion.

With the token given by Empress Zhou, Lu Heng made the courtyard more airtight, and any spies who passed by his courtyard would never be able to escape his eyes and ears.

At this time, the bored Lu Heng and Rong Yao were sitting opposite each other. A chessboard was placed in front of them. The lines on the chessboard were criss-crossed. , the paper is pressed by the chess pieces, as long as the upper chess pieces are removed, the paper will float into the burning charcoal fire.

Lu Jinzhi also floated out from the jade pendant, he looked at Lu Heng, then at Rongyao, and finally his eyes fell on the chessboard, he couldn't figure it out, wouldn't it be better to make another choice?How can two people who don't understand chess know the winner?

Both Lu Heng and Rong Yao still had spare seats. After thinking about it, Lu Jinzhi drifted to Rong Yao, intending to sit beside Rong Yao.

Unexpectedly, before he floated to the position, Lu Heng looked at him lightly, the corners of Lu Jinzhi's mouth twitched slightly, and he quickly moved away from Rong Yao.

Naturally, Rong Yao noticed Lu Heng's gaze, and followed Lu Heng's gaze to look around, but saw nothing: "What's wrong?"

Lu Heng said: "It's okay."

Rong Yao stopped asking, and continued to stare at the chessboard with a sad face.

When he was young, he was also forced to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting by the old man with a stick. However, he really didn't have much talent in this area. The old man forced him to learn for two years and gave up first.

If he had known earlier that he was going to play chess with Lu Heng, he would have put in all his energy to learn.

Before the two could decide the winner, they heard the report from the housekeeper: "My lord, the empress is here."

Lu Heng deliberately lowered his voice and coughed a few times, and said weakly: "Please sit in the front hall for a while, empress, I will go to see empress after I pack up."

Emperor Chu Cheng was a suspicious person. Even if the secret guards and the imperial physician told him that the situation of the abolished prince was not good, he would guess whether he was pretending, just for him to see, and he would check again and again until the suspicion in his heart was completely dismissed.

Lu Heng wrapped a few more layers of thick clothes around his body, and then walked slowly towards the front yard with the support of Rong Yao, who turned into a guard. He walked very slowly, and every two or three steps he would stop and cough a few times He made a sound, pretending to look like someone who was seriously ill and dying.

Rong Yao held back his smile, supported Lu Heng with his hands, and patted him on the back to help him calm down. He said in a worried tone, "Young master, I'm going to find two servants, can I carry you there?"

Lu Heng shook his head with a 'disabled body and a strong mind': "I can still hold on, let's go!"

Rong Yao didn't say any more, and leaned most of Lu Heng's strength on himself, and half-armed and half-carried Lu Heng to the front yard.

Lu Heng coughed heart-piercingly all the way, as if he wanted to cough up his heart and lungs.

While walking, he whispered, "One hid behind the pillar on the porch, and one hid behind the tree in the garden. Is it the same as the one who saluted just now?"

Rong Yao was referring to the spies brought by Empress Zhou to secretly investigate Lu Heng's real situation, and Lu Heng replied, "Not bad."

As he spoke, he covered his lips and coughed a few more times. Japan was quiet in winter, and there were not many people in the mansion, so his cough could be heard far away.

Before Lu Heng arrived, Empress Zhou had already heard his cough clearly. She unconsciously clenched the hand holding the teacup, her face showing forbearance and restrained worry.

The housekeeper took two servants to serve, observing Queen Zhou and the people she brought with her without any trace.

Guards, maids, and imperial physicians.
