May you live in peace

The beginning of January was not destined to be a good time for Hao Guo. Northwest wrote to the court three times in a row about paganism. Even though the content of the letter was not painful, it made many ministers realize the seriousness behind it.

Now it is the day when countries pay tribute to visit, the second princess ordered to put this matter on hold, and do the matter of visiting countries first.

I have been busy preparing for half a month, and when the Chinese New Year is about to arrive in February, everything is prepared accordingly.The visiting envoys from various countries also arrived at Hao Guo's inn. A few days before New Year's Eve, the eldest princess, who had not been to court for a long time, finally appeared in front of the minister.

In the Tai Chi Hall, the side hall of the main hall, Yin Luo realized that his sister Huang was quite tired after not seeing her for more than ten days.Even in order to welcome the envoys from various countries, Yin Xi's face was slightly powdered, and she was wearing a red and white fairy dress, which looked very dignified and elegant.But from the black eyes and slightly tired face, it can still be seen that Miss Huang has not had a good rest these days.

"Sister Huang, drink less alcohol today." Yin Luo knew that it would be unrealistic to persuade her imperial sister to take a good rest, or simply not to participate in this banquet, so she had no choice but to persuade her to drink less to avoid hurting her stomach.

"En." Yin Xi replied, but observed the envoys from various countries entering the hall from time to time.Especially Annan's envoy, Yin Xi vaguely felt that Annan would make some noise.

Seeing that Yin Xi didn't listen to what he said at all, Yin Luo only hoped that the dark guard could quickly find Gaoshan's trace.Otherwise, according to Huang Jie who is busy dealing with things around the clock to reduce the impact of the missing son-in-law on her, her body will collapse sooner or later.

"Sister Huang, do you need to invite the national teacher?" Yin Luo asked Yin Xi. After all, there are bigger banquets every year, and the national teacher will come to the scene.One is that the status of the national teacher is extraordinary. Even though the emperor is seriously ill and will not be in court for a long time, Jiao Tian'ao's influence on Hao Guo cannot be underestimated.Secondly, because of Jiao Tianao's ability and background, countries around the world will be more or less afraid of someone like Hao Guo.Therefore, Jiao Tianao's participation in the banquet was due to his own status, and secondly, he was showing the specialness of Hao Guo to other countries.

Yin Xi thought for a while, then shook her head.

Yin Luo rolled her eyes, remembering the scene of seeing Jiao Tianao more than ten years ago, with her white hair and extremely weak face, she has not mentioned this to Sister Huang yet.

"Sister Huang, I..." Yin Luo just wanted to talk to Yin Xi about Jiao Tianao, when Xiao Huangmen, who was waiting outside, trotted in.

"The eldest princess, the second princess, the guests and ministers have all arrived."

Yin Xi nodded.

"Is the King of One Word here?"

"Princess Hui, I have arrived."

"Go down."

Yin Xi looked at Yin Luo after the little yellow gate exited the palace gate.

"Did you have anything to say just now?"

Yin Luo shook his head and replied: "No rush, let's go to the front hall first, so as not to wait too long."

Yin Xi nodded, and the two walked towards the front hall through the side door

And when they had just left the Taiji Hall, a woman dressed as a court lady stayed at the gate of the hall for a while, and she seemed to be looking for someone.When she saw the familiar red figure, she finally fixed her eyes slightly.

'It's been a long time, but Xi has lost a lot of weight, and the little bit of flesh he raised a little before is too thin to be seen. '

The woman didn't dare to stay like this for too long, she just stared deeply at the figure for a while, then left with the bamboo basket in her hand.

Yin Xi felt a familiar and nostalgic look around him all the time, turned her head slightly, and looked at the location of Tai Chi Hall.There was only a figure in a light blue court lady's costume, which disappeared after turning into the arch, and suddenly felt that something was missing.

Such a figure is very familiar, and she feels very familiar to himself.

"Queen, what's the matter?"

Seeing Yin Xi staring at the arch not far away thinking about something, Yin Luo couldn't help asking.

Yin Xi shook her head and continued walking towards the front hall.

"Luoer, the palace recently recruited new people?"

Yin Luo was taken aback, what kind of question is this?

"The palace usually recruits people. If there are not enough people in each palace, the eunuch will recruit some slaves. Why does the emperor ask such a question?"

Yin Xi just shook her head, of course she knew these things, but, that figure just now was recruited by that palace, why is it so familiar?

"Did the Tai Chi Hall recruit newcomers recently?"

Seeing that Sister Huang didn't seem to be bringing up this topic casually, Yin Luo told her some things he knew.

"No, Chengming Palace and Longevity Pavilion have recruited some staff, and Tai Hospital has recruited a little maid who decocts medicine. There seems to be no others."

Since the death of the queen, the emperor dismissed the harem, and the palaces were almost empty.Only a few palaces are used for other purposes, and there are slaves for the time being, and almost no one lives in the others.

"Emperor Hospital?" Yin Xi looked to the southwest. The Imperial Hospital is quite busy now. After all, the emperor has been in a coma for so long and can't find a way out. The imperial doctors are more or less anxious.

"Ah."

Yin Xi saw that he had already arrived at the front hall, so he was not asking any questions, after all these matters belonged to the priest, if there was anything else, let Luo Er ask about it.

In Jinhua Hall, Gao Shan looked at the entrance of the main hall, which had been strengthened again, lowered his head slightly, and entered the door with a medicine bowl in his hand.

"Who?" A guard in black armor stopped Gao Shan, but Gao Shan didn't speak, but stood there, waiting for someone to explain to her.

"It's okay, let her go in, one of Zhang Yuyi's subordinates." The other guard who looked at the slightly older Xuanyi didn't ask any more questions when he saw that Gao Shan was the new maidservant for decocting medicine.

The guard in the black armor took another look at Gao Shan. He vaguely felt that the person in front of him was not simple. Her steps were steady. The maid will do some tricks.

"Xiao Gao is here, why don't you hurry up and delay the time for the emperor to take medicine later, how can you take care of it?"

Doctor Zhang passed by and happened to see Gao Shan standing at the door. Seeing that the new guard had been looking at Gao Shan for a long time, he hurried forward to resolve it.

"Guard Well, this is a distant relative of the old man's family, because she is clumsy and not easy to communicate with others. But fortunately she is quick in her hands and feet and has done hard work, so the family entrusted me to take care of her and sent her here to be a maid for decoction .”

Zhang Yuyi stepped forward and handed several jugs of wine in his hand to the old guard who started to speak for Gaoshan. This man is addicted to alcohol, and it is easier to get away with it if he uses wine to seduce him.

Sure enough, when the old guard saw the wine in Doctor Zhang's hand, he immediately aroused the wine worm.Now he has been guarding this palace gate for more than five months, and he is not allowed to leave without authorization. His alcohol addiction has long been committed.Seeing the wine in the imperial doctor's hand, it looked like an old wine, and there might be some herbs in it.So, he said impatiently to the new guard.

"Enough is enough, let them in, I will take care of what happens if something happens."

Seeing this, the new guard had no choice but to take a step back, looked at Gao Shan who followed behind Doctor Zhang, and then glanced at the old guard who hid the wine, his eyebrows frowned.

In the Jinhua Palace, Doctor Zhang took the medicine bowl from Gao Shan, and said to her with his hands clasped.

"Sorry, I was in a hurry just now, and I didn't intend to offend."

Speaking of which, Gao Shan also came to Jinhua Palace to help him for more than ten days.More than ten days ago, the Prime Minister of the Left, Fan Hao, came to him and said that he wanted to arrange this girl surnamed Gao into the Jinhua Palace.At first he was a little curious, not understanding what Zuo Xiang was doing.But he said that this was what the eldest princess meant, and besides, he only needed to give this girl a chance to enter the hall, and he didn't need to dress Yin Ran in the inner clothes, so he wouldn't embarrass him.Doctor Zhang heard that it meant the eldest princess, and he also knew that Prime Minister Zuo was a clear and noble person.In addition, he is the eldest princess' uncle, and he can be regarded as a relative of the state. He is also very good to the eldest princess, and he should not do anything, so he agreed.

When he observed Takasugi, he was a little surprised. Although this girl doll has been specially dressed, and her face has lost a lot of color, but there is a trace of heroism and sword spirit in her brows, which can be seen as a child practicing martial arts.In addition, although she restrained her temperament, her every move, as well as the conversation with the left minister Fan Hao who treated her with great respect, made Doctor Zhang realize that this little girl is not very simple.

"The imperial doctor is too polite. You are an elder, and I am a junior, so I dare not accept this great gift." Gao Shanxu helped Zhang imperial doctor up, and then said, "Besides, I would like to thank Zhang imperial doctor for his rescue."

Doctor Zhang waved his hands as an excuse, and the two of them didn't continue their excuses, but walked to Yin Ran's bedside.

There were no other eunuchs and maids in the Jinhua Hall, and the eldest princess dismissed everyone, leaving only Imperial Doctor Zhang and the apprentices he had brought.Not long ago, the apprentice fell ill, so only Doctor Zhang was here to take care of him.

Gao Shan's arrival helped him a lot. Seeing that the child took the initiative to feed Yin Ran with medicine, Doctor Zhang couldn't help frowning when he saw that the emperor's complexion was getting better day by day.

'Your Majesty, why don't you wake up?What are you planning? '

"Doctor Zhang, Doctor Zhang." After two consecutive voices, Gao Shan awakened Doctor Zhang's mind.Seeing Gao Shan signaled him to go to the side hall to talk, he nodded and walked to the next door.

"Doctor Zhang, the emperor has already woken up, right?"

Doctor Zhang was taken aback for a moment, not understanding why she suddenly asked this question.

"Do not be surprised by Doctor Zhang, I am not trying to murder His Majesty's people." Gao Shan turned his eyes and asked a question.

"May I ask Doctor Zhang, are you facing His Majesty or the Eldest Princess?"

Zhang Yuyi didn't expect that since this little girl asked such a rebellious question so bluntly, she didn't know how to answer it for a while.

"I want Imperial Physician Zhang to show his loyalty, but Imperial Physician Zhang should understand that His Majesty has never been in a coma."

Doctor Zhang was stunned again, and couldn't help but look at her in shock. He only made this guess. Who is this child?

"who are you?"

Seeing the change in his eyes, Gao Shan was just a little more defensive, and didn't intend to call out, so he couldn't help but feel relieved.

"The Prime Minister Zuo said it, and I said it too, I am indeed the eldest princess's man."

Doctor Zhang's eyes would change slightly when she saw that she was talking about the eldest princess. He lowered his head and thought for a while before he said solemnly.

"The old man guessed that His Majesty was not unconscious not long ago. His complexion is getting better and stronger, and his pulse is strong. He should wake up. However, this old man does not know why His Majesty has not woken up."

"Doctor Zhang knows."

Doctor Zhang raised his head and looked at Gao Shan with some confusion.

"Doctor Zhang doesn't need to be so cautious."

"Actually, I didn't come to Jinhua Palace to get close to His Majesty. After all, the guards are waiting outside, and I have to leave at night. Therefore, I need to trouble Dr. Zhang with something."

Doctor Zhang looked at the female doll who had always been respectful to him. For some reason, he felt that this female doll always gave him a very familiar feeling.Her occasional every move would give him the illusion of chatting with the eldest princess.

"Why do you think I'll help you?"

"Because I know that Imperial Physician Zhang was originally an imperial physician who was awarded by Emperor Wu during Emperor Wu's time. You don't want the former emperor's country to be destroyed in His Majesty's hands."

Doctor Zhang once again looked at her in disbelief. When he was still young, he had already been appreciated by the late emperor's father, that is, the then Emperor Wudi.As a result, he became the youngest imperial physician of the year.However, Emperor Wu died shortly after his reign, and the first emperor treated him well, and still made him the head of the imperial hospital.However, he has always kept a low profile on weekdays, and almost no one knew about his past affairs. Unexpectedly, this little girl knew these things.Moreover, since she said so rebelliously and directly that His Majesty would ruin the country.Doctor Zhang quickly went to the window and the screen to look around, closed the door and window before returning.

"Little baby, don't talk nonsense."

"Doctor Zhang, don't worry, I know there is no one around."

Doctor Zhang moved his shoulders, thinking that he was already old and would still be involved in these court disputes, so he couldn't help but sigh.

Yes, this little girl is quite right.He has gone through three generations, and he can be regarded as a veteran of the three dynasties. He also knew a lot of the truth about the fight between the crown prince and His Majesty for the throne.Now, His Majesty is pretending to be unconscious, which is undoubtedly a big trouble for Hao Guo and the eldest princess.However, His Majesty didn't want to wake up, and as a subject, he didn't dare to do anything.However, he didn't want to see Hao Guo in danger, nor did he want to see the eldest princess in danger.

"Tell me, what do you need me to do?"

Gao Shan's eyes lit up, and he bowed first to express his gratitude.

"Actually, it's not a big deal. I just hope that Doctor Zhang will pay more attention at night. Your Majesty is not the only one in the Jinhua Palace."

Doctor Zhang felt that his old heart might be a little bit stimulated today, is it not just one person?Could it be that there are others here?

"Yes, His Majesty's bedroom has been visited countless times. I hope Imperial Doctor Zhang can pay more attention to His Majesty's palace at night."

Doctor Zhang was silent for a while, as if digesting these things.Could it be that His Majesty didn't wake up, and someone rushed into the Jinhua Palace at night, is this the way His Majesty used to plan.

"Okay, the old man will pay more attention."

Seeing that Doctor Zhang agreed, Gao Shan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.Now, she just needs to figure out how to sneak into the Jinhua Palace at night, and it's best to be able to bump into that person, maybe he is Yin Pan.

Gao Shan chatted with Zhang Yuyi for a few more words, and saw that the guards outside wanted to come in and ask Gao Shan why he didn't leave.Gao Shan bowed to Doctor Zhang and prepared to leave.

"Little girl, I wonder if this old man knows who you are?" Doctor Zhang lowered his body and asked.

Gao Shan thought for a while, then smiled and replied in a low voice: "The princess is the closest person."

Seeing that figure leave, Doctor Zhang still hadn't recovered. Shouldn't the closest person be the Prince Consort?
