The Way of the Consort

Later, it was Princess Fuchen who sent someone into the palace and told Zongzhen about Ji Zhao's condition in detail.

Ji Zhao was very ill. When the man entered the palace to report, Ji Zhao hadn't woken up yet. It was said that his whole body was burning hot and he couldn't even feed him water. Ji Zhao, Ji Zhao's nanny who was still in the village outside the city also rushed back.

Zong Zhen felt uncomfortable when he heard it.

He and Ji Zhao were in a natural antagonistic relationship. Logically speaking, even if it was true that he had wronged Ji Zhao this time, he shouldn't be like this, but should applaud.

But he did have some regrets.

He shouldn't have asked Ji Zhao to kneel in the yard in the heavy rain. He was even lucky at this moment. Luckily, Ji Zhao had the guts to get up and leave by himself. Otherwise, he might really kneel down today...

While regretting, he also felt that he didn't learn his lesson and was made into that kind of virtue by Ji Zhao in his previous life, so now he still feels sorry for Ji Zhao?

The worse Ji Zhao is, the happier he should be.

Even though he used to be mild-tempered, he was never indecisive, but now he was fighting fiercely in his heart, he felt sorry for Ji Zhao and despised himself at the same time, the more unhappy he was, the more ugly his complexion became.

The person who reported the letter did not dare to say more, so Zong Zhen asked coldly: "Have you ever told His Majesty?"

"The little one went to His Majesty first."

"What does Your Majesty say?"

"Your Majesty asked Senior Officer Xiang to take a lot of medicinal materials, and ordered the young one to send them to the son-in-law. He also told the son-in-law to recover from his illness, and sent several royal doctors to the Marquis' residence."

"Understood, back off."

"Yes..." The man stepped back and walked out the door respectfully.

Zong Zhen leaned back into the chair, looked down at his hands in a daze, until Bao Qing came over to change him some tea.

He finally came back to his senses, and looked at Cheng Shen: "Go for a while..."

"Yes!" Cheng Shen was very excited and waited for his words for a long time.

Zong Zhen was too lazy to argue with him, and ordered: "The son-in-law will come back when he wakes up, and take good care of him."

"Don't worry!"

"Look at what medicinal materials Curry has, and bring them over."

"I know!" Cheng Shen turned around and went out.

Zong Zhen raised his head and looked out the window at the calm night after the storm, but his heart still couldn't be calm.

The night is deep, just like his heart.

At this time, in Ji Zhao's mansion, everyone was guarding Ji Zhao regardless of everything.

Yin Ming heard some news, and didn't have time to tell Chen Xing. After returning, everyone stood by the bed together. Chen Xing cried until his eyes were swollen into carrots. It was Wei's mother who came back and scolded him. keep crying.

Later, the princess came and stayed with her all the time, and they didn't care about the affairs of the palace. Since the princess came, it meant that nothing happened.

Princess Fuchen also stayed up almost all night, and when she was extremely sleepy, she only leaned against her.

Yin Ming and the others were all worried. They still remembered that last time Mr. Lang had a high fever overnight and almost couldn't be saved. After he was fully awake, his temper gradually changed.What will happen this time?What kind of grievances did you suffer in the palace?

The Yin family doesn't believe in the idea of ​​"selling civil and martial arts to the emperor's family", and even the servants like them don't like the royal family very much.They didn't dare to express it on the surface, but they were resentful in their hearts for letting their good husband come over to be a son-in-law!

Otherwise, in this season, they are still in Yangzhou, and Mr. Lang has long lived on the mountain, enjoying the snow and flowers.In a few days, it will be Chinese New Year again, and a mountain of Kongming lanterns will be placed in Zhuangzi. How beautiful and lively it is!

Now, their lord can only lie on the bed with unknown life and death!

Of course, what they hate the most is that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who is said to have volunteered to be his son-in-law, and directly caused their son-in-law to be like this!

What is His Royal Highness the Prince!

Even Wei's mother scolded in her heart. For the sake of Princess Fuchen who was with her, Wei's mother didn't scold a few words less.

His Royal Highness, who was scolded by countless people at the same time, also stayed up all night.

At night, it rained again, mixed with snow.But the snow melted when it hit the ground.Zong Zhen explained that if Ji Zhao woke up, no matter whether the palace gate was locked or not, he would come back quickly and use his token to open the palace gate.Before Cheng Shen left, he took his token with him.

But when it was almost dawn, Cheng Shen didn't come back.

Ji Zhao had a long, long dream. He dreamed of his mother.

After his death, his mother became a monk, shaved her hair, and completely converted to Buddhism.Dad married a new wife, and their family needed an heir. Dad's new wife gave birth to a pair of twins a year later.Dad was very happy and kept laughing, but Dad secretly went to visit him in his graveyard.

Standing at his grave, Dad wept.

Ji Zhao burst into tears, looking at his father who was close but out of reach.

Dad cried for a long time before he wiped away his tears and said to "him" that he would come to see him next time and said, "Daddy hopes you will be happy in heaven."

Ji Zhao cried so much that he couldn't help himself, so he went to see his mother again.His mother had a string of Buddhist beads in her hand, and she was chanting sutras one by one. He sat beside her and listened to her chanting.

Mom's voice suddenly stopped, she looked in his direction, and called him: "Zhao Zhao?"

"I'm here!" He immediately responded loudly.

But my mother didn't hear it, but stretched out her hand to touch this side, calling his name all the time: "Zhao Zhao, Zhao Zhao, have you come to see my mother, Zhao Zhao?"

After the cry, her mother was also in tears. Ji Zhao stepped forward, trying to throw herself into her arms, but she still couldn't touch her.

He came face to face with his mother and cried together.

Later, he gradually fell asleep in the sound of his mother chanting scriptures, and he heard his mother whispering: "Mom's baby, Zhao Zhao, will be healthy and happy in the next life..."

Ji Zhao woke up crying, it was the dawn of the sky.

All those who were staring at him straightened up immediately, and called him excitedly but cautiously: "Your Majesty..."

Ji Zhao's tears flowed sideways, and through the tears, he looked at these strange but familiar people, and suddenly became very tired.

These are not his family, no.

He is not Ji Zhao, who is Ji Zhao, and who is he?

He doesn't want the next life, he doesn't want to be healthy and happy, he just wants to be with the person who loves him, even for a day, and he doesn't want to live a so-called healthy life in such an environment.He wants to go back to his parents, he will never say "hate his parents" anymore, no one wants him to kneel down there, and there are not so many inexplicable people approaching him, he has no pressure, as long as he can live one more day, he is a god The happiest thing down there.

He was wrong, he shouldn't have made such a wish to the gods.

He just wanted to hug his parents and tell them not to cry.

Ji Zhao cried so much, he didn't say a word, he just woke up crying, and he probably fell asleep again for a quarter of an hour after crying.

The imperial doctors came up cautiously, took his pulse, confessed his crimes, raised his eyes to look at him, and after some inspection, they only said that the son-in-law was afraid that he was too tired to fall asleep from crying.Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, so far, this is good news.

Mother Wei immediately got up to make food, since she was not unconscious, she must be able to feed some food in, and the imperial doctors also went to write prescriptions and decoctions.

Cheng Shen hurried back to the palace first and told Zong Zhen about it.

After hearing this, Zong Zhen asked, "Why is he crying?"

Cheng Shen secretly thought, Your Highness, you have asked this question well!It's just that he doesn't know either!

He could only say: "The little one doesn't know...the imperial doctor guessed that the son-in-law might be sick and feel uncomfortable, so uncomfortable that he cried..."

Hearing these words, Zong Zhen felt more and more uncomfortable. The discomfort went against his original intention. This layer of "violation" made him feel uncomfortable. In front of him, he said angrily: "You still not going away?!"

Cheng Shen was aggrieved and said, "I'm waiting for His Highness to order..."

"What else are you ordering? Go to the son-in-law's bed and watch!"

"Yes yes yes! The little one is gone!"

Cheng Shen rolled away immediately, thinking that His Highness is really angry!

In his previous life, Zong Zhen had seen Ji Zhao cry, although in hindsight, it was the ridiculous tears of a tiger pretending to be a rabbit.

At that time, he was really sad because Ji Zhao had a bad relationship with Fu Chen, and he ate wine with him, got drunk, told him that he felt bitter, and cried while talking.Even when Ji Zhao cried, he was very graceful, and could fall onto the scroll and make a painting.

Ji Zhao cried at that time, shed a few tears occasionally, and his eyes were red.

But according to Cheng Shen, Ji Zhao cried a lot today, with tears all over his face, without grace at all.

Crying like a baby, what does it look like.

Zong Zhen suddenly wanted to see it.

It was impossible to watch, even Cheng Shen couldn't see Ji Zhao more.

The thing is like this, after Cheng Shen left, half an hour later, Ji Zhao woke up again, this time when he woke up, he didn't cry anymore, his mind was a little clearer, and he was no longer in a dazed state. Taking the water fed by Wei's mother, leaning on Chen Xing, he saw Princess Fuchen who was full of worry in front of the bed.

Complaints about the Zong family's family are much less. No matter how you say it, Princess Fuchen is very kind and righteous, and His Majesty the Emperor is also a kind and reasonable person.

His voice became hoarse and he couldn't speak, but he smiled at her, then weakly raised his finger and pointed to his throat, indicating that he couldn't speak.

Princess Fuchen said softly: "The son-in-law doesn't need to speak, the imperial doctor also said, you should rest well and try to talk as little as possible."

Ji Zhao smiled at her again, opened his mouth, said "thank you" without making a sound.

Princess Fuchen patted her heart: "My heart can be regarded as letting go." Then she said to Mama Wei, "Mama Wei, first feed the son-in-law some bird's nest porridge, and then take medicine, don't hurt your stomach."

Mother Wei responded, took the bird's nest porridge, and was about to feed it.

Ji Zhao was sober, and he didn't have those messy moods. He just wanted to get well quickly. The illness was too uncomfortable, and he was going to wait for the feeding obediently. Suddenly, his eyes swept away, and he saw Cheng Shen coming in from outside.

He immediately frowned, Princess Fuchen followed his gaze, and she wanted to help her brother, so she smiled and said: "Cheng Shen also kept watch all night, brother sent him here, and just returned to the palace to report the news. "

She also signaled Cheng Shen to come forward to speak, but Ji Zhao said with a hoarse voice, "No, tell him to go."

what?

Everyone was dumbfounded, Ji Zhao avoided his eyes in disgust, looked into the bed, and then said with difficulty: "I don't want to, see, people from the East Palace."

"... "

Cheng Shen was still wondering until he was kicked out. As one of the chief eunuchs in the East Palace, he was really kicked out by the son-in-law? !

He was dazed for a long while, and hurried back to the palace. Zong Zhen saw that he was back again, and asked worriedly: "But what happened again?"

"Your Highness, the son-in-law has woken up and is eating bird's nest porridge. After eating the bird's nest porridge, take medicine."

"How's your spirit?" Zong Zhen asked quickly.

"I'm not in good spirits, my face is pale, and I can hardly speak, but the imperial doctor said that it's good if I can wake up, and it will always be better if I take it slowly."

Zong Zhen's heart that had been hung up all night slowly slipped, and he scolded: "Then why don't you hurry over and keep staring!"

"Uh..." Cheng Shen thought for a while and decided to tell the truth, "Your Highness, the little one was kicked out by the son-in-law..."

"Hurry up? Why did he chase you away?!"

Cheng Shen thought to himself, why are they so unpopular? Their Highnesses don't know... But they just thought about it and said that they absolutely dare not say it.

Zong Zhen asked angrily: "Speak up! Did you offend the son-in-law?!"

"Never!"

"Then tell me why you were kicked out!" Zong Zhen called Bao Qing in again, "You go to the son-in-law's house."

Cheng Shen thought for a while, and said helplessly, "Your Highness, it's useless to go to Baoqing..."

"Why?"

"My son-in-law said... he doesn't want to see anyone in the East Palace..." Cheng Shen lowered his head and finished in a low voice.

After Baoqing heard this, he immediately bowed his head together with him, not daring to lift it up.

After a moment of silence in the room, Zong Zhen asked again: "Why?"

Cheng Shen raised his head in pain: "Your Highness, think about yesterday, the rain, how heavy it was, how hard the stone slabs outside the hall were, how cold they were..."

He only dared to say this, and Zong Zhen finally understood the reason, and asked again: "How did he say the original words?"

Cheng Shen cleared his throat, imitating Ji Zhao's weak tone, and said, "I don't want to see the people in the East Palace—Your Highness, that's what the son-in-law said..."

Ji Zhao is so courageous, dare to say such a thing in front of so many people?Thinking about Ji Zhao being made to kneel by him, getting up and leaving, saying that he is not a man, this doesn't seem to be a difficult matter?

Zongzhen's face darkened for a moment, and he trained Cheng Shen again: "He told you to leave, and you left?! That's all you have?! Can't you just sit around like this?!"

Cheng Shen was wronged, and said with a bitter face: "The little one doesn't want to come back, but if the little one doesn't leave, the son-in-law doesn't want to eat porridge or take medicine. Later, even the princess urged the little one to leave, so the little one had to go... …small--"

He also wanted to say that Zong Zhen felt irritable and waved his hand: "Everyone get out..."

Cheng Shen immediately shut up, and together with Bao Qing, they rolled happily in unison and quickly.
