The Way of the Consort

After Zongzhen took four or five sips of water, he was supported by the "dumplings", and the "dumplings" who hadn't had time to jump on the boat board tried their best to rescue His Royal Highness the crown prince ashore.Zong Zhen was drenched all over, and he was barely breathing. All the boats around were watching the excitement here, discussing and guessing the reason.

The people on the boat didn't smile at all, and the boat was completely silent. If something happened to His Royal Highness, all of them would be buried with him, including——the entourage looked at the frightened son-in-law, yes, including The son-in-law cannot escape the blame.

The boatman hurriedly rowed the boat to the shore, and the entourages were all experienced. The leader knelt down on one knee, making the prince lie on his knees, flipped his legs, and patted his back lightly, patting all the water he choked into. After coming out, Zongzhen coughed and spit out water, but he didn't wake up, so the attendants beside him asked in a low voice: "What's the matter? How is it?"

Only then did the man put Zong Zhen to peace, and he didn't dare to call him "Your Highness", only dared to call him "Lang Jun" in a low voice.

Zongzhen closed his eyes, but there was no reaction. Everyone was very worried, and looked sadly at the shore which was still some distance away.

Ji Zhao, who was so frightened, came back to his senses at this moment, and suddenly rushed forward, stretching out his hand to detect Zongzhen's breath, which was very weak.

Ji Zhao paused his hand, thought for a while, yes, artificial respiration, artificial respiration!

No matter what to do afterwards, the son-in-law is still a son-in-law at this time, and they dare not tie up the son-in-law. The leader wants to stop him, but Ji Zhao has already pinched his nose and bowed his head to give Zong Zhen artificial respiration.

Of course, the ancients didn't have this kind of thing, so everyone was shocked and watched the son-in-law go to kiss the prince with dumbfounded eyes!

Ji Zhao pinched Zongzhen's nose tightly, pried open his lips, met Zongzhen's lips, and breathed lightly into his mouth.

Zongzhen was indeed dizzy, feeling light and light all over his body, as if his life was not long. In a daze, he even recalled the feeling when he died in his previous life, and suddenly noticed a hint of sweetness of pears, tempting him to taste it too , the tip of his tongue inadvertently touched something soft, Zong Zhen slowly opened his eyes.

"Wake up! Wake up! Open your eyes!" The people next to him cheered happily.

Ji Zhao heaved a sigh of relief, fell back and sat on the ground, his whole body was exhausted, as if he was about to collapse.

All the followers gathered around again, Zong Zhen only felt the breath in his mouth was still there, and then he heard the voices of many people around him, but there was no familiar voice anymore.

Ji Zhao stepped back, shrank in a corner, his eyes were a little red.

He was very sad.

"Lang Jun..." Chen Xing knelt down and looked at him worriedly.

Ji Zhao untied the snow fox fur from his body, handed it to Chen Xing, and said, "Hurry up and change his clothes."

"it is good……"

At that time, when everyone went out, the ladies and young masters would bring several clothes, just in case of accidents, and Zong Zhen also brought them, and the package was carried on the body of one of the attendants. They had quickly helped Zong Zhen change into dry clothes behind the screen. She has worn several layers of new clothes, but only one fur cape, which has been soaked in water.

Chen Xing sent Ji Zhao, and they didn't refuse, they immediately wrapped Zong Zhen up, and someone else wiped his wet hair with a dry cloth.

Zong Zhen felt the warmth, and although he opened his eyes, he looked at the top of the boat in a daze, and his attendant knelt on the ground, and whispered in his ear: "Your Highness, it's okay, we'll be there soon." The shore!"

Zongzhen didn't answer, Ji Zhaomo leaned over slowly, and said timidly, "Brother, I'm sorry..."

Zongzhen rolled his eyeballs, glanced at him, and saw that his eyes were red but intact, so Zongzhen gradually closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Ji Zhao was so frightened that he was almost paralyzed again, his attendant sniffed his breath, and said softly, "Shang Pingping..."

"Huh..." Ji Zhaoruan lay on top of Yin Ming.

After arriving at the shore, they hurried ashore and went to Ji Zhao's mansion.

Ji Zhao insisted on going back to his mansion, and the attendants had no choice but to go back to the palace like this, something would definitely happen, so let's go to the consort's mansion first!Anyway, go see the doctor first!There is a doctor in the son-in-law's mansion, which is faster than calling an imperial doctor, and the son-in-law's mansion is also closer than the palace.

On the way back home, Yin Ming went home to make preparations, and Zongzhen's people also ran to call the imperial doctor. Zongzhen didn't wake up, and he had a fever on the way.

Ji Zhao was so anxious that he didn't say a word. When he got home, he asked someone to take Zongzhen to his bedroom and lie on his bed. When the doctor felt Zongzhen's pulse, he stared at him with wide eyes and asked He had to be careful, and when the doctor went to prescribe the prescription, he slipped out of the bedroom, not daring to go in again, afraid of seeing Zong Zhen's pale face.

Chen Xing brought a new cloak and stood by the couch.

Ji Zhao came back to his senses, turned around and asked in a low voice, "Is he better?"

Chen Xing shook his head: "It's still the same, the doctor said, if you drink the medicine, it will take midnight to reduce the fever."

"Oh..." Ji Zhao huddled against the wall, stopped talking, and tears began to fall from his eyes.

Chen Xing sat on the side of the couch, put the cloak on him, and softly persuaded him distressedly: "I don't blame you, sir, you didn't know you would fall into the water, you didn't mean it, you just wanted to invite him to come with you out of kindness." tour……"

Ji Zhao put his face on his knees and cried, "But it's because I fell into the water. I shouldn't have to drag him to play with me, let alone drag him into the boat. I shouldn't play with rabbits. What kind of rabbit am I playing with! He is not in good health, he just wants to save me, he doesn't want to play on the boat at all, and I deliberately bully him..." He asked in a panic, "Doctor, you can't lie to me? He Can you really wake up?!"

"That's Doctor Bai who has been serving you since childhood. How dare you lie to you? Mother Wei also went to see it just now. Mother Wei poured the medicine herself. Both mother and doctor said that as long as the medicine can be instilled, this Your Majesty will wake up tonight!"

Ji Zhao remembered that he was sick last time, and they all said that he was so burned that he couldn't even pour medicine into it, but even so, he recovered.

This brother can still drink the medicine, will he get better?

Even so, Ji Zhao continued to cry with his mouth covered, he blamed himself to the extreme.

After Zongzhen's accident happened, he was in the son-in-law's mansion, and his attendants had already secretly gone to the street to find Bao Qing and Cheng Shen, wanting to ask for an idea, but Mr. Chen Keye and Mrs. Chen were not around. The matter around His Highness was these two high officials. The final say.

After walking the entire Suzaku Street, they still couldn't find the princess and the two high officials, so they had to keep a few people guarding the Suzaku Street, and the rest went to the nearby streets and alleys to find them.

Princess Fuchen chased "Pei Rong" and ran for half a street, and that figure disappeared, and disappeared quickly. Princess Fuchen couldn't believe that she was just blindsided, and she was still running forward. She forgot everything, only Thinking that she wanted to find Pei Rong.

Baoqing and Cheng Shen had no choice but to run along, to the entrance of the next alley, crowded with people, Princess Fuchen ran in as usual, and was bumped head-on, "I'm sorry—Princess!" The jade pendant hit Fu Chen's hand, and it hurt a little, Fu Chen regained his senses a little bit, and heard someone call her that again, so she took a closer look.

Looking at her in men's clothes, Ji Chongjin was surprised, but soon recovered, and apologized in a low voice with guilt: "I'm really sorry that I bumped into the princess."

Fuchen stood on the spot, blinked, looked at Ji Chongjin, then at the tall young man beside Ji Chongjin, she moved half a step away, and looked deep into the alley, where there was Pei Rong.

There has never been such a thing as Pei Rong, hehe, Princess Fuchen showed a bleak smile on her face.

Ji Chongjin couldn't help asking worriedly: "Princess, you—"

Fu Chen came back to his senses completely, smiled lightly, and said: "I saw a cat, it was very cute, I chased after it, and it disappeared."

Ji Chongjin believed it, and before he could speak, Ji Chongyuan beside him muttered, "I didn't see a cat running over."

Ji Chongjin glanced at him, and said to Princess Fuchen: "My brother is ignorant, so don't take offense, princess."

Princess Fuchen smiled and shook her head, looking at Ji Chongyuan: "Is this the fourth brother?"

"I've met the princess, but I can't speak. Don't be angry, princess." Ji Chongyuan saluted honestly. It was his grandfather who spoke tonight, so he could come out to play with him all night. After what happened last time, he has been very honest recently. He didn't dare to take another bite of rice, for fear that his mother would ask him to kneel in the ancestral hall for another day.

"It's okay, you are also my fourth brother, so you don't care about your brother."

Ji Chongyuan grinned, and Princess Fuchen smiled secretly. She looked like a child, but she would go to the door to raise women and frame her brother.

Ji Chongjin said: "I took my younger brother and sister out to watch the lanterns. The two younger sisters met friends and drank tea in the teahouse. The fourth brother and I came to watch and wanted to buy some lanterns for the younger sisters. Princess, but come out with the third brother? "

Princess Fuchen didn't say "yes" or "no", she just smiled and said: "You two are really good brothers, good brothers, you are so considerate to your sister and sister."

The two brothers smiled, and Princess Fuchen said: "It's a coincidence that I met you two, and I seldom come out, why don't we find a place to drink tea with the elder brother and the fourth younger brother?"

Ji Chongyuan's eyes lit up, and he immediately said: "I know there is a home, and the food is delicious! The owner of that store is old, and now he only sells stalls during festivals, which is extremely rare!"

Just as Ji Chongjin was about to scold him, Princess Fuchen smiled and said, "Okay, let's try this one, the fourth brother will lead the way!"

Ji Chongyuan glanced at him proudly, and immediately ran to Princess Fuchen, and made a gesture of invitation: "Please!"

Ji Chongjin frowned, Princess Fuchen laughed out loud, and followed him away. After walking a few steps, Princess Fuchen looked back again, with a bit of loneliness in her eyes, whether she had left.Ji Chongjin also looked back wonderingly, thinking, it must be a cat that Princess Fuchen loves very much, that's why she is so reluctant to part with it.

The followers searched several alleys and found Baoqing and Cheng Shen.

The two of them stood in the corner, listening to the guards whispering about the matter, they were both anxious and at a loss, they looked at each other, but they really didn't know what to say, their Highness, they have only met the son-in-law face to face by now Twice, I got dizzy both times... This is the real incompatibility.

The guards waited for the two of them to make up their minds.

The two of them quickly made a decision. Both His Majesty and the Princess had to keep it a secret. Instead of waiting until it was too late to be questioned by His Majesty, it is better to go back to the palace at this time and quietly ask the imperial doctor to see a doctor in the East Palace. If it is well sealed, His Majesty will not doubt it, and the princess will not know.

Besides, no matter how good the doctor outside is, it is not as reassuring as the imperial doctor in the palace.

Having made up their minds, they couldn't stay outside the palace any longer. The two of them made up a reason and went to report to the princess, saying that there was an adult who needed to see His Highness urgently, and His Highness had to return to the palace first.

Princess Fuchen knew that her elder brother had the intention to do great things in this life, so she didn't doubt it, and urged: "You two go back too, it's enough to keep the guards here, elder brother can't live without you."

The two of them pretended to decline several times before agreeing.

Leaving Zhuque Street, the two of them immediately got on their horses and hurried to the gate of Hou Mansion with the guards.

Zong Zhen was still lying on the bed, his fever had not subsided, and he was still awake.

Ji Zhao still didn't dare to look at him, and sat on the couch with his knees hugged in a daze.

Until Yin Ming came in and said: "Mr. Lang, the Hui merchant's family members have found him. Hearing that he fell into the water, they are very anxious and want to take him away."

Ji Zhao raised his head immediately, and refused to agree: "No! He has a severe fever, so he can't move any more. Let me recover before leaving!"

"The little ones said the same thing, they don't agree..."

Ji Zhao jumped off the bed and rushed to his bedroom in a hurry. When he saw that the so-called family members were actually guards pretending to be guards, the other party was very reasonable: "Our lord also heard that the Jinling Lantern Festival is beautiful, so we took a temporary boat trip I'm here, I'm going home after seeing the lights, the market will open after the Lantern Festival, and I have to be busy at home. Besides, the family is really worried. It's still in the New Year's Eve. I hope the son-in-law can understand. I'm thinking about it."

It was only then that Ji Zhao remembered that maybe this elder brother still had a wife and children waiting for him at home. Thinking of this made him feel even more sad, he had caused him so much misery.

He glanced at Zong Zhen, who had his eyes closed tightly, and finally agreed. He wanted to ask the other party's name and address, and wanted to communicate in the future.

Thinking about it again, the two of them have only met twice, and they have caused such harm to him, he is ashamed to ask.

He had no choice but to stand aside and watch the elder brother's family wrap him neatly and carefully with several layers of woolen cloaks, lift him up carefully, surrounded by a few people, and carry him out of his house without letting in a breath of wind. .

Ji Zhao followed them all the way to the door, Bao Qing and Cheng Shen were so frightened that they quickly got into the carriage.

When Zongzhen was about to be carried up, did Ji Zhao shed tears again, and he looked at those "family members" pitifully: "Can I ask for your home address?"

The guards wanted to refuse straight away, their Highness was harmed by the son-in-law, what more can they say, they all know that His Highness does not value the son-in-law as much as the rumors outside, and they are even very wary.

But when they saw the son-in-law standing at the door, looking pitiful under the lamp, with red and swollen eyes, they fell silent again.

Ji Zhao whispered, "I won't bother you, I'm just asking...I'm worried about him..."

The guards saw that if they didn't say this, they might not go smoothly. There happened to be a person from Huizhou among the guards. Their whole family had moved to Jinling a long time ago, and now it was an old slave who was looking after the house for them in his hometown. The address of the house was given.

Ji Zhao remembered it in his heart, seeing them carrying Zong Zhen into the car, he suddenly rushed over again.

Bao Qing and Cheng Shen were frightened to death, and they hid inside again, while Ji Zhao directly grabbed Zong Zhen's belt. The two of them nestled in the car, hiding in the dark, with their eyes wide open.

Ji Zhao pulled off the jade pendant from Zongzhen's belt. Because of too much force, and because the belt was loosely tied at that time, Ji Zhao tore it off together with the belt, held it in his hand, and stuffed the jade pendant on his body to " My family", seeing that I was about to cry again, said more pitifully: "When your husband wakes up, apologize to him on my behalf. If he is willing to forgive me, he must come to my house to find me. If he does not forgive me, he will not come to me. I'll go find him at your house."

"Okay..." Looking at such a son-in-law, the "family" couldn't bear not to agree.

After a lot of tossing, the guards finally got on the car, mounted the horse, and drove the car away smoothly.

Getting farther and farther away from the Hou's mansion, the "family" wiped the sweat from his head, and whispered to the two senior officials: "This son-in-law is too difficult to deal with! Look at my sweaty head!"

The two of them took it very seriously, and didn't even look at it, even their Highness didn't know what to do, and they were tortured to death again and again.
