Fake concubine, real queen
Chapter 92
The air was silent.
The midday sun poured into the lobby from the open door of the medical hall, and fell on the half of He Gu's face that was facing the light, reflecting even more the twitching of the corners of his mouth, making him look extremely embarrassed.
Yan Zhiya: "..."
After a long time, He Gucai said: "...I am a man."
After a pause, he said again: "... Xi... Xi Mai, how is this possible, the girl really knows how to joke."
Yan Zhiya: "..."
Of course she also knew that He Hou Ye was a man, but she had a doctor's visit just now, and she still couldn't believe it. After a second visit, it was still the same——
He Gu's pulse is smooth and smooth like a rolling ball. Although it is true when young and middle-aged people are full of qi and blood, and a woman's slippery pulse is the sign of vigorous qi and blood to nourish the fetus, but He Gu just said that he has recently had a cold stomach and lethargy, I can't swallow my food, I feel like throwing up when I have nothing to do... This is...
Yan Zhiya coughed dryly, and said: "Cough... Well, I didn't say that Lord Hou is pregnant, I just said that Master Hou's pulse, it...he really...just...cough..."
I can't say anything after that.
There is no other reason, the eyes of He Gu and Zhengye staring at her are really a little scary.
Yan Zhiya swallowed her saliva, touched her small pulse pillow a little timidly, and said in a low voice: "Or...or I am not good at medicine, I am not good at learning, and I don't know if I made a wrong diagnosis. Don’t just pretend I’m talking nonsense…”
That's right, she must have conceived the sequel of "Those Years I Were My Brother" recently. The idea was crazy, so she blurted out, saying that Lord Hou has a happy pulse. .
But... it stands to reason that young and middle-aged men have slippery pulses, which are mostly gentle and powerful, while pregnant women are slightly different. Although slippery, the pulse beats faster. The pulse of He Houye just now is clearly the same as the one she had in the past. The pulse of a normal man is not the same, but it is more consistent with the pulse of a pregnant woman...
Although Yan Zhiya thought of these words in her heart, she was really puzzled, but she really didn't dare to say it, she could only hold it in her stomach, and kept silent.
After all, no matter what, Lord He Hou is also a man...
How can a man be happy?
He Gu was still in shock, Yan Zhiya was pondering over a thousand things in her heart but dared not speak out, but Zhengye's thoughts and concerns were very clear, and he suddenly asked without thinking, "Then... ...How long does Miss Yan think this pulse has been?"
Yan Zhiya scratched his ears, looked at He Gu's expression, saw that he was dazed, and didn't seem to be very angry, so she dared to answer in a low voice: "...About a month or two? I... I have medical skills I'm not good, and I dare not say..."
It took He Gu a long time to finally recover from the shock and disbelief, only to feel what Yan Zhiya said...
Absurd!nonsense!Absurd!
This time, when I heard that Yan Zhiya and Zhengye had been discussing his "happy pulse" in such a serious manner for several months, I couldn't help but suddenly changed color, and almost became angry and scolded: "What the fuck... what is it?" Two months, I'm a man, how can I have a happy pulse, it's nonsense!"
Miss Yan looked at He Xiaohou's incompetent and furious appearance, that white and tender face with Chinese characters, which had always been an old god, finally showed a rare embarrassment at this moment, she coughed dryly and looked away, pretending to look at the scenery and said: "Uh... Hou Ye... What Hou Ye said is, I think I must have made a wrong diagnosis, or... I don't need to take it seriously... Cough..."
Zhengye listened to Yan Zhiya's answer from the side, but his expression was a little complicated, he looked thoughtful, after a while, he suddenly raised his head to look at He Xiaohou, who blushed anxiously, had thick neck, eyebrows and eyes .
He Gu felt that he was looking at him, turned his head and saw that Zhengye's eyes were very speechless, with hesitant to speak written all over his face.
He Gu felt uncomfortable being watched by him, frowned and said, "You... what are you looking at!"
At this moment, Lord He Xiaohou looked anxious and completely annoyed, but if he was familiar with him like Zhengye, he could see that he was restless at the moment, flustered rather than angry.
As for the reason, He Gu knew it in his heart, Zhengye had been following him all the time, knowing his daily schedule and who he was with, so he naturally knew——
Since Fu Ling returned to the capital, His Royal Highness Ke and Lord Hou have met from time to time, and even talked at night by candlelight, talked all night long, and talked again and again... In short, the two of them spent the night together, but there was no shortage...
Although Zhengye had some doubts in his heart before, he never dared to ask, and naturally he didn't know what the relationship between the two of them was, but today he knows...
Although Zheng Ye is dull, but he is familiar with Miss Yan, Yan Zhiya is an iron rooster, when Beijing Central Huichun Hall was open, Miss Lan Xiao was also responsible for the accountant's work, and it was Yan Zhiya and Chun who went to see a doctor, buy and dry medicinal materials. The two girls, Tong, did it by themselves, manpower is precious in Beijing, Yan Zhiya was reluctant to hire a helper, and as for the heavy physical work of moving boxes and cages, Zhengye was asked to go to the medical clinic to do it for him.
Zheng Ye has a dark heart, so he is naturally very attentive, responsive to requests, and never refuses.
Since they met like this, he naturally read the scriptures written by Miss Yan...
If Lord Hou and His Royal Highness King Ke have that kind of relationship, they are in love with each other, and if they are alone and widowed, they will spend the night together, then a fool will think that the two of them are still innocent.
Zhengye looked at He Gu with complicated eyes, and glanced at Miss Yan next to him from the corner of his eye, then suddenly turned to Yan Zhiya and said, "...Don't blame me, girl, I have something to say to Master Hou, please stay with me for a while."
Then he dragged He Gu to the door, but fortunately there was no one on the street, so he whispered to He Gu: "Then what... lord... before you leave... er... are you... and the prince... Talking all night...?"
He Gu: "..."
He Gu is not stupid, naturally he understood immediately when he heard it, he knew where Zhengye was thinking, and also guessed what he meant by asking this question.
He Gu's cheeks trembled, and it took him a long time to grind his molars, and he said angrily, "What the hell has something to do with it?"
Zhengye: "..."
He wiped away the saliva sprayed on his face by Master Hou who was so ashamed and angry, and was silent for a long time before he finally had the courage to speak boldly and said, "But... but Miss Yan has superb medical skills, how could she be wrong?"
He Gu: "?"
This guy's trust in Miss Yan can even make him ignore that he is a man, right? ?
He Gu couldn't bear it anymore, and said: "...it's all messed up, it's really nonsense!"
Turning his head and walking back to Yan Zhiya's side, he didn't hear Miss Yan's "Mr. Hou is happy", I don't know whether it was a surprise or a shock diagnosis, exchanged a few perfunctory greetings, and quickly ran away with Zheng Ye up.
Yan Zhiya yelled countless times from behind, but she didn't stop at all, only half of the back of Master He Xiaohou was seen leaving quickly.
She sighed, held on to the door frame of the medical center, rubbed her chin, and muttered to herself, "I shouldn't have made a mistake...?"
Yan Zhiya's diagnosis was correct, and it will be clear soon.
There are two flowers blooming, one for each branch. The Kunqiong Mountain camp here is calm and calm, and the days are passing without waves, but in Bianjing City, it is a different scene.
The thunderstorm of the emperor's liquidation of the Song Party finally came to an end, it was the first rest, and all the officials secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, no matter whether it will involve me or not, but up and down, there is always such a jittery and silent atmosphere in Beijing, which is really hard to bear. On weekdays, when the big guys say a word on the street, they are afraid that there will be plainclothes next to them The twelve guards squatted, fearing that one of them might be labeled as a factionist.
Since the emperor ascended the throne, he has always been lenient and benevolent. There has never been such a day. How can all the officials get used to it?
Naturally, with His Majesty's disposition, such a thing could not have been done at all, but the bad came from His Majesty, who actually handed over the task of tracking down the Song Party to King Zhong Bing...
If this job is given to someone else, no matter because of the relationship between the Song family and the East Palace, or because of the intertwined interests of the involved officials, big and small, it is inevitable that they will be sympathetic and dare not take the job. Things are done too harshly and too ruthlessly. After all, being an official pays attention to one's reputation, being too strict will definitely offend others and affect your future career...
But when it was handed over to King Zhong, he didn't have such worries, and there was probably no one in the whole court who could hope for the prince to have bad luck sooner than King Zhong.
He was in charge of the Twelve Guards in the past, and he was dismissed because of the New Year's Eve palace banquet. Now that he has regained the trust of the monarch and his father, and the power is back in his hands, he is naturally gearing up and full of energy. Let's clean up all the chickens and dogs.
And His Highness the Crown Prince needs to avoid suspicion, so naturally he can't interfere in this matter, so those officials being targeted by His Royal Highness Zhong Wang are also ineffective every day, so they have to ask for more blessings.
It is said that it is the Song Party, but everyone knows that the Song family is from the Eastern Palace, and all are prosperous and all are damaged. Seeing that the line of civil servants who supported the crown prince was greatly injured by His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness has not yet A little bit of preparation meant to stop, and he even reported to Junfu at the court meeting that the errands had not been completed, and it would take time for him to investigate those corrupt officials who pulled out radishes and brought out mud.
Fortunately, these days, His Royal Highness King Ke is in charge of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Punishment. At the end of the year, there are many trivial matters. It is necessary to outline the dead criminals who need to be executed in the spring of next year, and to lighten the records of the prison officer for one year. With the spring flood next year, there will be insufficient manpower. His Royal Highness King Zhong took the twelve guards to the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Punishment to catch cats and dogs all day long.
Everyone knows that His Royal Highness King Ke has always been diligent and diligent in handling government affairs. He doesn't care who is in the same party with whom, and who is involved with whom. As long as he can handle the errands arranged well and beautifully, he will never A lot of troubles, on the contrary, if it affects the errands, he doesn't show any sympathy. An old servant at the head of the Ministry of Industry has worked for more than [-] years. His hair and beard are all gray, because he was delayed several times to repair the river. , was also held accountable by him in front of all the ministers of the Ministry of Industry and Yamen.
So the ministers and workers made up their minds, thinking that they were sure of His Royal Highness Ke's temperament, and complained to him about their difficulties.
As expected, His Royal Highness King Ke did as they wished. On the second day, he spoke bluntly at the court meeting, saying that the affairs of the Song family have been complicated these days, and that the case of the Song family should come to an end. If the investigation continues, it will be detrimental to the stability of the court.
If others say this, they will inevitably feel guilty and anxious to get rid of the crime, and they will offend the narrow-minded second prince, but His Royal Highness Ke does not have this trouble, and His Royal Highness Ke is an honest person, presumably he will not care about offending Second Prince's.
What's more, he's still a brother. His Majesty is still here, so what can the Second Highness do to him?
After hearing this, the emperor really pondered for a moment. After a while, although his expression faded, he agreed with King Ke's statement. This major corruption case that caused a sensation in Jiangluo and involved Jinghua finally came to an end.
After this incident, His Royal Highness King Ke has formed a good relationship. In the hearts of many people, he has become a kind and generous king who does not hesitate to offend his elder brother and father, and also speaks out for innocent courtiers.
The prince never took any action, but saw everything in his eyes.
After the court meeting that day, he went to see the emperor's father again, and this time he was not turned away, and he was able to see the emperor's father.
There is a small garden outside the Lanzheng Palace. Although the area is not large, it is under the eyes of the emperor and can be seen every day. The palace servants who tend the flowers and plants are naturally extraordinarily meticulous and dare not neglect at all.
In the past, the emperor always sat in the hall of government affairs and didn't come out very often. Recently, he didn't know why. Maybe it was because he was getting older, and when he was finally tired, he would start to doze off and be lazy frequently when he was dealing with government affairs like a mountain. Only then did he begin to be willing to come out to enjoy the garden scenery, and even tended the flowers and plants himself.
When the prince arrived, Junfu was wearing casual clothes, squatting in the garden digging soil for a plant.
The prince was taken aback, and immediately frowned and reprimanded the attendant next to him: "It's really lazy! How can you let the emperor do such a thing in person, the person who takes care of the flowers and plants?"
Zhai'er was standing on the side, and the pot came from the sky. He was startled by the prince's yelling. He knelt down and kowtowed in fright: "It's not...it's not that the servants are lazy, it's...it's..."
The words came to his lips but he couldn't continue. After all, His Royal Highness blamed him, and Zhai'er felt that if he immediately shirked responsibility and said that His Majesty wanted to do this, His Royal Highness might be even more angry.
...but the truth is true.
In a moment of urgency, my forehead almost broke out in sweat.
Fortunately, the emperor straightened up at this time, raised his hand to wipe the thin sweat from his forehead, and said: "I did it myself, Yuan'er don't blame them."
Pei Zhaoyuan quickly bowed his head and said in a respectful voice: "Father, with a body of ten thousand chariots, how can you do such a thing? It's cold in winter, and my son shouldn't talk too much, but... just seeing Father working so hard, I'm really worried. "
The emperor said: "These flowers are delicate, and the snow will fall in two months, and they can't stand the severe cold. They need to be moved back to the house now, so that they can survive next year. I just dig the soil, and it doesn't take much money." What's the trouble?"
Then he said to the little servant next to him: "You step back first."
Zhai'er nodded yes, and hurriedly backed away with small steps.
For a while, only the emperor and the prince and his son were left in the court.
The prince said: "I came to see it first, and I was still wondering why the flowers are of the same kind, but the flowers here bloom so well, better than anywhere else in the palace. It turns out that the emperor took good care of them, so naturally they are better than the flowers." A hundred times elsewhere."
The emperor said: "This is all physical work. I just do it when I think about it, so that I can relax my mind and save myself from remembering all the messy things in the court all day. Compared with that, it's really easy." .”
The prince said: "Father is tired."
It is not without reason that he came to see Junfu today, but at this moment the prince always felt that Junfu seemed to have something to say today, he was not sure what the emperor was thinking, and did not dare to speak rashly.
The emperor didn't know what he was thinking, he clearly knew that the eldest son came to see him, and he probably had something to ask, but he deliberately didn't mention it, he just said: "Growing flowers is the same as raising people, you have to be careful, and you need to loosen the soil. In order to prevent the soil from congealing too hard, it is not conducive to the growth of flowers and plants."
Speaking of this, he suddenly stopped. As for the saying "growing flowers is the same as raising people", I didn't go into details about raising people, as if it didn't mention it at all.
The prince's heart suddenly twitched, his eyelids began to twitch, his teeth clenched tightly, and finally he gritted his teeth immediately and knelt down in front of the emperor with a plop.
When he knelt down so suddenly, the emperor was not surprised when he saw him, but just looked at his slightly trembling back and the top of his head with downcast eyes.
The crown prince didn't seem to care about the dirt on the ground, he just kowtowed heavily at the emperor, and said in a muffled voice: "I also ask the emperor to calm down, my son... I know I was wrong."
The emperor said indifferently: "Why, you are so good, you suddenly came here to confess your mistake to me, and I never blamed you for anything."
The prince bowed his head and said: "Father did not blame, but also agreed to the request of the third younger brother. It is the father's generosity to the son. The son is grateful and dare not forget it easily. It is just that the heart is always restless, so... today , I came here today to plead guilty to my father."
The emperor said: "Your third brother has a solid eye. He played at the meeting, not to plead with anyone, but because he was afraid of delaying the business, do you understand?"
The prince said: "My son... my son understands."
The emperor said: "Although there is indeed a way for a ruler to control his subordinates, he should not indulge villains and indulge treacherous men for the sake of gaining friendship for a while. If such evil spirits are rampant, how can the government survive? At that time, the country will not be the country, and the king will also be defeated." I know that Yuan'er promoted Song Yinian because he took into account that his father had been an official in Jiangluo for many years. If he was promoted, Jiangluo's officialdom would be strengthened and it would be easier to govern. However, you never thought that raising a tiger would eventually take Afflictions and big tails must not be lost. Although a person like Song Yinian can indeed stabilize Jiangluo for a while, he is greedy and insatiable. To maintain this stability, how much will he have to pay for it? If things go on like this, how can Jiangluo not be born? Suffering?"
"If Yuan'er only has stability and checks and balances in his mind, it will not be enough for him to ascend the throne in the future."
Pei Zhaoyuan's eyes turned red immediately after hearing Jun's father's words. Although he didn't know whether it was true or because his acting skills were realistic, in short, he really shed tears, and he looked very sincere and did not seem to be fake.
The prince's voice trembled slightly, and he said in a low voice: "Father and Emperor's teachings, I will remember them all, and I will definitely learn from them in the future, and be careful again and again."
The emperor let out a "hmm", chatting seemingly unintentionally: "Recently, there have been some messages in the market, saying that when I cleaned up the Song family, I wanted to clean up you, and said that I have the heart to waste the savings..."
He snorted, shook his head and said: "...It's all nonsense. I didn't want to answer it, but I was worried that Yuan'er listened too much. Since you are here today, I will tell you that I have no such intentions. Don't let these groundless suspicions ruin the relationship between you and my father and son."
The prince's back suddenly froze. If he hadn't lowered his head at this moment, the emperor could see his suddenly constricted pupils and slightly opened mouth.
It's not that Pei Zhaoyuan made a big fuss, it's really that since he mentioned his biological mother, Empress Chen, which angered his father, Long Yan, and was imprisoned for half a year, the emperor treated him much worse than before. Although others don't know, but such a thing One knows the temperature of drinking water, Junfu's attitude is at least more than three points colder, and the errands given to him are not as detailed as before.
Whether the emperor has the intention of abolishing the reserve, not to mention others, even Pei Zhaoyuan himself is full of uneasiness, ups and downs, and he can't guess what the emperor's father is thinking.
With such an attitude, let alone being so frank and frank like today, telling him that he has no intention of waste.
Hearing what he said suddenly now, Pei Zhaoyuan's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and a huge joy hit his heart. He sucked his nose, and this time he really said in a nasal voice from the bottom of his heart: "My son... My son Thank you, Father, for your generosity and trust..."
The emperor sighed lowly, put his wrinkled hands on the crown of the kneeling prince's hair and stroked, and said, "You are actually the one who resembles me the most... that's why I'm so worried about you... Ask others to lead you to the wrong path..."
The prince was stunned for a moment, with tears in his eyes, and when he looked up, he forgot to see his father's cloudy and focused eyes looking at him.
"Father...you..."
The emperor whispered: "Now that I have taken care of the Song family, does Yuan'er think that I am the one who took care of you? I tell you, that is not the case. What I want to control is not you, but the Chen family, and Chen Yuanfu." .”
The prince's pupils shrank slightly, and his words were a little awkward, before he said after a while: "This... this... uncle... he didn't..."
The emperor said: "You don't have to say anything, I know what Yuan'er is going to say."
"The Chen family is your natal family. It is understandable for Yuan'er to be close to them, but you are still young now. Yuan'er doesn't know how I came here and how I got this great treasure..."
The emperor's fingertips stroked along the arc of the prince's hair. The speed was just right, and the strength was neither light nor heavy, but it was just enough for Pei Zhaoyuan to feel the rare warmth of his father.
The emperor sighed lowly: "Flowers need to loosen the soil, and my Yuan'er is not the flower I want and must be cultivated most carefully. I don't want you to be like me in the past, with nowhere to grow and place leaves. People are holding back, but as the Son of Heaven, you have to rely on others, and you can't help yourself in everything."
"Yuan'er... I... I'm old too. You can see it these days. My health is already very bad. I cough every day, and it doesn't get better after taking medicine... I'm still sick again. How many days can it be?"
The prince's heart was beating violently, and he stared blankly at Junfu's dazed eyes with sighs, a touch of warmth and worry——
Suddenly, and for the first time, I felt a little sore nose.
It turns out...the royal father...it's not that he doesn't care about him.
Pei Zhaoyuan sniffled, and there was silence in the court. After a while, he suddenly hugged Father Jun's thigh. This time, he couldn't restrain the tears in his words, and said in a trembling voice: "Father...Father...is my son?" The minister is not filial, it is the son who is stupid... the son..."
The emperor touched the top of his head, closed his eyes, and said in a low voice: "...I'm afraid that time is running out. Back then I managed to get Chen Tingduan down. He covered the sky with one hand for so long... Now he My son actually wants to go the same way he did back then, trying to control my son, how can I tolerate it, watching him bully me, Yuaner was young and ignorant, and use you in a different way to turn the entire court into his Chen family's back yard?"
"I... how can I bear it?"
The prince hugged the emperor's leg, without saying a word, but wept endlessly.
The emperor patted him on the shoulder, saw the crown prince raised his head, and said, "Yuan'er, do you understand my painstaking efforts?"
The prince calmed down and replied in a low voice: "I...I know all about it."
The emperor said: "Everyone says that the Tian family has no kinship. I will tell you today that it is true, but it is not the case."
Pei Zhaoyuan was stunned for a moment, and said, "Why?"
The emperor said: "Your uncles have passed away after I ascended the throne. In the past, there were always foolish people who said that I couldn't tolerate brothers, and I killed them. Don't you know that I need them most in this world?" , the one who most wishes them to live well.”
"Back then, Emperor Taizu was fighting for the world in troubled times. I, the Pei family, had seven kings, each of whom was worth one hundred and made outstanding achievements in battle. Without these ancestors, without the help of brothers, how would the Pei family's world come about?"
"My brothers are gone. I am alone, so I will be helpless and coerced by others. How can the Tian family have no family?"
The prince's heart moved, but his face didn't show it, he just pretended to be stunned, and said firmly: "My father's meaning, all my sons and ministers understand, and I will definitely not treat my two younger brothers poorly in the future."
The emperor didn't answer, just paused, and said: "Your second brother is upright, but he really doesn't have much brains. He is easy to be teased by others, saying that the wind is rain, so let him go east and west. Xiangxi, but in fact he has never been malicious towards you. Even though he has some unreasonable thoughts, he is only brave, but he has no courage. In fact, he will not threaten you. At that time, I was only doing errands for the king, but now I am here, and it is the same when you inherit the throne."
"Lin'er, Geng Jie, and Heng'er are down-to-earth, but they are both really able to handle errands for you. Brothers will inevitably rub against each other, but blood is thicker than water. Although they may not get along with you now, in the future they will be the most trustworthy and respectful of you." man of."
The prince said: "My son has been taught."
The emperor said: "Lin'er has lost his mind again recently, I will remind him. As for Heng'er, to prevent the flooding of the river in the north, I just ordered him to go to the three prefectures of the north to preside over the construction of the river. He is diligent and steadfast in his work. If there are less villains around you who spend their days running around and plotting gains and losses, and more people like your third brother, I will feel more at ease."
The prince said: "Last year, the third brother was busy with disaster relief. He was unable to spend the New Year in Beijing. This year, he will go out again. The northern region is bitterly cold. The third brother has worked hard. When I go back, I will ask my servants to prepare some winter clothes and charcoal fire. Bring it on."
The emperor nodded and said: "You can handle these things yourself, you don't need to tell me, what I want to tell you is another matter."
The crown prince was stunned, and said: "I also ask my father to make it clear."
The emperor suddenly coughed violently. This cough was so severe that it shook the world. His posture seemed to be coughing out his lungs. His footsteps were a little unsteady, and he swayed slightly. The prince was startled and quickly stood up. He came to help Junfu, and hurriedly said: "Father...what's the matter with you, I'm going to call someone Xuantai..."
But the emperor waved his hand. He shook his head and wanted to speak, but he didn't speak for a long time. The crown prince could only hear his father's chest roaring like a bellows. I feel a little worried about my aging body.
The emperor calmed down and breathed for a long time, then looked up at him, and said, "You...you tell me the truth, besides the Song family, Chen Yuanfu...who else are there?"
"I... I want to hear you tell me personally."
When the prince heard this, his mind went blank for a moment, but his movements froze suddenly.
Seeing his expression, the emperor was not annoyed. He just sighed and said: "The family affection of the Tian family is only with your brothers. They... are all outsiders, and when they are close to each other in front of them, they will cook with fire, and in the future they may become... ahem... the guillotine on your neck..."
"Now that I'm still here, they naturally don't dare, but in the future...after a hundred years...what do you do..."
"Yuan'er ask yourself, can you beat your scheming uncle?"
Pei Zhaoyuan opened his mouth slightly, looked at his father who was staring at him deeply, and was in a daze for a while, unable to reply.
The midday sun poured into the lobby from the open door of the medical hall, and fell on the half of He Gu's face that was facing the light, reflecting even more the twitching of the corners of his mouth, making him look extremely embarrassed.
Yan Zhiya: "..."
After a long time, He Gucai said: "...I am a man."
After a pause, he said again: "... Xi... Xi Mai, how is this possible, the girl really knows how to joke."
Yan Zhiya: "..."
Of course she also knew that He Hou Ye was a man, but she had a doctor's visit just now, and she still couldn't believe it. After a second visit, it was still the same——
He Gu's pulse is smooth and smooth like a rolling ball. Although it is true when young and middle-aged people are full of qi and blood, and a woman's slippery pulse is the sign of vigorous qi and blood to nourish the fetus, but He Gu just said that he has recently had a cold stomach and lethargy, I can't swallow my food, I feel like throwing up when I have nothing to do... This is...
Yan Zhiya coughed dryly, and said: "Cough... Well, I didn't say that Lord Hou is pregnant, I just said that Master Hou's pulse, it...he really...just...cough..."
I can't say anything after that.
There is no other reason, the eyes of He Gu and Zhengye staring at her are really a little scary.
Yan Zhiya swallowed her saliva, touched her small pulse pillow a little timidly, and said in a low voice: "Or...or I am not good at medicine, I am not good at learning, and I don't know if I made a wrong diagnosis. Don’t just pretend I’m talking nonsense…”
That's right, she must have conceived the sequel of "Those Years I Were My Brother" recently. The idea was crazy, so she blurted out, saying that Lord Hou has a happy pulse. .
But... it stands to reason that young and middle-aged men have slippery pulses, which are mostly gentle and powerful, while pregnant women are slightly different. Although slippery, the pulse beats faster. The pulse of He Houye just now is clearly the same as the one she had in the past. The pulse of a normal man is not the same, but it is more consistent with the pulse of a pregnant woman...
Although Yan Zhiya thought of these words in her heart, she was really puzzled, but she really didn't dare to say it, she could only hold it in her stomach, and kept silent.
After all, no matter what, Lord He Hou is also a man...
How can a man be happy?
He Gu was still in shock, Yan Zhiya was pondering over a thousand things in her heart but dared not speak out, but Zhengye's thoughts and concerns were very clear, and he suddenly asked without thinking, "Then... ...How long does Miss Yan think this pulse has been?"
Yan Zhiya scratched his ears, looked at He Gu's expression, saw that he was dazed, and didn't seem to be very angry, so she dared to answer in a low voice: "...About a month or two? I... I have medical skills I'm not good, and I dare not say..."
It took He Gu a long time to finally recover from the shock and disbelief, only to feel what Yan Zhiya said...
Absurd!nonsense!Absurd!
This time, when I heard that Yan Zhiya and Zhengye had been discussing his "happy pulse" in such a serious manner for several months, I couldn't help but suddenly changed color, and almost became angry and scolded: "What the fuck... what is it?" Two months, I'm a man, how can I have a happy pulse, it's nonsense!"
Miss Yan looked at He Xiaohou's incompetent and furious appearance, that white and tender face with Chinese characters, which had always been an old god, finally showed a rare embarrassment at this moment, she coughed dryly and looked away, pretending to look at the scenery and said: "Uh... Hou Ye... What Hou Ye said is, I think I must have made a wrong diagnosis, or... I don't need to take it seriously... Cough..."
Zhengye listened to Yan Zhiya's answer from the side, but his expression was a little complicated, he looked thoughtful, after a while, he suddenly raised his head to look at He Xiaohou, who blushed anxiously, had thick neck, eyebrows and eyes .
He Gu felt that he was looking at him, turned his head and saw that Zhengye's eyes were very speechless, with hesitant to speak written all over his face.
He Gu felt uncomfortable being watched by him, frowned and said, "You... what are you looking at!"
At this moment, Lord He Xiaohou looked anxious and completely annoyed, but if he was familiar with him like Zhengye, he could see that he was restless at the moment, flustered rather than angry.
As for the reason, He Gu knew it in his heart, Zhengye had been following him all the time, knowing his daily schedule and who he was with, so he naturally knew——
Since Fu Ling returned to the capital, His Royal Highness Ke and Lord Hou have met from time to time, and even talked at night by candlelight, talked all night long, and talked again and again... In short, the two of them spent the night together, but there was no shortage...
Although Zhengye had some doubts in his heart before, he never dared to ask, and naturally he didn't know what the relationship between the two of them was, but today he knows...
Although Zheng Ye is dull, but he is familiar with Miss Yan, Yan Zhiya is an iron rooster, when Beijing Central Huichun Hall was open, Miss Lan Xiao was also responsible for the accountant's work, and it was Yan Zhiya and Chun who went to see a doctor, buy and dry medicinal materials. The two girls, Tong, did it by themselves, manpower is precious in Beijing, Yan Zhiya was reluctant to hire a helper, and as for the heavy physical work of moving boxes and cages, Zhengye was asked to go to the medical clinic to do it for him.
Zheng Ye has a dark heart, so he is naturally very attentive, responsive to requests, and never refuses.
Since they met like this, he naturally read the scriptures written by Miss Yan...
If Lord Hou and His Royal Highness King Ke have that kind of relationship, they are in love with each other, and if they are alone and widowed, they will spend the night together, then a fool will think that the two of them are still innocent.
Zhengye looked at He Gu with complicated eyes, and glanced at Miss Yan next to him from the corner of his eye, then suddenly turned to Yan Zhiya and said, "...Don't blame me, girl, I have something to say to Master Hou, please stay with me for a while."
Then he dragged He Gu to the door, but fortunately there was no one on the street, so he whispered to He Gu: "Then what... lord... before you leave... er... are you... and the prince... Talking all night...?"
He Gu: "..."
He Gu is not stupid, naturally he understood immediately when he heard it, he knew where Zhengye was thinking, and also guessed what he meant by asking this question.
He Gu's cheeks trembled, and it took him a long time to grind his molars, and he said angrily, "What the hell has something to do with it?"
Zhengye: "..."
He wiped away the saliva sprayed on his face by Master Hou who was so ashamed and angry, and was silent for a long time before he finally had the courage to speak boldly and said, "But... but Miss Yan has superb medical skills, how could she be wrong?"
He Gu: "?"
This guy's trust in Miss Yan can even make him ignore that he is a man, right? ?
He Gu couldn't bear it anymore, and said: "...it's all messed up, it's really nonsense!"
Turning his head and walking back to Yan Zhiya's side, he didn't hear Miss Yan's "Mr. Hou is happy", I don't know whether it was a surprise or a shock diagnosis, exchanged a few perfunctory greetings, and quickly ran away with Zheng Ye up.
Yan Zhiya yelled countless times from behind, but she didn't stop at all, only half of the back of Master He Xiaohou was seen leaving quickly.
She sighed, held on to the door frame of the medical center, rubbed her chin, and muttered to herself, "I shouldn't have made a mistake...?"
Yan Zhiya's diagnosis was correct, and it will be clear soon.
There are two flowers blooming, one for each branch. The Kunqiong Mountain camp here is calm and calm, and the days are passing without waves, but in Bianjing City, it is a different scene.
The thunderstorm of the emperor's liquidation of the Song Party finally came to an end, it was the first rest, and all the officials secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, no matter whether it will involve me or not, but up and down, there is always such a jittery and silent atmosphere in Beijing, which is really hard to bear. On weekdays, when the big guys say a word on the street, they are afraid that there will be plainclothes next to them The twelve guards squatted, fearing that one of them might be labeled as a factionist.
Since the emperor ascended the throne, he has always been lenient and benevolent. There has never been such a day. How can all the officials get used to it?
Naturally, with His Majesty's disposition, such a thing could not have been done at all, but the bad came from His Majesty, who actually handed over the task of tracking down the Song Party to King Zhong Bing...
If this job is given to someone else, no matter because of the relationship between the Song family and the East Palace, or because of the intertwined interests of the involved officials, big and small, it is inevitable that they will be sympathetic and dare not take the job. Things are done too harshly and too ruthlessly. After all, being an official pays attention to one's reputation, being too strict will definitely offend others and affect your future career...
But when it was handed over to King Zhong, he didn't have such worries, and there was probably no one in the whole court who could hope for the prince to have bad luck sooner than King Zhong.
He was in charge of the Twelve Guards in the past, and he was dismissed because of the New Year's Eve palace banquet. Now that he has regained the trust of the monarch and his father, and the power is back in his hands, he is naturally gearing up and full of energy. Let's clean up all the chickens and dogs.
And His Highness the Crown Prince needs to avoid suspicion, so naturally he can't interfere in this matter, so those officials being targeted by His Royal Highness Zhong Wang are also ineffective every day, so they have to ask for more blessings.
It is said that it is the Song Party, but everyone knows that the Song family is from the Eastern Palace, and all are prosperous and all are damaged. Seeing that the line of civil servants who supported the crown prince was greatly injured by His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness has not yet A little bit of preparation meant to stop, and he even reported to Junfu at the court meeting that the errands had not been completed, and it would take time for him to investigate those corrupt officials who pulled out radishes and brought out mud.
Fortunately, these days, His Royal Highness King Ke is in charge of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Punishment. At the end of the year, there are many trivial matters. It is necessary to outline the dead criminals who need to be executed in the spring of next year, and to lighten the records of the prison officer for one year. With the spring flood next year, there will be insufficient manpower. His Royal Highness King Zhong took the twelve guards to the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Punishment to catch cats and dogs all day long.
Everyone knows that His Royal Highness King Ke has always been diligent and diligent in handling government affairs. He doesn't care who is in the same party with whom, and who is involved with whom. As long as he can handle the errands arranged well and beautifully, he will never A lot of troubles, on the contrary, if it affects the errands, he doesn't show any sympathy. An old servant at the head of the Ministry of Industry has worked for more than [-] years. His hair and beard are all gray, because he was delayed several times to repair the river. , was also held accountable by him in front of all the ministers of the Ministry of Industry and Yamen.
So the ministers and workers made up their minds, thinking that they were sure of His Royal Highness Ke's temperament, and complained to him about their difficulties.
As expected, His Royal Highness King Ke did as they wished. On the second day, he spoke bluntly at the court meeting, saying that the affairs of the Song family have been complicated these days, and that the case of the Song family should come to an end. If the investigation continues, it will be detrimental to the stability of the court.
If others say this, they will inevitably feel guilty and anxious to get rid of the crime, and they will offend the narrow-minded second prince, but His Royal Highness Ke does not have this trouble, and His Royal Highness Ke is an honest person, presumably he will not care about offending Second Prince's.
What's more, he's still a brother. His Majesty is still here, so what can the Second Highness do to him?
After hearing this, the emperor really pondered for a moment. After a while, although his expression faded, he agreed with King Ke's statement. This major corruption case that caused a sensation in Jiangluo and involved Jinghua finally came to an end.
After this incident, His Royal Highness King Ke has formed a good relationship. In the hearts of many people, he has become a kind and generous king who does not hesitate to offend his elder brother and father, and also speaks out for innocent courtiers.
The prince never took any action, but saw everything in his eyes.
After the court meeting that day, he went to see the emperor's father again, and this time he was not turned away, and he was able to see the emperor's father.
There is a small garden outside the Lanzheng Palace. Although the area is not large, it is under the eyes of the emperor and can be seen every day. The palace servants who tend the flowers and plants are naturally extraordinarily meticulous and dare not neglect at all.
In the past, the emperor always sat in the hall of government affairs and didn't come out very often. Recently, he didn't know why. Maybe it was because he was getting older, and when he was finally tired, he would start to doze off and be lazy frequently when he was dealing with government affairs like a mountain. Only then did he begin to be willing to come out to enjoy the garden scenery, and even tended the flowers and plants himself.
When the prince arrived, Junfu was wearing casual clothes, squatting in the garden digging soil for a plant.
The prince was taken aback, and immediately frowned and reprimanded the attendant next to him: "It's really lazy! How can you let the emperor do such a thing in person, the person who takes care of the flowers and plants?"
Zhai'er was standing on the side, and the pot came from the sky. He was startled by the prince's yelling. He knelt down and kowtowed in fright: "It's not...it's not that the servants are lazy, it's...it's..."
The words came to his lips but he couldn't continue. After all, His Royal Highness blamed him, and Zhai'er felt that if he immediately shirked responsibility and said that His Majesty wanted to do this, His Royal Highness might be even more angry.
...but the truth is true.
In a moment of urgency, my forehead almost broke out in sweat.
Fortunately, the emperor straightened up at this time, raised his hand to wipe the thin sweat from his forehead, and said: "I did it myself, Yuan'er don't blame them."
Pei Zhaoyuan quickly bowed his head and said in a respectful voice: "Father, with a body of ten thousand chariots, how can you do such a thing? It's cold in winter, and my son shouldn't talk too much, but... just seeing Father working so hard, I'm really worried. "
The emperor said: "These flowers are delicate, and the snow will fall in two months, and they can't stand the severe cold. They need to be moved back to the house now, so that they can survive next year. I just dig the soil, and it doesn't take much money." What's the trouble?"
Then he said to the little servant next to him: "You step back first."
Zhai'er nodded yes, and hurriedly backed away with small steps.
For a while, only the emperor and the prince and his son were left in the court.
The prince said: "I came to see it first, and I was still wondering why the flowers are of the same kind, but the flowers here bloom so well, better than anywhere else in the palace. It turns out that the emperor took good care of them, so naturally they are better than the flowers." A hundred times elsewhere."
The emperor said: "This is all physical work. I just do it when I think about it, so that I can relax my mind and save myself from remembering all the messy things in the court all day. Compared with that, it's really easy." .”
The prince said: "Father is tired."
It is not without reason that he came to see Junfu today, but at this moment the prince always felt that Junfu seemed to have something to say today, he was not sure what the emperor was thinking, and did not dare to speak rashly.
The emperor didn't know what he was thinking, he clearly knew that the eldest son came to see him, and he probably had something to ask, but he deliberately didn't mention it, he just said: "Growing flowers is the same as raising people, you have to be careful, and you need to loosen the soil. In order to prevent the soil from congealing too hard, it is not conducive to the growth of flowers and plants."
Speaking of this, he suddenly stopped. As for the saying "growing flowers is the same as raising people", I didn't go into details about raising people, as if it didn't mention it at all.
The prince's heart suddenly twitched, his eyelids began to twitch, his teeth clenched tightly, and finally he gritted his teeth immediately and knelt down in front of the emperor with a plop.
When he knelt down so suddenly, the emperor was not surprised when he saw him, but just looked at his slightly trembling back and the top of his head with downcast eyes.
The crown prince didn't seem to care about the dirt on the ground, he just kowtowed heavily at the emperor, and said in a muffled voice: "I also ask the emperor to calm down, my son... I know I was wrong."
The emperor said indifferently: "Why, you are so good, you suddenly came here to confess your mistake to me, and I never blamed you for anything."
The prince bowed his head and said: "Father did not blame, but also agreed to the request of the third younger brother. It is the father's generosity to the son. The son is grateful and dare not forget it easily. It is just that the heart is always restless, so... today , I came here today to plead guilty to my father."
The emperor said: "Your third brother has a solid eye. He played at the meeting, not to plead with anyone, but because he was afraid of delaying the business, do you understand?"
The prince said: "My son... my son understands."
The emperor said: "Although there is indeed a way for a ruler to control his subordinates, he should not indulge villains and indulge treacherous men for the sake of gaining friendship for a while. If such evil spirits are rampant, how can the government survive? At that time, the country will not be the country, and the king will also be defeated." I know that Yuan'er promoted Song Yinian because he took into account that his father had been an official in Jiangluo for many years. If he was promoted, Jiangluo's officialdom would be strengthened and it would be easier to govern. However, you never thought that raising a tiger would eventually take Afflictions and big tails must not be lost. Although a person like Song Yinian can indeed stabilize Jiangluo for a while, he is greedy and insatiable. To maintain this stability, how much will he have to pay for it? If things go on like this, how can Jiangluo not be born? Suffering?"
"If Yuan'er only has stability and checks and balances in his mind, it will not be enough for him to ascend the throne in the future."
Pei Zhaoyuan's eyes turned red immediately after hearing Jun's father's words. Although he didn't know whether it was true or because his acting skills were realistic, in short, he really shed tears, and he looked very sincere and did not seem to be fake.
The prince's voice trembled slightly, and he said in a low voice: "Father and Emperor's teachings, I will remember them all, and I will definitely learn from them in the future, and be careful again and again."
The emperor let out a "hmm", chatting seemingly unintentionally: "Recently, there have been some messages in the market, saying that when I cleaned up the Song family, I wanted to clean up you, and said that I have the heart to waste the savings..."
He snorted, shook his head and said: "...It's all nonsense. I didn't want to answer it, but I was worried that Yuan'er listened too much. Since you are here today, I will tell you that I have no such intentions. Don't let these groundless suspicions ruin the relationship between you and my father and son."
The prince's back suddenly froze. If he hadn't lowered his head at this moment, the emperor could see his suddenly constricted pupils and slightly opened mouth.
It's not that Pei Zhaoyuan made a big fuss, it's really that since he mentioned his biological mother, Empress Chen, which angered his father, Long Yan, and was imprisoned for half a year, the emperor treated him much worse than before. Although others don't know, but such a thing One knows the temperature of drinking water, Junfu's attitude is at least more than three points colder, and the errands given to him are not as detailed as before.
Whether the emperor has the intention of abolishing the reserve, not to mention others, even Pei Zhaoyuan himself is full of uneasiness, ups and downs, and he can't guess what the emperor's father is thinking.
With such an attitude, let alone being so frank and frank like today, telling him that he has no intention of waste.
Hearing what he said suddenly now, Pei Zhaoyuan's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and a huge joy hit his heart. He sucked his nose, and this time he really said in a nasal voice from the bottom of his heart: "My son... My son Thank you, Father, for your generosity and trust..."
The emperor sighed lowly, put his wrinkled hands on the crown of the kneeling prince's hair and stroked, and said, "You are actually the one who resembles me the most... that's why I'm so worried about you... Ask others to lead you to the wrong path..."
The prince was stunned for a moment, with tears in his eyes, and when he looked up, he forgot to see his father's cloudy and focused eyes looking at him.
"Father...you..."
The emperor whispered: "Now that I have taken care of the Song family, does Yuan'er think that I am the one who took care of you? I tell you, that is not the case. What I want to control is not you, but the Chen family, and Chen Yuanfu." .”
The prince's pupils shrank slightly, and his words were a little awkward, before he said after a while: "This... this... uncle... he didn't..."
The emperor said: "You don't have to say anything, I know what Yuan'er is going to say."
"The Chen family is your natal family. It is understandable for Yuan'er to be close to them, but you are still young now. Yuan'er doesn't know how I came here and how I got this great treasure..."
The emperor's fingertips stroked along the arc of the prince's hair. The speed was just right, and the strength was neither light nor heavy, but it was just enough for Pei Zhaoyuan to feel the rare warmth of his father.
The emperor sighed lowly: "Flowers need to loosen the soil, and my Yuan'er is not the flower I want and must be cultivated most carefully. I don't want you to be like me in the past, with nowhere to grow and place leaves. People are holding back, but as the Son of Heaven, you have to rely on others, and you can't help yourself in everything."
"Yuan'er... I... I'm old too. You can see it these days. My health is already very bad. I cough every day, and it doesn't get better after taking medicine... I'm still sick again. How many days can it be?"
The prince's heart was beating violently, and he stared blankly at Junfu's dazed eyes with sighs, a touch of warmth and worry——
Suddenly, and for the first time, I felt a little sore nose.
It turns out...the royal father...it's not that he doesn't care about him.
Pei Zhaoyuan sniffled, and there was silence in the court. After a while, he suddenly hugged Father Jun's thigh. This time, he couldn't restrain the tears in his words, and said in a trembling voice: "Father...Father...is my son?" The minister is not filial, it is the son who is stupid... the son..."
The emperor touched the top of his head, closed his eyes, and said in a low voice: "...I'm afraid that time is running out. Back then I managed to get Chen Tingduan down. He covered the sky with one hand for so long... Now he My son actually wants to go the same way he did back then, trying to control my son, how can I tolerate it, watching him bully me, Yuaner was young and ignorant, and use you in a different way to turn the entire court into his Chen family's back yard?"
"I... how can I bear it?"
The prince hugged the emperor's leg, without saying a word, but wept endlessly.
The emperor patted him on the shoulder, saw the crown prince raised his head, and said, "Yuan'er, do you understand my painstaking efforts?"
The prince calmed down and replied in a low voice: "I...I know all about it."
The emperor said: "Everyone says that the Tian family has no kinship. I will tell you today that it is true, but it is not the case."
Pei Zhaoyuan was stunned for a moment, and said, "Why?"
The emperor said: "Your uncles have passed away after I ascended the throne. In the past, there were always foolish people who said that I couldn't tolerate brothers, and I killed them. Don't you know that I need them most in this world?" , the one who most wishes them to live well.”
"Back then, Emperor Taizu was fighting for the world in troubled times. I, the Pei family, had seven kings, each of whom was worth one hundred and made outstanding achievements in battle. Without these ancestors, without the help of brothers, how would the Pei family's world come about?"
"My brothers are gone. I am alone, so I will be helpless and coerced by others. How can the Tian family have no family?"
The prince's heart moved, but his face didn't show it, he just pretended to be stunned, and said firmly: "My father's meaning, all my sons and ministers understand, and I will definitely not treat my two younger brothers poorly in the future."
The emperor didn't answer, just paused, and said: "Your second brother is upright, but he really doesn't have much brains. He is easy to be teased by others, saying that the wind is rain, so let him go east and west. Xiangxi, but in fact he has never been malicious towards you. Even though he has some unreasonable thoughts, he is only brave, but he has no courage. In fact, he will not threaten you. At that time, I was only doing errands for the king, but now I am here, and it is the same when you inherit the throne."
"Lin'er, Geng Jie, and Heng'er are down-to-earth, but they are both really able to handle errands for you. Brothers will inevitably rub against each other, but blood is thicker than water. Although they may not get along with you now, in the future they will be the most trustworthy and respectful of you." man of."
The prince said: "My son has been taught."
The emperor said: "Lin'er has lost his mind again recently, I will remind him. As for Heng'er, to prevent the flooding of the river in the north, I just ordered him to go to the three prefectures of the north to preside over the construction of the river. He is diligent and steadfast in his work. If there are less villains around you who spend their days running around and plotting gains and losses, and more people like your third brother, I will feel more at ease."
The prince said: "Last year, the third brother was busy with disaster relief. He was unable to spend the New Year in Beijing. This year, he will go out again. The northern region is bitterly cold. The third brother has worked hard. When I go back, I will ask my servants to prepare some winter clothes and charcoal fire. Bring it on."
The emperor nodded and said: "You can handle these things yourself, you don't need to tell me, what I want to tell you is another matter."
The crown prince was stunned, and said: "I also ask my father to make it clear."
The emperor suddenly coughed violently. This cough was so severe that it shook the world. His posture seemed to be coughing out his lungs. His footsteps were a little unsteady, and he swayed slightly. The prince was startled and quickly stood up. He came to help Junfu, and hurriedly said: "Father...what's the matter with you, I'm going to call someone Xuantai..."
But the emperor waved his hand. He shook his head and wanted to speak, but he didn't speak for a long time. The crown prince could only hear his father's chest roaring like a bellows. I feel a little worried about my aging body.
The emperor calmed down and breathed for a long time, then looked up at him, and said, "You...you tell me the truth, besides the Song family, Chen Yuanfu...who else are there?"
"I... I want to hear you tell me personally."
When the prince heard this, his mind went blank for a moment, but his movements froze suddenly.
Seeing his expression, the emperor was not annoyed. He just sighed and said: "The family affection of the Tian family is only with your brothers. They... are all outsiders, and when they are close to each other in front of them, they will cook with fire, and in the future they may become... ahem... the guillotine on your neck..."
"Now that I'm still here, they naturally don't dare, but in the future...after a hundred years...what do you do..."
"Yuan'er ask yourself, can you beat your scheming uncle?"
Pei Zhaoyuan opened his mouth slightly, looked at his father who was staring at him deeply, and was in a daze for a while, unable to reply.
