Your majesty, please stay in the cold palace

After walking all the way to a gazebo, the Queen Mother sat down, "Your Majesty, Aijia heard that you haven't favored concubines in the harem for several months, is there such a thing?"

Guo Heng suddenly realized that it was for this matter?

He said disapprovingly: "Queen Mother, I am busy with government affairs, so..."

"Hmph! Is it really because of busy government affairs?" The Queen Mother looked up at him, "Your Majesty, you are the emperor of Daliang, shouldering the responsibility of the country and the country, but you are also the husband of the women in the harem. It is the emperor Shengming who wants you to share the rain and dew evenly." But Aijia heard that you spend all day in the imperial study and hardly step into the harem, why is that?"

Guo Heng withdrew his perfunctory look, hesitated to speak, "Queen Mother, actually... Actually, it's not that I don't want to pamper the harem. After all, I'm a man, and the palace is full of beauties, but, but..."

"But what?"

"I have a problem with my body, so I can't..."

Guo Heng lowered his eyes slightly, pretending to be in pain.It's a bad excuse, but it works, and it's untraceable.

The Queen Mother was puzzled at first, but then she understood. She stood up abruptly, and asked in disbelief, "You mean, you can't...how could this happen? Has Imperial Doctor Qi seen it? What did he say?"

Guo Heng said: "Of course the doctor Qi has seen it. He said that my mind is too heavy, and I spend too much energy and energy. I need to recuperate slowly^"

"Did he say when it will be better?"

Guo Heng said uncertainly: "He said to take good care of him, it should be a few months at a short time, and a year at a long time. It should be fine." The queen mother sat down slowly, as if talking to herself, "How could this be What? You are still so young..."

She raised her voice sharply again, "When did it start? I don't feel well anywhere, but what medicine did I take?"

The queen mother asked a series of words, but Guo Heng answered leisurely.

"I don't know why this happened. It's been almost half a year, and I don't have any discomfort, but I don't sleep well at night, I feel weak, and sometimes I feel chest tightness and can't breathe. Even when I went to the concubine in the harem, I didn't have any thoughts at all. I was also very panicked and anxious, and immediately called Imperial Physician Qi to give me a diagnosis and treatment, and Imperial Physician Qi prescribed Bu Sui Dan at first, followed by Guifu Dihuang Wan."

The Empress Dowager sighed, and said slowly: "Bullet Replenishment Pill is too strong, Guifu Dihuang Pill nourishes yin and nourishes kidney, it is the right symptom."

This call was all made up by Guo Heng, but at this moment he nodded in a serious manner.

"Emperor Doctor Qi is an old man in the palace. With him taking care of me, the Empress Dowager should rest assured."

"Yes. I heard that your son went to Concubine Shu's place before, and his illness has improved?"

The queen mother even inquired about her own intercourse, it was a bit too much.

"I really can't hide anything from the Queen Mother. I did go to Xinyun Palace, but Imperial Physician Qi said that my body needs to be recuperated slowly, and I can't act too hastily. I dare not disobey the imperial physician's words. I am still young, and the days to come There are many!"

The Queen Mother could hear the impatience in Guo Heng's tone, and even more what he meant.

She gritted her teeth secretly, if Chun'er hadn't begged her, how could she have asked such a blunt topic?

"The emperor is still young, he should take good care of it, so as not to fall into the root of the disease."

Guo Heng's tone softened, "Don't worry, Queen Mother. I already have two sons and two daughters. Even if I am ill, it will be difficult to have an heir in the future. There will always be a prince who can inherit the foundation of Daliang."

The queen mother said angrily: "How can the emperor say such a thing? Aijia only cares about whether there are any successors? The Aijia is worried about you, the emperor! If there is something wrong with you, what will you do to the Aijia and the women in the harem?" ?”

Guo Heng thought to himself, how worried and tentative it is, only you know, right?

However, the reason why I was able to become the emperor was due to this woman. After I became an adult, Guo Heng was still grateful that she returned the government to him, so even knowing the little tricks she and Yan Zheng played behind the scenes, he still maintained the basics. respect.

"Queen Mother, I made you worry. I was wrong. I just said the worst result. However, I am still young. If I take good care of myself, I will get better."

The queen mother raised her hand and wiped her eyes with a handkerchief, "Your father died young because of overwork. You are sick now at a young age, how can you not make Aijia feel sad and afraid!"

Seeing the empress dowager's eye circles red, Guo Heng sighed in his heart, in terms of acting, the empress dowager should be the number one in this palace.

He said dryly: "There is no need for the queen mother to be sad, I will definitely get better."

The Queen Mother wiped away the tears from her eyes, and said: "Since this is the case, the Ai family will not force you. However, the Ai family will mention your matter to the queen and several concubines, and they must not let them think wildly."

"Thank you, Empress."

After sending the Queen Mother back to the palace, Guo Heng finally breathed a sigh of relief.Finally, I have an excuse, and I don't have to favor the harem anymore.

He was not afraid of the queen mother asking Qi Yunshan, Qi Yunshan is so smart, he just needs to mention him.

As for the women in the harem... they are always owed.But...Guo Heng hardened his heart, they are all smart women, the day they entered the palace, they should have expected such a day.He thinks clearly now that he has never treated them as a relationship between a man and a woman, but only a responsibility.

Just let me be selfish for once!Live for yourself.I will still treat them well, but not get close to them anymore.

As for his own reputation... Forget it, as long as Ozawa knows that he has no problems in the future.

Guo Heng figured it out, and his steps became faster. He wished he could go to Xu Chengze immediately and explain it to him, but he hesitated.He thought of many kinds of excuses, but he still felt that it was not enough, and he was afraid, what would happen if Ozawa refused... He thought too much, maybe it was just cowardice?

"The servant kowtows to the emperor."

Guo Heng paused, only to see Zhou Tian from Xinyun Palace saluting in front of him.

"Zhou Tian, ​​what's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, Concubine Shu invites you to visit Xinyun Palace."

He fell ill in Xinyun Palace the day before yesterday, and he didn't give her an explanation afterwards, which must have frightened her.

Thinking that Concubine Liu Shu's personality became much more gentle and peaceful after she had a child, she said, "Okay, I'll go with you."

As soon as Guo Heng walked into the Xinyun Palace, he heard the baby's intense cry of "Wow".

Before Zhou Tian called the emperor to come, he quickly walked into the house.

"Wanzhen, why is Ying'er crying so hard?"

The nurse was hugging the child and coaxing it softly, while Concubine Liu Shu looked at the child eagerly, her face was obviously nervous, she raised her hands, but she didn't know what to do.

Concubine Liu Shu turned her head to see Guo Heng, the tears in her eyes immediately flowed down, she threw herself into Guo Heng's arms, her voice choked.

"Your Majesty, I don't even know about my concubine, Ying'er is crying so pitifully, she can't speak..."

Guo Heng patted her on the back lightly, and said softly: "Don't cry, where is the imperial physician? Have you announced the imperial physician?"

"No, no."

Concubine Liu Shu was completely flustered, and she was busy coaxing the child, so how could she remember the imperial physician Xuan?

Guo Heng looked at the little guy in the nurse's arms with his eyes closed, his face was flushed from crying, his voice was a little hoarse, and his heart ached.

He hurriedly called Shuiyun, "Hurry up and declare the imperial physician!"

"say,,

疋.

The imperial physician came quickly, and it was Yang Shouren, an imperial physician who was good at treating children.

After Yang Shouren came, Guo Heng's gripped heart was relieved.

The wet nurse followed Yang Shouren's instructions and put the child on the bed so that he could carefully examine the child's body.

While checking, Yang Shouren asked, "Ma'am, how many times did the child have milk today?"

Concubine Liu Shu stopped crying, stood beside her and said, "I didn't eat much."

Yang Shouren touched the child's stomach with his hand, and asked again, "How many times have you pooped?"

Concubine Liu Shu thought for a while, then looked at the wet nurse next to her, "Did Ying'er pull up today?"

"no?"

Yang Shouren asked again, "What about yesterday?"

"yesterday?"

Concubine Liu Shu and the wet nurse looked at each other again and shook their heads together.

Yang Shouren didn't ask any more questions, but just rubbed the child's stomach lightly with his hands, and Ying'er's crying became a little weaker.

After a while, I heard a thin but loud voice coming from the swaddling baby.

Concubine Liu Shu opened her eyes wide in surprise, and whispered, "This is, is this farting?"

Ying'er stopped crying and turned into a low hum.

Yang Shouren said with a smile: "Ma'am, the little princess hasn't had a bowel movement for two days, and her stomach is distended, so she must be uncomfortable. Pull it out in a while and you'll be fine."

alright. ,,

Concubine Liu Shu breathed a sigh of relief, "Is it because you can't pull it out... hold back?"

"It should be."

"What should I do?"

"The minister rubs the little princess's stomach, and it will be fine after a while."

Guo Heng burst out laughing, it was a false alarm.

He hugged Concubine Shu and said softly: "Ying'er is fine, you don't have to worry."

Embarrassed, Concubine Liu Shu lowered her head to wipe away the tears on her face, and said in a low voice: "The concubine is too nervous, the emperor laughed."

She is completely a mother's normal reaction, how could Guo Heng blame her?Instead, she comforted: "Wanzhen, Ying'er is too young, it's normal for you to be nervous. It will be fine when she gets older and can talk. If Ying'er feels uncomfortable in the future, you can tell Yang Shouren to come in."

"The concubine thanked the emperor." Concubine Liu Shu turned her head to look at the child who had stopped crying, "The concubine never thought raising a child would be so troublesome."

"I don't find it troublesome, I think Ying'er is very cute."

Concubine Liu Shu was a little depressed, "I thought I would be a prince."

Guo Heng patted her on the shoulder lightly, "Wanzhen, why do you think so? I like boys and girls. Don't worry, when Yinger grows up, I will marry her to a good family and let her Be happy all your life."

"The concubine thanked the emperor on behalf of Ying'er."

Concubine Shu lowered her voice and asked, "Your Majesty, are you feeling better?"

She didn't hear the news that the emperor was ill in the past two days, so she knew that the emperor suppressed the news, so she didn't dare to speak out.

Knowing that she would definitely ask, Guo Heng said, "It's much better. Don't worry."

"That's good."

The little princess was fine, so Guo Heng left Xinyun Palace on the pretext that there was a memorial to be reviewed.Concubine Liu Shu sensitively noticed that Guo Heng seemed to have changed a little bit, she was very gentle and patient with her, but a little more alienated.

Concubine Shu sighed, the emperor's heart is unpredictable!Ying'er's "giggle" laughter brought back Concubine Shu's thoughts, forget it, let's live by Ying'er from now on!
