This shadow guard, you are enlightened

In the evening, Xing Chenmu's condition worsened and he started to have a fever. Several imperial physicians on duty from the Imperial Hospital all rushed to Chengyang Hall. With such a situation, even if Xing Chenmu wanted to hide it, he couldn't hide it.

The news of the emperor's illness spread quickly in the palace.

But it is said that sickness comes like a mountain, and sickness goes like a thread, no matter how noble your status is, it is useless in the face of sickness.

According to the imperial physician, Xing Chenmu hadn't had a good rest recently, so he was more susceptible to the disease. In addition, he was tired and windy in the imperial temple today, and his condition suddenly worsened. There was no way to heal him immediately.

When the Empress Dowager received the news and rushed to Chengyang Hall, Xing Chenmu had just woken up from his lethargy, and the first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was the Empress Dowager sitting beside the bed with red eyes.

He wanted to speak, but before he could speak, he coughed for a while, and after coughing, he asked in a hoarse voice, "Why is the queen mother here?"

"Mu'er, are you still asking Aijia? Aijia has heard from Eunuch Yan that you contracted this disease when you came out of Zhengquan Palace that day." The queen mother asked, recalling what happened that day, " Are you sincerely forcing the family to mourn?"

Xing Chenmu's head was dizzy, and he was already uncomfortable, but he immediately frowned when he heard the words: "Mother...my son didn't mean that, it was just a moment of carelessness that caught the wind and cold."

"Then why did you hide your illness from Aijia?" The queen mother obviously didn't believe his words.

"I just coughed a few days ago, it's really nothing. I was afraid that my mother would be worried, so I didn't ask someone to tell me." Xing Chenmu coughed a few more times and explained.

The Queen Mother wiped away her tears with a silk scarf. After all, she was concerned that Xing Chenmu was still ill, so she didn't continue talking, and instead said: "I heard that Mu'er hasn't eaten yet, and Ai's family asked the imperial dining room to cook some porridge. Use some."

"En." Xing Chenmu sat up with Yan Qing's support, and the Empress Dowager took the porridge bowl from the palace man, stirred it, and fed it to his mouth with a spoon.

Xing Chenmu wanted to take it by himself, but the queen mother insisted, so he had no choice but to give up.

Since he was ten years old, he has never been taken care of by the queen mother. It was difficult to adapt for a while, and he had no appetite when he was sick. After eating some, he shook his head: "The queen mother really doesn't have to do these..."

The Empress Dowager was about to cry again when she heard this, she put the porridge bowl on the tray held by the maid at the side, turned around and choked up, and said, "You are so sick that you don't even have a sick person by your side, how can the Ai family rest assured?" .”

"How can there be no one to take care of it, there are people in my house."

Xing Chenmu gave Yan Qing a wink, and Yan Qing immediately stepped forward to persuade him after understanding: "Empress Dowager, don't worry, the slaves will take good care of the Holy One."

"How can this be the same?" The queen mother knew that Xing Chenmu was pretending to be confused with her, so she simply stopped going around, "Isn't it good to find a gentle and virtuous woman to take care of her when she is sick? There will be children and grandchildren in the future. …”

"Mother's queen!" Seeing the figure flashing past behind the screen, Xing Chenmu stopped him immediately.

The Empress Dowager looked sad, and wanted to say more, but she felt sorry for his body, and finally sighed: "The Ai family can't control you now, you remember to eat and take medicine on time, otherwise the disease will be cured, if it is true... ...You let that person serve you."

"My son hasn't expressed his heart to that person yet." Xing Chenmu knew that he was not filial, and made the queen mother so worried about his affairs. Seeing that the queen mother's attitude softened, he slowed down and said, "on the other side of the courtier, my son will If you deal with it well, you won't act hastily to provoke criticism, the queen mother can rest assured."

"How can the Ai family feel at ease? Mu'er, the Ai family has clearly told you that the Ai family will never accept such a queen! The Ai family still means that, if you really like him, bringing him into the harem is already the biggest concession for the Ai family."

After the queen mother finished speaking, she confessed to Yan Qing: "Ai's family has returned to the palace. If there is anything wrong with the emperor, please ask Eunuch Yan to send someone to inform Ai's family immediately to conceal the emperor's illness. Ai's family does not want a second incident to happen. Second-rate."

The queen mother knew that Xing Chenmu must have meant to conceal her illness, and obviously she did not say this to Yan Qing, but Yan Qing didn't dare not take it lightly, and immediately knelt down and said, "My servant respectfully obeys the queen mother's order."

"Pull back to the palace."

It was inconvenient for Xing Chenmu to get out of bed, so he leaned on the bed and bowed in vain: "I respectfully send my mother off."

The Empress Dowager left with a few maids with her, and when she walked halfway, she recalled the slight change in Xing Chenmu's tone just now, she seemed to have sensed it, turned her head and looked around, but she didn't see any suspicious person, so she had to leave first.

After the Queen Mother walked away, Xing Chenmu said to Yan Qing who was beside him: "Go out and see if Zhuo Ying is here, if so, let him in."

Zhuo Ying is Xing Chenmu's personal guard, in the past when he came, he would go directly into the inner room to guard, but today he didn't know if he was afraid that he would blame him for not taking a long rest, or because he saw the queen mother here so he couldn't disturb her, so he stayed outside.

Yan Qing took the order to leave, and after a short while, Zhuo Ying walked around the screen and walked to the bed, half knelt down and asked, "Does the Holy Majesty have any orders?"

"What's the matter? You didn't come in to talk with me when you came, are you hiding from me?" Xing Chenmu had just talked with the queen mother for a while, and his voice sounded even weaker now.

"My subordinates heard that the condition of the saint has worsened, and they are going to go to the imperial hospital to ask."

It was true that Zhuo Ying was outside asking several other shadow guards about Xing Chenmu's situation, but at the same time, she also listened to the conversation between the Queen Mother and Xing Chenmu, and was afraid that she would lose her composure, so she took a moment to go inside.

No matter how much he thought about it, he never expected that the dispute between Xing Chenmu and the queen mother would be caused by the future queen.

The Queen Mother has always been lenient, and rarely interfered with Xing Chenmu's decisions, let alone matters of love.The Queen Mother has already stated that no matter what background the person Xing Chenmu likes is, she will accept it, but seeing this attitude now...

I don't know if the person Xing Chenmu saw was really not suitable for him, Zhuo Ying couldn't help feeling worried.

Seeing Zhuo Ying's expression, Xing Chenmu guessed that he must have listened to the conversation he had with the Queen Mother just now, but he didn't point it out. Instead, he smiled and said, "What are you going to ask at the Imperial Hospital? You want to know about my condition, why don't you come and ask me?" .”

"How does the Holy Majesty feel at this time? Is there any discomfort?" At this time, the Chengyang Hall is not cleared, and there are many maids and eunuchs guarding the inner room. Zhuo Ying is somewhat scrupulous, and just follows the words The other party asked.

"I'm dizzy when I'm sitting, and I'm coughing badly when I'm lying down. It's really uncomfortable. The cushion is leaning on my waist, and I feel a little uncomfortable. Can Zhuo Qing come up and let me lean on it for a while?"

Although Xing Chenmu was not as strict and forceful as outsiders when dealing with Zhuo Ying in the past, he still had the air of a king of a country after all, and he rarely showed such a weak appearance.

The queen mother had a dispute with him just now, thinking that he must be feeling very uncomfortable at this time, Zhuo Ying was even more worried about him, only thinking about how to help him, naturally he could not care about the so-called courtesy of the monarch and his ministers, hearing the words He quickly got up and sat down beside the bed, helped Xing Chenmu half lean on his body, and pulled up the cotton quilt for him to cover it.

"Has the Holy Majesty had dinner?" Zhuo Ying happened to see the maid bringing out the porridge when she came, and the porridge was barely touched.

Xing Chenmu expected Zhuo Ying to be soft-hearted, so he took advantage of his illness to make this request. At this time, he was contentedly pillowed in Zhuo Ying's arms, coughed a few times, and said: "I have eaten some, I don't have much appetite."

Zhuo Ying immediately frowned again: "Then you haven't taken the medicine yet?"

The prescription prescribed by the imperial physician needs to be taken half an hour after meals, if you take it on an empty stomach, it may hurt the spleen and stomach.

"I took a dose of medicine in the afternoon. I took the medicine for a few days before, but it didn't show any effect. Today, when the imperial doctor came, the prescription was changed, and it was more bitter than before. After I took it, I lost my appetite even more."

"Forgive me for being rude." Zhuo Ying reached out from behind Xing Chenmu and placed his hand on his forehead, and felt the heat as if it hadn't subsided at all. "You have to take medicine on time, otherwise what will happen to this disease?" Can you do well?"

After Zhuo Ying finished speaking, she called Yan Qing and ordered: "Please trouble Eunuch Yan to go to the imperial dining room and bring some porridge."

"Wait first." Xing Chenmu stopped Yan Qing who was about to turn around, moved in Zhuo Ying's arms, and took the opportunity to discuss with him: "Then I have a good meal and medicine, and you will go back to the Shadow Palace to rest later. Come on, stop guarding today."

Yan Qing had also seen Xing Chenmu persuade Zhuo Ying to rest in the past, but when he suddenly heard that he had used this matter to negotiate terms with Zhuo Ying, coupled with the overly intimate posture of the two at the moment, he couldn't help being extremely surprised.

Thinking of the dispute in Zhengquan Palace a few days ago, and the conversation between the Queen Mother and Xing Chenmu that he had just heard, a creepy guess suddenly flashed through Yan Qing's not-so-clever mind... .
