The sunset is coming in the twilight, darkness and light are intertwined in the distant skyline, like an ancient competition.Zhu Qizhen stood on the stone steps at the head of the bridge with his hands behind his back, facing the lake in thought.

At this time, the wind blew up on the lake, and the wind was blowing and the water was surging, and the waves were more than just like his state of mind at the moment.

He loves Tan Yunxian deeply, and even in his dreams, he wants to sleep with her together, to be a loving couple, a worthy queen.He supported and helped her practice medicine and created a female doctor system for her; she could also assist him in governing the country and benefiting all people, and achieving his grand ambition of achieving a prosperous Ming Dynasty since he was a child.This is the beautiful blueprint he drew in his mind after he found out that he was deeply in love with Tan Yunxian, and it was also his dream.

What annoyed him was that before he met Tan Yunxian, he married his uncle and cousin Qian Jinluan under the order of his grandmother.At that time, the Qian family was very powerful in the court.This force can suppress Queen Mother Sun and protect his throne from any threat.Although, Qian Jinluan is also a good woman, knowledgeable and reasonable, kind and virtuous, and she is also infatuated with him...

However, he couldn't give her love in any way.For more than ten years, all he had for Qian Jinluan was respect, love and responsibility.Although there are many concubines in the harem, none of them are my favorite!

Therefore, during the years of fighting with the Queen Mother Sun, he could only rely on the Qian family who could check and balance the Queen Mother Sun, and be a "loving couple" with Qian Jinluan, hoping that she would give birth to a prince for himself, not by the Queen Mother Sun She made a son for him, always threatening his throne and the Ming Dynasty.

Like him and Qian Jinluan, it was a marriage full of political interests exchanged and completely arranged by the parents. There was no love between men and women at all. Abolish the queen, choose the woman you love.

What about him?He always thinks of others and understands the difficulty of others.Even after the Qian family lost power and Qian Jinluan completely lost his use value, he still made her his queen and respected her.

An imposing emperor, but was trapped by the secular "morality", watching his beloved woman become someone else's wife and concubine, bearing children for others, knowing that she was bullied and insulted by Wang Meilin, Wu Taifei, and even Zhu Qiyu, But because he has become powerless and imprisoned by his brother in Nangong, he can't protect her, so he can only pay attention to her silently...

Zhu Qizhen remembered that every time he listened to his confidant lurking in the palace and secretly reported to him what happened to Tan Yunxian in the palace, he would writhe in distress all night, unable to sleep...

Although Nangong is only separated from the Forbidden City by the Donghua Gate, they can still see each other occasionally.However, in the few times we met, as the emperor's favorite concubine, she always seemed like a child who had suffered a lot of grievances outside. When she saw her parents for the first time, her clear eyes were flushed, and her beautiful face, Looking at him with tears like pearls, she pursed her mouth and wanted to complain.

When talking about Zhu Qiyu's distrust of her, and actually using this kind of despicable hooliganism to test her chastity and innocence, Tan Yunxian couldn't help but cover her face and burst into tears, crying hoarsely; crying until she hiccupped Said: "If I had known this before, it would be better to die in Wala..."

Only he knows how he feels after hearing her cry... Self-blame is because he trusts others too much, believes in others' so-called "oaths", and believes in the so-called brothers who are connected by flesh and blood , and even naively thought that Zhu Qiyu would really return the throne to him!

Really, as long as Zhu Qizhen thinks of that experience, he feels too ridiculous.Thinking about this and that all day long.Sacrifice yourself for the sake of others.

After all, who really thought about him?

Therefore, for the first time, when he was sober, he hugged her who was wronged and crying bitterly in the palace garden of the Forbidden City, and stroked her hair with his broad hands to comfort her.He said, 'If I knew you would suffer so much, I would try my best to be sorry for the queen, but I should obey my heart and keep you! '...

Perhaps he was too preoccupied to hear Li Xian calling him behind him, so he couldn't help but smiled apologetically, and raised his hand to touch the stubble that hadn't grown into his chin: "It's probably because I'm old, It's always easy to think about the past. I was talking to Li Qing, but I don't know where to go."

old?He is only 34 years old, just a man's golden age, how can he say he is old?

Thinking about it, Li Xian shook his head and smiled.Due to the courtesy of the emperor and ministers, it was inconvenient for him to stand side by side with the emperor, so he could only stand on a stone step behind Zhu Qizhen's side.His eyes drifted across the lake, as if he had thought for a long time, before he opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, first of all, regardless of Madam Tan's excellent medical skills and benevolent doctors, who have rescued Daming in times of crisis several times, Madam Tan's love for you, Majesty, That kind of love, I really see it, she deserves His Majesty's love for her."

Hearing this, Zhu Qizhen couldn't help laughing, and turned to look at Li Xian: "Why, can Li Qing also see Yunxian's thoughts?" He walked two steps at the bridge with his hands behind his back, and said with inexplicable trust in him in his heart, "I don't hide anything from you. Yunxian is the only woman I have fallen in love with in my life! I fell in love with her from the first time I saw her in Yongqing Temple. However, she is... Lang Youqing, Concubine Wuwu, She chose King Tan. Although, we had a life-and-death relationship in Wala after the change of Tumubao, and even pretended to be husband and wife for a while. Later, before meeting her again, I thought that although she was not as loving as before I love King Yan, but I have him in my heart. Otherwise, I wouldn't...with me, maybe there is love, how can I compare with someone who is no longer here..."

When talking about this, Zhu Qizhen felt an inexplicable sourness in his heart.Although Zhu Qiyu has been dead for more than four years, time has changed.But as long as he thinks, or mentions that he once had Tan Yunxian, the vinegar in Zhu Qizhen's heart will inevitably turn up and hurt his heart.

The corners of Li Xian's mouth raised slightly, outlining a smile that seemed to be there.Alas, the emperor is also a human being, and like an ordinary man in love, he will be jealous of the woman he loves.

After a while, he said: "I am bold, but I think that your majesty is ignorant of love. Your majesty, the love between a man and a woman is not limited to sweet talk! I have heard a folk saying that husband and wife are birds of the same forest. , the catastrophe came and flew separately. Presumably these couples usually talk sweetly and are intoxicated in the happiness created by each other, thinking that it is love. In fact... this kind of relationship is the most unstable, and it is difficult to support each other to grow old!"

"When in Wala, when did Mrs. Tan abandon her majesty for King Tan? 12 years ago, on the day His Majesty came back from Wala, I stood very close. I saw with my own eyes that Mrs. Tan didn't even look at King Tan. Looking at Your Majesty. This is not love, what is it? This kind of feeling of sharing weal and woe, life and death, can be compared with the few words of love that King Tan used to say? If Mrs. Tan is really ruthless to His Majesty, how can she defend Beijing in the defense of Beijing? Your Majesty, ignore King Tan."

Protect him and ignore King Tan?It was still during the Beijing defense war... Li Xian's words plunged Zhu Qizhen into deep thought and memory for a long time.Suddenly, he finally remembered!

That day, when Yexian raised his long knife and slashed at him, Tan Yunxian jumped out of the car and threw himself at him completely disregarding his own safety.Obviously, King Tan was also there, but she didn't seem to see it... Even when King Tan called her name, she never agreed... Still resolutely fell into Oala with him again.She said that she would depend on him for life and death, and never leave him...

yes!In fact, he should have realized that Tan Yunxian's feelings for him were definitely not what she said in the past, but just friendship.Zhu Qizhen remembered that one night many years ago, he felt guilty and depressed because the queen mother wanted to kill Tan Yunxian, but he didn't get the news in time, which almost killed her.When he was alone in the gazebo in the garden to drink away his sorrows, he hugged her out of control and asked her: "Do you know that I like you? Tell me, do you like me at all?"

After a long time, the disappointment and loneliness she brought to him came to his ears, "No...I, I just regard you as my best friend, Qi Yu's eldest brother, sister Qian's husband..."

Yeah?Is it really?Now that I think about it, I suddenly realize that she is hesitating!If you really have no love and heartlessness towards him, how can you be so hesitant to answer?Tan Yunxian is not a procrastinator!

"I remember that year, you hugged me and asked me if I liked you. If not...I will tell you the truth. Actually, when you asked me, I didn't think about that person. All I thought about was Sister Qian, in front of Sister Qian The vows I made. I, I already realized that I like you, I... So, in the tree hole, you said you loved me again, and I really couldn't take it anymore. You know? Zakia is my love I said it. I was thinking that even if we pretend to be husband and wife with you, a lifetime is enough!"

This was what she told him in the afternoon of the reunion day.She loves him... It's just that she didn't want to be sorry to the Tan family's benevolent Empress Qian, so she had no choice but to deny her feelings for him.

With complicated thoughts, he slowly closed the floodgate of memories, nodded in agreement, but there was a bitter self-deprecating arc on the corner of his mouth: "I'm a bit slow when it comes to the relationship between men and women."

Li Xianyan remonstrated: "Your Majesty, no matter what, you still have to make a decision as soon as possible about returning to the palace! The throne is vacant, and Oara Khan and Wang Guogong are making trouble..."

Zhu Qizhen was silent for a while, then said softly: "Okay, I understand."

Well, how can it be good?Li Xian's words are not without reason, the world cannot be without a master.As an emperor, he should put the country and the country first.However, he is also a loving man.It was so easy for them to have no scruples, so easy to meet again, so easy to know that she always loved him...

How could he be willing to lose her again and create a lifelong regret?

Suddenly, Li Xian said, "Your Majesty, if... Mrs. Tan is willing to follow His Majesty back to Beijing and enter the palace..." Enter the palace?Enter the palace with him?This is really an extravagant hope that he dare not even dream of.

Although, he knew that Yunxian loved him, but what she loves the most is freedom!

Hearing this, Zhu Qizhen shook his head with a wry smile, waved his hands, interrupted his words, and said bitterly: "No, it's impossible! She is a wild goose flying freely with her own ambitions, not to be petted and locked in a cage Canary. I really love her, and I can't treat her like King Tan."

Yes, he is the one who understands her best, and the one who loves her the most.Precisely, it was this love and understanding that put him and her in a dilemma of giving or receiving.

Li Xian glanced at the sunset glow in the sky, sighed deeply, and said sympathetically, "Your Majesty and Mrs. Tan are really suffering! Wang Shifu said, I hope all lovers in the world will get married eventually. Well said! But In this world, how many lovers can get what they want?"

A "thank you" expressed his heartfelt affection for Li Xian.Li Xian understood him!Turning around, he said: "Li Qing, go back first, I will stay here for a while."

"Yes, Your Majesty has to go back to rest earlier." Li Xian responded, bowed and turned to leave.

Looking up at the sky, Zhu Qizhen sighed deeply, walked across the stone bridge...

Under Ding Xiang's suggestion, Tan Yunxian returned to the clinic and continued to diagnose patients.Doing so can relieve your depression and worries.Critical decisions are often made in a calm situation.Change the environment, change your mood.

In this way, the decision made will be correct and not impulsive and reckless...

Before he knew it, Zhu Qizhen walked to the door of Tan's Medical Center as if being led by someone.The door of the small courtyard was half open, and there were intermittent voices coming from inside, which seemed to be very lively.

Just like the first day when he came here, Zhu Qizhen stretched out his hand and slowly opened the door, only to see people who came to see a doctor scattered in an open space, a low table was set up in the middle, and some papers and pens were randomly placed on the table , Tan Yunxian was sitting at the table in plain clothes, concentrating on taking the patient's pulse.

The patient was an old woman in her fifties. She put her left hand on the consultation pad on the table and asked Tan Yunxian to feel her pulse. With the other hand, she covered half of her cheek with red bumps.Even if she is old, she is still a woman after all, after all, she does not want people to see her ugly and sick.

After a while, Tan Yunxian took her hand from her pulse point, and said with a pleasant face: "Ma'am, the red acne on your face is caused by poor Sanyinjiao, and you need to pay attention to your daily life and diet when taking medicine. In this way, I will give you a prescription." Some heat-clearing and detoxifying medicinal materials, let's adjust it first." Then, she took a piece of thin paper from the thick mess on the table, picked up a pen and wrote down the following prescription:

Two liang of fresh mung beans, three qian of wolfberry, and one qian of corn silk.

After putting away the pen, Tan Yunxian picked up the prescription with wet ink in both hands, blew on it with his lips, and handed it to the old woman after the ink was completely dry, and repeatedly said: "Ma'am, this mung bean must be put in a cool place." , store in a dry place. Dried mung beans cannot be used as medicine! You must remember that mung beans are sweet and cold in nature, which can certainly dispel heat and clear fire. However, if you take it for a long time, it will hurt the spleen and stomach, so once it works, you must stop using it .Do not eat meaty or spicy food while taking the medicine!"

"Thank you, Dr. Tan, thank you, I remember everything!" The aunt just stood up from the stone bench and sat among the patients. I've got me!" The others were sitting on the ground looking at the man and laughing, some were glibly telling nasty jokes, and some were sitting together playing bridge and telling jokes...

Zhu Qizhen's eyes swept over these patients one by one. Although they came to see a doctor, they all sat on the ground and talked intimately. There was no quarrel, calculation, or impatience. Laughing, seems to have forgotten his pain.Each of them is so simple, and they can go to see a doctor one by one in an orderly manner even without being supervised by others.

This is their life.His people are kind and simple, and they have nothing to do with the world.

At this time, a middle-aged woman who had just received the medicinal materials came out from the back room and walked towards the gate. When she raised her eyes, she saw Zhu Qizhen standing at the door like a sculpture, staring straight at the sick man. Tan Yunxian who is seeing a doctor.Dressed in a moon-white brocade straight body shirt, wearing a small crown and forehead protection, the whole body looks like an ordinary man.What's more, he has a handsome appearance and suave temperament. He has become a middle-aged man, adding a bit of the charm of a mature man, which made the woman couldn't help but look at him a few more times, turned her head and shouted at Tan Yunxian: "Miss Tan, look Is this gentleman here to look for you?"

Her loud yelling not only alarmed Tan Yunxian who was treating patients to raise his head, but also caused all the patients waiting beside to turn their heads to look at him at the door curiously.

Zhu Qizhen was a little embarrassed, standing there, not knowing whether to enter or exit the door.

But Tan Yunxian smiled slightly, patted the back of the man who was seeing a doctor lightly, stood up and walked to the door, cast a coquettish glance at Zhu Qizhen and said: "Since you're here, just come in, such a big man is blocking the door, How do you let everyone go?" While speaking, she took his hand and walked into the courtyard of the hospital, pouting at the patient team in the courtyard, and said coquettishly: "My place is small, there is nothing extra Stool, if you don't mind, just sit on the ground with everyone?"

Zhu Qizhen pursed his lips and smiled, and said dotingly: "No, I'll just stand by your side!"

As soon as he finished speaking, cheers and jokes erupted in the courtyard. The man sitting at the table shouting to see a doctor laughed the loudest. He slapped his thigh and pointed at Zhu Qizhen and said, "Doctor Tan, can you get a doctor?" Explain to everyone, who is this person of yours?"

Another patient jokingly booed: "This husband... is your girlfriend?"

"Nonsense!" As soon as the man finished speaking, he was immediately hit on the head by an old lady beside him.She turned her face, looked at Tan Yunxian and Zhu Qizhen with a smile, and said with a smile as if whispering privately: "Doctor Tan, this gentleman is your husband, right?"

Hehe, Zhu Qizhen grinned, this is how many times have they been regarded as husband and wife by outsiders?Well, there was another time when Tan Yunxian told others that he was her husband.

Korean - Zakia!

Tan Yunxian also did not shy away, smiled and said naturally: "You are right!"

After she finished speaking, she turned her face to look at him, smiled slightly, the smile was full of sweetness and happiness, and the slender hand holding Zhu Qizhen's hand was tightened tightly, as if conveying her tenderness, then she turned her head to Qingming again. He introduced to the sick people present: "Let me introduce to everyone, this is Yunxian's husband, Zheng Qi, who has been doing business in the capital, and came to see me a few days ago!"

As soon as the words fell, an elderly patient stroked his snow-white beard under his chin, stared at Zhu Qizhen with a penetrating gaze, and said "Oh", like an old alchemist who read physiognomy: "Doctor Tan's husband, handsome with a distinctive heroism, is definitely not an ordinary person!" But thinking in his heart, Doctor Tan said that he is a businessman and does business in the capital, hehe, it is just an excuse.This person has a good appearance, and he looks very imposing. He doesn't even look like those merchants who are full of money and are only looking for profit!The real identity of Mr. Zheng is probably not that simple!

"Yes, yes... Mrs. Tan is good, and she is very lucky to marry such a good husband."

Zhu Qizhen was very pleased with what he heard, smiled slightly, and let go of the hand that was held by her without a trace.Raising his arm, he simply wrapped it around Tan Yunxian's waist.
