sick princess

The moment she learned of Zhou Gui's death, Baoluo's heart was completely relaxed.

For more than ten years, Zhou Guiren has always been a mountain pressing on the heads of their mother and son, a sharp knife hanging in the air, who does not know when it will fall.Today, this mountain and this sharp blade have finally been completely eliminated.

"The Seventh Brother was benevolent, and he personally avenged Concubine Shu." Baoluo murmured, "The remaining Second Brother and Fifth Sister are no good, as long as they send someone to watch..."

Baoluo didn't intend to kill them all, but this is an extremely sensitive time after all.If the Second Prince and Ji Qinghan were going to cause trouble over the death of nobleman Zhou, then she had no choice but to deal with them.After all, in Baoluo's eyes, nothing is more important than the safety of Empress Xu and the Crown Prince, and she will not leave them any hidden dangers.

"Once the Zhou family fell, now, the only one who needs to be vigilant is the queen mother—"

Although Emperor Zhaode personally said that he would adopt the fifth prince to the late King Chu, who was also the empress dowager's own son, it was only a verbal order in the end, and the empress dowager must obstruct it in every possible way without a formal decree.

But after hearing the news of Zhou's death, Emperor Zhaode seemed to have something on his mind, and his condition worsened again, and now he is unconscious.When Baoluo was sick, she looked at Emperor Zhaode lying on the hospital bed, who seemed to be ten years old, and was very worried whether Emperor Zhaode would just go away.

After a period of careful recuperation, Emperor Zhaode's condition has improved, but because of Zhou nobleman's affairs, Emperor Zhaode was first impeached by the censor for his lack of personal morality and shamelessness, and his condition deteriorated sharply in a fit of anger. I fell under the highly medicinal He-Huan-San... Now, Emperor Zhaode's body has completely collapsed.

He just lay on the bed unconsciously, if it wasn't for the weak breathing in his chest, I'm afraid everyone would suspect that he just went there in his sleep.

I don't know if the queen mother will take the opportunity to attack Emperor Zhaode in order to prevent Emperor Zhaode from adopting the fifth prince.

This thought only stayed in Baoluo's heart for a moment.

The queen mother should not attack Emperor Zhaode at this juncture. After all, once Emperor Zhaode goes, although no one will force the fifth prince to succeed, the prince, the orthodox heir of the Great Xia, will also ascend the throne. At that time, the fifth prince really had no hope.

Baoluo didn't believe that the Queen Mother would accept such a result after forbearance and planning for so many years.

Baoluo and the prince could feel that the power hidden behind the queen mother was about to move recently.At present, Emperor Zhaode is unable to control the overall situation, and the people in the court are panicked.Although the crown prince can control a part of the power, his status is still inferior to that of Emperor Zhaode.

If she were the queen mother...she would definitely try to delay the time until her own people took control of the situation.Then, remove Emperor Zhaode and put the blame on the crown prince.Only in this way can the prince, who is a legitimate prince, lose his righteousness.

Baoluo thought about it, and couldn't help but be fascinated.It wasn't until a gust of cool wind blew that she couldn't help covering her mouth and coughing.

Leaning against the wall with one side of her body, she felt a sense of dizziness in her head, and her brain throbbed with pain, presumably due to the recent overuse of her brain.Even though she seems to have done nothing recently, in fact, when Emperor Zhaode and the crown prince went out to fight, she assisted the empress to stabilize the harem; It took a lot of effort, so naturally it was not easy.

Baoluo was already physically weak, and he had worked hard for a long time, and his spirit was always tense. It was not easy to be able to survive until now.

Bi Yao looked at his master's pale face, and couldn't help worrying: "Princess, are you all right, do you want to call the imperial physician?"

"No, it's just an old problem, just take some medicine, that's it." Baoluo opened her eyes, her eyes were clear and clear: "You must not tell the empress mother and the elder brother of the prince about this matter." Now is the critical moment, Empress Xu Both the prince and the prince are working very hard, how can she let the two of them be distracted by her again?

"But..." It's not appropriate to hide this from Queen Xu and the prince.If the two of them find out afterwards, I'm afraid they will be very angry.Furthermore, Bi Yao was also worried that if others didn't know, his master would not take his body seriously and just hold on.

"No but." Baoluo said indifferently: "If the queen mother and the prince's elder brother hear something, I will only ask you."

Bi Yao sighed.After all, Baoluo is the master, no matter how worried she is, she can't make up her mind for Baoluo.

Bi Yao settled down, and said: "Then, the princess must also promise the servant to take medicine and take care of her body. If the princess's condition deteriorates again, even if she tries to be scolded by the princess, the servant will tell the queen and the queen everything." His Royal Highness."

Although her tone was humble and respectful, her tone did not allow rejection.

In the end, it was all about her, and it was not easy for Baoluo to punish her, so she could only rub her brows and said, "Got it."

From this day on, Baoluo still went to Qianyuan Palace every day, but the time she stayed in Qianyuan Palace became shorter and shorter.

At this time, Emperor Zhaode was awake only two or three hours a day.It's okay when he's asleep, but when he's awake, his temper becomes more and more violent. Even Baoluo, who has always been loved by him, is often thrown by him when he feeds him medicine.

Naturally, Lan Chengyu, who was guarding outside the Qianyuan Palace, would not be ignorant of this.

One day, when Baoluo came out of Qianyuan Palace with a tired face, Lan Chengyu grabbed Baoluo's wrist and pulled her to an empty corner.

Seeing the burnt red mark on Baoluo's fair jade wrist, Lan Chengyu's eyes flashed with distress and annoyance.At the same time, for the first time in his heart, he felt resentment towards the always loyal Emperor Zhaode.

"Does it hurt?" Lan Chengyu stretched out his hand cautiously, as if he wanted to touch Baoluo's burnt place, but he was afraid that it would hurt her, so he didn't dare to do it.

Baoluo looked at the mark on her wrist: "Fortunately, I'm used to it."

Recently, Emperor Zhaode was moody and angry, and when he became irritable, he would do any hurtful thing, and when he was a little calmer, he would feel guilty towards her again.

"I have healing medicine here, let me wipe it on for you." It was also because Lan Chengyu had been in the army all year round and often suffered some injuries, so he took the medicine with him. Unexpectedly, at this moment, But it came in handy.

"No need, I'll go back by myself..." Baoluo just wanted to wave his hand to refuse, but Lan Chengyu had already grabbed her hand and applied the ointment to her wound.Baoluo was stunned, only to feel that the callused fingertips gently brushed against her wrist, causing ripples in her heart.

The ointment was indeed extremely useful, but within a short time, Baoluo felt a coolness on his wrist, and the pain eased a lot.

It wasn't until Lan Chengyu withdrew his hand and stuffed the tube of ointment into Baoluo's hand that she finally came to her senses: "...Thank you."

" Between you and me, why do you need to say thank you?" Lan Chengyu stared at Baoluo, seeing her pale face, he couldn't help frowning her handsome brows: "These days, you should stop being sick, and take a good rest. If you continue like this, you will become a patient."

"It doesn't matter, I have my own measure." Baoluo said: "Right now, it's the time when I can't leave Father's side...I can feel more at ease by being by Father's side."

She doesn't worry about letting the empress dowager's people or other concubines' people stay by Emperor Zhaode's side. Anything is fatal.

"Why are you so stubborn?" Lan Chengyu looked at Baoluo and shook his head.

It's not that he doesn't know what Baoluo is worried about, but, in his heart, those things are not as important as Baoluo's body.But Baoluo is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, how can others easily change her ideas?

"Don't worry, we'll be fine after we get through this." Baoluo also knew that Lan Chengyu cared about her, so naturally she wouldn't be ungrateful.

After a few more days, Baoluo finally couldn't take it anymore, and collapsed limply in his own palace, pouring bowl after bowl of bitter juice into his stomach.

"Princess, look, the maidservant told you, even if you want to hide it from the Empress and His Royal Highness, you won't be able to hide it for long. Besides, if you don't pay attention to your body, how can you hide it from them?" Bi Yao's eyes were full of disapproval.

Empress Xu and the crown prince have been busy recently and paid less attention to Baoluo, but they are not fools.

When they found that Baoluo's spirit was getting worse and worse, they naturally forbade her to go to the Qianyuan Palace to serve the sick, and forced her to recuperate in their own palace.

Baoluo coughed lightly: "Okay, okay, am I already recovering from my illness? Sister Biyao, please let me, the poor patient, go."

"Princess, you always admit your mistakes with a good attitude, but next time you do not make mistakes..." Although Bi Yao still had a straight face, her tone softened obviously. In her expression, there were both worries about Baoluo and A trace of deep helplessness.

"It won't be like this again in the future... After getting through this test, we won't have to live in such fear all day long." Baoluo looked at Bi Yao and said seriously.

"I hope so." Bi Yao didn't have any hope for this.

Just when everyone thought that Emperor Zhaode's condition would continue to remain stagnant, or even worsen, within a few days, news suddenly came from Qianyuan Palace that Emperor Zhaode's condition began to improve with the help of the elixir !

Whether it was Baoluo or the prince, they all smelled something unusual behind the news.

"The elixir, who actually offered it to the father? Who has seen the father in recent days?" Baoluo said with deep eyes.
