The Emperor didn't calm down until the middle of the night and fell into a deep sleep.

However, in Rao Shi's sleep, he also vaguely heard someone in his heart.

One after another, one after another.

He also felt a warm hand, holding his hand tightly.

When the emperor finally woke up, it was already bright.

The emperor was a little confused. He didn't know whether the dream was true or not.

The familiar sound of "hong'er" came again.

The emperor opened his eyes slowly, and a figure appeared in the blurred vision. The master of the figure sat cross legged by the bed, took his hand, and looked at him with extremely kind eyes.

Why does this man look like the brother of the little doctor?

Xiaojingkong patted the back of the emperor's hand with her little hand. She coaxed chongsun with Zhao Xiaobao's grandmother next door and said: "hong'er ~"

The emperor is clever. He shakes and wakes up!

The emperor spent seven days in Bishui Hutong, where the stitches were removed and healed well.

Wei Gonggong's injury has also recovered well, that is, he is old, and the healing speed of fracture is slower than that of young people, but the injury of other parts of his body has little effect.

Living in Bishui Hutong was the most relaxed time in the emperor's life. As soon as he remembered, he knew that he was a prince of humble origin. His mother's concubine Jing treated him very well, but he could not erase the shadow of his origin.

After that, he separated his family and was beaten down by concubine Liu and the prince's elder brother. He was walking on thin ice all the time.

It was so easy for him to become emperor that he had a empress dowager Zhuang who listened to the government from behind the curtain.

He never slacked off for a moment.

This time, it was a blessing in disguise, enjoying a few days of leisure.

But he can't really hide in the blue water Hutong to be a shopkeeper all his life. He is the king of a country. He carries the country of Zhao.

After dinner, the emperor planned to drive back to the palace.

The emperor announced that he was recovering from illness in the imperial palace. In order to confuse the enemy's sight, the emperor specially transferred the master of the imperial palace to the Imperial Palace and surrounded it tightly.

No one can guarantee that there will not be a second assassination. We should be careful.

When the emperor set out from Bishui Hutong, Duke Wei went to the palace quietly. At that time, he would accompany him back to the palace.

Before the emperor got on the carriage, Aunt Liu ran over shyly, handed him a purse and ran away with her face covered!

The Emperor

Gu Changqing escorted the emperor back to the palace.

Sitting in the carriage back home, the emperor always felt something strange. After thinking about it, he didn't understand what was strange.

Until he entered the imperial study, he Gonggong reported to him, "the Empress Dowager has been ill for several days. She has been going to the court for a long time. Today, she finally can't hold on. On the way back to Renshou palace, she fainted in the Phoenix chase."

The emperor suddenly realized that it was strange. It turned out that the poisonous woman didn't go to Bishui Hutong to watch him these days.

The emperor's first reaction was to please the people, and the poisonous woman would fall one day.

The second reaction, however, was a little worried. First, he was assassinated, then the Empress Dowager fainted. After separation, there was no small turbulence, not to mention being connected again? It is easy to cause people's uneasiness and court panic.

"Didn't it get out?" Asked the emperor, frowning.

He Gonggong said: "no, Renshou palace kept the news strictly. It only said that the Empress Dowager was reading the memorials and concentrating on the government affairs. No one was allowed to disturb her. The Empress Dowager fainted in the middle of the journey. The slave has been secretly monitoring the Empress Dowager and found out. If she faints again after entering Renshou palace, I'm afraid that even the slave won't get the exact information. "

Renshou palace was originally an iron wall. After the Empress Dowager was infected with leprosy, there were a lot of people in it. Now even a fly can't fly in.

The emperor had a very bad impression of Empress Dowager Zhuang and had a great prejudice against her. He felt sorry for Empress Dowager Zhuang, but most of them were suspicious: "how can you be so clever? She fell ill as soon as I came back today? Don't you pretend to confuse me? "

This... Father he is not known.

The emperor said with a sneer, "I have just returned to the palace. It's time for me to send a greeting to my mother."

The emperor went to Renshou palace.

He Gonggong is the emperor's Secret stubble, the emperor let him go back, don't let people see that he has something to do with himself.

As for Duke Wei, his arm was injured, so the emperor asked him to go back to his room and rest with a little eunuch.

I don't pay much attention to empress dowager Zhuang.

As soon as the emperor arrived at the gate of Renshou palace, he was stopped by the master of Renshou palace.

"The Empress Dowager has orders. No one will be seen." I'm very good at it.

The emperor sneered and said, "does anyone include me, the king of a country? I'd like to know when I can't go to the palace? "

The great master looked at him suspiciously all the time. Your majesty, did you know it on the first day?

The Emperor

The emperor has a toothache!

That poisonous woman is so powerful that he can't even break through!

Just as the emperor's face was about to turn black, Duke Qin came out.

He saluted the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. The Empress Dowager is your mother. She can't see anyone but you. Your majesty, please."

Duke Qin made a gesture of please.

Duke Qin is the confidant of Empress Dowager Zhuang. His every move represents the meaning of Empress Dowager Zhuang. He thinks that empress dowager Zhuang really wakes up and wants to see her majesty, so he gives way and lets her go.

Duke Qin led the way and led the emperor to empress dowager Zhuang's bedroom.

The emperor thought that empress dowager Zhuang was doing nothing, but when he saw the Phoenix bed with the curtain closed, he felt an unknown premonition.

Duke Qin came to the bed and gently opened the curtain, revealing the pale empress dowager Zhuang on the Phoenix bed.

Such a empress dowager is too strange.

She always appears in front of people in awe inspiring manner. Even in Bishui Hutong, she is dressed in coarse cloth and hemp clothes, which can hardly hide the fierce look in her eyes.

But at this time, she lay there quietly, her breath drifting away, and she was seriously ill.

"How could that be..." The emperor was surprised.

Duke Qin sighed: "why is the Empress Dowager like this? Does your majesty really have no points in mind?"

It's a bit of a perverse thing to say.

But the emperor was so shocked that he didn't say anything. What Duke Qin meant was that the illness of Empress Dowager Zhuang had something to do with him?

How is that possible?

He hasn't done anything recently!

Was it that night?

The emperor thought it impossible.

This poisonous woman would like to get rid of him quickly, so she would not take care of him all night, and would not call him like the Jingmu imperial concubine.

All he heard was the sound of a dream.

But this can't explain the sound of "hong'er" in xiaojingkong's mouth.

If he didn't hear and see it, how could he imitate the appearance of an adult and hold his hand to call hong'er?

The emperor's mind was in a mess.

In his heart, he refused to accept this fact, not only because he refused to believe in Empress Dowager Zhuang's kindness, but also because he felt the warmth that he had not seen for a long time that night.

In a daze, he seemed to feel that Jing's mother came back.

If it's empress dowager Zhuang, isn't she saying that she has the breath of a quiet mother? This is a blasphemy to Jingmu imperial concubine!

He doesn't accept it!

derecognition!

"Duke Qin, the Empress Dowager's medicine is ready." A palace maid came into the palace with a medicine bowl and saw the emperor in the palace. She bowed herself and said, "your majesty!"

The emperor waved his hand impatiently.

The maid put the medicine bowl on the bedside table.

The emperor's eyes unconsciously ran after the medicine bowl. By chance, he caught a glimpse of a small iron box on the bedside table.

It looks familiar.

He didn't let himself think about it.

At this time, the Empress Dowager Zhuang was also awakened by the movement in the bedroom. She had seen the strong wind and waves, and her face didn't change much when she saw the emperor standing in front of her bed.

"Empress dowager, it's time to take some medicine." Qin Gonggong said with a smile.

"Take it away, I will not drink it." Empress Dowager Zhuang said lightly.

She was so weak that even her eyes and tone lost their sharpness.

Duke Qin laughed and said, "Your Majesty has come to see you."

"I don't want him to look at it," she said

Since stabbing the window paper, as long as they are not in the Jinluan palace, they almost no longer pretend to be motherly and filial.

The emperor stood upright in front of the bed and looked down at her.

At this moment, he really felt that she was old. Maybe she would not live for a few years. Once she drove West, the power of the imperial government would naturally return to him.

He thought so in his heart, but said sarcastically: "if the empress goes like this, the Jinluan palace will be lonely in the future, and no one will discuss the government affairs with me."

Empress Dowager Zhuang stares at him coldly: "unfilial son. Don't be so paranoid. I'm sure I'll live longer than you. "

The emperor looked at her in his spare time.

Empress Dowager Zhuang struggled to sit up.

Qin Gonggong helped her and handed her the decoction.

Empress Dowager Zhuang drank a bowl of bitter bile, and there was not a drop left.

After the Empress Dowager drank the medicine, the emperor left Renshou palace.

He didn't rush back to his bedroom, but went to the imperial study. He asked people to call the prince and test his lessons these days.

The emperor found that the prince's arithmetic had made great progress: "who taught these subjects?"

After a pause, the prince replied, "Hanlin Academy."

The emperor looked at the prince and said, "I know your arithmetic is taught by the Imperial Academy. Who is the Imperial Academy official I asked?"

The prince opened his mouth reluctantly: "Xiao Xiuzhuan."

"Is that him?" As soon as the emperor's eyes brightened, he laughed happily. "I'm really right. Your arithmetic has not improved all the year round. I thought you were stupid, but now it doesn't count. You can still learn it if you have an excellent teacher to teach you."

How can the prince answer this?

It's just too weak to refute, OK?

It can't be said that you are wrong. I'm really stupid.

To be fair, the prince's qualification is not bad. Although he is not as good as the eldest son, ningwang, he is far better than the other princes.

But Prince pianke, he just does not love arithmetic, but the emperor and incomparable see recalculation.

The emperor was just trying, but it was really effective. He nodded with satisfaction: "yes, I'll let him come to give you a lecture next time."

The prince's face changed: "father

The emperor looked at him faintly: "how? Do you have a problem? "

The prince realized his gaffe, arched his hand, and said: "son Chen... Son Chen just wondered why his father wanted a Xiuzhuan to teach him? Don't you think your father thinks highly of his children's ministers? "

It's a bit perfunctory to let a new Hanlin official lecture for the prince of a country.

The emperor put down the memorial and frowned at the Prince: "I don't think highly of you. I'll try my best to teach you? You are the crown prince of a country. Can you not always care about other people's opinions? "

The prince mumbled: "I don't care what others think..."

"What's that?" Asked the emperor in a deep voice.

The prince wants to talk but stops.

The emperor frowned and said, "if you don't say it, you will step down."

The prince dropped his eyes and said, "he looks too much like his cousin. When my son sees him, he will always think of his cousin who died early. He will feel sad."

The emperor thought: "so you have to be sad to learn?"

The prince was stunned.

Wait, father, you seem to be wrong with me!

The emperor said, "your historiography is also a little unsatisfactory. In the future, Xiao Xiu will write a lecture on historiography."

The prince is going crazy!

It's not enough to see you once in ten days, but it's not enough to see you twice in ten days!

He didn't want to look at Xiao LIULANG's face!

The prince clenched his fist: "father

The emperor had made up his mind. He waved his hand and said, "it's settled. Go back and let Xiao Qi come to me at night."

I haven't seen little fat man for a few days. I miss him a little.

The emperor is not an ordinary father. He is the king first, and then the father. However, in the past few days of healing in the blue water alley, he always sees xiaojingkong dangling in front of him, which makes people want to be a father.

Of course, it's not for Xiao Jingkong to be a father. The child is so weird that he can't stand it.

He wants to find the sense of achievement of being a father in his own little fat man.

After the prince left the imperial study, the emperor asked people to call King Ning.
