Chapter 51 The Emperor is seriously ill

Just after the end of the year, the aftertaste of the Spring Festival has not dissipated. Yongkang Emperor Xiao Ze is sick and is very ill. First of all, I just suffered from the wind and cold. After the imperial doctor prescribed the medicine, I didn't get better, and then I couldn't stop getting fever. Later, it turned out that even the imperial doctor could not be diagnosed and treated. After ten consecutive days in the morning, Xiao Yuanqi acted as the crown prince on behalf of state affairs and picked up the heavy burden on the court.

Xiao Ze fell ill, and the wind direction in the court changed rapidly. The dispute between the two parties is gradually emerging, but the Wang family is afraid because of Xiao Yuanfeng's unstable mind.

More and more temptations appear on the court, and the harem also plans to do so.

Shen Sirong, as the crown princess, has to serve around. Previously, Shufei guarded Xiao Ze alone, and there was no room for Shen Sirong to intervene at all. Later, after guarding the Shangyang Palace for a few days, Shufei came less. She only said that Shufei was too sad and had accumulated fatigue. In this way, Shen Sirong came to Shangyang Palace to serve.

"My daughter-in-law meets my father."

Shen Sirong worshipped and raised his eyes to see Xiao Ze's thin hand moving slightly, so he directly got up and stepped on the dragon couch and stood on the side of the dragon couch. Several eunuchs and left-behind imperial doctors around Xiao Ze saluted her. Shen Sirong didn't care about these etiquette, but saw that one of them was holding a bowl of medicine, which was Mother Lan.

"What is the father's condition?"

Shen Sirong frowned and looked at Xiao Ze's deeper and deeper eyes. His previous essence seemed to have almost disappeared, and suddenly seemed to have aged for several years. She couldn't bear it and stepped forward to ask the imperial doctor.

The imperial doctor knelt aside indifferently and was not afraid of her. He said something about the occasional wind chill, the spleen and stomach discord caused by excessive fatigue, resulting in fever.

"Don't say what you don't have, just say how your father can get rid of your fever now." Shen Sirong looked at the imperial doctor unhappily, and the imperial doctor's eyes dodged and lowered his head to stop silent.

It's right, but isn't there no one diagnosed Xiao Ze's condition? Who are you talking about now? They knew that these imperial doctors did not dare to use heavy drugs on Xiao Ze, and it was difficult to suppress this sudden illness. In order to save my life, I have to talk about some similar diseases, but I can only think about the medicine again and again.

"Sirong."

Xiao Ze called softly, and Shen Sirong stood a foot beside him and bowed to Xiao Ze. Xiao Ze nodded, with a bright light in his half-open eyes.

seemed to feel something, and Shen Sirong asked the palace people to retreat. Xiao Ze frowned and patted the edge of the bed with difficulty, signaling her to sit down and talk.

Shen Sirong just sat down, but found that there was still a person standing behind her, and now he was standing behind the curtain. It's not easy for people to discover her existence, but she stands there.

"M Mother Lan, why don't you retreat?" Shen Sirong asked sharply.

Xiao Ze turned his head and looked at Mother Lan, with a cloudy hazy in her eyes. Mother Lan lowered her head, raised the medicine in her hand and replied, "Princess, the emperor hasn't drunk this medicine yet, so I really dare not retreat."

This reason is indeed well found. Although Shen Sirong is unhappy, it is not Xiao Ze's turn to say anything.

"Let it go, you step back."

Xiao Ze's voice was hoarse and low, and his breath was unstable. After saying that, he coughed violently. Mother Lan put down the medicine bowl and withdrew from the bedroom.

"Father, she..." Shen Sirong waited for her to go out before opening his mouth. Guo Guanghai blocked outside the Shangyang Palace, otherwise Mother Lan would not dare to be so unruly at this time.

Xiao Ze waved his hand to interrupt her question, and Shen Sirong stopped talking. Although Mother Lan is too ignorant of the rules, at least she is from Shangyang Palace. Xiao Ze doesn't blame her, and Shen Sirong should not say anything.

Holding his breath for a while, he made sure that there was really no one outside before Xiao Ze sat up.

"What do you think of Yuan Qi?" Xiao Ze did not shy away and asked bluntly.

Shen Sirong was shocked. At this time, Xiao Ze asked her what she thought of Xiao Yuanqi. In fact, he was testing her loyalty. Xiao Yuanqi is the sincere protection of Xiao Ze in the dispute between the two parties. Concubine must be clear about this, so she tried her best to mess up the position of the East Palace before.

"Your Highness is very good." Shen Sirong replied with a smile.

Xiao Ze's sharp eyes looked up and down on Shen Sirong's smile. Shen Sirong's knife-like eyes were a little unbearable. She continued to say, "Your Highness's achievements are outstanding, and he must be a wise king."

"Is this the second time I've had a good heart-to-heart talk with you?" Xiao Ze sighed and changed the topic. Shen Sirong did not dare to take it lightly.

"Yes."

"I have always felt that you would be a good helper for Yuan Qi."

"My daughter-in-law is frightened."

Xiao Ze saw that she was really panicked and smiled a few times: "You don't have to be nervous. I didn't want you to come today to test you." Xiao Zeming said it, and Shen Sirong also let go of half of his heart.

"My daughter-in-law dare not."

"The most sorry thing in my life is Yuan Qi's mother, and I know how cold the queen's position is. Ha ha, looking at Yuanqi and you, I thought of many years ago... cough... cough..."

Shen Sirong patted Xiao Ze on the back and went smoothly.

"Father, please have a good rest and take good care of yourself. My daughter-in-law has a lot of time to talk to you." Shen Sirong saw that Xiao Ze was a little powerless.

"I know this body best. I just want to give you four words today. Remember it well and stay with Yuan Qi. I can see that he cares about you very much.

Xiao Ze's last sentence made Shen Sirong stunned for a moment. Do you care? She doesn't know.

"My daughter-in-law will obey my father's request, but I don't know which four words my father will send?"

"I want you to remember four words - 'heart to heart'." Xiao Ze was very cautious, and the furrows between his eyebrows seemed to be a little deeper.

Shen Sirong muttered his heart to heart, but he didn't know how to solve these four words.

"My daughter-in-law remembered it." Shen Sirong nodded heavily to Xiao Ze's expected eyes.

"The Empress Shu has arrived."

Concubine Shu got the news. Although she didn't feel that Shen Sirong could say anything to Xiao Ze, she was always worried. After another inquiry, there was no servant in the hall, and Shufei's anger rushed up. She just feels that she has to take a look now.

Guo Guanghai couldn't stop Concubine from coming, so he had to lead her in. He announced loudly not far from the bedroom, which confirmed what Concubine Shu thought.

She opened the door, and Shen Sirong was sitting on the edge of the bed, opposite Xiao Ze.

"I don't know that the crown princess and the emperor are chatting in private here, taking the liberty..." Concubine Shu didn't seem to know that Shen Sirong was here at all. She went forward to salute and said with a little embarrassment.

There is not a word of excessive, but secretly scolding Shen Sirong that he should not be alone with Xiao Ze.

"I've met the Empress Shu." Shen Sirong knew that it was useless to explain at this moment and didn't want to explain anything. After saluteing, she stopped talking. She stood up and pushed aside and left Xiao Ze's position on the edge of Shufei.

"Guo Guanghai, you send the crown princess out."

Xiao Ze looked at Shufei, her face unchanged, but her eyes were much dim, and she didn't have enough strength to speak. With a trembling ending, Shen Sirong heard a violent cough from inside when he stepped out of the temple door. She felt strange and walked faster under her feet.

Returning to the East Palace, Xiao Yuanqi has not yet returned. All the political affairs today have been handed over to him. He has been supervising the country for a long time, but he is still very tired because of the deliberate intentions of some officials.

"Mother." In Shangyang Palace, she was busy all morning and was very tired when she came back. She hurried to serve lunch for her, while the wet nurse was nervous.

Shen Sirong's heart was full of words from the emperor to her, which actually had some entrusted semantics. Seeing that she was not in a good mood, the wet nurse put a cushion embroidered with peach blossom texture behind her: "Mother, you should relax no matter what."

"The wet nurse, I..." Shen Sirong was a little eager to talk. Just now, she wanted to rely on the wet nurse to talk, but she realized that this was not Xiaoyuan.

"Madam, Your Highness sent someone to see it in the morning. I heard that Your Highness did not go to the Qinzheng Hall today." The wet nurse speculed how to tell her that Xiao Yuanqi was also ill.

"Oh?" Shen Sirong knew that Xiao Yuanqi would not ignore political affairs for no reason, unless... unless something happened.

"Your Highness is in the palace?" Shen Sirong asked.

The freehand wrote came in with something, and the wet nurse came forward and picked it up for her: "Yes, the mother-in-law will eat something first before making plans."

Shen Sirong nods and sits down, and the wet nurse wants her to plan. She had no appetite, so she ate some casually and went to Chongwen Hall.

Xiao Yuanqi was not in the study, but rested in the palace. Wang Guangrong saw that she didn't go in to report and let her go. I think Xiao Yuanqi had told him.

Opening the curtain, the silk curtain could not stop the bleak white figure on the bed. Shen Sirong only felt that the tip of her nose was a little sore. She took her steps lightly and got closer to the bed. The stove in the room melted the cold air on her body. She took a breath, and her nose was full of the calm and mellow fragrance of dragon.

I haven't seen him for a few days. Xiao Yuanqi has lost a lot of weight. He has a thick blue and black under his eyes. At first sight, he knows that he has stayed up for several nights, and his chin is also thick because of the thin beard. His nose fluctuated with his breathing, and he thought that Xiao Yuanqi was extremely tired. Otherwise, with his vigilance, how could he not even know that she came in?

Seeing that the brocade on his body was not tightly covered, Shen Sirong came forward and bowed down to press the corner of the quilt for him. When I straightened up, my scalp was pulled to a pain.

When I raised my eyebrows and looked down, I just looked at a pair of dark eyes, not far away, and the eyes were thick. Xiao Yuanqi was holding a wisp of hair that Shen Sirong had never picked up. Looking at the smooth hair around his fingertips, Shen Sirong was full of indescribable palpitations. She awkwardly withdrew her hand that was still on Xiao Yuanqi's side and wanted to stay away from the bed, but Xiao Yuanqi held her wrist.
