Chapter 284 The Emperor is Sick

Ning Que hurried over after receiving the letter.

Today he climbed over the wall again, and he climbed more smoothly, and finally he didn't break his leg.

"Why did you come so quickly?" Xu Zhi looked at him and said in surprise.

Ning Que bowed first, and then said: "I'm off duty earlier today."

Xu Zhi asked again: "Have you eaten?"

Ning Que smiled and said: "Madam, do you have something to ask you?"

Xu Zhi said embarrassedly: "Yes..."

Ning Que said: "Is it an important matter?"

Seeing that he was so accommodating, Xu Zhi became stubborn instead, and insisted that the maid serve the food first, and asked Ning Que to sit down and eat while talking.

Xu Zhi roughly told Xu Qianru's story.

"Due to the limitations of the harem, I can't find out much. We don't know who Mr. Fang is..."

Ning Que didn't say that he went to find out, his face was slightly stiff: "This is an open conspiracy."

"What?" Xu Zhi was stunned.

Ning Que said in a deep voice: "So many happy events have fallen on the Xu family at the same time. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that there is something wrong. But even if they know there is something wrong, will your brothers be willing to refuse? The son of the Marquis, the daughter of the county magistrate... what lies before the Xu family is a chance to completely turn things around."

Xu Zhi said angrily: "Are they really coming for King Xuan? Who wants to harm King Xuan? Then I will definitely not let the Xu family get involved!"

Ning Que sighed: "This is not the interest of one person, but the interest of the whole family."

"So what?" Xu Zhi clenched her hands into fists. She looked firm on the surface, but she was also very scared in her heart. She was afraid that her family would choose the interests.

Ning Que was silent for a while: "I have a shallow foundation in the capital, and the arrangements are not enough. If I want to solve this matter, I am afraid that Master Lin will take action. Or..."

He looked at her with some heartache.

Or, she should be prepared to turn against her relatives.

Xu Zhi exhaled heavily, feeling a little depressed.

Ning Que tried to hold back, but finally couldn't. He stood up and walked behind her, took off his outer robe, but didn't dare to put it on her shoulders. He just opened it to block the cold wind for her.

A snowflake fell on his shoulder.

I don't know when it has entered the bitter winter.

That day, Emperor Liang De asked about the progress of Prince Xuan and his wife.

The servants answered: "They have arrived in Fengcheng."

The veins on Emperor Liang De's forehead jumped: "It's so close, why don't you rush to the capital?"

How could the servants answer?

Ordinary people would crawl to see the emperor, for fear of missing the time.

But Prince Xuan and his wife dragged and dragged, and were even worse than turtles on the road.

Emperor Liang De pressed his forehead: "Forget it..."

At this time, the eunuch came in and said: "Your Majesty, the Seventh Prince is begging you to go over."

Emperor Liang De said helplessly: "Why has the prince been so spoiled these days?"

The eunuch whispered: "It is said that the illness has recurred."

Emperor Liang De felt pity and got up to go.

But today, before he got close, he saw the imperial physician stumbling out. When he saw Emperor Liang De from a distance, he knelt down and cried: "I wish you death! I wish you death!"

Emperor Liang De's heart tightened: "What's going on? Could it be that the Seventh Prince is dying?"

The imperial physician opened and closed his mouth, and finally squeezed out a voice: "Your Majesty, the Seventh Prince may have... may have bone steaming disease."

"What did you say?" Emperor Liang De shouted, "If you dare to talk nonsense, I will execute you immediately!"

The imperial physician trembled and said: "I, I dare not talk nonsense."

Emperor Liang De's face finally changed.

Bone steaming disease is not common nowadays.

But when the late emperor was alive, bone steaming disease was rampant in the capital. Bone steaming disease can spread quickly to other people and is very easy to cause death. Countless people died in a short time.

So the late emperor had to issue a self-blame edict.

It was at this moment that the late emperor realized that he, as a father, had to issue a self-blame edict, while Prince Zhang, as a son, was highly respected and had a very good reputation among the people, and he was very annoyed.

Emperor Liang De frowned, dispelled the unpleasant memories in his mind, and said quickly: "Immediately seal off the palace from top to bottom and do not allow entry and exit. The imperial physician stays in the palace and does not need to go home until the seventh prince recovers."

The imperial physician was like a bereaved mother, but did not dare to refuse.

Emperor Liang De looked around and felt a headache.

There were countless people in the palace who had come into contact with the seventh prince.

Even he himself...

I didn't feel it before, but now Emperor Liang De felt that even the slightest breath made his chest feel stagnant.

"Call the imperial physician Wang and the imperial physician Feng." Emperor Liang De said with a gloomy face, looking at the imperial physician who was still kneeling on the ground, "Why didn't you diagnose the seventh prince's illness before? You'd better come up with a reasonable excuse."

After that, Emperor Liang De waved his sleeves and left.

For a while, the people in the palace were in a panic.

Concubine Dong shed countless tears and didn't even dare to meet the emperor.

What happened in the palace was unknown outside the palace.

The ministers only knew that Emperor Liang De was ill and suspended the court meetings for the past two days.

Here, Emperor Liang De leaned on the bed.

After the two imperial doctors Wang and Feng finished their treatment, he opened his eyes and asked, "How is it?"

The two were relatively calm and said, "Your Majesty is still healthy."

"No..." Emperor Liang De savored these two words, "In other words, I may fall ill one day, right?"

"...Yes."

Emperor Liang De was not angry.

He just frowned and did not speak for a long time.

Why at this time?

When King Xuan was about to return to Beijing...

If he fell ill...I'm afraid...No. I shouldn't think of King Xuan like this.

"Have you read the classics of the previous emperor?" Emperor Liang De asked.

"Yes..."

"I remember that it was written in the classics at that time that those who got it would die, and no doctor could cure it."

"...Yes." Their voices trembled a little.

"Epidemics will not arise without reason...Investigate! Investigate it strictly for me!" Emperor Liang De's face was stern.

Fengcheng.

Xue Qingyin took a bite of dried apricots, and her eyes narrowed because of the sourness.

But she still ate it one bite after another, with a kind of self-abuse addiction. After eating this thing, she will be able to eat it again after a while.

King Xuan pushed the door in at this time.

Xue Qingyin got up lazily.

It had been nearly three months on the road, and her belly was already showing. It was like putting a bulging melon rind on it, Xue Qingyin thought to herself.

"Yinyin." King Xuan walked up to her and spread his palm.

There was a butterfly-shaped jade in his palm.

Xue Qingyin reached out to take it and said in surprise: "It's really warm?"

When she entered Fengcheng, she sat in a teahouse and heard people say that there was a butterfly-shaped warm jade in Yongcuiju in Fengcheng, which was warm to the touch, and also told a sad and moving story behind this jade.

Xue Qingyin was a little interested and wanted to go to Yongcuiju to take a look.

But it suddenly snowed outside, and the Xuanjiawei and others escorted her back to her residence, and King Xuan went to buy the butterfly-shaped jade without making a sound.

Xue Qingyin was a little embarrassed.

Because she would lose interest in this thing after playing with it for two days...

Along the way, King Xuan didn't know how many things she asked about casually he bought.

Xue Qingyin put down the jade, bit her chopsticks, and whispered: "It's so close, aren't we going to Beijing?"

King Xuan raised his hand to serve her the dishes himself, and whispered to comfort her: "Yinyin, wait a few more days."

At first they walked slowly, and Xue Qingyin was afraid that her body couldn't bear it.

But now...

"Imperial Physician Song said that my body is very well taken care of, and the fetus is very stable..." Xue Qingyin tilted her head and looked at him.

"No hurry." King Xuan put some dishes in her bowl.

Xue Qingyin hurriedly said: "I don't like this chicken soup with bamboo shoots these two days. I feel the fishy smell."

King Xuan immediately ordered people to remove it.

Xue Qingyin pointed to another pear soup on the table and said, "This tastes fresh."

King Xuan responded, "Yes, I remember it."

Xue Qingyin didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "What are you remembering? My taste has changed over the days, and I can't even tell for sure. What's there to remember?"

Du Hongxue said cautiously, "Because I need to prepare the ingredients early."

"Yes?" Xue Qingyin turned her head away.

Du Hongxue peeked at King Xuan's face, and then dared to continue, "Just like this bamboo shoot, it is quite rare in winter. Whatever the princess likes, it must be prepared two days in advance, so that the princess can eat it when she remembers it in the middle of the night. It doesn't matter if she doesn't like it, but I'm afraid that the food she likes can't be found one day..."

Xue Qingyin licked her lips and suddenly realized...

Yes.

This is not the future with extremely developed logistics.

Whatever she wants to eat, she must write it down and prepare it in advance, right?

Besides, it was winter and they were on the road all the time. Although they walked slowly, they were still on the road, so some food was even harder to find.

They also had to guard against being damaged by frost.

Xue Qingyin sighed, "I am well-fed now, all thanks to your Highness."

As she spoke, she turned her head and looked at Du Hongxue and others, smiling, "You should also be rewarded!"

Du Hongxue blushed and said, "I dare not." It would be great if the princess could get better!

God knows that when the princess vomited violently before, not to mention that their Highness's face was so ugly, they were all worried enough.

Xue Qingyin still took out some golden melon seeds for them, and then leaned against King Xuan.

King Xuan held her down: "I need to change my clothes. I feel a bit cold."

Xue Qingyin was surprised: "What? Were you caught in the snow?"

Du Hongxue said from behind: "It's windy today and the umbrella is broken."

Xue Qingyin frowned: "Hurry up and take a bath and change your clothes. I'll sit here and eat by myself."

King Xuan had to get up.

Xue Qingyin forgot to ask why they were not in a hurry to enter the capital.
