Da Suining

Chapter 247
It was cold in winter, and the emperor went to stay overnight with Concubine Mei. Concubine He tossed and turned in the middle of the night, so she said that she had a headache and asked the maid to invite the emperor.

The emperor originally wanted to say that I am not an imperial physician, but he didn't want to make concubine He face, so it would be both rain and dew.

She is so old, it's rare that she still thinks about it.

There was snow at night and the road was difficult.

When he arrived at the Concubine's Palace, the emperor shrank his neck from the cold, and lay down under the bed without warming up in the middle of the night.

When I got up and went to the morning routine, I wanted to catch up on sleep, but the complicated affairs were delayed again, so my forehead started to feel hot.

Concubine He hurriedly called Guo Wei into the palace, saying that she was waiting for illness.

The emperor lay on the brocade couch, ate a piece of cake, but fell asleep softly.

The eunuch named Guo Kai came back after leaving the palace for a while, followed by Guo Kai and Xiang Yan, they met halfway, it was a coincidence.

Guo Cheng came in with a bruised nose and a swollen face.

As soon as he entered the concubine's courtyard, he bent his knees and knelt down beside the red gold stove with his head tilted.

Xiang Yan was wearing a bright purple robe with wide sleeves woven with daffodils, a red gold hairpin on her head, and a pink flower on her temple. She was also kneeling with her head bowed.

Both of them were speechless.

According to the usual practice, at this time, Guo Kai should throw himself on the emperor anyway, and weep a few times to express his condolences.

Seeing her son like this, Concubine He immediately lost the thought of caring about the emperor, and nodded Guo Cheng's head in a low voice: "You, you."

Then she whispered to Xiangyan with a sullen face: "You are the concubine of the mansion, with such a noble status, you are not satisfied with being a concubine's daughter, relying on the child in your belly, you actually beat the prince like this? I didn't expect that look An honest and friendly family like Mr. Xiang still has such a style of family? You are still like this, and you still have the heart to dress up, and you are trying to annoy me with your fancy dress?"

Xiangyan wept aggrievedly: "Report"

"You don't have to report back, beat my son like this, if you weren't pregnant."

"I do not have"

"You still dare to quibble, it's because you are arrogant and pampered, I said earlier, this marriage is not suitable, but you gave me ecstasy."

"Mother, don't make any trouble." Guo Kai was very frustrated: "If there is nothing else, I will go back home. The road will be windy and snowy, and the sedan chair will not be easy to travel for a while."

Concubine He stared, nuzui looked at the place where the emperor was lying, and gave Guo Kai a wink, which meant that she hurried away before seeing your father, Yumu head.

It happened that the maid came in with a decoction, Concubine He signaled to bring the decoction to Guo Kai, Guo Kai took it, and brought the medicine to the emperor on the sickbed.

"Your majesty, I heard that you were sick, and he came here in the snow, his robe was half wet, what a filial piety. He."

"Needless to say, I heard everything just now." The emperor sighed, propped himself up, leaned on a soft pillow, squinted his eyes and took a sip of the medicine given by Guo Kai, and then took advantage of the hot towel to apply to his head. Slowly took a breath: "Why are you being beaten again? Is there anyone who dares to make things difficult for you, a majestic prince? As an indomitable man, he didn't need any flesh and blood injuries to complain to your mother. Now that you are starting a family, you have to take care of everything." .”

"Yes."

The emperor took another sip of the medicine, and when he opened his eyes and saw Guo Kai, the emperor almost spat out a mouthful of the medicine, swallowed it, and heard a gurgle in his throat: "Why are you beaten like a blind bear? Do you want to do it?"

"Except for those two who have suffered thousands of knives and can't get along with me, who else is there?"

"Ok?"

"The princess's family, with that dead eunuch and dead doctor."

"Is it the eunuch or the imperial physician?"

"Dead Imperial Physician." Guo Cheng was extremely aggrieved.

"Ok?"

Guo Kai then explained how Lan Tui and Lu Yu beat him up.

Anyway, it wasn't the first time these two beat him up, and they were familiar with it.

Therefore, Guo Kai's description is also familiar with the road.

"Lan Tui from the Princess's family used to look like a decent child, but the bigger he got, the more he messed up." Concubine He looked up at the emperor's face. The emperor didn't know whether it was because he was upset or he wanted to protect Lan Tui. After all, he was the son of the princess family. Is it something that ordinary people can talk about, so Concubine He obediently pointed the finger at Lu Yu: "This is a mere little doctor, and now he has no sense. He is the prince you personally appointed, the emperor, how dare he, how can he Dare to beat me like a purple eggplant, this imperial physician Lu will not teach the little imperial physician Lu at home, the emperor should take care of him." Said, Concubine He sobbed.

"Yes." The emperor snorted, as if he felt that something was wrong, and seeing Concubine Concubine Lihua raining, he asked Guo Kai, "Why did the two of them beat you?"

"It's all because of everything," Guo Cheng stammered.

In the past, as long as he was beaten, he had a reason, just make up any reason.

Seeing the emperor's gloomy face due to illness, or Guo Kai's gloomy face this time, Guo Kai didn't dare to answer indiscriminately.

On the contrary, Xiangyan was clever, and said sadly: "Because my grandmother was seriously ill, she needed good ginseng for a while, so she asked for it at our palace. Because the emperor was also ill, the prince wanted to offer ginseng to the palace, but I The elder sister Xiang Suining. After all, she was raised by her grandmother, and she has a deep relationship with her grandmother, so she wants to enter the palace to compete."

"Pianist Suining is very filial." The emperor coughed twice: "Then what is that kid from the Guan Lan family doing with that little imperial doctor?"

"They." Xiangyan wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, "She didn't know what method she used to make Mr. Lan and Imperial Physician He scramble to help her. The three of them worked together to grab the ginseng, but the prince was outnumbered, and they finally snatched the ginseng away. Zishen may have boiled soup for my grandmother to drink, my lord."

As Xiang Yan was talking, she felt like fainting, half of her body was pressed against the ground, and the red gold hairpin on her head was also crumbling. Concubine He was so startled that she asked the palace maid to support Xiang Yan, and urged someone to call the imperial physician. After all, Xiang Yan was pregnant with Guo Kai. This is the first child of her family, and nothing can go wrong at this time.

Xiangyan was supported, and secretly raised her eyes to see the emperor's face.

Perhaps the emperor believed what she said, and the gloom on the emperor's face became less. After all, after living such an old age, it is rare to know from other people that Guo Kai is still a filial child.

For the sake of filial piety, one should also be sympathetic.

Concubine He helped the emperor tidy the brocade quilt, and put a big pillow embroidered with lotus flowers next to the emperor's head: "Qi'er is very filial, and he doesn't want those three children to be so lawless, no matter what the status of the old lady of the Xiang family Shouldn't you snatch the emperor's ginseng at this time, isn't that a big treason? If you want me to say, they will have to pull it and kill it."

The emperor sighed, and threw the pillow stuffed by the concubine He aside: "According to what you mean, there will be no more ministers in the hall. From childhood to adulthood, how many troubles did Yinger cause? His child, he beat him a lot, why are you going to chop off his head now that he is beaten?"

Concubine He was stunned.

"Father, do you mean that they beat my servants well?" Guo Cheng's neck was swollen, and his face was red and black.

The emperor only said indifferently: "You are not here to visit the sick, you are here to anger me on purpose."

"I dare not, it's just that they robbed the ginseng. I was beaten, and my father even spoke for others, but they seem to be your own, father."

This nonsense mouth.

The emperor really wanted to forget it, seeing that it was not easy for him to slip into the palace on Xueshen Road, and now he was beaten so hard that he couldn't look directly at him, and he was a child with no city, so let him be spared.

"The princess is pregnant with a child, it is inconvenient to walk back and forth, and the weather is not good, you should go back earlier." The emperor lowered his eyes.

"But that ginseng."

"There are many in the palace, and I have no shortage."

"But."

The door of the palace "squeaked", the curtain was opened, and a gust of wind and snow hit the face, with the smell of frost in the air, it seemed that the icicles hanging on the glazed tiles outside the palace were longer.

The sky was getting darker, and half of the sky seemed to be covered by black silk.It's dark.

The charcoal fire in the hall flickered.

The eunuch with the whisk came in and said that the imperial doctor had come.

It's rare to enter the palace once, usually when Guo Kai and Xiangyan are happy, he doesn't think of entering the palace to pay his respects.

After all, Xiangyan is a bit older, and there happens to be an imperial physician, so let's see.

Unexpectedly, the imperial physician who came in was Lu Yu.

This is a bit jealous.

Guo Kai stiffened his neck, staring at Lu Yu, who was wearing an imperial doctor's robe and carrying a medicine box, kneeling beside him: "You you."

"Are you here to complain? Lu Yu whispered to Guo Kai with a look of contempt.

"You..." Guo Kai is about to roll up his sleeves. In front of the emperor at this moment, this Lu Yu is not arbitrarily handling it. How long will it be if he doesn't avenge his previous revenge? But when he looked up, he saw the emperor's cold eyes, and he didn't dare For a second time, I could only kneel back reluctantly: "There is too much charcoal fire in this room, my son rolled up his sleeves to cool off."

Another little eunuch trotted back and forth to report, saying that Mr. Xiang asked to see him.

Mr. Xiang wore a dark robe, holding a black lacquered box. After entering, he saluted the emperor upright. Because of the heavy wind and snow outside, Mr. Xiang's official hat was covered with snow particles, some of which were covered with snow. It was crystal clear, and some of the snow had already melted, turning into thin streams of water flowing down Mr. Xiang's temples, so that the collar around his neck was wet, and his face was flushed from the cold.

Perhaps it was too cold, Master Xiang knelt down and shivered a few times.

"I heard that the emperor is ill, so I entered the palace on purpose." Mr. Xiang didn't have time to wipe the snow from his face, and saluted respectfully.

"Old man." Guo Cheng wanted to roll up his sleeves again, but he couldn't catch his daughter, and a beating by Mr. Xiang could relieve his hatred.

But looking up at the emperor's face, Guo Kai had no choice but to kneel back: "It's a bit hot in this palace." Guo Kai glanced at the box Xiang Daying was holding, and vaguely smelled the aroma of ginseng, which must have come from The ginseng that was taken out of the palace was lost, and the ginseng was paid for in vain. I didn't take advantage of the cheap, and I was angry when I thought about it.

Unexpectedly, Xiang Daying dared to enter the palace with his hands in his hands.

A long time ago, a eunuch held Xiang Daying's box and opened it for the emperor to see.

The emperor only glanced at it, and he understood the general idea in his heart.

Xiang Daying knelt and kowtowed: "My mother is in poor health. The minister's daughter went to the palace to ask for ginseng. Hearing that the emperor is not in good health, the minister's mother dared not use this precious ginseng. She entrusted the minister to hold it here and borrow flowers to offer Buddha."

"You guys have a heart. I have everything in this palace, so you don't have to be polite. This ginseng is for the old lady, that's all." The emperor waved his hand, signaling the eunuch to leave the ginseng to Prime Minister Daying.

Xiang Daying naturally thanked him.

"How is your mother?"

"Thank you for the emperor's concern. My mother is getting old. Recently, she always feels as if she can't overcome it. Sometimes it's mild and sometimes severe. But I haven't found any symptoms. It's just that my mother is very disturbed when she hears that the emperor is ill."

I still remember that Xiang Daying's mother had a lot to say to the old queen in the palace.

The old queen was lonely and bored. Apart from picking flowers and plants, she was willing to talk to Xiang Daying's mother. Besides, she didn't talk much to his son.

Xiang Daying brought ginseng, and the emperor was inconvenient to say anything, so he pointed to Xiangyan and said, "My concubine is pregnant with a child now. After entering the palace, I called the imperial doctor to give her a consultation. You are also there, so let's go together." Listen to what the doctor said."

Lu Yu took out the mat and handkerchief, and wanted to check Xiangyan's pulse, but Xiangyan was very reluctant.

She smoothed the jade bracelet on her wrist, straightened the corner of her skirt, and shrank into the corner of the screen.

When Lu Yu took a step forward, she retracted again.

Seeing that Xiangyan was about to shrink to the screen.

There is a pair of mandarin ducks playing in the water on the screen, the lake water embroidered with light blue silk thread, and the light green mountains, rocks, flowers and plants. There are two colorful mandarin ducks swimming freely, lingering in love.

Xiang Yan shrank in front of the screen, her face was red and white.He just pressed his cuff and refused to give Lu Yu his pulse.

There was a stalemate for a while.

Guo Cheng also stood in front, saying that he had just had his pulse checked in the palace.

"There is no imperial doctor out there who can see it accurately." Concubine He only said that Xiang Yan was coquettish: "The imperial doctor will not do anything after looking at it, why is the princess so cowardly." Then she went to rub Xiangyan's sleeve.

Xiang Yan didn't dare to struggle too much with her pregnant body, her sleeves were lifted up, Concubine He was also taken aback: "This group of people are really lawless, even the concubine who is pregnant..."

Concubine He wanted to say, "This group of people is so cruel that even the princess will be beaten." Based on this crime, Lan Tuan must be severely punished by Lu Yu, but she swallowed it in the middle of the sentence.

No matter how bad Lan Tui and Lu Yu were, they would not hit a woman.

Not to mention beating a woman who is pregnant with a child.

And Guo Cheng mentioned in front of her more than once to teach the princess to behave.

She is very clear about her son's virtues.

Seeing the bruises on Xiangyan's arms now, Concubine He gasped a little, with a little surprise and a little fear on her face.This injury must have been caused by Guo Kai.

"Why did concubine He say this?" the emperor asked.

"The concubine is saying. The concubine is saying." Concubine He stammered: "The concubine is saying. This concubine's maid is careless. In such a cold day, the clothes for the concubine are too thin. What should I do if it gets cold?"

"So that's how it is." The emperor said: "Then get your pulse quickly and go back earlier."

"There's no need to feel the pulse." Concubine He and Xiang Yan said in unison.Concubine He was still protecting Xiangyan, it seemed that Lu Yu was not going to check Xiangyan's pulse, but to murder Xiangyan.

The emperor coughed twice again: "Little doctor Lu, take a closer look, is the princess all right?"

Lu Yu only glanced at it, then bowed his head and said, "I can't see the concubine's illness."

The disease that the imperial doctor can't see well is a terminal illness.

The emperor was surprised.

How could such a young concubine suffer from an unsightly disease?

Could it be that his son will be widowed soon after he gets married?

Xiang Daying was also surprised: "I have never heard that my daughter has any illness, but is it a sudden illness? I hope the imperial physician will express it."
