There is a black lotus in the deep palace

Chapter 343

In the late autumn season, the outskirts of the capital are already in bleakness. The golden sycamore leaves are withered and withered one by one.

There are two people in the mountains, riding a bay red horse, chasing and playing in the mountains and forests. From a distance, they look like a pair of boys and girls in the cardamom season.

Tired from running, the two of them lay down on the thick fallen leaves under the plane tree. When the wind blew, another leaf fell and just covered their eyes. When the sun shines, they stand still.

Tang Waning smelled the most familiar smell of soil in the mountains, felt the soreness from the muscles all over her body, and the slight coolness of the breeze blowing on her sweaty cheeks, and she couldn't help but feel satisfied.

The desire that had been suppressed in her heart for a long time was released again, and she felt that she had finally found herself.

"Cough cough..."

Just when he was satisfied, there was a coughing sound in his ear.

Tang Wanning couldn't help turning her head away: "What's wrong with you?"

Xia Houjue couldn't help but picked up the leaves covering his face and smiled at her: "What are you thinking?"

Tang Waning couldn't help but cast a contemptuous glance at him: "Go ahead, you don't mind so much, you don't feel tired after running so far."

"Wanwan? Can I take you out often in the future?" It doesn't matter if you hunt or not, it's true to go out to relax. After working so hard for so many years, he should make up for her.

"Are you still not satisfied after coming out for a day? You are too greedy, often you are still a child..."

"He's not a child anymore, he can do it, Wan Wan, let's not worry about it so much, nothing serious will happen," Xia Houjue begged a little in his eyes.

Tang Wanning couldn't help wondering: what happened to this man?Why do you suddenly seem like a different person?
It doesn't matter whether you go out of the palace to hunt or not, hasn't it been so many years?What is the difference in the past few years, what must be done to hand over the government of a country to a child.

Often he is only 12 years old after all, no matter how capable and knowledgeable he is, he is just a child.

Still begging, what does he have to beg for? !Thinking of the relief on the faces of their father and son before, the suspicion in her heart was even greater.

"Okay," thinking so in his heart, he still agreed, not for anything else, just wanting to know what the hell their father and son are doing, or is there something they are hiding from him?

Tang Wanning looked at Xia Houjue, only to think why his face was so white suddenly, so white that she was almost unfamiliar to her.

"What's wrong with your face? Are you tired? How about this time, let's go back first?"

Xia Houjue froze for a moment before nodding, and the two returned to the city with a few gray rabbits they had hunted in the mountains.

……

In a blink of an eye, late autumn has passed, and it is midwinter again. After two consecutive autumn rains, the Jinhua Hall has been lit with earth dragons and surrounded by a furnace.

There is an ice cellar in the palace, which freezes the freshly produced fish, shrimp and crab meat around the Mid-Autumn Festival, waiting to be eaten out of season.

But at this time, after the season is over, it is perfect to use a pot of broth, cook some fish and shrimp slices, and then match it with some fresh vegetables from the greenhouse in the palace.

"Green Ant's new fermented wine, a small red clay stove. It's snowing in the evening, so I can drink a glass of nothing." This ancient poem came out of my mind for some reason.

"Good poetry, I didn't expect Wanwan to write poetry." Xia Houjue smiled as he came in from the door.

Seeing that it was him, Tang Wanning stood up with a smile: "Why did you come back so late today? I have been waiting for you for half an hour. Come and try the newly made hot pot."

Xia Houjue was about to say yes, but suddenly coughed violently. He coughed until his face was purple and swollen, and he was out of breath. Tang Wanning couldn't help but froze.

"What's wrong with you?"

"No...cough cough...maybe...the peppers here are a bit spicy, cough cough!"

Tang Waning looked at the pot that was glowing red, and felt even more puzzled: "There are tomatoes boiled in it, not peppers, did you misread it?!"

Her stomach was cold, and Xia Houjue's body couldn't take it anymore. They hadn't eaten spicy food for a long time.

He suddenly said spicy, isn't that nonsense.

"Hey, what's the matter with you?" Thinking of going hunting two months ago, he also coughed a few times, Tang Wanning suddenly felt uneasy.

"Come here, Imperial Physician Xuan!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Xia Houjue immediately gave Li Dequan a look.

Li Dequan got the order, turned around and went out cautiously.

The imperial physician came quickly, and after diagnosis, Xia Houjue was overworked due to fatigue, and he contracted a cold, which made his cough worse. As long as he kept warm, took a few medicines and recuperated, he would recover soon.

Tang Wanning didn't believe it at first, but the imperial physician made her promise, so she asked the imperial physician to prescribe a prescription and left with half-belief.

"It's just a cold, why are you covering it up like this?"

Xia Houjue looked helpless: "How can I hide it? If you say you are called an imperial physician, you will be called an imperial physician, and you will do whatever you want? Why are you hiding it?"

Thinking about it, Xia Houjue didn't seem to have said anything, so Tang Wanning had no choice but to suppress the doubts in her heart and let someone decoct it.

……

Hot pot was too much to eat, fearing that Xiahou Jue's illness would be aggravated by the fire, Tang Wanning asked someone to serve boiled bird's nest milk and yam pork rib soup. They were stewed so soft that they were just right for people who had just taken medicine.

After taking the medicinal diet, the two of them stopped talking after a while. For some reason, she always felt that Xia Houjue was very lethargic, presumably because of the sleepiness after taking the medicine.

She didn't think much about it, so she was served to wash up and rested.

What Tang Wanning didn't know was that after she fell asleep, Xia Houjue got up and put on her clothes and rushed out. She coughed in the snow all by herself, and all of her body burned.

In the end, blood was even sprinkled all over the floor, scaring Li Dequan and a few young eunuchs to kneel on the ground and cry secretly.

"Your majesty, you'd better ask the imperial physician to come and see it again, it won't be a problem at all!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about the empress and the princes. Otherwise, you still have your favorite little princess, you..."

"Shut up!" Xia Houjue raised his hand and wiped the blood from the corner of his lips fiercely, his cold and arrogant expression was full of unwillingness and refusal to admit defeat.

"I have practiced martial arts all my life, so how could I be afraid of such a trivial illness? Don't talk nonsense, I'm fine!" Xia Houjue said indifferently, and cast his gaze towards the dark darkness in the distance.

Wanwan, is my life really so short?

In my whole life, will I still be sorry to you?No, it's impossible, we still have Jingming.

Jingming hasn't married yet, and my father hasn't picked a husband's family for her, so how could something happen to me?
"Your Majesty!" Li Dequan kowtowed fiercely in front of Xia Houjue bravely.
