The reborn prince can't be pushed down

Chapter 267 Sleeping
His Royal Highness is usually gentle and elegant, but once he changes his face, no one is not afraid of his solemn appearance.

"Yes!" Lan Sha and Zhu Yun responded nervously.

I don't want someone from the palace to come here quickly at this time, "His Royal Highness, the editor-in-chief of the Imperial Academy, Mr. Zheng, is asking to see you!"

Lan Sha said: "Your Highness, this Lord Zheng is the female imperial official who came to deliver books yesterday."

Jiang Nian raised his eyebrows slightly, "It's just in time, let her wait in the front hall."

After taking the book from Zhu Yun, Jiang Nian strode towards the front hall.

"Lansha, do you think we're going to follow?" Zhu Yun asked a little uncertainly.

Lan Sha thought for a while, "You wait here, in case His Majesty wakes up, someone can dispatch him, I'll go ahead and have a look."

When Lan Sha hurried to the front hall, Jiang Nian was sitting in the main seat with a calm body, and a female Hanlin was kneeling below her. It was Zheng Xiangru who came to deliver the book yesterday.

"You bastard, this kind of low-level book is also rushed to Yuqian!"

Jiang Nian had never reprimanded anyone so unceremoniously, and he threw the scripture book in front of Zheng Xiangru.

The strong wind brought by the book fell to Zheng Xiangru's face, as if she had been slapped on both cheeks, her head lowered even lower, "Your Highness, I read that book by myself, but I didn't want to but caught it by mistake. In the book for His Majesty, the sacred eyes were polluted! This minister was negligent for a while, please forgive me, Your Highness!"

After she finished speaking, she kowtowed continuously, her forehead hit the black floor tiles, the sound was particularly ear-piercing in the empty hall.

There was indifference on Jiang Nian's handsome and elegant face, and he said coldly: "How can you be so confused about the matter before the emperor! This time it is a script, and next time it may contain other things. It is not enough to warn you if you are not severely punished! Come on." , dragged down to fifty sticks, removed from office, and forever barred from being an official!"

Zheng Xiangru raised her head in astonishment, and there were tears in the corners of her eyes, "Your Highness, forgive me, I know I was wrong. In fact, this book was not written by negligence, but because I knew that Your Majesty likes to listen to stories, I wanted to give it to His Majesty. The opportunity to write a book...to win favor in front of His Majesty...I have been only a seventh-rank editor for five consecutive years, and those who entered the Imperial Academy later than me have already been promoted, and only I have returned to the original place..."

After she spoke, her voice was already as low as a mosquito gnat, but the hall was too quiet, and even the slightest voice could be heard clearly.

Jiang Nian covered his face with frost, and smiled angrily, "Who told you that His Majesty likes to listen to stories!"

Zheng Xiangru tremblingly said: "Yes... it's Master Xu... I met Master Xu yesterday when I was picking up books in the Library Pavilion. I am very interested in the stories about talented men and beautiful women. I happened to read "Rebirth" these few days, so I thought of taking a risk, but I didn't expect..."

Unexpectedly, she had been working hard for so many years, and it was only this time that she had a wrong thought and fell down.The reason why she came here to plead guilty at this time was actually an idea of ​​retreating and advancing. She estimated that the empress should have finished reading the book by now and was going to come to receive the reward. Who knew that what she would get was such a devastating consequence.

Is it Xu Miaoyun again?Jiang Nian tightened his hands in the sleeve robe, and his joints creaked.

The voice came to Zheng Xiangru's ears, and she couldn't help trembling slightly, and kowtowed continuously, "Your Highness, I just missed it, please see that I have worked hard in the Imperial Academy for so many years, Rao Chen Let's die!"

"Come on!" Jiang Nian's voice was like frost.

As soon as he gave an order, Kong Wu's powerful palace servants quickly came up to set up Zheng Xiangru.

"Drag it!"

"Your Highness, please forgive me..."

Zheng Xiangru's voice of calling for help gradually faded away, and after a while, the sound of the board hitting the flesh and the woman's shrill screams could be heard outside the hall.

Jiang Nian sat stiffly on the throne, listening to the voices from outside, but felt that the unhappiness in his chest didn't subside, and even became more depressed.He knew that this Zheng Xiangru was Xu Miaoyun's pawn again, and he suspended Xu Miaoyun's official position in the Imperial Academy in disguise, not wanting her to use her status as an editor of the Imperial Academy to enter the Library Pavilion, deliberately approaching Zheng Xiangru who was in charge of picking up books, and bewitched her to do it. Such a thing.

The first time he saw Xu Miaoyun in Mantingfang, Qingchi pointed out Xu Miaoyun's admiration for him, but he always only had Ning Yuezhao in his eyes, and other women were not in his eyes at all.

Who would have thought that Xu Miaoyun's obsession with him would be so deep, that she would discover his biggest secret, and would also want to reveal this matter to Ning Yuezhao, causing a rift between their husband and wife.

If Xu Miaoyun told others about this, Jiang Nian would not be worried at all. After all, such absurd things as rebirth appear in the storybook, and no one will believe it if it is really spread everywhere, but Ning Yuezhao is different, she would be intermittent He was afraid that this book would arouse Ning Yuezhao's hidden memories. What would she think of him then?

Thinking of this, Jiang Nian felt like he had fallen into an ice cellar and his whole body was freezing cold.

I don't know how long it took before someone from the palace came to report, "Your Highness, can you let the imperial dining room serve the meals?"

Only then did Jiang Nian realize that it was already dusk, and he said hoarsely, "Where is Your Majesty?"

"Your Majesty is still asleep. Miss Lansha asked your servant to ask you, do you want to wake Your Majesty up?"

Jiang Nian waved his hand, "No need, go alone."

The smoke from the Boshan stove in the dormitory is curling up, and the fragrance of Shen Anshen is lingering in every corner of the room.

Jiang Nian stepped into the hall, closed the door with his backhand, and separated a group of people outside the hall.

At this time, the hall has not yet been lit, and the afterglow of the setting sun shines in through the window lattice, and one can vaguely see a beautiful figure lying behind the curtain.

Jiang Nian felt as if her chest was being grabbed by something, and she was still asleep.He wanted to wake her up, but was afraid of waking her up.

His feet seemed to be filled with lead, and every step he took in the brocade shoes felt heavier than a thousand catties.

From the door to the bed, it was a short distance, as if it took a lifetime of effort to get there.

Jiang Nian reached out and grabbed the brocade tent, and opened it only after he settled his mind. What came into view was Ning Yuezhao's beautiful sleeping face.

He sat down gently on the edge of the bed, for fear of waking up the beautiful woman on the couch.

Her brows were slightly furrowed, and there seemed to be sadness in her dream. Jiang Nian stretched out his hand unconsciously, and his fingertips stopped just when they were about to touch the center of her brows.

Could the sorrow in her dream be him?
Jiang Nian swallowed coptis, feeling bitter in his heart.

"Azhao..."

There was a low call, full of affection, but the person on the couch did not respond.

"Azhao..."

Jiang Nian stretched out his hand to caress her face, the skin on his fingertips was delicate and smooth, but he didn't know if he could get so close to her after opening his eyes...

Holding her hand and sticking it to his cheek, Jiang Nian said in a low voice, "Azhao, don't hate me..."

The person on the bed still didn't respond at all, Jiang Nian sensed something was wrong, he held her catkin tightly, and turned up the volume, "Ah Zhao?"

Siesta usually don't sleep so deeply, and Ning Yuezhao is a martial arts practitioner, not to mention it's getting dark now, she made such a big commotion, it's absolutely impossible for her to be so unresponsive!
Jiang Nian shook her again and kept calling her, but there was still no response.If it weren't for the ups and downs of her chest, and her steady breathing, Jiang Nian would have almost thought that the person in front of him had returned to the state of being poisoned by the poison.

"Come on, tell the imperial doctor!"

The palace people filed in, and all the lamps in the bedroom were quickly lit up.

Fu Liao arrived at Qifeng Palace in the fastest time to feel the pulse of Ning Yuezhao.

"How?" Jiang Nian asked anxiously.

Fu Liao didn't answer him, but asked, "How long has Your Majesty been asleep?"

"It's almost three hours." Lan Sha replied.

Fu Liao checked Ning Yuezhao's eyes and tongue coating again, and said to Jiang Nian, "Your Majesty's body is normal, he just fell asleep."

"Then when will she wake up?"

Fu Liao shook his head, "Her pulse condition is normal, and there is no abnormal sign at all. Rong Weichen should give the acupuncture for His Majesty first."

After speaking, he took out the silver needle and injected it several times in a row, but Ning Yuezhao still didn't respond at all.

Fu Liao frowned and pricked a few more needles.

Others don't understand that Jiang Nian has practiced martial arts and knows that Fu Liao's acupuncture points are the most painful, but Ning Yuezhao didn't respond at all.

Fu Liao took away the needles and switched to moxibustion, but it still didn't work, and he broke out in a sweat.

"Strange, how could this happen!"

Jiang Nian's face sank like water, "Send some more imperial doctors!"

All the elite imperial physicians of the Imperial Hospital were summoned to Qifeng Palace that night. Fu Liao was already the best in Chinese medicine among them, but he couldn't diagnose the reason, let alone other people.

After such a toss, it was already the second watch.

"Stand back, don't reveal a word about tonight's affairs."

In the end, Jiang Nian dismissed everyone. These imperial doctors who have been walking in front of the imperial court all year round are experienced and tactful people. Knowing that the monarch suddenly fell asleep, it was a big deal. They didn't dare to disclose it to the outside world without Jiang Nian's order, lest they would be killed for themselves. disaster.

Jiang Nian sat down by the couch, took Ning Yuezhao's hand, and stroked it gently.

"Azhao, don't you want to talk to me anymore?"

No one responded to his question. Jiang Nian took off his shoes and got on the couch. He hugged Ning Yuezhao in his arms, resting his chin on her chest, and murmured, "I know you're just tired. Go to sleep." , I will accompany you."

Ning Yuezhao seemed to want to make up for all the sleep she had when she was worrying about state affairs, and she didn't wake up until the morning of the next day.

Jiang Nian was so preoccupied that he simply announced to the public that his old illness had relapsed, and that Ning Yuezhao stopped working for a day because he was concerned about his body.

The palace servant brought soup to the bed, and Jiang Nian fed Ning Yuezhao as usual, but he himself didn't have any appetite, and only managed to eat a few mouthfuls under the pressure of Jing Ming.

Time passed bit by bit, and the day passed like this, and the Qianqiu Festival came, and Ning Yuezhao still had no intention of waking up.

Jing Ming took the crown and went to the bed, "Your Highness, the time is coming soon, civil and military officials have arrived at Xingqing Palace one after another, if you and His Majesty don't show up, I'm afraid His Majesty's illness can't be concealed." ..."

For the past two days, Jiang Nian lay in front of the couch in undressed clothes, his chin covered with blue stubble, and he was indescribably haggard.

Taking a deep look at Ning Yuezhao who was still sleeping, he finally stood up from the bed and turned to Jing Ming, "Change clothes for Gu!"
