When the three monarchs and ministers came back again, the three collapsed, but their spirits were extremely good. As soon as the old general Dai came in, he stared at the bamboo box on the table. Weng Lao stroked his beard and stared at it too. Emperor Yongming sat down and rubbed his numb legs: "Old general, emperor master, you say, this time I should How to reward Shao Yun'an? It is not an exaggeration for me to make him a Duke!"
After experiencing it for themselves, none of the three would doubt that the Queen's strange behavior today has something to do with the honey grapefruit tea. The old general Dai was the most straightforward: "It must be rewarded! A great reward!" Then, he lowered his voice and said, "I don't know how much this kind of grapefruit tea he can make. The soldiers at the border are in great need!"
Mr. Weng stroked his beard and said, "Rewards must be given, but absolutely not now. The secret of grapefruit tea must be strictly guarded. The emperor should order Dai Jiang to return to Yongxiu County as soon as possible."
Emperor Yongming nodded: "I also have this intention."
The old general asked: "What is the origin of this Shao Yun'an?"
Old Man Weng: "A strange man. A strange man who descended from heaven to my Dayan."
The old general: "..."
Coughing lightly, the old general turned to ask: "When does the emperor want to call that Shao Yun'an to the capital? The old minister really wants to see that child. Among other things, the 3,500 taels of gold he and his husband donated, the old minister I have to thank them both for the soldiers at the border." Another point that the old general didn't say is that Shao Yun'an's name and the name of his missing grandson both have the word "An". All of a sudden, the old general patted his leg, "The old minister is really confused. Today, the old minister is in a hurry to enter the palace, and this leg doesn't hurt! No, no, it hasn't hurt for a long time! The old minister eats four spoonfuls of the emperor's milk every day." The Guyuan ointment rewarded by the queen. Shao Yunan gave the emperor and the queen other food, and the veteran also received a lot of rewards."
"Hiss—" Boss Weng was shocked, "Could it be that the food Shao Yunan cooks has the effect of curing diseases?! Thinking about it this way, the old minister has eaten more than usual recently, and he can wake up at night just by lying down at night. Recently, it seems that the eyes It didn't cost much."
Dai Old General: "If you don't tell me, I don't care, my eyes don't seem to be too tired!"
Suddenly, the house was quiet. The three monarchs and ministers looked at me and I looked at him, beads of sweat dripped out of their backs. After a while, Old Weng said seriously: "This matter must not be disclosed!"
On behalf of the old general: "This person must be allowed to come to the capital, in case someone finds out..."
Emperor Yongming thought deeply: "When the spring tea is finished this time, I will call his family to Beijing. This time, even if I don't make him a Duke, I will make him a Marquis."
Weng Laodao: "It doesn't matter what he seals. The most important thing is that he can no longer be allowed to stay in Xiushui Village. The food he cooks doesn't attract many people, but there are also many."
Emperor Yongming and the old general Dai both nodded.
When mentioning the title, the old general asked casually: "What happened to the Marquis of Hengyuan? The old minister heard that the eldest son of the Marquis of Hengyuan was executed by the emperor Ling Chi."
It's fine if the old general didn't ask, but his question immediately aroused Emperor Yongming's anger. Weng Lao explained: "Wei Hongzheng went to Yongxiu County to kidnap Shao Yunan and force him to hand over the recipes for new tea and new wine. If he didn't hand in the prescriptions, he would have his subordinates insult him and injure him. Not only that, Wei Hongzheng He also speaks out loud and speaks disrespectfully to His Majesty and Chitose. He should be punished."
Emperor Yongming: "He cursed Qi You to die early, saying that my position is nothing more than an empty position. They Hengyuan Marquis Mansion robbed me of my gold mountain, and I have nothing to do with them, saying that Qi You seduced me by virtue of her beauty."
Weng Lao: "The meaning is roughly the same, but what you say is very insulting."
The old general Dai understood: "Does this kid think his head is too heavy? He can say such nonsense. He doesn't know that Shao Yun'an is working for the emperor and Qiantui?"
"How could they not know! They didn't take me seriously at all! That old man Wei Chunlin was able to raise such a son, so one can imagine how he thought of me and the queen in private. This time I will never let you down !"
On behalf of the old general: "This matter cannot be lightly forgiven, otherwise what will your majesty's face be? Now that someone is earning gold and silver for your majesty, why should you care about a Hengyuan Hou, just copy it." The old general is an absolute hawk.
Emperor Yongming frowned: "Wei Chunlin must be dealt with, but I haven't made up my mind about his two eldest sons."
General Dai and Weng Lao nodded in understanding, Weng Lao said: "Both Wei Hongru and Wei Hongwen have expressed their loyalty to the Emperor and Chitose, and Wei Hongwen has already started to do things for the Emperor and Chitose, so we have to think carefully."
The old general Dai said bluntly: "What's so difficult about this? With Wei Hongru and Wei Hongwen's abilities, it's enough to earn another title. Without the horrible place of Hengyuan Hou's Mansion, the two brothers can also unload their burdens and pack lightly." Go into battle. Otherwise, even if Wei Hongru, the eldest son of the direct line, inherits the title, his brothers are enough for him to deal with. Wei Chunlin has no way to teach his son, and took this opportunity to seize his title. This is also a warning to other aristocratic families, lest They don't know their status as subjects."
Weng Laodao: "The old general's words are very reasonable. Without the dragging down of those brothers, Wei Hongru and Wei Hongwen might be able to go further. The emperor's visit can be regarded as clearing the obstacles for his brothers."
Emperor Yongming nodded: "Well, what the old general said is that the empress still appreciates the two brothers Wei Hongru and Wei Hongwen. Without the Hengyuan Marquis Mansion, I can use his two brothers with more confidence."
The two old men said, "The emperor is wise."
It seemed that it had been a long, long time since she had slept so comfortably and so securely. When she opened her eyes, the queen couldn't tell whether she was in a dream or returned to reality.
"Qi You!"
The queen turned her head in a daze following the sound, and saw Emperor Yongming leaning in front of him with an excited expression on his face. He opened his mouth, wanting to shout "Emperor", but couldn't make a sound.
"Zhuo Jin, pour water!"
Zhuo Jin came in from the outside, and seeing the Queen woke up, he was overjoyed at first, and then immediately brewed a cup of honey grapefruit tea. Emperor Yongming helped the empress who was exhausted all over, and Zhuojin carefully served and fed her.
The queen was thirsty, and she drank the grapefruit tea in a few sips, and said tiredly and unconsciously, "I still want to drink."
Zhuojin blinked his hot eyes vigorously, and immediately brewed another cup. After drinking four cups in a row, the queen gradually came back to her senses, and opened her mouth to shout: "Your Majesty."
Emperor Yongming touched his face, touched his forehead, and asked nervously: "Do you still have abdominal pain?"
The queen felt it for a while, and shook her head: "I don't feel any pain anymore, I'm just a little hungry."
Zhuo Jin immediately said: "Your servant will send someone to bring food!"
Zhuo Jin hurried out, and Emperor Yongming asked again worriedly: "If you feel the pain again, it really doesn't hurt anymore?"
The queen felt it carefully, pressed her stomach, and shook her head: "It really doesn't hurt anymore." At this time, he remembered the pain that he couldn't bear at all, and said: "I think that I will not insist this time. Going down, did the imperial physician find a way to treat the minister's abdominal pain?"
The pain in his back was so painful that he lost consciousness, and he didn't remember the chaos at all.
Emperor Yongming sat on the bed, let the queen lean on him, stroked the top of the queen's hair lightly with his chin, and said: "You eat first. This is the General's Mansion, you should first cultivate here."
The queen's head is still a little dizzy, and most of them are hungry. It's not that he didn't wonder why he was at home, but the emperor asked him to eat first, so he didn't ask.
Zhuo Jin brought the meal, along with the maidservant sent by the General's Mansion to take care of the Queen. A dozen or so people walked silently and set up all kinds of food, then quietly bowed and retreated, leaving only Zhuojin in the room to take care of them. The queen felt it for a while, and was about to get out of bed as soon as she lifted the quilt, Emperor Yongming hurriedly stopped him: "Don't get down, you are still weak."
The queen said: "I feel much better, and my body is much more relaxed. It's not convenient to eat in bed, so I'd better get up."
Zhuo Jin came over with a robe and said: "Your Majesty, the General's Mansion has prepared a lot of meals for the Queen. The doctor said that Chitose can get up and eat, as long as he keeps warm."
Hearing Zhuo Jin's words, Emperor Yongming looked at the dishes on the table again, and stopped insisting, saying: "Then you put on your clothes first."
The queen was dressed, and at the request of Emperor Yongming, she also put on a thick cloth sock, and then she was allowed to get out of bed. There was still a charcoal stove burning in the room, the empress said: "I don't feel cold, this charcoal stove should be removed." Emperor Yongming was sweating on his forehead.
"Be warm. Come, I happen to be hungry too, I will eat with you." Emperor Yongming sat down after helping the emperor.
The queen sat down, and Zhuo Jin brought a basin for washing hands.
Picking up the chopsticks and looking at the dishes on the table, the queen smiled slightly and said, "I haven't felt so hungry for a long time."
"Then eat quickly." Emperor Yongming put a bowl of chicken soup in front of the queen, "Drink this bowl of chicken soup first."
"yes."
The queen happily picked up the spoon and drank the soup.
The queen not only hasn't felt so hungry for a long time, but also hasn't eaten so much in one meal for a long time. When he ate the food bite by bite, he didn't notice that Emperor Yongming's hand holding the chopsticks by his side didn't come down for a long time, even trembling slightly.
At this moment, seeing his beloved eating and drinking soup with such great appetite, only Emperor Yongming knew how much he was grateful to Shao Yun'an, and how lucky he was that he chose to stand by them.
When the queen was seventy percent full after eating, he realized that the people around him hadn't put their chopsticks down. Turning his head, he saw Emperor Yongming looking at him all the time, and the queen put down her chopsticks.
"emperor."
Emperor Yongming smiled at him, put a piece of meat in his bowl, and said happily: "I don't even remember the last time you had such an appetite, Qi You."
The sound of "Qi You" moved the Queen deeply. He said: "Your Majesty, from now on, can I always accompany you to eat with the Emperor?"
Emperor Yongming nodded without any hesitation: "Of course. My queen can eat with me like this every day from now on."
The queen suppressed the question and smiled: "The minister is not full yet."
"Fast food."
Emperor Yongming immediately gave him another dish with chopsticks.
When the queen was full, Emperor Yongming called Zhuo Jin to withdraw the meal, and he himself only took a few symbolic mouthfuls. The excitement in his heart far outweighed the hunger in his stomach.
The queen wiped her hands and face, rinsed her mouth, and Emperor Yongming let him go back to bed. Sitting by the bed, holding the Queen's hand, in the bedroom where only the two of them are present, there are always some things to explain.
After being silent for a while, Emperor Yongming said, "Qi You, your body is completely healed, all the remaining poison has been eliminated, and you won't have abdominal pain anymore. You must really want to know what's going on."
The queen nodded.
Emperor Yongming held the Queen's hand tightly: "Actually, I don't know what's going on. It's just that I, the old emperor, and the old general discovered... that Shao Yun'an's food seems to be curable."
"Cure?!" The queen was surprised.
Emperor Yongming nodded and said: "The honey citron tea he specially made for you this time is different from the citron tea he made for me and Weng Lao. After drinking the citron tea he gave me, I only found it sour and sweet. He I made it for you, not only the taste is quite different, but after I drank it with Mr. Weng and Mr. Dai, my belly was like a river, and I felt extremely relaxed, refreshed and full of energy afterward.”
Following Emperor Yongming's explanation, the astonishment on the Queen's face became more and more intense. Emperor Yongming continued: "You have a stomachache today. The old general rushed into the palace, but his legs didn't hurt, and he hadn't had pain for a long time. He even ate well and slept well in recent days. The same is true for the old emperor, he said. Now he can wake up until dawn when he lies down at night. And this is only after they took Guyuan ointment and all kinds of food offered by Shao Yunan. And you have such abdominal pain today because you drank a whole bottle After honey citron tea."
The Empress looked at Emperor Yongming in a daze, not knowing how to respond. Emperor Yongming pulled out his other hand and clenched it tightly: "You have been suffering from abdominal pain, but it's not the residual poison, but..." Emperor Yongming took a deep breath, "It's that you were actually pregnant that time. Two children."
"Oh!" The queen was shocked.
Emperor Yongming sat on the bed and hugged him: "That time, we had two children. There was one child who refused to leave his father and father and stayed there forcibly, that's why you have such abdominal pain. Now, that child also Knowing that he shouldn't torture his father like this, he is finally willing to leave, so, so, you won't have abdominal pain anymore."
The Empress originally had a somewhat ruddy face, but he was always strong, and even today he was so painful that he wished he could die without shedding a single tear, his eyes were red.
"Qi You..." Emperor Yongming was also in great pain, "In the future, we will have children. The imperial doctor said, as long as you take good care of yourself this time, we will have children sooner or later. The lost child will return to his father and father again around."
The Empress closed her eyes and clasped her hands tightly. Emperor Yongming kissed his forehead and tightened his arms again and again: "I will never let go of those who made us lose our children. I promise you that I will avenge our children."
The queen didn't speak, and Emperor Yongming just hugged him and comforted him. Both hearts are extremely painful. Because of love, I want a crystallization of love. Originally they had two, but they lost it forever without even looking at it. It is difficult for a man to conceive, let alone two children.
The queen suppressed her own sadness. He was a man, a man who had fought bloody battles, how could he cry bitterly. After a long time, the queen opened her eyes, her eyes were red, but there were no tears.
"emperor."
"I am here."
Emperor Yongming's lips pressed against the queen's forehead. The Queen's voice was extremely hoarse.
"Our children are very sensible. They know that if they come to this world together, their father will be embarrassed."
Emperor Yongming's Adam's apple fluctuated violently.
"The emperor's family, the twin sons, is a disaster, but not a blessing. They don't want their father to be in trouble, so they left."
Emperor Yongming took a deep breath, and his voice was also extremely hoarse: "Yes. They didn't want their father to be embarrassed, so they left. But I believe that our children will come back, one by one."
The queen nodded, but her voice was choked up: "Yes. They will come back, one by one, all will come back."
