The time of Hai has passed, and there is only a dim glazed palace lantern left in the bedroom, reflecting Liang Zhen's deep and bright eyes, he concentrates on the movements of his hands, like treating the most precious treasure, piercing out bit by bit. The texture he wanted.
Gao An knelt beside the bed and sobbed softly. On the bed, Zhu Yunxuan bit his lips tightly and lay motionless, as if he had lost his breath. His long hair covered his eyes and half of his face, and all his emotions were covered by it. Hidden, only the hands clenched into fists were still trembling slightly.
The blood-like red plum quietly bloomed on Zhu Yunxuan's fair waist, it was gorgeous and coquettish.
Liang Zhen was fascinated by his own work, a satisfied smile curled up on the corner of his lips: "It's so beautiful..."
Zhu Yunxuan had a high fever for three full days, and was too dizzy to get up. The court affairs naturally stopped again. Zeng Huai and Yan Shixue came to see, but they were also blocked outside the Ganlin Palace. Liang Zhen stayed here all the time. He guarded him in disbelief.
After Zhu Yunxuan's condition improved for more than ten days, his body was fine, but his body became colder. This kind of change was most obvious to all the palace people in Ganlin Palace. Everyone was trembling and walking on thin ice, afraid that one person would be careless. Touched by the holy wrath, he became the soul of that knife.
On the first day after Zhu Yunxuan got up, he dealt with the other eunuch who went to fetch the things that day, and asked someone to drag him down in front of Liang Zhen. Liang Zhen didn't say anything, and gently blew the freshly served hot porridge to cool, and fed it to his mouth, Zhu Yunxuan's eyes didn't have any waves, and he opened his lips cooperatively.
Liang Zhen finally left the palace to handle official business, and Zeng Huai and others were able to come to see Zhu Yunxuan. Zhu Yunxuan, who had just recovered from a serious illness, lost a lot of weight, and his complexion became paler. Zeng Huai was worried: "Your Majesty, you are alright, then King Zhao..."
Zhu Yunxuan interrupted him calmly: "I'm fine."
He has not shown his face in front of the officials for more than ten days, Zeng Huai and others must be worried that he will be under house arrest by Liang Zhen, and it is useless to talk about it now.
Yan Shixue came to report to him about the foreigners who came to Beijing. Those people came from a maritime power in the Western Continent, occupying many small countries in the South Seas. The next time they came to Beijing, they wanted to discuss with Dayan about the trade between the two countries.
Zeng Huai said: "Your Majesty has been ill for more than ten days and has not dealt with the affairs of the court. We have discussed with the Ministry of Household Affairs first. The demands they raised, such as lowering tariffs, simplifying regulations, and increasing the types of commodity trade and the volume of imports and exports are unreasonable. In other words, these foreigners occupy many islands in the South Seas and have been eyeing me for a long time. I have only been banned from opening the sea for a few years, so I must not take it lightly."
Zhu Yunxuan nodded: "You can figure it out. If they are sincere, it's okay to relax some conditions appropriately, and forget everything else."
In fact, Zhu Yunjing mentioned this matter to him in his letter before, Zhu Yunjing is now doing this sea business, and has contacts with these overseas countries, and he has indeed mentioned a lot of feasible ideas to Zhu Yunxuan in terms of customs and trade. Suggestion, it is more important to let him be careful and be on guard. Don't be too afraid of these foreign people, but you can't take it seriously.
After explaining the matter, Zhu Yunxuan left Yan Shixue alone, stared at him for a moment, and asked, "Someone said that you got close to those foreign people and took their benefits in private?"
Yan Shixue frowned, and said seriously: "Your Majesty believes in the old minister, how can the old minister do such things, those foreign people have indeed come to the old minister several times, just because they want to be summoned by His Majesty, so that they can talk to you face to face. The court worship is indeed my own idea. The leader is their governor in Nanyang. I want to take this opportunity to show off my country's prestige, so I told them that if there is sincerity, they must first pay homage to His Majesty according to my court etiquette, and then Talking about follow-up matters, they agreed and behaved very respectfully."
"Forget it if you don't have one," Zhu Yunxuan said calmly, "I'm worrying too much, and I hope that Yan Qing can always uphold integrity and be cautious in words and deeds."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the old minister understands."
After Yan Shixue retired, Zhu Yunxuan rubbed his eyebrows wearily, Gao An thoughtfully helped him change a cup of hot tea, and handed him the letter he just received: "A letter from the Duke."
Zhu Yunxuan's brows that had been depressed all the time relaxed a little, took the envelope and opened it, Zhu Yunjing would send him a letter every two months, this time the letter not only brought trivia, but also brought a piece of good news, he Already pregnant with my second child, almost two months.
Zhu Yunxuan's pale face rarely showed a gleam of joy. Although he always felt that it was a pity for his elder brother to go from being a proud son of heaven to being a husband and godson now, but Zhu Yunjing himself accepted it frankly, and had a child again. As a younger brother, what else can I say, but I am happy for him.
When Liang Zhen entered the door, Zhu Yunxuan was personally drafting the imperial decree. Seeing that his expression was no longer as tired as the previous two days, and his mood seemed to be much better, Liang Zhen raised his eyebrows and asked, "What kind of happy event has your Majesty encountered?"
Zhu Yunxuan ignored him and focused on his subordinate's edict. Liang Zhen didn't take it seriously, walked over to have a look, and after understanding what was going on, he sighed: "Marquis Dingyuan is really lucky, I really envy others."
Zhu Yunxuan's hand holding the pen paused, remembering that Liang Zhen used Zhu Yunjing and his children to threaten him before, raised his eyes, and looked at Liang Zhen with cold eyes.
Liang Zhen smiled with him: "What does Your Majesty see the minister doing?"
"I don't have to worry about what you did to me for the time being, but there are some people who shouldn't be touched by you. If you do..."
"If the subject moves, what does His Majesty plan to do with the subject?" Liang Zhen raised the corners of his lips.
Zhu Yunxuan's gaze was even colder: "Even if I die, I will definitely take you to be buried with me."
Liang Zhen nodded: "That's good. To live and die with His Majesty is what I wish for. This life is worth it."
"absurd."
Zhu Yunxuan stopped talking, drafted the imperial decree and entrusted it to it. All he can do is to give his elder brother some more good things, although his elder brother probably doesn't lack these things.
"Your Majesty really misses that Duke, why don't you send someone to pick him up and meet him in Beijing? You haven't seen him in five or six years, right?" Liang Zhen suddenly suggested.
Zhu Yunxuan immediately became vigilant again: "What do you want to do? As I said, if you touch him..."
"I really think about His Majesty, so Your Majesty doesn't want to meet with him to catch up?"
Of course he thought about it. Last year when he first ascended the throne, he was busy with everything. His elder brother went to Fujian and Guangdong with Marquis Dingyuan. Tired. What's more, the capital here has never been a safe place, and he doesn't want to bring even the slightest bit of crisis and trouble to his brother.
"This is my business, don't worry King Zhao."
Seeing that Zhu Yunxuan was unwilling to continue this topic, Liang Zhen simply stopped talking, so as not to annoy him again.
The person below brought the medicine, Gao An took it, passed it to Zhu Yunxuan, watched Zhu Yunxuan finish the medicine, and quickly handed over the snacks to relieve suffering.
Liang Zhen watched from the side, and suddenly said: "Eunuch Gao really puts his heart into serving His Majesty."
Gao An lowered his head, and replied neither overbearing nor humble: "Your Majesty should be served with care from a young age."
Liang Zhen threw a jade pendant over to him: "It's your reward, I think you have done something to serve His Majesty."
Gao An refused to answer, Zhu Yunxuan reminded Liang Zhen in a cold voice: "Gao An belongs to me, and does not need a special reward from King Zhao."
Liang Zhen didn't take it seriously: "I will reward you if you want, and I will reward you in front of His Majesty. Your Majesty, don't misunderstand that I want to bribe Eunuch Gao and ask him to do something that is not acceptable to His Majesty... Why, Eunuch Gao won't accept it, is it true?" Don't you want to give me this face?"
Zhu Yunxuan looked at him vigilantly, trying to tell the truth from what he said from the expression on Liang Zhen's face, but Liang Zhen just smiled and looked back at him calmly.
After a moment of stalemate, Zhu Yunxuan told Gao An quietly: "Since it was rewarded by King Zhao, you can take it."
Gao An agreed, then took the jade pendant and thanked Liang Zhen.
Zhu Yunxuan dismissed Gao An casually, and asked Liang Zhen with patience and anger, "What do you mean?"
Liang Zhen shook his head with a smile: "Your Majesty, what do you think this minister means? I really miss this Eunuch Gao. He is a loyal servant and deserves praise."
"He belongs to me." Zhu Yunxuan reminded Liang Zhen again that Gao An didn't listen to Liang Zhen that day and refused to take what he wanted. That's good." Zhu Yunxuan kept on guarding that Liang Zhen wanted to deal with Gao An, but he didn't expect to be in trouble today.
It was rare for him to have such a loyal person by his side, even if it was just a eunuch, he had followed him since he was a child, so naturally he couldn't let Liang Zhen send him off at will.
Seeing the wariness and anger in Zhu Yunxuan's eyes, Liang Zhen sighed in his heart, knowing that Zhu Yunxuan didn't believe him at all: "Gao An is all for His Majesty, I think he is a good one, and he has no other intentions, Your Majesty need not worry too much."
Zhu Yunxuan was still skeptical, but seeing Liang Zhen's words were so convincing, he didn't say any more.
Liang Zhen came closer, bent down, and whispered to him: "Your Majesty, go back to the inner hall and show me how your waist is doing."
Zhu Yunxuan's expression darkened for an instant, Liang Zhen blinked his eyes lightly, and after a while, he finally got up.
Back in the inner hall, Zhu Yunxuan lay down on the couch, Liang Zhen unfastened his belt, carefully opened his clothes, and saw the cluster of red plums in full bloom on the left waist.
After so many days, all the scabs had fallen off, and the red plum bloomed on Zhu Yunxuan's white waist more and more charmingly, captivating the soul. Liang Zhen rubbed it fondly, and praised again: "It's so beautiful, it's really beautiful..."
Zhu Yunxuan closed his eyes, his body trembled slightly with the movement of his fingertips, his fingers pinched deeply into his palm, forcing himself to hide his hatred, one day, one day...
