On the other hand, the emperor spent an extremely tangled night, and Eunuch Wei did not dare to urge him. It was not until the early morning that Eunuch Wei dared to enter the study and whispered, "Your Majesty, it is time for the morning."
"Um."
The emperor responded in a deep voice.
Eunuch Wei didn't dare to speculate what kind of struggle he went through that night, but just followed behind the emperor without squinting, and went to the bedroom to wait on the emperor to wash, change, and change into a dragon robe.
Because of the sleepless night, the emperor's face had two large dark circles under his eyes, and the ministers in the front row still noticed it even after being so far apart.
The Minister of the Chamber of Commerce held the wat board and glanced at Mrs. Zhuang next to him, and said in a low voice, "What's the matter, Your Majesty?"
Master Zhuang said in a low voice, "Xu is the trouble of state affairs."
"Is it a matter of border control?" The Minister of the Ministry of Housing asked.
King Ning and Tang Yueshan went to suppress the bandits and found out what was going on at the border of Chen State. On the surface, King Chen State wanted to confer a new queen to attract the attention of other countries, but who could say that Chen State would not secretly send troops to Zhao State?
Before waiting for Master Zhuang to answer, the Minister of the Household tutted: "The proton of Chen State is still in Zhao State, so they can't wait to send troops, are they too ignorant of the life and death of the proton of Chen State?"
Master Zhuang thought to himself, when Xuanping Hou led his army to attack Chen State, wasn't the Anjun King also in Chen State as a hostage
Thinking about it this way, did Your Majesty and the Marquis of Xuanping not care too much about the life and death of King Anjun
It's just that the Marquis of Xuanping fought so beautifully. Not only did he send someone to protect Anjun King in advance, but he didn't let him fall into the hands of Chen Guo and become a hostage on the battlefield. He even attacked Huanglong and almost overturned Chen Guo. the palace.
I don't know if Chen Guo has such a wise and brave general.
There was nothing special about the early court today, except that a certain censor in the line of Mrs. Zhuang impeached an emperor's confidant minister on the grounds that the other party had entered and exited the brothel and humiliated his official position.
To be honest, it is very difficult to beat people down for the crime of visiting a brothel, that is, the censors who are not used to anything will do this, and everyone thinks that the emperor will not accept it.
Unexpectedly, the emperor waved his palm and asked the Dali temple minister to strictly control this person.
The ministers were stunned.
This, this is okay
"Your Majesty!" The Minister of Industry stepped forward, even an outsider like him couldn't see it. How could anyone really be impeached under the name of visiting a brothel? To put it this way, how many times should the Marquis of Xuanping have been removed from the black gauze cap
"This person has been disrespectful to the Queen Mother, and dared to criticize the Queen Mother in front of me. Such a disobedient minister should be punished severely. I have made up my mind, and the ministers do not need to discuss it again." The queen mother took a look, her eyes were a little excited, as if she was saying, praise me, praise me!
Empress Dowager Zhuang ignored him.
After going down to court, the emperor caught up with Empress Dowager Zhuang's Feng Huo.
Empress Dowager Zhuang, in the spirit of sacrifice of five candied fruits, patiently went out of Feng Chau and looked at him with a kind face: "Is the emperor looking for Ai's family?"
The emperor said: "I have something to say to my mother alone."
He used to claim that he was either my son or my son, which was somewhat teasing, but Empress Dowager Zhuang only cared about her five candied fruits, and did not hear the deep meaning of his claim at all.
Empress Dowager Zhuang screened the servants, and the emperor also screened Eunuch Wei and others, leaving only the mother and son standing on the long path.
The emperor struggled all night before deciding to tell everything to Empress Dowager Zhuang. She was one of the victims of the incident, and she had the right to know the truth.
It's just that his thoughts are still very confused, so the language is a little incoherent. Fortunately, Queen Mother Zhuang understands it, and also sees that this silly son is letting Xiao Liulang's little black sesame dumplings do the trick.
But the truth is the truth, Xiao Liulang did not distort the truth.
"...I didn't expect Concubine Jing to do that... But don't worry, the imperial decree has been destroyed..."
He didn't know if he was expressing it clearly enough. The Queen Mother's expression was so calm that he suspected that she didn't understand.
He continued: "And the relationship with the mother and queen all these years... It was actually a misunderstanding... I have been pregnant all these years... "
"So you don't have to act anymore?"
Empress Dowager Zhuang interrupted the emperor.
The emperor was slightly startled.
Uh... the point... is this
No more acting means no more candied fruit.
The emperor without the candied fruit filter lost his attractiveness instantly. Empress Dowager Zhuang's smile collapsed and she turned around with disgust: "Aijia is gone!"
emperor:"… "
Did he explain loneliness
Empress Dowager Zhuang's indifferent reaction definitely gave the emperor a heavy blow. The emperor naturally did not think that he lost the value of converting into candied fruit. He stubbornly believed that Empress Dowager Zhuang was angry with him and hurt her for so many years. gas.
Some things are just a matter of thought.
However, some ravines have spanned more than 20 years.
The emperor went to Bishui Hutong again.
Xiao Liulang guessed that the emperor would frequently go back and forth to Bishui Hutong in the past few days, so he specially took leave of absence from the Hanlin Academy and stayed at home to "take care" of Gu Jiao.
Gu Jiao sat on the bed, enjoying delicious food and drinks to enjoy the beauty of her husband.
Xiao Liulang sat on the stool by the bed and peeled oranges for her.
He has well-defined joints, long fingers, and he does rough work, but he is naturally good-looking, like a beautiful jade.
Gu Jiao looked at his face for a while and his hands for a while.
Xiao Liulang was accustomed to her scrutiny, and couldn't help but be a little puzzled.
Really... so pretty
He is a cripple, a cripple who may never get better, always dragging a broken body, and she will always be criticized when she is with him.
"Gu Jiao, I'm lame."
He didn't pay attention, but he said what was in his heart.
Gu Jiao said, "I know."
Xiao Liulang continued to peel the oranges in his hands: "Do you really not mind? I may... not good. You can also see that I worked hard in rehab, and I didn't fall for a day, but I just couldn't walk... Like you go."
She is looking forward to him in her heart, hoping that one day he can walk like a normal person.
But he probably won't be able to.
When her patience runs out, will she still look at him like she does now
Emotions are very delicate things. The more you care, the less confident you will be.
In the past, he also felt that a lame leg was nothing, anyway, life is dark, no one sees, he himself can't see, and he can see them as if they can't see.
However, suddenly one day, she lit a lamp, illuminating the road under his feet, and also showing that he was in a state of embarrassment.
Gu Jiao gave him a strange look, didn't he care about his legs? Feng Lin was scared to death when he operated on him, but he didn't care at all.
Why do you care now
Gu Jiao couldn't guess what he was thinking for a while, and after thinking about it, she pointed to the birthmark on her face and said, "Then do you mind if I look so ugly?"
She didn't know that what was on her face was Shougongsha, thinking that this would accompany her for a lifetime.
Xiao Liulang opened his mouth.
fool.
How could he mind
What's more, this thing will disappear.
When you become so perfect, do you still think that a broken body like me is worthy of you
Gu Jiao didn't understand his sudden emotions, she thought about it seriously, and asked, "Are you bothered? Is it because of what I said last night? You don't want me to watch you take a shower?"
"No." Not at all.
Gu Jiao's big eyes brightened: "So you want me to watch you take a bath?"
Xiao Liulang: ... Why can't you tell
The voices of Eunuch Wei and the emperor came from outside the door.
Gu Jiao hurriedly lay down.
Xiao Liulang planned to put the peeled oranges on the table, but unexpectedly, her little hand reached out and took the oranges, holding them in her hands and hiding them under the quilt.
"Mine," she said.
…
Xiao Liulang met the emperor in the main room.
The emperor asked about Gu Jiao's condition. Xiao Liulang said that he was better than yesterday. He was awake in the morning and only rested after lunch.
The emperor felt that his arrival was unfortunate, he came to ask for medicine.
"What's wrong with Your Majesty?" Xiao Liulang asked. If you have a minor illness, you can ask the doctor in the medical center to treat your Majesty. If you are seriously ill, you have to ask Jiaojiao to "wake up" again.
The emperor hadn't slept all night, and he was so emaciated at the moment, it really looked like he was seriously ill.
The emperor said: "I want to ask if there is a solution to the black medicine? I... cough." He cleared his throat and continued, "I have been at odds with my mother for many years, mostly because of the effects of this medicine, and now that the truth has been revealed, I I just wanted to ask about the antidote."
Xiao Liulang looked at him for unknown reasons.
You are a mother at a time, do you really still use the antidote
Gu Jiao had said that there was not much medicinal effect left in His Majesty's body, otherwise Concubine Jing would not risk giving His Majesty another medicine.
Now that the truth has come to light, under the stimulation of the truth, I am afraid that the last bit of medicine has disappeared.
But Xiao Liulang is no longer the pure and innocent teenager he used to be. He has his own mind, his own calculations, and even a city government.
He lowered his eyes and sighed: "Originally, there was no antidote, but Jiaojiao once refined a kind of pill, which was designed to cure addiction, and I think it would have some effect."
"Is this true?" The emperor's eyes instantly lit up.
Xiao Liulang said: "I'll bring it for His Majesty to try. Jiaojiao's medicine is very safe, and it won't hurt your body if it doesn't work."
The emperor happily said: "If it is really effective, I will remember your merit."
Xiao Liulang said: "The medicine was made by Jiaojiao, and it is the credit of Jiaojiao, not Weichen's."
Having said that, the emperor took credit for both of them.
He has made Empress Dowager Zhuang wrong for many years, and he has forgotten some things. Maybe he can remember them all after taking the medicine.
Furthermore, there seemed to be something between him and Empress Dowager Zhuang, which made him dare not move forward. He speculated that it should be the efficacy of black medicine.
If Xiao Liulang knew what he was thinking, he would definitely tell him that it was your son's embarrassment, Your Majesty!
Xiao Liulang quickly took the pills, three in total.
In fact, it is used for Gu Chenglin's hair growth, and there are no side effects.
When the emperor is middle-aged, he also has a little trouble with hair loss. It is good to eat some hair growth pills.
Xiao Liulang handed the Shengfa Pill to the emperor, and said without changing his face: "It is reasonable to say that one is enough, if the effect is not enough, take another one."
The implication is that three is more than enough.
"Will it really work?" the Emperor asked.
"Your Majesty must believe in Jiaojiao's medical skills." Xiao Liulang said.
"That's right." The emperor paused, thought of something, and asked, "What happens if I eat too much? Will the effect double or will it be counterproductive?"
Xiao Liulang took a deep look at the emperor and said, "The effect will be doubled, it may become..."
"How?" the emperor asked anxiously.
"Extremely sticky.".
"what… "
The emperor was frightened.
He doesn't want that. He is the king of a country, the supreme being of the ninety-five years, how can he become that kind of virtue
one.
One is enough!
The emperor suddenly felt a little relieved, put the medicine bottle on the table in the main room for the time being, got up and went to the Gong room.
The old sacrifice wine secretly came out of the stove. Zhuang Jinse came over today and was playing cards next door. He was making brown sugar glutinous rice cakes for Zhuang Jinse.
He asked, "Is there really an antidote?"
Xiao Liulang said: "It's fake, it's Shengfa Pill."
Old sacrifice wine: "… "
When the emperor came out of the Gong's room, the old sacrificial wine had already returned to the stove. The emperor planned to return to the palace with the antidote. He never thought that Empress Dowager Zhuang had finished playing cards from the next door.
The mother and son met unexpectedly at the door.
The emperor was nervous for a while: "Mother..."
Empress Dowager Zhuang didn't even look at him, she snorted and walked past him.
"Your Majesty, are you going back to the palace?" Eunuch Wei asked.
The emperor struggled for a moment and said, "No, I... I'll stay here for dinner and return to the palace with my mother later."
The emperor wanted to stay for dinner, and everyone dared not say anything.
Today, the little men in the house are not around, Gu Yan and Gu Xiaoshun went to study art, and Xiao Jingkong went to Xu Porridge's house to play.
At the dinner table, there were only Empress Dowager Zhuang, the emperor, the Yao family, Lao Jijiu, Xiao Liulang, and Gu Jiao who "woke up from a nap".
The pills that Gu Jiao gave were too big to swallow, so they had to be mixed with water.
Before dinner, the emperor gave the medicine bottle to Eunuch Wei.
Eunuch Wei rushed over a bowl of dark concoction, and the emperor resisted the unpleasant smell and drank it in one breath.
The emperor said with disgust: "Why is it so bitter? How many did you put in?"
Eunuch Wei wondered: "Isn't there only three in total?"
The emperor's face changed: "You... you let it all go?"
Eunuch Wei was even more astonished: "You let all the servants go."
The emperor was completely unimpressed!
Eunuch Wei didn't lie, he did ask, and the emperor hummed, but the emperor was thinking about Empress Dowager Zhuang at the time, and he didn't hear what Eunuch Wei said at all.
Thinking of the "extremely sticky" medicinal effect that Xiao Liulang said, the emperor's whole person is not good.
"Your Majesty, what's the matter with you?" Eunuch Wei asked worriedly.
The emperor took a deep breath: "It's okay, I, I am the Supreme Being of Ninety-five, I will not do such a shameful thing... I can hold it back... I am very rational..."
Empress Dowager Zhuang had eaten, and it was time to return to the palace. She got up and walked out.
The emperor covered his heart.
Is the effect of the drug onset? Why do you want to catch up so suddenly
"His Majesty?"
It's over, my heart is beating so fast!
"His Majesty?"
Empress Dowager Zhuang stepped into the carriage with the help of Eunuch Qin.
No, you can't chase it!
The effect of the medicine is too intense, who knows what he will say in a while!
The emperor held back!
Eunuch Qin lowered the curtain for Empress Dowager Zhuang, took away the pedals, and sat on the outer seat.
The wheel reel moved slowly.
The emperor's heart tightened, and he suddenly stretched out his hand toward the carriage: "Mother! Don't you want your little, Hong, Hong!"
Everyone in the room spit out a sip of tea—
What, do they want to tell His Majesty that the medicine is fake...
