At noon the next day, Zhou Shuren returned home. His face was exhausted, and the bruises under his eyes were particularly obvious. He was supported by Zhulan and sat down motionless.
Zhulan was worried, "What's going on?"
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to touch Shuren's forehead, and then touched his own. He went back and forth several times to confirm that there was no fever.
Zhou Shuren calmed down for a while and drank a few more glasses of juice. The sweetness in his mouth gave him enough energy, "Don't worry, I'm fine, I just didn't get enough rest."
His head was buzzing and he had a severe headache.
Zhulan said: "Then go in and have a good sleep."
Zhou Shuren really wanted to sleep, and he could rest in the palace. He didn't sleep well, and his heart was always in doubt. Now that he was home, his eyelids were twitching, "I'll take a bath first."
"Okay, okay, I'll let Qingxue prepare now."
Zhou Shuren took his wife's hand and said, "Sit with me for a while."
Zhulan touched Shuren's hand. Because her daughter was in charge of the palace for the queen, she could hear news about Shuren every day and knew that she was doing well. She felt a lot more at ease. Now that she sees people coming home, she touches this hand. There was almost no meat left, and she felt extremely distressed.
Zhou Shuren calmed down for a while and said, "I'm just a little tired. It's nothing. I just need to rest for a few days. The emperor allowed me five days to rest."
Zhulan was surprised, "So many days?"
Zhou Shuren twitched the corners of his lips, "I guess he's afraid that I'll die early."
Zhulan, "...are you going to become a national treasure?"
Zhou Shuren recalled the way the emperor looked at him today, and felt a little scared, "I don't know if the emperor was in a dream, but the emperor looked at me today with a strange and panicked look."
Zhulan's heart was raised, "What kind of look?"
"It felt like he was trying to protect me. Before I left, I asked the imperial doctor to check my pulse and make sure I was fine before I felt at ease. By the way, look at the reward the emperor gave me."
Zhulan's attention was all on Shuren, and then she looked at the box on the table, "Then let me go and take a look?"
"Well, I'm quite curious too."
Zhulan stood up and opened the box, ginseng, cordyceps, Ganoderma lucidum, etc., "..."
They are all precious medicinal materials!
Zhou Shuren hissed when he saw the number, "You are really afraid that I will die."
"I guess it was a dream? I don't know what he said."
Thinking of this, Zhulan's heart was lifted, and she hurriedly said: "It can't be our secret, right?"
Zhou Shuren shook his head, "No."
If the emperor knew about it, he wouldn't be able to leave the palace, and even if he left the palace, the people around him would have changed. He estimated that the dead emperor knew something, but he just couldn't say it, or didn't want to say it, so he gave the emperor a hint.
Zhulan thought so, and then asked curiously, "You didn't dream?"
Zhou Shuren shook his head this time, "No."
He wasn't afraid of the Emperor's dream, but it was a pity that he didn't dream of it!
When Shuren took a bath and went to bed, Zhulan sat and watched, her hands that had not embroidered for a long time picked up the needle and thread again.
Boss Zhou and the others came here late on purpose, just to give their parents time, but they ended up falling asleep.
Zhou Laodaodao: "Let's go back first and let dad have a good rest."
Chang Yi nodded a few times, but that was all he could do. However, he still asked Qingxue, and felt relieved knowing that everything was fine with his father.
As the Supreme Emperor was sent to the imperial mausoleum, normal life in the capital returned to normal. I will still miss the Supreme Emperor, but in my heart.
All departments resumed normal work, and the morning court was canceled for three days. During these three days, the emperor rested and the prince took charge.
In the past three days, Zhou Shuren recovered well. The only regret was that he had to become a vegetarian. In the past few days, Zhou Shuren's house was closed tightly and he had not seen anyone. Even if Wang Ju wrote a post, he had not seen him.
Now he and the entire Zhouhou Mansion are on the cusp of the storm. He is an outsider. No, Ming Teng is also an outsider. Their ancestors and grandsons are sending the Supreme Emperor off in the palace. It is too eye-catching. If the Supreme Emperor had not just entered the imperial mausoleum, the threshold of the Hou Mansion would have been blocked. Flattened.
Xuehan returned to her parents' home that day. As soon as she entered the main courtyard, she saw her father and mother sitting under a tree playing chess. She walked over without saying a word and waited for the game to end before saying, "Dad, mother."
Zhou Shuren and his wife had discovered their daughter a long time ago. Shuren asked, "Are Rongchuan and the children okay?"
Xue Han said: "The children are fine, but Rong Chuan still needs to take good care of himself. I am the only one who is back today, and the children are with Rong Chuan."
Zhulan looked puzzled, "Why do I think you have changed a lot?"
Xuehan lowered his head, "No, my daughter always dresses like this."
Zhulan looked at her daughter carefully, "It's the momentum."
Zhou Shuren touched his beard and said, "It's different after all."
The daughter will manage the harem for the queen for a few days, and she needs to be able to suppress others. Once she has the power, it is difficult for her to change. The daughter also needs to control her momentum.
Xue Han was smart, "I saw my parents today, and tomorrow I will accompany Rong Chuan to copy scriptures."
Zhulan nodded, "It's good to be quiet."
The queen felt a knot in her heart to avoid seeing the queen in the palace. Thinking of the queen, Zhulan sighed. The queen held on until the emperor entered the imperial mausoleum, and then fell ill. She heard a lot of rumors at home even when she didn't go out.
Seeing the girl's appearance, she must have never been to the palace. It will not be easy for the girl to enter the palace in the future. In the future, she can only be summoned by the queen.
When Xuehan's father came home, she sent someone to ask about the situation. It was indeed good to see her father today, so she went back without sitting down for a while.
Zhulan waited for her daughter to leave, "I'm so lucky that Ya'er is fine."
Zhou Shuren said, "Xia'er is Ning Xu's eyeball. Who doesn't know that Ninghou Mansion has many doctors?"
In the Hanlin Academy, Chang Zhi took the tea from Gu Sheng naturally and asked casually, "Have you heard a lot of bad words in the past two days?"
Gu Sheng didn't care, "I did listen to a lot."
Because of Zhou Hou's relationship, Lord Zhou became more popular in the Hanlin Academy. Unfortunately, Lord Zhou was very alienated and no one liked him. He was the only one chatting and drinking tea with Lord Zhou. He didn't dare to blame him, so he could only target him behind his back. .
Changzhi came into contact with Gu Sheng and liked Gu Sheng's temperament more and more. "This is also a kind of training."
Gu Sheng, "Yeah."
A quarter of an hour later, Gu Sheng returned to the room and did not notice the complexity in Zhuo Guyu's eyes.
The Yong'an Duke's Mansion has been very quiet recently, and he was warned by his grandfather to be cautious recently, fearing that the emperor would notice that the Yong'an Duke's Mansion no longer existed.
Zhuo Guyu lowered his head. He didn't know what the Zhouhou Mansion was thinking, but one thing was that Gu Sheng was lucky enough to win the Zhouhou Mansion's favor!
After leaving the Yamen, Gu Sheng took the carriage driven by his eldest brother to go home. His eldest brother had been worried about him recently and had just arrived at the alley in front of his house.
Gu Yan said: "Ji Deming."
Gu Sheng also saw it. Ji Deming got off the carriage with the box in his hand. Gu Sheng pursed his lips. Ji Deming has been apologizing recently, "I still said the same thing, you can answer it."
If he hadn't been lucky, Ji Deming's plan would have ruined his life. He had no heart to forgive, nor did he want to forgive.
Ji Deming, "I sincerely apologize. We are fellow villagers. I will never plot against you in the future."
Gu Sheng didn't believe it. If there was one, there would be two. "Go back."
Ji Deming was also upset. He couldn't find out anything from Zhou Changyi's mouth, but it made him even more worried, but Gu Sheng couldn't get enough of it.
He didn't dare to talk about it recently, but he would also discuss the Zhouhou Mansion, which made him even more panicked.
Zhou Houfu received a letter from his hometown. Ming and Qing said a lot of caring words, and finally asked Chang Zhong if he would take the scholar examination next year.
After Zhulan saw it, she asked, "What do you think?"
Zhou Shuren said: "Call your son and ask him what he wants. If he wants to take the test, he can take it."
