Do you know: I am the crown prince

Chapter 48 Sickness
Zhao Xing wanted to keep the money privately, not for enjoyment.

Although the emperor was frugal, he was very generous to his only son.

Zhao Xing's expenses on food, clothing and other daily necessities were not much less than those of the emperor and the empress, so there was no practical use for him to have the money.

The reason I keep it is that I plan to use it for business.

Although the Song Dynasty had high tax revenues, its expenditures were also large, leaving little surplus each year.

When it is temporarily impossible to save money through reform, opening up new sources of income is naturally a good solution.

As a time traveler, Zhao Xing couldn't figure out anything too advanced, but he roughly understood the principles of some simple things.

Just tinker with some of them and sell them within the Song Dynasty or to the Liao Kingdom and Western Xia, and you can make a lot of money.

Zhao Xing had this idea in mind a long time ago, but it was difficult to implement because he lived in the palace.

In addition, cost is also an issue.

Even though he is the crown prince, his monthly expenses are fixed. Although his father is generous to him, that is only for food and clothing. His monthly allowance is still fixed.

Although Zhao Xing lived in the palace and had free food and clothing, he still had to give rewards to the people who served him during festivals, so he didn't have much money left at the end of the year.

The two hundred thousand taels solved Zhao Xing’s capital problem.

Now that he had the money, Zhao Xing wanted to move out of the palace. However, his father always refused on the grounds that the East Palace had not been renovated yet.

Time flies, and it is the autumn of the eighth year of Tianyou.

The East Palace, which had been under renovation for nearly two years, was finally completed.

When Zhao Xing heard the news, he pestered his father for a long time. His father finally agreed and allowed him to move into the Eastern Palace after the new year.

Zhao Xing was happy for a long time, but a piece of news on this day made Zhao Xing's happy heart cool down instantly.

That day, Sheng Changbai said that his father came to Bian Jing to report on his work, and he wanted to take leave so that they could accompany his father.

After traveling through time for so many years, Zhao Xing had almost forgotten a problem that he had been slowly neglecting.

That is the death of the predecessor.

He didn't know when his predecessor died.

However, in the play, when Sheng Hong went to court for the first time after entering Beijing as an official, all the officials forced the emperor to adopt a member of the royal family and make him the crown prince, which made the emperor very angry.

Those officials were not stupid. It was impossible for them to force the emperor to appoint a crown prince when he had just lost his son. From this, it can be judged that the previous incarnation should have been dead for some time at that time.

Now Sheng Hong has come to Bian Jing to report on his work, and will come to Beijing after the New Year. Including the time he takes office, it should take about half a year.

Zhao Xing estimated that his predecessor died before the Chinese New Year this year.

Although Zhao Xing has been practicing martial arts and exercising his body since he traveled through time, he has a strong body and has hardly been sick over the years.

And because of his time travel, the original trajectory was also changed.

But Zhao Xing was still a little panicked, after all, the unknown was the most terrifying.

He didn't know when he died in his previous life, nor did he know why he died.

He keeps fit, which can only effectively prevent illness. But what if his predecessor had some genetic disease?
After all, his father's previous sons had all died. Even though the survival rate of infants was low in ancient times, this was the royal family, and all the conditions were the best in the world.

Unfortunately, all the official's sons died, but two of his daughters grew up.

Who can guarantee whether there are any genetic diseases that are passed down to males but not females?

Zhao Xing kept comforting himself, saying that those were all coincidences and that he was just scaring himself, but his heart was still beating very fast.

Because I was uneasy, I often lost focus in class and was reprimanded by the teacher several times.

……

Over the years, Zhao Xing has basically formed a biological clock, going to bed at 11:00 p.m. every day and getting up at 12:00 a.m. every day.

It rarely took more than an incense stick of time. That day, Sanshui and Hubo led the palace maids and eunuchs to wait outside the bedroom. Seeing that the time had passed, Zhao Xing did not get up at the usual time, and did not care at first.

After all, no matter how self-disciplined Zhao Xing is, he sometimes suffers from insomnia and wakes up late the next day.

But when it was exactly 12 am, Gu Yankai and his son arrived at Yongning Palace. Sanshui finally sensed something was wrong. He shouted a few times outside the palace but got no response, so he pushed open the door and walked in.

There was a candle left in the room, not extinguished. This light was for Zhao Xing to use at night, or if he needed anything, the servants would come in and see.

However, it was still dark, the doors and windows were closed, and even with a candle in the huge bedroom, it was still very dark.

When the palace maid in charge of lighting the candles on several candlesticks in the room lit up, the room instantly became bright.

Sanshui came to the bed and bowed, "Your Highness, Your Highness."

After shouting several times with no response, Sanshui's face changed. He pulled aside the tent and saw Zhao Xing lying on the bed with a red face.

"Your Highness, Your Highness."

Sanshui gently pushed Zhao Xing, and seeing that he still didn't respond, he reached out and touched his forehead, which felt a little hot. His face changed and he exclaimed, "Oh no, His Highness has a fever, and his forehead is very hot. Go and ask the imperial physician to come over."

Sanshui's exclamation was like throwing a huge rock into the calm water, causing huge waves.

The palace maids and eunuchs in the hall ran out in panic. Some went to find the imperial physician, and some went to report to the emperor and the queen.

His exclamation also woke up Zhao Xing who was lying on the bed.

Zhao Xing opened his eyes dazedly, feeling dizzy, his mind blank, and his mouth dry. He instinctively said, "Water... I want to drink water."

However, the voice was so low that Sanshui didn't hear it at all.

After giving the order, Sanshui turned around anxiously and saw Zhao Xing's eyes slightly open. She said in surprise, "Your Highness, you are awake! How do you feel? I have asked someone to invite the imperial physician."

After he finished speaking, Zhao Xing didn't say anything, but just moved his mouth. Seeing this, Sanshui hurriedly moved closer and only then could he vaguely hear Zhao Xing talking about water.

"Bring the warm water quickly." Sanshui ordered quickly.

Because Zhao Xing had the habit of drinking a cup of warm water after washing up, as soon as Sanshui opened his mouth, a palace maid brought him warm water.

"Hurry, help His Highness up, and be careful." Sanshui took the warm water and ordered.

Upon hearing this, the palace maid hurriedly and carefully helped Zhao Xing up, sat at the head of the bed, and let Zhao Xing lean on her.

Sanshui carefully fed Zhao Xing some water. As soon as the water went down his throat, Zhao Xing became much more sober and started drinking it in big gulps.

After drinking a glass of water, although Zhao Xing still felt dizzy, his consciousness gradually returned.

Zhao Xing felt weak all over. He looked at Sanshui and asked weakly, "What time is it now?"

"Your Highness, it's already past 11:00 a.m., are you okay?" Sanshui asked.

"I feel dizzy. Let me sleep for a while." Zhao Xing said.

Upon hearing this, Sanshui quickly asked the palace maid to put Zhao Xing down carefully.

After lying down, Zhao Xing fell asleep soon. Before he lost consciousness, Zhao Xing thought to himself, "Is he going to die?"
Zhao Xing smiled bitterly in his heart, as he, as a prince, had never enjoyed anything.

……

Zhao Xing regained consciousness again, awakened by a bitter taste.

“Cough… cough… cough cough…”

As soon as he regained consciousness, Zhao Xing felt a strong bitter taste in his mouth. Just as he was about to speak, he was choked and started coughing violently.

"Fuer is awake!"

"Fu'er, how are you? Imperial doctor, imperial doctor, come and see what's wrong with Fu'er?"
