Prince Consort

Zhao Ying was unconscious, and the imperial physician was helpless.

Over the past few years, medical books such as "Materia Medica" and "Qian Jin Fang" have been compiled, and many famous doctors have gathered in the capital, but Zhao Ying's health is getting weaker and weaker, and the medicine stone is basically useless.

Xie Ze'an begged to see Mr. Yang who was temporarily staying in Xie's mansion.

Mr. Yang said, "I won't save the Zhao family." After speaking, he added, "Even if I save them, it's impossible to bring them back to life."

Xie Zean fell silent.

Elder Yang's complaints about the Zhao family came from the previous generation. The late emperor did many absurd things in his pursuit of longevity.The Yang family and the former son-in-law's family suffered the catastrophe of moving the family and exterminating the family, almost all because of the stupidity of the late emperor.The former son-in-law was adopted by the queen mother and was close to the royal family since he was a child. When Mr. Yang found him, he had already made his own decision, and he wanted to make a smooth turn for the nearly collapsed court.

Elder Yang felt sorry for him and cherished him, so he returned to the capital.

Rescuing a princess of the Zhao family has made him very upset, and he is required to save the emperor of the Zhao family?

Impossible!

Old Yang snorted coldly: "The Zhao family is already alive because they are not dead. Do you still want me to help them live longer?"

Xie Ze'an sat silently opposite Mr. Yang, watching the setting sun move westward slowly.

The shadow of his eyelashes fell on his face, covering up the unconcealable shock.Zhao Ying treats him and Zhao Chongzhao by no means. Zhao Ying is a stubborn person, even more stubborn than him and Zhao Chongzhao. All his arrangements are so cold that they don't look like decisions made by people with joy, anger, sorrow and joy.He once chose to give up his close friend who was dying, he once chose to exile a powerful and loyal minister, he once chose to replace his own prince, and he once chose many choices that ordinary people could not make.

Such a person seemed to overlap with the old man back then.

The old man didn't like to brag about the past, and his old friends didn't like to mention the past either. They only slipped up once and mentioned where the old man had participated in a certain battle.Xie Ze'an looked back and found out, but was speechless for a long time in front of the tragic information.The old man once took everyone under his command to participate in a fatal raid, but everyone died, and he came back alive.

At the end of the war, the old man did not accept the award, and lived alone in hiding in a foreign country.His temper became more and more eccentric, and he gradually led a solitary life.It wasn't until he picked up a wild wolf cub that the old look occasionally flashed in his eyes.

That is definitely an old man with a cold heart, a cruel method, and an indifferent temper, and he is as stubborn as a stinky stone in a latrine.

Xie Ze'an didn't like this kind of person for a long time.

But after coming to this era, he saw the shadow of that stinky stone in many people.

Zhao Ying was like this, Mr. Yang was like this, and so was Yao Dingyan.

No matter which one of them, he can't influence their decision.

Xie Ze'an sighed and said: "Indeed, life and death are like the rising of the sun and the setting of the moon, no one can stop it." He stood up and solemnly bowed to Old Yang, "Yan Ning has troubled you all these years."

Xie Ze'an returned in vain, but when he returned to the main house, he saw Princess Yan Ning holding her finger in her mouth, and the half-embroidered silk handkerchief on her hand was stained with a drop of blood, like a blooming red plum.

Xie Ze'an asked, "Why are you so careless?"

Princess Yan Ning said: "Sanlang, something must have happened. Are you hiding something from me?"

The father and daughter are united, and Princess Yan Ning has been restless all day, always feeling that something is about to happen.

Xie Ze'an knew that this kind of thing could never be hidden from Princess Yan Ning, so he stretched out his hand to hold Princess Yan Ning's cold palm: "Yan Ning, father is not in good health."

Princess Yan Ning's heart trembled slightly, her mind went blank.

Although Zhao Ying had already mentioned that she didn't have much time, Princess Yan Ning still couldn't accept the fact that she was in front of her.Especially not long ago, she had just discovered Zhao Chongzhao's thoughts on Xie Ze'an. Without Zhao Ying on top, would Zhao Chongzhao become unscrupulous?How long can Zhao Chongzhao endure the brother-sister friendship between them?

Princess Yanning looked at Xie Ze'an in a daze.

Xie Ze'an could only comfort bitterly: "Your Majesty is blessed and blessed, and nothing will happen."

Princess Yan Ning went to the palace to meet Zhao Ying that night.

Zhao Chongzhao was already standing in front of the hospital bed, looking haggard.Seeing Princess Yan Ning coming, Zhao Chongzhao quickly got up and grabbed her arm, and said, "Ning'er, are you entering the palace so late?"

Princess Yan Ning said: "I'm worried about my father..."

Zhao Chongzhao's expression darkened slightly.

He led Princess Yanning to the outside room, and put some clothes on for Princess Yanning: "The weather is turning cold, you should wear more."

Princess Yan Ning said "Hmm" and asked about Zhao Ying's condition.

Zhao Chongzhao said: "The imperial doctor can't do anything at all... But Ning'er, don't worry, Father will definitely wake up." He looked at Princess Yan Ning's drooping eyelashes, "Ning'er, I figured it out."

Princess Yanning was startled.

Zhao Chongzhao stretched out his hand to embrace Princess Yan Ning into his arms: "I was just confused by San Lang for a while. Seeing San Lang's good looks, I thought I liked San Lang." He pressed his palm on Princess Yan Ning's head slightly, " Like Xie Qian and the others, I think they are good-looking, so I want to get closer..."

Princess Yanning's eyes were moist.

Zhao Chongzhao said: "From now on, I will be a qualified prince. Ning'er, I will not disappoint you and my father's expectations. As for you, just live happily. If, I mean, if my father Now that I'm gone, I really only have you as a family member. Although the emperor's grandmother is very good, she doesn't get close to me after all. You stay in Xie's house, and you should know how difficult it would be for a person without such a family member. You and Saburo have to live a good life, so that I have something in my heart. Throughout the ages, princes and kings often have to learn to be lonely, but I have never learned it. Ninger, Ninger, please forgive my nonsense , I only have you..."

Princess Yan Ning's heart trembled.

She choked with sobs and hugged Zhao Chongzhao tightly: "Brother."

The two siblings hugged each other for a long time, Zhao Chongzhao asked someone to tidy up the collapse, and let Princess Yanning, who was unwilling to leave, sleep on it, while he sat quietly in front of Zhao Ying's bed, staring at Zhao Ying's face without closing his eyes, for fear of missing it Timing for Zhao Ying to wake up.

As soon as the day comes, Zhao Chongzhao will go to court on Zhao Ying's behalf.Xie Ze'an tacitly staggered away from him, and only stepped into Zhao Ying's bedroom after he left.

Princess Yan Ning has finished washing and washing, and she is holding Zhao Ying's hand and talking.

Xie Ze'an asked the imperial physician to feel the pulse of Princess Yan Ning as well.

The imperial doctor said: "Don't worry, Prince Consort, Your Highness has no major problems, just take care of him as usual."

Xie Ze'an breathed a sigh of relief, and stretched out his hands to rub Princess Yan Ning's hair.

Princess Yan Ning stayed by the bed for a while, and was finally persuaded by Xie Ze'an to have breakfast.

After two days like this, Princess Yan Ning noticed that Zhao Ying's hand moved with sharp eyes, and quickly called the imperial physician to see Zhao Ying.

Zhao Ying finally woke up at noon, and Zhao Chongzhao hurried over after finishing the last memorial.

Seeing Zhao Ying's weak appearance, Zhao Chongzhao's eyes turned red, but he did not shed tears.He reached out and grabbed Zhao Ying's hands. Those hands were covered with thin calluses and were a little weak, but his slender and powerful hands could hold anything tightly.

Zhao Chongzhao recalled that when he was a child, he wanted to get close to Zhao Ying ignorantly. At that time, Zhao Ying had so much strength, his back was straight, and his hair was black. It only took more than ten years to become like this.This rapid aging and sickness are related to busy affairs, and also related to his disappointment.He is probably the person who worries Zhao Ying the most, because he is not only his son, but also the prince of a country, and will be the king of a country in the future.Zhao Ying struggled with the illness for so many years, mostly because she couldn't let go of her worries—won't let her worry about him...

Zhao Chongzhao said: "Father, I have been acting as the supervisor of the country for the past two days. Everything is fine and there is no accident. I listened to the opinions of several political participants and the Tai Tuo on many things, and finally made a judgment. You Wake up just right, and when you get better, hurry up and see if I made any mistakes."

Looking at Zhao Chongzhao's suddenly mature face, Zhao Ying felt rare comfort in her heart.He shook Zhao Chongzhao's hand back: "You have to work harder these days."

Zhao Chongzhao said: "No problem, I don't feel tired at all."

Princess Yan Ning looked at the blue shadow in Zhao Chongzhao's eyes, felt sour in her heart, and turned her eyes away.

Zhao Chongzhao hasn't closed his eyes at all these days, and he has to constantly adapt to the busy government affairs during the day, no matter how good his body is, he will collapse.

Princess Yan Ning said: "Brother, father is already awake, go and rest."

Zhao Chongzhao paused, nodded and said, "Father, you should also rest a little longer. I'll come and see you later."

Zhao Chongzhao went directly to the next door and had a good and sound sleep.Before he knew it, he entered the dream again. In the dream, he was still that gloomy little devil, secretly complaining that Zhao Ying didn't get close to him. He was always envious that Zhao Ying would hug Yan Ning, envy that Zhao Ying would joke with Yan Ning, but he didn't care No matter how Zhao Ying did it, he was extremely strict with him, as if he was not his son, and he was only born to be a prince, a heir apparent.

More and more people are talking behind his back: "It's not suitable at all..." "How does he look like a prince..." "Daqing is going to be unlucky..."

He covered his ears and kept running, and the voices became louder and louder, almost shaking his ears so that he could no longer hear anything.

Suddenly, all voices suddenly quieted down.

There is only one person left talking between heaven and earth.

"Your Highness, let's go do some little bad things together..."

"Your Highness, I have a small idea..."

"Your Highness, I have a little idea here..."

They set off firecrackers on the way of their cousin's wedding ceremony, blew up the hut at "Qingliu"'s house, and set off fireworks on Yan Ning's birthday...

As long as they get together, there seems to be nothing impossible in the world.He thought that if he liked to eat, drink, and play, then they would eat, drink, and play for a lifetime...

When many people were not going to stand by him anymore, one person stood by him without saying a word about how much he had done.

Everyone has someone closer, he only has him, he only has him...

Zhao Chongzhao wanted to reach out to the person in his dream, when he suddenly heard a call: "Brother..."

Zhao Chongzhao's hand was in the air.

That person disappeared.

Yes, he not only has him, he also has his father, he also has his sister, and he also has responsibilities on his back...

Father and son siblings.

Jiangshan Sheji.

Zhao Chongzhao opened his eyes suddenly.

He raised his hand to touch his face and found that it was wet.

Saburo, Saburo, Saburo.

Zhao Chongzhao sat up, asked Zhang Dade to get dressed, and washed his face with warm water.

The setting sun was just right outside, so it could be seen that he slept for a long time.

Zhao Chongzhao stepped out quickly and walked to Zhao Ying's bedroom.Zhao Ying has been helped into a wheelchair by the servant, and is sitting in front of the desk to write.

Seeing Zhao Chongzhao came, Zhao Ying said: "I let Ning'er and Sanlang go back first."

Zhao Chongzhao nodded and said, "I accidentally fell asleep for a long time. I'll send someone to send me the memorial later. If you can't make a decision, you can directly ask Father."

Zhao Chongzhao said, "Let's have a meal first."

It was a long time ago that the father and son ate alone. Zhao Chongzhao was a little tasteless, so he filled his stomach hastily and concentrated on serving Zhao Ying.

Zhao Ying was not in good spirits, so she ate slowly and less.Zhao Chongzhao was heartbroken, and asked Zhang Dade to bring some porridge after an hour.

Zhao Ying said: "People eat so little when they are old, don't worry."

Zhao Chongzhao said: "Father, you will not be hungry, but I will be hungry. It is I who want to eat."

Zhao Ying can only let him go.

Zhao Chongzhao moved all the government affairs to Zhao Ying's dormitory. After a few days of getting along with each other day and night, the father and son became much closer than before.Zhao Chongzhao was a fast learner, and he had fully mastered the kung fu in a few days. It took less than half an hour to pick out important memorials from the vast sea of ​​scriptures and read them to Zhao Ying.

Zhao Ying listens more and speaks less, even if she speaks, she only gives advice and guidance, and does not directly give advice.

Zhao Chongzhao didn't feel impatient at all.

Before she knew it, Zhao Ying survived until Qiu Wei, and her body seemed to have recovered more than half, and she was even able to go to court in person.

Zhao Chongzhao was secretly happy, but he asked the imperial physician, who looked gloomy again.

The string in Zhao Chongzhao's heart was always tightly tightened.

As soon as the autumn is over, some people are happy and some are worried.

Qiuwei is the provincial examination, and the scholars will rush to the provincial capital to take the examination, while the scholars in the capital will take the examination in Taixue.Xie Ze'an came from Baichuan Academy, so naturally he took the imperial examination together with the scholars in the capital.

After Xie Ze'an finished the exam, he concentrated on playing with his younger siblings at home, and occasionally accompanied Princess Yan Ning into the palace to see Zhao Ying or visit Mr. Ye Weng. His life seemed to be leisurely and comfortable.

Those who had candidates from other families went to the place where the results were released in advance to wait, but there was no movement in Xie's residence.Xie Hui and his wife were still in the west, and Xie Jiyu went to the gunpowder workshop to stay for half a month. The family was either old or small, and it was not suitable for going out and crowding with people.

The influence of the chief examiner in the rural examination is not as good as that of the general examination. Xie Ze'an is not worried that he will not pass, all he needs to guess is the ranking.

Xie Ze'an naturally wanted to be among the best, but these days he has communicated with other scholars a lot, and he will never be arrogant, thinking that he is the only one with the most ability in the world.

Xie Xiaomei was very concerned about this matter, and she waited at the gate with a bench early on the day when the rankings were announced.

As the sun rose, a fast horse came running from the west side of the city.

The person immediately turned over and fell to the ground, and said with a happy face: "Announcement! Announcement!"
