Five-year enthronement three-year simulation

The farce that happened in the Tianhong Palace was covered up by the heavy rain and thunder that day, and was not known to any irrelevant people.

The convict woman, Mrs. Xu, had already been executed, and her body should have been rolled up on a straw mat and thrown into a mass grave, but Mingtan hesitated for a long time, and ordered someone to bury her—after all, she was the lord of the first palace and the concubine of the third princess. However, the crimes committed by the Xu family are naturally not humane. It can only be said that he died of a sudden illness. He was buried in the desolate and remote Xishan mausoleum according to the rules of the imperial concubine.

Ming Tan thinks that there are clear grievances and grievances, no matter what Xu's intentions are, she has helped him many times after all, and she deserves this last respect.

And on the day after the Tianhong Palace was completed, Ming Yu, who was temporarily placed in the Princess's Mansion by Ming Tan, returned to the palace, and had a good cry with Jing Gui, who had escaped from death, and thanked Ming Tan repeatedly. We are all glad that this matter ended smoothly.

As for noble lady Jing, she really deserves her life: her act of sending Ming Wei out of the palace to report the news was discovered, and when she was about to be poisoned by the servants of Yide Palace, it happened that someone broke into this place and failed to find Concubine Ying. Ming Tan and Lin Shurong took advantage of the situation to save the former.

Although she had been aware of Concubine Ying's plot before and did not report it, but fortunately she repented, and Ming Tan did not get entangled in it.After all, there are more important things waiting for her to attend to——

Two days later, Ming Jing entered the palace and brought back the antidote for "wobbly teeth".

The Tai Hospital was so busy up and down that their feet didn't touch the ground, and Guo Yuanping couldn't help shaking his arms. He took the small porcelain bottle from Ming Jing's hand, took out the dark red pill in it, and cut off a thin slice, which is another identification ingredient. Another person tried the medicine, and after working for a long time, he finally presented the antidote back to Ming Tan, and affirmed: "This medicine is very good, and it can detoxify and nourish the body; after your majesty takes it, within a day, it will be fixed." Will wake up again!"

Ming Tan was overjoyed and didn't dare to delay, so he rushed directly to the Tianhong Hall, and asked Sheng An to serve the emperor to take the antidote, while he sat outside the hall all night without even closing his eyes, until Dongfang gradually brightened. .

——It's already this hour, why hasn't father woke up yet?Could it be that the poisoning is too deep, and the antidote is useless...

The longer the waiting time, the more chaotic his thoughts became. Just when Ming Tan was about to be overwhelmed by anxiety, Sheng An finally stepped out of the bedroom with a happy expression on his face:

"His Royal Highness! Your Majesty is awake!"

Ming Tan was shaken all over, almost jumped up from the chair, and rushed to Sheng An's back - but in just a few breaths, she broke into the bedroom, and she saw him reclining on the couch at a glance. , The emperor with a weak complexion paused for a moment, and an uncontrollable sadness appeared in his heart.

"Father..."

The emperor had just woken up, and his memory still remained at the Burning Brilliance Banquet many days ago, so he seemed a little confused.Holding a teacup filled with warm water, he raised his eyes when he heard the sound, and was caught off guard by the tears welling up in his daughter's eyes, and the cup in his hand was almost frightened on the spot!

"Dragon scale?!"

The emperor panicked, and immediately couldn't think about why he was not in the peach blossom forest but in the bedroom. He hurriedly wanted to get out of bed, but unexpectedly found that his whole body was weak and unable to move, so he could only comfort him anxiously. : "Don't cry, don't cry, what's the matter? Who made my precious dragon scale angry?"

He felt distressed and frightened at the same time, and he didn't know what he had imagined at this moment, and immediately slapped his thigh hard with the hand that was not holding the tea cup, "Okay! I just want you to live alone in the house After a few days, some people have the audacity to disrespect the princess, see I don't want her head!"

There were so many concubines at the Zhuohua Banquet, jealousy and jealousy were unavoidable, not to mention forming a clique to criticize; even though Longlin was a concubine in the middle palace and had a noble status, it was inevitable that there would always be a few idiots who couldn't figure it out, and made her angry for no reason... …

——At this moment, the emperor who loves his daughter deeply has long forgotten: in this palace, only Ming Tan has always been the one to bully others, and which concubine would be so short-sighted and dare to touch the ninth princess? Bad luck?

However, although he ignored his daughter's bad temper for a while, Mingtan knew it all too well, and couldn't help laughing at the emperor's guess. He hurried forward a few steps, helped her stabilize, and said with red eyes: " Father calm down, Long Lin has never been bullied by anyone, but... but..."

"But what?" The emperor was still angry, and while placing the teacup heavily on the bedside, he patted the back of Mingtan's hand encouragingly, "Don't worry, Longlin, no matter who it is, Father will ask for a cup for you." justice!"

"...No, father. No one bullied Longlin." Ming Tan was a little bit dumbfounded, but he was more grateful and moved in his heart.She pursed her lips and smiled, wiped away her tears with her sleeve, held the emperor's hand instead, and recounted to him exactly what happened at the Burning Flower Banquet, and how she went to Baicao Valley to seek medicine and revealed the truth about Mingjing's leg disease, And a series of events in which the culprit Concubine Ying was shot and killed on the spot.

After Ming Tan finished speaking, the emperor couldn't help but fell into a long silence, raised his hand and rubbed his forehead - this was just a habitual action, the toxicity of shaking his teeth had long since disappeared - sighed and said: "I really didn't expect that, maybe On the surface, he is pure and kind, but secretly he hides such a rebellious ambition..."

"Knowing people, knowing the face but not knowing the heart, isn't that the same for the Shen family in the past?" Ming Tan shook his head, not wanting to comment more on Xu Chenbi's character, and instead said cautiously, "Longlin made a presumptuous claim a few days ago and made the Xu family The pretext for his death was violent death, and he was buried in Xishan according to the ceremony of a concubine... I also ask my father to punish me!"

The emperor was slightly taken aback, sighed, patted her head, shook his head lightly and said, "Why did I punish you? Seriously, it's a family scandal and should not be publicized... Plus she is the third princess after all. Zhao'er is the biological mother of Qiang Mi, and Zhao'er is also the princess of Qiang Mi, so she must not bear such a big stain on her back. There is nothing wrong with what you did."

Hearing the emperor mentioning Ming Zhao who was far away in a foreign land, Ming Tan couldn't help lowering his eyes, bit his lips, and was speechless for a long time.

"...Xu's heart is vicious, and he has brought it upon himself to end up like this," the emperor probably saw Ming Tan's depressed mood, and said in relief, "Zhao'er understands the righteousness, and I will definitely not blame you, Longlin, don't worry. .”

Ming Tan forced a smile.

Just at this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and Sheng An's notification also came: "Your Majesty, Princess Nine, Court Judge Guo came to ask for an audience!"

"Xuan."

The conversation between the father and daughter was about to come to an end, the emperor looked at Ming Tan who got up consciously, a smile appeared on his still pale face, and said gently: "Unexpectedly, when I woke up, Longlin was already a working person. You are a thorough adult..."

Ming Tan was stunned for a moment, most of the melancholy between his brows and eyes gradually dissipated, his eyes subconsciously curled up, and he denied it in a pampered tone: "No, Long Lin must always be the jewel in the palm of the father!"

"Hahaha, no matter how old or young Long Lin is, you are my only apple of the eye!"

The emperor smiled heartily, and Guo Yuanjuan had already entered the palace to salute with the medicine box on his back, so he didn't leave Mingtan any more, just nodded to her, and said in relief: "Go, go back to Kunning Palace earlier, and send me to the palace. Tell your mother about the situation, don't make her worry."

"Well, Dragon Scale is leaving."

Ming Tan gave him a blessing, and specially asked Sheng An to take good care of his father and queen, and finally turned around and left Tianhong Palace.

The emperor, on the other hand, leaned quietly on the bedside, watching his daughter disappear outside the door. Then he suppressed his smile, coughed twice, and said in a tired and hoarse voice: "Guo Yuan judge, please diagnose my pulse." .”

"Yes!"

After receiving the order, Guo Yuan hurriedly put down the medicine box, knelt down in front of the dragon couch, put his finger on the emperor's wrist, felt the pulse carefully for a long while, subconsciously frowned, and finally put down his hand after a long time, asking: "Your Majesty, do you feel the pain in your chest?" Bored, out of spirits?"

"That's right." The emperor nodded with his eyes half closed, "Longlin said that when I was in a coma, Mrs. Xu gave me a 'Heart Biting Pill'...it must be its effect."

Sheng An didn't expect that the emperor's body was still unwell, so he was stunned for a while, and hurriedly knelt down on the ground, worried and anxious: "The slave is incompetent, in order not to make Xu's heart vigilant, so he couldn't take out the pill immediately. , Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

"Okay, get up now." The emperor didn't mean to blame Sheng An, he just waved his hand at the latter, and then seriously asked Guo Yuan again, "Is there a cure?"

"That poison. The medicine only stayed in His Majesty's mouth for a moment, and it never harmed the viscera. It will be healed naturally."

However, having said that, Guo Yuanjuan did not relax his furrowed brows, "However, Your Majesty was in a coma for a long time before, and the toxin of 'tooth shaking' has been slightly deposited, even though it has been dissolved by the antidote, there is still some remaining poison , plus that heart-eating pill...if it can’t be treated properly, I’m afraid it will damage the dragon’s body!”

His own body is clear, the emperor is obviously prepared for this answer, he is not surprised or angry, but calmly asked: "Can the Tai Hospital cure me?"

"..."

Guo Yuansan was silent for a moment, sighed, and felt that the century-old reputation of the Taiyuan Hospital would be lost by him, but he could only answer truthfully: "Whether the tooth shakes or the heart-eating pills, they all come from Qingzhou Baicao Valley— ——If your Majesty wants to eliminate the remaining poison in the body, he should go to his family to rest as soon as possible and take medicine to recuperate, so as to return to his former health."

"This rest, how long do you want to rest?"

"About... it will take several years."

Hearing this answer, the emperor suddenly fell silent.

Baicao Valley is far away in Qingzhou, far away from the capital.If it's okay for a few months, just let Ming Tan, the princess of Zhenguo, act as an agent of government affairs, but if you need to be treated for several years...

He lowered his eyes, thought carefully for a while, then raised his head suddenly, looked at the respectful Sheng An over there, and asked vaguely: "You went to the dark room on purpose, but you took out 'that thing'?"

"Yes." Sheng An was stunned, and immediately replied, "Your Majesty, don't worry, the servant has properly put it away after checking it as usual, and it is still in its original place."

"Okay, I see."

The emperor nodded lightly, and suddenly heard a chirping of birds not far away.He turned his eyes when he heard the sound, and saw a magpie standing on the edge of the window at some point, tilting its head, blinking mung bean eyes twice, looking at the emperor for a while, and then flying away again.

"..."

The bird gradually moved away from the palace and disappeared from sight, as if it also took away the invisible shackles on Ming Yi's body, making him feel light all over, his eyes brightened, and a deep smile line involuntarily rose on his lips.

"Longlin is now able to stand alone, so I have nothing to worry about."

Ming Yi turned around, and under Guo Yuanjuan's bewildered gaze, he said with a loud smile to Sheng An: "In this case, then follow what I told you and start preparing!"
