"Elder-in-law" migraine

Chapter 55

Ren Zhi was stunned for a moment, dropped the dagger in his hand, and walked in front of the little eunuch, "It's only been a day, why did you get sick so well? Have you seen the imperial doctor, what do you say?"

The little eunuch hurriedly replied, "Not long after you and Your Majesty left, Her Majesty the Princess had a fever, probably because she caught a cold when she went to the Imperial Garden the day before, and she immediately invited the imperial doctor over, saying that she had contracted a cold and had already prescribed medicine. , the heat has receded a bit, but Her Royal Highness probably felt a little uncomfortable, she kept crying and her voice became hoarse from crying. The nurse said it was probably because you were not around, so she ordered the villain to report."

Ren Zhi's eyes were full of worry, he looked back at Duan Yixian, and said helplessly, "I have to go back to Beijing first."

Duan Yixian sighed, "Go back, otherwise you will be restless if you stay here."

Duan Bingzheng dropped the job in his hand, and ran to Ren Zhi, "Uncle Huang, I want to go back to Beijing with you to see Sister Qingya."

Ren Zhi lowered his head and glanced at Duan Bingzheng, then raised his head to look at Duan Yixian, Duan Yixian bent down and hugged Duan Bingzheng, and said, "Zhier stay here with Father, your little uncle is going back at night, take you It's too inconvenient, and I have to be distracted to take care of you."

Duan Bingzheng looked at Ren Yi for a while, then nodded, "Okay, I will obediently stay here with Father."

Ren Zhi stretched out his hand and touched Duan Bingzheng's face, "Zhi'er will help the little emperor take good care of your father, watch him eat on time, and drink less during banquets." Ren Zhi said halfway, paused, and looked up Looking at Duan Yixian, he lowered his head and whispered in Duan Bingzheng's ear, "If your father has to drink a lot of wine, you can quietly replace his wine with plain water, can you do it?"

Duan Bingzheng nodded seriously, "Okay, Zhi'er will definitely be able to do it."

Ren Zhi kissed him on the small face in satisfaction, turned around and the waiter had already brought over the outer robe, and waited for Ren Zhi to put it on, Duan Yixian put on the cloak for Ren Zhi with his own hands, and kissed him on the lips as if no one else was there, "The imperial doctor will be there for everything, you just need to rest assured. After you go back, you should rest well, and I will order Xiao Ping to keep an eye on you."

Ren Zhi nodded with a smile, "Understood, Your Majesty, I will obey the imperial decree."

Duan Yixian sent Ren Zhi out of the tent all the way, and saw him turn over on Wuzhi, the wind of autumn night blowing his cloak, Ren Zhi nodded to Duan Yixian on the horse, turned the horse's head, and walked towards him without looking back. Go to the capital.

From the paddock to Beijing, it takes two or three hours without sleep.Wuzhi let go of his horseshoes and ran towards the capital, and finally arrived at the inner city when it was dawn. The generals guarding the city were surprised to see Ren Zhidu, but because of Duan Yixian's previous instructions, he let him go without any doubts. into the palace.

Tie Wu Zhi up and run all the way to the Funing Hall. Ren Zhi is extremely physically strong and exhausted from working all the way. Just as he stepped into the door of the Funing Hall, he heard Ren Ping's cry from a distance. He rushed into the side hall in three steps at a time, ignored the servants who were saluting along the way, untied the cloak casually, handed it to Xiao Ping who greeted him, then came to Ren Ping, and took her from the wet nurse Come here and hold her in your arms.

Ren Ping seemed to feel Ren Zhi's breath, and the crying gradually stopped. He looked at Ren Zhi with his big eyes full of water, and stretched out a finger for a while, poking Ren Zhi's face carefully, and then Suddenly he laughed.Ren Zhi heaved a sigh of relief, and put his forehead against Ren Ping's forehead, and felt relieved when he didn't feel hot anymore.

The nurse who had been serving her carefully at the side finally breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled at Ren Zhi, "It seems that Her Royal Highness really cannot do without the prince. Not long after the prince left, she has been crying as long as she is awake. We think I tried my best, but I couldn't coax the princess well, I didn't expect that when I got into the arms of the prince, I immediately laughed."

Ren Zhi bent his lips, and pressed his face against Ren Ping's. Ren Ping felt the familiar breath, and seemed to be tired at last, and fell asleep unknowingly in Ren Zhi's arms.Ren Zhi shook Ren Ping gently in his arms, raised his head and asked the wet nurse, "Have you taken the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician on time?"

The wet nurse nodded, "The imperial doctor said that Her Highness the princess is feeling a little cold, because the princess is still young, and only prescribed some mild medicine, but after taking it, the princess seems to feel better."

Ren Zhi nodded, "It's been a hard day, you guys go down and rest too. I'll watch her at night, and Xiao Ping will stay with me."

A group of people bowed and retreated, Ren Zhi, accompanied by Xiao Ping, returned to the main hall with Ren Ping in his arms.The heater was already prepared in the main hall to make the hall warm, Ren Zhi put Ren Ping on the dragon couch, covered the quilt, turned around and Xiao Ping had prepared warm water, and helped Ren Zhi take off his outer robe He changed into his underwear, wiped his face and hands with a soft cloth soaked in water, and lay down on the couch.

Ren Zhi was lying on the couch, with the sound of Ren Ping's shallow breathing next to his ears, he opened his eyes and looked at the top of the bed, and suddenly realized that without Duan Yixian, this dragon couch was really big.Rao had a heater in the house, but Ren Zhi still felt a bit of coolness, probably because he was not used to that person's absence. This was the first time that he slept on this bed without that person.

Xiao Ping pulled down the bed curtain for Ren Zhi, lit a faint soothing incense, Ren Zhi slowly closed his eyes, and fell asleep unknowingly.

For the next two days, Ren Zhi stayed in the hall, almost inseparable from Ren Ping.Ren Ping was probably still ill, and was very clinging to Ren Zhi, whenever Ren Yi left his eyes, he would cry and make noises, and he had to hold Ren Zhi to survive, after two days in a row, Ren Zhi only felt exhausted.While lying on the couch, he couldn't help thinking that the man would be returning to the palace tomorrow, and Ren Ping's illness should be almost cured, so he fell asleep before he had time to think about it.

Ren Zhi was woken up, he opened his eyes in a daze, first turned his head and glanced at Ren Ping beside him, he was still asleep, with his fingers in his mouth, his sleeping appearance was extraordinarily sweet.Ren Zhi reached out and touched her forehead, feeling that she had returned to normal, covered her with a quilt, opened the bed curtain and got out of bed.

Xiao Ping was no longer in the hall, the noise came from outside the window, Ren Zhi frowned, took the robe from the side, put it on his shoulders, pushed open the door of the hall, and saw Xiao Ping standing in the courtyard, standing in front of him Looking at a few familiar servants, Xiao Ping seemed to be arguing with them.

The autumn wind hit his face, Ren Zhi felt a bit of coolness, pulled the outer robe on his shoulders upwards, and said displeasedly, "Xiao Ping, Ping'er is still sleeping, who came to Funing Hall to make noise?"

Xiao Ping bowed slightly towards Ren Zhi, with some hesitation on his face, "My lord, they are from the Ye Ting Bureau."

Ren Zhi raised his eyebrows, "Your Majesty is not in the palace now, why do you have to make trouble now?"

Xiao Ping was a little hesitant, an servant behind him glanced at him, and said, "My lord, your Majesty has fortunately encountered a few female officials during the hunt, and I will handle it with you. We have already reported to the empress, your majesty Said that it should be named Baolin first, and ordered me to make the arrangements. I thought that the harem has been vacant, so I might as well place it directly in the side hall of His Majesty, so as to serve His Majesty more conveniently. But Director Xiao said that His Majesty is not here, so he can't make the decision."

Ren Zhi smiled but said, "Your Majesty is lucky enough to be a female officer?"

The servant often stayed in the Ye Ting Bureau and didn't move around the palace very much. He didn't know much about the relationship between Ren Zhi and Duan Yixian. The caring ministers specially presented a few female officials for His Majesty, after all, the harem has been empty and the number of heirs is thin, which is not good for our court."

Xiao Ping carefully looked at Ren Zhi's face, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, what we think is going on with this matter will only be known when His Majesty returns. After all, you know His Majesty better."

Those servants had obviously reaped the benefits, and promised to send some female officials to Duan Yixian's side. Xiao Ping was already very displeased with such a sabotage, so he paused before saying, "If that's the case, we'll wait for you." I don’t dare to make decisions, and I can only temporarily leave the female officials in the Funing Palace, and wait for His Majesty to return to the palace before making decisions.”

Ren Zhi raised his eyebrows, "Stay in Funing Palace? The side hall of Funing Palace is now Princess Shaohua's bedroom. Do you want the princess to move out, or let them sleep in His Majesty's bedroom? Funing Palace When will it be the turn of the people from the Yeting Bureau to decide the matter?"

The servant paused for a moment before opening his mouth and said, "Your Majesty, I secretly thought that this matter is His Majesty's private matter after all, you are a foreign minister..."

Ren Zhi sneered, "Whether I am a foreign minister or not is up to you to decide? Whether I can be the master of Funing Palace or not, the people in the palace know better than you. Now I will order that outsiders are forbidden to enter Funing Palace. If you have any dissatisfaction, just wait for His Majesty to come back." After speaking, Ren Yi waved, "Xiao Ping, take them out, if this father-in-law still insists on being the master, help me Let the guards come over."

Xiao Ping bowed to Ren Zhi, turned his head and told the two young eunuchs beside Hou, "Send it away. Outsiders are forbidden to enter Funing Hall from now on."

The little eunuch stepped forward and expelled several people from Funing Hall, Ren Zhi stood at the door and watched them go away, then turned his head and entered the hall, Xiao Ping hurriedly stepped forward to follow behind him, and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty welcomes you!" It’s clearest. There are some things that I, a servant, can’t interrupt, but I still want to say a few words to His Majesty. Our family is not clear about what happened between you and Your Majesty, but since His Majesty took the throne, our family has been by his side all the time. , the harem is empty, and the number of heirs is thin, which is visible to outsiders. In the past three years, except for the occasional time when you were not in the palace, your majesty slept directly in the imperial study room, and most of them slept peacefully in the Funing Hall. You have never been to the Yuan Palace, so how can you be lucky with some female official?"

Ren Zhi sighed, "He doesn't want to, but it doesn't mean that his subordinates don't want to. Someone has already set his sights on the position next to him, and when there is a suitable opportunity, he will definitely try to put people in. I was worried, I have been prepared, but now that it really happened, I just feel helpless. After all, he is an emperor, and I ask him to be alone like me, after all, it is too reluctant."

Xiao Ping was silent, from his point of view, after all, he didn't dare to say too much, he could only hope that Duan Yixian would return to the palace earlier, when all this came to light, Duan Yixian would naturally have a way to solve Ren Zhi's knot.He said so many mistakes now, so he could only be cautiously by Ren Zhi's side.

Ren Ping didn't know when he woke up, and was sitting on the bed looking around with his big eyes open. As long as Ren Zhiwan stepped in, he would probably have started crawling around.Ren Zhi bent down and picked her up, kissed her small face, turned around and said, "Xiao Ping, prepare warm water to wash Ping'er's face, I will take her out of the palace in a while."

Xiao Ping turned his head to tell the little eunuch beside him, and then said, "My lord, don't you wait for His Majesty to come back?"

Ren Zhi glanced at him and shook his head, "Out of sight, out of mind. Whether it's true or not, I don't want to see it. I don't know how to face him if it's true, and I don't know what I should do." Don't blame him. Simply go out of the palace to avoid it, and when he solves everything, I will come back."

Xiao Ping nodded, took the basin from the young eunuch, twisted the soft cloth and handed it to Ren Zhi, Ren Zhi gently wiped Ren Ping's face, wrapped her tightly, carried her out of the palace gate, and went straight to the palace .
