Zhuo Qihua

The guards ran all the way to the gate of Huayang Palace, attracting a lot of attention.The guard was very nervous, and an eunuch from Huayang Palace came out: "What's the matter, guard?"

Guard: "The villain wants to see the imperial concubine."

The eunuch sneered: "Is this your first day on duty in the palace? Don't you know the rules of the palace?"

The guard's face flushed red, and he said tongue-tiedly, "Yes, it's Lin Nei Du Tong, Lin Nei Du Tong sent the villain here!"

Linnei Dutong?

The eunuch was stunned.

At this time, the father-in-law of Huayang Palace came over.Asking the eunuch to step down, he asked, "The governor of the forest? Where is he?"

Seeing this person's gentle attitude, the guard let go of his nervousness and said: "Lin Nei is in command outside the Chonghui Gate, and there is also Commander Liu, the palace guard who goes along with you." With a face, he couldn't recognize it.

Hearing that there are still people around Shunji, the general manager didn't dare to be careless, and said: "You come with us."

The guard breathed a sigh of relief and followed inside.

The manager's father-in-law brought the guards to Huang Guixie.The guard was in trouble again.Huang Guixie looked at the face-to-face guard and asked, "What is the reason why Lin Neidu asked you to come to find me?"

The guard blushed and said, "Lin Nei ordered the little one to talk to you alone."

"Presumptuous!" Even the father-in-law couldn't calm down.

The guard was about to cry, and he knelt down: "Cuchu, Lin Nei Dutong and Commander Liu asked the younger one to come to see him, so he can only tell him and not spread it to outsiders. You can send someone to check outside Chonghui Gate."

Huang Guixie thumped in his heart: "Which Commander Liu!"

Guard: "Shun Commander Liu in the palace."

Huanggui stood up abruptly, it's only been a few days, did he come back? !

"Only two of them?!"

Guard: "There is another person, his face is covered, the little one can't recognize who it is."

The royal concubine's face turned pale, did she really come back? !

"You all go out!"

Huang Guixie drove out all the palace people in the house without saying a word, and asked the guards to stand up.There was no one else, the guard quickly took out the gold bracelet from his pocket.Seeing this, Huang Guixie rushed over, her eyes widened, this is Shunxi's bracelet!

The guard: "Report to Zuo, in fact, this person wants the younger one to come. This person wants to see the younger one alone, and ask him to send someone to pick him up in a sedan chair. Keep quiet. The younger one is very tired when he sees this person. After getting off the horse, they sat on the ground. Lin Nei Dutong and Liu Tongling also looked weathered."

Huang Guixie's heart trembled again and again, she really came back!He shouted: "Come on!"

According to the decree of the imperial concubine Xie Yi, people from all the palaces should stay away in the palace and are not allowed to go out. Those who violate the order will be held accountable.The queen mother was surprised: "What happened?" However, the imperial concubine's edict especially avoided Xiangfu Palace, whose gate was closed every day.

Zhuo Ji leaned on Liu Haoyue's shoulder, bit by bit.The capital is peaceful and the palace is peaceful. His Majesty's illness should not be serious.After guessing like this, Zhuo Ji couldn't hold on anymore.It wasn't that he didn't want to see Emperor Yong'an right away, but that with his current appearance and state, going to see Emperor Yong'an would actually make that person angry and worried, and he himself didn't want to see Emperor Yong'an in such a state.

A group of palace people carried a small sedan chair, led by Huaiqing, the personal eunuch of the imperial concubine, to the Chonghui Gate in a hurry.As soon as he came out, he saw three people slumped on the ground.Lin Yi reluctantly got up from the ground, and together with Liu Haoyue helped the person who couldn't stand up.Huaiqing didn't say anything, opened the sedan chair curtain, Zhuo Ji walked over with difficulty and got into the sedan chair.

Lin Yi lowered his voice and said to Huai Qing: "Send it directly to the imperial concubine's place, don't delay on the way."

Huaiqing nodded, without making a sound, he raised his hand as a signal.The eunuch who carried the sedan chair quietly lifted the sedan chair and left quietly.Watching the sedan chair enter Chonghui Gate, Lin Yi and Liu Haoyue let out a long breath, they climbed onto the horse with great effort, turned the horse's head around, and went out of the palace to go home.

There were not many people in the huge Huayang Palace, it was empty.The sedan chair was carried into Huayang Palace, and directly carried outside the door of the imperial concubine's bedroom.The noble concubine came out from inside, the car curtain was lifted, and Huaiqing helped the people inside to come out slowly.Seeing the other party walking like an old woman, Empress Huang almost shed tears.He hurried over to help the other party, and said, "Put the person in!"

Huaiqing squatted down immediately, Zhuo Ji didn't care about losing face, and climbed on Huaiqing's back, Huaiqing carried him into the house.Huang Guixie directly asked Huaiqing to put him on the bed, and then quickly said: "Get ready to eat and take a bath immediately."

Huaiqing and Ziyuan went out to order, Zhuo Ji took off the veil, under the veil was a thin and tired face, lips were chapped and bleeding.Huang Guixie couldn't hold back the tears, sat down and held Zhuo Ji's cold hand and choked up and said, "Your Majesty feels so distressed seeing you like this!"

Zhuo Ji smiled: "Your Majesty, what's the matter?"

Wiping away her tears, Huang Guixie said, "The fever subsides, but I'm just lethargic, dizzy and tired, and coughing continuously. Hu Pengju said it's a heart disease, and he can be treated with heart medicine."

Zhuo Ji nodded.He was too tired and hungry to talk much.

Food came quickly.When Huaiqing and Ziyuan came in, they found that the person who came was Shunxiu, their hands trembled.By the way, why did you come back from outside the palace!Still looking so tired and embarrassed!

The two of them only dared to be puzzled in their hearts, they quickly placed the food and went out.Zhuo Ji propped himself up, walked to the table and sat down with the help of Mrs. Huang, washed his hands, wiped his face, and then picked up the chopsticks.A table of five dishes is relatively simple. After all, it is not a meal time at this time. This is because the imperial concubine has a small kitchen, so he can get five dishes for him so quickly.

Huang Guixie personally took care of Zhuo Ji for dinner.Zhuo Ji poured half a pot of tea first, and then devoured it hungrily.Huang Guixie turned her head and wiped away tears while serving him some food.While they were enjoying happiness in the palace, this man was running around, serving the country and the people, and caring about His Majesty.At this moment, Huang Guixie only felt that she was useless.

With a full stomach, Zhuo Ji wanted to climb onto the bed and fall asleep immediately, but he couldn't!He drank a few cups of strong tea, and was supported by the concubine to the bathroom, where he took a good bath.Huang Guixie didn't let others come over the whole time, he personally waited for Zhuo Ji to take a bath.Seeing Zhuo Ji's fleshless body, Huang Guixie wept again.At this moment, he realized very clearly why His Majesty did not appoint this person as queen, and why this person was not greedy for his status in the palace.With this person's ability and ability, it would be an insult to him to compete with the concubines and servants in the harem.No wonder, His Majesty was so angry with Yelu Buyan's words.

Feeling refreshed, Zhuo Ji tried hard to open his eyes, and said hoarsely, "Brother Yao, find me the eunuch's clothes."

"it is good."

After Huang Guixie went out, Zhuo Ji climbed out of the bathtub and wiped it with a cloth towel. His movements were slow, as if all the bones in his body were rusted.

The imperial concubine came back quickly, took a set of eunuch's clothes and a clean inner garment, and said, "This inner garment belongs to me, I haven't worn it yet."

Then he helped Zhuo Ji get dressed.Zhuo Ji's hair was wet, and Huang Guixie wiped it for him again.Zhuo Ji said: "It's better to tie it into a bun and find me a hat."

"it is good."

The royal concubine helped Zhuo Ji go out, and found him a eunuch's hat to put on.He has a tired face and is very thin. If you don't pay attention, you can't tell that he is the most honorable servant of Xiangfu Palace.

After tidying up, Zhuo Ji: "I'm going."

Royal lady: "I'll take you there."

"No need. I'll go back by myself. After eating and resting for a while, I have strength."

"……All right."

Huangguixie sent Zhuo Ji outside the door, and Zhuoji dressed as an eunuch, like the eunuch sent by Huangguixie, slowly walked out of Huayang Palace and headed for Xiangfu Palace.

Zhuo Ji discovered for the first time that Huayang Palace is so far away from Xiangfu Palace.Stopping and stopping, like an old cow pulling a cart, Zhuo Ji reached the Xiangfu Palace site, but was stopped by the forbidden army.

Zhuo Ji: "By the order of the emperor's noble concubine, please tell Maid Xiaohui if you have something to do."

"You wait."

The imperial guards walked to the gate of Xiangfu Palace, knocked on the door, and the door opened.The guards said that the eunuch in the royal concubine's palace was looking for Xiaohui.Zhuo Ji recognized Xiao Linzi who opened the door.Xiao Linzi closed the palace gate, waited for a while, the palace gate opened again, and Xiaohui came out from inside.Following the guard's hand, Xiaohui saw the "eunuch" in the royal concubine's palace.With just one glance, Xiaohui was stunned, and then ran over with surprise and excitement on her face, just about to shout, but swallowed hastily.

Zhuo Ji: "Your Royal Highness has something to explain."

The master is so thin that he is out of shape, and his voice is still so hoarse, no need to ask, he knows that he has rushed all the way back.Xiaohui held back her tears: "Come with me."

Zhuo Ji walked over slowly, Xiaohui reached out to help, but Zhuo Ji pushed her away calmly.It is better not to publicize the fact that he was not in the palace during this period of time.

Xiaohui followed behind slowly, and the imperial guards outside Xiangfu Palace were very confused.After entering the Xiangfu Palace, the gate of the palace was closed, and Xiaohui supported her master with tears streaming down her face.The other palace people in Xiangfu Palace all looked over, and then they all ran over with a startled expression: "Master!"

Zhuo Ji: "Carry me into the house, I can't walk anymore, don't tell Your Majesty that I'm back."

Xiao Linzi squatted down in front of his master, and Zhuo Ji climbed up.

Inside the house, Zhang Xian waited on Wan Sui who had just fallen asleep, and Wan Sui, who was asleep, was still coughing uncontrollably. Zhang Xian wiped the corners of his eyes.Outside the door, Feng Xi was guarding.Ever since His Majesty fell ill, Zhang Xian and Feng Xi had been looking forward to her quick return, but worried that she would rush back regardless of her health.

Feng Xi was thinking wildly, when he heard footsteps, he raised his head.Seeing Xiao Linzi coming with a person on his back, Xiaohui, Wang Bao, Aunt Hua and other Xiangfu Palace palace servants were nervously protecting that person, Feng Xi hurriedly stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "This is... "

The person on Xiao Linzi's back raised his head and smiled at Feng Xi: "Feng Xi."

What's the matter... The rest of Feng Xi's words automatically disappeared from his mouth. He stared blankly at the person who had changed greatly from his memory, and after a while, tears burst out.

"Chu!"

Feng Xi's shout was silenced by Xiaohui in time.Xiao Linzi put the master down, and Zhuo Ji was supported by Xiao Hui and Wang Bao to stand firm, then whispered: "Bring me my pajamas and the bell."

Everyone understood what the master meant, so Xiaohui and Aunt Hua went to get the clothes.Wang Bao took off his master's hat and whispered: "Master, why is your hair wet!"

"I took a bath at Huang Guixie's place."

Everyone moves.Wang Bao untied his master's bun, and Xiao Linzi went to the next room to bring a large cloth towel.Xiaohui and Aunt Hua brought the clothes.Zhuo Ji opened his arms, Feng Xi and Xiaohui undressed and changed her clothes, and Xiaohui put an anklet with a bell on her and slippers for her.Zhuo Ji's hair was wet, and Xiao Linzi didn't tie it up after he wiped it half dry.

After changing his clothes, he asked Xiaohui to apply some lip balm on him, making his lips look less ugly, Zhuo Ji pushed open the bedroom door.Feng Xi helped him close the door, and everyone was wiping away tears.

Zhang Xian in the inner room vaguely heard the sound of the bell, how could there be the sound of the bell?Ears pricked up, it seemed that there was really a bell, Zhang Xian glanced at His Majesty on the bed, and walked out lightly.As soon as I got to the door, the door was pushed open!Zhang Xian was startled immediately, but when the person outside the door appeared, he was completely dumbfounded.

"Chu!"

Zhang Xian's exclamation was quickly covered by Zhuo Ji's hands.

Zhang Xian burst into tears of excitement, and he could also see that Zuo must have traveled all the way back, and that Zuo had lost weight, a lot.Making a silent gesture to Zhang Xian, Zhuo Ji let go and walked into the room.There were several coughing sounds on the bed, Zhuo Ji walked slowly towards the bed, the crisp bell did not wake up the person on the bed, but Zhang Xian couldn't hold back his tears.

Zhuo Ji walked to the bed and looked at the man who had also lost a lot of weight on the bed, feeling a dull pain in a certain corner of his heart.He kicked off his slippers, lay down beside the man, hugged him, and closed his eyes.

The moment his body was hugged, Emperor Yong'an suddenly woke up.Realizing that there was indeed someone beside him, Emperor Yong'an subconsciously wanted to push him away, but was stopped by one person in time.

"Long live! You are back!"

Zhang Xian couldn't hold back his excited shout anymore.

Emperor Yong'an suspected that he had auditory hallucinations, and looked down, the one holding him beside him was not moving, was it his Shunxi?His paternity? !Feng Xi came in from the outside at this time, wiping away tears: "Your Majesty! Chu Chu is back! Huai Qing, who is next to the imperial concubine, came to send a message, saying that both Chu Chu and Lin Nei were in command, and Commander Liu came back from Guangnan on a fast horse. He was so tired that he couldn't walk outside the Chonghui Gate, so he asked His Royal Highness to send someone to carry the sedan chair back. He just entered Xiangfu Palace, and Xiao Linzi carried it all the way in!"

Seeing Ai Shi who was sleeping unresponsively and completely unaffected by Feng Xi's words, Emperor Yong'an's heart twisted together.He sat up, touched Zhuo Ji's sunken cheek, and didn't care whether he was dizzy anymore, and hurriedly said: "Send Hu Pengju immediately! Go back to Fengtian Palace! Take Shunyu back to Fengtian Palace! Come and change my clothes!"

Zhuo Ji really fell asleep in a second.Lying down and hugging Emperor Yong'an, his consciousness fell into darkness.Emperor Yong'an wrapped him in a cloak, and Wu Qi carried him all the way out of Xiangfu Palace.Zhuo Ji didn't know the whole process from Emperor Yong'an carrying him to Fengtian Hall while sitting on his shoulders, and then being put on the dragon bed by Emperor Yong'an.

When the news came out that the emperor had gone to Fengtian Temple with the "sick" Shunzuo in his arms, the queen mother was stunned.Huang Guixie went to Shoukang Palace in person, and then the two hurried to Fengtian Palace together.De Guixie was startled, could it be that Zhuo Ji was really ill? !

After Emperor Yong'an fell ill, he lived in Xiangfu Palace and did not allow concubines to visit him.Now His Majesty suddenly took Zhuo Ji to Fengtian Hall, after deguixie and concubine Xigui thought about it, they still decided to go to Fengtian Hall.

Hu Pengju lives in the palace and is always on call.Being summoned here, Hu Pengju was also terrified, and he came back in a short time!Hu Pengju immediately went to Fengtian Hall.And in the previous dynasty, because Yi Lin and Liu Haoyue returned to Beijing suddenly, the hearts of several ministers in the cabinet skipped a few beats collectively. Lin Yi and Liu Haoyue came back, so what about Zuo?

Lin Xieshan returned home immediately, but what he got was the news that his son had fallen asleep on the bed.After returning to the mansion, Yi Lin snorted and ate a full meal, drank a pot of tea, climbed into bed without changing his clothes, and fell asleep.It was Mrs. Lin and the servant who took off his shoes, clothes, and wiped his face and feet together. During this process, Lin Yi didn't respond at all.

Lin Xieshan saw his son who was unconscious, so he didn't wake him up for questioning.But Lin Xieshan didn't need to ask anymore, it was obvious that Chu Chu must have returned, and he had rushed all the way back non-stop.

But Liu Haoyue didn't go back to Liu's house, but went to Chang'an Marquis Mansion, he didn't want to face interrogation from his family.Qin Zhongyi's wife personally arranged for him to eat, take a bath, and sleep.

In the emperor's bedroom in Fengtian Temple, Emperor Yong'an covered his mouth and coughed twice from time to time.The Empress Dowager, Huangguixie, Deguixie and Xiguifei silently wiped away their tears.On the dragon bed, Zhuo Ji fell unconscious.Hu Pengju carefully took the pulse and checked the scorpion, then withdrew his hand and said, "The scorpion is too tired, let the scorpion have a good rest."

The queen mother felt guilty: "I shouldn't have sent someone to Guangnan to tell him."

Guangnan? !

The heartbeats of Deguixie and Xiguifei missed two beats.The two suddenly understood the real reason for Zhuo Ji's sudden illness. He had gone to Guangnan and was not in the palace at all!

The royal consolation said: "Empress Dowager, if you don't tell me, the news of His Majesty's poor health will spread to Guangnan. If so, Shunxi will only be more anxious. You can see that he slept so deeply because he knew about His Majesty's health. There is nothing serious about his body, so he can sleep with peace of mind. Let him sleep well."

Emperor Yong'an also said: "He didn't sleep well in Guangnan, and he had nightmares every day. It's good to come back. He's just tired, so he can sleep for a few more days."

When the Queen Mother heard this, she hurriedly said: "When Lin Yi and Liu Haoyue can enter the palace, the emperor, please send someone to tell me. I want to know about Shunyu's situation in Guangnan."

"it is good."

Zhuo Ji fell asleep, Emperor Yong'an disobeyed, and the Queen Mother and others left.The Empress Dowager did not let Huang Guixie and the others see her off, so the Empress Dowager only took Shen Gu back to Shoukang Palace, while Deguixie and Concubine Xi went to Huayang Palace together.The queen mother and others left, but Hu Pengju left a prescription and left.Emperor Yong'an asked Zhang Xian to come over with a charcoal brazier, moved Zhuo Ji to the bedside, and dried his hair first.Then Emperor Yong'an took off his coat and went to bed, hugged Ai Shi, only feeling exhausted.Zhang Xian put down the bed curtain with a smile on his lips.Although he was very tired, he finally came back.
