Qing Jialu

Eunuch Chen's exclamation alarmed the maids and eunuchs outside, and the Hall of Mental Cultivation became busy instantly.Eunuch Chen covered His Majesty with a blanket, Kapok wiped the cold sweat on His Majesty's forehead with a brocade handkerchief, and Hibiscus brought Mrs. Tang to gently warm His Majesty's knees.There were also a few young eunuchs who brought braziers from the inner hall and burned the fire vigorously.

Among the people coming and going, only Shen Jia was still standing there in a daze.Looking at the emperor's tightly closed eyes and frowning, he suddenly felt a pain in his heart.

No wonder His Majesty chased people away suddenly, he who has always been gentle would speak harshly to himself.It turned out that it was because he knew that he was going to get sick, and he didn't want his courtiers to know.

Obviously that person was the supreme emperor, but Shen Jia actually had a sympathy from the bottom of her heart, and suddenly felt that being an emperor was not so easy.He pretended to be innocent in front of others and propped up an impeccable shell, but in secret, he endured a lot of pain.

Shen Jia's mind was muddled, and after an unknown period of time, he saw the emperor slowly opened his eyes.

"You go." He heard the emperor say so.

"Your Majesty..." Shen Jia's expression changed, but she didn't know what to say.

The emperor closed his eyes and said tiredly, "Let's go."

Shen Jia didn't know what she was thinking, and stood still.

Standing behind His Majesty, Eunuch Chen hastily winked at Shen Jia, hinting to him: Don't ask, just go.

Shen Jia left anyway, leaving the Hall of Mental Cultivation with deep doubts and unease.He didn't know what kind of disease His Majesty had, and he didn't know why he didn't allow the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat him.

At this time, the Hall of Mental Cultivation was as warm as spring, Eunuch Chen helped His Majesty to lie down on the big bed in the inner room, Mu Jin knelt on the side of the bed and beat His Majesty's legs to relieve the pain in his knees.

"This old slave is incompetent, and he didn't stop Mr. Shen." Eunuch Chen looked guilty.

The emperor shook his head, "It's none of your business, it's because I didn't expect the menace to come this time, and let him see it."

Eunuch Chen asked hesitantly, "Master Shen...wouldn't tell the truth?"

"He's a smart man." The emperor still had confidence in Shen Jia, "Even if he knows, it's nothing."

"Your Majesty, I fell ill this time just in autumn, and it's much more serious than last year." Eunuch Chen risked his life to persuade him, "Let the imperial doctor come and take a look."

"You and I both know what the cause of the disease is, so what's the use of asking the imperial doctor to look at it again?" The emperor looked at the window of the Hall of Mental Cultivation with a gloomy gaze, "People like him, either don't do it, or do it absolutely. Save a chance?"

Eunuch Chen was so frightened that he knelt down and didn't dare to say anything more.Mu Jin's hand beating her legs paused slightly, and secretly wiped away her tears.

In the early morning of the next day, Shen Jia stood bored in front of Fengtian Hall, waiting for Eunuch Chen to come and announce the cancellation.After all, His Majesty was so unwell yesterday, so he will definitely not be able to get up and go to court today.

But who knew, the court meeting would be held as usual, and when the Holy Majesty's imperial chariot slowly approached, Shen Jia almost thought that she had misread it.

Except for Shen Jia, the other ministers entered the palace in an orderly manner without any suspicion, shouting long live three times.During the prostration process, only Shen Jia raised his head boldly and looked at the emperor on the dragon chair.

It is disrespectful to look directly at the Holy Majesty, but Shen Jia is not afraid.He was eager to know what happened to His Majesty?

Everyone prostrated themselves on the ground, no one noticed Shen Jia's actions, except the emperor.

And the emperor, by coincidence, also looked in the direction where Shen Jia was...

The two monarchs and ministers looked at each other from a distance across the sea of ​​people, and their eyes met in the air.

"Everyone is flat." The emperor still stared at Shen Jia and said to everyone.

Shen Jia stood in the court hall, listening to his colleagues' reports, but couldn't understand a single word.He only had the emperor in his eyes, and seeing that the emperor was as majestic as usual, without showing the slightest sign of illness, he didn't know if it was because he was pretending too much, or if his illness was really nothing serious.

Moreover, the emperor sat on the dragon chair and didn't move around, so he couldn't be sure what happened to His Majesty's legs.

After retreating, Shen Jia followed his colleagues to move towards the Meridian Gate, but he turned around suddenly while walking, and ran in the opposite direction.

"Why did Lord Shen run away in such a hurry?" the colleague muttered.

The other person looked at the direction Shen Jia was running to, and guessed, "Maybe there is something urgent to report."

Shen Jia had indeed gone to the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Seeing Mr. Shen's sweaty face, Eunuch Chen asked in surprise, "Master Shen, this is...?"

"Your Majesty... is there?" Shen Jia asked out of breath.

"Yes." Eunuch Chen said curiously, "Master Shen, what's the matter? Why didn't you tell the court just now?"

"I..." Shen Jia was taken aback, and said vaguely, "It's a private matter."

Eunuch Chen didn't ask any more questions, and after reporting to His Majesty, he let Shen Jia in.

Shen Jia saw His Majesty sitting on the bed reading the memorial, observed His Majesty's complexion closely, and there seemed to be nothing wrong.

"Changqing is here, what's the matter?" the emperor asked.

Shen Jia stood there in a daze, in fact, he didn't have any political affairs to talk about, so he didn't know what to say for a while.

Seeing that Shen Jia didn't answer, the emperor understood and waved his hands to let all the servants go out.For a while, the hall was silent for a while, only the brazier made a "sizzling" sound.

It was the emperor who spoke first to break the silence. He pressed his knees and said to Shen Jia: "It's nothing serious, it's just... an old problem."

"Is it in the northwest?" Shen Jia asked, "It hasn't been cured after all these years?"

"It's already considered great." The emperor looked at Shen Jia, "You also know that in the northwest, I can only sit in a wheelchair."

"Is... what disease?" Shen Jia asked.

These words were already suspected of spying on the dragon's body, but the emperor understood Shen Jia's character, so he didn't blame him, but calmly replied: "Oh, old cold legs."

A trace of surprise flashed in Shen Jia's eyes, did not expect that the emperor was only 31 years old, and would suffer from this kind of geriatric disease?

But Shen Jia couldn't guess anything at the moment, so she could only ask again: "Why doesn't Your Majesty allow the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat you?"

"It's an old problem, and it can't be cured." The emperor said calmly.

"I know a folk miracle doctor, he..."

"Okay." The emperor interrupted Shen Jia, "Are you here today just to see someone sick?"

"Ah?" Shen Jia suddenly realized something, and hastily knelt down, "Forgive me, Your Majesty, minister...isn't the minister..."

"Changqing, thank you for coming to visit me, I'm already well." The emperor gently helped him up, "Go back."

Shen Jia was sent out lightly by the emperor again, he thought about it on the way back, but he had no clue.

Is His Majesty really a cold-legged old man?But he also thought of Eunuch Chen's reaction as if he was facing a big enemy, it seemed that it was not as simple as Lao Hanleg.
