The emperor's heart alone

When Shi Junji left Xu Yunjin's room, the sky was already bright, and the sun was scorching the earth, adding a little anxiety to the restless people.There was no one in the yard, not even Qingpei who was supposed to be guarding the door. Shi Junji knew the reason why Qingpei didn't want to appear here, and he didn't care too much. He knew that Qingpei would be gone after he left. will appear.

When Shi Junji returned to the palace, it was almost noon.When he left the palace last night, neither Zhang Dequan nor Xu Sa followed him, but they knew Shi Junji's whereabouts.When it was getting closer to the morning court, Shi Junji never showed up, and both of them panicked.After all, Zhang Dequan had experienced many things, and he was not too flustered. He just wanted to send someone to secretly look for Shi Junji, but he got the news from the person who followed Shi Junji first.

Zhang Dequan and Xu Sa looked at each other, the emperor delayed the early court, but since he was in power, who didn't know that the current emperor is diligent?Now that she suddenly didn't appear in the morning court, it would make everyone suspicious.Zhang Dequan thought for a while, and asked someone to invite Di Shuangjie, the imperial doctor, to come. He only said that the emperor's dragon body was slightly ill, and didn't reveal anything else. The memorial to the ministers was received, and later some ministers came to ask the emperor what happened, Zhang Dequan dismissed them one by one, without revealing the news that Shi Junji was not in the palace at all.

Fortunately, all the people in Changping Palace are Shi Junji's confidantes, and they are not afraid that someone will reveal the fact that Shi Junji did not return overnight, but the news that the emperor invited Di Shuangjie after he did not go to court soon spread. Come.

When Shi Junji returned to Changping Palace, Zhang Dequan was in a hurry. Someone had come from the Empress Dowager's Yonghua Palace to inform him that the Empress Dowager would come to visit the emperor in a while. Seeing Shi Junji, Zhang Dequan finally breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward. He explained what happened this morning, and finally said: "Doctor Di has been waiting for the emperor in the palace." Zhang Dequan knew that Di Shuangjie was Shi Junji's confidant, so he went to invite him.

Zhang Dequan followed Shi Junji who was walking into the bedroom, and reminded him in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is coming soon."

Shi Junji said "En", but he didn't show anything other than that, and Zhang Dequan didn't speak anymore, he knew that Shi Junji was measured.

Shi Junji waved away the palace servants who were about to come up to change clothes for him, sat down and opened his mouth and asked: "How to treat the headache?"

Di Shuangjie lowered his head halfway: "Go back to the emperor, this subject can only make a diagnosis after seeing and hearing everything in person."

Shi Junji looked at Di Shuangjie up and down several times, and suddenly remembered something: "Last time you said that he had deficiencies, and that the doctor next to him was no less skilled than you, I ask you , can you be sure to cure the headache that he can't cure?"

Di Shuangjie lowered his head even lower. He remembered Xu Yunjin who was brought by Shi Junji that time. He knew that Shi Junji asked about this matter for him, and he also knew why Shi Junji didn't go to the morning court today: "Is there no minister?" grasp."

Shi Junji was silent. In fact, he knew it too, but after all, he had a glimmer of hope in his heart, and he was inevitably disappointed when he heard Di Shuangjie's answer.

Di Shuangjie knew that the Empress Dowager would come soon, seeing that Shi Junji was sitting behind the table and didn't make it clear, so he could only ask: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager asked..."

Shi Junji replied casually: "Just say I have a headache."

"Yes."

The Empress Dowager came to Changping Palace very soon, Shi Junji was sitting at the table reviewing the memorial at the moment, got up and saluted after seeing the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager asked about Shi Junji's physical condition, Di Shuangjie answered truthfully.A look of anger flashed across the Queen Mother's face, and she said coldly, "Everyone back down."

Only the queen mother and Shi Junji were left in the room. Seeing Shi Junji's cold expression, the queen mother sighed slightly and asked in a questioning tone, "Where did you go last night?"

Ever since he took almost all the power into his own hands, Shi Junji no longer acted according to other people's faces, and usually did not hide his emotions. Now that he is in a bad mood, and seeing the Queen Mother interfering in his affairs, it is unavoidable to be even more unhappy : "I'm just not in the palace overnight, so why make such a fuss, Queen Mother."

Although the Empress Dowager has delegated power, after all, she is the person who used to be in charge of the country, and there are still some confidantes around her, so Shi Junji is not surprised that the Empress Dowager will know that he was not in the palace last night.

"Your majesty, as the emperor, your safety not only represents yourself, but also represents the safety of the world. If something happens to you, how will you let the world live? How will you let the Daping Dynasty?"

Shi Junji raised his eyebrows: "Empress Mother, even if you are the Empress Dowager, you will not allow the emperor's life and death to be talked about. Or, Empress Mother, you really love your own son, and wish to let him live in Changping Palace?"

The queen mother trembled suddenly, and quickly denied: "Your Majesty, this is absolutely unacceptable, the Ai family has never thought about it that way."

The current queen mother is not Shi Junji's biological mother.Shi Junji is the eldest son of the emperor. His mother passed away shortly after giving birth to the second son. Afterwards, the empress whom the emperor appointed again is the current empress dowager, and the third son of the emperor is the empress dowager's own son.

Shi Junji's mother's family is not prominent, and there are few children. Even before Shi Junji's biological mother passed away, she resigned from office and went into hiding. Now the Jiang family that the queen mother belongs to is unscrupulous, and this has a lot to do with it. There is no other family. It is no wonder that the existence that can compete with it will dominate.From this point of view, even if members of the Jiang family wanted to usurp the throne, Shi Junji would not be surprised. Even if the Queen Mother had secretly stated that she would not interfere in government affairs, Shi Junji still could not fully trust her.

"What are you anxious about, Queen Mother? I have never doubted you." Shi Junji thought for a while, "I just ask Queen Mother not to interfere with my affairs in the future. Even the Queen Mother shouldn't do the same to spy on the Emperor."

The queen mother knew that Shi Junji was saying that she was meddling in her own business, so she took two steps forward unconsciously, but was taken aback by Shi Junji's increasingly gloomy face, and knew deeply that Shi Junji was no longer As for the former Shi Junji, the queen mother can't remember when this change started to happen, she just hoped that the person who brought Shi Junji this change would not become trouble later.

Shi Junji was already impatient: "I have a terrible headache now, please go back, mother."

The Queen Mother's words reached the corner of her mouth, but she finally swallowed it.The Changping Palace where the Empress Dowager left suddenly quieted down, and Shi Jun finally heaved a sigh of relief, and listened to Xu Sa's news of Concubine Shu's arrival outside.

"not see."

Shi Junji's tone was cold. Thinking of what Xu Yunjin said about Xu's monogamy last night, he rubbed his forehead with a headache. It seems that if he doesn't find a way to get rid of the harem, the possibility of being with Xu Yunjin is zero, let alone him. He couldn't bear to wrong Xu Yunjin.

If it wasn't for Xu Yunjin's headache, Shi Junji originally wanted Xu Sa to take Xu Yunjin to the hot spring village, but now that Xu Yunjin has a headache, Shi Junji thought that he would have to take care of it for a day or two, so he was not in a hurry to let Xu Yunjin go. Hot Spring Zhuangzi, but asked Xu Sa to go to Xu Mansion with many valuable medicinal materials.

When Xu Sa arrived at Xu Mansion, Xu Yunjin was still awake, and wanted to leave the medicinal materials, but was stopped by Qing Pei: "I can't decide whether to accept these things for the master."

Xu Sa had no choice but to stay in the Xu Mansion and wait for Xu Yunjin to wake up.

When Xu Yunjin woke up, it was time to eat dinner. His headache was no longer as painful as in the morning, and now he just felt a little groggy, probably because he had slept too much.Qingpei quietly entered the room, waited for Xu Yunjin to freshen up, and finally said: "Xu Sa is waiting outside."

Xu Yunjin didn't speak, Qing Pei went out to welcome Xu Sa in, and Xu Sa explained his intention in a few words.

Xu Yunjin was silent for a while: "I don't want it, you take it back."

"Second Young Master, this..." Xu Sa was very embarrassed.

Xu Yunjin didn't even raise his eyes: "Take it back." He repeated again, "Take it back, I won't want it." Because of the headache, Xu Yunjin didn't dare to speak loudly, but Qingpei could hear Xu Yunjin's tone No matter what Xu Sa wanted to say, Qing Pei grabbed Xu Sa's collar and threw it outside the door.

Xu Yunjin turned his head sideways to look at the figure of Xu Sa who was still knocking on the door in an attempt to let him accept the medicinal materials reflected in front of the door. After watching for a while, he turned his head and ignored it, and asked softly: "Did anything happen today? ?”

"Just one thing, the master and the eldest son went to the morning court today, but they came back very early. I heard later that the morning court was canceled because the emperor was in a bad condition."

Xu Yunjin became more and more silent, Qingpei stood quietly behind Xu Yunjin and did not speak. After a long time, Xu Yunjin sighed: "... the ointment is about to run out?"

"I have already been to Mr. Duan, and I took some ointment newly developed by Mr. Duan. Mr. Duan said that it is more effective than the previous one, and can make Er Shao fall asleep faster."

Xu Yunjin then replied: "Well, it's pretty good."

"Master once sent someone to invite you, Second Young Master, to have breakfast. I told him about my headache, and he said to send someone to inform you when you wake up."

"No, I'll just go in person." Xu Yunjin stood up slowly, "Today I slept too long, if I don't walk around before the night's rest and consume energy, I'm afraid I don't need to sleep tonight."

Qingpei didn't speak, Xu Yunjin didn't look like a person who was very energetic and full of sleep, his face was a little pale, and his brows were full of tiredness, even if he was lying on the bed now, he could fall asleep quickly if he thought about it, Qingpei didn't Not wanting to disobey Xu Yunjin's order, he just said softly: "I'll have someone prepare the sedan chair to the front of the house."

Xu Yunjin thought about it and agreed.There is still a distance between his residence and study, and it is difficult to walk there with his current appearance.

When Xu Yunjin arrived, Xu Tao was going to the dining room. Seeing Xu Yunjin coming in person, Xu Tao was very surprised and frowned: "It doesn't mean that when you wake up, just let someone tell you. What are you doing here?"

Xu Yunjin smiled, Xu Tao has always been against him, but as long as he gets sick, Xu Tao can't say anything bad again, thinking about it, this is the only place that can reflect the deep relationship between him and Xu Tao Bar: "I slept for a long time, walk around and move around."

Xu Tao looked at the sedan chair behind Xu Yunjin, then at Xu Yunjin, and finally decided to pretend he didn't see the sedan chair: "Well, let's go have dinner together."

"No, I've asked the small kitchen to make me some other food, and now I want to eat something bland and bland."

Xu Tao didn't force it, so he wanted Xu Yunjin to go back to rest directly, but he paused when he saw the expression on Xu Yunjin's face: "Do you have something to tell me?"

Xu Yunjin struggled for a while, and finally the fatigue on his face became more serious, and he said slowly: "No, it's nothing."
