Xie Xiang

As soon as Xie Yi left, only the Empress Dowager and Lvzhu were left in the Changxin Hall, which was deserted.

In the past, the Huadian was always bustling with people, the servants of the palace, the flattering female relatives, there were people coming and going, but now it was deserted, as if it coincided with the decline of Changle Palace.The Empress Dowager's back, which was originally sitting upright like a pine tree, gradually bent down, with a look of loneliness appearing on her face.

Luzhu had been in the back hall just now, and heard the conversation between the queen mother and the prime minister, from this few words, she also knew that the queen mother had suffered a big setback and needed help from others.At this moment, seeing the empress dowager's expression was depressed, her timid heart also wanted to make her happy, so she boldly said: "The empress dowager angered the prime minister, what should the prime minister do if he is angry and repents?"

The timid voice suddenly sounded in the silent hall, and the queen mother was startled, only to realize that she was still there, her bent back subconsciously listened, and frowned at her, trying to reprimand her for talking too much, but felt that she really wanted to talk to someone, After coming to spend this difficult silence, he pretended to reprimand: "You don't understand the affairs of the court."

Luzhu immediately blushed, lowered her head, and dared not speak.

Feeling satisfied, the Empress Dowager replied: "Xie Yi has a gentleman's manners, if she promises, she will definitely fulfill it."

Lu Zhu understood, but she still had questions. She wanted to ask but was afraid of the Queen Mother's majesty, so she dared not speak.The queen mother gave her a mocking look, and said with grace: "But it's okay to say."

Luzhu was overjoyed, and asked the question: "Why did the queen mother tell you about seducing your majesty? After all, your majesty is a young man, and there are always things that you don't understand, and you need someone to guide you. The prime minister knows that you intend to seduce him. Don't you want to transfer your anger towards His Majesty to the Empress Dowager?"

This is where the Empress Dowager is proud, she said slowly: "Xie Yi is very caring towards the emperor, she is kind and kind, and she is an elder, even if the emperor has a feeling of transcendence, she is mostly tolerant, with her strictness towards herself, Maybe you will blame yourself for failing to fulfill your duty of teaching. But with the meaning of obscenity, it is different. Who can endure the child who has devoted half his life to love and support, and when he is facing you, he thinks of profanity and fornication, let alone She's as serious as Xie Yi. Even if she doesn't hate the emperor, it's hard to be against her."

The Empress Dowager's voice gradually lowered, and her complexion turned gloomy: "The emperor is separated from each other. If there is a gap between the two of us, I can take advantage of it. It is not considered a serious defeat."

Green Bamboo understood, and was silent for a while.Most of the favorites of young people are clean and pure, even if they are angry, they are also tolerant.But once contaminated with lust, it becomes hateful.Xie Xiang heard what the Queen Mother said, and when he saw His Majesty, he couldn't help but think of her standing in front of her with a respectful look on her face and serious words in her mouth, but she was probably thinking about how to pull her to the dragon bed.In this way, there is no face to meet His Majesty.

Lu Zhu secretly sighed, thinking that the queen mother is really powerful, and also feel that people are ghosts and ghosts, which is really scary.For a moment, she suddenly had a question, and said: "If Prime Minister Xie has known about His Majesty's bold intentions, wouldn't the Queen Mother's words just help His Majesty out of the siege?"

"Young people will always make mistakes, not to mention someone deliberately seduces? Your Majesty's intentions are definitely hateful, and those who instigate him are even more hateful. All the anger will be directed at the Empress Dowager."

The queen mother was shocked when she heard the words, thought carefully, smiled calmly, and said confidently: "No, the emperor has a calm temperament, and he has not yet controlled the government, so he must not dare to show his thoughts."

Luzhu thought about it, and belatedly realized that women can also have love, and the Queen Mother still understands it very well.Looking at the Empress Dowager, he immediately admired her, thinking that the Empress Dowager is really knowledgeable.

The Empress Dowager said a lot, and her dull thoughts also dispersed a lot, just waiting for the news of the emperor's opposite purpose.

Xie Yi returned home, summoned his staff and asked him to investigate what happened in the palace recently.The aides didn't know why the prime minister cared about the palace, so they didn't dare to ask any more questions and went immediately.

Sitting at home, Xie Yi felt a little restless, but she was used to keeping things calm, and now she was worried, but her expression was still calm, she just raised her hands to support her forehead, showing a rare sign of fatigue.

After a long time, the staff member came back with an embarrassing expression on his face: "The lower officials are incompetent, the greenhouse palace is as solid as gold, and no one has leaked the secrets."

Xie Yi was startled, a little dazed.

In order to show that he was not too incompetent, the aide told all the things he found out: "It's just that there must be something, otherwise the palace people there would not be secretive to everyone."

Intentionally concealed, but it looks strange.It's a pity that it's really impossible to find out what happened.

"It's okay, you step back." Xie Yi said.

The staff member breathed a sigh of relief, saluted, and retreated cautiously.

Xie Yi turned her head and looked out of the window. At some point, the tree sprouted new buds and spring came to the earth.She stood up and walked to the window, slightly lost in thought, just as the spring comes without knowing when, His Majesty is also growing up unconsciously, maybe it won't be long before she will grow into an appearance she can't recognize.

His Majesty led the palace guards to arrive suddenly, probably because he got the news that she had entered Changle Palace, fearing that something might happen to her, he rushed to rescue her.In fact, she was not so angry anymore, she was already worried when she hurt His Majesty with her bad words last time, but after listening to the Queen Mother explaining the reason, the rest of the anger was gone.

However, she couldn't face her after all. Although someone deliberately seduced her, His Majesty's thoughts on her were true, and his daring intentions were also true.She called her aunt obediently, but what was she thinking in her heart?Most of them have no respect at all and act recklessly.

She was really disheartened, and thought that since they had achieved this step, they were already alienated from each other, so why should there be any troubles caused by the Queen Mother's words?It's better to just be like a stranger. When His Majesty grows up and lets go of his delusional thoughts, she may still hear her call her aunt sincerely.

But the emperor's haggard look made her worry again.The staff couldn't find out, which made the situation even more serious.The next day, Xie Yi secretly sent people to find Hu Aolai.

Hu Ao hurried over, and when he arrived, he was still panting, and when he saw Xie Yi, he bowed first.

Xie Yi asked directly, "What's going on in the greenhouse these days?"

Hu Ao didn't dare to reveal the forbidden matter, but he thanked the blind date for asking, but he didn't dare not answer, after all he was entangled, he was still more afraid of Xie Yi, and worried that the emperor really had something good or bad, how could he afford that? The big crime, kneeling on the ground, replied: "Your Majesty is seriously ill and has been lying in bed for several days. Fearing alarm in the court, he issued an edict to seal it up. It has improved in the past two days, but he went out yesterday, and his condition worsened when he came back. The heat has come, and it hasn't subsided until now."

Hu Ao looked sad.

Xie Yi's heart trembled, and said, "Lead me to see."

With Liu Zao's order first, Hu Ao didn't dare to agree, but firstly he knew that His Majesty and the Prime Minister were not fighting each other, and secondly, if His Majesty had been ill for a long time, it would not be long to hide it, there must be someone in the court to preside over the overall situation for His Majesty.

He gritted his teeth, accepted the responsibility, and led Xie Yi into the conservatory.

The doors and windows in the hall were tightly closed, filled with the smell of medicine, Xie Yi came to the bed, Liu Zao closed his eyes, his face was withered and yellow, his lips were so dry that they were skinned, and he was unconscious from the burn.Xie Yi glanced at it, and immediately ordered the imperial physician to come and inquire about the condition.

The emperor had been ill for so many days, and finally someone who could take charge came.The imperial physician ordered one person to take care of His Majesty's holy body, and he was already in a panic. Hearing the prime minister's question, he knelt down before the emperor's sick bed.

Seeing him kneeling down, Xie Yi's heart ached, she forced herself to calm down, and said, "Report in detail."

"Your Majesty is suffering from a heart attack. His spleen was injured, and he caught a cold again. After a few strokes, he fell ill. After a few days of recuperation, he finally recovered. Yesterday, someone entered the palace to give a secret report. His Majesty went out for half a day regardless of his illness, and came back. Afterwards, the sickness relapsed and he stayed in bed again."

Xie Yi didn't know what it was like to hear this sentence of disregarding her health.She turned her head to look at Liu Zao, Liu Zao was lying on the bed, covered with a brocade quilt, honestly, looking so well-behaved and fragile.Xie Yi couldn't help thinking of yesterday, when she walked past His Majesty, His Majesty's eyes suddenly darkened.

"The lower officials are incompetent and not good at wind-cold symptoms. I would like to recommend someone to diagnose and treat your Majesty." The imperial physician ordered again.

Xie Yi looked at him and said: "No matter who you recommend, if His Majesty is ill, you are also guilty."

Is there anyone who doesn't understand the imperial doctor's order, and knowing what the prime minister said, he agrees, so he kowtows and retreats to find someone.

Liu Zao never woke up.She doesn't just get hot all the time, but turns hot and cold for a while.Xie Yi stood by the bed, touching her forehead from time to time, seeing that her body heat had subsided, before she could be overjoyed, she saw her cheeks were flushed and hot again.

The Imperial Physician Order came back quite quickly, and the medical officer he recommended was also an old man with white beard and hair, who looked very reliable.

The old medical officer stepped forward, also wiped his pulse, said His Majesty's forgiveness, opened Liu Zao's eyelids tremblingly to look, looked at it, sighed, and said with Xie Yi: "This is a combination of illness and disease." If the disease recurs again, it may become a chronic illness."

It really became a chronic illness, and the body collapsed.

Xie Yi's heart was cold, she turned her head to look at Liu Zao, held back her panic, and said to the medical officer, "Treat it well, if it is cured, you will be the hero of the big man."

How dare the medical officer not do his best, and hurriedly promised: "Your Majesty will do my best." He sighed again, "Your Majesty's illness also has the appearance of congested thoughts. If you can understand what is on your Majesty's mind and clear it up, you will be able to get twice the result with half the effort."

But there is no way to spy on the king's mind.After the medical officer finished speaking, he saluted again, and stepped back for the time being, to discuss the prescription with the imperial physician order.
