Xie Xiang

After this dream, Liu Zao couldn't sleep well, and it rained again, so he woke up the next day with a severe headache.

She got up and changed her clothes. After washing and washing, she walked out of the palace door and saw the sun shining brightly outside the palace. The grass and trees were fresh and fragrant, flowers, birds, bees and butterflies were vivid and moving, and the breeze was blowing her clothes.

Liu Zao exhaled slightly, his heart became clearer, he went to look for Xie Yi and invited her to go back together.

Xie Yi had already woken up, and anticipating that she would come, he specially ordered someone to prepare an extra meal table, and had breakfast with her.

After eating the food, the two went to the shore together, where a big boat was already waiting there.Seeing the beautiful scenery along the way, Liu Zao couldn't help regretting that he couldn't see it with Xie Yi, so he said to Xie Yi, "It's a pity that we can't stay here for a long time."

In fact, if you want to keep it, you can keep it. You only need to have people transport the bamboo slips of the case to Penglai by boat.She begged, Prime Minister Xie loved her so much, maybe he agreed to stay.However, there will be a big dynasty tomorrow.Since Liu Zao came to the throne, except for the time when he was too sick to get up, he has never missed a court.This time, I will not make an exception for fun.

"Next time I'll be free, Your Majesty will come again." Xie Yi said.Jianzhang Palace is in Chang'an City, she can come whenever she wants.

Liu Zao nodded and boarded the boat.

The boat travels steadily, passing through the smoke and waves, which has a secluded and ethereal artistic conception.Liu Zao already had a headache, but it got worse when he was swinging on the boat, so he didn't get up to watch, and just sat obediently.

Xie Yi saw that she was not moving, and saw that her expression was slightly haggard, so she couldn't help being concerned, and asked, "Your Majesty is feeling unwell?"

Liu Zao smiled slightly, and said casually: "I have a headache, I'll be fine when I go back to sleep."

After she finished speaking, she looked out of the boat again, the sparkling water surface, as the boat passed by, a clear blue water channel was drawn out, which was very beautiful.Such a good scene, she only took one look, then turned around and closed her eyes for a nap.

Xie Yi saw that her complexion was becoming more and more ugly, her lips were pale, her eyes were black and blue, she was obviously extremely tired, so she was very worried, fearing that she would catch a serious illness due to the rain yesterday.When he got off the boat, he warned: "Go back and ask the medical officer to come and see."

Liu Zao rested all the way and felt better. Hearing Xie Yi's instructions, he agreed, and told her in turn: "Mr. Xie also got caught in the rain, and he needs to be seen by the medical officer. Don't ignore it."

Xie Yi also agreed.

The two walked together to a fork in the road, Liu Zao went back to Weiyang Palace, Xie Yi went home, so they had to separate.

Xie Yi saluted as usual, watched Liu Zao leave, and waited for her to walk more than ten steps before turning around and walking on her own way.But after walking a few steps, she suddenly felt worried, wondering whether His Majesty would call the medical officers to see the disease, whether she felt uncomfortable at the moment, whether she would really have a good rest when she returned.Leaving the palace all day yesterday, there must have been a lot of papers piled up on the imperial case. Your Majesty is young, but extremely responsible, and is very concerned about political affairs. After returning, he may drag his sick body to review the accumulated memorials.

She was worried about these things, so she couldn't help turning her head, and saw Liu Zao was also turning her head.Seeing her looking over, Liu Zao smiled, waved to her, and signaled her to go home quickly.

Seeing the smile on her haggard face, Xie Yi couldn't help feeling sour, and knowing that His Majesty would not leave if she stayed here, she raised her sleeves and walked away quickly.

Seeing that she had disappeared, Liu Zao turned back to the palace just now.

When they arrived at the Greenhouse, they sent someone to summon the medical officer, but Liu Zao couldn't help recalling the dream yesterday.The scene in the dream was extremely clear, but when I think about it now, it is blurred and I can't remember clearly. Only Xie Xiang's sentence "You really make me sick" is clearly printed in my mind.

Liu Zao sighed slightly, and said to himself, the theory of the afterlife is illusory, and the only thing people can control is this life, otherwise, why would Emperor Qin and Emperor Wu spend so much time trying to live forever?She actually forgot about this encounter, and asked Xie Xiang to be born in the next life.Thank you for agreeing, must it be because you feel sorry for her?In this way, her breaking faith is justifiable, and she cannot be blamed.

It's just a pity that the life of her and Xie Xiang has long been hopeless.

Liu Zao thought about it, and the medical officer came.This time the Imperial Physician Order and the Imperial Physician Cheng came together.

Two medical officers saw it, and reported to Liu Zao: "It's really a cold, wait for the minister to prescribe a medicine, and your Majesty will take two pastes, and it will be relieved."

Liu Zao nodded, and said, "Go yourself."

The two withdrew.

Liu Zao braced himself up and waited until the medicine had been decocted and taken before resting.She slept all afternoon, and woke up near dusk. Perhaps the medicine had taken effect, and the headache was really relieved, except for a slight cough.But not serious.

Seeing this, Liu Zao felt relieved and summoned the imperial physician to see the disease.The imperial physician ordered him to take his pulse again to confirm that he was getting better, and said carefully: "These two days are the time when the wind and cold are smoldering in the body. Your Majesty must not work too hard, and you need to rest well. If you rest well, the illness will heal itself."

Liu Zao nodded, seemingly unintentionally, and said, "Has the Prime Minister sent someone to invite a medical officer?"

The Imperial Physician Order replied: "Please, it is for the Prime Minister to see a doctor."

When he said this, he stopped. Liu Zao paid attention to his expression, and seeing that he was undoubtedly worried, he knew that there was nothing wrong with thanking him, so he didn't ask any more questions.She summoned him to ask Xie Xiangke a medical officer, and since she knew about it, she made him retreat.

She felt better, and remembered that she hadn't seen the memorials today, so she went to Xuanshi Hall again, brought all the memorials from the past two days, and looked through them.

Until Zishi, when Hu Ao saw her reading the memorials, he couldn't stop, and he couldn't help sighing secretly.Tomorrow Maoshi still has to go to court, even if he goes to rest at this time, he will only have three or two hours to sleep, and His Majesty is still ill.He approached cautiously and persuaded: "It's time for the child, your majesty is going to rest."

Liu Zao came back to his senses when he heard the words, and looked at the hourglass, only to know that he could see the hour just by looking at it.She covered her lips and coughed twice, stood up, pointed to the two scrolls of bamboo slips that had been purposely put aside, and said, "You keep these two memorials for me, and they will be read out to all the ministers tomorrow."

It must be a great event to be able to read to the ministers during the great dynasty.Hu Ao complied with his promise and carefully put away the two memorials.

Liu Zao put down the pen in his hand and walked out of the hall, thinking about what he had played in the memorial.There is an endless stream of major events in the world, and those presented to the royal case are even more important among major events, so she reads the memorials very carefully, and asks the ministers to discuss if there is anything that cannot be resolved.

This time, we are talking about a small group of civil unrest in Wu.The big man is not worried about small disturbances, no matter where he sends some soldiers and horses, he can calm down.It's just that Liu Zao thought, Wuyue is a rich and prosperous land, the people should live and work in peace and contentment, why there is civil disorder?The other thing is to think about how the imperial court should calm down, so that the people can not only be intimidated and learn from the past, but also show the benevolence of the imperial court and make the people feel loyal to the imperial court.

She thought all the way, went back to the bedroom and lay down, closed her eyes, still thinking.

It was just a half-dream and half-awake, and she suddenly thought that Prime Minister Xie would not become her queen, and would not live in the Jiaofang Palace, so it would be meaningless to keep those things Xie Xiang loved that she had collected in the past in the hall. It is necessary to find an opportunity to give it to Xie Xiangcai.

Xie Yi was also thinking about her at home, wondering whether she had rested earlier and whether her headache had been relieved.The next day in the court, I saw Liu Zao, her face was hidden under the crown, so I couldn't see clearly.After the court was over, she entered the Xuanshi Hall with several important ministers to discuss the government affairs. Only then did she see clearly that her face was much better than yesterday. Although she had a cough, she was still in good spirits.

Xie Yi felt relieved.

Since then, Chaozhong has been busy.Until autumn, Liu Zaofang remembered that she was going to build a palace by the Taiye Pool.It's just that the autumn is crisp and the wind is clean and moist, and the idea of ​​building a palace due to the heat has faded away.Liu Zao didn't mention it any more, and put the matter aside for the time being.

Xie Yi, on the other hand, kept her in mind for a long time, and secretly ordered someone to draw a few blueprints of the new palace for His Majesty to choose.It's just that I didn't hear her mention it later, so I knew that she probably forgot, and when it was cold in autumn, I just forgot it.

It's strange to say that Xie Yi didn't spend much time with Liu Zao, but she knew her very well, and even guessed that after a while of eagerness, according to His Majesty's casual temperament, by next summer, she would feel hot. Most of them went to the Taiye Pool, randomly found a cooler palace, and dealt with it.

In the summer of the second year, it really did.

Time flies, this year is the fourth year of Yuan Zhen, Liu Zao is now, and Xie Yi is 32 years old.This year, Liu Zao still rarely summoned Xie Yi, but she would not deliberately avoid seeing her, and would not avoid being alone with her. She did it much more naturally, and would discuss government affairs and hear about Xie Yi. When he came up with a good plan, he would smile with her, summon her privately, and give some items that were very suitable to her as gifts. During the winter solstice, Liu Zao went to the old lady's house, and even posted a message with Xie Yi, and the three of them celebrated the festival together.

But her words and deeds are gradually becoming more and more like a junior, like a person who grows up and understands the absurdity of her youth, and when she realizes her mistakes, she corrects herself and never mentions the past again.She respected Xie Yi very much, she was polite in private, and she showed respect in every way in public, comparing her to Duke Yi Yin Zhou.

She did a good job, but Xie Yi could never forget that night on Penglai Island, when His Majesty heard that she had promised an afterlife, the corners of his eyes were red and he said "I'll wait".

She also almost believed the disguise she tried so hard, if she hadn't looked at her, hadn't seen her suppressing the scars in her eyes, and Hui Hui standing outside the palace gate, watching her go away.She really wanted to hide it from His Majesty.
