Chapter 16
Zhao Jin fainted that day and did not wake up for five days. The imperial physician of the Imperial Hospital searched through medical books and ancient books and thought about all kinds of methods, but in the face of the inquiries of the concubines and ministers, he could only shake his head and sigh.
Although anyone with a little thought could have guessed that Zhao Jin was probably in a terminal state of illness, but this is how he is. When he is not at the end of his journey, he still holds a little thought.
However, as Zhao Jin was unconscious for several consecutive days, Zhao Sansi, the newly released crown prince in the previous dynasty, was also in charge of the government affairs with Prime Minister Cai Jun, and the assistant of Grand Tutor Su Yuan, was still stable, but the concubines in the harem really began to worry.
According to the regulations of the Great Chau, once the emperor died, the concubines who were below the throne of concubines in the harem and had no children were either buried with them or placed in the Buddhist temple, and were often accompanied by the ancient Buddhas of the green lamp.
Although the deep palace is lonely, it is better than the fate of burying with you and going to the Buddhist temple. Now Zhao Jin is really cured. Whether it is true love or false, the tears and sadness of the women in the harem are real. They kneel outside Chengqian Palace every day to wash their faces with tears, and they can't even drive them away.
In addition to these women who are afraid of being buried with and being widowed, the other person who is most afraid of Zhao Jin's death, and the other person who is most afraid of being so dizzy is Zhao Sansi. In the past few days, she has not gotten up one day and slept later one day. Because Cai Jun has arranged more and more things, she asked someone who used to think about what to eat today to think about how to prevent floods in the south of the Yangtze River, or how much money to provide relief to refugees who have suffered from snow disasters in the north, and other major issues such as her brain said that it was not enough.
More importantly, when she was in the Cedar Palace, no one asked her, the prince, to study. The things she had in her belly were all taught by her mother. The memorials written by the court officials were not long and long, and she didn't know many words. Just reading the memorials made her big head.
Therefore, no matter how busy she is, she will take time to come to Chengqian Palace. Like the women in the harem, she kneels there and crys, and screams anxiously: "Brother, you must not die. Being an emperor is so tiring, I don't want to be an emperor."
In the first two days, Li Zhongxian was able to suppress her with Prime Minister Cai Jun and Prince Su Yuan, and comfort her who was in trouble back to the Showa Palace. However, as Zhao Jin was slow to wake up, Li Zhongxian was useless to move out. She was waiting for Zhao Jin to wake up in Chengqian Palace, which was even more difficult than those mournful women.
But this is the future king again, and he can't beat and scold him. He said it lightly. The little crown prince's tears were even more surging than those women outside.
After Li Zhongxian had no choice but to send Xiao Liuzi to Changle Palace to invite someone.
"Empress, the concubines in the harem listened to their advice. After crying every day, they would be over. But the slave really had no choice but to deal with His Highness. She didn't return to Showa Palace last night and stayed in front of the emperor's bed all night. Today, even the prime minister couldn't scream and did not agree to deal with the government affairs. The slave went to invite her, and she hid directly under the emperor's bed and couldn't come out."
Xiao Liuzi spoke vividly, and she was so excited that she could not help but laughed at Zhao Sansi. Gu Xizhao sat lazily on the couch, and she couldn't help but laugh. She covered her lips and smiled with a veil before she looked down at Ye Mingzhu on the cabinet, and said carelessly: "Your Highness doesn't even listen to the Prime Minister and the Grand Tutor. Will she listen to the words of this palace?"
Although Xiao Liuzi also felt that Concubine Xi might not have a solution, he was still a little blindly following his godfather Li Zhongxian's words, so he said, "Who is the Empress? You must have a solution."
Gu Xizhao lowered her eyes, but the little fool's appearance appeared in her mind. She was annoyed for no reason that her pitiful face shook her head gently and frowned, "I have no choice but to go."
Zhao Jin is now looking dead, and she is about to run away. The deep palace has trapped her for five years of freedom. She should be straightforward and careless when she leaves. But after returning from Showa Palace that day and night, she lay in bed without sleep all night, worrying about the little brother all night.
When the next day was dawn, she was surprised to find that she seemed to be too concerned about the little prince. Just because she was worried that people would not be able to sleep if they changed places, she would actually travel from west to east in the middle of the night, and only glance at the little fool.
This was really a bit too much. She was a little worried that after she left the palace, she would be worried that this little fool would not be able to help but run back.
Therefore, in the past few days, she was not only going to Chengqian Palace to call Mao in the morning, but also stayed in her Changle Palace. While she was preparing to run away, she was thinking about setting a distance with Zhao Sansi.
"Empress..." Xiao Liuzi knelt down with a "thump", his tone dragged down, "Your Highness is always close to you, you can persuade you. At this critical moment, the emperor is unconscious, if it is your Highness..."
"Shut up." Gu Xizhao subconsciously frowned and interrupted her. The little fool was in good health, but the little fool's crying look appeared in her mind. She felt a little unbearable. She thought for a moment, bit her lower lip, and said in a bad tone: "Okay, get up."
"Did the Empress agree?"
Gu Xizhao didn't reply to her. Xiao Liuzi saw her get up and hurriedly came over to support her. She also felt a little happy, "It's the empress's kindest."
Gu Xizhao turned her head and glanced at him, snorted coldly, and Xiao Liuzi quickly stopped her mouth and respectfully helped her walk out.
When we arrived at Chengqian Palace, outside the bedroom, the concubines who were crying today had already arrived. When they saw Gu Xizhao coming, they all pretended not to see it and did not get up. Instead, they cried even more and more vigorously.
Gu Xizhao was too lazy to care about these people. After walking two steps, seeing that these women were crying so badly, she paused again. The pair of willow eyebrows swept over coldly: "Why are you crying? The emperor is still lying in it, you can't wait one by one?"
"What did the imperial concubine say? I was worried about the emperor, so I couldn't help it..." Yu Fei, who was the most disagreeable person with Gu Xizhao, wiped her tears and whispered her.
"Hmph." Gu Xizhao glanced at her and did not have these useless verbal disputes with her. "The emperor said that the palace would not need to serve the sick, and those who come to visit the disease must also be approved by our palace. Today, none of you came to Chengqian Palace to cause trouble without the consent of this palace. Say, should you think about your mistakes behind closed doors or copy scriptures in the Buddhist temple?"
"you……"
"Come here, take Concubine Yu down to this palace. She will not serve food for three days and copy the "Women's Commandment" three hundred times."
With her order, Xiao Liuzi immediately winked at the guards beside him and took the man down toughly.
Seeing this, the others looked at each other. Under Gu Xizhao's cold eyes, the crying gradually lowered until the sound of breath. The last group looked at each other privately, then stood up together, saluted and said goodbye to Gu Xizhao.
"I punished Concubine Yu today. You are joining in the fun. I won't pursue it for the time being. If anyone dares to come here to make trouble tomorrow, you will go and serve as your companion for Concubine Yu."
"What the Empress taught me is that I dare not."
Seeing that they were honest, Gu Xizhao stopped talking, waved her hand and signaled them to retreat. When the people left, they went straight to the bedroom.
Zhao Sansi was still hiding under Zhao Jin's bed. Li Zhongxian lay there patiently persuaded him. After hearing the movement behind him, he got up and saluted Gu Xizhao, "Concubine Xi."
Gu Xizhao pointed under the bed with her chin, "Is the person still inside?"
Li Zhongxian frowned into the character "Chuan", "The Prime Minister and the Grand Tutor have just arrived, it's useless, and they're still hiding from behind."
Gu Xizhao then bent down and glanced under the bed. She happened to face the rabbit eyes of the little fool below. To her surprise, the crown prince who usually trusted her very much now turned his head...turned...
Tsk, is this a temper with me?
Gu Xizhao blinked, raised her head again, looked at Li Zhongxian, and said with no help, "Look, do you still ignore me?"
Xiao Liuzi: "...Empress, do you advise again?"
Gu Xizhao turned around and walked out: "My face looks good, so I won't touch my hot face and put it on my cold butt. If I don't persuade me, I will return to the palace."
"Empress..."
"Aoah..." Before Li Zhongxian could finish speaking, a cry suddenly came from under the bed. When everyone else was silent, the aggrieved little prince slowly crawled out from under the bed, "The imperial concubine doesn't care about me anymore..."
Unlike Gu Xizhao who had a headache, Li Zhongxian and Xiao Liuzi all breathed a sigh of relief when they looked at the little prince who had crawled out from under the bed, just as long as they came out.
Zhao Sansi cried so badly, tears and snot. He hadn't seen him for a few days, and his little face seemed to have lost weight again. Gu Xizhao couldn't help it, so she turned around and walked towards her. Before she could take out the veil, the little prince hugged her.
"The prime minister is so fierce, the grand tutor is so fierce, those memorials are so difficult, and those homework is so difficult, I don't want to be the crown prince... The imperial concubine doesn't come to see me..."
Li Zhongxian and Xiao Liuzi: "..."
