Gu Xizhao returned to the bedroom but couldn't sleep anymore. As soon as she closed her eyes, the little prince who cried at any time in her mind. She could even imagine the pitiful look of the other person curled up in the crack of the stone and wiping his tears silently.

The next day, at dawn, Concubine Xi, who had not been able to sleep all night, got up on her own without waiting for the palace maids to come and serve her.

"Empress, why did you get up so early today?" Chan'er knocked in when he heard the movement outside. Seeing that Gu Xizhao was already carrying clothes, he ordered Zhu'er to come outside to send something to serve her to wash up, and then went up to serve her clothes.

Before entering the palace, Gu Xizhao was not a spoiled lady, but now she has been a favorite concubine in this palace for several years, and she can enjoy the service of these palace people more and more freely. As soon as the cicada came up, Gu Xizhao was too lazy to do anything.

"Is the Empress going to see the Emperor today?" She can wear regular clothes in her palace, and her makeup and hair accessories are a little more casual. If she wants to go to the saint, she has to wear palace clothes, so she has to pay more attention.

"I had an assassin in the palace last night, so I naturally wanted to see the emperor." Gu Xizhao took advantage of the gap between cicadas and her clothes, sat down in front of the bronze mirror and rubbed her temples. "Today's hair accessories are simpler, and I will insert two hairpins less. I feel that my head is a bit heavy today."

Upon hearing this, Chan'er hurriedly stepped forward and touched her forehead, "Did the Empress get a cold bath last night and get a cold wind? Fortunately, her forehead is not hot. However, it's chilly now, the spring is cold, so the Empress is better careful. After breakfast, I will ask you to go to the Imperial Hospital."

"No need, I am not such a spoiled person." Gu Xizhao shook her head, stood up again, and asked her to serve her clothes. "I have used food earlier, so I will go to Chengqian Palace."

Chan'er knew her temperament, and it was not something they could persuade her, so she didn't say much, helped her put on her clothes and combed her hair style herself.

After cleaning up, Gu Xizhao had no appetite. She used half a bowl of bird's nest porridge and asked Chan'er to go to the concubines of each palace to inform her that she would not come to Changle Palace for tea today, so she went to Zhao Jin's Chengqian Palace.

After the Empress Dowager died, the high-level concubines in the harem were not very close to Zhao Jin, so naturally they would not put on airs of elders and let these concubines pay their respects. Therefore, the highest position in the palace is the queen of Fengqi Palace, but the queen is not in good health. Except for the first and fifteenth days of each month, these concubines do not have to pay respects.

There were many bells and swallows in the palace, and there was no other fun. The concubines who couldn't rest usually came to Changle Palace to talk about sesame and millet. Over time, everyone made a promise. They went to Fengqi Palace to pay tribute to each other on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, and usually came to Changle Palace to chat.

Gu Xizhao was not annoyed. In this deep palace, she loved to look at the group of women below who were unhappy and could not help her teeth. She also liked to make a few words of mouth, which made those brainless women inconsistent, which was also a time-consuming pastime.

However, today's entertainment is not as pitiful as the little pitiful trembling in the cracks of the stones.

Zhao Jin is now seriously ill, so he naturally rested in the morning. When Gu Xizhao passed by, the imperial physician was asking him for his pulse.

"Emperor, Concubine Xi is here."

Zhao Jin's face today was a little worse than yesterday, and his breathing was heavier. When he heard Xiao Liuzi's announcement, he covered his mouth and coughed. He saw the red in his hand. Seeing this beside him, Li Zhongxian quickly took out the handkerchief, "Emperor..."

Compared to Li Zhongxian's excitement as if he was about to die next moment, Zhao Jin was very calm at that time. He reached out to let him wipe his hand, calmed down, and did not allow the imperial physician to continue to ask for his pulse, "You all go down."

The two imperial physicians who asked for the pulse looked at each other, and after a moment, they bowed and retreated. Zhao Jin's illness was urgent and he could not find the disease for a while. Although they were worried, they were helpless.

After the imperial physician left, Zhao Jin said to Xiaoliuzi: "Go and invite the imperial concubine in."

Outside the hall, Gu Xizhao met the two imperial physicians. After meeting and saluting, she also showed the concerns that the favorite concubine should have, "Doctor Zhang, the emperor's illness is better today."

Seeing that the two old doctors shook their heads and sighed, Gu Xizhao was really worried, "What? Is the emperor's illness worse than that?"

"The emperor's body is a little worse today. When he was taking the pulse, he coughed up blood. I and Doctor Lin reviewed the medical arts and classics of the Imperial Hospital. Now I have applied medicine according to the symptoms. But the emperor's disease... not only did not heal, but it became worse. I am really incompetent..."

Zhao Jin has been ill for several days, and Gu Xizhao has come to serve him every day. Although she saw that the person looked bad and coughed continuously, she never took the person's terminal illness seriously.

"Is Doctor Zhang afraid he didn't do his best?" If Zhao Jin had died or lived last night, she would have been reluctant to leave at most half of her confidant. But today, when she thought of the little prince who said she wanted a free and free small fiefdom in the future, she really didn't want Zhao Jin to die too early.

"I am afraid." The two imperial physicians hurriedly bowed and bowed, "It's not that I am not willing to do my best, but that I am really willing but not capable."

Birth, old age, sickness and death are the most difficult to force. Gu Xizhao didn’t understand this principle, but... "The emperor has not yet established himself... I would like to ask two of you here."

"What did the Empress say... I should do my best." The two imperial physicians hurriedly returned the salute.

When Xiao Liuzi came out to see this scene, he felt very moved. He thought that Concubine Xi and the Emperor really love each other. Look at the concubines in the harem, which one of the Concubine Xi carries the Emperor so much?

After Gu Xizhao finished talking to the imperial physician, Xiao Liuzi wiped his tears and asked Gu Xizhao to come in: "Empress, the emperor is waiting for you inside."

After the imperial physician left, Li Zhongxian was personally serving Zhao Jin to drink medicine. The medicine in the hall was very strong. When Gu Xizhao entered, she couldn't help frowning slightly, "I'm here to see the emperor."

Zhao Jin waved his hand, "What day is this? Why did Concubine Xi come so early?" After that, he coughed again.

"Eunuch Li, let me come." Gu Xizhao walked over and took the medicine bowl from Li Zhongxian's hand. "Yesterday, Guard Duan led people to my Changle Palace in person. Are you worried about the emperor?"

Zhao Jin glanced at her and raised his hand to signal Li Zhongxian and Xiao Liuzi to go out. When everyone left, he took the medicine bowl and drank it all. "Others may not know the truth, but I don't believe that Concubine Xi doesn't know."

Gu Xizhao raised her eyebrows and stopped talking to him. She directly said straight to the point: "Why, the second prince hasn't found it yet?"

"Li Zhongxian sent someone to stay in the Cedar Palace for a night but didn't see anyone back. Guard Duan led his men to search for people for so long, but he didn't see anyone..." Zhao Jin said, coughing again.

Gu Xizhao saw that he was really coughing hard, so she quickly gave him some relief. Seeing that he coughed up blood again, she was stunned for a moment. He heard that it was one thing, but seeing it with his own eyes was another thing, "Emperor..."

After a while, Zhao Jin recovered. Seeing Gu Xizhao's anxious look, he suddenly laughed, "I'm not dead yet, look at you pretending to be so depressed."

Now that he is in a state of decline, Gu Xizhao is not in the mood to joke with him, "Zhao Jin, we have known each other for so many years. You have been trapped in this deep palace. Although you are not willing to do so, I have never blamed you. If you really die, you will feel a little sad."

"This disease suddenly came and was anxious. I never expected it. I wanted to wait until midsummer to take you and the queen to the palace in Jiuchong Mountain to escape the summer heat. Then let you leave there, but I don't want to..." Zhao Jin also said sincerely. Thinking of her body, she couldn't help but smile bitterly, "How could he know that human calculations are not as good as God's calculations. But don't worry, if I can't overcome this hurdle, I will definitely not let my brother trap you in this deep palace in the future."

Gu Xizhao pursed her lips and spoke after a while, "Don't think so pessimistic. You are in your year of physical strength, so there will be no problem."

Zhao Jin smiled, not wanting to tell her about this, so he turned his head to look at her, "You said I was searching openly and secretly, but I couldn't find anyone. Where did this person hide?"

"It's all said that blood is connected. The emperor, the elder brother, cannot sense where his younger brother is, and I can't guess even more." After all, he was guilty. Gu Xizhao calmed down and said, "Does the emperor really doubt that he had hidden the person? Yesterday, Guard Duan personally took people to Changle Palace to search."

People who are usually seventy-six-pointed indifferent to everything and threety-thirds of the fun are rare to care about it. Zhao Jin is naturally a little suspicious, but he also thinks that there is no need to have a close relationship with the two. Besides, he knows that this person is not greedy for the money and position of the deep palace. Even if he really has something to do with others, there is no need to hide it from him. After thinking about this, Zhao Jin stopped this thought, "I just want to hear your thoughts. Concubine Xi's Linglong mind is always more clear than I do."

Gu Xizhao lit her chin, pretended to think for a while, before tentatively saying: "Instead of sending people to search in various palaces, it is better to send people to search in remote palaces and rockery. The second prince usually has little contact with people, and even if he is shocked, he dare not run into strange palaces easily."

"You're right. It seems that I really want to be confused..." Zhao Jin thought about it carefully and felt that Gu Xizhao's analysis was reasonable.

Just as he was about to call Li Zhongxian over, Li Zhongxian's anxious voice came from outside, "Emperor..."

"What's the matter in a panic?"

Li Zhongxian pushed the door and bowed and said, "The second prince has found it, but..."

"But what, but..." Gu Xizhao was also anxious when he saw Zhao Jin, so he hurriedly answered for him, "You didn't see the emperor getting coughed when he was anxious, and he spoke like this for three times, and he was determined to make the emperor anxious?"
