Chapter 40 Prince (3)(1/2)
Perhaps it was the voices of the officials outside the curtain that woke up the sleeping official. Perhaps the decoction he had taken finally took effect, and the official who was losing blood to his brain finally got a chance to breathe.
Anyway...
He groaned and opened his eyes.
Mrs. Anren, the wet nurse who had been serving him at his bedside, immediately nodded happily and said, "The official family is awake!"
As a result, the entire curtain was disturbed.
Empress Dowager Gao stood up one after another and went to the imperial court to inquire about the dragon's body.
Zhao Xu also followed Queen Xiang to his father's imperial couch.
As a result, Zhao Xu was able to see his father as he looks now for the first time in his life.
Her face was thin, her cheekbones were high, and her eye sockets were sunken. Those eyes that once could scare the courtiers with just a glance have now lost their former energy, and they just looked at the Queen Mother and Empress who were surrounding them quietly.
It was only when I saw Zhao Xu's appearance that I felt a little brighter.
"Father!" Zhao Xu didn't have to ask the queen for advice this time.
With a plop, he knelt down in front of his father.
The tears in his eyes rushed out in big drops.
"My son, I pray to the gods and Buddhas, and wish my father a speedy recovery!"
…
Zhao Xu opened his eyes and looked at his mother, his queen, appearing beside him.
The queen mother and empress were wearing official uniforms, which made him instantly understand what the situation was like now.
"Father!"
"My son, I pray to the gods and Buddhas, and wish my father a speedy recovery!"
In my ears, I heard the cry of a child.
It's Brother Six!
Zhao Xu became excited and tried hard to turn his head so that he could see his son.
The son he worries about the most and misses the most.
But his central nervous system was already semi-paralyzed. He had been bedridden for nearly a month, and his body was extremely weak. He no longer had much strength to control his neck.
He could only make unknown sounds.
"Queen, help the official up..." Empress Dowager Gao cried and told Queen Xiang: "Let the official take a good look at Sixth Brother!"
He stepped forward to the queen and helped her husband up from the bed.
The emperor, who has been bedridden for recent months, has become extremely thin.
Almost like a withered mummy, crying to the queen, she lifted her husband up and let his head rest in her arms.
Zhao Xu leaned on the Empress Xiang's arms, his eyes trying hard to look at the child kneeling in front of the Empress.
His son!
Queen Xiang's hand gently touched his forehead.
"Guan family, Sixth Brother has moved to the palace today!" Queen Xiang told him the matter while crying.
Zhao Xu used all his strength and nodded.
After serving as king for nineteen years, he naturally knows what moving the palace means?
The young prince could only move to the palace at the request of the prime minister.
This shows that his ministers have unified their opinions and formed a common force.
"Cai Chizheng will finally live up to my trust!" He thought in his heart.
"Brother Six!" Xiang Xiang said to the queen: "Come to the imperial court and take a good look at your father!"
Zhao Xu immediately became excited.
He tried hard to cheer up and kept his eyes open.
He wanted to take a good look at his son again.
His heir!
…
Zhao Xu crawled to his father's palace on his knees.
Then he raised his head and looked into his father's eyes that had completely lost their former glory.
For Zhao Xu, this was the first time he met his father after twenty-five years.
It is not the lifeless and cold portrait of the royal family enshrined in Jingling Palace.
Nor are they electronic images on the modern Internet.
It is my father who is still alive.
He is still thinking about him and still worrying about his father.
Therefore, Zhao Xu's crying and tears at this moment are real and come from the heart of a pure child.
"Father, my son is here!" Zhao Xu shed tears and kowtowed heavily.
At this moment, countless thoughts were beating in Zhao Xu's mind.
The memories of previous lives and what we see, hear and know in modern times are intertwined with each other.
"My son is unfilial and cannot serve his father's soup and medicine..." Zhao Xu cried and paused again.
Yes, he is an unfilial son!
In his previous life, his lifespan was too short! He didn’t even leave a son to inherit his legacy!
There are three kinds of unfilial piety, the greatest is not having children!
What’s more, it’s an imperial home?
What's more, the inheritance of our ancestors is entrusted to non-human beings?
so……
"Father, I will definitely give you many, many grandsons in my life!"
"I must not let my family's inheritance fall into the hands of others!"
Zhao Xu said in his heart.
Yes.
In Zhao Xu's heart, Zhao Ji and Zhao Si are all outsiders. He calls them "emperor's younger brother", but in his heart he never regards them as close brothers, let alone as someone who can be entrusted to the country.
The heir!
Therefore, in Zhao Xu's previous life, even though Zhao Xu was his biological brother from the same mother, he was still alienated from him.
Zhao Ji was able to have a close relationship with him only because of sympathy and the fact that Zhao Ji could not threaten the throne.
In Queen Xiang's arms, she listened to her son's cry and looked at the child's appearance.
A drop of hot tears finally fell from Zhao Xu's eyes.
He tried his best to look at his mother, with a look of longing in his eyes.
Of course Empress Dowager Gao understood what her son wanted to say?
Empress Dowager Gao shed tears and told him in a low voice: "Don't worry, Emperor! My mother has made a decree. From today on, King Yong and King Jia are not allowed to enter the Funing Palace without an edict!"
"Until next month, King Yong and King Jia will move out of the confinement and live in the homes of their loved ones!"
Zhao Xu nodded gratefully to Empress Dowager Gao.
What he was most worried about was guaranteed by Empress Dowager Gao.
Queen Xiang was beside him, and his son was also listening in front of him.
He can finally rest assured!
So, he made a sound and looked away.
While sleeping, he heard the voice of his minister.
Therefore, he knew that the ministers were now in Funing Palace.
When Empress Dowager Gao and Empress Xiang saw them, they both shed tears and said to the left and right: "The officials want to see the ministers. Let's call all the ministers to enter the palace and pay homage to the emperor in front of the emperor!"
Then he ordered the people around to raise the curtain in front of them and the emperor's royal couch.
This is etiquette!
So Empress Xiang gently put down her husband's body, and with Empress Dowager Gao shedding tears, she retreated behind the imperial couch and into the raised curtain.
At this time, the ministers who had received permission had just divided into two teams under the guidance of Liang Weijian and arrived at the imperial court with the fluorine.
