Chapter 170 170

When Feng Zheng coaxed the King of Chu to drink medicine, Emperor Xuande finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his eldest son was willing to take medicine. He turned around and saw half of the third brother's swollen face. He was usually elegant and bookish, but just now he tried his best to subdue his brother. He was slapped in the face and was busy. Emperor Xuande immediately felt sorry for his son and said to Song Jianing: "I have me here to watch. You can go to the wing room and wash and apply medicine."

The third brother didn't sleep all night.

Song Jianing had long wanted to take the prince to medicine. Seeing that the prince was worried about the King of Chu, she didn't dare to persuade him. Now that the emperor spoke, Song Jianing looked at his husband and begged. It was right to care about his brother, but he couldn't neglect himself. Look at his face, it should be swollen into a bun, like a piece of beautiful jade, almost smashed by someone with a punch.

Zhao Heng walked to the door of the inner room, opened a curtain, and saw that his brother and elder had been drinking the medicine honestly, he saluted Emperor Xuande, led the princess away, and followed an imperial physician behind him.

Zhao Heng was trauma, and he wanted to apply plaster to reduce swelling. It was so swollen that he needed to grasp the strength when applying it. The imperial physician wanted to do it himself. Zhao Heng just thought about his brother, Wuxia considered whether his appearance was appropriate. Now he calmed down a little, felt the scorching pain on his face, and expected that his face would be very embarrassed, so he said to Song Jianing: "Come on."

After saying that, he got up and stepped into the inner room in a blink of an eye.

Song Jianing immediately picked up the tray on the table. After hearing the imperial physician's whispering advice, she quickly followed her to the inner room and bypassed the screen. She saw the prince sitting on the head of the bed with his eyes closed, with his face swollen, and his hair was in chaos when he was fighting with the King of Chu. He was haggard and embarrassed, which made people feel distressed. Song Jianing also felt uncomfortable. The King of Chu went crazy and knew nothing, but his family was worried about him, such as the emperor who had been guarding her all night, such as Feng Zheng who had to calm down when she was crying to her in private, such as Feng Zheng who had to calm down when she was in front of others, such as his own prince.

There are some things, no words of comfort are useful. Song Jianing could not persuade Feng Zheng, and he didn't know how to persuade the prince, so he walked over with a tray. Putting down the tray, Song Jianing took the hair comb and sat sideways beside her husband, and said softly: "Prince, I'll help you comb your hair first, wipe your face later and apply medicine."

I haven't slept all night, my face is covered with sweat and uncleanness.

Zhao Heng closed his eyes and nodded.

Song Jianing asked him to sit upright. She took off her shoes and knelt behind him, took off her hair crown, and helped him to get through the hair first. She walked in a hurry when she left last night, but her hair was not smooth. Now she was a little stuck when she combed. Song Jianing made light moves, and she tried slowly and did not make him hurt at all. The ivory teeth touched the scalp slightly and left immediately.

Such a touch is very comfortable.

Zhao Heng's heart, which had been worried all night, slowly calmed down in her gentle movements. The elder brother was upright, and he worked hard to help his elder brother make up. Yesterday morning, he vomited blood at his elder brother. He saw his father frowning with his own eyes and saw the disbelief in his eyes. He was afraid that his elder brother would be tired of his elder brother, so he cried and showed weakness to remind his elder brother that he was a person who values ​​friendship. This method was indeed successful. The elder father spoiled his elder brother and no longer cared about his elder brother's closeness with his uncle, but only cared about his elder brother's health.

But who could have expected that the brother, who seemed to have become steady, would be so angry that he had crazy symptoms!

Man's calculations are not as good as God's calculations. He has advised his brother so many times that he can't resist his obsession.

Is the brother wrong? No, is the father wrong? No, the success and defeat of the king, and the father is on the dragon throne, and he is the emperor, so he should weigh the pros and cons with the heart of the emperor. The prince of Wu'an was killed by the two governors who supported him without authorization. Without them, the father's suspicion would not be so serious. It is true that the emperor's uncle was wronged, but the father left the emperor's life. The father would not expect the emperor's uncle to become depressed and sick, just as he did not expect the brother to be crazy.

"Okay, please lean on me, I'll go and take the water." Song Jianing held his shoulder and whispered.

Zhao Heng was immersed in his thoughts and nodded. Hearing the footsteps of her leaving, Zhao Heng suddenly opened his eyes, but only saw her petite back in a long green dress. He saw her bent down and stood in front of the washing rack, quietly putting on wet wipes and twisting water. The slight sound of water was unexpectedly beautiful.

She was coming back, and Zhao Heng closed his eyes again, pretending to be too much in his heart, so he had no time to comfort her.

Song Jianing sat down and opened the porcelain bottle. Looking at the prince's swollen face, Song Jianing dug a large ball of ointment and applied it to his fair forehead. Then he held his shoulder with one hand and pointed the ointment with the index finger with the other. Looking at his long eyelashes, she said softly: "It may hurt a little, the prince will bear it."

Zhao Heng nodded.

Song Jianing held his breath and concentrated his mind. His fingertips fell on the edge of the swollen bag. The imperial physician said that the pain below was gentler, and he wiped it upwards one by one. The prince was used to the pain below, and he would not be so sensitive at the middle. He wiped it in the middle from the beginning, and the feeling must be the same again. The fingertips were carefully applied evenly. Song Jianing stared at him nervously, and saw that the prince just frowned, Song Jianing felt relieved.

Zhao Heng could bear this little pain, and he frowned because of his brother's illness.

Will the elder brother return to normal? If it is restored, will the father's attitude towards the elder brother change? Will the elder brother resent the emperor because of the death of the emperor? If it is resentful, he may dislike everything about the other party and do not care about the king's rule. It is also possible that he will be so resentful that he wants to steal the power into his own hands.

Everything has variables.

When Brother Sheng was taken into the palace by Empress Li, he stood outside the hall and yearned for the supreme power of the emperor. Only by sitting in that position could these princes truly protect the people around him and not fall into separation of their children. However, after the emperor's uncle was demoted, Zhao Heng and his brother sailed on the lake. At that time, he thought that as long as the brother wanted a country, he would not compete with his brother.

My brother is in good health, and my father will definitely pass the throne to my brother. Now...

Zhao Heng has a headache.

Song Jianing just touched his "bun face". Seeing that the prince's brows were frowning into the word "chuan", Song Jianing was so scared that he hurriedly shrank his hand and said anxiously: "Does it hurt very much?"

Thoughts were interrupted, Zhao Heng opened his eyes and met her worried and nervous little face. His face was fair and his almond eyes were slightly swollen. He obviously had cried. Zhao Heng then remembered that she had not slept all night, and he only had to worry about his brother, she had to worry about his brother and sister-in-law, and he also had to rest after he was working hard, and she had to take water and apply medicine to serve him.

"Are you tired?" Zhao Heng held her wrist and pulled the person into his arms.

Song Jianing was stunned, his body stiffened, and then he quickly relaxed, hugged his waist tightly, leaning his head against his strong chest: "I'm not tired, I just feel sorry for the prince." Seeing him rushing over to subdue the King of Chu, watching him pressing the King of Chu's head with a swollen face just to let his elder brother take medicine, Song Jianing felt that he was useless and could not help anything except worry.

She thought so in her heart, but she didn't say it. Zhao Heng didn't know, but when she held her gentle and considerate little princess, she felt sorry for him. The fatigue that Zhao Heng had been in for a night seemed to have disappeared. At least, there was someone who had been caring for him behind him. He had tried his best to treat his brother. If his brother could recover, he would continue to help him. It didn't matter if his brother couldn't recover, but he was there.

"Tomorrow is going to be fine, don't worry." Zhao Heng kissed her head and whispered.

Today he was not prepared and told her to see his embarrassment. From tomorrow, he would not let the princess worry about him again.

Song Jianing raised his head.

Zhao Heng smiled at her: "Let's go and see over there."

The prince could laugh, Song Jianing was relieved for the time being, looked at his face, and reminded: "It's still a little short."

Zhao Heng looked at the porcelain bottle.

There was still a little left on his forehead. Song Jianing wiped it off and then gently tapped it on his face. This time, Zhao Heng always looked at her with a smile, without frowning at all. Song Jianing couldn't help but be grateful to the imperial physician outside. The method he taught her was really effective.

After taking the medicine, the couple walked out of the wing room and happened to see King Rui and King Gong walking side by side. Last night, something happened to the Chu Palace and did not inform these two princes. Emperor Xuande abandoned the morning court, so the two brothers came to visit each other. Seeing Zhao Heng's swollen face, King Rui was shocked. His first thought was that the third brother's face was beaten by his father?

In King Rui's opinion, only the father can beat their brothers in the face.

"Third Brother, you..." King Gong asked directly in shock.

Zhao Heng ignored it and walked up the room with an expressionless face. Song Jianing was a little worried that his prince would be embarrassed just now. Seeing that he had returned to his usual calmness and calmness, he was obviously swollen but still full of momentum and majesty should not be looked down upon. Song Jianing became more and more at ease, nodded to the two princes, turned around and left.

King Rui looked at King Gong, and King Gong looked at him, and the two brothers looked at each other.

Go to the room.

Emperor Xuande and the imperial physicians were still waiting outside. Emperor Xuande was hidden behind the curtain and peeked inside. Feng Zheng had already helped the King of Chu to untire the rope and helped the King of Chu lie on the bed. The King of Chu drank the medicine to calm the soul and clear the fire. Listening to Feng Zheng's gentle coax, his eyelids became heavier and he gradually fell asleep.

The whole process took about two quarters of a minute.

Emperor Xuande took his three sons to stay outside for two quarters of an hour.

When he saw his son sleeping, Emperor Xuande was about to lead everyone in, but Feng Zheng shook his head to stop him. After coming out, Feng Zheng looked at the two imperial physicians, and then lowered his head to Emperor Xuande, "Father, my son is familiar with medical books. He has a crazy disease like the prince. You need to rest in peace and rest. You should not be angry anymore. Now the prince doesn't remember that the emperor and all princes may be stimulated again when they meet rashly, so the son minister dares to ask the father to give the prince to his son minister to take care of him. When the prince recovers from illness, he will let the prince come to his father to apologize for his filial piety."

After saying that, Feng Zheng knelt down.

The emperor may not like to listen to this, but Feng Zheng has no choice. The emperor is worried that his son wants to stay by his side day and night, but the prince's illness is because of the emperor. What if he wakes up and sees the emperor's condition worsens? Feng Zheng dares not bet. She would rather offend the emperor than stimulate her husband again.

Emperor Xuande was silent.

When King Rui saw him, he did not witness the craziness of the King of Chu, and tactfully scolded Feng Zheng: "Brother is sick, so he should ask the imperial physician to treat him. Sister-in-law should take good care of Brother Cheng. The father kept the elder brother for one night. When the elder brother woke up and saw his father, he would definitely cry. Maybe the illness would be cured. How could he not meet?"

Feng Zheng pursed her lips.

Zhao Heng asked the Imperial Hospital Du’s envoy: “My hospital envoy?”

Du Yuan made his eyelids twitch. The violent disease mainly depends on the care of the princess of Chu. He agreed with the words of the Princess of Chu, but on the one hand he did not dare to stop Emperor Xuande from seeing the King of Chu. On the other hand, he did not want to offend King Rui because of his support for the Princess of Chu. Emperor Xuande brows deeper and said unhappily: "If you have something to say, how should the King of Chu be cured, and you must not deceive."

The envoy Du quickly knelt down and kowtowed, "I, I agree with what the princess said."

That is to say, when the father went to see his son, he actually harmed his son. Emperor Xuande could not be happy, but when he recalled the obedient and honest King of Chu in front of his daughter-in-law, Emperor Xuande had to admit that his daughter-in-law was indeed the best candidate to take care of his son. The most important thing for his son to recuperate. Emperor Xuande glanced for a week and suddenly issued an order to order Feng Zheng to treat the King of Chu. Before the King of Chu's condition improved, no one was allowed to visit except the King of Shou's family of three.

"My son obeys the order." Zhao Heng, King Rui, and King Gong respectfully accepted the order.

Emperor Xuande was tired and looked at the King of Chu who was sleeping on the bed through the curtain. He left in a complicated mood.

Everyone went out to see him off. Seeing the emperor's carriage go further and further, Feng Zheng quietly clenched his hands. In the situation just now, she didn't dare to ask the emperor to send Brother Sheng back...

~

When Emperor Xuande came back, he was alone in Chongzheng Hall and no one saw him.

When the news reached the central palace, Empress Li didn't care about the emperor's mood for the time being, and only asked about the little eunuch, King Chu. The little eunuch vividly depicted the crazy attitude of the King of Chu. Empress Li was frightened and shocked the King of Chu's illness, and worried about her situation. She raised Brother Sheng to make her reliance on the future King of Chu ascended the throne, and now...

The King of Chu was so crazy that he didn't even recognize the emperor, and even punched his younger brother, King Shou.

Queen Li's heart sank.

She knew that the emperor loved the King of Chu the most, and that his favor with the other three princes was not as good as that, so she was sure that the King of Chu would ascend the throne. Last time, the King of Chu was angered by the emperor because of his uncle, which was nothing. She secretly used some tricks to help the King of Chu resolve it, but in the final analysis, the emperor wanted to forgive the King of Chu.

This time, it is no longer a question of whether the emperor wants to forgive, it is the King of Chu who is crazy.

King Chu, is there any chance?

If Empress Li loses confidence, even if the King of Chu can recover, a son who is crazy about vomiting blood for his uncle and resents his father, will the emperor be willing to leave the throne to him? It is unlikely that there will be three princes left. King Shou stutters and will never be able to take the throne. King Rui or King Gong, no matter which one ascends the throne, he will be wary of her because she raised Brother Sheng.

Queen Li was in a cold sweat. She had also raised her elder brother yesterday, but now she thinks that Brother Sheng is a hot potato.

Since it is hot, it is best to get rid of it as soon as possible.

In a blink of an eye, Queen Li made a decision.

After waiting for three days, Empress Li hinted that people around her could reveal the news that the King of Chu was crazy to Brother Sheng. Brother Sheng was five years old. Because he left the palace early and raised it in the palace, the boy was more sensible than the ordinary five-year-old child. He knew that crazy was a serious illness. When he heard that his father was crazy, Brother Sheng cried on the spot. Despite Queen Li's opposition, he insisted on going back to the house.

Queen Li couldn't dissuade him and sent someone to inform the emperor.

Emperor Xuande went to court for two days. Because he was worried about his eldest son and remembered the emperor's haggard appearance, he also seemed deeply affectionate, which moved his ministers. When he heard that something happened to Changsun, Emperor Xuande's heart was thrilled, and he put down the memorial and rushed to the central palace. Brother Sheng was crying in Empress Li's arms. When he saw the emperor's grandfather, he pushed Empress Li away, ran to Emperor Xuande, crying and asking the emperor's grandfather to send him back to the palace.

The boy cried so hard that he was so sad that Emperor Xuande felt heartbroken. His grandson knew how to care about his father, so why did his son only have the emperor's uncle in his eyes?

"Come here, send the emperor's eldest grandson back to the Chu Palace." Exhausted, Emperor Xuande picked up Brother Sheng, ignored Empress Li, and took his grandson away in person.

Queen Li breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the emperor was just because the King of Chu was heartbroken and did not abandon her. After a while, the emperor was in a better mood and served her gently, the emperor would continue to spoil her. Next, she only had to worry about one thing.

Queen Li looked out the window, one King Rui and the other King Gong, and began to hesitate again.
