Chapter 1512 Brother
Princess Yongfu was taken into the warm room. When she saw the people in the room, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. Xie Xiaowan quickly greeted her and held her hand enthusiastically and said, "Sister Yongfu is here. Come in and the room is warm. It's snowing outside, it's cold."
The beautiful maid Yue'er took off her cloak for Princess Yongfu, took a hot water bag for Princess Yongfu to warm her hands, and brought warm wine to the master and servant to warm her body. Wang Cuiqiao and his girls also surrounded her and asked about her well-being.
Xu Jin looked at the girls who got along well with a smile, feeling quite relieved, while Princess Yongfu took her busy look over, her gentle gaze was clearly filled with worries.
"Ning'er is here." Xu Jin smiled, raised his hand wrapped in gauze and greeted him.
"Why is it so hurt?" Princess Yongfu sat down next to her, looking at Xu Jin who was bandaged like a mummy. Her voice was trembling with pain, and her bright eyes were filled with mist, and she almost cried.
Xu Jin felt warm and said indifferently: "It's okay, just skin trauma, and hair and eyebrows can grow again."
"Where is the skin that may not be properly damaged, it will leave scars... Let you be a hero, now it's good!" Princess Yongfu sniffed and complained, tears almost couldn't help but flow out.
Xu Jin said embarrassedly: "Uh... no, the burn is not serious, how can there be scars?"
Even Xu Jin was a little embarrassed to see Princess Yongfu who revealed her true feelings in front of everyone.
Xie Xiaowan comforted thoughtfully: "Don't worry, Sister Yongfu, Doctor Li has treated my husband for treatment, saying that my husband was only a very slight burn. As long as you take off a layer of dead skin, new skin will grow and there will be no scars."
Princess Yongfu felt relieved when she heard this. She took out her handkerchief and wiped her eyes, and covered her up: "It was windy outside just now, I was squinting, hugging the moon, where are the wounded medicines we brought?"
The palace maid Bao Yue hurriedly took the basket up. Princess Yongfu took it and opened it, but saw that it was filled with bottles and jars. In addition to the ointment for curing burns, there were other sprays and various expensive supplements.
Princess Yongfu took out a white porcelain bottle from it and said softly: "This is a ointment made by the imperial palace. It is very effective in treating burns. It only works twice a day to apply it on the wound. But now it seems that this bottle is probably not enough. I will ask the Queen Mother for some to send it."
"Thank you Ning'er!" Xu Jin smiled. In fact, Jiajing had given him more than a dozen bottles of burn medicine of the same style, but in order not to let Princess Yongfu down, he did not mention it, and the girls also had a tacit understanding and did not say it out.
Princess Yongfu sat for half an hour and it was almost too late. Although she was reluctant to leave, she still stood up and said goodbye. Xie Xiaowan wanted to keep a meal. Princess Yongfu was embarrassed. After all, she had not passed the door yet, so Wan quit.
So the girls had to welcome Princess Yongfu out, but Xu Jin was unable to move, so he did not give it to him.
In the following days, Xu Jin stayed in the mansion and was relieved of his injuries and refused to visit him in the officialdom. All the storms in the court had nothing to do with him, and he had a bit of "get it away after the matter is done, and he hid his merits and fame."
On the 20th day of the first lunar month, after more than half a month of recuperation, Xu Jin's injuries were healed. The dead skin on his limbs and head and face fell off one after another, and smooth and fresh skin grew. However, these skins were still dark red. It was probably still necessary to maintain them for a while before they could return to their normal skin color. The eyebrows and eyelashes also grew back, but the length of the hair was still worrying.
At this time, news of Bi Chun being executed by Ling Chi came, and everyone in the world celebrated. Xu Jin also called Qi Jingtong and Xie Erjian, the second brother-in-law who had just returned to the capital from the Western Regions, for a few drinks.
Although Bi Chun was executed, the disaster he caused had not subsided. Guo Shaoxun of Qian still occupied most of Shu. Zhang Lian and his gang of rioters went north and retreated back to Shandong and continued to rage. Yu Linsheng obviously couldn't hold on.
So Xu Jin estimated that Jiajing would soon issue an order to use himself, or Xie Qi and the others. Therefore, Xu Jin called Xie Qi and the others to their homes for a drink in advance, and formulated a strategy to quell the rebellion, celebrating Bi Chun's execution became the second.
As expected by Xu Jin, Jiajing took the initiative to come to the door on the second day, the 21st day of the first lunar month, but his mood was a little wrong. As soon as he entered the door, he asked Xu Jin if he had any wine and he wanted the strongest wine.
Xu Jin frowned and nodded, saying, "It turns out that someone really brought the strong wine, but one-third of the cold boiled water was mixed into it."
In the study, Jiajing and Xu Jin and the king and minister sat opposite each other. The charcoal fire was burning warm. After drinking two glasses, Jiajing threw the wine glass in disgust and asked to change it to a large bowl. Xu Jin asked someone to change it to a large bowl and drink it with Jiajing.
Even though it was mixed with water, Jiajing was still drunk after drinking a few big bowls. He cursed that Xu Jin was not kind and gave him fake wine. Then he told Xu Jin a heartbreaking news with tears. Zhu Zaiji, the eldest son of the emperor who was not yet two years old, was unable to survive. Ling Chen died last night!
Xu Jin was stunned when he heard this, and he was inexplicably sad and melancholy. He was also a father, so he empathized with Jiajing's mood at this moment. The most painful injury in the world is the unfortunate departure of his relatives, especially the pain of losing his son!
Jiajing plunged into Xu Jin's arms and cried bitterly. Xu Jin did not comfort him, but just accompanied him quietly, allowing the other party's tears and vomit to touch him. I remember when I first met in Shangrao County, Zhu Houcon was still a ten-year-old brat. Over the years, he had abandoned his identity between the king and the minister. Xu Jin always cared for him as his brother, and now the same is true.
After Jiajing vomited, he fell asleep in a drowsy way. Xu Jin sighed and said softly: "Sleep, when you wake up, everything will get better. I will bear all the misfortunes and difficulties with you."
Xu Jin called the servants to come in to take a shower and change clothes for Jiajing, and then settled down on the bed in the study to sleep. During the whole process, Jiajing, who was drunk, did not wake up and slept soundly under the quilt. He didn't wake up until noon the next day. During this period, Empress Dowager Jiang came here in person. When she saw Jiajing sleeping soundly, she didn't disturb her. As a result, she couldn't help crying as soon as she walked out of the room. Xie Xiaowan and his ladies finally persuaded him to stop.
Looking at Empress Dowager Jiang who was trembling on the carriage in Wei Wei, Xu Jin couldn't help feeling sad. Although the old lady was the queen mother, she was also a pitiful person. When she was young, her children died young. Her husband died young, and now her grandson has died young. The white-haired man sent a black-haired man. She has experienced the most painful and painful things in the world for four or five times!
Xu Jin couldn't help but walk to the carriage window and said solemnly as if he made a promise: "Don't worry, I will take good care of the emperor."
Empress Dowager Jiang seemed to understand Xu Jin's pun words, lifted the curtain of the car and said gratefully: "Please, Brother Jin!" After a pause, he said: "You and Yongfu should also do your business quickly, don't delay it."
Xu Jin nodded: "When the emperor wakes up, I will mention it with shamelessness."
