Time passed quickly, and autumn was coming in a blink of an eye. Li Zhang was getting more and more excited as he looked at the potatoes growing bigger and bigger in the yard, and even wanted to dig them out immediately to see the yield. However, he was afraid that time would be wrong. If potatoes did not grow below, he would be too disappointed. As a result, he was very entangled every day.

Speaking of which, potatoes are not as good as corn and wheat. People grow on the ground, and the yield can be seen at a glance. However, potatoes grow on the ground. Unless they are dug out, God knows how much yield is? Of course, this kind of underground crops also have advantages, which is that they are more resistant to some natural disasters, such as hail, locusts, etc. Of course, it is easy to attract insects underground. After all, there are advantages and disadvantages.

Now the weather is getting colder day by day, and potatoes are no longer as lush as before, and even the leaves under them are slightly yellow. It seems that they are about to harvest, but Li Zhang is still waiting patiently. He wants to wait until the autumn harvest to harvest. Anyway, potatoes can be half a year long, and a year long, so it doesn’t hurt to grow for a few days.

In addition to worrying about potatoes, Li Zhang lived a very comfortable life during this period. After leaving the border of the Song Dynasty, Yelu Yanshou quickly claimed that the princess died of illness and then took the mission back to Liao Kingdom. Although he would inevitably be punished when he returned like this, he had a deep background and would have the possibility of a comeback in the future.

In addition, Lu Wu has been checking Shui Yuanzi's affairs, but because the time has passed, the information that can be found is very limited. However, Lu Wu did not give up. It seems that he would never give up if he didn't find out Shui Yuanzi's affairs. However, Li Zhang went to the plane from time to time to search, and now he brought back all the things he could bring back.

In addition, it seemed very calm during this period. The brothers of the wild dogs did not appear again, and nothing happened in the palace. Li Zhang went to school every day, occasionally brought some fun things to Zhao Zhen, and would go with Zhao Zhen to accompany Miaoyuan from time to time. Speaking of which, Miaoyuan's health is much better now, and he can run and jump now, and he is no longer as sick as before.

Something interesting happened during this period, that is, one day Kingsoft came to Li Zhang, coughing and shouting to settle the score with Li Zhang. It turned out that he could not help but open the canned herring, but was so fumigated that he vomited on the spot. Then he came to Li Zhang to settle the score. However, Li Zhang laughed and explained for a long time before he sent Jinshan away.

"Father is sick again!" Li Zhang just came to Zishan Hall that day, but when he saw Zhao Zhen, he complained to him with a frown.

"Why are you sick again? Is it serious?" Li Zhang frowned when he heard this. Zhao Heng was damaged by brain due to long-term chronic heavy metal poisoning. This thing is irreversible. Even if Liu E has replaced his golden tableware, it will not make Zhao Heng's brain nerves improve. Instead, it will become more and more serious as time goes by.

"It's very serious. Yesterday, my father was crazy and insisted that there was an envoy from God to pick him up. The group of people couldn't hold him back. In the end, even the eldest lady went there, but she still couldn't persuade her father. She kept making trouble until midnight, and the father fell asleep tiredly. When I went to visit him secretly, I found that my father was still talking nonsense in his sleep." Zhao Zhen said with a depressed expression. As a son of man, it was not pleasant to watch his father become a madman.

Li Zhang sighed when he heard this. In fact, he had known that this would happen. In addition, he remembered the historical records of later generations. Zhao Heng was already in a state of confusion in his later years and was talking nonsense all day long. When he saw Zhao Heng before, he was not so serious, but as time went by, I am afraid that in the future, it will be as recorded in historical books.

"Don't worry too much, everything is an aunt!" Li Zhang could only pat Zhao Zhen on the shoulder and comforted him. He was helpless about Zhao Heng's illness, because even in later generations, Zhao Heng could not be cured, not to mention that as far as he knew, Zhao Heng would not seem to have lived long.

"Well, actually, I'm also worried about the eldest lady. She has to be busy with government affairs and take care of her father. I'm really worried that her body will not be able to stand it." Zhao Zhen nodded first, and then said with some concern. Although he was afraid of Liu E, he always thought that Liu E was his biological mother after all, so he was still very concerned about Liu E.

"This is a problem. Although the eldest lady is strong, I heard that she has to be busy until the third day before she can rest almost every day. She has to get up before dawn the next day. Even if she continues like this, even an iron man can't stand it!" Li Zhang nodded when he heard Zhao Zhen's words, but he also knew that Liu E had no choice but to do so. Because Zhao Heng was seriously ill, she was afraid that the royal family would be undermined by the ministers below, so she had no choice but to do everything herself. Even if the refuted memorial was rejected by the prime minister, she had to express her attitude.

"Yes, my father was seriously ill yesterday, and the eldest lady didn't rest for another night. Today it was a grand ceremony. She went to the court meeting early. Now she probably didn't even eat breakfast." Zhao Zhen said worriedly again. His father was already ill, so naturally he didn't want his mother to fall ill at this time.

Li Zhang could also understand Zhao Zhen's mood. He patted him on the shoulder but said nothing. Although Zhao Zhen was the crown prince, at this time, he was no different from an ordinary child. All he could do was to accompany him as much as possible, so that he knew that in addition to his parents, other relatives were caring for him.

The incident of Zhao Heng's illness spread quickly and everyone in the city knew that even though the court repeatedly blocked the news, it still could not stop the spread of rumors. In fact, Zhao Heng had been sick for a day or two. Many people were rumoring that Zhao Heng might not last long. Now that the news of his illness came out, all kinds of rumors were flying everywhere. Some people even said that Zhao Heng was seriously ill and that the Song Dynasty was about to change to a new emperor.

Although rumors are not trustworthy, sometimes rumors can hurt people and even the country. For example, rumors like Zhao Heng are seriously ill may cause national turmoil and may even make some people develop ambitions if they are not regulated.

Fortunately, Zhao Heng's illness was quickly controlled, and he even had good spirits for a few days, so Liu E took the risk of letting Zhao Heng attend a grand court meeting and showed a look in front of the ministers. Although Zhao Heng was still unable to handle government affairs, the ministers immediately dispelled their suspicion when they saw that Zhao Heng had no major health problems. At the same time, the news came out, and the previous rumors finally slowly subsided.

As the storm subsided, Li Zhang breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, the weather was getting colder and colder, and the leaves of the potatoes began to turn yellow. Li Zhang finally decided to dig a potato to see how the harvest was.
