The emperor looked at the queen for a long time, and the queen seemed to feel something and woke up.
She quickly straightened up her appearance and stood up, saying in surprise: "Your Majesty, you are finally awake."
The emperor smiled, looked at the dark circles under the queen's eyes, nodded, and struggled to sit up, "How long have I been asleep?"
The queen stretched out her hand to help him, "Your Majesty has been sleeping for two days and nights."
"Have you been taking care of me?"
The queen said: "I don't worry about others taking care of me. After all, my father-in-law was here before and he was a considerate person. I don't worry about him not being able to take care of Your Majesty. Now that he's gone, I don't worry about it, so I can only do it myself."
The emperor held her hand and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
The Queen smiled and said, "Your Majesty, nothing happens."
She asked: "Your Majesty, please drink some water first. The imperial kitchen has always prepared medicinal food. I will order someone to bring it to you right now."
The emperor nodded.
The queen herself poured water for the emperor, fed him to drink, and ordered people to go to the imperial kitchen immediately, and then hurriedly called the imperial doctor.
The imperial doctor was guarding the side hall and came as quickly as possible. After checking the emperor's pulse, he breathed a sigh of relief and advised the emperor, "Your Majesty, you have been furious and hurt your efforts. Now, although you are no longer seriously ill, you still have to be careful."
Take good care of it."
The emperor heard this and asked: "How long do I need to raise your general?"
The imperial doctor hesitated, "I can't say for sure. As long as your majesty doesn't get angry too much, he should be able to recover faster." After saying that, he advised again, "In the end, your majesty should love the heavy dragon body and be calm, otherwise it will harm the dragon body.
.”
The emperor nodded, waved his hand, and asked the imperial physician to retreat.
The people in the imperial dining room quickly brought medicinal meals, and the queen served the emperor to eat them.
The emperor seemed to have no appetite. After eating less than half a bowl of porridge, he shook his head and stopped eating. He asked the queen, "Where is the prince?"
The queen sighed, "The prince has been very busy with court affairs these past two days. Since His Majesty fell into a coma, the prince has not slept for two days. In the morning, the prince came over once. Seeing that his majesty was not awake, he went to work again.
"
The emperor remembered the testimony that Yan Huisheng had shown her about the precious concubine, and his face darkened, and he said to the queen: "Let the prince come to see me."
The queen nodded and sent someone to the East Palace to spread the message.
Yan's echo came very quickly. He was not the only one who came. The second prince, Yan Lin, heard that the emperor was awake and hurried into the palace without being summoned. The other princes and princesses also came to the Yangxin Hall after receiving the news.
Yan Lin and Yan Huisheng arrived at almost the same time. He glanced at Yan Huisheng, cupped his hands and said, "Prince."
Yan Hui nodded, "Second brother."
Hearing the commotion outside, a father-in-law came out to welcome him. He took a look at the people who were coming, and bowed his hands to Yan Huihui, "Your Highness, you are here? Your Majesty, please come in."
Yan Hui nodded and entered the Yangxin Hall.
Yan Lin felt jealous and grabbed his father-in-law, "Where are we? Can your father see us?"
Don't blame him for being anxious, he hasn't seen the emperor for many days.
The father-in-law shook his head, "Your Majesty did not say that he wanted to meet with your Royal Highnesses. He only told His Highness the Crown Prince."
Yan Lin was extremely panicked, "Excuse me, father-in-law, please tell me that we all miss our father."
The father-in-law nodded.
After Yan Huisheng entered the inner hall, the emperor had something private to say to him, so he said to the queen: "Queen, you are tired too. Go and have a rest. I don't need you to guard here anymore. I want to talk to the prince."
The queen was indeed tired. The emperor woke up and summoned her son immediately. Naturally, she no longer had to guard the emperor, so she nodded and retreated.
The servants who were serving him were very discerning and retreated outside the door. Only the emperor and Yan Huisheng were left in the palace.
The emperor asked Yan Hui: "Will there be peace in the court these two days?"
Yan Hui nodded, "My father is in ill health, and the courtiers are very worried, but it is still peaceful, so my father can rest assured."
The emperor knew that his son was capable, and with Yan Hui's presence, the government would not be in chaos. He said: "I heard from your mother that you haven't slept a wink for two days? Is it because of the matter in northern Hebei?"
Yan Huisheng's face was obviously tired, but fortunately he was young and the dark circles under his eyes were not as heavy as the queen's. But it was enough for the emperor to see clearly that the queen was not lying. His son was indeed exhausted these past two days.
Yan Hui nodded, "The things that precious concubine revealed are too big. I really can't feel at ease. I'm trying to think of a way."
"Have you figured it out yet?" the emperor asked.
Yan Hui shook his head, "Not yet. We will wait for Father to wake up and we need to discuss it carefully. After all, I don't know how many soldiers and horses General Pingxi keeps privately. I dare not make a decision easily. Father still needs to make a decision."
The emperor's face looked a little ugly, "I don't know either. I have underestimated that piece of shit Zhang Ping all these years and was fooled by him."
Yan Huihui did not accept the words.
The emperor knew that he was in the wrong. If he had not doted on Zhang Ping and doted on his precious concubine, he would not have been in this situation. He was so troubled at home. If foreign troubles came again, he would probably become a sinner for the ages.
His mind was raging, his blood was hard to calm down, and he coughed violently.
Yan Huisheng stepped forward and patted the emperor's back. Although his expression was pale, he still said warmly: "Father, take care of the dragon body. The matter has come to this. If you are angry, you are only angry at yourself. It is better to calm down and think of something."
.”
The emperor was touched by Yan Hui's words of concern. He nodded, gradually calmed down and stopped coughing. He asked him, "Who is out there?"
Yan Hui replied: "It's the second brother, the fourth brother and all the brothers and sisters."
The emperor nodded, without saying goodbye, and said to him: "Regarding Northern Hebei, you should have a charter in your mind. Tell me your thoughts."
Yan Hui said: "I have sent secret guards to Northern Hebei to investigate the details of General Pingxi's mansion. In addition, I have blocked the news that the precious concubine has been sent to the sky prison. However, there are many people in the capital, and I am afraid that there are also people in the court.
Zhang Ping's people and Erchen were not sure how long the news about the precious concubine's exposure could be sealed. Therefore, they could not make long-term plans for General Pingxi's Mansion and could only make a quick decision. In addition to secret guards being sent to find out the information, Erchen
I plan to send another person to the officialdom in northern Hebei, and then let the soldiers and horses of the Protector's Palace sneak into northern Hebei to prevent Zhang Ping from rebelling. He will march straight into the capital and attack the capital without preparation. If you can fight without blood, it is best to get rid of Zhang Ping.
, if it cannot be eliminated without bloodshed, the only option is to use troops."
The emperor said: "Since Zhang Ping had ambitions as early as ten years ago, he should have already controlled the officialdom in northern Hebei. If you send people to the officialdom in northern Hebei, you may be a sheep in the tiger's mouth."
"Then you have to go." Yan Hui said: "It's the big exam this year. Now that the list has been released, we are waiting for the imperial examination for my father. After my father appoints officials, a new batch of officials will naturally be assigned to various places.
, it is normal for there to be officials released from the capital in northern Hebei."
"Who to send? Do you have someone selected?" The emperor thought that none of the current officials in the court could be used. No one could shoulder the heavy responsibility of northern Hebei. The new batch of candidates, including the top few, were not available.
After experience and training, there is only one Zhou Gu, who has been studying in the East Palace for many years. Should I send Zhou Gu there?
