The most important thing is, if this guy Luo Jia - she almost gritted her teeth, if this guy Luo Jia is really still alive, the group of ministers will swarm him, if the news leaks out, this will be even more terrifying than if Emperor Hongwen is seriously ill.
Luo Jia still has to hide like a ground rat.
Because of this, she did not dare to seek confirmation from Wei Chen, the Taoist Master and others. After staying in the palace for so long, she naturally knew the dangers involved.
Zhang Niangniang waited until she saw her standing up, then sitting down, and then standing up again. She asked worriedly: "Queen Mother, why do you look so bad?"
When Fang Fei looked in the mirror in front of her, she was startled, but she saw that her face was pale, and her eye sockets had a very obvious circle of black, which were sunken deeply.
"Queen Mother, please eat some more."
She shook her head. After suffering all night, she still had no appetite.
"Take away all these meals."
"But, Queen Mother, you won't be able to stand it if you continue like this. Eat some more."
Somehow, I used to like breakfast, but now I have no appetite at all.
Zhang Niangniang took a careful look at her face and said cautiously: "Queen Mother, you seldom eat these days and don't get enough rest. If this goes on for a long time, your body will collapse first. I will go and make you some ginseng soup first." …”
"No, I don't want to eat anything now."
No matter how tired I was, as long as Emperor Hongwen got well quickly and returned to Pingcheng, everything would really disappear.
The decision was made almost instantly. At this time, no matter what request Emperor Hongwen made, no matter how hard it was to take care of him, he would agree immediately.
She still suppressed the eager impulse in her heart, and immediately lowered her head and began to look at the various medicine lists again. She almost wanted to show everything she had learned in her life, and wished that Emperor Hongwen would be cured in one day.
For several days in a row, Fang Fei stayed at the Xuanwu Palace. Because she personally administered the medicine every time, Emperor Hongwen's condition gradually improved, and on the fifth day, he finally opened his eyes.
It was a rainy day, and the rain outside the window splashed on the carved wooden windows, making a pattering sound one by one.
The woman next to her sat on the diagonal step, squinting her eyes and tilting her head. She was obviously exhausted to the extreme. She was wearing casual clothes and should have looked like a serious empress dowager sitting down. At this time, she was swaying around and her face was expressionless. Very haggard. When a person who is seriously ill and in a coma, the first person he sees when he wakes up is the one he most wants to see!
Such a mood almost shocked Emperor Hongwen. However, he opened his mouth, but slowly closed it again, and only made an unconscious hum.
Seeing that the tiger skin on her body was about to fall off again, he quietly stretched out his hand and pulled it. When he touched her hand, he realized that the arm that had been leaning on the chair was cold to the bone.
Due to this touch, her head tilted violently.
Emperor Hongwen was startled, thinking that she would open her eyes, wake up immediately, and immediately retracted her hand.
However, she did not wake up, but turned sideways, almost half curled up on the backrest, and fell asleep more deeply. After a while, Emperor Hongwen opened his eyes. From this angle, he could see her face more clearly. , but seeing that her face was pale and her eyelids were blue under the long eyelashes, it was obvious that she had been very tired these past few days.
She has always known it in her heart. In the past few days, she has been guarding herself and rarely left Xuanwu Palace.
When I was sick, I had her by my side.
He was surprised and happy, and felt unspeakable bitterness in his heart. He was sick, so she would be like this. What if she got better? If she got better, they parted ways immediately?
He reached out again, this time fully awake, and grabbed her hand.
In her dream, Fangfei seemed to feel the burning heat in her palms and suddenly opened her eyes.
However, her palms were empty, and Emperor Hongwen was still lying on the bed, as if nothing had happened. She glanced at Emperor Hongwen in a daze, and sighed: "Your Majesty, why aren't you awake yet?"
If she looked carefully, she could actually hear the sudden rapid breathing of Emperor Hongwen. However, because she had just woken up, she was dizzy, and because of the raindrops outside, Fangfei didn't hear anything.
Her legs were a little numb, so she slowly walked to the window. It was already raining in autumn, and as soon as she opened the window, a cold wind hit her face. She shivered slightly and immediately closed the window.
It is a good place to escape the summer heat in the mountains. After autumn and winter, especially when it rains, the house is very cold. A brazier should have been built, but due to the family rules of their royal family, Emperor Hongwen was a person who strictly abided by the ancestral system. She thought about it,
It's better not to destroy it.
Light raindrops were falling outside the window, and the water droplets on the pine needles were falling down like lines. The windows were also gray, one by one, like the thin and long continuous negative lines between heaven and earth. She suddenly turned around and saw Emperor Hongwen's eyes, tired.
, weak, but clear, even sharp. As if wondering: Why are you here?
She immediately saw that Emperor Hongwen was truly awake.
She was ecstatic and ran over: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty... you're awake? It's great..."
She stretched out her hand, touched his forehead with her cold hand, and suddenly retracted subconsciously, smiling coquettishly: "Sorry, Your Majesty..."
Your Majesty, Your Majesty!
No, it's not Hong! It's not her gentle and kind voice when I wake up from a midnight dream and have nightmares. Even His Highness is better than His Majesty.
Emperor Hongwen looked away with a very cold expression.
She also looked away, but she was still happy, "Your Majesty, how do you feel? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere else? Do you want to eat something? I will order the meal right away..."
His voice was enthusiastic, but his attitude was distant. He strictly adhered to the duty between the two of them.
He felt pain, why couldn't it be the same as before? It was before that after he woke up from poisoning, she rushed up and hugged his neck with joy, and even her voice was charming: "Hong, Hong, you finally woke up..."
It was obviously a long time ago, why do I suddenly remember it so firmly and clearly? It's like it happened yesterday.
Fang Fei also saw something was wrong in his eyes, and instinctively took a step back.
This kind of alienation will soon wake up those sad past events sleeping in the memory - I don't like you! Don't dream! Even if blood is splashed on Bei Wudang, never think that I will surrender to you.
Those cruel and ruthless voices.
He covered his ears tightly, feeling the intense pain in his heart, which was more unbearable than the disease: "Get out, get out!"
"His Majesty……"
"Get out, get out right now!"
Fangfei turned around and walked to the door silently.
Emperor Hongwen looked at her blankly. This woman, this cruel woman, actually left. Seeing that her feet were about to step out. He leaned slumped on the bed, unable to suppress the feeling of being seriously ill for many days.
Emotions, whimpering.
Fang Fei turned around and looked at him, but saw that his shoulders were shaking.
She walked back quietly and put her hand on his shoulder: "Your Majesty... you will get better. You will get better soon."
You don't care whether I live or die - these words are stuck in my mouth, but I can't say them out. It's like a person who has no confidence has even lost the power to resist.
"What do you want to eat? I'll ask someone to bring it to you right away..."
An announcement came from the door, "King Rencheng wants to see you..."
Fang Fei immediately said: "Come in."
Wei Qiyuan and King Ren Cheng strode in, beaming with joy: "Your Majesty, you are awake..."
"Thank God, Your Majesty is really awake. Thank you, ancestors, for blessing me."
Emperor Hongwen almost roared when he looked at the ungrateful Wei Qiyuan and King Ren Cheng. However, the two men did not realize it at all and were still loyally talking to themselves: "Your Majesty..."
Emperor Hongwen felt a buzzing in his ears, like a swarm of flies flying by, but he saw that the woman beside him had already legitimately retreated, and really stayed where the Queen Mother should be, with a smile on her face -
A kind of motherly smile.
This smile was really like a needle. He almost clenched his fist, rushed over and punched her hypocritical smile away - how could this woman smile like this?
"Your Majesty, thank you to the Queen Mother for taking care of you all the time..."
"Yes, thanks to the Queen Mother's wonderful rejuvenation and prescribing the right medicine, the Queen Mother is really the lucky star of our Tuoba family. She had a deep love for the late emperor, and now she has made a great contribution to rescue His Majesty..."
The two men rushed to take credit for Empress Dowager Feng. The veins on Emperor Hongwen's head jumped and he almost gritted his teeth and said: "You all stand down, I want to rest."
"Okay, okay, I will leave immediately."
Fangfei walked at the back.
When I walked to the door, I suddenly heard the voice of Emperor Hongwen, full of strong teasing: "Empress Dowager Feng..."
That was the first time she heard his voice, as if he was naming him by name.
She slowly turned around, still gentle and good-tempered: "Your Majesty, you just woke up, you should eat something." After saying that, she continued the order without waiting for his answer.
Emperor Hongwen clenched his fists and turned his head to the side.
The porridge was delivered quickly, and the two palace maids served it respectfully: "Your Majesty, please use..."
"Back off!"
"Your Majesty, please order some porridge..."
A palace maid was about to reach out to help him when she suddenly saw the anger in the emperor's eyes. She was startled and immediately knelt down: "This slave deserves to die, this slave deserves to die..."
"Get down!"
The two looked at Empress Dowager Feng for help, not daring to stay any longer, and immediately ran away.
Fang Fei had been standing at the door the whole time. The awakened Emperor Hongwen was almost more difficult to deal with than when he was unconscious. She originally wanted to comfort him, but after taking a few steps, she felt top-heavy and she was also weak.
, but still managed to keep up the energy and went to get the bowl: "Your Majesty, please have something to eat..."
He sneered: "Thank you, Queen Mother Feng."
"Your Majesty, please don't do this...Oh, I'm very tired too, really tired..."
Her voice was hoarse and erratic, and even her hair was not as dignified and neat as usual. Her whole body looked so haggard.
Emperor Hongwen was about to have an attack, but at this moment, he couldn't say anything anymore. He was like a greedy child who only thought about tenderness. This was not enough, and he needed more and more.
"Your Majesty, please order some porridge..."
She picked up the bowl to feed him, but he coldly reached out to take it and eat it himself, but his hand shook.
Fang Fei was going to hand it to him smoothly, but seeing that he was like this, he was a chronically ill person after all, so she brought the bowl closer and her voice became gentle: "Your Majesty, can I feed you?"
The spoon was handed to his mouth, and he opened his mouth blankly, not knowing how to resist. He was like a puppet being manipulated. After ordering half a bowl of porridge, he couldn't taste the taste in his mouth, but his heart was turning over and over again.
The anxiety in my heart made me dare not tell anyone that as long as I got better, this woman would definitely leave. She would not stay, and she would never stay for herself.
"Your Majesty, isn't this porridge delicious? What do you want to eat?"
Emperor Hongwen leaned against the bedside and looked at her blankly, his heart compromising once again. Those gentle caress in the dream, the eager care that he had longed for for a long time, the sincere worries and concerns! No, even if he doesn't like it,
, as long as she takes care of her all the way, I want it too! I must.
He slowly closed his eyes and never said a word again.
Even my temper didn't break out again.
But Fang Fei felt strongly uneasy. She knew Emperor Hongwen's temper, and the more so, she was afraid that once it broke out, it would be even more uncontrollable.
The news that Emperor Hongwen was awake spread out, and the civil servants and generals were naturally overjoyed. When Fang Fei was diagnosed again, he thought that in about half a month, Emperor Hongwen would truly recover. The next day, ministers were allowed to recover one after another.
They came to visit. In order not to disturb the emperor's rest, the ministers only stayed briefly and then left. However, it was enough to see clearly that this young and powerful emperor was really alive.
On the third day, only two or three people were allowed to visit. After a continuous diet, Emperor Hongwen's spirit improved a little, and he left King Rencheng alone.
As usual, King Rencheng reported some things that happened in these days. At the end, he said: "Your Majesty, King Jingzhao and others have sent an urgent message saying that they want to visit your Majesty. Do you agree?"
Emperor Hongwen was about to refuse immediately, but he changed his mind and said: "Okay, let them all wait in the palace in Beiwudang."
King Rencheng did not expect that Emperor Hongwen would summon the ministers after he recovered from his illness. It was a little strange, but he still said: "A few days ago, I also reported this matter to the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother said no, and just asked me to wait and prepare.
Nice carriage..."
"King Rencheng, you immediately order several ministers from Pingcheng to come to Beiwudang as soon as possible; as for the carriage..." Emperor Hongwen's tone was so stern, "My lord, you are the elder of the family, don't you know the rules of the family? Ancestors
We are about to conquer the world. Even Taizu has never ridden in a carriage in his life. How can I destroy the family tradition just because of a minor illness?"
King Rencheng knelt down with a plop: "I know the crime, I know the crime, Your Majesty, please calm down, Your Majesty, please calm down."
Emperor Hongwen's face was still covered with a layer of frost: "From now on, everything will be subject to my orders."
"Yes, I obey the order, I obey the order!"
When King Rencheng resigned, he saw Queen Mother Feng outside the verandah. This reckless and rough prince also seemed to have discovered something: I thought that when His Majesty woke up, shouldn't he thank Queen Mother Feng for her diagnosis and treatment?
Huh? However, not only did he not hear any mention of rewards, but His Majesty did not want to see Empress Dowager Feng at all. Moreover, on some things, the two people had completely opposite opinions. It was as if Empress Dowager Feng approved of something and he would
What will you object to?
It turns out that between the Empress Dowager Feng and Emperor Hongwen, the emperor and the empress dowager had different interests?
He did not dare to speculate, but he still respectfully greeted Empress Dowager Feng, and was suspicious of what Empress Dowager Feng had heard.
But I saw that Queen Mother Feng's expression was as usual.
It wasn't until Ren Cheng Wang and others had gone far that Fang Fei walked from the verandah to the door.
In fact, Emperor Hongwen's voice was very loud just now, and she could vaguely hear it. Although it was not so clear, she knew that Emperor Hongwen was deliberately going against her.
She was indifferent and didn't care, which was good. Emperor Hongwen's attitude was far more reassuring than when he was sincerely good to her.
As a result, she felt inexplicably relaxed, as if all this suffering would soon be over.
She quietly reduced the time she stayed in Xuanwu Palace. First, she stopped keeping vigil, and then changed to visiting twice a day in the morning and evening. Later, she just visited every afternoon. It was obvious that Emperor Hongwen had sobered up.
He was aware of this, but he said nothing, but his attitude towards Fang Fei became increasingly cold.
