The Supreme Emperor's face darkened after hearing what Si Haochen asked the secret guard to pass on. He had often suffered from insomnia some time ago. Hearing that there was a cook in the imperial dining room who was good at making soothing soup, he asked him to come to Kuntai Hall to serve him.
This cook does have some skills. Unlike other cooks, the medicated meals always have a medicinal smell. Although he also uses medicinal materials, the soup he cooks not only does not have the medicinal smell, but is also exceptionally delicious. The most important thing is that the soothing soup is indeed very delicious.
efficient.
The Emperor thought the cook was good at cooking, and even though he no longer suffered from insomnia, he often asked him to make some soup to drink.
The next day, Si Haochen got up early to go to court.
Mingruo frowned and opened her eyelids: "Why did you get up so early?"
"Well..." Si Haochen thought about what his wife usually said, "Go to work."
"Pfft, cough..." Mingruo rubbed her eyes, "Why didn't you tell me yesterday? I can prepare some snacks for you to take with you."
"I returned to Beijing yesterday, and I will definitely have to go to court today. I'm sorry I didn't tell you, but you don't have common sense." Si Haochen tucked his wife under the quilt. He was tired from the journey yesterday, so he couldn't bear to bother her with such small things.
Where's the girl?
"Who knows who is hungry... Just suffer it if you don't tell me..." Ming Ruo turned over and decided to continue the meeting with Zhou Gong.
"Go to sleep, I'll come back next morning and take you into the palace." Si Haochen stood up and changed his clothes.
"Okay." Mingruo responded and quickly fell asleep.
Si Haochen put on his clothes and walked slowly outside to wash up.
In the early morning, Si Haochen appeared in the Qinzheng Hall. When Emperor Danxu saw Si Haochen now, he would think of the 30 million taels he had squandered. All of this money was spent in Xunzhou. Asking Si Haochen to compensate him was
Impossible. Therefore, the more Emperor Danxu thought about it, the more his blood pressure soared.
"Where is Yushi Zhongcheng Zhao Youlai?" Emperor Danxu thought. Although Si Haochen went to Xikang and Xunzhou to provide disaster relief and did a good job, he could not say anything. But Yushi Zhongcheng could refer to his book "Good at Making Advice"
of.
The imperial censor could only say: "Zhao Zhongcheng has taken leave due to illness."
Emperor Danxu was very angry when he heard about the leave. Just when he was being used, he fell ill. One or two of them said: "You can be sick for a few days when you go out on errands. This body is not good. Too much
The hospital sent two imperial doctors to take a look. If your health is really not good, you should retire and return to your hometown."
The courtiers still don't know about the 'big things' that His Highness Prince Yun has done, and they don't know where the emperor's nameless anger comes from. In short, the emperor is not in a good mood today. If there is nothing urgent, don't talk too much to avoid going astray.
There is no way to redress the injustice.
Therefore, today's court will be particularly calm. Except for a few things the emperor asked about, no minister took the initiative to shoot.
"When there is something going on, we will start playing, but when there is nothing going on, we will leave the court..." the prince sang loudly.
There was silence under the Danqi. Si Haochen rolled his eyes. Isn't there no one at the Yushitai to participate in him? Then... let them not be able to participate in the future.
Si Haochen took a step forward: "My brother, I have something to report."
Emperor Danxu's eyelids twitched, and he jumped out again to do something: "What's the matter?"
Si Haochen sent himself as an envoy to Xikang and agreed that the two countries would set up a foray in the border town. Now the border town area is unprecedentedly prosperous and peaceful. Then, he passed through the south of the Yangtze River on his way back and took the order to Xunzhou to provide disaster relief. He won the Umbrella of the People and all kinds of things... He said it all in the court
.
When Emperor Danxu heard that the 'Umbrella of All Peoples' had come out, he had no choice but to clenched his molars and praised Prince Yun.
Si Haochen smiled slightly: "Shaking your Majesty's worries and serving the court is what I should do."
Emperor Danxu's blood pressure reached his forehead, and he winked at the prince.
The prince didn't recognize Zhang Jinliang's eyes as well as him, so he reacted for a while before saying: "Retreat from the court..."
All the civil and military officials bowed to see Emperor Danxu off. When everyone saw that the emperor was gone, they dispersed. The princes were ordered to find the left prime minister, the right prime minister, and Ping Nanhou, saying that the emperor asked them to go to the imperial study room to discuss matters.
These people are all human beings. They noticed that there was something strange about this morning, and they braced themselves to face the unknown challenge.
"His Royal Highness Prince Yun, Wan'an." A young eunuch came forward to say hello, "The Supreme Emperor invites you to Kuntai Hall.
Si Haochen recognized that this young eunuch was from Kuntai Palace, but it was Eunuch Hai who usually sent him messages: "Where is Eunuch Hai?"
"Eunuch Hai went to Prince Yun's Mansion to pick up the princess. The Supreme Emperor asked me to ask you to wait at Kuntai Hall first."
"Yeah." Si Haochen was very familiar with Kuntai Hall, so he went straight to Kuntai Hall without the eunuch leading the way.
When he walked into the main hall, he saw the Supreme Emperor sitting there with a serious look on his face.
Si Haochen walked in unsteadily: "Didn't you sleep well last night? The dark circles under his eyes have reached to his cheekbones."
"Look at this." The Supreme Emperor threw a secret letter to Si Haochen.
Si Haochen took out the letter from the envelope. This... the Emperor was very efficient in doing things. The cook who was transferred from the imperial kitchen to make soup for the Emperor was actually related to the fifth prince.
Si Haochen put the secret letter on the coffee table: "It's not difficult for him to arrange for someone to enter the palace, but this person's methods are so clever. He can do it under the eyes of the imperial doctor and the poison-testing eunuch. He is definitely not an ordinary person."
"Hmm." The Supreme Emperor also felt that it was unlikely that Lao Wu would have such a master. After all, his mother-in-law was a dancer, so he basically had no maternal clan to rely on.
"Princess Yunqin has arrived." The little eunuch came to announce.
"Please come in." The Emperor said.
Si Haochen went out to pick up his wife in person: "Have you had breakfast?"
"I've used it." Mingruo entered the main hall and saluted the Supreme Emperor to greet him.
The Supreme Emperor was a little lost in thought. When he saw Mingruo saluting, he immediately said: "No need to be polite, get up quickly."
Mingruo took the food box from Aunt Dong: "Here are some of your favorite snacks, all freshly made in the morning."
"You are thoughtful and know that the food here is not good to eat."
"Let me take a safe pulse for you first." Mingruo took out the pulse pillow from the medical bag.
The Supreme Emperor put his wrist on the pulse pillow, Ming Ruo took his wrist pulse and examined it carefully.
Seeing that Mingruo remained silent, the Supreme Emperor spoke nervously: "What's the matter?"
Mingruo motioned to the Supreme Emperor to switch to the other hand: "At present, the problem is not big. I will give you a prescription to cleanse your body. You will be fine after taking it for a month."
"Medicine?" The expression on the Emperor's face was a bit hard to explain.
Mingruo didn't expect that such a powerful and domineering old man would be afraid of taking medicine: "Acupuncture can also be used."
"Ahem..." Si Haochen was amused by his daughter-in-law. All the imperial doctors in the palace knew that the Emperor didn't like acupuncture first and that he didn't like taking medicine. Every time he saw the Emperor, the physicians wanted to bang their heads against the wall.
Mingruo looked at Si Haochen in confusion: "What's wrong?"
"Is there any other way?" asked the Supreme Emperor.
"This... really doesn't happen..." Traditional Chinese medicine is either acupuncture or medicine. This trivial matter will not lead to dialysis for you.
