Even the fastest and most majestic goshawk takes a full eighteen days to fly from the capital of Dashun to the ancient Shu palace.【∞八【∞八【∞Read【∞书,︾o＠
During these eighteen days, the situation in the capital stabilized for a time. Because of the Chinese New Year, Emperor Tianwu sealed his seal and did not go to court, so the holiday was postponed again and again until the sixteenth day of the first lunar month. So
During these days, people were relatively leisurely, and no one entered the palace, so the excitement in the palace also became quiet.
Concubine Yuan Gui and Emperor Tianwu were so in love that they stayed together all day long, walking around the palace from time to time without any trouble. The eighth prince Xuan Tianmo, on the other hand, stayed with her all day long on the grounds of taking care of his health.
In Prince Sheng's Mansion, he told the public that he had an allergic reaction to food and would not be able to see guests for a short period of time.
People have some doubts about the condition of the Eighth Prince. People all remember how the Eighth Prince suddenly fell ill at the palace banquet on the first day of the Lunar New Year. Some even remember that his legs were clamped tightly, like
It was twisting constantly, and it was extremely painful. But no one knew what the symptoms of allergies were. Someone asked the doctor quietly, and the doctor also said that allergies can manifest anywhere, but as long as they are no longer present,
If you come into contact with something you are allergic to, it can be cured after a period of time. Everyone in the Eighth Prince Party felt relieved.
Feng Yuheng did not go into the palace to nurse Concubine Yuan Gui back to health. Concubine Yuan Gui herself visited all the doctors in the imperial hospital. Everyone prescribed her a lot of prescriptions for her "desire to have a child". She spent the whole day
Drinking the bitter medicine also makes me feel upset.
Emperor Tianwu advised her: "It's better to let the old ninth daughter-in-law come into the palace to help you with the treatment? Her medical skills are still good, and those old guys in the Imperial Hospital are not as good as her. Look at these things you drink every day, I'm watching
It’s all bitter. I’ve heard that my wife, the ninth daughter-in-law, has that kind of medicine in tablet form. It’s not bitter and you won’t suffer any pain when you take it.”
But how could Concubine Yuan Gui dare to let Feng Yu Heng enter the palace? She has been flustered since the last time Feng Yu Heng left. Coupled with the eighth prince's illness, her heart has never been able to raise her heart.
She had put it down. Now Emperor Tianwu brought up this issue again, she simply expressed her thoughts: "Your Majesty, after all, Princess Yu is the person close to His Highness Ninth Prince. You also know that His Highness Ninth Prince has always coveted the throne. Let her
It is always unjustifiable to enter the palace to nurse my concubine back to health."
"Lao Jiu covets the throne?" Emperor Tianwu frowned and snorted coldly, "It's useless to covet anyone. I have already made up my mind to pass the throne to Mo'er, and I can't tolerate him worrying about it." After saying that, he sighed again.
He said in a tone: "Mo'er hasn't been to the palace for some days, and I don't know if his allergy is getting better."
Concubine Yuan Gui also sighed and said: "I am also worried all day long, and I can't sleep well at night."
"I can see it." He stroked Concubine Yuan Gui with his big hand, "Seeing you getting haggard day by day, I feel sorry for you, so be it! I allow you to leave the palace, and you can go to Prince Sheng's Mansion to see Mo'er in person, so you don't have to wait all the time.
I'm thinking of it. I also want to know about Mo'er's situation. You can come back and talk to me after seeing it."
"Your Majesty, is your concubine allowed to leave the palace to see the emperor?" Concubine Yuan Gui was very happy. Concubines in the palace are not allowed to leave the palace unless they have permission from the emperor, but generally speaking, such permission is too rare. Concubine Yuan Gui also wants to see Xuan Gui.
Tian Mo, asked him how his condition was, but she couldn't get out, and Xuan Tianmo never came in. She was really anxious these days. Emperor Tianwu actually granted this favor today, and she was so happy that she quickly knelt down.
He came down and kowtowed three times to Emperor Tianwu.
Emperor Tianwu helped her up, put his cloak on her personally, and asked his personal eunuch Wu Ying to accompany her. Then he watched Concubine Yuan Gui leave Zhaohe Hall, and suddenly said: "Xiao Yuanzi
, come and walk with me.”
After finishing speaking, he waited for a moment, but no one answered. He was stunned, a little confused as to why he had called out such a sentence, and who was Xiao Yuanzi? For a moment, his mind was a little confused.
A young eunuch who was waiting in the palace came up and stood beside Emperor Tianwu with his hands down, waiting quietly for instructions. After a long while, Emperor Tianwu finally said: "Come with me for a walk outside. The charcoal fire in this palace is
It's burning so hard that it gives me a headache."
The emperor said that he wanted to go out for a walk, and it was necessary to have people following him. In an instant, all the people waiting in Zhaohe Palace followed him, both near and far, with great momentum.
Emperor Tianwu didn't stop him when he arrived, he just walked in front with his hands behind his back, taking long strides and paying no attention to anyone.
He wandered aimlessly, but it was nothing more than walking around the palace. He walked from the Zhaohe Hall to the harem, then from the harem into the garden, then walked out of the garden, and walked around the ice lake.
This journey lasted for nearly an hour, and the palace attendant who followed couldn't help but remind him: "Your Majesty, it's cold outside, let's go back!"
Emperor Tianwu said nothing and just kept walking on the path with his head lowered. But in fact, he was thinking about what was going on with the hazy feeling that he occasionally had in recent days? Right now.
When Concubine Yuan Gui was not around, he discovered something. When Concubine Yuan Gui was not around, he was particularly prone to thinking about things in the palace and how he lived in the past. Why did he feel that he had forgotten many things?
What? I also think about what Concubine Yuan Gui said just now, that the Ninth Prince also wants the throne. These messy thoughts only arise in him after Concubine Yuan Gui leaves, and as soon as Concubine Yuan Gui returns to his side, he will be filled with happiness
Feelings would follow, making him feel that Concubine Yuan Gui was the best person in the world, and that the Eighth Prince was the one he sincerely wanted to pass on to the throne.
Emperor Tianwu felt that he was sick, and he had a disease that could not be separated from Concubine Yuan Gui. He was really lucky to have such a concubine by his side! Otherwise, no one could cure his disease, and he would be suffering from it all day long.
As he is now, wandering around like a headless fly, he always feels that he has no foundation at all. When he says some affectionate words, he is like a duckweed with no roots and no idea where to lean.
When he walked around a small garden again, Emperor Tianwu stopped, looked at the thick snow in the garden, and suddenly murmured: "Am I really too old to die? This must be Alzheimer's disease, right?"
After he finished speaking, he was stunned for a moment, Alzheimer's disease? Where did he learn this? In his memory, someone seemed to have said this word to him, but he couldn't remember who said it to him.
The little eunuch beside him didn't understand what he said, so he asked hurriedly: "Is there something wrong, Your Majesty?"
Emperor Tianwu waved his hands and was about to say it was okay. At this moment, he saw someone walking towards him from the other end of the path. He was dressed as a eunuch and kept his head lowered. It was not until he got closer that he realized there was someone in front of him.
When he looked up and saw himself, he couldn't help but be startled. Then he lowered his head again, stepped forward respectfully, knelt down, and said, "I'm going to kowtow to the emperor! I didn't know that the emperor was here. I disturbed the emperor. Please forgive me."
Emperor Tianwu looked at this man and shouted blankly: "Zhang Yuan? Why are you here?" Then he subconsciously added: "It's so cold on the ground! What are you kneeling for?" But after saying that, he suddenly
After thinking about it, shouldn't slaves kneel down when they see him? So many people have knelt down, so why should he worry about this little eunuch catching a cold? He wanted to change his mind, but it didn't matter. He just felt that he had seen this little eunuch before.
He didn't seem to have to kneel down. He didn't know where this idea came from, which surprised him very much.
After hearing these words, the kneeling man felt sour in his heart. However, Zhang Yuan was already afraid of the sourness and no longer dared to be presumptuous in front of Emperor Tianwu. He knew that the current emperor was no longer the same as he had been since he was a child.
Although the person he had served was the same on the outside, everything had changed on the inside. He was very likely to be sent to the Sin Slave Department again, and that place was something he never wanted to go to again in his life. During those days, he was afraid that he would become
The most terrifying memory of his life.
"Your Majesty, I'm not afraid of the cold. I just kneel down." He spoke respectfully and carefully, never raising his head. The unfamiliarity in his words was completely different from that of Zhang Yuan before. Emperor Tianwu looked at this
The little eunuch began to be in a trance again, and began to feel that he had really forgotten many important things.
The two of them just knelt and stood in silence for a long time. After a long time, Emperor Tianwu sighed heavily and said to himself: "I am old. Many people don't remember many things. I always think that you are a slave.
It's very kind and familiar, but I just can't remember why I feel this way. I've forgotten everything before, I've forgotten it!" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to give Zhang Yuan a soft hand.
Then he said: "Get up! Go and do your errands. I want to be alone for a while."
Zhang Yuan kowtowed to Emperor Tianwu respectfully and cautiously, and said, "I leave you." Then he stood up, took a few steps back, turned around and left. △≧△≧,
Emperor Tianwu subconsciously shouted again: "Xiao Yuanzi!" As soon as he said this name, he immediately thought that Zhang Yuan had called him Xiao Yuanzi before! He finally remembered who Xiao Yuanzi was, but...
What's the use of remembering it? Apart from this title, the most he could remember was that Zhang Yuan had indeed served him for a period of time, but no matter how much, he had no impression. It was like there was a rag in his mind.
As soon as he remembered something, someone waved a rag to wipe it away, making him forget it as soon as he remembered it.
But who is the person waving the rag?
He was endlessly entangled, but Zhang Yuan stopped when he heard the sound of Xiao Yuanzi, and finally raised his head and glanced at Emperor Tianwu, but just this glance made him burst into tears, and he could no longer control it.
When Emperor Tianwu saw it, he was even more puzzled. He asked blankly: "Why are you crying? Why are you crying when you see me? Did I scare you?"
Zhang Yuan shook his head, took a step back, and said nothing.
When Emperor Tianwu saw him retreating, he unconsciously took a step forward. He always had the urge to persuade the little eunuch to stop crying, because he cried and made himself feel uncomfortable and a little distressed, just like seeing his own child.
It's like crying in front of you, always wanting to go up and comfort you. But for an emperor to comfort an eunuch, isn't it too strange?
At this moment, suddenly behind Emperor Tianwu, the queen's voice rang out - "Zhang Yuan is now my concubine's slave. Your Majesty, since the past has been forgotten, then... just let him go."
