Xiyao said: "You are already six months pregnant. It's better to have the baby in the Wenhua Palace. I'll wait for Shi to accompany me." After saying that, he went out and sat on the steps and headed towards the Qianqing Palace.
When she arrived at Qianqing Palace, it was already completely dark. Previously, Yunxi was worried about Lao Zhu's body and ordered two imperial doctors to stay in the palace every day in the name of helping Xiyao's fetus. In the palace to the north of Wenhua Palace. So at this time, the two imperial doctors had arrived at Qianqing Palace to diagnose Lao Zhu's pulse.
Xiyao got off the steps and walked in slowly. People along the way were surprised and saluted immediately after seeing her.
Xiyao walked slowly to the place where Lao Zhu was placed, and said to Imperial Physician Liu Chun who had just checked his pulse: "Physician Liu, how is your Majesty's illness?" Yun Wen and others also looked at Liu Chun with bated breath.
Liu Chun and another imperial doctor looked at each other for a few moments, and then said: "My dear concubine, your majesty's illness actually started in March when King Gong of Jin passed away. After that, your majesty became depressed and has not been completely relieved. This After a few days, the evil spirit invaded my brain again, and I have no way to save myself. Perhaps Zhang Yuanping and Li Guoshou still have some way to do it."
Xiyao Rao was already mentally prepared, but she was also startled. She calmed down and said, "How many more days do we have left?"
Liu Chun said: "If I try my best, I will still have five days to spare; if Li Guo's skills are good, he may be able to survive even longer."
At this time, Concubine Guo Ning rushed to Qianqing Palace. Xiyao immediately told Concubine Guo Ning about the situation here. Concubine Guo Ning had no time to ask other questions. After listening to Xiyao's words, she immediately said: "Everything has to do with treating Your Majesty." Everyone who has nothing to do with the matter should get out!" Even Yunwen was kicked out.
Then Concubine Guo Ning made arrangements one by one, and the Qianqing Palace became orderly again. Then she said to Xiyao: "Master Xue, you are about to give birth. Be careful if the illness affects the child here. Go back, I'm here."
Xiyao actually doesn't trust Concubine Guo Ning very much. Normally Concubine Guo Ning can be trusted, but it's hard to say at this time. However, Xiyao is indeed pregnant and is about to give birth, so she really doesn't have time to take care of Qianqing Palace.
Xiyao thought for a moment and said: "Then I'll trouble you, but now that His Highness the Grand Sun is away, I will be the concubine, and I will be filial to him. But now I don't have the time. My personal female official is waiting for a poem, I have grown up with my concubine since I was a child and can be considered my sister, so I will let her stay here and fulfill my filial piety on my behalf."
Of course Concubine Guo Ning understood what Xiyao was thinking, but he had no other ideas. Her biological son Zhu Tan, King of Luhuang, had died for many years, and her grandson was only ten years old, so it was impossible to win the throne, so she said: "Then Okay, just leave her here."
After a pause, Concubine Guo Ning continued: "The top priority right now is not only to treat His Majesty, but also to immediately inform His Majesty to let him come back. This matter should not be made public. It is best to choose the guards left by His Majesty Wenhua Palace to inform him. Your Highness."
Yunxi had already prepared for this matter, and deliberately left Li Bo in Beijing without taking him away. Xiyao said: "I know, I will have someone rush to the Sizhou ancestral mausoleum as soon as possible to inform His Highness."
Concubine Guo Ning nodded and said, "That's good, then you can go back and rest."
Xiyao bowed and left. When she walked back to the Wenhua Hall, Li Bo was already waiting at the door of Wenyuan Pavilion. Under normal circumstances, concubines in the inner palace are not allowed to meet with foreign men, but in urgent matters, Quan couldn't care anymore, and Xiyao said to Li Bo: "Li Bo, you're going to set off immediately and go to Sizhou to tell His Highness: Your Majesty, it's going to be bad."
Li Bo suppressed his surprise and said, "Yes, empress. I will leave immediately." Then he turned around and went out.
Xiyi came over and said, "Your Majesty, is it really true?"
Xiyao said: "If Your Majesty is okay, why would I ask Li Bo to inform His Majesty immediately? I am going here to know clearly how your Majesty is doing."
Xiyi looked very flustered and said, "Then what should we do?"
Xiyao said: "We have done everything we can, and the rest is waiting in the palace."
Early the next morning, Lao Zhu finally woke up. At this time, he also knew that he was afraid that he would not be able to survive this test, so he said to Concubine Guo Ning: "Immediately pass on my oral instructions, so that the founding Duke Chang will be temporarily promoted and lead the direct guard.
, patrolling the capital, and anyone who acts rashly will be killed. Fan Shurun, the commander of the Xuanjin Guards, went to the palace to see him, and Xue Ning, the commander of the Jinwu Guards, was the commander of the Jinyi Guards."
Concubine Guo Ning agreed one by one, and then asked the eunuch to deliver the decree. Lao Zhu then said: "Call Chen Xingshan, the concubine of the East Palace Zuo, and bring over all the memorials from the General Affairs Department."
Concubine Guo Ning said: "Your Majesty is already like this, and you still want to review the notes? Waiting for a few days until His Highness comes back won't delay much."
Lao Zhu said: "Do it immediately!"
Concubine Guo Ning did not dare to disobey, so she could only obey.
After a while, Chen Xingshan came to Qianqing Palace. Lao Zhu waited until he finished the ceremony and said slowly: "I know how Yunxi handles political affairs in Wenhua Palace."
Lao Zhu was definitely not satisfied with this method, and he once told Yunxi. However, although Yunxi always said that he wanted to change it in person, he always changed it a little bit, and then it was essentially the same. Lao Zhu later
Comforting yourself is the same as asking a bachelor from the Hanlin Academy to discuss political affairs, so that's it.
Lao Zhu rested for a while and said: "You are the head of the subordinate officials of the East Palace. In the past few days, you have been handling the documents in Qianqing Palace according to the methods of Wenhua Palace. You will only handle the very urgent ones, and then show them to me. With my permission,
Only then can it be issued.”
Chen Xingshan accepted the promise and then began to deal with the discount.
The reason why Lao Zhu only called Chen Xingshan here was not only because Chen Xingshan was the head of the officials in the East Palace, but also because he knew that Chen Xingshan was an upright man, respected Zhou etiquette, and was the most reliable to use. None of the other people, Lao Zhu, were the same.
So reassuring.
Lao Zhu thought for a while and gave a lot of instructions before he felt that there was nothing urgent to deal with. At this time, Xiyao, who learned that Lao Zhu had woken up, took her daughter Miner, sisters Xiyi and Ye
The concubine and Yunxi's eldest son Wenyao came to see Lao Zhu.
When Lao Zhu saw Xiyao, he suddenly remembered that it was time for Xiyao to give birth. After they finished the ceremony, he asked: "Ms. Xue, is it time for you to give birth?"
Xiyao said: "Grandpa Huang, it's almost these days. The imperial doctor said that the 28th of this month will be the official day."
Lao Zhu said with a smile: "Then grandpa must see this great grandson born!"
