Chapter 107

After summer, the time when Chen Jingzong returned home was the same as in winter, but the sky was only dim, not yet completely dark.

The gatekeeper of Chen's mansion had already become alert. Seeing him approaching, he took the initiative to report: "My son-in-law, the princess has returned to the mansion."

Chen Jingzong nodded lightly, behind him Fugui squinted and smiled, although it didn't matter to him whether the princess came back or not, but the master didn't miss out, so he was also happy.

Si Yitang.

Chen Jingzong took a quick shower and came to the backyard.

Chaoyun's maidservants were very quiet. Seeing the son-in-law, Chaoyun whispered, "The princess is asleep."

Chen Jingzong thought she had gone to bed early, and when he stepped into the inner room, he found her lying on the couch with a book beside her.

She should have wanted to wait for him, but she was sleepy, and she didn't notice it, so she just fell asleep.

Chen Jingzong stood by the couch and watched for a while, then retreated to the main room, and asked Chaoyun and Chaoyue who lived with her in the palace a few days ago: "How is the princess sleeping these few nights, did you have any nightmares at night?"

Chao Yun: "I didn't hear the princess talking about having a nightmare, but I didn't know why I slept for a long time this morning, and I didn't wake up until noon."

Chaoyue: "Maybe it's because I played chess with the emperor for more than an hour last night, and I'm exhausted."

Chen Jingzong even suspected that she was still haunted by nightmares, but the maids were keeping watch the next time, and if she cried secretly, it was difficult for the maids to hear through a door.

But if this is the case, she is a princess, why didn't she ask the imperial doctor to see her?

Back in the next room, Chen Jingzong went to the bed, picked her up carefully, and planned to put her on the bed in the inner room to sleep.

Just as he exerted his strength, Hua Yang woke up.

Chen Jingzong saw that there were thin bloodshot eyes in her eyes, even if she laughed, she couldn't hide the haggardness caused by lack of sleep.

"Did you ask the doctor to see it?"

Before she could speak, Chen Jingzong asked first.

Hua Yang nodded: "Look, it's all right, and I haven't had any nightmares in the past few nights."

Chen Jingzong patted her head.

He also asked Chaoyun Chaoyue the same question, knowing that she never invited an imperial physician after entering the palace.

Did he not take his own body seriously at all, or was he afraid that the emperor, including him, would be too worried, so he just took it by himself?

"Have you not eaten yet?" Hua Yang looked at the sky outside the window and asked in response.

Chen Jingzong: "Well, why don't you go to sleep in it first?"

Hua Yang was indeed very sleepy, he was worried the last few nights, but today his heart sank, and the feeling of indebtedness suddenly came to him.

Chen Jingzong still carried her in.

After he came out, he told Chaoyue: "Go to Deyuan Hall and ask Mr. Wang to come, and he said that I sprained my foot."

Chaoyue's heart tightened, seeing that it was getting dark, she didn't care about the injury of the son-in-law's foot, so she hurried out and arranged for the servant to run errands.

Chen Jingzong was halfway through the meal, and Mrs. Sun came over in person. After all, there was a servant at Si Yitang who ran out to invite the doctor, and the concierge must report it to the old lady.

Chen Jingzong went to see his mother in the front yard.

Sun said worriedly: "Could it be that the princess is sick?"

Chen Jingzong pointed to his left foot: "It's me. I seemed to have twisted my foot when I got off the horse just now, and it has been aching."

After hearing this, Mrs. Sun breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Jingzong: ...

Although he was pretending, but mother's face changed too quickly, anyway, he is also a real son!

Of course, Mrs. Sun also cared about her son, but his son was tall and big, and he didn't look like he was twisted just now, so it's no wonder she was anxious.

After asking a few words, Mrs. Sun left.

Chen Tingjian stood in the courtyard of Chunhetang with his hands behind his back. After hearing his wife's explanation, he also had a similar expression, and the couple went in to rest together.

After getting into bed, Sun hesitated and said, "Should we wait a little longer and listen to what the doctor has to say?"

Chen Tingjian was confident: "He has practiced martial arts for so many years, no matter how badly he can twist when he dismounts, it will be almost enough to apply some bruises."

Si Yitang, when Mr. Wang brought the medicine boy over, night had already fallen.

Chen Jingzong first exposed his ankle that had just been rubbed red, and asked Mr. Wang to check it.

Mr. Wang touched and asked, but he didn't see any problem, but he still opened a pair of Dieda San.

Chen Jingzong said politely: "Since I have bothered you to make this trip all the time, why don't you feel the pulse of the princess, and I had three nightmares this month, but the princess is afraid that the emperor will be worried, so I don't want to say anything about it."

Mr. Wang's heart skipped a beat.

In March, the princess suffered from nightmares for a long time, and the emperor announced them, these famous folk doctors, into the palace. Mr. Wang also took the pulse for the princess at that time. The princess, who is so precious and precious, has suffered from her old illness again?

"Then the old man will take the pulse for the princess first."

Chen Jingzong nodded and led him into the inner room.

There are two layers of veils inside the Babu bed. Chaoyun and Chaoyue have already finished the preparations. One kneels on the head of the bed to prevent the princess from waking up, and the other kneels outside the inner veil, looking after the princess's outstretched right arm.

Wang Lao Lang didn't dare to look around, walked in with his head down, knelt down and took the princess's pulse.

It doesn't take long to get the pulse. After returning to the main room, Mr. Wang said to Chen Jingzong: "Princess's pulse is calm and gentle, only a little floating. According to the old man, it is not a serious problem. If you can ensure enough sleep, you can take a day or two."It will be back to normal in a few days. If the son-in-law trusts the old man, don't let the princess take the medicine for now, and observe it for a few more days."

Chen Jingzong said hello, and sent him out politely.

When he lay beside Hua Yang, listening to her regular and long breathing, he hoped that she could sleep soundly all night, but was afraid that she would wake up in the middle of the night.

This time, it was Chen Jingzong who didn't sleep well, and would wake up every two hours to observe her.

Hua Yang slept until dawn, and when he woke up, he was surprised to find that Chen Jingzong was still there.

"Why didn't you go to the guard?" She asked suspiciously.

Chen Jingzong moved closer and stared into her eyes.

There was a trace of sleepiness in those clear and bright eyes, but they were dry and clear in black and white, without any trace of blood.

Hua Yang looked at him inexplicably.

Seeing her ruddy complexion and energetic eyes, Chen Jingzong finally believed Mr. Wang's words completely.

After washing up, he left without saying anything.

Only then did the four maidservants have the opportunity to tell the princess what happened last night.

Chao Yun grinned, "The son-in-law is worried that you are sick, so he pretended that his foot hurts and invited the doctor."

Hua Yang didn't notice it at all, which shows how soundly she slept last night!

After she had breakfast, Mrs. Sun came, still wanting to make sure that the princess was safe and well, and then Mrs. Sun saw a princess who was as bright as a peony blossom.

In the evening, when Chen Jingzong returned to the mansion, he met his mother who was strolling near the gate at the right time.

Sun looked at his feet: "Does it still hurt?"

Chen Jingzong smiled: "I'll be fine in the morning."

Sun left with satisfaction.

Chen Jingzong went back to Si Yitang, saw Hua Yang again, and found that she was wearing a lotus blue beanie with a lighter tube top inside, which was vivid, like a lotus flower out of water, which made people feel relieved from the summer heat.

The dinner prepared in the kitchen tonight is also very rich and delicious, and there is a plate of freshly washed big red lychees with water droplets.

"This is just rewarded by my father today." Hua Yang leaned on the satin cushion, looked at the litchi and said.

Chen Jingzong had no interest in Lizhi, he just stared at her: "You seem to be in a good mood today."

Hua Yang: "I had a good dream last night."

Chen Jingzong: "What a good dream?"

Hua Yang smiled, and said to the book in his hand: "I dreamed that an old fairy tapped me while I was asleep, and said that he would keep me safe from illness and disaster in the future."

Chen Jingzong could feel her satisfaction with the medical treatment.

What kind of princess is this?

Obviously she could use an imperial doctor in the palace, but she insisted on not using it, saying that she didn't value nightmares, and she was very happy that he invited a famous doctor.

Chen Jingzong was still dissatisfied with her delay for so long, and picked on what she didn't like to hear, saying: "This old fairy is really unscrupulous, I will go to order you in the middle of the night."

Hua Yang: ...

She was clearly giving him a chance to claim credit, so why did he deliberately piss people off?

Chen Jingzong picked up a piece of spare ribs and put them in his mouth. The brittle bones on it were easily crushed by him.

Hua Yang ignored him.

After Chen Jingzong finished his meal, he began to peel the lychee. The lychee shell was hard and a bit prickly, but the lychee meat inside was fresh and tender.

"This lychee looks like you." He picked up a lychee and said to Huayang.

Hua Yang raised his eyes, and his eyes wandered between him and the litchi: "What do you mean?"

Chen Jingzong smiled without saying a word.

Hua Yang guessed that it was not a serious example, so he didn't ask again.

After entering the Babu bed, Chen Jingzong held Hua Yang in his arms, kissed her and said, "Your princess's temper is like a lychee shell, and people are like lychee flesh."

Hua Yang: "...I am Lychee, what are you?"

Chen Jingzong lifted the hem of her middle coat: "Of course she is the one who peels the lychees."

palace.

Emperor Jingshun was not an emperor who liked going to court. If there was no major event, he would only hold court meetings on the first and fifteenth days of each month.

It seems lazy, but he has a late emperor who has not been in court for more than 20 years. Comparing father and son, he went to court almost every day when he first came to the throne.Very diligent emperor!

However, deep down in his heart, Emperor Jingshun didn't even want to attend these two court meetings, especially now that it was scorching heat, he just wanted to stay in the hall with the ice tripods!

"Your Majesty, lie down for a while."

The young beauty stretched out her lotus arms and encircled Emperor Jingshun's waist from behind.

Emperor Jingshun sighed, he had been awake for a quarter of an hour, and he finally forced himself to get up!

After getting up, Emperor Jingshun pushed aside the beauty and called Eunuch Ma to come in to serve him.

The beauty shyly hid under the quilt.

Emperor Jingshun went to court with three steps and one sigh.

It's cool in the hall, but the constant buzzing of the ministers is more disturbing than the chirping of cicadas in the treetops.

Emperor Jingshun really wanted to sleep in the dragon chair, but his back almost touched the back of the dragon chair. Chen Tingjian, who was standing in front of all civil and military officials, suddenly coughed.

Emperor Jingshun suddenly woke up and went to look at Chen Tingjian, who had lowered his eyes.

Emperor Jing Shun knew that the Chief-of-Staff had noticed his disrespect, so he had no choice but to continue to hold on.

But the ministers could all see that the emperor was sleepy, so they didn't expose it.

The court meeting lasted for more than an hour and finally came to an end.

All the officials bowed their heads and sent the emperor off in unison.

Emperor Jingshun liked to hear this sentence the most, and stood up from the seat with his hands on the armrest of the dragon chair.

However, the moment the body stood up straight, there seemed to be a sudden heat surge in the head, and the officials in the hall in front of them were also spinning.

The downcast civil and military officials suddenly heard a "pop", and the next moment, it was Eunuch Ma's scream!

Everyone looked up suddenly, only to see that Emperor Jing Shun's chin, beard and chest were covered in blood, and he was tilted into Eunuch Ma's arms!

"emperor!"

The ministers swarmed forward, and the Inner Pavilion headed by Chen Tingjian occupied the fastest position and ran fastest. Chen Jingzong and Qi Jin were young and vigorous and had no scruples as royal relatives, so they quickly surpassed other civil servants.

Eunuch Ma was already sitting on the ground with Emperor Jingshun in his arms. He was trembling all over, tears streaming down his face.

Emperor Jingshun was still vomiting blood from his mouth.

He didn't know why he was like this, but he knew that he couldn't do it.

At the juncture of life and death, Emperor Jingshun remembered three things.

He held Chen Tingjian's hand tightly: "Pass down my will, after I leave, the crown prince will succeed."

Except for Chen Tingjian and other court elders crying and looking at the emperor, except for Chen Jingzong and Qi Jin kneeling beside him solemnly, all the other ministers knelt and kowtowed.

"The second thing is that the prince is still young, and he still needs to rely on his master's guidance and assistance. All important matters are entrusted to the Inner Pavilion."

Emperor Jingshun said this sentence to Chen Tingjian.

Chen Tingjian choked up and responded.

Emperor Jingshun's gaze finally fell on Chen Jingzong's face. His eyes were full of bitterness, and he said with difficulty: "I missed the appointment, you have to take good care of it..."

Emperor Jingshun only made a gasp sound for the word "panpan".

Before Chen Jingzong could respond, the brilliance in the emperor's eyes dimmed suddenly.

In the summer of the 23rd year of Jingshun, on the first day of June, the emperor died in the court.
