After entering May, it was hot like a day, and Zhu Yunxuan fainted once due to heatstroke. After all, he followed the advice of the imperial doctor and moved to Beihai's other palace to escape the heat. The morning court was also changed to a small court every three days, and a large court on the fifteenth day, so that we could rest and recuperate.

Liang Zhen would come to see him every day and help him deal with those trivial matters. Zhu Yunxuan remained indifferent, and only spoke up when he talked about business affairs. Liang Zhen no longer forced him, but rather enjoyed this state of peaceful coexistence with Zhu Yunxuan.

On a scorching summer afternoon, the breeze blowing on the lake outside the window brought in a little coolness mixed with the fragrance of sweet flowers, Liang Zhen's pen paused slightly, and when he looked up, he could see that after the imperial case, his shoulders were straight and his eyebrows were slightly twisted. Looking at the emperor who read the sparse records, the sunlight quietly smeared on his handsome side face, just right to soften the coldness that was refusing to be thousands of miles away.

The person at the bottom brought up the sweet soup for relieving the heat. Today’s stew was Tremella and lotus seed soup, which was ice-cold. When it was served, there was still a hint of white air. Zhu Yunxuan’s expression finally relaxed a little, and he took the sweet soup. Liang Zhen looked at it, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but bring a smile.

He casually stirred the spoon, and said to Zhu Yunxuan, "The summer is hot, and the white fungus and lotus seed soup is cool and cool, so if your majesty likes it, you can use it more."

Zhu Yunxuan's expression was indifferent and he didn't answer, Liang Zhen didn't take it seriously, and added: "These lotus seeds were picked from the minister's village this morning, they are very fresh, not too sweet, and the taste is just right. "

There are also a lot of lotus seeds planted in this other palace, but for some reason it is not as good as Liang Zhen Zhuangzi, the lotus seeds are not full enough, either too raw or too ripe, and Liang Zhen always asks people to pick the best ones and send them Zhu Yunxuan is here, even if he does not accept this love.

Zhu Yunxuan looked at the pink and plump lotus seeds in the bowl, smelled the sweet fragrance lingering on the tip of his nose, and suddenly lost his appetite, put the bowl aside, and continued to review his subordinates' memorials.

The corners of Liang Zhen's lips raised slightly: "Is your majesty not eating it? It's not to your taste?"

Zhu Yunxuan's brows were all alienated, his eyes were slightly condensed, and he met Liang Zhen's smiling eyes, stopped for a moment, looked away, directly picked up the bowl, and quickly finished the soup.

He didn't want to dwell too much on these trivial matters with Liang Zhen, it was all meaningless.

In the afternoon, the Minister of Punishment came to report the matter, involving the Marquis of Anle. They did not dare to specialize, and asked His Majesty to decide.

"The Marquis of Anle condoned the servants of the house to kill the tenants in Zhuangzi and forcefully occupy the peasant girls. Seven or eight people have died. Those tenants were really angry and reported to the government office. If the matter involved the prince's house, the government office directly reported it to the Ministry of Justice. , the minister has sent someone to check, and if there is such a thing, how should I deal with it..."

"Marquis of Anle?" Zhu Yunxuan frowned slightly, glanced at Liang Zhen, and seeing that he looked calm and calm, as if not surprised at all, he knew that he must have already known the whole story.

The Minister of Punishment said: "Yes, it is indeed a tenant on the Zhuangzi of the Marquis of Anle."

Zhu Yunxuan's voice was cold: "The Marquis of Anle is really bold."

Fu turned to Liang Zhen again: "King Zhao thinks how to deal with this matter?"

Liang Zhen coughed lowly: "The minister's father does not dare to speak falsely."

Zhu Yunxuan looked at him quietly, Liang Zhen looked back calmly, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. After a while, Zhu Yunxuan looked away and said in a deep voice: "The Marquis of Anle condones the family members and wastes life, disregards the law and discipline, and robs them. Noble titles, confiscated family property, once the family property is compensated for the sufferer, the records are recorded, and all the family members of the marquis house involved in the case are dealt with in accordance with the law, in order to set an example."

The Minister of Punishment obviously did not expect that the emperor would directly issue a decree to seize the title, and he was stunned for a moment, and then he quickly took the order after he recovered.

After the people stepped back, Liang Zhen raised his eyebrows with a smile, and complimented Zhu Yunxuan: "Your Majesty really loves the people like a son, which is admirable."

Zhu Yunxuan said coldly: "The Marquis of Anle is the father of King Zhao anyway. King Zhao did not plead for him, but he went down the drain. If it spreads out, it is indeed unfilial, and he should be accused by thousands of people."

Liang Zhen didn't care: "I will take my father and uncles back to Zhuangzi for old age, which is already filial piety. As for the others, I never care about those false names, as long as your majesty knows that the minister is compelled to do it, and then say , this minister is also to eliminate harm for the people."

How could a group of illiterate rural tenants dare to go to the Gyeonggi government office to sue the masters and dignitaries, and how could they hear their sufferings so smoothly to the heavens? The so-called taking back Zhuangzi for retirement is just a rhetoric to the outside world. How he wants to torture those people in the future, who can say a word to the people next to him?

But Zhu Yunxuan didn't want to know this. Liang Zhen always said that he was pitiful, and he wanted to take revenge on those he hated, but who was not pitiful, would he cause less pain to others?

Zhu Yunxuan felt bitter in his heart, the hand holding the pen suddenly tightened, his abdomen felt like a pain, and it was hot and swollen as if being torn by something. During this period of time, he was always like this, with abdominal pain and fever, cramps in his hands and feet, and nausea from time to time. , these symptoms seem to remind him all the time that there is something in his stomach that he is not willing to face.

Seeing that Zhu Yunxuan's face suddenly changed, and the cold sweat on his forehead seemed to come out, Liang Zhen instantly restrained his smile, and stepped forward to wave Gao An and hug him.

Zhu Yunxuan clenched his teeth and did not want to show his cowardice. Liang Zhen hugged his body, which was almost trembling with pain. He panicked and turned back and yelled at Gao An: "Why don't you pass on the imperial doctor soon! Are you dead?!"

No wonder Liang Zhen is so nervous. Although Zhu Yunxuan often has discomfort these days, he has been trying his best to endure it and not show it in front of others, especially Liang Zhen. Fortunately, the attacks are usually not severe during the day, but they are more tossed at night. If it wasn't so painful that he couldn't bear it, he would be bluntly carrying it. Liang Zhen knew that he was annoyed at himself, and he hadn't stayed with him for a long time, so naturally he didn't know this. This was the first time he saw Zhu Yunxuan feel so uncomfortable.

Gao An was also in a hurry, he turned around and ran outside as soon as he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet.

When Imperial Physician Fang hurried over, Zhu Yunxuan had already fainted from the pain and woke up again, covered in sweat as if he had been pulled out of water. The old doctor knelt down beside him to check his pulse, Liang Zhen stared at him, his face very ugly.

After a while, Imperial Physician Fang replied cautiously: "Your Majesty has been eating too cold for the past two days. Even if it is hot in summer, you have to be more careful. You can't be greedy for the cold. This minister should prescribe some anti-abortion pills."

Zhu Yunxuan's face was as white as paper, and he closed his eyes tiredly.

Liang Zhen couldn't help frowning: "Can't you eat anything that's cold?"

"Naturally it is impossible. Now that Your Majesty has... a body, this time is different from the past, so you have to be careful."

Liang Zhen was speechless for a while. He really had no experience in how to take care of a pregnant person, but he was self-defeating.

Imperial Physician Fang retreated to the side hall to prescribe the prescription, settled Zhu Yunxuan to rest, Liang Zhen got up and went outside, and glanced at Gao An before leaving. Gao An hesitated to look at Zhu Yunxuan, and seeing that he had closed his eyes, he had to follow him out.

Liang Zhen absently flipped through Zhu Yunxuan's brush-practice paintings on the imperial case, and felt that the landscapes painted by the little emperor had an inexplicable feeling of loneliness and desolation, and he was a little surprised for a while.

Gao Anli remained silent. After a while, Liang Zhen retracted his thoughts and asked him in a deep voice, "Does your majesty often suffer from such unbearable abdominal pain?"

"Yes... It's usually at night, when His Majesty doesn't let the imperial physician pass, he always carries it."

Hearing this, Liang Zhen's brows twitched tightly: "Apart from this? Will there be any other discomfort?"

"Your Majesty has nightmares every night, sweating all over, dizziness and fatigue are common..." Gao An knew that he should not tell Liang Zhen about this, but Zhu Yunxuan's condition was really worrying, and he couldn't tell the people next to him, he could only send I hope that Yu Liangzhen can persuade His Majesty to let the imperial doctor diagnose and treat.

Liang Zhen's brows furrowed even tighter. After Fang Tai doctor prescribed the medicine, Fang Zheng came to report back. Liang Zhen asked Gao An to explain Zhu Yunxuan's condition in detail, and hesitantly asked, "Why is this happening, Your Majesty? Why is it only because of pregnancy? Such a big reaction?"

Fang Taiyi answered him cautiously: "It is so difficult for a man to get pregnant, and it will be even more difficult if he is in a bad mood. The lower official has already added a few herbs to calm the mind, so he can only pay more attention and persuade Your Majesty not to worry. If you think too much, don’t get angry easily, and you will feel better when you are calm and peaceful.”

Liang Zhen lightly closed his eyes and lowered his voice: "This king knows."

It wasn't until nightfall that Zhu Yunxuan woke up in a daze, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Liang Zhen leaning on the side with a book in his hand. Hearing the movement, Liang Zhen's eyes moved over, he raised his hand to touch his still pale cheeks, Zhu Yunxuan turned his head subconsciously and avoided.

Liang Zhen asked him softly: "Is Your Majesty hungry? The minister asked someone to pass the meal?"

Zhu Yunxuan did not answer, but Liang Zhen pretended that he agreed and ordered a meal. Zhu Yunxuan was unwell, and all Liang Zhen ordered people to serve were nourishing clear porridge. He did not let Zhu Yunxuan get up, but only let him lean on the head of the bed, scooped a spoonful, and fed it to his mouth with his own hands.

Zhu Yunxuan took it numbly, Liang Zhen fed him and ate, no longer resisting, as if he didn't care about anything.

Even after Liang Zhen said he wanted to stay, Zhu Yunxuan just frowned slightly and didn't say much.

When he was hugged by Liang Zhen from behind, Zhu Yunxuan shrank subconsciously, which was his most instinctive reaction. He was afraid.

Liang Zhen patted his waist lightly: "I don't do anything, Your Majesty, go to sleep."

Being hugged by Liang Zhen and lying down, Zhu Yunxuan tensed up all over his body, and clenched his fists secretly with his back to Liang Zhen. Liang Zhen really did nothing but patted his waist again and again, trying to appease him.

Zhu Yunxuan closed his eyes, and his body gradually relaxed, but the alertness and vigilance in his heart did not ease by half, and even his breathing was deliberately relaxed. Liang Zhen was aware of it, thinking that the little emperor could sleep peacefully in his arms in the past, but now he can't even do this, and his heart is mixed for a while.

Feeling Liang Zhen's hand touching his abdomen, Zhu Yunxuan's back instantly stiffened again. After a pause, Liang Zhen whispered in his ear and asked him, "Is the pain often unbearable here?"

Zhu Yunxuan bit his lip and didn't answer. Liang Zhen sighed softly: "Your Majesty, you are a hated minister. You hate this one in your stomach. Don't toss yourself. If you feel unwell, you can call Imperial Physician Fang to see it. Why endure it?"

"If you don't want that child, you have to wait until you are born. If you don't want him now, it will only take your life. You don't care about life and death, but you think about your country and no successor. When you die, the court will be in chaos. What is it like? Even if the minister does not deliberately trouble other people? How many of those clan princes are easy to be with? And your brother, think about him, only you, the emperor, can protect him, definitely If you die, no matter who the next emperor is, I'm afraid he won't be able to tolerate him."

"If you want to kill a minister, you have to wait for you to get well and then plan slowly. The minister said that he will wait for you, and he will not break his promise. As long as you have the ability, you will not dare to kill or cut the minister in the future. complain."

Zhu Yunxuan closed his eyes tightly, his eyelashes trembled slightly, but he never responded. After a long silence, Liang Zhen patted him on the waist again: "Go to sleep."
