Ganlin Palace, the emperor's bedroom.

Gao An knelt beside the bed, carefully helping Zhu Yunxuan with his eyes closed to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, Fang Taiyi applied needles to his stomach one by one, being careful not to make any mistakes.

Half an hour later, the old doctor checked Zhu Yunxuan's pulse again, finally heaving a sigh of relief, and whispered to the dignified Liang Zhen who was standing beside him, frowning tightly, "Your Majesty's pulse has stabilized, and the fetus in the womb should respond. It's safe."

"How is your Majesty?"

"Rest on the couch, don't move the fetal air any more, the next official will prescribe some medicine, and you will be fine after a period of recuperation."

Liang Zhen glanced at Zhu Yunxuan, who was dripping with cold sweat on the bed, as if he had been pulled out of the water, nodded, and ordered in a deep voice, "You go down first."

The old doctor withdrew, Liang Zhen stepped forward, took the handkerchief from Gao An's hand, and wanted to wipe the sweat of Zhu Yunxuan himself, but Zhu Yunxuan turned his head to avoid it. Come back: "...Your Majesty is angry again, don't take vent on the child in your womb. You beat him, you are the one who suffers, and it is you who is lying here in pain in the end."

Zhu Yunxuan closed his eyes and remained silent, Liang Zhen sighed softly, and said: "You don't want to see the minister, the minister will not come these days, but you have to rest well, the imperial doctor makes you lie on the couch, even if you can't get through with the minister , and don't make it hard for you, this child is connected to your bones and blood, his life is your life, Your Majesty, please take care of yourself."

Seeing that Zhu Yunxuan was still reluctant to make a sound, and after a moment of silence, Liang Zhen could only say: "...I should step back first, Your Majesty, please rest."

Liang Zhen went to the side hall, where Imperial Physician Fang was prescribing a prescription. When he saw him coming in, he stopped writing and stood up. Liang Zhen waved his hand: "Sit down and continue writing."

When the imperial doctor finished prescribing the prescription, Liang Zhen asked him, "You didn't say it carefully, how is the child? Will there be a dark disease?"

Imperial Physician Fang thoughtfully said: "I can't tell right now, I have to wait until the child is born, but fortunately, His Majesty's pulse has stabilized, as long as there is no severe abdominal pain after that, there shouldn't be a big problem, it's just the same thing. , I can't experience it a second time, if this child... is gone, His Majesty will also have a life-threatening worry."

Seeing Liang Zhen's brows furrowed, Imperial Physician Fang knelt down and begged him: "I also ask the lord to be more considerate to your majesty, and don't try to stimulate him any more..."

Liang Zhen closed his eyes: "This king knows."

In the bedroom, Gao An held the medicine he had just boiled and fed it into Zhu Yunxuan's mouth one by one. Zhu Yunxuan frowned and waved his hand.

"His Majesty……"

"Call someone to clean up." Zhu Yunxuan instructed in a hoarse voice.

Gao An knelt on the ground with red eyes, and persuaded: "Your Majesty, no matter what, you must drink this medicine, for your own Holy Body..."

Zhu Yunxuan opened the corner of his mouth and smiled bitterly: "What is there to drink, without me, it would be in line with many people's hearts."

"Your Majesty, please don't say that, you are the emperor, even for the sake of the world, you must take care of the Holy Body..."

"In this world, is there any difference between me and me?" Zhu Yunxuan shook his head slightly, "I'm just a big joke."

Gao An cried and crawled up to Zhu Yunxuan, and kowtowed a few times: "Your Majesty, my servant is begging you, you're good... Anyway, think about the grandfather of the country, if you have troubles, what will he do? Don't you want to see him? , you can pass the decree or write a letter to him, invite him to the capital, maybe you will be happy when you see him?"

Speaking of Zhu Yunjing, the expression on Zhu Yunxuan's face finally softened: "Brother... I don't dare to let him see what I look like now..."

"Grandpa Guo may feel sorry for you when he sees you like this, why are you holding on alone!"

Zhu Yunxuan still shook his head: "No, it's too dangerous here... How can I implicate my brother, no..."

"Your Majesty, how do you know that Duke Ding doesn't want to see you? With Ding Ding, he won't be in danger. Maybe... Maybe he and Ding Ding can help you and give you advice?"

Zhu Yunxuan was slightly startled, but Gao An knew that he was persuaded by him, so he kowtowed again: "Your Majesty, just listen to your servant's advice, the Duke and the others are the only people you can rely on right now, why should you reject them too? Is it thousands of miles away?"

Zhu Yunxuan hesitated, and slowly clenched his fists. Suddenly, there was another colic in his abdomen. He moaned and curled up in pain. Gao An panicked when he saw this. Stop him: "Don't go..."

"His Majesty!"

Zhu Yunxuan clenched his teeth tightly, and the cold sweat fell down! He changed his mind when the words came to his mouth: "You call Imperial Doctor Fang, I have something to say... ask him."

Imperial Physician Fang came again in a hurry, Zhu Yunxuan was lifted up by Gao An and sat on the head of the bed, and after a long pause he asked in a hoarse voice, "I want to beat this thing in my stomach, is there a way?"

Hearing that, Gao An shouted out first: "Your Majesty can't do it!"

Imperial Doctor Fang was also taken aback: "Your Majesty, no way... A man conceives against the sky, and once he is pregnant, he cannot be killed, otherwise he will be killed and killed. There has never been an exception in this year, absolutely not!"

Zhu Yunxuan's pale face did not show any turbulence: "The methods are all thought up by people. Before my court, it was a fantasy for a man to give birth to a child. Since a famous doctor was able to develop this prescription for childbirth at that time, I just wanted to give birth to a child. Is it so difficult for a child to be beaten?"

The imperial doctor said urgently: "The fetus lives by sucking blood and essence in the abdomen, and is connected to the blood circulation of the father's body. It has to wait for the melon to ripen before it can be separated from the father's body. Absolutely!"

Zhu Yunxuan frowned slightly: "I don't want to hear anything that is absolutely necessary. If I ask you to think about it, you can give it to me. If you can't think of it, you will read ancient books. I don't believe that this medicine will be so overbearing. no."

"Your Majesty, why are you doing this? Even if you were lucky enough to succeed, your body would definitely suffer great damage. You..."

"Enough," Zhu Yunxuan interrupted the old doctor's persuasion impatiently, "Go back and find a way for me, you should listen to me, this matter must not be revealed to King Zhao, after all I am still the emperor, King Zhao. I can do what I can do, and for the sake of your wealth and life, you give me a good life."

The old doctor had to bite the bullet and respond: "...I dare not."

Gao An also wanted to persuade: "Your Majesty, think twice, what if... what if there is an emergency?"

Zhu Yunxuan closed his eyes carelessly: "I'm tired, you all retreat."

The emperor fell ill again, and he did not go to court for half a month, and the ministers were talking about it. Liang Zhen sometimes went to Ganlin Palace, but he just glanced at Zhu Yunxuan from a distance, and asked Gao An and Fang Taiyi about Zhu Yunxuan's condition. To bother him again to annoy him.

Once he heard the sound of things being thrown outside, so he couldn't help rushing into the hall. Zhu Yunxuan was scolding Taiyi Fang, who was lying on the ground and didn't dare to look up. Seeing him coming in, he immediately became cold, and Liang Zhen asked Taiyi Fang. He stepped back first and persuaded Zhu Yunxuan in a low voice: "Why is your Majesty doing this? Your health is important, why should you be angry for some trivial matters?"

Zhu Yunxuan sneered and ignored him. Liang Zhen stood there for a long time before he had to leave.

Half a month later, Zhu Yunxuan issued an imperial decree to dispose of all the nobles and court officials involved in the enclosure case. The clan went into the palace privately and wanted to intercede for King Xian, but they were blocked by Liang Zhen's people, and even Zhu Yunxuan's face was not seen.

As for Zeng Huai, he was sentenced to exile for the whole family, which was the heaviest sentence among the officials involved in the case. Many people wrote letters for Zeng Huai's injustice, believing that it was his son and nephew who committed the crime, and he should not be involved. Zhu Yunxuan pressed Seeing that there was no approval from the bunch of petitions, the official in charge of the trial came to ask for instructions, and he just said: "The imperial decree has been issued, so let's judge."

"But……"

"Although it was Zeng Jin who did the next thing, he was playing the banner of the first assistant of the current dynasty, which caused public resentment. Zeng Huai said that he didn't know about it, and who could prove that he was my teacher, so I couldn't be partial to him. "

What he didn't say was that it was Zeng Huai who was in prison who sent him the blood book, crying blood and begging Zhu Yunxuan to deal with him seriously, so that he could take this opportunity to take care of King Xian and his people and clean up the court.

Even at the end, his teacher was still looking out for him and thinking of him. Liang Zhen was not the only one who could assist him, but Liang Zhen never understood and was too self-righteous to see the strengths of others.

After the turmoil of the enclosure case subsided, Zhu Yunxuan finally appeared in the courtroom, and the first thing he did was to reiterate the diversion of the Yellow River. He no longer gave the ministers a chance to argue, and directly told the Ministry of Accounts to transfer the money first. Ten million taels went to the river, as the initial payment for the diversion of the people, and promoted Zhou Jian, the minister of labor, to be the left servant, and the Prime Minister of the Yellow River was diverted.

After retreating from the court, Zhou Jian came out behind Liang Zhen and thanked him, Liang Zhen said coldly: "Your Majesty is the one who promotes and uses you, you don't have to thank this king, if you don't have real talent and practice, or if you do something wrong in the future It's useless to ask this king to protect you, now that your majesty values ​​you, you can do the job well, and don't betray your majesty's trust."

Zhou Jian hurriedly responded: "Xiaguan knows it."

Liang Zhen stopped and looked at the rising sun slowly rising in the distant sky, but his heart was not relaxed and happy. Recalling that when he was in the early morning, sitting on the throne and looking at Zhu Yunxuan, who was becoming more and more indifferent and alienated, he always felt that , The thread that has been involved between them seems to be about to break.

Maybe it wasn't his illusion.
