Chapter 105 How Much Time Is Left

He was probably thinking of Emperor Xiaozong and those things of those days. At this time, when he saw the little emperor lying on the Ming Huanglong couch, Fu Changxi had been polished on the battlefield, and his heart like a stone suddenly softened.

In fact, when he went to the dragon robe and the dragon chair, he was just an ordinary child.

Thin, pale, frightened and restless.

Fu Changxi sighed involuntarily, raised his hand, and motioned for the palace people on the left and right to retreat.

The palace people hurriedly bowed, and then retired.

The little emperor heard the sound, turned around, saw Fu Changxi, his eyes lit up, and he called out in a low voice, "Uncle Su!" Immediately, he seemed to be a little stunned again, and he hesitated, "Why are you here?"

Fu Changxi took a few steps forward and tucked his hand out of the quilt back, then said slowly, "I heard that Your Majesty is ill, I'll come and take a look."

The little emperor stared at Fu Changxi with his jet-black eyes, and after a while he said softly, "...I miss the emperor."

"Then you should take good care of your illness and take medicine." Fu Changxi's expression was as usual, and his voice was calm and slow, "Your father, the emperor, was also sick from time to time when he was young, he was never afraid of the pain of medicine, bowl after bowl, It's getting healthy."

Of course, this "getting healthy" isn't really healthy either, it's probably the kind of people who were supposed to live beyond their twenties but almost reached their thirties in the end.

When Fu Changxi was young, he once heard someone mention that Emperor Xiaozong had already loved Concubine Wu very much at first, but because Concubine Wu had a hard time giving birth to the eldest princess of Ningguo, it was difficult to have children after that, so he began to get close to the king for the sake of heirs. Queen, want to have a heir. Queen Wang is probably more urgent than Emperor Xiaozong. She is so eager for Emperor Xiaozong to give her and the Wang family a direct son. For this reason, she ate a lot of food before and after pregnancy, so that the first emperor was almost out of breath when he was born. crooked.

Emperor Xiaozong wanted an heir wholeheartedly, and he naturally didn't like it when he saw that the late emperor was so sick and weak that he might lose his temper at any time. However, Queen Wang insisted on a mother's last efforts and love for her son. She regarded the late emperor as an eyeball, and took care of it carefully, and she actually raised it little by little. Later, when Fu Changxi was born, Emperor Xiaozong didn't even take the sick and weak son in his eyes. He probably felt that the child would not live long after all.

So, under the neglect of Emperor Xiaozong, Queen Wang guarded her only son and raised him little by little. Later, Fu Changxi went to the Queen's Palace. He had seen with his own eyes how the Queen and Queen loved her son, and also how the previous emperor endured the pain, drank medicine bowl after bowl, gritted his teeth and survived.

Fu Changxi lightly rubbed the little emperor's cheek, and said to him in a warm voice, "Your father and emperor once said when you were there, 'A ruler must be tenacious, nothing is impossible in the world', you are so young sitting here In this position, you should be more tenacious.”

The little emperor gritted his teeth, but tears fell from his eyes. He whispered, "I really miss my father..."

Fu Changxi hummed softly and wiped his tears.

With tears in his eyes, the little emperor looked at him with those black grape-like eyes, and asked in a low voice, "Okay, can the empress dowager stay in the Nangong?"

Fu Changxi paused.

There seemed to be panic on the little emperor's face, and he quickly explained to himself: "I know, I know she is the queen mother, and I should honor her. But I really..."

"Okay." Fu Changxi interrupted the little emperor's intermittent explanation, and responded flatly.

The little emperor couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then he was relieved, and the spirit that had been holding up a little bit also dissipated, and the black eyelashes drooped subconsciously, and said vaguely: "Uncle Huang, I'm sleepy..."

"Then lie down for a while." Fu Changxi stroked him to lie down.

The little emperor leaned on the pillow, grabbed the quilt, and muttered in a low voice: "Father always asks me to get close to the queen mother, he said that the queen mother is my mother and she will protect me... But, I know she is not my mother. ……she………"

Still a child after all, after whispering for a while, he fell asleep again.

Fu Changxi shook his head unconsciously: When the late emperor was there, the closest person was his wife and children, and he was raised by the queen a little bit since he was a child. Naturally, he also hoped that the Zheng family and the little emperor would be kind and filial to their sons. Unfortunately……

At this moment, he suddenly heard a voice from outside, but saw that Song Yuan was leading an old doctor with white hair and beard coming in from outside the hall.

Both Song Yuan and the imperial physician came up to salute.

Fu Changxi stood up from the dragon couch, glanced at them, and nodded: "Don't be too polite, look at Your Majesty first?"

This is what the doctor said.

Song Yuan obviously still had a grudge against the Zheng family, so he found a deputy envoy of the imperial hospital, An Imperial Physician. This is very old, and he can be considered to have gone through three dynasties. And because of this age, he will be more cautious, and he will not be confused at the last moment and get involved in the palace.

Imperial Physician An hurriedly responded, and personally brought the medical box up to check the little emperor's pulse.

After all, he is the deputy envoy of the Taiyuan Hospital. He can know the general condition without having to do everything. In fact, with his medical skills, if he is not at this age, if he is not willing to rely on the Zheng family, he may still be a hospital envoy or point.

Imperial Physician An couldn't help showing a hesitant and worried look on his face, and subconsciously turned to look at Fu Changxi.

Fu Changxi felt something in his heart, and after a brief pause, he said, "Come with me."

With that said, he walked to the side hall where no one was.

There was no one in the side hall, and it was even more quiet. Then Fu Changxi asked in a deep voice, "What is the matter with the emperor's illness?"

Imperial Physician An took a deep breath and knelt down: "His Royal Highness, Your Majesty, he was born with deficiencies. These days, he seems to be too worried, worrying and hurting the spirit, which is already hurting his vitality. I'm afraid it's going to be bad..."

Fu Changxi closed his eyes, then opened them again, and asked slowly, "How much time is left?"

Doctor An: "It is as short as one or two years, and as long as three or four years."

Fu Changxi: "At the beginning, the late emperor was weak, and many imperial physicians said that he was not very grown up, but he still survived."

An imperial doctor: "The late emperor's temperament was tough, and he was different from His Majesty."

Fu Changxi sighed, "I see."

After speaking, he didn't speak for a while, and Taiyi An knew that the regent wanted to think about it, so he knelt quietly and waited for the regent to speak.

After a while, Fu Changxi continued: "How much do you think the queen mother knows about the emperor's body?"

Imperial Physician An paused for a while, then said, "Your Majesty's body is like a gap in a large vat, dripping water little by little, and outsiders can't see it for a while. As a result, a shock, the gap turned into a small hole, hula. When the water flows out, it can be seen from the outside. Chen Yuanshi's medical skills are not bad, but His Majesty's body looked fine before, I'm afraid he didn't see it."

Fu Changxi nodded, and then said again: "It is about the dragon body and the court situation, so it must be kept secret. From today, you will stay in the Qianyuan Palace and be with Your Majesty..."

"His Royal Highness!" Imperial Doctor An couldn't help but smile bitterly, "I'm afraid I can't take on this important task at this age."

However, Fu Changxi stared at him and said, "If you can't afford it, you have to bear itdon't you say 'the short one or two years, the long one three or four years'? As long as you can get through it safely, at most three or four years, no Can you go home safely and retire?"

Imperial Physician An had to answer, kneeling down and giving a big salute.

Fu Changxi waved his hand and told him to step back.

When Imperial Physician An was halfway through, he suddenly asked hesitantly, "His Royal Highness, if there is a question from Commander Song?"

"Let's hide it first, it's not the time to say this." Fu Changxi said lightly.

Physician An complied.

After Imperial Physician An retreated, there was only Fu Changxi left in the hall. He stood alone in the hall with a deep expression and was thinking about a question: After the emperor goes, who can succeed the throne?

*********

When Fu Changxi came out of the palace, the sky was still bright, just in time to go to Zhen's house to pick up Zhen Tingyun before dark.

Zhen Tingyun complained a little: "I was talked about by my parents for a long time at home, and it's all your fault!"

Although Fu Changxi was full of worries, looking at her puffed-up appearance, he didn't feel happy. He reached out and rubbed her little face, and said softly, "Yes, yes, it's my fault."

Zhen Tingyun felt that his apology was like coaxing people, so he was very angry and wanted to kick people.

However, when he lifted his foot, Zhen Tingyun remembered another important matter, so he endured the anger again, raised his eyes to look at Fu Changxi, and asked tentatively, "You told me that Song Yuan is not an outsider, He has some relationship with Madam Chu, what is the relationship?"

Fu Changxi said casually, "It's naturally a husband and wife relationship."

Zhen Tingyun: "!!!"

Seeing that Zhen Ting Yunxing's eyes were round, Fu Changxi had no choice but to hold her palm, rubbed her tender fingertips lightly, and explained to her: "Okay, in fact, they are now divorced, so that's fine. Not married anymore."

Even so, Zhen Tingyun was still surprised.

Immediately, she remembered the little details that she didn't care about at first—

She remembered that at that time, she didn't know Fu Changxi's identity, and thought that the West Mountain Courtyard was given to her husband by the regent. At that time, she went to the Xishan Courtyard to talk to Fu Changxi. At that time, someone came again, and the guards came up to report. Zhen Tingyun also listened to it, as if it was "General Song" and "just returned to Beijing". It's just that she didn't pay attention at the time and didn't feel like it was disturbing, so she got up to leave, but just before she left, she saw a dark horse parked in the courtyard-because Ma Lantou was also a dark horse, Zhen Tingyun was very cold. When I saw a black horse again, it was inevitable to take another look.

To this day, Zhen Tingyun can still vaguely remember that the horse was shiny, with its head held high, resolute and arrogant, even just looking at it, he knew that this must be a rare good horse, a very good horse. At that time, Zhen Tingyun looked at the very dark horse but didn't think much about it. He just muttered in his heart: This must be the mount of General Song... That is, on the way back, Zhen Tingyun met him. Mrs. Chu - At that time, Mrs. Chu was standing in the pavilion with two girls, as if waiting for someone?

What's more, Zhen Tingyun's exam certificate was sold, and he had to follow the address left by Mrs. Chu and desperately led Ma Lantou to go to apprenticeship. That day, Mrs. Chu nodded and accepted her as a disciple. When the two of them were in the car together, Mrs. Chu once spoke to her in a warm voice: "Yes, in this world, people will always encounter things that make people feel hard and uncomfortable. When I was young, I liked someone to the point of being fascinated, because he loved to read and couldn't put it down, so I also learned the same way of reading and learning as he did... Later, I separated from that person and came to Beijing from the southwest. The book of the car. Until then, I knew: whether it is love or hate, no matter how intense it is, it will not last long. Only what we have seen and learned can accompany us for life and will never fail us.”

It wasn't until this moment that Zhen Tingyun realized that what Mrs. Chu said at the time was, "Later, I separated from that person and came to the capital from the southwest." Isn't that southwest where the family was exiled after the Song family accident? Remember that Song Yuan also seemed to be transferred back from the southwest?

 …

Zhen Tingyun quickly figured out this series of joint connections. As a disciple, she was naturally partial to Mrs. Chu, and she looked down on Song Yuan very much - looking at his thick eyebrows and big eyes, he didn't expect to be a scum. male.

Thinking of this, Zhen Tingyun straightened his expression, and said to Fu Changxi righteously: "Everything has been reconciled, then I will definitely not recognize this master."

Fu Changxi, who didn't know that Zhen Tingyun had already made up all the plots in his mind: "..."
