"Close the door, close the door quickly." Lan Qi heard Eunuch Liang shouting, and immediately the door of Yonghe Palace slammed shut, and the royal chariot and the accompanying people were blocked outside. The door was in a mess, and there were people messing around.
Lan Qi came to help the emperor and herself. Lan Qi didn't care so much and just followed them into the house. However, everyone put the fainting emperor on the bed, and the imperial doctor circled around the bed, so she couldn't get involved at all.
"Empress De Fei." Eunuch Liang came to her side. Lan Qi came back to her senses and asked nervously, "What happened to the Emperor?"
Liang Gonggong said: "Returning to your Majesty, Ulanbutong is a hilly grassland, and the place where the battle was fought was a swamp with high grass and dense forests. The majority of the drinking water for the army came from the stagnant water in the swamp. That day, the emperor went deep into the military camp to eat and sleep with the soldiers. As a result,
Infected with dysentery."
"Dysentery?" Lan Qi's heart was pounding. Dysentery could be severe or minor. Looking back at Xuan Ye who was weak and lethargic, her heart was as sharp as a knife.
Seeing that Concubine De was nervous, Eunuch Liang blamed himself for not speaking clearly, and continued to explain: "Long live my Lord's illness is cold-damp dysentery. Don't worry, the major symptoms are over. Now I am just weak and unhealed.
Long Live Master managed to come back all the way."
Lan Qi didn't ask Xuan Ye why he was so hesitant, and just murmured: "You are not an imperial physician, how can I trust you?"
But soon, the group of imperial doctors surrounding the emperor withdrew and reported to Concubine De, saying that the emperor was just overtired and fell into a coma, his pulse was stable, and his dysentery had been relieved, so Lan Qi should rest assured.
"Don't be careless, you may die at any time." Lan Qi was worried. While instructing the imperial doctors, she asked Huan Chun to replace the clean clothes that the emperor left in Yonghe Palace on weekdays. She turned away the idle people and scrubbed the sleeping people's bodies with her own hands.
, and felt disgusted with lying down just now after wearing outer clothes, so he simply changed them inside and out.
Then he ordered all the utensils in the Yonghe Palace to be boiled twice a day in boiling water. The thirteenth and fourth elder brother and the little princess must eat and drink carefully, and stay in their own rooms and are not allowed to go out. Naturally, the Yonghe Palace is also closed to the outside world.
The door is closed and no one is allowed to enter.
By the time everything was in order and the palace was back to order again, it was already noon. Lan Qi had not slept all night last night and had been busy for a while. She also felt a little overwhelmed and didn't even have the appetite for lunch. She knew
After the children were settled, they sat beside the couch to accompany Xuan Ye. She stretched out her hand and gently touched his cheek, which had become thinner. She muttered to herself and seemed to be talking to Xuan Ye, and unconsciously fell asleep on his body.
When she woke up again, she felt a cold hand touching her cheek. Lan Qi was startled from her dream. When she woke up, she didn't know where she was or what happened. When she saw Xuan Ye's pale and chapped face,
Her lips curved into a familiar smile, and her tears burst out instantly. All her memories came back to her in the morning, and she remembered everything Eunuch Liang said. Her heart ached to the point of breaking.
But I heard Xuan Ye say in a hoarse voice: "Idiot, why are you crying? I'm not back."
"Coming back like this scares me to death." Lan Qi choked, holding Xuan Ye's cold hand. When had his hand been so cold? The strong man's body seemed to be trembling with heat from the cold. She couldn't help but
I wanted to warm him with myself, hug his body as much as possible, and had not shed tears no matter what news I faced for more than a month. I couldn't hold back my tears for a while, and it took me a long time to calm down, and then I said,
"I thought the emperor would come back wearing armor, sitting on a tall horse, and coming back with great power and glory."
Xuan Ye laughed weakly, groped for Lan Qi's cheek with his hand, and held her smooth skin in his palm. This was a touch that could make him peaceful. He seemed to be too tired to fall asleep, and closed it slowly and comfortably.
With his eyes open, he murmured in his mouth: "Aren't you satisfied that I can come back and walk through the door of your Yonghe Palace? You don't care how I come back. What's important is that if you were asked to wait for me to come back, have you done it?
?”
"Yes." Lan Qi responded, wiped away her tears, looked up and saw that Xuan Ye was sleeping peacefully again, covered him with a quilt, gently kneaded his arms to make him relax, changed from crying just now, and spoke softly
, "We're home, don't be afraid. Just rest peacefully. I'll be able to make you fat again in a few days."
Xuan Ye had not yet fallen asleep, with a happy smile on his face and said very softly: "Do you think you are an adopted son?"
After that, Lan Qi took care of Xuan Ye without any clothes on. She almost got up and slept with him. He fed him medicine one bite at a time and coaxed him with food one bite at a time. The gate of Yonghe Palace was closed tightly and no outsiders were seen. For two days, the emperor's health improved a lot.
There was a great improvement, but the women outside and the ministers of the court could no longer hold back. The emperor returned to Luan for two days but was stuck in Yonghe Palace. Rumors gradually spread. After all, everyone knew that the emperor had returned from a serious illness, and
Now even the prince can't see the emperor, and they all say that Concubine De has occupied the emperor for other purposes.
However, the emperor still stayed in Yonghe Palace. It was not until five days later that he summoned several ministers to speak directly in Yonghe Palace. The prince also met his father in Yonghe Palace. As for the concubines, except for Concubine Rong and Concubine Tong, there was no one else.
See the Holy Driver.
The first thing the emperor summoned his ministers to do was to bury his uncle Tong Guogang in the capital. He even ordered the princes to greet him in person and gave instructions on all the details of the funeral. He was also a hero of a generation, and the emperor's uncle's posthumous treatment was better than
In the past, Prince An, the prince of the clan, was as different as clouds and mud. The gap was too big. However, this was the emperor's will, and no one dared to make too many mistakes.
But now that the emperor has returned from victory, his body is gradually recovering, and his imperial aura is gathering momentum, and he is even more powerful than before to intimidate the mountains and rivers.
Raised in Yonghe Palace, everything is at ease. Lan Qi takes care of people with the most considerate and gentle care. Who doesn’t yearn for a comfortable and comfortable life? If it weren’t for the people of the country on his shoulders, Xuan Ye would not want to leave here. He would also go through a life and death, experience
After a fierce battle, he took this time to stop and think about many things quietly.
It was just that it was the hardest time to serve the patients, and Lan Qi himself was getting worse. Xuan Ye saw it. Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, he could walk around and regained his vitality, so he hugged the haggard person and said, "I'm fine."
, don’t get sick."
Lan Qi smiled leisurely and said: "After the emperor returns to Qianqing Palace, just give me a few days of peace and quiet and let me sleep day and night for a few days." She raised her head and looked at Xuan Ye, reaching out to touch his ruddy spirit.
He rubbed his face and said, "Raising a son is not so tiring. He is the most difficult person in the world to take care of."
Xuan Ye smiled: "Are you disgusted?"
"Why don't I dislike you? I will serve you all my life." Lan Qi stood up on tiptoes, pecked Xuan Ye on the face, and said softly, "I have no other skills, I only know how to take care of people. When will the emperor get tired?"
I’m so sad. There is my concubine in Yonghe Palace. There are hot soup, rice and quilts. This is your and my concubine’s home.”
Xuan Ye hugged her tightly and said: "I remember that when I fell on you, I heard you calling my name. After the death of the imperial grandmother, no one called me Xuan Ye. At that moment, I felt that I was really home. "
Thinking of the panic that day, and seeing the shining emperor at this moment, Lan Qi was grateful that God had blessed her once again and did not let her lose the most important person in her life. During those days when she was weak and snoozing, she really wished she had no home. She is willing to abandon all the glory and wealth in the world, as long as God does not take away the most important person in her life.
At this moment, I was full of emotions, and the tip of my nose felt sour for a while, but I tried to restrain myself and smiled slightly: "The emperor has returned to Qianqing Palace. Please take your time in everything. Don't be disobedient. Otherwise, I will beg the Queen Mother three or four times a day. I came to ask you how you are, and it’s not a perfunctory thing to bother you.”
"Now that even the Queen Mother has been coaxed by you, am I still afraid of you?" Xuan Ye smiled, but before he continued, Huan Chun's voice sounded outside the door, informing the two emperors and concubines that the prince had come to pay his respects.
The prince came to pay his respects every day, including the past few days when Yonghe Palace was closed to greet guests. At that time, Lan Qi personally sent the prince away. Later, the emperor met him once, and the father and son met again every now and then, but not every day. When we met, Xuan Ye said at this moment: "I will return to Qianqing Palace in the afternoon. Let the prince wait for me at Qianqing Palace."
Lan Qi asked Huan Chun, "Is it time to take medicine?" She followed to the door, but said softly, "Tell the prince well and be tactful."
Lan Qi always told her this. When she couldn't spare the time to explain to the prince, every time she sent Huan Chun or Lu Zhu, they would add this instruction. Xuan Ye would occasionally hear it, and at this moment he frowned and said: " Why are you so polite to him? You are my concubine, one of the most noble women in the Qing Dynasty today."
Lan Qi heard the word "noble" and said with a smile: "But behind closed doors, waiting for your man to serve tea and water until you are so tired that your feet don't touch the floor. How does this nobility work? I have thought since I was a child that the so-called nobility , it’s time for food to be eaten and clothes to be opened and hands to be stretched out. Looking at the situation these days, it can be seen that there is only one person here who is truly noble."
Xuan Ye glanced at her and scolded with a thick smile: "She is very sharp-tongued."
Lan Qi sat aside and said softly: "I have met the prince several times and feel that the prince is easier to get close to than before. However, the prince returned to the capital early. There were many rumors in and outside the palace. There were rumors in the palace that I and Sister Rong could be together." But the emperor cannot indulge in gossip in the court, so how can he allow those ministers to be disrespectful to the prince?"
Xuan Ye looked at her quietly and said, Lan Qi said with a look on her face for a long time, and blamed herself: "I made a mistake, I made a mistake." Her heart was pounding. She was so busy these days that she forgot all the things before. At that critical moment, Concubine Hui's words and the Queen Mother's hints came to mind now, and she felt that the reason why she said these words carelessly was because of her hidden guilty conscience.
But the emperor didn't seem to know, or he didn't care, so he asked Lan Qi: "Do you know why the prince returned to Beijing early?"
Lan Qi looked at him timidly. Xuan Ye asked her to speak boldly without being shy, so she said, "I heard from hearsay that you scolded the prince in the tent."
"Did Yinzhi say the same thing?" Xuan Ye asked, "He should have heard it."
Lan Qi saw that the emperor understood everything in his heart. Although he did not want to involve the third elder brother, there was no point in lying anymore, so she nodded lightly.
Xuan Ye let out a long sigh: "I scolded Yin Reng on purpose. I wanted to give him an excuse to return to Beijing immediately, so I had to scold him back."
