Fish belly appeared on the horizon, and a ray of light peeked out from the clouds and quietly fell on the red walls and gold tiles of the palace.
The sandalwood in the bedroom is still burning slowly, and with the gentle breeze, the fragrance is scattered everywhere.
Perhaps he was sleepy and exhausted, so Zhu Yunxi lay down casually in front of Zhu Yuanzhang's hospital bed and fell asleep. He seemed to be dreaming about something in his sleep, sometimes smiling and sometimes frowning slightly.
He fell asleep, but Zhu Yuanzhang slowly opened his eyes.
The old man's sleep was always very little and very light. When Zhu Yuanzhang opened his eyes, the air that was blocked in his heart was relieved, but he was still a little dizzy.
Just when he was about to move, he found that his hand was being held gently by Zhu Yunxi.
In his sleep, Zhu Yunxi was dreaming about his parents and relatives in his previous life, and he murmured vaguely to himself, "Dad, Mom..." Then, the voice suddenly became louder, "Grandpa, Grandma!"
In an instant, Zhu Yuanzhang's hand, which he wanted to take out, froze.
He didn't hear the words "parents" clearly, but his grandparents could hear them clearly, and he suddenly felt sad.
This grandson who stayed by his bedside all night lost his grandmother, his mother, and his father since he was a child. Now he is the only grandfather left.
In this huge palace city, this child can be said to be helpless, and it cannot be said that he has suffered many grievances.
Listening to Zhu Yunxi's long breathing, Zhu Yuanzhang's heart was suddenly filled with past events.
The old daughter, the eldest grandson, and the lifeblood of the old man. When the first grandson was born, he and Queen Ma were so happy that they couldn't smile from ear to ear. Later, when the grandson's health deteriorated, Queen Ma and her daughter-in-law devoted themselves to the child.
Later, in order to give birth to another legitimate grandson for the Zhu family, Chang risked her life and gave birth to Zhu Yunxi with great difficulty. After the child was born, Queen Ma did not allow palace attendants to take care of her.
Take care of.
Unexpectedly, a few years later, both Chang and Empress Ma would pass away.
From then on, the child was brought to the stepmother's side.
Poor child! Zhu Yuanzhang sighed.
After sighing, his face was full of murderous intent.
Although he was sick, his heart was clearer than ever.
At the most critical moment when his heart was clogged with phlegm and he couldn't breathe, he clearly felt the threat of death. He was old. When he was young, even when he faced the enemy's spears and axes, he didn't even frown.
There is no time to think about life and death.
However, during this sudden illness, he truly felt his own aging and the fragility of life.
If Zhu Yunxi hadn't made a prompt decision and helped him suck out the phlegm, he might have really suffocated to death.
He is not afraid of death.
He is the emperor who crawled out from the dead. He knows that what people fear is not death, but waiting for death.
What made him most angry was that when he was in danger, there were still people plotting against him secretly.
Ms. Lu, that mean daughter-in-law who always pretended to be virtuous.
How dare she stop us from talking?
Zhu Yuanzhang knew exactly why she wanted to stop her.
Just when Zhu Yuanzhang felt that his life was in danger, he took Zhu Yunxi's hand and wanted to say that King Wu could be the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, but Mrs. Lu actually interrupted him.
There was also Zhu Yunwen's expression, Zhu Yuanzhang also saw it and was hurt in his heart.
They all thought that they would definitely not survive.
But at the same time, he also felt a deep warmth in his heart because of Zhu Yunxi.
In front of his hospital bed, Zhu Yunxi did not ask himself what he wanted to say, nor did he argue with his mother-in-law and brother-in-law. He paid attention to his illness from beginning to end, and his thoughts were on the old man himself.
There was already a candidate for the position of crown prince. The reason why he changed his mind and asked Zhu Yunxi to supervise the country after passing the critical moment was to protect him. After all, he was still ill now.
When the illness is cured, he must announce it to the people of the world in front of all the civil and military officials at the great court meeting. Only then will the position of the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty be firm.
At the same time, Zhu Yuanzhang felt helpless in his heart.
Heroes are short-tempered, but children are long-lasting.
He has never hesitated in anything in his life, and he has never been soft-hearted in killing people.
For the sake of his family, he would not hesitate to lose his life, even if blood flowed into rivers.
He is the emperor, he doesn't care what the people in the world think or think, he is the emperor, the emperor who only respects himself.
But today, the daughter-in-law whom he hated so much could not be killed for the moment.
After all, she is his daughter-in-law and the mother of three imperial grandchildren, two of whom are still children.
Zhu Yuanzhang killed many people in his life, but he never touched the blood of his own relatives.
She can take care of herself! Zhu Yuanzhang sighed in his heart, let her be a rich and idle person, we can be considered worthy of our dead son!
With all the complicated emotions in his heart, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but take out his hand and gently caress the top of Zhu Yunxi's head.
Feeling a big hand slowly moving on his head, Zhu Yunxi woke up from his dream instantly and raised his head in surprise, Grandpa Huang, are you awake?
Seeing the clear tears on Zhu Yunxi's face and his bloodshot eyeballs, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded happily, "Well, I'm awake!"
Imperial physician! Zhu Yunxi shouted outside.
In an instant, several imperial doctors came in hurriedly.
They gathered around Zhu Yuanzhang, first felt his pulse, and then looked at the tongue coating, then carefully took out the ginseng pills prepared overnight and carefully placed them in Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth.
How is Grandpa Huang? Zhu Yunxi asked with concern.
Back to Your Highness, Your Majesty is fine, but you need to take good care of yourself recently. You can't eat anything too salty, too sweet, no alcohol, no seafood...
The imperial doctor said this, and Zhu Yunxi remembered it.
Later, Zhu Yunxi smiled and said to Zhu Yuanzhang, "Grandpa Huang, my grandson said, you must be fine!"
Zhu Yuanzhang also laughed and asked teasingly, last night, we heard you shouting, saying that you had found a fortune teller to tell us, would we live a long life?
Yes! Zhu Yunxi lied casually. That day when his grandson left the palace, he met an old fortune teller on the road. He had such a long white beard! As he said that, Zhu Yunxi measured it on his chest. The grandson saw that he seemed to have some knowledge, so he gave the emperor's grandfather's fortune.
I told him my birthday.
Telling fortunes based on the emperor's birth date in private and putting it on someone else's body would definitely be a crime that would lead to confiscation and beheading. But what happened to Zhu Yunxi, his direct grandson, was just out of love for his grandfather.
What did he say? Zhu Yuanzhang smiled.
He said! Zhu Yunxi imitated the fortune-telling old man, squinted his eyes, and trembled, ah, the little old man has been telling fortunes all his life, but he has never seen such a precious fortune. Don't worry, young master, this elder in your family must be an elder.
A man who lives to be a hundred years old!
Haha! Zhu Yuanzhang laughed out loud, what a fucking nonsense!
The old man knows how to curse, and if he knows how to curse, he will be fine.
Zhu Yunxi slowly let go of the question hanging in his heart.
Afterwards, the palace people filed in, took away the sandalwood, blew out the candles, and opened the curtains to let in the warm morning sunlight.
You must be tired after watching us all night! Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the tiredness on Zhu Yunxi's face and went to rest. Since we have survived, God will not accept us!
My grandson is not tired! Zhu Yunxi sat by the bed and said to Huang Gou'er, go and build me a bed outside. I will serve Grandpa Huang here these days!
Tsk! Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, what a joke! You still need to serve so many people?
So many people are outsiders! Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, it is not natural for your grandson to serve you! How can outsiders be as dedicated as his grandson?
The wrinkles on Zhu Yuanzhang's face were all smiles. That's not a good idea. You are the supervisor of the country. There will be memorials and interviews with ministers!
Just look at it in the outer room. If you encounter a grandson who doesn't understand, you can always ask Grandpa Pope! Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "Moreover, you talk about supervising the country but not the country. Compared with Grandpa Huang, it's nothing!"
Elderly people like to hear good things from their children and grandchildren, and they like to have their children and grandchildren think about them.
Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang also knew that Zhu Yunxi was telling the truth. After announcing that he was the supervisor last night, Zhu Yunxi did not have any arrogance. Every arrangement was for the stability of the Ming Dynasty, without any personal intentions.
Grandpa Huang, are you hungry? Let me cook you a bowl of porridge!
Okay! Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said with a smile, we will eat whatever our grandson tells us to eat! He said with another smile, when people get old, their children and grandchildren make the decision, haha!
