After entering the palace, Zhu Di looked back and saw that Zhu Gaochi had already pulled him down a long way, so he stopped and looked unhappy.
It's not that he doesn't like Zhu Gaochi, this is his son after all, but he vaguely feels that... his physical condition is too worrying, and his image... doesn't look like the crown prince.
Zhu Gaoxu on the other side was very majestic and had the aura of a dragon and a tiger.
"Father..." Zhu Gaochi finally walked up to Zhu Di. He was very embarrassed and bowed to Zhu Di ashamedly.
Zhu Di sighed and said, "You, you need to go on a diet."
"Yes Yes."
Zhu Di said: "Your brother-in-law Zhang Anshi...hasn't caused any trouble recently, right?"
Zhu Gaochi said: "An Shi is still a child..."
Zhu Di said: "That's not necessarily the case."
Zhu Gaochi quickly defended: "Father, An Shi's intentions are good, he..."
Zhu Di smiled: "I heard that he, Zhu Yong and Zhang Fu are close friends, but Zhu Yong and Zhang Fu are very promising now, and they have been called the two most evil men in the capital. Why don't they not be the three evil men in the capital?"
Woolen cloth?"
Zhu Gaochi was stunned and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Zhu Gaoxu, who was standing by, couldn't help but show a hint of joy, but then he became dejected when he thought of his mother.
Zhu Di put his hands behind his back and said, "Let's go and say something nice in front of your mother."
The father and son strolled to Queen Xu's bedroom.
At this time, Queen Xu was still sleeping peacefully.
The eunuch wanted to wake up Empress Xu, but when he saw Zhu Di frowning, he suddenly started to tiptoe. The old eunuch understood and knew that His Majesty hoped that Empress Xu could sleep for a while, so he quietly left.
Zhu Di arrived at the bed, sat down gently, lowered his eyes, and looked at Empress Xu who was sleeping soundly.
Empress Xu had long been tortured by illness and was almost haggard. Zhu Di looked at her like this with tiger eyes and couldn't help but want to cry.
Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaoxu, however, stood sideways and did not dare to make a sound.
Zhu Di was like a statue, sitting stiffly and motionless.
Time passed bit by bit.
More than half an hour.
Even the old eunuch outside felt a little strange, so he crept in to visit for a while, and then he pursed his lips, wanting to say something, but he didn't dare to make a sound.
Outside the dormitory, there were already dozens of eunuchs and maids waiting there with various washing utensils and prepared meals.
They were motionless and silent.
It's just that everyone's face has a look of confusion.
Today...is a bit unusual.
Time passes slowly.
More than half an hour passed again.
The prepared meals have been sent back to be warmed many times.
The warm water originally used for washing had to be replaced several times.
Until another hour passed, when even Zhu Di felt a little sore and numb.
Queen Xu woke up faintly, her eyes opened slightly, and when she saw Zhu Di, she felt a little confused.
"You're awake." Zhu Di smiled. At this time, he no longer looked like a rough guy.
After a brief moment of confusion, Queen Xu said warmly: "How long have you been sleeping, my concubine?"
Without waiting for Zhu Di to answer, the old eunuch hurried in and lowered his thin voice and said: "I have been sleeping for four hours. Your Majesty... Your Majesty... In the past year or so, I have never slept as soundly as I do today."
…”
Zhu Di was shocked and turned to look at Empress Xu. Of course, Empress Xu's face was still pale, but she seemed to be a little more energetic than before.
The old eunuch said excitedly: "Your Majesty, are you still coughing..."
"Oh, yes..." Queen Xu also noticed something strange at this time. She held her breath gently, her throat still felt a little stuffy, but... her breath was indeed much easier than before.
this……
Queen Xu looked incredible.
The long-term pain and suffering made her miserable, and she had forgotten what it was like when she was healthy.
But now, although she still feels a little uncomfortable, it makes her feel like she has regained a new lease of life.
"I feel a little relieved...but I don't know why."
Zhu Di was still sitting there, motionless, dumbfounded.
The old eunuch said: "My Majesty... you used to cough at night and couldn't even sleep well. But since last night, when the slaves were waiting outside the palace, although they occasionally coughed, they didn't make much noise. It's rare for your Majesty to do so."
After a solid sleep, I wonder if... I would like to drink some tea to moisten my throat."
Empress Xu suddenly felt like seeing the light of day again. At first she was still a little unbelievable, but now...she tried hard to breathe evenly, took another breath, and said: "Bring in some tea. Besides, I
I want to eat."
"Have a meal..."
The people in the palace were so shocked that their jaws dropped.
The old eunuch was immediately overjoyed, and probably because of his excitement, he said in a trembling voice: "What do you want to eat, the empress?"
"I remember what Shichang ate when I was in Beiping City... Tremella Soup. By the way, let's add another dish of 'Birds of Birds'."
The entire dormitory hall has become a mess.
The rice porridge that was originally intended to be brought in was quickly taken away, and several stoves were turned on in the inner dining room.
Queen Xu said at this time: "Your Majesty, the medicine you sent before..."
Only then did Zhu Di suddenly wake up and said: "Yes, yes, it's that medicine. That medicine actually works. It... has such a miraculous effect."
Suddenly, Zhu Di was so excited that his lips trembled, and he was speechless for a moment.
Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly greeted each other, and Zhu Gaoxu said: "The queen mother has her own destiny. This is God's blessing..."
Zhu Di interrupted him at this time and said: "Of course there is God's protection, but it is also thanks to Guo Degan."
"Guo Degan?"
Zhu Di stood up excitedly and said, "Thanks to this son's medicine, he saved the life of his good wife."
Zhu Gaochi said cautiously: "Father, who is this Guo Degan?"
Zhu Di glared at him. At this moment, a big stone fell in his heart. Naturally, he regained his heroic temperament and couldn't help but want to curse: "Who is Guo Degan? In short, he is a hundred times stronger than your brother-in-law. Those children...
...and you all should learn from him, he has such great abilities at such a young age."
Zhu Gaochi: "..."
He was annoyed, but fortunately he was used to it.
Zhu Gaoxu took advantage of the opportunity and said: "What my father is saying is that the current generation of disciples is too shameful."
After Queen Xu washed up, the food was finally served. In addition to the white fungus soup and poultry delicacies ordered by Queen Xu, other dishes were also served, filling a large table.
Queen Xu only felt hungry at this moment.
In fact, her pneumonia did not take effect so quickly with Zhang Anshi's medicine. Perhaps it was because her constitution was different from that of later generations. After all, later generations had a certain degree of resistance to this medicine, and this medicine was used on Empress Xu.
, the effect is obviously stronger.
Of course, there are still some coughs occasionally, but for the former Queen Xu, she has recovered from a serious illness.
She was really hungry. In front of her father and son, she ate a bowl of white fungus soup, a pancake, and half a dish of eight delicacies.
Zhu Di, Zhu Gaochi, and Zhu Gaoxu were just enjoying themselves.
At this moment, it seems that I have suddenly returned to the time when I was in Peiping, when Zhu Di was not the emperor and his sons did not have so many thoughts.
The whole family sat around, Zhu Di talked about his experiences of hunting, while Queen Xu only listened with a smile.
Empress Xu then said: "Your Majesty... I feel that my body has improved a lot, and my breath has become smoother all of a sudden. This medicine... is indeed extraordinary. Is the name of the person who donated the medicine Guo Degan? Your Majesty must reward me well."
Zhu Di's eyebrows danced with joy, and he laughed and said: "I have my own sense of proportion."
Zhu Gaochi said: "He saved my son's mother. I don't know how grateful I should be."
Zhu Gaoxu said: "I wish I could be his ox or horse now."
Zhu Di smiled and said: "You are a damn talent, but you dare to say anything."
