Expensive marriage: The concubine is begging for peace again today

Chapter 387 Illness
After the Queen Mother passed away, Emperor Xuanzhi ordered the princes, officials of the fourth rank and above, princesses, concubines and other wives to enter the palace and cry.

It was decreed that the clan and ministers of civil and military affairs should wear plain clothes within 49 days, slaughtering was prohibited for [-] days, and banquets and marriages were not allowed within one year.

Emperor Xuanzhi complied with the Daqin Code and gave the Empress Dowager a posthumous title: Empress Dowager Xiaodingzhen Chunqin Renduansubi Tianzuo Holy Empress Dowager.

And declared that "the empress dowager, my biological mother, has gradually become disobedient since the autumn order of this year, and has repeatedly used soup and medicine for conditioning. Wear filial piety for a hundred days, wear plain clothes for 21 months, and mourn a little."

Emperor Xuanzhi stopped his court for five days and stood guard with Jiang Changning in front of the coffin.

In just a few days, the mourning Emperor Xuanzhi looked very haggard. What worried Jiang Changning most was that he hadn't had a drop of water these days.

Jiang Changning personally cooked a bowl of Changchun noodles for Emperor Xuanzhi, "I burned my hands cooking this bowl of noodles, please Your Majesty, for the sake of my concubine's hard work, eat some more or less, okay? "

"Where's the injury?" Emperor Xuanzhi took the bowl, put it aside, and grabbed Jiang Changning's hand for a closer look.

"Here, it hurts." Jiang Changning said the burn was just an excuse, but Emperor Xuanzhi wanted to see the injury, so she had no choice but to show him the little red spot that was scalded by the sparks from the hand warmer yesterday.

Seeing the little red dot on the back of her hand, Emperor Xuanzhi frowned, "You're not used to doing things on the stove, why bother to do it, it hurts yourself, it makes my heart ache."

"Your Majesty didn't eat and broke his body. I am not only distressed, but also worried."

Emperor Xuanzhi was silent for a moment, "Eat noodles with me."

Jiang Changning nodded, took a small bowl and took out half of it, "Your Majesty, eat."

The couple finished the bowl of noodles quietly, rinsed their mouths, and went to burn papers before the coffin.

The empress dowager's mourning hall was placed for 27 days, not because Emperor Xuanzhi didn't want to keep it longer, but because the weather was getting colder and colder, and it was too painful to send a funeral in the twelfth lunar month.

The day before the funeral, at the beginning of Shen Shi, the empress dowager's body was buried.

According to the etiquette system, the Empress Dowager's Zigong, the inner coffin and the outer outer coffin, are painted with colorful phoenixes.

After sending the Empress Dowager into the underground palace, on the way back, Emperor Xuanzhi leaned on the brocade mat with his eyes slightly closed.

Jiang Changning thought that he closed his eyes and rested his mind, and didn't disturb him, and she was also working hard, leaning to one side, silently in a daze.

After a while, Jiang Changning heard that Emperor Xuanzhi was breathing very heavily, and when he looked carefully, his cheeks were flushed abnormally.

"Your Majesty." Jiang Changning called softly, but Emperor Xuanzhi didn't respond.

Jiang Changning reached out and touched his forehead, which startled her, the forehead was hot.

"Stop, stop quickly." Jiang Changning shouted.

After shouting, looking back, Emperor Xuanzhi still had his eyes closed, and seemed to have passed out.

"Queen, what's the matter?" Chuan Wang was near the Luan chariot, and when he heard the sound, he hurried over to pat his horse.

"Your father is ill, hurry up and announce the imperial physician." Jiang Changning pulled the window and said eagerly.

"Mother, don't panic, my son will go to the imperial physician right now."

Just as the ship lord was about to get off his horse, Chang Youzhong said, "My lord will accompany your majesty and your empress, and this old slave will go to the imperial physician."

"Okay." The ship lord agreed.

The imperial physician's car followed behind, and as soon as Chang Youzhong came to call, the two imperial physicians crawled over.

Imperial physician Xue is very old, and the two imperial physicians accompanying him this time, one surnamed Luo and the other surnamed Zhang.

Imperial Physician Zhang succeeded Imperial Physician Xue, and Jiang Changning was familiar with him, so he asked him to take the pulse of Emperor Xuanzhi first.

Emperor Xuanzhi's body has always been in good health, and he has never been sick since he ascended the throne. When he fell ill suddenly, not to mention Jiang Changning panicked, even the imperial physician was terrified.

The empress dowager was buried now, the emperor will have another accident, and the sky will collapse!

Doctor Zhang held his breath and concentrated on taking the pulse of Emperor Xuanzhi. After a long time, he said: "Empress Empress, Your Majesty has got it."

While talking, Emperor Xuanzhi woke up suddenly, opened his eyes, "What's going on?"

"Your Majesty, don't you feel any discomfort?" Jiang Changning supported him.

Emperor Xuanzhi was dizzy, he knew he was ill, but he still said: "It's just a minor illness, hurry back to the palace, don't waste time on the road."

Jiang Changning thought so too, and he couldn't boil medicine here, "Doctor Zhang, are there any pills that His Majesty can take?"

"Yes." Imperial Physician Zhang took out a small porcelain bottle from the medicine chest, and poured out three soybean-sized pills from it, "This is Zixue Dan, which can clear away heat and detoxify."

Jiang Changning poured the water himself, and waited for Emperor Xuanzhi to drink it, "Hurry back to the city."

The convoy continued to move forward, but the sudden stop still aroused speculation from the princes and ministers behind, "What happened?"

"It seems that the imperial physician has been announced."

"Who's sick?"

"do not know."

Even if you know it, you can't say it.

In the luan car, Jiang Changning took a good look at Emperor Xuanzhi, and found that he was not getting better, so he hurriedly asked Chang Youzhong to get cold water, soaked the veil, wrung it half dry, and applied it to his forehead.

Shocked by the cold veil, Emperor Xuanzhi opened his eyes, and Jiang Changning's worried eyes met his eyes. He tugged at the corners of his mouth, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

"Don't talk." Jiang Changning grabbed his hand and pressed his Hegu acupoint. She remembered that among the four antipyretic acupoints, there was Hegu acupoint.

The emperor was ill, and the Luan chariot ran wildly all the way, and entered the city in a short time.

Seeing Emperor Xuanzhi being carried into the palace, the princes were still stable, Xiao Yuer was extremely nervous, "Queen Mother, what happened to Father and Emperor Father?"

"Your father is fine, he's just too tired." Jiang Changning didn't have the energy to comfort his daughter, and hurriedly followed to Tiancheng Palace.

Physician Zhang went to the imperial pharmacy, "This is the prescription, grab the medicine and boil it quickly."

Helping Emperor Xuanzhi into the bedroom of Tiancheng Palace, Jiang Changning took off his outer clothes, Chang Youzhong took off his shoes and socks, helped him lie down, and covered him with the quilt.

"Let the prince and the others leave the palace and go back to the residence. They are also tired after working for so many days. Take a rest and come back to replace me tomorrow." Jiang Changning said.

When Chang Youzhong said this, although the prince and others were worried, they could only obey.

After a while, the imperial pharmacy brought the decoction, and Jiang Changning called softly: "Your Majesty, wake up, it's time to drink the medicine."

Emperor Xuanzhi woke up, drank the medicine, and frowned, "Is there Coptis chinensis in the medicine, why is it so bitter?"

Jiang Changning smiled, and gave him a small cube of sugar from a small dish, "The medicine tastes bitter, but if you don't put coptis, this medicine is just as bitter."

Emperor Xuanzhi swallowed the sugar, took the warm water from Jiang Changning, "Go back to the palace and have a good rest, are you exhausted these days?"

"I'm not tired, I want to be here with His Majesty."

Emperor Xuanzhi held her hand, "Did I scare you?"

"It's scary for a person who never gets sick to suddenly get sick." Jiang Changning touched his forehead again.

"I just took the medicine, and the fever didn't go down so quickly. I'm in good health, and I'll be fine tomorrow."

It's just that the illness came like a mountain, and the illness went like a silk thread. Emperor Xuanzhi was ill for half a month.

His illness just happened, and Jiang Changning fell ill again.
