Chapter 354 Sudden Illness

Guo Yuanzhou gave a soft "hmm", lowered his head and dusted his robe.

A penetrating jade bead hung from the crown made by the crown prince, and the bead was as cold as water, scraping the tip of Guo Yuanzhou's nose.Deep in the bottom of his lowered eyes, a pinpoint of sharpness quickly flashed across, but soon, he raised his head again, the expression on his face was still the calm and peaceful expression just now, and the smile on his lips With a hint of admiration, he sighed and said: "The emperor brothers are all resting. I haven't seen them for a long time, and I miss them very much."

He deliberately abandoned the self-proclaimed "Ben Gong", and smiled as he spoke.That peaceful and harmless smile contained a touch of concern, which was in line with the attitude that a generation of princes should treat their elder brothers.

The large group of people turned to the forked road on the west side, walked for about a quarter of an hour, and then stopped.

At this time, they were already in a rather large area. The southeast corner of this area was surrounded by several exquisite palace gates, forming an irregular semicircle, while the northwest corner was one of the inner lakes of the palace. Mingxin Lake.

Although the lake is not too big, it is still misty and misty. Even in this weather, gulls and herons can often be seen flying by with their wings fluttering, their long feather tips cutting across the lake surface, creating ripples.

To be precise, this place has gone beyond the scope of the inner palace, but it is still located in the imperial city, where several adult princes live.Although there are several palace gates in front of us, there is only one unified name here - "Guangming Palace".

Compared with the East Palace where the prince lives, Guangming Palace is obviously several times larger. Each prince has his own palace, and each palace has its own palace gate. The palaces are separated by high walls, and the inner gate Connecting each other can close the door to form a unity without hindering the exchanges between brothers.

If it is said that the East Palace is solemn and luxurious, then the Guangming Palace is known for its beauty and elegance, with brackets hanging down from the stars, flying eaves holding the moon, and the flat lake in the wide area is like a mirror. Xuanli, with a bit of the graceful taste of the south of the Yangtze River, can be called a palace with excellent scenery.

In addition, Guangming Palace has another main entrance, which is on the east side of Jinshui Bridge. It only takes half a quarter of an hour to ride a horse from that gate to reach Deshengmen, the most prosperous metropolis.

From this point alone, it can be seen that Emperor Zhongyuan did not treat his sons blindly harshly, but rather accommodated them, as can be seen in this residence that connects the inside and the outside, and the actions of the princes can also be called Freedom, as long as the number of times they go out is not too frequent, Emperor Zhongyuan will not be too restrictive about them.

Of course, these are also things before the assassination.

Today's Guangming Palace, the palace gate near Deshengmen has been locked, and ten times the usual number of golden guards have been sent to guard it strictly, and no one is allowed to enter or leave.If the princes want to go out, they can only choose the gate on the side of the palace.

Even so, the princes had not been out of Guangming Palace for a long time.

As early as the day when the assassination incident happened, Emperor Zhongyuan summoned the princes of the court in a fit of anger, and discussed secretly for a long time in the upper study room. The residence is "safe and restful", and they are not allowed to go out without reason.If you must go out, you must also submit a form to Emperor Zhongyuan, stating in detail the reason for going out, as well as the date, time, place, etc., and you can only leave after getting permission.

This decree has a very clear implication of confinement, but the great Chen Zhugongs are all noncommittal about it. It is clear at a glance that they must have reached some kind of agreement with Emperor Zhongyuan.

In such a situation, people with discerning eyes can see it clearly, and the princes quickly understood what it meant.Even if they can't understand for a while, the counselors and followers around them are not in vain, so someone will naturally point them out.

Obviously, Emperor Zhongyuan was wary of his sons.Although he didn't understand where his wariness came from, the most sensible thing to do at this time was to stay quietly and not do anything superfluous.

Therefore, no matter whether there are ghosts in their hearts or not, the princes all stayed behind closed doors and really "rested" in Guangming Palace.It wasn't until the news of the assassination of the eighth prince of the Tang Dynasty that the atmosphere of the government and the opposition was slightly relaxed.

To some extent, the death of the eighth prince of the Tang Dynasty weakened part of Emperor Zhongyuan's suspicion of his sons, but it could not finally make him feel relieved.Therefore, the actions of the princes are still greatly restricted, and it is very inconvenient to come and go.

Only Crown Prince Guo Yuanzhou, because he was the crown prince of a country and the only one who almost died in the assassination incident, Emperor Zhongyuan was kinder to him than before, and he could go to Shoucheng Hall every day to pay his respects, and occasionally he could get An opportunity to discuss matters with you.

Unfortunately, today's Guo Yuanzhou was not very lucky, Emperor Zhongyuan ordered him to leave directly, so he turned to Guangming Palace on the way back to the East Palace, wanting to visit his imperial brothers.

However, the princes obviously didn't intend to give their prince brother a chance to show respect as brothers and sisters.

Several servants who were sent out came back soon, and their faces were not very good-looking. One of the servants who was older and well-looking, seemed to be the leader of the group of servants, and he had a pale face. His face hesitated for a while, before he came to Guo Yuanzhou, bowed his waist and said: "Your Highness, we have all gone to deliver a message, and several of your Highnesses said... a little uncomfortable, and I am afraid that I will disappoint Your Highness." Please forgive me, Your Highness."

"Oh, it's actually like this..." Guo Yuanzhou seemed a little surprised, but also a little regretful. He sighed and asked, "Why are the emperor brothers feeling unwell? Are they sick together?"

His gentle voice was blown away by the lake wind, and the concern in that tone was not too much, just at the most suitable degree.

The waiter bowed down again, and his voice became softer: "Yes, Your Highness. Several Your Highnesses are sick. The reason is that His Highness had a cold a few days ago. His Second Highness, His Highness Third and His Highness Fourth went to When I visited him, I somehow got over my sickness and caught a cold. Now the palace doctor has prescribed medicine, and several His Highnesses are taking decoction according to the prescription. Several Highnesses said, no Asking His Highness to visit him is because he is afraid that His Highness will be overwhelmed with illness and hurt His highness's golden body. His Highness also specially asked me...to let me...give the prescription to His Highness for review."

While talking, he took out a folded piece of paper from his sleeve, raised his hands above his head, and brought it to Guo Yuanzhou.

Guo Yuanzhou looked at the piece of paper, his eyes were as gentle as ever. After a while, he just smiled and said, "This is...cough cough cough..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly coughed, this cough was very violent, he bent over, half bowed, coughing loudly, for a while he couldn't speak at all, and of course, he couldn't even take care of it. Take that prescription.

　Push the book, push the book, friends who are in the book shortage, don't miss it, the recommendation of the end of this book-my friend Xianke completed the masterpiece "Strategy of the White Lotus", which is exciting and tricky all the way, not to be missed.
