The fifth wife wants to escape marriage: marry the princess

Chapter 166
Chunhua Palace.

It has been five days and five nights, Concubine Heng is lying unconscious on the bed, and all the imperial doctors are waiting for orders in Chunhua Palace.Now there is no serious problem, and the child was saved even though the fetal gas was moved, but he did not wake up for the time being.

The imperial doctor has already said that there is no serious problem, but because the concubine Heng is not awake, the emperor has been staying in the Chunhua Palace for several days without thinking about eating and drinking. Concubine Ya and Concubine Yu are very worried, but they can't persuade the emperor, and they have no choice but to violate the emperor's instructions Reported to the Queen Mother.

The empress dowager is old, so many things are in charge of the empress dowager, and the empress dowager is in charge of supervising and tracing Xiao Junyi's whereabouts. When she heard that the emperor went to Chunhua Palace again, she couldn't help but angrily diverted to the past.

Once entering the Chunhua Palace, the surroundings were eerily quiet. In order not to disturb Concubine Heng's rest, even the maids' greetings were extremely low.

The Empress Dowager went in with anger, originally intending to be furious, but after seeing him for two or three days, the Emperor was so haggard that he couldn't bear it for a while, suppressing the displeasure in his heart, stepped forward and said softly, "The Emperor must put the dragon's body as the most important thing." , there are maids serving here, you go back to the palace to rest first!"

"The son and minister are not tired, and the queen mother doesn't care about it." Xiao Xuanyu replied with a tired voice.

"How can the Ai family not care about it, look at what you have become, be obedient, go quickly, leave this place to the maids, you are the emperor, and shoulder the responsibility of the country, you must take care of your body, don't be willful!" Queen Mother Continue to persuade, and told the maid, "Go and help the emperor back to the palace to rest."

The palace maid stepped forward, but the emperor remained still, "I said, I'm fine, fine!"

Now that Wushuang is in a coma, how can he even think about resting.

Now what he wants most with all his heart is that Wushuang is safe and well. She fainted and lay in front of him quietly, as if she was dead. Only then did he know what fear is.If she really can't wake up, I'm afraid he won't be at ease and happy in his life.

Originally, the Empress Dowager was very dissatisfied with Xiao Xuanyu's long-term affection, and she was very dissatisfied with Wushuang, who was born as a court lady and married before, but now Xiao Xuanyu did not eat or drink because of her, the Empress Dowager had endured it to the extreme, and immediately became annoyed, "Don't forget Now, you are the emperor, you should put the country's affairs at the top of your list, what's the point of staying at a woman's bedside all day long? I'm not afraid of the ridicule of the officials all over the world! Hurry up and leave this Chunhua Palace for Ai's family, there are imperial physicians and maids serving you Isn't that enough?"

"Mother, I have already dealt with the important affairs of the country, and I came here only after everything was settled. Don't worry about it, mother."

"Aijia is not only worried about state affairs, but also about your body."

"I said, I'm fine. If I don't watch here, I don't feel relieved to leave it to the maids."

"The Ai family will stay here, and the Ai family will come to take care of her in person, you should rest assured!" The queen mother was forced to worry.

"If you don't see her wake up, how can I rest assured. Queen Mother, please go back!" Xiao Xuanyu said, took the handkerchief from the hand of the maid, wiped Wu Shuang's face, wrapped a thin gauze around her neck, and her whole face was pale Not a trace of blood.

"It's just a concubine, and it's worth serving the king of a country? Your majesty, you are the emperor, don't forget your dignity, how can you do these things?" The queen mother shyly pulled the handkerchief and threw it into the basin. Angrily scolded the maid, "Why are you standing still, why don't you hurry up to serve, and dare to let the emperor do something, will you eat the bear's heart and leopard one by one?"

The palace maids were frightened and trembling, hurriedly gathered around the bed to wipe Wushuang's face and hands, never daring to let Xiao Xuanyu move, not only that, but also knelt down one after another, "I implore the emperor to put the dragon body as the most important thing, and return to the palace to rest."

The maids begged Xiao Xuanyu on their knees, but he was completely focused on Wushuang, but he couldn't take care of him wholeheartedly at this moment, because he was the emperor, someone who could only be taken care of but could never take care of others.The Empress Dowager thought that he was too serious about his sons and daughters' private affairs and neglected government affairs. However, after Li Ping handed over the emperor's prepared memorial to the Empress Dowager for her review, she had nothing to say.

"In the past few days, I have been dealing with government affairs in Chunhua Palace, and there has never been a single day of neglect. The queen mother can rest assured. If Wushuang is seriously ill, and the sons and officials can't take care of her left and right, what qualifications are there to call her husband?"

"You are not the husband of one person, you are also the husband of Concubine Ya and Concubine Yu, but have you visited them these few days? Concubine Ya suffered from the cold in the hall because she was worried about the health of Concubine Heng and the Emperor. , Now that you can’t get out of bed, why did the emperor ask? And Concubine Yu, you hope that your elder brother will go through life and death for you, and fight on the battlefield, but how do you treat your younger sister? Your majesty, compare your heart, your concubine is not only one Wushuang. The Ai family also doesn't want their son to do anything wrong to cause criticism, and everything is for your own good, not to mention that the assassin has not been captured yet, how can the emperor neglect it?"

"Where is Concubine Ya's illness?" Xiao Xuanyu hurriedly said, "Li Pingxuan the imperial physician will show her."

"No need, the Ai family has ordered someone to look at it. But, no one can compare to the emperor." The queen mother said, wanting Xiao Xuanyu to go.

Xiao Xuanyu looked at the palace servants and eunuchs in the room, and ordered, "Everyone, step back!"

"Yes." After a while, only Wu Shuang, Xiao Xuanyu, and the Queen Mother were left in the bedroom. ,

Sitting by the bed, Xiao Xuanyu looked at the sleeping Wushuang, and said softly, "Mother, do you know why I treat her differently?"

"You wouldn't say she looks like that girl Ah Jiu, anyway, the Ai family can't see anything like that." The queen mother disdainful, she even forgot what Ah Jiu looked like, not to mention, Ah Jiu is still the daughter of Concubine Lan, It's too late for her to hate.

Xiao Xuanyu shook his head, "She used to be by the son's side under the pseudonym Fourteen, that is, the days when the queen mother was trapped in the autumn palace and the son was idle in the palace. Looking back now, it should have been the most difficult period of time. But because of having her company, it became the day that I miss the most. People who love each other in times of adversity are always unforgettable, and the empress mother and I can't forget it, and I can't let it go."

"Listen to what you said, the Ai family understands, it's just the emperor, our mother and son have come to this point with great difficulty, there are too many people who want to see our mother's jokes, and want to pull us down, you must not just because of sitting Take this throne lightly. Only you can rely on the queen mother, and you can only be well if you mourn your family." The queen mother softened her tone, "The mourning family was too strict with you in the past, and it was for your own good, so don't complain Home is."

"All the ministers know, but now the world is peaceful, and the queen mother can enjoy her old age in peace, so don't worry too much, there are still ministers in the court."

"But if Xiao Junyi is not eliminated, the Ai family will not be at ease. I sent people to surround the Xiao mansion secretly, but it was a step too late. The Xiao mansion is already empty, only the concubine is left. Xiao Junyi is ruthless enough, he doesn't even want his own flesh and blood."

Xiao Xuanyu was anxious, "The queen mother must have arrested her!"

"No, you said don't tear your face, how can the Ai family move easily? It's just the emperor, how long will you tolerate him?" The queen mother said, and she couldn't help but annoyed, "This time such a good opportunity, use Ai's The family's birthday was used as a pretense to lure him into the palace, but it was a pity that it was all destroyed. Qianxue, the girl Aijia had already taught her a lesson, and she dared to help outsiders escape. As for Princess Suxin, although it was an accident, but without her, Aijia would not be able to escape. Will Xiao Junyi run away with bound hands and feet? If that's the case, the Ai family really can't swallow this breath, do you think she might have done it on purpose, or..."

Xiao Xuanyu shook his head, "My mother, don't run away with Xiao Junyi and doubt her. Internal strife is the worst thing at any time. Erchen and Lian Sheng have been close friends for many years. I don't believe he will betray Erchen to help Xiao Junyi. You Don't be suspicious, now we don't have many people we can trust, so don't be confused by your mother. Didn't you already say that you were shot by a poisoned arrow?

"But what if he didn't die?" The queen mother was full of worry. "According to Ai's family, it is best to bring back the troops in the Northwest, or let General Du take over. We must not let it go like this."

"No!" Xiao Xuanyu resolutely objected.

"Why, you still can't make a move? If Xiao Junyi is not dead, you are leaving him a way out!"

"My mother, my son has no legitimate reason to take back the troops of the Northwest, and there is no reason to let General Du take over as the general of the Northwest. Xiao Junyi did not stay in the Northwest overnight, and it is not easy to get rid of his power. What's more, this time Xiao Junyi Yi has won the battle, and you said to take his troops, how can this be justified. We can only wait, and we must not act too hastily."

"The Ai family can't wait any longer. If you don't get rid of Xiao Junyi for a day, the Ai family can't sleep and eat for a day. At worst, send troops to suppress it. It's just a northwest area. Are you afraid that it will fail?" , it is the time when you are proud and complacent, and you want to get rid of your dissidents, and you really can't wait for a moment.

Xiao Xuanyu is the king of a country, under the supervision of all people, how can he kill the good generals in the hearts of the people because of his own selfishness?He was just waiting, and when Xiao Junyi made a mistake, he could be eliminated in a legitimate way.It's a pity that Xiao Junyi was more tolerant than him, and he didn't act excessively, except this time when he entered the palace, but he acted in a mask and never exposed it.

Therefore, we still have to wait for everything, to see who can bear it!
"Mother, don't be in a hurry, you..."

Xiao Xuanyu was persuading the Queen Mother when Wushuang on the bed murmured, and opened her eyes in a daze, feeling a splitting headache. She supported her head with her hands and slowly opened her eyes.

"Wushuang, are you awake?" Xiao Xuanyu was overjoyed, and said loudly, "Come here, announce the Imperial Physician into the palace!"

The people waiting outside the house rushed in immediately, and the uneasiness of these many people for many days was all caused by Concubine Heng. I really don't know if the emperor would be really furious and kill them if something happened to her.

Wushuang was not very sober, and lay on the bed in a daze, letting the imperial doctor diagnose her pulse and check her pulse. After a long time, the imperial doctor replied to the emperor, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the empress has woken up, and there is no serious problem. Rest for a few days and wait for the injury to recover." You can get out of bed and walk around."

"Child... child..." Wushuang fell into a coma for a few days, her throat was dry, Xiao Xuanyu held her hand and said, "Don't worry, the child is fine."

Only then did Wushuang see clearly that the person in front of her was Xiao Xuanyu, her weak body had made her unable to accuse and resent something, let alone lose her temper, she just turned her head to the side.

This move made Xiao Xuanyu embarrassed, but he didn't react. Instead, the queen mother on the side was angry, "The emperor talked to you, why didn't you answer when you heard it? You are just a concubine, and the emperor took care of you for a few days without taking off his clothes. With this attitude, do you still understand etiquette? You are so uneducated, I really don’t know how that woman taught you in Liuli Palace before!”

My own fault, there will always be someone who will magnify it infinitely and implicate many people. Wushuang didn't want to do this, turned her head, and said softly, "I... my concubine doesn't know etiquette, please forgive my sin!"

With that said, he made a gesture to get up.

"Lie down, lie down, your body is tight, don't move around."

Xiao Xuanyu was very nervous, and the queen mother was a little annoyed. Seeing Xiao Xuanyu's attitude towards Wushuang, just like the former emperor's attitude towards the former Concubine Lan, made her inexplicably filled with hatred and jealousy. She always felt that the former emperor's life was a mistake. I don't want my son to do the same.

"Now that you're awake, let's answer Ai's question. The masked person who appeared in Chunhua Palace that day was Xiao Junyi!" Because the other party was masked, even though the queen mother knew it was Xiao Junyi, she still had to do it as usual. Ask, the purpose is to let the courtiers, eunuchs, and imperial physicians present understand clearly.
