Yizhi arrives

Chapter 40

The emperor's health suddenly became very poor, Ben Gong couldn't remember which day it happened, just like spring turned into summer at some point, or started screaming at some point.He often lies on the bed, and there is always phlegm hanging from his throat, and he can hear the sound of "knocking" when he breathes and speaks.

Ben Gong was always afraid that he would choke to death on this mouthful of phlegm, so he would lie on his bedside and feel his pulse and look at his face if he had nothing to do.So much so that the original messy image of the palace in the Red Palace was restored a little bit. People in the palace said that the queen finally had an epiphany during the life and death of the emperor, turned her nature into a good one, and took care of the emperor day and night without thinking about food and drink.

Bengong is really ashamed of such rumors.

"Your Majesty, are you faking your illness?" Ben Gong felt for his pulse, but unfortunately he could only feel a small dot throbbing there, and he didn't know if it was good or bad.Kou Yuan, a doctor who can be called a genius doctor, has never taught Bengong how to treat people. I heard that he is on his way to the capital.

The emperor struggled to speak: "Ahem, you give it to me, pretend to be one, and have a look." He glared at Bengong, and slowly patted the thief's hand that Bengong put on his wrist away.

Bengong helped him stuff his hands back into the quilt and press the corners of the quilt.On such a hot day, his hands were as cold as ice cubes that had been blown by the north wind all night in winter.I couldn't help feeling secretly sad for a while, only to hear him say again, "However, don't worry, it won't be so fast, let you be the queen mother."

"..."

No, he will definitely wait until Zhao Xiaocong marries Feng Ling'er, and Ji Chuxian is unable to stand up before he is willing to see the King of Hades.Because of the emperor's illness, there have been waves of waves in the court.I don't understand these things in the court, I only heard Ji Yue say that the two factions of Ji Chuxian and Ji Moyao have already fought fiercely, and they want to grab the seat of supervisor.

During the silence, the Emperor's restless hand stretched out again and poked the back of Bengong's hand.Bengong was puzzled, so he turned his gaze back to the old man. He blinked his eyes three times and said, "Your birthday is coming soon, ahem, cough, what gift do you want. Next year, I won't be able to give it."

After hearing this, Bengong's eyes became sour, and he suddenly had the urge to cry.

Although the emperor and Ji Yue are based on using me, they are as close to me as family members, and I do treat the old man as a grandfather. Now that my grandfather is going to die, if possible, I am willing to spend ten years of my life Fill his life.

My heart was in a panic, thinking back to birthdays in previous years, but a bowl of Yangchun noodles with a poached egg, Ji Yue said that the greatest blessing is that people can live a stable old age.He also bought presents for Ben Gong, not expensive things, a dough kneader, an opera book, and a piece of clothing. Anyway, it looked like he bought it on the street.

"emperor."

"Um……"

"Since you can't send it next year, why don't you send my concubine to someone who can replace you this year."

The emperor didn't know why, but he was afraid that Ben Gong would cheat him, so he didn't agree immediately, and asked cautiously: "What do you mean? Cough cough, Eunuch Ji, didn't I already give it to you?"

Who wants him!
"The Song family came to recognize relatives a few days ago, but the emperor never agreed, but the concubine wants to recognize the ancestors and return to the clan, so that in the future, my elder brother and younger sister can replace the emperor and give me birthday gifts every year." The idea that popped up in a flash of inspiration was very good. Although I am used to having no parents, no blood relatives since I was a child, I really want to find them back in my private heart. Since they are by my side, as long as the emperor agrees.

"You... hey..." The emperor sighed, twisted his neck and turned his head inward.He has been suppressing this matter, and Bengong also knows about it.At the beginning, he looked disgusted, and sure enough, he disliked my family background, a scholar, a farmer, a businessman, and Ning Rongge was at the bottom, let alone a dead man's business, which is unlucky.

Bengong begged him: "Your Majesty, my concubine has inquired about it. Ningrong Pavilion is now being managed by my concubine's elder brother Song Zhiyou. His parents are both dead, so I don't need to take revenge for being abandoned when I was a child. You also know Song Zhiyou, he is not someone who is greedy for glory and wealth and wants to cling to the palace, the emperor doesn't have to worry about his concubines being used again."

The emperor's little head turned back, "What are you talking about! Could it be that I have been here, cough cough cough, using you!"

Is not it.

Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao will be here, Xiao Gonggong came in and announced that it was someone from Ningrong Pavilion.Ningrong Pavilion's royal funeral is just like the emperor making a will to pass on the throne. It must be finalized while the person is alive, otherwise the death will be unsatisfactory and the reincarnation will not be at ease.

"Song Zhiyou kowtowed to the emperor, long live the emperor."

"Ahem, cough, how old are you? Both feet have stepped into the coffin."

Song Zhiyou seemed a little embarrassed kneeling there. You said that he was doing funerals. Who would like to see such a person when he was alive, just like the crow outside the window? gun.Ever since Bengong believed that she was a concubine born to a concubine of the Song family, she has a very strong sense of belonging. Seeing that her elder brother is difficult to be a man, she immediately opened her mouth to defend her shortcomings: "Your Majesty, don't be too rigid about your body. You have a soul, and your soul never dies, even if the living cannot see your soul, your spirit of devoting yourself to the people of Great Zhou will last forever!"

In exchange for the old man's unstoppable coughing and wheezing.

Song Zhiyou glanced at Bengong, his eyes were a bit complicated, and gratitude accounted for a small part of it, and more of them were "Your Majesty is indeed my girl with an out-of-character personality!" and "If the emperor is coughed to death by this sentence, Does our family count as a regicide, and we want to copy and kill all members of the nine clans!"

Bengong stroked the broken hair around his ears, and brewed his lines, thinking that our elder brother came to the palace this time for business, so we have to wait for him to finish his business before talking about recognizing the ancestors and returning to the clan.Then he signaled Song Zhiyou to talk about things quickly.The emperor's mausoleum was actually started at the place chosen by Jiuning Mountain when he ascended the throne. I heard that every generation of emperors is like this, probably because they are afraid that something will happen to them, and it will not be decent in a hurry. Worrying about entering the palace is nothing more than some trivial matters in the later period.

The emperor never cared about those things, he just asked: "Empress Jingwu, who is the farthest from me?"

He was ambiguous and lacked attributive words, and it took Bengong a moment to realize that he was unwilling to be buried with his dead eldest wife, not only unwilling, but also very, very disgusted.It is said that one night couples are a hundred days of kindness, why does the old man not wait to see Empress Jingwu so much?It's not that the Empress Dowager arranged the marriage, they were also in love before.

Immediately, my whole body trembled, and I blurted out: "Your Majesty, I won't sleep with you after my concubine dies! Don't make room for this concubine! We signed an agreement on this matter!"

Song Zhiyou beside him was stunned.

"Cough cough cough, for me, get lost—"

■

In the end, the emperor let go of the matter of admitting relatives.As a result, the news that the queen empress is actually the eldest lady of Ningrong Pavilion was spread in the capital and even the whole world with lightning speed. .

The palace also asked Ji Yue to help draw up the Daoyi decree and send it to the gate of Ningrong Pavilion to read word by word to everyone. He explained the whole process of recognizing relatives in a very official way, and gave some non-painful gifts by the way. He also asked the emperor to ask Song Zhiyou for a vain job with a nice name, and one thing was considered a complete merit.

During a few days, Doctor Kou Yuan arrived from June City, and the emperor's condition improved, and he could barely sit up.But Ben Gong overheard Kou Yuan talking to the master by accident. He only heard Kou Yuan sighing all the time, and he also said that he was at the end of the battle, that he was exhausted, and the situation was not optimistic.

When Kou Yuan saw Ben Gong, he smiled and saluted.He still had that unrestrained appearance, and the lazy Ruifeng could not see any benevolence in his eyes. "I haven't seen you for many years, Ah Mi has become a big girl, hey, I'm old." She doesn't treat Ben Gong as a queen at all.

Naturally, Bengong is not a person who puts on airs. Just because Kou Yuan helped Bengong cure his illness, Bengong should repay his kindness with grass. What's more, he helped Ji Yue take care of Bengong for three years, which really wasted his life. So young that Kou Yuan is still a bachelor.

"Kou Yuan, when I go back, I will give you a Taoist decree, and I will give you a golden plaque of the Miracle Doctor Hall to hang outside the Temple of Intoxication, and keep the big guys rushing over to crush the threshold." Bengong said boldly, without any time The gap left between the two.

Unexpectedly, Kou Yuan said: "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Ah Mi, Shenzui Dongfengguan has closed its doors, I won't be leaving in the capital for a short time."

Before Bengong could ask the whole story, Ji Yue's sarcastic voice sounded behind him, "Kou Yuan is now the chief doctor of the imperial hospital, a third-rank official, why do you need that broken medicine hall?" Turning his head, he met Ji Gonggong's sharp and shrewd black eyes. He was sucked into the two small vortexes in his eyes for a while and lost his mind for a moment, and then he was so ashamed and indignant that my old lady was raped by this guy's beauty. I think Master is so handsome!
Ji Yue must be very nervous about Yanbian Bengong's sudden nymphomania and fury, grabbed Bengong's wrist and was about to hand it to Kou Yuan, and said: "Hurry up and show her, is she fully recovered?"

Your mother's! (╯‵ ′)╯︵┻━┻, you are not cured, and your whole family is not cured!
Just as Kou Yuan had this intention, he took Ben Gong's wrist to check his pulse. After a while, his brows frowned unconsciously. Seeing his appearance, Ben Gong was shocked. Could it be that Ben Gong is really sick?Kou Yuan was silent for a long time before letting go of Bengong's hand, and pronounced the verdict: "The body seems to be fine, but there is a faint retrograde air in the pulse condition, and the root cause of this disease cannot be cured."

Bengong's teeth were trembling, because he was afraid of death, he asked nervously, "Is he still alive?"

"to make."

He breathed a sigh of relief, "Is it going to live long?"

"I don't know about that." What he said was also true. There are unpredictable things in the sky, and people have good and bad times. He is just a doctor and not a god.

Ben Gong glanced at Ji Yue sadly, if he died earlier than him, Ben Gong would be very reluctant.As soon as I felt reluctant, I looked at him a few more times, but I always felt that I couldn't see enough.Ji Yue was probably taken aback by Ben Gong, and was about to leave, but Kou Yuan grabbed his arm first and led him to a corner, as if he had something secret to say.Of course Bengong was curious, and secretly followed them, intending to eavesdrop, but Ji Yue's fellow was indeed the number one prince in the Jianghu, with superb martial arts, and within twenty steps, Bengong lost them both.

Until Ji Yue appeared in front of Bengong again at night, Bengong's keen sense of smell, oh, but his keen intuition felt that he and Kou Yuan must have said something about Bengong, and this matter made Ji Yue very upset, But he wasn't so upset that he came directly to smoke Bengong, maybe he didn't find a reason to smoke.As for what caused Ji Yue to have such a reaction, I really scratched my head and didn't think of it.

And the answer to this question was only solved on the day of Bengong's birthday.

Bengong's birthday is simply a mystery.

Ji Yue regards the day when he picked up Ben Gong as his birthday.

When I asked Song Zhiyou again, the eldest brother actually said: "Your Majesty, if Father Ji Yue hadn't been so chivalrous to save Your Majesty back then, I'm afraid that the villain would have no chance to recognize your Majesty, so Madam, don't care about your birthday. They are the mother's reborn parents, aren't they?"

Being surrounded by him like this, Ben Gong suddenly felt that it was quite reasonable.

So early in the morning, Bengong stuck to Ji Gonggong with a gift and refused to leave. Ji Yue was impatient, "What bad thing did you do again? Today's birthday is the biggest. Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you as a teacher."

"Where is it, I just want to give Master a gift." Bengong squeezed the gift on his chest. He really didn't know how unsightly it was for a man to see this action. He was quite excited. This is what Bengong said. It was the first time to give him a decent gift, made by myself.

Ji Yue raised his eyebrows, he didn't really believe what Ben Gong said.

"It's my birthday this year. It's rare to have so many people celebrating together. I'm very happy. My elder brother said that if Master hadn't saved me, I would have died long ago. My kindness has grown round like the annual rings of that tree! Master~" Ben Gong was so excited that he wanted to burst into tears.

But the father-in-law took a step back, as if he was afraid of Bengong's hungry wolves and threw him down. Bengong was happy today and didn't care about these details with him. Finally, he took out the gift he wanted to give him from his arms and handed it over .

"This..." Ji Yue didn't dare to take it in a daze, and looked at the things in Ben Gong's hands for a while.This is a wood carving, Bengong made a special trip to Ningrong Pavilion to ask A Piao to learn to make it.Because Ben Gong remembered that when A Piao in Luyi City left the jade shop with a shameless face, she said that she was good at carving, and the carvings on the coffin were all carved by her.

A Piao taught Ben Gong to carve a wooden Ji Yue with his skillful hand of carving a coffin.I don't feel any disobedience at all!

"Is this Guan Gong or Erlang God?" Ji Yue raised his eyes to look at Ben Gong after looking at it for a long time.

Bengong is angry, you are Guan Gong, and you are Erlang God. "...This is Master!" Look at its eyes, its nose, its mouth, it looks alike!
It was obvious that the veins on Ji Yue's forehead were bulging, and he swallowed, but he still refused to accept this special gift from Ben Gong.Just as he was about to use coercion to force him to accept it, he suddenly noticed Bengong's right hand hanging by his side, "Your hand looks like a meat dumpling."

It was not tossed by a carving knife.Ben Gong doesn't like to let people see his ugly appearance, not to mention that this general's words strongly dislike Ben Gong's hand, so it would be embarrassing to show him again.So he quickly retracted into his sleeves, and made a nonsense sentence: "I was scalded by hot buns when I was stealing food."

Ji Yue didn't speak, Bengong was holding the wooden man's left hand and was still half-hanging in the air. When he felt a little sour and was about to put it down, the master suddenly shot and snatched the wooden man. "This gift is for the teacher. It's your birthday today. If you have any requests, just ask. After this village, there will be no such shop."

Tsk, Master, you are so arrogant.
