Chapter 195 Fainting
Shou Kang Palace.
Although it is still snowing outside, the Emperor’s daily health regimen cannot be interrupted.
He was boxing in a warm and spacious room to recover from his illness. Concubine Zhen, who never entered the small Buddhist hall again, accompanied him. Although she is much younger than the Supreme Emperor, this illness has damaged her roots and she has more gray hair. From a distance, the two of them are really a pair of wealthy and idle people.
“That’s right, that’s right, that’s how you should do the shoulder throw.”
The Emperor looked very serious when giving a demonstration to Concubine Zhen.
When the concubine was ill, she thought she was going to die several times and wrote several poems to him in succession.
My husband is like the bright moon, shining on my sick body.
The long night is cold, the quilt is cold, and the love is true.
Recalling the first time we met, the peach blossoms reflected both of us.
Your heart is like a warm sun, warming my deep dreams.
It’s like where are the spring flowers and the autumn moon now? I miss you deeply and don’t know...and so on.
Every song reminds him of the past, and his heart feels infinite tenderness and... family affection.
When he was young, the queen also wrote poems to him.
They still come and go with each other.
But the queen passed away, and although there were many concubines in the harem, no one wrote poems for him anymore.
Many of them can recite poems in pairs, but they mostly compete with each other.
Occasionally I write a poem, but most of it uses scenery to describe love. This 'love' is not the love of a husband, but a praise of kindness, because he is a king.
Only Concubine Zhen is different.
In her heart, he is not only a king, but also a husband.
The emperor cherishes this feeling.
Especially after the prince passed away, the sons seemed to be the same, but the prince always felt that something was missing.
Their filial piety and concern are all filled with purpose.
The Supreme Emperor sometimes felt sad when he recalled the past.
With less sons, he is worried that something will happen to him and the dynasty will be unstable. But with more sons, they will fight like black-eyed chickens.
The Crown Prince...
The Emperor knew very well that he was becoming more and more suspicious of the Crown Prince because they were adding fuel to the fire.
It’s just the past, it’s past.
The dead must make way for the living.
When they were young, each one of them was so cute. He held them in his arms and coaxed them, hired teachers and study companions for them.
The Supreme Emperor felt that he was a loving father and could no longer bear the pain of losing his son.
He opened one eye and closed one.
It is rare for people to become confused when they are old.
Sometimes if you are a little confused, your life will be easier.
The Supreme Emperor doesn’t want to embarrass himself anymore.
In fact, he has always been reluctant to embarrass himself.
He just wants to live a long life.
Of course, in the process of living a long life, you must also enjoy wealth and glory.
Concubines who are too young are okay to spend the night with occasionally, but they are also the obstacles that prevent him from living a long life.
The Emperor was very restrained towards them.
He has experienced too many women in his life, and now... she is just a toy.
Therefore, the old man cherished Concubine Zhen who had been with him for decades even more.
Especially after her health deteriorated.
"Yes, that's it."
Seeing Concubine Zhen swinging around and looking very good-looking, the Supreme Emperor smiled happily.
"It won't work."
Concubine Zhen smiled, "I'm not as good-looking as the Supreme Emperor. Your Majesty, your posture is upright. You stand like a pine, sit like a bell, and walk like the wind. You are still as good-looking as you were then. ”
"Hahaha! You, try your best to coax me!"
"Who said that?"
Concubine Zhen seems to have been wronged, "If you don't believe me, ask Dai Quan. ”
"The Supreme Emperor..."
When the Supreme Emperor looked over, Dai Quan smiled and patted his belly, which was much bigger than when he was young. "Look at my belly, old slave, and look at yours." The concubine was right.”
“Hahaha~~~”
The Emperor laughed.
Of course, there is also pride in the laughter.
Because of his poor health, he has always paid attention to maintenance.
When he was twenty-nine years old, he got seriously ill and had to be left alone. As a result, the teenage prince took over everything and stayed by his bedside every day to deal with government affairs. He also made public announcements among the people. The famous doctor finally did it again.
And then year after year, I would get sick several times every year.
After a long illness, he became a doctor...
The Emperor tried not to let himself think about how busy his prince had been for him in those years.
"Your Majesty," feeling that something was wrong with His Majesty's laughter, Concubine Zhen hurriedly brought a cup of tea, "Drink a cup of jujube tea, and I will accompany you for a walk in the palace in a while."
"Okay, okay, okay. !”
The Supreme Emperor held back his divergent thoughts and enjoyed his stomach-warming jujube tea.
However, as soon as he took a sip, there were urgent footsteps outside the hall, but when he arrived at the door, there was only a gentle knock on the door.
“What’s the matter?”
Dai Quan glanced at the Supreme Emperor, quickly walked a few steps to the door, and asked softly outside.
If it was a small matter, he would be ready to dismiss it directly.
Now that Princess Zhen is here, everything else... is basically trivial.
"My father-in-law, what's wrong, Mrs. Shi of the Rongguo Mansion asked to see the Supreme Emperor, she..."
"What's wrong with her?"
The eunuch's voice outside was not low. Concubine Zhen could tell that the eunuch couldn't stop him. He must see the Supreme Emperor.
She asked pretending to be very concerned before the Emperor spoke.
"Old Taijun Shi burst into tears, and only said that he must meet the Supreme Emperor."
"Please come quickly!"
The Supreme Emperor's voice was majestic.
It's snowing outside, it's not a big deal, the old lady won't come to him.
“Yes!”
The eunuch outside breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly went to announce it.
"The Supreme Emperor..."
Concubine Zhen seemed considerate and said: "How about inviting the Emperor here too! On this snowy day, it's probably not a trivial matter for Sister Shi to come over."
The words are normal.
However, she knew that the Emperor was very wary of the Emperor because of those who had returned from victory.
The Jia family is a veteran, and everyone around her is telling him tactfully, calling the emperor too, the emperor will be worried that everyone will think he is old and will join the emperor's side.
Oh~
Concubine Zhen knew clearly that on the surface, the Jia family still belonged to the Supreme Emperor, but in fact, they had already joined the emperor's side because of the Shen family of Ningguo Mansion.
I just regret that the Supreme Emperor was still deceived by them.
That old woman of the Shi family tacitly allowed the children in her family to do that, and now she has to go to the Supreme Emperor if something happens...
Concubine Zhen felt that she had to let the Supreme Emperor see clearly who the Jia family was. The talent is.
Anyway, based on her understanding of the emperor, no matter what happened to the Jia family, he would definitely pay attention.
“…accurate!”
The Emperor didn't know how many twists and turns his good concubine's mind would take in just a short period of time.
Anyway, he feels very uncomfortable now.
Dai Quan felt it and hurriedly winked at his confidant, the eunuch.
"Yes!"
The little eunuch bent over and backed up to the door, then carefully opened the door to announce the emperor's arrival.
The Emperor was slightly satisfied.
He can't give the emperor too much face now.
If Dai Quan goes there, it will be too shameful.
But in fact, the emperor at this time didn't care at all about being shameless.
He had long decided that he did not need to be shameless with his father.
In fact, many years ago, he was the most shameless person in this palace.
Now he only cares about the family in Ningguo Mansion.
"Tell our people to go out of the city immediately to look for me."
The emperor was so anxious that he wanted to spin around, "We must save the lives of Shen and Jia Zhen no matter what."
>The old lady of Rongguo Mansion entered the palace at this time. Although she did not ask to see him, she came in crying all the way and did not hide it from him, the master of the palace.
The emperor just didn't expect that those people could be so bold in broad daylight.
"What are you still doing? Go quickly."
"Yes!"
The head of the secret guard waved his hand and left quickly with his brother.
But the emperor still couldn't feel at ease.
A few days ago, when people from Shuntian Mansion and Prince Jin Mansion were wandering around the capital, he felt something strange.
Specially asked the secret guard to check.
Originally, he wanted to watch Dong Xiaoquan fight with the King of Jin, but he was enjoying himself and took advantage of the situation to see if he could help. However, he found out that the source was in Ningguo Mansion.
The emperor is waiting for something good to happen.
This year, whenever he meets Ningguo Mansion, it will be beneficial to him.
Dong Xiaoquan didn’t report it, so he must still be investigating.
Anything he takes seriously is a big deal.
The emperor looks forward to the day when he reports.
But now Dong Xiaoquan has not done anything, but Shen’s life or death is unknown.
The emperor was so angry that he wanted to smash things.
Pick up a pen?
The ink jade penholder is reluctant to part with it.
Pick up the cup...
From the official kiln.
Although a cup is nothing, if he smashes one, the set will be destroyed.
This set costs dozens of taels of silver, which is enough for an ordinary family to live for two years.
The emperor was reluctant to part with it. When he rewards people, he relies entirely on the official kilns to support him.
Finally, he took the approved discount and slammed it twice on the jade case.
“Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty Xuan Shi, the old lady.”
Eunuch Liu hesitated to speak, but there were some things that could not be concealed. "At this time, Concubine Zhen should also be with the Supreme Emperor."
The Emperor: "..."
Bang bang ~~
He hit the fold a few more times.
When King Jin came back in such a mess, he thought that given Concubine Zhen’s intelligence, she would be more honest.
But he didn't expect that when his father's attitude towards him changed, she would hold him back again.
Okay, okay...
The emperor was so angry that he immediately looked for Jiangnan's discount.
There are several reports about the impeachment of the Zhen family in Jiangnan.

Just thinking about the relationship between the Supreme Emperor and Concubine Zhen, he only stayed in the middle.
But now, he doesn’t want to stay in school anymore.
Just show it to the old man.
Hmph, if you want to stay in China, then the old man can do it himself!
The emperor was so angry.
But no matter how angry he was, it wouldn't be as good as when Jia Mu saw Concubine Zhen calling her "old sister" and looking close to her.
This snake and scorpion woman...
Jia Mu was so angry that she almost stopped breathing.
"The Supreme Emperor..."
The old lady covered her chest and knelt on the ground, her body was shaking, and the tears she had held in for a long time fell in clusters, "Please help the Supreme Emperor!"< br>
The way she looked at Concubine Zhen, filled with hatred, helplessness, pain and despair, deeply touched the Emperor.
A large part of the preferential treatment given to Concubine Zhen was due to the Shi sisters who married into the Jia family.
He got along with Daihua and Daishan. Their brothers married sisters from the Shi family. His concubine Zhen called her sister...
"Tell me slowly, what happened, I I will make the decision for you."
"Your Majesty, please send someone out of the city immediately to save my poor nephew-in-law, Mrs. Shen!"
The old lady was crying, but it didn't stop her from being organized.
She didn't behave like ordinary women, who would speak confusedly when she was excited or crying.
"Since the assassination of the King of Jin on August 15th, Shen has been uneasy and has not dared to go anywhere. This time, my nephew Shi Dingtai was favored by the emperor and won the title of Zhongjing for his meritorious service in the border town. Hou, because he was entertaining relatives and friends in Meiyuan, I went to persuade her to come along."
The assassination on August 15th was full of doubts.
It seemed that King Jin was unlucky to be assassinated, but in fact, the old lady believed that with the wisdom of the Supreme Emperor, he must have realized something.
On that day, Shen was ordered by the emperor to find an opportunity for the prince's daughter to marry into the Jia family.
Jia Mu knew that the Supreme Emperor was old and that no matter how useless the King of Jin was, he was still his son.
In the court, he had to use the hand of King Jin to touch the emperor.
She has done this before, borrowing one son to take advantage of another.
But Jia Mu also knows that son and son are different.
Both of her sons were useless, but the emperor's son was different, especially the prince.
After the prince died with his whole family in such a decisive way, the emperor had long suspected all his sons.
That’s why the throne fell into the hands of the current emperor.
The older the Emperor grew, the more he regretted it, otherwise, he would not have married Qin to the Jia family.
By talking about things on August 15th, Jia Mu is implicitly saying that the King of Jin is inseparable from today's events, and secondly, she is talking about the prince's daughter.
The old lady believed that the Emperor knew how good the Jia family was to the Qin family because of the Shen family.
If Mrs. Shen is gone, the life-saving grace will be gone.
The prince's daughter has no supporter in the Jia family.
"To prevent accidents..."
Jia Mu glanced at Concubine Zhen, which made her panic and her face turned pale. "The guards at home brought most of them, but those who returned to the city On the way, someone said that Jia Jing of Taixuan Temple had been suffering from a high fever for several days. , Jia Zhen found a doctor and took eight people to see his father. However, before he could go far, someone set up an ambush on the road, cut off the convoy, attacked with fire, and used crossbows. Shen's carriage was forced to a small road. Now I don’t know whether I will live or die!”
The Supreme Emperor: "..."
His face was already ashen.
Although it is rare to be confused, no matter how confused he is, he knows that this matter is inseparable from King Jin.
And the Jia family also guarded against King Jin.
They repeatedly gave in, and King Jin kept making further progress.
OK OK!
“Here comes someone!”
When calling someone, he clapped his hands twice.
A gray-clothed eunuch came out of nowhere and said, "Your Majesty!" He bowed, as if he was waiting for instructions, "My servant is here."
"Go and find me. Shen, protect Jia Zhen and save Jia Jing!”
"Yes!"
Before he finished speaking, Dai Quan's eyes blurred and he lost sight of the man. He only heard a slight knock on the door in the back hall.
Hiss~
Leaving?
Sweat broke out on Dai Quan's forehead and he lowered his head quickly.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law, I will give you an explanation for this matter..."
What's the use of such mud that can't hold up the wall and can't distinguish between inside and outside?
The Supreme Emperor was so angry that King Jin was so angry that he felt dizzy.
He knew very well what would be the final result of using such a son to suppress the emperor.
His loyal ministers will be forced to the emperor's side by that idiot.
This is what the Supreme Emperor cannot bear the most.
Shi Ding is his man.
The first time he entered the palace, he came to Shoukang Palace to greet him.
The King of Jin moved Shi Ding's guests...
The Jia family and the Shi family, one has one family and two nobles, and the other has one family and two princes.
He put it up for the world to see.
He is telling the world that he is still alive and pays attention to his old minister.
Prince Jin... is so brave.
"Dai Quan, passed on to the emperor, Dong Xiaoquan, and Zhu Si."
The Supreme Emperor was so angry that he said, "Dong Xiaoquan is in charge of Shuntian Mansion, and Zhu Si is in charge of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division. They are all What to eat?”
"Father!"
The emperor who came in a hurry heard this and started calling people before he entered the palace, "Father, you can't be angry!" As he said this, he entered the door, "Dong Xiaoquan and Zhu If there is anything bad about you, tell your son, and your son will scold them. "
At this point, the emperor seemed to see Jia Mu kneeling on the ground, "Mr. Shi, you..."
"Sister-in-law, get up quickly."
The Emperor just realized that the old lady was still kneeling.
He glanced at Concubine Zhen, who was usually very smart, and said: "The emperor gives me a hand."
"Don't dare!"
Jia Mu respectfully knelt down to the emperor again. She bowed her head and said, "I would like to thank the Supreme Emperor for making the decision for my Jia family."
After saying this, she wanted to get up.
But Concubine Zhen looked like she was obviously guilty and worried that Prince Jin would be found out.
If she had her way...
During this journey, the old lady was worried, worried, angry and resentful. She was just about to explain the situation to the Supreme Emperor, but her physical discomfort was suppressed, and now she is kneeling here again. After a long time, as soon as she got up, her eyes became dark.
In the past when she was in the palace, she would have pressed the button, but now...
The old lady fainted when the emperor stretched out his hand.
Fortunately, the emperor was young and realized that something was wrong with the old lady, so he quickly helped her, "Quick, call the imperial doctor!"
...
Shen Ning didn’t know the situation in the palace.
When they followed Fan Daming and Wen Peilan back to the place where the accident happened, the fire on the road had already been extinguished. Jia She and Xing were not in the car, and they were looking forward to it with a group of boys.
"It's sister-in-law, sister-in-law is back."
Xing's cloak was covered with snow.
The master was worried about the Dongfu family and was unwilling to get into the car to avoid the snow. He kept sighing and stamping his feet outside to scare himself.
Of course Mr. Xing couldn't sit still in the car.
She came down and stamped her feet and sighed.
It’s too cold.
Stomping your feet not only relieves cold feet, but also relieves anxiety.
Where is the sister-in-law's carriage going to fall...
Unlike Wang, Xing feels that she has always had a good relationship with Shen Ning's sister-in-law, so her worries are real.
Now that she saw that the person was fine, she was so happy that she immediately came over to him, "Sister-in-law, you scared me to death."
Xing was so happy and scared that tears fell down. .
"...Sister-in-law, have you been attacked again?"
Jia She only saw the three of them, and his face was ashen.
The other party is intertwined with each other, where the eldest brother and Zhen'er are...
"Yes!"
Shen Ning answered Jia She and Xing at the same time, " I'm fine, but I'm afraid something might happen to your eldest brother and Zhen'er, so..."
"I've already sent someone to notify Zhen'er."
Jia She hurriedly said: "If you are lucky, you should have caught up by now."
What if you are unlucky?
Shen Ning didn’t dismount at all.
Following Wen Peilan, she didn't suffer much.
“Whether I catch you or not, I have to go and have a look.”
The old lady's carriage is gone and she must be asking for reinforcements.
If she waits here, if the government does not know enough about the dangers of Taixuan Guan and Jia Zhen...
"Brother and sister, you still have a soft support or ride in the car. "Legs?"
"Ah? There is..."
Xing glanced at her maid, who quickly climbed into the car and took the sheepskin that Xing used to cover her legs. Take out the mattress.
"Peilan, how about putting it in front of you and let's go on another journey?"
"Yes!"
Nothing is wrong.
Wen Peilan went to the north as a escort and encountered even colder times.
What is it now?
Wen Peilan swung his long whip, rolled up the sheepskin mattress, and rolled it in front of him. Shen Ning grabbed it from behind, rolled it up, and protected it with his hands, "You don't have to wait any longer here. Go back immediately. The officers and soldiers will be here soon." When the meeting comes, just show me the way.”
