Chapter 1126 Day after day
The emperor only slept for an hour before he woke up.
He opened his eyes and saw the Queen Mother, Chu Cang, the Second Prince, and Doctor Bai sitting in front of his dragon bed.
He moved and shouted, "Queen Mother."
"Your Majesty, you're awake." Chu Cong stood up, rushed over, and helped him sit up. The Queen Mother took a big pillow and put it behind his back for him to lean on. "Your Majesty, the food has been prepared for you. You Should we eat now or wait for a while?”
Just because he was worried that he would be too weak to hold on for a while, the emperor would eat first every time he had a good rest.
"Eat now. If you wait a little longer, I'm afraid there won't be enough time." The emperor said.
The queen mother then ordered the maids to bring all the food.
The Queen Mother said to the second prince, Doctor Bai, "You can eat here too, and don't leave."
In the situation of the Emperor, Doctor Bai would not dare to leave the Emperor, and it would be impossible if the Queen Mother and the Queen did not have a man to make decisions. The Second Prince was the most trusted person of the Queen Mother and the Emperor's second uncle. Therefore, the Second Prince For some time now, I have dealt with government affairs at night and stayed by the emperor's side during the day, never leaving him.
There were two tables for dinner. The Emperor Bai and the Second Prince sat at one table, and the Queen Mother and the Empress sat at the same table.
In fact, the Queen Mother and Chu Cong couldn't eat anything, but if they didn't eat, they wouldn't have the strength to guard the Emperor, so they just stuffed a few mouthfuls of rice into their mouths and drank a bowl of soup.
After Chu Cong drank the soup, she went to see the emperor. Seeing that the emperor had eaten a lot and drank two bowls of soup, she felt better.
If you eat more, you will have enough energy and energy to withstand the pain of being cut by ten thousand knives.
"Your Majesty, eat another half bowl of rice, and the Queen Mother will serve it to you." Seeing the Emperor put down his chopsticks, the Queen Mother hurriedly stood up and went over, took away the Emperor's rice bowl, filled the Emperor with half a bowl of rice with her own hands, and placed it in front of the Emperor.
The emperor said helplessly, "Mother, I'm full." If you eat any more, you'll be full.
But the Queen Mother was worried that he wouldn't have the strength to bear the pain if he didn't eat enough, so she advised, "After you eat this bowl of rice, the Queen Mother will accompany you to the yard for a walk in a while."
After saying that, the Queen Mother picked up the serving chopsticks on the table, picked up several chopsticks and put the dishes in the Emperor's bowl. The Emperor couldn't help but look at Chu Cong and looked at Chu Cong, wanting Chu Cong to help him persuade the Queen Mother. .
Chu Xang lowered his eyes and pretended not to see it.
The emperor grunted aggrievedly, picked up the bowl helplessly, and stuffed most of the bowl of rice in one bite at a time.
After eating, the emperor didn't have much time to walk. He went directly to the room and asked Chu Cong to talk to him in the room. The Queen Mother, the Second Prince and Doctor Bai were waiting outside the room.
The onset of the disease was very regular. When the time came, the emperor felt like a thousand arrows piercing his heart. Chu Cang had tears in his eyes and didn't want to go out. He wanted to accompany the emperor, but the emperor didn't want her to look at his embarrassed appearance. He howled, "Xian'er, get out quickly. If you don't want to see me die, just get out."
Chu Cang covered his mouth and ran out whimpering.
As soon as the door was closed, the room was dark. The emperor curled up on the ground in pain and rolled his body into a ball, but he knew that he couldn't bear the pain just like this.
Sure enough, soon, he couldn't stand it anymore.
He bit the handkerchief tightly in his mouth, clenched his fists with painful hands, and punched the ground again and again. Fortunately, the carpet on the ground was thick enough. Even if he hit hard, his hands were not injured. Not a scrap of skin was broken.
After dozens of punches, his body twitched in pain, and his whole body spasmed so violently that he couldn't even hold his fists, and his body couldn't help but roll on the ground, and he let out a broken wail. . Those screams of pain made Chu Cang burst into tears outside, and his heart was shattered into pieces along with the screams.
It was another half hour. After half an hour, the sounds inside stopped, the door was opened, and the second prince rushed in and took the emperor out.
Time after time, day after day, every day, after breakfast, lunch and dinner, the emperor had to endure such inhuman torture.
Because of this torture, the emperor's originally handsome face gradually became thinner. Within half a month, he was as thin as a bamboo pole, with a pound of extra meat on his body gone, and even his body was as stooped as an old man. It makes people look at it and feel extremely distressed.
Fortunately, Doctor Bai is still here, and he has put all his efforts into prescribing dozens of medicinal meals for the emperor to help him regulate his body.
Otherwise, how could the emperor sustain this kind of torture that makes life worse than death for so long?
However, although the emperor was supported, looking at his increasingly thin figure, Chu Chong and others were still extremely worried about his health.
Every night when Chu Cang went to bed, he would hold his skinny body in his arms, and his tears would flow out uncontrollably.
When I hugged him before, his body was warm, reassuring, and very comfortable.
Holding him now, his body was still warm, but instead of feeling relieved, he felt worried and a little achy.
However, even if he hugged him again, Chu Cang would hold him tightly and not let go, because she didn't know how long she could hold this body.
If her little master is unable to do anything about this strange disease, then... this body may disappear at any time.
The thought of not being able to hold him to sleep in the future made Chu Cang's heart hurt as much as a thousand arrows piercing her heart, but she didn't dare to cry in front of him for fear of shocking him.
However, how could the emperor not notice it?
He sighed, hugged Chu Cang tightly, and sighed softly in her ear, "It would be great if my mother-in-law had chosen you as my wife when I was eighteen years old. Then we could have many more children." After being together for a few years, maybe we will have several legitimate sons and daughters by now.”
Chu Cong felt sad, but when he heard what he said, he still gave a rare laugh, "At that time, how old was I to marry you? And, I remember, the person you were engaged to for the first time was My little master?”
"Yes, it's Chu Yu." The emperor nodded and sighed, "It's true that things and people have changed. I didn't expect that ten years ago, I failed to marry Chu Yu, but ten years later, I married her maid."
"What, do you regret it?" Chu Cang asked deliberately.
She knew the emperor's thoughts about her mistress before entering the palace, but she didn't mind. Her mistress was so good that any man would fall in love with her. It was reasonable that the emperor would fall in love with her.
What's more, since she married the emperor, the emperor has been very kind to her and doted on her. It can be said that since he had her, the emperor has never been to the houses of other concubines.
The emperor always said that he should be like the prince. If the prince can pamper and be loyal to one woman for the rest of his life, then so can he.
Therefore, the emperor dotes on her very much.
And she also fell into his tenderness and fell in love with him.
Although she didn't know if the emperor still liked the little master, she knew that all she could do was to try hard to transfer the emperor's favor from the little master to her.
