Chapter 49 Summoning
Zhao Xing coughed for a while before feeling better.
Then he saw his father, Queen Cao and his mother and concubine surrounding the bed, looking at him with excitement and worry.
The eyes of the three people were slightly red, with tears in their eyes, and their eyes were bloodshot.
Beside the bed, an old man with silver hair and beard was taking his pulse.
Seeing Zhao Xing looking over, the official said excitedly: "Fu'er, how are you feeling? Do you feel any discomfort?"
"My son is fine, but my father, the emperor, mother, stepmother and concubine are worried." Zhao Xing forced out a smile and said.
At this time, his head was still a little groggy, but it was much better than when he woke up last time and he was able to think.
Zhao Xing also knew what happened. He seemed to have a fever, but he didn't know how long he had been asleep.
Empress Cao and Concubine Zhu cried with joy and ordered people to get some food.
"Your Majesty."
The imperial doctor took Zhao Xing's pulse, put Zhao Xing's hand into the quilt, and stood up.
"How is it? How is Fu'er's condition?" the official asked quickly.
"Return to Your Majesty!"
The imperial doctor bowed and said: "Your Highness, the wind and cold were caused by the evil wind entering the body. Now the heat is slowly subsided. All you need to do is take medicine on time and cultivate yourself. It won’t be a big deal in time.”
The official breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, waved his hand and said: "You have done a good job. You will stay here these days. When Fu'er recovers, I will reward you heavily."
"This is all This is what I should do. If your Majesty has no other instructions, I will leave first." The imperial doctor said.
"Go ahead." The official waved his hand.
After the imperial doctor left, several people began to greet Zhao Xing and ask questions.
Zhao Xing also learned from his father and the others that he had been in a coma for more than a day, and it was already late at night.
He suddenly fell ill and fell into coma, which frightened the officials.
When I heard the news, I almost fainted.
Zhao Xing's illness was wind-cold. According to the imperial doctor's guess, he had nightmares and had some cold sweats while sleeping at night.
As a result, he kicked off the quilt again, which caused the evil wind to enter his body and gave him a cold.
After Zhao Xing heard this, he smiled bitterly in his heart. Although he didn't know whether he had kicked off the quilt, the imperial doctor's guess was good. He did have a nightmare that night.
As the saying goes, you have something to think about every day and something to dream about at night.
He has been thinking wildly during this period, and had several dreams when he went to bed last night.
Yes, just a few.
He no longer remembers the specific circumstances of the dream. He only remembers that he died several times in the dream.
Some died of illness, some were poisoned, and some were even assassinated.
In other words, his illness this time was entirely caused by scaring himself.
When the palace maid brought the food, and the mother-in-law personally fed him two bowls of porridge, Zhao Xing made an excuse that he was sleepy and wanted to rest.
Let Father and the others go back to rest.
Although he had been sleeping before, from the tiredness on their faces and the bloodshot eyes, one can imagine how worried they were after hearing the news.
After his father and the others left, Zhao Xing did not feel sleepy at all. He called Sanshui over and asked about his situation after he fell into coma.
Not long after he fell into coma, the imperial doctor came over, and Empress Cao, the Houji official family, and others hurried over.
When he heard the imperial doctor's speculation, the officials were so angry that they ordered the maids who were serving him to be dragged down and beaten to death.
From the official's point of view, it doesn't matter whether Zhao Xing got cold due to stepping on the quilt.
Zhao Xing is ill, and these people who serve him must be responsible.
After all, according to the rules, even when Zhao Xing is sleeping, someone must guard him and take a look at him from time to time.
And he also needs a place to vent the anger in his heart.
It was Empress Cao who begged for mercy, saying that Zhao Xing was ill now, so she wanted to leave those people a way out first and then pray for Zhao Xing.
The officials spared their lives, but they were still beaten twenty times each, which cost them half their lives.
After Zhao Xing listened, he was silent for a while and said, "Go to the imperial doctor and ask him to prepare some medicine and deliver it to the person who is being punished."
It's him. If you don't like having someone watch you in the room when you sleep, and don't let the palace maids stay to watch you, you can't blame them for this.
"Yes." Sanshui responded and hurried away. Zhao Xing glanced at the maids standing in the room and wanted them to go down. When he thought of the maids who were being punished and knew that it would be very difficult for them to go down at this time, he asked them to put down the tents.
I don’t know if it was due to the serious illness. Zhao Xing was a little anxious before, but now he was extremely calm.
Even if I think about the possibility of dying, my heart is calm, as if I have suddenly realized something.
Zhao Xing had developed a mental illness because of his random thoughts.
At this time, he also figured out that instead of worrying about what is there and not scaring himself, it is better to live in the present.
As a reborn person, I have lived two lives, so I am not losing anything.
He felt relieved, and the illness was not completely cured yet. Zhao Xing felt that his eyelids were a little heavy and he slowly fell asleep.
......
Zhao Xing rested for several days before his body fully recovered.
His disease has touched the hearts of many people.
Some are worried about him, and some are looking forward to his death.
Those who are looking forward to his death are naturally the clan members.
Before Concubine Zhu Guifei became pregnant with Zhao Xing, the civil and military officials of the DPRK had petitioned officials to adopt the clan.
If Zhao Xing died of illness, it would be almost impossible for the official to have any more children at his age.
At that time, the only option was to choose an adoptive son from among the descendants of the clan and establish him as the crown prince.
When they learned that Zhao Xing was ill, those who consciously had the chance to be selected all looked forward to his death.
Zhao Xing didn't know this. After he was completely recovered from his illness, he returned to Zishan Hall and continued reading.
......
Nearly a hundred years after the founding of the Song Dynasty, most of the houses in the inner city were owned. Houses in the outer city close to the inner city became the first choice of officials.
Jiying Lane is located in the east of the outer city, not far from the inner city. Most of the people living here are third- and fourth-rank officials in the court.
After the old lady of the Sheng family won the lottery, he bought a house with more than 20 acres here.
Sheng Hong was named on the gold list and has been serving as a local official, so the house became vacant.
Over the years, many people have contacted the Sheng family to buy this house, but they were all rejected by Sheng Hong.
Sheng Changbai has been living here since he entered Beijing.
At this time, two middle-aged men were sitting in the main hall of the Sheng family, one of whom was Sheng Hong.
The other one is in his forties, with an elegant face. He looks like a scholar who has read poetry and books
In fact, he is a businessman. This person is Sheng Wei from the Sheng family. .
Although Sheng Wei was a merchant, he also studied in his early years and studied with Sheng Hong.
But he had no talent in reading, so he gave up writing and went into business. With the support of Mrs. Sheng, after many years of hard work, he also earned a considerable family fortune.
Sheng Hong's success today is due to the help of the Wang family, which is related to his own tact and prudence, but Sheng Wei's help is also crucial.
This time when Sheng Hong went to Beijing to report on his work, he also brought a large amount of money with him to help Sheng Hong with his expenses.
"Brother, the Ministry of Civil Affairs has made an appointment, and I have been promoted to the rank of Shangshutai, the sixth rank." Sheng Hong said with a smile.
“Really?” Sheng Wei exclaimed.
Although he is engaged in business, he also knows something about official positions.
He didn't know exactly what Shangshutai was doing, but Shangshutai was where the princes worked.
In other words, Sheng Hong was directly promoted to a capital official this time.
"If the official from the Ministry of Civil Affairs said it himself, there is no truth in it." Sheng Hong said with a smile.
"Then the gift we gave before was too light? How about giving another one as a replacement?" Sheng Wei said.
"It's better to go too far than too little. After I enter Beijing, there will be plenty of opportunities." Sheng Hong pondered for a while and said.
"Lord!"
At this moment, Dongrong hurried in and said: "An angel came outside, saying that the official family summoned the Lord to the palace to meet the saint."
