Chapter 205 Minglan wakes up
Minglan didn’t know how long it had been like this, but the images of Old Mrs. Sheng and Wei Xiaoniang appeared in her mind.
There are still people in this world who are worried about her, and she cannot make those people sad.
Just like that, she felt as if she had some control over her body. She tried hard to open her eyes, but her eyelids felt as heavy as mountains.
I don’t know how long it took, but a glimmer of light appeared in the darkness, which was very dazzling.
Minglan instinctively closed her eyes and opened them again after a while.
"Girl, you finally woke up!" Xiao Tao cried with joy when she saw Minglan open her eyes.
Minglan looked at Xiaotao and moved her mouth, but she didn't even have the strength to speak.
“Yi Ma is here!”
At this moment, the maid’s exclamation came from outside, and Cui Wei quickly pulled Xiao Tao away.
"Doctor, my girl is awake, please take a look."
Doctor Ma nodded, sat down and took Minglan's pulse.
Minglan was unconscious for so long and didn't wake up. He thought he was hopeless, but he didn't expect he could wake up.
“Girl!”
Xiao Tao and Cui Wei stood aside, not daring to disturb. Xiaotao saw Minglan closing her eyes again, thinking of the flashback, and cried out sadly.
"Tomorrow!"
Old Mrs. Sheng learned that Minglan was awake and insisted on coming over to take a look regardless of dissuasion.
As soon as I entered the yard, I heard Xiaotao's cry of grief, my vision went dark, and I fainted.
"Mother!" Sheng Hong was startled and quickly called for someone to send Mrs. Sheng back to her room.
Doctor Ma was startled by Xiao Tao. Looking at Xiao Tao who was crying, he seemed to understand a little bit and said: "Miss Sheng is fine, but she is too weak. Now that she has woken up, she has no chance of life. Don’t worry, just live a good life and cultivate yourself for a period of time.”
"Doctor, are you telling the truth?" Xiao Tao stopped crying and looked at Dr. Ma in disbelief.
“Could Dr. Ma still be able to lie to you about a maid?”
Cui Wei was more prudent after all. She scolded Xiao Tao and said apologetically to Dr. Ma: “Doctor Ma, Xiao Tao is also worried. "Girl, this is an offence, please don't blame the doctor!"
"No problem!" Dr. Ma was in a good mood and didn't care. Take it.”
He was also worried about Minglan’s misfortune these days, and His Highness would blame him when he returned.
Now that Minglan wakes up, these worries are gone.
Maybe you can get a reward when you go back.
"Doctor, why did my girl fall into a coma again just after she woke up?" Xiao Tao asked.
"Miss Sheng is not in a coma, but asleep. She was poisoned and her vitality was damaged. She was in coma for several days without eating, and her body was too weak." Dr. Ma said.
Cuiwei pulled Xiaotao to prevent her from asking any more questions, and asked someone to bring pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
Doctor Ma prescribed the prescription and told Cuiwei to call him if anything happened, then he said goodbye and left.

“Husband, the weather is nice today, please go out for a walk with me.” Zhang Guifen said.
Zhao Xing was in a bad mood these days and rarely went out.
"Yeah!" Zhao Xing wanted to refuse, but nodded when he saw Zhang Guifen's worried look.
The two of them left the Spring Harmony Palace and headed to the garden.
The beauty of April in the world is over, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple are beginning to bloom.
It is now April, and many of the flowers in the garden have withered, making them less ornamental.
However, there is a peach forest in the East Palace, and the flowers are in full bloom at this time.
Walking in the peach blossom forest, with the breeze blowing on his face, Zhao Xing felt much relieved.
"I've worried you a lot these days." Zhao Xing said apologetically.
"Husband, you and I are one husband and wife, why should we be so different?" Zhang Guifen shook her head and said, "I also know that my husband is worried about the sixth girl of the Sheng family, but His Highness is not an ordinary person. He has the responsibility of the country and the country. , Your Highness also needs to take care of himself.”
Zhao Xing has been worried these days, and she is really jealous.
Sometimes she couldn't help but think again, if she were like Minglan, would Zhao Xing be so worried about her?
"Gu knows." Zhao Xing nodded and said, "Don't worry, although Gu is worried about her, he will not be depressed because of it."
He was indeed in a bad mood because he was worried about Minglan.
But I won’t be depressed because of Minglan.
It’s just that he has nothing to do now.
While the two were talking, Liu Sanshi came over with a happy face.
"Your Highness, Dr. Ma sent someone to say that the sixth girl of the Sheng family has woken up. She is just a little weak for the time being and needs to take good care of herself for a while." Liu Sanshi bowed.
"Really?" Zhao Xing was delighted when he heard this.
Ming Lan didn't wake up for so many days, he felt that there was little hope, but he didn't expect to wake up.
"How dare I deceive Your Highness? This is what Dr. Ma sent to tell you. If Your Highness doesn't believe it, I can go to the Sheng family and ask." Liu Sanshi said.
Hearing the words, Zhao Xing pondered for a while and said, "Let Yu Liangyuan go. You can get some supplements from the warehouse and go with us."
"Yes!" Liu Sanshi responded after hearing the words, Seeing that Zhao Xing had no other instructions, he bowed and left.
"Husband, can you rest assured now?" Zhang Guifen said with a smile.
Hearing this, Zhao Xing turned to look at Zhang Guifen, stretched out his hand to hold her hand, and said: "Gu has been in a bad mood these past few days, and I have neglected you a little. Guifen, Gu is the prince, and is destined to have many concubines in the harem, but in In a lonely heart, you are the most important.”
The ancients were more reserved in expressing their feelings, even between husband and wife. Zhao Xing's straightforward words made Zhang Guifen blush a little.
"His Highness did not neglect the concubines, but the sisters who entered the palace two days ago. Now that Miss Sheng Liu is fine, His Highness cannot neglect them anymore. If When word spread, others thought it was the concubine who occupied His Highness," Zhang Guifen said.
Zhao Xing took a step forward, put his arms around Zhang Guifen's waist, and brought her close to him. He looked down at her and said with a smile: "You really want to push me to other women?"
"Your Highness." Zhang Guifen blushed and pushed Zhao Xing.
This is in the garden, and there are a group of palace maids and eunuchs following behind.
"Answer Gu!" Zhao Xing hugged her tightly and did not let go.
"The concubines are the Crown Princess, so naturally they cannot occupy His Highness all the time. Moreover, they were chosen for His Highness by His Royal Highness. If His Highness neglects them, the Royal Father and Queen will also be unhappy," Zhang Guifen said.
"Are you afraid that your father, the emperor, and your mother will blame you? You don't care at all?" Zhao Xing looked at Zhang Guifen and said, "Look into Gu's eyes and say."
"Concubine...Concubine..."
Zhang Guifen opened her mouth. She wanted to say she didn't care, but looking into Zhao Xing's eyes, she couldn't say anything against her will.
How could she not care.
It is normal for men to take concubines, and she is mentally prepared for it.
But she and Zhao Xing had only been married for a few days. First, Zhao Xing was worried about Minglan, and then he brought four women back.
She is also a woman, so how could she not care.
But this is royalty!
She is the crown princess, the future queen, and she wants her mother to honor the world.
Before getting married, her father and mother told her to be generous, and she had to do this.
Zhao Xing showed a smile, stretched out his hand to pinch Zhang Guifen's face, and said with a smile: "Gu said, you are the people Gu cares about the most. The other Gu will favor you, but it depends on Gu when he goes or not. Mood.
You don't have to worry about them. You are the princess. Don't think about whether they will be resentful. If they cause trouble, you should clean it up.
Don't always deal with it. Think about what the orphan will think, what the father, the queen, and the queen will think. "
It is impossible for him to be equal to a bowl of water, and he cannot be devoted to all the concubines in the harem.
He understands Zhang Guifen's temperament, but he doesn't understand the rest of them, and he doesn't bother to understand them.
Although this seems a bit ruthless, it is also the best way.
"Yes, I understand." Zhang Guifen nodded.
Zhao Xing lowered his head for a kiss, let go of Zhang Guifen, held her hand and said, "Let's go and take a walk with me."
…………
After some hesitation, the officials decided to adopt Han Zhang's method and send envoys to Xixia.
The situation in Xixia is unclear now. Although there are many troops deployed in the northwest, if Xixia suddenly sends troops to attack, it will also cause considerable losses to the Song Dynasty.
It is not realistic to increase troops to the northwest. The consumption of money and food alone is a big problem.
Zhao Xing counted the acres of land in Kaifeng Prefecture last year, and the results were remarkable.
But those fields are rented to the people, which will not bring any benefits to the court for the time being.
For more than 200,000 acres of land, being able to collect an extra rent is actually a drop in the bucket for the imperial court.
But if we could count all the acres in the world, it would be very impressive.
These fields are hidden and do not have to pay taxes in the first place.
After checking, taxes plus rent equaled a lot of extra money.
In this way, it can alleviate the financial problems of the imperial court.
The official felt that his health was getting worse day by day. Although it was a bit shameful for him to send envoys to Xixia, if the current situation could be maintained, he would be able to free up his hands and count the acres of land in the world.
Based on his current situation, perhaps this is the only thing he can do to help Zhao Xing before he dies.
As for the rest, we can only wait until Zhao Xing succeeds to the throne in the future and do it himself.
He can't cause too much trouble, otherwise if he can't put it down during his lifetime, wouldn't he leave a mess for his son?
Zhao Xing didn’t know what his father was thinking. He was busy doting on Xin Na’s concubines these days.
The four concubines brought in together are behind a family that is both civilized and talented.
Not counting Zhang Guifen, the crown prince, plus Yu Yanran and Ru Lan, these people were the concubines assigned to him by the official family and Empress Cao.
Four civil servant families and two lord families.
The remaining four people are named Li, Li, Jiang and Chen.
The first two came from civil servant families, and the grandfather of the woman surnamed Li is now the Minister of Household Affairs.
The father of the woman surnamed Li did not have a high official position, he was just a doctor in the Ministry of Personnel.
But his grandfather was not a simple man. He was the father-in-law of two dynasties, and he once taught officials.
The official died of illness before he took office.
One of these two families represents the new rich and the other represents the old ministers.
The Jiang and Chen families are both lords. The Jiang family is the Marquis Palace, and the Chen family is the Earl Palace. But they are all the kind of lords whose families have long ceased to serve in the military.
Zhao Xing doesn’t treat them the same way he treats Yu Yanran and the others.
He did not go to their yard to spend the night, but directly invited them to sleep in the Chaoyang Palace.
