Chu Rui and Su Ziyue walked into the hall.
It has a very strong medicinal smell, and it also contains ambergris. The various smells are mixed together, which is a bit unpleasant.
A palace maid was feeding medicine nearby. Perhaps the medicine was too bitter. The emperor's expression changed and he knocked over the medicine bowl. The palace maid knelt on the ground tremblingly.
Chu Rui gave Su Ziyue a look.
Su Ziyue's hands shook. Although she and the emperor were related by blood, the relationship was too far apart. Moreover, this was her first official meeting with the emperor.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Su Ziyue walked over bravely, "Let Ziyue wait for the Emperor to drink medicine."
The emperor looked at her in a daze.
He did think of Concubine Su, who died young. His biological mother, Concubine Su, died when he was only a few years old.
I can't remember Concubine Su's exact appearance, maybe she looks similar to the girl in front of me.
"To sum it up, you should call me cousin." The emperor said slowly, "You can also do the same as Rui'er and call me emperor uncle."
"Yes, Uncle Emperor." Su Ziyue took the new bowl of medicine brought by her grandma, "Uncle Emperor, Ziyue feeds you some medicine."
The emperor did not resist anymore and slowly drank the bowl of medicine.
Eunuch Gao cried with joy: "Ever since the emperor fell ill, drinking medicine has always been a big problem. Prince Zhuang and Princess Zhuang have really been a big help!"
Su Ziyue glanced at Chu Rui and immediately said: "When Ziyue entered the capital, his grandfather told Ziyue to do his best to repay the emperor's kindness to the Su family. Without the help of the emperor's uncle, how could the Su family become a Huang Shang... Ziyue is a woman with little ability. She is willing to stay with the emperor's uncle to wait for his illness. I sincerely ask the emperor's uncle to agree!"
"Since you have such filial piety, then stay here." The emperor coughed and said, "Eunuch Gao, clean up the wing of Yangxin Hall and let Ziyue live there."
Eunuch Gao lowered his head and went to do it immediately.
As soon as he walked to the door, he saw Yun Chu walking to the door of Yangxin Hall with two children. He hurriedly went to salute: "I have met Princess Pingxi, I have met the young prince and the young princess."
There was worry on Yun Chu's face: "I heard that my father's illness has become more serious, and the two children are also worried, so I came here to pay my respects."
In her previous life, when she died, there was no problem with the emperor's body. Why did he suddenly become so ill?
Without waiting for Eunuch Gao to report, Chu Hongyu rushed into the hall: "Grandfather, are you feeling better? Chang Sheng and I are worried."
The emperor drank the medicine and felt better. He sat up from the bed.
Seeing the two children coming in, the emperor had a slight smile on his face: "The Imperial Academy has already started classes at this time, so don't waste your time."
Chu Changsheng's voice was soft and waxy: "Class is not as important as visiting Grandfather Emperor. Grandfather Emperor, you must take good medicine and get well soon."
While the two children were talking to the emperor, Yunchu noticed that there were two other people in the hall. They were Prince Zhuang and Princess Zhuang, who had just gotten married yesterday.
"Your Majesty!" A nun came in to report, "Miss Li has taken some medicine and is conscious. Look for your Majesty due west!"
Although the real Li Jingshu is older, because she is not married, everyone in the palace calls her Miss Li.
Li Jingshu was suffering from madness. Due to the obstruction of everyone in the palace, Li Jingshu did not live in the Yangxin Palace, but in another Yuehua Palace nearby.
The emperor immediately helped his grandma to stand up, and quickly walked out of the palace regardless of the fact that he was still coughing.
The palace attendants followed him out, and the hall suddenly became empty.
Yun Chu looked at the two children and said, "Go to the Imperial Academy quickly, don't be late."
Chu Hongyu and Chu Changsheng said obediently: "Mom, let's go first. Uncle Rui, aunt, goodbye."
"Princess Pingxi."
Su Ziyue came over to say hello with a smile.
Although they are both princesses, Prince Pingxi is the emperor's biological son. Therefore, Prince Pingxi has a higher status than Prince Zhuang.
Yun Chu also had a smile on his face: "Prince and Princess Zhuang, I'm getting ready to leave the palace, why don't we come together."
Su Ziyue shook her head: "I want to stay and wait for you and live in the palace temporarily."
Yun Chu paused his fingers, but the expression on his face remained unchanged: "My father is not feeling well, and I, the daughter-in-law, should have been the one to take care of him, but I have to bother Prince Zhuang and Princess Zhuang..."
"With so many people serving the emperor, how can Ziyue really do anything?" Chu Rui's voice was clear and elegant. "The emperor missed the Su family. Ziyue stayed in the palace just to talk to the emperor about the Su family. , Princess Pingxi need not be uneasy."
Yun Chu nodded: "Yes, Princess Zhuang and Princess Zhuang are members of the Su family, so it would be best if Princess Zhuang and Princess accompany her, so I'll take my leave first."
After leaving the Yangxin Hall, Yun Chu went to pay his respects to Concubine Yun and Concubine Yin, and then returned to the palace.
Chu Yi had just returned from Dali Temple and was investigating the case and reading the files.
After he finished his work, Yun Chu walked into his study and said, "I'm afraid Su Ziyue will become Prince Zhuang's chess piece."
A simple little girl is like a piece of white paper. Whatever Chu Rui draws on the paper will be the color of the paper.
Chu Yi said: "I have been checking up on my father's illness these days. My father has always been in good health. Ever since the assassination incident at the birthday banquet, he suddenly became seriously ill. The entire hospital checked my father's pulse, and they all said it was due to wind cold." If the disease is just a simple cold, how come it has not been cured for several months, but is getting worse?"
Yun Chu looked solemn: "You mean, someone poisoned my father?"
"Before Su Ziyue came to Beijing, my father was ill." Chu Yi said slowly, "I was suspicious that the person who poisoned my father was Li Jinghua, but she is already dead, and I am checking her The people around her, but I was a step too late, and the people serving her were all dead."
A chill ran down Yun Chu's spine: "Someone used Li Jinghua to poison my father. Li Jinghua was killed with a stick and died without any evidence... I immediately wrote to Wu Yun and asked him to go to Beijing to have his father diagnosed to see if he was poisoned. "
Chu Yi nodded: "If my father is poisoned and dies at this time, I will be the biggest beneficiary now. Who else will benefit except me?"
"For some reason, I suspect it's Chu Rui..." Yun Chu frowned, "But, there are still several princes. Even if the father passes away, it won't be Chu Rui's turn to sit in that position. Could it be that I thought wrongly? No matter what, Su Ziyue cannot ignore it. She is a huge hidden danger if she stays with her father to wait for her illness. "
Chu Yi stretched out his hand and smoothed Yun Chu's eyebrows: "Brother Jue is naughty and it's enough to give you a headache. Don't worry about these things."
The person behind the scenes is too well hidden. If that's the case, then he will try to pull out the firewood and force the other party to make another move.
In the next few days, the emperor's health gradually improved.
Yun Chu once wondered if he had misunderstood Su Ziyue.
After the emperor's body had almost recovered, he could go to court.
Because there was no prince, when the emperor was seriously ill, there was no one to supervise the country instead of going to court, and the courtiers also rested for many days.
The first thing he did when he went to court was to petition the emperor to re-establish the crown prince.
