Chapter 144: The Emperor’s Heart, the Deep Love between Father and Son (Part 2)

Since the Empress Dowager Zhou and Empress Dowager Wang were both there, although Emperor Hongzhi had no concubines, there were two serious elders. The Renshou Palace, which was originally only for the Empress Dowager, could not accommodate two palaces. So when the throne was ascended, Empress Dowager Zhou moved to the original Qingning Palace of the Prince's East Palace. When Zhu Houzhao was born and enthroned, there was no place to live. Emperor Hongzhi chose it. After all, because the name of Chengqian Palace was more festive, he moved the prince here, which was easy to visit from the Ganqing Palace on weekdays.

At this moment, Chengqian Palace was crowded with people. Whether it was the silver-haired Empress Dowager Zhou or the well-maintained Empress Dowager Wang, they were all worried, not to mention the tears on Queen Zhang who had just come from the East Nuan Pavilion. As the king of a country, Emperor Hongzhi sat in the main seat, changed his usual gentle habits and became furious at the imperial physicians, which led to the Xinglin national players from the hospital who were sentenced to the hospital without a crown and kowtow, with an extremely embarrassed look.

Therefore, when the lower side reported that Xiao Jing had brought Xu Xun, he said impatiently without thinking: "Come in when you come, and tell him that as long as the prince drinks medicine, he can give you any reward!"

No one raised any objection to such a word that should not be said by the emperor. After hearing the news, the eunuchs who came here only looked at their noses and noses and were determined by their will. So, when the news came outside, Xu Xun, who was following Xiao Jing up the steps, almost fell down. He suddenly complained in his heart, regretting that he had a bad idea for Zhu Hou.

When I kowtowed to the series of nobles outside the door, Zhang Yong, the eunuch he had met yesterday, led him to the East Warm Pavilion. Walking on the road, the middle-aged eunuch was not as anxious as others, and he said quietly and slowly: "Mr. Xu must have known that the little marquis of yesterday was His Highness the Crown Prince. I won't say much about what to do when we meet later. Although you have fallen in love with His Highness the Crown Prince, there is one thing I will remind you, that is, His Highness the Crown Prince is not stubborn and stubborn. You have to think of a solution."

Xu Xun was a human being in his two lives, and the most headache was that he didn't eat the hard and hard things, so he had a bitter face when he entered the Donghun Pavilion. Before he could even walk to the big bed with a green curtain, he heard Zhu Houzhao's chuckling sound. He was shocked and immediately accelerated his pace. When he walked to the bed and saw the person clearly, he took a breath of cold air.

The little prince's face is really not good-looking. It doesn't look like a fake disease, but a real disease!

Zhu Houzhao was making a fuss on the bed, and suddenly turned her head and found that it was Xu Xun. His eyes were lit up immediately. He quickly pushed the two palace maids around him away, and shouted loudly: "Xu Xun, come here, come here quickly! You two, go quickly and make room!"

The sound of the air was so full of energy didn't seem to be sick. Xu Xun was confused all of a sudden. Seeing Liu Jin winking at him, he hurried forward and was about to kneel down to salute, but Liu Jin pressed it on the pedal and sat down. Then, the one left him and rushed away the others, while Zhu Houzhao took the opportunity to hold Xu Xun's shoulder.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince..."

"Okay, Liu Jin told me, you dare to fool me! You said, when did you recognize me yesterday?"

Unexpectedly, Zhu Houzhao met and pursued this. Xu Xun was almost choked and could not speak. He immediately identified the key points. The part in the carriage must be denied. He smiled bitterly and said, "Your Highness, I forgive my crime. Yesterday, a Wei minister met Li Qianhu for the second time in the Confucian Temple, and then he woke up. The Beizhen Fushi Office tried the case, except for the father-in-law assigned by the emperor, no one else could interfere. But with one word from your Highness, Li Qianhu agreed to go to the carriage for trial, so the Wei minister just now dared to guess..."

"Forget it, I guessed it all. What courage is it, it's really boring!" Zhu Houzhao waved his hand in a daze, and said with a bitter face, "I finally found an interesting identity, but it turned out that I was discovered by you. What else is there to be fun... By the way, I called you because of your good idea! Now I was shocked, and people said to be acupuncture and medicine. What do you think you should do?"

At the end, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but show a bit of viciousness: "I hate needles and medicine since I was a child. I remember that I am quite capable. I have almost never had a few times of illness. Now I am getting sick. All these methods have come up! You have to take responsibility for your ideas!"

Xu Xun, who was amused and crying, glanced back and saw that Liu Jin was missing. He seemed to be looking at the wind. He turned his head and lowered his voice and asked, "Your Highness, there are so many top doctors in the Imperial Hospital who are good at taking pulses. How can you fool them by pretending to be sick?"

"Didn't you see my face?" Zhu Houzhao smiled and said proudly, "This is the oil paint that Liu Jin brought for me. It said it did not fade, and it could not be asked about the smell. No matter how you look at it, it would be difficult to tell it. Besides, I would say that the headache was a headache, and it took a rest for a while. It was not a real difficult and complicated disease. How could those quack doctors see it? Who dares to say that the prince, who is most afraid of taking medicine and acupuncture, pretends to be sick? Fortunately, Liu Jin told me that there is a prescription that has been passed down for many years because it is not good enough to take it, but I don't want to drink the bitter medicine of those quack doctors!"

It’s not that someone is a quack doctor, but because he is afraid that someone will not be able to cure your prince. This is the problem, right?

Xu Xun was so depressed that he thought to himself that if he knew that such an idea could cause such a big trouble, he would never have such an idea. However, at this moment, under Zhu Houzhao's eyes, I was relying on your eyes, he had to think about it and come in. After a while, he finally had an idea.

"Your Highness, how many people know about you pretending to be sick?"

"How many people?" Although Zhu Houzhao was puzzled, he still supported the bed board with one hand and calculated like a charlatan with the other hand. "The material was made by Liu Jin, but he was summoned by his father before, so I could only call Gu Dayong again. Oh, that guy Zhang Yong has always been sloppy, most of whom have guessed it, otherwise he wouldn't have slipped so quickly after leading you in."

Xu Xun was afraid that there were too many people who knew, but after Zhu Houzhao calculated this way, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. After repeated placing in his heart, he said softly: "Then Prince, what's going on to verify?"

"How..." Zhu Houzhao's face suddenly froze. After a while, he said in a stuttering voice, "My mother was the first to rush in. I was pretending to be dizzy at that time, but she hugged me hard and cried for a while. The force was so strong... Cough cough, I couldn't stand it, so I had to open my eyes and woke up..."

After hearing Zhu Houzhao say this, Xu Xun's heart finally put down another stone in his heart. However, before he could speak with relief, Zhu Houzhao stared at him and said stubbornly: "But this is not enough! I have been listening to those circulating news for a long time. Maybe the queen pretended to be just because I am the only son of my father..."

The more Zhu Houzhao spoke, the less the voice became. In the end, he looked a little guilty and disbelief, but his stubborn expression was still the same. Xu Xun, who had a headache, had to give up the idea of ​​Zhu Houzhao's immediate recovery in a few days. After pondering for a while, he suddenly asked, "What do you like to eat most on weekdays?"

"Uh?" Xu Xun's jumping thinking made Zhu Houzhao very uncomfortable. At this moment, he was stunned for a while, and then said with some uncertainty, "The warm-fired meals in the imperial kitchen are very unpalatable. There is nothing I like to eat. I remember that my father once took me out of the palace for a pigeon soup, which was full of remembrance. Unfortunately, there is no small kitchen in Chengqian Palace, otherwise I would have eaten it every day."

"That's good, your highness, listen to me..."

When Zhu Houzhao saw Xu Xun approaching, he said a series of words in a moment. He was surprised, then confused, but finally he smiled. When Xu Xun finished speaking, he even forgot that he was still a patient and patted Xu Xun's shoulder twice, so he was so happy.

"Okay, I'm really right. You're such a lot of Zhiduoxing. Come on, Liu Jin, Gu Dayong, Zhang Yong!"

Although Zhu Houzhao didn't drink the medicine, he called a few people in. Although he was anxious to the outsiders, it at least showed that the prince's situation was pretty good at the moment, so naturally no one stopped him. But when the three of them hurried in and came out again, there was an order in front of them to ask questions, but Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help it. Before the few questions were finished, an order came from the warm pavilion, saying that the prince's highness passed the medicine. These short words made everyone outside happy.

He ordered the medicine to be sent in. The nobles waited outside for a while. Wang of Zhou was still able to stand up, but Empress Zhang couldn't help it after all. He stood up first, bowed to her husband and the Empress Dowager with a very bad expression, and then forced a smile and said, "The Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager, Emperor, I am really worried, go in and take a look first."

Seeing that Empress Zhang took the people there without saying a word, Empress Dowager Zhou couldn't help but frown. If she was already a granddaughter-in-law, she couldn't say she liked or not, but she always complained about the dignified king of a country who had only the official palace but the unbiased concubine, especially when Emperor Hongzhi was the only descendant Zhu Houzhao. However, she had used many means for this over the years, and now she was too lazy to say more. She immediately looked at the emperor and sighed: "I just hope it was a false alarm."

Although Emperor Hongzhi died prematurely and could not even find his family, he had always been filial to the two empress dowagers. At this moment, he was unintentional to answer, and forced himself to smile and sat for a while. After all, he couldn't help but feel worried. He stood up and accused him of guilt and hurried to Dongnuan Pavilion. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Zhu Houzhao frowned with Xu Xun holding the medicine bowl and feeding the medicine, while Queen Zhang stood aside and wiped her tears. He remembered the chaos of his son when he was sick and took medicine, and his brows couldn't help but stretched.
