Is the emperor cremated today?

Several coughs could be heard from time to time in the Dong Nuan Pavilion of Taiji Palace. Zhu Weng led Maotian in with medicine in his hand. He saw Xiao Qi wearing only pajamas and sitting cross-legged on the couch reading the memorial. Zhu Weng was like, "Oh!" He couldn't help but mutter: "My Majesty, why don't you put on any clothes when you get up? How can you survive if your condition worsens?"

As he spoke, he quickly went to get the cloak on the hanger and put it on Xiao Qi.

Xiao Qi seemed to be used to Zhu Weng's nagging, so he ignored it and still looked at Zou Ben without even raising his eyes.

Zhu Weng sighed secretly, motioned to Maotian to bring the medicine over, and said, "Your Majesty, it's time to drink the medicine."

"Leave it for now, I'll drink it later." Xiao Qi said calmly.

Zhu Weng hesitated to speak. In the past few days, His Majesty has been infected with the cold. He only drank the medicine once or twice out of ten times. He also dealt with government affairs day and night and met with ministers. He did not take a good rest and refused to drink the medicine obediently. How can this disease be cured?

He knew that Your Majesty was expecting the Imperial Concubine to come, but every time he sent someone to invite the Imperial Concubine, the Imperial Concubine would refuse to come because she was afraid of disturbing His Majesty's recovery. His Majesty's face became even more ugly when he saw that he was ill. He could freeze people to death, so he told him not to send anyone to Fengyi Palace again. This attitude was out of anger!
Zhu Weng sighed secretly, took Maotian out, and then ordered Maotian to go to the imperial kitchen to send a message and make some medicinal meals and send them over.

Maotian took the order and went.

Zhu Weng was just thinking about how to coax Xiao Qi to take some medicinal food, when he saw Fang Zhenzhen coming over with his maid.

Hey, it’s really not coming when it’s time to come!

Fang Zhenzhen walked to Zhu Weng and made a blessing ceremony. Zhu Weng quickly avoided it and said he didn't dare.

Fang Zhenzhen took the food box from the maid's hand and said with a smile: "I expected that Your Majesty would have no appetite due to his illness, so I made some appetizing snacks for Your Majesty. Please give it to Your Majesty, please."

Zhu Weng took the food box and said with a smile: "The Concubine Xian is interested, I will definitely forward it to Your Majesty."

Fang Zhenzhen smiled and thanked her again, glanced at the closed palace door, and left with the maid.

Zhu Weng looked at the food box in his hand and wondered. It was really strange that the concubine Xian had gone to great lengths to make snacks but did not ask to see His Majesty.

Zhu Weng shook his head, pushed the door open and went in, hoping that His Majesty could eat something.

In Fengyi Palace, Xu Miaoyin was embroidering and listening to Yuqin's feedback.

"Your Majesty, Guo Xiang has gained the trust of Duke Rong Guo. Yesterday, Duke Rong Guo sent a petition to let Guo Xiang serve as the envoy of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division. However, the account book you asked him to check has not yet been revealed. Over in Liyang, His Highness said The letter has arrived. Meng has been moved to a safe place. Another thing is that something seems to have happened over there in Liyang. Looking at the time when the letter was sent this time, it was seven days ago, which does not match the time when His Highness sent the letter every time. "

Xu Miaoyin paused in her hands, thought for a moment, and then asked: "Is the news from the shadow side the same?"

Yuqin thought for a moment and said, "There was no news from the Shadow Guards. This time, the news from His Highness was sent directly along with Li Yang Guard's memorial, and it was written from home, so that it could reach the hands of the servant. "

Yuqin took out the letter from her arms and handed it to Xu Miaoyin.

Xu Miaoyin unfolded the letter in her hand. There were only a few words in the letter, only the arrangements for the Meng family, and nothing else.

According to Xiao Duo's habit, he always communicated with her through the shadow. From time to time, he would ask about Ah Wan's situation. But this time, not only was the handwriting scrawled, but he didn't ask anything. He also avoided the shadow and wrote in a family calligraphy. form.

What happened over there in Li Yang?

Xu Miaoyin had a bad premonition in her heart, and even felt a little anxious. She stood up suddenly and walked outside the palace, but suddenly stopped.

He told Yuqin: "Go and find out where your Majesty is now?"

Yuqin took the order and went.

Xu Miaoyin stood at the entrance of the palace, looking at the huge Fengyi Palace, clenching her fingers, then turned around and walked slowly back to the embroidery, and slowly started to embroider.After a while, Yuqin came back to report that His Majesty had been staying in Taiji Palace for the past few days to handle government affairs and receive courtiers.

Xu Miaoyin had a plan in her mind, so she was not in such a hurry. She took the jade books and jade paintings to the small kitchen of Fengyi Palace, cooked some home-cooked dishes, and then took the two of them to Tai Chi Palace.

Snow started to fall on the way, and when Xu Miaoyin walked to Tai Chi Palace, a thin layer of snow had accumulated on her umbrella. Zhu Wengzheng was walking back and forth anxiously, and out of the corner of his eye he caught sight of Xu Miaoyin walking up the palace road. , he suddenly became energetic and his eyes lit up.

The savior has finally arrived!

"It's a snowy day for the noble concubine. Why don't you ride in a sedan chair to drive her away? What if she falls and freezes?"

Xu Miaoyin saw Zhu Weng smiling and came up to him. She glanced at the palace door not far away and asked, "Is Your Majesty here? Could you please pass it on to Zhu Weng?"

Zhu Weng glanced at the food box in the hands of the jade book and the jade painting, and his heart became even more happy. He said with a smile: "Your Majesty has ordered that if the imperial concubine comes, there is no need to pass the call. Please come in."

Zhu Weng pushed open the palace door, and Xu Miaoyin and Yushu followed them into the palace.

The earth dragon in the dormitory made the whole hall warm, but it had a calming fragrance that seemed to be absent.

"Your Majesty has been suffering from headaches and can't sleep well recently, so I burned some soothing incense. Hey..." Zhu Weng seemed to be nagging, but his tone was a bit sad, and the sigh that seemed to be absent at the end was a bit complaining. .

Xu Miaoyin felt a little moved when she thought of Maotian coming to Fengyi Palace to ask for a visit a few days ago.

It seemed that this time he was not angry with himself, but was really sick.

Zhu Weng was going to lead people to Dongnuang Pavilion, but he heard a few coughs and a weak voice coming from the other side of the dragon bed, "Zhu Weng, bring me a glass of water."

The weak tone made Zhu Weng's mouth twitch, but he quickly regained his composure and hurriedly went to pour hot water for Xiao Qi.

Your Majesty, you are just cold. Such a weak voice sounds fake to me.

Xu Miaoyin took the hot tea from Zhu Weng's hand, "I'll do it!"

Xu Miaoyin approached the bed, glanced at the neatly arranged shoes, and then said: "Your Majesty, drink some hot water!"

Xiao Qi opened his eyes, his eyes were slightly red, and he saw clearly that the person in front of him was Xu Miaoyin. He was still stunned. He sat up and said weakly: "Why are you here? Didn't I tell them not to disturb you? It's just Feng Han. That’s all, it’ll be fine in a few days.”

How could Xu Miaoyin not know that he was showing weakness to her, so she sat by the bed and fed him water with her own hand, while saying softly: "I made some of your favorite dishes, can you use some?"

Xiao Qi glanced at the food boxes held by the two maids behind her and nodded.

Zhu Weng then brought a small table and placed it on the bed to make it easier for Xiao Qi to eat. The jade books and jade paintings also laid out the food.

Xiao Qi took Xu Miaoyin's hand and said, "You can use it with me."

So the two of them huddled together to eat. Xu Miaoyin wasn't even hungry at all, so most of the food went into Xiao Qi's stomach. Zhu Weng looked on and almost burst into tears.

After the dinner was over, Zhu Weng and Yu Shu packed their things. It happened that the medicine was also delivered, so Zhu Weng led Yu Shu and Yu Hua out together.

Xu Miaoyin served Xiao Qi and took the medicine, and when she was about to get up to get him some candied fruits, Xiao Qi took her hand and pulled Xu Miaoyin into his arms with a strong force on his hand.

Xu Miaoyin lay in his arms and said angrily: "Don't you pretend anymore?"
