Yongshou Palace.

The sleeping hall was filled with a strong medicinal fragrance, and the Empress Dowager sat pale on the head of the bed, with a thin quilt covering her waist and abdomen.

Emperor Jingxuan stood in front of the bed with a solemn expression.

Hu Yuanjuan took the empress dowager's pulse carefully and stood up.

Emperor Jingxuan asked, "What's the matter?"

Hu Yuanpan respectfully replied: "Judging from the pulse condition, the Empress Dowager is suffering from a deficiency of Qi and blood, plus she is too worried, and she was shocked by the wind a while ago, so she can't afford to be ill."

"You've said these words for a few days, and I'm tired of hearing them. I just want to know when will the Empress Dowager's illness improve?"

"The minister will change a new prescription for the queen mother. The illness comes like a mountain, and the illness disappears like a thread, and the effect of the medicine is too strong, which means that the side effects are also serious, and it will hurt the body, Your Majesty."

Emperor Jingxuan took a deep breath, squeezed the painful brows, and forced himself to calm down.

"You back off," he said.

"Yes." Hu Yuansan retreated a few steps before turning around, raised his sleeves and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and immediately went to the Imperial Hospital to write a prescription.

Emperor Jingxuan came to sit down on the stool in front of the bed, and told the palace servants: "You step back."

Eunuch Fu glanced at Aunt Xi who was beside the Queen Mother.

Mother Xi said to the Queen Mother: "Your maidservant is waiting outside."

The Queen Mother nodded slightly.

Aunt Xi and Eunuch Fu withdrew with a group of palace people.

Emperor Jingxuan looked at the sick queen mother with a complicated expression: "Hu Yuan judged that the mother is too worried. The son has been busy with official duties recently and neglected the mother. It is the son's fault."

The queen mother didn't speak, but turned her face to the side lightly.

Emperor Jingxuan sighed: "Mother, are you going to never forgive your son? For ten years, he is your son, so am I not? Is it because I was the one who was killed at the beginning, so that the mother will feel better? "

The queen mother was still stubbornly looking at the wall.

"The queen mother takes care of her health, and the son will visit the queen mother again at another time."

After saying that, Emperor Jingxuan got up and left Yongshou Palace.

The night is like ink.

Emperor Jingxuan walked on the quiet winding path, and Eunuch Fu lit a lantern for him in front of him.

Emperor Jingxuan said mockingly, "The death day of King Nanyang is approaching again, and it happens every year."

Eunuch Fu dare not answer.

King Nanyang is the eldest son of the first emperor, and Emperor Jingxuan is the fourth son of the first emperor. Both of them were descended from the concubine Hui at that time, who is now the queen mother.

The two brothers teamed up to defeat the queen and the first prince, and when they turned around, they fought against each other and fought each other.

Emperor Jingxuan sneered and said, "Occasionally, I would think, if I lost, would the queen mother also create a estrangement with the King of Nanyang for me? I know what she thinks in her heart. She thinks that the King of Nanyang is the eldest son, so she should She is more qualified to inherit the throne than me. Do you know what she once said to me?"

Mr. Fu said, "I don't know."

Emperor Jingxuan sarcastically said: "She told me that if the king of Nanyang is the successor, he will definitely not kill me! Do you believe it?"

Eunuch Fu paused and said, "I don't believe it."

It doesn't matter whether he believes it or not, what Emperor Jingxuan wants to hear is whether he believes it or not.

Emperor Jingxuan looked into the boundless night, with a dark look in his eyes: "I don't believe it either! If the King of Nanyang wins, I will end up just like him! It's all about success and defeat, why does the queen mother blame me?!"

Eunuch Fu dare not answer.

Emperor Jingxuan: "Forget it, let's go back to the palace."

Eunuch Fu asked, "Which empress' palace is your majesty going tonight?"

In the past, Emperor Jingxuan liked to go to Concubine Xian's Palace when he was most irritable.

Concubine Xian is a beautiful flower of interpretation, who knows how to resolve Emperor Jingxuan's melancholy.

But tonight, Emperor Jingxuan pondered for a while and said, "Go to Kunning Palace to see the queen."

Eunuch Fu: Are you sure you want to see the queen? Aren't you going to rub Princess Jingning's snacks?

In the blink of an eye, it entered late April, and the day of Su Cheng's competition with Qin Jiang was gradually approaching.

Qin Canglan and Lao Hou seized every opportunity to train Su Cheng, shortening the cultivation gap of 20 years in one month, it sounds like a fantasy.

But Su Cheng's talent really made them look sideways.

From the very beginning, he couldn't fight even one move, but now, he was able to catch ten moves in Qin Canglan's hands.

Although, there is also a bit of cunning in it, but as the saying goes, soldiers never tire of deceit, if you catch it, you catch it.

Because his performance was getting better and better, Su Cheng's "salary" also increased from ten taels a day to twenty taels a day, and the highest one earned fifty taels a day.

Su Cheng was very satisfied.

He felt that after another year or so, he might be able to buy a house for his daughter in the capital.

"Do you think Cheng'er recovered too quickly?"

Old Hou Ye stared at Su Chengwen who was practicing archery on the pasture.

Qin Canglan who was on the side asked back, "Hurry up?"

Old Hou Ye thought for a while and said, "It's faster than when you and I were young."

Qin Canglan and You Rong said: "That's right! Father Tiger has no sons! I don't even know whose son it is!"

Old Hou Ye glanced at him with a complicated expression: "When I think of such a good seedling, who has been delayed in the countryside for thirty years, I really want to kill you."

Mentioning this, Qin Canglan lost all confidence in an instant.

He coughed resentfully: "Well, the big deal is that you will teach him more for me in the future. He is still young, and it is time for him to be a great leader."

Old Hou Ye asked strangely: "Why does your son want me to teach?"

Qin Canglan's eyes flashed, and he said sternly, "You...don't you teach very hard? Besides, the strike is not as hard as mine. I'm afraid I'll beat him up."

Old Hou Ye snorted coldly: "I almost thought you were telling your last words."

Su Cheng's side went smoothly, but just the night before the competition, something happened to Su Ergou.

He is gone!

After Su Qi and Su Yu finished today's class, they went to Su Ergou's class to go home with him.

Their homework is heavier than Su Ergou's, and they finish class half an hour later.

Su Ergou usually waits for them while doing homework in the classroom.

But when the two of them went to the classroom today, they were unexpectedly empty-handed.

"Did you go to the toilet?" Su Yu asked.

"Then just wait." Su Qi said.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, Su Ergou didn't come over. Su Qi went to the toilet to find someone, and Su Yu continued to wait at the door of the classroom, in case Su Ergou came back and missed them.

But Su Qi searched all the toilets in Guozijian, but he didn't see Su Ergou.

"Second Brother." Su Yu asked, "Where is Second Dog?"

"I didn't find it." Su Qi shook his head.

Su Yu said strangely: "It shouldn't be, Ergou is very obedient, he won't wait for us."

They went to school together for nearly a month, and Su Ergou never ran around, and if he didn't see him occasionally, he must have gone to the toilet, and Su Ergou would come back after a while.

The two of them felt something was wrong at the same time.

"Second brother..."

"Don't panic." Su Qi forced himself to calm down.

It's fine to bluff on weekdays, but at critical moments, they can't mess around.

Su Qi frowned and said: "Well, you go to Mr. Cen, I remember that this afternoon he taught Ergou's class. I will go to the dormitory and ask Ergou's classmates. We will meet at the main entrance of the Imperial College .”

Su Yu: "Good!"
