Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 1870

Wei Yuzhi and Xing Mingyue cried and kowtowed heavily, thinking of the teacher who taught them how to draw the bow, and of the practice in front of the sand table on those brightly lit nights.

They knelt one after another in front of the gate of Baoguo Temple, and there were dull sounds when their foreheads touched the ground.

When the abbot pushed open the mountain gate, he saw that the ninety-nine steps were full of people kneeling.

There are not only students from Yunqi Academy, but also ordinary people and many officials headed by the Northern Propaganda Department.

The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Rites are already preparing for the funeral of the prince consort...Tang Chujun and Yao Sheng have no words to express their grievances.

However, Xiao Yunde believed that if someone was to escape death, he should act in the right way, which would gain people's trust.

He acquiesced to the Ministry of Rites, and the entire capital was shrouded in a sad atmosphere.

Those officials in the court who were eager to select concubines to fill the harem for the new emperor in the early spring had no choice but to shut up at this moment.

Emperor Zhaowu was able to catch his breath.

He had something to discuss with the retired emperor. When he entered the Qingshou Palace, he found out that the retired emperor had gone to the Ministry of Rites in person.

He sat in the Qingshou Palace and waited.

This is the first time he wants to see his father, and he can wait for him to come back.

When he was a child, he wanted to see his father, but he could only keep it in his heart.

Because the emperor is not his father alone, and he is not his father's only son.

Emperor Zhaowu waited until dark and had a simple dinner in the Qingshou Palace.

A person's life is a bit lonely. It's time to welcome someone to be with you, at least there is someone to talk to.

But now is not the time.

He walked to the window, and the candlelight made his figure look long and lonely.

Xiao Yunde came back. The palace maids knelt on the ground to welcome him.

"Father." Emperor Zhaowu heard the voice, his eyes were unfathomable under the crown, and he turned around and saluted, saying in a calm voice, "My son has something important to discuss with you."

Xiao Yunde raised his eyes and saw that the twelve-chapter pattern on the emperor's robe was glowing faintly in the light of the palace lanterns. As the emperor moved, the golden lines flickered in the candlelight, making the emperor look even more noble.

But the waist belt seemed to be two fingers looser than last month, his face looked thinner and his eyes were bloodshot.

My son has really lost weight!

His son felt extremely guilty for having such a heavy burden on his young shoulders.

Xiao Yunde gave a kind smile, "Your Majesty, there is no need to be polite. Sit down and talk."

Eunuch Qi bowed his head and saluted Emperor Zhaowu, then started to prepare tea for the two masters.

Xiao Yunde said, "Try the newly tributed Chongshan Silver Needle. I specially used mountain spring water..." He suddenly stopped talking halfway because he remembered that the imperial physician had said that the emperor had been ill recently and should avoid drinking strong tea.

He rubbed his fingertips on the handle of the pot for a moment, then finally looked up at Eunuch Qi and said, "Let's give the emperor a bowl of red date and longan soup to replenish his qi and blood." His voice was very soft, as if recalling the past, "When you were a child... you were the most greedy for this sweet taste."

It was at this moment that Xiao Zhi remembered that after his mother left, his father often came to see him.

He caught a cold and had a high fever but refused to take medicine and instead clamored to drink the red dates and longan soup cooked by his mother.

Empress Dowager Jiqing seemed to pity him. She ordered the palace servants to bring him red dates and longan soup, and fed him lovingly with her own hands, "Good boy, drink this and then the medicine will not be bitter."

It was Xiao Yunde who rushed over after hearing the news. He slapped the longan soup in the empress dowager's hand and shouted, "You are so willful at such a young age! If you continue to act like this, I will throw you to the cold palace!"

Later, Xiao Zhi realized that the Empress Dowager did not love him but wanted to harm him.

Longan soup increases internal heat and should not be consumed during high fever. Drinking it will increase internal heat, which may damage the brain at best and even cause death at worst.

But the emperor didn't want to harm him, he wanted to save him... Later, the emperor allowed Eunuch An to come and serve him, otherwise he would not live to grow up.

The past rushed into his mind, and Emperor Zhaowu felt a surge of emotion. "Father, something big has happened in Lingzhou. I have decided to handle it myself..."
