Jiang Zhiyu paused, then realized that he had subconsciously used modern timekeeping.
She calmly corrected herself, "It was a slip of the tongue. Four hours. You should sleep at least four hours a day."
People always compromise. If Jiang Zhiyu had said four hours at the beginning, compared with his usual schedule, the emperor might have felt embarrassed. But when compared with eight hours, the emperor immediately agreed.
Jiang Zhiyu shook his head inwardly.
[You're just not used to being treated like a beast of burden for a while, but after a few days of sleeping like this, you'll be able to sleep all day, not just eight hours.]
As the saying goes, "Learning without thinking is useless, and neither thinking nor learning is boring."
[As long as you don't work, the world will be beautiful. Don't worry about the headache when the time comes. If you are not as strong as a bull, come to me.]
emperor:"……"
Is it really as good as she said?
The emperor's heart was shamefully moved.
Anyway, there is still a long time before we set out to fight Nan Gu, so even if I pretend to be sick for a while, it won’t affect anything.
By the way, it can also stimulate them and make them feel a sense of crisis, so that they won't be so lazy and not do their work.
We can also see who still has ulterior motives.
You can also go on incognito visits and take a close look at the lives of the people.
It’s like killing three birds with one stone!
The emperor thought about this and suddenly looked up at Jiang Zhiyu: "I think I may be ill for a while."
Jiang Zhiyu: “???”
"To what extent?"
The emperor thought for a moment and said, "Just stay in bed."
Jiang Zhiyu: “…”
[Wow, this is the first time I've seen someone issue a critical illness notice to themselves.]
"That's why I want you to cooperate with me. You have the reputation of being a miracle doctor, and staying by my side will only make this matter more real."
"I don't."
Jiang Zhiyu refused without hesitation.
[Since I told you you were faking illness, you definitely wouldn't just lie in bed.]
"I sacrificed my freedom to stay in the palace, while you went out to travel and enjoy the scenery. Only a fool would do that."
emperor:"……"
He tried to coerce and bribe her, but no matter how much he said good things or bad things, Jiang Zhiyu just wouldn't agree.
Finally, the emperor also became angry: "This is an imperial decree!"
"If you have the guts, execute me."
Jiang Zhiyu was not afraid at all.
After spending such a long time together, Jiang Zhiyu could also feel the emperor's indulgence towards her. Although she didn't know why, she knew that the emperor would not execute her easily.
She looked at the emperor's face, which was red with anger, and added with a smile: "Look at you. I just told you to stop getting angry, and now you're angry again. If you keep going like this, when will you recover?"
emperor:"……"
Who made him angry?!
Seeing that the emperor was about to faint from her anger, Jiang Zhiyu finally had a kind heart and said, "Forget it, forget it. How about this? I'll tell him that your illness is highly contagious. If I stay with you for more than half an hour, it will be contagious. Then no one will dare to come to see you. I only have to stay in the palace for half an hour. How about that?"
The emperor thought about it and felt that this was a solution, so he nodded.
Although he decided to go on a secret visit, the emperor couldn't be without anyone around him, so he summoned Fuping and Qianhu and gave them instructions.
Jiang Zhiyu was a little puzzled: "Don't you trust Chao En more?"
The emperor was even more puzzled than he was: "When did I trust Chao En more?"
Jiang Zhiyu had mentioned in his heart before that Chaoen was not trustworthy. How stubborn was he to ignore someone as loyal as Fuping and use Chaoen instead?
"But you... Fuping... he..."
After Jiang Zhiyu explained for a while, the emperor finally understood the whole story.
"I know Fu Ping is sincere, but he has been pampered too much these days and has been presumptuously speculating on the emperor's will. If I don't suppress him, he will really think that I can't live without him."
Jiang Zhiyu: “…”
"Poor Eunuch Fuping complained to me with tears and snot."
emperor:"……"
"I haven't dismissed him from his post, nor have I done anything to him. What is he afraid of?"
"Good question. Why don't you ask Eunuch Fuping?"
emperor:"……"
Thinking of Fu Ping's wide eyes and tearful face when he had given him the order, the emperor was silent for a moment and said, "Forget it, I'll let him go this time."
…
Concubine Duan was imprisoned in the most remote palace in the east, and the gate was locked tightly.
Xiao Siyuan and Xiao Qingwu felt their hearts wrench in their throats as they were pushed in by the eunuchs.
Hearing the noise, a person came running towards them. Her clothes were tattered, and her hair, which used to be black and smooth, was now like dead grass. Her face was also black. When she saw Xiao Siyuan and Xiao Qingwu, tears immediately rolled down her face, leaving clear marks.
"Are you here to save Mother?" Concubine Duan excitedly grabbed Xiao Siyuan's hand. "His Majesty, has changed his mind, right?"
Xiao Siyuan turned his head away.
Behind him, Concubine Duan clearly saw the eunuchs closing the door.
"No, no, I have something to say to His Majesty! Let me see His Majesty!"
"Don't close the door! Let me out! Let me..."
"Mother!" Xiao Siyuan grabbed Concubine Duan who was shouting hysterically: "Calm down, Mother, calm down."
Concubine Duan looked at the closed door in despair. Then, as if she had thought of something, she looked at Xiao Siyuan for help, as if grasping a life-saving straw: "Yes, with you here, they will come to open the door, right?"
Knowing that Concubine Duan couldn't stand any stimulation right now, Xiao Siyuan coaxed her: "Yes, I will open the door."
After Concubine Duan calmed down, Xiao Siyuan helped her walk inside, and Xiao Qingwu followed silently behind.
The hall was full of cobwebs. There was nothing inside except a bed, but the so-called bed was just a bare wooden board without a quilt or mattress.
There was something dark beside the bed. Xiao Siyuan leaned over to look and looked for a long time before he could barely recognize that it should be food.
My mother has been locked up here for so many days, and she only eats this kind of food?!
Xiao Siyuan could hardly hide his anger and was about to kick her when he was stopped by Concubine Duan.
Looking at Concubine Duan who was trying hard to protect her only food, Xiao Siyuan couldn't help but tear up.
He looked around, his voice choked with sobs, "I'm going to find some water. Qingwu, you stay with Mother."
Xiao Qingwu said nothing.
"Qingwu?"
"I don't!" Xiao Qingwu suddenly burst into tears, pointing at Concubine Duan: "Father said that I'm not his daughter, and that you adopted me from somewhere! Tell me, is all this true?!"
"Xiao Qingwu!"
Xiao Siyuan shouted loudly, and the next second, he froze in place.
Concubine Duan said calmly, "It's true."
Xiao Qingwu and Xiao Siyuan looked at her in disbelief.
"I know what you want to ask. Back then, I lied about being pregnant to frame Concubine Hui, but I never imagined that I was actually pregnant. His Majesty had always wanted a princess, and fortunately, I was also pregnant with a princess. Therefore, I was doted on by everyone at that time."
"The emperor comes to my palace every day." Concubine Duan's eyes were full of nostalgia.
