Chapter 306 It is my fortune to have her as my wife
"I..." Huo Zheng paused for a moment, "Let's take a look."
During his pause, Queen Wang suddenly understood something and couldn't help laughing. "You came back all the way to see me?"
Huo Zheng must have known what happened in Qianhua Palace today and was afraid that she would be blamed by her father, so he came here specially.
In the past, Huo Zheng was very well-behaved, and Queen Wang had dignity and grace ingrained in her character, so the mother and son were always too polite to each other, which inevitably led to a sense of alienation between them. After Chunzhi came, the relationship between them also quietly changed.
Huo Zheng nodded and wanted to ask his mother if she had been reprimanded by his father. However, his mother did not seem to be displeased.
He didn't say anything, but Queen Wang guessed what he wanted to say and said with a smile, "In your eyes, is mother so useless?"
Huo Zheng quickly said, "I have never thought of it that way."
"She's just Consort Zhao. Why shouldn't I grant her the title of Qianhua Palace?" Queen Wang's face lit up with pride. "I came to the Imperial Study simply to inform your father in advance. I'm not afraid of him. As the holder of the Phoenix Seal, I already have the power to command the six palaces."
Queen Wang just didn't want to use the Phoenix Seal to pressure others before. It's hard for a good girl to enter the palace. Life is hard for everyone, so why should women make things difficult for other women?
But her kindness to others was not a reason for Concubine Zhao to challenge her.
Queen Wang looked at Huo Zheng and said to him softly:
"Your father has doted on the Imperial Concubine over the years, and has allowed her to become lawless. Now, each one of them is more disobedient than the other. Your father was upset when he heard about them. He even suggested sealing off Qianhua Palace to make Imperial Concubine Zhao and her son reflect on their actions."
This means that Queen Wang is not blamed, but rather praised.
The Ninth Prince was disobedient, and Concubine Zhao was also restless. Even though the Emperor had doted on the mother and son before, he was now displeased with them.
"I'm glad my mother didn't get angry with my father," Huo Zheng said. "Chunzhi was worried about you, so she left someone waiting at the palace gate to tell me about this and let me come over to take a look."
"Chunzhi is a good child. It is a blessing that you can marry her."
Queen Wang now felt relieved when she heard Chunzhi.
When Huo Zheng heard his mother say this, he knew she had truly accepted Chunzhi. He said, "It is my great honor to have her as my wife."
Queen Wang walked with Huo Zheng for a while and soon reached the intersection where the front court and the harem separated. She stopped and said to Huo Zheng, "Alright, don't waste time here. Go back to the palace and see how your staff is doing. If you need any rare herbs or pills, feel free to come to the palace and get them."
Huo Zheng was indeed concerned about Gu Yuanjia. After hearing his mother's words, he didn't delay any longer and said immediately, "Then I will take my leave."
Queen Wang reached out and brushed away the water droplets on Huo Zheng's sleeves, her eyes filled with love for her son. "Go."
Huo Zheng nodded, turned and left.
Queen Wang stood there and watched him go away, and she sighed with satisfaction, "This son was not raised in vain."
The voice was not loud, and only the senior female official standing behind Queen Wang heard it. "Not only was it not raised in vain, even her own children might not be able to compare to her."
The woman in Qianhua Palace does have a biological son, but that biological son has never given her peace of mind.
Comparing with Huo Yan, Queen Wang now feels that Huo Zheng is good in every way, even the wife he married and the son he gave birth to are deeply in her heart.
It’s a pity that in a few days, my son, daughter-in-law and grandson will all go to Xizhou, thousands of miles away, and it will be difficult to see them again.
Queen Wang's eyes darkened again as she thought of this.
Ms. Gao had been with the Empress for many years and could probably guess what she was feeling down about. While comforting her, she asked the Empress to return to the palace to rest.
After leaving the palace, Huo Zheng immediately rushed back to the Chang'an Palace and went to the courtyard where Gu Yuanjia was.
When he arrived, two imperial doctors were coming out of the house and talking to Chunzhi.
"How is Yuanjia?" Huo Zheng strode forward and asked in a deep voice.
"He's basically stable," Doctor Fan said. "The fever has subsided a bit, but he was already seriously injured, and a slight mishap could easily lead to a relapse. This time, timely treatment saved his life, but I can't guarantee it next time."
Doctor Zhou also said, "Those who are responsible for taking care of Master Gu must pay more attention and try to keep him in a good mood. He must not overthink or overthink. His body cannot withstand such stress."
After hearing this, Yuzhu lowered her eyes with some self-blame and replied, "Yes."
She felt that it was because she had not taken good care of Gu Yuanjia that his injuries worsened and his life was in danger.
The two imperial doctors went together to discuss how to change the prescription.
Huo Zheng went into the house to see Gu Yuanjia.
Chunzhi and Yuzhu were talking outside the door. "No one wants Master Gu's injury to worsen. You've done a great job taking good care of him. There's really no need to blame yourself."
"If I had known earlier..." Yuzhu choked up a little, "I wouldn't have said those words to him."
She said, "He's been so badly injured, sleeping for so long every day. When he finally wakes up for a while, I just listen to what he has to say. Why would I say he's always weighing the pros and cons and calculating?"
Yuzhu looked extremely sad.
Chunzhi reached out and wiped away the tears that were welling up in her eyes. She said softly, "Gu Yuanjia isn't the type to get upset over a few words. Don't blame yourself too much. The imperial physician has said that Master Gu's condition has stabilized and he's fine now."
"Sister." Yuzhu raised her arms and hugged Chunzhi, burying her face in her shoulder. "If Gu Yuanjia gets mad at me and dies, how can I afford to compensate him?"
"What are you thinking about?" Chunzhi was amused by her sudden words. "Mr. Gu is unwilling to die, and he will not be angry to death by you. You are just scared. Don't think too much. Go back and accompany Nian'er and have a good rest."
Yuzhu's voice was low, "Sister, you don't know."
Chunzhi asked softly, "What do you not know?"
Yuzhu said hoarsely, "Mr. Gu may look elegant, but he's actually very petty and holds a grudge."
Haruji said, "I noticed a little bit of that, too."
"He..." Yuzhu was about to say something else when Huo Zheng's voice, slightly surprised, suddenly came from the room: "Yuanjia, you're awake."
Yuzhu didn't bother to talk to Chunzhi anymore. She let go of her and ran into the inner room, taking two steps at a time to get to the couch.
Gu Yuanjia had just opened his eyes, his eyes still a little hazy. He glanced at Huo Zheng in front of the couch, then moved his eyes back to Yuzhu's face.
"water……"
Master Gu said in a hoarse voice.
The high fever lasted for so long that he was extremely thirsty.
Yuzhu quickly poured a glass of water and brought it to the couch to feed Gu Yuanjia.
Seeing that Master Gu was looking at her as if it wasn't enough, she asked softly, "Are you still thirsty? I'll pour you another cup."
