"Yes, mother, have a good sleep. I will come to see you in a few days." Zhong Zhiheng slowly stood up and walked out of the bedroom.
"Your Majesty, let's go!"
As the eunuch's sharp voice was heard, the Queen Mother suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and she fell on the edge of the bed like a pile of mud.
"Empress Dowager! Empress Dowager!" Upon hearing the noise, the Empress Dowager's personal maid Bi Qiao rushed into the bedroom. As soon as she saw the bright red blood spots on the floor tiles, she was so frightened that her legs went weak and she knelt in front of the bed. She was busy wiping the Empress Dowager's mouth. She was so anxious that she cried, "Empress Dowager, why are you doing this?"
"Siyao. Siyao..." The Queen Mother shook her head in a confused manner, "Siyao, I'm sorry for you. I'm sorry for you..."
"Imperial Physician! Go and get the Imperial Physician." The maid hurriedly helped the Queen Mother lie down. Then she hurriedly called for the Imperial Physician.
…
"What's that sound?" In the bloody sunset, the dragon chariot slowly passed through Longzong Gate. Zhong Zhiheng looked impatient. He propped his chin with one hand and looked at the reflection of the branches and vines on the vermilion palace wall. It seemed like a ghost.
"Your Majesty, it's the Cining Palace." The chief eunuch Zhao Ruhai came over and said carefully. "It seems that the Queen Mother is not feeling well, and the servants of the Cining Palace went to ask the imperial physician to come."
Zhong Zhiheng frowned, his deep eyes fixed on the reflection of the branches on the wall. He was so annoyed that he spoke after a while: "Let someone cut down all the flowers and trees on the roadside."
Zhao Ruhai looked at the row of Yu Tang Chun with an embarrassed look on his face. He reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, these were planted when the Fourth Prince was born, according to your order."
The fourth prince, Zhong Mingrong, is the second son of Concubine Zhao and is now eight years old.
Concubine Zhao liked Yu Tang Chun the most, but Yu Tang Chun was a southern flower tree, and the climate in the north was cold, so Yu Tang Chun was not easy to survive. But the Emperor still ordered the greenhouse to cultivate it carefully. Finally, in the year when the Fourth Prince was born, Yu Tang Chun finally took root in this imperial city. The flowers of Yu Tang Chun bloomed more and more vigorously every year, just like Concubine Zhao's favor.
Zhong Zhiheng didn't say anything, but just squinted his eyes and looked at Zhao Ruhai. Zhao Ruhai obeyed in his heart, and then hurriedly bowed and said, "Yes, I obey your command."
"Your Majesty, where are you going now?" Zhao Ruhai said with a smile, "Noble Concubine Zhao and Concubine Shu have already prepared dinner."
"Go to Jingren Palace." Zhong Zhiheng said slowly.
"Yes," Zhao Ruhai was startled, then he swept away the dust, "Jingren Palace!"
Yanxi Palace.
"Your Highness! Your Highness is coming to our palace! He has already passed through Jingyun Gate," the chief eunuch of Yanxi Palace came in happily to report, "Your Highness, please get ready to receive him!"
"Really? His Majesty is here?" Concubine Zhao was overjoyed and hurriedly got up from the couch. While tidying up her luxurious clothes and jewelry, she asked the third prince Zhong Mingzheng behind her with a smile, "Do you think my makeup looks good today? Is it too heavy?"
"Mother is a beauty of nature, so she looks good with light or heavy makeup. No matter how I look at her, she looks good," Zhong Mingzheng said with a smile, while helping Concubine Zhao out of the hall, "Father has always been kind to mother. Whenever there is a festival, father will definitely come to accompany mother."
"You are right. His Majesty treats me well, but there are still those shameless bastards who are so shameless as to compete with me for favor." Concubine Zhao snorted coldly, raising her hand to gently stroke a new pair of red jadeite drop earrings, her gorgeous armor shining with golden light.
