Chapter 184 Zhaoyue
Hongcao and Jiang Zhaoyue asked together: "What did you say?"
Hongyao said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has woken up."
Hongcao learned the news from Eunuch Gao, saying that there was a great victory in the border state and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and others were about to return to the capital.
She tacitly accepted that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had already... So when she heard the Crown Princess ask how His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would come back, the answer that came to her mind was to transport the body or ashes back.
Now when she heard Hongyao say that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had woken up, she was extremely shocked.
Jiang Zhaoyue was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
Seeing the expressions of the two, Hongyao hurriedly took out a letter from her bosom and said, "That's what Pei Jing said in the letter."
Hongcao was surprised: "A letter from Pei Jing to you?"
Hongyao nodded.
Jiang Zhaoyue quickly stretched out her hand: "Let me see."
Hongyao handed over the letter.
Jiang Zhaoyue took the envelope with trembling fingers. He tried to take out the letter several times but failed. The envelope even fell to the ground.
Hongyao hurried forward and picked up the envelope.
"Take out the letter." Jiang Zhaoyue's voice trembled.
Hongyao quickly took out the letter and handed it to Jiang Zhaoyue.
Jiang Zhaoyue saw at a glance the words written by Pei Jing: "After more than two months of treatment and waiting, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince finally woke up. We will set off to return to Beijing in a few days."
She read it over and over again, then looked up at Hongyao in a daze, not believing that Pei Jingzhou had woken up, just like she didn't believe that Pei Jingzhou was dead at the beginning: "Is this, is this true?"
"It's true." Hongyao was extremely firm: "This was written by Pei Jing himself, it's absolutely true."
"Why did Pei Jing write to you?" Hongcao asked.
"I..." Hongyao paused, then told the truth: "Pei Jing and I have been exchanging letters."
Hong Cao immediately understood that the relationship between the two was unusual, but now was not the time to pursue this issue. She asked, "Then why didn't he write to the Crown Princess, saying that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had woken up?"
"General Chen has already formally written a letter to the Emperor, so it is inconvenient for him to write to the Crown Princess again." Hongyao said.
Hongcao looked at Jiang Zhaoyue, wanting to know what she meant.
Jiang Zhaoyue didn't care who Pei Jing was writing to. She was stunned for a moment and asked, "So His Highness has been in a coma this whole time?"
"Yes, the emperor has always said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in a coma." Hongyao said.
yes.
Emperor Hong Qi always said that Pei Jingzhou was unconscious, but he knew that the poison and injuries in Pei Jingzhou's body were too serious, so he was always very pessimistic and believed that Pei Jingzhou would not survive.
At the same time, the three kings of the southwest were becoming disloyal, and the Great Jin needed cohesion, so he did not reveal Pei Jingzhou's situation to more people.
Jiang Zhaoyue, like Concubine Hui, Princess Duojia and others, all tacitly acknowledged that Pei Jingzhou was no longer with us. The reason they kept it secret was for political reasons.
Unexpectedly.
Unexpectedly.
Unexpectedly, Pei Jingzhou survived... She still couldn't believe it. She suddenly sat up and walked out.
"Crown Princess." Hongcao called.
"Take good care of Yuan Yao." Jiang Zhaoyue left a word.
"Yes." Hongcao turned to look at Hongyao: "You go and follow the Crown Princess."
"Okay." Hongyao quickly put the letter away and started to chase after him.
Jiang Zhaoyue walked quickly towards the Council Hall.
Eunuch Gao was walking towards him.
Jiang Zhaoyue almost bumped into him.
"Oh, it's the Crown Princess. I'm sorry for being so rude." Eunuch Gao stepped back repeatedly.
"It's okay." Jiang Zhaoyue steadied himself and continued walking quickly.
"Princess, wait a minute." Eunuch Gao said hurriedly.
"Eunuch Gao, I have something very important to discuss with my father right now. Please tell me what you want to say later." Nothing could compare to Pei Jingzhou's affairs right now.
"The important thing that the Crown Princess mentioned should be the same thing that this old servant wants to say."
Jiang Zhaoyue paused and looked back at Eunuch Gao.
"Is the Crown Princess asking the Emperor about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" asked Eunuch Gao.
Jiang Zhaoyue asked: "Do you know?"
"The Emperor guessed that the Crown Princess must be very anxious, so he sent this old servant to tell her that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has woken up and will be returning to the capital soon." Eunuch Gao couldn't help but smile.
Even after hearing what Hongyao said, Jiang Zhaoyue still couldn't help asking, "Your Highness, is he, is he really awake?"
"It's absolutely true." said Eunuch Gao.
"You're not lying to me, are you?"
"Crown Princess, even if you give me ten heads, I wouldn't dare lie to you, much less misrepresent the emperor's will." Eunuch Gao said with a smile, "Crown Princess, just wait patiently. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be back soon."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be back soon...
Will be back soon...
Will be back...
I'm back...
The haze that had been hanging over his head suddenly dissipated. Jiang Zhaoyue couldn't help but smile, and then big tears rolled down her face.
Eunuch Gao was startled: "Crown Princess..."
"Don't bother me, don't bother me." Jiang Zhaoyue walked towards the East Palace crying and laughing.
Eunuch Gao stared blankly.
Jiang Zhaoyue suddenly came back.
Eunuch Gao was stunned.
Jiang Zhaoyue took out a stack of gold leaves from her bosom and stuffed them into Eunuch Gao's hands: "Thank you for bringing this good news."
"this……"
Jiang Zhaoyue turned around and left, continuing to cry and laugh.
Hongyao walked beside him with red eyes.
Jiang Zhaoyue returned to Muhuayuan, entered the bedroom, lay on the bed and cried again. After that, she was busy with the affairs of the Eastern Palace while waiting for Pei Jingzhou to come back.
One day.
Two days.
Three days.
…
Ten days.
…
The 20th.
…
The entire capital was celebrating the army's triumphant return. The remarks that had once criticized the prince were finally reversed. People in the streets and alleys praised His Royal Highness the Prince for caring about the people, being brave and resourceful, and for going to the border state alone, leading the soldiers to charge into battle, destroying the Southern Jiang Kingdom, and saving the people of the border state.
Chen Xuanmo and others also became heroes of the Great Jin Dynasty.
As a result, only General Li and General Lin returned, but Pei Jingzhou, Chen Xuanmo and others were not seen. After asking carefully, they found out that Pei Jingzhou had not recovered yet and had caught a fever on the way because he had been in too much of a hurry.
Chen Xuanmo and others did not dare to move forward, so they asked the army to return first, and they walked slowly with Pei Jingzhou.
Jiang Zhaoyue breathed a sigh of relief, but her heart was lifted again, and she continued to wait.
One day.
Two days.
…
Ten days.
…
The 20th.
…
Another month passed, and autumn arrived. Yuan Yao was already more than four months old. He no longer had the bright red color and wrinkled appearance of a newborn. His whole body was like a freshly peeled hard-boiled egg, tender and smooth. His facial features gradually stretched out, and he looked like a smaller and more fleshy version of Pei Jingzhou.
It looks amazing.
Princess Duojia would come over to hug and kiss him every now and then, and would not stop until he made him cry out in pain.
Pei Heng would come to see him whenever he had time.
Taking advantage of the warm sunshine, Jiang Zhaoyue held him in her arms to bask in the sun.
But the little guy fell asleep after just a while of basking in the sun.
"He really loves to sleep." Jiang Zhaoyue smiled and handed Yuan Yao to the wet nurse: "Take him to bed."
"Yes." The wet nurse took it and walked towards the bedroom.
Nanny Yun followed.
Jiang Zhaoyue stood in the courtyard, looking up at the blue sky, wondering where Pei Jingzhou was and when he could return to the capital, the East Palace, and Muhuayuan.
A cool autumn breeze blew, bringing with it a familiar, gentle, cold yet slightly trembling voice: "Zhao Yue."
