Chapter 449 Curse
Xie Jingmo didn't say anything else, just lowered his head and continued to look through Zhou Zhe.
Another year has passed.
Everything in the palace was in order, and the country enjoyed peace and prosperity that year.
Everyone was praising Xie Jingmo, the new emperor.
The previous emperors either died early or were seriously ill. Yun Zhao was indeed capable, but he came to power out of thin air. He did not have the foundation and majesty that Xie Jingmo had.
Xie Jingmo came to the throne and worked diligently, leading to his current status.
Chang'an is prosperous.
On New Year's Day, Xie Jingmo went to the city in disguise.
Passing by a medical clinic.
He didn't know why, but he suddenly stopped.
Deputy General Gao glanced at Xie Jingmo's indifferent expression and said, "How about going in and taking a look?"
Xie Jingmo said, "No."
That day, Kyoto's bright lights illuminated the entire street.
Everyone's face was filled with smiles.
Xie Jingmo walked into the bustling street, but still felt cold.
That day was the first time Xie Jingmo went to the Cining Palace in two years.
The inside is as clean as new.
Qicai heard the door open and turned around in surprise, but her smile faded when she saw Xie Jingmo coming alone.
Xie Jingmo waved his hand and let Qicai go down.
There was only silence in the Cining Palace.
The lotus flowers in the lotus pond have now withered, and only a pool of clear water remains in the bare pond.
Xie Jingmo lay on the chair that Yun Zhao used to like to lie on, rocking gently.
That day.
Candles burned all night long in Kyoto.
The rocking chair in the Cining Palace also rocked all night.
The next morning.
Xie Jingmo had a fever.
But Qicai was frightened to death, and he ran out tremblingly to call the imperial physician.
Because Yun Zhao left, the entire Cining Palace was empty, and Qicai volunteered to stay and take care of the daily life of the Cining Palace.
She is alone here.
In the morning, Vice-President Gao came to look for someone and said that it was time for the morning court session. Xie Jingmo, who usually attended court on time, now had his eyes closed and his face flushed, and no matter how they called him, he couldn't wake up.
When Qicai ran out to call the imperial physician, he was so scared that he fell down several times.
Deputy General Gao shouted from behind, "Slow down! Don't let yourself fall to your death without calling the imperial physician!"
Why dare Qicai to be slow?
This is a new emperor. If something happens in the Cining Palace, she will not be qualified to apologize even with her death.
Qicai ran wildly in the palace with her hair disheveled.
When Doctor Li heard that Xie Jingmo was ill, he picked up his medicine box and rushed to the Cining Palace with a large group of doctors.
The noise was so loud that the entire palace was in an uproar.
So the imperial doctors rushed to the Cining Palace.
The ministers were chasing after him.
A group of military generals relied on their good health and bypassed the imperial doctors and arrived directly at the Cining Palace.
Everyone unconsciously fell silent at the door, their heads poking inside.
They saw that the man who was usually diligent and hardworking now had his eyes closed, breathing heavily, pressing his fingers on his temples, and saying, "Help me up, I'm going to court."
Deputy General Gao immediately pushed the man back. "Why are you still attending court? Your forehead is so hot you can fry an egg on it. Go get some rest!"
"Where's the imperial physician?"
"Imperial Physician!"
The people outside looked at Xie Jingmo worriedly.
Someone whispered, "Have you heard the story of Lord Chen from Jiangnan?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's faces turned unhappy.
It is rumored that during the reign of the Supreme Emperor, there was a Lord Li who was diligent and conscientious. However, one day when a high-ranking official was on inspection, he did not give any benefits in private and was later framed to death.
The son of Lord Li sold his property and went to the capital to file a complaint with the emperor.
However, he was killed when he reached the gate of the capital.
The corpse was hanging on a crooked tree not far from the city gate, and the scene was extremely tragic.
Many people say that Lord Li's son cursed the Kyoto royal family before his death.
The Xie Dynasty was cursed, and there would be no peace for generations to come. All of their descendants would be girls, and even if they gave birth to boys, they would be weak and short-lived.
Not long after, the emperor died.
The next emperor had a harem of 28 concubines, all of whom gave birth to daughters.
Later, the queen gave birth to a boy, but she passed away when the child was left alone.
This child later ascended the throne, but as if cursed, he died young before the age of ten.
Everyone said that the reason the queen was able to give birth to a boy was because of Yun Zhao, otherwise the queen would not have been able to give birth to the child.
The reason why the child was able to live for so many years and not be cursed to death was also because of Yun Zhao.
The Xie family's empire can only be maintained with Yun Zhao's protection.
Now, Yun Zhao is gone, but the person who maintained the fortunes of the Xie family is also gone, so they will be cursed again!
The rumors outside are very detailed.
The Imperial Hospital was therefore under increased pressure, fearing that this wise new master would feel unwell.
Now, I actually have a fever.
They were extremely terrified. The ministers under them had just enjoyed two years of good life and were also afraid that something might happen to Xie Jingmo.
For a moment, there was a crowd of people surrounding the Cining Palace in three layers inside and outside.
When the doctor came out, everyone asked in unison, "How is it?!"
The doctor wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "You caught a cold. You'll be fine after some treatment."
As soon as these words were spoken.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief!
Qi Caipao's hair was messy, her shoes were lost, and her eyes were red and swollen from crying.
When Xie Jingmo was carried away, he said to Qicai, "I'm fine. You take good care of the Cining Palace and wait for your master to come back."
Qicai was so drunk that she just nodded.
After everyone had left, Qicai wiped the tears from her face and thought blankly.
Did I hear it wrong?
When the Emperor left, he said—
Waiting for your master to come back?
Queen Mother?
But didn’t the Queen Mother leave?
How could he come back?
Qicai was completely confused and thought he had misheard.
The next day.
The new emperor took leave again.
It sounds nice to say that you are taking a break, but in reality, the disease has not been cured.
The same thing happened on the third day.
The first time, everyone could comfort themselves by saying, "It's okay, it's okay, it's just a cold, everyone gets a cold."
On the second day, everyone started to feel a little uneasy, but they remained completely calm.
The third day, the fourth day...
Everyone started to panic and surrounded Doctor Li at the entrance of the Imperial Hospital.
"Doctor Li, tell us honestly, what is wrong with the emperor?"
"Yes, tell us honestly, we can bear it."
"Doctor Li, please tell me. I'm ready."
Doctor Li wiped the sweat from his forehead and felt that he was going to be forced to death. It would be better for him to retire and return home as soon as possible.
"It's indeed a cold."
"Then why has it not been good?"
Doctor Li also wanted to know why the condition hadn't improved.
The emperor was very cooperative and took medicine every day. The people around him were also very considerate and took good care of him.
Everything went smoothly and there was nothing wrong with it.
Why does it take a little cold for me to get better?
Doctor Li even began to doubt his own medical skills.
Xie Jingmo covered his face and said calmly, "It has nothing to do with Doctor Li. It's probably my own weak constitution. Help me up. I haven't read today's memorials yet."
Deputy General Gao slapped his thigh and said, "Hey, please stop reading the memorials. Your health is more important."
The new Minister of Revenue nodded and said, "The palace physician is ineffective. How about we find a doctor from outside to take a look?"
Xie Jingmo waved his hand, "No, I'm in good health."
Everyone was unsure and hurried out.
Xie Jingmo lay on the couch and said softly, "I'll be fine after a few days of rest."
Just as Deputy General Gao was about to speak, he turned his head and found that Xie Jingmo had fallen asleep.
