faint [rebirth]

Chapter 42

Xiao Junye originally felt sorry for Xiao Wuchen who really made him sick, but when he heard that Emperor Chengguang originally planned to feed Xiao Wuchen those great tonic pills, his heart skipped a beat, and he immediately felt that Xiao Wuchen was lucky. Make yourself sick.

Although being ill is troublesome, Xiao Junye would rather Xiao Wuchen get sick for a while than to eat those big tonic pills that don't know whether they are poisonous or not.

It's just that only Xiao Wuchen's servant said that Xiao Wuchen was sick, so naturally he didn't count.

Emperor Chengguang brought the imperial physician with him, got off his shoulders, and went to Xiao Wuchen's carriage, and sure enough, he saw Xiao Wuchen unconscious in a cold sweat.

Seeing Xiao Wuchen lying there with a pale face, Emperor Chengguang's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly remembered that in the past 15 years, from the time he was born to the age of 15, Xiao Wuchen had always looked so sick.

Seeing this, Emperor Chengguang couldn't help feeling compassionate, and personally replaced the handkerchief on Xiao Wuchen's forehead, and asked the imperial physician to start the pulse diagnosis, and asked about Xiao Wuchen's personal servants, Ah Yao and Ah Ya.

Ah dumb can't speak, so Emperor Chengguang didn't ask him, but asked Ah Yao: "I rewarded you to the prince because you are good at medicine, and you are loyal and careful, but you see for yourself, how do you serve the prince?" ? The prince has grown stronger in the past two years, why did he suddenly fall ill? What is the use of this slave?"

The coercion of the emperor is naturally not something ordinary people can bear.

Ah Yao knelt down on the ground and hurriedly said: "This slave is guilty and deserves death. Just please let this slave tell the prince's illness before he dies. Your Majesty knows that this slave likes medicine since childhood, and the prince is tolerant. Those medical skills are nothing, so they taught the slaves to read and write, and finally went to the imperial hospital to serve several imperial doctors for a few years, so that they have today's meager medical skills. Therefore, the slaves usually serve the prince carefully. It's just the prince's The bones of the body look strong, but the inside is empty. You may not be able to see it on weekdays. However, when the prince was on the border before, in order to maintain the dignity of the royal family, he fought the enemy with the soldiers on the battlefield. He had no regular meals and lack of sleep. When the war is over , the prince hurried back all the way. These things, to others, are tiring, but as long as they rest for a few days, they will be relieved quickly. However, the prince's body is already weak. sick?"

Ah Yao kowtowed again: "And your majesty knows about the prince's body. The prince's body is cold, and winter and spring are the hardest times. However, in this scorching summer, although the prince's body is cold, it is also bitter summer. Now it is a whole day Li stayed in this carriage, and the prince forced himself to eat three meals a day. Even so, he couldn't eat much in a day. Under such hard work, he didn't eat much. If he is a slave, he should be more careful. In the end, it was the fault of the slave that made the crown prince sick, and I hope His Majesty will punish him!"

Hearing the words, Emperor Chengguang's eyes flashed a bit of a fatherly look, which soon disappeared. He snorted coldly and said: "If the prince didn't trust you the most... I will never forgive you easily! Wait until the prince If you recover from your illness, you and this mute, go get twenty boards by yourself!"

Emperor Chengguang was naturally angry with A Yao and A Ya, but Xiao Wuchen had always liked the two of them. Needless to say, A Yao, there are very few loyal servants who can learn medicine. Back then, he gave A Yao to Xiao Wuchen. Wuchen was only because Ah Yao had studied medicine with his father for several years before being sold to the palace.But even so, Emperor Chengguang didn't plan to make any achievements in medicine after Ah Yao.It's just that although Xiao Wuchen was young and sick, he had a big idea, so he insisted on letting Ah Yao continue to read and write, and he didn't need the name of an apprentice to follow the imperial physician, as long as he learned from the imperial physician, he could Just learn as much as you want.If so, Ayao can cure common diseases nowadays.It was only because of his own identity and the crown prince that he put most of his energy into poisoning, so as to prevent the prince from being poisoned. Such a level of medical skills is only mediocre.

But even so, a slave like Ah Yao was enough to be valued by Emperor Chengguang, and he was not willing to let him die easily.

As for that Ah Ya...it was just for Xiao Wuchen's eye. Emperor Chengguang neither killed Ah Yao nor shot Ah Ya.

Ah Yao and Ah Ya continued to kneel, not daring to get up.

Only then did Emperor Chengguang look at the imperial physician he had brought to diagnose Xiao Wuchen's pulse.

The imperial physician originally frowned, but after hearing Ah Yao's analysis of the prince's illness, the imperial physician put it on the prince's body, took the pulse twice, and he knew it well.

Said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the prince's body is indeed as the father-in-law said. It looks like an ordinary person on the surface, but it is still weak inside. If you rest well and don't bother yourself, you will naturally not get sick. It's just the prince. This road trip was tiring, and there was another battle at the border, the prince's body has been able to support it until now before he fell ill, it is considered to be well maintained."

The imperial doctor went on to say that the crown prince's illness seems to be caused by swallowing ice and catching a cold. After all, the summer is scorching hot and he is traveling all the way. The crown prince is young, and although he is in poor health, he can't bear it. some.As for catching a cold... the imperial doctor looked at the sky outside, and was quite puzzled.

Of course Ah Yao couldn't say that the cold was caused by the prince rubbing ice cubes on his body before, so he got cold in this hot day, so he could only say: "Maybe the carriage is too hot and put too much ice on it." The prince caught cold. After all, the prince is weak, and the servants did not dare to let the prince take more ice cubes, so they had to use ice cubes in the car to cool off the heat..."

The imperial doctor lowered his eyes and didn't speak.

Emperor Chengguang agreed with this statement, nodded, and asked Fang Zi.

Only then did the imperial physician tell Emperor Chengguang the prescription he wanted to prescribe.Emperor Chengguang also read medical books, so he inquired about some medicinal materials, and after hearing the explanation from the imperial physician, he was relieved to let people hurry back to the palace to cook the medicinal materials for the prince.As for the group of them, they walked slowly into the palace, so as not to go too fast and jolt the prince.

After Chengguang Emperor finished speaking, he asked about all the things around Xiao Wuchen, sat with Xiao Wuchen for a long time, then went outside, said in front of the army that he was about to reward the army, and finally went to see After leaving Xiao Wuchen, he left.

After returning to the palace, Emperor Chengguang bestowed large sums of rewards one after another, filling up a new warehouse in the East Palace.

That night Xiao Wuchen had a fever all the time, although the fever was not high, he was extremely uncomfortable, and kept murmuring.

After Emperor Chengguang knew about it, he came to take care of his son in the middle of the night, until the servants around him urged him three times and invited him four times. Thinking of the morning court the next day, he finally changed a veil for Xiao Wuchen and left.

When Emperor Chengguang left, Ah Yao waited on Xiao Wuchen, and at the same time said to Ah Chou in a very small voice: "You said, Your Majesty used to be so kind to the prince, just like the most loving father in the world. The prince is ill today, and according to the prince's instructions, I deliberately exaggerated the prince's inner weakness, and your majesty has become that loving father again. Do you think your majesty just wants the prince to be sick like this?"

Ah Chou remained silent for a long time, until Emperor Chengguang who had not left for a long time sent someone to deliver a reward, and then lowered his voice and said: "Your Majesty, you are not only the father of His Highness, but also the emperor of the Daxing Dynasty. Zizhuang and the elders , perhaps, this is what His Majesty is worried about."

It is precisely because of this kind of worry that Emperor Chengguang did these deeds.

Obviously, if the crown prince has always been weak and is not as good as others, then, as far as His Majesty is concerned, there is no need to worry about this son being like the previous son. For Emperor Chengguang, this is the son he likes and is willing to spend a lot of effort to dote on.

However, once the son is healthy...

Ah Yao and Ah Chou figured out what it meant at the same time, apart from being surprised and angry, they could only silently take care of Xiao Wuchen who made him sick.

The two of them thought at the same time, their prince probably expected the reason for this, so before arriving in Luoyang, he suddenly made himself sick, right?

After all, only in this way can Emperor Chengguang's fatherly heart be aroused from the bottom of Emperor Chengguang's heart.Only in this way can they have a breathing space.

Xiao Wuchen continued to be unconscious.At that time, he thought of intentionally getting sick, which was indeed what Ah Yao and A Chou thought, but what he understood more was that his illness had to be neither serious nor serious—too mild, Emperor Chengguang He may not be willing to recall the many loves he had for him, it is too heavy, maybe he has just recovered his body, and he will return to the weak point where he can't even punch every day.

Xiao Wuchen was still thinking about the promise he had made with the emperor's uncle, and he really didn't want to destroy his body at this moment - the imperial physician in his previous life said that his body couldn't bear love, neither male nor female.It was probably because of this that the emperor didn't say anything even though he was executed by him.

this life...

When Xiao Wuchen was slowly waking up, he couldn't help but think in his heart, in this life, he still needs to take good care of his body.Aside from other things, at least it has to be raised like a normal person, and it can withstand Huanai...

Thinking like this, Xiao Wuchen's face started to heat up slightly.

Fortunately, he already had a fever, so if his face was hotter and redder, it would not be a big deal.

"woke up?"

Xiao Wuchen was stunned, hearing this unusually cold and familiar voice, he looked at the speaker with some surprise.

"Uncle Huang, why are you..." Xiao Wuchen was about to ask Uncle Huang why he would suddenly talk to him so coldly, when he suddenly remembered that he was in the carriage yesterday, and suddenly thought that he shouldn't go back so intact, It's good to be sick.It's just that if he wants to get sick, the emperor will definitely not allow it.That's why he came up with such a trick, let Ah Yao quietly bring a whole basin of ice cubes over.

Then it's just natural to get sick.

It's just that when Xiao Wuchen was sick, he felt it was right.Since he is a crown prince, he doesn't plan to force his father to be emperor for the time being. Naturally, he wants to make a living under his father's nose. This disease is a must.

It's a pity that he was sick, and he felt very uncomfortable.But thinking about it carefully, he and the emperor's uncle haven't explained this matter in detail yet.

It's not surprising that the emperor's uncle is angry now.

"Uncle Emperor——" Xiao Wuchen's voice became extremely hoarse as soon as he opened his mouth, which was very unpleasant.

Xiao Wuchen immediately shut up and refused to speak, but looked at Xiao Junye pitifully.

Xiao Junye's heart suddenly softened.

He knew in his heart that under normal circumstances, Xiao Wuchen would never look at him like this begging for mercy, but now Xiao Wuchen is sick.People who are sick are always more "weak" than usual.

With just one glance, Xiao Junye's plan to "teach" Xiao Wuchen with a sullen face all collapsed.

Xiao Junye: "..." He still tried his best to keep his face expressionless, but he brought a glass of honey water in his hand, put the water aside first, then stretched out his hand, supported Xiao Wuchen to sit up, leaned against the On the big pillow at the back, pinched Xiao Wuchen's chin and fed water.

Xiao Wuchen: "..." He opened his mouth to refuse, but the honey water slipped into his mouth along the opened mouth.

So Xiao Wuchen could only let the angry uncle pour the whole glass of water into him.

After drinking the honey water, Xiao Wuchen slapped Xiao Junye's hand away, and glared at Xiao Junye: "The emperor should give me the cup, I will drink it myself."

Xiao Junye naturally refused to believe him, and said expressionlessly: "Honey water is too sweet, you have never liked sweetness." So, if the cup was given to Xiao Wuchen, Xiao Wuchen would at most take a sip or two to moisten his lips , is determined not to drink too much.

Xiao Wuchen: "..."

Why does he feel that since he and the emperor's uncle have spoken, the emperor's uncle has taken care of him more and more?In the past, she still blindly loved and spoiled him, but now, she is clearly meddling in his affairs, big and small, and supervising his basic necessities of life more strictly than the imperial physician!

Although Xiao Junye couldn't fully understand Xiao Wuchen's complaints from the bottom of his heart, he could guess a little or two in his heart.

But even if he guessed it, he would never change it.

A joke, raising a nephew and raising a daughter-in-law, can that be the same?

Since he raised Xiao Wuchen as his wife, he naturally wanted to raise Xiao Wuchen healthier.

Healthy enough...to be able to bear the joy of fish and water and the joy of cloud and rain between the two of them in the future.

In the future, on the bed, Xiao Junye can love Xiao Wuchen wantonly, and Xiao Wuchen can also enjoy the ultimate happiness.

Thinking about it later, Xiao Wuchen's health recovered, and the two of them would be able to live together forever and die together in the future.

Xiao Junye thought about it, and there were so many things in his head.In this way, he became even more annoyed that Xiao Wuchen made himself ill suddenly.

"There will be no next time." Xiao Junye took a handkerchief, wiped the water stains from the corners of the young man's lips, and said with a straight face, "If there is a next time, the emperor will not spare you."

Xiao Wuchen: "...Why does the emperor not spare me? Do you want to drink this sweet and greasy honey water again?"

Xiao Junye thought to himself, what kind of lesson is that honey water?Immediately, he meaningfully began to look up and down the boy on the bed, with a strong and predatory look in his eyes.

Xiao Wuchen: "..." Should he be thankful that he is sick and that his body happens to be covered with a quilt?

Fortunately, Xiao Junye's eyes only flashed, and he didn't want to scare Xiao Wuchen anymore, he started to talk in a rambling manner, and finally said: "There really can't be a next time."

Xiao Wuchen paused for a moment before replying: "If it is possible, I don't want to have a next time. However, Uncle Huang probably knows what Royal Father is thinking. If I remain ill, then Royal Father will treat me as a His most beloved child, the most ideal heir. However, once my illness is cured...whether the emperor will give me the pill again is not certain."

Although Emperor Chengguang took pills for several years, at the beginning and now, he looked much younger than before, but although Xiao Wuchen and Xiao Junye were not proficient in alchemy, they were familiar with the things used by the Daoist priest. Clearly.The Taoist priest claimed to be an extraordinary person, even gold and silver utensils, etc., could be mixed with medicinal materials and refined into elixirs.

How dare Xiao Wuchen eat the pill refined from such a thing?How could Xiao Junye be willing to eat Xiao Wuchen?

It's all for others, Xiao Wuchen's body is weak, if he eats his body, who will pay Xiao Wuchen for him?

After hearing this, Xiao Junye really started to frown.In fact, he had the intention to say that if the Holy Majesty is still like this, then they simply follow the example of abolishing the prince and forcing the palace to forget it.

With him here, and the status of the prince, coupled with careful planning, there is no worry that this matter will not succeed.

But with this thought, Xiao Junye saw Xiao Wuchen frowning and thinking hard, and knew that Xiao Wuchen still admired Emperor Chengguang, and he had never thought about such things at all.

Xiao Junye sighed in his heart, and could only say: "Even so, leave it to Uncle Huang."

Xiao Wuchen looked up at him.

Xiao Junye said softly: "Uncle Huang, think of a way. At least let Chen'er pretend to be sick when he needs to be sick. You don't have to take it seriously like today and make yourself sick."

Xiao Wuchen looked at the uncle who had already removed his beard, and nodded silently.

He knew that what the uncle said must mean what he said.

Just like before, so too.

However, Xiao Wuchen hesitated for a long time, and then said: "Perhaps there is another way, so that Royal Father doesn't have to worry too much about my health for the time being."

Then he talked to Xiao Junye about cutting the feudal clan.

In his previous life, his body was weak. Although his father was old, he claimed that he was at least healthier than him, and he had no interest in pills. Therefore, in this winter, a sudden illness exhausted his life. .

It is precisely because of this that Xiao Wuchen's succession to the throne is barely considered normal.

Just looking at the current situation, his father has people feel his pulse every day, and he has searched for famous doctors all over the world. It is obvious that he will not pass away suddenly like in his previous life.

If this is the case, before the death of the father, the matter of letting him cut down the feudal clan may be pushed to the father first, and let the father do this first-the father is too guarded against him now, Xiao Wuchen He didn't want to force the palace, and he didn't want to be too aggrieved by his father's defense, so he could only come up with this trick.

Cut the domain.

This is something that has to be done.Otherwise, all the kings will be divided into feudal titles. Doesn't it mean that all the territories in this world will be divided among the various vassal kings?And the emperor himself, what can be left?

Regardless of the future, just look at the present. The vassal king is powerful. Even if the emperor wants to use the soldiers in the vassal king's territory, he needs to "borrow" from the vassal king. The words "half delivery".This was when Emperor Chengguang was relatively strong.

If it continues like this, the emperor after Xiao Wuchen will probably be "begging", and will not be able to ask for help from the powerful vassal king.

Xiao Junye obviously thought of this too.Speaking of which, the previous dynasty would be destroyed, maybe it was because the princes and kings were entrusted too much, which led to the instability of the imperial power.It’s just that most of the kings with different surnames were entrusted in the previous dynasty, so the Emperor Taizu of this dynasty would wantonly entrust the descendants of the Xiao surname in an attempt to restrict the existence of kings with different surnames in the world.

It's just that after the two emperors Bintian, Emperor Chengguang has now tasted the bitter fruit of the division of feudal kings.It's just that foreign enemies are ahead, and he is too old to have the time and energy to fight hard with these vassal kings. He only wants to hand over these matters to the next emperor.

Originally, Xiao Wuchen was reluctant to waste his thoughts on these things when his father was old.After all, cutting down the feudal clan is a big matter. In the previous life, if Xiao Wuchen hadn't made up his mind and the emperor's uncle helped him with all his strength, and they used tricks, maybe Xiao Wuchen's throne would not have been able to be kept at that time.

Just this life...

Xiao Wuchen couldn't help being frightened when he thought of the situation that his father had given him the pill yesterday, and he still prepared two kinds of pills with different effects.

It is true that he admires his father, but it is also true that he wants to live a long life.

What's more, he now has an uncle.

Xiao Junye had a delicate mind, and also discovered the evils of the court early on. When he heard the words, his heart moved, and he said: "Chen'er really thinks clearly? This plan is good. If Your Majesty is willing to worry about this matter, Chen'er will take over if you want to." In the next few years, I will live more comfortably. It's just that, in the future, when Chen'er succeeds to the throne and after he succeeds, it may be more troublesome. Will Chen'er be afraid?"

More than trouble?The vassal kings of this dynasty accounted for half of the Daxing Dynasty, not to mention Xiao Junye who has won the name of a vassal king, but has never been a vassal prince.If Emperor Chengguang and Xiao Wuchen really planned to cut down the vassals and touch the interests of those vassal kings, I'm afraid those people would do anything.

Xiao Wuchen smiled slightly, but it was rare for him to take the initiative to hold Xiao Junye's hand: "With Uncle Huang here, I am not afraid of anything."

Hearing this sentence, Xiao Junye only felt a burning sensation in his heart, his whole body was filled with qi and blood, he wished he could not go forward, kiss the young man's lips, peel off the young man's clothes, do such intimate things, let the young man know , he is really worthy of the youth's trust, and he also likes the youth's trust...

Xiao Wuchen felt guilty when he was stared at by the uncle's tiger-like gaze, and was about to say something else to tell the uncle not to look at him like this, when he heard the uncle take the initiative to look away, walked quickly to the table, and held up his hand. He poured three cups of herbal tea into the teapot that had been cooled down, and drank it all in one gulp, and after a while, it finally got better.

Xiao Wuchen: "..." Isn't that what he thought?

After Xiao Junye recovered, he regained his senses, turned around, walked to Xiao Wuchen's side again, hugged him suddenly, and said in a low voice: "Then, if even if you cut down the feudal clan, His Majesty still won't let you go? Chen'er, you I don’t know, after you came back yesterday, the two pills that were originally intended to be rewarded to you have already been rewarded to King Yuan.”

Xiao Wuchen was concerned, closed his eyes slightly, and after a while, he finally said: "If that's the case, then, Uncle Huang will help me again, send my father to spend the rest of my life, and be a carefree Supreme Emperor."
