Chapter 15

February is coming in a blink of an eye. The weather is getting better and better day by day, but the emperor is sick.

Originally, I had typhoid fever and had a cough disease, but somehow I couldn't cure it. In the middle of February, I became more serious and I could hardly get out of bed. I kept the medicine in my mouth every day, but there was no improvement at all.

As the chief of the emperor, Chu Shaoling was going to serve the disease, so he naturally didn't have to do anything. He just handed over the medicine decocted by the imperial doctor and watched the emperor drink it in one mouthful. The emperor poured the medicine one bowl after another, but it was useless.

The empress dowager was so anxious that she kept blaming the imperial doctor for being useless. She looked at the people around her and scolded the concubines for being unfavorable for serving. Concubine Shu and Xian had to take care of the matters of the six palaces. She could not be forgiven if she could not take care of her for a while after the New Year. Only Concubine Li was busy and had no good service. The empress dowager was anxious and took advantage of the excuse to be Concubine Li several times, cursing the limelight that she had regained her restoration.

It was okay to have cabinet ministers dealt with it, but it was about to be the spring plowing in March. In previous years, the emperors who followed the old calendar had to go outside the city to farm and encourage farming to be blessed and hope for a good harvest. Now the emperor will definitely not be able to go like this.

The Empress Dowager thought about the matter of farming in person, and when he was young at night, he mentioned it to the emperor and said slowly: "The emperor is like this, so it is natural that it is not appropriate to move. It is better to send a prince to the emperor to do so without delaying the official business."

The emperor had just drunk a bowl of Tremella and pear soup, and his cough was slightly better, and he was silent when he heard this.

The emperor is just 39 years old this year and has begun to care about the prince.

The court officials mentioned it from time to time, the concubines hinted intentionally or unintentionally, and the princes’ struggles openly and secretly, which annoyed the emperor. No emperor would like to mention the prince’s issue from time to time. Men’s persistence in power is absolutely, and the sick emperor is more sensitive to this.

The empress dowager and the emperor and his son were in love, so she naturally knew the emperor’s thoughts. Seeing that the emperor refused to respond, he continued: “It’s better to let Ling’er go as the emperor. Now that the prince has not been established, he has to let the eldest son go.”

The Empress Dowager did not mention the "legitimate son" this time. The emperor let go of his brows a little, and did not say he agreed or disagree. He said lightly: "What the Queen Mother is thinking about."

"I just hope that the emperor will get better one day earlier." The empress dowager's eyes turned slightly red. "My mother recites scriptures every day for you, why are she still sick? Are you asking the Ai family for her life..."

The sick emperor was the softest and hurriedly said, "It is the son's fault to make his mother worry about it."

The Queen Mother took the teacup presented by the palace servant to the emperor and whispered: "If you know you are wrong, get better soon. It's not enough for the grandchildren to worry about the Ai family all day long. Now you are also causing trouble, so I miss you."

The emperor smiled and took a sip of tea with the empress dowager's hand. After a moment of silence, he said: "Ling'er will go on the matter of spring plowing."

The Queen Mother nodded and chuckled: "Ling'er will definitely be able to do the job well."

Chu Shaoling was also stunned when he received the order. The emperor couldn't get sick, and he thought that the matter of spring farming would be sent to him, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.

The prince went out of the city to hold a spring plowing ceremony. Many etiquettes naturally cannot be the same as before. Officials of the Ministry of Rites told Chu Shaoling the process of spring plowing for half a day, and finally said: "The emperor is still in the palace, so the imperial guards naturally cannot move. I am thinking..."

"This is natural." Chu Shaoling smiled, "You can send the guards of the cavalry camp, but you dare not work on the imperial guards."

Officials from the Ministry of Rites also knew that Chu Shaoling's new commander of the Xiaoqi Camp was promoted by Chu Shaoling, and they followed suit: "Yes, I heard that although the Xiaoqi Camp's guard war was young, he was the most stable person in the old city. The eldest prince of the Xiaoqi Camp's guarding must not make any mistakes."

Chu Shaoling smiled, turned his head to look at the guards behind him, and discussed some details of spring farming with the Minister of Rites and returned to Bitaoyuan.

When Wei Ji smiled and said softly, "I thanked Your Highness for your brother for help."

When Chu Shaoling heard this, he couldn't help but tease: "No need to fight for the guards, but it's all for you, thank you?"

Wei Ji blushed, and didn't know how to answer the conversation. He was stunned and hesitated: "Tomorrow is my day to rest, and my brother... I'm just going to rest."

Chu Shaoling raised his eyebrows and smiled. Since he returned home with a wound, Chu Shaoling has not asked him to go back much. This time, the Wei Ji has not returned for another month. It seems that he is homesickness. Chu Shaoling has given grace and has approved the Wei Ji for one day off.

Chu Shaoling was afraid that Wei Ji was wronged, so he coaxed him: "I'm afraid you will be beaten again when you go back. When your father goes to office, he will definitely not stop you from going home."

This time, Chu Shaoling asked Wei Ji to bring two letters back, one for Wei Ming, and praised Wei Ji and Wei Zhan for a few words. His words were vague, hinting that the two of them should not settle their marriage. Wei Ming was still smart and should be able to understand his meaning. The other letter was for Wei Zhan. Chu Shaoling asked Wei Ji to give Wei Zhan in a place where no one was. He didn't know what Wei Ji wrote in the letter.

It was about February 28th, the day that the Imperial Heaven Supervision had been guarding. On that day, Chu Shaoling got up early to Chengqian Palace to invite the emperor to the emperor, and then went to Ci'an Palace. Finally, Chu Shao, Ruan, Chu Shaoyang and others sent it out of the palace.

After leaving the palace, there was still half a day before he left, so Chu Shaoling stopped being restrained. He got off the carriage he accompanied and took the guards.

Chu Shaoling wore a purple robe today, and the luxurious purple brocade embroidered dragon totem with gold thread, which was extremely exquisite. When Chu Shaoling got into the car, he pulled the Guardian and let him sit beside him. Guardian was afraid of pressing Chu Shaoling's clothes and lowered his voice and said anxiously: "Your Highness, don't make trouble... You can hear it outside."

Chu Shaoling smiled and said softly: "Who is messing with you? There are still two hours left to go. Wouldn't you be tired of riding a horse?"

"It's just two hours won't be tired." Wei Ji was originally from the Guards camp, so he naturally didn't care about this hard work. "Are you tired?"

"No." Chu Shaoling shook his head and smiled, took a plate of snacks from the carriage and handed them to Weiji, "Pea yellow, what do you like to eat."

The Guards were not eaten well when they got up early, but now they were hungry. They nodded: "I thank Your Highness for the reward." After saying that, they brought them over and started eating. Chu Shaoling looked at him seriously and wanted to laugh, so he poured him another cup of tea.

Chu Shaoling lifted up the curtains and looked outside in a daze. He ate the guards carefully and picked up the broken plates and ate them all. After eating, he took the teacup and drank them in one sip. He looked around and whispered: "Your Highness, I'd better go outside to guard the guard?"

Chu Shaoling tsk when he heard this, closed the curtain, and chuckled: "I just finished eating and wanted to leave? Stay honestly, your elder brother is outside, there is no one you." Chu Shaoling held Wei Ji's hand and pinched it, closing his eyes to rest.

Wei Ji had no choice but to rest. He slept with Chu Shaoling late last night. Now he had eaten and rested in the carriage and was sleepy for a while. He was dozing off his head bit by bit. Chu Shaoling opened his eyes and couldn't help laughing as he looked at him. He gently hugged Wei Ji and let him pillow on his legs. Wei Ji was so sleepy that he hugged Chu Shaoling's legs and fell asleep.

Another hour passed, and the group had already left the city for dozens of miles. Chu Shaoling lifted the curtain of the car. There was a forest of maple trees in front of it. The forest was densely shrub, and it looked dim from a distance. Wei Zhan rode his horse slowly approaching Chu Shaoling's carriage, with his eyes full of vigilance.

The carriage was getting closer and closer to the maple forest, and a hundred assassins suddenly rushed out of the forest. Shi Chi was about to come, and the group showed off their weapons and rushed towards Chu Shaoling's carriage. Wei Zhan was the first to react and shouted "protect the carriage". Wei Ji suddenly opened his eyes, looked out, picked up the big sword that was placed aside and turned over and rushed out! Chu Shaoling realized that Shi Wei Ji had rushed to the assassin!

"Gui Ji!" Chu Shaoling called him into the carriage because he was afraid something would happen to him. Unexpectedly, he didn't stop him. Chu Shaoling was anxious and jumped off the carriage in desperation and said anxiously, "Gui Ji! Come back for me!"

The Guards were fighting against two assassins. The Guards learned all the guards from entering the Guards camp. Both humans and gods destroyed the heaven and earth and injured them. As long as they were not seeking self-protection, they saw blood. The Guards slashed into the left chest of an assassin with a knife. Hearing a sound, he looked back at Chu Shaoling. Another assassin took the opportunity to pounce behind the Guards. He was about to move and was hacked to death by several guards. These people were instructed by Chu Shaoling, so he hurriedly protected the Guards back to Chu Shaoling.
