MTL - My Brother-in-law is the Prince-Chapter 22 recovering from a serious illness
Chapter 22 Recovery from serious illness
After entering the palace, Zhu Di looked back, but saw that Zhu Gaochi had pulled down a long way, so he stopped, showing a displeased look.
It's not that he doesn't like Zhu Gaochi, this is his son after all, but he just feels that... this son's physical fitness is too worrying, and his image... doesn't look like a prince.
Zhu Gaoxu on the other side is imposing, full of dragon and tiger spirit.
"Father..." Zhu Gaochi finally walked in front of Zhu Di, very embarrassed, and saluted Zhu Di in shame.
Zhu Di sighed and said, "You, go on a diet."
"Yes Yes."
Zhu Di said: "Your brother-in-law Zhang Anshi... hasn't caused trouble recently, right?"
Zhu Gaochi said: "An Shi is still a child..."
Zhu Di said: "This is not necessarily the case."
Zhu Gaochi quickly defended: "Father, An Shi's heart is good, he..."
Zhu Di smiled: "I heard that he, Zhu Yong and Zhang Fu are close friends, but Zhu Yong and Zhang Fu are very promising now, and they have already been called the second culprit in the capital. Why don't you say they are not the three culprits in the capital?" Woolen cloth?"
Zhu Gaochi was dumbfounded and didn't know how to answer for a while.
Zhu Gaoxu was beside him, and he couldn't help showing a little joy, but then he thought of his mother, but he became dejected again.
Zhu Di put his hands behind his back and said, "Let's go, and say something nice in front of your queen mother."
The three father and son walked to the bedroom of Empress Xu.
At this time, Empress Xu was still sleeping.
The **** wanted to wake up Empress Xu, but seeing Zhu Di frowned, he suddenly started to tiptoe. The old **** knew that His Majesty wanted Empress Xu to sleep for a while, so he also quietly retreated.
Zhu Di arrived at the couch, sat down lightly, lowered his eyes, and looked at Empress Xu who was sleeping soundly.
Empress Xu has long been tortured to the point of withering by illness. Zhu Di stared at her like this with tiger eyes, and couldn't help but want to cry.
Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly stood sideways, not daring to make a sound.
Zhu Di was like a statue, sitting stiffly, motionless.
Time passed bit by bit.
More than half an hour.
Even the old **** outside felt a little strange. He tiptoed in to visit for a while, and then he pursed his lips, wanting to say something, but he didn't dare to make a sound.
Outside the dormitory, dozens of eunuchs and court maids were waiting there with various washing utensils and meals to be eaten.
They remained motionless and made no sound.
It's just that everyone's face is a bit puzzled.
Today is… a little unusual.
Time passed slowly.
Another half an hour passed.
The prepared meal has been sent back to be reheated many times.
The warm water that was originally used for grooming had to be replaced several times.
Until another hour passed, when even Zhu Di felt a little numb.
Empress Xu woke up slightly, her eyes slightly opened a line, and she saw Zhu Di, she was a little dazed.
"You're awake." Zhu Di smiled, now he didn't look like a big boss.
After a short moment of daze, Empress Xu said softly, "How long have you been sleeping?"
Without waiting for Zhu Di to answer, the old **** hurried in, lowered his shrill voice and said, "Your Majesty has been asleep for four hours. Your Majesty... Your Majesty... Your Majesty has never slept so soundly in the past year..."
Zhu Di was shocked, and turned to look at Empress Xu. Empress Xu's face was naturally pale, but she seemed a little more energetic than before.
The old **** excitedly said: "Is your lady still coughing..."
"Oh, yes..." Empress Xu also noticed something strange at this time, she held her breath lightly, still feeling a little stuffy in her throat, but... her breath was indeed much smoother than before.
This…
Empress Xu showed an incredible look.
The long-term torment of illness made her feel miserable, and she had already forgotten what it was like when she was healthy.
But even though she still feels a little uncomfortable now, it gives her a feeling of being reborn.
"I feel a little relieved... but I don't know why."
Zhu Di was still sitting there, motionless, dumbfounded.
The old **** said: "Your Majesty...you used to cough at night and couldn't even sleep well, but since last night, when the servants were waiting outside the hall, although there were occasional small coughs, there was no big noise, and it was rare for your majesty to sleep. I felt a sense of steadfastness, I wonder if at this moment...whether I want to drink some tea to moisten my throat."
Empress Xu suddenly had a feeling of seeing the light of day again. At first she was a little unbelievable, but now... she tried her best to breathe evenly, took another breath, and said, "Come on, get some tea. Besides, I want to To eat."
"Dining..."
The jaws of the people in the temple would drop in shock.
The old **** immediately rejoiced, probably because of excitement, and said in a trembling voice: "What do you want to eat?"
"I remembered the white fungus soup I ate all the time when I was in Beiping City. By the way, let's add another 'Eight Treasures of Birds'."
The entire dormitory has become a mess.
The rice porridge that was originally prepared to be brought up was quickly removed, and several stoves were all fired in the inner dining room.
Empress Xu said at this time: "Your Majesty, the medicine you sent before..."
Zhu Di suddenly came to his senses, and said: "Yes, yes, it's the medicine, and the medicine really worked, unexpectedly...it has such a miraculous effect."
Suddenly, Zhu Di's lips trembled with excitement, and he was a little speechless for a while.
Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaoxu greeted each other quickly, Zhu Gaoxu said: "Mother, the queen mother, auspicious people have their own appearance, this is God's blessing..."
Zhu Di interrupted him at this moment: "Of course there is God's protection, but it is also thanks to Guo Degan."
"Guo Degan?"
Zhu Di stood up excitedly, and said: "Thanks to this son's medicine, he saved the life of a good wife."
Zhu Gaochi said cautiously: "Father, who is this Guo Degan?"
Zhu Di glared at him. At this moment, a big stone fell from his heart. Naturally, he regained his heroic temperament, and couldn't help but want to curse: "Who is Guo Degan? Anyway, he is a hundred times stronger than your brother-in-law. Those children... And you all should learn from him, he has such a great ability at such a young age."
Zhu Gaochi: "..."
He was bored, but fortunately he was used to it.
Zhu Gaoxu saw the needles and said: "What the father said is that the current children are too outrageous."
After Empress Xu washed up, the meals were finally served. In addition to the white fungus soup ordered by Empress Xu, there were also poultry and eight treasures, and other dishes were also served, filling a large table.
Empress Xu only felt that she was very hungry.
In fact, her pneumonia, relying on Zhang Anshi's medicine, did not take effect so quickly, perhaps because her physique is different from that of later generations. After all, later generations have a certain resistance to this medicine, and this medicine was used on Empress Xu. , the effect is obviously stronger.
Of course, there is still some coughing occasionally, but for the former Empress Xu, it is considered to be recovering from a serious illness.
She was really hungry. In front of the father and son, she ate a bowl of tremella soup, a pancake, and half a dish of poultry and eight treasures.
Zhu Di, Zhu Gaochi, and Zhu Gaoxu were just around happily.
At this moment, it seems that I have returned to the time when I was in Beiping. At that time, Zhu Di was not the emperor, and the sons didn't have so much thought.
The whole family sat together, Zhu Di babbled about what he had seen and heard about hunting, while Empress Xu was only responsible for listening with a smile.
Empress Xu said at this time: "Your Majesty... I feel that my body has improved a lot, and my breathing has become unobstructed. This medicine...is really extraordinary. Is the person who gave the medicine called Guo Degan? Your Majesty must reward it well."
Zhu Di beamed with joy, laughed and said: "I have my own measure."
Zhu Gaochi said: "He saved my son's mother, I don't know how grateful I should be."
Zhu Gaoxu said: "My son now wishes he could treat him like a bull or a horse."
Zhu Di laughed and said: "You are a **** talent, but you dare to say anything."
