"Your Majesty, tomorrow is the wedding day, but our Xiao'er still can't wake up!"
I saw a graceful and noble woman, wearing a jeweled phoenix crown on her head and a gold silk harem. Her beautiful face was full of sadness, and she was looking at the man on the bed intently.
Look sideways.
The middle-aged man wearing a five-clawed dragon robe stretched out his heavy hands, gently placed them on the shoulders of the noble woman, and said sincerely: "My mood is the same as that of the queen. I hope day and night that the prince will wake up."
The loving couple in front of them is the Emperor Mingde and the Empress of Daqing. They are a young couple who are in love with each other. They have been in love for more than ten years and are still inseparable.
Emperor Mingde favored the queen, resulting in no other concubines in the harem. The prince was the first and only child of the two.
She was born with a silver spoon in her mouth and was favored by Emperor Mingde and the Empress. It can be said that she is loved by thousands of people.
Last month, the crown prince completed his crowning ceremony.
Emperor Mingde decreed the marriage on the spot.
That gifted marriage was not only unprecedented, but also unprecedented. The crown princess was the standard match, and the two crown prince's concubines were also reasonable. However, Emperor Mingde also gave four crown princes Liangdi.
All the civil and military officials and the prince himself found it incredible. What is even more unbelievable is that the officials of the Ministry of Rites had already calculated the auspicious date and delivered it to Emperor Mingde.
This was obviously premeditated.
As the days passed, the wedding day was approaching in a blink of an eye, but something happened. The prince went out to swim in the lake for no reason and accidentally drowned.
Fortunately, he was rescued ashore in time by the guards of the East Palace. After joint treatment by the imperial doctors, his life was saved. He may not be able to revive because of the prince's fate.
When Emperor Mingde and the Empress heard the news, they felt that the sky was about to fall, and the couple felt unhappy and depressed.
The queen stayed in the East Palace day and night, taking good care of Gu Xiao, hoping that Gu Xiao would wake up soon.
However, tomorrow is the wedding day.
The prince is unconscious and will definitely not be able to attend tomorrow's wedding ceremony. Of course, as long as the prince is still alive, the seven-room wives and concubines who were granted marriage to the prince by Emperor Mingde will eventually marry into the East Palace.
Queen Zhao Yuxi's eyes were bloodshot, she held Gu Xiao's right hand and choked with sobs: "The reason why Xiao'er turned into a half-dead existence was all caused by Gu Hao. Your Majesty, you will never forgive him!"
Gu Hao is the eldest son of Prince Xiang.
King Xiang is the sixth brother of Emperor Mingde.
Emperor Mingde looked troubled and melancholy.
Gu Hao was good at making decisions and taking the prince out of the palace, which violated the taboos in the palace. Moreover, due to his own inability to take care of him, the prince fell into a lake and fell into a coma. All conditions were considered a serious crime and the whole family would be executed.
However.
Emperor Taizong of Daqing said that heirs are the foundation of a family, but the royal family of Daqing is not prosperous. All the children of the royal family cannot be killed unless they are guilty of treason. They can only be warned and punished.
After hearing the news, King Gu Zongbai of Xiang took his son Gu Hao to the palace to plead guilty. Emperor Mingde did not hold King Xiang accountable, but punished Gu Hao to kneel outside the East Palace until Gu Xiao regained consciousness.
Queen Zhao Yuxi saw Emperor Mingde's sad face and knew that he was also in a difficult situation, so she didn't say anything more, but shed tears and silently prayed for Gu Xiao.
Suddenly, there were bursts of strange movements in his hands.
The heartbroken Queen Zhao Yuxi woke up instantly. She spread her hands in disbelief and stared at the palms of her hands. Sure enough, she saw Gu Xiao's fingers moving.
Queen Zhao Yuxi's eyes filled with excitement, and she quickly shouted: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty... look... Xiao'er, he's moved..."
Emperor Mingde suddenly came to his senses and came upon hearing the sound.
Together with Queen Zhao Yuxi, they were observing with all their concentration, and were shocked to see Gu Xiao's fingers moving frequently, and even his eyelashes began to tremble.
Queen Zhao Yuxi felt sad and happy at the same time. She quickly stepped forward and patted Gu Xiao's face gently, calling out: "Xiao'er...Xiao'er...it's the queen mother who is calling you...did you hear it?"
"Xiao'er!" Emperor Mingde looked tense, eager for Gu Xiao to wake up quickly.
Gu Xiao, who fell into a coma, suddenly opened his eyes wide.
The first thing I saw was the Queen and Emperor Mingde.
"Father...Mother..." Gu Xiao shouted feebly.
Emperor Mingde and the Empress wept with joy. The three members of the family hugged each other tightly. They caressed Gu Xiao's face lovingly. Their joy at finding something was beyond words.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, and congratulations to the Queen."
The maids and eunuchs in the East Palace shouted loudly.
The Queen and Emperor Mingde laughed it off.
Emperor Mingde wiped the tears from his eyes and told Gu Xiao: "Good boy, lie down quickly. I will be very satisfied if you can revive your father and mother."
Gu Xiao had just woken up and was indeed very weak.
Queen Zhao Yuxi was convinced. While saying caring words, she took care of Gu Xiao and laid him back on the bed, and covered him with quilts.
The caring heart is obvious.
Gu Xiao had mixed feelings and said guiltily: "My son and minister are unfilial, which makes my father, the emperor and my empress worried."
"Silly boy." Queen Zhao Yuxi felt heartbroken.
At this time, the imperial father-in-law who accompanied Emperor Mingde walked over and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince of Xiang heard that the Crown Prince was awake and wanted to enter the East Palace to apologize to His Royal Highness. You see..."
No matter how low the imperial father-in-law spoke, Gu Xiao still listened to every word.
Gu Hao!
Gu Xiao's deep eyes flashed with a fierce look.
According to the memory of the original owner, it was this Gu Hao who entangled and coaxed Gu Xiao out of the East Palace in every possible way. He said he would take him to the lake to enjoy the scenery, but it was actually a flower boat with many boat prostitutes on it.
Wearing thin gauze clothes, they tried their best to seduce Gu Xiao, but Gu Xiao only played with crickets to tease the dog and had no interest in them at all.
When Gu Hao saw that Gu Xiao didn't take the bait, he drugged the wine. Unexpectedly, Gu Xiao was so drunk that he became extremely drunk after just a few drinks. The boat prostitute wanted to attack Gu Xiao and completely ruin his reputation.
The hull of the clinker boat hit the dark rocks, knocking Gu Xiao directly into the lake. Gu Hao was so frightened that he quickly shouted at the East Palace guards to jump into the lake to save the person. In the end, the person was rescued, but he became a living dead. .
In fact, the Prince of the East Palace died long ago, and the current Gu Xiao comes from another world. During this period of time, the new Gu Xiao has been accepting the memory of the original owner.
Gu Xiao could have woken up a long time ago, but because Queen Zhao Yuxi was with her day and night, Gu Xiao pretended to be here now to prevent his identity from being exposed.
"Let him go!" Emperor Mingde Long Yan was furious.
The imperial father-in-law did not dare to say more and bowed out.
Queen Zhao Yuxi ignored it and watched indifferently.
"Xiao'er, you have a good rest today. Tomorrow is your wedding day. Be sure to show your support to avoid being criticized!" Empress Zhao Yuxi warned her warmly.
Gu Xiao nodded and said: "My son, please listen to your mother."
