King Tong led his troops on an expedition for more than three months, and Emperor Chongde was frightened in Xijing for more than three months. He could not sleep peacefully even a day, either because he was tossing and turning, or he had nightmares when he fell asleep, dreaming about Tong. The king fell on the battlefield covered in blood.
Every time he was awakened by nightmares, Emperor Chongde felt extremely regretful. He regretted agreeing to King Tong and letting him go on an expedition. If something went wrong when he went out, he really didn't know what to do.
The only place where he could calm down was Miss Zhen, the small Buddhist hall in his Queen's palace. The Queen prayed for Prince Tong and the soldiers who fought bravely on the battlefield every day, and she almost never left the door of the Buddhist hall. He also tried to persuade me several times, but it had no effect, so he just ignored it. However, this is good, as it gives him a place where he can be clean. And every time he goes there, he can sleep peacefully for more than an hour.
Although Miss Zhen would laugh at him every time, Emperor Chongde didn't care at all. He knew who was really good to them. Nice words are good, but who knows what evil intentions are hidden in sweet words. Although his queen can't say nice things and has a bad mouth, her heart is true and she really hopes that the two of them can be together for a long time and grow old together.
No matter how ugly she said out of her heart, Emperor Chongde wouldn't care.
The small Buddhist hall was nice, but he didn't age very much. He usually went to clean up after being forced to lose his temper by the quarrels of the courtiers. In more than three months, I only went there two or three times. And these two or three times were when King Tong sent battle reports from the border. He could not only sleep peacefully for a while, but also tell the queen the news about the border, so as not to worry the queen.
However, what made him feel something was not right was the good news sent from the last battle. The first few good news and letters home were all written by Prince Tong himself, but the last good news was written by Prince Tong's deputy general. . He felt strange and sent a secret letter to inquire, but nothing happened and he did not receive any reply.
"Prince Tong was injured in the last battle?"
"According to his own statement, it was due to loss of strength." Shen Cha held his cheek and carefully recalled the words written by Prince Tong, "There must be some external injuries, but they are not serious. They will be fine if they recover. But that battle was For seven whole days, Prince Tong and the five thousand men under him persisted for seven days with a lot of energy. According to themselves, except for the occasional break to drink a little water, they did not eat any dry food. In the end, King Tong held his breath and accepted the avatar of the foreign leader. When he returned to his tent, he collapsed without any warning." She looked at Jin Miaomiao, "This must be the loss of strength. Right? Will he really be unconscious for that long?"
"This is already a very serious situation. If the accompanying doctor had not handled it in time, it would have been possible for him to be unconscious for several years, ten years, or even decades, not to mention being comatose for more than ten days." Jin Miaomiao was very worried. He looked seriously at Shen Haolin, Shen Cha, and then at Song Qiyun, "You three must remember that war can be fought at any time, but you can't be like King Tong and tire yourself out. The sad one is you who love you the most." , the person who loves you the most. Look at Prince Tong, has Emperor Chongde worried about you?"
Shen Haolin, Shen Cha and Song Qiyun looked at each other, looked at Jin Miaomiao's very serious expression, and nodded solemnly.
"Actually, King Tong's condition is not serious, nor is it a real coma. I heard Master say before that he saw a very special patient. He didn't know what he had done before, and he fell to the ground when he got home. The family looked for several doctors, but no cause was found. It was the master who happened to meet him and gave him medicine in time, which saved his life. When the patient met the master, he was already half-conscious. It’s been more than a month.”
"Then this is indeed very serious." Song Qiyun nodded, "In this way, Prince Tong is quite lucky. Although he was unconscious all the way from Border Pass to Xijing, he woke up within a few days after arriving in Xijing. Came over. Emperor Chongde got the exact news from the accompanying doctor. He knew that although it looked dangerous, as long as he took good care of himself, nothing would happen. He finally let go of his worries. Prince Tong returned to Xijing , he probably was in a coma for another seven or eight days before he slowly woke up, and the first person he saw when he opened his eyes was Emperor Chongde, who was lying beside his bed and had fallen asleep from exhaustion. He He said that he was particularly touched, and a warm current surged through his heart. After this separation of life and death, he was sure that no matter what happened in the future, he would never leave this person. In this world, this person is the only one who is sincere and complete. , without any intention of repaying the good things he did to him. After so many years, from the first time they met to now, this person has never changed. "
"Is this written by Prince Tong himself?"
"Yeah!" Song Qiyun nodded, "We didn't expect that Prince Tong would be such a sentimental person, so full of emotions."
"It's a pity that all the abundant emotions were only given to Emperor Chongde." Jin Miaomiao sighed softly, "And the feelings of Emperor Chongde were only given to him. Emperor Chongde did not have a good life in those days. All right?"
"Isn't that right? Although the man is in front of him, Prince Tong has not woken up all day, and he cannot eat or sleep well. And the gang of bastards in the upper court always make trouble for him. This victory was originally Rewards should be based on merit, but since King Tong has not yet woken up, it has to be put on hold for the time being. Shelving means shelving, but the rewards that should be determined still have to be decided, but all those approved by Emperor Chongde were rejected. , most of the courtiers...except for the generals, most of the courtiers thought that the setting was too high. However, it was a bit too high to give so many rewards for just a few victories, and there were still many generals to be promoted. pass."
"Ha!" Jin Miaomiao sneered, "Since ancient times, the emphasis on culture over military affairs has remained unchanged."
"No, what the soldiers gained in exchange for their lives is just a few victories in their opinion." Song Qiyun sighed softly, "Brother Huang is really wise, but all civil servants who make mistakes are sent to the border. Go, let them go to the battlefield and experience the cruelty on the battlefield, and see if they can still say such light and sarcastic words."
"That's right." Jin Miaomiao nodded, "Is Emperor Chongde mad?"
"It's true that he was a little angry, but this was what he expected. Therefore, when he set the reward, he deliberately set it higher than he expected." Shen Cha shook his head helplessly, "So, it was finally settled. The reward is the most ideal one in his mind."
"Prince Tong's reward has also been decided?"
"There is no reward." Shen Cha waved his hand towards her, "Not only is there no reward, but there is also punishment."
"ha?"
"You will be banned from going out for a month. You are not allowed to go out, go to court, or go to school." Song Qiyun then added, "Until the body is completely healed, if several doctors from the Imperial Hospital say there is no problem, then we may The ban is lifted."
"Will he stay in the house honestly?"
"Of course not. Therefore, Emperor Chongde naturally issued an edict to bring Prince Tong into the palace to recuperate."
"The courtiers don't object?"
"I objected, but it was useless." Song Qiyun raised his eyebrows, "The queen also issued an edict to support your majesty's decision and said that this is a family matter and has nothing to do with foreign ministers."
