Qianqing Palace.
After not seeing each other for many days, Zhu Youtang lost a lot of weight. I don’t know whether it was the effect of the weight loss meal or the reason for being upset.
Zhu Youtang has heavy dark circles under his eyes, probably because he stayed up late recently.
"Common people come to see the emperor." Li Qing bowed his hand.
"Ang, sit down." Zhu Youtang put down the memorial, waved his hand gently, and the waiting eunuch immediately withdrew.
He rubbed his brows and asked, "Do you know why I summoned you to Beijing?"
"Yeah." Li Qing nodded, "But, I'm not sure."
"In the past, the Supreme Emperor was critically ill, and you were able to rejuvenate. How could you not be sure?" Zhu Youtang sneered and shook his head, thinking he was very smart and said, "It's just that if something goes wrong, he will make up for it in advance."
"... One code leads to another. There are thirteen subjects in medicine. Has Your Majesty ever heard of anyone who is proficient in them all?"
Zhu Youtang paused for a moment, then said: "I don't care about that. If you can cure the queen, I will reward you heavily. If you can't cure her... humph."
"Then hum now."
"You..." Zhu Youtang has been very angry during this period, and he immediately became furious: "You are so presumptuous and bold!! Do you really think that I dare not punish you?!"
Li Qing was already immune and said helplessly: "Xinxinxinxin, okay?"
"You..." Zhu Youtang's chest rose and fell violently, and his face turned red with anger. After a while, he said: "Come here, call the queen."
"Yes." The little eunuch heard that the emperor was angry and did not dare to come in. He responded from a distance and hurried away.
Zhu Youtang calmed down the anger in his heart and said in as gentle a voice as possible: "If we can condition the queen's body and allow her to conceive the emperor's heir, we will do anything!"
"Ah…"
"why are you laughing?!!"
I couldn't hold it back... Li Qing saw that he was really anxious. He cleared his throat and asked, "Your Majesty, the common people are confused about something."
"explain!"
"Since ancient times, the emperor's harem...excluding those who are dissolute and extravagant, there are usually more than ten people. Why does the emperor...?"
"They are like that, so I also want to be like that?"
"Not really, I'm just curious." Li Qing smiled, "I wonder if the emperor can help the common people clear up their doubts?"
Zhu Youtang snorted and said, "I just want to give my wife and children perfect husbandly and fatherly love, and I don't want to indulge in female sex."
"Spreading branches and leaves for the clan is also a filial piety!" Li Qing said, "As long as you don't indulge, it will not affect your body, nor will it affect the country and the country."
"I summoned you here to help the queen recuperate her body, not to persuade me to accept my concubine like the officials." Zhu Youtang said dissatisfied, "Also, you are not qualified yet."
Li Qing curled his lips and said no more.
After a while, Queen Zhang came in.
"I, my concubine, see you, Your Majesty."
"Huh? It doesn't have to be like this." Zhu Youtang's face turned from cloudy to clear, and he said with a smile: "Miracle Doctor Li is here, he can cure you."
I didn't say that... Li Qing cupped his hand and said, "Common people see the Queen."
"No gifts, no gifts." Queen Zhang's voice was gentle, as if she was seeing a savior.
Li Qing's medical skills were promoted by the imperial doctors at the Imperial Hospital to the point where they were almost omnipotent. The more they heard about it, the more they naturally became popular among the people, and Li Qing had real achievements.
As a result, Li Qing became Zhu Youtang and Queen Zhang's life-saving straw.
"Diagnose your pulse." Zhu Youtang urged.
Is there anything good to diagnose? She has no obvious symptoms... Li Qing was helpless and began to feel her pulse, squinting, frowning, and drooping eyelids...
Then, a secondary prescription was prescribed.
"Once a day, take medicine after meals." Li Qing said, "Eat less greasy and spicy food, rest more, and move around more."
"When can... be ready?" Queen Zhang asked.
Li Qing smiled bitterly: "Mother, you haven't taken the medicine yet. How can ordinary people know? You have to do it step by step, right?"
After a pause, "After the queen has taken the medicine for a period of time, we can do further treatment based on the condition of the queen's body."
"Okay then." Queen Zhang was a little disappointed, but when she saw that Li Qing looked like it wasn't a big problem, she wasn't so panicked anymore.
It’s really not a big problem!
Whether it was Empress Zhang's body or the history in Li Qing's impression, Hongzhi had an heir, and he was a legitimate son.
Since he is the legitimate son, he naturally comes from Queen Zhang!
He was almost certain that Hongzhi should be the Hongzhi in history, because it would never be the case for another person.
You know, ordinary wealthy families will take concubines, let alone a dignified emperor?
However, thinking of Zhengde, Li Qing couldn't help but have a headache.
That man is... a wild and unrestrained man who loves freedom all his life!
Will it be him in the future?
I hope not!
Li Qing had few impressions of Ming Dynasty emperors, and Zhengde was among them. He didn't know exactly what Zhengde did, but it is said that when Kangxi and Qianlong went to Jiangnan, they imitated Zhengde.
This is an emperor who regards fun as his main job!
Li Qing felt that Zhengde might be smeared, but he thought this man was unreliable, which was probably true.
For a moment, Li Qing had a lot of thoughts in his mind.
"Divine Doctor Li, Li...?"
"Ah, oh," Li Qing regained his composure and said, "Your Majesty, let the common people help you diagnose your pulse."ωＷWω.ＧoＮЬ.οrＧ
Zhu Youtang nodded and asked: "You just lost your mind, but why?"
"The common people are thinking about the second stage of conditioning the queen's body." Li Qing said casually and put his hand on Zhu Youtang's wrist.
Long time no see, Zhu Youtang has lost weight quite effectively and can feel his pulse without using much force.
Zhu Youtang's health improved again, but it was far from what Li Qing expected.
"Your Majesty, have you eaten too many oranges again?" Li Qing asked.
"No, not only did I not eat more, but I also reduced the amount." Zhu Youtang shook his head.
This is wrong... Li Qing frowned and pondered for a moment, "Besides oranges, what other fruits did you eat?"
"Uh...does banana count?" Zhu Youtang felt that banana made him happier.
Li Qing's face turned dark.
"How many do you eat a day?"
Zhu Youtang's face felt hot and he avoided answering. He just asked, "Is there something wrong with me?"
"Yes!" Li Qing said solemnly: "You are not allowed to eat it in the future. It will be very harmful to your body and may even affect the next generation."
Li Qing deliberately made the consequences serious.
This trick was indeed effective. Zhu Youtang was immediately frightened and asked hurriedly:
"Can it be remedied?"
"As long as you don't eat anymore, you will get better gradually. Besides, I can't get pregnant now, uh... Anyway, it's still too late to quit now."
Zhu Youtang sighed, "I understand."
He was very depressed as to why he couldn't eat more of the things he liked.
"Is there a food that is both sweet and harmless to my body?"
Zhu Youtang couldn't bear any bitterness, so he liked to eat something sweet, but...Li Qing wouldn't let him eat it.
"No!" Li Qing said firmly, "As long as it is sweet, whether it is sugar, fruit, snacks, or candied fruits, you cannot eat it."
After a pause, "You can eat some occasionally, but not too much."
It was impossible to quit completely. Zhu Youtang didn't have the perseverance and didn't seem to be someone who could endure hardships. Li Qing could only settle for the next best thing.
Zhu Youtang nodded helplessly, "Queen's side...how long will it take you?"
"No more than a year." Li Qing said.
"So long?" Zhu Youtang was dissatisfied.
Li Qing said calmly: "There are so many people in the Imperial Hospital, can they be sure that they can condition the empress's body within a year?
If it's so easy, why hasn't the empress still... right? "
"Okay! Just one year!" Zhu Youtang sighed and nodded.
He and the Queen have been married for so long, almost a year.
"Now that you're back, let's go to Changle Palace and show it to the Supreme Emperor." Zhu Youtang said.
Damn, you guys are really trying to kill me... Li Qing said depressedly, "Okay."
~
Changle Palace, inner hall.
The servant retreated, leaving the two of them alone.
Zhu Jianshen was very happy about Li Qing's return, "Is everything done in Baoding Mansion?"
"Hey, there are still a lot of things to be busy with." Li Qing rolled his eyes and hummed: "Why don't you take action on this matter in the capital and insist on letting me go?"
Zhu Jianshen said amusedly: "It has been three years since Du Hongzhi, how can I, the Supreme Emperor, still take action?"
"In urgent matters, follow authority."
"No, no, once I take action, even if I can suppress it, the negative impact will be great." Zhu Jianshen said, "My immobility is a kind of shock. Even if they make trouble, there is a limit;
But when I move, the nature changes. How can you not understand this? "
Li Qing smiled bitterly: "Baoding Mansion is also very important. As the first pilot to break the situation, it is almost fully operational now. I won't watch..."
"Baoding Mansion is not far from the capital, so I believe that the Shen family would not dare to mess around," Zhu Jianshen said with a smile, "Besides, with your ability, it only takes a day or two to get back and forth, which is just a bit harder."
Li Qing laughed angrily: "How dare you not treat me as a human being?"
"You are an immortal, you are a god, you are the only one..."
"Stop it, stop it." Li Qing said angrily, "I can't stay too long. Please help me with the emperor's side."
Zhu Jian thought for a while and said, "Let's do this. Come back every once in a while and try to take care of everything."
"To be honest, I also want to hold a grandson, and..." Zhu Jianshen said emotionally, "I am living less and less every day, and I also want someone to talk to. A round trip of three hundred miles is difficult for you... ?"
Li Qing was silent.
"Well, this is you, no matter how different the emperor is," Li Qing agreed.
Zhu Jianshen did a lot, which also made him worry-free. Li Qing always had a high tolerance for him, which was considered a gift to him.
"Oh? So, I am very important in your husband's heart." Zhu Jianshen said happily.
"Young Shamei..." Li Qing said in a muffled voice, "I'm here now, let me give you acupuncture."
"Okay." Zhu Jian was deeply happy, walked to the bed and lay down...

'Master Qing, come quickly, my sword has been robbed. '
Li Hao was very angry.
This sword is his favorite thing. He has worn it for several years and has developed feelings for it. Now that it has been hacked, how can he bear it?
However, this is the gate of the palace.
Although Li Hao was full of indignation, he didn't lose his mind and shouted "My father is Li Hong"!
He is not stupid and will not cheat!
We can only place our hopes on Master Qing.
