Soon, Zhu Qiyu came to Wenhua Hall with a pale face.
"Your Majesty, Zhu Qiyu, pays homage to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor!"
Zhu Qiyu knelt down and saluted. Although he and Zhu Qizhen were brothers, one was the emperor and the other was the vassal king, and there was a distinction between them.
"Qi Yu, you finally woke up, get up quickly! You've been unconscious for three days, and I'm worried about you."
Zhu Qizhen came down from the high platform and helped Zhu Qiyu up personally.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for making Your Majesty worried."
After Zhu Qiyu thanked him, he stood up with the help of Zhu Qizhen, looking like a brother who is kind and filial to his younger brother.
"Qi Yu, why don't you take a rest?
I originally wanted to entrust you with something, but before you woke up, I suppressed it for the time being. "
Zhu Qizhen looked at the pale Zhu Qiyu with a concerned expression and a warm tone.
"Back to Your Majesty, I am afraid that Your Majesty will be worried, so after waking up and taking a short rest, I came to pay your respects to Your Majesty."
Zhu Qiyu said that I was afraid that you would be worried, so he came to the palace not long after waking up to tell you that he was safe.
"Qi Yu, just ask someone in the mansion to report it to me. Why do you have to go there yourself?
You just woke up, you need more rest. "
Zhu Qizhen continued to care. Zhu Qiyu didn't need to make a special trip. He could just ask the villain to report to the palace.
Ahem, cough, cough
"Your Majesty, I am seriously ill. I fainted a few days ago. Now that I wake up, I am still dizzy and have a splitting headache.
Please allow your Majesty to go to the south to find a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters to recuperate for a period of time.
If the illness can be cured, please ask the court to arrange for the minister to join the feudal clan as soon as possible.
If he cannot recover from his illness, please ask the court to grant him a geomantic treasure land for burial. "
Zhu Qiyu took the opportunity to take out the memorial book from his sleeve, knelt on the ground, and raised the memorial book with his hands above his head.
Zhu Qiyu estimated that if he didn't tell him, Zhu Qizhen would tell him about staying in the capital.
But we can't let Zhu Qizhen talk about this, because the imperial edict has been drafted and is just waiting to be read out.
As long as the imperial edict is not read, it can be revoked.
"Qi Yu, why is this happening? I will ask the imperial doctor to diagnose you right away!"
Zhu Qizhen picked up the memorial and opened it, frowning. Is Zhu Qiyu's illness so serious?
According to the memorial, Zhu Qiyu was already dead.
Before, he had asked the imperial physician to visit Prince Xin's Mansion many times, and the imperial physician said that the problem was not serious.
"Your Majesty, no need. The imperial doctor cannot diagnose my illness. I have also sought out famous doctors in the capital before, but to no avail.
I have been ill for such a long time and I am not getting better. I am afraid that I don’t have much time left!
I want to see the magnificent mountains and rivers of the Ming Dynasty, and then spend the rest of my life quietly among the mountains and rivers.
Please allow your majesty! "
Zhu Qiyu's words were very painful and sad, and his bloodless face made Zhu Qizhen feel heartbroken.
"Qi Yu, don't scare me. If you have any bad intentions, how can I explain to the late emperor?!"
No matter how much he dislikes Zhu Qiyu, Zhu Qiyu is still his younger brother, and the late emperor only has two sons: him and Zhu Qiyu.
Zhu Qiyu was so ill that he would not be able to explain anything to the late emperor if something happened to him.
As an elder brother, he has the obligation to take good care of his younger brother, and as the emperor, he has the obligation to take good care of the royal descendants.
"Brother, there is no need to be sad. This is my fate. Brother Huang has sent imperial doctors to see me many times, and he also takes good care of me on weekdays.
Father Huangquan Xia knows well, and he will definitely not blame the emperor's brother. "
Zhu Qiyu knew that what Zhu Qizhen wanted was to live up to his expectations, so Zhu Qiyu gave him a pass. You have done your best.
"Qi Yu, you should know that I am going to conquer Kovala soon, and there are many things going on.
I wanted you to stay in the capital and be assisted by Prince Consort Jiao Jing.
But you are already so ill, and I can't add any more pressure to you.
I'm sure. You can ask the Queen Mother and the Cabinet to handle the specific matters. "
Zhu Qizhen thought for a long time and finally decided to allow Zhu Qiyu to join the feudal clan.
Zhu Qiyu is already so ill, and he is afraid that his time is running out, and it would be unkind for him to refuse again.
However, he has no time to deal with specific matters. He will leave it to his mother and the cabinet to handle.
Zhu Qiyu's vassal affairs were a small matter, and conquering Wala was a big deal, which could also reverse his predicament in one fell swoop.
"Thank you for your permission, Your Majesty. I feel deeply guilty for not being able to help the Emperor's brother to take care of his worries!
If I go, please ask your royal brother to help me take care of my mother and concubine! "
Zhu Qiyu thanked him and asked Zhu Qizhen to take care of his mother, Princess Wu.
"Where the concubine is, Qi Yu, don't worry, I will take care of you!"
Concubine Wu was the late emperor's concubine and Zhu Qiyu's biological mother. It was only natural for Zhu Qiyu to care about her.
As the emperor, Zhu Qizhen had the responsibility to take good care of the late emperor's concubines.
"I wish your majesty a triumphant return! I retire!"
Zhu Qiyu thanked him again and wished Zhu Qizhen a victorious return.
Although Zhu Qizhen is destined to worship, he will not come back after a year.
Back at the palace, Zhu Qiyu asked Cheng Jing to write two more memorials.
"Mr. Cheng, write two more memorials, one for the Queen Mother when she enters the palace tomorrow, and one for the cabinet.
The emperor has approved the orphan, but the emperor is about to go on an expedition and has no time to deal with this matter.
Let Gu go to the Queen Mother and the Cabinet to handle it! "
Cheng Jing was sad. If King Xi died, would he have a good death?
Even the emperor agreed, indicating that His Highness was seriously ill and the palace doctors could not do anything.
After Cheng Jing finished writing, he showed the memorial to Zhu Qiyu: "Mr. Cheng, could you please go to the cabinet and hand over the memorial to the cabinet.
You must tell the cabinet that this matter has been reported to the emperor, and the emperor has approved it!
I stopped by the palace to inform you that I will go to Renshou Palace tomorrow to pay my respects to the Queen Mother. "
Zhu Qiyu's illness is not that serious, but he has to act like he is not going to die soon.
Only in this way can he leave the capital smoothly. Anyway, he is a waste in the eyes of Queen Mother Sun.
A good-for-nothing who was about to die, she was so happy that Zhu Qiyu disappeared before her eyes.
Almost everyone in the restaurant and the mansion is here.
Zhu Qiyu came coughing all the way with the help of his servants.
"I have met His Highness! Your Highness is safe!"
Everyone knelt down to salute and say hello.
Ahem
"Get up and have a feast!"
Zhu Qiyu sat down at the main seat and began to drink porridge.
The vegetables and rice were very rich, but he couldn't eat them, and he didn't even touch the light ones.
After dinner, Zhu Qiyu chatted with his wife, concubines, and son.
The daughter was born to the princess Wang Zhaodi, and the son was born to the second concubine Hang Huiru, that is, Zhu Jianji, the son of the original owner.
the next morning
With Cheng Jing's support, Zhu Qiyu came to Renshou Palace.
"Your Majesty Zhu Qiyu pays homage to the Queen Mother! May the Queen Mother be safe!"
Zhu Qiyu knelt down and saluted.
After he finished the ceremony, Queen Mother Sun spoke first.
"Is Prince Xi feeling better? Why don't you take a good rest at home?
The Ai family has been worried to death these days. I heard that you suddenly fell down and was in a coma for three days and three nights.
If you have bad intentions, how can the Ai family explain to the late emperor? "
Ahem
Zhu Qiyu shook his head when he heard this: "I am unfilial, which makes the Queen Mother worried.
Although I regained consciousness, I kept coughing, had a splitting headache, and was in unbearable pain.
Today, I am anxious to enter the palace. Firstly, I am here to pay my respects to the Queen Mother. Secondly, I am asking the Queen Mother to ask for a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters in the south where I can rest for the rest of my life.
I met with the emperor yesterday. The emperor took pity on me and approved it.
However, the emperor was about to go on an expedition and had no time to deal with the matter, so he asked the minister to deal with the matter with the Queen Mother and the cabinet. "
Zhu Qiyu took out the memorial from his sleeve, knelt down and saluted again, holding the memorial in both hands.
During the process of kneeling on the ground, Zhu Qiyu's body was trembling.
After hearing this, Mrs. Sun asked the palace maid to take the memorial and read it.
She wanted to see if Zhu Qiyu was faking it.
Cough, cough, cough, Zhu Qiyu, who was kneeling on the ground, coughed from time to time.
After reading the memorial slowly, Empress Dowager Sun saw that Zhu Qiyu didn't look like he was pretending, so she asked the palace maid to help him up, and ordered the palace maid to get a soft cushion for Zhu Qiyu to sit down.
"King Tan, you can rest in the capital if you want. Why do you have to go all the way to the south?
If you feel that the palace is boring, the Ai family can just give you a nice garden. "
Queen Mother Sun looked concerned. She was very happy that Zhu Qiyu wanted to go south.
This trash was an eyesore in the capital, but she still wanted to keep him.
Ahem
When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he was sad and earnest: "The Queen Mother is kind, I have asked the imperial doctor and the famous doctors in the capital to see me, but there is not much hope for my health.
I went to the south to recuperate for the rest of my life because I wanted to see the magnificent mountains and rivers of the Ming Dynasty before I died.
Chen has lived in the palace since he was a child and has always been in poor health. He has never seen the magnificent mountains and rivers of the Ming Dynasty.
In addition, I would like to say goodbye to my mother and concubine, and I would like to ask the Queen Mother for permission. "
Empress Dowager Sun pondered, Zhu Qiyu had been in poor health since he was a child, and he had been seeing the imperial doctor and famous doctors in the capital recently.
Unexpectedly, after falling over, his body collapsed immediately.
Before, Zhu Qiyu didn't cough and still spoke very forcefully.
Now Zhu Qiyu is weak, knowing that he is not going to die soon, and his tone is full of sadness.
When Empress Dowager Sun was in trouble, she wished that Zhu Qiyu could get away as far as he could and die immediately.
But Zhu Qiyu was the emperor's only younger brother and the only son of the late emperor.
Even if she doesn't like it, she still has to take into account the dignity of the royal family and the Ming Dynasty's tradition of treating the vassal king kindly.
"King Tan, the south is so big, where do you want to go?"
In order to show her kindness, Empress Dowager Sun generously let Zhu Qiyu choose a place.
Ahem
When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he quickly thanked him: "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your permission. It can be done in Jiangsu, Zhejiang or South Zhili."
Zhu Qiyu did not mention the specific place, only Jiangsu, Zhejiang or Southern Zhili.
He is already a dying person, so it doesn’t matter where he is.
"Then let's go to Huai'an. It's only across a lake from the Tomb of the Ming Dynasty, and there are mountains and water.
Bathed in the gaze of their ancestors, the Aijia believed that things would get better if King Tan was close by.
The Ai family wishes the blessings of their ancestors and hopes that King Xi can recover from his illness. "
Queen Mother Sun thought for a long time and decided to let Zhu Qiyu go to Huai'an in southern Zhili.
The ancestral mausoleum of the old Zhu family is located on the bank of Hongze Lake in Xuyi County, below Fengyang Prefecture, next to Huai'an Prefecture, and is only separated from Huai'an by a lake.
The ancestors of the Ming Dynasty could always watch Zhu Qiyu across Hongze Lake and protect Zhu Qiyu, a waste.
Asking ancestors to bless Zhu Qiyu can show her generosity and kindness.
"Thank you Queen Mother for your permission!"
Zhu Qiyu knelt down and thanked him again.
After receiving the Queen Mother's decree, Zhu Qiyu said goodbye to Queen Mother Sun and went to find Princess Wu.
