Chapter 19
19: Zhu Gaoxun took concubines, and Zhu Yuanzhang fed Ma Xiuying elixirs.
Yu Qian and the other two were not dissatisfied with these, but were full of pride.
As an emperor, you must remember not to listen to one side and believe in others. You can trust your ministers but not be too close to them.
In their opinion, Zhu Gaoxun did a good job…….Only such a monarch can have the possibility of ruling the world!
As ministers trusted by Zhu Gaoxun, although they did not know Zhu Gaoxun’s plan, they could clearly see the ambition in Zhu Gaoxun.
It is a great thing for the emperor to be ambitious.
Of course, the reason why Yu Qian and others admire Zhu Gaoxun so much, in addition to Zhu Gaoxun’s methods, is more because Zhu Gaoxun is also very good to his own people.
Yu Qian looked at Wang Wen and Fan Guang, and said solemnly:”You two, your majesty trusts you, we must do things well!”
Wang Wen saluted and said:”As Yu Gong said, I dare not not try my best.”
Fan Guang clasped his fists,”Me too!”…
Zhu Gaoxun handed over some preparations to his subordinates, and then walked to Kunning Palace.
As soon as he entered the palace, he saw the large table of dishes. Zhu Gaoxun looked at Xu Yuewei, who was beautiful and dignified, and frowned,”Didn’t I tell you that the imperial kitchen can prepare the food? Why didn’t you listen?”
Xu Yuewei smiled and came to Zhu Gaoxun, took his arm, and whispered,”Your Majesty likes it, so it’s my duty to do this.””
“You……”
Zhu Gaoxun shook his head, said no more, and sat down at the table with Xu Yuewei.
In fact, what Zhu Gaoxun liked was not some delicacies from land and sea. He liked the feeling of home-cooked meals.
And only Xu Yuewei could create this feeling.
After the meal, the two rested on the bed. Xu Yuewei massaged Zhu Gaoxun while talking,”Your Majesty, you should take a concubine, otherwise how will people in and outside the palace look at me? People in the world must think that I am a jealous woman.”
Zhu Gaoxun grabbed Xu Yuewei’s hand and smiled,”Besides you, don’t I also have Concubine Shu and Concubine Xian?”……What’s the matter? You three sisters can’t resist me?”
Xu Yuewei blushed immediately when she heard the words, like a red apple that made people want to pick it.”Your Majesty is talking nonsense again. I am also considering your majesty.”
“Your Majesty will have to conquer the world in the future, and only a few people like Bian Er are not enough to fill the post.”
“I have my own plans.” Zhu Gaoxun shook his head and said,”Let’s not talk about this. We should take a rest.”
“”Your Majesty!” Xu Yuewei exclaimed,”It’s only the hour of Xu, isn’t it too early?”
“It’s getting late.” Zhu Gaoxun was extremely domineering at this time,”We are an old couple, why should we be shy?……”……
Hongwu Dynasty.
Zhu Yuanzhang returned to the Huagai Palace. He glanced at the eunuchs and palace maids who were on duty inside and outside the palace. There was no shock on their faces.
Apparently, as Zhu Gaoxun said, the time of the Hongwu Dynasty was stagnant during the time he was on the way to the Tiancheng Dynasty.
Zhu Yuanzhang touched his chest and found that the elixir given by Zhu Gaoxun was still there, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Then the eunuchs and palace maids in the Huagai Palace saw the emperor stand up and walk out of the palace without saying a word.
What happened to the emperor?
The eunuchs and palace maids looked at each other, but no matter how curious they were, they could only follow Zhu Yuanzhang’s pace.
Not long after, Zhu Yuanzhang came to Kunning Palace, stopped the eunuch who wanted to report, and walked straight into the palace.
After entering the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang found that Zhu Biao was also there, waiting beside Ma Xiuying.
“Father.” Zhu Biao saw Zhu Yuanzhang’s bloodshot eyes and said distressedly,”You should also take care of your health…….”
“Biao’er, get out of the way. We know our own bodies.”
Zhu Yuanzhang pushed Zhu Biao away, gently helped Ma Xiuying up, took out the pill from his arms, and was about to feed her, but was stopped by Zhu Biao.
“”Father!” Zhu Biao was very anxious, but was afraid of disturbing Ma Xiuying, so his voice was very suppressed,”Medicine is three-point poison, don’t take it carelessly!”
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Biao and didn’t explain too much,”Shut up, this is a pill, are you the kind of person who does things recklessly? Just watch.”
While speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang had already put the pill into Ma Xiuying’s mouth and helped her swallow it.
Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang say that he had a pill in his hand, Zhu Biao became even more anxious, but the pill had already been taken, and no matter how much he tried to stop it, it would be useless.
Zhu Biao stared at Ma Xiuying, fearing that this pill was some weird formula and that something big would go wrong in the end…….
Similarly, Zhu Yuanzhang’s heart was in his throat, staring at Ma Xiuying.
Although Zhu Gaoxun said that his elixir could make Ma Xiuying better, and Zhu Yuanzhang believed in his ability, he was still very nervous when it came to his beloved sister Ma.
From the moment Ma Xiuying took the elixir, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that time passed very slowly.
A few short moments seemed like several hours.
Why is it not working yet! ?
Zhu Yuanzhang began to get anxious. Isn’t Gaoxun an immortal? The effect of an immortal’s method should be much faster than that of ordinary medicine…….
I don’t know how much time has passed, Zhu Yuanzhang finally felt the movement of the person in his arms
“Sister!” Zhu Yuanzhang was very excited, but afraid of disturbing Ma Xiuying, he spoke in a hurry and softly,”How do you feel?”
“Chongba……”
Ma Xiuying opened her eyes hazily. In a state of half-sleep and half-wakefulness, she felt that the pain that had always accompanied her was actually slowly fading away.
A faint voice in her ear told her that it was like some kind of elixir.
After a while, the pain completely disappeared from Ma Xiuying’s body, and she felt a sense of lightness all over her body.
Ma Xiuying opened her eyes and was about to speak, but she felt a violent surge in her throat.
Puff!
Blood gushed out of Ma Xiuying’s mouth, and the brocade was instantly stained with blood.
“Sister!!!”
How could this happen?
Zhu Yuanzhang was very anxious,”Gao Xun can’t possibly harm us!……”
