Chapter 1068 (1/2)

The seventh year of Jingming, spring.

The weather is very abnormal this year.

In March and April, the weather is still cold and hot.

The first two days have been hot enough to put on light summer clothes. In a flash, it is so cold that you have to turn over your winter cotton padded jacket and put it on your body.

There are twelve hours between winter and summer.

The weather is capricious and the sick are in a string.

Medicine shops are busy in Beijing.

The doctors are also very busy.

Because empress dowager Pei is ill.

After being ill for several days, I took the medicine three times a day, but I didn't get better. On the contrary, it became heavier.

Gu Jiu's own prescription didn't work.

Liu Zhao was worried, and his anger spread on the doctor.

What can't cure the Empress Dowager.

Gu Jiu didn't stop him. She knew he was in a hurry.

Regardless of the contradiction between mother and son, Liu Zhao was full of thoughts on how to cure empress dowager Pei's illness when it came to the critical moment.

He can be an unfilial son.

But we can't be ungrateful at this time.

It's not fear of criticism from courtiers and rumors in the world.

But can't pass the conscience.

Liu Yi, the prince of Duanjun, also runs to Weiyang palace every day, serving the soup and medicine in front of Empress Dowager Pei.

The Empress Dowager Pei was tired of drinking medicine and did not want to continue to follow the doctor's advice.

She asked the palace people to help her up and chat with Liu Zhao.

”When will Ruyang leave?”

Empress Dowager Pei is very weak, and her speech is weak. She is ill and lacks of Qi.

Liu Zhao said in a soft voice, ”I have already asked her to postpone the planned trip to the south of the Yangtze River on the first day of next month.”

The Empress Dowager Pei laughed. ”You are worried that there is something wrong with this palace, aren't you?”

”The mother must live a long life.”

The Empress Dowager Pei waved her hand. ”It's just a trick to talk about longevity every day. Who can really live long. Ruyang this child mischievous, how do you also follow nonsense. If she wants to go out to sea, do you really let her go to sea? ”

”Naturally, I can't bear her to go to sea.” Liu Zhao is also a bellyful of words, ”but this girl admits death and belongs to the Lord who will never give up until she reaches her goal. She has been thinking about it all her life if she is not allowed to go out and see. Even if she didn't give up, she could only take care of the sea affairs for her. I hope that after she has satisfied her desire to go to sea, she will lose her interest in the outside world and return to the capital to live in safety. ”

After hearing the speech, Empress Dowager Pei laughed, ”Ruyang's temper is like you. It's the same thing when you were young. You can't pull nine cows back. Therefore, this palace did not like you at that time, because no matter how much the palace advised you, you would not listen. The words of this palace, to you, is just a wind in the wind, is nonsense, is a blind old stubborn. It can be said that God has eyes. Now I'll tell you to taste the heartache of this palace. ”

Liu Zhaomei's eyes twitched, ”did I have that when I was young?”

Empress Dowager Pei said with a smile, ”what were you like when you were young

Liu Zhao pinched his nose. ”I thought when I was young, I wasn't such a jerk.”

Empress Dowager Pei shook her head and laughed at him, ”you are younger than Ruyang. You are more stubborn than Ruyang. Ruyang still listens to other people's opinions, but you can't even listen to other people's good intentions. Why does the palace like the fourth, because he is obedient. Whether it is true obedience or false obedience, at least he is very obedient in front of this palace. ”

Liu Zhao nodded, ”sure enough, no matter who is a parent, they like obedient children. I am no exception. The child is disobedient and full of anger. He wants to hang up the child and beat him. However, even so, I will try my best to keep a bowl of water level, not as eccentric as the Empress Dowager

On hearing this, Empress Dowager Pei said with a smile: ”this palace is a woman, and women are more eccentric. Like is like, do not like is not like. I don't like to have a bowl of water. It's really a test of the self-discipline of this palace. This palace comes from a family of military generals. It's straightforward in speaking and doing things. It doesn't have the good temper and self-restraint of a lady in an official family. ”

Mother and son clearly said serious topics, but the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Both of them were calm and realistic, and there was no sign of quarrel.

”I speak and do things straightforwardly. It seems that this is inherited from the mother.”

It's not like the blood flowing in the palace. But you and Pei family are not intimate at all. Do you dislike your uncle

”I have so many uncles. Which one does the empress mother refer to?”

”Your fifth uncle, of course.”

The fifth uncle is Liu Zhao's brother-in-law, and the brother of one of her mother's compatriots.

Liu Zhao freely admitted, ”I really look down on my fifth uncle. So many uncles, the most useless and incompetent person is him. ”

”I don't like to hear that.” Empress Dowager Pei is not very happy, ”he is no longer useful, but also your uncle.”

”Even if he is my uncle, I can't change the fact that I despise him.”The Empress Dowager Pei heard the speech and sighed, ”you are just too stubborn. If the fourth is here, he will say some nice words to coax the palace. You have never thought of coaxing this palace. ”

”If I talk to coax the empress mother, will she dare to answer?”

Ha ha ha

Empress Dowager Pei laughed and said, ”yes! If you really like the fourth old to say nice words to coax this palace, this palace must doubt whether you are contaminated with something dirty

”I'm the son of heaven. I don't want to get close to anything dirty.” Liu Zhao has a strong voice and also shows his attitude. He is him and he will not change.

Empress Dowager Pei smiles and looks weak.

”This time when I was ill, I really realized that I was old, and I didn't know how many years I could live.”

”Mother, take it easy. The doctor said that when the weather improves, the mother's health will also improve. ”

Empress Dowager Pei nodded, ”I wish I could live a few more years. This palace heard several years ago that he had no hope of becoming a national master of Xiliang with profound Buddhism. When he was together with Huyang, he was called a little monk. Although his private morality was not bad, it did not hinder his practice. I want to see him and ask him to pray for the palace. I wonder if the emperor can meet this small request of the palace

Liu Zhao hesitated.

The Empress Dowager Pei also said: ”I heard that some eminent monks prayed for good fortune, which will bring profound benefits. This is the only requirement of this palace. ”

Liu Zhao thought carefully and asked, ”does the empress mother hate him?”
