The Empress Dowager is not in good health.

The only legitimate grandson of the Zhou family was about to lose his guard. How could this Empress Dowager withstand such a big blow?

Isn’t this equivalent to having the Zhou family lose their descendants?

The Empress Dowager Zhou, the Empress Dowager, was originally a palace maid, and was born slightly cold. Because of this, although the Zhou family was one person and the chickens and dogs were ascending to heaven, brothers like Zhou Qinzheng, to be honest, are not much different from the brothers Shouning Hou and Jianchang Bo. They have not received much education since childhood, and their life has risen and fallen too much. From an ordinary family, they suddenly became royal relatives of the Ming Dynasty. This person's IQ obviously did not make much progress.

Fang Jifan despised him. This person and the Zhang brothers clearly lowered the average IQ of the Duke of the Ming Dynasty. No wonder Fang Jifan's reputation was a bit bad a few days ago, because it was all caused by such scum.

Emperor Hongzhi was so angry that he almost vomited blood. But he pointed at Zhou Qinzheng and had nothing to say.

Zhou Qin said just like a bereaved mother: "Your Majesty, La'er... Old minister, just such a grandson. If it is gone, the Zhou family will be defeated. The Zhou family has always been a poor family. Your Majesty..."

Emperor Hongzhi had a dark face.

At this time, you are still grandson and grandson, yelling here. If the Empress Dowager wakes up, can you bear it?

Zhou Qinzheng cried, "What's more, your Majesty, if something really happened to me, I'm afraid the Empress can't stand it."

Emperor Hongzhi's body shook.

If there is really bad news, I want the emperor and grandmother to wake up, I am afraid...

Emperor Hongzhi felt angina pectoris, holding his heart, his face was difficult, but he kept taking deep breaths and said calmly: "I understand, you can take your leave first."

Zhou Qinzheng was still crying and retreating.

Emperor Hongzhi seemed to be fine on the surface. Seeing Zhu Houzhao and Zhu Xiurong's eyes were filled with tears, especially Zhu Xiurong, who cried like pear blossoms and rain, Emperor Hongzhi said in a stern manner: "Your great-grandmother, she... she is in a bad condition, so you don't have to be too sad. She loves you the most. You have been here these days and are by her side. If she wakes up, you have to go to serve quickly. Do you know?"

"Yes, my son obeys the order." The two spoke in unison.

Zhu Houzhao wiped her tears and cried: "Great-grandmother used to treat her son-in-law the best..."

I wanted to say something, but I was sobbing and couldn't speak.

Emperor Hongzhi had a calm face and immediately said to Xiao Jing: "Parent Xiao."

Xiao Jingru looked like he was losing his parents, so he hurriedly lowered his head and stepped forward: "What are your instructions?"

Emperor Hongzhi took a deep breath and still showed the emperor's majesty. He said word by word: "I ordered the British Duke Zhang Mao to join the Minister of War and the Cabinet's scholars to discuss it, let's see if there is any feasible way to save people. But..."

He paused and his voice lowered a little: "If hundreds or thousands of soldiers were sacrificed because of Zhou La, the Ming Dynasty gave the Tatars an opportunity to take advantage of, I will not agree. Let them try every possible way to save people, as long as they are not harmful to the country, and everything else can be tried."

Xiao Jing thought to himself, how can I save it at this point? It is impossible to save it at all. The place where the accident happened was outside the pass. As for peace talks... it is absolutely impossible. The Ming Dynasty could never reach any peace talks with the Tatars, especially in this situation.

Thinking back to the beginning, Emperor Yingzong was captured by the Oirats, and the Ming Dynasty was not coerced, but resolutely fought back, let alone Zhou La.

He sighed, raised his eyes, and looked at Emperor Hongzhi. He looked at Emperor Hongzhi who grew up since childhood. He knew very well that the deep feelings between Emperor Hongzhi and Empress Dowager Zhou could understand Emperor Hongzhi. Even the Emperor Ming Emperor would never ignore any sacrifice because of Zhou La. His Majesty made this decision... It must be a knife.

Xiao Jing's eyes turned red, he stammered and wanted to say something.

Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand and looked tired: "You go."

Xiao Jing choked and said, "Your Majesty must also take care of the dragon's body."

Emperor Hongzhi only nodded slightly, without responding.

His eyes fell on Fang Jifan: "Fang Qing family, come up."

Fang Jifan stepped forward.

Emperor Hongzhi glanced at him deeply: "Can you treat this disease?"

Fang Jifan shook his head.

Emperor Hongzhi nodded: "Indeed, you only treat brain diseases, and you are here, so you have to take care of it. The prince... is a person of true nature. You can stare at me for a while, I want to be quiet."

Fang Jifan said: "I obey the order."

Emperor Hongzhi stood up and walked out of the bedroom step by step.

Zhu Houzhao clenched her fists, gritted her teeth, and whispered something like the Tatars' unilateral sympathy.

Fang Jifan followed the order to take care of Zhu Houzhao and not let him do stupid things, but Fang Jifan's eyes sat on Zhu Xiurong who was sitting in the corner. Seeing that Zhu Xiurong was crying hard, he felt extremely distressed, so he took out the veil from his sleeve, stepped forward as if nothing had happened, and handed the veil to Zhu Xiurong.

Zhu Xiurong didn't answer, her slender waist sagged slightly, her shoulders trembled slightly, she covered her face, and tears flowed silently along her fingers.

Fang Jifan whispered: "The Empress Dowager's illness will be cured."

Zhu Xiurong bit his lip and shook his head.

Fang Jifan said: "Heart disease still needs to be treated with medicine. As long as Zhou La comes back and the Empress Dowager is happy to know that he is here, she smiles happily and will be cured."

Zhu Xiurong's eyes were dim and shook her head again: "He won't come back."

"Who said no?" Fang Jifan thought about it. He couldn't stand Zhu Xiurong's crying. Somehow, he made himself want to cry. He thought he was strong. When Xu Jing went into the sea, he had no news for two years. He didn't cry like such a close and beloved disciple. Ouyang Zhi was in Jinzhou, and his life and death were uncertain, and he never cried, but today, he was very sad. Fang Jifan thought about it and said, "I will bring Zhou La back."

"You..." Zhu Xiurong raised his pretty face, and his beautiful eyes with tears seemed to be filled with surprise. She seemed to think that Fang Jifan was a person who always had a way, but immediately, the surprise flashed and she seemed to think of something, and the flower face looked even more sad, and immediately said in an orderly tone: "I don't allow you to go!"

“…”

Fang Jifan didn't say anything and didn't know how to answer.

A woman's heart is really hard to guess.

I deserve to be a human being without a girlfriend for two lives.

Fang Jifan obediently walked to the other side, but was pulled by Zhu Houzhao and pulled to the corner: "Lao Fang, do you have any solutions?"

Zhu Houzhao looked at Fang Jifan with anticipation. In his heart, Fang Jifan was a person who could not defeat anything.

Fang Jifan thought to himself, you just called me lazy, why are you calling me?

After thinking about it, Fang Jifan said, "Maybe there is one?"

"Is that true?" Zhu Houzhao wiped her tears: "You said."

Fang Jifan thought for a while: "It's a bit dangerous."

"It's okay, I can go there, but you won't be affected." Zhu Houzhao said.

Fang Jifan shook his head: "No, I can only go, but Your Highness the Princess doesn't allow me to go."

"..." Zhu Houzhao sighed: "If you are in danger, why are you always so afraid of death?"

Fang Jifan patiently explained: "This is called keeping a useful body and seeking blessings for the people and the country."

Zhu Houzhao ignored Fang Jifan and hid aside.

…………

Emperor Hongzhi sat alone in the side hall, where there were only whale oil candle fire, and the huge side hall, he was the only one. Until then, his tears were shed, like a child, wiping tears, and tears still shed.

In his mind, the memories of the past swayed in his mind like a lantern. He could still remember that the lonely and helpless child was led to Renshou Palace. His steps were still very staggering. Then, in the bedroom of Renshou Palace, he saw the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager was still young at that time. When he saw him, tears flashed in his eyes. Emperor Hongzhi still remembered that he raised his face curiously and looked at the woman who claimed to be his grandmother. She hugged herself, and then, the grandmother stood up and looked at the one who sent him to Emperor Hongzhi.

The eunuch said coldly: If the emperor does not recognize this child, the Ai family recognizes it, the emperor does not recognize it, and the Ai family does not recognize the emperor's son. He dislikes the child who was born by the palace maid. Then you go back and tell him that the Ai family is also a palace maid. Zhu Jianshen also comes from the palace maid's belly. Starting from today, this child is in Renshou Palace. Whoever wants to make any ideas will come to Ai family. Fortunately, the Ai family is still alive, but as long as there is still a breath, if this child is missing a hair, some people, even if the emperor comes in person, they will not be able to protect her.

These words were still in Emperor Hongzhi's mind. He thought at that time, the emperor's grandmother was really harsh in speaking.

Yes, when the emperor and grandmother were young, she was strict with him and told him again and again that you should not imitate your father, and that you should be a person who has accomplished.

She asked someone to teach Emperor Hongzhi's study and checked Emperor Hongzhi's homework every day...

But now... the once stern grandmother has...

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

Outside, the eunuch's soft call came.

Emperor Hongzhi sniffed, wiped the tears, took a deep breath, and slowly said: "Come in."

The eunuch quietly opened a corner of the door and came in: "Your Majesty, Fang Jifan, please leave."

Emperor Hongzhi said lightly: "Why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

The eunuch was silent for a moment: "Xin Jianbo said that his girl couldn't find him, so she was afraid she would cry."

“…”

Emperor Hongzhi was silent for a long time and sighed quietly: "Let him leave the palace, young man..."

I wanted to say something, but I didn't continue saying it: "When I left the palace, I gave it to her sister."

"Sister obeys the order."

Emperor Hongzhi had also stood up, and he returned to calmness. He walked out of the side hall slowly. Outside, the sky was already dark, and the rays of the rays of the Forbidden City shone brightly with the glazed tiles of the Forbidden City!

Countless imperial doctors, eunuchs, and palace maids bowed down when they saw His Majesty come out.

Emperor Hongzhi stood with his hands behind his back, with a blue face: "Issued an order, my grandmother is ill, and the court will discuss it for several days after that, and it will be cancelled."
