Chapter 474 Shen Ruzhou returns to Beijing
The peace talks were successful and the war ended.
Northern City has returned to its former prosperity. The Northern Xiu Banquet was held at the Governor's Mansion to celebrate with all the generals.
Shen Chumu was very happy and drank a lot. When he saw Lieutenant General Lian coming over to offer a toast, he picked up the bowl and wanted to drink again. Shen Ruzhou stepped forward and advised, "Brother, if you drink any more, you will get drunk."
Shen Chumu waved his hand at her and smiled heartlessly: "Don't worry, I didn't drink much, I can't get drunk."
Shen Ruzhou was helpless, knowing that he couldn't be persuaded, so he turned to leave, but suddenly Shen Chumu stretched out his hand and grabbed her.
"Do you think that person is Jun Wu next to Xiao Chenyan?"
Shen Ruzhou didn't turn around and replied directly: "You're still not drunk. Xiao Chenyan has been back in Beijing for a month. Can you still see Jun Wu here?"
As soon as these words came out, Shen Chumu was not convinced, and with a strong hand, he pulled Shen Ruzhou around and pointed in the direction of the door, "Take a closer look, is it Jun Wu?"
It really is!
Shen Ruzhou was surprised, why is he here?
Soon, the maid led Jun Wu to the front.
Jun Wu bowed his hands in greeting and said respectfully: "Miss Shen, I have been ordered by the prince to take you back to the capital to diagnose the emperor's illness."
When he learned that the emperor was ill, Shen Ruzhou did not dare to delay, and immediately said, "I will pack up and leave for Beijing in half an hour."
At this time, Bei Xiuyan, who was sitting in the main seat, looked over.
Shen Ruzhou smiled at him and walked over to say goodbye.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor is sick and has called me back to the capital for treatment. I will take the first step."
Bei Xiuyan's dark eyes glanced at Jun Wu, and the anxious look on his face didn't look like he was faking it.
"Okay, you go first. I will arrange the defense of the northern city and then lead the army back to the court."
"Okay, I'll wait for the prince in the capital." Shen Ruzhou agreed, turned around and went to his residence to pack a few pieces of personal clothing, and then set off with Jun Wu.
Traveling day and night, Shen Ruzhou's body was a little overwhelmed. When he arrived at the palace, his whole body was as weak as if his feet were stepping on cotton.
Arriving at Tai'an Hall, Shen Ruyi looked up and saw Xiao Chenyan standing on the steps.
Wearing a bright yellow prince's court uniform, he had a gentle smile on his face.
Although he knew that he had become the crown prince, he had already been mentally prepared. But seeing it with my own eyes, I still felt the yellow thorns hurt my eyes.
In her previous life, her most painful memory started when Xiao Chenyan became the prince.
He defeated King Yu, took Mu Wanqing to the East Palace, and then killed his father and brother in order to gain military power.
Scenes flashed through my mind, heart-wrenching.
Shen Ruzhou gritted his teeth, held on to his weak body, and walked into the hall.
Emperor Yong'an was lying on the dragon couch, his face pale and his breathing weak. Shen Ruzhou stepped forward and gently opened his eyelids to take a look, then stretched out his slender fingers to press on Emperor Yong'an's pulse.
Emperor Yong'an's condition was more serious than imagined.
The Supreme Emperor on the side saw Shen Ruzhou frowning and asked anxiously: "How is it?"
"The Emperor's shortness of breath attacks his heart, and his heart vessels are damaged. He needs to take several doses of strong medicine to awaken his consciousness, and then stay in bed for several months before he can recover." Shen Ruzhou stood up and truthfully told Emperor Yong'an's condition and diagnosis and treatment methods.
"As long as there is a way to cure it." The Supreme Emperor let out a long sigh. "Ruzhou, you will stay in the palace for the next few days so that you can diagnose and treat the emperor at any time. You will return to the general's residence when your condition is stable."
"Everything is at the discretion of the Supreme Emperor." Shen Ruzhou agreed cooperatively. Emperor Yong'an's symptoms were dangerous, and she really needed to monitor him at all times and adjust the prescription in time according to his condition.
Shen Ruzhou came to the table, thought carefully for a moment, wrote down the prescription, and then carefully explained to the palace maid how to prepare the medicine and cook it.
It had been a long time since Xiao Chenyan had seen Shen Ruzhou looking so gentle and focused, and he couldn't help but feel a little moved.
"The East Palace is closest to my father's palace, and it has just been renovated. You can live there for now. If you need anything, just ask Jun Wu to buy it." Xiao Chenyan's lips curled up, and his words were full of warmth.
Shen Ruzhou didn't appreciate it. The two of them had no relationship now. How could he, Xiao Chenyan, have the nerve to ask him to live in the East Palace? !
Taking a deep breath, Shen Ruzhou suppressed the anger in his heart and said: "The East Palace is the residence of His Royal Highness, and it is against the rules for a court lady to live there. Just ask the palace maid to make a bed in the wing next to it."
"It's rough there. It's inconvenient for you to live there. It's more convenient to live in the East Palace." Xiao Chenyan refused to give up.
He just wants her to live in the East Palace and continue to be his woman.
The Supreme Emperor wanted to bring him together, so he also said: "Ruzhou, if the prince has expressed his wishes, please don't refuse."
Shen Ruzhou didn't want to live under the same roof as Xiao Chenyan, and it was difficult to refute the Emperor's face. When she was in a dilemma, a stinging pain shot out of her lower abdomen. She covered her stomach with both hands and "hissed" in pain.
Seeing this, Xiao Chenyan hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong? Are you sick? Come here and ask the imperial doctor."
Seeing this, the imperial concubine on the side quickly smiled and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, women have to go through this once a month."
As soon as her words came out, everyone realized that Shen Ruzhou had come to Kuishui.
Xiao Chenyan touched his nose awkwardly and was at a loss for a moment.
Here, the imperial concubine has already helped Shen Ruzhou up and asked the Supreme Emperor for instructions, "Why don't you let Miss Shen live with me first? They are both women and it will be easier to take care of her."
The Supreme Emperor nodded, "Okay, let her go and rest with the imperial concubine first."
After receiving the permission, Shen Ruzhou quickly left the hall with the imperial concubine.
In the evening, Xiao Chenyan returned to Prince Wucheng's Mansion and saw Mu Wanrong already waiting at the door, frowning irritably.
Mu Wanrong was already six months pregnant, but she still gritted her teeth and held up her heavy body to salute. "I would like to extend my greetings to His Highness the Crown Prince. Dinner has been prepared, and it is all your favorite dishes."
Xiao Chenyan nodded and walked into the main hall with long legs.
Mu Wanrong was serving soup and dishes diligently and asked casually, "I heard that the renovation of the East Palace has been completed. When does His Highness plan to move there?"
Xiao Chenyan was eating the food, glanced at her from the corner of his eye, and said impatiently: "There have been a lot of things going on in the court recently, and the emperor is ill again. Let's talk about moving the palace in a few days."
Mu Wanrong had long wanted to live in the palace. Nowadays, she is the only famous woman around Xiao Chenyan. If she lives in the East Palace again, she will be a proper 'Crown Princess'.
"Your Highness, you don't need to worry about moving the house. I can just take the steward and the nuns to take care of it." Mu Wanrong pushed Xiao Chenyan's shoulders with both hands and said softly.
"You are in such a hurry to move to the East Palace. Could it be that you have been wronged by living in Prince Wucheng's palace?" Xiao Chenyan directly put down the chopsticks in his hand and asked.
Seeing that she was angry, Mu Wanrong's eyes immediately turned red, and she knelt on the ground to plead guilty: "Your Highness, I didn't mean that. I just saw that you worked too hard every day, and I wanted to share your worries."
Mu Wanrong cried so hard that she took out her handkerchief and wiped her tears while secretly looking at Xiao Chenyan out of the corner of her eye.
Seeing that he was still angry, he held his stomach and pretended to be uncomfortable.
Xiao Chenyan finally relented, stretched out his hand to help Mu Wanrong, and warned: "You don't have to worry about the affairs of the house, just take good care of yourself."
"Come here, send the supplements from Jiangnan to the concubine." Xiao Chenyan ordered the guards.
Mu Wanrong was overjoyed, she put away her tears and knelt down to thank her, "I thank you, Your Highness, the Crown Prince."
At this time, Jun Wu came in from outside. Xiao Chenyan knew that he had something to report, so he said to Mu Wanrong: "You go down first."
Mu Wanrong's eyes flashed with doubts, but her face still said respectfully: "My concubine, please leave."
She held the hand of the maid Xiaoling and walked out of the main hall, giving a signal to the guard Zhang San who was standing outside.
