Chapter 213 The Duke is back
The Chinese New Year is just a few days away, and the fifth prince has led his people to rebel.
Heavy snow covered the imperial city, and the fifth prince was pointed at the door by the prince's sword. Lu Mingchen's face was cold, "Press down."
The fifth prince refused to accept and tried to struggle, but his arm was twisted violently and taken away.
Lu Mingchen went to see his father with a slight dejection. They all said that the royal family had no true feelings, but...
But even if he, the elder brother, doesn't care, how can his father, the father, not care about what happened today?
Sure enough, when the emperor saw Lu Mingchen, he opened his mouth and coughed up blood, "Cough cough cough..." He seemed to be coughing out his lungs, and it took him a long time to say a complete sentence, "Where is that traitor? "
"We've already been taken down."
"It is not a pity to die, cough cough cough..." After the emperor said this, he coughed loudly again, and then spit out a large mouthful of blood.
"Father," Lu Mingchen hurriedly stepped forward, "quickly call the imperial physician."
The eunuch hurriedly summoned the imperial doctor. Lu Mingchen hugged the emperor, and the emperor held his hand tightly. The emperor held his hand tightly and spoke intermittently, "Pass the edict, I... I have already written it. When the emperor said this, he looked at the prince with some relief, "You...you will inherit my throne, I...I can rest assured."
After he finished speaking, he paused and breathed hard.
After a while, he finally managed to say, "Be kind... treat them kindly."
The emperor did not say who he should be kind to, because he fell into a coma after saying "treat them kindly".
Although the doctors tried their best to save him, he never woke up.
He is not dead at all, he has been kept alive with good decoction.
Although his breathing was weak, he did not die after all.
The New Year is coming, and unless the emperor dies suddenly, the doctors at the imperial hospital will have to find ways to help the emperor breathe.
After all, the death of the emperor was a national mourning. Within a month of national mourning, the whole country had to wear sackcloth and mourn, and no celebration could be seen.
It's the New Year, and it's really inappropriate for the whole country to wear sackcloth and show mourning.
So the emperor is not dead.
With only a weak breath left, the prince continued to supervise the country and handle court affairs.
On the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, the snow stopped, thick snow accumulated in areas that could not be cleared, and the air was extremely cold.
Jiang Fu felt extremely cold even when she reached out with one hand.
The cold air made her feel even more nervous.
It’s already the 29th of the New Year, and tomorrow will be the 30th of the New Year.
She didn't know if Zhao Yuan could come back in time to celebrate the New Year.
New Year's Eve may be engraved in everyone's bones. It is an extremely important day for reunion.
So Jiang Fu hoped that Zhao Yuan could come back for the New Year.
There was no news in the morning, so Jiang Fu was not in a hurry. After all, the snow had just stopped and the road was still freezing, making it difficult to walk.
You can't walk much in the morning.
But when three o'clock passed in the afternoon, there was still no movement. Jiang Fu couldn't suppress the anxiety in her heart. She asked someone to look at the city gate, but she didn't see anything.
Jiang Fu comforted herself, "I may have to come back tomorrow."
Mrs. Chen knew that she was definitely looking forward to Zhao Yuan coming back for the New Year, but no one could guarantee this, so Mrs. Chen could only go to the main courtyard to have dinner with her, so that she would not feel so lonely, and comfort her by the way, "It's okay. Our family will have two meals for New Year's Eve this year." Mrs. Chen looked at her belly as she said this. "You are pregnant with two children, so our government should have two meals."
Jiang Fu knew that this was the old lady trying to comfort her. No matter what, their family would be able to enjoy the reunion dinner.
The old lady is so old, and she has to comfort her in turn. Jiang Fu will naturally not be pretentious. She smiled and nodded, "Well, if the Duke of Guo hasn't come back tomorrow, Brother Lin and I will accompany my mother and we will celebrate the New Year first. Wait. When the Duke comes back, our family will have a reunion dinner."
With the old lady's company and guidance, Jiang Fu's heart really opened up a lot. After dinner, she washed up and was ready to rest.
Now she was sleeping alone again.
Zhao Lin couldn't stay with her while lying in bed. Instead, she would toss and turn at night and affect the child's rest. Especially when she got up early in the morning, there would be some movement in the house.
Moreover, if the child sleeps in her room, she cannot take care of it such as peeing at night, and the maid's coming and going will inevitably disturb her sleep.
So Zhao Lin stayed with her for a few days, but when it had no effect, he returned to his room.
At night, Jiang Fudu lay down on the bed, and Xiao Yuan suddenly ran in, shouting excitedly, "Madam, madam, country..." Xiao Yuan pointed outside, running so hard that her breathing was unstable. , paused before saying completely, "The Duke is back."
Hearing this, Jiang Fu, who was already lying down in her underwear, immediately got up from the bed.
Seeing that she was getting up too quickly, Xiao Yuan hurried forward and said, "Madam, madam, please slow down and watch your stomach."
Jiang Fu shook her head and said it was okay, "Where is the Duke?"
"The person who just came to deliver the message said that he has arrived at the door of the house." Xiao Yuan said.
Jiang Fu quickly said, "Then please help me get dressed."
"Yes!"
Xiao Yuan took the clothes and quickly helped Jiang Fu put them on, and put a cloak on Jiang Fu. Jiang Fu ran out without even bothering to comb her hair.
Xiao Yuan hurriedly followed behind, "Madam, it's dark and the road is slippery, you can't run like this." Xiao Yuan is much more stable now than before.
After all, it was suspected that there were two children in her belly. Jiang Fu did not dare to be reckless. After Xiao Yuan's reminder, she quickly adjusted her speed. Although the pace was still very fast, fortunately, he didn't look at his feet anymore and kept rushing out.
But when he hurriedly walked outside the house, before he reached the threshold, he saw a man outside the door, wearing black armor, and he was about to step across the threshold.
When he saw her, his foot froze there, and he didn't put it down or put it back for a while.
Jiang Fu was originally very anxious, but when she saw the person standing at the threshold clearly, she stood there dumbfounded.
She had never thought that a similar scene would happen to her.
She felt that they were all staged in vulgar TV series.
It's just a little bit of affection between a man and a woman. How come you can still manipulate people?
Her parents didn't even get a hold of her!
And it turns out that it can really manipulate people.
In the past, Zhao Yuan was at home every day. She didn't feel anything when he was in front of her. She only felt that the kiss between the two of them was held high. It was purely because she was happy to accompany others and act out with her subordinates in front of the boss. Like, strive to perform better and give yourself a good impression.
Then the boss was in a good mood and raised his salary with a wave of his hand.
But in the past two months, without Zhao Yuan around, she realized that she was actually lying to herself.
If she really just wanted to "raise her salary," wouldn't it be more reliable for her to work hard to develop her career?
