At the palace banquet on the first day of the New Year, Emperor Tianwu drank until he was in a daze. Even after the banquet was over and everyone had left, he still sat there and continued to drink. He drank from that night until the next morning. Zhang Yuan had already sat on the floor and slept. When he woke up, the old emperor was still there drinking!
Zhang Yuan was scared out of his wits and jumped up. He grabbed the wine cup in Tianwu's hand and said loudly, "Didn't you say you weren't drinking anymore? Didn't you say you were just going to sit here for a while to sober up? So I only took a short nap, and you've been drinking here all night? "
Emperor Tianwu wasn't too drunk. He drank a lot, but he also stretched out for a long time. Combining the time and amount of alcohol, his condition seemed to be okay. He rolled his eyes at Zhang Yuan and retorted, "You said you were accompanying me the whole time if you didn't know how to sleep! And the result? You're still snoring loudly from your sleep. I say, Xiao Yuan, eunuchs can't snore when they're sleeping. Otherwise, they'll disturb their master's sleep when they're on night duty. When did you get this problem? "
Zhang Yuan was stunned, "I … I snore?" The old emperor and the young eunuchs were always disrespectful. The emperor didn't act like an emperor, and the eunuchs didn't have the self-awareness of being eunuchs. Zhang Yuan sometimes didn't even call himself a servant. Emperor Tianwu didn't blame him. But when it came to his snoring, Zhang Yuan felt a little guilty. It seemed that he had gotten this problem recently. He didn't know why, but he had been snoring for a few days. His young disciple had told him a few times. He scratched his head and felt a little embarrassed. But it was only for a moment. He then said to Emperor Tianwu, "We're talking about you drinking the whole night! Don't talk about other things. "
Emperor Tianwu shook his head, "It's fine. We didn't drink much. Although we didn't sleep the whole night, we didn't drink much." As he said this, he hiccuped. Zhang Yuan was so angry that he stomped his feet. But the old Emperor did not have any self-awareness at all. Zhang Yuan took away his wine cup, so he simply picked up the wine pot and drank another mouthful from the spout. He even smacked his lips to express that it was delicious. He didn't wait for Zhang Yuan to snatch the wine jug back. He simply changed the topic and urged Zhang Yuan, "Zhen's going to Winter Moon Palace with us! We haven't practiced singing for a while. Let's go sing. It's the New Year's..... of course....
Zhang Yuan was stunned. Looking at Emperor Tianwu, he felt a bit sad. He didn't say anything for a long time. It wasn't until Emperor Tianwu became anxious and urged him again that he dryly said, "Consort Yun isn't in the palace. Has Your Majesty forgotten?" After he said this, he gritted his teeth and said, "You must have drunk so much that your brain isn't working well. Royal Consort Yu said a long time ago that drinking too much will harm the brain and it's easy to get brain problems. You just won't listen! Consort Yun has already left the palace for so many days. Who are you singing for in Winter Moon Palace? "
The old emperor was also stunned. He then made an "oh" sound and said, "She left the palace!" His mood was very lonely. "That's right! She left the palace a long time ago. How could we forget? Consort Pian was angry at us and left the palace. We allowed her. " After thinking for a bit, he remembered something, "I heard that she went to Ji 'an County. She said that she was going to propose marriage to the Feng family's third daughter's mother on behalf of Old Seven. You say, this Consort Pian, how daring is she! A dignified prince marrying an official wife, and she made the decision on her own. She didn't even discuss it with us. What if we weren't happy? How would she deal with it? "
Zhang Yuan rolled his eyes at him, "You speak as if you're very powerful. When Consort Yun made the decision, when have you ever dared to say no? When you were young, you were already submissive to her. Now that you're old, what are you trying to do? "
Emperor Tianwu was rendered speechless by his words. That's right! He didn't have any ability when he was young, but now that he was old, he became capable? What nonsense. Even if he was the Emperor, he was only a small follower in Yun Pian Pian. That woman lived like an evil tyrant. Not to mention that he was the Emperor of the mortal world, even if he was the Emperor, he would not be able to do anything to that woman.
Zhang Yuan saw that the old emperor was quite lonely and felt heartache. He told him a piece of gossip that he had heard: "Actually, Consort Yun has already returned to the capital. She arrived in the capital before the new year and is living in Chun Palace. How is it? Do you feel better after I say this? At least the two of them are close to each other and are both in the capital. "
Emperor Tianwu nodded, "That's right! They're close. It's a pity that we can't leave the palace. As long as we are the emperor, we can't leave the palace as we please. Xiao Yuan, we miss her quite a bit, we really do. "
"You have to endure it even if you miss her." Zhang Yuan also sighed and returned the wine cup to him, "Drink another cup! Just one cup. " Then he poured it and said to the old emperor: "Whether you can leave the palace or not doesn't depend on whether you're the emperor or not. Even if you're not the emperor, you're still the retired emperor. You can't leave the palace as you please."
Emperor Tianwu smiled bitterly and waved his hand, "I can't be the retired emperor anymore! If I'm not the emperor, then I'm definitely the previous emperor. I can leave the palace, but I can enter the imperial mausoleum. "
"Pei pei pei!" Zhang Yuan got angry, "What nonsense are you saying? Long live the emperor! "
"Forget it! Long live the emperor is a bastard. " The old emperor was quite open-minded, "They shout 'long live the emperor' every day, but since ancient times, have you ever seen an emperor truly long live the emperor?"
Zhang Yuan was helpless. This old emperor really wasn't easy to coax, so he also spoke the truth, "At least it's a beautiful wish. I hope that the emperor can live the emperor forever! Don't tell me that all the court officials have to change their words and say 'long live the emperor'? How unpleasant. "
The old emperor nodded, "That's true. Sigh — — "He thought of something," Where's Yao Xian? Why didn't I see him enter the palace yesterday? We were just saying that something was missing! He wasn't even in the mood to drink. So that little old man didn't come. Didn't we say that no one is allowed to be absent? Why didn't he come? He really doesn't put us in his eyes. See if we don't … don't … "He pondered, what should he do to him?
Zhang Yuan was simply speechless, "Enough, Consort Yun, you don't dare to do anything to him. Divine Doctor Yao, you also can't do anything to him. Have you forgotten the relationship between the two of them? Moreover, as the emperor, you're all alone and don't have many friends. It's not easy to find a Yao Xian who isn't afraid of you, so you should be secretly happy! But … "As he spoke, his expression dimmed," This servant has heard the reason why Divine Doctor Yao didn't enter the palace. Your Majesty, Divine Doctor Yao is sick … "
On this New Year's Eve, there wasn't the slightest bit of joy in the Yao family. The entire Yao residence was immersed in a silent sorrow and depression.
Yao Xian was seriously ill. Ever since the twelfth lunar month, his condition worsened day by day. On the twenty-third day of the twelfth lunar month, he was so sick that he couldn't get out of bed.
The Yao family thought of all kinds of methods to treat Yao Xian's illness. The Hundred Herb Hall's doctors took turns to watch over his bed from morning to night. Those good medicines that Feng Yu Heng left behind were all used. Unfortunately, the illness still couldn't be controlled.
Actually, Yao Xian had already said that his illness was incurable. Even if Feng Yu Heng was still in the capital, there was no way to treat this illness. Other than delaying it for a few more days, there was no cure. In the end, it was because he was too old. Seventy years old in the future wouldn't be considered much, but in this era, he was already a very, very old man. It was said that in ancient times, the air wasn't polluted and the food they ate was healthier without chemical fertilizers. But in reality, there weren't many people who lived long.
When a person reached a certain age, no matter how much they cared about their health, their body's functions would change or decline. Thus, many illnesses came knocking on their door. These illnesses were mostly chronic and couldn't be cured with the medical methods of the ancient times. So unless you didn't get sick, once you got sick, it would be hard to get better at this age.
Yao Xian was a doctor, and a doctor from the future. He was very clear about his own body's condition. Doctors couldn't treat themselves, but they could make a preliminary diagnosis. He knew that it was cancer, late stage lymphoma. Even in the future, this kind of illness could only be sentenced to death. What hope did he have in this era? Even if Feng Yu Heng was in the capital, she would still be helpless.
His only regret was that if Feng Yu Heng was always in the capital, he could directly give up his life in the real world and enter her pharmacy space when his body was slightly ill. From now on, he would only live in that space and provide logistical support for Feng Yu Heng. It would also save him the trouble of her not having a helper when she encountered a serious illness.
Unfortunately, Feng Yu Heng wasn't here, and his body didn't even have the ability to stand up. Even if Feng Yu Heng came back now, it didn't matter whether he entered that space or not.
He laid on the bed and kept saying to the Yao family members beside him, "You don't have to be sad. Birth, old age, illness, and death are the natural laws of people. No one can't die, it's just a matter of time. I'm seventy-six years old. I've lived a long life. I've enjoyed all the blessings that I should have, so I can die in peace. If there's any regret, it's that I can't see Feng Heng again before I die. That child will come back one day. If she knows that I'm gone, she will be very sad. "
In fact, the only person that Yao Xian missed the most was Feng Yu Heng. Unfortunately, the Yao family members were all here, except for Feng Yu Heng.
But he shouldn't complain! After all, the heavens had given them two generations of grandfather and grandson's affection. These few years were biased, so he should be grateful. But he really missed that child. When he thought that once he closed his eyes, he would never have the chance to see her again, his heart was very sad.
Yao Xian found Feng Zirui in the crowd and stretched out his hand to the child. This child was brought back from Xiao Zhou by the Miao Clan before the New Year. Since the last time he saw him, he had grown a lot taller and more sensible. It was the hand with the little finger that made his heart ache. He kept saying, "Your sister should have helped you reattach your little finger. Now … it won't look good when you grow up."
Zirui cried and shook his head, "I won't reattach it. Only with a broken finger can I remember the hatred. Only then can I encourage Zirui to learn more skills and protect myself and my sister in the future. Grandfather — "Zirui threw himself into Yao Xian's arms and cried," Grandfather, you must get better. Sister hasn't come back from the East Border yet! If she doesn't see grandfather when she comes back, she will definitely blame us for not taking good care of you. She will hit us. "
Yao Xian laughed, "Your sister isn't that unreasonable. Grandfather is too old and has to go."
"Father." Yao Xian couldn't listen anymore, "Don't say things like that. You are not old. Some people are really old when they live to be more than a hundred years old!" As he spoke, he handed the medicine in his hand to Yao Xian, "Take the medicine."
Yao Xian looked at his father and didn't take the medicine. He only said to him, "I won't take it. I am the best doctor in Dashun. I know my own body better than anyone else. No matter how much medicine I take, my life will still come to an end. If the heavens want me to go, no one can stop me. "
That's right! If the heavens wanted to take someone away, that person wouldn't be able to stay in this world anymore.
The Yao Family was extremely sad. Yao Xian asked them to go back and rest many times, but no one was willing to leave. Everyone knew that with Yao Xian's current situation, once he left, they might not even be able to see him for the last time …
