Chapter 2182 Old Illness

But she was watching beside her, so how could she not feel that his condition was getting worse.

When winter came last year, there were only a few sporadic coughs.

After the whole winter passed, I thought that when the weather got warmer in spring, his cough would gradually get better.

Who knew it wasn't.

On the contrary, it became more and more serious, and the person also lost some weight.

Yun Dai didn't say anything on her face, but she was very worried in her heart.

She came here every day, taking Lao Meng and Ouyang with her, and took turns to diagnose and treat Zhao Yuanjing.

According to Dr. Meng, it was an old illness that had accumulated since the emperor's childhood. It had been suppressed in the past few years. After being injured during the six months on the battlefield and the continuous workload of state affairs, the old illness could no longer be suppressed.

Ouyang's opinion is roughly the same as that of Meng Yuyi.

But he believed that the injuries on the battlefield alone were not enough to have such a big impact on the emperor's body.

There must be another reason.

It can't be due to diet.

Nowadays, the harem is under the control of the queen, and it is absolutely impossible for anyone to make any small moves.

Yun Dai still trusted Ouyang's judgment.

She wanted to find out what caused the emperor's old illness to relapse and become worse day by day.

After Zhao Yuanjing's cough subsided, Yun Dai first told him about letting a group of palace ladies out of the palace.

He smiled and said: "Now that you are old enough, let her go. Dai'er can decide these little things on her own."

"This is a small matter. Qi Xiao and the others are already dealing with it. But there is another important matter. It's time for the palace to hold a draft, right?"

"Draft?" Zhao Yuanjing looked at her.

"What kind of look are you looking at?" Yun Dai laughed, "I'm not choosing a concubine for you, but replenishing the palace with maids. You have been on the throne for eight years, and the maids have been sent out one after another, but there is no replacement. There is no one now. After work is done, those empty palaces will be abandoned sooner or later."

Zhao Yuanjing thought about it and found that it was indeed the case.

Yun Dai's group were the last maids to come in.

There are very few in the back.

After the death of the Queen Mother, there was absolutely no such thing.

Now that Yun Dai is twenty-five, it means that all the palace ladies in her group will be released from the palace.

Zhao Yuanjing smiled and said: "In that case, just choose."

Yun Dai said: "I was thinking that in previous years, girls from official and aristocratic families were chosen first in the draft. They were all rushing to be promoted. Since there is no such hope, don't ask them to enter the palace. Choose some folk. A commoner woman, the kind who comes from a poor family and wants to make money to support her family."

Zhao Yuanjing pinched her face and said with a doting look: "Okay, I'll listen to you. You don't need to discuss the affairs of the harem with me, it's all up to you."

Yun Dai smiled and said: "That's not good. I still have to tell you about important things. In addition, there is one more thing, Qi Xiao and Jin Shan. Qi Xiao is as old as me, already twenty-five, and Jin Shan is one year younger, so she is no longer younger. What are you going to do about the two of them?"

"It was the Empress Dowager's idea that they enter the palace in the first place. If you are willing to raise them in the palace, if not, you can go home and get married on your own. In my eyes, they are no different from other ordinary palace maids."

"After all, she is of high rank. There is no way she can be like an ordinary palace maid."

"What do you think?"

"Qi Xiao probably refuses to leave the palace. As for Jin Shan, it's hard to say. I'll talk to her again."

"Anything is fine."

"In these years, she has never given up her desire to sleep with her." Yun Dai said with a smile.

"Forget it for her. I would like the queen to sleep with me tonight."

Zhao Yuanjing pulled her into his arms, gently caressed her back with his hand, and said in a low voice, "Should I stay here tonight, or should I go to Fengyi Palace?"

I was delayed because of something today. Let’s do these first and get up early tomorrow to make up for the rest.
