Road to South Africa

When South Africa woke up with his eyes open, it was already dusk in the afternoon. Xu Shi had been having a high fever since last night, which made people confused. Then he woke up suddenly, only opened his eyes, and lay on the bed staring blankly. The carved patterns on the bed beams are in a daze.

Xiao Yuan specially came to see him, seeing that he didn't know when to open his eyes, he was overjoyed immediately: "South Africa? When did you wake up in South Africa, why don't you call me?"

South Africa turned to look at him, saw that the clothes on Xiao Yuan's body had changed, and blinked before asking, "Why are you dressed like this?" His voice was very low and very hoarse.

Xiao Yuan stretched out his hand to touch his forehead, feeling that the temperature had completely cooled down, and then he smiled and said: "This is the clothes of the palace people. I am in the palace now, so naturally I can't wear ordinary people's clothes anymore. Are you thirsty?" I'm thirsty and I'll pour you water"

Closing his eyes and taking a deep breath, South Africa seemed to finally come back to his senses, trying to pull himself together, but his whole body was weak and sore for a while.

Xiao Yuan poured tea, hurriedly returned to the bed and supported South Africa: "Be careful, don't force yourself if you are not in good health."

"It's okay..." South Africa sighed, leaned on Xiao Yuan, took the teacup and drank it with his head down.

The door of the sleeping hall was pushed open, Xiao Yuan turned his head and saw that it was Zhao Cheng. Before he could speak, Zhao Cheng went straight up: "The waiter is awake? Are you in good health? I need a slave to summon Li Taiyi to serve as a servant Someone ask for pulse?"

South Africa looked up at him suspiciously: "Who are you?"

Zhao Cheng knelt down: "Slave Zhao Cheng is the eunuch in charge of serving the servants in the Lotus Palace. The servants were already sick and fainted when they entered the palace in the morning. They have been in a coma for almost a whole day."

"Lian Ting Palace..." South Africa was stunned: "Have I already entered?"

Xiao Yuan nodded: "Yes, you came in early this morning, but you fell ill last night, and you have been suffering from repeated high fevers."

South Africa let out an oh, and then asked after a while: "I must have made my parents uncomfortable at that time."

Xiao Yuan said: "No, Master and Madam are both fine, just worried about your health, when you are well, just find someone who is suitable for you to bring the letter back."

"This kind of place, come in, can you go out?" South Africa just sneered.

Xiao Yuan choked, fearing that some taboos would be involved if the topic continued, Xiao Yuan only changed his words and asked him: "You have been sleeping for almost a day, and now you are talking about this time, are you hungry? Let me get you something to eat." of?"

South Africa sighs: "I want to eat recorded bean soup"

Zhao Cheng nodded quickly: "The slave will tell the small kitchen to prepare, please wait for a while."

Out of the dormitory, Zhao Cheng immediately asked someone to report that South Africa had already woken up. In the imperial study, Shangguan Wuyu nodded when he heard this, and then ordered: "I won't be able to go for a few days, he wants to Whatever you want, just do it, no need to ask me.”

The palace servant should salute, leaning over and retreating.

The palace people who watched left, and the man standing in front of the desk, dressed in purple clothes and wearing a crown, was obviously Shangguan Haoqi from Prince Lin's Mansion: "I heard that the emperor had a new lover the day before yesterday, so I just entered the palace. Aren't you afraid of spoiling your human nature by being so pampered?" It is a crime of disrespect to make irresponsible remarks on the people around the emperor, and he would definitely not dare to change others, but this Shangguan Haoqi can say it if he dares to say so. .

Shangguan Wuyu didn't seem to care about this, but said: "It's bad to be raised, and then it's good to be trained." His face was calm, and he didn't seem to spoil the newcomer so much as rumored outside.

Shangguan Haoqi said again: "To be appointed by the emperor to enter the palace, this servant must be a stunning beauty, right?"

"Huh?" Shangguan Wuyu was stunned for a moment, and then Langsheng smiled and said, "Peerless beauty? He can't be considered, at most, he is a delicate beauty. When I first became the throne a few years ago, I met outside the palace. The little guy with sharp claws had originally agreed to pick him up, but unexpectedly he vomited with me, and as a result, he was so angry that he was so angry that I felt sorry for him, so I took it as compensation up"

Shangguan Haoqi didn't know what he was thinking of, and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Kechen heard that he and the champion of Jinke seem to be..."

"It's his younger brother." Shangguan Wuyu said bluntly: "Zheng Nanjun's youngest brother, Zheng Nana, speaking of them, they also have an older brother named Zheng Min, who is now the painter in my palace."

As soon as the word "Zheng Min" came out, Shangguan Haoqi was stunned and his eyes flashed with surprise.

Shangguan Wuyu didn't seem to notice it, but continued: "South Africa is weak, and fell ill when he first entered the palace. Nan Jun's foreign ministers are not allowed to enter the palace, but this Zheng Min, you can let him spend more time with South Africa in his free time. After all, my brother always moves freely."

Hearing the word "Brother" again, the man was completely unsteady: "The emperor is Zheng Min!"

"How?" Shangguan Wuyu smiled half-smile, the corners of his mouth slightly pursed, although it seemed gentle, but the domineering arrogance of the king clearly separated the identities of the two, even though...they used to Together side by side through the battlefield.

The words that came out of his mouth were stuck in his throat, Shangguan Haoqi still didn't say it, but just clasped his fists: "I just heard the name Zheng Min and suddenly remembered the male concubine who ran away from my family years ago."

"Oh?" The corners of Shangguan Wuyu's eyes twitched slightly, as if surprised: "Aren't you married to Nangong Yaoyue? Why is there another male concubine?"

The man clasped his fists and said, "This male concubine was arranged by my mother for me when I was seriously ill that day. Because I didn't spend a lot of money on it, no one except my family knew about it."

The five fingers clasped the table lightly. Although the emperor was smiling, he was even more chilled: "Marrying a male concubine, but not reporting it to the official media, does Ai Qing know what crime it is?"

The man frowned: "It's just that the matter was urgent at the time, so he didn't have time to report it. When the minister wanted to mention it to the official media, he had already left home in anger, and he has not been whereabouts until now..."

All around, there was a strange silence for a moment, and after a while, Shangguan Wuyu's cool and gorgeous voice sounded again: "Although you can forgive this matter, but you have flouted the law, I will give you a chance to go Find something for me and come back, if you find it, the matter will be over."

The man was suspicious, wondering what the emperor was looking for.

Shangguan Wuyu only said: "Next month, King Tiance will return to the imperial court. Before he left, I promised to help him find the rhinoceros incense, but after searching for a long time, I found nothing. In recent days, I heard that Nanyue Mountain If there is news of this raw rhinoceros, you can help me to take a look, and if it is really this thing, then bring it back to me."

When he heard that what he was looking for turned out to be this weird thing, Shangguan Haoqi's eyes were slightly surprised: "Why would King Tiance want to find this thing? It is said that lighting the incense of raw rhinoceros can communicate with ghosts, King Tiance..."

"It's just a rumor, do you believe it?" Shangguan Wuyu interrupted lightly: "Princess Tiance is seriously ill in the countryside, and she needs this incense to be used as medicine to recover. This torture, now I can't leave easily, so I have to let you go through it for someone else."

Shangguan Haoqi frowned, and said after a while: "Since that's the case, then I can go there in person, but..."

"What else?"

Shangguan Haoqi said: "I want to see Zheng Min."

Shangguan Wuyu had only one sentence: "Let's talk about it after you bring the raw rhinoceros fragrance back first."

You can know this person, but you won't let people see this person, because everything hasn't started yet.

Seeing Shangguan Wuyu frowned, turned and left suppressing his sullenness, Shangguan Wuyu just smiled faintly, apparently in a good mood.
