Dujie Patriarch is cannon fodder

It was rare for Rong Qi to react, he suddenly thought of the heater that the queen had let him hold in his arms before, which was obviously too big for several laps.At that time, the queen was planning to be extremely hot and warm?

Rong Qi's illness lasted for several days, during which Emperor Chenxuan came to see him once, and he got up and left after sitting for a while.There are also several princes who had a good relationship with Rong Qi in the past and took this opportunity to visit him twice, but now Rong Qi looks half-dead, and it is embarrassing to see him more often.

It was the fifth day of the first lunar month when Rong Qi got up and went back to the Marquis' Mansion. The weather was not so good that day, catkin-like snowflakes were falling, and the entire imperial city was shrouded in the icy cold wind. Qi still had his limbs stiffened by the chill of early spring.

The palace carriage was luxuriously built and extremely comfortable to ride on. When she was about to arrive at the Hou's Mansion, Rong Yue suddenly said, "Father, there is a man there, and his clothes are all dyed white."

Rong Qi moved his body with difficulty, and looked in the direction Rong Yue was pointing at. He saw that the person standing in the snow was like a sculpture, slender and tall. It can be vaguely seen that the original color of his clothes is the color of green bamboo.

Rong Qi frowned slightly, he wanted to turn a blind eye to the person standing in the snow, but when he thought that the person might be here waiting for him to return, he couldn't bear it.

That's it!

Rong Qi said to the guards on the left and right: "There is a man in front of the Hou's mansion, he is a friend of the Marquis, you go to someone and bring him into the Hou's mansion."

After hearing the promise from outside, Rong Qi sat back in his original position, closed his eyes and said nothing.

Rong Yue turned her head and looked at Rong Yang, Rong Yang nodded slightly, Rong Yue immediately put down the small curtain, sat back in her seat, looking quiet and obedient.

Rong Qi just returned to the Ronghou Mansion, Xiao Jingning was also brought in, Xiao Jingning stared at him as soon as he entered, as if he wanted to see a flower on his face.

Rong Qi pretended to cough several times but did not bring Xiao Jingning back to his senses, so he had to order his servants to prepare something to warm up, then found a seat and sat down, letting Xiao Jingning stare.

After a long time, Xiao Jingning stiffly moved his eyes away from Rong Qi's face. He finally felt a little embarrassed, but he heard Rong Qi jokingly say: "Mr. Look, this Marquis will also be embarrassed."

Xiao Jingning's handsome and pale face suddenly turned red. He looked away in embarrassment, and said dryly, "I heard that Lord Hou is not feeling well, so I came here to have a look. I hope I didn't disturb Master Hou."

Rong Qi said with a smile: "Young Master Xiao, please sit down, I just came back from the palace, so I can't say I'm bothering you."

Xiao Jingning sat down in the seat closest to Rong Qi, then continued to secretly stare at Rong Qi.

Xiao Jingning still remembers what Rong An said when he came back from the palace on New Year's Eve: "From now on, you can withdraw all attention from Rong Qi. Anyway, he only has one or two years of fate, so he can't make any troubles." .”

Xiao Jingning didn't remember what it was like at that time. At that time, he only felt that his mind was blank, his heart seemed to have no feeling, and it seemed that he was stabbed fiercely by countless sharp needles, causing dense pain.

After the almost numb pain in his heart passed, Xiao Jingning had only one thought, that is to see Rong Qi immediately, he no longer cared about his master's orders, he didn't want to assist Mingjun anymore, he didn't need the glory and wealth, he just wanted to be with him By that person's side, quietly by his side, even for a day.

Xiao Jingning closed his eyes, what is going on in this world has anything to do with him?

He doesn't want fame and fortune, he doesn't like gold, silver and jewellery, he doesn't need expensive cars and BMWs, he just wants to be by the side of this person who has made him look at him for thousands of years.

Xiao Jingning wanted to tell Rong Qi that he didn't want to be Rong An's counselor anymore, but he was afraid that Rong Qi would look down on him. A counselor doesn't even have basic loyalty, so why should he keep him by his side?

Just as Xiao Jingning was considering his words, the servant girl of the Hou's mansion finally brought up the warm-up stuff, Xiao Jingning heaved a sigh of relief without any trace, he glanced at Rong Qi quietly, seeing him closing his eyes and feigning sleep, his expression was peaceful, he He also slowly raised the corners of his lips, pulling out a warm and soft smile.

Xiao Jingning packed up and came out, Rong Qi had already fallen asleep on the soft bed, the sleeping Rong Qi was gentle and easy-going, and his whole body exuded a gentle and jade-like aura.

The servant girls were carrying things outside, Xiao Jingning looked down at Rong Qi, turned his head and made a silent movement towards the servant girls, then found a place, and stared at Rong Qi openly.

Rong Qi's sense is actually very keen, he noticed it when Xiao Jingning walked out of the inner room lightly, but he was really tired, so he was not very willing to open his eyes.

However, being stared at with scorching eyes, no matter how determined Rong Qi is, he would feel a little uncomfortable, so after a brief thought, he decided to 'wake up'.

Seeing that Rong Qi was awake, Xiao Jingning immediately got up and went to help him. While supporting Rong Qi, he twisted the quilt for Rong Qi with his blunt hands, and said concernedly: "Your Majesty is awake, can you drink some hot water?" , something to eat?"

Rong Qi has never experienced this kind of day of being taken care of as a child, so at first he thought it was a bit new. Although the person who took care of him was clumsy, it did not hinder his temporary enjoyment.

Rong Qi shook his head, expressing that he doesn't need anything now.

Seeing that Rong Qi was in a good mood, Xiao Jingning finally stuttered and said his thoughts: "Master Hou, Jingning has thought about it carefully, and thinks that Master Hou has a comprehensive view of His Highness, but Jing Ning thought it wrong before. , I don't know..."

When Xiao Jingning saw Rong Qi looking at him with warm and peaceful eyes, he closed his eyes, his heart froze, and he blurted out all the words: "If Jing Ning breaks away from the influence of the Third Highness, may the Lord Hou take Jing Ning in?"

Rong Qi's eyes were slightly condensed, and the smile on his face was also subdued. He looked at Xiao Jingning with deep eyes: "Is what Young Master Xiao said true?"

Xiao Jingning felt that he was a fish waiting to be slaughtered, and could only lie on the chopping board anxiously waiting for the other party's decision. When he heard Rong Qi's question, he subconsciously replied: "Really!"

Rong Qi was silent again, and after a while, Xiao Jingning heard his moderate voice: "Young Master Xiao should know that what Rong An can give you, you will never get it from this Marquis."

Xiao Jingning opened his mouth, but in the end he still didn't say the words that lingered in his heart.

What I want, only you can give!

Xiao Jingning was thinking of a countermeasure, but Rong Qi had already said again: "If Young Master Xiao likes this Marquis' residence, then he can stay. As for the Third Highness..."

Xiao Jingning continued as if rushing the conversation: "I can deal with the Third Highness, and I promise not to cause trouble to the Hou Mansion."

After Xiao Jingning said this, he left, as if he was afraid of Rong Qi's repentance.

Xiao Jingning reappeared a month later. At that time, Xiao Jingning was carrying a shriveled package and was wearing a blue gown. His figure seemed to have lost a lot of weight. He stood pale in front of the gate of the Hou's Mansion, and was blown by the cold wind. The blowing made the robes fly and hair messy.

People from the Ronghou Mansion invited Xiao Jingning in, and he developed a high fever that night. The Hou Mansion invited three or five doctors to guard him, and the fever did not completely subside until the next night.Xiao Jingning, who had suffered a serious illness, was visibly haggard. Fortunately, he has a good foundation, so he will be fine after a while.

Xiao Jingning didn't talk about how he left Rong An's influence, and Rong Qi stopped asking after he failed to ask.

At the beginning of March in the 27th year of Emperor Xuan, the matter of embezzlement of military pay by Shangshu of the Ministry of War was thoroughly investigated. The evidence was solid, and Emperor Xuan was furious. Central officials and 26 local officials participated in the event, and the Emperor announced that the participants were guilty of the same crime as the Minister of the Ministry of War, and their family members were sent to the frontier, and they were not allowed to return to Beijing forever.

In April of the 27th year of Emperor Xuan, wars raged in northern Xinjiang, and news of success in the frontiers came frequently.

The turmoil in the court began with the case of embezzlement of military pay by the Shangshu of the Ministry of War. In the past two years, the turmoil has never stopped.

In the past two years, several high-ranking ministers in the court have changed, and local officials have changed a lot, but the power of the third son Rong An and the fifth son Rong Lie is still evenly matched.Emperor Xuan sat firmly in the high position, watching his sons fight non-stop for his seat, but he had no intention of stopping it.

Two years was enough for Rong Qi to divide the forces behind him into multiple groups and hide them in the dark. Now on the surface, apart from the Wang family with a different surname, there are also two small and inconspicuous families. He was classified into the middle class by Emperor Xuan for not standing on the sidelines.

Everyone who should know about Rong Qi's physical condition knows about it. Some people were surprised that he was able to survive the two-year mark. That's all.

Because of his health, Rong Qi seldom leaves the Hou's mansion now. When he has nothing to do, he likes to read books and play chess. Sometimes he even orders his servants to buy some medicinal materials and prescribe them himself according to the prescriptions he got. .

"Rehmannia glutinosa, Huhuanglian, fake Su..."

While looking at the prescription, Xiao Jingning searched for medicinal ingredients, went around many times, but couldn't find all the medicinal ingredients written in the prescription.His talent in medicine is quite low, and he can only identify some simple medicinal materials after being with Rong Qi for two years, and sometimes he can't recognize the medicinal materials because of their similar smells.

After a while, the medicinal materials were finally found. Xiao Jingning compared the medicinal materials he found out again, and found sadly that he seemed to have found the wrong one again.

Rong Qi took a quiet look at Xiao Jingning, and then continued to slowly flip through the books in his hand. He thought that if he didn't accept disciples in his previous life, he must have not found any talented ones. There is absolutely no possibility of someone like Xiao Jingning becoming his disciple. of.

After a while, Rong Qi saw that Xiao Jingning still didn't give up, so he said, "Rong Yang just touched his nose, it's just a small injury, it will be fine after a while, no need to take medicine."
