Zhao Qi was suffocated by He Changzhou's words.

Also, a total of four people who went to Lama Temple that night of the palace banquet excluded Rong Tang and He Changzhou, leaving only Li Chisu and Xiao Shiqing.

Li Chisu has a romantic nature and likes to flirt, having sex with him is commonplace for him, coupled with his later ambiguous attitude towards him, maybe the dragon egg really belongs to him.

As for Xiao Shiqing... He and Xiao Shiqing get along almost day and night, and they don't think there is anything unusual about each other at all.Moreover, Xiao Shiqing is not close to men and women, and looks down on the world, Zhao Qi is confident that he will not be seen by him.

To sum up, Li Chisu's possibility is far greater than Xiao Shiqing's.

"The dragon egg is yours, I don't even want it, let alone Li Chisu's?!" Zhao Qi pointed to the sky and swore, "I, Zhao Qi, would rather die than have any children for him!"

"Hush," He Changzhou put his index finger against Zhao Qi's lips, "Hush your majesty, Fuzi is still in the dark, be careful not to be heard by him."

Zhao Qi puffed up his cheeks, he lost the mood of shopping and eating noodles, "I'm going back."

On the other side, Xiao Shiqing went to the outskirts of Cangzhou after finishing the matter at hand.

Outside the other courtyard of Rong Mansion, two guards saw Xiao Shiqing and knelt down to salute, "See the Prime Minister."

Xiao Shiqing looked at the newly planted peach blossoms in the courtyard, and asked, "What has Rong Tang been doing these past few days?"

The guard said: "On weekdays, Mr. Rong is just playing with the peach trees in the yard besides sleeping. When you are tired, you can take a rest and read a book."

Xiao Shiqing narrowed his eyes and walked into the courtyard.

Rong Tang was watering and fertilizing the peach trees, it was obviously not a clean job, but his body was still spotless.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, he looked forward and saw a trace of disappointment in the eyes of the visitor, and said lightly: "The prime minister is here, what's the matter."

Xiao Shiqing raised his hand to touch the tender green leaves on the branch, and said casually: "We will leave tomorrow."

Rong Tang's eyes froze, and he covered his lips and coughed a few times.

Tomorrow, that person will leave.

In fact, it makes no difference to him whether to go or not to go.Even if the two are in the same city, in this life, I am afraid they will never see each other again.

He knew this very well, but as long as he thought of being in the same city with that person, looking at the same sky and drinking the same water, his heart was still alive.

When he leaves, he will probably give up completely.Days are not so difficult.

Xiao Shiqing took off the new leaf, "Before he left, he asked me to set you free."

Rong Tang chuckled lightly, "Yes, it really was him." He always hit him with a stick and gave him a bite of candy.He relied on that chewing gum to last his last breath until now.

"I said, I'm going to think about it."

"May I ask the Prime Minister how he thinks about it?"

Xiao Shiqing let go of his hand, Xinye slipped from his hand and fell into the mud. "As long as you stay far away from him, it's okay."

Rong Tang asked: "How far."

"From east to west, from south to north."

"Understood," Rong Tang nodded and said, "Prime Minister wants me to go to the north."

"For him, that's all you can do." Xiao Shiqing lazily said, "I've prepared a customs clearance document with the emperor's seal on it. As long as you agree, someone will send the document to the Duke Huai's Mansion in the capital. Coupled with the friendship you have with Duke Huai in the past, it will not be difficult to gain their trust."

Rongtang's face sank like water, "Is that what you meant, or what he meant."

"mine."

"He doesn't know?"

Xiao Shiqing said unhurriedly: "When the time is right, I will naturally tell him."

"I have something to ask the prime minister."

"Say."

"At the beginning, the prime minister spared my life because the emperor pleaded for mercy, or because the prime minister wanted to use me early in the morning?"

Xiao Shiqing glanced at him, "Neither of them."

"That is--"

"The reason why I spared your life is because..." Xiao Shiqing smiled lowly, "I don't want him to be angry with me."

Rongtang's fingers hidden in his sleeves were pinched, and his chest felt dull.Probably only Xiao Shiqing is the only person in the world who can exchange the life and death of one person, or even a family, for the emperor to smile.

"You can think about it slowly." Xiao Shiqing said, "When you have a decision, no matter what it is, tell the guards in front of the courtyard, and they will tell you what to do next."

After Xiao Shiqing finished speaking, he left, Rong Tang called him back: "Prime Minister."

Xiao Shiqing stopped walking, "What's the matter?"

"Since the emperor's dragon body is inconvenient, why take him south by boat?"

"He insists on this, so I naturally follow him."

Rong Tang said: "If I were you, no matter what, this October will not make him suffer."

Xiao Shiqing turned around, "October?"

Rong Tang keenly caught the doubt in the other party's eyes, his heart moved, and he slowly pursed his lips, "It turns out that the prime minister doesn't know about this yet."

Xiao Shiqing frowned, "Say what you want, you don't have to beat around the bush."

Rong Tang said: "If he doesn't say that he has his reasons, others are not qualified to speak for him. Prime Minister, go slowly, forgive me for sending you off soon."

Xiao Shiqing didn't stay for a moment.Although he has doubts, he will not be held accountable for this.

However, he was more and more sure that the little emperor was hiding something from him.And this matter, maybe Rong Tang knew about it.

Xiao Shiqing was restless for a while, and after returning to the palace, he went straight to the little emperor's residence, and the first sentence was: "Has the emperor come back?"

Jiang Dehai said: "The emperor just came back, and Xiao Songzi is waiting for the emperor to change clothes."

Xiao Shiqing walked into the inner room, Zhao Qi's clothes were almost changed, only a jade belt was missing.Xiao Shiqing said in a low voice: "Stand back, let me do it."

Xiao Songzi put the jade belt aside, bent over and stepped back.The little emperor stared at the bronze mirror, lost in thought, and didn't even know that the people around him had changed.

Xiao Shiqing approached him from behind, his broad palm slowly came to his chin, lifted it lightly, bent over to his ear and said: "What is the emperor thinking?"

Zhao Qi was startled, and his eyes were forced to fall on the bronze mirror in front of him.

In the mirror, he and Xiao Shiqing stood in front of each other, with him in front and Xiao Shiqing behind; Xiao Shiqing's hand rested on his chin, and his lips were only a few feet away from his ears.

Zhao Qi came back to his senses and said: "Is my brother so much taller than me?!"

Xiao Shiqing laughed, let go of his hands and rubbed Zhao Qi's head, "Is it fun outside?"

Zhao Qi turned around and said, "It's not fun, it's not half of the capital."

Xiao Shiqing looked down at him, "Do you have something on your mind?"

Zhao Qi looked back into his eyes, hesitated to say: "Yes...no."

Xiao Shiqing raised his eyebrows slightly, "Is it true or not?"

Zhao Xi scratched his head with one hand, "I want to ask my brother something."

"You ask."

"Brother, have you, uh..." Zhao Xi blushed, his voice could not be lower, "Have you slept with... Zhen?"

Xiao Shiqing didn't hear the second half of Zhao Qi's sentence clearly, so he frowned and asked, "What?"

Zhao Qi plucked up his courage and was about to repeat the question loudly when Jiang Dehai's voice came from outside, "Your Majesty, Prime Minister, it's time for dinner."

"No hurry," Xiao Shiqing said, "The emperor finishes what he wants to say first."

Finding a father for a dragon's egg is like fighting a war. It goes all out, then declines, and ends three times.Zhao Qi was "exhausted", and almost fled, "I'm hungry, let's eat first!"

Xiao Shiqing: "..."

Zhao Xi said he was hungry, but he lost his appetite when he was eating, and he said he was tired after he moved his chopsticks a few times, and he wanted to go back to his room to rest.

Xiao Shiqing let him go, and as soon as he left, he called Fuzi.

"I ordered you to investigate, what clues do you have?"

Fuzi said: "Prime Minister, this Cheng Boyan is a late student of the Imperial Hospital, and he studied under Imperial Physician Zhang in the front yard of the Imperial Hospital. Before the emperor went on a tour, he once told Imperial Physician Zhang because of loss of appetite, nausea and nausea. Physician Zhang said that the emperor had stomach damp heat, Qi deficiency and blood deficiency also prescribed a prescription. But on the second day, Imperial Physician Zhang informed Ding You, and the person who examined the emperor's pulse was replaced by Imperial Physician Cheng."

Xiao Shiqing signaled Fuzi to continue.

"Since then, Imperial Physician Cheng has become the only Imperial Physician appointed by the Emperor, and he accompanied Sheng Jia during the southern tour. The decoctions and medicines that the Emperor takes every day are all from him."

Xiao Shiqing said: "Did you get the prescriptions of Imperial Physician Zhang and Cheng Boyan?"

Fu Zi said: "The prescription of Imperial Physician Zhang can be known from the archives of the Imperial Hospital; as for Imperial Physician Cheng, he did all the drying, grinding, and decoction of the medicine by himself. The prescription is in his heart, so there is no need to write it down. Subordinates The prescription was also calculated from the dregs of the medicine he decocted." He took out two notes and handed them to Xiao Shiqing, "Prime Minister, please take a look."

Xiao Shiqing glanced twice, "Interesting."

For the same disease, the prescriptions given by the two imperial physicians, the old and the young, were completely different.

"The subordinates asked the doctor, and the prescription of Imperial Physician Zhang is indeed a good prescription for damp heat in the stomach, qi deficiency and blood deficiency; while the prescription of Imperial Physician Cheng, the doctor said that he has never heard of it, and really does not know what it is for."

Xiao Shiqing pondered for a moment, and said: "Send someone to Zhang Taiyi's hometown to find out who he is; Cheng Boyan's prescription will continue to be investigated."

Fuzi clasped his fists and said, "This subordinate obeys orders. If the prime minister has no other orders, this subordinate will leave."

Xiao Shiqing said: "Wait a minute."

"Prime Minister?"

Xiao Shiqing hesitated for a moment, and said, "What did the emperor do on his trip today?"

"Back to the prime minister, the emperor..."

"Forget it, stop talking."

Fuzi: "?"

Xiao Shiqing: "I promised him that I would stop monitoring him."

"Then, this subordinate will retire?"

"Wait." Xiao Shiqing said, "Go ahead."

Fuzi has been with Xiao Shiqing for so many years, and this is the first time he has seen the resolute prime minister entangled like this, and said with complicated emotions: "The emperor went to the street with General He Xiao today, and ate a bowl of Yangchun noodles at an open-air noodle stall. During the period, there seemed to be something unpleasant, and the emperor even made a move on General He Xiao, and the emperor has been in a bad mood since then."

Having a bad fight with He Changzhou... Is this what the little emperor is thinking about?

"Understood," Xiao Shiqing said lightly, "Remember, the truth didn't ask you anything just now."

Fu Zi: "...Yes."

Early the next morning, the dragon boat set sail again.

Xiao Shiqing lifted the ban on the people, and many people gathered on the shore, wanting to see the sky.

Zhao Qi thought for a long time, and decided to take the route of pretending to be coercive, to establish the majesty of the emperor.With a sullen face, he led the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs to board the boat and leave the shore, and stood on the deck looking at the dense crowd on the shore.

The river wind was blowing on his face, blowing his pride - ah, these are my people.

Among hundreds of people, he saw the familiar white at a glance.

Rong Tang's eyes passed through the crowd and quietly landed on him.

Cool and dusty, just like before.

The dragon boat moved forward slowly, and the white in the field of vision gradually became smaller and finally disappeared.

"emperor."

After being patted on the shoulder, Zhao Qi looked away and met He Changzhou's smiling eyes, "What's the matter?"

He Changzhou asked: "Has the emperor made up his mind?"

"Think of what?"

He Changzhou patted Zhao Qi's lower abdomen lightly, "The child's name."

Zhao Xi's eyes twitched, "I don't need to think about it, thank you."

"Then listen to me and call Zhao Yun."

"...Are you finished yet?!"

The author has something to say: Qiqi: No one understands my brother better than me, he won't sleep with me... right? !
