Could there be anything more embarrassing than this in the world?

Who am I, where am I, what am I going to do?

The two dogs and men on the ground thanked me in unison: "My lord, you will be rewarded for your kindness!"

I don't need to ride a horse.

Can you two disappear in some mellow fashion from under my nose?

Who am I, where am I, what the hell am I supposed to do?

I haven't eaten yet, haven't slept yet, are you looking for the emperor's nephew?

By the way, he is not angry at me, why can't I go to him?

Don't I just want to take a hot bath, life is so magical and unreal?

Filled with melancholy, I walked back to King Liang's big tent hesitantly, blowing the messy little night wind.

Hit head-on with a large vat of steaming, fragrant water.And His Royal Highness King Liang, the black-faced god, sitting upright on Xiaomu Zhashang next to the wooden tank.

"Eat first or take a bath first?" He raised his eyes and asked me.

I glanced at the rice tray on the big sand table, and ate a few mouthfuls indiscriminately.Ask: "Are you ready to eat again? Didn't you wait for me? Did you take a bath too?"

"..." He pursed his lips and kept looking at me.

Uh, it seems that the question is wrong, I quickly added: "You wash it first before I go out for a while."

"Washed." He said lightly.

I said happily: "Then I'll wash it, you go out for a while. Yo, there are still petals, are there still petals in the army?"

"That's not a flower petal," he showed an expression of being unable to bear it any longer, "it's a medicinal material. Dr. Xue asked me to watch you steep it."

"This...no need, I have hands and feet..."

He had a stack of military newspapers on his lap.He turned over the military newspaper as if he had never heard of it.

A gentleman is magnanimous, and a villain is always concerned. I am an emperor.I sank into the water frankly.

The imperial nephew only lit a bean lamp at his feet, and only the palm-sized area in front of his face was bright in the whole tent.I grabbed the edge of the bathtub, poked my head to talk to him: "Mao Lang, are you angry? What are you angry about?"

"No." He replied.

I smiled and said: "The two generals are loyal to you. When you employ people, you don't have to punish them for this. Besides, it's nothing. I have seen a lot in the capital. You know Xue Shang. There are three in his family. I used to Went to Chaomu Building with Zhao Shuo, and ran into Jiang Jing, the commander of Habayashi guards, leading a male servant..."

"Different."

"Yes, it's different," I agreed, "Those people in Kyoto just spend money to have fun."

"Chao Mu Lou?"

Me: "...Uncle just went to open his eyes and didn't do anything."

The nephew became silent again.

I feel that the topic has been led into the ditch by me. Am I a bit unqualified as an elder?So what should I say right?I thought about it: "Xiao Guan said that you took medicine because you couldn't sleep well, why didn't you sleep well? You seemed to have dreams a few times when you were in Zibotai and Xuanyang Palace, and you told me to 'get lost', and now you still have nightmares ?"

He was still staring down at the military newspaper in his hand: "I'm not telling uncle to 'scroll'."

I laughed and said, "I know you're not talking about me. Whenever you dream, you pick me up and don't let me go in the morning. Once, I took off my clothes and let you hold me..."

"fourteen."

"Ah." I seem to have said something wrong again.

He lowered his head and flipped through a military newspaper.

I obediently kept my mouth shut for a while.After a while, I felt a little dizzy.My chest hurts a bit.I clasped the rim of the tank with both hands: "My lung hurts, nephew."

He looked up at me, then threw the military newspaper away, stood up abruptly, and said in a panic, "Fourteen, Uncle Fourteen..."

I didn't hold back, and coughed violently, almost coughing out my lungs.The imperial nephew took my head into his arms, hugged my back, and patted me smoothly.

I grabbed my nephew's waist, thinking that it's a shame to throw it home, can I not take this bath today?

The emperor's nephew looked at me as if I was about to die.I coughed up a puddle of black blood on his snow-white and soft clothes, and I was very embarrassed: "I'm sorry, why don't you wash it again."

He turned around and poured hot water, took a cloth towel, and asked me to rinse and wipe my mouth.He brought another bowl of medicine for me to drink.He didn't say a word, I guessed and comprehended his spirit, and comforted him: "It will be fine if you cough up blood, don't worry."

He still didn't speak, and went to take off the shirt that was stained by my cough, and put on a red light robe.

The light was like a bean, only dimly illuminating one of his chins.His long hair was draped behind his shoulders, it was sparse and long, and he walked towards me.

I felt a little scared, and shrank under the water.

He stood in front of the bathtub and stretched out his hands to me: "Come out."

Why, I need someone to help me take a shower?Put an elderly grab bar in the tub like the old men do?I raised my eyebrows at him and said, "Get some clothes for Uncle."

He seemed to have forgotten this, and after hearing the words, he was quiet for a while, then turned to look for clothes.

I took the opportunity to climb out of the wooden vat frankly, the hot water soaked me dizzy and chest tight, my legs and feet were weak, and when I landed, I kicked the oil lamp on the ground with a slap.

... In the darkness, both the Emperor of Daxing and the King Liang of Daxing were a little confused.

I was the first to speak: "That...is there still a light?"

He walked towards me, lost his way, and bumped into me.I took a step back: "..."

He bent down to pick up the overturned lampstand, and the ends of his hair brushed my feet.

I took another half step back: "Give me the clothes first."

He straightened up, first touched my shoulder with one hand, as if he had confirmed my position, and then shook the clothes with the other hand, and it fell on me accurately.

I tied my clothes by myself, while he had gone to add oil and relighted the bean lamp.

I found that I was also wearing a red light robe, the clothes of the emperor's nephew.

The emperor's nephew called someone to come in to remove the bathtub, and pass in tea, warm water, towels and other things.The two rinsed their mouths and cleansed their faces, and tidied up again.

After finally cleaning up, I despise myself for being troublesome, so I don't want to disturb the emperor's nephew anymore, so I lay down quietly to sleep.

I saw that the emperor's nephew still had to read two military newspapers. I wondered when he would go to sleep and where he planned to sleep.It's better to sleep on the couch where Wei Yanliu lay, otherwise it's too crowded, it's okay to squat for a while during the lunch break, if you can't sleep well at night, you won't be energetic the next day.Thinking of this, I spread my limbs flat on my couch in peace of mind.

To be honest I didn't get much sleep.After about a stick of incense, I heard the rustling of the emperor's nephew, blew out the lamp, and sat beside me.He pushed me in and tucked me in again.Then he also lay down.

For a long time, I thought he should be asleep, but he suddenly said in a low voice, "Uncle Fourteen."

I was so scared that he found out that I was pretending to be asleep?If you ask me why I haven't fallen asleep, what should I say?Or is he dreaming again?

"When I was in the East Palace..."

The sentence structure is complete, the words are pronounced clearly, it is not a dream.

"Killed someone."

...Should I open my eyes?

He continued: "It's a few eunuchs. I buried the corpses in the flower bed behind Zhengmeng Hall. I often dream about them."

why did you kill them

"It's just a few eunuchs," he chuckled, "I'm so timid, I'm pretty worthless, right?"

They bullied you?

"Uncle Huang," he called me Uncle Huang, "if I die and be buried in the East Palace like that, how long will it take you to find out?"

I may find out when I think of sending you shortbread or winter clothes.

"It may take three to five months, or half a year." He seemed to turn his head to me suddenly, and sprayed his warm breath on my neck.

Is it my fault?

"If I die in Qingniling, how long will it take for you to find out?"

Why are you talking about death?

"You may never know." He rubbed the ring on my hand lightly, "Uncle, if there were no King Yan and King Jin, no mutiny, war, famine, floods and droughts... you would seal me as a good friend." King? You will let me stay in the palace forever, and send me something every three to five months or half a year, until you die or I die."

……

"Uncle Fourteen," he asked again, "Why did you come here?"

I'm asleep and can't answer you.

Probably my desire to fall asleep was too strong, and after a while I really fell asleep.

I had an uncivilized dream.I dreamed that I was taking a bath, and my nephew was wearing a red light robe and holding an oil lamp.He put the oil lamp on the ground, raised his legs and stepped into the water...

Early the next morning, I took the initiative to go to old doctor Xue: "Doctor, I took a medicinal bath yesterday and felt better, but the doctor who saw me before said that I have something wrong with my brain. Have you studied it?"

The old doctor stroked his goatee with one hand, and cleaned the blood-stained tweezers and pliers with the other. He gave me a contemptuous look: "Some people bleed and die, and some people are full of sorrow. Hehe."

……

Or I'll kill you again?

Can I still have face to live?

What's all this about?

I wandered in the camp, not daring to go back to the general's tent.Unexpectedly, as I was walking, I suddenly saw a lot of people surrounded by an open space, and I also went up to it, and saw the emperor's nephew gesturing with Baboon Song.

Baboon Song looked good at fighting, but was thrown to the ground by the emperor's nephew time and time again.I caught a glimpse of Xiao Guan in the crowd, so I squeezed over: "Xiao Guan."

Xiao Guan glanced at me, seemed a little embarrassed, and immediately turned his head back to the arena.To be honest, I was also embarrassed, but I had a thicker skin and forced a conversation: "General Song can't beat His Highness?"

He gritted his teeth and said, "Your Highness was taught by Mr. Wei."

I thought it was saying, "A person's horsemanship is taught by a scholar", which meant that the baboon Song didn't dare to do it, and was beaten on purpose.Although Liang Wang has read a lot of military books and strategies and is good at fighting, he didn't practice martial arts before the age of 15, and it has only been five years now. I didn't know that he had become an expert in single-handed combat.

Xiao Guan said again: "Mr. Wei came from a famous sword sect in Xizhou, and Song Fei came from a martial arts gym in the market. It's strange that he can fight well."

When the nephew saw me, he threw Baboon Song to the ground again, clapped his hands and walked towards me.He was wearing a black military uniform with a waist and a very thin dark red cloth wrapped around his wrists and ankles. The two thin edges of the red light robe underneath were exposed at the cross collar. A crown of silver and iron.

He stood in front of my face, sweat was still rolling down his temples, and he called out with a smile, "Uncle."

I raised my hand—Ma Dan What did I raise my hand for?

But he suddenly rubbed his face against my sleeve: "Where have you been?"

I withdrew my hand: "Well, find Dr. Xue and ask when it will be better."

The baboon Song had already got up tenaciously from the ground, limped over, looked at me, and shouted: "Little uncle! What's wrong with your rash? The eye circles are also dark, and I didn't sleep well last night. ?”

"It's better if the rash turns black, it's okay." I said calmly.

The emperor's nephew also looked at my face, and there was a trace of inquiry in his eyes: "Uncle didn't sleep last night?"

I hurriedly said, "When I fall asleep, I just have a nightmare. Sleeping is more tiring than waking up."

The imperial nephew was silent: "Do you want to go back and sleep for a while?"

There was silence everywhere, and everyone stared at me with hellish eyes, as if they were saying: "Who is this person? Not only can he take a nap, but he can even sleep back in the cage?"

For the sake of strict military discipline, I decided to refuse. Just as I was about to speak, a soldier suddenly ran over and said, "Your Highness, the battle report from the front line!"

The imperial nephew took the battle report, opened it, glanced at it, and handed it to me.

"!" Nephew, what are you doing to me!

I just caught it vainly and held it in my hand without looking at it.The emperor's nephew said: "The gray fox has withdrawn from Changhe Pass."

The generals were silent for a while.Xiao Guan broke the silence: "Let him run away again!"

Song Fei cursed, "Fuck his grandma!"

"You bastard, bah!"

"The grandson of Prince Jin!"

"What should we do now, Your Highness, shall we retreat?"

The emperor's nephew glanced at me: "Don't retreat. We will fight Jin Wang."

The generals were in an uproar:

"Hit! I've wanted to hit him for a long time!"

"This... Prince Jin is the prince of the town, we..."

"We didn't send troops according to the order, you coward are afraid!"

"This time, the Zhongzhou Army is in the lead, and the Zhongzhou Army was sent by the emperor! What are you afraid of!"

……

The emperor's nephew left silently amidst the debate among the crowd. Everyone was stunned and dared not follow, and they all winked at me.I stepped up to catch up with the emperor's nephew: "Mao Lang, why don't I find a way to get you from the capital to make a decree right now. My jade seal is lost, otherwise I can get one for you right now."

"Uncle Emperor," he turned his head slightly to look at me, and slowed down his pace, "If I'm not mistaken, General Zhao should be blocked at Changhe Pass by King Jin's army. King Jin allowed Gray Fox to come and go in and out of Daxing at will. When I ran into Gray Fox's army, this incident brought the matter to the capital, which exposed King Jin's background, and King Jin will definitely strike first..."

"What can he do?"

He took a deep look at me: "If the gray fox has seen through the identity of the emperor's uncle, he will definitely tell King Jin about it. If King Jin knows that the emperor's uncle is with me, I don't know how much trouble he will cause."

I didn't care and said: "The emperor is leaving the capital. He is nothing more than using troops to attack the capital, cooperating with Yin Zai to stage a coup, sending people to assassinate me by the way, or framing you to hold the emperor hostage, and gathering princes from all walks of life to come to 'King Qin'. "

"Isn't the emperor afraid?"

I thought for a while: "If I were in that palace gate now, I would be afraid. But here I am not afraid."

He stared at me: "Why?"

If it was five years ago, in order to establish a closer and friendly relationship with King Liang, I would have said: "Because Uncle Huang believes in you, with you here, Uncle Huang believes that King Jin's tricks will not succeed. With you by my side, Uncle Huang feel at ease."

But now I kicked the bumps on the road and gave him a bad look: "Where do you get so many 'why'?"
