Has Your Majesty abdicated today?

Yu Guo cried: "Your Majesty treats the younger one so sincerely, but the younger one hides something from His Majesty, it really deserves death!"

The two of them had been talking about Yuguo's mother's cough earlier, Qi Chu saw Yuguo crying bitterly and remorseful, thinking that he stole the things from Qianyuan Palace and resold them in desperation in order to treat his mother's illness, and was cared by him just now. Impressed, this is the plan to admit his mistake in front of him.

Qi Chu thought in his heart: Since Yuguo wants to admit his mistake, then he will give him a chance to make it clear so that he won't be tortured by the guilt in his heart.

Although there are many things in the emperor's private treasury, they cannot be sold off, they can only be rewarded to others or used by himself.Qi Chu is a rough man who chews peonies. For him, there is no difference between eating in a white porcelain bowl and eating in a precious sweet white glaze fine porcelain bowl... All antiques that cannot be realized are of no value to him!

If Yuguo stole things from the palace to sell, and sold the money to treat his mother's illness, it would be considered that these dead things saved someone's life, better than putting them on the antique shelf as a display... Besides, if this is the case, he can still do it for a while. Let's discuss with Yuguo how to sell the treasures in the palace...

For a moment, Qi Chu seemed to see a golden mountain waving towards him, he suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said to Yuguo: "You don't have to blame yourself, I know you have a lot of unavoidable things to do this."

Yuguo's tears became more violent, and he sobbed: "Your Majesty has always been lenient to His Majesty, but the little one feels more and more ashamed."

Qi Chu said: "It's not a big deal at all. If it makes you feel better to say it, then you can tell me. Just stand up and say it, don't kneel."

Yuguo raised his head slightly, and saw His Majesty's eyes full of pity, he stood up and whispered, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compassion." Then he looked around and said, "Your Majesty, this is not a place to talk, Mr. Take your Majesty to a secluded place."

Qi Chu agreed, Yuguo has a very strong self-esteem, people often pass by in the imperial garden, and the surrounding flowers and branches are hidden, maybe there is a big horn standing in the corner behind any plant, and the palace is filled with Yuguo's confession Yes, at that time, Yuguo is afraid that he will commit suicide by jumping into the river.

Yuguo took Qi Chu to the Huxin Pavilion in front of Hanguang Hall. The Huxin Pavilion was surrounded by the lake on three sides and connected to the shore by a long bridge. It was a good place where no one would eavesdrop.

The two went up to the Huxin Pavilion, and Qi Chu said, "Say it."

Seeing Yuguo kneeling on the ground with a "plop", before Qi Chu could wake him up, he heard Yuguo say abruptly: "Your Majesty, the person who poisoned you is Wenlin!!!"

Qi Chu: "..." He was a little bit taken aback, he never thought that what Yuguo was going to talk about was actually this matter.

Before he could speak, he heard Yuguo quickly release another bomb: "Your Majesty, the grand master is behind this matter! I have seen Tong Chen and Wen Lin talking alone before!! Your Majesty must Be careful with these two!!!”

After Yuguo made a generous statement, he carefully peeked at His Majesty's face, and saw him staring at him in silence without sadness or joy, and asked without haste, "How do you know this?"

Since he has made up his mind to open his heart to the little emperor, there is no need to hide many things, so he said frankly: "...Since the last time the little one was given a board by the grand master and recuperated for a while, the people close to your majesty have changed to She loved Daiqiu and Tuxia, but she often asked the younger one to serve her, but since Wen Lin came, the younger one has completely fallen out of favor with His Majesty... If it wasn't for his flattery, how could the younger one be easily rejected by His Majesty? I am so dissatisfied, so I often pay attention to his every word and deed..."

The following words seemed a bit embarrassing, Yuguo lowered his head not to look at Qi Chu, and said: "The young one pays attention to him all the time, in order to find his fault and make him completely fall out of favor with His Majesty... until one time the young one saw Wen Lin Met alone with Tongchen, although the two of them met only once, but why did the grand master’s confidant, Master Tongchen, have anything to do with a low-level eunuch in Qianyuan Hall, so the younger one suspected that Wen Lin might be the grand master But the younger one was only suspicious... Until a few days before His Majesty was poisoned, the younger one saw Wen Lin going in and out of His Majesty's study..."

"Wen Lin's rank is low. He used to serve in the outer hall. Occasionally, His Majesty would ask him to serve in the study, but the study has always been cleaned by the little ones. That day he sneaked into the study and took the cleaning tools to cover it up. People have to doubt... Later His Majesty was poisoned, and then I suspected that Wen Lin did it."

After Yuguo finished speaking, seeing that Qi Chu hadn't spoken for a long time, he felt extremely anxious. When he was about to speak, he heard His Majesty say indifferently: "Yuguo, get up. These things alone are not enough to prove that the Grand Master and Wen Lin conspired together. poison me..."

Yuguo was eager to argue for himself, and said: "Your Majesty, the little one said..."

Qi Chu made a silent gesture, and said, "I know you care about the Lord, but you have to give evidence for everything..."

Yuguo looked aggrieved, and said: "If your majesty doesn't believe it, you can go to the study to check it out. Since Wen Lin went in last time, the little one hasn't touched the position of the books in the study. The daily cleaning is just to wipe away the dust... ..."

Qi Chu waved his hands and said indifferently: "Yuguo, it has been more than a month now, and the evidence has long since been annihilated. For the sake of harmony in the palace, let's stop this matter. I just pretended not to listen to what you said today." arrive."

Yuguo did not give up, and mournfully said: "Your Majesty..."

His Majesty lowered his head and looked down at him, and said sternly: "You know what happened today, so don't tell anyone else about it. If anyone knows about it, report it to the Grand Master, and you will die without burial." landed!"

Yuguo wiped away his tears and said, "I understand, little one."

Qi Chu patted him on the shoulder and said, "Let's go, go back."

Maybe it was because of the strong wind by the lake, when he walked, he felt his hands and feet were icy cold.

Without saying a word, Yuguo followed Qi Chu back to Qianyuan Hall, and Daiqiu was already waiting for His Majesty at the door.

Seeing His Majesty coming back from afar, he said happily: "Your Majesty has come back. The Grand Master's Mansion sent a jade skin osmanthus cake, which is said to be a popular taste in the Southern Dynasties. Your Majesty, come and taste it."

Yuguo had just spoken bad things about the grand master to the little emperor, so he felt guilty when he heard the name of the grand master. He glanced at the little emperor quietly and found that he was not affected by what he said today. The teacher sent the sweet-scented osmanthus cake with a happy face, and said to Dai Qiu with great interest: "The grand master has arranged a lot of strategies for me today, and I thought he was angry. How could I expect him to turn around and give me the sweet-scented osmanthus cake?"

Dai Qiu babbled and said: "Your Majesty, the grand master treats you like a master like a father. He is a strict teacher in study and a loving father in life. Among other things, you were poisoned a few days ago, and the grand master guarded you every night. I don’t know how to take care of you in front of the couch, even the little ones are touched, how can you say that you will be a teacher for one day and a father for life.”

Qi Chu said with a smile: "You must not mention these words in front of the grand master, he does not mind being my father, and I am afraid that the late emperor will come to him at night!"

Dai Qiu said helplessly: "Your Majesty, you are being mischievous again, so be careful!" With a frowning face, she clasped her hands together and bowed towards the void, saying: "Don't blame the former emperor, Your Majesty is a child who speaks without restraint, child speaks without restraint!"

Qi Chu waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, I'm going to taste the sweet-scented osmanthus cake sent by the grand master." Turning his head, he said to Yuguo, "Yuguo, you also come to taste the rare cake from the grand master's mansion. thing."

Your Majesty doesn't care about what he said just now. I don't know if he doesn't believe him or trusts the Grand Master and Wen Lin too much. That's right. Although Your Majesty treats him well, in the end he is no match for Wen Lin in His Majesty's mind. Yuguo sighed inwardly, regretting his impulsive denunciation just now.

But he had already said it, so he could only beg His Majesty not to tell the Grand Master, and at this moment he did not dare to show any traces in front of His Majesty, nodded silently, and followed.

In the past two days, His Majesty seems to have fallen in love with studying, and he spends every day in the study making up strategies and theories.

It was already noon that day when Qi Chu finished writing the policy theory, and when he put away his pen and was about to eat, he suddenly remembered something and said to Yuguo: "Yesterday Ningzhou paid tribute to some golden osmanthus tea. Osmanthus fragrans has the effect of relieving cough and reducing phlegm. It is good for your mother's cough." The disease has a relieving effect, I will reward you with some and you can take it home."

Seeing that His Majesty treated him as usual, Yuguo was moved and let go of the panic and anxiety of the past few days. Although His Majesty did not believe what he said, but with his kind heart, he would definitely not tell the Grand Master and Wen Lin what he said. .

On the second day, if he was not on duty, he took the golden osmanthus tea rewarded by His Majesty back home to honor his mother.

In the morning, Qi Chu was reading in the study, when suddenly Dai Qiu came to report that Doctor Ye had come to ask for a pulse.Qi Chu was too lazy to move, so Xuan Ye Yaohan went directly to the study to get a pulse.

His Majesty always wrote to Imperial Physician Chong Ye, and after the pulse diagnosis, Imperial Physician Ye did not leave, and chatted with His Majesty about the scenery of the Southern Dynasties.

Qi Chu remembered that a new batch of books had arrived in Wenyuan Pavilion a few days ago, and there was a "Southwest Herbs" in it that recorded some rare plants in the southwest, so he asked Dai Qiu to fetch it and present it to Imperial Physician Ye.

After Dai Qiu went to Wenyuan Pavilion to look for books, His Majesty and Imperial Physician Ye continued to chat in the study, and they chatted for an hour before letting Imperial Physician Ye leave.

Early this morning, His Majesty rewarded the empress with a Xiangxiu palace dress and asked Wen Lin to send it to the empress's palace. The reward was a fat job, and the empress was always generous. Wen Lin left happily after getting the errand. Seeing Imperial Physician Ye coming out of His Majesty's study, he was startled, and hurriedly glanced at Qi Chu and Ye Yaohan, and found that the two looked happy and chatted happily.

Wen Lin listened carefully, and felt a little relieved when he heard the words "Southern Dynasty" and "Pinghu Qiuyue".

Qi Chu glanced at the tense Wen Lin without moving his expression, and asked Dai Qiu to send Ye Yaohan out.

Seeing Qi Chu enter the study, Wen Lin hurriedly followed into the study and returned to his command. While speaking, he looked around quietly and found that the study was still the same as before, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Qi Chu said: "You have done a good job, but since the queen has already rewarded you, I will not reward you."

Wen Lin laughed and said, "It's a blessing for the young one to serve His Majesty, how dare you ask for a reward?"

Qi Chu looked at Wen Lin inquisitively and said, "Do you really like serving in front of me?"

Wen Lin's back felt cold, and he could hardly maintain the calm expression on his face, he said: "Why did your majesty say that..."

Qi Chu laughed suddenly, and said, "You just say whether you like it or not."

Wen Linbiao said faithfully: "Your Majesty is the god who saves the little ones from the water and fire. Your Majesty can do whatever the little ones want, even if you want the little ones, you will give them life."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at His Majesty quietly, only to find that he was looking at himself with a smile that was not a smile. After hearing him finish speaking, he suddenly said: "I don't want your life. Since I want you to do whatever you want, you can do it today. Tidy up my study."

Wen Lin had long wanted to find a way to enter the study room, but since His Majesty was poisoned, Dai Qiu has strictly controlled the Qianyuan Hall, especially the study room, where there is no way to enter at will. There is no way to tidy up the rice paper, and now he is overjoyed to hear His Majesty's request, but he can't express his willingness too much, so he said: "Your Majesty, the study is usually organized by Yuguo, and the small ones don't know much. If you read a book and disturb His Majesty's reading business, then you deserve to die."

Qi Chu said with a smile: "Just now I said that I would give my life to me, but now I even push back on tidying up the study. It can be seen that what I said just now is to deceive me. Yuguo has something at home recently, so tidying up the study is not as focused as usual. Today, I was looking for a student who wrote big characters, and it took me a lot of effort to find it. I was about to scold him when I suddenly remembered that he was not on duty today. I came to clean it up, but the study really needs to be tidied up, you are always careful, so I want you to clean it up, since you think it is difficult to do it, then I will let Tu Xia come, he is also careful in doing things."

Wen Lin hurriedly said: "The little one is just joking with His Majesty, it is my duty to do my best for His Majesty."

Qi Chu said: "Then you can tidy up, I'll go have some snacks first."

Fang was about to leave when he heard Wen Lin calling him, "Your Majesty."

Qi Chu turned to look at him, Wen Lin looked a little unnatural, and said with concern: "Your Majesty, remember to wash your hands before eating snacks. The ink on this book is poisonous. If you don't wash your hands, you may get sick."

There seemed to be a flash of sarcasm in Qi Chu's eyes, he smiled and said: "I just said that you can't be more meticulous." After finishing speaking, he left the study.

……

It was almost September, the heat had completely subsided, and the cool breeze had blown up at night, so Qi Chu went to bed early that night.

It's just that he didn't sleep well, dreaming in a trance that on the day of the Longevity Festival, Xie Fan killed the horse, his hands were so steady, his eyes were so cruel...

The Qi Chu in the dream was not the emperor, he turned into the little red horse, with blood gushing out all over his body, his throat was clogged with blood, and at the end of his life, he couldn't even utter a whine...

He woke up in suffocation and couldn't sleep anymore. He stood up barefoot, quietly walked to the window, and pushed the window open. The moonlight outside the window shone coldly on him, and Qi Chu shivered.

The author has something to say: Qi Chu: I will be a teacher for a day and a father for life, grand master, I will remember it.

Xie Di: It is clear that one day is a teacher and a husband is for life!If you don't know such a simple saying, you will be fined to copy it [-] times!
