I feel at ease

King Jing only stayed in Wenfengyuan for more than half an hour, and then a eunuch passed on the emperor's guidance.He tidied up and went to greet him at the gate of the mansion, but he heard the eunuch say again: "My lord, the emperor has gone to Wen'anxuan."

King Jing went straight to Wen Anxuan again, stepped into the gate of the meeting hall, and saw Wei Qi kneeling in the lower corner, and Emperor Wu Shun sitting in front of the case, flipping through the files, saw him come in, and threw the book on the table.

King Jing knelt down and said, "I don't know if the emperor will come, but I will be far away to welcome you."

Emperor Wu Shun said: "You really enjoy it, so you're promiscuous all day long... It seems that I'm bothering you!"

Emperor Wushun's voice was tepid, but it made people feel uneasy. King Jing got up and said, "My brother has some trivial matters, so don't bother the emperor."

Emperor Wu Shun didn't pay attention to his conflicting words, and said indifferently: "I heard that you have been diligent in political affairs recently, so it turns out that you are diligent in political affairs like this!"

King Jing sneered and said: "Which slave is talking such nonsense, the emperor should punish him for the crime of deceiving the emperor!"

Eunuch Ning hurriedly knelt down and said, "This slave deserves to die, this slave deserves to die."

King Jing laughed and said, "It turns out that it is Eunuch Ning. Eunuch Ning is the eunuch supervisor of Prince Jing's residence, but he is chewing his tongue in front of the emperor, so confusing right and wrong, how can I intercede for you?"

Eunuch Ning trembled in fright, kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, this servant dare not speak nonsense. When the Emperor asked about the prince's daily life, the servant thought that the prince had been in the meeting hall for a few hours recently, so he spoke bluntly. No deception!"

King Jing said again: "Eunuch Ning, why bother to quibble, the emperor saw it with his own eyes today, so how dare you say that the emperor is blind?"

Eunuch Ning is like a leaf in the wind.Emperor Wushun laughed angrily, and said lightly: "You are angry with me, and you use your slaves to play wild, and you will lose face as Prince Jing. If I ask Wei Congzhi, you should also shout at Wei Congzhi." Call to kill?"

King Jing was silent, Emperor Wushun said: "You all stand down, I have something to talk to King Jing."

Everyone retreated together, Fang Chengan stood up stiffly, struggled for a long time before retreating step by step, his limping movements finally caught the attention of Emperor Wu Shun, pointed at him and said, "Wait a minute."

Wei Qi stopped moving, then knelt down on the ground again, waiting for everyone to leave the door, Emperor Wu Shun said: "This is your murderous secret guard?"

King Jing sat sideways on the lower seat, and said coldly: "The emperor has many eyes and ears, so asking me is not unnecessary!"

Emperor Wu Shun only smiled and said: "He killed your pet servant, but you don't care about him?"

King Jing remained silent, Emperor Wu Shun said to Fang Cheng'an, "Raise your head."

Fang Cheng'an felt uncomfortable, and said in a low voice: "Report to the emperor, this servant has an ugly face, and he frightened the holy car."

Emperor Wu Shun listened to his words, and said with a smile: "I remember, last year Qiushou was saved by you. You were afraid that you would frighten the holy man, but I felt that I treated you poorly."

Fang Cheng'an said: "I dare not..."

Emperor Wu Shun said again: "Wufang, raise your head."

Fang Cheng'an raised his head, but did not dare to look down at Emperor Wu Shun.Emperor Wu Shun looked at his lowered eyebrows, and his heart moved slightly. He carefully looked at his nose and forehead, and at his slanted scar, and asked in a low voice: "What's your name?"

Fang Cheng'an said: "The slave's original name was Zhang Shan. Because he was originally a secret guard of the palace, he was changed to Wei Qi. Now His Royal Highness King Jing bestowed the name on Wei Qi."

Emperor Wu Shun nodded, and said again: "Eunuch Ning just said that your lord works diligently in the council hall, often for several hours, is it true?"

Fang Cheng'an said for a long while: "Report to the emperor, what Eunuch Ning said is true..."

Emperor Wushun said: "Then why does King Jing want to say that Eunuch Ning is talking nonsense and deceiving the king?"

Fang Chengan was speechless for a while, then bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, this servant dare not speak right and wrong of His Highness..."

King Jing's face was dark, and Emperor Wushun said: "I forgive you for your innocence."

Fang Cheng'an said: "Your Highness does spend several hours in Wen'anxuan every day. There is a meeting hall outside to handle official affairs, and a study room to read and write prose inside. When you are tired, you can take a rest in the living room. Eunuch Ning guards the second gate. Only His Highness It’s true to say that you don’t come out of Wen Anxuan. However, Your Highness may not only do one thing in Wen Anxuan, so I blame Eunuch Ning for talking nonsense, please learn from the emperor.”

King Jing turned his head and stared at Fang Cheng'an in amazement, his breath stuck in his throat.He saw that this servant usually spoke very little and acted indifferently, but he actually said such a sentence today. Emperor Wu Shun stared at Fang Cheng'an's lowered eyebrows, and felt that the words seemed to be innocent, but in fact, they hurt King Jing's face. , and the tone was slightly familiar, but it was an unidentifiable kind of familiarity.Feeling a little irritated in his heart, he didn't want to entangle with this matter anymore, and waved Fang Chengan to back down, Fang Chengan got up silently and retreated, Emperor Wu Shun stared at his lame leg, sighed slightly, and then spoke to Xiao Jing, his voice was unexpectedly He became more gentle: "You haven't entered the palace these few days, I just came to see you, not to find out your whereabouts on purpose. Why do you have to act like a fool when you see me?"

King Jing was waiting for Emperor Wushun's reprimand, but he did not expect him to be so peaceful, so he lowered his voice and said, "My brother knows."

Emperor Wu Shun said again: "That Wei Qi, what do you think?"

King Jing said: "This person behaves differently and has some blood, which is interesting."

Emperor Wushun was silent, and said after a long while: "I see that he is not afraid of your majesty, he speaks straightforwardly, and is quite skillful in his words... You should know the seriousness of the situation, and don't act arbitrarily."

Fang Cheng'an left the room, his face even paler, he had never spoken a word with Emperor Wu Shun in the past few years, today's hasty words aroused a pain in his dim mind.His heart was filled with pain and grief, his body and mind were at a loss, and his back was in excruciating pain, so he just stayed in the courtyard in a daze.

When King Jing sent Emperor Wushun away, he ordered people to beat Eunuch Ning twenty times.

Eunuch Ning knelt down and begged for mercy, but King Jing just smiled lightly: "You go to the emperor and talk too much, I won't beat you. But today the emperor protects you, tell me, should you beat me?"

Eunuch Ning propped his mouth up and said: "This servant wants to speak well in front of the emperor for the prince, but it will only cause trouble, and this servant is willing to punish."

King Jing sneered: "Hmph, is your expression willing?" He pointed at Fang Cheng'an casually, "It only seems like he is willing to be punished if he looks like that!"

Fang Chengan was kneeling in the courtyard at this moment, he knew that he had talked too much in front of Emperor Wushun just now, but what should he say?Talking fast for a while, but unexpectedly misfortune came out of it.

King Jing said: "Since you have received ten lashes, I will not beat you again. Just kneel until tomorrow morning."

Fang Chengan knelt still in the night.He has gone through hardships, and this punishment is not difficult to bear, but because of the injury and the night cold, he developed a fever.

In a trance, he felt the shadow of the figure shaking, opened his eyes and saw that it was a masked person, as soon as the person approached, Fang Chengan said, "Wei Jiu, what are you doing here?"

Wei Jiu said: "Fifteen is on duty today, seeing that you have been whipped, let me give you some medicine."

Fang Cheng'an smiled and said, "A little injury, why bother."

Wei Jiu said: "Your body can't stop tossing, you'd better be careful."

Fang Cheng'an didn't say much, and asked Wei Jiu to apply a plaster for reducing swelling and pain.Wei Jiu felt that his body was burning hot, and said: "You have a fever, and you still need some soup and medicine, just wait, I will get it right away."

Fang Chengan held him down, and said in a low voice: "Wen Anxuan is heavy, it's not appropriate to come and go, I have a small fever, I will ask the doctor for medicine tomorrow, maybe I will leave at dawn."

Wei Jiu thought for a while, seeing that Fang Chengan was firm, finally nodded and said, "Be careful yourself."

Fang Cheng'an waited until dawn, and wanted to get up and go back to the residence, but his legs were disabled, and he couldn't even straighten after kneeling, and after struggling for a long time, he couldn't get up.

He turned over and lay on the ground, then remembered that many years ago when the fifth prince met the emperor in the school exam, he was punished to kneel when he couldn't answer.

In the main courtyard of the school, the fifth prince was kneeling upright, so he went to kneel behind the fifth prince and said: "His Highness's fault is also my fault, if His Highness is punished, I shall be punished too."

After the two of them knelt for punishment, he and Xiao Jing sat on the chair together and asked Xiao Yue to take the medicine. Xiao Jing said: "What a fool, you still come forward before it's too late for others to hide."

Fang Cheng'an said: "Is it so difficult for me to see you kneeling there alone?"

While rubbing his knees for him, Xiao Yue said: "He is kneeling there, wouldn't you think of other ways? Ask me or Empress An Fei for help, and you will not suffer from such flesh and blood."

"Don't be so stupid in the future. You should know that a gentleman doesn't build a dangerous wall. It's nothing for me to suffer this punishment. It's not worth seeing you and me being punished."

Now, no one would rub his knees and talk softly, so he could only think back to the past to resist the unbearable pain of the present.
