In the summer of the 22nd year of Yuanzhang, the emperor of Jizhou, a neighboring country, died. He was known as Emperor Jicheng in history.

This news is definitely not good news for Qingzhou.

Because of the change of power since ancient times, it has always been accompanied by bloody storms. Although Qingzhou, which is connected to Jizhou, will not be affected by the government, it is always worried about changes in the border. At this time, there is no other way but to strengthen the border defense.

Emperor Ji Cheng prepared twelve life-saving ministers for the young emperor's eldest son, and entrusted them when he was dying. This love for his son was fully displayed.

Originally, the kingdoms of Kyushu thought that the prosperous regent of Jizhou would not let it go, and maybe they would turn the world upside down.

But as time went by, Jizhou gradually stabilized.

As if afraid of long nights and dreams, the new emperor succeeded to the throne soon, and all the countries in Kyushu took the initiative to use the magic camp to rush to Jizhou.

On the Qingzhou side, the emperor sent the second and fifth princes there, leaving the seventh prince who has been active outside for the past two years.

When others saw His Majesty's arrangement, they couldn't help but think about it, and made a lot of guesses.

The eldest prince's biological mother came from a humble background, and things like the succession of the new emperor of a neighboring country are obviously out of his turn.

Moreover, because of the maritime incidents in Shaohai and Yellow Sea, disaster relief matters are heavy, and the eldest prince is in charge of the household department, so it is inconvenient for him to leave at this moment due to official business.

The second prince's biological mother is Concubine Xiande from the Duke's Mansion of Anguo, her mother is loved by His Majesty, and the second prince himself is also a man of culture and martial arts, extraordinary in martial arts, and won the favor of the emperor.

The fifth prince is the son of Concubine Shu, and he is no less conceited than his elder brother. He represents Qingzhou royal family as an envoy to neighboring countries, which is justified.

Although the sixth prince's biological mother is only Jieyu, she is the adopted son of Concubine Yao, but he is still young and has no experience of going out of Beijing, so it is not surprising to stay in the imperial city.

Only the Seventh Prince, although young, went to the coast of the Yellow Sea and Qiongning Zhenguo Temple earlier to pray for blessings, and even received the Yuren royal family on the bank of the Zhuo River, and went to Jingzhou to see the married couple. The eldest princess, but now she can't touch it at all.

After thinking about it carefully, everyone felt that His Majesty made such a decision with deep meaning.

The mothers of the second prince and the seventh prince are both from the Duke of Anguo's mansion. If the emperor lets their two brothers go, then the second prince's line will immediately overwhelm the fifth prince's line. I'm afraid there will be clues as to who the crown prince will be. up.

Now that the second prince and the fifth prince are on a mission to Jizhou together, people secretly wonder whether the emperor's choice for the prince is among these two princes.

No matter how the outside world guessed, the reason why Qi Jing didn't go was actually because he was sick.

In fact, after the news came from Jizhou, the Seventh Prince was sick in bed. Since he had come to this event every summer for the past few years, although the empress dowager and the emperor felt distressed, they were more or less accustomed to it.

It was only after the imperial physician reported his pulse to the palace that they heard that Lao Qi was seriously ill this time, and there were a lot of risks compared to previous years.

Now to say which prince is the most favorite of the elders, it must be the Seventh Prince. Once he gets sick, he can't go to Jizhou, even the palace.

Qi Jun went out of the palace and went to see his son in person. Seeing his haggard appearance, he could only comfort him and said, "Your second brother and fifth brother are going to Qingzhou for business. Not to mention the long and difficult journey, you will turn back soon. So I can't talk about going out to play... You, I don't want to let your grandmother and I worry about it, just recuperate now, and there will be opportunities to go out in the future."

Afterwards, the Queen Mother also sent the female officials around her to visit the Seventh Prince many times and asked about his situation.

It is a great favor to have His Majesty visit the palace and the Empress Dowager take care of him. No matter which prince it is placed on, it is a matter of honor.

Even though the seventh prince was still ill, he was still grateful, and repeatedly expressed that he would take good care of his illness and recover quickly, so that the emperor's grandmother and father would not worry about him.

The emperor and empress dowager let those who thought the seventh prince fell out of favor immediately understand His Majesty's attitude.

It's just that the Seventh Prince missed this great opportunity due to illness, and it's inevitable that some people feel sorry for it, and some people gloat over it.

The succession of the new emperor of the neighboring country is a much more important foreign matter than accepting the sharks.

……

No matter how much the outside world is discussing, when the second and fifth brothers will leave, how much sulk the sixth brother will get, and what grievances the eldest brother may have, these are not within the scope of Qi Jing's thinking.

Because what everyone didn't know was that Qi Jing was actually injured not because of an old illness, but because he heard the news of Jizhou, rushed to his heart, and couldn't control his emotions for a while, so he hurt his body.

Qi Jing survived the first few days, and the situation was not so dangerous.He recovered slowly and was always worried.

Shaoxuan is like a majestic door god, guarding him every day, asking him to rest more and not allowing him to bother, he is stricter than the seventh prince's father.

Others persuaded what should be done, and Xiao Shiyi and Xiao Akabane did everything they could to entertain their relatives, but with little success.

When he first heard the news of the Qingzhou Emperor's death, Qi Jing couldn't believe his ears. He even wondered if someone had misrepresented the news.

But when he entered the palace anxiously the next day and got the exact situation from his father, Qi Jing finally confirmed that the Emperor Qingzhou was really dead.

——However, in the memory of his previous life, the Emperor Cheng, whose biological mother was invisible and who only obtained the throne because of the death of his brother, obviously did not die at this time...

The sudden death of Emperor Jizhou gave Qi Jing, who had been going smoothly since his rebirth, a blow to his head.

He didn't care how the other party died, he only felt that death was inevitable, and the situation might not be developing in a good direction.

He had to suspect that he might have made all his efforts, but he still couldn't change his destiny, and he might even face death earlier than in his previous life.

Things hurt their kind, the pain and fear of experiencing death unstoppable hit his heart, tugging at Qi Jing's heart, making him confused and in pain.

——If he can't escape the fate of death, what about Eleven and Xiao Chiyu, what about Shaoxuan, and what about this mansion? !

Overwhelmed by such self-questions one after another, Qi Jing realized that she was not as free and easy as she imagined.

In the past, I thought that if I was reborn once, I should be happy, and I was too self-righteous.

Anxiety arises from caring, fear arises from cherishing... He is no longer alone, no longer lonely, and while becoming strong, he also increases his weakness.

There are some things that he can't tell the empress dowager's female officer, he can't tell his father... he can't even tell Shaoxuan.

When fear and weakness occupy his heart, those things that once gave him strength may instead become the most painful part of his heart.

……

With Qi Jing's illness, the Seventh Prince's Mansion, which was bustling with Ruoli and Rong Guan's marriage, became very quiet for a while, and even His Majesty the Emperor came to visit him in person, but it couldn't bring much joy.

Ruosu, who was locked in the house waiting to be dealt with, naturally no one had time to punish him, so he could only continue to be locked up like this.

Xiao Shiyi has always been the one who loves his brother the most. He who had been chasing Xiao Chiyu all day long returned to Qi Jing's side, and sometimes he lay quietly on the couch, accompanying the bedridden Qi Jing in a daze.

"Brother, I'll touch it for you on Eleven." Seeing the uncomfortable expression on his face, the little guy stretched out his chubby hand to gently touch his forehead and face.

——When he was unwell when he was a child, my brother would touch him like this...it feels comfortable and heals up!

It is really uncomfortable to feel hot in summer without using ice. Not only the coolness brought by Xiao Shiyi's hands makes people happy, but his actions make Qi Jing feel caring.

The irritability in Qi Jing's heart and the discomfort in her body seemed to be relieved by this.

The Seventh Prince tried his best to pull out a smile: "Well, Eleven, let me touch my brother, and touch my hand, too?"

He actually didn't want Xiaoshi to see his face, and he didn't want the child to feel worried and scared.

Little Eleven didn't doubt that he was there, so he immediately nodded his head, crawled over and put his hand under the quilt, and touched his hand gently.

Little Akabane was still obsessed with exploring the house at first, but in the past few days, she felt that her uncle was strange, and she also calmed down.

It squatted next to Qi Jing's pillow, leaning on the pillow and obediently watched the little uncle talking to the seventh uncle, with a naive innocence in its small round eyes.

Little Akabane was still too young to know what sickness was or what discomfort was. It was just that she was naturally keen and felt that the atmosphere in the room had changed.

In addition, the seventh uncle who always loves to laugh and move has been lying on the bed, and the younger uncle is also unhappy with him. It sees it in his eyes, and he feels a little panic in his heart.

"Chirp, chirp, chirp~" the little guy made a weak voice, which sounded like he had lost the spirit of the past and looked listless.

Although Qi Jing was suffering physically, she still asked it: "What's wrong with Qiuqiu?"

When Xiao Chiyu heard his uncle's voice, he immediately jumped to his neck, put his little head against Qi Jing's shoulder to comfort him, and continued to "tweet".

The voice was still immature, but it actually revealed a strong force, as if believing that uncle would get better, smiling at him and playing with him.

Qi Jing closed his eyes - even for them, he shouldn't give up so easily!

……

People in the palace couldn't find it, and people in the house couldn't detect it, but Shaoxuan could feel Qi Jing's unusualness.

Because he didn't understand Qi Jing's unknown past, Shaoxuan didn't understand why Qi Jing's eyes were full of confusion and sadness.

However, he can be sure that Qi Jing's emergency this time was not due to physical reasons.

In the past few years, Qi Jing has always suffered from minor illnesses in Xia Tian. After he awakened his ancestors to return to their souls, those who knew the secret naturally believed that this was indeed a precursor to the awakening of martial arts.

Because there is little eleven by his side, Qi Jing, as an elder brother, must teach by example and not be a bad example, and Shaoxuan is watching from the side, not giving him a chance to wear down his energy. The Seventh Prince has always had a regular schedule, a healthy diet, and a healthy body. His quality is getting better and better, and his riding and archery skills are getting more and more handsome, crushing the sixth prince.

Now that the Seventh Prince has awakened, there are no signs before awakening, and his body should slowly recover, so let's talk about the old and persistent diseases of the past few years.

Before Ruoli and Rongguan's evening ceremony, Qi Jing didn't show any symptoms of illness, and his mental state was surprisingly good.

So it's not surprising that the people in the palace don't know, how could Shaoxuan, the person next to his pillow, miss every little bit of his changes.

Shaoxuan always felt that there was something on Qi Jing's mind.

And this incident, because of the death of Emperor Jizhou, caused great pressure on Qi Jing, so he fell ill.

Shaoxuan felt that if there was no one to share the pressure with Qi Jing, it would take him a long time to recover, and it would definitely cause irreparable damage to his body.

Just when he was about to take the initiative to ask, Qi Jing seemed to have made a sudden decision, and said to him:

"Shaoxuan, I once had a dream..."
