Little, I hope the Seventh Prince pays attention to what he says. "Lai Shou frowned and looked at Zuo Qiuyan and said.

"...What about this Marquis?" Seeing that Laishhou was only looking at Zuo Qiuyan, Gu Xi seemed to ignore him completely.

"Your Majesty has issued an order that no one except Zuoqiu's family is allowed to enter. Don't blame the Marquis."

"It's okay," Gu Xi said with a smile when he heard the words, "Then I will trouble the Seventh Prince to take care of me."

Zuo Qiuyan nodded, and then Shou opened the door, a strong smell of medicine almost choked him, entered the room, the first thing he saw was Xuan Zhi standing guard at the side.When Zuoqiu Yan saw him, his face darkened, and the latter kept his head down, so he didn't pay attention.

There was a coughing sound, Zuo Qiuyan walked in subconsciously, opened the curtain, and clearly saw Zuo Qiujie lying weakly on the couch, his face was as white as a piece of paper, his eyes were slightly opened, and Chang Guang was lying on the couch weakly. Holding a bowl at the side, he was feeding him the medicine mouthful by mouthful.Most conspicuously, his right ear was wrapped in a thin layer of gauze.

"Father." Zuo Qiuyan stepped forward and knelt down.

When Zuoqiu Jie saw him, there was a trace of strange emotion in his eyes, but he seemed tired, and he didn't want to say anything, he just nodded and smiled.

Seeing this, Zuo Qiuyan held his hand, and the latter trembled slightly, his eyelids trembling.

"What's wrong with Father's ears?" Zuo Qiuyan leaned closer, his even breath brushed warmly on Zuo Qiujie's face, so warm that it made him shiver.While Chang Guang was on the sidelines, he didn't say much. Instead, he lifted the curtain and went out, leaving only the father and son behind.

"It's all right, cough cough..." Zuo Qiujie came back to the palace, due to the hot and cold weather, he fell ill with a cough. "Small injury."

Zuo Qiuyan let him go, and took a closer look at his right ear intentionally, and could vaguely see some blood stains under the gauze, oozing from the ear hole, so he knew it was definitely not a minor injury.He said: "Father has finished using the medicine."

"There is one more post."

"Yan'er, let's serve the father." After speaking, he turned around and took the medicine bowl from Chang Guang outside the curtain. He saw the black medicine floating with bitter smoke, and asked, "Is there any candy?"

"Your Highness Seventh, here we are."

Zuoqiu Yan took the bag of candies, walked in again with the porcelain bowl, placed it on the desk beside the bed, and then stepped forward to help Zuoqiu Jie up, clearly feeling that the body was touching My palms were slightly stiff at first, and then I seemed to be injured, so I relaxed as if resigned to my fate, and sat on the couch obediently at his mercy.

Zuoqiu Yan's mood seemed to resonate with a chord, and he suddenly became enlightened, very comfortable, and the corners of his mouth curled up a rare arc called a smile.

"Father, come, take a sip of the medicine and eat a piece of candy." Zuo Qiuyan sat in front of the bed, picked up a spoon to scoop up a small amount of medicine juice, and slowly brought it to Zuo Qiujie.

Seeing Zuo Qiuyan's rare gentle expression at this time, Zuo Qiujie was slightly dazed, and suddenly thought that he knew very little about Zuo Qiuyan, so this subtle sense of strangeness was justified.Thousands of uncontrollable memories are about to flood up after reading this, he subconsciously closes his eyes, resisting everything in front of him.

"Father, you need to drink medicine to get better."

Feeling out of composure, he quickly opened his eyes, without looking at Zuo Qiuyan, he swallowed the concoction directly, and after the bitter taste filled his mouth, it became a piece of sweet candy.He squinted his eyes, and caught a glimpse of Zuo Qiuyan's green jade wrench on his left thumb in the mist, like a ripple in a lake.

"A good medicine is bitter, but it must also be sweet.

After that, the two of them remained silent, but they seemed to have a tacit understanding, until the bottom of the porcelain bowl was touched, Zuo Qiuyan got up and said: "Father, please take good care of the dragon body, don't worry about it for a few days .”

"Xie Yan'er is concerned."

The two said a few more words, and Zuo Qiuyan withdrew first.Zuo Qiujie sat upright on the bed, the sunlight cast on his face, leaving black shadows under his eyelashes.

"Come on."

"Your Majesty, what's the matter?" Chang Guang walked in and asked.

"Bring the latest treasury record."

"Yes."

A few days later, morning.

"Every fool!!!"

The pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the case table were splashed on the ground, and the jade seal of the town country was not spared.The officials under the resplendent palace were silent, tremblingly looking at the person on the dragon chair.

"Guo Yuan."

"The minister is here." The emaciated Hubu Shangshu crouched down on his stomach.

"What have you been doing during the few months I've been in Jiangnan?"

"Chen, Chen has been dealing with the revenue and expenditure of the treasury with several ministers."

"How do you explain the loss of 3 taels of gold?"

"This, this..." Guo Yuan was so anxious that he broke out in a cold sweat, he hesitated and couldn't utter a word.

"The water conservancy on the outskirts of Changling has never been built, and..." Zuoqiu Jie glanced coldly, "Why hasn't Weiling been completed?"

Weiling, the mausoleum of the five princes.

Zuo Qiujie ordered it to be completed within half a year, and it has been six months since then, and Weiling is only in the early stages of regulation, and there is still a long way to go before completion.

"This..." Guo Yuan was as anxious as an ant in a hot pot, "It's because someone in the treasury tampered with..."

"Hands and feet?" Zuo Qiujie sneered, "You've been doing hands and feet for so long, what have you been doing?"

"minister……"

"Report to Your Majesty." He Xiang, who had been on the side of the court hall, suddenly knelt down flatteringly, and respectfully presented a stack of documents.After Zuo Qiujie took it, he glanced at ten lines, his eyes became more and more cold, and he said, "Where is Yu Junhou?"

"Master Gu is in poor health, and he is sick at home."

At this time, Zuoqiu Yan saw that the situation was not good, so he quickly signaled Hu Bubo with his eyes.The latter immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have been informed of the operation of Weiling's funds not long ago. I found out that Mr. Mu Hua, who was in charge of this matter, embezzled nearly a thousand taels of gold privately, but the people below did not dare to report it due to his power. .”

Zuo Qiujie took the document, read it carefully, and there were icy crumbs in his eyes, and said: "So Yu Junhou and Mu Hua corrupted together?"

"Your Majesty, please be enlightened!" Ma Zhi said with a serious expression, "Yu Junhou has always had a heart of benevolence, and he has no reason to make money, so he will not do these things!"

"Your Majesty, please enlighten me!" Zheng Lie also stood up and begged.Then some courtiers pleaded for mercy.

In the end, even the Seventh Prince Zuoqiu Yan said: "There is no solid evidence of Yu Junhou's corruption, please consider it!"

Zuoqiujie looked at Zuoqiuyan, and for some reason, seeing him at this time, he lost the grudges he had before, perhaps because he had just escaped from death and returned to the palace. Not surprisingly.What's more, Zuo Qiujie's feelings for Zuo Qiuyan have always been at a very delicate threshold.

It is better to say that it is a father and son who have a weak relationship, or a child who is at odds - for Zuo Qiujie, he has always been a special existence. Now, it's time for the wings to be so hard that he can't easily snap them off—at this moment, he actually has some feelings, which doesn't make Zuoqiujie so annoying.

But Zuo Qiuyi's complexion was not good at this time, but he remained calm, because he clearly understood that the case of Mu Hua's corruption was solid evidence, and any more defenses would only make Zuo Qiujie more angry.And all of this must have been done by Zuo Qiuyan behind the scenes, Zuo Qiuyi felt even more restless after thinking about it, he didn't expect Zuo Qiuyan to have done so many tricks in the dark.So this time I must defeat Gu Xi and make Zuoqiuyan lose all his wings.

"Okay." Zuo Qiujie nodded, and ordered with his usual expression, "Gao Run, go and investigate Mu Hua's corruption case without delay."

"The minister takes orders!"

"Back to court." After speaking, he got up and walked backwards, Chang Guang hurriedly accompanied him on the right side.

Seeing this, Zuoqiu Yan couldn't help squinting his eyes slightly - Chang Guang always walks on the right side of Zuoqiujie for the convenience of holding a pen or doing things on weekdays, but today he can go to the left side, could it be... He has sharp eyes Suddenly noticed the thin gauze in the right ear hole hidden by Zuoqiu Jieqing silk, and suddenly realized.

A smile and a relationship with the world, a thought and a tranquility, a sigh is ridiculous, and a whimper is sad.

Father, why are you bothering?

【Four Emperors Mansion】

At the end of summer and the beginning of coolness, the fire is shining, the small courtyard has a folk recipe, and a small fan is lightly blowing, bringing in a clear breeze. A woman sits quietly on the bamboo mat in the courtyard, with a gentle and graceful face rippling with a happy smile.

"In another three months, my son will be able to see the world..."

Mu Cien looked at her nearly seven-month-old womb, stroking the round belly with her slender hands, her loving eyes lingering on it, looking forward to the birth of a life.

"Mother!" The joyful child's voice gradually approached, and the young girl with two shofar braids ran towards her happily.

"Sui'er, don't run so fast, you'll fall down." Mu Ci'en hugged the child in his arms, pulled the two cute braids with one hand, and pinched the porcelain doll-like cheek.

"No, no," Sui'er waved her hands childishly and said, "When my younger brother comes, Sui'er will teach him to run!"

"Okay, Sui'er is so good." Mu Ci'en laughed, and handed her a pineapple cake, saying: "This is what my uncle brought here not long ago, it's delicious."

"Really?" Sui'er reached out to peel it off and ate it, with a smile on her round face: "It's delicious!"

The mother and daughter were talking and laughing, and the silver bells and laughter floated in the courtyard, which was so warm that it made people feel numb.

"Madam, Madam..." A maid trotted over, looking a little flustered.

"What's wrong? His face is so ugly." Mu Ci'en looked at her suspiciously.

The maid took out an envelope from her pocket and handed it to her, whispering, "Master Mu Hua gave it to Madam."

Mu Cien quickly picked it up, opened it and read it, his face turned pale into a sheet of rice paper in an instant, his lips were trembling, and he murmured: "No...no..."

"Mother, what's the matter?" Seeing her mother like this, Sui'er couldn't help frowning and asked with concern.
