This military mansion was originally the residence of the general guarding Youcheng, but after the city was broken, the Central Plains army took it.Because the Mobei brave general desperately evacuated the people in the city at the last moment, and now Youcheng is empty, only Li Pei's garrison is left.

It was getting late when Li Pei returned home, and it was already dark at night.

The atmosphere in the front hall, where idlers were screened out, was a little depressing.

After Ke Shunzhe finished announcing the imperial edict, he held the scroll in both hands and stood aside seemingly obediently, waiting for the reaction of the superior.

The prince left the palace for five years because of the case of the Xu family. The East Palace was vacant. The prince should also be shaken.

But Li Pei came back, not only that, the sage also allowed him to lead [-] troops to attack Mobei.Ke Shunzhe has been watching military reports of great victories in Chang'an for the past few months. He is worried that he will make great achievements in conquering the enemy's country, and the power of the princelings in the DPRK and China will be revived again. Li Pei, who is popular with everyone, is probably more difficult than ascending to the sky.

But who knows that the prince who has been abandoned by the people for five years is really not making progress.There was an uproar in Chang'an because of a little magician, but now because of a Mobei national teacher, he didn't even want the letter of surrender and the golden seal he got.

"Sir, obey the order."

Li Pei frowned slightly, and as soon as his two hands grasped the jade scroll of the imperial decree, the coolness invaded his palms.

The sage was furious, and he also brought the elements of courtiers to add fuel and vinegar.Li Pei led the Central Plains army to take down several cities in Mobei, but this contribution was not worth the last step in breaking the king's city; this imperial decree is full of disappointment and anger at the prince's actions, and even the "not Fu Nanyin, who was sent as a prisoner by Youji, suffered disaster.

It is widely rumored that the national teacher is a demon star who came to the world, killed good ministers and generals and dragged down Mobei, and now he is coming to the Central Plains to harm their prince.

"Ke Shilang also thinks that Gu did something wrong?"

He asked Ke Shunzhe.The eyebrows have long been loosened, and the words are another layer of emotion.But after being reprimanded by the sage, he was able to put on a nonchalant look, which surprised Ke Shunzhe a bit.

Thinking about it, the crown prince has been away from Daming Palace for too long, so long that he has forgotten the feeling of Cheng Huan's parents' knees when he was a teenager, so long that the disappointment and dissatisfaction he showed towards his father is no longer as strong as resistance and stubbornness.

"I don't dare to comment on His Highness's right and wrong."

Ke Shunzhe has worked his way up from the lowest end of the officialdom to take the position of Minister of Rituals for so many years, and he is more sophisticated than anyone else in his speech on the scene.He bowed his hands towards Li Pei, paused, and still didn't forget to add:

"However, once this action is taken, not only Mobei, but the whole world will thank His Highness for his benevolence and righteousness."

Li Pei raised his eyes, and the cold light in his eyes looking at Ke Shunzhe gathered for an instant, and then slowly melted away when it touched the face, and then laughed out loud, as if the words in his ears were really interesting.

"As expected of Ke Shilang, he was born in Yushitai, and his ability to hide knives in words has improved over the years."

Giving up a country for the sake of one person, all success is on the verge of failure, and the world ridicules.

So ironic.

Ke Shunzhe didn't answer, and bowed calmly while kneeling, "The saint's decree is here, if His Highness has no other orders, I will leave."

Li Pei watched the person in front of him lower his head deeply towards him, and before waiting for a response, he dragged his wide scarlet official robe sleeves and bowed back to the door.

He spoke suddenly after being silent.

"Does the servant want to return to Beijing to report to the saint at this time?"

Ke Shunzhe paused, "I'm not..."

Li Pei interrupted him: "tens of thousands of people marched slowly, Ke Shilang might as well go ahead and report to Daming Palace that it is safe, so as to save father and emperor waiting for a long time."

Ever since the crown prince returned to the court, Ke Shunzhe hadn't had much contact with him, but whether it was the unexpected encounters in the past few years or the fragmentary comments he heard from others, he knew that Li Pei seldom behaved like this when he was in a bad mood. Speak kindly to a subject.

Ke Shunzhe was suspicious and vigilant. He raised his head again, looked at the same smile on Li Pei's face, and couldn't help but ask, "What does this mean, Your Highness?"

"I'm driving you away, can't the servant understand?"

The sudden mockery and contempt in his tone almost made Ke Shunzhe, who was used to being praised in the court, almost lose his face.The corner of his mouth moved, as if he wanted to say something, but seeing Li Pei's impatient eyes and the urging sound of his knuckles tapping on the table, the words were swallowed back.

"The minister will leave early tomorrow morning."

Li Pei was still dissatisfied, "Tonight, Lieutenant Lou," he called in a low voice, and soon there was a replying sound at the door, which made Ke Shunzhe, who had no time to respond, startled, and then listened to the prince's order:

"Hurry up and escort the Minister of Rites back to Chang'an."

Li Pei's orders and prohibitions are everywhere in the army, and there is no such thing as court civil servants circling around.Ke Shunzhe's heart trembled, it was rare to be forced to see the current situation clearly by such a simple and rude way, knowing that he could not quarrel with Li Pei here again, he followed the anger in Shun's heart, and the half-smiling tone still gave in .

"Thank you for your consideration, Your Highness. I will leave tonight. Then, Your Highness... take care."

The carved door in the front hall opened and closed again, the candlelight on the candlestick on the table trembled, and a long shadow was drawn behind the screen.Wang Lu did not know how much he had listened to in the room, but now he finally came out and knelt down opposite the prince.

"Your Highness is impulsive. The matter of Mobei Guoshi is already not good for us, why should we tear ourselves apart with Ke Shunzhe at this time?"

Li Peizheng was serving a cup of warm tea. When he heard Wang Lu's words, he remembered the words Fu Nanyin asked him in the carriage, and he couldn't help showing a thoughtful look on his face:

"Treacherous bastard, why does Gu put up with him?"

"Small intolerance can lead to chaos and big plans. Isn't this the work of His Highness's ministers?"

Wang Lu only thought that he was thinking about the old incident between Empress Xu and Uncle Guo again, and was about to say a few words of relief when he saw Li Pei had finished drinking tea, and he pretended to be nonchalant and asked, despite clearly hiding things from left to right:

"How about the National Division? Is there a suitable room? Have the military doctor visited it?"

He thought that a series of questions could be turned into one as long as he said them quickly enough, but he kept Wang Lu's originally prepared words of comfort at his lips.

"It was arranged in the room to the south of yours. He... caught wind in the afternoon, and now there is no light in the room, so he must be asleep."

Wang Lu had seen the appearance of the two when they were together, and he also accompanied the prince back to the East Palace from Chang'an Square, abandoning the identity and name he had used for five years, and seeing him go from feeling cold and hurt to resentment to the present look. Seemingly relieved, Wang Lu could almost empathize with him.

He had also complained about Fu Nanyin who trampled on the prince affectionately before turning around and disappearing without a trace.

But today he just watched Fu Nanyin standing in front of the carriage in the snow for an hour, with snow on his head and shoulders, but still clutching tightly the last letter he left to the prince three months ago.

He didn't tell the prince that Funanyin didn't fall asleep at all, but fainted in the snow again.

"Sleeping?" Li Pei glanced at Wang Lu suspiciously.

Although it was already night at this time, Fu Nanyin had never been a person who liked to go to bed early, and this problem had not been corrected for two years. He did not believe that just three months could turn someone sexual.

"Go and see alone."

With that said, Li Pei put down the tea bowl and got up.

Wang Lu followed him step by step, and couldn't help reminding in a low voice: "Since His Highness is going, why don't you bring a military doctor with you..."

……

When he walked outside Funanyin's house, there was no candle in the house.

The military doctor announced by the prince had already been waiting outside the door with a medical box. When he saw someone coming, he quickly bent down to salute. The black and gold clothes flashed in his eyes, and when he looked up again, he was pulled by the prince's men. Wearing a girdle, he entered the house.

Four or five candles were lit, bringing a little light in the room, but it was not enough to wake up Fu Nanyin who was closed on the couch.

A slightly pale and haggard face was exposed from the brocade quilt. Li Pei sat on the edge of the couch and was a little surprised to see this face clearly.

He remembered that Funanyin's face was not like this when he got out of the car and left. He didn't understand why he became weaker after a few hours.It's just that when he suddenly thought of the last few words he said to him and the letter, Li Pei regretted it a little.

It is his words that are serious.

Li Pei wanted to reach out to touch the face of the person on the couch several times, but because of the other two people in the room, he withdrew it several times.

After a while, he sighed silently, and said in a very low voice to the military doctor who had been standing there for a long time: "Show him, what's wrong with him, why is he so weak at first sight."

Back in Chang'an, although Fu Nanyin's body was not as good as those who practiced martial arts all the year round, it was not bad.Li Pei remembers that when he first met him, Fu Nanyin was wearing a black uniform and holding a poorly used lancet, as if he was hiding from his enemies, but his figure looked like he had suffered a lot when he was a child , not the appearance after being taken care of by the dandy "Pei Tianren" for two years, and even less the cold and dignified look of the Mobei Guoshi.

The military doctor carefully removed Fu Nanyin's right hand from the quilt, and put his two fingers on it carefully.

Standing behind him, Li Pei couldn't tell how much the military doctor's expression had changed, but felt that the time passed by, but his hand that signaled the pulse never moved.

Time for a cup of tea is over.

The military doctor finally put Fu Nanyin's right hand back, but got up unexpectedly, and tentatively felt the pulse of the person's left hand.

Half a stick of incense passed...

The military doctor said only two words in total.

"Strange."

Knowing what happened before Fu Nanyin fell asleep, Wang Lu felt a little apprehensive, so he couldn't help but ask, "Is it the wind and cold?"

"There is a sign of wind and cold." The military doctor did not turn his head, and responded with a monotonous voice, as if the mere wind and cold were not worth mentioning at all.

"Is there any sign of poisoning?"

But after Li Pei finished asking, the eyelashes of the person on the couch trembled, as if he was about to wake up.The military doctor was originally surprised, but even after confirming it repeatedly, he still couldn't believe it.He shook his head towards Li Pei, stood up and whispered to Li Pei:

"This matter is too strange and weird, please ask Your Highness to speak for a while."
