The two escaped assassins rushed back to Duanguo overnight and reported to Shen Chen what happened in Zhaoguo.

Ling Xiche was waiting for the news in Chenle Palace, and when he heard Xiao Mingzi's greeting outside, he hurried up to greet him.

"Shen Chen, what happened to Zhaoguo's assassination?"

Shen Chen put his arms around Ling Xiche's shoulders and walked in with him.

"Five shadow guards were sent, but only two came back. The two shadow guards said that Yu Chirui was indeed injured, but the wound was on the back shoulder, so there is probably no danger to his life."

"Is it just the back shoulder? Is it because he was accompanied by guards?" Ling Xiche asked.

Shen Chen shook his head, "He didn't bring any guards with him, only Gao Yun and a fifteen- or sixteen-year-old boy were with him. The shadow guard said that they had originally entangled Gao Yun, and a man broke out to assassinate Yu Chirui , but that boy seemed to protect him, killed that shadow guard, and even helped Gao Yun get rid of one."

"A boy of fifteen or sixteen years old? Is he good at martial arts? Is he a guard trained by Yu Chirui?" Ling Xiche asked again.

Shen Chen replied, "I also asked them, and they said it shouldn't be. The young man doesn't look like he knows swordsmanship, and he seems to care about Yu Chirui very much. It doesn't seem like an ordinary master-servant relationship."

Ling Xiche was taken aback for a moment, and smiled, "He won't be like you, so what? Otherwise, he has been on the throne for several years and has no heirs."

Shen Chen also laughed and said, "According to the report from the spies, he has entered the harem, but the number of times is very small. Moreover, his lack of children may also be due to physical reasons. He seems to have hidden illnesses, and he has called for the imperial doctor many times at night. "

Ling Xiche looked at Shen Chen, "Does he have a hidden disease? I haven't heard of it."

"It's no wonder you haven't heard of it. I also heard the report from a spy who was lurking in Zhaoguo Palace as a court lady. Yu Chirui had repeatedly summoned the imperial doctor at night, and after that, the Imperial Hospital hurriedly boiled the medicine and sent it over. It should be It can't be a minor illness, and it seems that once he fell ill in the early court, and was carried back by someone. However, the Zhaoguo Palace is like an iron bucket, and it is impossible for the lower palace people to inquire about it. How many private affairs of Wei Chirui came out, the previous spy just asked a little too much, and in the end he missed his feet and was executed."

Ling Xiche's expression became serious, "You still know that there is an iron bucket in his palace? Since you knew it a long time ago, why are you so negligent? You should know his strength better than me."

Shen Chen looked away guiltily, "I won't be careless in the future."

Ling Xiche thought about it calmly and said, "He has a hidden illness. If one day he really goes to war with Zhaoguo, his physical condition may be the biggest weakness."

Shen Chen patted the back of his hand, "Don't think too much, we won't start a war for the time being, even if Zhaoguo's real strength is much stronger than it looks, but my Duanguo is not bad, and after annexing Yeguo, Duanguo's The country is more than twice their size, and they have no chance of winning if they start a war now."

Ling Xiche held his hand instead, "That's because Duanguo's country is harmonious now, so, you must be steady now, and don't do anything that may shake the foundation of Duanguo."

"Don't worry, I will listen to you."

Ling Xiche recalled what Shen Chen said just now, and then asked, "Who is the boy next to Yu Chirui you mentioned just now?"

Shen Chen replied, "The shadow guard said that judging from his clothes and temperament, he should be a noble son of noble birth, as if he heard Yu Chi Rui calling him Miao Miao."

"Miao Miao? Who is that?"

Shen Chen shook his head, "The shadow guard also said that after Yu Chirui was injured, he could call Yuchirui's name directly, and he could call the emperor's name naturally. I think he should have a high status. Miao Miao, maybe it's just a nickname, I will Go and find out who among the young princes of the Zhao Kingdom has the word Miao in their name, or whose baby name is Miao Miao."

Ling Xiche said softly, "Should I call him by his name directly? I will also call you by your name directly."

Shen Chen smiled, "Your status is indeed very high, Ling Shangqing, aren't you under one person and above ten thousand in Ye Country?"

Ling Xiche did not joke with him, but frowned instead, "Yes, I am the Shangqing of Ye Kingdom, what if he has a higher status than me? Shen Chen, in fact, you said that a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old , I don't know what's going on, my first reaction, that boy, yes, yes..."

"who is it?"

"His Royal Highness."

Shen Chen reacted for a while before he figured out who Ling Xiche was referring to as the crown prince, and said, "Zhao Jihe? You think he is Miao Miao? But, if the subjugated prince of Ye Kingdom defected to Zhao Kingdom, how could such a big thing happen?" Will there be no news at all?"

Ling Xiche said softly, "I don't know, but, fifteen or sixteen years old, He... Miao..."

Zhao country.

Yu Chirui woke up, looked at the hazy sky outside the house, it seemed that it was already the second day.

The little guy was lying on the edge of the bed, his face was rubbing against his hand, and he was soundly asleep.

Although she didn't want to wake him up, she still pinched his face, "Miao Miao."

"Hmm..." He squinted his eyes and raised his head, as if in a daze for a while, then he came to his senses and held Yuchirui's hand, "Yuchirui, I'm here, how are you?"

Yu Chirui said with some embarrassment, "Miao Miao, I want to change clothes, please help me there."

Zhao Jihe didn't feel embarrassed at all, "Oh, okay, how about I carry you there?"

"No, just give me a hand."

Zhao Jihe helped him up, saw his bare feet, and thought about whether to put socks on for him, but after thinking about walking this little way, forget it, and squatted beside the bed to help him put on his shoes.

Zhao Jihe helped him get up and get out of bed, always feeling that he was a little unstable when standing.

"Should I carry you there?"

"No need."

Zhao Jihe could only help him walk slowly.

After changing his clothes and cleaning his hands, Zhao Jihe helped him walk to the bed.

"How about I still hug you? Your steps are floating."

"No, I can go."

Zhao Jihe whispered, "Beauty, don't be too willful."

When he helped Yu Chirui to the bedside, Zhao Jihe noticed with sharp eyes that there was a patch of blood on the place where he was lying just now, which should have been stuck there when he was sent back after being injured and before the wound was bandaged.

Looking at his back, the clean single clothes he had changed were also covered with blood.

"Come on!" Zhao Jihe shouted.

Yu Chirui was puzzled, "What's wrong?"

The two eunuchs on duty outside the door opened the door and came in, "Your Majesty, Mr. Zhao."

Zhao Jihe pointed to the bed, "the sheets are covered with blood, please change into clean ones. There is also the emperor's single clothes, bring a clean one."

"Yes."

Hearing this, the eunuch quickly went to get clean sheets and bedding to change, Zhao Jihe supported Yu Chirui and continued to stand by the side.

Zhao Jihe found that Yu Chirui was about to lose his footing, so he didn't ask for his opinion, and hugged him directly.

Yu Chirui didn't struggle, because he really couldn't stand anymore, but he still asked in a bad tone, "What are you doing?"

"Beauty, you can hardly stand up anymore."

Yu Chirui glanced at the two eunuchs who were making the bed. Because they heard Zhao Jihe address Yu Chirui, they were trying to hold back their laughter, with strange expressions on their faces. Looking at Zhao Jihe again, the little thing narrowed his eyes.

"You put me down, I will sit for a while."

"It's okay, it's comfortable to hold."

Zhao Jihe hugged him upside down and hugged him well, not wanting to make his wound hurt so much that he let out a muffled groan.

"Beauty! Are you all right?"

"To shut up!"

A little eunuch pointed to the clothes on the bed, "Young Master Zhao, the quilts have been changed. Here are the emperor's clean unlined clothes that you want. There are all the clothes and trousers. The slave will put them here for you."

"Okay, I'll change it for him." With that said, Zhao Jihe put Yu Chirui on the bed.

"Your servant will leave." The two young eunuchs quickly fled from this place of tigers and wolves.

Zhao Jihe smiled and picked up the clothes on the bed, "Beauty, let me change for you."

"No, you go away."

Zhao Jihe hugged him aggrievedly, "How can you let him go? You hurt him in his heart."

"Okay, stop making trouble, I will come by myself. You also know that I am injured? What do you want to do to me?"

Zhao Jihe obediently sat down next to him, "Don't worry, I won't mess around, I just want to take good care of you, I really won't mess around. What happened in Tangchi that day will never happen again, I won't offend you, you You can rest assured. You need someone to take care of you now, so let me take care of you."

Yu Chirui said softly, "This injury is not a problem. My injury is not at a vital point. If this injury were on the battlefield, it would be a small injury. We must continue to fight."

Zhao Jihe gave him a sneaky look, "If your body can compare with those soldiers, I don't have to worry about you so much."

Yu Chirui was dissatisfied and said, "Why can't we compare? If there is a war, I will definitely go to the conquest personally. I will be the same as the soldiers and generals in terms of how they live and how they are treated."

Hearing him talk about war, Zhao Jihe suddenly lost the mood to joke with him.

"Yu Chirui, do you have to consider that step? In fact, each of us lives in peace and doesn't interfere with each other, isn't it good?"

Yu Chirui looked at him lightly with phoenix eyes, "A corner of peace? Shen Chen destroyed your country of Ye. If you let it go, what will be his next step?"

Zhao Jihe moved to Yuchirui's side, without saying anything, he held his hand tightly.

Yu Chirui chuckled, "Now that Duan Kingdom has annexed your Ye Kingdom, the land is nearly twice as large as my Zhao Kingdom. If I don't prepare anything, when he completely turns Ye's country into Duan Kingdom, I will I’m afraid it will be difficult to win.”

Zhao Jihe asked in a low voice, "So you have been preparing?"

"Yeah, I've been preparing. I've been preparing since the day I took the throne." Yu Chirui touched his injured shoulder. "But, did Shen Chen suddenly become smarter this time?"

Zhao Jihe hesitated again and again, but still said, "Actually, there is one thing I wanted to say a long time ago, you..."

"what?"

"Aren't you taking Ling Xiche too seriously? I know that you are very powerful. Indeed, your deployments and strategies are all very powerful, but you also have to be careful of him. It's not for nothing that he was named Shangqing at the age of 15."

Yu Chirui's expression changed, "Who are you talking about?"

"Ling Xiche, he has already returned to Jiangduan Kingdom, don't you know?"

"I don't know." Yu Chirui said.

Zhao Jihe patted his forehead, "Yes, it must be like this. When I was in Duanguo, he came to see me, but later I mentioned him to the eunuch who brought me food, and the other party always thought he was dead long ago. No wonder, Shen Chen must be like you, hiding a secret weapon, and Ling Xiche is his secret weapon."

Yu Chirui stopped talking, thinking quietly.

Zhao Jihe saw that his complexion had turned sour, and went to hug him, "Are you okay? What's wrong? Would you like some hot water?"

Yu Chirui turned to look at him, "Miao Miao, are you sure that not only did Ling Xiche not die, but he also surrendered to Duan Kingdom?"

Zhao Jihe nodded earnestly, "I'm absolutely sure, I've met him, it's really him, and he even talked to me. Oh yes, and, the day Shen Chen let me go, Shen Chen mentioned him, and he called him Xiche , I'm afraid their relationship is still very good."

"That's how it is..."

Yu Chirui seemed to have thought of a lot of things suddenly, but there were obviously other problems in it, he was thinking about it, and some began to feel dizzy.

"Yu Chirui!"

Zhao Jihe caught Yu Chirui who fell down, and touched his hand, which was cold.Help him lie down, help him take off his shoes, touch his feet, they are also cold, and quickly cover him with a quilt.

"Lie down, I'll call for the imperial doctor."

Just as Zhao Jihe was about to shout, Yu Chirui stopped him.

"no need."

Zhao Jihe leaned over to look at him, "Does it matter?"

"It's okay, just a little dizzy suddenly, it's much better to lie down."

Zhao Jihe tucked the quilt up for him, "That's because you are too weak now, take a good rest and sleep again."

"Ah."

Yu Chirui closed his eyes and still couldn't help but think of Ling Xiche, but he didn't think about it for too long, and fell asleep because of his weakness.
