true

In the absence of general contact, only regular reports were sent to the emperor. "

"Lin Xie and the Hua family are at odds with each other, and the emperor probably won't believe that he will favor the Hua family in this matter. If you add more than one word, it will arouse his suspicion." King Yu reassured Ban Ruo, "What's more, Lin Shu I still want to keep it."

"Lin Shu is a talented general, but I don't think he can be used by His Highness."

"Oh? Spring Hunting came to see him in our military tent. I think we want to have a good talk? Are you overthinking?"

Banruo lowered her eyelashes. Lin Shu seemed to be as clear as a lake, without any palaces. Although she couldn't see his expression behind the screen, she felt that something was wrong with his voice.

It was when His Highness asked the other princes... Her expression changed, "How is His Highness Prince Jing doing now?"

"Jingyan?"

"Has there been any court visits recently?"

"Father has been in poor health recently. He only went to court for one day. Jingyan also went. Although I looked pale, there was nothing serious about it. People who went to spring hunting are now looking sick. I haven’t seen them recently. When he went out, he was not so much sick as he was hiding from the rain—every time it rained, the eyes of the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry glared like copper bells."

"I see that the three people you went to instigate and lobby did not try to assassinate Jingyan."

"On the second day after arriving at Mount Jiu'an, someone saw three people leaving on horseback. They were indeed holding tokens from Prince Qi's Mansion, and those three people were nowhere to be found after that... It seems to be right, they should have been assassinated. Or retreated and fled." Banruo then pleaded guilty, "Forgive me, Your Highness, now nine out of ten of Huazu's eyeliners are gone, and there are really insufficient manpower, so we can't find out more information."

"It's okay, help me use your Linglong mind elsewhere...I was ill in Spring Lie for a few days, and I remember that Lin Shu delivered me medicine several times, help me think about it, what gift should I give Lin Shu? "

Banruo pondered for a moment, "Warriors are good at weapons, but weapons are rarely replaced after being used, and the spear tassel is too small to give. Why don't you give me a bow."

[Langya Bang] The First True [27] (Shu Yan)

In order to avoid suspicious King Yu and Emperor Liang, Jingyan took the medicine Lin Chen had given him as an emergency the next day after returning to Beijing, and went to court with force.

Fortunately, his foundation as a warrior is still there, and everyone looks sickly, so no one noticed the difference.

When returning to the mansion, Jingyan almost fell at the gate of the mansion, but luckily Fei Liu caught him in time.

A long lethargy followed.

The medicine Lin Chen gave seemed to have the effect of sleeping and relieving pain. When he fell asleep, he felt drowsy and dreamed of many people he missed very much.

During the short intervals between waking up, he would drink water and eat, and Fei Liu seemed to be under Lin Chen's order. Whenever Jingyan wanted to reach for the paperwork, he would grab him and stuff him back under the quilt.

"Be obedient!" He said seriously, and then thought for a while, "Eat more! Sleep more!"

Unable to read and unable to sleep peacefully, Jingyan opened his eyes in the dark, thinking about what Meng Zhi had said to him when he came to see him, about the matter of the two Hua clansmen. I feel that something seems to be missing something.

Although Meng Zhi is the commander of the Forbidden Army, it is difficult to pry into Xuan Jing Division's secrets, and Ting Sheng asked Fei Liu to bring only a few words.

Fortunately, Xia Jiang doesn't have anything against Lin Shu now, but for Xia Jiang, King Qi is still a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh.

If it were him, maybe we could get some clues from these clues.

Just when he was feeling tired, Fei Liu who was beside him suddenly raised his head and looked out of the window vigilantly, but he was not very defensive, so he knew that the person coming had no killing intent.

Fei Liu and Meng Zhi are already familiar, and can hear the sound of Meng Zhi's footsteps.

That's Xiaoshu.

----

Lin Shu climbed over the wall to come in at night. In the past, he didn't have to shy away from the servants of Prince Jing's mansion. In the past, Lin Shu was not a guest in Prince Jing's mansion.

But now Lin Shu can only carefully avoid the patrolling guards, and turns to the small courtyard where Jingyan's bedroom is located. As soon as his feet hit the ground, he feels a gust of wind, and instinctively raises his hand to block it.

Taking a closer look, it turned out to be a half-grown child in front of him.

"Name." The child raised his head and asked briefly.

"I'm here to look for Jingyan."

"With a name, it's a guest."

"What's your name?"

"My name is Little Beauty."

Lin Shu clasped his fists and said solemnly, "So it's a little hero, my name is Lin Shu."

Fei Liu knew that many people would laugh when they heard his name, but this person didn't, and he was very happy to call himself a hero.

This man is a good man.

But, "Lin Shu can't."

Lin Shu was taken aback, "Why not?"

"Lin Shu can't do it." Fei Liu couldn't say why he couldn't do it, he just remembered that the buffalo in the room had told him not to let Lin Shu in, so he stomped his eyes round in anxiety, "No, it's ok!"

"You heard me wrong, I'm not Lin Shu, I'm Lin Su, the sober Su." Lin Shu bent his eyes and smiled, "Jingyan is injured, I'll come and see him."

"Lin Su...Brother Su?" Fei Liu was in a daze for a moment, for some reason he liked this name very much, and called again, "Brother Su!"

He likes the name.

Since this person was not Lin Shu, Fei Liu let him in.

Fei Liu watched the man put a big bag on the table, then sat on the side of the buffalo's bed, carefully lifted the quilt to check his injury, and then sat beside him for a while, seeing that the buffalo seemed to be Without waking up, he left.

When Fei Liu entered the house, he found that the buffalo had opened its eyes, and that expression made him feel uncomfortable.

He opened the scented package.

There are neatly arranged pieces inside, all of which are hazelnut cakes.

----

Three days later, news came from the palace that the emperor had been ill for a long time and was unable to handle court affairs, so he ordered King Qi to supervise the country.

For a while, the courtiers talked a lot, Yuwang and Xianwang who heard the news went to the gate of the palace to kneel and beg for an audience, but they returned in vain.

Fortunately, King Qi had a good reputation for a long time, so no one criticized him.

After hearing the news from Meng Zhi, Jingyan asked anxiously, "Brother Qi Wang, will you meet Emperor Father?"

"I think the emperor is very ill. I saw that he passed the decree through the curtain. No prince has seen the emperor these days, even the empress and concubine Yue can't see the emperor."

"May the emperor allow Brother Qi to have an audience?"

Meng Zhi didn't understand the difference between the two sentences for a moment, so he could only answer seriously after thinking about it, "My order is to seal off Miyagi, so that no one will be seen... Presumably His Royal Highness King Qi is no exception."

"Brother Qi Wang can act on his behalf, is there a clear decree?"

"I haven't seen it either. There is a handbook. As for what I said just now, order him to supervise the country...Your Highness, you don't have to worry too much. His Highness King Qi is familiar with political affairs, and most of the six officials are convinced of him, so we should deal with it." It is right to be able to do things with ease, His Royal Highness Qi has supervised many things, big and small, and none of them are so safe that no mistakes can be found."

"..."

"Your Highness has also been on the battlefield. You should know that your injury this time is definitely not serious. You should take good care of it. Now Xiaoshu is also in Beijing. If there is anything, he will help."

But Jingyan didn't seem to have heard his words, so he turned to Fei Liu and said, "You send a message to Prince Qi's mansion tonight, asking Brother Qi to come and see me tonight."

"Ok!"

----

King Qi arrived much earlier than the appointed time.

Jingyan sat on the couch in his clothes. He looked better after drinking the medicine. After seeing King Qi, he didn't say anything about the assassination, but asked if Princess Qi and the prince were doing well recently.

His elder brother's gaze never left his chest, he frowned tightly, but closed his mouth after a few times.

Jingyan has never seen King Qi so bewildered. In his memory, his elder brother is gentle and calm at all times. Even when he was in the prison, the guards said that he was stripped of his fine clothes. Even until the last moment before his death, he never lost a trace of his character.

It was he who made Jingyan understand that inherent nobility and arrogance have nothing to do with status and blood.

But for himself, he was anxious and tormented like this.

Jingyan couldn't bear to look any longer, so he had to grit his teeth and ask, "I heard that the father is ill, so let the eldest brother supervise the country?"

"That's true."

"Have you ever thought about it, maybe father is not really sick."

Jingyan knows his father well.

Although he doesn't love her so much, it's not like he never gave him a little warmth.

But before that, he was a king.

As long as he is still sitting in this seat, no one will be allowed to covet his seat.

As a son, Jingyan respects him, but as a minister, Jingyan doesn't trust him.

Jingyan has also held the vermilion pen that can control the fate of everyone in the world. He knows the weight of that pen and the power it symbolizes.

As a king, Jingyan doesn't want these things, but Xiao Xuan can give up everything for this pen, including the heart of being a father and a man.

He said in the main hall when his chest was pressed against Emperor Liang's sword that Xiao Jingyan would not be the second King Qi.

"Jingyan, do you want me to be suspicious of our father?" King Qi looked at his younger brother with the same firm tone as before, "I understand what you're worried about, but I have to trust him."

"Because if even we, his closest relatives, don't believe him, he will really become the loneliest person in the world."

The loneliest person?He used to be such a person too.

Jingyan closed his eyes.

The expected answer.

If Xiao Jingyu hesitated after hearing this question, then it would be meaningless for Yan Que, Lin Xie and Mei Changsu to insist on waiting for so many years.

For him, it was not the king who was lying on the sick bed in the palace, but his old and frail father.

If unfortunately caught in his words,
