Ji Qingzhou sneaked a few glances at the King of Hengjun, and found that the other party looked only sixteen or seventeen years old, with a handsome face with a childishness that had not faded away, especially when standing with Li Zhan, he looked like a teenager The gas became more and more obvious.
Ji Qingzhou secretly thought that sometimes a person's aura really has nothing to do with age.
Although Li Zhan is four or five years older than the Hengjun King, Ji Qingzhou feels that Li Zhan is probably quite mature even when he is sixteen or seventeen years old, and he will definitely not have all his emotions written on his face like the Hengjun King.In other words, even if King Heng was a few years older, his aura would probably not be comparable to that of Li Zhan.
Ji Qingzhou doesn't quite remember the description of Hengjun Wang in the original book, and guesses that the other party should have no sense of existence, probably just a small supporting role with a name.
Li Zhan hugged the little emperor and took Ji Qingzhou, ignoring King Heng at all, and walked straight forward.
King Heng Jun caught up a few steps, stood in front of Li Zhan again, and said, "Third Brother, you can't let him go in to see Uncle."
Needless to say, he must be referring to Ji Qingzhou.
Li Zhan glanced at King Heng with indifference, without even saying a word, King Heng lost his momentum a bit.Ji Qingzhou saw that King Heng's face was a little red, and he obviously didn't want to compromise, but he was very afraid of the coercion of the regent.
Before Li Zhan could speak, Ji Qingzhou suddenly whispered: "Your Majesty, His Majesty is still asleep, it seems inappropriate to visit the old Wang Ye just like this. Why don't you take your Majesty to rest first, and wait for Your Majesty to wake up. It’s not too late to visit again.”
As soon as Ji Qingzhou finished speaking, King Heng couldn't help looking at Li Zhan.
Seeing that Li Zhan's expression moved slightly, he put the little emperor in Ji Qingzhou's arms, and said to Dong Dong behind him, "You don't have to follow me." That means Dong Dong should follow the little emperor and Ji Qingzhou with him. .
Ji Qingzhou took the little emperor and followed Dong Dong to the guest room in the garden for a rest.
King Heng Jun looked at Ji Qingzhou's back with surprise.
He really didn't expect that Li Zhan would listen to Ji Qingzhou's words.
Li Zhan ignored him and strode towards the residence of the old prince.
King Heng came back to catch up, and asked, "Third Brother, why did you bring him here? You know that Uncle was inextricably linked to the Ji family's crimes, and now Uncle is seriously ill. , but you brought him here..."
"Why are you more nervous than Uncle?" Li Zhan said lightly, "Could it be that you also contributed to the crime of the Ji family?"
King Heng Jun was choked by his words, and he blushed suddenly, his expression was very exciting.
Li Zhan paused, turned his head to look at him and said, "Oh... I just remembered that you were almost engaged to the young lady of the Ji family. When you learned that the Ji family had been convicted, you took the initiative to divorce the late emperor. It's a relationship... This king remembers it right?"
"You..." King Heng was annoyed when he heard the words, "You brought him here on purpose just to humiliate me?"
Li Zhan's eyes fell on King Hengjun's face, and finally he smiled faintly, and said, "Fourth brother, you always take yourself too seriously, thinking that everyone will make things difficult for you. Don't say that this king doesn't care at all. It's Ji Qingzhou who knows you're here... Look at the way he looked at you just now, do you think he still remembers you?"
Li Zhan's words seemed to stab King Hengjun's heart. The young man was a little dazed, thinking that Ji Qingzhou's gaze when he looked at him just now was really calm and dazed, as if he had really forgotten him ...
A self-deprecating expression appeared on King Hengjun's face, and the previous annoyance dissipated immediately.
That person didn't even hate him, but he had already forgotten him?
Ji Qingzhou was led to the guest room by the people in the garden.He originally wanted to put the little emperor down, but the little emperor was so sleepy that he hugged him and refused to let go. Ji Qingzhou had no choice but to lean on the low couch and hold the little emperor in his arms.
The little emperor has always been lethargic, especially when riding in a carriage.Ji Qingzhou reckoned that he wouldn't wake up for a while, so he adjusted a more comfortable posture to hold him, and leaned on the couch to think about things.
This Prince Heng's attitude towards him is quite strange, there should be something going on here.
Ji Qingzhou vaguely remembered that Tu Da mentioned that King Heng almost became his brother-in-law, that is to say, the other party was engaged or almost engaged to Ji Qingzhou's sister in the original book.If this is the case, after the Ji family was convicted, King Heng should really not want to see him, after all, he wants to avoid suspicion.
He remembered that Qin Zheng had mentioned that although King Hengjun was young, he was in charge of the officials, which meant that no matter what his actual ability was, he still had some status in the court in name.Then why hasn't Zhao Shangshang seen him?I didn't see him go to the Imperial Study Room or the Yinghui Pavilion to discuss matters.
Could it be because King Heng and the Regent are at odds?
If that's the case, did the regent bring him here on purpose to displease King Heng?Ji Qingzhou quickly dismissed this idea. From his understanding of Li Zhan, Li Zhan is not such a boring person, and he would not do such unskilled things.
Could it be... Li Zhan brought him here because he has something to do with the old prince?
Ji Qingzhou's thoughts changed suddenly, and he remembered the plot that he had vaguely seen in the book. This old prince seemed to be related to the crime of Ji's family.It's just that he can't remember the specific details. He only has such an impression, and he doesn't know whether it is accurate.
If so, Li Zhan's previous reaction and King Heng's reaction when he saw him made sense!
Ji Qingzhou had many questions in his mind for a while, but it's a pity that the person beside him now is Dong Dong, so he can't ask directly, so as not to arouse suspicion.
The residence of the old prince.
Li Zhan and Hengjun Wangli bowed to the old prince together in front of the couch. The old prince leaned on the side of the couch and looked at the two of them, his face was a little gray, and he looked seriously ill.
The old prince is Li Zhan's uncle, he is over [-] years old now, his hair is graying, now that he has been ill, his spirit seems to be getting worse, and there are faint signs of dying soon.
"Where's Your Majesty?" the old prince asked.
"Your Majesty fell asleep on the way, and is now in the guest room." Li Zhan replied.
The old prince nodded when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "When your father was young, he also loved to sleep. I studied with him in the palace school, and he would often fall asleep on the desk after hearing a few words. .Sometimes he fell asleep lying on my back before going to the dormitory after class..."
The old prince recalled the time when he was young, with a bit of emotion in his eyes, and then said: "It's a pity that he was not in good health and left at a young age... I saw you two brothers standing together today, and I remembered Back then... if people could never grow old, it would be great."
Li Zhan and King Heng listened to the old prince's emotion in silence, neither said a word.
"I'm old now, and I don't want to take care of your affairs anymore, but I should take care of the things your father entrusted to me before he left." The old prince said and waved to the servants beside him. He took out a bright yellow scroll from the box next to him, and handed the scroll to Li Zhan.
Li Zhan opened it and frowned almost invisibly.
The countenance of King Hengjun next to him changed, and he looked at the old prince with some surprise.
"Before your father left, Zhan'er was only 16 years old, and Zhen'er was even younger, only [-]... He has always thought about the marriage of the two of you, and he did not forget to entrust it to me when he was dying." The old prince said : "I thought that the boss would be fine all the time, and he could take care of your brothers in the future, but he passed away at a young age, and the burden fell on me after all...Since I have accepted this edict, I will always take care of your father." Get things done, or you won't be able to explain to him when you come over there."
Hengjun Wang heard the words and said: "But the emperor's brother died less than one year old, our marriage..."
"We don't have these rules in the Yu Dynasty... A younger brother doesn't have to keep his elder brother's filial piety." The old prince interrupted him without waiting for King Heng to finish speaking: "I don't have much time, and I don't want to discuss with you today. ... Marriage matters have always been ordered by parents, although you were not born by me, but since you called me uncle, and now there is a will here, I will presume once... to be your master once again."
King Heng wanted to say something more after hearing the words, but the old prince waved his hand at him, signaling that there is no need to say more.
Li Zhan on the side didn't have much reaction from the beginning to the end, neither refusing nor raising objections.
"You guys are staying in the garden today, and you have to think about it when you go back...tomorrow Zhang Shangshu from the Ministry of Rites will come over, and I specially invited him to be a witness, you...cough cough...cough cough..." The old prince said fiercely Coughing a few times, the two of them were about to go forward, but the old prince waved his hands and said, "Go... I have to rest..."
The two of them didn't say anything more immediately, so they had to go out.
"Third Brother, are you really willing to get married?" Li Zhan, the Hengjun Dynasty, asked.
Li Zhan raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, but did not respond.
"When the emperor was alive, he mentioned marriage to you many times, but you never let go." Prince Heng said: "People in the court are very curious why you have been reluctant to get married. Actually, I have never understood. "
Li Zhan remained silent, apparently not intending to answer this question.
"With our identities, we can never make up our own minds about marriage, and it's meaningless." Hengjun Wang said to himself again: "Brother Huang asked me to marry the young lady of the Ji family, I was not willing at first. I Knowing that people in the Ji family have their eyes high above the top, they don't care about my status at all, in their eyes, I am a majestic county king, I am afraid that I am not as good as a retainer in the Taifu's mansion..."
"What's the point of saying this now?" Li Zhan said lightly.
"I just don't understand...what did I do wrong?" King Heng said.
Li Zhan glanced at him and said, "You didn't do anything wrong, but what did the Ji family do wrong?"
King Hengjun was startled when he heard the words, and his expression suddenly became a little dazed and sad.
"You complain about yourself all day long, and you feel that you are the only one who has been wronged in the whole world." Li Zhan said sarcastically, "Why don't you ask the eldest son of the Ji family who was exiled, the third lady who was used as a prostitute, and the servant who became a servant?" Ji Qingzhou... Aren't they innocent?"
Hengjun Wang was stunned for a while without saying a word, but Li Zhan didn't want to talk nonsense with him, so he left.
When Li Zhan returned to the guest room, he saw Ji Qingzhou leaning on the low couch, holding the little emperor in his arms, both of them were sound asleep.
When Ji Qingzhou is awake, he is always well-behaved and decent, as if he has reservations about everyone, and never let go of his guard easily.And when he fell asleep, his whole body was completely relaxed, his brows and eyes were stretched and soft, and the sense of distance that he usually had was suddenly gone.
Li Zhan's eyes fell on his handsome face, and he noticed that the boy's sharp-edged side face had a slight curvature, which seemed to be a little more fleshy than it was more than a month ago.This small change, on the contrary, added a bit of beauty to the boy's face, not as thin as before.
It's just... Li Zhan moved his eyes down a little, and found that the boy's figure hadn't changed much, and he was still a little thin.
It seems that those few months in prison have been exhausted, and I'm afraid I won't be able to make up for it in a while...
Today when Li Zhan asked Ji Qingzhou if he wanted to come, Ji Qingzhou agreed without thinking.Li Zhan thought that he wanted to take this opportunity to meet the old prince, and maybe he wanted to read to him about the crimes committed against Sui Ji's family...
Rationally, Li Zhan felt that it was inappropriate to bring Ji Qingzhou.
But he thought again, if Ji Qingzhou had intentions in his heart, why not give him this chance to question the old prince face to face?
He had thought more than once that Ji Qingzhou gave up exile and chose to enter the palace, either because he wanted to reverse the case for the Ji family, or to seek revenge.So he deliberately kept Ji Qingzhou by his side, wanting to see what this young master of the Ji family is going to do and how to do it.
But to his surprise, Ji Qingzhou never mentioned the Ji family from the beginning to the end.
Even when facing himself and the little emperor, Li Zhan never saw even a single resentment in his eyes.
I thought Ji Qingzhou would say something today.
Unexpectedly, he actually gave up the chance to meet the old prince...
The old prince's life is not long, and the former emperor who sent Ji's family to him has passed away. If Ji Qingzhou doesn't ask the old prince to question him this time, it means that he may never have the opportunity to pursue the affairs of the Ji family again.
Does he really have no resentment in his heart?
Li Zhan looked at the young man's delicate sleeping face, feeling curious and puzzled.
She obviously entered the palace with a purpose, why can she hide it so tightly?
Obviously, he should be a person full of resentment, why has there never been a trace of hostility in his eyes...
Li Zhan really wanted to get into the boy's heart to find out what happened!
"Gulu..." Ji Qingzhou's stomach was caught off guard by a sound.
Afterwards, the boy's slender eyelashes lifted slightly, revealing those dark and beautiful pupils.
Li Zhan didn't expect the boy to wake up suddenly, a trace of uneasiness flashed across his face, but he quickly covered it up.
Then he calmly looked away, handed over a plate of snacks on the low table beside him, got up and left the guest room.
Ji Qingzhou: ...
Before nightfall, the little emperor woke up completely.
Li Zhan took him to visit the old prince, but Ji Qingzhou tactfully did not follow, and Li Zhan did not force him.
Ji Qingzhou had a full stomach of snacks before, but now he has some accumulated food, so he strolled in the small garden outside for a while.Unexpectedly, when he was about to go back, he bumped into Prince Heng.
This place is very close to the guest room, Ji Qingzhou didn't go far on purpose out of trouble, it should not be accidental to bump into each other here.
"I've seen the prince." Ji Qingzhou bowed politely to the king of Heng County, and didn't plan to stay for a long time.
Seeing his expression, King Hengjun frowned when he remembered Li Zhan's words, and said, "Third brother is right... I know you have always looked down on me. I don't know what you said to me last time Remember, I haven't forgotten it after a long time."
Ji Qingzhou: ...
What was the last time, what did you say?
"When something happened to Ji's family, I was not indifferent. If I had the ability, I couldn't stand by." King Heng said: "It's just that everyone in the court knows that my second brother and I have always been friends. If something like that happened to my second brother, if I don't avoid suspicion Even interfering in to intercede for the Ji family, I'm afraid the result will be the same as the second brother!"
Ji Qingzhou probably understood something when he heard the words. The crime of the Ji family should be related to the second prince. After the accident, the second prince and the Ji family were convicted together.And although the Hengjun King didn't know if he was involved in it, he decisively defended himself and drew a clear line with the Ji family and the second prince, so he was able to protect himself in the end.
This is also human nature, and Ji Qingzhou thinks he can understand it.
However, the Prince Heng obviously couldn't pass this test himself, he seemed to blame himself a bit?
"You blame me and blame me, I can understand..." King Heng said.
"What did His Highness say?" Ji Qingzhou hurriedly said, "I dare not harbor resentment."
King Heng was startled when he heard the words, and said: "You call yourself a slave in front of this king, you are really blaming me."
Ji Qingzhou was a little speechless when he heard the words. He secretly thought that the lady from the Ji family was engaged to you and not me. Why should I blame you? ? ?
"You have always been like this... you never put me in your eyes, and now even if you become a servant... you are still the same." King Heng smiled bitterly, looking sad, and stared at Ji Qingzhou with burning eyes, He added: "Perhaps in your heart, I am nothing compared to Third Brother..."
Ji Qingzhou: ...
Why does this Prince Heng speak so strangely?The tone of a melancholy and sad young man...
Those who didn't know thought they had an affair.
Ji Qingzhou was speechless for a while, and just wanted to leave quickly.
"Uncle arranged marriages for me and third brother..." King Heng said sadly again: "You may think that I am useless and never dare to disobey anyone, but is third brother different? He Do you dare to recklessly disobey my father's will?"
Ji Qingzhou:!
Wait... the Prince Regent is arranged for a marriage?
Sure enough, the plot line has changed...
Ji Qingzhou was shocked for a moment. Is the regent's emotional line that didn't appear in the original book really going to appear?
"Your Highness... these things are not for slaves to worry about." Ji Qingzhou said.
"Now you follow the third brother all day long and obey him... I heard that the courtiers are talking about it, saying that the third brother who never let his servants serve him in the past is now very dependent on you, and the entire Yinghui Pavilion I'll leave it to you to take care of..." King Heng said.
Ji Qingzhou: ...
The king of Hengjun doesn't go to court all day, but he knows the affairs of the court like the palm of his hand.
Is he a pure middle school boy, or is he pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger?
No matter what it is, Ji Qingzhou feels that it is not wise to talk nonsense with him at the moment.
"Your Majesty, the slave will leave first." Ji Qingzhou didn't want to make troubles, so he decided to go for the best plan.
However, just as he turned around to leave, King Heng grabbed his arm and pulled him back to his side.
At that moment, Ji Qingzhou smelled the smell of wine from Prince Heng.
No wonder the speech is strange, it turns out that I drank too much...
"Is the third brother really that worthy of your following?" King Heng asked in a deep voice, holding Ji Qingzhou's shoulders with his hands.
Ji Qingzhou thought, didn't you take the initiative to draw a clear line with Ji's family, why are you acting like a victim now?
But the king of Hengjun is a prince, and he drank too much, so it is naturally impossible for Ji Qingzhou to reason with him.
Thinking of this, Ji Qingzhou had no choice but to reply in a good voice: "Slave... just for food."
"Stop calling yourself a slave!" King Heng said angrily, "Do you really have to poke my heart?"
"Okay, okay..." Ji Qingzhou shrank his neck and said, "I won't say anything!"
Ji Qingzhou really has nothing to do with the king of Hengjun, who is younger than him, and looks like a careless person, but the careless person is still not sober.Ji Qingzhou only hates that she shouldn't have eaten that plate of dim sum, otherwise she wouldn't have eaten too much and went out for a walk, and encountered such a scene.
Seeing Ji Qingzhou's absent-minded face, King Hengjun immediately became angry, and he couldn't help but increase his strength in holding Ji Qingzhou's hand, and said in a deep voice: "Ji Qingzhou... this king has always been curious, what on earth are you doing?" Only then will you take a good look at this king? If this king goes to the third brother to ask you, do you think the third brother will give you to me?"
Ji Qingzhou frowned when he heard the words, and felt that the King of Hengjun was either a second-year-old patient, or he had some psychological problems.
Seeing that Ji Qingzhou's beautiful eyes never met his gaze, Prince Heng felt a little frustrated immediately.
"Why are you still refusing to look at this king?" King Heng said angrily, "Does this king make you feel sick?"
Ji Qingzhou is too close to Prince Heng, and it's really disgusting to be smelled of alcohol on his body.
"Why don't you talk?" King Heng grabbed Ji Qingzhou's shoulder and shook it vigorously.
Ji Qingzhou: ...
Damn, it's really scary to drink alcohol for the second disease! !
Ji Qingzhou tried her best to endure the churning in her stomach, but after being shaken by King Hengjun, she finally couldn't control it anymore...
Vomited……
Ji Qingzhou secretly thought while vomiting, the frequency of vomiting is a bit too much recently!
It's so abnormal... Is there something wrong...
"Ji Qingzhou..." King Heng was obviously a little confused, and he reached out to pull the other party, but was blocked by someone's arm.
King Hengjun was startled, and saw Li Zhan reach out to hold Ji Qingzhou with his hand, and patted Ji Qingzhou's back with his other hand.
"Third brother... why are you here?" King Heng was half sober at the moment, standing there a little at a loss.
Li Zhan glanced at him coldly, then turned to Ji Qingzhou and asked, "What's going on?"
"Maybe I ate too much..." Ji Qingzhou said with some embarrassment.
Seeing that he had finished vomiting, Li Zhan walked towards the guest room with his arm.
Hengjun Wang stood behind with red eyes, wanting to say something, but Li Zhan didn't give him a chance.
His eyes kept falling on Ji Qingzhou's back, and he sighed softly until the other party walked away.
"Let's find a doctor to have a look. Qin Zheng said that you have been throwing up a lot these days." Li Zhan said lightly.
Ji Qingzhou was a little embarrassed when he heard the words, and always felt that the regent's words were alluding to him eating too much.
However, he has eaten a lot recently, and he still has to control his food intake in the future, otherwise, if he vomits up early, it will be embarrassing in front of all civil and military officials.
Dong Dong immediately ordered the people in the garden to invite a doctor.
Ji Qingzhou went to rinse his mouth, his stomach was empty now, and he was a little hungry again...
The author has something to say: update ~ continue tomorrow ~
Thanks to the little angels who threw mines: milk meow, color il1;
Thanks to the little angel who irrigated the nutrient solution: 20 bottles around my brother's waist; 10 bottles of Braised Radix Banlangen, 5 bottles of braised Radix Radix; 1 bottles of Ayu; Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
Ji Qingzhou secretly thought that sometimes a person's aura really has nothing to do with age.
Although Li Zhan is four or five years older than the Hengjun King, Ji Qingzhou feels that Li Zhan is probably quite mature even when he is sixteen or seventeen years old, and he will definitely not have all his emotions written on his face like the Hengjun King.In other words, even if King Heng was a few years older, his aura would probably not be comparable to that of Li Zhan.

Li Zhan hugged the little emperor and took Ji Qingzhou, ignoring King Heng at all, and walked straight forward.
King Heng Jun caught up a few steps, stood in front of Li Zhan again, and said, "Third Brother, you can't let him go in to see Uncle."
Needless to say, he must be referring to Ji Qingzhou.
Li Zhan glanced at King Heng with indifference, without even saying a word, King Heng lost his momentum a bit.Ji Qingzhou saw that King Heng's face was a little red, and he obviously didn't want to compromise, but he was very afraid of the coercion of the regent.
Before Li Zhan could speak, Ji Qingzhou suddenly whispered: "Your Majesty, His Majesty is still asleep, it seems inappropriate to visit the old Wang Ye just like this. Why don't you take your Majesty to rest first, and wait for Your Majesty to wake up. It’s not too late to visit again.”
As soon as Ji Qingzhou finished speaking, King Heng couldn't help looking at Li Zhan.
Seeing that Li Zhan's expression moved slightly, he put the little emperor in Ji Qingzhou's arms, and said to Dong Dong behind him, "You don't have to follow me." That means Dong Dong should follow the little emperor and Ji Qingzhou with him. .
Ji Qingzhou took the little emperor and followed Dong Dong to the guest room in the garden for a rest.
King Heng Jun looked at Ji Qingzhou's back with surprise.
He really didn't expect that Li Zhan would listen to Ji Qingzhou's words.
Li Zhan ignored him and strode towards the residence of the old prince.
King Heng came back to catch up, and asked, "Third Brother, why did you bring him here? You know that Uncle was inextricably linked to the Ji family's crimes, and now Uncle is seriously ill. , but you brought him here..."
"Why are you more nervous than Uncle?" Li Zhan said lightly, "Could it be that you also contributed to the crime of the Ji family?"
King Heng Jun was choked by his words, and he blushed suddenly, his expression was very exciting.
Li Zhan paused, turned his head to look at him and said, "Oh... I just remembered that you were almost engaged to the young lady of the Ji family.

"You..." King Heng was annoyed when he heard the words, "You brought him here on purpose just to humiliate me?"
Li Zhan's eyes fell on King Hengjun's face, and finally he smiled faintly, and said, "Fourth brother, you always take yourself too seriously, thinking that everyone will make things difficult for you. Don't say that this king doesn't care at all. It's Ji Qingzhou who knows you're here... Look at the way he looked at you just now, do you think he still remembers you?"
Li Zhan's words seemed to stab King Hengjun's heart. The young man was a little dazed, thinking that Ji Qingzhou's gaze when he looked at him just now was really calm and dazed, as if he had really forgotten him ...
A self-deprecating expression appeared on King Hengjun's face, and the previous annoyance dissipated immediately.

Ji Qingzhou was led to the guest room by the people in the garden.He originally wanted to put the little emperor down, but the little emperor was so sleepy that he hugged him and refused to let go. Ji Qingzhou had no choice but to lean on the low couch and hold the little emperor in his arms.

"I'm old now, and I don't want to take care of your affairs anymore, but I should take care of the things your father entrusted to me before he left." The old prince said and waved to the servants beside him. He took out a bright yellow scroll from the box next to him, and handed the scroll to Li Zhan.

The two of them didn't say anything more immediately, so they had to go out.
"Third Brother, are you really willing to get married?" Li Zhan, the Hengjun Dynasty, asked.
Li Zhan raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, but did not respond.
"When the emperor was alive, he mentioned marriage to you many times, but you never let go." Prince Heng said: "People in the court are very curious why you have been reluctant to get married. Actually, I have never understood. "
Li Zhan remained silent, apparently not intending to answer this question.
"With our identities, we can never make up our own minds about marriage, and it's meaningless." Hengjun Wang said to himself again: "Brother Huang asked me to marry the young lady of the Ji family, I was not willing at first. I Knowing that people in the Ji family have their eyes high above the top, they don't care about my status at all, in their eyes, I am a majestic county king, I am afraid that I am not as good as a retainer in the Taifu's mansion..."
"What's the point of saying this now?" Li Zhan said lightly.
"I just don't understand...what did I do wrong?" King Heng said.
Li Zhan glanced at him and said, "You didn't do anything wrong, but what did the Ji family do wrong?"
King Hengjun was startled when he heard the words, and his expression suddenly became a little dazed and sad.
"You complain about yourself all day long, and you feel that you are the only one who has been wronged in the whole world." Li Zhan said sarcastically, "Why don't you ask the eldest son of the Ji family who was exiled, the third lady who was used as a prostitute, and the servant who became a servant?" Ji Qingzhou... Aren't they innocent?"
Hengjun Wang was stunned for a while without saying a word, but Li Zhan didn't want to talk nonsense with him, so he left.
When Li Zhan returned to the guest room, he saw Ji Qingzhou leaning on the low couch, holding the little emperor in his arms, both of them were sound asleep.
When Ji Qingzhou is awake, he is always well-behaved and decent, as if he has reservations about everyone, and never let go of his guard easily.And when he fell asleep, his whole body was completely relaxed, his brows and eyes were stretched and soft, and the sense of distance that he usually had was suddenly gone.
Li Zhan's eyes fell on his handsome face, and he noticed that the boy's sharp-edged side face had a slight curvature, which seemed to be a little more fleshy than it was more than a month ago.This small change, on the contrary, added a bit of beauty to the boy's face, not as thin as before.
It's just... Li Zhan moved his eyes down a little, and found that the boy's figure hadn't changed much, and he was still a little thin.
It seems that those few months in prison have been exhausted, and I'm afraid I won't be able to make up for it in a while...
Today when Li Zhan asked Ji Qingzhou if he wanted to come, Ji Qingzhou agreed without thinking.Li Zhan thought that he wanted to take this opportunity to meet the old prince, and maybe he wanted to read to him about the crimes committed against Sui Ji's family...
Rationally, Li Zhan felt that it was inappropriate to bring Ji Qingzhou.
But he thought again, if Ji Qingzhou had intentions in his heart, why not give him this chance to question the old prince face to face?
He had thought more than once that Ji Qingzhou gave up exile and chose to enter the palace, either because he wanted to reverse the case for the Ji family, or to seek revenge.So he deliberately kept Ji Qingzhou by his side, wanting to see what this young master of the Ji family is going to do and how to do it.
But to his surprise, Ji Qingzhou never mentioned the Ji family from the beginning to the end.
Even when facing himself and the little emperor, Li Zhan never saw even a single resentment in his eyes.
I thought Ji Qingzhou would say something today.
Unexpectedly, he actually gave up the chance to meet the old prince...
The old prince's life is not long, and the former emperor who sent Ji's family to him has passed away. If Ji Qingzhou doesn't ask the old prince to question him this time, it means that he may never have the opportunity to pursue the affairs of the Ji family again.
Does he really have no resentment in his heart?
Li Zhan looked at the young man's delicate sleeping face, feeling curious and puzzled.
She obviously entered the palace with a purpose, why can she hide it so tightly?
Obviously, he should be a person full of resentment, why has there never been a trace of hostility in his eyes...
Li Zhan really wanted to get into the boy's heart to find out what happened!
"Gulu..." Ji Qingzhou's stomach was caught off guard by a sound.
Afterwards, the boy's slender eyelashes lifted slightly, revealing those dark and beautiful pupils.
Li Zhan didn't expect the boy to wake up suddenly, a trace of uneasiness flashed across his face, but he quickly covered it up.
Then he calmly looked away, handed over a plate of snacks on the low table beside him, got up and left the guest room.
Ji Qingzhou: ...
Before nightfall, the little emperor woke up completely.
Li Zhan took him to visit the old prince, but Ji Qingzhou tactfully did not follow, and Li Zhan did not force him.
Ji Qingzhou had a full stomach of snacks before, but now he has some accumulated food, so he strolled in the small garden outside for a while.Unexpectedly, when he was about to go back, he bumped into Prince Heng.
This place is very close to the guest room, Ji Qingzhou didn't go far on purpose out of trouble, it should not be accidental to bump into each other here.
"I've seen the prince." Ji Qingzhou bowed politely to the king of Heng County, and didn't plan to stay for a long time.
Seeing his expression, King Hengjun frowned when he remembered Li Zhan's words, and said, "Third brother is right... I know you have always looked down on me. I don't know what you said to me last time Remember, I haven't forgotten it after a long time."
Ji Qingzhou: ...
What was the last time, what did you say?
"When something happened to Ji's family, I was not indifferent. If I had the ability, I couldn't stand by." King Heng said: "It's just that everyone in the court knows that my second brother and I have always been friends. If something like that happened to my second brother, if I don't avoid suspicion Even interfering in to intercede for the Ji family, I'm afraid the result will be the same as the second brother!"
Ji Qingzhou probably understood something when he heard the words. The crime of the Ji family should be related to the second prince. After the accident, the second prince and the Ji family were convicted together.And although the Hengjun King didn't know if he was involved in it, he decisively defended himself and drew a clear line with the Ji family and the second prince, so he was able to protect himself in the end.
This is also human nature, and Ji Qingzhou thinks he can understand it.
However, the Prince Heng obviously couldn't pass this test himself, he seemed to blame himself a bit?
"You blame me and blame me, I can understand..." King Heng said.
"What did His Highness say?" Ji Qingzhou hurriedly said, "I dare not harbor resentment."
King Heng was startled when he heard the words, and said: "You call yourself a slave in front of this king, you are really blaming me."
Ji Qingzhou was a little speechless when he heard the words. He secretly thought that the lady from the Ji family was engaged to you and not me. Why should I blame you? ? ?
"You have always been like this... you never put me in your eyes, and now even if you become a servant... you are still the same." King Heng smiled bitterly, looking sad, and stared at Ji Qingzhou with burning eyes, He added: "Perhaps in your heart, I am nothing compared to Third Brother..."
Ji Qingzhou: ...
Why does this Prince Heng speak so strangely?The tone of a melancholy and sad young man...
Those who didn't know thought they had an affair.
Ji Qingzhou was speechless for a while, and just wanted to leave quickly.
"Uncle arranged marriages for me and third brother..." King Heng said sadly again: "You may think that I am useless and never dare to disobey anyone, but is third brother different? He Do you dare to recklessly disobey my father's will?"
Ji Qingzhou:!
Wait... the Prince Regent is arranged for a marriage?
Sure enough, the plot line has changed...
Ji Qingzhou was shocked for a moment. Is the regent's emotional line that didn't appear in the original book really going to appear?
"Your Highness... these things are not for slaves to worry about." Ji Qingzhou said.
"Now you follow the third brother all day long and obey him... I heard that the courtiers are talking about it, saying that the third brother who never let his servants serve him in the past is now very dependent on you, and the entire Yinghui Pavilion I'll leave it to you to take care of..." King Heng said.
Ji Qingzhou: ...
The king of Hengjun doesn't go to court all day, but he knows the affairs of the court like the palm of his hand.
Is he a pure middle school boy, or is he pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger?
No matter what it is, Ji Qingzhou feels that it is not wise to talk nonsense with him at the moment.
"Your Majesty, the slave will leave first." Ji Qingzhou didn't want to make troubles, so he decided to go for the best plan.
However, just as he turned around to leave, King Heng grabbed his arm and pulled him back to his side.
At that moment, Ji Qingzhou smelled the smell of wine from Prince Heng.
No wonder the speech is strange, it turns out that I drank too much...
"Is the third brother really that worthy of your following?" King Heng asked in a deep voice, holding Ji Qingzhou's shoulders with his hands.
Ji Qingzhou thought, didn't you take the initiative to draw a clear line with Ji's family, why are you acting like a victim now?
But the king of Hengjun is a prince, and he drank too much, so it is naturally impossible for Ji Qingzhou to reason with him.
Thinking of this, Ji Qingzhou had no choice but to reply in a good voice: "Slave... just for food."
"Stop calling yourself a slave!" King Heng said angrily, "Do you really have to poke my heart?"
"Okay, okay..." Ji Qingzhou shrank his neck and said, "I won't say anything!"
Ji Qingzhou really has nothing to do with the king of Hengjun, who is younger than him, and looks like a careless person, but the careless person is still not sober.Ji Qingzhou only hates that she shouldn't have eaten that plate of dim sum, otherwise she wouldn't have eaten too much and went out for a walk, and encountered such a scene.
Seeing Ji Qingzhou's absent-minded face, King Hengjun immediately became angry, and he couldn't help but increase his strength in holding Ji Qingzhou's hand, and said in a deep voice: "Ji Qingzhou... this king has always been curious, what on earth are you doing?" Only then will you take a good look at this king? If this king goes to the third brother to ask you, do you think the third brother will give you to me?"
Ji Qingzhou frowned when he heard the words, and felt that the King of Hengjun was either a second-year-old patient, or he had some psychological problems.
Seeing that Ji Qingzhou's beautiful eyes never met his gaze, Prince Heng felt a little frustrated immediately.
"Why are you still refusing to look at this king?" King Heng said angrily, "Does this king make you feel sick?"
Ji Qingzhou is too close to Prince Heng, and it's really disgusting to be smelled of alcohol on his body.
"Why don't you talk?" King Heng grabbed Ji Qingzhou's shoulder and shook it vigorously.
Ji Qingzhou: ...
Damn, it's really scary to drink alcohol for the second disease! !
Ji Qingzhou tried her best to endure the churning in her stomach, but after being shaken by King Hengjun, she finally couldn't control it anymore...
Vomited……
Ji Qingzhou secretly thought while vomiting, the frequency of vomiting is a bit too much recently!
It's so abnormal... Is there something wrong...
"Ji Qingzhou..." King Heng was obviously a little confused, and he reached out to pull the other party, but was blocked by someone's arm.
King Hengjun was startled, and saw Li Zhan reach out to hold Ji Qingzhou with his hand, and patted Ji Qingzhou's back with his other hand.
"Third brother... why are you here?" King Heng was half sober at the moment, standing there a little at a loss.
Li Zhan glanced at him coldly, then turned to Ji Qingzhou and asked, "What's going on?"
"Maybe I ate too much..." Ji Qingzhou said with some embarrassment.
Seeing that he had finished vomiting, Li Zhan walked towards the guest room with his arm.
Hengjun Wang stood behind with red eyes, wanting to say something, but Li Zhan didn't give him a chance.
His eyes kept falling on Ji Qingzhou's back, and he sighed softly until the other party walked away.
"Let's find a doctor to have a look. Qin Zheng said that you have been throwing up a lot these days." Li Zhan said lightly.
Ji Qingzhou was a little embarrassed when he heard the words, and always felt that the regent's words were alluding to him eating too much.
However, he has eaten a lot recently, and he still has to control his food intake in the future, otherwise, if he vomits up early, it will be embarrassing in front of all civil and military officials.
Dong Dong immediately ordered the people in the garden to invite a doctor.
Ji Qingzhou went to rinse his mouth, his stomach was empty now, and he was a little hungry again...
