After the cannon fodder prince collapsed, the country will not perish

Xie Qingci paused, and said patiently: "What if?"

Xiao Di stopped talking, turned his eyes on Xie Qingci, and then quietly moved away: "If I talk to Your Highness, Your Highness will say that the subordinates have committed crimes."

Xie Qingci was about to answer.

Suddenly someone came in and said: "Your Highness, officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs are waiting for you in the outer hall."

"Official from the Ministry of Household Affairs?" Xie Qingci was taken aback: "How did you find the palace?"

"You can be regarded as an outsider. The people from the household department said that there was something urgent, so they didn't care too much, and came to see you in person."

Xie Qingci looked at Xiao Di who was lying on the bed, his upper body was bare, showing plump and distinct muscles, but unfortunately his back was covered with bruised whip wounds, Xie Qingci looked at it, and his heart was infatuated with pain again : "Doctor Hu, how long will this injury last?"

"Don't worry, Your Highness, this is a skin trauma, no bones or muscles are injured, and with the physique of the Flying Cavalry Captain, it will recover in half a month."

Xie Qingci calmed down, and then glanced at the beautiful back of his pony's welts. After a pause, he couldn't help but said: "After the injury heals, it will leave a scar."

Xiao Di, who was lying on the bed, stared at Xie Qingci.

"This..." Imperial Physician Hu did not expect Xie Qingci to ask this question: "After the whip wound heals, it is very likely that there will be scars..."

"Use the best medicine for maintenance, and make sure not to leave any injuries." Xie Qingci moved his eyes away, coughed lightly and said, "It's not about pearl powder or something. I remember that the sixth princess was injured by a fall. The skin-nourishing ointment for wound healing does not leave any trace afterwards, you go ask the prescription and use it for him..."

Doctor Hu: "???"

Is your Highness mistaken? Those skin care ointments have always been used by concubines and noble women. After all, women have to marry, and their appearance and complexion must not be compromised. But this... this Xiao Di looks cold and hard. Apply those delicate skin care ointments to him?

Isn't this a cow chewing peonies? Xiao Di doesn't need to serve others with color...

Seeing Xie Qingci's back, Imperial Physician Hu couldn't say anything, glanced at Xiao Di's slender and strong body, and said: "The pills His Highness mentioned are very rare, and they have a delicate fragrance. I don't think the general is very Appropriate, since the Flying Cavalry Captain doesn't need it, so I can avoid these tastes..."

Xiao Di's cold voice interrupted Doctor Hu's words: "...I need it"

Physician Hu swallowed, and was stunned: "You..."

Xiao Di was expressionless, and said dryly, "Didn't you hear His Highness's order?"

Since Xie Qingci said it specifically, it's probably because of the scars on his body.

It's also... my brother's body is as flawless as white jade, and if my back is full of ditches, I won't feel comfortable if I touch it in the future...

Xiao Di, who never cared about the wounds on his body, suddenly began to care about the appearance of the wound on his back after it healed.

If it is ferocious and terrifying, wouldn't there be another stumbling block between him and his brother? !

He will never allow this to happen!

"This... the medicine for removing scars is separate and must be used every day, which is very troublesome and cumbersome." Doctor Hu thought to himself, how could Xiao Di, a neglected man in the battlefield, touch such a thing on his back every day Son: "Captain Flying Cavalry will definitely be impatient..."

"Go and get the ointment as soon as possible." Xiao Di said blankly, "I want three times a day."

People around: "???"

The ointment used by Captain Flying Cavalry is sensational enough, and... three times a day?

The concubines who serve the bedroom are not as particular about him, are they? !

Physician Hu swallowed what he wanted to say, and withdrew with a strange expression.

"Your Highness!" Seeing Xie Qing's resignation, the household official got up and said: "We found that there is still a village in Yanhe in the suburbs of Beijing that we have not measured. It is necessary to sort out the data of the fields, if the village is not surveyed, the figures may be inaccurate."

In order to measure the acres of land this time, Xie Qingci did everything by himself in order to know exactly what to do, and surveyed the fertile land with the officials of the household department. In the past two days, he thought that all the fertile land had been surveyed, but who knew that he had missed a village .

Xie Qingci glanced at the sky outside, and immediately stood up: "It's still early, you follow me to measure as soon as possible, so that the data can be submitted as soon as possible."

The official of the household department nodded: "Lieutenant Feiqi is being raised under punishment, and there are bandits appearing in the place where he is going. I will call a few people from the household department to accompany His Highness."

Xie Qingci had already fastened his cloak and nodded hastily.

"Your Majesty, His Majesty is on your side in the matter of the good land, and punished the newly appointed Flying Captain." The Prime Minister happened to leave the palace with Brother An, and greeted him: "It can be seen that your favor is not fading. I heard that Xiao Di was beaten. only half-life left."

Brother An didn't feel happy at all: "Even if he was killed, wouldn't those fertile fields come back?"

"In my opinion, whether you want to come back or not depends on His Majesty's will. Obviously, His Majesty also wants to take this opportunity to take in the good land, so the prince is naturally in a dilemma."

Brother An looked at the prime minister; "Hey, I remember that the prime minister also has a lot of fields in the suburbs of Beijing. You said, we just sit and wait for death?"

"Your Majesty has the same intentions, so what can you and I do?" The prime minister said indifferently: "I heard that His Highness went to Yanhe to survey the fields again today. I heard that there are bandits haunting that place. You said that if anything happened, His Highness would You will know that people's hearts are sinister, and when the time comes, it will be too late to regret."

Brother An was taken aback, and slowly said: "Bandits..."

Before he made his fortune and at this time, Yanhe's bandit leader was a good brother, if he were to give Xie Qing a little bit of power, he must...

But Xie Qingci is the prince after all, and Brother An was apprehensive and was thinking about it alone.

"My lord, I know that you love your Zhuangzi and fertile land, but if your highness is really successful, what you lack is probably not as simple as a few acres of land."

Brother An hurriedly asked: "What does this mean?"

"What do you think, why Your Highness rejected my proposal to transport rations, took the initiative to undertake the preparation of military rations, and still set his eyes on the fertile fields in the suburbs of Beijing?" The prime minister lowered his voice and said slowly: "He is from the prince's camp. People, doing this is naturally to build up the prince's strength, and when the time comes, he will take care of everything, and then let the prince go along with the flow to undertake the military rations."

"With this credit, the crown prince's position will definitely be more stable than it is now...the three of them are brothers, and only the king of Chu..." The prime minister sighed meaningfully: "even if someone wants to help him at that time, it will not be too late. The general situation is gone, and it will be difficult to return to heaven.”

Brother An's heart trembled suddenly, but he said disapprovingly: "No matter which of them ascends the throne, I am the prince personally appointed by His Majesty. I have a fief and a title. What can they do to me?"

The prime minister sighed and shook his head again: "Haven't you figured out the clues to this incident? Your Majesty is still here, and they dare to try their hand. When they are in power, alas..."

Brother An lightly clenched his fist, killing intent flashed in his heart.

Xiao Di waited for a while, but he did not see Xie Qingci coming back, so he called Rong Gonggong to ask: "Where did your Highness go?"

"An official from the household department came to ask His Highness to measure the fields, and His Highness has gone out."

Xiao Di immediately said: "Where are you going to survey the fields? Who is there?"

When Xie Qingci was there just now, Xiao Di still had a sick and pitiful look on his face, but now his eyes suddenly filled with coldness, making people daunting.

Eunuch Rong said: "... I heard it was Yanhe, it seems that he went with some officials from the household department."

Yanhe?

There are steep cliffs and fast-flowing water. I have never mentioned going here before, why now...

Xiao Di's eyes darkened, and he struggled to stand up and get ready to get dressed.

Eunuch Rong was so frightened that he hurriedly said: "You have suffered such a serious injury, you can't lie down comfortably, and..."

Xiao Di's eyes swept coldly, and he was so frightened that he immediately fell silent...

That's right, this is a person who dared to cut off the carrion himself, so it's not surprising that he abused himself so much.

Xiao Di endured the whip wound, gritted his teeth and walked to the entrance of the hall, a thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead.

His heart beat faster for no reason, and he didn't dare to delay and forced himself out of the door. After thinking about it, he was finally uneasy, and hooked his hands at Eunuch Rong: "Run to the East Palace and tell your Highness about going to Yanhe Prince!"

If he hadn't been tortured, then naturally he didn't need to bother others, but in the current situation, if something really happened... Xiao Di's face suddenly became serious, and he would never put His Highness in danger no matter what!

Several officials from the household department who were not familiar with Xie Qingci went to the bank of the Yanhe River, which is located in the mountains and forests on the outskirts of Beijing, which is extremely remote.

"Your Highness, the terrain here is steep and the arable land is relatively scattered. Although there is only one place reported by the Ministry of Household Affairs, there is no guarantee that there will be any further forward." A middle-aged official in his forties said: "We don't Going forward, so as not to miss it?"

Xie Qingci was focused on re-exploring the field as soon as possible, and didn't feel anything wrong at all. After surveying a cultivated land, he followed these people to the depths of the bushes without any precautions.

At first, there were still some rural villages and towns on the side of the road, and a few passers-by appeared scatteredly, but no one was seen as we walked forward, surrounded by mountains in the northern suburbs, majestic and majestic, splitting the sky.The sound of the river's turbulence can be vaguely heard. The Yanhe River in the suburbs of Beijing is in the flood season, and the wind and waves are not small.

Xie Qingci looked at the ground full of bushes, and said in surprise: "It doesn't look like there is fertile land here?"

Just as he was about to turn around and turn back, the sound of swords being unsheathed suddenly resounded around him, and several big men were already approaching with fierce faces holding swords, and their aura was overwhelming.

"The imperial court sent some of you to take over the land?"

Recognizing that these people were dressed as desperate bandits, Xie Qingci and the others all changed their expressions.
