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

Xiao Di's eyes moved slightly: "His Royal Highness once said that A Di would not be allowed to get close again, if he lived in the main hall..."

Xie Qingci coughed lightly: "Isn't it time for you to heal your wounds? Naturally, everything should be healed first."

"Besides——the hall is spacious, and only the king lives there. Could it be that there is still room for one of your beds?"

Xiao Di has been thinking about how to enter the hall again these days, but he never thought that this crisis gave him a chance.

Once injured, you can enter the room.

For Xiao Di, this was simply heaven-sent ecstasy.

He didn't delay at all, and before Xie Qingci could respond, he had already hugged the quilt and left like a gust of wind.

Xie Qingci rubbed his eyebrows.

In a hurry to talk, he did the stupid thing of luring wolves into the house again.

It's just...he seems to have gotten used to Xiao Di's aura, as long as he looks at his figure at night, he can feel a little peace in his heart.

Xiao Di and him have gone through so many things, first they rescued him, then they almost hugged each other and slept in the middle of the night when they were in danger, and then they shared the same room with Xiao Di, so it was naturally different from before.

No matter what, you can't be calm.

Imperial Physician Hu has also been ordered to make the ointment, and it was sent up bluntly: "This is a good medicine for healing injuries, and specially added pearl powder and other skin-nourishing properties. If you use it every day, it will definitely do what your highness said. Muscle growth without leaving traces..."

Xie Qingci was certain in his heart, he took the medicine to play with his injury, and said to Xiao Di with a smile: "Did you hear that? If you want not to leave scars, you have to rub this medicine on time."

Xiao Di's eyes darkened, he stared at Xie Qingci's thin fingers, licked his lips and said: "I want to be bold and ask for a favor."

Although these words were asking for grace, his tone still didn't seem to be a little low-key, but it was unquestionable.

Seeing him like this, Xie Qingci already had plans in his heart, turned his eyes and said: "Don't think about it, there are some graces that you can't ask for."

After saying this, there was a pain in my heart.

He hardly dared to look at those dark eyes.

You have to force yourself to suppress and cover up, pretending to be plain.

Xiao Di didn't look angry at all, instead he looked closer at him with a smile on his face and said, "I don't dare to be presumptuous towards His Highness, and if His Highness grants A Di, it's just because he loves A Di for losing half his life, okay?"

Xie Qingci's face was expressionless, but he took the medicine without a trace in his hand.

Dip the ointment with your fingers, and apply it on Xiao Di's wheat-colored back.

The whip wounds were dripping vertically and horizontally, and the moment it was covered by the medicine, a burning sensation came over the entire back.

But through the thick and numb pain, I could vaguely feel Xie Qingci's fingertips gently caressing, and the slight coolness of my brother's fingertips made Xiao Di squint his eyes comfortably.

Xie Qingci looked at Xiao Di's injured back, but his hands trembled slightly.

Anger, heartache, injustice... All kinds of emotions come up at the same time, and only by restraining oneself can they be suppressed and not explode.

He even felt a bit of resentment towards his father. The whip of his father did not delay his disintegration of the nobles, but also eased the anger of the powerful with the help of Xiao Di's blood. Wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?

The power is turmoil, but Xiao Di's flesh and blood are flying everywhere. Is this fair?

In the previous life, Xiao Di was violent, cold-blooded, and would use any means to achieve his goals, so why is it not the case with his father who is sitting on the throne now?

Besides... If it wasn't for him, how could Xiao Di be reduced to this level?

Xie Qingci forced himself to suppress his emotions, and applied the medicine to the wound one by one. Xiao Di just lay on his stomach, motionless, at the mercy of Xie Qingci, his upper body was naked, his shoulders and back were all exposed, and his hair was in a bun. But it was combed meticulously, and with long eyelashes that drooped slightly, this appearance made people feel cute and pitiful when they looked at it.

In addition to the fresh whip wounds, there are still many faintly visible faded scars on Xiao Di's back, which is particularly shocking to look at.

Xie Qingci stretched out his hand and gently brushed over one of the slight bumps.

"When was this left?"

Xiao Di felt his brother's caress carefully, unwilling to let go of even the slightest movement. He thought for a while before speaking softly: "It's been a long time, I can't remember..."

Since he was a child, he had been severely trained and beaten by his father, and his body was not unscathed every day. How could he remember the origin of this scar?

Xie Qing was silent.

This scar is not too shallow, if it is an ordinary person, it will definitely remember the origin and time of the scar clearly.

But such a wound is just an inconspicuous trace among the many wounds on Xiao Di's body.

A boy who is only 16 years old is like a tree that has grown in the wind, frost and cold. In his previous life, he only complained about his distortion, but never thought about how it is difficult to grow and survive.

Thinking about it, his eyes became a little swollen, he hurriedly took the medicine, and couldn't bear to look at the wounded back again.

At this time, there were three light and polite knocks on the door of the hall.

Immediately, Chunliu's voice came: "Your Highness, the Crown Prince has come."

Xie Qingci was taken aback, hurriedly got up and walked out.

After this series of events, Xie Huayan loved Xie Qingci even more than before, and he never had the chance to believe in that dream for a long time.

Xie Huayan took a deep look at his younger brother, and said in a deep voice, "What? Just cried?"

Xie Qingci shook his head.

"I see that your eye circles are red, as if you've just cried." Xie Huayan paused and said, "I thought someone was bullying you."

Xie Qingci was taken aback.

Where did he cry? He clearly just... looked at Xiao Di's wound.

"This is Liuyun Palace, if someone bullies me here, they will not know how to choose a place."

The prince quietly stared at Xie Qingci, feeling a little relieved in his heart.

I don't know when it started, his younger brother who was always sick and weak also began to become calm. These days, he is extremely comfortable in collecting grain and doing business in the suburbs of Beijing.

Coupled with his identity, he looks like no one dares to bully him.

Xie Huayan smiled lightly and said, "I'm relieved that you can say that—where's Xiao Di? I want to talk to him."

Xiao Di...

Xie Qingci's ears were flushed, he couldn't tell his brother that Xiao Di was lying on his bed in the hall right now?

Xie Qingci coughed softly: "Brother...do you have something to do with him?"

"It's still about saving you last time." Xie Huayan didn't hide anything from Xie Qingci, and said, "You were in danger this time, and Xiao Di did a great job by crossing the bridge to save you regardless of the danger. He has always been close to you again. I was thinking of taking this opportunity to promote him to an official position so as to support him..."

Xie Qingci's heart trembled: "...what official position do you plan to give him?"

Xie Huayan shook his head and said: "Who knows, but he refused straight away, saying that if he wanted to be promoted, in the future, but the favor between you and him when he made the move this time, he said that I don't need to make up for it, let alone take advantage of it. .”

Xie Qing resigned.

Xiao Di... unexpectedly rejected Xie Huayan?

He vaguely remembered that Xiao Di was a person who would do anything for power.

He is extremely greedy for power, and he is indifferent. Everything he does is to dormantly approach his goal step by step, and he will never give up any chance to make progress.

But this time he refused?

Although he knew exactly what Xiao Di was rushing to, and it was definitely not for this reason, but when he heard these words, there were waves of ripples in his ears.

The matter of receiving food in the suburbs of Beijing is almost done.

In fact, the most difficult job this time was the first measurement of the cultivated land, which was really going to offend Xungui head-on. Xie Qingci and Xiao Di leveled those people, and Xu Huizhou and Xie Huaiwei took them back here. Although it is not easy to redistribute the people on the cultivated land, it will not be a big fight after all.

The autumn sun was scorching, and the two of them sat on the continuous wheat field without paying attention, chatting lightly.

"As soon as these people are distributed, the matter will finally be settled." Xu Huizhou said: "The land taken back from the dignitaries this time has tens of millions of acres, not to mention the rations for the march, and it is also possible to raise another army. "

"Yeah, I never thought that these people look silent, but in fact, they are all country moths." Xie Huaiwei snorted coldly: "Father rewarded them with a few houses, and they can use the houses as a starting point." It's really presumptuous to allocate all the fertile land with a radius of thousands of miles to himself, if it weren't for Qingci's grain collection, these people don't know how long they will be arrogant without telling His Majesty."

Xu Huizhou was silent, but instead he felt that His Majesty had long been afraid of these so-called founding lords and thought about these places, but it was difficult to speak for various reasons. Xie Qingci and Xiao Di took the initiative to stand up and share these Taking back the cultivated land, in His Majesty's heart, should be a credit.

The sky was full of clouds and clouds, and the two were thinking about their own thoughts, but neither of them noticed that behind the nearby haystacks, there were already a few shadows talking quietly.

"Why don't these two people leave? They are gone, so we can do it."

"What's the hurry, it's still early before dark!"

"Have you identified that family? Are you sure they will all come?"

"Don't worry, their family, old and young, are all at home. With a little torch, none of them can escape!"
