Breaking through the sky again

When Liu Fei was sent back in the most stable carriage by the servants ordered by the emperor, the whole family was shocked. Why did their master go out in the morning in a good mood, but when he came back, he was carried in unconscious and dying of?

Ru Yi was lying on the bed and couldn't wake Liu Fei up no matter how much she screamed, she cried until she was crying.Seeing her crying, Xiao Bao was so frightened that tears fell down his face. He already lost his father, and he really couldn't afford to lose this Uncle Liu who was even closer than his own father.He hugged Xiuxiu's waist, and looked up with teardrops on his little face, "Mother, what's wrong with Uncle Liu? Will he..." He swallowed back the dead words in time, Tong Yan said nothing, but when he met Liu For something wrong, Xiao Bao seemed to have grown up all of a sudden, and put his heart into it. He changed the sentence: "Will you wake up?"

In such a miserable atmosphere, Xiuxiu tried her best to hold back her tears. She put her arms around her son, "Of course, your Uncle Liu will definitely wake up!" Her tone was firm, to comfort Xiaobao Ruyi, and to encourage herself and Liu Fei .

At night, the whole family didn't feel sleepy, they stayed by Liu Fei's bed, even Xiaobao refused to go to sleep, but he was still young, so he slowly curled up in the chair and fell asleep, Xiuxiu called Ruyi Carry him back to the room, and continue to take care of him by yourself.

In the middle of the night, Liu Fei's face slowly turned red, and he was panting loudly. Xiuxiu probed his forehead, and it turned out that he had a fever.This was expected by the imperial physician, and she had already made preparations, so Xiuxiu didn't panic, and asked Xiao Si to fry the medicine she brought back. One of them sat up behind and hugged Liu Fei, and the other took a small spoon, Little by little, the medicinal soup was poured in between Liu Fei's teeth.People in a coma don't know how to cooperate, and it is extremely difficult to feed the medicine. If you feed a little too much, it will either flow out or cause choking. Xiuxiu can be said to have used the greatest patience that she has never had in her life. It is only when it is warm to cold that it is all fed in.Then there was the constant change of the towel on Liu Fei's forehead.When it was time for the rooster to crow, Liu Fei's palms were sweating profusely, and his breathing eased. Xiuxiu felt relieved and leaned against the bed to doze off for a while. It was already dawn.

After breakfast, the imperial physician came to see him again, and then Liu Fei's friends from the same department came to visit him again and again.Xiuxiu thought for a while, and ordered no one except the imperial physician and the inspector's own people to be allowed to enter the yard, and she went out of the front hall by herself to thank and block them.In this way, she was busy taking care of her inside and out for a long time. In the afternoon, another internal official came to deliver an order to let her enter the palace.

Could it be that Lele wants to see her again?She quickly denied this guess, Lele was capricious, but Liu Fei hadn't woken up yet, and the family needed someone, so she wouldn't distract herself with irrelevant things.If it is the emperor, what is the reason for calling her?She habitually called Master, and when she turned her head, there was nothing around her, and she suddenly realized in a moment of daze that Liu Fei would not advise her this time. She holds it all up on her own.

Before Xiuxiu left, she went to Liu Fei's room again. She stood by the bed and looked at his peaceful sleeping face, and said goodbye to him in her heart: I'm going, don't worry, I won't disappoint you!When he was about to turn around, he bent down again, squeezed his hand heavily, and said in the most relaxed tone, "Get up, I can't do it alone without you."

After entering the deep palace, it was indeed the emperor who wanted to see her. What the emperor talked to her this time was what Liu Fei expected yesterday.Xiuxiu handled this case personally, she knew the situation thoroughly, and Liu Fei had done her homework in advance, so she answered the emperor's questions clearly and smoothly.

After listening to her opinion, the emperor nodded and smiled with satisfaction. He praised and sighed at the same time, saying that Xiuxiu and his party were able to find out such a big case on the way back to Beijing, which can be called a rare capable minister. If everyone in the court is like this, wouldn't I just sit back and relax?After the case is settled, there must be a lot of rewards!After speaking, he ordered Ci to sit and watch tea.

Xiuxiu hurriedly said: "As ministers who feed on the court's salary, they should do their duty faithfully to share the worries of the king, and dare not ask for any rewards, but..." She took a sneak look at Long Yan, then lowered her head and said: "This time, thanks to Liu Fei's carefulness, It was he who discovered that the stalks left after the harvest this year, which were prone to flooding in previous years, were thick and strong, which was a sign of a good harvest, so he deduced that some officials lied about the disaster situation. If there is credit, it should be attributed to him.”

"Liu Fei..." The emperor mumbled his name thoughtfully, "He is indeed a talent... Hey, by the way, how is he doing now?"

Xiuxiu looked sad, "Your Majesty, Liu Fei hasn't woken up yet."

"Oh, it's okay." The emperor waved his hand, stood up and walked over, "The imperial doctor came back and reported to me that Liu Fei's pulse is not dangerous, and it's only a matter of time before he wakes up. Aiqing, you don't have to worry too much." He saw Xiuxiu He stood up again because of his approach, and patted her on the shoulder to signal her to sit down.For some reason, Xiuxiu was always different from other courtiers in his heart, and now that she has made new achievements, he loves her more and more, and wants to get close to her, and doesn't want her to be formal with him.

After listening to the little emperor's words, Xiuxiu felt a lot more relieved: the imperial physician might downplay the illness to comfort her, but what he reported to the emperor must be the truth.At this moment, she was watching the emperor walking up and down the hall with his head bowed and his hands behind his back, and he glanced at her from time to time, but he was a little bit hesitant to say something, wondering in his heart, hey emperor, if you have something to say, hurry up, I'm fine and I'll retire.But this is just thinking about it, how dare she be presumptuous in reality?

The emperor walked past her again, finally made up his mind and turned his head, smiling: "Liu Fei... I seem to remember that he is nearly forty years old, right? He hasn't married yet, has he?"

Xiuxiu didn't understand why the emperor suddenly asked about Liu Fei's personal affairs, she hesitated for a moment, and had no choice but to answer: "Yes..."

"Get a family and start a business, first get a family and then start a business. This Liu Fei has lived up to the good times of many years. He must want to wait for his success and fame before marrying a lady. Hehe, it seems that his vision is very high." , with a teasing tone full of appreciation, he looked at Xiuxiu and said with a smile: "Since you said that Liu Fei has made a lot of contributions, then I will reward him first... er, a good marriage, let him be named on the gold list, wedding ceremony, double Xilinmen! Bao Aiqing, what do you think?"

Xiuxiu originally intended to recommend Liu Fei in front of the emperor, but unexpectedly the emperor mentioned Liu Fei's marriage first. Xiuxiu was a little confused, thought about it, and smiled and said, "The emperor has such a good intention, why don't you wait for Liu Fei to wake up?" After telling him personally, why not come to ask the minister for an outsider's opinion?"

"Hey—marriage matters have always been the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers. Liu Fei's parents died early, and his only brother is not in Beijing now. Since you are his chief official, it is reasonable for you to make decisions about his marriage! , as soon as he wakes up, you can tell him the good news, and it can also soothe his fright when he fell into the water."

The emperor said excitedly, not in a negotiating tone, but in the meaning of "I've made up my mind" and insisted on Xiuxiu agreeing.Xiuxiu felt a dull pain in her heart, she couldn't tell what it was like.When the list was released a few days ago, Xiao Si said that a group of people scrambled around to ask about Liu Fei's situation, and there were many high-ranking officials and nobles among them. Now that I think about it, some high-ranking official in the court should have taken a fancy to Liu Fei's talent and character, and begged the emperor to give him a marriage. ?The matter between me and Liu Fei is a risk to the world. If it is made public, it is hard to predict what the result will be. Now the emperor intends to let him marry an important official in the court, which will definitely help Liu Fei's future... One difficulty, one easy, One bad and one good, how to choose?The answer seems to be very simple... Xiuxiu gritted her teeth, as long as Liu Fei is willing, she can let Xian!

"I don't know which family's daughter the emperor said?"

Seeing that Xiuxiu was relieved, the emperor was very happy, and asked the eunuch to move a chair and put it on the opposite side of Xiuxiu, and sat down comfortably, "Don't worry, Baoqing, you are my right-hand man, Liu Fei With such a high spirit, I think...you must give him a golden branch and jade leaf, and then it will be considered satisfactory."

Golden branches and jade leaves?Could it be...

"Princess Anle?!" Xiuxiu's tone was full of shock.

There is only one unmarried princess in the palace, who else would it be?

"Hmm... how about it? Bao Qing, I didn't treat you and Liu Fei badly, did I?" The emperor stared at Xiuxiu with a smile, and said slowly: "My imperial sister is pretty and lively, and she is very smart, although... she is a bit savage. , but in fact she is not squeamish, she will be a good wife... Liu Fei was born under your family, if he becomes a son-in-law, then you and I are almost like relatives, so this is a good thing that has the best of both worlds, including Qing."

The best of both worlds?Xiuxiu smiled wryly in her heart, it can be called the best of all three, and there is another beauty, which is Lele.Yesterday, Lele mentioned Liu Fei several times in his talk, and also said that he hoped to marry someone who didn’t value her princess status when he met Yu Wei. Now that I think about it, it’s obviously for him. I only blame myself for being slow at the time. No brains.Lele has a temper like her, but is younger and more beautiful than her, and has a noble status. She can be called a good match, but why is she a princess?

According to the rules of the dynasty, son-in-law only enjoys wealth, but is not allowed to be an official. Liu Feiruo married the princess. His years of studying hard, his ambitions, and his long-term expectations all came to naught?Isn't Liu Fei's extraordinary talent wasted in vain?Emperor, is this what you call a reward?What the hell are you thinking?

"The sacred heart is unpredictable..." Liu Fei's drunken words suddenly appeared in Xiuxiu's mind. She raised her head in fear and stared blankly at the young emperor in front of her. The emperor looked directly at her with a smile on his face. With both eyes, there is a calmness in which the world is under control.

The reason why Liu Fei fell from the first place to the third place suddenly seemed to make sense. It turned out that the emperor had already made arrangements!If the No. 3 man is recruited to be the son-in-law, it is inevitable that some people will comment that the royal family abolishes the public for personal reasons and bury talents, but if it is only No.[-], it will not be so eye-catching. Maybe some people will think that Liu Feizhong's Tanhua is a princess. the light...

This is not only a harm to Liu Fei, but also an insult!Xiuxiu almost jumped up from her seat, but she held back. "I told you to calm down!" The master's voice was in his head.

In fact, she is already calm enough and rational enough. No matter whether Liu Fei stays in Beijing or is released after high school, the two of them will definitely find it difficult to stay together. How could she not know Liu Fei's worries and resistance hidden in his heart?However, a man should aim everywhere and should not be entangled by his children's affair. She has already made a secret, and a condition that Liu Fei must agree to is in her hand, which is enough to persuade him to accept a life of getting together less and leaving more after marriage.Just when she thought that Liu Fei's bright future required her to make sacrifices, she was also thinking about how to use her determination to force Liu Fei to back down.But, how could she force Liu Fei to retreat again and again?How could she force him to shed his pride and become a royal pet?How could he agree?he will...

Resist!

As soon as these two words came to mind, Xiuxiu broke into a cold sweat.Liu Fei can't resist the decree. No matter what the reason is, he has not fulfilled the "three yuan and first" that the emperor said. Whether the old crime will be investigated or not depends on the emperor's thought. How can he offend the dragon again at this juncture of life and death? Yan?But with Liu Fei's temperament, would he compromise to save his life?The answer is obvious!Then, instead of making him face this choice and adding to the crime, why not... Xiuxiu suddenly rejoiced that the emperor came to ask her first.

The emperor watched her ponder for a long time, then stood up solemnly with a calm face, and unconsciously pinched the armrest of the chair, looking even more nervous than Xiuxiu.He grinned and froze the corners of his mouth, "Bao Qing...thank you..."

Xiuxiu flicked up her robe, and according to what he said, she knelt down squarely.

"Your Majesty forgives my sins, I... can't accept the order for Liu Fei!"
