Hongdi

He Borui's slightly heavier footsteps can usually wake Yu Xun up, but Yu Xun didn't wake up today.He Borui gently pushed the sleeping person on the bed, and seeing that the person was still awake, he leaned over and called out in a low voice: "Your Highness, Your Highness wake up, Your Highness wake up soon."

Still no response, He Borui panicked all of a sudden, she carefully moved Yu Xun who was sleeping soundly facing inside, only to find that Yu Xun's originally fair face was red like haze, and the fine beads of sweat on his forehead were about to break his hair They were stuck together, and when I touched them, it was so hot that I had a fever. "The weather in March when the ice and snow have just retreated, although it is no longer cold, but it is still very freezing at night. Running to save people all night, running to the main hall with dry hair and clothes and warm clothes, and dressing up if you are injured Instead, he went to deal with other people's affairs first, and after a lot of trouble, his health is poor, so it's strange if he doesn't get sick." He Borui was extremely annoyed now, "I should have prepared ginger soup for him to dispel the cold, why did I forget Woolen cloth!"

"Rui'er, what happened?"

He Borui was thinking about it, but unexpectedly Yu Xun woke up. She hurriedly cleared up the annoyance in her eyes, and looked at Yu Xun hesitantly.

"What's wrong? Is my brother back or Han Qi is here again? Or my father asked me to go over?"

"Your Highness has a fever."

"Oh, then you just go to the imperial doctor to get some antipyretics. Why did you call me? I'll sleep a little longer. Don't call me for anything other than the three things I just mentioned." After finishing speaking, Yu Xun Turning over to sleep, He Borui hurriedly stopped him, and said falteringly: "Your Highness, that, that..." Yu Xun opened his eyes weakly, waiting for her next words.At this time, Lan Xin pushed the door open and came in, and said to Yuxun with a blessing, "His Royal Highness, Eunuch Li is urging you in the outer hall, and I hope your Highness can be a little faster."

"Bold, how could His Highness the Crown Prince be so rude in front of you!" He Borui became anxious for a moment, she looked at Yu Xun who was a little confused from the burning, and felt an indescribable pain in her heart.

Yu Xun sighed softly, "Rui'er, don't blame Lan Xin, I got up late. Lan Xin, go and tell Eunuch Li, I'll go right away."

Lan Xin backed away in response, Yu Xun looked at He Borui who looked aggrieved and slightly angry, and stood up vigorously, "Ruier, help me change my clothes."

"Your Highness is still ill." He Borui pouted and helped Yu Xun up.

Yu Xun stretched out his hand and scratched He Borui's tall nose, and said with a doting smile, "It's you who protects your weaknesses. Hurry up, you have angered my father, and we will not have a good life."

He Borui dressed Yu Xun neatly with great reluctance, tears welled up in his eyes.Yu Xun couldn't bear it, so he said, "It's not common for me to have a fever, so don't worry too much. Ruier, listen carefully."

Seeing Yuxun's serious face, He Borui also nodded solemnly, and only heard him say: "When you go to the imperial hospital to get me medicine, they are not allowed to put bitter pods."

"Ah? That bitter pomegranate is the most effective for reducing fever, why can't I let it go?"

"It doesn't matter, you go find a way, anyway, I won't drink if it's bitter."

"Your Highness..."

"Oh, by the way, my brother will come over in a while, you check the time, if I haven't come back after an hour, you can ask my brother to find me." He Borui nodded in agreement.Yu Xun turned around and opened the door, and walked out.

Eunuch Li, who came to deliver the decree, was impatient for a long time, but when he saw Yu Xun coming out, he forced a smile on his face and saluted him, saying, "Your Highness Jin'an."

"My father-in-law has been waiting for a long time. Dare I ask why my father wants me?"

"I, a slave, don't know what the Holy One means. It's important that Your Highness follow me to the Chunman Palace to meet the Holy Spirit."

Yu Xun also knew that nothing could come out of this man's mouth, so he didn't say anything more, so he rushed to Chunman Palace with him.

Chunman Palace is the place where Emperor Xiaoyin played and played with his concubines. There are few places for people to rest in the huge palace courtyard, but there are many places for people to play.When Yu Xun arrived, Emperor Xiaoyin was sitting on a soft couch and playing with Beauty Qian who had just entered the palace. When he saw Yu Xun coming in, he ignored him and continued to eat apples by the beauty's hand.On the other hand, Han Qi stood aside expressionlessly, but there was a cold murderous look lurking in his eyes.Yu Xun secretly said in his heart: "Sure enough, I still came to sue. Hehe, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, so let's adapt to the situation."

Yu Xun walked up to the soft couch, knelt down to salute, and pretended to be stupid: "My son greets my father, my father has a long life. I don't know what my father ordered when I summoned my son?"

"I can't ask you to come here if I have nothing to do? You are also the prince, so if you have nothing to do, move around more, and no one in this palace can stop you."

"Father taught me that."

Yu Xun answered obediently, and took a peek at the emperor, but saw that the emperor was staring at him with interest, his heart shivered, and he hurriedly lowered his head even more.

"Yu Xun, come here."

Yu Xun knelt forward and climbed two steps, came to the soft couch, the emperor leaned over, raised his face, "Why, sick?"

"Thank you, father, for your concern. It's just that I've suffered from a bit of wind and cold, so I'm fine." Seeing the emperor's eyes fixed on her, Yu Xun couldn't help but trembled with fear.

The emperor let go of his hand and pulled him up, "Take your medicine quickly if you are sick, don't delay." Beauty Qian peeled the grapes and gently put them into his mouth, he immediately smiled and kissed the beauty's face .The palace people on the side have long been accustomed to the strangeness, and Han Qi seems to be accustomed to it, but Yu Xun has never seen it very often. A face that was originally red and hot due to fever has now started to smoke.

The emperor looked up at Yu Xun, and smiled, "Yu Xun, I heard your fourth brother say something interesting about you today, would you like to explain it to your father?"

Yu Xun swallowed, and asked in a trembling whisper: "I can, can I ask, what did the father hear about?"

"Ah, that's what you had in your morning dreams."

Yu Xun felt dizzy for a while, and even his neck was red...

"Hehe, don't be ashamed, don't be ashamed, what's the matter. Come, come here." As he spoke, the emperor tilted his body, pulled Yu Xun over, and pushed him to sit on the soft couch.Yu Xun was overwhelmed by the flattery, and hurriedly got up, but he couldn't resist the emperor's strength.

"Father, I can't make it. How can I sit with my father?"

"You are my son, or the crown prince. There is nothing wrong with it. Come, tell your father, which beauty is it that you dreamed of? That little girl from He Jia, or the maid Lan Xin that the queen gave you?" ?”

Yu Xun had gradually calmed down, he glanced at Han Qi out of the corner of his eye, and saw that there were black lines of astonishment in his eyes, but he was frightened and angry but dared not speak.Immediately guessing that the emperor had other plans, he put on a cowardly expression, and said softly: "None, yes, it is a woman in Wu Daoqing's painting, and I don't know who it is."

"On Wu Daoqing's painting? This is not easy, Wu Daoqing has been dead for hundreds of years." The emperor frowned slightly, and suddenly slapped Yu Xun, so shocked that Yu Xun almost lost his breath. "Yu Xun, today is your 20th coming-of-age ceremony, right? Is there any arrangement from the Ministry of Rites?"

"Go back to Emperor Father, this son-in-law hasn't asked yet."

"How about this, Li Gui, pass on my will, and the crown prince will choose his concubine when he comes of age."

"Huh? Royal father? No, isn't it good? Don't you usually go to the Taimiao to pray for blessings and get crowned again?"

"Why, you are not satisfied with my arrangement? Han Qing told me to go to the Taimiao, but the Taimiao is too far away. Didn't I care about the coming-of-age ceremony of your elder brothers? Besides, the draft will be in a few days, you Go with Royal Father, pick the one you like, and take it as your compensation from Royal Father."

"But father, the elder brothers haven't taken concubines yet. My son, how can I surpass him? If you think about my son, I'm already flattered, really." Yu Xun said seriously He said, but he had made up his mind a long time ago: "Absolutely don't want it, once there is someone next to my pillow, what can I hide!"

"Father, I just want to go out of the palace to have fun. I heard the third brother and fourth brother often talk about things outside the palace. I really want to go and see. As for the matter of choosing a concubine, I think it seems a bit early. Besides, this draft is specially prepared by the Ministry of Rites for my father, and it is full of carefully selected beauties, how can my son be presumptuous." As he said, Yu Xun's big moist eyes drooped shyly, and his long eyelashes hid Hold the truth in your eyes.

For a moment, the emperor was a little stunned. He remembered the silver-haired woman more than ten years ago, the person who healed his pain and had a place in his heart. In the vortex of power.Even though he obeyed her in everything, she still cruelly used him in every possible way, and in the end he had to kill her, that beautiful and sad woman who was desperate for power.Then there was a place in his heart that was empty, once he touched it, it was so painful that he couldn't breathe, and even in the end, he felt a wave of disgust, so that every time he saw the child who looked very similar to her, he couldn't breathe. I couldn't help but want to strangle this innocent child.For a moment, he caressed Yu Xun's face and muttered to himself: "Why can't your mother be as obedient and honest as you? I love her so much and spoil her so much, why is she not satisfied?"

For the first time, Yu Xun heard about his mother from the emperor's mouth. For the first time, the emperor's hand brushed his face warmly. For the first time, Yu Xun showed an aggrieved expression in front of the emperor.For her mother, Yu Xun only has too many unknown thoughts: others say that she is greedy for profit, but Yu Xun knows that her obsession with power is only because her most important things are destroyed by others; But Yu Xun knew that the sadness deeply hidden under her beautiful face was so desperate.The way his mother cried and said sorry to him before she died deeply hurt his young heart. At that moment, he hated the city that imprisoned his mother and the man in front of him.However, time has settled everything and downplayed the hatred. Now he no longer cares about who is right and who is wrong. In this cold and cold family, there are too many right and wrong that cannot be distinguished at all.Now he is easy to satisfy, a little care can make him very happy, because only in this way can he find the proof of his existence in this place he calls home.He lowered his head and didn't dare to look into his father's eyes. He was afraid, afraid that this brief tenderness would suddenly disappear, and even more afraid that his father would suddenly turn his back on him and question him, afraid that he would not be able to escape today.

The emperor put away his ugly expression, and said: "Forget it, it would be good to let Yan Xiao and Han Qi take you outside to play often. Just don't play wild, you know?"

Yuxun nodded yes.

Han Qi didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the emperor's gourd, but he didn't dare to ask rashly, but when he saw that the emperor didn't mention the incident of someone breaking into the forbidden palace at night, he couldn't help feeling a little anxious, and it also appeared between his brows.The emperor glanced at him, and smiled at Yu Xun: "Yu Xun, I heard from Han Qi that a thief slipped to your side last night? Have you ever sent someone to check?"

Yu Xun was startled, and couldn't hide in secret, so he said: "Going back to the emperor, the fourth brother and the son have already checked carefully. Although the blood stains spread all the way to the palace wall, no one was found in the palace. The son is also very worried. It's worrying."

"Well, that's it. Let Ge Husheng transfer some people from the imperial army to take precautions and be prepared."

Yu Xun was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Thank you, Father." Then he knelt down to thank him.

The emperor's decision was a surprise to Yu Xun.Ge Husheng, General Zuoqi of the Forbidden Army, was also the person he rescued from Concubine Lu Guifei seven years ago.That year, he happened to pass by the door of Concubine Lu Gui's bedroom, and saw several guards beating a low-ranking attendant, so he stepped forward to stop him, and learned that it was the attendant who broke a pot of concubine Lu Guifei's peony, so he used his own A peony left by the queen mother changed the life of the attendant.That attendant is Ge Husheng.After Ge Husheng left the palace, he was arranged by Cook Xiao to join the Forbidden Army. After so many years of hard work, he has been promoted to the post of General Zuo Banner, and he and Cook Xiao can be regarded as confidantes.Yu Xun just didn't know what the emperor's plan was, but he also felt that there was no need to ask, so he thanked him directly.

However, Han Qi, who was standing aside and didn't dare to say anything, had a flash of panic in his eyes, "The transfer of Ge Husheng's people to the reserve palace, isn't this adding wings and power to Yu Xun invisibly? Damn it Yu Xun, why is he so lucky at the critical moment, God is too protective of him!"

The emperor waved his hand at Yuxun and said: "Okay, okay, you can prepare it yourself. You can handle the coming of age ceremony yourself. I have other things, so I don't care." He paused, Looking at Han Qi with gloomy eyes, he sighed softly and said, "Ha Qi, don't keep embarrassing your younger brother, as a brother, you must know how to be courteous, you know?"

"My son, my son knows." Han Qi is so angry that he is almost suffocated to death. Earlier, he had clearly stated the matter of Yu Xun's hiding of the suspect, and he is waiting for the emperor to punish him. Why did he end up bullying his younger brother?He didn't dare to say anything on the surface, and respectfully said yes, but he was scolded in his heart.

"If you two have nothing to do, you can leave. I want to rest with Beauty Qian."

Seeing Yu Xun and Han Qi retreat with their own concerns, the emperor's mouth curled into a sly smile.Seeing this, Qian Meiren pretended to be coquettish and flattered: "Your Majesty is so sacred, I can't see through it." The emperor looked at her dotingly, waiting for her to finish speaking. "Then His Royal Highness King Jin obviously came to complain. Instead of helping him, His Majesty defended the wronged prince. Isn't the prince..." As she spoke, she glanced at the emperor, who was still looking at her with a smile , then bravely said in a low voice: "The concubine has long heard people say that the crown prince is useless and is an abandoned son of His Majesty. Why doesn't Your Majesty help His Highness King Jin?"

The emperor swallowed the grapes sent by Beauty Qian, and said quietly: "The prince is not an abandoned son, but a handsome man who has stayed in the Nine Palaces untouched."

"Eh?"

"Beauties don't need to understand this, I don't like women with too many problems."

Qian Meiren hurriedly got up and knelt down, and said coquettishly: "The concubine is talking too much, please don't blame me, Your Majesty."

"Hehe, why did I blame you? How could I forgive you?" Before Meiren Qian understood what was going on, he said coldly, "Come on, pull it out and chop it up."

Listening to Qian Meiren's hoarse begging for mercy, Xiaoyin didn't feel any pity in his heart.No matter how beautiful a woman is, she can't compare to those two people who once entered his heart, one was given to others by him helplessly, and the other was killed by himself.In fact, he lived a very useless life all his life. The person he wanted to love was never available, and the person who didn't want to love was surrounded by him to flatter him all day long, which made him sick...As for his children, he is just happy to watch their brothers fight, after all, it will be boring to stay in this deep palace compound for a long time...
