Prince's Revenge

Chapter 23

Only He Yaodu and his son were left in the Hall of Mental Cultivation. What the father said to General Zheng and the prime minister, He Yaodu did not say a word, and he listened to everything and remembered it in his heart.He was in a daze, did Zong Qixiu guess wrongly his father's thoughts, or did his father not treat the two most trusted ministers honestly with each other on such an important matter?

There was a long silence, and in the sweltering afternoon, there was not even a breath of wind. The father and son sat quietly like this, and neither of them broke the silence first.

"Do you know where you went wrong?" After a stick of incense, He Dichi stood up and walked up to He Yaodu. The yellow riding boots were right in front of He Yaodu's eyes. He didn't order his son to get up, but just asked calmly.

He Yaodu replied: "Shouldn't my minister go to General Zheng and Prime Minister Pu on his own initiative without discussing with Emperor Father."

"anything else?"

He Yaodu's expression changed, he looked up at He Dichi, He Dichi's tired face was full of kindness, he settled down, maintained this posture, looked at He Dichi sincerely and said: "I don't know, please father The emperor made it clear."

He Dichi lowered his head, looked at He Yaodu steadfastly, and said clearly, "You went to Zheng Tuo and Pu Zaifeng on your own initiative, and didn't discuss it with me. But in their view, you go to find They are following my will. Externally, our father and son are one."

Seeing his father's solemnity, He Yaodu broke out in a cold sweat, and said, "I didn't think of this level."

"Get up." He Dichi stretched out his hand to pull He Yaodu up, and said, "I understand you. You have never had the heart to fight for power and profit since you were a child. You didn't want to lead troops to fight or deal with political affairs. Your father followed suit. You go, always thinking that having your eldest brother, second brother, and fourth younger brother in everything will make you feel at ease and be an idle rich man. It is not a bad thing. However, things are unpredictable. Rarely has he ever failed. Although he is easily impulsive, he has never made such a big mistake. His achievements over the years have been ruined by his impulsive and irritable character. In order to compete with the fourth brother for power in the court, your second brother blindly Getting close to the Han people angered the dignitaries of the He family. The fourth child is too vicious. I always worry that he will be unfavorable to your brothers in the future. Fortunately, I am only in my 50s, so it is not too late. Duer, you have to be good Learn how to deal with government affairs, and don't easily offend any faction among He and Han. The nobles of He and Han will be grateful to you for this matter."

"Why?" He Yao asked puzzledly, his heart was turbulent, he didn't expect his father to say these words to him suddenly, a bold idea that he had never thought of before flashed in his mind like a bolt of lightning , He was overwhelmed by surprise.

He Dichi sighed and said: "I'm tired, you go back to rest first, and go out of the palace with me at night."

When He Yaodu left the Hall of Mental Cultivation, his steps were unsteady, his sword eyebrows were tightly locked, his head was sullen, and he walked aimlessly, walking, walking, and without knowing what happened, he came to the Hall of Donglai .This quiet courtyard seemed to have a magical power that calmed his restless heart.

The yard was quiet, under the shade of mottled trees, Zong Qixiu was lying on a recliner for a morning rest, with a lotus leaf paper fan covering his face.

He Yaodu walked into the courtyard, picked up the book on the small square stool, sat down, put one elbow on the arm of the recliner, and just looked at Zong Qixiu's sleeping face.

His skin is very fair, even in the scorching summer sun, he hasn't tanned at all, his rosy lips are tightly pressed, his black eyelashes are naturally curved, Zong Qixiu with his eyes closed, is quiet and sweet.He Yaodu looked at it for a while, then gently took the fan away, and imprinted it on his lips like a dragonfly.

When he got what he wanted, he couldn't help being elated, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up. He couldn't bear to cover his face with the fan, and gently shook it to help Zong Qixiu fan the heat of summer.

The slightly raised lips on weekdays slowly moved to the left and right until the lip line was drawn into a straight line before he suddenly opened his eyes. The bright and bright eyes reflected the light like black stones. Looking at He Yaodu.

He Yaodu closed the fan and tapped him on the forehead: "When did you wake up?" He was anxious and expectant, and asked pretending to be calm.

Zong Qixiu pursed his lips, thought for a while, and then said: "I don't remember, I just remember that after I woke up, the prince slapped me 99 times again."

He Yaodu was stunned for a moment, joyful in his heart, and said with a smile: "Why don't you go to sleep in the house, it's so hot outside!"

Zong Qixiu's expression changed, he quickly got up from the reclining chair, pulled He Yaodu up, looked him up and down, and asked anxiously, "What's the matter! The clothes are so wet!" After speaking, he stretched out his hand to pull the wet piece He Yaodu gasped in pain, and took a step back. Zong Qixiu followed and tore off his court clothes. His left shoulder was blushing, with bloodshot eyes faintly exposed.

He Yaodu smiled indifferently, took off his clothes, exposed his bronzed upper body, sat down on the recliner, and stretched out his hand to Lazong Qixiu.

Zong Qixiu shook off his hand and shouted loudly: "Wu Enqi!"

Wu Enqi came over in response, stood at the door, but did not enter the yard, and replied respectfully: "The little one is here."

"Go to the Imperial Hospital and ask for some ointment for burns." After Zong Qixiu gave Wu Enqi instructions, he gave He Yaodu a hard look, and went to the side room to fetch a basin of water.He bent down and pressed the soaked veil on He Yaodu's shoulder, with such strength that he wanted to peel off He Yaodu's skin.After changing the water three times, Zong Qixiu gave up, looked at He Yaodu's shoulders that were becoming more and more red and swollen, and said viciously: "It's a hot day, I'm not afraid of festering."

He Yaodu heard his cruel words, his heart was as sweet as honey, and he said obediently: "I was not afraid at first, but now I am."

Zong Qixiu knew that he had lost his composure just now, so he picked up the fan, slapped it slowly a few times, fanned away the restlessness in his heart, and said calmly: "The parents who suffer from the body, hair and skin, the prince is a precious body, so he doesn't take care of himself. His body will not only worry the emperor and empress, but also worry the people of the world."

He Yaodu couldn't hide the disappointment on his face, and said angrily, "It's annoying you the most!"

Wu Enqi happened to lead the imperial physician Wang Mao in, and Zong Qixiu got up and entered the room. Wang Mao greeted He Yaodu first, and bowed his waist to apply ointment for He Yaodu. He Yaodu did not know where he came from. With a flick of his hand, the old doctor was pushed to the ground, and the medical box and the medicinal materials inside rolled to the ground.Wang Mao fell to the ground, supported his old waist, and cried out in pain.

Wu Enqi helped the old imperial doctor to accompany his prince, looked suspiciously at the two people, one inside and one outside, and respectfully sent Wang Mao back to the imperial hospital.

Really blushing for this hopeless master, Wu Enqi secretly stuck out his tongue.
