I was a princess in ancient times

of course not!

Ji Xinxue proved on the spot that he was not suffering from kidney deficiency.

He couldn't sleep peacefully last night because of all the things that happened during the day.In the middle of the night, when he heard the news of Yu Heng's sudden high fever, he hurried over to stay by Yu Heng's side.

The mind that had been tense for a long time suddenly relaxed, and the forcibly suppressed sleepiness and exhaustion began to rebound, and Ji Xinxue's eyelids suddenly became heavy.

Before falling into a complete slumber, his last memory was hearing someone whispering in his ear, "Move back, okay?"

When Emperor Changping heard that Ji Xinxue was unwell, he was worried that the imperial physician in Princess An's mansion who was dedicated to recuperating Yu Heng's body would not be able to take care of both of them and delay Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng at the same time.

He also told Song Nian to go to the warehouse to find the medicinal materials to strengthen the foundation and cultivate the essence.Ling Tai Hospital made it into pills and sent them to Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng.

When Ji Xinxue woke up, the sunlight entering the room through the gap in the window lattice had already changed its direction.

He looked around at the familiar and unfamiliar arrangements, and he was so dazed that he didn't know what was going on.

He was the only one left on the bed, and Yu Heng had disappeared.

The curtain and brocade quilt were still the same as what he saw before falling asleep.The palm-sized cloth tiger, calming sachet, and 'stationery box' with paper and pen in the bed were exactly the same as the gadgets that accompanied him to sleep in the main room in the backyard last night, even the angle and position were the same.

He lifted the bed curtain.

There was a brand new golden-red robe on the tray on the low cabinet beside the bed, and there was a bronze mirror of human height in the corner. The newly changed wardrobe was finally no longer heavy.Ji Xinxue didn't need to look closely, she could be sure that the wooden boxes that filled the space were full of his clothes.

Such an arrangement seemed to go back to the time when Yu Heng hadn't gone to Northern Xinjiang yet.

Qingfeng, who was guarding outside the screen, heard the movement, and asked cautiously, "Your Highness?"

"Yeah." Ji Xinxue quickly put on new clothes and asked, "Where is Feng Lang?"

Although this toss, luckily did not cause Yu Heng's old injury to recur.But given Yu Heng's current physical condition, he really shouldn't do anything other than recuperate.

"In the flower hall." Qingfeng held the tea for gargling, "Duke Pingguo and Princess Jinming came to visit the county king suddenly. The eunuch Songnian of Fengxiang Palace also brought the imperial physician to ask His Royal Highness for a pulse."

Ji Xinxue coughed suddenly and almost swallowed all the mouthwash.

In the past, when he didn't want to go to the Dachaohui or the Xiaochaohui, he also used the excuse of being unwell. Emperor Changping never sent an imperial physician to check his pulse.

Could it be... his wise and mighty Aye is so terrifying that he has already noticed something is wrong between him and Yu Heng?

Ji Xinxue didn't want to be suspicious.

However, when he thought carefully about Emperor Changping's glorious achievements and decades of sharpness, he couldn't help but feel guilty.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Ji Xinxue arrived at the flower hall with a normal expression.Immediately, he fixed his eyes on Yu Heng who was also wearing a golden red robe in the crowd.

Yu Heng's brows still had a faint look of sickness, but his face was no longer as pale as when he had a high fever.

Just look at his straight back and calm appearance at this moment.It would never make people think that a few hours ago, such a decent King Xianglin was almost unconscious due to the high fever, and could only lie limp on the bed and let others pour drugs.

Ji Xinxue raised her eyebrows in dissatisfaction, and directly ordered Qingzhu and Zizhu, "Go and move the soft chair or rocking chair, and spread a few more layers of soft quilt."

If you want to recover as soon as possible, you should try to avoid pulling the injured place as much as possible.

Neither Ji Cheng, Ji Mingtong, nor Song Nian were outsiders, and the imperial physician and the servants of Princess Anguo's mansion did not dare to talk about Xianglin County King.Why bother to suffer for nothing because of the invisible and intangible face?

Qing Zhu responded loudly, grabbed Zi Zhu who was foolishly turning her head to look at Yu Heng, and immediately ran out the door.

Ji Xinxue walked quickly behind Yu Heng, put her hand on Yu Heng's shoulder, "Relax."

Although he just felt better about Qi Yuheng and didn't know how to cherish his body, he still cared more after all.

Not only is the strength in his hands close to nothing, but the words on his lips are more patient and considerate than when coaxing the ignorant children in the Tranquility Palace.

Yu Heng was always suspicious of dreaming because of the 'easy' achievement of his long-cherished wish.Feeling Ji Xinxue's unprecedented gentleness and patience, the emotion of worrying about gains and losses became stronger, and she couldn't think of rejecting Ji Xinxue.

Feeling that the stiff body under the palms was gradually relaxing as he wished, Ji Xinxue nodded in satisfaction, her eyes swept over the golden pearl crown on Yu Heng's head, and landed on the tea and pastries on the table.

He picked up the teacup in front of Yu Heng, and took a sip to taste the taste.

The tea soup is light, the taste is fragrant and sweet, and it is a good tea that is hard to find.

When Ji Xinxue took a seat in the empty space next to Yu Heng, she naturally put the teacup with only half of the tea in her hand in front of her.

"Go and bring Feng Lang a cup of warm water." He told Chun Xiao, "I will tell Qing Zhu and Zi Zhu later that before Feng Lang recovers, I will only give him warm water and Chuanbei tea soup."

When Chunxiao heard this, she clenched her fingers nervously, carefully watching Yu Heng's reaction out of the corner of her eye.

Before he came to Yuhe Palace to serve, he had heard all kinds of rumors between His Royal Highness Fifth Prince and King Xianglin County.

Childhood sweetheart, childhood sweetheart.

Inseparable, full of tacit understanding.

The king of Xianglin County is obedient to Princess Anwu, and every time he repairs Princess Anwu's mansion, he has to ask Princess Anwu for her opinion.

……

These rumors all share a common premise.

Princess Anwu has a marriage contract with King Xianglin, and they will become husband and wife.

Now that Princess Anwu has become the Fifth Highness, and she still manages the King of Xianglin like this, and even orders the confidants of the King of Xianglin in front of the King of Xianglin, will the King of Xianglin feel dissatisfied?

Based on the friendship between the two, even if the county king is dissatisfied, he will not get angry with His Highness.

As the messenger, he might be the first to bear the brunt.

Seeing that not only was there no anger on Yu Heng's face, but there was a hint of satisfaction between his brows, Chun Xiaocai responded absent-mindedly with his head covered in cold sweat.

Satisfy?

Did he read it right?

The same people who doubted themselves because of Ji Xinxue's words and deeds were Ji Cheng and Ji Mingtong who were staring at Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng with enthusiasm.

The two looked at each other, Ji Mingtong's eyes were full of grievances, but Ji Cheng's eyes were mostly confused.

Yesterday, Yu Heng rushed to Zhuangzi and left in a hurry. Even Princess Huayang and Princess Huayang's son-in-law, who didn't know anything, could see something was wrong from the absent-minded appearance of Ji Cheng and Ji Mingtong, and offered to shorten the time of the visit.

Ji Mingtong felt that Yu Heng must have been very angry when he pushed Ji Cheng away when he left.I want to go back to Chang'an as soon as possible to ask Ji Xinxue whether she has done bad things with good intentions.

Ji Cheng knew the most inside information, and was also the most anxious person.

He was worried that Ji Xinxue would notice Yu Heng's thoughts, say hurtful words without knowing it in a rage, and stimulate Yu Heng to do irrational things, causing the two to break up.

She was also afraid that Ji Xinxue would not only not be angry, but instead find Yu Heng's idea interesting, and wanted to try it with Yu Heng.

From Yu Heng's words and deeds, he probably guessed Yu Heng's dangerous thoughts.

In Ji Cheng's mind, the best outcome of this matter is undoubtedly that Yu Heng suddenly "grows up", realizes his lost way, denies his previous thoughts, and can continue to be a deeply affectionate cousin with Ji Xinxue.

Otherwise, either Yu Heng and Ji Xinxue will break up or drift away.Or the two reached the same idea to face Emperor Changping and the clan.There will be countless troubles waiting for them.

Ji Mingtong and Ji Cheng, who had their own concerns, immediately agreed with Princess Huayang's proposal, and set off from Zhuangzi when it was still daylight, and rushed to Princess An's mansion as soon as the city gate was opened.

Lin Zhao personally welcomed them into the mansion, and told them that Yu Heng had a high fever last night, and Ji Xinxue took care of Yu Heng for the whole night, and didn't have time to rest until dawn.Now that Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng are catching up on sleep, please ask Ji Cheng and Ji Mingtong to go to the guest house to rest first.

After lunch, Ji Cheng and Ji Mingtong saw Yu Heng who was no different from usual in the flower hall.

Both of them let go of their tense hearts at the same time, and breathed a deep sigh of relief.

Ji Mingtong saw that Yu Heng's attitude was kind, and he no longer saw the cruelty when he pushed Ji Cheng away yesterday, so he immediately dispelled his worries about doing bad things with good intentions.

While waiting for Ji Xinxue who didn't go to the Xiaochao meeting with the excuse of 'being unwell', she calmly talked to Songnian, trying to figure out how Emperor Changping was feeling recently.

Compared with Ji Mingtong's simple happiness, Ji Cheng's worries are more complicated.

He could only use Yu Heng's performance to be sure that Yu Heng and Ji Xinxue did not break up.

How many of Yu Heng's secrets did Ji Xinxue find out yesterday, did Yu Heng and Ji Xinxue reach a consensus, and what will happen to them in the future... Countless questions that can't be guessed based on the meager information available, have been troubling Ji Xinxue all the time. become.

Finally, it was Ji Xinxue.

Not only did Ji Cheng fail to straighten out the various questions and guesses in his mind through Ji Xinxue's words and deeds.

Ji Mingtong, who had already let go of his worries because of Yu Heng's amiable attitude, became more and more flustered, and the grievances in his eyes almost turned into reality.

Why did Ashue ignore her?

Is it because she didn't do what she promised Ah Xue the day before yesterday, so Ah Xue is angry with her?

Purple bamboo and green bamboo are not only moved to Ruanta, but also have low tables that match Ruantai.

Ji Xinxue looked at Yu Heng lying on a comfortable and soft place, with warm boiled water at hand, as well as pastries that nourished Qi and Yuan, and were easy to restrain, and finally she was willing to put her mind on others.

He looked around, with surprise in his eyes, "Where is Song Nian?"

The hope in Ji Mingtong's eyes was completely shattered, and he was so angry that he turned his head away from Ji Xinxue.

Ji Cheng explained absently, "Fengxiang Palace has important matters, Song Nian can't stay outside for too long. He saw that you haven't woken up for a long time, so he went back to the palace first."

Ji Xinxue breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that.

It seems that Aye specially sent the imperial physician to check his pulse, just caring about him.

Otherwise, Songnian would not have left easily without hearing the diagnosis.After all, the ethereal doctors are tactful, even with the same pulse condition, they can still diagnose two diametrically opposite results.

The imperial physician who accompanied the last seat got up to greet Ji Xinxue, and politely asked for Ji Xinxue's pulse diagnosis earlier.

Ji Xinxue nodded reservedly, and quietly gave technical guidance during the imperial physician's pulse diagnosis.

He put his hand on his forehead, pretending to be exhausted, and said slowly, "Maybe it's because the number of documents sent from various places has suddenly increased recently. I sleep later than before, and I'm always in a bad mood in the morning."

The imperial physician nodded intently, and the solemnity between his brows became more and more intense.

After a while, he raised his head with complicated eyes, "May I ask Your Highness to change your hand?"

When everyone in the flower hall had their own concerns, they all set their eyes on Ji Xinxue.

It is mostly just a process for the imperial doctor to ask for a safe pulse.

Only when the disease is found but not completely sure, the pulse diagnosis with both hands will be used for comparison.

Ji Xinxue replaced her left hand with her right hand as usual, and cast a comforting look at the worried Yu Heng.

In the past two years, he has been busy with the new tax and hastened to draw a bill.

Deficiency of qi, body, and blood are all normal things. At most, I can take some tonics that strengthen the foundation and cultivate the essence, which happens to be able to drink soup and medicine with Yu Heng.

The imperial physician observed Ji Xinxue's face calmly by feeling the pulse.

With a rosy complexion and bright eyes... How can I attract His Highness's attention?

Doctor Zhu can take advantage of the opportunity to become the official doctor of Princess Anguo's Mansion, but he can get two salaries from Princess An's Mansion and the Imperial Hospital just for taking the pulse of Xianglin County King.

why can't he?

As long as he can be favored by His Royal Highness the Fifth Highness, he can also rise to the top like Imperial Physician Zhu, and become a person who ranks second only to the Imperial Physician in the Imperial Hospital.

"What's going on, don't be a fool!" Ji Mingtong urged impatiently.

Ji Cheng held Ji Mingtong's hand under the cover of the table, and patiently persuaded, "The imperial doctor needs to be calm to diagnose the pulse, don't rush."

After finishing speaking, he waved to Qingzhu, "Go and invite... Imperial Physician Zhu too."

It's really hard to trust this imperial doctor's appearance that he has a deep hatred for every pulse.

When the imperial physician heard Ji Cheng's words, he quickly suppressed the nonsense that he had made up, and felt Ji Xinxue's pulse more carefully.

It should not only attract His Highness's attention, but also be well-founded.

Otherwise, instead of being unable to achieve his goal, he may be ashamed and lose his hat.

With more and more sweating on his forehead, the imperial physician finally sensed the flaw in his pulse, opened his closed eyes suddenly, and looked at Ji Xinxue with radiance, "Your Highness's yang fire is moving frequently, I am afraid there is some yang deficiency, so That's why you can't lift your spirits when the sun rises."

The relaxed smile at the corner of Ji Xinxue's mouth suddenly froze.

He wondered if the imperial physician could not understand human speech.

How can a person who sleeps at midnight get up when the sun rises?

He couldn't get up because he stayed up late.

stay up!

"You made a wrong diagnosis." Ji Xinxue pointed to the door expressionlessly, "Chun Xiao, send the imperial physician out."

Immediately drive this quack doctor out of the princess mansion!

The imperial physician never expected that his ambitious plans would be unsuccessful.

He was about to fight for it again, but Chun Xiao had already grabbed his arm with a special technique, so he could only leave the flower hall with his limp and weak arm, step by step and turn his head three times.

Yu Heng put his hand on Ji Xinxue's wrist, and said slowly, with an almost indiscernible smile in his tone, "We can take care of our bodies together."

Ji Xinxue was so angry that she raised her hand high and slapped the back of Yu Heng's hand, but when she was about to touch the back of Yu Heng's hand, she let go of all her strength. It could be said that she retaliated by clenching Yu Heng's fingers in a naive way.

He leaned close to Yu Heng's ear, and said through gritted teeth in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Shut up, don't you know why he said I was weak?"

It's a pity that he only started to think about someone half a month ago... Even the temptation in the warehouse of Qionghua Court can't resist, how could he be Yu Heng's opponent?

Ji Xinxue suspected that in the morning, Yu Heng felt uncomfortable and deliberately took out his anger on him.

Obviously he has called to stop, but Yu Heng can always wake it up easily...

The two of them remembered the beauty that happened when the sun was rising at the same time, there was greed and embarrassment that could not be concealed in their eyes, and they buried their heads in the 'crack of the ground' almost at the same time.

Ji Mingtong was shocked to hear that his younger brother was deficient in yang, he was worried at first, and then immediately took inventory of the good medicines in the warehouse.

The medicine is three-point poison. If you want to improve this problem, it is best to nourish the body slowly with tonic.The day before yesterday, Princess Xuanwei just gave her a pot of medicinal wine, which was just right for Ah Xue.

When Ji Mingtong raised his head, he happened to see Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng sitting on the wide chair and the rug respectively, burying their heads in each other's necks like mandarin ducks crossing their necks.

An indescribable strangeness suddenly rose in her heart.

It's a pity that at this moment, another emotion that has been accumulated for a long time is far stronger than the weirdness that has just arisen.

"Axue!" Ji Mingtong stood up abruptly.

The little mandarin ducks were so frightened by Ji Mingtong that they separated immediately.

Ji Xinxue's phoenix eyes widened suddenly, and she could vaguely see the extra round arcs when she was young, and besides embarrassment, there was a little bit of indescribable flattery between her brows.

The other pair of phoenix eyes were full of defense and hostility.

Yu Heng's eyes swept over the grievance between Ji Mingtong's brows, and fell on Ji Cheng who looked like a sculpture.

Ji Cheng suddenly felt a strong murderous aura, and turned his head dully to meet Yu Heng's gaze.

He shuddered violently and immediately came back to his senses.

How dare Ji Xinxue respond to Yu Heng's thoughts? !

His Majesty is already arranging a way out for King Ling, clearly making a choice among the only two grown-up sons, but at this time, His Majesty wants to enjoy peaches with Du Miao, an offshoot of great significance to the clan?

Even if the relationship between them is just a play among young people, if it does not delay each other's marriage, it will make the future prince and princess, including her natal family, unable to hold their heads high in the court.

……

All kinds of complicated thoughts only remained in Ji Cheng's mind for a moment, and he immediately realized that at this moment, he was facing the biggest crisis.

Convince Ji Mingtong to accept this first, at least not let Ji Mingtong spoil the matter of Yu Heng and Ji Xinxue.

Otherwise, under Yu Heng's anger... the things he can do are definitely far beyond his and Ji Mingtong's imagination.

It's a pity that Ji Cheng's reaction was half a step too late.

He opened his mouth to call Ji Mingtong to stop, but before he could make a sound, Ji Mingtong ran to Ji Xinxue with an aggrieved face.

"Yesterday was my fault, don't ignore me." Ji Mingtong grabbed Ji Xinxue's wide sleeves and wiped his tears, his crying was as clear and loud as ever.

The expression in Ji Xinxue's eyes turned blank.

Shouldn't the 'wrong' people be him and Yu Heng?

What's wrong with Ji Mingtong?

Qingzhu gave Zizhu a wink, and led the servants in the flower hall back to the yard.

Ji Cheng also fell silent. For a moment, he didn't know whether he should feel sorry for Ji Mingtong who hadn't found the point, or whether he should feel sorry for Ji Mingtong who was always thinking about yesterday's little things.

He walked quickly behind Ji Mingtong, put his arms around Ji Mingtong's thin shoulders and patted gently, and said softly, "Your Highness didn't care about this matter with you, if you don't believe me, you can ask him."

Ji Mingtong hiccupped, choked up and told about how Yu Heng pushed Ji Cheng away in Zhuangzi fiercely yesterday, and rushed back to Chang'an immediately, looking at Ji Xinxue with apology and anxiety in his eyes.

Of course Ji Xinxue would not blame Ji Mingtong.

He could only blame himself for not being considerate when he was angry, and didn't take Yu Heng's mood and old wounds into consideration at all.

The past is over, and he and Yu Heng still have a lot of future to cherish.

Ji Xinxue adjusted her breathing calmly, and suddenly held up his and Yu Hengzheng's intertwined hands to show Ji Mingtong, the smile on her face was not even half hazy, "Don't worry, sister, we are fine."

The crying that was about to overturn the roof stopped suddenly, and Ji Mingtong stared straight at Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng's intertwined hands, and murmured, "You..."

Yu Heng wrapped Ji Xinxue's waist with his other hand, and his chin rested on Ji Xinxue's shoulder.

He kindly finished the sentence for Ji Mingtong, "We are the same as you and Ji Cheng."

"Me and Ji Cheng?" Ji Mingtong turned to look at Ji Cheng with even more blank eyes.

Ji Cheng's heart softened all of a sudden, and he was trying to comfort Ji Mingtong's emotions with a gentle voice, but he saw that Ji Mingtong's eyes had recovered.

The bewilderment and surprise in it have faded away, leaving only worry and understanding, and there is no surprise at all.

Ji Mingtong pushed Ji Cheng away, looked down at Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng, "Aye summoned me and sister in private, and told us that he has the idea of ​​abolishing the empress."

Even Ji Mingtong, who is as naive as Ji Mingtong, can still understand why Emperor Changping had the idea of ​​abolishing the empress when Ji Jingyu was about to return to Chang'an.

Because Emperor Changping's fancy heir is not Ji Jingyu.

The Empress Wang was abolished, Ji Jingyu changed from the eldest son to the eldest son, and Ji Xinxue occupied a virtuous name even though she was a bastard.Not only can it reduce Ji Xinxue's resistance, but it can also save Ji Jingyu's face.

If Emperor Changping wanted to be thorough, he could even make Concubine Zhong Shu the new queen and give Ji Xinxue the title of eldest son.

Ji Xinxue kept her head up, staring blankly at Ji Mingtong's side face.

For the first time, he discovered that Ji Mingtong's face was [-]% similar to Ji Minyan's.Especially when his face was serious, even his demeanor was exactly the same as Ji Minyan's.

"My sister and I both support Aye's idea of ​​abolishing the empress. The letter my brother sent back to Chang'an the day before yesterday also has no objection to Aye's idea of ​​abolishing the empress." Tears welled up in Ji Mingtong's eyes again, and the short-term seriousness turned into distress. .She choked up and said, "Axue, it's late."

Perhaps it was because of his feelings for Ji Cheng. When he first knew that Ji Xinxue was the prince and not the princess, the first thought that came to Ji Mingtong's mind was what should Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng do.

So when he knew that Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng had the same feelings as she and Ji Cheng, Ji Mingtong was not surprised, but felt uncomfortable for Ji Xinxue.

Her beloved younger brother had to face a more painful situation than her.

Ji Mingtong grew up so old, he was only smart in matters related to Ji Xinxue and Ji Cheng.

She is a worthless imperial daughter, and Ji Cheng is the youngest son in the family.

As long as they can let go of their useless pretense, even if they can never stand in front of others justifiably, they can still rely on their elders' love and perseverance to stay together.

In addition to the continuation of each other's blood and status, they will be able to cultivate to perfection sooner or later.

Ah Xue and Yu Heng couldn't do it.

At least the future prince will have a concubine and son sooner or later.

Ji Mingtong didn't feel as proud as Yu Heng, and could accept such a result.

Yu Heng looked indifferently at Ji Mingtong who was in tears, and suddenly felt ridiculous.

He hasn't cried yet, why is Princess Jinming crying?

Why bother to think about things that will only increase your troubles, it is better to cherish the days that have not been wasted.

Even in the future...

Forget it, don't want to.

Yu Heng quietly let go of the arm around Ji Xinxue's waist, and fell towards the limp direction.

'Snapped'

The loud voice brought everyone back to their senses.

Ji Xinxue turned her head and looked at Yu Heng, eyes filled with bright anger, and said fiercely, "Don't let go!"

"I don't want to let go." Yu Heng's hoarse tone gradually returned to normal, and his eyes were full of sincerity, "I'm just a little tired and want to lean on the cushion."

When Ji Xinxue heard this, the strength in grabbing Yu Heng's wrist increased rather than decreased.Yu Heng leaned forward and had to press the weight of his body on him.

"Lie down, I'll carry you on my back."
