yes sire

After all, Han You couldn't resist Xia Siyan's stubbornness, so he followed him back to Changle Palace. He planned to go to the cabinet after dinner, but he fell ill before leaving the bedroom.

After Yuan Zheng saw it, he said it was "heartwork".Too much thinking makes you sick from overwork, exhausting your efforts, causing your body to suffer from cold and heat, and a little trouble can easily make you sick.As for the trouble, Yuan Zheng didn't say it clearly, but Xia Siyan knew better than anyone how Han You suffered from the cold when he was on duty at the household department this evening.

Envoy Yuan gave Han You an injection, prescribed a prescription, and then said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, Mr. Han's high fever may not subside for a while, and there may be recurrence tonight, and someone needs to be on guard all the time." The prescription given by the minister focuses on recuperation, Mr. Han's body is not weak, but he has worn out too much in the past few years, so the most important thing is for himself—to fully recover, the only word is rest and recuperation."

Han You had a severe fever and had already fallen asleep at this time.Xia Siyan grabbed his hand and sat on the edge of the bed, nodded after listening to Yuan Zheng's words, and said, "Yes, I understand. Tonight, I will work hard for the envoy to live in Changle Palace, just in case."

During this period of time, Yuan Zheng had given the emperor many special ointments for sexual intercourse. The emperor knew how much he cared about Mr. Han, so he bowed respectfully and said, "Yes."

It was late at night, but the Changle Palace was still brightly lit.

Xia Siyan never pretended to deal with Han You's affairs. He personally twisted a towel to help him wipe his face and put it on his forehead, and kept checking his body temperature.

Every time Han You was ill, the whole Changle Palace was as tense as if the emperor himself was ill. All the eunuchs and maids, whether they were on duty or not, were waiting outside the palace.

The night finally passed, and the leaked room announced the Yin Pai, and the distant bell echoed above the still-awakened palace.

Feng Ke stayed with the emperor all night. Seeing that the emperor was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, he said distressedly: "Your Majesty, is today's court still open? Do you want me to go to the Huangji Hall and say something?"

"Open," Xia Siyan yawned, pinched the bridge of his nose and said, "It's going to be held. Today is the last court meeting before the Spring Festival. The spring break will be on 29th. Today we have to go through the budget."

"Then, would you like to sleep for a while, Your Majesty?"

"What time is it now?"

"The old servant just heard the bell ringing at Yinshi," Feng Ke advised cautiously, "Your Majesty, please take a nap for half an hour. The old servant will stay here and call you when the half hour is up."

Xia Siyan was really too sleepy, so he said, "That's fine." He took off his shoes, got into Han You's bed and slept on the same pillow with him.

Han You had just sweated a lot, and his long hair was wet and stuck to his cheeks, and even his underwear and quilt were a little damp.Xia Siyan didn't mind, hugged him into his arms, pressed his face against his wet forehead, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

The more Han You slept, the hotter he got, his body was sore and he felt very uncomfortable.He opened his eyes, only to find that he was lying on the side of the road alone.

The sun was very dazzling, he raised his hand to block the light and got used to it for a while, then got up and saw that he was in a strange village.The sun was scorching hot, and the water-deficient ground was roasted and cracked, and as far as the eye could see were burnt ruins.

Not a single crop could be seen in the grain fields on both sides of the road, only a few withered grain seedlings fell into the dry cracks in the ground.A few thin farmers gathered around the middle of the field, as if they were digging something.

Han You wanted to ask where this place was, but he opened his mouth to speak but couldn't make a sound.He was a little panicked, and ran to the field to hold an old farmer's arm, and the old farmer turned to look at him.Han You saw that the old farmer's eye sockets were black and eyesless, with a child's finger still in his mouth.Han You was startled, and hurriedly took a few steps back, and then he found that those people were digging up the corpse of a child buried in the ground to eat.

He yelled in horror, his throat was still blocked, and he couldn't make any sound with his long mouth.Huge fear enveloped him, making him breathless, his body was so stiff that he couldn't move, but he couldn't stop shaking.

At this time, a warm palm stretched out from behind and covered his eyes, and he heard Xia Siyan's gentle voice say, "Don't look."

The sense of fear suddenly disappeared, and the feeling that he couldn't breathe was gone.He opened his eyes and called out in shock, "Your Majesty."

Xia Siyan woke up immediately, raised his hand to touch his forehead, and asked him in a low voice: "The fever is gone, how do you feel now?"

Han You's heart was pounding, the dream just now made him feel very uneasy, he said anxiously: "Your Majesty, I had a dream."

"Nightmare?"

Han You hummed, and wanted to tell Xia Siyan the content of the dream right away, but Xia Siyan held his face and pressed his forehead against his and said, "It's okay, don't think about it, just sleep again and you'll be fine." Forget about the nightmare."

"But..." But that dream was very ominous.

He didn't have a chance to say it, because Feng Ke bowed to remind the emperor at this time, the time has come, please go down and change clothes to prepare to go to court.

Xia Siyan kissed Han You on the forehead, and said, "Take the quilt up by yourself, get up after I come back from court, and then have breakfast with me, okay?"

Han You said yes in a daze, only to realize that he was also going to court, and he sat up propping himself up, "Where's my court clothes?"

Xia Siyan pressed him down, "Don't go, I'll ask your left servant to talk about the budget for you, you should have a good rest."

Han You insisted on going, lifted the quilt and remembered, Xia Siyan kissed him and told him to lie back, and then said with the gentle voice in his dream, "Be obedient, don't go, Yuan Zheng said you need to rest."

Before he could react, Xia Siyan got up and helped him tuck the quilt up, and then ordered Feng Ke to fetch a bowl of medicine for him to drink.

Watching him drink the medicine, the emperor left.

Xu Shi's medicine took effect quickly, and Han You fell asleep again.This time he had no more dreams and slept soundly.When I woke up again, I really forgot the specific content of the previous nightmare, but I felt panicked for no reason.He tried his best to think back, and vaguely felt that the dream seemed to be related to Xia Siyan, but he couldn't remember anything.

The court meeting on December 26 every year is about the budget, because it involves the expenditure shares of various ministries and governments in the second year, and there are always a lot of things arguing with each other. As a result, the meeting usually ends at noon or even in the afternoon.However, this year's budget meeting went very smoothly, because Xia Siyan had already called all the hall officials into the palace to discuss in advance before the yamen submitted the draft to the household department.

So this time at the court meeting, Yan Zhengnan read the various expenses and the important details side by side, and after everyone listened to it without any objection, the emperor made a final decision.

It was only three o'clock when Xia Siyan came back from the Huangji Hall, and he didn't have time to change his court clothes, so he went to see Han You in the bedroom.

Han You had already woken up at this time, and was changing clothes just after bathing.He has always disliked being served by others, so he brushed away his wet hair and put a clean robe on his body.The maid stood aside holding the towel, not daring to step forward to help.

Xia Siyan went over to pick up the towel, let the maid down, then wrapped Han You's dripping hair with the towel, and hugged him from behind, "Why are you wearing clothes when your hair is so wet?"

"Your Majesty is back," Han You looked at him in the mirror, "Did the court approve the draft budget? Are there any changes?"

Xia Siyan took it for granted: "There is no change, Han Aiqing reviewed it, everyone can trust it."

Thinking of the 800 million taels of military expenses for making firearms, Han You felt a little stuck, but the emperor had already signed the papers of quotations with those big merchants, so it would be futile for him to say anything.

He used to think that as long as he stood on a high place, he could accomplish what he wanted to do. Now that he has stood closest to the emperor, he still can't control many things.

At the beginning, Xia Siyan used the example of Taizu and Yang Qinghe to convince him cleverly, but he and Xia Siyan would never be able to be like Taizu and Yang Qinghe.

No matter how close they are physically.

Han You thought sourly, Xia Siyan summoned those big merchants without telling him, and signed the bill without telling him, and this is clearly a matter of his household department.

Ever since he decided to fall in love with Xia Siyan, he never calculated anything about the emperor again, and he couldn't be more frank about everything, even Zhan Yu, Zhou Kui, Hu Qimin, and the others, he would analyze it to Xia Siyan.At this time, he thought, maybe he can't be too frank, some things should be planned or planned.It's just that if they do this, where will their feelings go?

His love for Han You is not calculated.

If he really got to that point, the relationship between him and Xia Siyan would also come to an end.

Han You saw the emperor wiping his hair from the mirror, with a serious expression on his face, as if he regarded him as a treasure, so he felt very guilty for this fleeting thought.

Feeling his gaze, Xia Siyan looked up at him in the mirror, "What are you peeping at me for?"

Han You looked away, "It's nothing."

Xia Siyan wanted to kiss him, but he avoided it, "I'm sick, and I'll get angry with you."

Xia Siyan pinched his chin to prevent him from hiding, put his lips in his mouth and said indistinctly: "I don't know how many times I kissed last night, it's too early."

After wiping his sticky hair half dry, Xia Siyan asked him to sit down in front of the mirror again to comb his hair.

The emperor's own hair was taken care of by court ladies, but the emperor didn't let others touch Han You's hair.Every time he brushes Han You's hair, it hurts Han You, but Han You still clings to him every time.

At this time Feng Ke hurried in and said: "Your Majesty, Mrs. Lan has entered the capital."

Xia Siyan paused, "When will she enter Beijing?"

"Already entered the city gate."

A flash of panic flashed across Xia Siyan's face, "Why didn't you report earlier?"

Feng Ke said with a sad face, "This servant just got the news, this..." He glanced at Han You, and asked tentatively, "How about...send Mr. Han out of the palace first?"

"Come on." Xia Siyan quickly regained his composure and continued to help Han You comb his hair. "It just so happens that I really want to introduce Han You to my aunt."
