yes sire

Mu Jinlan smiled lightly, her smile was a bit like Xia Siyan's, the little lying silkworms under her eyes would bulge with her smile, looking very kind.The first queen also had such eyes.

"Lord Han," Madam Lan said with a smile, "Your Majesty is young and ignorant, and you should be sensible now that you have passed your thirties."

Han Youjing was silent for a while, "What does Mrs. Lan mean by 'sensible'?"

Although Mrs. Lan had a smile on her face, her tone of voice was sharp and unquestionable: "The courtesy of the monarch and his ministers is the righteousness of the country. The way of the monarch and his ministers is the way of heaven. If you go astray, it will be misfortune for the family and the country, and it will bring disaster to all people. Sensible , naturally you must not do anything that harms the way of heaven. Mr. Han has achieved this position as an official, don't you understand such a simple truth?"

How could Han You not understand this truth? He is tortured by this truth every day, but these pains can only be held in his heart, he cannot admit it to outsiders, once he admits it, he and Xia Siyan will have no future.

He said calmly: "Although Your Majesty and I have a friendship that exceeds the courtesy of a monarch and his ministers, we have never abandoned the public for personal reasons. On the contrary, it is precisely because of this extra layer of relationship that I will only be more cautious as an official, and I will always reflect on myself. The purpose is to prevent His Majesty from being biased in government affairs because of our private emotions. I have a clear conscience and do not think that this layer of private emotions has hurt the way of heaven."

"Personal feelings?" Mrs. Lan repeated word by word, "Everything about the emperor is the world's business. What kind of personal feelings does he have?"

"He is also a human being, and he is also a body of flesh and blood, why can't he have it?"

"Oh," Mrs. Lan sneered, "You are stubborn. But Mr. Han, if you are just a commoner, the emperor will keep you in the harem, so I just turn a blind eye and close my eyes. But you are a courtier. , and you are an important cabinet minister, you are His Majesty's hands and eyes in the court. The king accepts the minister to advise, and the minister serves the emperor with loyalty. If you are blinded by personal emotions, can you still advise and build loyalty?"

Madam Lan paused for a moment, leaned forward, stared straight into Han You's eyes, and showed her power, "Are you really clear of your conscience?"

Han You stared at her, not showing it on his face, but in fact he was already on his back.

The emperor accepts the minister's advice, and the minister is loyal to the emperor, so he has a guilty conscience.Thinking of the dispute with Xia Siyan, as well as his own compromise of abandoning principles several times, he opened his mouth but did not say a word.

Mrs. Lan saw his hesitation, so she stopped talking about this topic.In order to understand Han You's character, she specially read the article written by Han You, and knew that this is a civil servant who takes the world as his own responsibility.There have been many civil servants of this kind in the history of the Zhao Kingdom, and their common characteristics are that they are delicate in mind, think a lot, value fame and integrity, and are easy to trap themselves.

She put away her majesty, changed into a serious tone and continued: "Your Majesty is only 19 years old, and he is still a child at heart. But a child will grow up one day, and he will definitely become the queen in the end. At that time, There is no place for you in the palace. It is not easy for you to be the son of a small businessman in Yuzhou for more than ten years, so don't make fun of your own future."

Han You didn't answer.

Mu Jinlan observed his expression and felt that the heat was almost ready, so she got up and left without waiting for his reply.Plant a kindling in the dry woodpile, and when the wind blows, the fire will burn.Han You is a smart man, he will make the fire even hotter.

Han You sat alone in the flower hall until dusk, when Han San came to ask him where the dinner would be served, he shook his head and said, "The guests have already left, you can eat."

"Ah?" Han San had been following Yunniang around in the kitchen just now, not knowing what was going on here, so he was stunned: "When did she leave?"

"It's been a while."

"She..." Han San looked back at the screen wall, "Is she embarrassing Mr.?"

"No," Han You supported his forehead with his hands. He has been uncomfortable since the afternoon. He closed his eyes for a while before standing up, and said without energy: "I'm going to sleep first. If someone comes to me, just say I'm not here."

Han San agreed, watching Han You walk slowly towards the backyard, feeling very sad for some reason.

Not long after falling asleep, Han You became hot again.When it was Haishi, Han San came to ask him if he wanted something to eat, only to find that he was a little dizzy from the fever.

Han San went out to invite a doctor, and happened to meet Feng Ke who came out of the palace to deliver medicine to Han You.

Yuan Zheng prescribed three meals a day, and he couldn't miss a single meal.At noon, they were sent to the Yamen of the Household Department. The emperor was worried about the meal at night, so he asked Feng Ke to personally send it to the Han Mansion, so as to see how Han Youren was doing.

Feng Ke didn't dare to be careless about Han You's condition repeatedly, and immediately sent someone back to the palace to report.Soon, the emperor came over in person and took away the dazed Han Shangshu.

Han You woke up for a while on the way, Xia Siyan fed him the medicine, and carried him all the way into Changle Palace.

Yuan Zheng got the news early in the morning and came to wait in the bedroom. Xia Siyan put him on the bed, pressed the fire and asked: "He seemed to be healed this morning, why did it start to burn again? Didn't you say that you died last night?" Are you all right?"

Yuan Zheng replied neither humble nor overbearing: "The minister said that if the high fever last night subsides this morning, it will be fine, but the minister also said that Mr. Han's illness will require long-term recuperation. Today is just a little bit better. When you are weak, you may suffer mental fatigue again, so the disease will recur."

"Then will he have a fever several times tonight like last night?"

Yuan Zheng stretched out his hand and pressed Han You's wrist to take the pulse carefully, pondered for a moment, and said: "If you have taken all the three medicines today, the heat will subside soon, Mr. Han will be able to sleep well tonight. Be more comfortable. Just don’t make him work hard for the next few days, it’s best to lie in bed and recuperate.”

These words made Xia Siyan heave a sigh of relief. Han You slept uncomfortably last night, and he also felt distressed watching him beside him. Han You can feel more comfortable, and he will feel at ease.

"I know, there is an envoy from the Labor Court, so let's stay in Changle Palace tonight."

"Yes." Yuan Zheng packed up the diagnosis and treatment tools and exited.

Feng Ke watched Yuan Zheng walk out of the palace gate. At this time, only he and the emperor were left in the bedroom. He said softly: "Your Majesty, when this old servant was in the Han Mansion just now, I heard from their servants that there was a lady named Mu I went to see Master Han, do you think it could be... Mrs. Lan?"

Xia Siyan twitched the corners of his mouth: "What could it be? It must be her! I still wonder why she let it go so easily. It turned out that it was a slap in the face and Han You was used for surgery."

"Then what should we do now?"

Xia Siyan said annoyedly, "I don't know what my aunt told him. He is a person who thinks more than stars. He can think about a word of others for a day. Let's talk about it when he wakes up."

Feng Ke sighed: "Then Your Majesty should rest too, you didn't sleep all night last night."

Xia Siyan hummed, but still sat still, just staring at Han You's sleeping face in a daze.Feng Ke reminded him twice more in a low voice before he took off his coat and lay down on the bed, holding Han You in his arms.

He heard Feng Ke walking out lightly, and then there was the sound of the palace door closing.After a while, someone came in again lightly, and blew out some of the twelve palace lanterns in the bedroom, which were as bright as day, and the surroundings suddenly became dark.

Han You was still sleeping very deeply. His sleeping appearance was very good. Whatever position he was put in when he was sleeping, he could sleep in this position until dawn, and he would be obediently nestled in his arms when he was hugged.Xia Siyan thought, it would be great if he could be as obedient as he was asleep when he was awake.

They've been arguing a lot lately, and Xia Siyan managed to get angry with him a few times.Heartache, reluctance, and not wanting to spend time with him on quarreling, the emperor only had a little bit of tenderness, which was all handed over to Han Jinglue.

Han You woke up from hunger in the middle of the night. He first smelled the familiar smell of Xia Siyan. He thought he was dreaming, but when he opened his eyes, he really saw himself sleeping with Xia Siyan.The vague memory slowly came back, and he remembered that he followed the emperor into the palace yesterday evening.

He moved, and the emperor immediately opened his eyes and kissed him, "Are you awake?"

"Ah."

"Feeling better? Would you like some water?"

"Yes," Han You said, "I'm a little hungry."

"Just drink some water, it's late at night, don't eat, or you will have a stomachache again."

Xia Siyan lifted the quilt and got up, went to the small round table and poured a glass of warm water.Han You sat up propped up, and drank the water from Xia Siyan's hand.Xia Siyan asked him, "Do you want more?"

"No more," Han You said with a frown, "but I'm really hungry."

Xia Siyan put the cup back, sat on the bed and looked at Han You's face, "Your face is much better than when you first came here tonight. Be obedient, Yuan Zheng said that your spleen and stomach are weak, and you will feel uncomfortable tomorrow after eating in the middle of the night."

Han You was dizzy from sleep, nodded obediently, and said aggrievedly, "That's fine."

Xia Siyan looked at his ignorant look, and felt very soft in his heart. Such a Han You is usually hard to see, and he would feel disadvantaged if he missed it.Reluctant to sleep, he raised his hand and pinched the back of his neck, and said in a hoarse voice, "But I can give you something else to eat, do you want it?"

"What else?"

So Xia Siyan kissed him, pushing his wet, soft and warm tongue to fill his empty mouth.He docilely hugged Xia Siyan's neck and fell down slowly, kissing Xia Siyan deeply and seriously.

His fear, guilt, uneasiness, and self-blame were all appeased. At this moment, he remembered what Mrs. Lan said, if he was really just a commoner, it would be fine even if Xia Siyan raised him in the harem.

If only he and Xia Siyan were ordinary people.

He is willing to live a daily life with Xia Siyan, put aside his ideals and aspirations, live the life of ordinary people, and find a place far away from the capital and away from the court.It can be in the countryside or in Yuzhou’s hometown, farming or doing a small business, raising a cat and a dog, and planting a big locust tree in the yard.

They can't control the war, nor can they design the direction of the country's great politics. They can live whatever life God gives them.When the flames of war came to their country, they took up arms to fight, and they rolled in the torrent of history like all other people.War may separate them, and famine and plague may take their lives, but they will love each other until death, and will never suspect or calculate each other, and will never feel pain because of their deep love for each other.

Han You had some distant thoughts in the shaking of his body, he held Xia Siyan's arm tightly, and felt ashamed of the strong emotions surging in his heart.He hugged Xia Siyan tightly, and buried his head on his shoulder.

"What's the matter today?" Xia Siyan noticed that he was against his shape, and couldn't help laughing at him, "Are you in such a good spirit? I have to ask Yuan Zheng what medicine he gave you."

Han You didn't speak.Xia Siyan felt the wetness on his shoulders and realized that Han You was crying.

"What's wrong?" Xia Siyan held his face in both hands, kissed away his tears, saw his brows flushed from crying, and felt distressed immediately, "Did my aunt bully you?"

Han You's pupils were as red as blood, and Xia Siyan in his eyes was also covered with redness. He wanted to see Xia Siyan clearly, but no matter how much he washed it with tears, the redness could not be washed away.All of this seems unreal under the shroud of red, as if it will be proved to be a dream at any time.

He couldn't stop crying, Xia Siyan had no choice but to kiss his tears away, no matter how hard he tried to coax him.

"I want you." Han You cried.
