yes sire

It was only seven or eight days' journey from Changzhou to Maozhou, but it took them more than half a month to arrive at Zhenxi General's Mansion.

It rained all the time on the road, and the mountain road was difficult to walk. After several delays in taking medicine, Han You's old illness relapsed overwhelmingly.

It was also at this time that Xia Siyan knew that his illness had not recovered.Doctors on the frontier are inferior to those in Beijing. They can't cure the root cause of the disease, they can only treat headaches and feet.

The accompanying doctor Wang showed the medicine Han You was using, and was almost pissed off by those quack doctors.Previously, the doctor prescribed strong painkillers to Han You, none of which were really suitable for the symptoms, and those painkillers themselves were very toxic, which made Han You's condition worse.

Physician Wang immediately stopped the painkillers for him and replaced them with medicines for regulating the spleen and stomach.

It's just that Han You had a hard time living like this.Since arriving in Maozhou, he has never eaten anything.I always vomit what I eat, and when I vomit badly, I can vomit blood.Doctor Wang took care of her carefully, and she could only eat some liquid food every day, and she lost a lot of weight.

After stopping the painkiller, Han You became very lethargic, spending eight out of twelve hours a day in drowsiness.

Xia Siyan thought that Han You's illness was caused by sending him to the border, and he felt so guilty that he completely forgot how determined Han You was to leave Beijing.

Thinking about it now, I always feel that Han You could have stayed if he had persisted a bit more, after all, Han You still loves him so much.

He sleeps with Han You in his arms every day, feeds the medicine and porridge himself, wishing to be glued to Han You closely all the time.

In this way, the party dragged on until the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the group arrived at the Zhenxi General's Mansion.

On the day they arrived, Zhang Zhouhan, Mu Jinlan, and all the young and old members of the Zhang family were waiting at the door.Because they knew that the emperor had come in modest clothes, the local officials were not disturbed, and Zhang's family could not kneel down to salute, but stood respectfully with their hands down, and formed a large circle around the door.

The general's mansion was on the street, and the passers-by on the street stopped curiously, wanting to see what kind of nobleman the whole mansion of this high-ranking family was out to greet.

I saw the exquisitely carved carriage approaching, stopped at the door, and the guard in brocade clothes took out a mahogany footstool from the side and put it on the ground, and said respectfully to the carriage: "Master, we're here."

The curtain of the car was lifted, and a tall, handsome young man came out of the car.The young man got out of the car and reached out to help another person in the car.

Afterwards, the man came out wearing a moon-white silk gown, thin and slender, his hair was tied up in a bun and covered in a black net scarf, his face was pale, he was a beautiful and weak scholar.

The scholar held the young man's hand with both hands, as if he was not feeling well. When he got out of the car, his feet were unstable and he fell into the young man's arms.

At a glance, everyone on the street felt that these two people were too good-looking to be real.

Xia Siyan bowed down, trying to hug Han You horizontally, but Han You grabbed his arm and whispered, "Your Majesty, there are so many people watching here, let me go by myself."

Xia Siyan hummed, and helped him slowly walk up the steps of the General's Mansion.

Zhang's family saluted behind Zhang Zhouhan and Mu Jinlan, and welcomed them in.

Mu Jinlan's brows have been furrowed since just now, and have never been relaxed.Although Zhang Zhouhan came back early and told her about the emperor and Han You, it was still hard for her to accept the fact that the two were so close.

She knew that according to Xia Siyan's temper, it was useless for her to say anything now.Now that the crown prince has been established, she can turn a blind eye and pretend she doesn't know, but according to her husband, the emperor definitely wants her to nod in support.

Thinking of the deceased queen, Mu Jinlan couldn't help feeling guilty, how could she nod her head?

She sighed and followed the emperor into the mansion.

Mu Jinlan prepared an independent courtyard for the emperor half a month in advance as a royal residence. At this time, the housekeeper bowed and led the way, leading the emperor forward.

Han You walked very slowly, and when everyone in the Zhang Mansion dispersed, Xia Siyan picked him up, and told Imperial Physician Wang to prepare soup and medicine as he walked.

Seeing that Zhang Zhouhan and Mrs. Lan were still nearby, Han You blushed and grabbed Xia Siyan's clothes: "Put me down quickly."

Xia Siyan carried him steadily through the winding corridors, and said in a moderate voice: "It's okay, Auntie and the others are all family members, so don't be embarrassed."

After hearing this, Mu Jinlan couldn't stay silent, so she asked, "Master Han, what's wrong with him?"

"I'm sick, my stomach always hurts, and I can't eat." Xia Siyan paused, remembering that Han You hadn't eaten today, and said, "Aunt asked the kitchen to prepare some white porridge for him."

Mu Jinlan hummed, ordered the maid beside her to do it, and sent Han You into the room with the emperor, and Zhang Zhouhan followed behind.

Han You hugged Xia Siyan's neck, blushing so much that he didn't dare to look up.Being carried all the way in in front of so many people, Xia Siyan still chatted with Mrs. Lan as if nothing had happened.If it wasn't so painful that he couldn't walk, he wouldn't want to be so embarrassed in front of others.

In the room, Xia Siyan put Han You on the bed, touched the sweat that was protruding from his forehead, and coaxed, "I asked Wang Jun to warm the medicine for you, and it will be fine in a while."

Han You responded in a low voice, and weakly raised his eyelids to look at Mrs. Lan and General Zhang. Seeing that they were both staring at him, he turned his eyes to look at Xia Siyan.

Xia Siyan kissed his forehead, covered his stomach with his hand, and rubbed him gently, "Close your eyes and rest for a while."

Han You shook his head and said nothing.

Mu Jinlan couldn't bear to see Han You's weak appearance, "Master Han, please rest well if you are not feeling well, we will not bother you for now."

"Aunt," Xia Siyan said suddenly, "I've called Mr. Han out, let's call him Jinglue."

Mu Jinlan paused, and exchanged a glance with Zhang Zhouhan. She didn't expect the emperor to bring up this topic so quickly.

Back then when she went to Beijing, her rhetoric was different in front of the emperor than in front of Han You. She knew that what she did was not very authentic, but it always achieved the effect no matter what.But now that the old relationship between the two of them has revived, it always feels a bit confrontational to bring up the past in person.

Mu Jinlan's expression was slightly cold, just as she was about to speak, Imperial Physician Wang came in with the medicine in hand.

"Your Majesty," Imperial Physician Wang handed the medicine bowl to the emperor with both hands, "Master Han's medicine."

This hand-to-hand and pick-up movement is very skillful, presumably it has been performed countless times on the way from Changzhou.

Xia Siyan helped Han You up with one hand and sat leaning against him, holding the medicine bowl steadily with the other.First, he tested the temperature with his lips, then passed it to Han You's mouth, and fed him to drink it in small sips.

After Han You finished drinking the medicine, Xia Siyan handed the empty bowl to Wang Jun again, no matter how many people were around, he pinched Han You's chin and kissed it.

This is a movement they are used to. At this time, Han You was exhausted and his mind was not so clear. After being kissed, he realized that there were so many pairs of eyes watching, and he couldn't help coughing.Xia Siyan patted him on the back to comfort him, and asked him in a low voice, "Is it better? Do you feel better?"

"Well," Han You pushed Xia Siyan away, "it's better."

He no longer leaned on Xia Siyan, but picked up a satin cushion on the side of the bed and put it behind his waist, sat upright, and bowed to Zhang Zhouhan and Mu Jinlan, "Your body Unwell, unable to stand up and salute, please forgive me."

Zhang Zhouhan hurriedly said: "It's okay, Jing Lue, you're welcome."

Mu Jinlan glanced at her husband from the corner of her eye, raised her eyebrows and said, "Master Han, you'd better have a good rest, it's not a good time to have a conversation now."

"Aunt," Xia Si said in a respectful tone, but there was a hint of warning in his words, "As long as Jing Lue wants to talk, we can talk at any time."

Today's Xia Siyan already has the majesty of an emperor, and when he said this, he had a sense of oppression from a superior.Mu Jinlan choked for a moment, and said with a straight face, "Your Majesty is right."

Han You saw that the smell of gunpowder between the emperor and Mrs. Lan was on the rise, and smiled gently at the emperor, "I don't want to talk, but I just want to answer a question that Mrs. Lan asked me back then."

Xia Siyan didn't know anything about the content of their conversation back then, so he raised his eyebrows: "What's the problem?"

Han You turned his head to look at Mu Jinlan, raised his spirits and said solemnly: "The words Mrs. Lan said to the younger generation when she came to the mansion, the younger generation will keep it in mind. In the past few years, I have always reflected on myself and dare not slack off. Now three years In the past, the junior also has the answer in his heart."

Mu Jinlan squinted her eyes, and felt that the person in front of her was very different from three years ago. Although her body became weaker, there was a kind of tenacity in her bones, which was shocking and should not be underestimated.

Han You was a little tired, and stopped for a while before continuing: "Three years ago, Mrs. Lan said that the younger generation is a minister, and is the hands and eyes of your majesty in the court. The king accepts the minister's advice, and the minister should be loyal to the king. Mrs. Lan At that time, I was asked if I could really have a clear conscience. At that time, I didn’t think about the answer clearly, so I didn’t answer.”

Xia Siyan immediately understood the lethality of his aunt's words to Han You back then, and his heart ached, he held Han You's hand tightly, lowered his head and inserted his fingers into the gap between Han You's fingers, and made ten fingers with him. buckle.

Han You rested for a while, his chest heaved, he looked straight at Mu Jinlan, and said without flinching: "Now I can answer this question, Mrs. Lan, I, Han Jinglue, have a clear conscience."

Mu Jinlan was stabbed by his sharp eyes, and raised the corner of her mouth to force a smile: "Master Han has figured it out."

"Yes," Han You also smiled, "Thank you Madam Lan for your reminder."

Mu Jinlan raised her chin slightly, "Since this is the case, then you can relax here to rest and recuperate. The capital is a long way away, and Mr. Han will not get sick on the way to worry His Majesty again."

After saying this, Mu Jinlan bid farewell to the emperor, turned around and left without looking at Zhang Zhouhan.Xia Siyan winked at Zhang Zhouhan and asked Zhang Zhouhan to go out to persuade him. Zhang Zhouhan understood and hurriedly followed.

After everyone had left, Han You breathed a sigh of relief, leaned softly on Xia Siyan again, and pleaded guilty: "Your Majesty, I made Mrs. Lan angry."
