I heard my brother is a tyrant

After the time of Haishi, a cold and cold moon hung in the sky, horseshoes trampled through the night, from far to near, a group of more than a dozen fast horses galloped into the Liuhua post.

"Who is coming?"

As soon as the postman interrogated him, a waist card was thrown in his arms, the postman hurriedly caught it, his clothes flashed in front of his eyes, the leader had already dismounted, he ignored it, and went straight to the courtyard.

Seeing the person coming, the guard on duty in the dark disappeared back, while Chang Shun ran up to meet him, and just about to salute, a cold and indifferent voice asked in his ear: "Where is the girl?"

"The girl went to the room in the backyard and has already fallen asleep. The servant will take you there."

The door outside the upper room was pushed open, everyone in the room was startled, and then fell to their knees.Xie Dan glanced at it, casually said a word of courtesy, slowed down his steps, and went to the inner bedroom.

Ye Ling lowered her head and ran to keep up, whispering: "The girl fell asleep after taking the medicine, and the servant is going to call?"

"No need."

Ye Hui was guarding the inside, he didn't seem to react when he came in, his expression was a little dazed, he got up and saluted quickly after being silly.Xie Dan didn't seem to see her, just walked lightly to the bed, bent over and looked at the little girl on the bed.

Yes, she was only nine years old when she was sent to Luzhou, and she was still a doll. Looking at it now, just looking at this small face, it seems that she hasn't grown much. With a childish look, the small nose and small mouth are still the same, except that the chin seems to be a little pointed.

He didn't seem so skinny when he was raised.

God knows how difficult it is to raise this premature, frail and picky eater into meat.

Before he was two years old, he didn't take care of much, and he sometimes hugged and coaxed him. Since he was less than three years old, the child has been completely owned by him.

He was only 13 years old at the time, and his biggest problem every day was how to get her to eat more.It is too easy for a child to die young, especially since she is extremely weak, and he is always afraid that if he is not careful, he will raise her up.

At this moment, the complexion on this face is still not good, no blood can be seen under the candlelight, the small brows are slightly frowned in sleep, the long eyelashes like crow feathers cover the lower eyelids, the small mouth is slightly opened, and the sleep is deep.Xie Dan stared at her and looked at her. She didn't know whether it was the feeling of being watched in sleep or what. Her slightly opened mouth moved, and she made a thin nasal sound. She closed her lips, and then moved her head slightly. I adjusted my posture and went back to sleep.

Xie Dan smiled unconsciously.

Ye Hui and He Shi couldn't help but looked at each other. Since the emperor came in, he had been leaning over the bed and staring at Ye Chu all the time, and no one else dared to make any moves.Ye Ling and Chang Shun, who followed Xie Dan, stood there respectfully with their heads bowed, also a little at a loss by the emperor's actions.

Finally, Xie Dan straightened his waist, but went to the side, untied the wind belt while walking, and whispered: "Bring a basin of water."

As soon as Chang Shun heard that he wanted water to wash up, he quickly asked someone to prepare the room for him to rest.The Liuhua Inn was originally small, and the best upper room was already occupied by Ye Chu, so he hurriedly vacated a spacious room next to it, and asked someone to clean it up quickly.

Unexpectedly, when he looked up, he saw the emperor walking back in only a white coat.

This, this, this...

Xie Dan asked for water, but didn't ask anyone to wait on him, so he washed and tidied up by himself, took off his outer robe, and in the weather of early summer and late April, only the white middle single was left inside and walked back.He galloped all the way, his body must be covered with dust and night dew, maybe there were some flying insects and other unclean things.

The little girl was born prematurely and weak, so she had to be careful everywhere, anyway, he didn't dare to touch Ye Chu unless it was cleaned up.

Xie Dan didn't pay attention to the subtle expressions of everyone in the room. He walked to the edge of Ye Chu's bed and sat down. He stretched out his hand and gently pinched her face. His fingertips slid across her cheek. The cheek was warm, and he touched her again. The hand she put outside the quilt had slender fingers and slightly cool fingertips. He carefully put this hand into the quilt, watched her sit quietly for a while, then got up and went out.

Both Xu Yuanzhi and Ye Fu were waiting in the small hall outside, seeing Xie Dan coming out busy and saluting, Xie Dan yelled and sat down on the chair casually.

As soon as he sat down, he heard He said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the girl took the medicine and lighted tranquilizing incense in the room. She really fell asleep, and she didn't sleep so deeply."

Xie Dan paused for a moment before he understood what he said. He was explaining why Ye Chu slept so deeply. Was it because she was worried that she had neglected the emperor and that he would blame him?

Xie Dan hummed lightly: "Don't disturb her." He turned to Xu Yuanzhi and asked, "Didn't you say you were motion sick? Why did you still vomit after getting out of the car? You couldn't eat for a whole day. What kind of medicine did you take?"

Xu Yuanzhi said: "Returning to Your Majesty, the girl is afraid that she is not acclimatized, her qi and blood are weak, her spleen and stomach are out of balance, she suddenly disembarked from the boat, coupled with motion sickness, it will become more serious."

Xu Yuanzhi explained that Ye Chu fell asleep when he came to the posthouse in the evening, and he did not sleep soundly. During the period, he woke up twice, sweating, having headache, nausea, and feeling weak all over, so he gave her the right medicine, which added two or more Taste the medicinal materials that calm the nerves and help sleep, and light the incense for calming the nerves.

The word "unacceptable" made Xie Dan's eyes flash with annoyance.He glanced at Chang Shun, and scolded in a low voice: "Since the girl is motion sick, but let her ride in the carriage for a whole day, what do you want?"

Chang Shun knelt down with a plop.

"How long will it take to heal, is there any way?" Xie Dan asked Xu Yuanzhi.

Xu Yuanzhi said that it usually takes six or seven days, and added boldly: "The girl is weak, especially the spleen and stomach are weak, I am afraid... it will take longer. Acclimatization can be minor or serious, and some people need a month or two to get used to it." In addition to medicine, there is another folk method, which is to use a bowl of water from the original residence, add a pinch of soil from the original place, boil and filter to drink, and the acclimatization of the water and soil can be relieved as soon as possible. It’s just that we have been on the road for more than two months. It really couldn’t be kept for such a long time, so I never brought it with me.”

Xie Dan thought for a moment, then called a guard: "Send a letter to He Yong, Luzhou Wei, and tell him to fetch water and soil, and send it urgently within [-] miles."

The guard snorted and walked out.

"Don't rush on the road tomorrow, let the girl stay here for a few days before we talk about it." Xie Dan got up and walked to the inner room, and ordered, "Let's all step back."

Then all the people waited helplessly to see him in the white coat, with a straight back, and went back to the inner room.

Xie Dan walked into the inner room, Ye Hui was lying on the edge of the bed and guarding, when he saw him coming in, he was startled again, and hurriedly stood up.

"I'll take a nap and call me in half an hour."

Ye Hui murmured: "Your Majesty, Eunuch Chang Shun has prepared a room for you."

Xie Dan stopped, glanced at Ye Hui with some meaning, paused and explained: "I'll stay with her for a while. You go down."

"Yes."

Ye Hui bowed and walked out, carefully closing the door.He Shi, Chang Shun and others were guarding outside the door, when they saw her coming out, they hurriedly asked, "Where is Your Majesty?"

"Take a nap inside and call him after half an hour."

The expression on He's face suddenly became strange, rubbed his hands and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty...how is it... the girl is only thirteen on the Dragon Boat Festival."

Chang Shun grinned at once, and laughed in a low voice happily: "Oh, look at what you said, beautiful women are only 13 years old when they enter the palace, folks marry early, and people get married at the age of twelve or thirteen. "

Ye Hui frowned and said, "What are you talking about? Your Majesty only said to take a short nap. What does it have to do with how old the girl is?"

Ye Hui was raised by the secret guard organization since she was a child, and she was only 12 years old when she was sent to Ye Chu's side. She didn't understand their words very well, and He didn't dare to say anything in front of Chang Shun.

But Ye Hui found an explanation by herself, and said with her mouth curled up, "Are men and women very defensive? Why are there different seats at the age of seven? Ah Chu was brought up by His Majesty. When he first came to Luzhou, His Majesty carried her up the mountain. She is afraid of life, and she is still relying on His Majesty's back. They have been brothers and sisters for so many years, and His Majesty said that he wants to accompany the girl, so there is nothing to guard against."

"Oh, what do you know!" He scolded in a low voice.

"You all take good care of me." Chang Shun called the maids standing at the door.

Chang Shun didn't have a clue in his mind.You said that he is a former eunuch, and he has never served in the harem. He has no experience in these things.

Inside the room, Xie Dan was sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at the sleeping girl, feeling so at ease for the first time in three years.

After more than three years, she finally returned to his side.

"An'an," Xie Dan called her baby name, stroking the top of her head and told her in a low voice, "this world is ours now, under the whole world, no one will dare to bully you anymore, no one will let you You are wronged a little bit, you can do whatever you want, brother promised you, even if you want a star in the sky, brother will pick one for you."

The girl on the bed was still in a deep sleep, so she couldn't hear her at all.

Xie Dan couldn't help but fiddled with her feather-fan eyelashes with her fingertips. The little girl showed an expression of resistance in her sleep, her small face wrinkled, but she turned over to him.Xie Dan was afraid of waking her up again, so he quickly lay sideways on the side of the bed, propped up with one hand, and gently patted her with the other skillfully.

"Hey, go to sleep, go to sleep, it's okay."

Half an hour later, Ye Ling opened the door lightly and came in, she was startled when she saw it.

I saw Xie Dan leaning on the head of the bed with his clothes on, without a quilt, wearing deerskin boots under his white jacket, his feet crossed over the edge of the bed, one hand resting on the back of his head, the other hand around Ye Chu The top of her head is wrapped around her shoulders, full of guard posture, and her eyes are closed as if she is asleep.

The delicate and sweet girl, the tall and handsome man, the sleeping picture in front of him is so harmonious and beautiful.

Ye Ling was stunned for a moment, then quickly lowered her head when she came back to her senses, walked up to him respectfully and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, it's half an hour."

Xie Dan opened his eyes, his pupils were quickly clear, but there was a sudden resistance in his heart, he didn't want to move.He had a big court meeting today, and originally planned to rush back, but...he looked down at the little girl who was sleeping in his arms, she was still awake, the big court meeting was actually not that important.

Xie Dan waved Ye Ling back, closed his eyes and fell asleep, but after a while he straightened up and sat on the edge of the bed in annoyance.

Forget it, today there are envoys from southern border countries coming to court.Since he took it in this world, he must promise her a prosperous and peaceful world.

In the dark of night, he rode his horse back, and before leaving, he said: "You don't need to tell the girl that I have been here, when she enters Beijing, I will go out of the city to pick her up."

If he knew he was coming, but left before she woke up, the child would be unhappy.

Ye Chu slept until dawn, the sun shone into the room through the window paper, casting a warm yellow halo in front of the bed, she opened her eyes, and saw Ye Ling sitting on the chair beside the bed, eyes slightly closed rest.Ye Chu couldn't help but feel a little sorry. When she fell ill, her aunt and cousins ​​took turns to guard her for another night.

Ye Chu propped up his arms and sat up from the bed, calling softly, "Big sister."

"Are you awake?" Ye Ling opened her eyes, hurriedly got up to support her, quickly put a pillow on her back, and asked, "How do you feel, what else is uncomfortable?"

"I'm weak all over, and my head is a little dizzy." Ye Chu replied obediently, smiled apologetically and said, "Big sister, thank you for your hard work."

Ye Ling sat down on the edge of the bed, looked at her weak and well-behaved appearance, unconsciously softened her tone, and said with a smile: "You, from yesterday to now, you only ate a few mouthfuls of white porridge yesterday morning, so it's no wonder you have strength .”

That's why he was so frightened that he came here overnight.Thinking of what happened last night, Ye Ling looked at the girl half lying on the pillow, and said to herself how do you know what happened that night.

"Big sister..." At this moment, Ye Chu asked with some embarrassment, "I didn't disturb you last night, did I? Did something happen?"

Ye Ling paused when she heard the words, and said with a quick smile: "No, you have been sleeping since you took the medicine. What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, it's just..." Ye Chu blushed, and smiled softly, "I feel uncomfortable at night, my stomach hurts and my head hurts, as if someone came to coax me, big sister, I dreamed about my brother."
