Ming Changsu put the umbrella in the courtyard and entered the house by himself.

Others dared to look but did not speak, knowing that their master was in a bad mood, so they dared not ask more questions.

……

The news of Chu Xiao's return to the palace quickly spread in the palace. Among them, the left and right prime ministers, all wanted to come to the palace to meet Chu Xiao, but were blocked by the regent.

It turned out that when Chu Xiao was in Chu State, or the original owner was still in Chu State, he rarely saw outsiders at that time, which is not surprising, but after all, so many things happened a while ago, the basic problem is still with Chu Xiao himself. .

Those old guys still don't quite believe that Chu Xiao has finally returned to the palace. The regent announced that the emperor is recuperating, so those old guys have to come in anyway to see if Chu Xiao is alive or dead. The world is about to break the threshold.

Chu Xiao has been staying in the palace for the past few days, completely listening to the arrangement of the regent. The regent wanted to guard him this time, and the mansion outside the palace could not be moved. He has been in the palace for a while. Tao Ge's residence is in Chu Xiao. On the right side, the regent's residence is on the left side of Chu Xiao's palace, guarding Chu Xiao firmly from left to right.

Tao Ge had to check his pulse every day, and he would prescribe some medicine. The medicine he prescribed became more and more bitter every day. After several days, Chu Xiao drank the pain mask at the beginning, and then gradually became numb.

When it's time to drink the medicine, the regent will come to Chu Xiao's hall, sitting there as stable as Mount Tai, staring at Chu Xiao taking the medicine, facing the expression of the regent, Chu Xiao's non-stop mouth on weekdays dare not complain .

The regent has also been away from the palace for many days, and now the ministers have a lot of things to do, and they are busy day and night after returning. Chu Xiao sees the regent every day. Chu Xiao drank medicine to recuperate, and his health is getting better and better. On the contrary, it got worse and worse, the dark circles under the eyes were getting bigger day by day, and the panda eyes were hard to come out.

Ever since we met again, the Prince Regent's face has not looked good, and now his eyes are blue because of staying up all night, which is even more frightening. Sitting there, Chu Xiao always feels that he has seen a ghost.

But Chu Xiao didn't dare to speak, the regent was in such a state now, he didn't dare to take a breath after sitting there for a long time.

Another day at noon, after Chu Xiao finished drinking the medicine, someone came to report. The regent went out first when he heard the movement. The occasional conversation outside the door came into the hall, and Chu Xiao heard some movements one after another.

For the first time in so many days, Chu Xiao took the initiative to ask, "Is it Eunuch De?"

As soon as the words fell, the people outside the hall were obviously taken aback. After a while, the regent came in, followed by a person who was Deshun.

In the past few days when Chu Xiao returned to the palace, the people who waited on him were always the people of the regent. Chu Xiao didn’t know anyone, and he didn’t dare to ask where the former court ladies and eunuchs went. Now seeing the familiar Deshun, he immediately Tears filled my eyes.

Chu Xiao on the dragon bed wept, Deshun immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty!"

Chu Xiao sniffed and said, "Eunuch De, long time no see."

Deshun said: "It's been a long time. Your Majesty has gone through the sweltering summer and autumn equinox, and didn't come back until New Year's Day. Now that I have returned to my homeland, I can feel at ease waiting for old slaves."

After not seeing him for a while, Deshun's health deteriorated a lot, and he spoke intermittently, quite out of breath.Seeing this, Chu Xiao immediately got out of bed. From the corner of his eye, he saw that the regent had no intention of obstructing him. Chu Xiao held Deshun's hand and led him into a chair beside him.

Deshun was terrified, and after Chu Xiao helped him to sit down, he also sat down on another seat, which made the regent who followed them stop.

Chu Xiao noticed that his eyes turned back, and saw that the regent's eyes were subtle. There were only two chairs in this hall. He sat and Deshun sat, and the regent had no room.

What's more...Chu Xiao is now sitting in the seat reserved for the Regent.

Over the past few days, Chu Xiao was very discerning, and stood up with the eyes of the regent. He brought Deshun a glass of water, and at the same time patted Deshun on the back and said, "Eunuch Deshun, what's the matter?"

Deshun coughed and coughed: "Your Majesty...don't worry, Your Majesty, this old slave is fine."

That being said, Chu Xiao looked at Deshun as if he didn’t look like he was safe, he sighed in his heart, and the regent said quietly at this moment: “Eunuch De was most worried when he saw the big emperor disappearing suddenly. You, worrying about your safety, working day and night, getting sick from overwork."

Hearing this, Chu Xiao froze, and his hand patted Deshun's back lightly and lightly, as if touching a fragile object.

Chu Xiao said: "Eunuch De, I made you worry."

Deshun said: "This is what an old slave should do. I haven't seen you for a while, and Your Majesty has lost weight again."

Before Chu Xiao finished speaking, he was attracted by the movement outside the palace. The regent heard it too, and he frowned and said, "Your Majesty, I'll go out and have a look first."

Chu Xiao subconsciously said, "Who is this time?"

The regent looked back at him, and Chu Xiao immediately shut his mouth tightly.

After the regent left, Deshun breathed a sigh of relief and said slowly: "During this period, the prince may have a very hard time."

Chu Xiao also knew that, after all, the regent came to him every day, and Chu Xiao could see any changes. Deshun said: "The court is turbulent, and the old ministers don't gather in one place. Now they are thinking about their own selfish desires. There is also the Kingdom of Shu, ahem, the people of the Kingdom of Shu may attack them in a few days."

Hearing this, Chu Xiao completely stopped patting Deshun's back, and said, "Eunuch De, what do you mean?"

Deshun said: "Your Majesty, I hope Your Majesty will forgive your sins. As a member of the harem, it is really inconvenient for the old slave to intervene in the affairs of the court, but now the Regent is facing those veterans alone. The old slave watched you grow up. After two generations of court, I still have some knowledge of some of these things, in my opinion, this is the price for the prince to redeem His Majesty from the Kingdom of Shu."

Chu Xiao opened his mouth, but he didn't make a sound for a while, De stood up by the way, and he suddenly knelt down towards Chu Xiao and said, "Your Majesty!"

Chu Xiao subconsciously supported him and said, "Eunuch De, you...why is this? Get up!"

Deshun said: "The old slave has served the emperor, and now the old slave has not much time. Now the old slave only hopes that His Majesty and the prince can get along well. You are young and come to power. The old slave can see how difficult it is. Here, no matter what the future holds, this old slave only hopes that His Majesty and the prince will be well!"

Helping Deshun up, Chu Xiao was still a little stunned. The regent stayed outside the house for a long time, and when he came in, he brought another person. Chu Xiao took a closer look and found that it was Xue Shang.

As soon as Xue Shang came in, De retired by the way. Chu Xiao wanted to send him off, but was rejected by Deshun. Looking at Deshun's old and frail back, Chu Xiao had mixed feelings in his heart. He only felt that Deshun had just said goodbye. Have deep meaning.

It's not like anything else, it's more like a farewell.

After Deshun left, Xue Shang and the regent were left in the hall. The regent didn't let Chu Xiao go back to bed, so Chu Xiao knew that Xue Shang should have something important to do when he came.

Chu Xiao said: "Xue Qing, what's the reason for coming here in such a hurry?"

Xue Shang saluted and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I heard that His Majesty had returned to the palace a few days ago, and I kept it in mind, so I came to have a look."

Chu Xiao nodded and said, "Xue Qing has a heart."

Xue Shangdao: "Your Majesty, I have one more thing to announce."

Chu Xiao said: "If you want to say something, just say it."

He glanced at the regent and saw that the latter did not intend to stop him.

Xue Shangdao: "According to the good news from the north, the army of Shu State started to attack our border army three days ago, and now they have captured the Yun Pass."

As soon as the voice fell, Chu Xiao did not respond immediately, and the regent said: "Xue Shang, who are you saying that led the troops to attack the people of our Shu Kingdom?"

Hearing what he said, Chu Xiao's heart skipped a beat. His whole body was stiff, and he felt his whole body was as cold as ice, and he completely lost the ability to think.

Xue Shangdao: "According to the good news, the leader of the people who attacked our country of Chu is a man named Ming Changsu."

The hall fell into silence for a while, and Chu Xiao couldn't hear anything behind him for a while, and there seemed to be a buzzing in his ears, which was also peaceful.

Xue Shang also said: "Your Majesty?"

The regent said: "You go down first, I already know your thoughts, and I will summon you after I discuss with His Majesty."

Xue Shang said: "Yes."

Sending Xue Shang away, Tao Ge from the next door came over after a while, Chu Xiao was pushed on the chair by the regent, and covered with fox fur, he met the regent's gaze, and the regent said: "Have you slowed down?"

Chu Xiao didn't speak.

The regent suddenly leaned over, put his hands on Chu Xiao's shoulders, and said slowly: "If it was in the past, I might not have believed His Majesty telling me that I am more in love with Ming Changsu than Jin Jian, but now..."

He paused, his voice softened a bit, and said: "Even if there is, it is absolutely impossible from today onwards. I think Your Majesty knows this better than me. The current situation of Chu State is definitely not in a favorable position." , Seeing how the people of Shu are attacking us, they don't seem to want to let us go."

Chu Xiao met his eyes, and said with a complicated heart: "Ah Xuan, tell me, the price you paid for my return...is that so?"

The regent shook his head and said: "The emperor of Shu didn't say anything about it. As you can see, he has always entertained us nicely."

Chu Xiao's pale lips trembled, and the regent said again: "However, even if it is at such a price, then I will change it."

Chu Xiao raised his head sharply, his eyes stained with disbelief, and the regent said: "A country cannot be without a king for a day, and when Chu is in a day, you are the emperor of Chu, as I said, I will not give up anyone in our country. "

The fire in the hall was blazing and warm. After Chu Xiao drank the medicine, the regent allowed him to open the window for the first time. Chu Xiao lay in front of the window and accidentally saw Deshun's figure.

Before Deshun walked far, Deshun's trembling figure moved in the snow, and from Chu Xiao's position, only his back could be seen.

Seeing this scene, thinking about what he said to the regent just now, Chu Xiao stared at the hunched back, his eyes suddenly turned red.

He got up suddenly, pulled Tao Ge who hadn't gone far, and said to the regent: "Ah Xuan, Eunuch De hasn't gone far, please bring him back and show him his body."
