Yan Sui went to the Tongfang Pavilion in a low-key manner, and Xu Jiashi also went with him. He refused to say why he was in a coma, and he refused to let Yan Sui call the imperial doctor to see him, insisting that he was in good health.

Yan Sui looked at Xu Jiashi, who was walking half a step behind with a dignified and silent expression, and always felt that something was wrong with him, but he couldn't see what was wrong.

Daiqin's mission had already left Beijing and returned to the grassland, but Wuyun Baoyin stayed behind——

Two days ago, on the eve of the mission's departure, he was assassinated by an assassin and injured his right chest. Although he was not fatal, he could not travel for a short period of time.So most of the mission returned first to prepare for the business, leaving a few people to wait on Wuyun Baoyin to heal his wounds.

Although Wuyun Baoyin was injured in Chen State, he was only a prince of Fanbang, not the official heir of King Khan, so Yan Sui didn't need to visit him personally.But Yan Sui heard from Sirui that the Prince Regent was in a coma for a day and a night, and almost became pregnant at that time, so he went out of the palace and came to the Palace of the Prince Regent regardless.Seeing that Xu Jiashi was sober and relieved, he began to make up for it, saying that he still wanted to visit Wuyun Baoyin, which was a legitimate reason for state affairs.

Tongfang Pavilion is the posthouse where Chen Guo officially entertains visitors. It is specially used for foreign missions to live in, and it is usually either empty or temporary for local officials who come to Beijing to report on their duties.

When he was a teenager, Xu Jiashi went to Beijing with his father. Because he stayed in Beijing for a short time, it was more convenient to live in the Tongfang Pavilion instead of living in the palace.

There is a river not far behind Tongfangguan, and his father would take him to fish.My father is very good at fishing, and he is very good at fishing skills, but Xu Jiashi is not a good student and has never caught fish.

Father said he was restless.

Suddenly one year, my father couldn't catch any fish anymore, and he returned to Jiangzhou and didn't go to Beijing for several years.Entering the capital again will be the year of great chaos.

Wuyun Baoyin's bedroom is on the second floor of the innermost building of the Tongfang Pavilion. Standing at the door, Yan Sui saw Xu Jiashi looking thoughtfully into the distance, and said, "If the regent doesn't want to see the prince, just wait at the door. Just a few words of condolences."

Xu Jiashi looked away and shook his head: "He has always been good at talking sweetly. If the minister is not present, there is no guarantee that he will frame him."

Yan Sui said: "The Regent thinks I will trust you?"

Xu Jiashi kept his face sullen and didn't answer.

Yan Sui had no choice but to enter the bedroom and saw Wuyun Baoyin lying on the bed, his darker complexion pale.

Yan Sui said: "The prince has suffered, I will definitely investigate to the end, find out the murderer and give the prince an explanation."

Wu Yun Baoyin stood up to salute, and said in a grateful tone, "Little Wang He De, how can His Majesty let His Majesty visit him personally!"

Yan Sui stepped forward quickly, and was about to help, but Xu Jiashi was faster than him, and pushed Wu Yun Baoyin back on the bed to lie on his back: "Since you are injured, the prince doesn't need to be polite!"

Wu Yun Baoyin didn't move for a while, pressed his right chest and gasped, and laughed through his teeth: "Xiao Wang was seriously injured and his eyesight was impaired, so I saw that the regent is coming. Xiao Wang is really flattered."

"No favour, the prince needn't be alarmed." Xu Jiashi quickly glanced at Wu Yun Baoyin's bare-chested right chest, which was slanted and bandaged. The wound was not cracked or bleeding.

This little injury is too embarrassing to keep your face shy?

Wu Yun Baoyin ignored Xu Jia's disdainful expression, and tightly held Yan Sui's hand with both hands: "Your Majesty, Xiao Wang really feels ashamed for making Your Majesty feel tired."

"If you feel ashamed, you can rest assured and return home as soon as possible." Xu Jiashi broke Wu Yun Baoyin's fingers one by one, released Yan Sui's hand, pulled a chair and sat down between the two of them, "The prince should lie still, Don't move around, watch out for the wound to open."

Yan Sui looked at the back of his hand in a daze, just now the rough palm brushed across, although he let go quickly, the touch and temperature were extremely familiar.

Wu Yunbaoyin smiled but didn't smile, and looked at Xu Jiashi coldly: "Thank you, Prince Regent, for your concern."

The Ministry of Rites and the relevant yamen in the capital have come to condolences and investigate, but in front of Yan Sui, what Wuyun Baoyin said was completely different from before.He shouted "Your Majesty", a layer of mist instantly appeared in his deer-like eyes, and Xu Jiashi stared at him, dissipating most of the brewing emotions.

He rubbed the corner of his eyes weakly and said: "The last time I took the liberty to mention my mother to Your Majesty, the little queen realized that it was impolite. But maybe it was my mother's blessing in the dark, otherwise the little king would not have escaped this calamity."

Yan Sui: "The prince's assassination is related to your mother?"

Wu Yun Baoyin nodded: "Your Majesty has a clear lesson. Although according to the Central Plains, family ugliness should not be publicized, but at this point, it is still important for Xiao Wang to save his life—" He made a gesture to get up again, but Xu Jiashi gave him a look, and then He leaned over and said earnestly, "Please protect His Majesty Chen Guo! Xiao Wang will be grateful!"

Yan Suiyue heard something wrong, and was about to speak, Xu Jiashi said coldly: "Chen Guo never interferes in the internal affairs of other countries, let alone Dai Qin has not established a country yet."

Yan Sui turned his head and looked at Xu Jiashi, and he also recognized what Wu Yun Baoyin said.

Wu Yun Baoyin narrowed his eyes: "Your Majesty is here, and the regent's stern words made Xiao Wang wonder what Chen Guo's surname is."

Yan Sui's complexion was not very good-looking, and Wu Yun Baoyin had provoked him so many times.

"The little prince keeps saying that he respects His Majesty, but he doesn't even know His Majesty's last name. Either he has been deceiving you with flattering words, or..." Xu Jiashi glanced at his wound coldly, "It's not the right chest, it's the wound." brain."

Not to be outdone, Wu Yun Baoyin said, "Little Wang Cai, he's not old enough to lose his mind after being injured."

"I hope the prince can grow old safely!"

"It's a pity that the regent may not see the day when Xiao Wang dies!"

Yan Sui felt dizzy when he heard that the two were fighting each other, originally they were only here for a formality, but unexpectedly the two of them got into an argument, so he wanted to find an excuse to get away.

Wu Yun Baoyin suddenly said: "Your Majesty, Ming people don't speak dark words. If Your Majesty helps me stabilize my position and inherit the kingdom, Dai Qin will come to court every year and pay tribute every year. He will be the most powerful barrier in the north of Chen Kingdom."

Yan Sui's complexion darkened, thinking that Wu Yun Baoyin really didn't know what to do, he couldn't see that he had already declined politely, but he had to point it out, and repeated Xu Jiashi's words just now: "Chen Guo never interferes in the internal affairs of other countries."

Wu Yunbaoyin's eyes were firm: "It's not just about Daiqin's internal affairs, it's more about Chen Guo's safety."

Yan Sui lowered his eyebrows, and said coldly: "Could it be that Dai Qin will fight against me, Da Chen, if I don't agree to form an alliance with the prince?"

"Of course not. It's just that since the person who assassinated Xiao Wang dared to do it in Chen State, how much respect would he have for His Majesty? If Daiqin fell into the hands of such a person, it would be like raising a wolf in the north of Chen State. Your Majesty Can you still sit back and relax?"

Yan Sui pondered for a moment: "So, the prince has identified the murderer."

Wu Yun Baoyin glanced at Xu Jiashi, and said to Yan Sui: "Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance, and the fewer people know about it—"

Xu Jiashi frowned.

Yan Sui said: "Since the matter is of great importance, the regent should be my adviser. The prince can say what he wants, and if he doesn't want me, he should go back to the palace."

Xu Jiashi's frowned brows instantly relaxed, he straightened his back, and raised his head slightly.

Wu Yun Baoyin saw pride and provocation in his eyes.

Wu Yun Baoyin lowered his head, his eyes darkened: "It's also... It's because Xiao Wang didn't think carefully."

"Your Majesty, the person who assassinated me was instigated by my third half-brother, Wu Yun Ge Ri. If it wasn't for Xiao Wang Simu's insomnia at night, he would have already become the soul of the assassin." Wu Yun Baoyin did not respond to the assassination. More detailed descriptions, but a direct introduction to the situation of the Daiqin royal family, "Wuyungeri's mother is the princess of the Saiting tribe. Although the Saiting tribe is long gone, there are still some old forces. And I... "

Wu Yun Baoyin laughed at herself: "As Xiao Wang said to His Majesty earlier, my mother is a native of the Central Plains who wandered in the grasslands. She wandered to Daiqin alone and forgot many things. She didn't even know where her hometown and relatives were. , let alone provide me with any real help. My mother passed away when I was 12 years old, even though she is still the most beloved woman of my father Khan, but the motherless child is pitiful—”

Wu Yun Baoyin raised his head, glanced at Yan Sui sadly, and quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I have touched His Majesty's heart again."

Yan Sui didn't make a sound.

"Wuyun Geri was jealous that I was better than him in riding, shooting, and thinking. His mother even hated my mother for being favored by my father Khan for many years. When the mother and son were in Daiqin, they made difficulties with me everywhere, but fortunately, I resolved them one by one. "

"This time, both Wuyungeri and I were ordered to come to the Central Plains to negotiate and trade. Wuyungeri was arrogant and arrogant and offended His Majesty Yasukuni, so he returned empty-handed. He Nan`feng felt even more resentful when he heard that the little king was favored by His Majesty, so he sent He didn't want Xiao Wang to return to Daiqin. Thanks to His Majesty's blessing, Xiao Wang was lucky to survive, but this matter caused Chen Guo trouble, and Xiao Wang felt deeply guilty."

Before coming in, both Yan Sui and Xu Jiashi had imagined whether Wu Yun Baoyin would deliberately lead the suspicion of the assassination to the regent, but they did not expect that he would report the royal infighting.

Yan Sui said slowly: "The prince is not in danger of life, it is God's blessing. I will not shirk my responsibility for such an incident in the territory of Chen State. I will ask the Ministry of Households to discuss the goods for trade and increase them as appropriate as compensation. After all, brothers are close relatives, easy suspicion will hurt brotherhood. The prince is just guessing, there is no conclusive evidence. I just think I have never heard of this."

Seeing that Yan Sui was about to leave, Wu Yun Baoyin hurriedly got up, touched the wound, and the gauze wrapped on his right chest quickly faded away the blood.But Xu Jiashi stood in front of him like a mountain, and he couldn't touch Yan Sui at all.

"Your Majesty, after all, I have half the blood of the Central Plains. Among the princes of Daiqin, no one is more suitable to be an ally of Chen Guo than me!"

Yan Sui ignored it.

Wuyun Baoyin gritted his teeth and said anxiously: "Your Majesty! Now that Wuyun Geri can kill me under His Majesty's nose, he will dare to lead the Daiqin cavalry south in the future! If one day he is really in charge of Daiqin, there will be no peace in the middle-earth grassland. day!"

Yan Sui has been weak in front of many people in his life, such as his elder brother, or Xu Jiashi, but he has been reducing his inherent cowardice all the time when he is the emperor.Internally, he cared about love and tolerance; but externally, he was tough——

"Chen Guo does not interfere in the internal affairs of other countries. If Dai Qin keeps his own place, Chen Guo will treat his neighbors in the north preferentially; if Dai Qin has a soldier and a horse going south, my general Chen Xiaoyong will let them never come back! Prince, take care of your wounds!"

Until Yan Sui and Xu Jiashi left and the deputy came in to change the medicine for the master, Wu Yun Baoyin was still fascinated by recalling what Yan Sui said.

"Prince, you hurt yourself, but the little emperor didn't respond. This is really..." The deputy envoy shook his head and sighed, and said a common saying in the Central Plains, "If you lose your wife, you lose your army."

"Did you pay?" Wu Yun Baoyin lowered his eyes, looking at the bloody wound, "but I find it more interesting... I always thought that the little emperor was a weak lamb, waiting for the wolf king to bring him back to his nest. The sharp wolf teeth were only exposed when he opened his mouth... Heh, the lamb with wolf teeth is always protecting the cunning and hateful old wolf. I should have seen through it... It's not too late. This is normal. The female beast gave birth, and the male beasts rode each other more, not to mention that this is a lamb with wolf teeth that is more beautiful than the female beast... Agula, do you remember what the little emperor looks like?"

Agula changed the medicine and wrapped the last circle of gauze, nodded: "What does the prince mean?"

"Find someone who is seven or eight points like the little emperor. Both men and women are good—no, I want a man. Seven or eight points are too difficult, and five or six points are barely enough." Wu Yun Baoyin's eyes were dark, and he licked his molars. , "Tonight."

Agula frowned: "The prince's wound hasn't healed yet."

Wu Yun Baoyin smiled lightly: "This little injury... Agula, can you see it, I feel heavy."

Agura nodded.

"My heart is heavy, but my desire is high." Wu Yun Baoyin's eyes were as sharp as a falcon, speaking the grassland language, he casually hummed the song that he sang to Yan Sui in the paddock that day, "One day, I will sleep for real."

-

Coming out of the Tongfang Pavilion, Xu Jiashi told Yan Sui that there was a small river for fishing not far behind.

Yan Sui asked Shuangshun to buy two fishing rods, but Xu Jiashi said in a low voice that no, since his father often goes fishing on the shore, he should have spare fishing rods there.

Yan Sui's heart sank, and he met Xu Jia's deep eyes.All the way, I felt that he had something on his mind, and I guessed right.

——About the old King Zhou who died in suspended animation, he was finally willing to take the initiative to talk about it.

This river is connected to the moat, but not far away is the Tongfang Pavilion. There are no houses or farmland nearby, so it can be said that it is inaccessible.Rows of willow trees grow densely on the bank, and the afterglow passes through the leaf gaps in the afternoon, and the temperature is not dry, giving people a golden soft glow.

Xu Jiashi wiped the bluestone on the bank with his sleeve, Yan Sui looked at it, and was about to sit down, Xu Jiashi said wait a minute, took off his outer clothes, and covered the stone surface: "Your Majesty, please sit down." He himself sat on the ground .

Because of Qingshi, Yan Sui sat a little higher than Xu Jiashi, looking down at Xu Jiashi who was fiddling with the fishing rod. When he was concentrating on one thing, he would unconsciously frown, showing stubbornness and tenacity.

During the time when he just woke up, both of them were extremely anxious, and they broke up unhappy when they met without saying a few words.

Yan Sui struggled with all his heart, while blaming himself, he also resented why Xu Jiashi had forgotten himself.I want to tell him everything about the past three years regardless, and even want him to know that I am going to be a father again.But when he calmed down, he looked back and forth and was afraid, fearing that such crazy behavior would push him further away.

After three years, many people and things are as elusive as if separated by a thick fog.

The most embarrassing thing among them is Xu Jiashi's father.

Yan Sui didn't know what the old king of Zhou had said to Xu Jiashi, and he was not sure how to gain more trust from Xu Jiashi than his father in this situation.

Therefore, if Xu Jiashi didn't mention the feigned death of the old Zhou king, Yan Sui didn't ask.

But today, he took the initiative to mention it.

Yan Sui's throat rolled up and down, but he took the initiative to speak but subconsciously changed the subject: "I don't know what fish there are in this river. I don't know how to fish. Whether I can eat fish tonight depends on the Regent."

Xu Jiashi threw the hook and looked sideways at Yan Sui: "I have lived for 30 years and never caught a fish."

"Then last time—"

"What was the last time?"

"Last time..." Yan Sui looked up and saw Shi Zhang standing not far away, and today it was his turn to defend the emperor again.Shi Zhang wanted to speak but his expression was complicated, so he asked, "Shi Zhang, what's the matter?"

Shi Zhang approached, glanced at Xu Jiashi and then Yan Sui, and said bluntly: "The last time the regent fished with His Majesty, he arranged in advance for guards with good water skills to hide in the water and hang fish on the hook. This time it happened suddenly. , too late to prepare."

Yan Sui: "..."

Xu Jiashi: "..."

Facing Xu Jia's complex and questioning eyes, Shi Zhang said without changing his expression: "The Regent has ordered that nothing should be concealed from His Majesty."

"Okay, just remember." Xu Jiashi sorted out his emotions and asked Shi Zhang to step back.

Find someone to hang directly on the hook if you can’t catch any fish?Is this something a man of sound mind can do after the age of 20?

He couldn't imagine how he was willing to make such an arrangement, but when he raised his eyes and saw the little emperor staring at the water with his chin propped on his hands, he suddenly seemed to understand.

It doesn't matter if you can't catch the fish yourself, but you can't let His Majesty down.

"I will practice hard in the future." Xu Jiashi gripped the fishing rod tightly, and the tip of the rod trembled and swayed the fishing line, causing ripples on the water surface.

"Huh?" Yan Sui looked back at him and couldn't help laughing, "Actually, I don't like fish very much, but Jing Yun likes it very much. He wrote again saying that his little daughter-in-law was very kind to him, and she changed her tricks." Make fish for him to eat. It’s a pity that the fish in Yongzhou has many spines, and he was stuck in the throat by the fishbone. Drinking vinegar didn’t help, the fishbone didn’t go down, and he had a stomachache..."

Hearing the emperor's family talk, which was obviously very plain, Xu Jiashi felt very at ease.

Don't hold the pole too tightly in your hand, the tighter it is, the less stable it will be.A secret cannot be hidden for a long time, the more it is hidden, the harder it is to reveal it.

Xu Jiashi took a deep breath and said in a calm tone as much as possible: "Your Majesty, whenever you want to punish the Xu family for the crime of deceiving the emperor, I will accept the punishment."

Finally got to the point.

Yan Sui kept a smile on his lips, stopped talking about his nephew, and looked at Xu Jiashi seriously: "Do you know why the old king of Zhou faked his death?"

Xu Jiashi shook his head: "I'm not sure, but I have a vague guess."

Yan Sui looked at him quietly.

"Your Majesty, my mother has a brother, and I have an uncle. My uncle has a daughter who was born in the same year, the same month, and the same day as my minister." Xu Jiashi stared into Yan Sui's eyes. Under such clear and gentle eyes, his every word was devout and sincere, " I lived in the capital until I was ten years old, and my uncle's family is adjacent to the palace, so I can say that I and my elder sister grew up together inseparable."

Growing up together inseparably, and having the fate of being born in the same year, the same month, and the same day, isn’t it the childhood sweetheart mentioned in the storybook?

Yan Sui felt a little depressed, and said "Yes", "The old king of Zhou told me about this."

Why did father say this to the emperor?Is it all the truth?

Xu Jiashi suppressed his uneasiness and continued: "Sister has a calm personality and likes to read books, but since she was a child, she has loved metaphysics and prophecy. She is a bit incompatible with other ladies, but there are also children from aristocratic families who come to propose marriage. Sister insists that she already has a sweetheart , refused to accept any marriage proposals. After 20 years old, my uncle passed away, and my father took care of my sister’s marriage, or delayed until after the age of 25. Seeing that there are fewer and fewer people who propose marriage, my father tried to let me marry my sister. He even submitted a memorial to Emperor Gaozong to invite Ajie to be the wife of the son."

Yan Sui's eyes began to sore.

Have you reached the stage of asking for a decree to grant a marriage?That would be justifiable.In comparison, Yan Sui, who has no intermediaries, is really shady.

Yan Sui felt short of breath, and was eager to escape from this place.

"Renzong withheld the marriage proposal for me, and I ran away from the marriage. Since then, I have no memory of my sister in my mind." Xu Jiashi spoke quickly, "Until recently, my father asked me again. she."

When Yan Sui heard the word "run away from marriage", he seemed to be saved instantly, and his brother was once again made into a god in his heart.With secret expectation, Yan Sui's voice choked up: "So, where is she now? She and you..."

Xu Jiashi thought of Ajie's current appearance, closed his eyes and sighed: "She is crazy."

"Crazy?" Yan Sui's lips trembled, "Could it be because..."

Is it because of yourself?A shameless person who robbed someone else's husband and made the sufferer go crazy?Yan Sui imagined a lot of humiliation and embarrassment, but he didn't expect that it was sin that he hit head-on.

"Father said that there was an accident when she gave birth to Ah Dou. I don't know the details." Xu Jiashi let out a breath slowly, forcing himself to look directly into Yan Sui's eyes, "Your Majesty, Ah Dou's birthday and minister The father faked his death almost at the same time. In order to take care of the sister, mother and son, the father threw the title of king of Zhou to the minister. The minister knew that this was a death penalty for deceiving the emperor, but the father paid the son back. Your majesty, please give me some more time to wait. After finding out everything, I will confess to His Majesty."

Yan Sui didn't want to argue with Xu Jiashi about bullying the emperor or not, he didn't care whether the old king of Zhou lived or died, what he wanted was Xu Jiashi!

Yan Sui is sitting in the world, it is very easy to get someone.Once fledgling, but now his mind is strong enough, and there are people available.If you want, you can even take advantage of Xu Jia's amnesia and lock him up so that he belongs to you alone.

But what's the point of that?To imprison a walking dead and be the villain who tore apart the family of three, Xu Jiashi will definitely hate him...

Yan Sui couldn't sit still anymore, and got up to leave, when Xu Jiashi suddenly grabbed his wrist.

Yan Sui looked down, but Xu Jiashi had let go of his hand, picked up the fishing rod with the other hand, and a fresh carp jumped into his arms.

Xu Jiashi took off the hook, and offered the carp to Yan Sui with both hands: "This time, I caught it myself."

Yan Sui didn't pick it up, and the live fish leaped away.Yan Sui wanted to cry.

What qualifications does he have to take over the fish?Hands smelled sticky after receiving it, and Yan Sui couldn't get rid of the image of a crazy woman who lost her husband, and she was the chief culprit of the crime. This sin can't be washed away.

"Your Majesty, my original memory stays in the time when I escaped from marriage and entered Beijing three years ago. Not long ago, I just remembered that I offended Your Majesty after entering Beijing." Xu Jiashi pressed the carp, the river water wetted his front, and the fish scales stuck to his neckline.When he said "offend", his Adam's apple rolled uncontrollably.

So, did he remember the first time we met?But what's the use of that?

Yan Sui's eyes were misty, and he heard Xu Jiashi say: "I have too many puzzles now, I need to find out one by one, and claim it together with the crime of deceiving the emperor and the crime of offending. This order is up to you." Your Majesty will deal with it."

Who wants whose life!

Yan Sui raised her head to let the tears flow back: "So, now, do you need me to give you a marriage? Or ask a famous doctor to give you..." Yan Sui spat out the word "madam" with difficulty, "I will treat your wife."

"She..." Xu Jiashi almost blurted out that she was not Mrs. Chen.

But there was no evidence, so it stopped abruptly.

27-year-old Xu Jiashi doesn't like women, defies his father's order and escapes marriage, and then suddenly turns 30.

The 30-year-old Xu Jiashi still doesn't like women, but there is no evidence to prove that he is not married, and he cannot vouch for what he has done in the past three years.

Before the truth is known, he can neither insist on his innocence and ignore his cousin's suffering, nor do he want to deceive the king again.

He needs to verify, to verify with strong evidence that he is not married, neither is anyone's husband, nor is anyone's father.Then he presented the clear and real result, just like this fish, to the emperor——

Even the emperor doesn't care.

You might also find him inexplicable.

Before that, he needs to restrain the part of his heart that is not in his duty as a minister, so as not to tarnish the emperor.

Coveting His Majesty is already a capital crime, Xu Jiashi hopes that this capital crime will be innocent.

The author says:

Honesty is the foundation of a long-term and stable relationship.
