Minister Gu Ming can't take care of himself

The four corners of the carriage sent by the palace are hung with copper bells.

Feiyang has good hearing, and when he heard the copper bell ring, he knew it was someone from the palace.Jumping out, seeing the baby-faced little eunuch, holding the candy bought by Xu Guanchen, he went up to meet him.

Xu Guanchen couldn't call him, let alone stop him, so he could only follow him, without even a chance to delay.

"Eunuch Xiaocheng." Feiyang stuffed all the candies to the little eunuch and asked him to keep them.

Eunuch Xiao Cheng put away the good things, lowered his voice, and said to Xu Guanchen: "Your Majesty is upset."

Xu Guanchen only felt that it was tricky, and scratched his head: "Ah... really?"

Feiyang curled his lips nonchalantly, and said seriously: "It's very coaxing."

Xu Guanchen was taken aback, what nonsense is this silly boy talking about?

This morning Xiao Zhi got up early, went out to practice swords and purging fire when the sky was twilight, and came back when the sky was bright.

When he came back, the little Taoist priest he just married yesterday was gone.

How about a little Taoist priest that Your Majesty put on the couch so softly?

Xiao Zhi frowned: "Where are people?"

"Young master left the palace early in the morning." Eunuch Cheng said softly, "The one who went out with His Majesty, I thought the two masters went out together. But Fei Yang followed."

Eunuch Xiao Cheng took the long knife in his hand, saw two bloody wounds on the palm of his right hand, and hurriedly said: "My servant, go and call the imperial physician who is on duty today."

Xiao Zhi unbuttoned his coat and walked in, but said: "Go yourself and pick some whisks."

Walking around the screen and dusting off the dust on his body, he sat down on the straw futon where Xu Guanchen was meditating.

The room warmer came in the morning and replaced the table with new herbs. Besides a bundle of herbs, there was also a rosary and jade ring on the table, which Xu Guanchen held in his hand all year round.

When Eunuch Xiao Cheng went out, he ran into General Pei who entered the palace early in the morning.

General Pei straightened his clothes, and asked seriously, "Where is Your Majesty inside?"

Eunuch Xiaocheng lowered his eyes: "The slave will be notified."

"where are you going?"

"The slave sent someone to hire the rotating imperial doctor, and..."

General Pei claimed to be a martial artist with a simple and straightforward mind. Hearing what he said, his expression changed, and he asked in surprise, "Your Majesty, please invite an imperial physician?"

"Your Majesty..." Eunuch Xiao Cheng explained, "I hurt my hand while practicing the sword."

General Pei's complexion changed again and again: "Your Majesty still had time to practice swords yesterday?"

"Last night, Grandpa fell ill again." Eunuch Xiao Cheng lowered his voice, "Your Majesty hugged me and went to the hot spring pool behind to soak for a long time."

"That's it." General Pei counted the days in his heart, "Isn't it too early for Brother Xu to fall ill?"

"Yes." Eunuch Xiao Cheng thought for a while, "The last time was on the first day of the twelfth lunar month, and the last time was in October. The last time was exactly two months, and this time it was less than 20 days."

At this time, the little eunuch who went in to communicate came out to announce General Pei. General Pei saw that Eunuch Xiao Cheng was about to leave, and asked again: "The imperial doctor just find someone to announce it. Where are you going?"

"Your Majesty asked the servant to pick two whisks in person."

"Your Majesty, for the sake of Brother Xu, will also start..." General Pei made a movement of slapping the whisk, "Have you started your journey of cultivation?"

"The slave speculates to himself, probably because he dirty the young master's whisk last night, His Majesty will choose two handles to compensate the young master."

"so."

General Pei stepped into the hall, saluted, and knelt down.

He said casually: "Your Majesty, the young master has gone out, won't you accompany him?"

Xiao Zhi was already a little annoyed, but he became even more annoyed when he said this, but his tone was still calm: "He doesn't need to report to me when he goes out."

"Young master..." General Pei raised his finger and touched his cheek, "Are you ashamed?"

Xiao Zhi casually picked up the rosary beads on the case and fiddled with them. After thinking about it, his words seemed to make sense, and even his complexion eased a lot.

"I happened to meet the young man when I came here. I will hunt white foxes and make clothes in the future, so I won't worry about no one wearing them." General Pei smiled, "But I can't just give him the white fox fur. Zijun's token was turned out and I gave it to him just now."

Xiao Zhi didn't say a word, just glanced at him, which could be regarded as acquiescing.

"However, the originally scheduled date was not February next year. Why did you mention yesterday in such a hurry? Eunuch Xiao Cheng sent someone over to deliver a message. I thought I had misheard."

"I'm sorry I didn't invite uncle to drink a glass of wine." That's what he said, but Xiao Zhi's face was expressionless, and he didn't mean "sorry" at all.

"Don't dare, dare not." General Pei asked, "Why is it suddenly so much earlier? It's colliding with the New Year's Eve, isn't it..."

Xiao Zhi frowned, with a gloomy face, and slowly let out a foul breath: "Xiao Qi."

"what?"

"Because of Xiao Qi."

Xiao Zhi got up, and General Pei quickly followed him to stand up.

The two went to the outer room one after the other.The paperwork on the long case was brought in this morning, Xiao Zhi flicked his sleeves, pulled out a secret paperwork, and handed it to General Pei.

With a hasty glance, General Pei closed the secret folder, handed it back to Xiao Zhi, and sighed: "No wonder the body was not found at that time, so maybe he was not dead, if..."

General Pei reacted and hurriedly said: "It doesn't matter whether Xiao Qi dies or not, your majesty and the young prince are born..."

Xiao Zhi said: "The matter is still hidden from him, I coaxed him to advance the date."

"He and Xiao Qi have been equally famous in Jinling since they were young." Xiao Zhi casually grabbed a pen on the long case and clicked slightly, "They are a couple recognized by the world."

Xiao Zhi raised his hand, threw the pen that had been broken in two on the desk, and went back to sit on the straw futon.

General Pei turned his head and saw Eunuch Xiao Cheng standing outside with a few whisks in his hands, leading the people. He stepped forward to take the whisks and sent away the innocent people.

Xiao Zhi sat cross-legged on the futon, as if Xu Guanchen was usually meditating.

There are five whisks in total, and Mr. Cheng picked the whisk according to Xu Guanchen's original one.

Xiao Zhi didn't practice Taoism and didn't understand, so after looking at it for a long time, he finally picked one.

General Pei asked, "What's the point of choosing this one, His Majesty?"

Xiao Zhi neatly placed Fuchen on the case.In fact, there is nothing particular about it, it's just that the black handle makes Xu Guanchen's hand look good.

General Pei asked again: "Yesterday, the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, did the young man live a good life? Is it a good day?"

"He did the calculation." Xiao Zhi glanced at the hexagrams on the case, and flipped through them casually, "There is nothing wrong with it."

"That's good."

Xiao Zhi was flipping through the hexagram book, and happened to see a page in the book.

The ink is still new, it should have been painted in the morning.What is painted is the hexagram image of three copper coins, and nothing else is marked.

He flipped through the hexagrams and compared them, his complexion suddenly changed.

When he raised his eyes again, his eyes were as sharp as a sharp sword: "Send someone to investigate and find him back." Xiao Zhi sneered and said, "I asked him last night if he saw the secret book, and he said no, but in the end... ..."

General Pei hurriedly said: "No, brother Xu is not such a person."

"Of course he isn't." Xiao Zhi said, "He just doesn't have a long memory."

He slapped the rosary in his hand on the desk, and shouted sharply, "Go find it!"

Knowing his temper, if you don't look for him, I'm afraid he will go crazy first.General Pei hurriedly replied: "Okay, okay, I will go find it."

Xiao Zhi rubbed the center of his brows, forced himself to be patient, and looked over and over at the piece of paper on which hexagrams were drawn.The two injuries on his right hand were ignored, and only the rotating imperial physician was left outside.

General Pei personally took people to look for it.

Due to the festival in recent years, patrols and defenses in various places in Jinling City have also been strengthened.

A handsome Taoist priest and a ten-year-old idiot boy did not deliberately hide their whereabouts. If they wanted to investigate them, they would be found soon.

In order not to disturb Xu Guanchen, General Pei asked Eunuch Xiaocheng to invite him to Dingguo's mansion.

General Pei first returned to Funing Hall to report: "Brother Xu is in the Duke's Mansion."

The attendant poured hot tea, Xiao Zhi groped the wall of the teacup with his fingertips: "Where is he before the Duke's Mansion?"

"At... He Jijiu Mansion." General Pei hurriedly said, "Old man He can be regarded as Brother Xu's teacher. It's almost New Year's Eve. It's nothing if he goes to see the teacher."

"What happened before He Fu?"

"East... Dongfang."

"Which street?"

"...Changning Street."

"Which household?"

"From left...the second household..."

"Okay." Xiao Zhi smiled wryly, "Xiao Qi's old house."

"Perhaps Brother Xu has a friend who happens to live there..." General Pei himself had no confidence in his words.

"What about people?"

"Eunuch Xiao Cheng has gone to invite him."

The nephew and uncle were speechless for a while, Xiao Zhi almost rubbed the opened page of the hexagram.

He's not jealous, he's just a little unwilling...

Well, he's just jealous.

Jealousy that Xu Guanchen's name and Xiao Qi's are listed side by side, and it has been passed down among the people, jealousy that Xiao Qi is the "His Royal Highness" in Xu Guanchen's mouth, and Xiao Zhi is only a "Fifth Highness" when he is the top of the sky.

Even after three years, even if Xiao Qi did such a thing to him, even though there was a lot of alienation and betrayal between Xiao Qi and him, once the news came that Xiao Qi was not dead, Xu Guanchen would be there for him. Holding the shaman for divination, running things.

Xiao Zhi couldn't match their youthful friendship.

It's fine if it's someone else, Xu Guanchen, who happened to be Xu Guanchen.

Xiao Zhi raised his hand, grabbed the rosary beads, put his hands in his sleeves, and fiddled with them one by one.

"Looking for old people, revisiting old places." Xiao Zhi said coldly, "Why is he so nostalgic?"

"His Majesty……"

Eunuch Xiaocheng invited outside: "Your Majesty, the little eunuch is back."

General Pei sighed, put on airs of elders, and said to Xiao Zhi: "Your Majesty, please don't speak in anger. You were angry with me before, and that's why you ran away in anger."

Xiao Zhi remained silent, not sure if he had listened.

General Pei came out from inside, while Xu Guanchen was waiting outside.

After exhorting Xiao Zhi, he then instructed Xu Guanchen: "Your Majesty is annoyed, don't talk when you go in, it looks more powerful, but it's actually easy to coax. When necessary, you can use necessary means, understand?"

What is the necessary means?Xu Guanchen was stunned, he didn't seem to understand much.

"That's all." General Pei waved his hand, grabbed the medicine box from the rotating imperial physician waiting outside the door, stuffed it into Xu Guanchen's hand, and reminded him, "Right hand."

Xu Guanchen was still in a daze, what right hand?

He pushed the door open and went in, separated by a screen, Xiao Zhi was behind the screen, knocked on the table with his knuckles, and said softly twice: "Come here."

It's like going to court to hear a case, or it's like a housework that's not clear.

Xu Guanchen comforted himself by going out for a while, I'm not... not going home at night, not afraid of him.
