Minister Gu Ming can't take care of himself

This time the illness was more serious.

Xu Guanchen lay on the couch for two days, except for the Taoist priest's morning and evening classes, he even ate and drank medicine on the couch.

Fei Yang came over every day, talked to him during the day, watched him sleep at night, and put his precious little wooden dummy beside his pillow, but—the little wooden dummy was always replaced by Xiao Zhi.

Xiao Zhi came at night and left early in the morning.Xu Guanchen was aware of it, but he was so sleepy that he could not catch anyone because of the decoction to sleep.

When Feiyang was coaxing him to sleep the next day, Xu Guanchen tried to ask him something.

Feiyang's childlike nature is true, but now, childish nature is the most deceitful.

Xu Guanchen didn't even think about asking any shocking secrets from him, he just talked to him like gossip: "After staying here for three years, does Feiyang know anyone?"

Fei Yang nodded heavily: "I know."

Xu Guanchen pointed at himself, Feiyang paused and said: "Brother."

"Then how did brother Guanchen get here?"

Feiyang thought for a while, then said: "Carriage."

Xu Guanchen thought, he probably didn't understand, thought he asked him how he came back from the palace last time.

Xu Guanchen rubbed his head, and asked again: "The last time I was at the door of His Royal Highness's old house, why did Feiyang..."

When I heard His Highness the Seventh Prince, it was amazing.Feiyang was so angry that he dropped all the precious toys in his arms, stood up, lowered his head, and looked at Xu Guanchen angrily: "Don't mention him!"

I didn't expect his reaction to be so big that he couldn't even mention it.

"Okay, okay." Xu Guanchen hurriedly got up to coax him, "Don't mention him, don't mention him."

Feiyang sat on the side of the couch, shouted angrily, and ordered him: "Sleep!"

"Okay, okay." Xu Guanchen lay down quickly, covered the quilt, "Sleep, brother sleep."

Feiyang covered him with the quilt, took his hands in, and pulled the quilt over his head.

Xu Guanchen held his breath under the quilt for a while, and couldn't hold it anymore, so he exposed his head to get some air.

Feiyang was still sitting on the edge of the couch, with his hands on his knees, without saying a word.

Xu Guanchen patted him on the back, and said warmly: "What's wrong with Xiao Feiyang? Are you angry?"

Feiyang hummed and turned his head to ignore him.

Xu Guanchen continued to coax him: "Where's Little Feiyang's wooden figure? You won't let your little wooden figure accompany brother tonight?"

Feiyang thought for a while, then decided: "The little wooden man will be with Feiyang tonight."

"Okay."

When he got better, Xu Guanchen asked him again: "What about Your Majesty?"

This child was really terrible, when he heard His Majesty, he turned his head suddenly, his eyes were red, and he was about to cry suddenly.

Xu Guanchen was so frightened by his fits and starts, he quickly sat up and wiped his tears with his sleeve: "What's the matter? What's the matter? Brother don't ask, don't ask."

Feiyang threw himself into his arms and cried: "Brother is Feiyang's only brother."

"But..." Xu Guanchen was puzzled, "I didn't recognize other younger brothers."

"Feiyang wants to sleep with brother!"

He yelled these words loudly, and someone outside heard them, knocking on the table as if warning.

Hearing this voice, Feiyang cried even louder, complained with sobs: "Three years... Feiyang hasn't slept with my brother for three years!"

The outsiders pounded the table again.

"Your Highness...Your Majesty..." Feiyang continued, "Feiyang doesn't like any of these two 'Your Majesties'."

Xu Guanchen coaxed: "Okay, okay, I don't like it, I don't like it."

"Elder brother must not like it..." Feiyang hiccupped, the last two words of the sentence were broken, "...Your Majesty."

Before Xu Guanchen could respond to him, Eunuch Xiao Cheng appeared in time with a sugar bowl in his hand, and coaxed Feiyang away: "Brother Guanchen is still sick, it's getting late, don't disturb his sleep."

Xu Guanchen sat alone on the couch in a daze, what happened just now?

Feiyang was outside, and he didn't know who he saw, so he stomped his feet and said angrily, "I thought Feiyang didn't know..."

He raised the volume, and talked to Xu Guanchen from the inside to the outside room: "Brother, your wooden dummy is here."

At a young age, I know a lot.

Xu Guanchen looked at Xiao Zhi who opened the bed curtain and stood in front of him, and consciously shifted his position inside: "The child is having a temper tantrum. It's late, if you want to sleep, you can go to bed."

"Let him know, won't he cry again?"

Having said that, Xiao Zhi took off his clothes, put down the curtains, and sat down beside him.

"I'll just coax him tomorrow." Xu Guanchen hid under the quilt, "Your Majesty please blow the lamp."

Xiao Zhi paused, then went to blow the lamp on the bed.

Under the action of the medicine, Xu Guanchen soon fell asleep, Xiao Zhi held him in his arms, and rubbed his Adam's apple with his fingertips.

On the third day, Xu Guanchen coaxed Feiyang for a long time before coaxing him well.

Finally, Feiyang uttered wild words: "Could it be that the husband is more important than the younger brother?"

Xu Guanchen hit him on the head with the rolled scripture.

Taking medicine at night, Xu Guanchen tried to cheer himself up, trying to get some words out of his mouth.

Talking about the life experience of Eunuch Cheng from a young age, he said: "The family was confiscated and exiled. The servant would have turned eighteen in a few months at that time. He was lucky enough to enter the palace, and he was lucky enough to recognize Eunuch Cheng as his godfather, so others shouted 'Xiao Gonggong '."

Eunuch Cheng used to be the servant of the old emperor. Later, when Xiao Zhi established the king's mansion, the old emperor assigned him to him. When Xu Guanchen lived in the palace, he had some friendship with him.

"Godfather is now guarding the mausoleum of the late emperor in Lishan. He has been guarding the mausoleum for three years, and he has never returned to Beijing during the New Year's Eve."

Xu Guanchen sat halfway, resting his hands on his pillow, holding up the medicine bowl with the other hand, frowning, took a sip, and asked casually, "My illness...is it getting worse?"

Eunuch Xiaocheng hurriedly said, "Don't talk nonsense, little eunuch."

Xu Guanchen remained silent, and drank the medicine one gulp at a time.

"Thinking about it, it's just too early." Eunuch Cheng thought for a while, "It was about that night that His Majesty was tormenting you a little too much."

However, when Eunuch Xiaocheng said this, his face was pure and upright, which made Xu Guanchen's thoughts seem nonsense.His face was red from choking on a mouthful of soup, he lowered his head, trying to bury himself in the medicine bowl.

When Eunuch Xiao Cheng saw his appearance, he also smiled, and turned to get a box of candied fruit, and put it on the low table in front of him: "However, this servant still doesn't understand how your majesty and the little eunuch got together. .”

Xu Guanchen twirled a candied fruit to eat, sighed in his heart, you ask me, I want to ask Xiao Zhi.

Eunuch Xiaocheng asked again: "Is the little eunuch still arguing with His Majesty?"

Xu Guanchen chewed candied fruit with puffed cheeks, and said, "I haven't seen him these few days, and I don't even have a chance to talk to him."

Eunuch Xiao Cheng naturally knew about Xiao Zhi's coming every night, so he didn't say anything in front of Xu Guanchen, just smiled gently.

At this time when Xiao Zhi was mentioned, Xu Guanchen held the medicine bowl and was a little distracted.

He only vaguely remembered that when Xiao Zhi came over, the first thing he would do was to touch his face and test his breathing, as if he was afraid that he would die.But sometimes Xiao Zhi held him in his arms and almost smothered him to death.

Eunuch Xiao Cheng called him: "Young Master?" Xu Guanchen looked up at him, and Eunuch Xiao Cheng coaxed him: "There is one last sip left, Master, please bear with it and finish it."

"...Okay." Xu Guanchen nodded, shook the medicine bowl, raised his head and drank the medicine dregs from the bottom of the bowl.

The last bite was so bitter that his eyes were red, and he eagerly ate the candied fruit.

Eunuch Xiao Cheng picked up the candied fruit box and handed it to him: "My little eunuch used to never quarrel with His Majesty."

It's a pity that Xu Guanchen didn't receive the hint from the other party.

Eunuch Xiao Cheng laughed at himself: "But the little eunuch and His Majesty don't often talk."

Xu Guanchen thought about it, but still didn't speak, waiting for him to continue.

"My little father-in-law is ill. In a month, he spends a few days in the hot spring palace and under the cold pond, rests on the couch for ten days, and meditates behind the screen for the rest of the days."

"Young Lord and His Majesty are in Funing Hall, Younger Lord meditates, His Majesty criticizes, obviously there is only a screen between them, no one talks to anyone all day long."

"Not much to say, how did it happen?"

If you ask me now, I don't know either.Xu Guanchen thought sullenly, if he really didn't say a word and could still write his name with Xiao Zhi's, then it should be——

I like it very much, I like it so much that I can’t like it more, right?

Eunuch Xiaocheng took the opportunity and said: "Your Majesty will come over tonight, will you make peace with Your Majesty, please?"

Xu Guanchen pressed the corner of his lips with a finger stained with candied fruit, lost his thoughts, and nodded again: "Yeah."

Eunuch Xiao Cheng looked at the sky outside the window, wishing that the sky would be completely dark now.

"Does the young man still have evening classes? The slaves are going down to get ready."

"No, no, I'll do it myself." Xu Guanchen sat up, "Go and see Feiyang, in the morning I saw him eating candy with a sugar jar in his arms, so tell him not to eat it."

Xu Guanchen got off the couch, washed his hands, put on his Taoist robe, tied his hair back with a camel bone hairpin, and sat down on the grass futon behind the screen.

There was a new vanilla on the case, Xu Guanchen tied a knot on his hand and started to do evening class.

Recently, when he was meditating, he had to buckle up vanilla to calm his mind.

It's because his morals are still shallow.These few days of meditation, if he didn't do this, his heart and soul would fly to nowhere.

When the joss sticks on the case were burned out, Xu Guanchen opened his eyes.

On the table in front of him are still the vanilla incense burner, the tortoiseshell copper coin, a whisk with faint teeth marks, and a wooden box.

He no longer looked at the whisk, but just opened the box.

Inside the box were tung beads one by one. The rosary beads he tore apart last time, Eunuch Xiao Cheng searched all over Funing Hall and helped him pick them up.

Xu Guanchen counted it twice, and there was still one missing, so he hadn't put it together again.

The tortoise shell and copper coins were supposed to predict the future, but Xu Guanchen didn't even remember the past.

He hadn't made a divination today, so he pursed his lips and picked up the tortoise shell.

Xiao Zhi's voice suddenly came from next to his ear: "What is it, you want to ask Feiyang, Chengde, and divination, why don't you ask me?"
