Minister Gu Ming can't take care of himself

When Xu Guanchen heard Xiao Qi's words, he quickly jumped up from the couch, before he could stand still, his eyes went dark, and he sat back on the couch again.

He rubbed the center of his eyebrows, only to feel that his forehead was very hot, and his hands and feet were sweating.

It happened to be this time.

After the cold, there is the fever. He had the cold last night, but it happened at this time that he had the fever.

Xu Guanchen shook his head, his eyes were still dark and he couldn't see anything clearly.

His whole body was hot, and it was cool in this cave, even a little cold, but his forehead was already covered with beads of sweat.

I don't know if it was his hallucination, but he seemed to hear the faint sound of horseshoes and weapons clashing outside.

In fact, it should be an illusion.The cave where he lived was very thick, and the sound could not be transmitted inside.

But he didn't have time to think about it, he stood up reluctantly, and took two steps forward groping.

Xiao Qi took a few steps forward, put his hands on his shoulders, and pushed him back onto the couch.

Xu Guanchen panted heavily, coughed twice, and vomited up blood again.

"Why are you vomiting blood all the time?" Xiao Qi whispered.

Xu Guanchen gritted his teeth and pushed him twice.

"Wait a while, when Xiao Zhi's people leave, ask Xiao Wu to make medicine for you." Xiao Qi took out a bright red pill from his sleeve and fed it to him, "You'd better hope that Xiao Zhi's people let's go."

Xu Guanchen clenched his teeth, unwilling to let go.

Xiao Qi pinched his chin and said: "If you do this again, your chin will be removed. Take your medicine obediently."

He put the pill into Xu Guanchen's mouth, and he bit his finger hard.

The tooth marks on the fingers were deep, and blood soon came out.Xiao Qi glanced at it, then wiped the blood on Xu Guanchen's cheek.

Xu Guanchen was sick and really had no intention of entangled with Xiao Qi, he pushed him away with the last bit of strength, stepped back, hugged his knees, and leaned against the stone wall to breathe.

Xiao Zhi's people are outside, this is the closest time, the best chance, he has to find a way to pass the news that he is here, so Xu Guanchen bit the tip of his tongue, not daring to fall asleep like last time.

The stone wall was very cold, and he leaned against it to recover a little.

Xu Guanchen breathed out a few more breaths, thinking that Xiao Zhi's people should still be outside, he put his hands behind his back, and tapped the stone wall with his knuckles.

The sound probably couldn't get out.Xu Guanchen coughed twice, before he had time to shout, Xiao Qi discovered his intention, afraid that he would call someone over, he would grab his neck as soon as he raised his hand.

Xiao Qi lowered his voice and said: "You don't understand the reason why the king collapsed and the minister died. You are my Minister Gu Ming. If Xiao Zhi's people come over, Yang Xun, He Zhen and my grandfather are already below, just wait is you."

Xu Guanchen was strangled by him, and he didn't even have the strength to raise his hand. The back of his head leaned against the stone wall, unable to breathe, and unconsciously shed two lines of tears.

Xu Wen, who had been standing on the side without saying a word, secretly pointed his hand back, Xiao Qi only felt the sudden pain in the hand pinching Xu Guanchen, so he let go of him.

Xu Guanchen was still sick, he didn't know if he pinched him, or he had a fever, he fell on the couch, his cheeks and the end of his eyes were red.

Fearing that he would play tricks again, Xiao Qi tore off his sleeves casually, and pulled them into a long strip of cloth.A long strip of cloth was wrapped around the back of his head and bound his mouth. The tightness of the cloth strip made the corners of his mouth red.

In fact, it doesn't need to be so troublesome, Xu Guanchen was already sick and couldn't stand the trouble.At this moment, she was lying on the couch with tears dripping on the pillow, even her breathing was very light, how could there be any sound?

Holding it in the palm of his hand, Xiao Zhi carefully took care of the patient for three years, and Xiao Qi held it under his hands just like that.

Xu Guanchen was in a trance, his eyes were still dark, his ears were all quiet, and he couldn't hear any more sounds.

In the chaos, suddenly a thought flashed by, why not go to parents and grandpa to make decisions.He probably couldn't hold it anymore, what Xiao Qi, what Yuan Ce, let grandpa help him, let grandpa drive these people away with a long knife.And he, he just needs to hide behind Grandpa

After that, don't worry about anything.

He doesn't want to be here much anymore.

This thought was only for a moment.

It's really dead, leaving a huge Dingguo Duke's mansion, and a new Duke has not yet been appointed. Xu Yue is alone in the mansion, and I am afraid that he will not be able to stop those relatives with ulterior motives.

There is also the elder brother who was made into a martial puppet, and the master is still here, and the master is so old, he can't be left alone.Feiyang's temperament is unstable, he might go crazy, his good uncle Pei, Xiao Jue, and his family might cry to death for him.

The most important thing is Xiao Zhi, Xiao Zhi is crazy and fierce, he is going to die, making Xiao Zhi a widower, I'm afraid it will make Xiao Zhi angry for several years.

I don't know how long it took before someone untied the cloth strip tied around his mouth, gently pushed away his clenched fist, helped him loosen his clothes, supported him, and made him lie flat on the couch. Then cover him with a blanket.

The man grabbed his wrist and checked his pulse.

It turned out to be Master.

Xu Guanchen wanted to cry on his master's shoulder for a while, but he didn't have the strength.

He was always like this. When he was sick, he felt uncomfortable and wanted to cry, but he had no energy. After he got well, he was too tired to cope with everything, so he forgot.

Xu Guanchen actually felt it, knowing that he was still in the quiet room, Xiao Zhi's people did not find him in the Taoist temple.

Yu Qingzi was sitting on the side of the couch to check his pulse, and when he looked up, he saw that his brows were frowning and he was not sleeping peacefully, so he raised his hand to smooth the center of his brows.

At that time Xiao Qi was not there, only Xiaodaotong Xiaowu and the puppet Xu Wen were there, Xiaodaotong's face was full of nervousness, he stared at Xu Guanchen closely, for fear that something would happen to him.The Wu puppet Xu Wen was expressionless, with his hands behind his back, but he didn't even dare to look at him more.

I don't know if it was Yu Qingzi's intention or not, but while feeling Xu Guanchen's pulse, he said: "He hasn't had a good life these years."

Of course Xu Wen knew that Xu Guanchen was not doing well. Everyone in the family had gone except for his grandfather, who was also old. He also left in a few years. He was left alone, and no one taught him how to do it. The government is on its shoulders.

These days, Xu Wen often thought, if he could be by Xu Guanchen's side, even if his parents and uncles were not around, as long as he took over the father-in-law's position, would things be different?

……

Because Xu Guanchen had been missing for several days, Xiao Zhi felt uncomfortable, and the atmosphere in Funing Hall was extremely cold.The palace people did not dare to talk and laugh presumptuously, and even kept their voices extremely low.

The lamps were not lit much at night, but candles were lit on Xiao Zhi's case for him to read the booklets, and palace lanterns were lit where necessary.The entire Funing Palace was gloomy, not quite like a resplendent palace.

Later, Uncle Pei and Xiao Jue came over.

Because of Xu Guanchen's matter, the two of them postponed the matter at hand, even Xiao Jue's matter of overturning Chen Zhou's case, they also postponed it.

Xiao Zhi closed the booklet casually, rubbed the bridge of his nose, got up and went to the side hall to meet them.

In summer, the doors and windows of the side hall were left open, and after seeing the ceremony, the three of them sat in the porch under the eaves and talked.

Xiao Zhi leaned against the desk, propped his head, and said nothing.

Uncle Pei said: "We have almost searched the area of ​​Qiwu Mountain, but found nothing. I am afraid that the people below did not search effectively. Your Majesty, should we search again from the city?"

Xiao Zhi nodded in agreement.

Xiao Juedao: "Feiyang has been following Yuan Ce for the past few days. Yuan Ce burned his hand in Fengyue Tower last time, and he just stayed in the post to recover from his injuries. He didn't see him go out. By the way, he said that the literati Zhiwei beside him was killed. Burned to death, but I don’t see him sad. The guard with the mask next to him has disappeared these days. I pretended to ask him casually, and he said that the guard went to the northwest first to find the way for him. I thought, these two people should be unusual."

Xiao Zhi knew in his heart that one of the guards and Zhiwei was probably Xiao Qi.The only blame is that I didn't take more precautions at the time, which made me like this.

Xiao Jue said again: "These days, Yen Ce is packing up his things and is about to leave. Did Your Majesty read the brochure sent by Mr. Xu?"

Xiao Zhi's voice was hoarse and deep: "Which Master Xu?"

"It's Mr. Xu who accompanied me to Tingyun Town to welcome Yuan Ce. It seems that His Majesty didn't read his notes." Xiao Jue said, "Yuan Ce is leaving, and he wants His Majesty to send him off, saying that it has something to do with the state. .Actually, I thought, there should be no such reason, Yuan Ce is a prince, and his status is still far from His Majesty's."

Xiao Zhi's eyebrows twitched, and he raised his eyebrows: "Where to send it?"

"Ten miles outside the city gate."

He held his forehead and smiled twice.

General Pei understood, and only said: "Is there something wrong with this Xu?"

"He wants me to deliver it, so I will deliver it." Xiao Zhi thought for a while, "You two don't need to worry about how to deliver it when the time comes, just keep looking for someone, and the guards will accompany you that day, and let that Mr. Xu push someone to do it. .”

"Your Majesty wants to use all the tricks? It's just..." General Pei said, "Isn't it a bit too risky? What if..."

"It's okay." Xiao Zhi waved his hands, stood up, and walked alone into the dimly lit main hall of Funing Hall.

……

On March [-]th, Yuan Ce set off to return to the capital.

In the Palace of Funing, Xiao Zhi put on the soft armor, fastened the wrist armor, wrapped the soft sword around his waist, and finally put on the heavy dress robe outside.

It's been almost half a month since Xu Guanchen disappeared, and the people sent to look for him found nothing.

Xiao Zhi had no choice, if this matter was related to Yuan Ce, and that Mr. Xu was also related to this matter, and they asked him to send Yuan Ce, he could only follow his plan and go through with this.

Eunuch Xiao Cheng came in with his head down to invite, the holy carriage was waiting outside the hall, Xiao Zhi walked down the steps step by step, but instead of riding in the carriage, got on the horse.

……

The last time Xu Guanchen fell ill, he was tossed and tossed by Xiao Qi like that, he had been raised for almost half a month and he still hadn't healed well, he was lying on the couch listlessly, taking medicine and vomiting blood all day long, repeatedly.

Today Xiao Daotong came in with a taoist robe the color of green plums, put it on the side of the couch, and gently pushed him twice: "Little Martial Uncle, Senior Brother said, let Junior Martial Uncle change clothes, he wants to take Little Martial Uncle out for a while .”

Xu Guanchen was in a trance, only knowing that he had stayed in the quiet room for so long, and it was an opportunity to go out, so he reluctantly got up, Xiao Daotong helped him, and changed his clothes.

Later, when Xiao Qi came in, he still strangled his mouth with cloth strips, fastened a hat on him, covered his face with the wide eaves of the hat, and then pulled up the shackles on his wrists, and led him away. go out.

He has not seen the sun for more than ten days.Wearing a bamboo hat, the sun does not shine on the face, but only on the back of the hand.

Light and shadow flow in the forest.

Xiao Qi pulled the shackles and took him into the carriage.
