Minister Gu Ming can't take care of himself

Xu Guanchen lowered his head, thought for a while, and asked softly: "Is there anyone else available in His Highness' hands?"

"No more." Xiao Qi smiled wryly, "Yang Xun and He Zhen are both dead, and you are sick again. I only have nearly a thousand Yanbei bandits under my command, and some of them were borrowed from Yuan Ce."

Xu Guanchen pursed his lips, but was also speechless.

"You take good care of your illness, think about it in the next few days." Xiao Qi still doubted him, but didn't show it on his face, and said with deep meaning, "Xiao Zhi was injured, maybe he won't live for a few more days, just wait and see. "

Xu Guanchen nodded without changing his face, "Okay."

Xiao Qi smiled, raised his hand, paused, and touched his head.

After he left, Yu Qingzi brought the soup and medicine, sat down in front of Xu Guanchen, and asked him in a low voice: "I really don't remember?"

Xu Guanchen raised his head and shook his head: "I don't remember."

Yu Qingzi quickly looked around, and after confirming that there was no one there, he said to him: "Don't believe Xiao Qi, he is not the former Seventh Highness."

Xu Guanchen blinked in a daze, "Master, what are you talking about?"

"It's nothing." Yu Qingzi said, "Just remember what Master said, and leave a little room for yourself in everything."

Xu Guanchen didn't nod or speak, just lowered his head and drank the medicine.

But the one who came to deliver the medicine this evening was Xiaodaotong Xiaowu.

Xu Guanchen felt strange, and asked him a few words, Xiao Daotong secretly wiped his red eyes with the back of his hand, pinched his sleeves and said softly: "The old Taoist is tired and sick because he has been taking care of the little uncle non-stop for the past few days."

Seeing his small movements, Xu Guanchen knew that he was not telling the truth.

Afterwards, Yu Qingzi came to check his pulse again, but just checked his pulse without saying a word.Xiao Qi was also standing beside him, not as if he cared about his condition, but as if he was looking at someone.

After a few more days like this, Xu Guanchen moved from the quiet room to the east courtyard because it was damp and cold and it was not easy to recuperate.

On the first night when he moved to the east courtyard, Xu Guanchen lay on the couch, turned over in a daze, and saw two black shadows kneeling in front of his couch, claiming to be people sent by Xiao Zhi to rescue him, please go away .

In the darkness, Xu Guanchen was about to speak subconsciously, but stopped when he bit the tip of his tongue.

He shook his head to wake himself up, tightened his grip on the quilt, sat up slowly, looked around, and snapped, "What do I have to do with Xiao Zhi? He saved me? What did he do to save me?" I?"

He fumbled and picked up the porcelain pillow on the couch, and with two "bang bang", he smashed a bloody hole in the heads of the two people.

The porcelain pillow was too slippery, and he couldn't hold it firmly, and it fell to the ground and shattered, with another loud bang.

Xiao Qi, dressed neatly, pushed open the door and rushed in, lit the lamp, and saw two people in night clothes covered their heads and fell to the ground, groaning, and the ground was full of broken porcelain.

Xu Guanchen sat on the couch leaning against the wall, seemed a little frightened, and held a vase in his hand, when he saw him coming in, he subconsciously threw the vase away.

The vase hit the wall and broke into hundreds of pieces.

Xu Guanchen pointed to the two people on the ground and said: "Your Highness, Xiao Zhi's people, you can arrest them and ask them."

Xiao Qi looked at the debris all over the floor, then looked at the two people bleeding profusely, and smiled with the corners of his mouth pulled: "You are still so sick, you can beat two with one."

Xu Guanchen scratched his loose hair in embarrassment, smiled at him, and said modestly: "Surprisingly, he performed extraordinary."

Xiao Qi asked people to take these two people down, and asked people to sweep up the broken porcelain on the ground.

He stood in the yard, wiped his face, and told the people below: "Let those two people recover from their injuries, and they don't have to work for a few days."

At that time, Xu Guanchen had a fever and fainted. He really thought that if Xu Guanchen burned out his brain, it would be fine, but he didn't quite believe it, how could it be such a coincidence.

So he tested Xu Guanchen many times in the past few days, testing him inside and outside the words, and specially arranged a play to test him tonight.

Judging from Xu Guanchen's reaction, it really seems to have lost his memory.

At this time Xu Guanchen called out behind him: "Your Highness?"

Xiao Qi turned his head and saw him leaning on the door frame, standing inside the threshold, yawning with his mouth covered: "Your Highness, aren't you going to sleep?" He stopped his yawn and said seriously: "Are you still bothering about Jinling?"

Xiao Qi turned around and approached: "I have two things to tell you, let's sleep in a room tonight."

"Okay." Xu Guanchen turned sideways to let him in.

There are two beds facing each other in the room.Xu Guanchen gave him the bigger bed, and curled up on the small couch to sleep by himself.

After blowing out the lamp, I was speechless for a while.

Xu Guanchen thought for a while, then asked casually: "Why did Xiao Zhi send someone to look for me? Those two people even said they came to save me?"

It was originally Xiao Qi's scene, Xu Guanchen asked him why now, in order to lie, Xiao Qi could only say: "Xiao Zhi likes you, he cares about you, so..."

In the darkness, Xu Guanchen didn't speak, as if he was very surprised.

Xiao Qi asked him again: "A few days ago I asked you what to do now, have you thought of a way?"

Xu Guanchen said sullenly: "Not yet."

"I'll take you to see him tomorrow."

"What did your Highness say?"

Xiao Qi propped up his hands and was about to sit up from the couch, he hurriedly said: "No, don't get me wrong, I didn't give you to him."

There was a smile in Xu Guanchen's tone: "Of course His Highness will not give me to him."

Xiao Qi lay back on the couch again, and said: "Didn't Xiao Zhi get assassinated and poisoned a few days ago? The court has been in chaos these days because of this incident. He doesn't like to stay in the palace and leave the court affairs to the ministers. Tomorrow, I am going to Qiwu Mountain to recuperate, so I have to pass by here."

Xu Guanchen understood: "That's it."

Xiao Qi asked him again: "Have you thought of a solution now?"

"No." Xu Guanchen shook his head, "I'll think about it tomorrow."

……

The next morning, Xiao Qi got up on the spur of the moment and lied to him again: "Guan Chen, you were talking in your sleep last night."

At that time Xu Guanchen was turning his back to him to tie his hair, he was taken aback when he heard the words, bit the tip of his tongue, his tone was still normal: "I dreamed about Grandpa last night."

Xiao Qi stared at his back, felt that there was nothing wrong with him, so he looked away: "Yes, you called 'Grandpa'."

It was really a coincidence that Xu Guanchen didn't know what he said in his sleep and what he said.Similarly, Xiao Qi didn't know what he said.

Both of them guarded against each other, so they just got by.

After breakfast, Xu Guanchen drank the medicine, and then went out with Xiao Qi.

At that time, the guard of honor from Jinling City was passing by the foot of the mountain, and Xu Guanchen was standing on the cliff with the mountain breeze on his sleeves.He held a dust whisk in his hand, and the wind blew up the pony's tail.

He has been in good spirits recently, a little cinnabar red between his eyebrows is rich and gorgeous, but it looks more and more dusty.

The cliff is very high, far away from the team, and covered by tree shadows, only the outline of the team and the carriage in the middle can be seen clearly.

Xu Guanchen stood in a daze, the mountain wind blew up his clothes and sleeves, but did not blow the curtain of the carriage.

Seeing him staring at the carriage and distracted, Xiao Qi remained suspicious and asked, "What are you thinking again?"

Xu Guanchen breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought about what your Highness should do."

He kept watching the guard of honor leave before he looked away, and smiled at Xiao Qi: "I know what should His Highness do when His Highness Fifth is pressing on every step of the way."

The two of them walked on the path between the mountains, and went back to Jingxu to contemplate.

But Xu Guanchen asked him: "Is there anyone else in the court?"

Xiao Qi thought about it, nodded, but didn't say who it was.

"Does Your Highness still remember Emperor Guangzong?"

"remember."

Emperor Guangzong was seven generations of emperors from Xiao Zhi to the last. The deeds of this emperor are quite legendary.

"There are legends in the court and the public that when Guangzong was not enthroned, he was plagued by old illnesses and frail. There is a folk saying that marrying a wife is a blessing, but it is easier to say that there are celestial phenomena in the palace. So Guangzong's father asked Si Tianjian to choose a good day to meet with the court. The minister's daughter combined her horoscope, picked a good day and a good wife for him, and prepared to make him happy."

"It's just that Guangzong's brothers were afraid that after he recovered from his illness, it would be bad for them to win the heir, so they arranged an assassin on the wedding night. The bride blocked Guangzong's knife, and since then she has been plagued by persistent illnesses. On the contrary, Guangzong gradually recovered. "

"After Guangzong came to the throne, he was grateful for his wife's kindness, and made her Empress Mingxian, and specially built a hot spring palace for her to recover from her illness. During the 27 years of Empress Mingxian's life, Guangzong stayed in the palace almost every day."

Xiao Qi smiled: "It's just a folklore, not enough to be believed."

He explained: "Father told me this story before, Guangzong was not sick at first, it's just that some brothers in the court were too sharp, he just kept a low profile."

"The assassin at the time of the big wedding was actually the bride herself. The one who blocked Guangzong's sword was just a little maid. After the assassin was executed, Guangzong was grateful for her kindness, and later liked her, so he took away the family background and identity of Empress Mingxian. Give it to her, keep her with you."

"The little palace lady is strong and strong, and she didn't suffer from her old illness at all, but she didn't like to stay in the palace, so Guangzong built her a hot spring palace, which is the palace on Qiwu Mountain."

Xiao Qi turned to look at him: "What did you think of?"

Xu Guanchen said: "Since your Highness has someone in the court, and Xiao Zhi is still sick, why don't you ask Xiao Zhi to marry a daughter-in-law as well?"

Xiao Qi was startled for a moment, then he thought about it, and there was some truth to it.

"That's right, that's right." Xiao Qi nodded again and again, "After Xiao Zhi was assassinated, the defenses around him have been strengthened. If you still assassinate him in the usual way, I'm afraid it won't work. If it's a big wedding, when there are not many people in the room , maybe. As long as he is dead, everything will be fine."

But Xu Guanchen said: "That's all Guanchen said, the specifics are up to His Highness to decide."

"I know." Xiao Qi nodded, and suddenly said, "Thank you."

"I don't know which woman has this honor." Xu Guanchen flicked his sleeves, "Although Xiao Zhi injured his leg, he is currently sitting in a wheelchair. I'm afraid ordinary women can't hurt him. Is there anyone for His Highness? "

Xiao Qi recalled it at this moment, and felt that it was a little strange that Xu Guanchen said this method.He slowed down, fell behind Xu Guanchen, took a deep look at him, still suspicious of him in his heart.
