From Changyang Palace back to his own palace, it took Yu Ke more than twice as much time as usual for the short journey.

He knelt in the rain all night, his legs were unbearably sore and numb. Although he was holding on, he was limping when he walked, and he refused to let anyone help him. He walked forward slowly. Smiling, eyes inexplicably bright.

Song Shuangcheng couldn't stand it anymore: "Your Majesty, can I help you?"

Yu Ke said: "No need."

Song Shuangcheng had no choice, sighed, and followed behind him.

After finally walking into the hall, Song Shuangcheng hurriedly supported Yu Ke to sit down, and said to the maid: "Go and call the imperial physician!"

Yu Ke raised his hand to stop him, thought of something, put down his hand again, squeezed his knee, and muttered: "Let's see, you can't ride a horse with your brother if you are lame."

Song Shuangcheng was close, and when he heard this, he couldn't laugh or cry: "Your Majesty's dragon body is the most important thing, and the national teacher certainly doesn't want you to think too much."

Under the service of the palace attendant, Yu Ke changed into clean clothes, his face was still pale, but he was completely gone from the madness and fragility he had in front of Chu Tang last night, making it impossible to see his emotions.

He was young and hot, and he didn't feel anything wrong after being exposed to the rain all night, but he was a little tired and wanted to sleep with Chu Tang in his arms.

No, it is enough for him to look at Chu Tang.If Chu Tang is willing to calm down, it would be better to allow him to kneel in the bedroom.

In order to avoid mistakes, Yu Ke still obediently sat on the couch, talking to Song Shuangcheng while waiting for the imperial physician.

The imperial physician quickly came over with the medicine box, carefully examined Yu Ke's knee, and said, "Your Majesty, the dragon is in good health, and there is nothing serious about it. It's just that you have been sitting for a long time, and your muscles and blood are stiff. If you don't pay attention, you will leave The sequelae should not be underestimated. Your Majesty must not exercise strenuously these days, pay attention to keep warm and prevent cold, the old minister will prescribe a few medicines, and His Majesty will take it on time and change the medicine."

Yu Ke nodded.

After the imperial physician left, Song Shuangcheng asked, "Can Your Majesty tell you what happened last night?"

Along the way, he thought about it seriously, Chu Tang's temperament, he would not lose his temper with the emperor because of a dancing girl, and the emperor seemed extremely remorseful, it didn't seem like a trivial matter.

He was afraid that the two pillars of Yu Bei would turn their faces if they disagreed, so he asked too much.

Yu Ke shook his head: "It's not a big deal."

Song Shuangcheng pondered for a moment, and said: "Rong Chen dares to say that the national teacher has devoted himself to Yu Bei for more than ten years, and is loyal to His Majesty. The world can learn from him. Even if the national teacher is angry and punishes His Majesty, it must be for His Majesty." OK."

For a general to defend a minister in such a way in front of the emperor, ordinary high-ranking people should suspect that the two of them have colluded.

But the meaning of Chu Tang and Song Shuangcheng to Yu Ke is by no means as simple as that of ordinary courtiers.

Chu Tang needless to say.His importance to Yu Ke cannot be exhausted in one day and one night.

And more than ten years ago, Song Shuangcheng was also the one who ventured into the enemy army to rescue him, and he was loyal to him and Yu Beiya, and he saw it in his eyes.

Yu Ke smiled and said: "I know. So I sincerely beg the national teacher to calm down, and the general doesn't have to worry."

Song Shuangcheng heaved a sigh of relief.

He was afraid that Yu Ke would put down his face and admit his mistakes and beg for forgiveness, but instead of getting angry, it would be bad.

Hearing what he said, he thought, although His Majesty is young and vigorous, but after all he grew up with Master Chu.

However, at the next moment, Yu Ke asked casually: "By the way, the general hasn't told me yet, how do you know that the person Qimeng saved that night was the national teacher?"

Song Shuangcheng was asked about this by Chu Tang just now, and now Yu Ke asked again, his back was sweating from the cold.Looking at the emperor's curious eyes, he stuttered and couldn't speak: "This..."

Yu Ke casually rubbed his knees, and said in a low voice, "Did the national teacher tell you?"

Song Shuangcheng was shocked, and immediately denied: "No!"

After finishing speaking, seeing the emperor's brows slowly loosening, he himself admired himself for being so decisive!

For more than ten years, he stayed beside the two of them, knowing that the little emperor is not usually possessive of the national teacher - if he just denied it a little too late, it is difficult to guarantee that the emperor would not really think that the national teacher told him Yes, then the emperor will not be jealous.

Fortunately he saved his head.

Yu Ke said kindly: "Then what can't you say?"

Song Shuangcheng could only answer truthfully: "It's because I accidentally saw the face of the national teacher."

"That's it," Yu Ke said kindly, "but didn't the national teacher stay in Mingyue Temple all the time before? How did the general recognize him? Could it be that you two had friendship a long time ago?"

Song Shuangcheng said honestly: "Return to Your Majesty, I have seen the portrait of the national teacher in the imperial study."

Yu Ke frowned: "Portrait?"

Song Shuangcheng asked strangely: "Your Majesty hasn't seen it? Maybe it was left by the painter in the palace in the past."

Yu Ke nodded, his eyes were dim, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Just when Song Shuangcheng thought everything was going well, Yu Ke said again: "But why didn't the general confess to me before?"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Song Shuangcheng was dripping with cold sweat, "I swear to God, I have absolutely no intention of doing anything wrong!"

Yu Ke smiled and said, "I'm not suspicious of the general, but just curious."

Song Shuangcheng had no choice but to say: "When the national teacher came back, His Majesty was still young, Yu Bei was caught in a storm, and the officials were scattered, eyeing the national teacher. In order to avoid causing trouble, so the minister hid what happened that night. I also have the same worry, so I let the minister not mention it. It is the fault of the minister for not confessing to His Majesty."

"Then why didn't you say it casually until you were in Luohou City?" Yu Ke said calmly, "Aren't there many opportunities in the capital?"

Song Shuangcheng said: "Your Majesty and the national teacher have always had a close relationship between teachers and students. I thought the national teacher had already told your majesty, so I didn't mention it again."

At this point, Yu Ke wanted to understand, in fact, he should have understood a long time ago.

——The initiative has always been with Chu Tang, if he doesn't want to say it, Yu Ke won't know.Obviously speaking out can directly win over the young emperor, but Chu Tang just doesn't say it.

Yu Ke thought mockingly, with Chu Tang's temperament, he just didn't want to admit it, and didn't want to have anything to do with him.Because if he knew about this, he would only cling to Chu Tang even more.

He smiled, and the color of his lips that had warmed up just now turned cold again: "I'm a little tired, the general should step down."

"Your Majesty rest at ease, and I will leave."

The palace attendant opened the ground dragon and withdrew.In the palace with only one person, the earth dragon was quietly burning, and it was extremely warm.

He didn't sleep all night, logically he should be very tired, but Yu Ke opened his eyes and couldn't fall asleep no matter what.

He lay on the dragon bed, covered his body with a soft quilt, and quickly warmed up, warming his bones after being icy all night.

But his heart is still cold.

What Song Shuangcheng said just now echoed in his ears, he said that Chu Tang told him not to mention it.If it hadn't been exposed in Luohou City, would they still be able to hide it for a lifetime, so that he would never forget that savior for the rest of his life?

Yu Ke thought to himself, the national teacher is really indifferent, and he would sacrifice his life to save others without leaving a name.He even wondered if Chu Tang had no plans to stay in Yu Bei forever, so he hid it like this.

But isn't Chu Tang Yu Bei's national teacher?He will definitely stay in Yu Bei.

Yu Ke turned over with difficulty, being careful not to touch his knee that was covered with medicine, but the dense stinging pain still came up, just like his heart.

No, it can't be like this.Yu Ke shook his head.He still has things to do later, and he still has something to say to Chu Tang, he can't go on complaining about himself like this, he must have a good rest, and he can't go to see Chu Tang with such a ghostly appearance.

He took a deep breath and hugged the quilt, imagining that he was still in Chutang's mansion, just like when he was a child, he would hug the quilt and sleep when he was wronged, and when he woke up, he could go to Chutang's room to act like a baby.

Although Chu Tang rejected him, he always knew that Chu Tang didn't like him, so he wasn't very sad.He was just sad that he had made Chu Tang so angry.

Yu Ke closed his eyes.

But... But anyway, it was Chu Tang who woke him up, so it must be that he feels sorry for him a little bit, right?

……

In the evening, it was sunny after the rain, and the sunset glow was red.

When Yu Ke stepped into Changyang Palace, the eunuch was about to shout, "Your Majesty—"

Yu Ke stopped him, and the eunuch said respectfully, "What orders does Your Majesty have?"

Yu Ke's handsome brows were calm, and he said calmly: "Go and report to the national teacher, saying that I want to see you."

The eunuch was so frightened that his knees gave way, he managed to calm down, and said in a trembling voice: "Yes, yes, this servant obeys."

He bent down and walked into the inner door. Before seeing the national teacher, Xu Shiwei came out and said with a cold face: "The national teacher said he didn't see him."

The eunuch's legs trembled: "The servant obeys."

After hearing the eunuch's trembling words, Yu Ke's face was stunned, but he didn't say anything, just nodded, then turned and left.

The white window paper reflects the figure of leaving.

Xu Yi lowered his eyes, turned around and went into the study in the inner room, and said: "Master, Your Majesty has gone back."

Chu Tang gave a faint "hmm".

Xu Yi looked up at his indifferent face, and retreated silently.

……

The next morning, it was drizzling.

Yu Ke came again, standing at the door, the rain came in, the palace servants held umbrellas, and carefully opened umbrellas for the emperor.Behind him was a guard, holding a pile of memorials in his hands.

The eunuch at the door greeted him: "Your Majesty, Wanan."

Yu Ke said lightly: "Go and tell the national teacher that I have something to discuss with the national teacher."

The eunuch pretended not to see his slightly clenched fist, and went in tremblingly.

Standing in front of the inner door, Guard Xu held his sword and shook his head at him.

The eunuch didn't dare to tell him the pain in his heart, so he could only nod repeatedly, saying "I understand, I understand", and after going out, he said with a mournful face: "Your Majesty, the national teacher has rested, please come back another day."

Fortunately, the gloomy-looking emperor was not angry, and just pursed his lower lip before walking into the wind and rain, the corners of his clothes were soaked.

The guards holding the memorial also hurriedly followed.

……

a few days later.

Autumn is getting stronger, and the rain that has been raining for several days has finally stopped, but the rain in Yu Ke's heart has been pattering continuously.

The officials below saw that the emperor was always depressed, scratching their heads, but they couldn't think of a way to please the emperor, so they had to wait carefully, for fear of causing trouble to the upper body.

Yu Ke was the same, his head was going bald from scratching, but he couldn't see Chu Tang at all, and his heart was so depressed that it was broken into several petals, shattered on the ground, and dried into slag.

In the study, Yu Ke propped his head, barely finished a pile of memorials, and leaned against the back of the chair somewhat dejectedly.

Someone came to tell the legend: "Report to the emperor, Master Yang is asking to see you."

Yu Ke sat up straight, his eyes turned cold, and he said, "Xuan."

When Lord Yang came in, he saw the emperor's icy expression, and his heart trembled: "Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Yu Ke said: "It's you, what's the matter?"

He remembered that this person had offended Chu Tang with those frivolous poems.

"Please remember, Your Majesty, I'm terrified." Lord Yang hesitated a few times, and smiled flatteringly, "I don't know how the people served that night, but is Your Majesty still happy?"

"Who?" Yu Ke asked.

Master Yang said: "It's just...the girls in those gardens..."

With a "snap", the Motai fell to the ground.

Master Yang thumped and knelt on the ground: "The emperor calm down!"

Yu Ke's tone was stiff: "Is it the person you sent?"

"Yes, it's my minister," Master Yang turned his head, "but the national teacher and the national teacher also allow it."

"Get out!" Yu Ke gritted his teeth and said coldly.

Master Yang went out shaking his knees.

Yu Ke was filled with hatred, anger, anxiety, and a bit of annoyance.

Chu Tang...wasn't Chu Tang sending him?Then why didn't he deny it?

He always does this!He just knows how to be a good courtier, he will not give him random people, he will not intervene in any of his personal affairs, and he will not be angry when he is wronged, what a perfect person.

But it was precisely because of this that Yu Ke was annoyed.

Chu Tang just didn't want to share any personal feelings with him.To Chu Tang, he was just a king, an ignorant child.

Chu Tang only needs to move his fingers, and he will wag his tail and willingly move towards him—but Chu Tang has never shown any emotion towards him from the beginning to the end.

Yu Ke buried his head in his arms, the side of his head throbbing violently.

Then he chose this time to confess impulsively, was he wrong?
