Shadow Guard stand-in

After a while, He Jue changed into clean clothes and walked out of the dormitory. His hair was combed by the palace servants. Except for the blackness under his eyes, there was no sign of not returning home all night.

Qi Lezhi was still waiting outside the Nuan Pavilion, when he saw He Jue coming out, he quickly went up to greet him, "Your Majesty just said that, it must be a joke."

He Jue looked at him seriously, "Do you see my portrait?"

Qi Lezhi cried and said, "Your Majesty, don't tease me. You are the king of a country, not an ordinary son. How can your first wife be a man? But even if you are an ordinary son, which old man would choose a man to be the mistress? He is as sensible as my father, and he will definitely break my leg!"

He Jue ignored Qi Lezhi at all, and went straight to the front hall. Along the way, he ordered Zhang Fu to pass on meals, because he was very hungry.

Qi Lezhi followed He Jue's pace and continued to whisper in his ear: "Your Majesty, no matter how much you like Mr. Yingwei, you can't ignore the ministers of the previous court. You know Mr. Qin's talkativeness and tough temper. Is it something that a minister can provoke? What's more, do you want to be the crown prince?"

He Jue didn't listen to the first words, but paid attention to the last sentence, "So as long as there is a prince, it will be much easier to appoint Jin Jiuye as the queen. Lezhi, is that what you mean?"

"No! Your Majesty, I don't mean that!" Qi Lezhi couldn't argue with it, and He Jue chuckled, as if he took it seriously.

Qi Lezhi thought that if his father knew that he had come up with a bad idea, he might break his leg, so he quickly persuaded him: "Even if you want to establish a crown prince, your majesty can't find a suitable child in this clan. , How many people were involved in the chaos of the five kings back then, only one eldest princess was left in the close blood, and the eldest princess only had one daughter..."

Speaking of this, He Jue's eyes lit up, "Then Lezhi, you have to work hard. Speaking of which, Ayao is my cousin, and your son is my nephew, so they are close blood. Work harder and help me have a baby." My son, I place my hopes on you!"

He Jue patted Qi Lezhi's shoulder, Qi Lezhi's legs went limp, and he suddenly felt a little pain in his kidneys.

"Your Majesty, don't make fun of me. How can I live up to Your Majesty's expectations? Besides, how easy is it to have a child?"

"Hey, is old Qi Ge urging you to have a baby at home?" He Jue asked curiously.

"That's not true." Qi Lezhi didn't admit it, he felt that he had dug a hole for himself, and quickly brought the topic back to Jin Jiuye, "Your Majesty, if you think about it carefully, if you give up your children for the sake of Lord Shadow Guard, Even if there is a crown prince, I am afraid that people in the world will have a lot of resentment towards the Lord Shadow Guard, and the reputation of the Lord Shadow Guard is so plainly affected, the gain outweighs the loss!"

"Do you think Jin Jiuye's reputation is still good now?" He Jue asked suddenly, his expression became more dignified after he ignored the joke just now.

"This..." Qi Lezhi was speechless.

They all know that Jin Jiuye is a god of killing in the eyes of most people. If he hadn't been in frequent contact, people like Zhang Fu and others would be scared to the knees if they saw him from a distance.They only thought that Jin Jiuye could eat human flesh and drink human blood, was cruel and cruel, would kill people if he disagreed with him, and wring a child's neck if he was in a bad mood.

This is the Jin Jiuye in people's eyes. His reputation has never been good. While relying on his ability, he is also afraid of him. Apart from his fear, he also implies contempt.But in fact, he is the son of General Zhen Guo.

Thinking of this, He Jue didn't ask any more questions, and stepped into the Hall of Qinzheng with a cold face.

He went to the dining table, and the two young palace servants served the dishes, the room was silent, Qi Lezhi stepped on the door, it didn't matter whether he entered or not.

"Come in." He Jue greeted Qi Lezhi, "What else can I do?"

Qi Lezhi didn't serve the dinner table, but stood aside, and said: "The most important thing now is the Northern Qi's Wolf Smoke Cavalry. There is news from the Ma Xianshou that the Yushi Pass is not safe. I'm afraid Lang Xiao said it out of ten. Nine are true."

"I know." He Jue rolled his eyelids and looked at Qi Lezhi coolly, "I'm not so dazed that I don't care about government affairs."

Qi Le's face froze, and he muttered in a low voice: "You're going to be a male queen, aren't you stupid enough? It's just that silly shadow guard who will follow you, and replace me..."

"How about you?" He Jue heard Qi Lezhi's words, "I don't want to change you."

How could you think that you liked this guy at the beginning? He is stubborn and idiot, and he keeps nagging on and on about nothing.

Or his little shadow guard is the best, let him touch and kiss, can be used as a warming stove in winter, and won't miss you if you are hungry and steal the imperial dining room.Even eating with him, I can eat two more bowls in a better mood. The white rice feels sweet. Without him, I have no appetite for the delicacies in front of me.

He Jue sighed, and gave Qi Le an annoyed sideways glance.

Qi Le touched his face subconsciously, is he ugly? When did His Majesty despise him to such an extent?

Before he could figure it out, He Jue put down his chopsticks, "Forget it, take them all away."

Qi Lezhi was even more surprised, "Your Majesty should use some more."

He Jue waved his hand and insisted to let the palace people withdraw, Qi Lezhi looked at the other party's face, "What's wrong, Your Majesty?"

He Jue sighed, stood up, walked to the door, looked at the sunlight outside, "It's only been a few hours, and I've started to miss him."

Qi Lezhi: "..."

Tsk, he shouldn't have asked, his teeth are almost sour.

"Your Majesty, let's think about how to deal with the absence of today's court meeting. All the courtiers are waiting for your explanation."

He Jue sneered coldly: "I have been on the throne for four or five years, and I have never missed a day in the morning. It is fine if I don't praise my diligence on weekdays, but I missed it once, and they are arguing and wanting to explain? Who is the king? Are they ministers? They want to be virtuous ministers, heh, I will be a foolish ruler today!"

Qi Lezhi was horrified when he heard that, and almost knelt down to beg for orders. At least he saw that He Jue was not really angry, so he persuaded him: "Your Majesty, it was you who suddenly disappeared, which made the courtiers worry."

He Jue listened coldly. After a long while, he vented his anger, "What do you want to say? You can't get up after drinking too much at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. You can explain it for me tomorrow."

"Your Majesty, you have just given me a difficult problem, and here is another one. Do you want me to live?" Qi Lezhi immediately yelled aggrieved.

"Oh, are you planning to help me solve the issue of the male queen? That's fine, tomorrow I will explain it to the ministers myself."

"No..." Qi Lezhi was surprised by He Jue's thick skin, and pulled a smiley face, "So what His Majesty said just now was just joking, uh... I think about it, why don't I do it for you tomorrow?" Explain to the courtiers, as for the male empress, just pretend that His Majesty has never told the courtiers."

"That's fine, you can explain." He Jue quickly nodded in agreement, and Qi Lezhi breathed a sigh of relief, who would have said next sentence, "When you finish explaining, I will tell you what the book boy said tomorrow." once again..."

"He Xiaoliu! Don't bring such tricksters!" Qi Lezhi couldn't help being irritable anymore.

He Jue finally smiled, "So it's fun to bully you."

Qi Lezhi stared at He Jue with a grunt, and He Jue yawned, "I'm sleepy, I've been chasing someone all night without stopping, go back to sleep, you should hurry down."

Come to have a good breath with His Majesty, who would have thought that he would be brought back with a whole lot of errands and a lot of lawsuits, Qi Lezhi felt that he was the hard worker that He Jue wanted.

The monarch's attitude towards him has changed, he is no longer a classmate friend from before, let alone a brotherly love!It's oppression, it's bullying!I still want him to help give birth to a son, so get out!

The young talented man who was always elegant and elegant at a young age was mad by anger. He kept mumbling all the way back home, cursing His Majesty in a low voice with all kinds of uncommon and appropriate words.

Coincidentally, as soon as he entered the gate of the mansion, Princess Zhao's personal nanny came up to announce the congratulations: "Congratulations, uncle, congratulations, uncle!"

"What's the matter?" Qi Lezhi asked coldly.

The nanny smiled, "The princess has been pregnant for more than a month, and she just saw the doctor for a diagnosis."

Qi Lezhi was overjoyed at first, "Really?"

He almost jumped up with the porter boy in his arms, but after a while, his face darkened.

I don't know if this baby can be his son yet.Damn He Xiaoliu is a black-hearted human trafficker!

When He Jue woke up, it was evening, and only the afterglow of the setting sun could be seen. Zhang Fu had prepared meals and kept them warm, so that His Majesty would be able to use them when he woke up.

However, after He Jue ate half a bowl, he was taken away again, looking eagerly at the sky outside, not knowing what he was looking at.

The next day, Jin Jiuye did not come back.He Jue went to court, held a cabinet meeting, and dealt with a pile of backlogs, and then assigned them to the internal office for distribution.Work and rest are the same as usual, but the meals are less, and he stands on the highest point of Qinzheng Hall anxiously, watching the sunset for a while.

What's the matter, Zhang Fu couldn't help worrying, for fear that something happened to His Majesty secretly, or he fell ill.

Those who serve the king have sharp eyes and sharp ears, and they must be aware of what should be noticed immediately, otherwise they will not be able to bear anything.So Zhang Fu secretly went to Su Huichun in the Xuntai Hospital, and told the other party the symptoms of His Majesty's lack of food and sleep today. It’s okay to drink and eat in moderation, but not too much.”

"Okay, then I'll call the imperial dining room for a change."

Zhang Fu got a solution, and changed the imperial dining room three or four ways the next day, but His Majesty was still not interested, the old palace man suddenly started to feel drummed, and went to find Su Huichun again.

"How about I go ask for Ping'an's pulse and see what's going on with His Majesty?" Su Huichun took the opportunity to check He Jue's pulse, and when he came out, he shook his head at Zhang Fu, and the two loyal courtiers felt worried.

"Your Majesty is in good health. Could it be that he has a heart disease?" Zhang Fu guessed.

Su Huichun was not sure, if he could cure any difficult and miscellaneous diseases, he would do it, but heart disease, except heart medicine, who can cure it.

"It's up to you to keep your mouth open, why don't you ask His Majesty what's going on, otherwise, what should you do if you're so ungrateful?"

Since there was nothing the hospital could do, Zhang Fu had no choice but to bite the bullet and do it himself.In the evening of this day, He Jue went out for a while according to the habit of the previous few days. The old palace man followed and followed His Majesty to watch for a long time before he could speak: "What is Your Majesty looking at?"

He Jue didn't answer, he was standing quite high, and he could still see the palace road outside the Taihe Gate.

Few people go to the peaceful palace road, because it is very close to the imperial road of Taiji Hall, probably because of the strict palace rules, except for the patrolling Habayashi guards, even the palace people rarely stay.However, the small side door on the side of the Supreme Harmony Gate is connected to the former cabinet, the Zhongshushe, the internal affairs office, the House of Internal Affairs, the Xuanyi Department and other places, and small officials or ministers pass by from time to time.

There was a clatter of horseshoes, and a man in black was sitting on the fast horse, leading a team of more than a dozen people at a fast speed.

He got off his horse when he passed the Taihe Gate, and then headed all the way to Xuanyi Division. He Jue could see clearly from a height that it was the familiar man who had returned.

"Your Majesty, where are you going?" Zhang Fu didn't pay attention, and saw He Jue running away. He hurried to follow, and heard His Majesty say, "Let the imperial dining room prepare a large pot of braised pork and braised pig's trotters. Together with the daily dishes, send them to Xuanyi Division."

"Here, it's not time for dinner yet?" Zhang Fu wondered, when he heard He Jue ecstatic, "My Lord Shadow Guard is back."

The experienced old palace man finally understood at this moment, what kind of illness His Majesty has suffered these past few days, isn't it just lovesickness.

Waiting in the Hall of Qinzheng every day is almost like a husband-watching stone.

God is so pitiful, Lord Yingwei has come back, the old palace man who realized it late almost wiped his old tears, and hastily went to order the imperial dining room.

Braised pork and trotters are the most important.No appetite, that's bullshit, it's just that the people eating with you are wrong.
