Lu Wenyuan was startled, turned his head to look at the place where the voice came from, and saw that it was a team of brocade guards patrolling the night, who were coming at him with a sword, and the leader shouted: "Who is sneaking around there?"

Lu Wenyuan took a step out of the shadows and said, "It's me and the prefect talking here, don't panic." ”

The brocade guards gathered around, and the first one hurriedly glanced at Lu Wenyuan and Xia Kang, and hurriedly knelt down on one knee and said, "The lower officials mistakenly regarded the two adults as thieves, and I hope the two adults will forgive their sins." ”

Lu Wenyuan said: "It's okay. You deserve to be commended for being so alert at night. Leaning over and picking up the brocade guard.

The brocade guard lowered his eyebrows, most of his face was hidden in the shadows, but he was very respectful, hugged his fist at Lu Wenyuan, and just wanted to greet the team, but heard another person in the distance raise his voice: "What happened over there?"

This person's voice was very familiar, Lu Wenyuan and the brocade guard looked at each other, and sure enough, they saw Zhu Shiji, the king of Kangping, coming from a distance, he was wearing a brocade robe with dark cloud patterns and silver edges, and he looked more and more long and majestic in the night.

When the brocade guards saw the prince coming, they all knelt down again. Zhu Shiji arrived, glanced around suspiciously, pulled Lu Wenyuan and said, "What's the matter?

Lu Wenyuan knew that he thought he had been attacked by thieves, and explained: "No, it was a misunderstanding. I and Lord Xia came here to talk, maybe I was too hidden, and I was mistaken for a mischief by the brocade guards who patrolled the night. ”

Zhu Shiji said: "That's fine." This king is here to visit the big Wan Qing horse, that horse has recently suffered from night terrors, this king is always a little relieved, who knows that he has not yet arrived but heard you here noise, so he hurried over to see. ”

Lu Wenyuan said: "The prince has a heart." ”

Zhu Shiji said: "Since it's not a big deal, then you can continue to patrol the night, just remember to be cautious next time." As he spoke, he waved his hand and sent those brocade guards up, and watched them go far away as a team, before turning his head to look at Lu Wenyuan and Xia Kang: "Have you finished talking about Lord Lu and Lord Xia? If you are done, Lord Lu will go to the imperial brother with this king, and the imperial brother is still talking about why the adult disappeared just after dinner." ”

Lu Wenyuan heard the words and went to see Xia Kang, Xia Kang said: "Go back to the prince, I have already finished speaking, since the emperor has something to do, Lord Lu will go with the prince, and the next official will leave." As he spoke, he bowed and bowed, and then turned and left.

Lu Wenyuan was a little puzzled in his heart, but he said that he was obviously here to talk to him about the uprising of the displaced people, so why did he leave without explaining it? Zhu Shiji called from the side: "Lord Lu?"

Lu Wenyuan hesitantly turned around and accompanied Zhu Shiji to the stable to see the big Wan Qingcheng. Zhu Shiji said: "What's the matter with the prefect?"

Lu Wenyuan said: "Does the prince still remember the few people who instigated the rebellion in the ranks of the displaced people last year? Lord Xia just said that he had already found out who was the mastermind behind the scenes. ”

Zhu Shiji looked at the feed in the manger, and said "oh" absentmindedly: "If you don't say it, this king will almost forget about it." Who's the one to find out?"

Lu Wenyuan shook his head helplessly and said, "As soon as Master Xia said that it was a critical time, he was interrupted by the team of brocade guards, and he asked again but left in a hurry. ”

Zhu Shiji glanced at him from a dark place and said with a smile: "Lord Xia may be frightened, maybe he doesn't want too many people to hear about it, right? This matter is very important, Lord Xia will definitely find another opportunity to talk to the Lord in detail, fortunately, we can stay here for a few more days." As he spoke, he straightened up and patted the dust on his hands: "Lord Lu, let's go with this king, the imperial brother is still waiting in the room." ”

The two came to Zhu Shiyang's room and saw that he was lying bored on the bed, with a game of Go next to him, and a pair of phoenix eyes were half-open and half-closed, as if he wanted to sleep, but the robe on his body was not wide. Zhu Shiji stepped forward and shook him: "Brother Huang, if you want to sleep, you can change your clothes and then sleep." Lord Lu is here, how about he let you change your clothes?"

Zhu Shiyang lazily agreed, turned over and rubbed for a long time, before he sat up, opened a pair of misty sleepy eyes and said, "Where have you two been in the past half a day? ”

Zhu Shiji said with a smile: "The younger brother went to the stable to see the green horse, and happened to meet Master Lu there, so he asked him to come over." ”

Zhu Shiyang smiled absentmindedly and said: "King Kangping is really crazy about horses." As he spoke, he stretched his waist again: "I slept that time just now, I was really tired." It's not too late now, how about you accompany me to finish this endgame?" he said, gesturing to the idle chessboard on the side.

Zhu Shiji and Lu Wenyuan pushed each other, and Zhu Shiji got up and went back to the room to get it under the pretext that he had recently obtained a chess book. Lu Wenyuan sat down opposite and continued the unfinished game with Zhu Shiyang.

This game of chess was originally set up by Zhu Shiyang when he was idle and had nothing to do, but later, it somehow became a dead game, and he fell asleep in a fit of anger. Now that it was in Lu Wenyuan's hands, he didn't have any hope, but who knew that Lu Wenyuan only lowered his head and thought for a while, then he unhurriedly moved out with a few breaths, and the situation gradually became angry. Zhu Shiyang's eyes lit up, and he praised again and again, and the two of them went down one move at a time.

Zhu Shiji came back when he went to tea, and he really held a book in his hand, it seemed that it had been some years, even if it was not a book, it should be an antiquity. However, Zhu Shiyang didn't like it very much, and only said that the content was nothing new, so he put it aside casually. Zhu Shiji had no choice, sat down on the edge of the bed with a wry smile, and watched them play chess.

After a while, Zhu Shiji seemed to be a little tired and rested his chin on the kang table. Zhu Shiyang thought that he was too close to the chessboard and blocked his view, so he pinched the chess pieces and flicked them on his forehead with a smile, but before the hand was withdrawn, the chess pieces fell on the chessboard with a "click", scattering a few around.

Lu Wenyuan was startled, looked up, and saw that Zhu Shiyang's expression was a little frightened, he stretched out his hand to probe in front of Zhu Shiji's forehead, and shrank his hand in fright: "King Kangping, why is your forehead so hot?"

Zhu Shiji didn't agree lazily, only half-lowered his eyes, and his cheeks flushed a little sickly. Zhu Shiyang panicked, pushed the chessboard in front of him, dragged Zhu Shiji to the bed, and stretched out his hand to probe him carefully, and said, "It's not good, King Kangping is having a body fever." Lu Wenyuan, you go and call the accompanying imperial doctor. As he spoke, he pulled the quilt from the side and covered Zhu Shiji tightly.

Lu Wenyuan promised to go in a hurry, but saw Zhu Shiji stretch out a hand from the quilt, stopped him and said, "Don't be so troublesome, there is a medical officer under this king, who was brought from the Jiangnan Palace, and this king's body has always been taken care of by him, and Lord Lu can call him over." ”

Zhu Shiyang grabbed his hand out of the quilt and stuffed it back into the quilt, and said distressedly: "What's not troublesome, isn't it just to diagnose the disease with the imperial doctor? As he spoke, he instructed Lu Wenyuan: "Call that medical officer together." ”

Lu Wenyuan agreed to go, and after a while, the imperial doctor and the medical officer of the palace came in a hurry, kneeling in front of the bed and taking turns to diagnose Zhu Shiji's pulse. Zhu Shiyang and Lu Wenyuan watched anxiously from the side. Zhu Shiyang saw that when Zhu Shiji's sleeves were rolled up, a red rash on his forearm was revealed, and he couldn't help but lose color and said, "What's going on?

Seeing that the emperor was in a hurry, the imperial doctor himself was also in a cold sweat, stepped forward to squeeze the medical officer away, and put it on Zhu Shiji's wrist for another half a moment before frowning and hesitating: "The prince's pulse is a little slippery, and he has symptoms of body heat and chills, and a rash, it seems to be ...... I think I've eaten something......"

Zhu Shiyang saw him swallowing, and couldn't help but say angrily: "King Kangping's dinner was eaten with me and Shoufu, why is it that I and Shoufu are fine, but King Kangping has a fever and rash?"

Seeing the emperor's anger, the imperial doctor became more and more observant: "Xu is...... Xu Yes...... What else has the prince eat......"

Zhu Shiyang sat on the edge of the bed suspiciously, asked Zhu Shiji a few words in a low voice, and saw that Zhu Shiji was always shaking his head, so he said even more angrily: "King Kangping is not a greedy person, he stays with me on weekdays, eating and drinking are the same, you don't want to rely on King Kangping's head if you are not good at medicine!"

The imperial doctor was so frightened that he kowtowed again and again, but he didn't dare. The doctor had been hanging aside, and at this time, Fang knelt down and took two steps forward and said: "The emperor and the lord should not be in a hurry, the prince is suffering from the disease of water and soil, not because he has eaten something bad." ”

The medical officer, with a long face and a sparse goatee, looked neat and neat, much calmer than the trembling imperial doctor. Zhu Shiyang frowned and asked him, "Oh, are you careful?"

The medical officer said: "Back to the emperor, the grass people have been carefully diagnosed, and the prince is indeed suffering from the disease of water and soil, but because the symptoms came urgently this time, he had a body fever." When the prince first arrived in Jiangnan, he was also trapped by this disease for a while, and he was taken care of by the grass people at that time, so he would never be mistaken. ”

Zhu Shiyang said with a slight discoloration: "Oh? King Kangping also suffered from this disease when he first arrived in Jiangnan. ”

The doctor said, "Yes." The prince has a weak and cold physique, is easily disturbed by external qi, and is usually diligent in conditioning, but now he is running around, working hard all night, and the fire in his body is rising, so he has committed the stubborn disease of the past. But the emperor doesn't have to worry, the grass people who came out of this trip carried the pills to cure this disease, as long as the prince took it on time, everything would be safe in a few days. ”

Zhu Shiyang was a little relieved at this time, so he looked at the imperial doctor who was wiping his sweat on the side, and said unhappily: "Look at how people take care of the prince's body, I have spent a lot of money to raise you in the palace, but I can't even diagnose this symptom, and I have lost the royal face in vain!"

The imperial doctor was busy prostrating on the ground, but when he straightened up, he was a little hesitant: "The disease of unaccustomed water and soil starts from the false fire and goes up to the chest, and when it reaches the chest, it feels stuffy, so that the food accumulates in the lower abdomen, and then it becomes hot." But Wei Chen looked at the prince and seemed to have one or two coughs and wheezing, which seemed to be inconsistent with the symptoms of this unaccustomed condition. ”

When Zhu Shiyang heard this, he became a little anxious, and Zhu Shiji also turned his head to look at the medical officer, as if he was a little confused. The medical officer did not change his complexion, and said unhurriedly: "The climate here in Zhangde is dry, and the floating soil and dust are very filthy, which is not the same as the capital with a clear climate and the mild and moist Jiangnan, so the prince has a concurrent wheezing and coughing disease, which further aggravates the symptoms of water and soil unaccustomed itself. ”

When Zhu Shiyang heard this, he was so angry that he patted the edge of the bed and scolded: "It's all Xia Kang's official and unreasonable, and he doesn't have to build any moats." This is good, and King Kangping is sick. I said that it was not unreasonable for me to see him not going well!", and then turned to the imperial doctor and said angrily: "What are you still doing here with a pestle, useless thing?

Only then did Zhu Shiyang breathe a sigh of relief, calm his face, turned his head and tucked the quilt around Zhu Shiji's neck, and sighed: "You are like this now, just stay here for a while longer, and then leave when you are well." I will always be there for you. ”

Zhu Shiji nodded slowly in the quilt, his eyes were a little hazy due to the fever. Zhu Shiyang was distressed, stretched out his hand to touch his face, but heard the medical officer say on the side: "Your Majesty, the prince is suffering from a disease of unaccustomed water and soil, not only can he not stay here for a long time, but the sooner he leaves this place, the more beneficial it will be to the prince's condition." ”

Zhu Shiyang thought that this was indeed the case, so he laughed at Zhu Shiji and said, "Look at how I am confused." That being the case, I'll pack up and hit the road early tomorrow morning, and I don't want to stay in this kind of pickled place for one more day. ”

Zhu Shiji still nodded obediently and slowly closed his eyes. Zhu Shiyang ordered the medical officer to go out, leaving only Lu Wenyuan in the middle of the house to carry water and medicine. Seeing that Zhu Shiji had taken the pill, he sat on the edge of the bed and guarded.

I don't know how long it took, Zhu Shiji had already fallen asleep, and the hall was so quiet that the sound of night leakage could be heard. Lu Wenyuan was about to pass the hour, for fear that Zhu Shiyang would be tired, so he walked to the bed and said softly: "Your Majesty, it's so late, go to sleep." King Kangping came to watch. ”

Zhu Shiyang shook his head, his eyes did not leave the sleeping Zhu Shiji, and said softly: "No need, I don't worry." I just heard from the medical officer that King Kangping had suffered from this disease when he first arrived in Jiangnan, and after so many years, I didn't even know at all, and if I had known earlier, I wouldn't have sealed him so far away. Saying that, he was a little embarrassed: "It's all because I can't live with King Kangping." ”

Lu Wenyuan couldn't bear to see him sad, and persuaded softly: "Don't blame yourself, the emperor will be cured soon." ”

Zhu Shiyang nodded and said, "You're also tired, just go and sleep in the room for a while, and you'll have to hurry tomorrow morning." As he spoke, he waved his hand to signal that Lu Wenyuan could retreat.

Where is Lu Wenyuan willing to go. While the two were talking, Zhu Shiji woke up with a soft groan, and Zhu Shiyang hurriedly instructed Lu Wenyuan to pour tea for him to drink. Zhu Shiji took two sips of Zhu Shiyang's hand, leaned on him and said weakly: "It's so late, the imperial brother goes to sleep, the younger brother is fine alone." But he remembered that he was lying on Zhu Shiyang's bed, so he chuckled: "Look at me, I'm all burnt, I forgot that this is the royal brother's room." So saying, he lifted the quilt and went back to his room.

Zhu Shiyang hurriedly pressed him. Zhu Shiji saw that he didn't allow it, and said: "If the imperial brother doesn't think that the younger brother is sick, then go to bed and sleep for a while, the imperial brother's dragon body is expensive, and you can't ignore it." ”

Zhu Shiyang sighed: "You only think about my body, why don't you think about yourself? You suffered from this disease when you first arrived in Jiangnan, why don't you know that I will make a noise, and it is good that I often call you back to Beijing to raise you." ”

Zhu Shiji said with a smile: "Brother Chen, looking at the reaction of the imperial brother at this moment, knows that he didn't do anything wrong at the beginning. The imperial brother has always cherished his courtiers very much, if he knew, wouldn't he have to worry about his courtiers all the time and not be able to concentrate on political affairs?"

Zhu Shiyang's eyes turned red when he heard this, and he couldn't help but say: "King Kangping, your kind of heart is really ......" When the words came to his mouth, he turned into a long sigh, pulled the quilt on his shoulder, and said, "You tell me what is good about you." ”

Zhu Shiji smiled dimly, and watched Zhu Shiyang take off his boots and get to bed, so he gave him half of the quilt on his body, and he also pasted it as if he was cold: "The younger brother remembered that he was sick when he was a child, and the imperial brother also slept next to the younger brother like this. As he spoke, he closed his eyes and laughed.

Zhu Shiyang saw him snuggling up to him, because of his illness, he had less arrogance on weekdays and more weak attachment, so he reached out and took him in his arms. The boy who was weak back then has now grown into a tall man, and it is not comfortable to hold in his arms, but Zhu Shiyang seems to be hugging the childhood time when they are tired of being together and can not be separated. At that time, they also snuggled up to each other like this, spending the long cold and bleak night in the deep palace. Zhu Shiyang couldn't help but choke up a little, waved his hand and instructed Lu Wenyuan: "Don't pestle there, I want to say something to my brother." ”

Lu Wenyuan didn't have time to react, but he heard Zhu Shiji laugh in the quilt: "Brother, the imperial brother hasn't called the minister's 'brother' for a long time." ”

Zhu Shiyang also smiled and said, "You haven't called my 'brother' for a long time." ”

Zhu Shiji was quiet for a while, as if he was a little embarrassed, but he still blushed and called Zhu Shiyang "brother". Zhu Shiyang smiled and agreed, and hugged Zhu Shiji into his arms even more. 166 Reading Network
