Because he knew the news that his son got by chance in advance, he heard that Jiang Chong, who had a heroic appearance and peculiar clothes, said to the Son of Heaven who was half lying on the bed: "The Lord's violent illness must be caused by someone who practices the left way." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Shangguan Ji bowed his head slightly, not surprised at all, but had a further understanding of the relationship between Jiang Chong and Zhao Jieyu, who was also born in Zhao State.

Huo Guang, who was standing by the tent, was not surprised, he still bowed his head silently, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, and he couldn't help but show a silent sneer.

- I can't wait......

- Maybe I was frightened by the sudden serious illness of the Son of Heaven this time!

The Son of Heaven was seriously ill and had not yet recovered, so he was naturally impatient to listen to the long expositions of those gods and ghosts, and only listened to a few sentences, but he accepted Jiang Chong's request and used it as a messenger to cure witches.

Jiang Chong, who had received the edict's permission, immediately retreated. Shangguan Ji then stepped forward to greet him, and when he saw that the emperor was not in good spirits, he picked a few interesting things to talk about, and when the emperor showed his face, he also retired.

After several courtiers who were allowed to meet him saw the Son of Heaven leave, Huo Guang continued his previous work - reading the recital sent by Chang'an for the Son of Heaven.

As soon as he read a few copies, Huo Guang heard the voice of the Son of Heaven full of tiredness: "No need to read it, the prince shouldn't make any big mistakes!" ”

“…… Promise. Seeing that the Son of Heaven was indeed not energetic, leaning on the table, his eyes were half-closed, Huo Guang did not insist, put away the book, put it on the lacquer table, and then looked up at the Son of Heaven, and his brows couldn't help frowning.

"Something?" When today's Zi was smart and keen, he immediately felt Huo Guang's attention, and opened his eyes to look at this close minister who had always been cautious.

Huo Guang leaned forward and knelt down: bowed his head and reported: "Lord, the prince's envoy asks for an audience ......"

The Son of Heaven waved his hand slightly without waiting for him to finish: "No need." It's about to be autumn, and when I am a little calmer, I will go back to Jianzhang Palace, so that the prince doesn't have to worry about it. ”

"No!" Huo Guang couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised, although he didn't think that those little tricks of the ghosts and ghosts could make a big difference, but it was always not bad to have fewer twists and turns.

Hearing the eunuch's report that Zhao Jieyu and the six princes were invited to meet, Huo Guang whispered to the emperor and withdrew from the dormitory before Mrs. Gou Yi and Liu Fuling came in.

Handing over the lacquer table stacked with the book to Shangshu, Huo Guang turned around and left, intending to meet the envoy sent by the prince, but before he could step out of the palace, he was stopped by Jin Riyan: "Huangmen Suwen has ordered someone to send the prince's envoy." ”

Huo Guang frowned when he heard this, bowed his head lightly to Jin Riyan, and then hurried away. When he arrived at the place where the messenger had been waiting, he was colliding head-on with a eunuch.

"Huo Shizhong......" When the eunuch saw Huo Guang, his face immediately changed, and he was faintly trembling.

"Su Wen sent you to send away the prince's envoy?" Huo Guang also changed color, and coldly questioned the eunuch.

The eunuch nodded tremblingly - for those of them with low status, Su Wen's orders could not be ignored, but Huo Guang, who was a close confidant of the Son of Heaven, could also destroy them.

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Huo Guang waved his hand to let the young eunuch leave.

"Xie Huo is in the middle of the service!" He was still young and grateful, and the eunuch thanked him softly before running away.

After standing in place for a while and stomping his foot hard, Huo Guang could only turn around and leave helplessly.

"Zi Meng......" A familiar voice came into Huo Guang's ears, very light, but it was enough for him to hear clearly.

- Shangguan Ji?!

Huo Guang was slightly surprised, and when he stopped and turned around, he gathered all his emotions, and looked at Shangguan Ji who walked out of the house with a smile.

This is the place where the foreign ministers are waiting to be seen. The previous meeting was over, Huo Guang didn't expect that there would be people here, so he would question the eunuch so harshly.

Greeting Shangguan Ji who was approaching, Huo Guang asked puzzledly, "Young Uncle (Note 1) hasn't left the palace yet?" But what's the matter? ”

Shangguan Ji and Huo Guang saluted, and said with a smile: "I have a happy event to tell you!" These **** guards are working hard, I'm afraid I haven't even read the family letter, right? ”

Huo Guang was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that this in-law was really homely with him, but since it was a happy event, he was naturally curious: "The day before yesterday, the housewife repaired a book, and the servant has not yet opened it, I don't know what Junqing said about the happy event?" ”

Shangguan Ji laughed happily and said very easily: "Happy event! Great joy! My daughter-in-law is pregnant. ”

"Really?" Huo Guang was very surprised.

"Can this kind of thing still be spoken?" Shangguan Ji asked angrily with half-truths and half-truths.

Huo Guang lightly arched his hand: "Gaffe!" Lapsus linguae! ”

Because of the early death of his son-in-law, Huo Guang's only son now is from his lower wife, and he inevitably feels a little guilty about his wife, and he has a little more unusual love for his eldest daughter Xingjun (Note 2). The eldest daughter has been married into the Shangguan family for nearly two years and has not been pregnant for a long time, so he and his wife are naturally worried, and at this time, the surprise is indescribable.

Shangguan Ji was in a good mood, where would he take it seriously, so he hurriedly reached out to hold Huo Guang's hand, laughed and laughed, and then took the opportunity to whisper: "Be careful of the Li family!" ”

Of course, Huo Guang would not think that he really just wanted to share the good news with him, but at this time, when he heard Shangguan Ji's strange and meaningless reminder, he couldn't help frowning and raised his eyes to look at the other party.

Shangguan Ji didn't explain his incomprehension of his in-laws, he just raised his eyebrows slightly, then raised his right hand, and after Huo Guang paid attention, he slowly released the five fingers that were clenched into a fist.

This simple action made Huo Guang be silent for a moment, and then, he nodded lightly and said with a smile: "Fortunately, the gentleman is pregnant, can the virtuous son-in-law take leave?" ”

Shangguan Ji couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't expect Huo Guang to suddenly talk about this, but after being stunned for a moment, he understood Huo Guang's intentions, nodded and said, "Meng Ye, the son of Zhi'an'er!" That kid has this intention, so he can only ask Zi Meng ......"

Although Yulin Riding is not as close to the Son of Heaven as the period gate, it is also the guard of the Son of Heaven, and it has its own rules, and it is not possible to take leave if you want to. Besides, Su Wei Langqi is not something that foreign ministers can interfere with, although Shangguan Ji is Jiuqing, he can't help his son, but Huo Guang, because he is a confidant of the Son of Heaven, maybe there is a way to turn around.

Huo Guang smiled and didn't answer, just bowed his hand to show goodbye, Shangguan Ji glanced at him dissatisfied, and saluted and said goodbye.

Seeing Shangguan Ji leave the palace gate and board the car to leave the form, Huo Guang put down his hands, and his expression became cold, but after all, he didn't say anything, turned around, and returned to the Son of Heaven at the same speed as usual.

Knowing from the period gate that Mrs. Gou Yi and the prince were still in the dormitory, Huo Guang went to the duty house in the East Chamber.

In the house, Jin Riyan was holding a simple booklet, reading it seriously, hearing the movement, he immediately got up vigilantly, and when he saw that it was Huo Guang, he sat down again, and was just about to continue reading, he raised his head again, looked up and down, frowned and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Huo Guang's face was pale, obviously in an extremely bad mood. Jin Riyan secretly wondered if he should go out and let Huo Guang stay alone for a while?

No matter how gentle Huo Guangping is, Jin Riyan always has a little bit of fear for the surname Huo.

Huo Guang walked to the other side, sat down on the wooden bed, and sneered: "I can't wait, I'm ready to move!" ”

Jin Riyan changed color when he heard this, dropped the book, went straight to the door, went around in a circle, confirmed that there was no one, and then re-entered the house, and complained in a low voice: "Didn't you Han people say that 'the wall has ears'?" Here and now, you ......"

"It's okay!" Huo Guang waved his hand and chuckled, "People have lofty aspirations, and we are insignificant...... No one will be paying attention for a while! ”

Jin Riyan was a little confused: "What do you mean?" …… Jiang Chong? The queen and the crown prince can't deal with ......"

Huo Guang shrugged his shoulders and sneered, and slowly shook his head: "There is a tiger in front and a wolf in the back...... Uncle Weng (Note 3)...... Jeopardy! ”

Note 1: Shaosun is the character of Shangguanji, "Hanshu • Biography of Li Guangsu Jian": There is a time, the law is changed, and the government says: "Duh, Shaoqing is good and hard!" Huo Zimeng, Shangguan Young Uncle Xie Nu. Ling said: "Huo and Shangguan are okay? ”。

Note 2: Xingjun is the name of Huo Guang's eldest daughter, which is purely fictional, I wanted to be lazy and use the "Xingjun" from there, but there was a conflict in the plot setting, so I had to find a homophone......

Note 3: Uncle Weng is the character of Jin Ripan, from "Hanshu • Huo Guang Jin Ripan Biography", which is not fiction, but historical fact.
