When Shao Linghang led King Jing into the inner room, Su Ke was drinking the soup with a bowl.

Although she was burning, her spirit was much better than before. was already thin, but a serious illness had not healed, and the hand holding the medicine bowl was dry and green, revealing a small section of the wrist, comparable to a door bolt. She leaned on the edge of the bed, her hair loosely held up, and expressed her doubts about the medicine in her hand, "It's a medicinal diet and a decoction, is it okay to drink like this?" ”

Mother Sun, who was guarding the side, thought that she was afraid of hardship so she said this, took a small plate of candied fruit in her hand, and persuaded: "Relying on medicinal diet alone will be effective for half a day, Imperial Doctor Liang has been on the prescription, and the amount has been reduced, but the medicine still has to be drunk." Good medicine is bitter, and the disease can only be cured after drinking. ”

Since he had all the prescriptions, Su Ke was very relieved of Liang Jincheng's medical skills, and he wanted to drink it with a medicine bowl.

At this time, Shao Linghang pushed the door in.

Because of the refusal to go back, Su Ke and Shao Linghang had some awkwardness. Su Ke was sick, she couldn't move when she got out of bed like a toilet, and if Shao Linghang didn't send someone to send her back, she would be hopeless. She was depressed in her heart, and she naturally didn't have a good face when she saw Shao Linghang. After glancing at him, he slowly moved his gaze back, but he didn't see it.

Who knew that someone came in at the door again, and Mother Sun hurriedly squatted down to bless her body, and respectfully shouted "Lord Wang".

Only then did Su Ke turn his head again, only to see a person wearing a stone blue round-necked robe walking out from behind Shao Linghang, wearing an inch-wide crow black belt, and his body looked straight and symmetrical. Although it is a little shorter than Shao Linghang and thinner, it has a lot more elegant taste.

This is much stronger than Shao Linghang.

Su Ke looked at it, and the man's fair face had broad facial features and clear eyebrows. The sight was calm and quiet, and he nodded to her without sadness or joy, "Su ......" stopped his mouth after saying one word, swallowed the words behind him with difficulty, and changed his mouth, "-Si Yan." ”

Su Ke was stunned for a moment, and he really couldn't tell whether King Jing's sentence was surprised or embarrassed.

But all that was enough to make her panic.

She didn't know the relationship between King Jing and Shao Linghang, she only thought that Shao Linghang was sick and didn't go to duty. Many things can be concealed from the top and from the bottom, and the meaning of respecting the king as a prince is not simple. Shao Linghang is in an important position, and there is a noble concubine in the palace, because she is such an insignificant person who makes trouble, it is really not worth it.

But Su Ke still had a little clarity in his panic, and felt that no matter how stupid Shao Linghang was, he would not make a real move, and he also led King Jing to the house.

She glanced at Shao Linghang, hoping to get a glimpse of something from his expression.

For example, her current identity, and her origins. What he said to King Jing, and what he wanted her to say. No matter what kind of quarrel the two of them have in private, she is still a member of the Hou Mansion in front of her, so she has to stand in one camp.

But Shao Linghang's face was gloomy like the big vat of water in the Shang Palace, no, like the dilapidated well in the Cold Palace.

Su Ke only felt bad, and his heart suddenly panicked.

However, Shao Linghang may not know that she and King Jing still have some friendship, and it is not in vain to stay in the palace for nine years, not to see or listen to it is the foundation of life, but it does not mean that it is not known. If King Jing is indeed not good, it is still necessary to protect the Hou Mansion.

Looking at King Jing's homely clothes, which were not inconspicuous, she felt that there was still room for change.

"Lord Wang......" Su Ke said, and sat up from the bed frame with great strength. Still holding the medicine bowl in his hand, he didn't use all his strength to get up, and his bloodless face was like a yellowed page.

She smiled vaguely, and her voice was as smooth as possible, "Why is the prince here?" ”

King Jing raised his hand, "Drink the medicine first, and then talk after drinking." ”

Su Ke had already held the medicine bowl to return it to Mother Sun, and when he heard King Jing say this, it was not good to save face. And she's sicker, can she still win some sympathy?

Thinking like this, Su Ke held the medicine bowl that had become warm, and choked down one bite at a time.

In fact, it is not very bitter, Su Ke is not afraid of hardship, according to her temperament, she can pour it directly with her neck. But then it showed heroism rather than sickness, so Su Ke swallowed slowly, as if swallowing a knife, his whole face was wrinkled, and he swallowed reluctantly.

After she finished drinking, she grabbed a life-saving straw and raised her hand towards Mother Sun.

Mother Sun had already prepared something to rinse her mouth, waited for her to rinse her mouth, stuffed two candied fruits into her, and stood aside again.

Su Ke chewed on the candied fruit, not knowing what to do next. The so-called enemy does not move, I do not move. She pretended to be calm.

King Jing said loudly: "You all go out, I have something to talk to Su Siyan alone." ”

Su Ke looked at Shao Linghang, his gloomy and terrible face was shrouded in gloomy clouds, his face was black and oppressive, he said that he hated or hated and said that he was angry or not, pursed his lips and stopped for a long time, and squeezed out the words from between his teeth, "I ...... with her"

"Let me talk to her." King Jing turned his head and looked at the ground, saying not lightly or seriously, but with the majesty of a prince.

Shao Linghang's gaze darkened.

King Jing was not formal, from the floor cover to the bed, he walked over in a few steps, Kankan stopped, twisted his robe and posed, and Mother Sun hurriedly moved the pestle on the side. After he sat down, the hem of his robe was flat on his lap, and he sat up straight, and his movements revealed the momentum and elegance inherited from the royal court.

Su Ke didn't dare to sit on an equal footing with him, and was about to get out of bed, King Jing raised his hand, "You don't have to be polite between us." ”

After speaking, he raised his eyes to Mother Sun on the side, "Let's go out." ”

Su Ke saw Shao Linghang's lips twitching slightly, as if he wanted to speak and stopped, but he didn't dare to make a mistake lightly. He looked at Su Ke, because King Jing had his back to him, so his gaze was straight, and the deliberate forbearance fell on Su Ke's eyes, making her heart beat twice.

So, why put yourself in such a difficult situation? It's not that if you say it, you can't do it, but even if you do, you have to step over the legs of many people in the middle, and you have to face the eyes of many people and brave the wind and rain to move forward. Why bother? You are a hereditary reckless lord, with a prominent family and military achievements. You are handsome and dashing, and you are magnificent, why bother to spend all this energy on me.

We have this disparity in status and status, and if we really want to be together, either you compromise or I compromise.

Will this kind of relationship last long?

Now a Hou Ye delays official business for a subordinate, not to mention how bad his reputation is after it spreads, even the people in the Hou Mansion are terrifying, and every word is like a knife. Now that the boss has sent someone over, can you afford to hide it? Don't you want any glory? The face of the concubine in the palace is ignored?

Su Ke retracted his gaze, and the bitter medicine soup that he swallowed rolled upwards, and the taste of the candied fruit couldn't be suppressed.

After Shao Linghang took Mother Sun away, only Su Ke and King Jing were left in the house. It's cold for a while, it's okay to have someone else, but since there is no one else, the other party points out that he wants to "talk" with her, so the cold field will not work.

Su Ke sniffed and hummed, "The prince is here, is he here to run an errand?" ”

King Jing turned the wrench on his thumb, and the corners of his mouth curved, "Are you worried that the emperor will blame Ling Hang?" ”

"Blame?" Su Ke raised his voice a little, "Master Hou is so sick that his face is haggard, and he goes to the court every day, and he has to go to the Governor's Mansion to deal with official business. It's just that he came back earlier than usual, so the emperor won't be so unreasonable. ”

King Jing raised his eyebrows, "Are you betting on me with words?" ”

Su Ke hurriedly shook his head, didn't dare to meet his gaze, hung his head and whispered: "Lord Wang, you do me a favor and fool the past, don't let me, the culprit, become a sinner for thousands of years." ”

King Jing smiled: "You are honest and honest, and you know that you are the culprit." ”

That being said, it seems that King Jing is in the know. But to what extent do you know?

Su Ke pouted, "Don't make fun of me." I don't want it to be like this. Didn't the prince always say that the world is unpredictable, and I was put on the table by the world. I'm sick now, I can't vomit with him, you can help cover it up, and tomorrow the Hou Ye will go to the upper duty. ”

"He'll listen to you?"

Su Ke was choked, and his face twitched, "Don't listen." ”

"Then he can only return to the Governor's Mansion when you are well." King Jing said sincerely, looking at Su Ke's appearance that he didn't dare to speak, his tone suddenly became a little heavier, "He has been guarding you for four or five days in a row, and I heard that the matter of taking care of you is not the hand of others." Coupled with Jincheng's medical skills, your illness should not be without improvement. Su Ke—"

King Jing called her very seriously, "Don't get stuck in the past and can't get out." ”

Su Kefa smiled bitterly, "Do you want to say that I have a heart disease?" Without waiting for King Jing to say anything, she hurriedly shook her head, "No, the prince is too worried." ”

King Jing Chen, or to pick it out, "I heard that the mother-in-law who worked under your hand drowned." Su Ke, there are only a few ways for people to die, and it can't be one that has something to do with you, because the water is dead, you will take the responsibility on yourself. If you don't get rid of the knots in your heart, it won't matter how much medicine you take. I have come this time for him and for you. Since you are with him, you have to think about him. How many people in the court stared at him, eager to find out his fault. That's when you have to look at the bigger picture. ”

Su Ke's hands clutched the futon, and his arms trembled. She looked at King Jing's serious appearance blankly, and suddenly grinned, but it was more ugly than crying, "The prince knows so much." ”

Jing Wang was silent, which can be regarded as a tacit acquiescence.

Su Ke asked him, "You have a good relationship with Master Hou." ”

"I treat him like a brother."

Su Ke nodded and smiled, "Since you are not here to investigate the authenticity of this trip, and you have had affection with Master Hou, then I will be relieved, and I will not have a knot." The prince came to see me, this face has given me enough, and the prince will definitely treat me well in the future, I have thanked the prince here. ”

The meaning of these words is obvious, and the details hidden between the words are cleanly skimmed.

King Jing looked at Su Ke silently, because of her evasion, he stepped forward to uncover the scars of the past, "Su Ke, the mother-in-law of this Hou Mansion stumbled and slipped off the curved bridge. The palace maid in the Shang Palace Bureau was so sleepy that she fell into the well while fetching water. And Love—"

Because of King Jing's words, Su Ke's eyes turned red, "What about Love?" Does the prince want to say that Love's death has nothing to do with me? ”

King Jing's body trembled slightly, looking at Su Ke's tears that were about to roll down, and said in a bitter voice, "It has nothing to do with you." ”

Su Ke snorted, tilted his head and smiled, tears rolling down.

Who is fooled by this big ridiculous joke?

However, King Jing's voice was faintly choked, and the muffled voice gave a thunderclap, "It's me, it's me who killed Love." ”

……

Many years later, when Su Ke went to the ancestral tomb of the Liang family every year to worship Love, he would remember the appearance of respecting the king that day. She was always burning paper money and talking to Love.

He was known as a generation of Ming Jun, and after the "Red Gate Rebellion", the Ming Dynasty was unprecedentedly prosperous under his rule, ushering in a peaceful and prosperous era.

He was diligent in government and loved the people, the people supported him, and the historians sang praises for him.

He is great and wise, and every time he listens to the praise of his ministers at the banquet, he will sincerely rejoice that Daming has such a good emperor.

No one will know that he has blamed himself for your death for many years. Even if you are only a small, insignificant opportunity on his path to victory, he has at least avenged you.

I will be grateful to him for the rest of my life.
