These days, Shu Qiao has been unable to eat, and every day he nests in his room and plays the flute score given to him by the Eighteenth Master, always blowing, and tears will appear in his eyes.

Xiao Hai walked in and brought in some food, "Sister has a bad appetite these days, she is in a bad mood, and she is always crying, is she thinking about the fourth master?" ”

"No, it's just that when I think of parting and seeing each other, and when I die and never meet again, I feel a kind of helplessness." I said these words unconsciously.

"Die? Sister, who are you talking about? "Xiaohai.

"Well," I realized I shouldn't have said that, "it's nothing, it's a casual feeling." ”

Xiao Hai sat down and handed me something to drink, and I took it too, holding a spoon, although the food was tasteless, I still had to drink it more or less in front of Xiao Hai.

"Sister, to be honest, I especially don't want you to marry in the past, Sister Erwang is already leaving here, and you have to leave here now, leaving Xiaohai alone, it's so lonely." Xiaohai.

"When you find someone you like in the future, I can't wait to be with her every day, how can I still miss my sister like this." Shu Qiao.

"Xiao Hai won't," Xiao Hai, "but sister, I think I can still talk to Jiu Ye." ”

"Poof" I couldn't help laughing, and the sugar in my mouth almost coughed up, "Then do you think it's important that you like it, or that your sister likes it." ”

"At that time, it was my sister who liked it." Xiao Hai replied unambiguously.

I smiled and continued to drink soup, I had an unpleasant quarrel with Jiu Ye last time, I don't know if Jiu Ye still holds a grudge, but he lost his very important things, what about scolding a few words? He used to tease himself a lot, but he never held a grudge, I really don't know why he is so manly and so small.

It is said that on the way to inspect, the symptoms of the eighteenth master's cold seem to be getting worse and worse, and the fourth master drove the horse to the vicinity of the eighteenth master. Take off your cloak and hand it to the eighteenth master: "Eighteen brother, you can cover it." ”

"Thank you, Fourth Brother," the Eighteenth Master turned out to be a cloak, "I blame myself for being too negligent." I dropped my cloak and coughed cough again.

The fourth master saw that the situation was not very good, so he persuaded the eighteenth master: "Eighteenth brother, it is better for you to go to Huang Ama's car." At least the wind can be blocked there. ”

"If it's really bad to get sick on the road, then I'll go find Huang Ama." Eighteen masters.

"Yes." The fourth master nodded.

The eighteenth master turned the horse's head and slowly walked to the emperor's carriage.

At night, the eighteenth master's illness became more and more serious, the fever was also very strict, the whole person was burned in a daze, when the fourth master came to visit, he found the condition of the eighteenth master, and immediately found the accompanying imperial doctor, after the imperial doctor looked at the symptoms. knelt down and said: "Back to the emperor, the eighteenth master has been invaded by wind and cold, and he has already injured his vitality before, and he has not yet recovered, and now he has typhoid fever again, which hurts the root." ”

"Enough, I really don't want to hear this, you hurry up and prescribe medicine to treat Eighteen." The emperor sat at the head of the eighteenth master's bed, his eyebrows frowned, but the anger between his words also brought deep worry.

"Your Majesty. The eighteenth elder brother is so heavy now, and the medicinal materials he carries with him can only temporarily save his life, but whether he can get through this level depends on the will of God. The imperial doctor was also so frightened that he trembled when he spoke.

"Bastard. Didn't you say that it was just typhoid fever? Why is it so strict? The emperor was furious.

"The minister said, the eighteenth master is now injured to the root, and he can't be early," the imperial doctor said halfway through eating.

"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and decoct the medicine for Eighteen." Emperor.

"Yes." The Imperial Doctor was so frightened that he wanted to leave immediately.

In the evening, it was late at night, and the high fever of the eighteenth master still did not go away. The emperor has been sitting beside the eighteenth master and watching, touching the eighteenth master's forehead, and can only sigh and shake his head.

At this time, the eunuch's father-in-law came in and said, "Your Majesty, several elder brothers are outside asking to see you. ”

"Call them in." The emperor's voice seemed to be a little hoarse.

"Yes." The eunuch's father-in-law went out and said to a few elder brothers, "Ladies and gentlemen, please go in." ”

After several elder brothers walked in, they saw that Kangxi's face seemed to be a lot haggard overnight.

"Huang Ama, it's late, go and rest, take care of the dragon's body." The fourth elder brother is the eldest in it, so he naturally speaks first.

"Your eighteenth brother has a high fever now, how can a father rest." Emperor.

"Huang Ama, why don't you go and rest first, and a few of us take turns to take care of the eighteenth brother." The Thirteenth Master said.

The emperor turned his head to look, but found that the prince was not in the elder brother, so he asked with a cold face, "What about the prince?" ”

Everyone didn't dare to respond, and Kangxi also knew that they didn't dare to say anything about the prince, so he said, "Go and find the prince." ”

"Yes." After the eunuch's father-in-law went down, he immediately ordered the others to find the prince.

After the prince heard about it, he immediately rushed to Kangxi's yurt tent, "The son sees his father." ”

"Your eighteenth brother is in danger now, several of his brothers have come to visit, and you are still sleeping, don't you care about your brotherhood?" Kangxi's resentment was sprinkled on the prince at once.

The prince stammered: "Although the son has not come, he is also unable to sit still, and he can't sleep at night." ”

Kangxi was already very tired at this time, and he didn't want to really dig deeper, so he said: "Okay, a few of you take turns guarding the eighteenth here, if there is any situation, come and report to me immediately." ”

"Yes, Huang Ama." Several elder brothers spoke in unison.

After watching the emperor leave, the prince's mood calmed down a little. In order not to make the emperor angry, the crown prince also reluctantly stayed to take care of the eighteenth master.

The next day, the prince asked the little eunuch who was with him to massage his neck and shoulders, "I sat on the stool for several hours last night, and my back hurts from being tired." Be sure to catch up on your sleep today. ”

In the evening, it was time for the prince to change shifts, and the prince walked to the room just as the fourteenth master, and the fourteenth master stood up: "The prince, since you are here, then I will go out first." ”

"Yes." The prince nodded, and after the fourteenth master left, the prince sat down, but the longer he sits, the more uncomfortable his neck and back become, and the more he thinks about it, the more angry he becomes: You are sick and make me suffer.

The prince stood up and said to the little eunuch beside him, "You are watching here, I will come later." ”

"Prince, aren't you here?" The little eunuch was a little scared.

"He lay down and let me sit. It's not uncomfortable to look at. The prince knew that the little eunuch was not without reason to be afraid, "I will come back before the shift change, if the eighteenth brother has something to do during the period, come to me as soon as possible." ”

"The minions obey." Little eunuch.

After a while. The imperial doctor came to check the pulse, but he was unexpectedly startled, "Father-in-law, go and call the emperor, the eighteenth elder brother has passed away." ”

It's a top priority. The little eunuch was also startled, and immediately ran out in a hurry, just in time to bump into the fourteenth master.

"Rush and collide, what kind of system." The Fourteenth Master scolded angrily.

"The fourteenth master forgives the sins, the eighteenth master has died, and the slave is going to sue the emperor and the crown prince." Eunuch.

The prince is not here?

The Fourteenth Master suddenly thought in his mind that maybe this was a good time to strike at the crown prince. Then he said to the little eunuch, "Follow me and tell the emperor Ama." ”

"Fourteenth Master" The little eunuch wanted to say something, but the Fourteenth Master immediately shouted: "Don't you hurry up, do you want the emperor to punish the crime?" ”

"Yes." The little eunuch followed "rubbing" over.

When the emperor heard the news, he immediately came. Seeing that Lao Eighteen was just a cold corpse, he blamed the imperial doctor: "Didn't you say that as long as you take care of it, there will be a turnaround?" Ah, didn't you do your best to save the Eighteenth Master just now? ”

The imperial doctor immediately knelt down and replied tremblingly: "The emperor forgives the sin, but when the minister came, the eighteenth master had already walked for about a stick of incense, and the minister could not do anything." ”

"Who was with the Eighteenth Master just now?" Emperor.

The little eunuch was so frightened that he knelt down with his legs: "It's the prince." ”

"Is that him?" The emperor was very angry, thinking that it must be the prince's dereliction of duty, and immediately came to the prince's room and saw that the prince was sleeping peacefully. Kangxi grabbed the prince's collar and frightened the prince "Ah", "Huang Ama." ”

The emperor did not allow the prince to justify, and directly pulled the prince down in front of the eighteenth master's bed: "Look at your eighteenth brother." Losing your life at such a young age is a dereliction of duty on your part. ”

"Huang Ama, the son didn't mean it, the son is yes, the son is the son is" The prince thought about how to explain it again.

"You still don't repent, you don't care about brotherhood. I don't have a brother at all, I don't have the compassion of a king, I don't deserve to take on a heavy responsibility, you give me back, and I think about it. "The emperor doesn't want to see the prince at all.

The crown prince knew that the situation was really strict, and immediately begged for mercy: "Huang Ama, the retainers know that they are wrong, the retainers"

"Get out" The emperor drank, the prince didn't stay long, he had to go back first, and only after his emperor Ama calmed down, he had the opportunity to apologize and regain Huang Amma's confidence in himself.

And the emperor was crying bitterly at the corpse of the eighteenth master, and several elder brothers also showed grief on their faces, especially the thirteenth master, which can be regarded as the best friendship between the thirteenth master and the eighteenth master. Therefore, the feelings of the Thirteenth Master must be from the bottom of their hearts.

The body of the eighteenth master was taken care of, and the prince was angry with Long Yan, and he was locked in the tent alone, not allowed to go out, and no one dared to visit without permission.

The emperor was sick in bed, the fourteenth master took care of it in front of the bed, and the fourth and thirteenth masters went to the emperor's tent with the imperial doctor to carry the herbal decoction.

The thirteenth master didn't notice the state of the fourth master, but sighed secretly: "I didn't expect that a cold wind took away the young eighteenth brother, life is really unpredictable, I think the eighteenth brother came here this time to see Shu Qiao, if Shu Qiao knew about it, I don't know what it would be like to be sad." ”

The thirteenth master was joking, and when he saw that the fourth master had not reacted, he stopped and grabbed the fourth master's shoulder with his hand: "Fourth brother, are you okay?" ”

Only then did the fourth master come back to his senses, "It's okay, what did you just say?" ”

The Thirteenth Master said simply: "I mean, Shu Qiao has such a good relationship with the eighteenth brother, let's talk to her." ”

The fourth master thought for a moment and blurted out: "Don't you believe it, Shu Qiao seems to know that the eighteenth brother has this calamity in his life." ”

The Thirteenth Master was very surprised, and was frightened by the Fourth Master's words, "This? How can it be? ”

The fourth master didn't explain too much, but just told the thirteenth master everything he saw and heard before parting, and the thirteenth master remembered what Shu Qiao had said before, "Fourth brother, when you say this, I remember that when Shu Qiao was still a scholar before, he said that as long as he could help him drag it out until the end of forty-seven years, he could not marry the prince." The Thirteenth Master was still thinking about what it was for, but seeing this situation, the Thirteenth Master suddenly realized: "Could it be that the crown prince will have a catastrophe this time?" ”

"I have to wait and see before I know whether what Shu Qiao said to us is true or false." Fourth Master.

The thirteenth master nodded, and the fourth master said, "Send someone to tell Shu Qiao about the eighteenth brother." ”

"I see." Thirteen masters.

When he came to the emperor's tent, the fourteenth master was standing in front of the couch and watching, the fourth master and the thirteenth master came in, a few people just looked at each other, and the fourth master: "Hasn't the emperor woken up yet?" ”

The Fourteenth Master shook his head, "Huang Ama woke up a few times during the period, but he fell asleep after a while, and he must have been exhausted. ”

Fourth Master: "Then I'll send someone to take the medicine down and heat it, and I can take it when Huang Ama wakes up." ”

The Fourteenth Master nodded, but heard the emperor's faint voice say, "No need, I'm awake." ”

"Huang Ama." Several elder brothers walked over together, and the fourth master sat in front of the emperor with a bowl and said, "Huang Ama, you drink some medicine first and take care of your body." ”

The emperor took a sip of a spoonful of decoction that the fourth master sent to his mouth, and after drinking it, he couldn't help but feel, "I think that back then, the old eighteen were born, I was ecstatic, and the old man had a son, it was really a gift from God, I just wanted him to grow up safely, but I didn't expect that in just a few years, the old eighteen left me, and the white-haired person sent the black-haired person." ”

The fourth master didn't want the emperor to continue to be sad, so he said: "Huang Ama, the eighteenth brother is the most filial on weekdays, if he knows that you hurt his body for him, he will definitely be unwilling." ”

The emperor was secretly sad, "Who?" As soon as the Fourteenth Master made a sound, he frightened everyone around him, and the Fourteenth Master immediately rushed out.

The fourteenth master saw that there was indeed a figure, and immediately stepped forward to fight with someone, but found that this little eunuch was actually "The prince." ”

The crown prince knew that the fourteenth master was the person next to the eighth master, and immediately compromised and said: "Fourteenth brother, let me go, I will definitely repay my kindness in the future." ”

The Fourteenth Master naturally didn't want to let the prince go like this, but if he ruined the opportunity and offended the prince, it would be difficult to grasp the overall situation.

When the fourteenth master was letting go of his hand, the emperor and the fourth master, the fourteenth master came out together, and the emperor said, "Who is it?" ”

The crown prince was frightened, and accidentally turned his head, and was immediately terrified, "Rebel, during the lockdown period, you made you reflect on yourself, you actually came out without permission, and ran to my camp to eavesdrop, since you don't reflect, let me guide you well, how to reflect." The more the emperor spoke, the more excited he became, and the fourth and thirteenth masters around him also felt that they were getting heavier and heavier, and the thirteenth master: "Huang Ama, don't be excited, the son will go and ask you for a doctor." ”

The thirteenth master looked at the fourth master and signaled, and then left, and the emperor said: "Old fourteen, lock up Yinren, strictly guard him, and don't allow him to come out." ”

Since the Fourteenth Master has received the emperor's order, he can naturally say confidently: "Yes, Huang Ama." (To be continued.) )
