Chapter 169: Receiving Gifts

Early the next morning, Ren Qixiu set up a big battle to visit Cao Yi.

The place that Shuyin said is really good, although it is a mansion without a plaque, but the display at the door spontaneously reveals an inexplicable nobility.

Ren Qixiu believes that this is Cao Yi's residence at this moment.

Before arriving at the door, he repeatedly posed as a visitor, and then Ren Qixiu called someone to knock on the door.

It was a man dressed as a scholar who opened the door to the mansion.

As soon as I looked up, I seemed to be taken aback.

"Prince Ning visited, I didn't know that Lord Cao was there." The subordinate politely handed over the sticker.

"Your Excellency is in the house." The boy seems to be in the period of voice change, and his voice is a little hoarse.

"Please come with me, adults." After receiving the worship sticker, the young man led Shuyin and Ren Qixiu and his party towards the house.

Although the interior of this mansion is small, it looks very exquisite, and one step at a time, it is exciting to see.

Ren Qixiu had a gentle smile on his face and couldn't help but nod.

At the end of the eaves under the corridor, Cao Yi is holding a book in his hand, under the rising sun outside, and then the dawn of the morning, the whole person is bathed in it, but it is still the same appearance that wraps himself tightly, holiness and darkness, and there is a strange sense of harmony between the two.

"My lord, Prince Ning is here to visit." The little scholar handed over the sticker in his hand, and Cao Yi flipped his eyes and saw Ren Qi Xiu who stepped forward.

"Xiaguan see Prince Ning." Putting down the scroll, still holding a sticker in his hand, Cao Yi practiced the salute to Ren Qi.

"Lord Cao doesn't have to be so polite." Ren Qixiu's face was full of smiles at the moment, and he said softly to Cao Yi.

"Your Excellency, please." Cao Yi led Ren Qixiu and walked towards the main hall in his mansion, which was still not a good place to talk.

Ren Qixiu did not refuse, but followed behind Cao Yi.

"Prince Ning suddenly visited, and the lower officials couldn't be prepared." Cao Yi said humbly.

Ren Qixiu looked at the furnishings in Cao Yi's mansion, drank the somewhat astringent tea that was sent, and subconsciously frowned slightly.

"There is no good tea in the Xiaguan Mansion, so I can only grieve Prince Ning." Cao Yi drank tea by himself, but he didn't feel unnatural.

Ren Qixiu came to recruit Cao Yi this time:

"If Lord Cao likes it, this king happened to bring some good tea on this trip, so you might as well drink it with your adults."

Ren Qixiu put his posture very low, as if he really wanted to gain Cao Yi's trust.

"No merit, the prince's trip is sudden, and Weichen has nothing to give back, so it's better for the prince to bring the gift back."

Cao Yi's refusal was expected, but Ren Qixiu was not in a hurry to let Cao Yi accept the gift in an instant, he said to Cao Yi instead:

"I didn't expect the furnishings here to be so simple, it's really low-key."

"When I got to the door and saw that there was no plaque, I thought that I had come by mistake. Ha ha. ”

"Xiaguan is just a minor official in Beijing, and Prince Ning loves him." Cao Yi's tone was the same as Ren Qixiu's just now, both of them were lowering their value, but in the face of Ren Qixiu's overtures, Cao Yi was still unmoved.

After sitting here for a while, Ren Qixiu insisted on keeping what he brought, but Cao Yi's refusal did not mean to let go at all.

In the end, Ren Qixiu still came here and went back.

Shuyin could obviously notice that when Ren Qixiu got into the carriage, he was still smiling and saying to Cao Yi that he would meet again next time, and the next second, the smile on the corner of his mouth fell, and Ren Qixiu's unhappiness at the moment was very obvious.

"Lord Wang..."

"Let's go, go back." Ren Qixiu's voice was no longer as high as it was just now, but it was full of indifference at the moment.

Watching Prince Ning's team go farther and farther, the young man who had just led the way said to Cao Yi at this moment:

"Prince Ning is afraid that he will be displeased this time."

"Why should I bother with him?" Cao Yi's words were full of contempt, and he turned around and was about to go back, when he asked the young man again:

"Is the news out?"

"Hmm." The boy nodded affirmatively:

"Prince Ning is already in a big position today, presumably the prince will receive the news by the afternoon at the latest."

"It depends on the prince's legs and feet, and the profit is not good." The door of Cao Yi's mansion slowly closed, and the bustle that had just been momentary was quiet again.

Ren Tingyou's side, sure enough, he received the news immediately.

"Oh, really?" Ren Tingyou didn't expect that this Ren Qi Xiu would be able to find Cao Yi's mansion one step ahead of him, and take the initiative to visit.

However, it is said that Ren Qixiu's deflated appearance made him very happy.

"I don't look at my own background, I think my father has some appreciation these days, so he takes humiliation on himself like this, he really deserves it." That's right, in Ren Tingyou's opinion, Ren Qixiu's behavior is just a little too proud.

"So shouldn't we do something about it?" Mo Qiu said very actively at this moment, since he came back that day, he did not reveal anything about saving Cao Yi to Ren Tingyou.

So much so that Ren Tingyou is still in the dark, thinking that his people just haven't found a way to get close to Cao Yi.

"Nature can't be left behind." Ren Tingyou is very sure of his victory at this moment.

Anyway, even if it was because Cao Yi saved himself before, after Cao Yi's mansion was publicized this time, it would be a little unreasonable if he didn't send some gifts to the past.

Although Ren Tingyou originally wanted to visit in person, but his current physical condition did not allow it, it was better to send some Eastern Evil, whether Cao Yi accepted it or not, it was not a shame for him.

"Yes." After this task, Mo Qiu went to prepare.

Sure enough, in the afternoon of the same day, in front of Cao Yi's mansion, Mo Qiu appeared holding the prince's token.

"Master Cao, we meet again." Mo Qiu looked at Cao Yi at the moment, and seemed to be very familiar, and Cao Yi didn't say anything, so he introduced Mo Qiu into the hall.

This time, Cao Yi did not refuse the gift sent by Mo Qiu on behalf of Ren Tingyou.

Instead, I just took it.

Such news reached the ears of Ren Qixiu, who was very concerned about Ren Tingyou's every move, and the anger in his heart became even more obvious, this Cao Yi shirked his gift in every way, and for this Ren Tingyou, he was happy to receive it, is it really because from the beginning, in the matter between himself and Cheng Rang, it was already destined that Cao Yi would not be submissive to himself, and Cao Yi just saved Ren Tingyou's life, so he had to serve Ren Tingyou.

Cao Yi is really important to speak in front of the emperor, so much so that in Ren Qixiu's opinion, if he can't get it, then he doesn't mind destroying Cao Yi directly.

It's a pity that before this idea could be put into practice, there was another accident in the palace.

"Prince Ning, the emperor has fainted!" It was the same situation as last time, but now, looking at the person who was reporting with a much more anxious look, Ren Qixiu's heart suddenly had an ominous premonition at this moment.

After hurriedly explaining that the cardinal voice saw the opportunity to act, Ren Qixiu hurriedly rushed to the palace, and Ren Tingyou, who had not had time to be happy for a long time in the prince's palace, also received the news that the emperor was sick, and he was still in a wheelchair at the moment, and finally walked out of the gate of the prince's palace for the first time in this half a month.

It was already completely winter, and the cold wind outside really made Ren Tingyou shiver.

After all, when his body was still recovering from serious injuries, it was not as good as before, and now Ren Tingyou looked at it, and he was really weak.

"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Father-in-law Hao was at the door of the room at the moment, and when he saw Ren Tingyou coming, he was also slightly relieved.

"How's my father?" Ren Tingyou didn't have time to ask anything else, but just focused directly on the key points.

"The prince is still inside, just now the emperor approved the fold, and suddenly coughed up blood and fainted, it looks so scary." Father-in-law Hao patted his chest, and seemed to be quite frightened.

"Where's the Queen?" Ren Tingyou, as the representative of the prince, came in a wheelchair at the moment, but he didn't see the queen Li Nian.

"The queen mother is already accompanying the emperor inside." With Hao's father-in-law's words, Ren Tingyou looked at it and relaxed a little.

"Then Prince Ben is still waiting here." Li Nian was inside, and it was not convenient for Ren Tingyou to go in.

"The prince might as well go into the inner hall, it's too cold outside." Mo Qiu did not refuse, Ren Tingyou did not speak, Hao Gonggong took the meaning of their acquiescence, and led Ren Tingyou into the inner hall of the emperor's bedroom, separated by a screen, the imperial doctor was taking the emperor's pulse.

"Imperial Doctor, what's wrong with the emperor?" Li Nian's voice at the moment sounded quite solemn, but her brows were tightly locked, Ren Xilin was sick a few days ago, and she was tossed enough, but she didn't expect that the emperor was so sick so suddenly, even Li Nian couldn't help but wonder if someone had harmed the emperor.

"The emperor has become ill from hard work, and next, please have a good rest." The imperial doctor gave a partial answer, this is not a serious illness, but it should not be underestimated, this is related to the emperor's foundation, and Li Nian does not dare to slack off now.

I had to say:

"Please also ask the imperial doctor to take care of it, as for the emperor's side, the palace will also persuade from time to time."

"Then Xia Guan, let's go to decoction first." After the imperial doctor retired, someone hurriedly reported to the cardinal voice, and the crown prince Ren Tingyou was waiting outside the screen.

"Let the prince come in." Li Nian said.

"Sons and daughters, see the queen mother." Although the two are about the same age, the queen is still the queen after all, and even if Ren Tingyou has more reluctance in his heart, he still has to salute.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is exempt." Li Nian looked at Ren Tingyou's pale face at the moment because of the rush just now, and said with concern:

"The prince still remembers the emperor so much, he is really a filial son."

The emperor is still in a coma at the moment, but Ren Tingyou doesn't want to show anyone to Li Nian here.

just nodded at Li Nian:

"I don't know when my father will wake up."

Li Nian conveyed the words of the imperial physician to Ren Tingyou:

"It's only half an hour, and I should wake up."

At this time, Li Nian, who had just finished speaking, heard a report from the outside again, saying that Prince Ning and the Eighth Prince had also arrived at the gate of the palace.

"Let's pass it all in." I didn't expect these two people to arrive at the palace gate at the same time so coincidentally, but today, the rare Ren Qixiu did not take the initiative to provoke Cheng Rang, but hurried all the way to the emperor's bedroom.

Ren Qixiu is in front, and Cheng Rang is behind.

Both of them saluted Li Nian and then sat down.

At present, the most powerful people in the former dynasty and the harem are all guarding the emperor's hospital bed at the moment, and the palace people have to be careful to serve.

didn't dare to wake up the emperor, except for Li Nian who fed the comatose emperor once, several people had been silently waiting for the moment when the emperor woke up.
