"My son is thirsty." I glared at him with a smirk, "Very thirsty." ”

Sun Hu raised his eyebrows, exaggerated his hand, and said, "The little one will go to the kitchen to serve tea to the son." With that, he slipped out of the room in the blink of an eye.

"It's really enviable that adults can have such subordinates." The Imperial Physician laughed, "My Lord, should this copper coin be wrapped with a bandage, or should it be taken off first?" ”

I glanced at the peace money stained with my blood and said, "Let's wrap it up together." ”

"Yes." The imperial doctor answered, and bandaged me.

After a while, I saw that the imperial doctor had stopped bandaging and was about to pack up the medicine box, so I asked, "Doctor Fu, you are the senior of the Tai Hospital, do you know what kind of medicine 'Frost Leaf Red' is?" ”

Imperial Physician Fu thought for a moment and said, "Xiaguan has never heard of this medicine. ”

"Oh." I was a little disappointed.

"However, there are many medical books in the Tai Hospital, and there are also rare ancient books in the collection, if the adults want to know the 'frost leaf red' thing, don't wait for the end of this trip to Jiangnan, and then inform the adults after the Tai Hospital carefully checks it." Fu Taiyi said.

I nodded, "That's all." ”

Doctor Fu packed up his things, and then instructed me, "Adults should pay attention to their wrists during this time, do not touch heavy things, and do not touch the water with wounds. ”

As soon as I was about to respond, Sun Hu came back with a tea tray. After he heard Imperial Doctor Fu say these words, he followed up and said, "What the Imperial Doctor said, can you hear clearly, Childe?" Don't do it now and then forget about it. ”

This kid really doesn't know how to save some face for his master, and he's becoming more and more a jerk!

"My son's memory has always been very good." After I finished speaking indignantly, I got up and was about to take the tea tray brought by Sun Hu.

Sun Hu frowned, flashed me sideways, and put the tea tray on the table.

I was stunned and sat back down in embarrassment.

Imperial Doctor Fu has a good relationship with me, so he naturally knows my temperament, and he didn't persuade me to do anything else, but said, "My lord is a smart person, the pros and cons must be clear, and the lower officials will go down to decoct the medicine first." ”

After Doctor Fu finished speaking, he picked up the medicine box and retreated.

"Childe, don't you think about how His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will deal with it when he wakes up?" Sun Hu put a blue porcelain cup in my hand, picked up the teapot and poured tea for me, the tea mist spread out with the flow of air, misty and erratic.

I coughed lightly, first moistened my throat with tea, and then sighed, "He is probably going to punish Lu Ding." ”

"Why?" Sun Hu was puzzled: "My subordinates think that Your Highness should hold you accountable for today's assassination." ”

I put down the teacup, shook my head and said, "You still think too shallowly about the thoughts of this emperor's family." ”

Sun Hu looked at me, hoping that I could make this clearer.

Seeing him so serious, I actually felt a little funny.

Standing up, I raised my hand and tapped him on the head.

"It's not early, my son has to rest early according to the doctor's instructions."

Sun Hu's face darkened, and he said, "Son, is this taking revenge on his subordinates?" ”

I nodded calmly, "That's right." ”

"Humph!" Sun Hu's temper came up, and he snorted coldly and left.

"Close the door." I shouted.

"Phew!"

In an instant, the whole world fell silent.

I lay down on the bed, and I was tormented by extreme exhaustion, but I couldn't sleep.

Things to do, really...... Better.

The next day, I was awakened by a chill. It was cold, and I was shivering in my dreams.

"Awake?"

Familiar voice, familiar words, I suddenly thought of the lonely moon hanging high in the Yuju Mountain more than half a year ago.

"Hmm." I was dumbfounded.

Cen Xi frowned and looked at me, and suddenly got up and said to Sun Hu on the side, "Clean up for your master, and come to the East Courtyard after drinking the medicine." ”

Sun Hu didn't dare to say more, and said "yes".

Cen Xi left, and the cold in the air gradually disappeared as he left. I let out a breath and sat up from the bed.

"Childe did it on purpose, right?" Sun Hu was a little speechless.

I motioned to him to close the door with my eyes, and said helplessly, "He is too murderous, and this son can't help it." ”

Sun Hu thought about the cold expression on his Royal Highness the Crown Prince when he rushed to the bed of his sleeping master early this morning, and couldn't help but tremble.

"Childe also dedicated himself to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince yesterday, and His Royal Highness shouldn't be so cold." Sun Hu is unjust for me.

You've dedicated yourself!

I swallowed the bitter medicine in one gulp, took a piece of pastry to cushion my stomach, and took Sun Hu to the East Courtyard.

As soon as I arrived at the junction of the East and West Courtyards, the sound of the leather whip beating the flesh came from inside, followed by a muffled snort of self-restraint.

"This is ......" Sun Hu was shocked.

"He did it." I went inside.

Sun Hu followed me, and when he saw the scene inside, he couldn't help but gasp.

In a large courtyard, more than a dozen guards stood in two rows, their upper clothes were all taken off, and the cold wind of early spring blew by, freezing and biting.

Lu Ding stood behind them, holding a leather whip in his hand, and slammed the guards standing in front of him one after another, not allowing the slightest personal feelings.

The guards who were beaten by him tried desperately to hold back their screams of pain, green tendons bulging out from his forehead, and sweat flowed down with them, along with blood marks.

I didn't say anything, I just stood by and watched.

Above the high hall, Cen Xi didn't make a sound, but he didn't look at these guards, but at me.

Sun Hu actually saw that my expression had changed, but he understood that it was not that the master did not want to intercede for these guards, but that although the master was the prime minister of a country, he could not control the prince's private affairs.

That's right, punishing the guards is only a private matter for the prince.

The whipping continued for a long time, and by the time Lu Ding finished beating the last guard, his eyes were already red.

Kneeling straight in front of Cen Xi, Lu Ding lowered his head.

"Your Highness." He pleaded, "The punishment has ended, and the subordinates beg His Highness to let them go back, and the subordinates are willing to continue the punishment on their behalf." ”

Cen Xi looked coldly at Lu Ding, who was kneeling at his feet, and didn't say a word.

"Hey, what a heavy smell of blood, it's disgusting." I pinched my nose with two fingers and approached with a frown.

"Does Your Highness love to smoke in this smell?" I looked up at him.

Cen Xi squinted at me, then waved his hand and said, "Let them go down to heal." ”

Lu Ding kowtowed, "Your Highness." Then he got up and said to me, "Thank you, sir." ”

"After being settled, I will go to receive the punishment by myself, and the temple does not want to say more." Cen Xi spoke.

Lu Ding saluted in silence and retreated.

"Your Highness, this drama is inevitably too much." I said.

Cen Xi ignored my words and directly ordered Sun Hu behind me, "You go out." ”

Although Sun Hu was my person, he did not dare to challenge the authority of the royal family, so he bowed and bowed, and he withdrew under the signal of my eyes, and closed the door intimately by the way.

Well, I'm the only one facing the coming storm.

"Well, this pastry tastes better than mine." I took a piece of water chestnut cake and swallowed it in my mouth.

Cen Xi glanced at me, got up and handed the teacup in his hand to me.

"Pick it up and swallow it whole, aren't you afraid of choking?"

As soon as his words fell, I choked.

I snatched the teacup from his hand and swallowed it in a big gulp.

"Is it delicious now?" Cen Xi added me another glass of water.

I gulped down the water and shook my head with a bitter face.

"It seems that I only have to eat the defective portion." I sighed.

"Defective? How many rare treasures have your father frequently rewarded, which is the name of the prince of Wei Yinghou's mansion, where else can you use the defective products? ”

"You can't say that." I said, "As the saying goes, money must be used on the blade, and the province should still be saved, otherwise how can I feed my family?" ”

"Crooked!" Cen Xi said.

I suddenly stopped talking, in fact, since I arrived in the East Courtyard, this nonsense should have ended.

Cen Xi is willing to listen to my nonsense, but he is just waiting for me to take the initiative to ask for sin.

"I ......"

Cen Xi stood in front of me, waiting for me to continue.

Lowering my eyes slightly, I pursed my lips.

"And next time, I'll do it anyway." I looked up at him.

The raging anger was suppressed and burning in his eyes, but he only said one word lightly: "Okay." ”

"You are the future of Qinguo, and you have more than your life on your hands." I tried to explain that "the Qi State has always been eyeing the Qin State, with the shrewd and wise Emperor Qi in the court, and the cunning and changeable Gu Yuancheng in the back, but the capable and talented people of our Qin State still lack experience, and there is also a lack of someone who can truly lead them." ”

"Cen Xi, don't forget, although the emperor has not been on the throne for a long time, it is already the year of the Mandate of Heaven."

"Presumptuous!" Cen Xi waved his sleeves, and the cold meaning spread at once.

I lifted my clothes and knelt down in front of him.

The king is the king, the minister is the minister, I have always been very clear, but sometimes Cen Xi can't see it.

"Shen Qingzhi, don't you want to live anymore!" Cen Xi shouted.

I leaned over and said, "Yesterday's assassination, Wei Chen didn't know about it in advance, and he didn't condone his subordinates to do such things. ”

Cen Xi took a deep breath and paced from side to side with his hands in his hands, he tried to let his anger down, and finally he stopped to look at me.

"Do you have to protect Sun Hu? Even if he's just an eyeliner sent to you by your father? ”

I lowered my eyebrows, "Yes." ”

"Okay, good, I'll fulfill you." Cen Xi laughed angrily, he nodded again and again, and then walked straight to the door and opened the door.

He turned to look at me coldly, pointed to the door and said, "You go now, go to the capital, you are not allowed to stay in Jiangnan anymore, this palace orders you, take your subordinates and the imperial doctor together, leave now!" ”

I looked up at him in amazement, completely unable to believe that he would be so adamant about driving me away.

"The emperor's decree has been issued and cannot be changed!" I shook my head and said stiffly.

Cen Xi didn't eat me, he threatened in a cold voice, "If you don't leave, this hall will let your father's holy decree take away your subordinates, Shen Qingzhi, you think clearly." ”

I was in a hurry, stood up and rushed to him.

"The identity of those masked people is still unknown, since they know the identities of you and me, they may not know where you live now, you let me leave at this time, are you crazy?"
