After Li Haochen finished speaking, he looked at Li Jing expectantly, hoping to get an answer from Li Jing's mouth. However, to Li Haochen's disappointment, Li Jing did not answer his words, but pointed at him, and then pointed at himself, "Haochen, do you understand?" ”

Li Haochen was very anxious about Li Jing still playing dumb riddles with him at this time, but after a little pondering, he understood that Li Jing was asking him to pretend to be sick and shirk it.

Li Haochen, who figured it out, nodded and said, "Haochen understands!" Master Xie points out the mysteries! Saying that, he gave Li Jing a deep salute, and Li Haochen behaved like this, obviously accepting Li Jing's suggestion.

Li Jing saw that Li Haochen had agreed with his method, so he nodded with a smile, revealing a teachable expression, and nodded very satisfied with Li Haochen. If you want to say why Li Haochen compromised so quickly, there is no other reason, it is just because of Li Jing's sentence "The people in the East Palace have been in close contact with the Qi Palace's Mansion recently." This sentence clearly illustrates two points, the first is that the crown prince and the king of Qi have entered and have a close relationship. The second is that King Qi won the handsome this time, and there is the shadow of the prince behind him. Although Li Haochen, who has seen Li Chengzong twice, does not think that Li Chengzong will have such a high-end wrist, but it is inevitable that there will be a master in front of the prince, if he still doesn't know how to back down and bump into it, combined with the forces of Li Chengzong and Li Yuanji, I'm afraid he will really be very passive. Rather than this, Li Haochen would rather choose to avoid the edge for the time being and wait for the opportunity.

The master and apprentice hadn't seen each other for a long time, so they talked about some family things, and Li Haochen said goodbye and left Li Jing's Weiguo Mansion.

Since Li Haochen returned to his Hou Mansion from Li Jing's mansion that day, he has lived in the inner courtyard for a long time, has not seen anyone, and asked Lu Pingting to let out a message, saying that he is sick and cannot see guests.

Li Haochen's illness soon alarmed the emperor Li Jiancheng, originally since Li Jiancheng decided to adopt Li Haochen's middle strategy, he stepped up his discussions in the DPRK and China on the matter of sending troops, after all, "Sun Tzu's Art of War" cloud "soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, the way of survival, must not be ignored!" "Although Li Jiancheng is a little heavy on literature and light on military force, he also knows this, and it is indispensable to discuss it before using troops.

But at this time, the news that Li Haochen was seriously ill came, and Li Jiancheng immediately stopped discussing with these courtiers, and hurriedly came out of the palace to visit Li Haochen's condition.

On the way to Emperor Li Jiancheng's Mansion in Lecheng, Li Haochen, who was bored in the inner courtyard of the mansion, received the news in advance. The reason why Li Haochen was able to receive the news so quickly was that he knew that Li Jiancheng had already decided to let him take command of the expedition, and at this moment he was sick, Li Jiancheng would definitely come to visit. Therefore, the prescient Li Haochen had already arranged people, as soon as Li Jiancheng left the palace, he would quickly report to him, and he would prepare early.

After receiving the news that Li Jiancheng was out of the palace, Li Haochen hurriedly called Lu Pingting, whispered a few words to Lu Pingting, and hurriedly took off his clothes, changed the quilt and lay on the bed.

Half a quarter of an hour had passed, and Li Haochen heard a voice from the mansion, "Your Majesty has arrived!" ”

Li Haochen didn't get up to greet Li Jiancheng, he was pretending to be sick at the moment, so he naturally wanted to pretend to be a little bit, so he lay on the bed with anxiety in his heart and didn't move.

Li Haochen at this moment, to say that he is not nervous in his heart, it is definitely a lie, he knows deeply that he is now deceiving Li Jiancheng, deceiving the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, it is the crime of deceiving the king! However, Li Haochen also knew that the current marshal dispute was a whirlpool, and if he was not careful, he would be crushed, and he had to retreat bravely, and there was no way to do so, so he sighed secretly in his heart, "Your Majesty, Haochen is afraid that he will disappoint you this time, but Haochen has no choice!" After a sigh in his heart, Li Haochen regained his peace in his heart and waited for Li Jiancheng to walk into the room.

In a moment's time, Li Haochen heard the sound of eager footsteps outside the door, and then saw Li Jiancheng walking into the room quickly, and arrived at Li Haochen's bed in a few steps.

Seeing that Li Haochen's eyes were closed at this moment, his face was pale, and even his lips lost their blood, Li Jiancheng was shocked when he saw Li Haochen's state, and he didn't come to say anything to Li Haochen, so he shouted, "Where is the imperial doctor?" Hurry up and wait for treatment in Lecheng! If you can't cure Lecheng, I will ask you! ”

After Li Jiancheng's words were finished, Li Haochen opened his eyes with difficulty, as if he had just seen Li Jiancheng, and hurriedly got up with difficulty, and said with difficulty, "Minister, I don't know if Your Majesty is coming, the minister is far away and deserves death, and the minister will see Your Majesty!" ”

Li Haochen's words were difficult to finish, but the person was pressed on the bed by Li Jiancheng, Li Jiancheng frowned and said, "Haochen, you are sick, these false gifts will be waived!" I saw that you were fine a few days ago, why did you suddenly get so sick? ”

Li Haochen didn't speak yet, and the housekeeper on the side hurriedly said, "Back to Your Majesty, the villain has already found Lang Zhong to treat my family, Lang Zhong said that my family, maybe after returning to Beijing from Henan Road, it was difficult to adapt to the climate of the capital for a while, and occasionally felt cold, and his heart was depressed, so he couldn't afford to be sick, Lang Zhong said that my family's adult This situation can only be treated with medicine for a few months to get better." ”

After the housekeeper's words were finished, Li Jiancheng's brows were twisted into a Sichuan shape, but Li Jiancheng did not blame the housekeeper for his words, but looked at the imperial doctor who came with him again. Seeing the emperor looking at him, he hurriedly took two steps forward, and arched his hand at Li Jiancheng and said, "Your Majesty, Rongchen will take the pulse of the Hou Ye first!" ”

Li Jiancheng didn't speak, but nodded with a solemn expression, and the imperial doctor hurriedly took a few steps forward, came to Li Haochen, and whispered to Li Haochen, "Please also ask Hou Ye to stretch out his hand and let the lower official cut the pulse for Hou Ye!" ”

Li Haochen said in a weak voice: "There is an imperial doctor!" As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand.

The imperial doctor opened his medicine box, took out the pulse pillow and put it under Li Haochen's outstretched hand, and began to diagnose the pulse, but the imperial doctor touched Li Haochen's pulse for a while, but the more he touched it, the tighter his brows wrinkled, and the sweat on his forehead was obvious, which made Lu Pingting, who knew the inside story on the side, nervous for no reason. After all, deceiving the current emperor of the Tang Dynasty is definitely an old birthday star who hangs himself for a long time, although Lu Pingting is very puzzled by Li Haochen's approach, but she has always been a husband and wife for Li Haochen, so she didn't say anything, but everything cooperated with Li Haochen.

After a cup of tea, the imperial physician finally withdrew his hand to probe the pulse, and said in surprise, "Strange thing, strange thing, really strange thing!" How so! ”
