"Ahem——, thorny, I haven't seen you for years, and you look good."

Li Hong reclined on the low couch near the window and pointed to the opposite position.

Without any false courtesy, Li Yujing walked over, sat down with a big grin, and threw two pieces of charcoal into the wind stove on the low table between the two.

There was a slight gurgling sound in the kettle, and it seemed that it had been boiling for a while.

Each of the four corners of the inner sanctum lit a furnace of benzoin, and a strong smell lingered in it.

He hesitated for a moment, then spoke: "Your Highness doesn't look very good, but there have been ...... lately Coughing up blood? ”

Li Hong showed a wry smile, covered his mouth and nose with a silk handkerchief, and coughed a few more times, "Thorny, you shouldn't be a general, you should be a doctor." Both the British government and your grandfather's family have a lot of education, and if you were a doctor, you would be able to save thousands of patients. ”

It's afternoon now, and he has the best "complexion" at this time of the day, but he can't hide it from Li Yu's eyes. He is much more sick than he was ten years ago, and he is even coughing up blood.

Hearing his answer, Li Yu was slightly stunned, lowered his head and said, "No matter how well you learn, you can't cure the scab." ”

Back then, he was young and fearless, collected a few "secret recipes", and delusionally hoped that he could heal Li Hong, but it almost killed him.

"Shhhh

Li Hong waved his hand at him, "Some secrets have to be kept for a lifetime." ”

The same posture, the same words, through his thin fingertips, Li Yu seems to have traveled through time and space, and saw his childhood best friend.

Time passes, what cannot be said, never what can be said......

Shocked in his heart, he immediately put away his messy thoughts and said seriously: "The conditioning of the scab is the foundation of consolidating the foundation and cultivating the yuan. Now that the summer heat has not disappeared, licorice and bitter ginseng should be put in sencha to moisten the lungs and clear the fire, relieve cough and phlegm. ”

"Dr. Li is right-"

Li Hong smiled and opened the drawer of the low table, took out a medicine bag and threw it into the kettle, "Xiaozhou will go to Dr. Sun's house the next day, and he will almost empty the family funds he has saved as a medicine king for decades." ”

Taking the tea, he pressed the medicine bag into the tea, and Li Yu said casually: "It can be seen that she is very attentive to Her Royal Highness." ”

"Not to mention being attentive and supporting each other for ten years, she is the most important person in the world to me." Li Hong smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said slowly: "Ten years ago, you were sent to Mobei, and I thought I was alone. Unexpectedly, on that very day, I saw her in the crowd - trembling and reviewing the etiquette of the audience, and pretending to be a boy's little girl. ”

Li Yu held the tea in his hand, and the speed of stirring increased significantly.

It turned out that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did know, so he and Xiaozhou ......

Then I took her away. We played together in the Imperial Garden, and I took her to see the ant nest you found, and she picked a impatiens to dye my nails red. So I left her and let her continue to accompany me in your place and live together in this cage. ”

Looking at his hands, Li Hong was full of thoughts.

It's good to have memories, all I remember are some happy and warm pasts, and the darkness seems to have been left behind to another person.

"Your Highness is laughing again, you are the future prince, and no one can imprison you." Li Yu said lightly.

The fish envy the bird flying in the sky, and the bird envy the fish swimming in the shallow bottom, how can there be a perfect thing in the world? Even if he is subject to some restrictions, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is well-fed and pampered, and will eventually become the king of a country, and when he was a child, he never understood where Li Hong's melancholy and worries came from.

Ten years later, he seems to understand something......

When a person cannot choose for himself, he is the most difficult person in the world.

Li Hong took the tea from him, skimmed off the foam in the kettle, and put out two light brown "eternal".

"Jingzhao Yin's mansion is good, stay away from court disputes." He said casually.

Li Yu smiled heartily: "Ten years of exile, return to Chang'an." Even if I am asked to be a guard at the city gate, I will be grateful to Dade! ”

"But you took advantage of the boat."

Li Hong raised his eyes to look at him, his gaze meaningful.

Just learned that Li Yu had joined the army as a judicial officer in Jingzhao Yin Mansion, and he was quite different. After thinking about it carefully, I realized that things are not so simple.

Li Yu raised his eyebrows and took a shallow sip.

The bitterness of the two unfused ways of tea and ginseng hit together, making him frown. No wonder Li Hong sencha doesn't put medicine, it turns out to be such a strange taste.

"Your Highness, where does this begin?"

His attitude was somewhat ambiguous, neither admitting nor denying it.

"You lied to her—"

Looking into his eyes, Li Hong continued: "It was not the queen mother who transferred you back from Mobei at all, but my father and emperor...... You guessed it! The list provided by the media in charge of Jingzhao Yin Mansion, except for the Su family, almost all of them are closely related to the clan, and they should not be wrong with their eyes closed. Therefore, the relationship between the fifth prince of the British government and the third lady of the Su family is simply a calculation by you, and the purpose is to become an 'abandoned son'. Because of family grievances, you refuse to serve the royal family. ”

"If you want to say 'calculation', you have to be honest."

Li Yu suddenly sat upright, "The intention comes from one of the two saints, and the chance to guess right and wrong is half right...... I guessed wrong at first, but my attitude never changed. Judging from the results, it was indeed His Majesty's actions to transfer me back to Beijing, and my choice of the daughter of Lord Su Liangji also showed my unchanging attitude. ”

Before talking to him, Li Hong had made a variety of assumptions, thinking that he would either deny it or defend himself, but he didn't expect him to admit it generously and conveniently - from beginning to end, he never thought of being loyal to the royal family.

If the two saints had to choose one of them, Li Yu's only choice was the queen mother's side. It's a pity that it wasn't the queen mother who transferred him back, and his loyalty was not seen by her, so he was placed in an inconspicuous position in Jingzhao Yin Mansion.

Li Yu has not only been brilliant since he was a child, but also brave and decisive, as long as it is what he wants to do, he will do everything he can.

Back then, he only read a few medical books with Lao Guogong, and he wanted to cure the disease that the doctors were helpless about. So, at a young age, he wandered in the mixed market, mingling with vendors and gangsters from all over the world, and he really found a few secret techniques. And what he was even more daring was that he only tried it on the servants around him, and then dared to use it directly on the body of the prince of a country.

"Thorny, you're too! Ahem——, you have already thought about it, if the queen mother wants to use you, you will happily use it for her; If your father wants to use you, you can't avoid it. Therefore, as long as the person who enters into a marriage contract with you is Miss Su Jiasan, no matter which of them takes a fancy to you, you can fulfill your wish...... Ahem - ahem——, you selfish bastard! ”

Li Hong had a fever, and a strange blood color appeared on his face.

Looking at his appearance, Li Yu was a little nervous. Now that I am coughing up blood, the situation is already quite bad.

"Your Highness, please Xuan Taiyi!"

Li Hong didn't agree, but looked at him with a frown, "The British government is talking about it, it's a big matter." Miss Su San was originally unknown, but now the inner court and the outer court will notice her. Have you ever wondered how you're going to end up in the future? ”

"Your Highness—"

Li Yu was a little anxious, "You know, I never do anything against my will. ”
