When King Hui's concubine Jian Fang fell ill, and when King Hui went to the border to mediate and disappeared, Xue Huai went deeper into this turmoil step by step until now pretending to be King Hui to order the army of the six cities - all because King Hui said before going to the border: "The government order, the government army, and the confidant officials who can mobilize the surrounding armies - all the manpower, material and financial resources that the king can mobilize can be given the same authority." ”

"But this king's decree cannot be said to be known to Xue Huai." King Hui finally advised.

When Jin Shitong heard this order, he couldn't help but ask the reason for it, because judging from his many years of experience in serving King Hui, King Hui would never tell him the true reason. He had a lot of speculations about Xue Huai's identity, and even doubted whether Xue Huai would be the illegitimate son of King Hui, but with King Hui's character and his status in Lanxi, it was easy to recognize an illegitimate child, and later he doubted whether Xue Huai was the son of King Hui's former friend, but this friend was abandoned by the imperial court, and even his son was demoted to a monk, but he knocked on the side and secretly verified, but there was no tangible evidence.

The orders Chang Yu heard were not so clear, he was asked to obey and assist Xue Huai during the anti-plague period, and the other instructions came from Jin Shitong's step-by-step arrangement. Chang Yu once suspected that King Hui was not missing but just hidden, otherwise Jin Shitong would not have had the courage to constantly give orders to himself, and even ordered to poison General Guiying this time.

General Guiying, who has made great contributions in Lanxi, should not be alive.

Jin Shitong and Chang Yu both had their own speculations, but they did not mention each other. has worked together by King Hui's side for many years, although one is a confidant strategist in charge of documents and strategies, and the other is a medical officer who specializes in the safety and health of everyone in the house, but both of them know very well that King Hui is most afraid of speculation and self-smuggling, so they have a tacit understanding not to ask and not to talk about it, but to carry it out.

So at this time, Chang Yu faced Xue Huai's questioning, and could only answer: "I can't answer your question, because I don't know." If you want to ask, ask the prince, if you can find him. ”

His tone was calm like never before.

Xue Huai narrowed his eyes slightly, he knew that he couldn't ask anything, but he still didn't let go of the hand that was pinching Chang Yu's vein, and asked, "Bloody black, how much has it been." ”

Chang Yue looked into Xue Huai's dark, ink-like eyes at this time, and asked, "If I would rather die than say, what are you going to do?" ”

Xue Huai smiled suddenly, just like his usual warm smile, but there was some emotion in his tone that was difficult to distinguish whether it was a threat or a relief, and said: "That's simple, I'll sit here and watch General Yue die, collect her corpse, and chant for her." Whether the Beiting army has invaded the city or is defeated, don't expect me to take a step in this room. ”

After speaking, Xue Huai let go of his hand, sat down again to boil the medicine, looked at the medicine stove and the fire seriously, and no longer looked at Chang Yu.

Chang Yupestle was in a dilemma for a while, but after all, he didn't say anything and went out.

Xue Huai closed his eyes heavily the moment he left, and when he opened his eyes again, his eyes were filled with worry. He got up and walked to Yue Tang's side, and said softly, "General Yue, I plan to give you some strong medicine, and I may be able to save you with a fight." If you can't ......" He squatted on the edge of the bed, staring at Yue Tang's side face, and said in a low but firm voice, "I am willing to pay for my life." ”

In the depths of King Hui's mansion, Chang Yue looked at Jin Shitong anxiously, Jin Shitong's expression did not change, and he only asked: "In your opinion, what does he mean to this General Yue?" ”

Chang Yu pondered for a moment and said: "If he is an ordinary man, this must be the love of men and women, but he is already a monk with a very high level of cultivation and concentration, maybe it is the friendship of sharing hardships. ”

Jin Shitong smiled slightly: "Cultivation is profound—how can you see it?" ”

Chang Yu: "When he travels, he often has women pestering him, and there are women who are seriously injured and have no family to rely on, or who are treated in the mountains, and often see most of their bare skin, but he has never been moved. ”

Jin Shitong: "How do you know that it hasn't been moved?" ”

Chang Yu: "In the past, I overheard the old things when King Hui asked, and then I saw it with my own eyes - when treating patients in Lanxi, the woman was drowning in the summer, and she was already thinly dressed, and after drowning, she was so wet that she could see everything, and even if she closed her eyes, she could see that she was extremely beautiful, much more beautiful than this General Yue, but Xue Huai had treated her for two or three days, and there was no wave in her eyes, and even when the woman woke up, she hugged his arm and wept eagerly, he just gently broke away from the woman's hand and told some precautions, Left the medicine room and left. ”

"What's more, this General Yue ......" Chang Yue whispered a little embarrassedly, "There are a lot of scars on his body, and he really doesn't look like a man can arouse his interest......
