Back at home, sleepless until dawn.

I couldn't sleep, and I figured out how to answer Wei Tian's inquiry.

For example, if he asked me and Qin Buxian what we were doing when we suddenly went to Nanguo Mansion. This king said that he and Qin Buxian have had a lot of contradictions since they got married, and they thought that going out for a walk might ease the contradictions between the two sides, isn't it the custom of newlywed Yan'er taking his wife out for a walk in some countries, I borrowed it, and maybe I could bring an unborn son back in the end.

For example, if he asked me why I left the imperial capital with Qin Buxian, I was the only one who came back in the end. The king replied, on the way to the south this time, Qin Buxian fell in love with another son, and ran away with others, I woke up from sleep, and found that she had disappeared without a trace. If Wei Tian thinks this answer is a bit ridiculous, then I can immediately cry to him and express my grievances and anger at being cuckolded. This king has no other skills, and he thinks he can cultivate the ability to lie without panting and blind and his legs are not weak.

For example, if he notices that my wrench is missing, he asks me where I have gone. This king said that the wrench was stolen by Qin Buxian, and by the way, my mother doesn't like to kill and see blood, if the imperial brother sends someone to find it for me, please be sure to bring a live mouth, and after I take off the wrench, I will ask the imperial brother to kill her.

When I think about it like this, I feel more confident and stable in the wind.

At the time of Chen, Zhong Qi Palace, civil and military officials saw Wei Tian enter the hall, kneeling and bowing long live.

The king pricked up his ears and waited for Wei Tian to ask.

But the imaginable scenario didn't happen, Wei Tian ...... When he saw me, he only said casually: "Oh, His Royal Highness King Chong'an has come to court." Zhong Aiqing is flat. ”

It's a statement, not a question.

I stood up with everyone, bowed my head and replied respectfully: "Brother Xie Huang is worried, and the minister is here." He looked up at him, but this glance shocked the king.

Wei Tian ...... Why did he age so fast?!

The skin on the neck is visibly wrinkled, the corners of the lips and eyes are full of horizontal lines, the forehead is full of wrinkles, there are many brown scars on the forehead, and as for the hair, half of it is gray.

The last time I saw Wei Tian was in August, when he confronted Lu Shuyuan's court, he was not yet half old, and the whole person was in the prime of his forties, arrogant, sharp and strong, with the majesty of the emperor's freedom. But at this moment, he actually let me see the feeling of the waning days and the wind and candles......

"Ahem, cough, cough......" There was a violent coughing sound from the dragon chair, which also pulled the king back from the shock. The father-in-law beside Wei Tian hurriedly stepped forward to stroke his back for him, and then picked up the teacup and handed it to him, he really slowed down for a while before he recovered.

No one in the hall dared to ask about his condition, for fear of touching Wei Tian's scales.

In the end, it was Wei Tian who spoke: "All the secretaries are crying and facing up, are they coming to see me off in advance?" ”

The ministers hurriedly knelt down, bowed their heads and shouted: "The ministers should die, my emperor's life and Tianqi!" ”

Wei Tian raised his hand, paused, and finally patted the dragon case, and forced a little strength to say: "It's all for me, I'm just infected with the wind and cold." He turned his head to look at the empty place above the court, and said with a little disappointment, "Zhao Mengqing, Gao Shu, and Li Jingtang have all asked for leave and won't go to the court......"

The father-in-law beside him hurriedly replied: "These three adults have asked for leave, Lord Gao's asthma attack said that he would come to the court when his condition is stable, Lord Li injured his foot and couldn't walk and took half a month off, Lord Zhao ......"

"What's wrong with Zhao Mengqing?" Wei Tian frowned, "What reason do you say, since he dares to ask for leave with that kind of reason that people and gods are angry, you don't have to worry about his face, say it for everyone." ”

The father-in-law rubbed the corners of his clothes in embarrassment, and his face was as sad as swallowing a bitter date: "Lord Zhao said that he saw a girl in the Qinglou a few days ago, and spent a lot of money to be a guest of the curtain, but when he entered the tent, he found that the girl was a man. Lord Zhao felt that he had been hurt by his feelings, and he needed to recuperate for a year and a half before he could continue to go to court. ”

Zhao Mengqing's reason is unique in the world, and in terms of shamelessness, this king is not even worthy of lifting shoes for him.

As the king expected, Wei Tian was furious when he heard this reason, and opened his mouth to scold the word "ridiculous", the breath in his lungs was unsteady, and he coughed violently.

Several times, when I heard the bloody tremor in his heart, I thought that he might be unstable and immediately collapsed and ascended to heaven.

I repeatedly confirmed whether my inner thoughts after seeing Wei Tian become what he is now, whether he gloated and was happy, but in the end, I found that the impulses overflowing in my heart were not because of joy, but-

Surprise, worry and deep trepidation.

It's strange to say, it's clear that this king has been looking forward to Wei Tian's death, so it's best not to do it myself. But now this bloodless result is one step away from me, but I feel that the result ahead makes me worry and sad, and I even ...... Don't dare to look at him more.

On both sides of the main hall, there were several fathers-in-law, holding medicine bowls, holding candied fruits, and silk handkerchiefs, serving beside Wei Tian together, and after a quarter of an hour, Wei Tian's complexion eased slightly.

He leaned back on the dragon chair, waved his hand tremblingly, put aside the eunuch who was serving beside him, and said to the officials in the hall with a long sigh: "I am sick this time, I wanted to meet with you Aiqing again today, talk to each other, and then give yourself a vacation, so that you can recuperate with peace of mind." It just so happened that King Chong'an, who had been recuperating from his illness a month ago, also returned, and I thought that this time the ministers in the Zhongqi Palace should be complete. But I didn't think about it, I came here and there was no that," his eyes moved to the positions of Gao Shu Li Jingtang and Zhao Mengqing in a daze, and his eyebrows were silent for a moment, "Alas, punish each of these three people to give me a recital to ask for guilt." ”

The father-in-law beside him hurriedly received the decree and said that he would send someone to convey it today.

Lord Han, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, who was not far away, stepped forward and knelt down and said, "Please also ask the emperor to take care of the dragon body for my Dajin Jiangshan Sheji!" ”

So the ministers Xu Zheng sincerely and pretended to kneel down, "Please take care of the dragon's body!" ”

Wei Tian twisted his eyebrows and sighed: "Why are you kneeling again?" Get up...... I just said, I want to ask for leave to recuperate, this leave, as short as a month or as long as half a year, from today onwards, big and small things inside and outside the court are troublesome to the public Aiqing, every month everyone gives me a note to talk about what they have done this month, and hand it over to Yang Gonggong to forward to me. Unless things get to the point of urgency, don't bother me to recuperate. ”

"Your Servants obey—"

Wei Tian lowered his eyelids, covering the sorrow under his eyes, "Retreat from the court," when he got up, his figure was stunned, he turned his head to look at the king standing in the main hall, and beckoned, "King Chong'an stays and accompanies me for lunch." ”

"Yes."

This is probably the most unpalatable lunch that this king has ever eaten in his life.

It's not that the dishes are unpalatable, but the person on the other side makes this king even eat a mouthful of food in his throat, and it is difficult to swallow.

Today in the hall, I had never looked at him so closely, and I still felt that he was drooping, and now that he was sitting across from me, I saw that his hand holding the chopsticks was shaking, and that it took a long time to pick up the dishes on his plate, and there was a rapid and dull sound in his chest with his breathing, because the distance became clear and audible.

I was really silent for a long time, picked up the crispy croquette that he had just tried his best to pick up, and put it in his bowl, I wanted to lower my head and continue to pick up the rice, but I still didn't hold back, looked at him, and said abruptly: "Brother Huang...... How did it come to this? ”

Wei Tian put down the chopsticks in his hand, slowly raised his head, and said with a wry smile: "It's just that it's infected with the wind cold." ”

I knew he wouldn't tell me the truth, but I continued to ask, "Has the Imperial Doctor seen it, what prescription has been prescribed, and has he said when he will be cured?" ”

These questions seemed so difficult for him that he sat for a long time to figure out how to answer them, even though the German answer was incorrect: "My brother...... Until now, you're the only one who is so nervous. ”

"Today, I see that other adults are also very concerned about the body of the imperial brother."

Wei Tian shook his head and sighed, as if he was in late autumn: "I can't tell who can make me believe now. In the end, I thought about it, there must be someone to explain the future, I searched my intestines and scraped my stomach, and I thought of Meng Qing, but he repeatedly did not go to the court, and I can't go to his house to find him now. ”

Hearing the word "aftermath", I choked in my throat, calmed down for a few minutes before saying: "If the imperial brother wants to explain anything to Lord Zhao, you can write it on the letter and seal it with wax, and the courtier brother will give it to him." ”

"No, I don't. Later, I also figured out that these things could not be explained to him. He has been taking leave for a long time and not going to court for many years, in fact, he is blaming me, and he may not be willing to do it for me if I explain these things to him. ”

Zhao Mengqing asked for leave and didn't go to court, isn't it because he is lazy?

I was suspicious: "What is Lord Zhao blaming the emperor brother?" ”

Wei Tian lowered his eyes and looked concerned: "It's strange that I didn't take care of the country of Dajin, and I didn't take care of the people of Dajin...... Especially the people of Nanguofu, who later came into my arms and became my people. ”
