A few days after Pan Cheng left, Xiao Di also came to say goodbye to King Ning and prepared to return.

"His Royal Highness King Ning's illness has stabilized, but it is not difficult to achieve peace of mind, good birth, and longevity."

Under the corridor of the hall, Mr. Yiyuan asked King Ning for the last pulse, hanging his hand on the side, and said to Xiao Di.

Xiao Di nodded, and turned to King Ning and said, "Mr. is a holy hand, and the little nephew also hopes that Uncle Wang will live a long life." You have worked hard for the country for half your life, and now it is time to sit and enjoy the blessings, and if you can worry less about other things, you will have less to worry about. ”

On the side, the new tea was first served, Xiao Jingchi stopped tasting it, and frowned intentionally or unintentionally.

Seeing this, Xiao Di understood, and immediately sent the maid to scoop water and cook tea herself.

Xiao Jingchi silently watched his every move, with a light smile on his lips.

"If all the kings can worry less, this king will not want to do much. Why—" he sighed slightly, "everyone is working tirelessly, how dare this king feel at ease?" ”

Xiao Di smiled faintly and did not look up.

The sound of cicadas in the afternoon is noisy, and the silence in the court is even more and more lonely.

After a while, Xiao Jingchi asked again: "These days in Lingcheng, you have worked tirelessly and been busy?" ”

The king of Chu came from afar, and it is said that he usually walks back and forth with the nobles in the city, but there is nothing to say, and he is a nephew, but the place where he walks around is a little unreasonable - either the protégé of King Ning, or the former official of King Ning. And back and forth, frequent traffic, do enough intentional closeness.

In the face of Xiao Jingchi's vague questioning, Xiao Di was still calm, "Uncle Wang knows that the little nephew has been in the north all the year round, and he has left Donggui County and gone to the south, these big families have been neglected to deal with it over the years, and it is rare to have time here, and it is always good to have a lot of contacts." As he spoke, he raised his eyes with a smile, "After all, there are many people and many roads, and the sky is long, who knows that there is rain in that cloud?" ”

It was hot in the middle of summer, but Xiao Jingchi gathered the blanket on his body.

He bowed his head and said: "It's a good thing that you have the heart to take precautions, but take people as a reference, and you should learn more rules in the things in front of you." ”

"The little nephew is stupid, do you still want Uncle Wang to say it clearly?"

While speaking, Xiao Di was about to reach the tea cup in front of Xiao Jingchi, but he waved his hand and hit him.

He looked up at his uncle across from him.

Xiao Jingchi said slowly: "Lei Chi is not easy to cross, his hand is extended, and he is always hated." ”

Oh, Xiao Di's heart suddenly dawned, was this to let himself follow the rules in the matter of pan rectification?

He secretly tasted the meaning of Xiao Jingchi, and after a while, he actually reached out to get the tea cup again, this time, Xiao Jingchi did not speak.

Xiao Di poured out the old tea, respectfully offered the new tea to Xiao Jingchi, and said: "Uncle Wang has watched his nephew grow up since he was a child, and the little nephew can trust your uncle and nephew, and he is not afraid of being hated. ”

Xiao Jingchi looked at the teacup, and then looked at him.

"Di'er, do you really trust it?"

Xiao Di was silent, only smiled and looked at him.

After all, Xiao Jingchi still sighed and took the teacup.

He said, "Well, you just have to remember that Uncle Wang will not harm you - that's enough." ”

After leaving King Ning's Palace, Mr. Yiyuan followed Xiao Di for a long time, and suddenly asked, "Your Highness, can you trust King Ning?" ”

Hearing this, Xiao Di paused.

He looked back and looked at Mr. Yiyuan playfully, "Mr. never asks about these things, why ...... this time?"

Mr. Yiyuan lowered his head for a moment, and said, "Regarding the body of His Royal Highness King Ning, there is still one thing that his subordinates have not returned. ”

Xiao Di's eyebrows moved.

After looking left and right to make sure that there was no one around, he asked, "How?" ”

"His Royal Highness King Ning has been disturbed by the epidemic, and it is really difficult to treat. This time, his subordinates treated His Royal Highness, and they had no choice but to take risks in order to prolong his life. ”

Xiao Di already had some bad premonitions, telling him to say how dangerous it was.

"Gu."

"Gu?"

Mr. Yiyuan bowed his head, "His subordinates have planted a poisonous Gu in the body of His Royal Highness King Ning, this Gu is fierce, feeding on its pathogens, and after a long time, the prince's illness can be cleared, and he can protect his life for a whole year." ”

Xiao Di thought for a moment, "But ...... that poisonous Gu?" ”

Unexpectedly, Mr. Yiyuan told him: "Once this Gu enters the body, it will not be clear for the rest of your life." ”

That is to say......

"What kind of Gu is this?" Xiao Di asked: "In the future, when Uncle Wang's illness is overcome, what should this thing be fed on if it is stored in his body?" ”

"Your Highness can rest assured of this, in the prescription prescribed by his subordinates to King Ning, it has been taken into account, even if King Ning is overcome in the future, this Gu can be fed with decoction, and King Ning will never be injured." Mr. Yiyuan explained, "The subordinates are mentioning this matter now, just to reassure His Highness. ”

Xiao Di didn't understand at first, but after thinking for a while, he suddenly realized.

"Mr. wants to tell this king that there is this poisonous Gu in King Ning's body, no matter whether this king is at ease with King Ning or not, he can rest assured in the future?"

Mr. One Yuan bowed his head and acquiesced.

Xiao Di was silent for a long time, and closed his eyes deeply, "Sir." ”

"Yes."

He opened his eyes, looked at Mr. Yiyuan fixedly, and said word by word: "Uncle Ning, you can't die in my hands." ”

Mr. Yiyuan replied, "Yes." Your Highness rest assured, your subordinates will not. ”

When he returned to the Chinese Pavilion, Li Lin didn't know when, he was already waiting there.

Xiao Di led the people into the wing room and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Brother, the person sent to track down Xi Chuwan has returned." Li Xiao said, "Since he went north, his traces have become more and more difficult to find, and now he has completely lost them." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Xiao Di to speak, he knelt down and pleaded guilty, "It's the little brother's negligence, please punish the brother!" ”

Xiao Di pondered for a moment and said lightly: "Get up." ”

Li Lin was still kneeling there, his head bowed, hiding his deep self-blame.

Xiao Di laughed, got up and went over, and personally dragged him up.

"Yingyue Xi Clan......" He brushed Li Lian's shoulders and chuckled: "It's not your negligence, if the people under your command can really keep up with this head of the Yingyue Xi family, then the king will really be surprised." ”

Li Lin frowned, and said in his heart, could it be that he had expected such a result early on?

"But brother," Li Xiao said worriedly after a while, "Zhou has such a person detained in my Daliang, after all, it is a hidden danger. As...... Send a message back to the north and ask Brother Zixian to take over the matter? ”

Xiao Di shook his head, "No need. ”

He said: "People like Xi Chuwan can't be caught if you want to. Xiao Zhuzheng is worried that he can't find a way to meddle in the affairs of the northern border, at this time, if the Gu family and Xi Chudui are connected together, the white can also be said to be black, it is not worth it. ”

Li Lin asked, "Then what do you mean ......?" ”

Xiao Di threw the bead string in his hand onto the small case, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Write the fold and hand it to Lingyun Palace, so that Xiao will have a headache." As he spoke, he looked at Li Lian: "However, you really have to send a message to the north, asking our people to take care of their own hands, but anything related to Xi Chudui can only be watched from the sidelines, and cannot be interfered with." ”

"Yes, little brother, let's do it!"

Zhou State, the imperial capital Fanjing, the eldest grandson's mansion.

In the main hall, under the high roof, a heavy coffin is placed, covered with vegetarian covers, which freezes the hot summer into a land of ice and snow.

The little guy came from the front door tremblingly, followed by a person in the distance, long and handsome, clearly dressed in white, but also luxurious and compelling, and occupied the romance.

The little servant came to the side of the eldest grandson Ji and said carefully: "My lord, the master of the horse has arrived......"

Hearing this, the eldest grandson's mind moved slightly, and he slowed down for half a moment before he remembered to get up and greet him.

However, he knelt in front of the spirit for too long, and his legs had long since lost sensation, and he was cold and hard, and when he was halfway up, he fell limply—

Fortunately, the belated horse master was quick to move, strode forward, and gave him a steady support.

Zhao Feiyi hid the smile brought by the door, sighed slightly, and said softly with concern: "Brother Eldest Sun, be careful." ”

"Your Royal Highness......" The eldest grandson Jiqiang stood firm and said deeply: "Your Highness is visiting, and Weichen has lost his distance." ”

"Brother Eldest Sun, you don't have to be so polite with me." As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the spiritual position of the eldest grandson in front of the hall, and sighed a pity.

"These days, the princess phoenix is uneasy, and I accompany her to live and recuperate, and it is inevitable that there will be some omissions in the affairs of Beijing. Unexpectedly, Brother Ling just left......" He asked: "It is said that the eldest grandson Xian brother died of a sudden illness when he was out traveling, and when he brought it back, it was already a coffin. But according to what the eldest grandson brother said in his letter to me, there seems to be an inside story behind this matter? ”

Hearing this, Eldest Sun Ji's eyes deepened, and he raised his head and looked straight at him.

Seeing this, the subordinates on the four sides retreated one after another, and when there was no one in the hall, the eldest grandson Ji spoke again.

"Your Highness, my brother died unjustly, but this is ......," he snorted, "For the sake of Your Highness, my eldest grandson family can only keep silent, and dare not say a word." ”

"Oh?" Zhao Feiyi turned his eyes and chuckled: "Wouldn't you become a sinner through the ages?" ”

The eldest grandson sneered shallowly.

"When the envoy returned from the previous envoy, I told you that Xiao Di, the king of Chu, held your handle in his hand." He said, "I am of one heart and one mind with you, and your handle is naturally my handle." For this trick to see the light of day, even if I lose my most beloved brother, I can only accept my fate. ”

Zhao Feiyi lowered his eyes, smiled on his lips, and was silent for a long time.

He paced slowly a few steps, and raised his hand to caress the coffin of the eldest grandson.

"Xiao Di is in his hands, how can he have my handle?"

This voice, like the water of a deep valley, is quiet and deep.

"You'll have to find out for yourself." After a pause, Eldest Sun Ji continued: "Xiao Di relied on this handle to take his brother's life. I can not count this account today, but in the future, I hope you can help me remember it and help me settle it together. ”

After a moment, Zhao Feiyi turned around and looked at him approvingly.

"Brother Eldest Sun is really a loyal and righteous person - the loyalty of people is also the abyss of fish." He said: "You can rest assured, as long as your loyalty remains unchanged, your hatred is my hatred." ”

The eldest grandson Ji bowed deeply, "It's been a long time, I hope you can remember this forever, don't let all these costs be paid in vain." ”
