Zhao Yan was sick for three days, during which the rumors intensified, and he evolved into an ominous demon girl who would hinder the dragon body and damage the country.

There are also "well-wishers" who specially invited Taoist priests, and the Wen family wanted to "exorcise evil spirits" for Yixuan.

Zhao Zhen blasted the person out in a rage.

However, early the next morning, the gate and even the plaque of the Wen family were covered with rune paper, and the front of the steps was sprinkled with rune water. After cleaning it up, it will be pasted with a new one the next day. Wen Bogao became depressed and fell ill because of this.

Zhao Zhen then ordered his soldiers to stay outside the Wen Mansion all night and did not allow anyone to approach.

In the afternoon of this day, Wen Changbai came back from the yamen early and brought some tonic herbs to visit the sick second uncle. At that time, Yixuan was also in the upper room, just fed Wen Bogao to drink medicine, Wen Bogao fell asleep, and there was no sound in the room.

Shuang'er entered the house to report.

Yixuan then left Shuang'er to take care of her in the house and went out to meet her brother.

She walked as gently as a feather, a pale blue dress wafting out of the dark inner room. Her face was pale, with a faint dark blue under her eyes, and her lips were very pale in color.

Seeing his brother, the depression that had been piling up in his heart for several days finally couldn't be suppressed, and as the tears rolled down, the whimpering sound was sad and pitiful. Wen Changbai pinched his heart, stretched out his arms to take her into his arms, and patted her comfortably.

The faint fragrance of medicine lingered on the tip of Yixuan's nose, and this slightly bitter taste made her feel calm. She wiped her tears with Wen Changbai's sleeve, her eyes red like rabbits.

Wen Changbai curled the corners of his lips, and his eyes stared at her softly.

"How is the second uncle?"

Yi Xuan said: "It's not serious, it's just that the whole person is groggy, and I always feel unhappy and can't eat." ”

"What about you?"

Yixuan shook her head, "I'm fine." After a pause, he asked, "Your Majesty still refuses to take medicine?" ”

Wen Changbai sighed, "Originally, it was just a cold wind, just take a few pairs of medicine to evacuate." But His Majesty is very stubborn, and he refuses to take medicine no matter who advises him. I went to visit His Majesty this morning, and found that he was very thin, and his whole body was completely devoid of energy. I helped him out for a walk, and he told me about you. ”

Yi Xuan's eyes darkened, "What did he say." ”

"He asked me, are you really dead?"

Yixuan's heart tightened, and she bowed her head and said nothing.

Wen Changbai smiled, "I said, people can't be resurrected after death, can't Your Majesty understand this truth?" If you are too persistent, you will only hurt others and yourself. Your Majesty's illness, is it because of Zhiluo or Princess Yu? If it was because of Zhiluo, then her soul would not be able to rest in peace under the nine springs. If it is because of Princess Yu, then, please let go of the princess with your noble hand. ”

"Your Majesty was angry and asked me what it meant to let go. I replied, Your Majesty is in good health, and it is to let the princess from the blame of the world be spared. ”

"He did it on purpose." Yixuan smiled bitterly, "If I don't obey him, he won't let me feel better." ”

Wen Changbai's eyes were gloomy, and he said meaningfully: "So from the beginning, you should stay away from him." ”

Yixuan waved his hand, "It's all Zuo Huaisheng who rebelled on the day I lost my sense of proportion, so that he could see the clues." It's useless to talk about it now, can he listen to you? ”

"I don't know." Wen Changbai was helpless, "He was very angry when he heard my words, so I found a reason to leave." ”

The two sat down around the stone table, and a maid brought tea and two plates of snacks. Yixuan happened to be a little hungry, so she grabbed a piece of pastry and ate it.

"Where's the prince?" Wen Changbai asked.

Yixuan said: "The prince also has government affairs to deal with, and he is not in the palace during the day." Will only come back in the evening. ”

Wen Changbai nodded, smiled and said, "The prince treats you really well. You know what? Several of my colleagues wondered, the rumors in Beijing were so unbearable, the prince didn't care, he did everything possible to protect you, and asked Beizhen Fusi to thoroughly investigate who was to blame, and pasted talisman paper and sprinkled talisman water. ”

Yi Xuan was strange: "It's not Mrs. Xu?" ”

The person who brought a Taoist priest to exorcise evil spirits for her that day was none other than Mrs. Xu.

"It's not him. It's just that someone deliberately can't get along with you under his name. And guess who? ”

Yixuan shook her head and said she didn't know.

"It's Qi Zhaoyi. Since her demotion to the throne, she has been resentful of you. She heard that the emperor treats you affectionately, and she can't help but eat it, so she secretly ordered someone to paste talisman paper in front of your house. ”

Qi Zhaoyi was the one who spoke disrespectfully to Yixuan in the imperial mausoleum.

"Is that her?" Yixuan couldn't cry or laugh, "How can she do these stupid things." ”

Wen Changbai said: "Don't laugh, the prince is not so smart." He invited two Taoist priests to do it in Qi Zhaoyi's palace. ”

Sure enough, men are not inferior when they are naΓ―ve.

Yixuan was in a much better mood, and couldn't help asking: "Has my brother's family affairs been decided?" ”

Wen Changbai frowned, with a hint of avoidance in his eyes, "Don't worry." ”

"If my brother believes me, I will find a family for my brother." Yixuan swore and said: "It must be a famous lady with good talent and appearance, how about it?" ”

Wen Changbai said lightly: "You want to be a matchmaker for me?" ”

"yes."

"Whatever you want." Wen Changbai held the cup in his hand and drank a sip of cold tea.

The second lady slept for a while, just woke up, and was about to go to the main house to see Wen Bogao. I saw Changbai's nephew and Yixuan sitting together chatting, a little surprised.

"Changbai, why are you here?" The second lady stepped forward with a smile.

Wen Changbai got up to salute and said with a smile: "I heard that my uncle is sick, I'll take a look." However, my uncle is still sleeping, so I can't go in and disturb him. ”

The second lady sighed, talked about Wen Bogao's illness, and asked Wen Changbai how his father and mother were, and how he could endure hardships in the military department. Seeing that Yi Xuan couldn't interject, she went into the house to take care of her grandfather.

About a quarter of an hour later, Wen Bogao woke up and asked for two sips of water. The second lady led Wen Changbai in. Wen Bogao was very happy to see his nephew, and pulled him to ask him a lot of questions, mainly concerned about His Majesty and the officials' comments on him.

Of course, Wen Changbai reported good news but not bad news.

Wen Bogao waved his hand and said, "How can no one go up to impeach me?" Come on, come on, I'm old, and you're all here to lie to me. ”

"Not really." Wen Changbai said with a smile: "King Yu stopped all those folds, and they couldn't reach His Majesty's hands at all." ”

Wen Bogao was dumbfounded.

The second lady couldn't help but rejoice: "Look at you, what are you worried about every day?" With the prince here, are you afraid that you will lose your official position? Don't think about it, take care of your body, and go to the court in a few days. ”

Wen Bo raised his eyebrows and said, "That's not what I said. The prince helped me, which would cause those people to be dissatisfied. If they come to me and tear my face with me, what do you say about me? ”

The second lady was splashed with cold water, and glared at her man in annoyance, "Look at your little bit of interest!" The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, what is there to be afraid of? ”

Wen Changbai knew that the second lady was spicy, and couldn't help laughing at the moment: "What my aunt said is very true." ”

"Look, Changbai thinks I'm right!"

"Okay, good, you're right, you're right." Wen Bogao was helpless.

Wen Changbai didn't stay long, and when he saw that Wen Bogao was in good spirits, he left and left. The second lady personally sent Wen Changbai out, and when she came back, she sighed: "Changbai, this child is really promising, if his father and mother know, they will be gratified." ”

Yi Xuan was weird when she heard the second lady's words, "Isn't Uncle Changbai's father and mother the fourth uncle and fourth uncle?" They've known it for a long time. ”

Wen Bogao glanced at his wife with some displeasure, "Why are you mentioning this matter again?" ”

The second lady only sighed and did not continue. Yixuan noticed that something was wrong, so she twisted the second lady like candy and asked, the second lady nodded her head and hated her: "At a young age, why do you ask so much?" ”

"Tell me, grandmother. I'm sure I won't say anything about it. ”

The second lady couldn't bear her eager pleading, and finally relented, "If you hear it, you should not have heard it." Your fourth uncle has never allowed anyone to mention this. ”

Yi Xuan nodded like pounding garlic.

"Back then, when your fourth uncle hadn't married yet, it was also extremely ridiculous. He fell in love with a singer and shouted that he wanted to marry someone. The family originally didn't allow it, but when I heard that the woman was pregnant, I reluctantly carried her back and made your fourth uncle a concubine. Later, the concubine's child was born, which was Changbai. ”

The second lady shook her head and sighed, as if she didn't know how to go on.

"And then?" Yixuan asked eagerly.

The second lady said: "The concubine died not long after giving birth to Changbai. Later, Changbai grew bigger and bigger, but his appearance was not similar to your fourth uncle. Your fourth uncle and mother-in-law thought it was strange, so they secretly inquired about it, only to find out that the concubine was already pregnant and couldn't stay in the Qinglou, so she casually found someone to take over and give birth to the child. Your fourth uncle was very angry when he heard the truth and wanted to kick Changbai out of the house. But before she died, the concubine begged him to take good care of Changbai. Your fourth uncle and mother-in-law also persuaded them, saying that they don't have a son yet, so it's better to put Changbai in her name and she will be Changbai's mother. ”

Yixuan never thought that there would be such a public case, and she was shocked. No wonder, her parents love her more than her brother. And she was raised as a boy since she was a child because she was the only bloodline in the family. No matter how good my brother is, he can't resist the blood kinship.

When she first joined the company, her father and mother did not object, which is also the reason.

"The fourth uncle is really generous."

The second lady was noncommittal, "Leave Changbai behind, remind you of this ugly incident of the fourth uncle all the time, don't go to look for flowers and ask willows again in the future, and be treated as a fool." Your fourth uncle is clever. It not only reflects his wisdom and generosity, but also ties your uncle firmly. Sure enough, your fourth uncle never took a concubine again. ”

Yixuan was a little unhappy when she heard the second lady say this about Zhou, and defended Zhou: "It may not be like what grandmother said." I think the fourth uncle is just pitiful for this child, and he has been raising him for a few years, so he must be reluctant. ”

The second lady glanced at Yixuan in surprise, was silent for a moment and smiled: "Maybe." ”

Yi Xuan asked again: "Does Uncle Changbai know his life experience?" ”

"I don't know." The second lady frowned and pondered, "Since it is in the name of your fourth uncle, I can't tell him." ”

Yixuan also thought so, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It's not that I'm afraid that my brother will be separated from the Wen family, but I just think that this is not a glorious thing, and my brother will inevitably be sad when he knows it.

The second lady hugged Yixuan and told her: "But don't say that you missed your mouth, and the prince can't tell you, and there is also Hongyu." ”

"I understand."
