Chapter Eighty-Nine: Autumn in the Mountains
If you talk about the turmoil in Yixin Courtyard last time, many people are still a little skeptical, and they always feel that Lin Zhilan may just be angry for a while, and maybe they will forgive Lin Jiuniang again.
After all, Miss Nine is not a day or two, and her temperament has improved in the past few months.
But this time, even Steward Lin spoke ill of Lin Jiuniang, and the situation was a little bad.
Steward Lin has always been a character who does not offend people, and he has followed Lin Zhilan for many years and is well versed in Lin Zhilan's thoughts and ideas.
Therefore, when Steward Lin's attitude towards Lin Jiuniang took a sharp turn for the worse, many people felt that Lin Jiuniang had completely fallen out of favor in front of Lin Zhilan this time.
But it's a half-sister, and her mother is still like that, and the eldest young master cherishes her, just out of kindness.
She doesn't know what to do like this, and it is only a matter of time before the eldest young master is cold.
With her background, as long as she falls out of favor in front of Lin Zhilan, it is equivalent to pronouncing her death sentence.
She'll still be alive, but it's basically the same as dead.
......
Autumn Mountain.
Ji Shenjun, the true king of Yuhua, has been bedridden for more than half a month, and because he wants to recuperate, he basically doesn't care about the outside world.
But Quan Shuixin weighed it again and again, and still knocked on the door of his bedroom.
"Water heart? Come on in. ”
Quan Shuixin slowly pushed open the door and walked in.
Ji Shenjun, the true king of Yuhua, is five feet six inches tall and quite tall, but because of his long-term illness, he has always curled up on the bed, so he looks very slender and thin at a glance.
"Your Majesty, the capital has sent a secret report."
Ji Shenjun half-closed his eyes and said softly: "Read." ”
Quan Shuixin hesitated a little and said, "This is a secret report, it is better for the king to come and see it in person." ”
Ji Shenjun smiled slightly and said, "Ahem, you and your brother have followed me for many years, what else do I have to believe in you?" Read it. ”
Only then did Quan Shuixin remove the sealed wax on the secret report, and said in a low voice: "Virtuous brother is like meeting: Recently, the plague in the capital has been raging, and it is no longer suitable for Youchen to return to Beijing. In addition, my brother has been looking for famous doctors, and I hope that my brother will take more care. “
Ji Shenjun's eyes opened suddenly, and he asked, "Shui Xin, how long has it been since Youchen and Tie Xin set off?" ”
Quan Shuixin was a little confused, and replied: "It's been six or seven days." ”
"Six or seven days? Isn't that halfway there? Ji Shenjun half-propped up his body, pointed to the door and said, "You hurry up and catch up with them, don't let them enter Beijing!" ”
Quan Shuixin was still calm, hesitated for a moment and said: "Don't worry, if the plague is really raging in the capital, then the prince and his party will definitely get news on the way, and with my brother accompanying them along the way, nothing will happen in the future." ”
Ji Shenjun was still frowning: "I'm just afraid...... They don't take the official road, they take the small road instead, and they don't necessarily get the news. ”
Quan Shui was stunned for a moment, but persuaded again: "Your Majesty, the prince loves to play and make trouble, and he has always gone wherever it is lively, and he will not get the news." ”
Ji Shenjun insisted: "No, there is an iron heart, maybe he will not be allowed to join in the fun, but take a small road and go straight to the capital." Shui Xin, you hurry up and take someone to chase Youchen, you know Tie Xin, and you know which path he usually takes to take shortcuts. “
Quan Shuixin was embarrassed: "Your Majesty, my brother and I are responsible for the safety of the drunken seclusion on weekdays, and now my brother has escorted the prince back to Beijing, if I also leave...... Isn't this drunken seclusion unguarded? I can't afford it, and I don't dare to do it. I'm afraid that when I catch up with my brother, it will be the day my brother destroys me. Besides, if there is a plague in the capital, then the government must also have measures, maybe they won't even be able to enter the capital......"
"I don't care what they do, I just care about myself. As an elder brother, how can I sit idly by? Ji Shenjun changed his usual gentleness and gentleness, and said in a tough tone, "Shui Xin, do you listen to me, or do you listen to your brother?" ”
Quan Shuixin was speechless for a while.
According to common sense, he naturally wants to listen to Ji Shenjun's words.
After all, Ji Shenjun is the king and the master.
But......
Ji Shenjun has always had a gentle temper, no matter who he treats, he is gentle and drizzly, even if someone makes a mistake on weekdays, he has always been tolerant and generous, and rarely holds others accountable.
In other words, even if he disobeyed Ji Shenjun, Ji Shenjun would not do anything to himself nine times out of ten.
But the elder brother Quan Tiexin is different.
As his name suggests, Quan Tiexin is simply a hard-hearted person, and he has a cold face to everyone, even in the face of the true king of the Imperial Spirit, Youchenjun, he is not merciless.
The only people in this world who can control him are the emperor and Ji Shenjun.
Before leaving, he repeatedly told himself to take care of Ji Shenjun, naturally he was not joking.
If you leave your post without permission...... It's okay if nothing happens, but if something happens, I'm afraid that my brotherhood with him won't save my life.
Thinking of this, Quan Shuixin said with a smile: "I am naturally obedient to the king, but the king, I think that with my brother by his side, nothing will happen to the prince." ”
"What do you think? You don't think I can do anything to you, so it doesn't matter if you don't listen to me, do you? Ji Shenjun was rarely angry, and patted the bed along the road, "What can happen if I stay in drunken seclusion?" Dozens of guards, sixteen boys, and I never go out, what can happen? ”
"No, after all, I ......"
"You don't have to talk nonsense, hurry up and pack up and hit the road. Youchen's life is hard, and he has no mother since he was a child, but he can't let him have an accident......"
Quan Shui's heart is soft, and when Ji Shenjun said this, he was also a little confused.
He retreated in a panic, and happened to meet the Good Food Boy, so he told the Good Food Boy about it.
It turned out that there was no woman in this drunken seclusion, and all the people who waited for Ji Shenjun were children, and this good food boy was the boy who was responsible for Ji Shenjun's food every day.
The good food boy thought for a while and said with a smile: "It's not simple, you send a few guards to find the prince and the power, and you stay by yourself - anyway, the king doesn't even go out of the door, how does he know if you are going." ”
Quan Shuixin hesitated: "That...... Isn't this a deception? ”
The good food boy pursed his lips and said, "Then you can go, you don't know what your brother's temper is." ”
Quan Shuixin thought about it again and made up his mind: "Otherwise, I'll go to Wei Baoquan, the governor of Shuozhou, and ask him to think of a way." At the beginning, the emperor told me that if there was anything, you could find Wei Baoquan Wei, and he knew that the king was living in drunken seclusion. ”
The good food boy also nodded and said: "If this is the case, it is fine, Shuozhou is not too far, Lord Quan, you ride a horse back and forth, presumably four or five days is enough." Four or five days...... It shouldn't be a big problem. ”
Quan Shuixin also felt that this method was quite safe.
Not only can he give an account to Ji Shenjun, but he also takes care of Youchenjun.
But in four or five days, there shouldn't be any problems.
Thinking of this, he said to the good food boy: "Then after a while, you will report to the king, saying that I have gone out." - By the way, the door of the drunken seclusion must not be opened these days, no matter what happens, wait until I come back! ”
The Good Food Boy is the eldest of all the boys, and he is also the most trusted by Ji Shenjun on weekdays.
He nodded and said, "I know, Lord Quan, don't worry, go early and come back early." ”
