Rulai Temple.

Backyard Zen room.

Ba Yi, who was hit by several arrows, lay on the couch.

Kangxi was standing in front of the couch, Ba Yi's wound had been treated, but he hadn't woken up yet, Kangxi's expression was solemn, and when Ba Yi moved gently, Kangxi's eyes lit up.

Zhou Kongmeng next to him said happily: "Your Majesty, the general is awake!" ”

Kangxi exhaled a long breath, and then said, "Zhou Kongmeng, you have made a mistake again, it's time to call Ba Yi the prince." ”

Zhou Kongmeng's complexion froze, and suddenly remembered what Kangxi had said three days ago, and looked at Ba Yi and said, "Congratulations to the prince for not dying." ”

The others also followed him and said in unison: "Congratulations to the prince!" ”

Kangxi shook his hand and ordered, "You all go down." ”

Everyone withdrew, and the door to the meditation room was gently closed.

Kangxi pulled a chair and sat in front of the couch, Ba Yi had already opened his eyes, saw that the emperor was there, struggled to get up and salute, Kangxi held him down: "Don't move, you can survive, you are already blessed by the Buddha." ”

Ba Yi said: "Here, please Saint Ann." ”

Obviously, the injury is not light, and he is a little weak when he speaks.

Kangxi nodded: "Special circumstances, don't limit those, I will kick them all out, I have something to ask you." ”

Ba Yi hurriedly said: "What does the emperor have to ask the ministers?" ”

Kangxi hesitated, smiled, the meaning of the smile was very complicated, accompanied by a soft sigh: "At the beginning, for the sake of Yugo, I and you, we had a very unpleasant quarrel between the monarchs and ministers, I want to ask you, have you ever hated me?" ”

Ba Yi did not hesitate: "I hated." ”

Kangxi was not surprised, and said: "Then why are you willing to die to save me this time?" ”

Ba Yi looked at the bathing well, and said leisurely: "The minister is still young, that day he went to the ancestral hall with his father to worship his ancestors, just in front of the ancestral tablet of the Guarjia clan, the minister's father told the minister that the Guarjia clan was born for the Qing Dynasty, and if he died, he also needed to die for the Qing Dynasty. ”

Kangxi was moved to tears, and asked again: "When I asked you to lead the practice, how did you understand my good intentions?" ”

Ba Yi smiled slightly: "This is very simple, if the emperor really wants his ministers to practice, why bother to become a monk, why do you need to bring hair, in addition, there are temples near the Mengjiang River, why do you want the ministers to come to the Rulai Temple in Wula, Jilin?" It's not because there's Alhatu here. ”

Kangxi was a little excited, once upon a time, he was wary of Ba Yi, he was afraid that he would support the army and follow the example of the three feudatories to make a rebellion, but now all the haze in his heart has been swept away, and the rest is relieved, and he sighed: "I'm really afraid that you won't wake up from this sleep, if that's the case, I see Yujiu every day, and I don't know how to face her." ”

Ba Yi turned his head sideways: "The minister can't die, because the minister heard Dachun say in his sleep that Yugo gave birth to a son to the minister." ”

Kangxi nodded: "Yes, Yugo gave birth to a son for you, but it hurt her, at that time, it was difficult to give birth, or I ordered the female medical officer in the palace to deliver Yugo, but I heard that your son's tiger head brain, like you, I still regret it, I knew that Yugo was fake death, I should have pierced her, and then stayed in the palace, in that case, isn't your precious son mine." ”

Ba Yi also knew that Kangxi was laughing with him, and he also asked with a smile: "Then why didn't the emperor pierce the jade go?" He also gave her the gold medal that could be unimpeded. ”

Kangxi smiled, smiled, only smiled and didn't speak, and after a while, he said softly: "Because, I really like Yugo." ”

Ba Yi didn't know what to say.

As a result, the monarchs and ministers were silent.

Finally, Kangxi asked, "What if I tell you that I still like Tamago?" ”

Ba Yi said sincerely: "Mrs. Yugo, thank the emperor for his grace." ”

Kangxi laughed: "Okay, you Ba Yi, you really blocked my mouth and my mind when you said this, don't worry, I also have a jade go, she is in the palace." ”

Ba Yi knew that the jade he was talking about was actually a hosta.

※※※

After a few days of motionless in the Rulai Temple, Ba Yi was able to walk on the ground, and at this time, Kangxi was inspecting the shipyard, although Ba Yi could not move, he still took care of his official affairs in an orderly manner, and Kangxi reassured him everywhere he went.

After living in Jilin Wula for a few days, Kangxi set off to return to Luan, and Ba Yi also set off to rush to the capital, he was not only worried about Yugo, but also about his son who had not met since he was born, and his elderly mother.

When he returned to the capital, he said to Da Chun, who was full of emotion: "Don't rush home, stay at the inn first." ”

Da Chun has already asked him back from Kangxi, still being his chief of guard, following him closely, hearing him say that he doesn't want to go home but stays in the inn, Da Chun is puzzled: "Lord, home is right under your nose, aren't you in a hurry to see Xiao Amber?" ”

Ba Yi said: "I'm in a hurry, but I have another thing to take care of, and when I have nothing to do in my heart, I will go back to reunite with my family." ”

What he meant was the order, and Dachun complied with the order, so that people could find a decent inn, ask for a room, and live in it.

After settling down, Ba Yi said to Da Chun: "You go and invite Zhou Kongmeng." ”

Da Chun's face was full of suspicion, feeling that he wanted to see Zhou Kongmeng, not just a gathering of old friends, so when Zhou Kongmeng returned to the mansion after duty, Da Chun rushed to invite him.

Hearing that Ba Yi called him, Zhou Kongmeng smiled, for some reason, there was a little sour in the smile, and then he came to the inn with Dachun, and when he saw the room, Ba Yi waved everyone away.

A table, two chairs, two cups of tea, Ba Yi and Zhou Kongmeng sat opposite each other, Ba Yi picked up the teacup and handed it over, Zhou Kongmeng stretched out his hand to catch it, and asked: "The prince is curious about the jade pendant, right?" ”

Ba Yi was slightly surprised: "You guessed it." ”

Zhou Kongmeng said: "Actually, the prince wanted to ask the lower officials a long time ago, but the reason why he didn't ask was because he missed the old feelings. ”

Ba Yi took a sip of tea, put the teacup aside, and looked at him with a serious expression: "I just don't understand, why did you instruct Chu Qi to hide the jade pendant under my pillow and frame me, but you tried your best to help me, and you made me really confused." ”

Zhou Kongmeng blew down the tea vapor lightly and said, "The prince is wise, how can you not understand, if I didn't frame you in prison at the beginning, I'm afraid the emperor would have killed you." ”

Ba Yi frowned, did not interrupt him, and listened to him continue: "At that time, the emperor was determined to win the jade girl, and the emperor felt that the reason why the jade girl refused to enter the palace, and the death of the jade lady was secondary, and the bigger reason was that the jade girl liked you, the emperor was a holy monarch, how could he be in the depths, lost for a moment and a half, and felt that getting rid of you The jade girl practiced martial arts, and I instructed the seventh day of the first month to steal the jade pendant and frame you, but it was just to ease the emperor's anger at that time. ”

This matter is like an old wine, which has been in Ba Yi's heart for too long, and now that he opened the wine seal, he smelled a fragrant fragrance, Ba Yi raised the teacup and said, "You saved me." ”

Zhou Kongmeng sighed: "It also hurt you, so that you and Yugo can only become husband and wife now, if it weren't for the princess's kindness, the woman next to her refused to fulfill you, I don't know what the ending is." ”

Ba Yi said: "Good things are grinding, now that the rain has passed, the sky is clear, come, I will toast you with tea instead of wine, thank you for saving your life back then." ”
