Yinzhen took the order and went to the prince's tent first, but did not see the prince as he wished, only the princess came out to greet him, and said to him: "The prince is cold, he is in a fever and coma, and the fourth brother can't talk to the prince when he sees it. The prince is very cold, it takes time to heal, and it takes more time to recuperate after illness, I am afraid that the journey will be hard, and it will delay the trip of the emperor Ama to the south, the prince hopes that the emperor can let him suspend treatment, and we will return to the capital to recuperate after the illness. ”

If the prince is really seriously ill, it is indeed not suitable to continue to go south, but Yinzhen has also heard about the things in the capital these days, there is no doubt that the prince's illness came very suddenly, he was fine when he climbed the mountain yesterday, why did he become so sick overnight. Naturally, if he is really sick, it is not impossible, anyway, he did according to the instructions of the Queen Mother and Eniang, and hurried to the ridge, his father was standing in the rice field after harvesting with the ministers, and when he saw the fourth elder brother coming, he asked him what was the matter.

Yinzhen told his father about the prince's illness, and the emperor heard that the prince was sick early in the morning, but he didn't expect to be so sick, but between words, he asked Yinzhen: "Have you seen the prince?" ”

"Erchen only saw the crown princess." Yin Zhen told the truth, and his heart was suddenly covered with a layer of suspicion, and his father's tone was obviously unbelievable.

"You go back and tell the Queen Mother that I will go down from the field to visit the Prince, if the Prince's illness cannot be careless, naturally stop and let the Prince recuperate, and go south, I can serve the Queen Mother again next year." Xuan Ye bent down and grabbed a handful of soil from the ground, and said to Yinzhen, "The land here is very fertile, and the water diversion project is the key, Yinzhen, you have to study hard." ”

The fourth elder brother was stunned when he heard this, but he was busy, and then hurriedly withdrew, and went back to the queen mother to tell him, the queen mother heard that if the prince was sick, she would stop and wait for him to even return to Beijing, and said to Lan Qi in private: "I am very touched by the emperor's intention to take me to the mountains and rivers, but in the end, I am old and a little powerless." It's just that the emperor's kindness is difficult, and it's hard for me to speak. ”

Lan Qi persuaded the Queen Mother: "If you have something to say, you must say it to Banzai, the emperor respects you very much in his heart, if you don't speak, the emperor thinks you are happy." ”

The Queen Mother smiled helplessly and told Lan Qi: "Don't tell the emperor this time, just treat it as the prince." ”

The emperor did not return to the camp until the evening that day, first to visit the prince, and then to the queen mother's camp, saying that the prince's face was shivering like a vegetable, and it was indeed a critical cold disease, and it was urgent, and the large army all returned to the nearest Texas palace to wait for the prince to recuperate. He set off in a hurry, set off at night, and returned to Texas in the middle of the night, and the emperor personally settled the queen mother before going to rest. Everyone settled in their original residences, and they didn't dare to spread their luggage, and they didn't know what the emperor was going to do next.

In the eldest brother's house, because Dafu Jin did not accompany him, the servants were not attentive, he was losing his temper, and naturally he complained more about the prince's troubles, which made the itinerary repeated, disgusted that his father was all about the prince.

Yinxi came with a food box, opened a cup of soup that cleared the lungs and moistened the throat, and said to his brother: "Your brother and daughter-in-law said that the eldest sister-in-law did not go along, and the people around you must not be attentive, but whatever she prepared for me, I also prepared an extra one for my eldest brother to enjoy." ”

The eldest brother was not polite, sat down and drank a few sips of soup, warm and delicious, and said: "It is a blessing that you have a good wife, your sister-in-law is not willing to travel with me at all, she will not be able to ...... in the end" He couldn't help but miss his original deceased wife, and said to himself with hatred, "This hatred, I must seek justice for her." ”

Yin Yu listened, and just comforted: "There are so many children in the family, they can't be taken care of without people, and the eldest sister-in-law is also for you." ”

The eldest brother snorted lightly: "Children can't be taken care of without people, and our prince is still a child now." ”

Yin Yu hurriedly said: "The palace is small, it is better for the eldest brother to be cautious when speaking, the prince's illness cannot be ignored, at this time, we complain, it will only make Huang Ama feel that the brothers are not harmonious, and they do not miss the love of brotherhood." ”

The eldest brother sneered: "Although you are careful everywhere, you should know that Huang Ama is not a child anymore, how can he not understand the current situation?" What kind of brotherhood do you talk about, he himself is ...... That's it. ”

Yinxi could only persuade: "As a courtier, you can only keep your duty, big brother, we can't compare ourselves with the emperor." Moreover, "The prince is sick, eldest brother, you should care more, for the prince, the elder brother is only you, even though we and the prince can no longer simply get along as brothers, but you are the eldest son of the emperor and the eldest brother." ”

Even if he is reluctant in every way, the eldest brother is not a confused person, he can understand what Yinxi said, but he is just willing to do it, and now he has no effective strategists around him, since Yinxi is willing to put his heart into his heart, he can't help but appreciate it, he is not as smart as his brothers, he just needs to keep his bottom line, how they plan and how to arrange, just do it, and don't bother to use his brains.

In this way, the next morning, the eldest brother went to visit the prince, and the princess was like yesterday, but the eldest brother's momentum was different, she couldn't persuade the fourth elder brother not to let him see it, and the more she excused herself, the more she provoked the eldest brother to want to see it with his own eyes, but he really saw that the prince was very sick, groggy and gray, and his lips were cracked. After the eldest brother left, the crown princess breathed a sigh of relief, returned to her husband's bedside, and changed the handkerchief on his forehead.

If they suspect the prince's illness, once there are words and deeds revealed, it is the best proof that the brothers are not harmonious and disrespectful to the prince, so they cover it up, like the fourth elder brother, if they don't see it, they will disappear, but people like the eldest brother can't stop it, and at this moment, they are afraid that they will spread the disease by shouting.

As for the prince's illness, he poured buckets of cold water on his head that night, originally he just wanted to be cold, probably to hook out the suppressed fire in his heart, but he didn't expect it to be fierce, and the princess was worried about whether she could get better if she was sick like this, and at this moment she felt that it was too risky.

The eldest brother came to see the prince, so he naturally publicized his illness everywhere, and even came to the emperor's bedroom to report to the emperor.

Because he only arrived at the palace in the middle of the night last night, the emperor got up late this morning, and only waited to rinse his mouth and wash his face at this time, Lan Qi took a bowl of tea for him to drink to moisten his throat, and said: "The eldest brother is waiting outside, saying that there is something to tell the emperor, the emperor can't see it, and he should always give the child a word." ”

Xuan Ye drank tea, although he was sober, but looking at Lan Qi's eyes was still lazy, he was not young in the end, he climbed the mountain and went down to the field for two days in a row, and he hurried overnight, his physical strength was a little unable to keep up, he was sore all over his body at this time, and he didn't want to move, but I heard that the eldest brother had come, thinking about the eldest son who was thirty years old, when he was in the prime of life, his thirty years old seemed to be still in front of him, but twenty years had passed in a flash.

"The eldest brother went to visit the prince early in the morning, probably because he had something to say to you." Lan Qi saw that Xuan Ye didn't move, so she had to bring her clothes, knelt on the edge of the bed with one leg, and stretched his arms into her sleeves one by one.

Xuan Ye said lazily: "What does he have to say." ”

Lan Qi only smiled: "If you don't see it, you still think it's a concubine outside, how easy is it to see your son say a few words?" ”

Xuan Ye sighed impatiently, and finally was willing to cooperate with the wearing of clothes, once it was cleaned up, it was Ryoma's spirit that was radiant. The emperor went out to talk to the eldest brother, Lan Qi cleaned up in the house, and the heavy work was naturally done by the palace maid and eunuch, just because the jade ring on her little finger was missing, so she touched the mattress by herself, and when she touched the pillow, a few strands of hair came out between her fingers, one of which was a silver white hair, which made her feel shocked.

I don't know if this white hair is my own or Xuan Ye's, and it is difficult to avoid a moment of sadness, but I suddenly thought that I could grow old with Xuan Ye, which was actually a blessing, and I was relieved after all.

Later, when she was having tea and snacks, she heard the word from the front, and the emperor not only saw the eldest brother, but simply called the ministers and other brothers to discuss how to continue the southern tour. More than half a day later, there was news coming in, that is, the emperor decided to leave the prince in Texas to recuperate, and then return to the capital to recuperate after he recovered, and he served the queen mother to return to Beijing first, and the matter of the southern tour was put aside for the time being, and it was not too late to go south next year when the spring flowers bloomed.

Huanchun said to his master: "Next year's spring flowers will bloom, but it is the Longevity Festival, so it is estimated that we will have to wait for April to set off." ”

Lan Qi counted the days with her fingers and said, "If it's really April, I won't follow." He smiled softly at Huanchun, "Looking forward to the hot weather, I will go to Chengde to escape the summer." ”

As soon as the news spread, everyone was busy preparing to return to the capital, and Concubine Yi came to shout at Lan Qi, saying that she didn't want to go south either, she didn't settle down at home this year, she couldn't hold on, and she could finally go home now. I didn't expect the prince's illness to fulfill most people's wishes, and there are few people like the emperor who love to travel around, and this decision to return to Beijing is actually very happy.

Not happy, I'm afraid only the crown prince and the princess, the prince is now asleep, the princess is alone with the outside affairs, they originally planned to stay by themselves and then return to Beijing, the emperor toured the south as usual, who would have thought that the emperor's decision was diametrically opposed to their assumptions, and the emperor actually ran back by himself. And once the holy car goes back, things are in full swing in the capital, and I am afraid that there will be a great ending.

The crown princess was alone and guarded the prince who had a high fever, and the palace maid told that several elder brothers came to visit, and the princess came out with a strong spirit, and it was the fourth elder brother, the fifth elder brother, and the eighth elder brother, only to hear the fifth elder brother say: "The emperor has sent someone to return to Beijing, and Suo Etu will bring his family over to help you take care of the prince together." ”

The crown princess was surprised: "Lord Suo...... Coming in? ”

The eighth elder brother said: "Huang Ama is worried that you can't take care of it alone, and I'm afraid that you will work too hard." ”
