Ming Xia, Chenwang Mansion

"Ahem...... cough cough cough ......"

"Lord Wang, why do you keep coughing lately? Is it a cold? ”

"How can it be so delicate."

In the house, Xia Jingchen was still arguing with his lieutenants.

"Don't bear it, your subordinates promise not to laugh at you, you better find an imperial doctor to take a look." The adjutant general had a worried look on his face.

Xia Jingchen held the brush impatiently and played with ink everywhere.

"King Xuan comes to this king every day, what illness can this king hide from him? He said that this king is fine, don't worry about it, how can we have a more superb imperial doctor than him in Ming Xia? ”

"That's what you said...... The deputy general lowered his head and copied the Xia family law steadily.

As for why he asked the deputy general to copy the Xia family law, of course, Xia Jingchen was in trouble again, and the deputy general was in charge, but Xia Jingxuan was not soft-hearted at all, and he was punished for copying the family motto fifty times, but which one of Xia Jingchen was obedient? Naturally, they will find someone else to copy it on their behalf, and sitting here by themselves is nothing more than putting on a show.

In fact, Xia Jingxuan also knew that his precious brother would not admit punishment at all, but he just took this opportunity to let the deputy general practice his calligraphy, and the deputy general's words were really a little ugly and difficult to read...... It can also make Xia Jingchen honest for a while, sit in the house obediently for a while, and get the best of both worlds!

"Eh, by the way, did you inquire about what I asked you to inquire about two days ago?"

"The subordinates inquired about it, it's the princess's side of the matter, I heard the envoys who went to the Zhou State and the guards brought back by His Majesty two days ago, Her Royal Highness the princess seems to have died on the side of the marquis, or the kind of high-ranking power, called ...... What's the name of Gu......"

"Gu Zheng?!"

"Oh, yes, yes, yes! It's called Gu Zheng! ”

"It's really ......" Xia Jingchen bit the pen and couldn't help but worry in his heart.

"It's just that a marquis has died, why should the prince be so worried? He can't get in the way of our princess. ”

"Oh, you don't know, that Gu Zheng is Zhou Ranmiao's cronies, I heard that he grew up together, and he has a lot of friendships, and he is also one of Zhou Ranmiao's few remaining relatives."

The deputy general didn't think so, but felt that Xia Jingchen's reaction was redundant, and if he was someone else, he didn't care if he was a cronie or not, since he was an enemy, he should be happy if he died.

"Any other news?" Xia Jingchen asked.

"Yes, I heard that Gu Hou also had a daughter, and the child's parents died before the full moon, alas, the child is pitiful, but they also blame her parents for causing too many evils! This has only now been retributed......" The adjutant general looked like a gossip, not like a general who could go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, but like a woman with a long tongue.

"No nonsense! Childish innocent......" Xia Jingchen turned back, and when he saw the eyes of the deputy general, he inevitably had to nag him again, "Gu Zheng is dead, presumably Zhou Ranmiao's side is not peaceful, Zhou Ranmiao is not peaceful, so isn't it peaceful?" Besides, the child has no parents, Zhou Ranhao will definitely find an adoptive mother for her, isn't the most suitable thing now Yan'er? In love, this king and Yan'er will not hate a child, but Yuli, Yan'er is still pregnant, how can she have that mental strength......"

"That's what the general said." The lieutenant nodded.

finally persuaded the deputy general, but he never expected that with these few words, Xia Jingchen would wrap himself in again.

Xia Jingchen trembled violently, and suddenly slapped the table and stood up, which scared the deputy generals.

"Then if Zhou Ranmao prefers to let Yan'er raise her! Or...... Zhou Ranmiao poured his anger on Yan'er...... "The more Xia Jingchen thought about it, the more scared he became, and his fantasies were all like pulling a curtain straight in front of him, and finally he was in a hurry, "No!" This king has to go and see Yan'er! ”

As soon as the words fell, Xia Jingchen was in a hurry, and he was about to leave with his sword, but the frightened lieutenant hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.

"Oh, Lord Wang! Don't worry! Did you forget? His Majesty just went to Zhou Kingdom two days ago, and when he came back, he said that the princess is fine! Emperor Zhou was stunned for several days, how could he have time to trouble our princess, and the person who killed Gu Hou over there was the Dugu clan of Xijiang, not our princess! ”

"Oh...... That's what I said, ......" Xia Jingchen slowly sat back under the persuasion of the deputy general, but he still had worries that could not be concealed.

"The prince doesn't have to be too anxious, there are our ministers in the Zhou Kingdom, as soon as there is any news, they will report back as soon as possible, besides, our Royal Highness the princess is also a little grandmaster, who can bully Her Royal Highness the princess?"

"Alas, that's ......" Xia Jingchen sighed, and then raised his head again, "Have you finished copying it?" ”

"Ah......" The lieutenant general was stunned, and then quickly replied, "Oh! I've copied it, I've copied it......"

"Don't hurry up and train the troops after copying! Sit here and wait for me to invite you! Xia Jingchen was ruthless, as soon as he ran out of people, he immediately threw the pot where he should go to military training.

Anyway, the deputy general is stupid, when it is time for him to train, he can't remember it for a long time, and he has been bullied by Xia Jingchen many times.

Xia Jingchen smiled and watched the deputy general run away in a hurry, and then he was the only one left in the room, he smiled and laughed, but he couldn't laugh anymore, his hand began to tremble, from the palm to the fingertips, the hand trembled and rose, as if he wanted to hold himself, but unfortunately the hand just mentioned the lower abdomen, he couldn't help it, spit out a mouthful of black blood, lying on the ground and coughing wildly, blood splashed everywhere, and the imperial doctor who had agreed with him was running in a hurry at the moment.

"Lord Wang, Lord Wang! What's wrong with you, Lord? This...... Is this sick again? Lord, we really can't delay this matter any longer, Weichen is incompetent, Weichen really can't cure this disease, it's really not good, just tell His Royal Highness King Xuan! ”

"This king warned you a long time ago, don't tell King Xuan!" Xia Jingchen really wanted to knock the imperial doctor underground with a fist, but unfortunately he didn't have any strength at all now.

"But Lord Wang, you also have to feel sorry for your body......"

"The king's body, the king himself knows it! If you can't cure you, don't let you take care of it, you're still looking for trouble every day! This king knows in his heart that according to what you say, this king may not live long...... But you must not let King Xuan know, hear clearly! The eldest princess is in turmoil, and it is the time to use people, how can she be distracted by this king? ”

"But the princess has the protection of Emperor Zhou, and there is General Zhao by her side, as well as the entire Tianzhu Pavilion, Your Majesty also went to see the princess two days ago, but who has come to see you......" The old doctor was in tears, he understood that Xia Jingchen didn't mean to yell at him, how good Xia Jingchen was to the people below in the past, everyone knew it...... Now I'm just sick......

"You don't give this king nonsense! Yan'er is the king's own sister, and the king is an elder brother, and at this time, it is already the biggest sin to take care of her, is it possible that the king himself will drag down the king's own sister? What did this brother do? This king tells you, you'd better not break things! Xia Jingchen's face was full of anger.

"Yes...... the imperial doctor trembled, his eyes couldn't stop reddening, but he could only put down the medicine and obediently walked out of the door, without saying anything.

Xia Jingchen slowed down on the ground for a while before he stood up slightly.

The grievances of this life...... I never thought that I would be such a result, overwork, causing serious illness, overwork, and dying soon......

Every word the imperial doctor said was like poking Xia Jingchen's heart, why did he catch up with such an illness? It was also when he was fourteen years old that he fought on the battlefield, and now it has been six years...... How many times I have escaped death, I don't know how many times I have seen Lord Yama, every time I am rescued from Lord Yama, now I really want to go to Lord Yama to drink tea, but I am really unwilling.

As for the reason for not telling Xia Jingxuan, it is useless to tell it, it is just to worry the people around him, Xia Jingchen knows in his heart that he will definitely not be able to save it, who would really want to die? In order to save himself, he was about to turn over the medical books, and finally found on the last page of a remote medical book that it was a terminal illness, and there were already countless generals who died of this disease.

People who have been on the battlefield for a long time, stabbed into the body with real knives and guns, many times there is no way to rescue in time, and all kinds of sludge and poisonous powder on the tip of the knife have seeped into the body.

Slowly, Xia Jingchen stood up tremblingly, lay on the table again, and drank the bowl of medicine.

I know that I will die, but I can always delay it after drinking medicine, but it's a pity that in my life, a short life, after all, before I die, I can't take my sister home from the devil's cave, I'm afraid this will be the biggest regret in this life, and the second regret is probably that I can't give Mo Shuyao a home again......

"Master, Master, Master!"

Outside again, Mo Shuyao was calling, in the past, Xia Jingchen, as long as he heard Mo Shuyao's voice, he smiled, but now that he heard it, he couldn't wait to cry......

I knew that I couldn't give her a result, and I shouldn't have provoked her in the first place, even if I really only let her be a maid in Zhao Jichen's mansion for a lifetime, at least she could live happily, but now she has to be delayed by herself.

Mo Shuyao's love is deep, forget about it...... If you don't die, you have to shed a layer of skin......

Xia Jingchen secretly gave Mo Shuyao a kiss, and it can be seen that the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites in Ming Xia, a young and talented person, and Lu Yunyan, the "Little Pan'an" whose reputation spreads all over Sijiang, has thoughts about Mo Shuyao.

From the bottom of one's heart.

Lu Yunyan is an honest man, if he really dies, Mo Shuyao will have a good ending with him, right......

Xia Jingchen thought about it, his tears really couldn't stop flowing, he said these words to Mo Shuyao a few days ago, Mo Shuyao rushed out of the door angrily, and cried for two or three days, but he didn't want to see him, why did he come again? Xia Jingchen silently wiped away his tears and watched Mo Shuyao rush to his side again.

"Master, don't you be angry with your apprentices anymore......"

"It's obvious that you are angry with being a teacher, why do you rely on the head of a teacher."

"But Master, if you are not angry with your apprentice, why do you marry your apprentice to someone else?" Mo Shuyao's aggrieved appearance made Xia Jingchen feel really distressed when he saw it, but he had no choice but to turn his head away and not look at it.

"It's not angry for the teacher, it's sorry for you, isn't it for the teacher to find you a good home......" Xia Jingchen avoided Mo Shuyao's eyes, but when he said this, he was also distressed.

"Master is talking nonsense! If the master really just wants to find a good home for the apprentice, then why not marry the apprentice himself? It's the best place to go with you! ”

"What nonsense are you talking about! I'm your master...... I'm a generation older than you...... This is not a generation, if I marry you, won't it be a mess? Xia Jingchen said this in a hurry.

"That's not what you said before!"

"What did I say before...... You don't want to make trouble......"

Mo Shuyao couldn't help it, "Xia Jingchen, I understand, you're not angry with me, you're just cowardly!" That's it, I knew you were like this, if you don't want to admit it, I'll go and tell the royal brother! ”

Mo Shuyao's temperament is really the same as what Xia Jingchen learned, and when she was angry, she slapped the table and stood up, and if she couldn't say anything, she would sue.

"Hey! Don't bother the royal brother! Xia Jingchen just wanted to stop it, but unfortunately it was too late, Mo Shuyao had already run out, and he could only secretly look at Mo Shuyao's back and sigh.

In fact, Mo Shuyao had already asked Xia Jingsheng several times, but Xia Jingsheng couldn't get anything out of Xia Jingchen's mouth, just thought that Xia Jingchen had changed his mind and wanted to propose marriage to Mo Shuyao, then let's discuss marriage, anyway, Mo Shuyao is his apprentice, isn't it completely up to him to decide? Lu Yunyan is also a good person, and the Lu family is also a good person, but it's a pity that the relationship between Xia Jingchen and Mo Shuyao is inconclusive after all.

Everyone wants to fly on the branches and become a phoenix, but no one has ever thought about whether the phoenix has its own sadness, whether it has its own sadness, and whether there is a place of last resort.

If in the future, if anyone can really know that Xia Jingchen has been so prosperous and wealthy all his life, will he still embezzle those vanities in the future? Behind the glory, it is often the sadness that those who stand at the bottom of the tree cannot see.
