The young man was sitting on the couch wearing a silver fox cloak. His lingering injuries made him look too thin and his complexion looked a little pale.
The sharp edge acquired from the battlefield was now mostly covered up, but his handsome face still showed his innate grace.
Under Yingting's nose, his lips were slightly pursed, and his clear eyes were filled with restrained emotions, making it difficult to tell what he was thinking about?
Huaiguang didn't get a response and didn't dare to ask a second time. However, after the young prince recovered from his illness, he felt that he was different from before.
I can't explain why, maybe he is less cold and more gentle. You must know that the prince has fought too many battles in recent years, and there have been troubles in the palace. The prince speaks less and less, but kills more and more people on the battlefield.
too much.
Especially when the headache occurs, it is really scary.
Xiao Yu kept thinking about Huaiguang's words. He would naturally go to see Zhao Luoyang, but he couldn't meet her like this.
The two identities of Little Mute and Shi Jiu seemed inappropriate to mention now. After all, in her heart, Little Mute was a girl, and besides, he hadn't figured out what the system was about.
The moment he left the system, a warning from the system came in his mind.
[Warning: Do not disclose any information about the system to anyone.]
Even if the system does not prompt him, he will not disclose this to others, but Zhao Luoyang is different.
Zhao Luoyang is the host of the system, and she knows everything except for things related to his identity and health.
I don’t know if the system’s warning includes Zhao Luoyang?
What price will be paid for revealing the system's information? Since his consciousness can be included in the system, the system may have the right to deal with him.
If his thinking was correct, leaving the system this time did not mean that he would completely return to the body.
After all, his departure is an opportunity for system upgrade. After the system upgrade is completed, will he go back?
Xiao Yu thought about it and got up to stay.
I don't know if it was because he lay down for too long, but he always felt like he had no strength.
"Your Majesty," Huaiguang said, "please take a rest first and don't get up in a hurry."
As soon as she finished speaking, Mrs. Chen hurriedly entered the door with the prepared medicine.
After Xiao Yu woke up, Huaiguang immediately asked the servant at the door to report to Mother Chen.
Mother Chen had just left to go shopping. When she came back, she got the news and went straight to the main house without saying anything.
"Your Majesty," Mrs. Chen's nose felt sour and tears immediately flowed down her face, "You are really awake."
The prince woke up this time differently from before. Before, he could only speak a few words, but now he seems to be able to move.
Mother Chen was so choked up that she couldn't say anything else for a while.
When the prince was eleven years old, Mother Chen was chosen by the prince to take charge of the affairs of the prince's courtyard. After so many years, Mother Chen valued the prince more than her own life.
During the years when the prince was at the frontier, she followed him to take care of some trivial matters, so that after the prince's disaster, she could leave with Huaiguang and others.
The prince was rescued, but she still had no idea whether the prince could really get better. Now she was finally looking forward to this day, and she could close her eyes even if she died.
Xiao Yu supported Chen's mother. This old family member had taken care of him when he was young and helped him block many things. He was truly grateful.
"Your Majesty," Mother Chen said, "Huaiguang is right. You have been sick for such a long time, even if you do activities, you have to take your time."
"By the way," Mother Chen hurriedly went to get the medicine, "drink the medicine while it's hot first."
Finally, the condition improved, so the medicine should not be lost for a day.
Xiao Yu finished drinking the medicine, and Chen's mother and Huaiguang both smiled.
Xiao Yu tried to get off the ground again. Although he felt unusually heavy everywhere in his body, he could still walk slowly with Huaiguang's support.
After a while, beads of sweat appeared on Xiao Yu's forehead. He really didn't expect that his body, which had been practicing martial arts since childhood, would become like this.
Sitting back on the sofa again, holding the heater handed over by Chen's mother, Xiao Yu said, "Tell me everything about what's going on outside now."
Mother Chen and Huaiguang looked at each other. They didn't want to upset the prince at this time, but they knew the prince's temper, so how could they hide it.
Huaiguang said first: "Our armed guards were dispersed. Several generals defected to the Qiao family, and a few left the armed guards and were ordered by the court to be transferred to the capital. They should have entered the capital camp."
The Jingying camp was controlled by the young emperor and the Taifu, and those people defected to the emperor.
"However, the manpower you secretly deployed, such as the Jishi Army, are still there, but those generals known to the Dowager Empress and the Qiao family have either been transferred or dismissed."
Xiao Yu nodded, these were all within his expectations.
Huaiguang continued: "There are still some matters in the palace. The concubine secretly promised Miss Feng Er to take care of your 'posthumous affairs'. I heard that all the items in your house have been moved to the Feng family."
.Miss Feng Er has recruited many of our people just because of this reputation."
After Huaiguang finished speaking, he looked at Xiao Yu, thinking that the prince would be angry, but he did not expect that the prince looked calm.
"Even if the concubine secretly agrees, the people under my command should know that she, Feng Er, is not the person I love and care about, and she is not the wife I promised to marry. Her life, death, honor and disgrace have nothing to do with me.
This person who took refuge in the past has long wanted to take refuge with the Feng family, and he is just looking for an excuse."
So he doesn't feel sorry for it, let alone get angry.
As for the concubine, maybe from the moment he was returned to the palace safe and sound, he was no longer her biological son.
Mother Chen said: "What the prince is saying is that those heartless things may leave or join the Feng family, but it shows that they have evil intentions. If they stay around, they may cause trouble in the future. Real gold is not afraid of fire, and what is left behind
It’s all good.”
Huaiguang also nodded, and quickly brought the documents accumulated over many days to Xiao Yu to check. They were all secret reports sent by Xiao Yu's people.
Xiao Yu flipped through the documents one by one. He didn't know how long it had passed. It wasn't until Mother Chen personally brought him some food that Xiao Yu raised his head.
"I made chicken soup and some medicinal foods, which are all good for the body," said Chen's mother with a smile on her face. "You should eat more so that you can recover faster."
Xiao Yu looked at the sumptuous food, but what came to his mind was Mrs. Yang's flatbread mixed with wild vegetables and bran skin.
Without time to exchange for food, Zhao Luoyang probably had to skimp on food again.
Xiao Yu said: "Get ready and leave for Taozhou City tomorrow!"
Huaiguang knew in his heart that when he went to Taozhou City at this time, the prince would definitely go to see the Zhao family girl.
Xiao Yu said: "There are two things we need to do. Let people inquire about the Feng family's movements. If Sun Ji and 'Fu Ji' are arrested, there will definitely be news about the Feng family, and the 'Fu Ji' must also be dug out."
"Sun Ji's case involves a lot. Don't let the Feng family get away easily."
Huaiguang listened carefully.
Xiao Yu continued: "I will stay in Taozhou until my injury recovers."
Huaiguang couldn't help being surprised. He always thought that the prince would go south after recovering from his injury. In the past two years, the prince's men have stayed in the south. Now that the prince wants to stay in Taozhou, he must secretly mobilize his troops to gather in the north.
But this also has its advantages. I don’t know how many eyes are watching from the south.
"My illness may not be completely cured, so you must be prepared." Xiao Yu tugged on the cloak on his body. After returning to his body, he felt extremely cold. As a system, he couldn't feel any discomfort. Looking at it now
It's a good thing to come.
Mother Chen and Huaiguang were both shocked.
Xiao Yu comforted him: "No matter what, he will recover, but it will take some effort. You don't have to worry."
Mother Chen nodded.
Xiao Yu continued to read the documents, while Huaiguang and Chen's mother went out together.
Mother Chen whispered: "Do you feel that the prince is different after he wakes up this time?"
Huaiguang said: "There are some differences, but I can't tell what is going on."
Mother Chen had a smile on her face: "Your Majesty is a bit like he was when he was a child. What he said just now made us angry because he was afraid that we would worry. How could His Majesty be like this in the past few years?"
"Perhaps, after this experience, the prince will get better and better."
Huaiguang didn't know if what Chen's mother said was right, but he saw the prince's eyes were cold when he mentioned Miss Feng Er, but when he mentioned that he wanted to stay in Taozhou, his eyes became very gentle.
It seems that he was right before arranging for Nie Shuang to protect the Zhao family girl and for him to keep people at Fengxia Village.
The most urgent task is to rush to Taozhou as soon as possible so that the prince can meet the Zhao family girl.
…
Xiao Yu is thinking about Fengxia Village.
At this time, Fengxia Village was very busy.
Zhao Xueli and Zhao Xuejing found some blue bricks and adobe bricks in the market. The adobe bricks were not very good, but they could be used. Niu Daochang and a few men found a lot of gravel from around.
It's getting cold and the soil can't be dug any more. We have to set fire to it first and then shovel it out little by little. No matter what, we still have enough to build the wall.
Blue bricks and adobe bricks are used to strengthen the houses. Most of the houses in the village are made of earth, with some straw added and only a few wooden beams.
If the imperial court hadn't allowed people from the East Village to demolish the house, the wooden beams would probably have been gone as well.
Zhao Xueyi said to Mrs. Yang: "It will take two days to clean up the yard, and we need to get some good soil to build the stove and the kang."
Zhao Yuanji said: "With the kang, we don't have to sleep on the ground."
Zhao Yuanji missed the warm kang head, so that Zhao Yuanbao didn't have to get into his bed at night and let him warm his feet.
Zhao Yuanbao's feet were almost like ice, making him shiver from the cold.
There is enough space here in the East Village. If you have time and money, you can build quite well. The problem is that they arrived too late. The weather was extremely cold and the wind was strong. The wall they had worked so hard to build was not strong at all.
When it's warm, you have to push it and do it again.
But everyone doesn't care about this anymore. It would be nice to have a place to stay and spend the winter.
Zhao Luoyang was busy with everyone in the village for a day. She felt that she would have to go to the market in two days. Although there was no system, she still had to find a way to make some money, or at least ask for information.
Thinking of this, Zhao Luoyang sank his consciousness into space for the twentieth time today.
Sure enough, Shi Jiu was not here, and the system upgrade was not completed.
She felt increasingly empty, as if she had lost something important.
