Li Shao was originally very ill, but when he became angry, he became more energetic.
He no longer lay still and sat up, patting the bed board.
"Ning'an used to be so obedient, but her temper has changed since she got engaged to Xu Jian. How many times has she asked me for trouble?"
"One moment I'm begging for tribute wine, the next I'm begging for tiger bones, and I'm venting my anger on the same nostril as Xu Jian!"
"She is so scheming now that she deliberately stopped at the gate of the city. There are so many people there, and she is not afraid of being crowded."
"Does the Empress Dowager know that she is so thoughtful now? The innocence and gentleness that the empress doted on has been ruined by Xu Jian in just a short time."
Maid Feng rubbed his hands.
Even though he had been serving Li Shao for some time, Feng's servant did not dare to say that he could completely match His Highness's ideas.
What His Highness thinks sometimes is really different from ordinary people.
In order to gain His Highness's trust and make his ideas come to fruition, Chamberlain Feng thought a lot about how to communicate with His Highness.
But today, to "expose" Princess Ning'an, Feng's wife thought it would not be easy at first.
He can provoke, but he can't provoke with real swords and guns, it's more of a hint.
His Highness is very hostile to Duke Fu, and it is easy to guide him in a few words. However, although His Highness is dissatisfied and complains about the princess, it is not to that extent. Feng Neishi thought that he might have to poke the window paper twice before he can let go.
Your Highness understands.
Unexpectedly, and surprisingly, His Highness "got it through in just one click" today.
Feng's servant took a deep look at Li Shao and thought to himself: Could it be because of a fever? His head was so hot that he became extra active?
Now that His Highness has understood what he meant, Chamberlain Feng can no longer let His Highness vent his temper.
The Holy Emperor was so angry that he asked the old man surnamed Ge to scold the Crown Prince. If His Highness loses his temper, he will accuse Duke Fu and the princess in front of the Holy Emperor...
With the Duke of Fu having the upper hand, the prince could not get any benefits.
It really makes His Majesty so angry that His Highness is grounded for reflection. Master, there is nothing to explain.
Of course, it is already very difficult to explain at this moment...
Originally, he was supposed to encourage His Highness to take the initiative, expose the fake injuries of Duke Fu, and make the Holy Lord dissatisfied with Duke Fu. Who would have thought that this time, the situation was completely reversed.
Your Highness is passive. Duke Fu's injuries are good and bad. No matter what others say, it makes sense, but the Holy One is dissatisfied with His Highness.
If he were writing an essay in an examination room, everything from the idea to the writing style to the paper would be a complete mess.
How to explain to the master...
Feng's servant was still thinking about it, but he heard Li Shao's anger getting louder and louder. He was so frightened that he quickly stepped forward to dissuade him.
"Your Highness, please don't say that," he said, "The matter is now over, it's important for you to recuperate, and we can wait until you recover for the rest of the matter.
Besides, all these twists and turns are just conjectures, and if you go to the imperial court to complain, it will play into their hands.
You lie down first..."
Feng's wife helped Li Shao lie down and tried to persuade him with kind words.
It is really difficult to let His Highness see through the tricks of those two people, and not let His Highness go to the imperial court to ask for trouble.
Feng's wife was so anxious that he didn't notice at all. He fell outside the hood and Eunuch Guo listened for a long time.
After seeing off Eunuch Cao, Eunuch Guo came back. As soon as he got here, he heard His Highness scolding the princess, and even arranged for the Queen Mother to do so.
Waiter Guo was sweating from behind when he heard this.
Your Highness's remarks, regardless of whether they were made out of anger or not, are definitely wrong.
If Eunuch Cao were still here and listened to it with his own ears, whether it was his persuasion or a complaint before the emperor, it would all be Eunuch Cao's business.
Unfortunately, he was the only one who got this hot potato.
Should he tell Eunuch Cao?
The prince is his master, but he was chosen by Eunuch Cao to "watch" the prince. Eunuch Cao even gave him instructions before, letting him clarify his position...
Eunuch Guo was troubled and heard another sentence from Feng's wife.
"You just said nonsense. The princess may not have meant that."
Eunuch Guo's brows jumped.
After waiting for a short while, he quietly exited, called for someone to keep an eye on him, and quickly left the East Palace.
The prince was a hot potato and he couldn't make up his mind, but the servant Feng was not.
Eunuch Guo chased for a while and caught up with Eunuch Cao outside the royal study: "You, wait..."
When Eunuch Cao heard the sound, he turned around and saw the man breathing heavily, holding his knees, and looking like he was about to run away.
"What's the matter?" he asked.
Eunuch Guo looked around, gasped, and said, "Borrow, borrow a step, and talk."
Eunuch Cao brought people to the empty side hall and asked, "But what does the prince have to say to the Holy One?"
"Young man, I have something to say." Eunuch Guo calmed down and lowered his voice, "The waiter Feng is not an honest person."
Eunuch Cao was surprised: "How do you say that?"
Since Li Shao was not being sued, Gonggong Guo naturally modified his words when he spoke: "When leaving the city yesterday, the princess got off the car and went to the soup kitchen shack to look around. After being delayed for a while, many people saw the prince going out.
What Feng Neishi means is that the princess did it deliberately, just to create more rumors."
Eunuch Cao frowned: "What? Does it mean that even if you don't meet Xiong Xiazi, there will be a censor coming out to scold His Highness today?"
"I don't even know what he meant, but he spoke openly and said this to His Highness. Isn't this a estrangement?" Guo Gonggong said, "Your Highness trusts him now..."
Eunuch Cao nodded understandingly.
There is no shortage of honest people in the palace, nor is there any shortage of restless people, but being so restless around His Highness will make it difficult for everyone to live a peaceful life.
"The Za family found out, and they replaced him in the past two days," said Eunuch Cao, patting Eunuch Guo on the shoulder, "His Highness is responsible for doing things, whether it is difficult or not, and simple but not easy either. You just need to be able to handle it clearly.
"
When Eunuch Guo heard this, he immediately showed his loyalty.
After this conversation, Eunuch Cao went to the imperial court to reply.
"How is Shao'er's health?" The Holy Master was criticizing the book without raising his head.
Eunuch Cao said: "Your Highness seems to be more energetic than before dawn."
"Did Ge Aiqing show mercy?"
"No," said Eunuch Cao, "whatever I said to you in the morning will be the same to His Highness."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The Holy Spirit snorted.
I was really angry at the time. When I calmed down and thought about it, the anger dissipated and I felt even more chilled.
Shaoer is playful, but it was his own decision to go to the paddock, so he will not blame Shaoer for this.
In the early morning, he was angry because Shao'er talked nonsense about Xu Jian, but now, the other two words were lingering in his mind.
"Filial piety".
As a parent, who doesn’t want their children to be filial? If a son is filial, it will be too late for the father to laugh.
Shaoer is very filial.
This meaning, Xu Jian said, the imperial concubine said it, the empress dowager also said it, and he himself understood it. There shouldn't be anything worth pondering, but at this moment, the emperor couldn't get rid of it.
Xu Jian said before that Shaoer was very confident in winning the favor of his elders.
Ge Yushi used "filial piety" to satirize Shaoer, as if filial piety is not a quality, but a means.
But once "filial piety" is regarded as a means, many things will be different.
The Holy One closed his eyes.
After being on the throne for more than ten years, there were still times when I was naive when I was the prince. Now, I look at things straightforwardly and become much more utilitarian.
The admiration of concubines and the admiration of sons, even if there is true love, are mostly benefits with a clear price tag.
He sees things very clearly, his calculations are clear, and his expectations are just that, so he won't be too disappointed.
But Shaoer has always been different.
Between father and son, he considered himself a good father. He invested a lot of love and care. He turned his longing for his wife into concern for Shaoer, so that he suddenly realized that Shaoer responded to him.
His filial piety might be mixed with "intentions", and he couldn't help but feel chilled.
He hoped that this was a misunderstanding and that he had misjudged Shao Er in a single thought.
He needs to be more calm and collected.
"You go to the Duke Fu's Mansion," the Holy Master cleared his hoarse voice, "to visit Xu Jian."
Eunuch Cao saw that the Holy Master was in a bad mood and could not persuade him at this time, so he agreed and left.
At this time, Lin Yunyan had just woken up in the Duke Fu's mansion.
The snow stopped outside, but the cold wind was still strong, making the window panels whine.
It was warm in the room, especially under the quilt, and I even sweated a little.
She just looked at Xu Jian, who was still sleeping, quietly for a quarter of an hour before getting up first.
Xu Jian was alert. As soon as Lin Yunyan moved, he woke up and subconsciously held her back and pressed her into his arms.
Lin Yunyan was startled. When she leaned over, she almost touched Xu Jian's right leg. She was so anxious that she kept shouting "be careful".
Xu Jian said hoarsely: "I didn't touch it."
"Does it hurt? Still don't feel anything?" After being hit, Lin Yunyan pressed her hand on Xu Jian's leg, gradually increasing her strength.
"It hurts a little, but it's okay." Xu Jian said.
Lin Yunyan breathed a sigh of relief.
Feeling pain is much better than not feeling it.
"Speaking of which, I was very lucky yesterday," Lin Yunyan said with much ease after the night passed. "So many people went into the forest, but they haven't found you yet."
Xu Jian chuckled: "That place is not easy to find."
Li Shao was able to meet the blind bear head-on. Shen Chen and the others were well prepared and led Li Shao to the black bear's lair.
Xu Jian knew the place and had discussed the route in advance, so he could quickly get to the approximate location after getting rid of the others, and then find the three people through the traces left on the ground.
After that, he took Li Shao and fled deeper and deeper, while Xuansu Shenchen followed them, destroying and disguising traces at the same time.
The place was hard to find and the traces were messy. Coupled with luck, they lasted as long as they expected.
"The prince is really tired and fainted?" Lin Yunyan asked.
Xu Jian smiled again: "Yes."
He was prepared to plot against Li Shao, but he didn't know that he was exhausted and escaped danger. He couldn't hold on and passed away without letting Xu Jian take action at all.
"This morning should be very lively." Lin Yunyan sighed.
Xu Jian also felt a little pity.
There were so many arrangements, but I didn’t like this fun.
However, based on his understanding of the courtiers, especially the censors, he could somewhat imagine it.
After talking about the conversation, the two stood up.
Knowing that Mrs. Xu was thinking about her, Lin Yunyan sent someone to the backyard to speak, and asked Dr. Yue to come over later to prepare for today's treatment.
Unexpectedly, the first person to come was not Mrs. Xu, but Eunuch Cao.
Eunuch Cao looked worried: "Your Majesty is very concerned about the condition of the Duke of Guo. He asked the Zajia family to come and take a look. What does the doctor say to the Duke of Guo?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern," Xu Jian said, "It's still the same as before. I pressed the button and took the needle when I came back..."
Lin Yunyan made a pot of hot tea and handed one to Eunuch Cao.
"My father-in-law arrived in Beijing with us last night. After returning to the palace, he had a lot of things to think about. He also had to serve the Holy Emperor and go to court, so he probably didn't get much rest," she said. "This tea will refresh the mind and relieve fatigue."
Eunuch Cao thanked him profusely.
Xu Jian asked about the prince.
"His Highness has a fever. The fever was severe at night. The Za family went to the East Palace just now and it seems to be better." When Eunuch Cao said this, he smiled and said, "In the morning, Shangge Yushi gave a long speech. Oops, the Za family heard it.
Trembling.
The Holy One also asked Mr. Ge to go to the East Palace and repeat it. His Highness was still burning and could not recover from what he heard.
Alas, it’s just bad luck that I met a blind bear.”
Just as he was talking, Doctor Yue came.
Eunuch Cao made room for him, asked briefly, and his eyes fell on Xu Jian's exposed right leg.
Seeing this, he frowned.
There was a large area of blue on the leg, coming out from under the skin, and it looked even more shocking than what I saw in the paddock yesterday.
"Doctor Yue," Eunuch Cao asked, "Is this injury of the Grand Duke bad again?"
"It's not that it's bad again, it's that it's not getting better at all," Dr. Yue said with a sullen face, as if he was scolding a disobedient patient. "The treatment has been so hard these past few months, and I can barely get a little better. Yesterday
If you come here, all your hard work will be in vain."
Lin Yunyan glanced at Dr. Yue.
How can we say that this old doctor has many thoughts and is quick-witted?
Doctor Yue didn't know what they had arranged, so he only relied on the medicated oil Xu Jian found on purpose in the early morning to tell the severity.
The words "It's not easy at all" made Eunuch Cao's old face turn red.
Naturally, he didn't believe that Duke Fu Guo was pretending to be injured. He was blushing for the prince.
When I think of what His Highness said, look at Duke Fu's legs! Fortunately, he was brave enough to insist on speaking "the truth" in front of the Holy Emperor.
While watching Dr. Yue applying pressure to Xu Jian, Eunuch Cao talked to Lin Yunyan.
Believe it or not, he had to be aware of some rumors and tell the truth if there was a need later.
"There is nothing you can do when you encounter a black bear. The main thing is to go hunting in the middle of winter. It's Laba again. The censors will count every one they catch..." Cao Gong said fairly, "Zhajia remembers that the Chengyi Prefecture has always been a porridge provider, right?"
"Yes, together with several families in the alley, they all set up tents outside the west city gate," Lin Yunyan said, "I just got married, and Laba happened before things in the house were sorted out.
Fortunately, my mother-in-law supported me and allowed me to build a shed, provide money and two people, and leave the rest alone. This saved me a lot of trouble.
I just felt bad about it, so I passed by it yesterday and took a look.
If the new daughter-in-law can be lazy, she will definitely not be able to compete with her parents-in-law next year and will have to build a separate shed."
That was "intentionally done". Since you did it, you were ready to be asked.
The more generous your answer is, the less likely you are to be suspicious.
Eunuch Cao didn't say much, but he had a judgment in his heart, especially since the prince had already misunderstood that Duke Fu was pretending to be injured, and he would not add another crime to the two of them when the princess was in good order.
Thinking about this, he became even more angry at Feng's wife.
He didn't take good care of His Highness and even did some provocative things, huh!
