morning thoughts

The next day, before dawn, Wei Chengji hurried to Ji Yu's place from the small courtyard.

The servants woke Ji Yu up and said that it was General Wei who had arrived. He hurriedly threw off the quilt and put on his clothes and came out. Seeing his anxious expression, he covered his face and yawned and asked, "What's wrong with General Wei?"

"Last night, I don't know what the Third Highness ate and tossed all night. I didn't sleep until it was almost dawn, but I fell asleep after less than half an hour." Wei Chengji paused, thinking of Ling Chao's tossing, Can't help worrying, "Your Highness is a noble person, I have to come to inform you of something in the Annan Palace."

Ji Yu felt nervous when he heard Wei Chengji's words, and he couldn't help walking out as soon as Wei Chengji's words fell: "General Wei, go and have a look with me. I'll ask the servants to arrange another residence for General Wei, so that the general can have a good rest."

Wei Chengji didn't care, he waved his hand and went to Ling Chao with Ji Yu.

"The Third Highness is not a hypocritical person, I'm afraid it's really a serious illness."

Ji Yu nodded, and entered the room through the curtain, and saw a few servants surrounding Ling Chao, handing water and making him vomit.

As the sky was getting brighter, Ling Chao's face was pale and his eyes were black and blue. Anyone who looked at him looked sick. Ji Yu stepped forward, held his hand, helped him to lie down, and asked aloud: "The third highness is sick?" Why is no one coming back and forth to me at night?"

"I didn't ask anyone to bother you. Maybe I ate something unclean yesterday and got a stomachache. It doesn't matter." Ling Chao smiled, and the next moment he pushed Ji Yu away and retched.

Doctors from Prince Annan's residence came in wave after wave, and no one knew about the tossing. Ji Jingyang came back from the camp with the ear report.

Ji Yu looked gloomy, frowning and came out from his King Annan, and saw Ji Jingyang who had just dismounted and went straight to Ling Chao to find out, and asked aloud, "Second brother, where are you going?"

Ji Jingyang stopped and turned around, and said with a smile: "I heard that His Highness the Third Highness is ill, and I came to visit him specially. If there is a mistake in staying in our mansion, the whole Annan Palace will not be able to bear the blame."

Having said that, he brought the conversation back to Ji Yu.

"Speaking of which, the prince stays in the mansion every day, why can't he even take care of the third highness? I heard that the prince in Huajing was not so incompetent in the past. I heard that several princes were very fond of the prince. What's the matter? After leaving Lichuan, have you completely forgotten about serving others?"

Ji Jingyang's words were ugly, and he said all the stupid things he heard before. It's not surprising that he knew these things when he had a good relationship with Ling Yu in Huajing. Hear nothing.

It was rare for Ji Jingyang to show off his prestige with pride before leaving.

Ling Chao was about to fall asleep when he was weak. Ji Jingyang was blocked by Yun An and was not allowed to enter. His eyes turned cold and he said, "The minister came to pay his respects to the third highness, and left after a short look. Otherwise, the minister must die." Peace of mind."

Yun An blocked Ji Jingyang's way like a door god, nodded respectfully, and said, "It's not because the slave didn't let the second son see His Highness, it's because His Highness just fell asleep, and His Highness has been ill since he was a child, and he fell ill again just after arriving in Lichuan. I'm worried about how to write the report for General Wei's return to Beijing at night, His Majesty is most concerned about His Highness's health."

Ji Jingyang was said to be dubious about what he said, so he had no choice but to give up, and said to Yun An: "Since that's the case, I won't bother His Highness the Third Prince to rest, and I'll let Eunuch Fan tell you that I have visited him."

Yun An responded with a smile, bowed and said, "It's natural."

Ji Jingyang thought that since His Majesty valued the Third Highness, and knew the relationship between Wei Chengji and the Third Highness, it must be difficult for Ji Yu to explain if something happened to the Third Highness, that's why he was so nervous.

No wonder Ling Chu deliberately told him that Ling Chao had come to Lichuan, and told him to play it by ear, presumably in the hope that His Highness the Third Highness would never leave Lichuan.

Regardless of the relationship between Huajing and China, Ji Jingyang couldn't let them make decisions when he arrived in Lichuan. Seeing his father's body getting stronger day by day, he knew it was time to do something.

After making up his mind, he deliberately asked Wei Chengji to have a drink in the restaurant two days later, in order to avoid suspicion and also to find out.

That night, Ling Chao appeared in Ji Yu's room with a flushed face, not at all like a seriously ill person.

Ji Yu glanced at him expressionlessly, and complained a little: "You're making too much noise, Ji Jingyang is already suspicious, and I'm afraid he'll be dubious."

He asked someone to release the news early in the morning. The doctor who had just sent him out of the mansion was stopped by Ji Jingyang's people to inquire about the truth of Ling Chao's illness. If he had no doubts, he would not have come back for this trip in person.

But Ling Chao said nonchalantly: "Let him make trouble, the more he doesn't believe it, the more he will ask and test it. It just saves us time."

Ji Yu thought about it for a while and didn't say anything else, and Ling Chao was right, "He even made an appointment with General Wei today, so he must be ready to do something."

"I'm afraid that's the case. I'll be leaving in a while. You must be careful in Lichuan. If you lose to him, don't go head-to-head. As long as Ling Yu doesn't pass on the news, Ji Jingyang will always be afraid."

Ji Yu nodded. He wanted to tell Ling Chao something, but he didn't know where to start. During this period of time, the two of them got together less often and separated more, but they got used to it, but they couldn't help caring about each other. This feeling But it's a bit unpleasant.

The two of them haven't had a good conversation together for so long, and they both calmed down in the face of the imminent separation.

Ji Yu couldn't help but blinked and looked at Ling Chao, and suddenly said, "It's getting late, so don't delay."

Ling Chao: "????"

He thought that Ji Yu would be reluctant to part with him, but in the end he told him to leave early. Ling Chao lost his temper with him in a hurry. Let go of the person, humming: "You have no conscience."

Ling Chao left with resentment, but Ji Yu fell asleep dazedly because he had been tossing so hard for the past two days and got stuck on the pillow, but he couldn't sleep well because of something in his heart, and woke up several times in the middle of the night.

Ji Jingyang stood on the porch staring at the closed door and asked loudly, "Ji Yu hasn't got up yet?"

His voice was really loud, Ji Yu sat up in a daze after being woken up, and asked outside: "Who is outside, why is it so noisy?"

Without waiting for the servant to reply, Ji Jingyang pushed the door open and entered, looked at Ji Yu and snorted, and said mockingly: "After all, it is the prince Jingui, the outside world is in such a mess, the prince still wants to sleep."

Ji Yu rubbed his eyes, shuffled his shoes, and was washed by the servants. After finishing cleaning up, he raised his eyes to give Ji Jingyang a look, and said, "If you have anything to say, just tell me. Don't be a yin and yang guide here."

"Last night, there were assassins in Lichuan City, and Ji Xun was injured."

Ji Jingyang always likes to exaggerate on these matters, but today he said it lightly. Ji Yu looked at him sideways, and asked with the lid of the cup: "Then why don't you investigate this matter and come and tell me? Why? Do you want me to investigate this matter?"

"Oh," Ji Jingyang sneered: "Since I am willing to generously give up my authority to let Shizi check, can Shizi's weak body withstand such a toss? I came to tell you that I will concentrate all the troops in the city Get up, my father and His Highness the Third Highness are both in the mansion, there is no guarantee that they will not become the next target of the thieves, for the sake of safety, the Annan Palace will be guarded by the army guards from today onwards."

"What? Are you going to imprison us?"

Ji Jingyang raised his eyebrows proudly, but said in his usual tone: "My son is worried, I am only thinking about the safety of my father and His Highness the Third Highness. If there is nothing serious, my son will stay in the mansion well."

Seeing him like this, Ji Yu couldn't help snorting, and said in a deep voice, "Ji Jingyang, you have all kinds of schemes, but not everything will be as you wish."

"If it's not as good, I don't need to worry about it."

Ji Jingyang only thought of Ji Yu's quick-talking, and didn't take it to heart. When he left with a flick of his sleeves, he specially told the guards to keep an eye on Ji Yu.

-

Huajing, in the palace.

His Majesty's health has not been very good in the past few days, his condition has been ups and downs without a stop, and he has not improved after taking a few medicines according to the prescription prescribed by the imperial physician.

His Majesty is in poor health, and state affairs are naturally delayed, Ling Yu is handy in helping His Majesty, but His Majesty has a taboo in his heart that he does not want power to be left behind, so it is better to disperse it.

In the Nuan Pavilion, Ling Jun fed His Majesty the medicine with his own hands, and then gave His Majesty water to clear his mouth. After such a toss, Ling Jun didn't see it as hard work, but he was more stable than before.

Satisfied, the emperor raised his hand to the top of Ling Jun's head, and said with a smile, "Now you are the only one who serves me wholeheartedly by my side."

Ling Jun raised his head and lowered it slightly, and asked softly, "Father, do you miss Third Brother?"

The emperor wanted Ling Chao to come back and share the affairs of the court with Ling Chu. After hearing Ling Jun's words, he turned to the eunuch beside him and asked, "Is there any news from the third prince in Lichuan these days?"

The eunuch nodded and replied: "The zhezi are all with the eldest prince, and they haven't been sent to Yuqian yet."

The emperor thought for a while, Ling Xuan hadn't presented the booklet for three days, his eyes darkened but he didn't say anything.

The emperor had to rest within half an hour after taking the medicine. Ling Jun waited for him to lie down before retreating from the warm pavilion.As soon as Ling Jun left, the servants in front of the imperial court went to Ling Chu to go over everything in the Nuan Pavilion in detail.

Ling Chu didn't speak after listening, looked at the notebook in his hand from Li Chuan and smiled, handed it to the palace servants and said: "Pass this to Your Majesty, so that His Majesty can read it when he wakes up. "

The palace man took it with both hands and said, "Yes."

Ling Chu said again: "Father is not in good health recently, and his thoughts are becoming more and more serious. You who serve in front of the imperial court should be more cautious. Father wants to know the news of His Highness, and I will hand over Li Chuan's brochure in the future." You don’t have to bring it in front of me.”

——I'm afraid that if you don't listen now, you will never hear it again in the future.
