The prince is not doing his job [traveling]

Early the next morning, when Pei Ze woke up from his sleep and slowly opened his eyes, he saw Xiao Yanzhi leaning on the pillow and looking at him with his head propped on his hands.

"Are you awake?" Xiao Yanzhi looked up at the light outside the window, "You slept for a long time today. The emperor sent someone in the morning to say that you don't have to go to court today."

Hearing this, Pei Ze also raised his head to look at the sky outside the window, seeing the bright sky outside the window, Pei Ze was also slightly surprised, but then lay back down again.

"When did you wake up?" Pei Ze raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Yanzhi.

Xiao Yanzhi pursed his lips and said, "I woke up before dawn, my body hurts more today than yesterday, and I can't sleep."

Pei Ze frowned, and asked distressedly: "Did the imperial physician give you a prescription for pain relief?"

"Yes," Xiao Yanzhi smiled, "but I was afraid they would come in and wake you up, so I didn't ask someone to do it. It's rare that you can sleep for such a long time."

After hearing this, Pei Ze immediately jumped up from the bed and walked out quickly.After a while, Xiao Yanzhi heard the voice of Pei Ze arranging for someone to boil medicine.

"Lie down well." After returning to the room, seeing Xiao Yanzhi still leaning on his side, Pei Ze instructed nervously, but in the end he climbed onto the bed again, personally supported Xiao Yanzhi, and put Xiao Yanzhi down again. , "It doesn't matter if the mind is crooked, but what if the bones are also crooked?"

Hearing such a joke from Pei Ze at this moment, Xiao Yanzhi suddenly felt dumbfounded.

"You still want me if you grow crooked."

Pei Ze glanced at Xiao Yan, and then said: "Then for my own sake, I have to take care of you."

Xiao Yanzhi narrowed his eyes and smiled.

After glancing at Xiao Yanzhi's smiling face, Pei Ze changed his mind and said, "Forget it, if you grow crooked, no one will snatch you from me."

The smile on Xiao Yanzhi's face froze, and then he gave Pei Ze a blank look: "Have you talked a lot of nonsense lately?"

"En," Pei Ze nodded, "Close to ink is black."

Xiao Yanzhi twitched the corner of his mouth and turned his head to the other side.

Pei Ze smiled, and said again: "I'll go back to Daji Hall and change my clothes, and I'll be back in a while."

Not wanting to speak, the depressed Xiao Yanzhi just lazily raised his hand and waved it.

After patting Xiao Yanzhi's butt, Pei Zecai turned around and strode away.

After a while, Zhang Shaosheng and Xiao Chunyue came to Xiao Yanzhi's bedroom together, one with medicine in his hand, and the other with breakfast for Xiao Yanzhi and Pei Ze.

"I have seen the prince." Zhang Shaosheng nodded to Xiao Yanzhi first, and then found a place to put down the medicine bowl in his hand.

Originally Xiao Chunyue planned to walk directly in front of Xiao Yanzhi, but Zhang Shaosheng came suddenly, Xiao Chunyue's footsteps stopped abruptly, and after imitating Xiao Yanzhi's nod, she put the breakfast on the table.

When Xiao Yanzhi heard the voice and stood up, he happened to see Xiao Chunyue saluting in a panic.

"Sister Chunyue doesn't need to be formal, this Wanchun Palace is where I live, no one will pick on Miss Chunyue."

Last night was an assassination and an interview in the palace, sister Chunyue was still in a panic, right?

Xiao Chunyue looked around nervously and said: "This is the imperial palace, how can there be no rules?"

Seeing Xiao Chunyue's trembling appearance, and recalling Xiao Junmeng's carelessness when he first arrived at Wucheng Palace, Xiao Yanzhi secretly sighed, thinking that Xiao Chunyue seemed to have really suffered a lot these years.

"Sister Chunyue brought something delicious?" As he said that, Xiao Yanzhi moved and wanted to get out of bed.

"Hey! What are you going to do?" Seeing Xiao Yanzhi move, Zhang Shaosheng immediately stopped him, "Do you still remember that you are injured? Don't move."

After speaking, Zhang Shaosheng moved a kang table and put it on Xiao Yanzhi's bed.

"When King Wu Cheng left, he specifically ordered you not to get out of bed," Zhang Shaosheng said after putting all the food on the kang table, "I heard that you still have a broken bone in this leg, but how do I think you don't know the pain? "

"It hurts," Xiao Yanzhi moved back to his original position, "It really hurts everywhere."

"Then do you look like you're in pain?" Zhang Shaosheng said with a worried face, "You've hurt a bone, can't you just lie down obediently?"

"He can't lie down," Xiao Chunyue couldn't help interjecting, "He couldn't stay still since he was a child, like a monkey."

After saying this, Xiao Chunyue immediately covered her mouth, looking panicked as if she had said something wrong.

Xiao Yanzhi smiled helplessly: "Forget it, Sister Chunyue, please bear with it a little longer, you will be able to leave the palace later."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Yanzhi began to eat.

Xiao Chunyue stood by the bed and looked at Xiao Yanzhi, hesitant to speak, making Zhang Shaosheng anxious for her.

Xiao Yanzhi naturally also noticed Xiao Chunyue's uneasy look, after thinking about it, he put down his chopsticks, looked at Xiao Chunyue and asked with a smile like a spring breeze: "Sister Chunyue, is there anything you want to say to me?"

Xiao Chunyue hesitated again, and then said: "Speaking of which, I... I still won't stay with you?"

Xiao Yanzhi raised his eyebrows, and asked in doubt, "What's the matter? Is there any place Miss Chunyue wants to go?"

"That's not true." Xiao Chunyue still sat down on the edge of the bed. After sitting down, she felt that something was wrong and stood up again. "I just... I just think it's better not to stay by your side, lest others say You gossip."

Xiao Yanzhi smiled, picked up the chopsticks again, and said, "If Sister Chunyue is only worried about this, then don't worry about it. But if Sister Chunyue has other things she wants to do, just tell me, and I will take care of it for Chunyue." Sister Yue arranges."

"That's not necessary," Xiao Chunyue quickly waved her hands, and said, "I've saved a lot of money over the years, it's probably enough."

Xiao Yan was startled, raised his head to look at Xiao Chunyue, and asked, "Sister Chunyue, do you think after what happened last night, you can still get your money back?"

Xiao Chunyue was also taken aback by Xiao Yanzhi's question, "No, it's impossible not to get it back, right?"

Xiao Yanzhi looked at Xiao Chunyue and didn't speak.

Can I get it back?Not to mention that last night's scuffle destroyed half of the Jialefang, they didn't take the money with them when they left, and they didn't inform the madam, if they go back to look for it now, what if the madam insists that Xiao Chunyue has no savings?

Seeing that Xiao Yanzhi didn't speak, Xiao Chunyue exclaimed immediately, "Ah!! That's the hard-earned money my mother has saved for half her life!"

This scream stunned Xiao Yanzhi and Zhang Shaosheng, and even Pei Ze who had just entered the door was also frightened.

He just went to the Daji Hall to change clothes, and by the way, ordered Donggui and Xu Ren to withdraw everyone in the Daji Hall to Prince Wucheng's mansion. With just a few words, how did Xiao Yanzhi provoke his sister?Hard-earned money for half a lifetime?what's the situation?

"What's the matter?" Pei Ze asked after calming down.

Xiao Yanzhi replied: "Sister Chunyue said that she still has savings in the music workshop, and she wants to go back and get it back."

Pei Ze didn't take it seriously and said, "Let Li An get it after returning home."

Is it afraid that the madam of the music workshop will not give it?Then let the people of Wucheng Prince's Mansion take it, the bustard wouldn't dare to refuse it, right?

Xiao Yanzhi thought for a while and said, "Let Liu Hanqing and Li An go together."

Although Li An is capable, he is a person who has never done business. Even if he went to reason with that fine-looking madam, he would probably be taken in by them, so let Liu Hanqing go.

"En, good." Pei Ze nodded, then took the bowl of medicine and walked to the bedside, "Have you finished your breakfast?"

Xiao Yanzhi nodded and said, "Yes, I'm full."

"Drink the medicine," Pei Ze handed out the bowl of medicine, and said, "Go home after drinking."

The word "go home" made Xiao Yanzhi feel good after hearing the word, he took the bowl of medicine readily and loosened it into his mouth, but as soon as the tip of his tongue touched the medicine soup, Xiao Yanzhi froze.

"That..." Taking away the medicine bowl, Xiao Yanzhi asked Pei Ze pitifully, "Can you go home directly?"

"No." Pei Ze said without thinking.

"Really not? No discussion?"

Pei Ze sighed, leaned over to take the bowl of medicine from Xiao Yanzhi's hand, just when Xiao Yanzhi thought that Pei Ze was going to pour the medicine away, Pei Ze suddenly raised his head and poured the whole bowl of medicine into it mouth, and then grabbed Xiao Yanzhi's head while Xiao Yanzhi was in a daze, and forcefully poured the medicine into it.

Zhang Shaosheng's reaction was quick, and he turned his back as soon as he saw Pei Ze taking the medicine, so he didn't see any scene that made people blush and heartbeat, but Xiao Chunyue didn't have time to dodge, and watched the scene of mouth-to-mouth intimacy and dosing When he came back to his senses and covered his blushing face with a scream, Pei Ze's medicine had already been taken.

"Which imperial doctor prescribed the prescription?" Pei Ze frowned and looked at Xiao Yanzhi.

He had drank quite a few pain-relieving decoctions in his life, but none of the prescriptions prescribed by a doctor tasted weirder than this one.What kind of smell is this?

Xiao Yanzhi looked at Pei Ze with a grief-stricken look, and complained: "You don't love me anymore..."

"Love," Pei Ze hugged Xiao Yanzhi horizontally, turned and walked out, "I drank with you."

"Will you still drink this in the future?" Thinking that he might have to drink three servings of this decoction every day before he recovers from his injury, Xiao Yanzhi felt that life was hopeless.

Pei Ze hesitated for a moment, then said, "Have someone change a pair for you."

Later, after Pei Ze went to the Imperial Medical Office to inquire, he found out that the decoction was prescribed by five imperial physicians from the Imperial Medical Office. The medicine in it is somewhat strange, although there is no harm, but the taste is really not flattering.

After Pei Ze hugged Xiao Yanzhi and left the dormitory, Zhang Shaosheng came to Xiao Chunyue's side, patted Xiao Chunyue's shoulder, and said, "You will get used to it in the future."

Only then did Xiao Chunyue put down the hand covering her face, and asked Zhang Shaosheng, "Yanzhi and Wu Chengwang are...?"

"It's just what you think." Zhang Shaosheng patted Xiao Chunyue's shoulder again, and then walked forward.

Xiao Chunyue grabbed Zhang Shaosheng's arm, and asked in a little panic, "Does Your Majesty know?"

Zhang Shaosheng shrugged and said, "If Your Majesty knew, wouldn't the world be in chaos? You should act as if you didn't know."

Xiao Chunyue frowned slightly, then followed Zhang Shaosheng and left Wanchun Palace.

When the group returned to Prince Wucheng's mansion, the main room of Prince Wucheng's mansion was already full of people. Not only Lian Sheng and Xiushui were invited by Li An to take care of Xiao Yanzhi, but also Liu Hanqing, Xiao's brothers and sisters and Yan Sheng were all there. .

"Brother!" Seeing Pei Ze entering the door with Xiao Yanzhi in his arms, Xiao Junmeng rushed up, followed by Lian Sheng and Xiushui.

"Oh! My lord, where are you hurt? Does it hurt? Does it hurt?" Seeing Xiao Yanzhi's face, Lian Sheng's nose was sour and he shed tears.

Before Xiao Yanzhi could answer Lian Sheng's question, Xiao Junmeng complained with red eyes: "Brother, you never fight with others, why did you suddenly start fighting with King Wu? Then Pingkangfang is full of women, Why did you go to Pingkang Square at night? You went right away, why did you fight with King Wu over a woman? Brother, you don’t like women, so why don’t you just give them up to King Wu? Your lord, don’t even look at them. my brother!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Hanqing hurried over to take Xiao Junmeng away, and said in a low voice, "I told you that's not the case, why did you even complain about King Wu Cheng?"

This girl is also a little too courageous.

Hearing Liu Hanqing's words, Xiao Junmeng's tears burst out immediately, and he choked and said, "It's not like that, what else could it be? King Wu is also a bad guy! Brother is also King Wu's brother, how could he He beat his elder brother for a woman? Even if he didn't treat his elder brother as an elder brother, how could anyone fight against a powerless person! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Powerless... Hearing this adjective, several men present looked at Xiao Yanzhi one after another. Even Xiao Ren'an and Xiao Xiangsheng never thought that their elder brother was a person without power. After all, they would. Xiao Yanzhi taught all that bit of boxing and kicking kung fu.

"Let me go." Seeing Xiao Junmeng crying, Xiao Yanzhi's heart ached.

Hearing this, Pei Ze glared at Xiao Yan, and then said to the others: "Yanzhi can't go down to the ground now, let's all sit down in the main room and talk."

Turning around and instructing Li An to move a bed into the main room, Pei Ze carried Xiao Yanzhi into the main room.

Sitting on the couch in the main room, Xiao Yanzhi always felt that something was weird, but when he saw Xiao Junmeng sitting on the side of the couch and clung to his clothes, Xiao Yanzhi put aside the slightly awkward feeling the back of the head.

"Stop crying," Xiao Yanzhi patted Xiao Junmeng's head, "Aren't I fine?"

"Where is it good?!" Xiao Junmeng raised his head, crying and staring at Xiao Yanzhi, "I smell like medicine, what's so good?"

Xiao Yanzhi raised his hand and tapped Xiao Junmeng's forehead, and said, "You girl! Are you despising me now? Forgot that you grew up soaked in medicine jars when you were young? Didn't you smell the medicine when you were young? Are you used to it?"

"Then, can the smell of medicine on your body be the same as that on others?" Xiao Junmeng said with widened eyes, "What kind of woman is she? What ability does she have that makes me prefer to fight with others to keep her?" she?"

"How do you talk!" Xiao Yanzhi pinched Xiao Junmeng's nose, then turned his head and waved to Xiao Chunyue, saying, "Sister Chunyue, come here."

Xiao Chunyue stood at the farthest place from Xiao Yanzhi and the circle of people around Xiao Yanzhi, shaking her head and waving her hands when she met Xiao Yanzhi's gaze.

Seeing this, Xiao Yanzhi scratched the corner of his mouth and said helplessly, "Forget it, let's introduce you to another day."

Xiao Junmeng frowned and looked Xiao Chunyue from head to toe, then leaned into Xiao Yanzhi's ear, and asked in a low voice: "Brother, are you really empathizing?"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Xiao Yanzhi also leaned into Xiao Junmeng's ear and whispered, "That's your sister. Remember what I told you?"

Xiao Junmeng raised his hand to wipe away the tears on his face, then looked at Xiao Chunyue carefully, and asked in surprise, "That's my sister?"

She had heard all about her sister from her elder brother. The second and third elder brothers had never seen her before, and they never expected to see her in their lifetime!But is that my sister?It seems... nothing real.

Seeing that Xiao Junmeng looked at Xiao Chunyue with only curiosity but no excitement, Xiao Yanzhi couldn't help but secretly sighed in his heart.

Junmeng's feeling at this moment is probably exactly the same as when he first met the emperor, Xu Lishan and Xu Liqian. Even if he knows in his heart that the person in front of him is a relative who is indeed related to him by blood, but at the same time he has never met. stranger.

While Xiao Yanzhi was thinking about how to improve the relationship between Xiao Chunyue and his siblings, Pei Ze had already sat down and chatted with Yan Sheng.

"Why is Young Master Yan free today?" Pei Ze started politely.

Yan Sheng glanced at Xiao Yanzhi, and said: "When I got up early in the morning, I heard the servants in the mansion talk about the fight between the King of Shu and the King of Wu in Pingkang Fang. I was curious, so let's take a look."

If someone like Xiao Yanzhi got into a fight with someone, it would be for two reasons, one is for the people he cares about, such as his younger siblings and this King Wu Cheng in front of him, and the other is because he has to.However, Xiao Yanzhi and Wu Wang fought in Pingkangfang. No matter how you think about it, this matter has nothing to do with the first reason, so Yan Sheng thought it should be the second reason.

But what would force Xiao Yanzhi to fight his nominal brother in such a public place?Is it really for a woman as the rumors say?If Yan Sheng doesn't believe it, then the rest may be due to political reasons.

Thinking of this, Yan Sheng followed Xiao's brothers and sisters to Prince Wucheng's Mansion early in the morning, firstly to see how Xiao Yanzhi was injured, and secondly to see if there was anything Xiao Yanzhi could do to help. .

From Yan Sheng's point of view, Xiao Yanzhi was just acting thick-skinned. If something troublesome happened, Xiao Yanzhi would not take the initiative to bring his friend into it.

"Has it already spread?" Pei Ze's eyebrows moved slightly.

"En." Yan Sheng nodded, "It must have spread a little too quickly."

What happened last night after all the gates of the workshops were locked, was able to spread from the east to the west of the city early in the morning. If the news hadn't grown wings and flew all over the city at night, it would have been the news. Some people wait in various workshops before dawn, and publicize it when they see people, so that they can hear such things when they wake up.

"What exactly did you say?" Xu Liqian really wanted to cause Xiao Yanzhi some trouble before he left.

Yan Sheng said: "The king of Shu was so angry that he became a concubine. He not only beat his younger brother, but also framed him, forcing the king of Wu to leave Chang'an City to save his life."

Pei Ze couldn't help chuckling, but didn't say anything.

Yan Sheng squinted at Pei Ze, and then asked, "Want to help?"

Pei Ze raised his eyes to look at Xiao Yanzhi who was surrounded by Xiao's brothers and sisters, and said, "Young Master Yan can help us take care of Ren'an and the others, that is the greatest favor we can do."

"That's easy to say," Yan Sheng asked again, "Wu Wang hasn't been captured yet, so maybe Wu Wang has already thrown off his pursuers and fled?"

"[-]% yes." Pei Ze turned cold.

He really didn't expect that Xu Liqian, who looked as foolish as Xiao Yanzhi, would be so capable, or is it that capable people like to pretend to be that dishonest these days?

After pondering for a moment, Yan Sheng said: "I will make the Yan family caravan pay more attention. If I find him, I will let you know."

Pei Ze turned his head to look at Yan Sheng, and said, "I don't want to bother Young Master Yan to take action on these matters."

Yan Sheng also turned his head to look at Pei Ze, and said, "It's not for you. If there is a war, it will not be good for the merchants."

His Yan family does not open iron mines or sell grain. If there is a war, they will not be able to make a fortune from the war. On the contrary, the caravans traveling all over the place will be immobilized by the war.Compared with these princes and nobles, he is more afraid of fighting. After all, these people still have salaries to support them, but if the business of his Yan family stops, then the Yan family will be left with nothing from top to bottom.

"Then it's Young Master Lao Yan." Since this matter is also related to Yan Sheng's own interests, Pei Ze has nothing to be polite about.

After asking all the necessary questions, Yan Sheng stood up and walked to Xiao Yanzhi's side.

Seeing Yan Sheng approaching, the three brothers and sister Xiao Ren'an immediately gave up their positions.

Yan Sheng's eyes turned on Xiao Yanzhi's body, and then he asked, "Is the injury serious?"

Xiao Yanzhi smiled and said: "It's not serious, just a few bones are cracked, but the soup prescribed by the imperial doctor is too bad to drink."

Yan Sheng nodded and said, "Send someone over later, let him show you."

Xiao Yanzhi blinked and asked, "Will the soup prescribed by that man be better than the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician?"

Yan Sheng smiled lightly: "I don't guarantee it, but he is very good at healing bone injuries."

Xiao Yanzhi curled his lips, then nodded and said, "That's fine, just lend me some use."

"I'll rent it to you, you have to pay. Rest." After saying that, Yan Sheng strode towards the gate of Prince Wucheng's mansion.

Looking at Yan Sheng's back, Xiao Yanzhi shouted depressingly: "Why are you so stingy? Why did you still charge money when you said you would give it to me?"

Yan Sheng didn't answer, and left Wucheng Palace in a blink of an eye.

Xiao Yanzhi smiled again.

He still prepared a few jars of good bars for Young Master Yan.
