Hongdi

When Yu Xun woke up again, he felt as if he had taken a bath in rice soup, which was sticky and very uncomfortable.He rubbed his eyes and pushed hard on the bedding on his body, but he didn't push it.After taking a closer look, he found that he was covered with three layers of thick quilts, and he was sore and weak, so he pouted helplessly. He gave up struggling and began to look for someone who could help.But there was no one else in the room except for a maid who was sleeping soundly on the table.The bright red of the setting sun was already glowing outside the window, but his mind was much more awake than in the morning.It seemed that it had been a long time since he had slept for such a long time, a satisfied smile slightly curled up at the corner of his mouth, he slowly closed his eyes, waiting for someone to come.But after waiting for a long time, no one came, and he was very thirsty, so he had no choice but reached out and knocked on the edge of the bed a few times, but the maid was in a deep sleep, no matter how hard he knocked, she would not wake up ...

He tried his best to get some saliva from his mouth to moisten his dry throat, but it was only a drop in the bucket, instead, his entire throat was painful like a fire.He frowned depressedly, looked at the maid, and managed to make a single sound, but it was not as loud as his knocking on the bed board.He looked around, and found that the black cat that had been sticking to him was gone, cursed inwardly to no avail, closed his eyes angrily, and planned to continue sleeping.However, how could his swollen throat let go of his fragile nerves?After squinting for a while, he was awakened by the pain again.Sighing helplessly, he was thinking about getting out of bed to get a glass of water, but he couldn't even handle the quilt on his body, so why get out of bed?

The black cat came in through the crack of the door without making a sound, with a shoe in its mouth...Yu Xun caught a glimpse of it, smiled bitterly, and considered how to let it help wake up the maid.The black cat raised its head and stared at him for a while with its round green eyes, Yu Xun took the opportunity to point to the maid.The black cat put down its shoes, jumped onto the table, and roared at the maid.The maid was so frightened that she fell to the ground, stared dazedly at the black cat who was still baring her teeth, and coaxed her twice in disgust.The black cat was not afraid of her, but barked even more fiercely.

Just as the maid was about to teach the black cat a lesson, she heard a faint knocking sound. She followed the sound and saw that Yu Xun had woken up. She quickly put on a smiling face and walked over.

"Does your Highness need anything?"

Yu Xun really wanted to roll his eyes at her, but he didn't have the energy to take care of her now, so he raised his limp hand and pointed to the teacup on the table.The maid was pretty smart, so she understood immediately, poured a glass of water, and held her head to feed him.

As soon as Yu Xun's chapped lips touched the water, he frowned.But he was really thirsty, even if it was water as cold as ice and snow, he swallowed it in big gulps.A chill poured down his throat, causing him to shiver for a while, the sweat pores all over his body were clamoring for their unhappiness, the pain like a needle prick made his brows twist into a hill...

The maid looked at him in panic, and suddenly realized that the water was not hot enough, so she apologized and asked if she needed to boil some hot water.Yu Xun nodded, she got up, and quickly pushed the door out with the teapot in hand.

The moment the door was opened, a white-clothed scholar standing at the door appeared. His icy face and indifferent eyes made people awe-inspiring.Seeing that it was him, the maid hurriedly saluted.Xie Ximing waved his hand, no longer hesitated, and stepped into the room.

Yu Xun didn't expect him to come, and felt a little embarrassed, so he struggled to get up, but in vain.He smiled awkwardly, but saw that Xie Ximing was still cold and repulsive.I can't help but feel sad, but helpless.

Xun Shuiyin told Jiang Tianyi that he was not dead that day, and he was the first to tell Xie Ximing when he came back, but this person just smiled indifferently and didn't respond at all, as if Jiang Tianyi never existed at all.No matter how others tried to persuade him, how he told him about Jiang Tianyi's relationship with him, he always had a lukewarm attitude, neither admitting that he knew Jiang Tianyi nor saying that he didn't know him.Yu Xun guessed that when he got the news of Jiang Tianyi's death, he was hit too hard. It would take a while for him to recover, so he didn't persuade him any more.It's just that between me and him, I no longer have the same heart-to-heart relationship as before. I have become a veritable monarch and minister, or the kind of relationship between monarch and minister that was barely established.

Xie Ximing pulled a stool, sat by the bed, looked at the shoes thrown aside by the black cat, and said with a blank expression: "Everyone else went to Xunyin Temple to find Chitose Yiwang, leaving me as a housekeeper, plus take care of you."

Yu Xun smiled to express his gratitude.

Xie Ximing continued: "I don't want to bother with you, but your cat got my shoe, so I have to come."

The gloom in Yu Xun's eyes became a little heavier, he bit his lip, endured the bursts of pain in his throat, and thanked him.

Xie Ximing chuckled, "You are my master, whether I am your subject or your servant, it is my duty to take care of you, why should I thank you?"

Yu Xun lowered his eyes and suppressed the bitterness, but he didn't want to listen to him anymore.

"Hmph, even if I died for you one day, it was just to repay your kindness for helping you out of trouble that day. Who told me to owe you Xie Ximing!" Listening to the complaints, Xie Ximing said it easily, but he really slapped Yu Xun.

At the beginning, Yu Xun just happened to pass by and saved him and his younger brother. Although it solved their Xie family's difficulties, it was not a life-saving grace. Against this man's temperament, he insisted on making him an official , to help myself show my ambitions, the man agreed.But now, he has worked hard and paid a lot for himself, how much right does he have to let him repay himself with his life?

"If one day, like Bei Yaofei, I was plotted against by my enemies, would His Royal Highness go to great lengths to save me? Or would I let my corpse be exposed in the wilderness, and I couldn't even find a whole corpse? Haha, if I die , There won’t be any traces left in the history, right? But it doesn’t matter, after all, I don’t care much about these fame and fortune, but I just can’t figure it out, why I insisted on agreeing to your request.”

Yu Xun opened his eyes suddenly, looked at the person in front of him fiercely, and said after a while, "As soon as this matter is over, you can resign and leave, and I will not stop you. Cough cough cough..." Then, The overwhelmed throat came out for a while, he supported the edge of the bed, and coughed violently, his whole body seemed to burst in the next moment, blood trickled down the corner of his mouth, it took him a long time to stop coughing slowly , fell directly back on the bed, and didn't even have the strength to straighten his body...

Xie Ximing looked at him coldly, without any intention of helping, "If I resign from office, will your enemies let me go? Will King Yi let me go? You said it lightly, you let me How to go?!"

Yu Xun closed his eyes slightly, covering the tears gushing out of his eyes due to a violent cough, and murmured: "Ming, do you hate me?"

"What do you think?" Xie Ximing snorted coldly, and said angrily: "You can disregard the life and death of those passionate sons who are born and died for you for Bei Yaofei, so who can work hard for them? Haha, that's right, That Bei Yaofei is the lover you identified, he is different from others. Hey, how ridiculous, His Royal Highness, the crown prince of Dahong Kingdom, who is under one person and above ten thousand, does not like women but likes men! Animals know that they have to find a mother for breeding. Yes, it’s good for you, you are not afraid that the world will laugh your teeth out, and choose whichever statement is amusing, why did I follow a master like you, I was really blind back then!”

Yu Xun was so angry that his body trembled, and a mouthful of blood gushed up.He never expected that such words would come from Xie Ximing's mouth.He stabilized his overwhelmed mood, and gradually, he was no longer angry or sad, but instead showed a trace of tenderness and pity in his eyes, "You are blaming me for not sending someone to save Xiaotian, are you?"

Xie Ximing's suppressed anger suddenly ignited, he stood up abruptly, stared fiercely at the person on the sick bed, gritted his teeth and said, "Don't mention him to me! I don't know that man named Jiang Tianyi!"

"How long are you going to deceive yourself?" Yu Xun smiled helplessly, "I repeat, Jiang Tianyi is not dead! He is still alive!"

With a crisp "snap", Xie Ximing raised his hand and slapped Yu Xun, "That's enough, I'll tell you again, don't mention him to me! Don't think you are the prince so I dare not touch you, anyway, this I have to throw my life out for you sooner or later, and I don't care about "making trouble". Hong Yuxun, let's make it clear today! I, Xie Ximing, have done so many things for you. By today, should this kindness be forgotten? I've had enough of this nightmare! Hong Yuxun, I don't owe you any more!"

"Yes, that's enough. If you want to leave, this king will never stop you. I will send someone to arrange for you in the future. I won't let the enemies find you. As long as..." Yu Xun raised his eyes and looked at him , still smiling gently, as if looking at an old friend who was drunk, without any pretense, "As long as you are willing to leave without waiting for Xiaotian."

"How many times do you want me to tell you, you are not allowed to mention him!!!" Xie Ximing went crazy, he felt that his head was about to split, and waves of annoying pain hit his nerves that were about to break, making him completely Can't calm down.He raised his slap and slapped it mercilessly...

Yu Xun closed his eyes, letting himself be beaten and scolded.He, who has already been mentally exhausted, does not want to see Xie Ximing like this, but a modest gentleman who was originally pure-hearted, indifferent and refined, was forced into such a state by himself, how could he not be anxious?How can you not be heartbroken?The most is the ruthless emperor's family. As the master of these people, he should be ruthless, but why he hesitates again and again, and even changes the plan for an uncertain relationship, trapping his subordinates in injustice. I can't help asking, if I am worthy of being a generation of emperors like this?And when will the emperor's road that I want to walk end...
