When Xu Jingshi arrived with Qin Jingyuan, hundreds of flowers were in full bloom in Qingyun Courtyard, like a spring day.He looked at the unusual scenery in the courtyard, and his heart skipped a beat.

Several guards anxiously paced back and forth in front of the study door. Seeing them coming, they quickly walked over to salute, "General, the young master seems to have passed out in the warm pavilion of the study, but none of the subordinates can open the door."

Xu Jingshi strode up the steps and pushed hard on the wooden door.The moment he touched it, he felt an oppressive chill, "Bring the sword, get out of the way!"

The next moment, he pulled out the long sword handed over by his subordinate, and split open two doors from the middle.Seeing the door open, Qin Jingyuan rushed in without hesitation.

Only a few orange-red lights were lit in the study room, neither bright nor dark, creating an ambiguous atmosphere.On the aisle leading to the Nuan Pavilion, all the gauze curtains were tied into the open windows, leaving only a screen to block the view.

On the screen, two slender figures were reflected, one was sitting sideways, the other was lying in each other's arms, very close to each other.

Seeing this, the accompanying guards guessed something, and carefully turned their heads to look at the expressions of the two masters, but what was surprising was that Xu Jingshi was still serious, and his brows even frowned even deeper.

Soon, the shadow inside moved.Xu Jingshi yelled: "Let go of me!" At the same time, he swung his long sword and split the screen.The "fragrant" scene on the bed was then revealed, but before everyone saw it clearly, a burst of cold air hit them, and ice cones rose from the ground and approached them.

Most of the people in the general's mansion were well-trained, and they quickly backed away.Xu Jingshi also turned around, protecting Qin Jingyuan next to him.

After the cold smoke dissipated, everything gradually returned to calm.Yan Chen gently put down the sleeping Xu Yang, and slowly pulled out a strand of white hair caught in the other's palm, and then reluctantly left, turned around to confront the swords that were flashing one after another a few feet away.

The hair on his forehead half covered his face, his eyes were calm, and he said calmly, "If you have nothing to do, please go out."

Xu Jingshi looked at the other party carefully, but did not give an order immediately.Seeing that Xu Yang didn't seem to be injured, he thought for a moment and asked tentatively: "Dare to ask your history, why did you come to my general's mansion?"

Qin Jingyuan quickly recovered from the fright, and it didn't take long to recognize that face that was as clear as jade.She opened her mouth unexpectedly, but ordered first: "You all go out, don't come in without my instructions."

"Ma'am?" Xu Jingshi couldn't believe it, but seeing the insistence of the people beside him, he nodded.

Not long after, all the guards in the study withdrew.Qin Jingyuan exhaled, and asked cautiously, "Can you speak now, Your Excellency?"

Yan Chen could see the growing fear in the other person's eyes, after all, in this world, almost nothing is more important than relatives.He smiled with some emotion, and then said seriously: "The emperor will not die."

Just five words contained a huge message, the two elders were both stunned, and before they recovered their strength to ask something, Yan Chen had already said goodbye and walked by.

The moment before he opened the window and left, he couldn't help looking back, with a touch of nostalgia and satisfaction.

The first snow finally fell, and it fell for a whole night, and the lights in Yujingxuan were brightly lit until dawn.

The door of the room, which had been opened and closed repeatedly for several hours, was opened again, and Imperial Physician Lu stumbled out of it, facing the crowd who hurried forward, and said: "Your Majesty is no longer in danger of life. Next, take good care of your body, and you will be able to recover soon." get well."

Xu Lingyi stayed up all night, she was a little tired from this meeting, but her dignity was still there.After getting the exact situation, she breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said: "Princess Lu has done a great job. After His Majesty's condition stabilizes, go and rest."

"Thank you Queen for your compassion."

Afterwards, Xu Lingyi was about to order someone to prepare some hot water, when Director Su came out and stopped her: "Empress Empress, please go back to the palace to rest first, and then your Majesty will leave it to the slaves to serve you."

Xu Lingyi frowned, and was about to say something more, when the other party replied: "Your Majesty has already woken up once."

Another meaning in the words is - this is Xia Mingyu's order.

Seeing this, Xu Lingyi paused for a moment before slowly nodding her head. "Take care of Your Majesty carefully." After giving the final instructions, she helped the lady-in-waiting to walk to the main hall.Concubine Zhong Gui, who followed one step away, showed a relieved expression, and said: "Sister, it's really hard work. I heard that something happened to the General's Mansion last night."

Xu Lingyi glanced at the other party, and silently walked towards Xu Jingshi who was waiting outside.After she called her confidants to find the prince last night, she also quietly called someone to inform the general's mansion.It was a fact that Xia Mingyu was in danger at that time, she was worried that someone would take advantage of the chaos in the palace, so she planned to let her soldiers enter the palace.

But when things turned around later, she hurriedly sent someone to stop her. Fortunately, Xu Jingshi was delayed because of other important matters, and only entered the palace alone in the middle of the night.

She also found out about the fire in the general's mansion later, but she didn't ask much, and now she had time to ask for details.After getting a general idea of ​​the situation, she remembered something and asked, "Why didn't Yang'er come?"

Xu Jingshi was speechless for a while, then turned his hands behind his back and said, "I haven't had much rest in the past few days, and fell ill immediately after walking in the water last night, so I didn't let him push himself into the palace."

Xu Lingyi was a little surprised, and sighed: "Yang'er has taken care of that child."

"...Yes." Xu Jingshi replied with a guilty conscience, and recalled in his mind what the doctor said after he took the pulse—Your son seemed to be at a loss all of a sudden.

He knit his brows together silently, and walked away from Yujingxuan slowly.

The red sun passed through most of the sky, and the palace gradually returned to its original order.The room where Xia Mingyu was housed was filled with incense, and the palace people were still trembling when they entered and left.

Manager Su personally brought the medicine from the kitchen, and was about to find a way for someone to take it, when Xia Mingyu suddenly opened his eyes, "Your Majesty! You are awake."

Two soft pillows were placed on Xia Mingyu's back. Although the wound was suspended, it still hurt badly.He moved his head slightly to lean against the bed, and said with pale lips, "Zhen, it's not as good as it used to be."

"It's because the banquet last night was too weird. Don't blame His Majesty, and there must be blessings after the catastrophe. The prosperity created by Your Majesty will only get better and better."

"It can be regarded as a ghost gate." Xia Mingyu sighed, caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye, and carefully raised his finger to point to the small couch by the window.

Director Su followed suit, and quickly withdrew his gaze from the blanket wrapped in blankets, "It's Miss An, who was tired all night and fell asleep regardless of where she was. .”

Xia Mingyu heaved a sigh of relief, and nodded imperceptibly, "Let her stay here, quietly. I look at Ningshen, and tell the maids who come in and out to walk more lightly." He slowly moved his gaze to the top of his head, There was something in the words, "I also feel noisy."

Director Su quietly speculated about the Sacred Heart, and saw that the other party had no intention of continuing to sleep, so he mentioned a few things: "Your Majesty, I sent someone to check the maikos last night, but I haven't found anything yet. The imperial concubine and empress They said they invited dancers from Huanhualou in the capital, and the servants got the names right, and found that those dancers had never been in the palace, which is strange."

Xia Mingyu's eyelids drooped slightly, and he whispered, "I remember a musician."

"It's Mr. Yu, and he saved His Majesty." Mr. Su touched the bowl and found that the medicinal soup was already warm, so he took a spoon and scooped it up, "But the slaves didn't have time to take care of him later, Yu Jingxuan People should arrange a place to rest."

Xia Mingyu barely moistened his dry tongue, and continued: "You who deserve the reward, look at the reward, find out the details and let him go." He recalled the appearance of his temperament, and always felt that there was something unpleasant, "Civilian Still shouldn't stay in the palace for a long time, let alone people with walking disabilities."

"The slaves obey the order."

After drinking all the medicinal soup, Xia Mingyu took a sip of white water to rinse off the bitter taste, and then remembered something and asked, "Is someone from the Xu family here?" Hearing this, Director Su paused for a moment as he put the bowl down, turned back calmly and said truthfully: " Come, only the general is allowed to enter the palace."

"Where's the Zhong family?"

"I also saw General Zhong."

After listening, Xia Mingyu squinted his eyes, and looked at the confidant in front of him who he rescued from the rioters and raised gradually.

The coercive gaze only stayed for a moment, and the cold sweat dripped from President Su's forehead.He knelt down with a plop, lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, someone from the Xu family invaded last night and burned the entire west courtyard. The entire family of the Zhong family vomited and diarrhea all night. This slave is worried that it will spoil your majesty's mood and affect his recovery. I lied to His Majesty."

"Go and investigate—why didn't you talk about such a big thing first." Xia Mingyu was a little caught off guard by the seriousness of the matter, he choked a few times and continued: "Additionally, officials have frequently fallen ill in the past few days. How can you recover from illness with peace of mind?"

"But Your Majesty, where should we start?"

Xia Mingyu closed his eyes and thought about it, and his thoughts went back to the very beginning of yesterday's birthday party, "The quack who said there were monsters."
