General's Good Friday

he.

Shi Zhong paused, followed his gaze forward, and saw that under the dead tree on the rockery in front of him, surrounded by several beautiful maids dressed in gold and silver, with gorgeous flowers and branches, those who served tea served tea, and those who brewed medicine , isn't the one lying on the stone couch in the center the prince?

Shi Zhong raised his head and looked at the person lying on his side with his eyes closed, his face was pale and emaciated, and he had lost all the radiant spirit he had that day, he really looked like a poor man with a serious illness.

Seemingly hearing Zhao Feng's "Ouch", the maids all turned their heads to look this way.

"Who is it?" The prince frowned slightly and asked in a low voice.

A maid covered her mouth with a smile and said, "Brother Afeng is leading the seat... Oh, it looks like a scary adult."

The prince was startled, opened his eyes and looked this way, and happened to be looking at each other with Shi Zhong.

"My lord," Zhao Feng saw that the lord had discovered him, and hurried over with a smile on his face, "The imperial doctor said to rest, why did you come to the garden? It's not good to be blown by the wind... Hehe, Mr. Shi heard that The prince is not feeling well, so he came here specially to see you, although you are not seeing any guests, but I took my own initiative and brought Mr. Shi in for a cup of tea and talking, didn't this happen just in time..."

"Are you coming to see me?" The prince looked straight into Shi Zhong's eyes, with a faint smile on his lips.

Shi Zhong: "..."

Zhao Feng: "...?"

The lord sat up from the couch, although his face was sickly, there was a little spring in his brows and eyes, he looked at Shi Zhong without saying a word, making the people around him look puzzled, so he waved his hands.

"You all stay away for the time being, this king and Mr. Shi...have important matters to discuss."

"Yes."

After everyone had gone away, the prince smiled at him, his eyes rolled around: "Hey, you are worried about me... aren't you?"

Shi Zhong looked at his pale lips and thin cheeks, and said in a low voice, "It's so cold outside, why don't you stay indoors, what are you doing?"

The prince looked up at him, pursed his lips and laughed straight: "I've been bored in the house for so long, and I feel like I'm about to grow mushrooms! It's rare that the sun is just right today, so I went out to bask in the sun."

Shi Zhong sighed slightly, lowered his eyes, not knowing what to say.

Wang Ye tilted his head and looked at him, suddenly smiled and said: "Come here."

Shi Zhong stood there without moving.

"What's the matter?" the prince said, "I'm not consumptive, I won't surpass others, what are you afraid of?"

"..."

Shi Zhong walked up to him.

"Subordinates...subordinates are not worried about this..."

The prince smiled slightly, took his hand in his hand and stroked it gently, then took it up and put it on his face, and raised his head: "Then what are you worried about?"

"..."

The prince lowered his head, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and kissed the back of his hand preciously.

"That day... I watched you from a distance outside the palace gate for a whole night, and you said, what is there to like about a person like you who is incomprehensible and hard-hearted? But... Then I fell ill, Lying alone in the room, I kept thinking, what should I do if I just die like this..."

"Your good fortune, you will live a long life."

"Pfft..." The prince couldn't help laughing and trembling all over, "At this time, you can say something nice."

"Subordinate... tell the truth."

Shi Zhong slowly turned his palm over, and took advantage of the situation to support the prince's chin, and gently rubbed his thumb against his slightly hot cheek.

"You...you still have a lot of time, why worry about it..."

The prince closed his eyes slightly, and said with a light smile: "Later, I decided, if I really die like this, before I die, I must ask the emperor for a favor, let him make an order to marry you I am a husband and wife, and when I die, I will let you live here, dressed in sackcloth and filial piety, as a widow, and will be my widow for the rest of my life..."

Shi Zhong's fingers stiffened, his lips moved, but he didn't speak.

The prince opened his eyes: "Are you willing?"

"Subordinate..." Shi Zhong paused, and then said in a low voice, "Subordinate... dare not disobey the holy will."

"Look at you, when it's time to talk sweetly, you still want to be annoying like this. Alas, how can you complain that people don't like you..."

Both sides of the prince's mouth were raised high, his eyes seemed to be shining brightly, his cheeks were flushed, just after he finished speaking, he seemed to be struggling, and took a few short breaths.

Shi Zhong frowned, stretched out his hand to touch his forehead, and was startled by the hot temperature.

"you!"

He couldn't help but stretch out his arms to lift the prince up from the couch.

"Where is your bedroom? This subordinate will take you back to your room and call the imperial physician!"

The prince's lips were pale, his face was flushed, he raised his head to look at him and smiled, then lowered his voice again: "Then do you want to know... If I don't die, what do I want to do?"

120 one

The maids of the palace were startled when they saw the prince being carried into the house by Shi Zhong like a gust of wind. It wasn't until Shi Zhong gave an impatient roar that they came back to their senses, and hurriedly went to boil water to tell someone to pass on the imperial doctor. Looking back, he saw Shi Zhong had a fierce face, he didn't dare to go forward to serve him for a moment, he just stood aside, watching Shi Zhong slowly put the prince on the bed, took off his boots and coat, unfolded the quilt and covered him, wrapped the prince tightly Seriously.

The prince was a little dizzy, and obediently buried in the quilt by him, he half-closed his eyes and smiled, "It's so hot..."

Shi Zhong ignored him, stood up and wanted to go out to see if the imperial doctor had arrived, but was held back by the prince.

"Don't go..." Wang Ye held his hand and whispered, "Don't go."

Shi Zhong paused, then turned around and said, "This subordinate... just went to see the imperial physician..."

The prince opened his eyes and looked at him mistyly.

Shi Zhong closed his mouth, lowered his head silently, and sat down on the footboard of the bed in this hand-in-hand posture. After a pause, he stretched out his other hand and pulled the quilt to cover Wang Yelu The wrist on the outside.

The maids on the side all lowered their eyes and kept silent.

Not long after, several imperial physicians rushed over with their suitcases in their hands. When they entered the room and saw the situation beside the bed, they were also taken aback.There is a person who usually walks around a lot outside and knows Shi Zhong. When he sees him, he just nods his head and smiles slightly at him, but still pretends that everything is normal, just pretending that he has not seen him appearing in the Wang Ye at this moment. At the head of the bed, he was still holding hands with the prince.

After seeing the doctor together, Shi Zhong said: "How is the prince?"

The old doctor in the lead sighed, and said with some complaints: "Thousands of reminders, I told the prince not to go out and catch a cold, why didn't he listen? The doctor cures the disease, and the patient must listen to it. This old illness has not healed, and it has added a new cold, isn't it a joke about my body of ten thousand gold!"

The prince listened in a daze, and said with a smile: "The sun is so good, it's so warm, I didn't know it would be like this..."

In a blink of an eye, seeing Shi Zhong staring at him with a serious face, he pursed his lips, smiled and remained silent.

Shi Zhong finished staring at him, turned back to the old doctor and said: "You always prescribe the prescription, how to cure this disease, how to take care of it, you just say, the prince will definitely not be so reckless in the future, and in front of His Majesty, he will never There will be your fault."

The old doctor was twirling a strand of beard and looking at his colleagues around him. An old man like him who has been an imperial doctor for decades has long since become a human being. Seeing Shi Zhong acting like a master and saying this in front of the prince If he said that, the prince had no opinion at all, so he showed a clear smile and bowed his hands towards Shi Zhong.

"Since my lord said so, the old man can rest assured. The most important thing is to dissipate the heat for the prince first, and let me discuss a prescription first..."

When the imperial physicians were done with their work, they all resigned, and the maids boiled the medicine and saw off the guests, and slowly dispersed, fearing that the prince might blow the wind again, they even closed the door behind them.

For a while there were only the two of them left in the room, the prince turned his face, looked at Shi Zhong, pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Master Shi, this king suddenly felt that it would be quite appropriate for you to be the king's housekeeper. of."

Shi Zhong straightened his back and said indifferently: "I dare not be a subordinate."

The prince smiled: "This kind of tone is really disgusting... It's really strange. Just now you hugged me in, obviously very anxious, as if you were afraid that the king would die, why can you put on such a ruthless expression now?" Related attitude?"

Shi Zhong lowered his eyes: "Subordinate..."

"What you said just now," the prince interrupted him, continued with a smile on his lips, "it's really strange..."

Shi Zhong: "..."

"You know, when I was young, every time my brother and I sneaked to other palaces to play together, and when we were caught, the queen mother always only punished him. Even when doing homework, he always did better than me. Much more. At that time, I always thought that it was because the emperor was the elder brother and he would be the emperor in the future, so the queen mother was very strict with him... But later, when I saw the third brother, he was young. But his concubine mother was equally strict with him. From then on, I gradually realized that the concubine mother never scolded me, it was just because I was not my own... Although she treated me very well, after all, it was separated by a distance. It’s not easy to discipline.”

"My lord..."

The prince blinked his slightly red eyes, and said with a smile: "I don't know why, just now I saw you talking to the imperial doctors like that, and I remembered this..."

Shi Zhong's palm slowly wrapped his hand, but he refused to say a word.

The prince looked at him for a long time, then suddenly squeezed his hand lightly, and whispered: "Why are your hands so rough..."

"This hand of this subordinate has practiced martial arts all the year round, so it has thick calluses and is naturally rough." Shi Zhong replied in a low voice.

The prince looked at him in a daze and refused to turn his head, nor did he want to reveal the truth.
