Lone Grass Gap

"May your father live longer than Nanshan!"

"Haha, I thank Lord Li on behalf of my father!"

Beside the grand and majestic gate, Li Ji greeted the visitors with a smiling face.It's just that when the smile moved to the next person, it disappeared and was replaced by a meaningful smile.

"It's really an honor for the family to have King Yue come..." Li Ji said gently with his hands behind his back.

Because it was the old man's birthday, Yue Qing's face was not as cold as usual, although he was still alienated, it was much softer than usual.

"King Qing is an elder, so Yue should come to congratulate him." Yue Qing replied, the eyes of the two intertwined in the air for a while, and then moved aside in unison.

Fan Hua, who was walking behind Yue Qing, took a step forward and bowed to Li Ji, who accepted it with a smile.

Just when the two were about to enter the door, Li Ji suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked ahead in disbelief.Almost at the same time, a familiar voice sounded: "King Ji."

Yue Qing frowned, turned around and looked at the person coming.Fan Hua paused for a moment, the thought of leaving here occupied his head almost instantly.

He has heard that voice many times, from babbling to the deep voice after the voice change period, he has been listening to it.

The real prince, Sheng Yekun.

She didn't expect to see Sheng Yekun again, let alone meet in such a situation.Ziyang City is at least a week's journey away from the capital, so how could someone who has been staying in the imperial city suddenly appear here?

When Fanhua was full of thoughts, Yue Qing beside him broke the silence first, and saluted Sheng Yekun: "See Your Highness the Prince."

Sheng Yekun smiled slightly, and stretched out his hand to help him: "You don't need to be polite, King Yue, today is King Qing's birthday, although I came to congratulate you on the order of my father, but I am still a junior, so I still let King Qing be today's birthday." The main character."

Li Ji's face was full of smiles, being able to have a relationship with the royal family, for a royal family with a different surname like him, it was also a bright face.

What's more, today is not only his father's birthday, he has planned a big drama for a long time, with His Royal Highness watching it, he believes that the protagonist of that drama will never forget today...

At that moment, he buried his smile, respectfully moved out of the way, and personally ushered people in.

When Sheng Yekun was about to reach the door, Yue Qing secretly reached out and pulled Fan Hua who was still standing stupidly to his side.Fortunately, Sheng Yekun was concentrating on the conversation with Li Ji and didn't see his face.

"Why didn't I see King Ming today? I've heard that you two are good brothers who love brothers and sisters."

Li Ji was afraid that Sheng Yekun would misunderstand, so he responded immediately: "He has official business and really can't spare time, but he gave my father a congratulatory gift early."

"So, Duke Ming treats you very well."

Li Jilang smiled and said, "Of course."

The two were walking while talking, Yue Qing held Fan Hua's hand outside the door, staring at the man who was lowering his head.

"Yue Qing," Fan Hua raised his head, "Do you know he's coming today?"

Yue Qing shook his head.

"If you say that if I leave now, will people gossip?"

Yue Qing frowned: "Do you still care about the past?"

Fan Hua sighed: "It's not about whether I care or not, I just don't want to have anything to do with the people in that city..."

After thinking about it for a while, he still decided that it was best to go.

Yue Qing also agreed, at most he could make up an excuse to fool him.

Suddenly a man who looked like a domestic servant walked up to Li Ji and whispered a few words in his ear, Li Ji's expression suddenly became embarrassing.

Sheng Yekun looked at his face that changed color instantly, and asked, "What happened?"

Other people in the hall also cast their eyes on Li Ji, who lowered his head and sighed, and said, "Father's illness has relapsed again."

Sheng Yekun frowned, and continued: "This is a big deal, come here, call my imperial physician in!"

Li Ji hurriedly waved his hands and said: "Your Highness, absolutely not, how can you use your personal physician casually, I know the character of the father, I believe he does not want to cause trouble for the emperor, how about it," he said. Turning around, looking at Fan Hua who was standing with his back to him, he said, "Doctor Fan, can you please give my father a medical examination?"

There was an uproar in the hall, and people looked at each other in blank dismay. This Li Ji refused His Royal Highness's personal physician, but wanted that unknown boy to see him?

Sheng Yekun raised his eyebrows, but didn't insist on it, but looked at the thin figure with interest.

Yue Qing grasped Fan Hua's hand tightly, and the words of refusal came to his throat almost instantly.It's just that he didn't say it in the end, because the people around him turned around before he said it.

Seeing Fan Hua's front face, Sheng Yekun's pupils almost dilated suddenly, but they retracted before others found out, but the emotion of surprise and disbelief was still rising and falling in his eyes.

At the moment when he was shocked, Fan Hua had already walked in front of everyone, and said humbly: "King Ji Mingjian, I am just an ordinary doctor in Yuewang's residence, I am afraid that I can't cure King Qing's illness."

"Could it be that King Yue is unwilling to help me?" Li Ji followed closely and replied, "Since Doctor Fan can save a dying pregnant woman, why can't my father be cured of a mere ailment?"

Fan Hua's eyes froze, how could he know about Nie Qian?

Li Ji's gaze towards Fan Hua seemed to be very useful, and a smug smile appeared on his face, "What does King Yue think?"

As early as when Li Ji called Fan Hua's name, he wanted to blow away the man with a smug smile in front of him with a hammer, but a cool hand kept grabbing his hand behind his back, not letting him go. He moves.

Yue Qing did not respond for a long time, Fan Hua could only sigh, and replied loudly: "So, then I will try one or two..."

"Doctor Fan, this is not a child's play to try..." Li Ji said unhurriedly, his eyes swept back and forth on Fan Hua several times, "It's a matter of doing our best!"

Fan Hua pursed his lips, then nodded, and asked, "Lead the way."

Li Ji secretly smiled, and when he was about to continue speaking, Yue Qing spoke first: "I'm with you."

He didn't bring any manpower to the banquet this time, at most there was only the Nirvana team, and he had to guard against it.

Li Ji was overjoyed when he heard this, and secretly thought, Yue Qing, Yue Qing, if there is a way to heaven, you don’t want to go, but if there is no way to hell, you just want to break in. Since you are willing to break in by yourself, why don’t I treat you well? Sorry not to go?

Immediately, he apologized to the visitors in the hall, and then personally led the way for the two of Yue Qing, this action also made the visitors in the hall praise.

"King Ji is really a dutiful son, he is willing to bow himself down to lead the way for his servants for his father's sake."

"Yeah, yeah, earlier I heard that King Qing couldn't sleep at night. He stayed in the cold northern region for several days and nights in order to obtain Yingxiang Wan, which is rare in the imperial city. His hands and feet were so cold. I only got the magic medicine when I was swollen, and when I came back, I didn’t even bother to take a rest, so I sent the pill directly to King Qing’s room, and King Qing returned to sleep..."

Fan Hua listened to their words with cold eyes. As those voices got farther and farther away, he looked at Li Ji's back with more and more contempt.

This road passed through a small garden, and detoured several times in the corridor. Li Ji, who was walking in front, just stopped, turned around and motioned to Fan Hua and the two, and then opened the door and walked in.

But when he was about to walk into the room, Li Ji stopped and gave his attendants a wink. Those servants who followed them all understood, and one of them stopped Yue Qing.

"Yue Wang, father is ill, you should not go in." Li Ji said shyly.

Yue Qing glanced at Fan Hua, and after seeing the other party nodded, he didn't say anything more, and retreated to the living room, while Fan Hua followed the maid into the bedroom.

After having people serve good tea and settle Yue Qing down, Li Ji went to the front hall to entertain the guests.

For some reason, as soon as he stepped into the room, a burst of cold air rushed towards him, which directly made Fanhua shudder and made him suspicious.On the way here, Li Ji told him that his father's illness was caused by being chased by the enemy when he was leading the army and fell into the valley unfortunately. The root cause of the disease was that he was invaded by the cold air in the valley. He would cough every time it was cloudy and humid. more than.But now King Qing's bedroom is located in such a dark place, could it be that Li Ji did it on purpose?

When this idea appeared in Fan Hua's mind, a chill ran down his spine for no reason.

A violent cough came from the bedside, waking up Fan Hua who was standing there.At that moment, he straightened out his thoughts and walked towards the inner room.

A man covered with a thick quilt was lying on the bed, bowing and coughing from time to time, and those serving him looked at him with complicated expressions.

If something happens to the old prince, they don't even want to live.

Seeing Fan Hua come in, the people around gave way one after another, a middle-aged man who looked like a butler came up to meet him, and asked with a full face of wariness: "Are you the doctor invited by the young master?"

Van Hua nodded.

"Are you sure you can heal the prince?"

"Then someone was able to cure King Qing's old disease before?" Fan Hua asked rhetorically.

The man's veins bulged, "You..."

"Ah Qing, don't be rude!" The person on the bed spoke, and with the support of his attendants, he sat up and coughed several times during the process.

Fan Hua narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at him, then shifted his gaze to the bottomed medicine bowl in the middle-aged man's hand, bit his teeth on his lower lip for an instant, and then sighed indistinctly.

"Cough, cough cough... you all, go down..." King Qing said.

"Master!" The middle-aged man shouted.

King Qing waved his hand to signal them to go out.

The butler had no choice but to retreat out with his entourage. When he passed by Fan Hua, he lowered his voice and warned: "My lord has something to do, you are the first to die!"

Fan Hua was noncommittal.

The sound of footsteps went further and further away, leaving only peace in the room.

King Qing waved to him, then pointed to the chair beside the bed, and Fan Hua immediately walked over knowingly.But when he sat down, Fan Hua stopped because of the other party's words.

"Are you sent by Ji'er to take my life?"

Fan Hua stared at the other party steadfastly, but unexpectedly found that he didn't see the slightest sense of urgency on his face, the rest was serene, and he had known such calmness.

Fan Hua smiled and replied: "How could it be? Others say that King Ji respects you the most."

King Qing's Xianghe face suddenly became bitter, and he wanted to speak, but he coughed several times first, and Fan Hua quickly stretched out his hand behind his back to comfort him.

King Qing waved his hand, and continued: "You don't have to hide it from me anymore, how can I not know about my own situation?"

Fan Hua shrugged indifferently, and replied: "Yes, you do know your situation, but you don't know my situation."

King Qing frowned, "What did you say?"

Fan Hua sat down, and after preparing for a long speech, he said leisurely:

"Once upon a time, there was such a father who had two sons, one was born to his first wife, and the other was the second son born to his fifth aunt. Of course, the legitimate son was loved by the father, and the second son not only wanted Being oppressed by other brothers and sisters, and often scolded by my father..."

Following Fan Hua's words, the expression on King Qing's face became more and more ugly, and even coughing stopped because he was too focused.

"The father refused to believe until his death that his beloved son would end up taking his own life, and the youngest son was the one who really cared about him."

While talking, Fan Hua took out a box from his sleeve.

Looking at the extremely familiar box, countless thoughts seemed to explode in his mind, King Qing only felt uncomfortable.

That small box was a gift he gave to Ji'er on his birthday ten years ago. It contained the hanging beads that he entrusted many people to find for a long time in a remote small village near the sea. Ji Er accidentally said "I like things that shine".

It's just that when he handed it to Ji'er, his gaze inadvertently caught sight of the second son who was kneeling in front of him, looking longingly at the small box in Ji'er's hand.

He said something to himself in a low voice, but he didn't hear clearly, but Ji'er beside him heard it. After Ji'er took out the hanging beads in the box, he threw the small box in the box viciously. Putting it on the second son, he scolded: "Useless things, you still want my gift, and you don't even look at who you are!"

The person lying on the ground picked up the small box excitedly, as if he wasn't the one who was smashed just now.

It's a pity that at that time King Qing himself thought that the second son was narrow-minded and difficult to achieve, but he actually cherished that incomparably ordinary little box so much.

But he forgot that although the two sons are two years apart, they were born on the same day, and the birthday of Ji'er was also the birthday of the younger son...

Looking at the person immersed in his own memories, Fan Hua said: "It's a pity, the youngest son's wishes may not be accepted by his father..."

King Qing was stunned for a moment, and finally became confused: "What do you mean, who are you? How did you know his identity?"

That "he" is naturally his youngest son.

Fan Hua smiled lightly, did not answer, just looked at King Qing fixedly, and began to count: "One, two..."

King Qing looked at him unknowingly, and when Fanhua Fanhua counted to ten, a chill suddenly surged from the bottom of his heart.He opened his eyes wide and looked at Fan Hua in disbelief. Just as he was about to speak, a mouthful of blood spewed out of his mouth!

At the same time, there was a burst of light and shadow by the window, looking at the plain window, Fan Hua lowered his head and sighed.

it all started...
