my lord is sick

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Emperor Zhaoyuan said that Xiao Chengzhou's body was almost maintained, and he could start to receive errands.Of course, the ones assigned to Xiao Chengzhou were not very important, they belonged to the kind that he could go home with just a click of a button.But despite being so free, Xiao Chengzhou had to attend the daily court, so when he returned to the palace every day, it was almost noon.

On this day, Xie Yan, who was already used to getting up early, got up early and ran to Xiao Chengzhou's to have breakfast with him.In Xie Yan's own words, in the future he will "get together less and leave more" with Xiao Chengzhou. The time to meet and stay together will be less, so he can't slack off, and he must seize every opportunity to meet Xiao Chengzhou to deepen their relationship.

Before Xiao Chengzhou felt sorry for Xie Yan getting up so early every day, and told him several times that he didn't have to come over to accompany him for breakfast, but seeing Xie Yan's actions remained the same, Xiao Chengzhou indulged himself to enjoy when his mood was surging.

After eating, Xie Yan and Xiao Chengzhou went out by car together, and left for a while, Xiao Chengzhou's car drove to the imperial city, and Xie Yan turned to find a friend to play.

When Xiao Chengzhou arrived in the imperial city, the gate of the palace had not yet opened, and a group of officials who arrived one after another gathered in the waiting courtyard, either chatting or having breakfast in silence.

It has been more than two months since Xiao Chengzhou returned to the capital, and this is the first time he has come to attend the court meeting.In the court, no one made friends with Xiao Chengzhou, even the Li family of Li Wenhua, who had a good relationship with Xiao Chengzhou, only saluted according to the rules when they saw Xiao Chengzhou.

In the crowd, Xiao Chengzhou saw Xie Feng standing with the three royal nobles, forming a small group of their own.Xiao Chengzhou recognized those people, they were the fathers of Xie Yan's three friends, they were idle lords and uncles who had received idle errands.

Those few people didn't see Xiao Chengzhou, so Xiao Chengzhou stood in a place by himself, lonely and out of place in the crowd of three or two around him.

Xiao Chengzhou stood for a while, then he heard someone shouting in his ear: "Prince Cheng, when did you arrive?"

Xiao Chengzhou turned his head and saw that Xie Feng brought people over without avoiding suspicion, so he said with a smile: "I just came, but Xie Hou came early."

Xie Feng said: "Hey, you have to behave better, so as not to be scolded by the screwdriver pointing your nose again, saying that we nobles are slack."

Xiao Chengzhou thought that after the Mid-Autumn Festival, when Xie Yan learned that he needed to go to court every day, he told him about Xie Feng. Once the wheel of Xie Feng's carriage broke down early, which delayed some time. When he arrived in the imperial city, all the officials The whole team was already waiting for the paging, and Xie Feng hurriedly joined the queue.There is a speech officer who has just joined the job and is mad at Xie Feng. Although there are court meetings every day, you can't be so slack!Say, do you despise the emperor or the imperial power?There is no awe at all!

Xie Feng was sprayed bloody that time, and he was almost sprayed, so Emperor Zhao Yuan, who had seen enough excitement, said something to stop him.Since then, every time Xie Feng went to court, he had to check whether the wheels of the carriage were firm or not before going out.

When Xiao Chengzhou went out just now, Xie Yan walked around the carriage with a worried face to help him check it.

After entering August, the weather gradually cools down.When the cool wind blew in the morning, Xiao Chengzhou smelled the crisp air, and couldn't help coughing twice.

Xie Feng immediately said: "What's wrong with the lord? Is your body feeling unwell again? You are the lord, so I have to say you, you young people, you can't take advantage of your youth and feel that you can handle it, so you don't feel good about your body." care."

Xie Feng babbled, summoned his servants, shook off his cloak, and put it on Xiao Chengzhou himself when Xiao Chengzhou covered his lips and coughed. use."

Xie Feng wanted to tie the belt for Xiao Chengzhou himself, but Xiao Chengzhou didn't dare to let him serve him, so he quickly refused, and tied it up by himself.

The three of Zheng Hou looked at Xie Feng with admiration on their faces, as if they were saying to Xie Feng, "I never knew you were so good at flattering".

The officials who saw this scene on the side also whispered, and even the officials who claimed to be honest and upright snorted in disdain, expressing their disdain for Xie Feng's courteous and flattering behavior.

Xie Feng was thick-skinned and didn't care about other people's opinions at all. He continued to ask Xiao Chengzhou about his health, saying that the weather is getting colder now, and the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, which is the season when you are most likely to get sick. Xie Yan later asked Xie Yan to copy the prescription of medicinal food to Xiao Chengzhou, so that Xiao Chengzhou should not be disgusted with it. If there is nothing to do, he can let the cook make it for him to eat.

Xiao Chengzhou thanked him again and again.

At this moment, King Hui, King Duan and King Yu all came, and when they saw Xiao Chengzhou chatting happily with those dude dudes, they felt very unhappy, especially Xie Feng was among them.Xie Feng inherited his father's mantle. When he was young, he was a fierce general. Later, although he put down his military power and became an idle marquis who didn't care about everything, he didn't just forget his ability. If he wins over such a person, he might not be able to do so at any time. There is a use.Moreover, if one Xie family was recruited, then it would be easy to win over the Zheng, Lu, and Wang families who had a good relationship with the Xie family.

This is also the reason why they actively wooed Xie's family before, but they didn't expect that they could not achieve their goal with all their efforts before, and they didn't know what method Xiao Chengzhou used to make Xie's family take the initiative to have a relationship.

Unlike Xiao Chengzhou, they each had their supporters in the court, and as soon as they came, many people around them went to greet them and salute them.

The three arrived late, but after a while, the palace gate opened, and everyone went to the palace.

At the court meeting, some officials talked about the corruption case in Yinzhou.

Because of this corruption case, the DPRK and China have dealt with a group of officials before, but everyone knows that this is just a batch of small shrimps, with a few small fish hidden in the middle, and behind the small fish there are real big fish.The corruption case has been investigated for so long, and some officials have been dealt with one after another. In the middle, because several key witnesses were poisoned, the progress of the investigation was slowed down, but even so, a lot of evidence gradually pointed to King Hui.

King Hui and his supporters, the entire court, kept defending themselves, and in the self-defense, they also wanted to drag others into the water, and those who were dragged into the water had to defend themselves again.Of course, Xiao Chengzhou had guessed before that the corruption case was a muddy water, and King Duan had been reaching out to stir it up, so that in the end, not only the people of King Hui, but also some of King Yu's people began to defend themselves.

You accuse him, he accuses you, but for the time being, they can't come up with any definite evidence, and the court has become a mess.In the end, Emperor Zhao Yuan got a headache from their quarrel, and temporarily stopped some of the errands in King Hui's hands. The errands of several people under King Yu were taken away again. King Duan was fine, but it didn't end well. Obviously, Emperor Zhao Yuan didn't trust him. The attitudes of King Hui and King Yu towards King Duan were not much better.

Because Xiao Chengzhou was only loyal to Emperor Zhaoyuan, he didn't say much throughout the whole process, and only said some unimportant details when asked by others.It was King Duan who spoke for King Hui for a while and defended King Yu for a while during the whole process.

After the court meeting was over, when he left the court hall, King Hui passed by Xiao Chengzhou, saw that Xiao Chengzhou was not in the eye, and said angrily in a low voice: "Third brother, you are so wise and protect yourself, how do you know that you will get it again in the future?"

Xiao Chengzhou smiled gently as always, "The younger brother is just loyal to the emperor, but the elder brother said that, doesn't it just show..."

"Shut up!" King Hui hurriedly stopped, looked around and no one heard him, he didn't dare to say anything to Xiao Chengzhou, gave him a hard look, and left with a flick of his sleeve.

Duan Wang walked over slowly, and asked Xiao Chengzhou with a smile: "What's the matter, brother, did you make him angry?"

Xiao Chengzhou said helplessly: "Brother blamed me for not speaking up for him when he was criticized by the officials just now."

Duan Wang laughed, and patted Xiao Chengzhou's shoulder, "Brother tends to vent his anger more, so don't argue with him."

"My brother understands." Xiao Chengzhou understood, but the gloating in his eyes still showed a little.

Duan Wang saw it and smiled again.

Xiao Chengzhou knew what he was laughing at, so he laughed along with him, and it was full of scenes of harmony and friendship between brothers.

The two walked for a while, and someone talked to King Duan, so Xiao Chengzhou went out of the palace alone, and met Xie Feng who was walking slowly on the road with his friends, Xie Feng invited Xiao Chengzhou to visit Xie's house again, Xiao Chengzhou said that he had time Definitely come to bother me.

The two sides separated at the palace gate, and when Xiao Chengzhou returned to the palace, Xie Yan was not there.Xiao Chengzhou thought for a while, the other party basically stayed with him for such a long time, and he didn't get together with his little friends very much, so he thought he was having a good time right now.

Xiao Chengzhou didn't look for him either, he went back to the study, opened a few secret letters from below, and after reading them, he raised his head and habitually looked at the beauty's couch next to him, seeing no familiar figure on it, his heart was also empty.In the past when he was reading, Xie Yan was always there to accompany him, but today he was very unaccustomed to not being accompanied by him, and his whole body was filled with the familiar coldness and loneliness.

Just as I was feeling lost, I suddenly heard that familiar voice sounding outside the door, from far to near, "Brother Zhou! Brother Zhou, I'm back!"

The study door was pushed open by Kong Qing and Chang Shan, Xie Yan ran in from the door, and didn't stop until Xiao Chengzhou was in front of him. He supported the desk with both hands, and looked at Xiao Chengzhou with bright eyes, "Brother Zhou, it's almost noon, let's What are you eating?"

The empty heart seemed to be filled the moment he saw Xie Yan.

Xiao Chengzhou asked him in a daze: "Why don't you have dinner with Zheng Peng and the others?"

Xie Yan said as a matter of course: "Because I want to have dinner with Brother Zhou, how important are you to them?" After he finished speaking, seeing that Xiao Chengzhou didn't respond, he hesitated, "Or, Brother Zhou, do you want to eat?" Eating with Zheng Peng and the others? If so, I can call them too." If this is the case, I just want to wrong Zheng Peng and the three of them. They can't eat well at the same table with Xiao Chengzhou, and they probably have indigestion again. up.

Seeing Xie Yan's reluctance, Xiao Chengzhou didn't seem to like Zheng Peng and the others coming over, and finally came back to his senses, and said with a smile: "No, I still like to eat with just the two of us."

Yes, yes, Xie Yan nodded and said that he was the same, if there were only two people, Xiao Chengzhou would not have to spare time to deal with others, so all the attention would be on his side, which would make it easier to deepen the brotherhood.

Seeing that Xie Yan was happy, Xiao Chengzhou was very happy: just like A Yan, he only wanted to stay with A Yan at any time, and he didn't want anyone to disturb him during the period.

Xiao Chengzhou came out from behind the desk, he took Xie Yan's hand on the desk, his thumb slowly rubbed the back of Xie Yan's hand nervously, he looked at Xie Yan, and said seriously: "A Yan, I understand your intentions, I I also cherish it very much, I just want to tell you that your heart is mine."

Xie Yan was obediently held hands, looked up at Xiao Chengzhou, Xiao Chengzhou's words circled in his mind for a few times, these words were simple, Xie Yan said that he could understand them as soon as he heard them!Didn't Xiao Chengzhou just tell him that he wanted to be best friends and brothers with Xiao Chengzhou, Xiao Chengzhou also thought so in his heart, and valued their friendship very much.

Xie Yan was so excited that tears almost filled his eyes. His hard work during this period was indeed not in vain, and it was rewarded!

Xie Yan shook Xiao Chengzhou's hand, "Brother Zhou, I understand!"

Xiao Chengzhou thought he really understood, pulled Xie Yan closer to him, and hugged Xie Yan into his arms.

Xie Yan lay in Xiao Chengzhou's arms, raised his brows suspiciously, then raised his arms to hug Xiao Chengzhou with a dazed expression, and the two brothers patted Xiao Chengzhou's shoulder and his back kindly.However, the hug between the brothers was unexpectedly long.

Just when Xie Yan wondered why Xiao Chengzhou didn't let him go, Xiao Chengzhou finally let him go.

Seeing that Xie Yan's face was flushed with embarrassment, Xiao Chengzhou couldn't help feeling better. He took Xie Yan's hand out of the study room, and said as he walked: "When I came back, the housekeeper said that the kitchen had sent a musk deer. We will eat musk deer at noon." Meat."

"Ok, Ok."

Xie Yan said, slapping his flushed face with his free hand.August is only cool in the morning and evening, and it is still very hot at noon. Just now, being hugged by Xiao Chengzhou for so long made him sweat all over, it was so hot to death.
