Chapter 245: The Encounter between the Emperor and His Ministers
The ninth night!

Crown Prince Zhu Cilang took Qingxin Pills and his high fever subsided. After waking up, he called Xiao Lang in to talk to him alone.

Xiao Jingchuan followed the chief eunuch Wang Zhixin into the backyard and waited for orders in front of the main house.

creak!

When the door opens inwards again.

"General Xiao!"

"Please come in!"

"Your Highness is waiting for you!" Wang Zhixin spoke softly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Lang followed closely from behind and stepped forward!
He was careful with his steps and moved slowly and gently, until he got close to the bed and bowed gracefully.

"Your humble servant Xiao Jingchuan pays homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Xiao Lang spoke in a clear voice and continued to follow up and inquire.

"Your Highness, are you feeling better from your cough and high fever?"

"Cough cough."

"Good, better, all better!"

"Alas, this old illness of mine has been around for a long time, and it cannot be cured in one day!"

"However, after taking the Qingxin Pill you gave me, the fever has subsided a lot. It's really helpful!"

"Just a few days ago, Wang Zhixin was very careful and told me the truth!"

"You have been standing guard in the front hall these days, worrying about me. You must be exhausted!"

"As for this medicine, you tried it yourself. You are so dedicated to my affairs. I should thank you very much!"

Crown Prince Zhu Cilang was sick and weak. He was lying flat on the bed, wrapped very thickly.

However, seeing Xiao Lang enter the room, in order to save face, he asked Wang Zhixin to serve him and tucked more bedding and cushions under his back so that he could lie leaning sideways and half-raise his body to talk!
However, even with this small movement, he could no longer sustain his strength, his face looked sick and he looked increasingly listless.

Hearing this, Xiao Jingchuan was also quite frightened, so he raised his head slightly and glanced towards the prince.

"Ah! This"

"Your Highness, I am terrified!"

"Your Highness is ill, so as a subordinate, I should do this! It should be so!"

"As long as the prince's illness can be cured, I will not refuse even if it means death!" Xiao Jingchuan agreed in an official manner.

"Ha ha."

"Hahaha"

"Cough, cough, cough."

After hearing this, Zhu Cilang was about to laugh out loud, but as soon as he used a little force, his smile began to cause him to cough and wheeze!

Seeing this, Yu Zhixin, who was standing beside the prince, also hurriedly and skillfully brought out a spittoon from the side of the bed and led the prince to spit out the phlegm!
Then, he quickly served some tea for rinsing the mouth.

While a set of trivial regulations were being discussed, Xiao Lang knelt nearby, staring blankly but unable to help. He just looked anxious and watched in silence.

A few moments!

After completing the complicated process, Zhu Cilang took a long breath again and half-lay back in his original position.

"Cough, cough!"

"Hey General Xiao!"

"Yes, I was rude!" The prince rarely smiled bitterly and mocked himself.

Xiao Lang, who was nearby, heard this and was about to respond politely, but Zhu Cilang waved his hand weakly to stop him.

Then he continued talking.

"General Xiao, I've been with you all the way this time!"

"My body is really becoming more and more useless!"

"Sometimes, I see you young generals, training shirtless in the sun on the training ground! You are so brave and valiant!"

"I've been with you guys for a long time. I actually feel like I've gained a bit more energy out of nowhere!"

"Hehe, hehe."

"To be honest, I'm only fifteen or sixteen years old!"

"Look at you riding your horses and killing the enemy! I envy you. How could I not want to do the same?!"

"I wish my hands could be like yours, to draw a longbow, to subdue a fierce horse, to fight in battles, and to rebuild the old country!"

"Can"

"Can"

"Alas," Zhu Cilang spoke from the heart, expressing his helplessness and sighing.

When Xiao Lang saw and heard this, he couldn't help feeling sympathetic. He wanted to say something to comfort her, but when the words came to his lips, he felt that they were not quite there, so he had to swallow them back.

He wanted to say something but stopped himself. While he was struggling, Hou was nearby and could only listen in silence.

On the couch, Zhu Cilang suddenly turned his head and saw what Xiao Lang meant. He was helpless, so he grinned twice and continued speaking. "Xiao Jingchuan, you won the battle in Baoding Prefecture!"

"You, you know it!"

"Originally, I was concerned that you were planning to let the thief Li Zicheng go, and then stop the pursuit of the Jian Nu and Wu Sangui!"

"I have a grudge against you!"

"Intruder!"

"I will never reconcile with that fellow!"

"Every day, I wish I could eat his flesh and sleep on his skin!"

"But you!"

"You can fight, but you let this thief escape!"

"I am unwilling to accept this!"

"Of course, I'm not afraid to tell you openly!"

"If only I could be a little more motivated!"

"I will never follow your advice until now!"

"Hehehe"

"I can't help myself, I can't help myself!"

"This time I fell ill, it seems my condition is a little more serious than before!"

"Since I got sick, I have been through so many things and so many people. I seem to have let it go!"

"Before you went to war, I was secretly blocking myself in my heart!"

"As long as you can win! You can win this battle!"

"From now on, I will no longer interfere in military affairs. I will leave it all to you to handle!"

"No matter what your fighting method is?"

"Xiao Jingchuan, from today on, I, Zhu Cilang, will trust you completely!"

"I only believe in you!"

"."

"You and I are of one mind!"

"You won't let me down. I, Zhu Cilang, swear to heaven right now that I will never let you down in this life!"

The prince spoke these words in one breath. He was so emotional that his face turned a lot redder, as if he was holding back the emotion!
His remarks actually have a bit of the meaning of entrusting someone with help in times of crisis!

You know, at this moment, the prince is so seriously ill, and it seems that only Xiao Jingchuan is left in front of him who can stand alone, lead the team, and protect himself and return to Nanjing safely!
As for Xiao Lang, he had done a lot of investigations before and after. Although, in Zhu Cilang's heart, this guy was not a close confidant, but he had always handled things in an orderly manner. It was unknown whether he could be trusted!

Of course, how much true nature there is in this, only God knows!

When Xiao Lang heard this, tears welled up in his eyes. He knelt down and crawled forward two steps, looking excited and begging for help.

"Your Highness!"

"Your Highness!"

"How could I, General Xiao Jingchuan, deserve such trust from His Highness?"

"Your Highness!"

"I, Xiao Lang, can also swear to heaven that I will follow Your Highness for the rest of my life, and I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

"Your Highness! Your Highness!" Xiao Lang acted flattered, and his words were very sincere.

"Ha ha."

"Good! Good! Bravo! Bravo!"

"Get up, get up, get up quickly!"

"Wang Daban, hurry up! Help General Xiao to stand up!"

Zhu Cilang raised his arm with great effort, and then put on a good attitude as a monarch and his subject, and hurriedly asked Wang Zhixin to help!

"today!"

"Right in front of my sickbed!"

"You and I are so close to each other!"

"It feels so good! It feels so good!"

"Hahaha"

"Cough, cough, cough."

When he was speaking excitedly, Zhu Cilang became out of breath and started coughing up phlegm from his lungs again!
Seeing this, Wang Zhixin pulled Xiao Lang to straighten himself up, and then hurried to get the spittoon.

A series of complicated regulations continue!
