After the father of the subjugated country secretly read my heart, he became angry.

[Ouch, what should I do? Grandpa Dingguo is probably going to have an accident tonight. 】

Xiao Chuchu was anxious.

I'm not in the mood to try instant noodles either.

Over there, Duke Ding had already saluted and was about to leave the palace. "When the emperor is going to inspect the army at Xishan, just send someone to inform the old minister. The old minister will go home and wait. You can leave at any time."

[Hey,] Xiao Chuchu’s mouth dropped as soon as she heard this, her eyes were sad, [You may not be able to get up by then...]

Duke Dingguo looks tall and broad, with a very broad frame. Even though he is seventy years old, he does not have the bleak appearance of an ordinary old man.

But at this moment, Xiao Yunzhou couldn't help but feel pain in his heart when he heard his daughter's words.

The force that was once as high as 95 in his prime was dedicated to Jingguo throughout his life, but now it is about to drop below 60.

Still irreversible.

He couldn't let Duke Dingguo leave the palace just like that!

In the palace, at least there is an imperial physician!

[Stomach emergency, if handled properly, there is still hope~]

Xiao Chuchu also felt that it was best for Ding Guo Gong to say goodbye and go home.

[I remembered, it seems that the imperial doctor in the novel said that if the treatment was timely, Duke Ding would not be so seriously ill and die. However, Duke Ding could endure the pain so much that he endured the pain for two full days before calling the imperial physician. It was too late. . 】

Xiao Yunzhou took a deep breath.

"Dong Guo,——"

"You taught me riding and archery back then. Would you like to stay tonight and teach some of my princes tomorrow morning?"

Duke Dingguo was startled.

The infant Xiao Chuchu also looked at Xiao Yunzhou with big eyes, "Hmm, is it a coincidence?" 】

[I just came into contact with Grandpa Dingguo, and I remembered how he fell ill tonight. Did the emperor leave someone to stay? 】

Xiao Yunzhou stiffened.

If possible, he really wanted Little Princess to never know about it.

She can always be happy, carefree, and think freely in her heart.

But looking at the gray-haired Duke Dingguo, Xiao Yunzhou closed his eyes and had a choice between breathing.

Even if my daughter notices something unusual today and knows that her father may read her fairy-like inner voice, he must do this!

If he abandons the life and death of the heroes who once protected the country, and the birds are gone, the good bows are hidden, the cunning rabbits die, and the lackeys are cooked... Then when he, the emperor, dies, he will not have the shame to meet his ancestors and these heroes of the country!

"Wei Zheng, please arrange a residence for Duke Ding in the side hall of my Chonghua Palace." Xiao Yunzhou said.

Wei Zheng was shocked, and Xiao Chuchu, who was held by him, also blinked in surprise.

In the palace, it is not easy to keep ministers overnight.

Before, it was Liu Wenchang, the master of the Liu family, and now he is Duke Dingguo!

[Ah, is it really such a coincidence? The emperor's father will not hire an imperial doctor for Duke Ding as the next step, right? 】

Xiao Chuchu's small face was full of shock.

Xiao Yunzhou didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he could only continue to give instructions to Wei Zheng, "The Duke is old and you have to work hard with me today. Please go and ask the imperial doctor to come and diagnose the pulse of the old Duke."

【! 】

The infant Chu Chu's watery grape eyes widened.

Biting her pink lips,

[According to the plot, Duke Ding fell ill in winter and did not receive timely treatment. How come the emperor’s father found out this time? 】

[Oh my god, is it my problem or the emperor’s father’s problem? 】

Behind Xiao Yunzhou's back, his fists were clenched.

Standing next to her was Liu Concubine, who was about to speak. Now she heard her daughter's voice and looked at the emperor with a worried frown.

"Your Majesty, I won't stay overnight. I'm still in good health, and I don't need to go to the trouble of seeing an imperial doctor. Now I'm not as good as a riding and archery master in the palace, so I won't show off to the prince." Duke Ding waved his hand and refused.

Xiao Yunzhou had already made up his mind, "I know the way. The reason why I can have rice noodles that are ready to eat today is because I just remembered the story about the army and horses that Duke Dingguo told me back then."

Duke Dingguo was stunned, this was really the case.

The emperor's recollection of hardships and sweetness led to today's instant rice noodles.

"I will also grow old in the future," Xiao Yunzhou sighed, "I hope that the princes will always remember the difficult moments of the Duke and be prepared for danger in times of peace, so that the sergeants of Jingguo will continue to make progress."

Duke Dingguo was stunned, his old yellow eyes twinkling, as if he was meeting the emperor for the first time.

And Liu Bin, who was standing next to him and had been laughing at the emperor's pretentiousness earlier, also had the same expression.

In her heart, she had never really admired Xiao Yunzhou.

In fact, he has always been wary of Xiao Yunzhou.

The emperor was ruthless and suspicious, and could sacrifice too many people for his own benefit.

But Liu Bin did not expect that the emperor was willing to take the risk of his daughter discovering and reading his heart, and never hearing it again, in order to save Duke Dingguo, who was aging and could no longer go to the battlefield.

The emperor...maybe be kinder than she thought.

He might... really start to look like a wise king.

"Okay, let me stay here, don't worry about tomorrow! The emperor will call the prince tonight, and I will tell them stories all night!" Duke Dingguo was excited.

Xiao Chuchu hissed, [If the emperor's father also knew the plot, he would not allow him to stay up late. 】

Xiao Yunzhou didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he really could only follow his daughter's words and oppose Ding Guogong's stinky idea of ​​not caring about his body.

But just as he was about to speak, Liu Bin beat him to it.

"I wonder if the prince has finished his homework in the study? It seems that last time Cheng Qian didn't finish his homework until Chenshi, and he still had to recite some." Liu Bin came to the emperor's rescue for the first time.

When Xiao Yunzhou heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Yes, yes, that's right! Today's work is done today, and they still have their homework tonight."

Duke Dingguo frowned and could only give up.

"Your Majesty, I have not stood for such a long time, and I am a little tired." Concubine Liu frowned lightly.

Xiao Yunzhou was even more happy after hearing this, "That's just right, let's see the imperial doctor together!"

"I knew you must be tired. I, I... am also a little sore in the back."

Liu Bin suppressed a smile.

Duke Dingguo was startled, then turned to look at Xiao Yunzhou's face, looking up and down, especially his waist.

"I've told you before that your Majesty should not practice Taoism or meditate. How can this man's waist sit still all day long? If it doesn't work, what else can you do..."

Xiao Yunzhou: "..."

His face turned red and black, black and green!

[Hahaha, no, it turns out that my father is dying and needs to see a doctor. I’m embarrassed to say it. 】

Xiao Chuchu sighed in her heart for a moment.

The corners of Xiao Yunzhou's mouth twitched.

Duke Dingguo had good eyesight. He glanced at the emperor's face, which looked like he was suffering from constipation, and immediately understood, "Oh, I understand, I just ask the head of the hospital to take a look."

He turned his head and glanced at Concubine Liu, then pulled the emperor forward four or five steps.

He winked at Xiao Yunzhou mysteriously.

"Some diseases must be treated early."

"Don't be afraid of embarrassment. The emperor said that the old minister's waist is not good, just let the imperial doctor take a look."

"..." Xiao Yunzhou opened his mouth and then closed it. He firmly ignored the trash talk.

[Hey, your father Xiao Yunzhou has gained a devoted follower - Duke Dingguo! 】

Xiao Chuchu opened her mouth, "What the hell?" How is this done? 】

Xiao Yunzhou soon heard his daughter's exclamation, and he was also stunned.

Duke Dingguo kept holding his hand and patted his shoulder. At this moment, it seemed that they were not master and disciple, nor king and minister.

But brothers for many years.

"It's a small matter. When we go to the battlefield, there are many men who have injured their backs."

"Don't be afraid! They are all veterans who will accompany you to the doctor!"

Xiao Yunzhou coughed and choked until he was speechless.

When I looked at Wei Zheng again, I saw him staring at his shoes.

Xiao Chuchu in his arms had a face turned pink in shock.

[I see, that’s it, the emperor’s father doesn’t know the plot. 】

[He has a hidden illness, so he caught it~ Oops, I have used up the number of times to check the force value today, otherwise I can still check his old waist combat power...]

Xiao Yunzhou took in a breath and his face turned darker.

Fairy Little Princess was led astray by the old guy!

*

At tea time, the head of the Taiyuan Hospital rushed to the Chonghua Hall and saw the emperor's dark expression as soon as he arrived.

But soon after Ding Guogong took up his posture, winking his eyes generously, he asked the hospital chief to check his pulse.

The head of the hospital said directly with a serious expression.

"Dingguo Gong has a hidden illness and is about to get sick soon."

"If I were to call you a moment later, I'm afraid the medicine might not work."

Duke Dingguo: "???"

His eyes widened, what?

"Your Majesty, I will disclose the prescription to the country right now, decoct it and take it immediately! Then I will give you a stick of incense for acupuncture, three times in a row tonight!"
