The protagonist chased the villain, and Tiandao screamed in anger

"Didn't you say that the heart was not injured? Why hasn't Your Majesty woken up yet?"

"Is it because your medical skills are not good enough?"

In front of the bed, three or two imperial doctors knelt below, bowed their heads to face Lou Jian's questioning, bent their backs and explained carefully: "This... Lord Lou, please calm down. His Majesty's injury is indeed not a threat to his body, but it is a serious injury after all, and he has lost blood..."

You Mu's consciousness was separated from Tian Dao, and he heard Lou Jian's anxious voice. His throat was dry and itchy, and he couldn't help but cough lightly.

The sound interrupted Lou Jian's questioning. He quickly turned around, squatted down beside the bed and looked after her.

"Brother, are you awake? Are you thirsty? Are you hungry? I've applied medicine to your wound, does it still hurt?"

You Mu opened his eyelids and saw Lou Jian's enlarged face in front of him. Completely different from the domineering attitude when he had previously held the imperial physician accountable, he spoke in a gentle and soft voice.

"……nothing."

Seeing that You Mu's voice was hoarse, Lou Jian leaned over to pour a cup of tea and helped You Mu to cross over carefully.

After drinking the water, the dryness in his throat was washed away and You Mu felt better. He waved away the several frightened imperial doctors in the room and only left Lou Jian.

"Brother, it's all my fault. I should have been more careful. That arrow..." That day, You Mu suddenly moved sideways, and then an arrow pierced the other's chest.

Lou Jian went from being bewildered to panic-stricken, and when she saw the bloodstains on the other person's clothes, she began to tremble uncontrollably.

He regretted that he was too lax in his guard and didn't even notice the arrow that was shot at him. He was also angry that he could do nothing but watch the other person get hurt.

Lou Jian held You Mu's hand tightly. If she held it tightly, she was afraid of hurting him, but if she loosened her grip, she would feel scared and her palms were shaking.

"I'm fine." Feeling a little weak, You Mu raised his fingertips and hooked Lou Jian's palm to comfort her.

In fact, the two of them could have avoided it and no one would have been hurt. But in order for You Mu to figure out the questions in his heart, he had to have such an opportunity to lose consciousness.

But this alone frightened Lou Jian greatly.

Lou Jian lowered her head, buried her head deep in You Mu's side, her tone was dull, when she was really scared, even tears were unnecessary: ​​"Brother... I'm scared..."

He was afraid that when everything was settled and they were finally able to live in peace, they would suddenly be hit by hardships again...

He was afraid that the other person would just lie on the bed and never wake up again...

Fear spread throughout his body, opening its bloody mouth like a giant deep-sea python to swallow him.

Why is it that their lives are always unsuccessful? Does God not see their hardships, and turn a deaf ear to all their sufferings and pains?

Seeing You Mu wake up, Lou Jian relaxed for a long time before her suppressed emotions began to break out. She relaxed, but occasionally her body would still twitch and tremble instinctively after being frightened.

You Mu reached out and stroked the other person's head, combing his slightly messy hair and soothing him patiently.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm here."

Outside the palace, the promoted Xiao Fuzi knocked on the door with the cooked medicine in his hand: "Lord Lou, the medicine for His Majesty..."

"Enter."

Lou Jian raised her upper body and ordered Xiao Fuzi to come in. She took a soft pillow to support her back, took the medicine bowl from the tray in the hands of the eunuch, and fed it to her little by little while it was cold.

"Jiang Ya caught the assassin that day. The villain was originally a shadow guard beside the late emperor, and he escaped. But he should have been in prison. I don't know why he appeared on the palace wall..." While feeding the medicine, Lou Jian explained the situation of the past two days.

"The prison guards were all convicted of negligence, and Jiang Ya was also punished for leading a group of guards patrolling the imperial city."

"Also, in the past two days, because my brother was in a coma, some court officials seemed to be quite impetuous. A lot of bad news came out of Kyoto..." Lou Jian listed those who took advantage of the situation and complained to the new emperor one by one.

"Some people think that my throne is not legitimate, and I am accused of patricide and fratricide, so they naturally criticize me. Also, I just ascended the throne, and the people in the court are not yet stable... Don't worry, they won't cause any trouble."

You Mu knew what Lou Jian meant, but he also knew that the path of a wise ruler was not suitable for him. Since his bad reputation was already deeply rooted, it would be difficult to reverse it no matter what he did. It would be better for him to remain an evil ruler to the end.

Sometimes, the power of a tyrant has its merits.

"Well, brother, whatever your plans are, just tell A Jian." The new emperor woke up, and Lou Jian felt relieved. He regained the high hopes that Master Lou had placed on him.

After drinking the last mouthful of medicine, You Mu had a piece of dried fruit stuffed into his mouth. The sweetness of the candied fruit instantly dissipated the bitterness and cleared his mind, allowing him to see through Lou Jian's deceptive intentions.

"Order? Did you forget what I said before? How much have you read of those books I found for you?" Fighting for him can be put aside for now. The knowledge that Lou Jian lacks needs to be supplemented urgently.

Speaking of studying, Lou Jian's face stiffened a bit. When he was young, he actually enjoyed studying because he could always stay by the side of the prince, smelling his scent, and even time seemed to be passing by too slowly.

But in the final analysis, studying is an extremely boring thing. It is really a headache for him to sit at the desk and read through the difficult ancient Chinese texts.

"…Well, I've been worried about my brother these past two days."

"I'm fine now, don't worry, go and read." The new emperor began to chase people away.

As he was speaking, the door of the hall was pushed open, and the girl who had not been seen for a long time raised her feet and looked around. After her eyes locked on the two people in front of the bed, her pupils immediately lit up and she ran towards them.

"Your Highness, I can't stop Shushu!" Outside the palace, Qingzan was jogging to catch up.

"Hey, Miss Qingzan, and that... His Majesty is resting! You can't just barge in..." Behind them was Xiao Fuzi who was hurrying to stop them.

"Daddy!"

As the two chased after each other, Shushu had already come to the bedside, ready to throw herself into You Mu's arms. Fortunately, Lou Jian was quick-witted and quickly grabbed Shushu's collar and lifted the child up, preventing the other party from pressing over like a little beast.

When the two people arrived later, Shushu had already pushed the door open. When she saw her father, it was no use asking her to go back.

You Mu waved away Xiao Fuzi and Qing Zan and kept Shu Shu.

The perspective was raised, and Shushu was still a little confused. She flapped her legs and shook them twice, then looked up and saw that it was her uncle who was causing trouble.

"Bad uncle! Bad uncle!" Shushu missed her father very much. She was finally brought back by those high-ranking people. When she was about to look for her father, she heard from the servants that her father was sick and could not see her.

She stayed in the big room for a very long time, with only Zanzan to keep her company. She was very bored!

She sneaked out of the palace, listened to the palace servants' idle chatter, and searched for a long time before she found the right place.

"Shushu, your father is injured. You can't hold him. The wound will hurt." Lou Jian held the child and pointed at the bandage wrapped around You Mu's chest.

"Hurted? It hurts? Daddy is in pain?" Looking in the direction where her uncle's finger was pointing, Shushu realized that her daddy was different from usual. His face looked more like winter snow.

She felt a little uncomfortable, but stopped struggling. She just nestled in her uncle's arms with her round eyes wide open, looking at You Mu eagerly.

"It's okay. Shushu is very sensible and won't crush you. Come, let daddy hold you." Being looked at like this by the child, You Mu naturally couldn't stop himself and just stretched out his hand to ask Lou Jian to give him the child.

"Hold me!" Seeing her father reaching out his hand, Shushu immediately stretched out her thin arms in response.

Seeing this big and small couple loving each other, Lou Jian seemed like the evil person who was getting in the way.

He sighed, relaxed, and pressed the little girl's forehead to remind her again and again: "Don't rub around like a little pig, understand? Your daddy is still injured."

"I know... Shushu knows." After more than a month of not seeing each other, Shushu's words became richer. She felt relieved, loosened her shoes and socks, leaned carefully in her father's arms, and couldn't help but grinning happily.

"Little girl." Lou Jian watched from the side and felt that this child was smarter than him. She was much more useful than him in pretending to be stupid and pitiful.

She couldn't help but reach out and pinch the child's pink cheeks. Seeing the other party unscrupulously twisting and sliding into You Mu's arms, Lou Jian felt a little envious.

Children grow fast and get hungry quickly. You Mu was worried that Shushu would be hungry, so he asked Xiao Fuzi to prepare some snacks and put a small table next to the bed for Shushu to eat.

In the past, You Mu was not used to having meals by the bed, but since he was with the child, he always had to accommodate him a little.

Seeing Shushu eating happily, he became happier too.

"Daddy, eat, it's sweet." Shushu not only ate herself, but also thought about her father and put the cakes to You Mu's mouth.

You Mu ate a small piece, looked up, and saw Lou Jian still lingering beside him.

Frowning, His Majesty asked, "Why don't you go to study? I have a test tonight."

Lou Jian thought he could fool her: "...I'll go right away."

The child in the new emperor's arms saw her uncle being humiliated and giggled.

Lou Jian turned her head to look over, unwilling to argue with the child.

Just laugh, he is old enough to go to private school now, how long can he stay in his brother's arms and laugh?

When she experienced the pain of studying, there was a time when this little girl cried...
