The King of Chu opened his eyes slowly, looked at the smiling Song Yan in front of him without any panic, and ate the millet porridge that Song Yan fed again as if nothing had happened.

But just after taking a bite, Song Yan asked Ji Zhao to take away the porridge bowl. The king of Chu had only eaten two mouthfuls, and he was not hungry at all. Seeing the porridge bowl being taken away, Song Yan's stomach growled, and he called "Wait a minute."

Song Yan smiled and said, "Didn't uncle have a stroke? I didn't expect it to heal so quickly."

The King of Chu was a little embarrassed, and felt that Song Yan had a knife in his smile, which hurt his eyes.

But what can be done? Soldiers come to block, water comes to soil, even if you are pretending to be crazy, you have to get through the difficulties first.

So the king of Chu squeezed out two tears, sobbed and said: "I fell unconscious after suffering a stroke yesterday, and now I am able to recover, thanks to the great blessing of your majesty. I would like to thank your majesty for coming to visit me. I was able to let the minister recover so quickly."

The king of Chu flattered the emperor for a while, and attributed all the credit for being able to wake up to the emperor. Even if the emperor wanted to pursue it, he would naturally not deal with it easily.

Song Yan looked at the red eyes of the King of Chu, and his heart was not as complicated as the King of Chu thought. He just sighed: "I didn't want to disturb my uncle, but I saw my uncle selling cakes in the street yesterday, so I still wanted to punish him. But later I heard my uncle said that selling cakes is just a hobby, so I thought it was not bad, but uncle was afraid that I would blame you for it, so he had a stroke?"

The King of Chu listened carefully to every word Song Yan said, for fear that some of his words were temptations and which ones were traps that he would not discover.

The King of Chu replied: "I...I just had an emergency, and I didn't know that His Majesty would come to Jingchu."

Seeing the king of Chu's answer, Song Yan just smiled, but the king of Chu was not calm when he smiled. He was carefully wondering why the emperor laughed. Did he know something?

Only then did Song Yan let Ji Zhao leave the bedroom quickly, and invited the princess and the king over.

Seeing that King Chu woke up, the princess threw herself into King Chu's arms and wept with pear blossoms and rain. King Ying only said that it was thanks to the emperor's blessing that King Chu woke up so quickly.

But when King Chu looked at King Ying, his eyes were full of helplessness.

King Chu: The emperor is too powerful.

King of England: I learned it in the morning.

King Chu: I can no longer pretend to be sick, what should I do?

King of England: Let’s take a step at a time.

The King of Chu hugged the princess with his eyes closed and sighed, swallowing all the sadness and grievances in his stomach, and then there were a few gurgling sounds from his stomach.

Song Yan covered his lips and coughed softly: "Aunt Wangfei, uncle is hungry. He must have eaten nothing during his coma. He must be very hungry. Hurry up and pass food to uncle."

The concubine responded, and then ordered the housekeeper to cook breakfast for the king of Chu.

Only then did Song Yan hook his lips into a smile, and only called King Ying out of the bedroom, out of the courtyard and toward the corridor, looking at the wave of clear water, the autumn wind swaying Song Yan's clothes, he looked sideways at King Ying with his hands behind his back and said:

"I don't care about why Uncle Chu had an emergency and why he woke up suddenly. It's just that he is a prince, and living in such a remote place is really not in keeping with his status and etiquette. He will rest for a whole day today, and Uncle Ying will come tomorrow." So I held hands and arranged for Uncle Chu to move back to the palace."

King Ying was slightly stunned: "Your Majesty, but Brother Wang feels that he can feel more at ease living here."

Song Yan: "Since you are at ease, why would you suddenly have an emergency? I think all the government offices in the prefectures must have notified you about my insignificant tour, so Uncle Chu will definitely not have an emergency just because I am coming to Jingchu, could it be Uncle, does he have other things to hide from me?"

The King of England was flustered, and hurriedly saluted and said, "Brother Wang just happened suddenly, and has nothing to do with His Majesty."

Song Yan: "Okay, it's an imperial decree to move back to the palace. Here, I think the layout is good. During the time I was in Jingchu, I lived here."

The King of England looked at Song Yan suspiciously, but happened to meet his gaze. The Queen of England's back was numb with such calm and prestige eyes, and she quickly bowed in response, and then left.

Song Yan was going to live in the small palace in Xiahefang, and he issued an imperial decree to let the Chu family move back to the palace. The servants and servants in this mansion were all busy, packing up some things that were going to be moved back to the palace.

But in the middle of cleaning up, King Ying told everyone not to clean up. He wanted to ask Song Yan again to ask King Chu to wait for his body to recover before moving back to the palace, and asked Song Yan to go with them.

Song Yan thought about it and agreed.

In the bedroom of King Chu in the middle of the night, two brothers were sitting on the bed and beside the bed, both of them were downcast and thoughtful.

King Xu Jiuying said: "Brother Wang, it seems that I should go back to Yingchuan."

The King of Chu looked at him in surprise: "You can't go back to Yingchuan, I can't stand it now, if you go back to Yingchuan again, what should I do?"

The King of Ying looked at the King of Chu again, with complicated eyes, and finally sighed: "We have met that man, Your Majesty, and he is really difficult to deal with. Every sentence hides a knife and a trap, so I have to be careful when I speak. Obviously we are so much older than him, but he looks like an elder who is quite a bit older than us, with that look in his eyes, he thought that the father has come back to life, I am afraid that the late emperor is not as powerful as him."

King Chu was also a little dejected: "Isn't it? You said he was only 20 years old. Why did he have such old eyes? I looked a little silly. I don't know if it was because of that. I always felt that he knew and came here on purpose." Test us."

King Ying was a little anxious: "But that thing didn't happen after all. This Uncle Gaochang has died of illness, and Uncle Qinghe has become a monk. Brother Gaoyi and Brother Wencheng traveled the world together, and the other traveled westward on a crane. Let's go, let's not continue, we just want to live well right now, don't we?"

King Chu: "But in His Majesty's heart, we are all hidden dangers. Do you know what Uncle Qinghe said in his letter to me? It said that His Majesty had revealed to him before that he would pass it on to him."

King Ying's eyes widened in surprise: "No way, His Majesty really said that, I'm afraid it's a trap to test Uncle Wang."

The king of Chu nodded: "Yes, for this reason, His Majesty also asked Uncle Qinghe to be the examiner of the scientific examination. You must know that in that scientific examination, there were thirteen candidates from Qinghe Mansion, among them The six were disciples trained by Uncle Wang Qinghe, but it was because His Majesty made him an examiner that those six were removed from the list by Uncle Wang, and their names were lost to Sun Shan."

King Ying: "But this scientific examination is not a Milu Teng feudal system. How can Uncle Qinghe recognize their examination papers?"

Chu Wangdao: "This is a student trained by Uncle Qinghe, and Uncle Qinghe can recognize their papers at a glance, I am afraid that His Majesty also wants to take this opportunity to test Uncle Wang, so he is appointed as the reviewer. "

The King of England sighed and supported his forehead: "Your Majesty's thoughts are too poisonous."

The king of Chu looked at him and held his wrist: "You and I are brothers of the same mother and compatriots. Now that I am in trouble, you can't leave me."

King Ying really flinched a bit, but seeing King Chu's appearance, he said, "We can't beat Your Majesty."

The King of Chu waved his hand: "No, we are not trying to fight him. Maybe His Majesty already knows about our relationship with King Gaochang. If we don't say it clearly now, we just want to test our loyalty. Anyway, we have no intention of fighting for the position. Why don't we just go to the court?" Tell His Majesty directly that we just want to live and be loyal to him for the rest of our lives."

The King of England thought for a while: "Will His Majesty believe it?"

King Chu sighed: "Whether he believes it or not depends on whether we have done enough. As long as His Majesty feels that we are not threatened and his throne can be guaranteed, we will be safe."

King Ying nodded: "I listen to brother Wang!"

With the support of the King of Ying, the King of Chu felt more at ease, and his face gradually stabilized. He was also thinking about what to do in order to show the emperor that he had no determination to fight for the throne.

After all, it is better to do it once than to say it ten times with your mouth.

In this chamber, the king of Chu and the king of Ying are discussing how to win the trust of the emperor, while in the other courtyard, Song Yan and Ji Zhao are playing chess in the room, Yu Boyan and Qi Ruotang are busy with their own affairs, Chang Lu is a responsible person The servant, of course, has to guard the door, and beware of Song Yan's summons at any time.

Qi Ruotang, who was cleaning and wiping the weapons in the room, stopped the towel in his hand, looked at Yu Boyan, "Isn't Mingyue too favored?"

Qi Ruotang continued to wipe the blade as if nothing had happened: "This Mingyue was personally summoned by His Majesty to the Imperial Army and sent to the Shence Battalion. Your Majesty has special care for Mingyue, so naturally he must be pampered."

Yu Boyan's mind flashed, and his eyes sparkled: "Your Majesty doesn't want Mingyue to be a male favourite, right?"

And then Qi Ruotang slapped him on the forehead: "What are you thinking about? Is your Majesty that kind of person? Besides, Mingyue is only 16 years old, which is against the rules."

There was a moment of silence in the room, then Qi Ruotang continued: "Perhaps His Majesty is cultivating Mingyue, and he will be his male pet when he grows up. After all, Mingyue is really good-looking."

Yu Boyan looked at him straight, snorted coldly, and continued to wipe the blade.

And in Song Yan's bedroom, Ji Zhao is staring at the chessboard with a sunspot in his hands, trying to find a breakthrough to turn defeat into victory.

The young man's piercing eyes were like a calm pool, unfathomable. As his facial features gradually opened up, his solemn expression became more imposing.

Song Yan had only taught him how to play chess twice, and now he had figured out the way to do it, and he was able to have a simple hand-to-hand conversation with Song Yan.

Song Yan took a sip of hot tea: "Mingyue, why don't you take a rest."

Ji Zhao shook his head, just looking for a breakthrough seriously.

Song Yan smiled: "Then you keep thinking, I still have something to tell you."

Hearing that he had something to tell, Ji Zhao immediately put down the chess pieces and looked up at him: "Your Majesty, please tell me."

Song Yan said: "The King of Chu sold meatloaf on the street before, and I was worried that he would waste his loyalty to the court, so I plan to let the King of Chu know his identity, so that I can entrust him with important responsibilities in the future."

Ji Zhao didn't understand: "But His Royal Highness King Chu sells meatloaf, but he is also close to ordinary people. Maybe because he is in harmony with the people, he can plead for the people and punish corrupt officials. Isn't it good?"

Song Yan pursed his lips. He naturally knew that this was good, but he had different expectations for King Chu. He didn't want King Chu to be a prince who punished corrupt officials, but to be a prince who could ascend to the throne in the future.

He was enjoying himself selling meatloaf on the street, and forgot his identity. He was afraid that those officials would not give him face after a long time, let alone punish corrupt officials.

Song Yan said: "Anyway, I want him to be a prince again, not a stall owner selling meat pies."

Ji Zhao thought for a while, then clasped his fists and saluted and said, "Your Majesty, remember, as long as your Majesty orders, I will do my best!"

Song Yan smiled, and wanted to reach out to touch his head, only to realize that there was a distance away, so he was about to withdraw his hand in embarrassment.

Unexpectedly, Ji Zhao saw his intention, and consciously placed his head in Song Yan's palm, as well-behaved as a cat.

When the warm forehead was pressed against Song Yan's palm, the hot Song Yan paused, and when he was about to withdraw, Ji Zhao grabbed his wrist and continued to stick to his forehead:

"I know that His Majesty likes to touch my head the most, so this place only belongs to His Majesty."

A simple sentence made Song Yan's heart a little bit crisp, and his heart beat a little faster, so he quickly withdrew his hand and said:

"In my eyes, you are just a child."

"But I will grow up too. I'm 16 years old."

"That's only 16 years old, still a child."

"It will be me in another two years... I will be an adult."

"Well, when you become an adult, I will make you a general."

Ji Zhao was silent for a long time. What he wanted to be was actually not a general. As long as Song Yan wanted to, he could be Song Yan's personal bodyguard for the rest of his life.
