The Road to Survival of the Cannon Fodder

Shen Zixun just got dressed after washing up, "Are you sure you can wash your face?"

The little guy patted his chest proudly, "Of course! The nanny said I'm amazing!"

Raising his eyebrows with interest, Shen Zixun pointed to the water basin brought up by the servants, "Then you wash it", and then watched with folded arms.The little guy wanted to show off happily, and then Shen Zixun saw the little guy washing his face as effectively as taking a bath.After wiping his face, the little guy looked at the ground he had stained, and his face turned red with embarrassment.Shen Zixun: "..."

--------------

When Shen Zixun and the little guy hadn't finished their breakfast, the gate guard came to report, saying that Jing Xun was waiting outside the door for a visit.The hand holding the vegetables paused, looked at the little guy's suddenly changed face, and called Zhang Liang, "You go and take Xiaojia... the little boy to the guest room, and take some of the food to make him full. Wait for me in the guest room first, don't wander around."

After watching Zhang Liang walking down with the little guy in his arms, Shen Zixun slowly got up and went to the door to meet him in person.After tapping a few acupuncture points on the road, his face turned pale in an instant, and he coughed uncontrollably.

When he reached the gate of the General's Mansion, Shen Zixun was already in a state of "emergency" and fully complied with the situation written in the booklet.

"My minister, ahem... welcome the lord... ahem..." There was a pause, but this seriously ill appearance startled Jing Lian.I thought that even if the boy got sick, it wouldn't be serious, but he didn't expect that he seemed to be seriously ill.

"If you are not in good health, don't walk around, go in quickly." While talking, he walked towards the door with the boy.The corner of Shen Zixun's mouth twitched, and he rolled his eyes inwardly, he didn't regard himself as an outsider!

The two sat in the front hall, Shen Zixun looked at the scene, not understanding why he came.

"My lord is fine. I just heard that you were sick and took leave. The emperor sent me to see you. I didn't expect you to be so seriously ill. You were fine yesterday morning." Hearing the young man's continuous coughing, Jing I am really anxious in my heart.

Shen Zixun smiled sarcastically in his heart, you and your imperial nephew are probably wishing that I would die sooner!On the face, he was full of gratitude, and he brought Rong Rang's stupid loyalty to the emperor to the extreme, "Thank you, my lord and your majesty, cough...worried, to tell you the truth, my humble minister last night, cough... a small thief entered the house , drugged the minister, cough cough...turned the minister's bedroom upside down, fortunately, cough... Wei Chen woke up early, followed the thief out, cough cough cough...turned him and his accomplices The Fa-rectification took place on the spot. But because, cough... too hurried, I didn't have time to put on my coat, so I caught the wind and cold. Cough, cough..." Shen Zixun knew that he couldn't hide what happened last night from the person in front of him. If you find out and start to doubt, it is better to say it yourself in advance, which can dispel Jing's vigilance to a certain extent.

Seeing the pitiful appearance of the boy coughing while talking, Jing Lian felt very uncomfortable, but he couldn't explain why he was uncomfortable.

Talked to the young man again, seeing the young man's pale face, Xin Chang's body became thinner and thinner, his thin lips became paler due to coughing, his eyes were full of tiredness, and the uncomfortable feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger. He didn't want to let the fragile appearance of the always arrogant young man out of his sight, and he didn't want the young man to continue to sit here and feel uncomfortable. In the end, he still couldn't bear to see the young man's uncomfortable appearance, and offered to leave.

After sending Jing Xun away, Shen Zixun summoned all of you, "Go and investigate Jing Xun, and report to me every detail."

They looked at each other secretly, not understanding why their master wanted to investigate Jing Xun, but they still took orders.

Shen Zixun, who had untied the acupoints, slowly calmed down his breathing, drinking water to moisten his coughing burning throat, while thinking about things.Jing Xun was the only surviving son of the former emperor except Emperor Chengze after the six sons seized the throne. His biological mother was Concubine De. After giving birth to Jing Xun, she was in poor health and passed away when Jing Xun was more than one year old.Standing up and looking in the direction of the guest room, Shen Zixun's eyes flickered slightly. If I remember correctly, Jing Xun is just four years old this year...

Here Shen Zixun was waiting for Jing Xun's detailed news, but he didn't know that someone on the other side was worried about him.After Jing Xian returned to the mansion, he has been unable to calm down. No matter what he does, a boy's face will always appear in his mind—from when he first noticed it, he came from riding a horse, dressed in court clothes, and talked in the teahouse. Showing grievances, until today, the sickly face and snow-white complexion, the young man's every move for the past month has been clearly engraved in his mind, he was in a trance, ups and downs, making Jing Lian a little at a loss like never before.

"Boom boom boom..."

Hearing the knock on the door, Jing Xian recovered from his daze, pressed his forehead in distress, and said in his usual voice, "Enter".

Ming Yi pushed the door open and came in, "Report to the lord, everything General Rong said has been verified to be true, two corpses were found in the dense forest outside the city, and they have been dealt with now."

Intuition that the young man didn't lie, Jing Xing was deeply satisfied, "Go down." Before Ming Yi walked out of the room, he called him again, "Wait a minute."

"What are your orders from the lord?"

"If you always unconsciously think of someone, think about them, or even want to see them all the time..." Before he could finish speaking, Jing Lian's words came to an abrupt end, his complexion changed, regardless of Ming Yi's somewhat surprised expression , "It's okay, you can continue to check Jing Xun's whereabouts."

Ming Yi, who has always been shrewd, was a little dazed. After he walked out the door, he thought about what the prince said, and finally he was a little self-doubting and determined that the prince had a sweetheart, but he had never seen the prince favoring any woman. It was really impressive. Tangled.He smiled wryly and stopped thinking about it, anyway, there is nothing the prince can't solve.

Ming Yi, who had great confidence in his lord, naturally couldn't imagine that Jing Xian was falling into deep confusion because of the fact that he had such feelings for Rong Rang.
