Prince Consort

Zhao Yijing remained unconscious after falling into the water.

Zhao Chongzhao called Imperial Physician Hu over, and Imperial Physician Hu frowned, and said, "It's winter, and you still took people to the lake to see the snow, don't you think he's not sick enough?"

Zhao Chongzhao felt depressed.I originally wanted to go to relax, but I didn't expect to encounter such a thing instead.Zhao Chongzhao asked someone to watch over Zhao Yijing, and went to have dinner by himself.After taking two bites, Zhao Chongzhao was still unhappy, his eyelids were twitching, as if something was happening.

He immediately hated his absurdity, why did Xie Zean have to coax him.Xie Zean was the same age as him, so it was fine if he didn't let Xie Zean go, and he was angry with Xie Zean because of a small matter, now it's all right, eating alone.

Zhao Chongzhao threw the chopsticks away, asked someone to bring his horse, and rode out of the palace gate.

He rode to Xie Zean's house, but saw a familiar figure coming out of Xie Zean's house from a distance: It was Li Minglin!

Zhao Chongzhao was furious, wishing he could kill Li Minglin on the spot.Xie Ze'an seemed to be angry with him, not only did he not keep a distance from Li Minglin, but he paid more attention to Li Minglin than before, and often walked with Li Minglin.It's all right now, let's invite Li Minglin to the house!

Xie Ze'an had never invited him to his home in a serious manner, and he was the only one who came along on his own.

Zhao Chongzhao was furious when he suddenly heard the soft sound of a flute coming from Xie Mansion.That tune was something Zhao Chongzhao had never heard before, but it inexplicably made Zhao Chongzhao's heart tighten slightly.He walked into Xie's mansion in three steps at a time, commanded the servants along the way with his eyes to keep silent, and walked directly to the courtyard where Xie Ze'an was.

Xie Ze'an was leaning at the end of the corridor, playing his flute.

The falling snow blocked each other's sight.Zhao Chongzhao stood at the arch and watched from afar. Xie Zean was leaning there lazily, with a three-pointed and seven-pointed tired expression. His slender fingers pressed on the jade flute, and his eyelashes drooped slightly. He didn't notice his expression. Arrived, concentrate on blowing the ups and downs of the song.

Zhao Chongzhao's heart also rose and fell along with the song.He didn't know what Xie Zean was bragging about, but felt a little flustered for no reason.He had never seen Xie Ze'an like this before, as if he was so far away from him all of a sudden, so far away that he could no longer reach him.

Zhao Chongzhao stepped forward quickly and interrupted the sound of the flute: "Sanlang!"

Xie Ze'an was startled, slowly put down the flute, turned to look at Zhao Chongzhao: "Your Majesty is coming?"

Zhao Chongzhao felt even more uncomfortable when he heard Xie Zean's "Your Majesty".He held Xie Zean's hand tightly, as if wanting to confirm Xie Zean's existence.

Xie Ze'an didn't break free, and looked at Zhao Chongzhao quietly.

Zhao Chongzhao asked: "Sanlang, what are you playing? I don't think I've heard it before."

Xie Ze'an said: "Late Autumn."

Zhao Chongzhao was stunned for a moment, then repeated in confusion: "Late autumn?"

Xie Ze'an said with a "huh" and said, "I heard it before, but I suddenly remembered it. It's not good, and it's not suitable for the occasion. It polluted His Majesty's ears."

Zhao Chongzhao was so wronged that his nose felt a little sour: "Sanlang, let's not talk like that, okay?"

Xie Zean was stunned.

Zhao Chongzhao reached out and hugged Xie Ze'an tightly: "Sanlang, Sanlang, I was wrong, can't I be wrong? Don't talk to me like this. I feel bad, San Lang, I feel bad. I didn't eat dinner, and no one was with me eat……"

Xie Zean asked calmly, "Where's Yijing?"

Zhao Chongzhao didn't understand why Xie Ze'an suddenly mentioned Zhao Yijing, but he replied honestly: "He accidentally fell into the water today, and he hasn't woken up yet."

Xie Ze'an didn't speak any more.

Zhao Chongzhao said: "Sanlang, have you eaten? Let's eat together."

Xie Ze'an said, "I've already eaten." He didn't hide anything, "I ate it with Da Lang and Ming Lin."

Zhao Chongzhao let go of his hands, took a deep breath, and said, "Sanlang, are you trying to anger me on purpose?"

Xie Ze'an said: "No. What's so angry with you? If I cover it up and insist that I didn't eat, then I would be weird." He leaned back on the long pillar, "I have a meal with my colleagues and elder brother. What's wrong?"

Zhao Chongzhao looked at Xie Zean's slightly drooping eyelashes, and the anger in his heart disappeared for no reason.Didn't he come to make peace with Xie Ze'an?It's not worth arguing over such a trivial matter.Zhao Chongzhao said: "Sanlang, what I said that day was all angry words, don't be angry with me. We..."

Xie Zean listened carefully, his eyes paused, and he turned to look at the arch.

Zhao Chongzhao followed Xie Zean's gaze, and saw Xie Dalang standing there with a servant in his arms.

Seeing Zhao Chongzhao, the servant looked over.Immediately said: "Your Majesty, it's me! It's me! I'm the person next to the young master, and the young master has woken up! The young master wants to see you..."

Xie Ze'an said: "Yijing is not in good health, and he was shocked again after falling into the water. You should go back and see him." He reminded Zhao Chongzhao nonchalantly, "Prince Hu is good at recuperating. If Yijing catches a cold, it is best to ask doctor Zhang to see him." Look, Physician Zhang is good at "Treatise on Febrile Diseases."

Xie Ze'an said this calmly, Zhao Chongzhao nodded subconsciously without realizing the weirdness inside.

Xie Ze'an said: "Yi Jing didn't eat any food either, you ask someone to prepare some gruel, let's eat it together."

Zhao Chongzhao raised his head abruptly, meeting Xie Zean's eyes.Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he gave Xie Zean a hard look, flicked his sleeves, and left without looking back.

Xie Ze'an watched Zhao Chongzhao leave, put away the jade flute and said to Xie Dalang, "Let's go and interrogate the assassin."

Xie Dalang looked at Xie Ze'an worriedly.

Xie Ze'an was about to say "I'm fine" when he saw Zhao Chongzhao and turned back.Zhao Chongzhao walked back quickly, and settled a few steps away from him: "Are you wishing that I could find someone else?" His eyes were angry, "Are you wishing to push me to others?"

Zhao Chongzhao came back to it only after hearing Xie Zean's sentence "Let's eat together".When he came to Xie Zean, what he said was "I didn't eat dinner, no one to accompany me to eat", Xie Zean asked "Where is Yijing?" Obviously, from Xie Zean's point of view, he and Zhao Yijing obviously have something!Thinking of Xie Ze'an's careless care after meeting Zhao Yijing, and Xie Ze'an's calm exhortation just now, Zhao Chongzhao felt as if a piece of his heart had been forcibly taken away by someone.

Xie Ze'an doesn't care, Xie Ze'an doesn't care at all!After "discovering" that he found someone else, Xie Ze'an was so generous that he cared about that "other"!He was always vigilant about the people around Xie Zean, but Xie Zean generously sent him to others!

Zhao Chongzhao was clearly on the verge of rage, but his eyes turned red inexplicably: "Are you eager to get rid of me!"

Xie Ze'an knew that as long as he said "yes", he could make Zhao Chongzhao go crazy on the spot.He turned his eyes away, not looking at Zhao Chongzhao's red eyes: "Zhao Chongzhao, don't ask, let me think about it."

Zhao Chongzhao took a hard look at Xie Dalang who was quietly standing aside after clearing the scene, feeling aggrieved and uncomfortable in his heart.Xie Ze'an and Xie Dalang are so good, didn't he say nothing?Xie Ze'an doubted him and Zhao Yijing!

However, Xie Ze'an clearly suspected him and Zhao Yijing, but he didn't care at all!

The so-called generosity is just because you don't care at all!

Zhao Chongzhao was about to cry, but he couldn't be cruel enough to get mad at Xie Ze'an.He didn't want to be so ashamed in front of Xie Dalang, so he gritted his teeth and turned to leave.

This time it was really gone.

Xie stood there silently.

The sky is snowing again.

Dai Shi took Xie Zean's cloak and handed it to him respectfully.

Xie Ze'an suddenly came back to his senses, put on his cloak, and said to Xie Dalang, "Go to the prisoner's place."

Zhao Chongzhao returned to the palace.

The servant who went to Xie Mansion to report the letter was determined to lure him to Zhao Yijing.Zhao Chongzhao said: "Just look at your young master. Go and find Imperial Doctor Zhang, and then ask the imperial dining room to send him some porridge. When your young master recovers, you tell him to let him live in the hotel. go."

The servant was startled, and was about to fight for Zhao Yijing, but Zhao Chongzhao gave him a cold look and scared him half to death.

The waiter ran back in a panic.

Zhao Yijing was drinking medicine, but when he heard the servant's words, his hands shook, the medicine bowl fell to the ground, and the medicine juice splashed all over the floor.

Obviously Zhao Chongzhao and Xie Zean have seen far less times in the past few days, and spent more time with him than anyone else, why did they suddenly want to send him away?

Is it...

Zhao Yijing gritted his teeth and said, "Help me up!"

The servant said: "The imperial doctor said, young master, you'd better rest..."

Zhao Yijing said: "Why are you resting! Help me quickly!"

Zhao Yijing walked outside the imperial study with the help of his servant.

Zhao Chongzhao was restless, standing in front of the painting and looking at the two people in the painting.At that time, he and Xie Zean were both young, about ten years old, and they went to play in the "Bridge City" in the eastern suburbs.The eastern suburbs are densely covered with water networks, and there are large and small bridges extending in all directions on the water network. There are vendors selling goods everywhere around the bridges, which is very lively.

At that time, there was no worry or worry at all.He just ran around holding Xie Zean's hand, Xie Zean could always come up with different ghost ideas, and led him to watch all the familiar or unfamiliar things.

Saburo, Saburo, Saburo...

This is his Saburo, the Saburo he will never let go of.Since Saburo is suspicious, even if he has a clear conscience, he will not keep Zhao Yijing in the palace.He played well with Zhao Yijing only because Zhao Yijing reminded him of Yan Ning. Since childhood, Zhao Yijing has been very like Yan Ning, as weak in body and as smart as a person. When he cares about Yan Ning, he always unconsciously takes Zhao Yijing along.

Just like he doesn't have any feelings for Yan Ning, he also has no other thoughts about Zhao Yijing.

At best, it's just a more playful playmate.

When Zhao Yijing and Xie Ze'an were put together, Zhao Chongzhao knew who was important without even thinking about it.

He will never let Xie Ze'an find an excuse to leave him!

Zhao Chongzhao carefully picked up the painting, hung it back on the wall, and fixedly looked at the little "Sanlang" on the painting smiling at him.

Just as he was in a daze, he suddenly heard Zhang Dade say: "Your Majesty, Mr. Fu Wang is here, waiting outside the door."

Zhao Chongzhao paused, waved his hands and said, "No, let him go back."

Zhang Dade took the order as he said, and went out to tell Zhao Yijing what Zhao Chongzhao meant.

Zhao Yijing's face turned pale, and he asked, "Brother really doesn't want to see me?"

Zhang Dade did not miss the flash of resentment in Zhao Chongzhao's eyes.elder brother?Shouting is really affectionate!Even Xie Ze'an would call Zhao Chongzhao "Your Majesty" in front of outsiders.Zhang Dade was not happy, and nodded with a stern face, "This is His Majesty's original words."

Zhao Yijing said: "...I understand."

Zhang Dade said no more, turned around and returned to his command.

Zhao Yijing called him: "Master Zhang, did something happen to Xie Shangshu?"

Zhang Dade was taken aback, shook his head and said, "No."

A trace of confusion flashed across Zhao Yijing's face.

Zhang Dade didn't turn around in a hurry this time, he stayed where he was and watched Zhao Yijing leave.Seeing that Zhao Chongzhao really didn't want to see him, Zhao Yijing bit his lip and left with the help of his servant.Zhao Chongzhao went to Xie's mansion, Xie Ze'an is fine...

After Zhao Yijing returned to the dormitory where he was staying, he coldly told the servant beside him: "Go to the next plan. If it doesn't work out, he might be suspicious..."

The servant took the order awe-inspiringly.

Zhang Dade sent Zhao Yijing away and returned to the imperial study.

Zhao Chongzhao was sitting there reading a book.

Zhang Dade said: "Young Master Fu Wang has already gone back."

Zhao Chongzhao nodded.

Zhang Dade said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Fu Wang just asked a question, saying, 'Is there something wrong with Xie Shangshu'?" He expressed his confusion seriously, "I don't understand why he would ask such a question. .”

Zhao Chongzhao was also taken aback after hearing this.

When Zhao Yijing asked this question, he obviously felt that this matter had something to do with Xie Zean.

Thinking carefully about Zhao Yijing's attitude towards him, Zhao Chongzhao suddenly found that Zhao Yijing really seemed to like him—otherwise, why would he deliberately get closer to him.It's a pity that he didn't notice it at all, and thought it was his beloved "brother" who came back.

Zhao Chongzhao couldn't help but think of Xie Ze'an's inexplicable and helpless face when he faced his questioning.

It seems that he was really too weak before.

Even if someone showed courtesy to Xie Ze'an, in Xie Ze'an's view, it was just a normal exchange between colleagues.If Xie Ze'an didn't have that thought at all, it would be really hard to detect this one-sided love.

Zhao Chongzhao felt a little wronged when he thought that he and Xie Ze'an had quarreled so many times for no reason.Zhao Chongzhao's eyes lit up when he thought about Xie Ze'an's dispute with him a few days ago.

Xie Ze'an was not a person with a happy face. He didn't say it, he didn't mention it, and he didn't show it on his face. It didn't mean he didn't care.

If it had been left in the past, Xie Ze'an would have coaxed him into submission long ago, and he couldn't get angry at all.This time Xie Ze'an didn't, not only didn't he, he even talked angry with him - when did that happen?It happened to be the day when Xie Ze'an caught him playing with Zhao Yijing!

Xie Ze'an was so abnormal because he cared about him.

Zhao Chongzhao's whole heart came alive.

He was about to ask Zhang Dade to prepare his horse and go out of the palace again, when he suddenly heard the faint sound of a flute from the south.Coincidentally, this flute sound is exactly the one Xie Zean called "Late Autumn"!

Zhao Chongzhao asked Zhang Dade to find the flute player.

That was Hua Dan who was "trained" by Xie Ze'an. When he saw Zhao Chongzhao, he was a little terrified, and bowed to the ground tremblingly: "I have seen Your Majesty."

Zhao Chongzhao couldn't see others kneeling like this.

He called the other party to get up, and asked casually, "Were you playing the flute just now?"

The other party said: "Yes, Your Majesty." He took the initiative to confess, "I saw the song when I went to Xie Shangshu's home the day before yesterday. At that time, Mr. Dai asked me to wait for Xie Shangshu in the study, and I found a piece of music by the wastebasket. The ball of paper, I wanted to pick it up, but I couldn’t help opening it. This is the song written on the ball of paper..."

Zhao Chongzhao nodded.

He knew that many people admired Xie Ze'an very much, and Xie Ze'an's "calligraphy" was hard to find outside.

The other party said: "Actually, there are words in the score, but the words are in plain language, which is a bit strange."

Zhao Chongzhao said: "It doesn't matter if it's weird, just sing and watch, and I'll hear what the words are."

The other party obeyed and sang "Late Autumn" that he had seen.

As soon as the first line of the lyrics came out, Zhao Chongzhao froze.

"On this late autumn when the maple leaves are falling, I realize that you are not everything in my life..."
