As the year approached, although the courtiers had a holiday and were free, the emperor was still busy.

In the afternoon of that day, he quickly took the time to come out, wanting to go out of the palace to see Ji Heng.

Liu Sheng did not persuade him after a few words, even though he said that the queen mother might invite him, it still did not dissuade the emperor from going out of the palace in a micro-clothes.

Ji Heng was dizzy, lying on the bed, trying to fall asleep, but he couldn't fall asleep. The past and the past were like clouds of smoke, turning around in his mind disorderly. When you are sick, there are times when your heart is weak.

Mrs. Xu hardly had the heart to manage the affairs of the mansion, and as usual, she left the matter to Fourth Aunt to take care of.

Ji Heng gets sick every Chinese New Year, which makes her very uncomfortable.

The doctor Wu Fupei was still invited to treat her family. Doctor Wu prescribed medicine and gave Ji Heng an injection, but Ji Heng’s condition did not improve much. Doctor Wu could only say that Ji Heng was young and worried. Too much thinking, accumulated in the heart, that's why the body is weak, and it will explode every year when the accumulation is idle during the Chinese New Year. Unless Ji Heng is allowed to think less, it will be difficult to recover, and as soon as the weakness is added, the body will be weak in the future. It's only going to get worse.

Mrs. Xu sent the doctor away, and persuaded Ji Heng by his bedside, "You are still so young, and you are overwhelmed with worries and pent up in your heart. What is it? I said a long time ago that I should not enter the palace to be a companion." Read, it's all caused by your father, he doesn't care about your life just for his official career."

Ji Heng opened his eyes in a daze, and persuaded her softly, "Mother, don't be angry, I'm fine."

Xu cried, "Why do you call it nothing?"

Ji Heng didn't know what to say, he just reached out and took Xu's hand.

Xu Qilang personally brought in the medicine from outside and brought it to the bedside.

Only then did Xu wipe away his tears, took the medicine, and asked Xu Qilang to help Ji Heng up and sit on the bedside, and then feed him the medicine.

Xu Qilang supported Ji Heng and stretched out his hand to stroke his forehead. Ji Heng would only rely on him when he was sick, and would be weak and weak like a younger brother.

Xu Qilang felt sorry for Ji Heng's illness, but at the same time was happy that he could take care of him when he was ill, his mood was naturally contradictory and complicated.

Ji Heng was trying to drink the medicine, when Li Zhi ran in quickly, Mrs. Xu saw that she didn't follow the rules, so she lightly scolded, "What's the matter?"

Li Zhi stepped forward and hurriedly replied, "Your Majesty, the Emperor is here."

The emperor came to the Ji mansion several times, although each time he was dressed in modest clothes and concealed his identity, but Li Zhi also knew that he was the emperor.

The bowl in Xu's hand trembled, looked at Ji Heng again, and said, "The emperor's gift came only in the morning, why is he here in person now?"

Ji Heng sighed softly, "I'm afraid it was Eunuch Liu who told me about my illness after entering the palace."

Xu put the medicine bowl aside, then asked Xu Qilang to put Ji Heng away, and took Xu Qilang out to greet him.

The emperor came to Ji's mansion many times, and he knew the place where Ji Heng lived, so he came in directly, because he knew that there were no other female relatives living here.

Mrs. Xu and Xu Qilang greeted the emperor at the gate of the main room. The emperor was dressed in navy blue casual clothes and walked like the wind. Mrs. Xu and a group of maidservants hurriedly knelt down to greet her. The emperor entered the main room and came to help Mrs. Xu. Said, "Madam, excuse me. I heard that Junqing is ill, so I will come and see him."

Xu said in panic, "It's just a minor illness, but the emperor's presence is deeply disturbing to my wife."

The emperor said, "I just came to meet my friends, don't think too much."

He let go of Mrs. Xu, and was about to go to Ji Heng's room by himself, saying, "Junqing is recuperating here."

Xu said, "Heng'er was caught in the wind and cold, if you offend the emperor, it will be the fault of the family, the emperor please don't get close."

The emperor frowned, "Ma'am, don't be so concerned, since I'm here, there is no reason to leave without seeing someone."

His tone was full of eagerness and dissatisfaction, Xu did not dare to say any more, so he had to take the emperor into Ji Heng's bedroom.

Ji Heng sat on the bed, feeling weak.

Seeing the emperor entering, he was about to get out of bed and salute. The emperor quickly walked over, sat down on the edge of the bed, and quickly pressed his shoulders, "Don't move."

Ji Heng lost a lot of weight due to illness, and his round cheeks before even showed a little edge. Although he has been sleeping drowsily, now he has some blue color and is very haggard.

When the emperor saw him like this, he thought that maybe Liu Sheng was exaggerating, but now he realized that Ji Heng was really very ill, his heart was like a knife being cut.

Ji Heng had to gasp for three times when he said a word. At this time, he finally gathered his strength and said, "Your Majesty, my minister is sick, and I gave you the sickness. That minister deserves to die. You should hurry up." Let's go back."

The emperor frowned and said, "Stop talking, why are you so sick?"

Mrs. Xu whispered next to her, "I have been ill for ten days, and I have been procrastinating like this, but it is not getting better. The doctor said that I am too worried, and the depression in my heart is gathering, and I can't let it out, so I keep burning and can't get better. If it goes on like this, the body will be dragged down.”

As she said that, she was already wiping tears again. She saw her son who was doing well and was so sick that he lost his shape.

Xu Qilang, several other maidservants, and several of the emperor's personal servants stood beside the screen respectfully, not daring to step forward without the emperor's signal.

The emperor grabbed Ji Heng's hand, felt his palm was hot and moist, his face was pale, but he was sweating profusely, which was indeed a symptom of weakness.

I know Xu is not telling lies.

Although he was worried about Ji Heng wholeheartedly, he still paid more attention to the young man who had been there just now. He knew that this young man was Ji Heng's cousin.

Xu Qilang also looked sad. The 14-year-old boy has grown to more than 160 centimeters. He is thin and tall, with a handsome and romantic appearance.

The emperor looked at him a few more times, but didn't say anything.

He turned to Mrs. Xu and said, "Madam, I would like to say a few words to Junqing alone."

Now that the emperor said so, Xu had no choice but to leave the place to him, so he took another look at his son, got up and went out.

Everyone else in the room also retreated.

Seeing that everyone had left, the emperor showed a little weakness. His eyes were a little red, and he stretched out his hand to hug Ji Heng into his arms. He said, "Your Majesty, you are making this humble minister very uncomfortable."

Hearing what he said, the emperor had no choice but to let him go quickly and said, "I will help you to lie down."

Ji Heng didn't object, so he supported Ji Heng, let him lie down again, then adjusted the quilt for him, leaned down to look at Ji Heng quietly, and sighed, "I lost my temper with you last time. , I regretted it afterwards. Look at you, you were sick when you came back, why didn’t you tell me.”

Ji Heng whispered feebly, "The emperor has his own judgment, and this humble minister is not angry with the emperor."

The emperor shook his head, "Always say insincere words in front of me. I know you are angry with me. I am just afraid that no one can be trusted. Junqing, you can't leave me, do you understand?"

Ji Heng sighed softly, "Besides being loyal to you, who else can I be loyal to. Your Majesty, you are worrying too much."

The emperor leaned down and gently stroked Ji Heng's slightly sweaty forehead with his hands, "Although you are my subject, I want you to be my friend, the best, the most intimate, and the only friend. I can't live without you, you You know what I mean."

Ji Heng was stunned for a moment, he didn't know whether the emperor relied on him so much because he lost his parents and felt insecure, or it was something else.

But he didn't think too much about it, he just said, "I understand."

The emperor smiled lightly, and then touched Ji Heng's eye corners, his cheeks, his chin, and even brushed his fingers over his slightly pale lips with his big hands. The weak Ji Heng took off his usual mask, looking Weak and pitiful, the emperor's whole heart was about to melt, and he said softly, "We can quarrel, but don't be angry with me. I will always love you. Your mother said that you are too worried and depressed. , Is this because of me, don't think about it, no matter what happens, I will never be really angry with you."

Ji Heng was a little confused by the emperor's sweet words, and he really deserved it, so he could only say softly, "Thank you."

Ji Heng, who was sick, seemed to be a different person. He didn't have the cold mask he used to have, and he didn't have the armor that was deliberately erected with rules.

The emperor's heart beat uncontrollably, he really wanted to kiss him and hug him, but he knew it was impossible.

However, there are so many lingering affections and deep distress in his eyes, all emotions are ready to come out, Ji Heng feels puzzled, but doesn't want to think deeply for a while.

The emperor finally put a kiss on Ji Heng's forehead, which made Ji Heng very confused. The emperor quickly straightened up and said, "I asked the imperial doctor Weng to come to see you again. You must get well quickly, or I will not let you go." You also have to work carelessly.”

Ji Heng said, "You should also take care of yourself. For the New Year's Day ceremony, you should wear two layers of underwear inside, so you don't get cold."

The emperor smiled, held Ji Heng's wet hand in his palm, touched it to his lips involuntarily, and said, "If you really care about me, get well soon, or I will feel guilty , you got sick because you were angry with me."

Ji Heng said: "I'm not angry with you, it's nothing."

The emperor, however, was obsessed with nonsense, "Will I not know, yes."

He saw that Ji Heng didn't want to leave, but thinking about the time, he couldn't let him stay here any longer. He put Ji Heng's hand under the quilt, touched his cheek and hair, and said, "I Just go first, don't think about it, get well soon."

Ji Heng nodded, "Your Majesty, be careful all the way."

Only then did the emperor get up, step back and walk out of the inner room.
