The booklet for retiring from old age and returning to one's hometown has been written, and Chu Xiu read it over and over again, revising it, many times in a row.Sitting in the study all the time but not making up my mind, if I just leave my old age and return to my hometown like this, I will lose my future political future if I succeed; if I don’t succeed, I will also anger the emperor, maybe the emperor will do something .

It's already past the third watch, and the world is silent, only the sound of clappers on the street is heard, Chu Xiu is still awake, although the maids don't know what happened, but judging from Chu Xiu's situation, it should be related to the emperor, And it's not a good thing.

After Xiyuan went into the room to persuade her several times, Chu Xiu washed up and went to bed.After not sleeping for a long time, he had a nightmare and dreamed that the emperor was touching him, and he was frightened and woke up. He woke up in a cold sweat, and found that his injured hand was pressed when he turned over, so he had a painful nightmare.

After waking up, she couldn't sleep anymore, Chu Xiu leaned on the bed, it was pitch black, even there was no moonlight outside the window.

Chu Xiu thought a lot like this, thinking about his life in modern times, thinking about the happy life of little Chu Xiu in the manor, thinking about the days with the emperor this year, thinking about all kinds of people he met, Think about the common people in the world, think about the purpose of life, think about the meaning of life... From Confucius in China to Li Shizhen who tasted all kinds of herbs to write the compendium of the dynasty, from Bao Qingtian in the Song Dynasty to Hai Rui in the Ming Dynasty, from the parachutist Li Guang to Qi Jiguang, the army of the Qi family, from Mi Zixia, who was divided into peaches, was abandoned by Wei Linggong for his old age, to Dong Xian, who lost his sleeve, and his family was ruined after the death of Emperor Ai of the Han Dynasty...

In short, even if a minister does not get benefits from the emperor, as long as he does practical things and seeks benefits for the people, he can at least retain his loyalty and history. Yes, Mi Zixia, Han Yan, Deng Tong, Dong Xian and other famous courtiers in history did not end well. They set up a monument for Chu Xiu, telling him to see the lessons from the past.

Sitting like this for a whole night, Chu Xiu got up from the bed at five o'clock, and put away the booklet of retiring from old age and returning home, and picked up a pen to rewrite a new one:

The minister was born in a grassy countryside, his parents died early, he was taught by his aunt rigorously, and learned poetry and etiquette in the court as soon as he could remember.The emperor's kindness is greater than that of the mountains. It is extensive and continuous, and the teachings are close to the ear, like a father and a brother.I am grateful for the kindness of the emperor, and I am willing to do my best for the emperor's foundation in the world, and to live up to the kindness of the emperor.

I am poor in qualifications and incomplete in etiquette, and I am ashamed to offend the emperor's sages. Moreover, the court is constantly changing, and I am still young, with unclear eyesight. However, the minister is worried.Wang stays away from the court for a while, travels in the country, investigates the lives of the people, knows the sufferings of the people, develops ideas, experiences for several years, and returns to relieve the emperor's worries when his heart is strong.

…………

Chu Xiu wrote a thousand words eloquently, probably meaning that he wanted to leave and hoped the emperor's approval.

After that, he wrote another letter to Qin Yue, saying that he would leave Qin Yue for a period of time, and he would not betray Qin Yue's love, but if Qin Yue met someone who knew and loved each other, don't bother him, just marry if you want .

Although there was a stove burning in the room, but after sitting for too long, Chu Xiu's hands and feet were numb after writing, and the injured part was even more painful. Chu Xiu wrote another sick note and asked the coachman in the house to send it together palace.

That afternoon, Chu Xiu was warming her feet on the foot warmer and reading a book. Without any notification, a person entered the room.Chu Xiu was serious about reading the book. The emperor came in and stood there for a while, but he didn’t react at all. He would frown or smile while looking at the book. Writing notes, at the end, it was Yinxiang, the maid who brought tea into the room, who broke the weird atmosphere of the study.

First gave the emperor a cup of ginseng tea, and then put another cup on Chu Xiu's desk, and said softly, "My lord, the emperor is here."

Chu Xiu looked too seriously, so she didn't understand Yin Xiang's meaning, she lowered her head and replied casually, "Let him wait in the front hall, I'll be fine here."

After a few seconds, he realized that he suddenly raised his head and said in surprise, "The emperor is here?"

When he looked up, he saw the emperor in casual clothes sitting on a chair beside him drinking tea. He panicked and stood up all of a sudden, not realizing that he was not wearing shoes, and his feet were still in the foot heater. Going back to the chair, he swept all the papers on the desk and scattered them on the floor.

Seeing that Yinxiang was about to go out, Chu Xiu didn't dare to be alone with the emperor, and immediately called out, "Yinxiang, come and put the paper away!"

Chu Xiu just pulled up her shoes and was about to kneel down to worship the emperor, Yin Xiang took a look at the emperor, and slowly packed up the papers.

"You don't need to kneel. I heard that your feet and hands are injured? Let me take a look!" The emperor put down his teacup and said, with an unclear expression.

Chu Xiu’s sick note said that the wind and cold had not healed, but the emperor said that his hands and feet were injured. It seemed that the maid beside him had reported to the emperor. Chu Xiu casually glanced at Yin Xiang, and said, “No What a serious injury, it will be healed in a few days! Your Majesty, I don't know about my letter..."

The emperor didn't wait for Chu Xiu to finish, and said, "I heard that you sprained your ankle and your hand is boneless. When you left yesterday, why didn't you tell me?"

It seems that the emperor knew that these injuries were caused by him, did he come to express condolences, "This injury is not serious, don't dare to alarm the emperor!"

After all, Chu Xiu felt that she had been wronged and suffered a loss, and her tone inevitably had a hint of complaint.

A little smile appeared on the emperor's face when he heard this, and he said, "I never thought that you would be so easily injured. I brought the imperial doctor here and let him come in to show you! If you don't take good care of your wounds, you may become a wounded person in the future." cripple!"

Hearing what the emperor said, Chu Xiu's feet began to hurt again, and she was really afraid that she would become a cripple in the future.

Mingsong, the chief bodyguard of the emperor standing outside the door, listened to the emperor's instructions, and asked Wu Jinming, the imperial physician, to come in to see Chu Xiu.

Chu Xiu stood on one leg, leaning on the desk, and sat down on a chair beside him. The emperor saw that he was struggling, so he helped him up. When the emperor touched him, Chu Xiu trembled unspeakably.

The injured right foot was wrapped with thick cloth strips, which were untied layer by layer. Seeing that the ankle was not lightly swollen and had turned purple, the old doctor sighed a few words, gave him a light massage, and then tied it again. After a few injections, he washed off the medicine he had taken, and reapplied the ointment, and then wrapped his feet with new gauze.

The emperor sat aside and watched, Chu Xiu frowned slightly and kept staring at the old doctor's movements. Compared with other men, his feet were much smaller and smoother, and their white skin seemed to be transparent, very beautiful. The emperor just looked at it like this and said He didn't know how he felt in his heart. He didn't think about doing that yesterday, but he felt empty and annoyed all of a sudden, so he didn't know what to do. Chu Xiu clearly knew what he meant, but kept pretending not to know. He respects the etiquette of rulers and ministers, but sometimes he will talk softly to him and act like a baby. Everyone in the world is controlled by him, but he doesn't know what Chu Xiu thinks. He just wanted to confirm what Chu Xiu meant yesterday, but he didn't expect He was hurt like this, and he was rejected.
