Your Highness, has he stopped today?

At night, Emperor Chongde woke up from his dream, sat up suddenly, panting heavily.He raised his hand to wipe, but found cold sweat on his forehead.

"What time is it?" Emperor Chongde asked with a frown.

Yu Deye, who was watching the night outside the house, came in with a bow, and replied softly through the gauze: "Reporting to Your Majesty, it is the three o'clock of Yin time. There is still some time before the court, Your Majesty, do you want to sleep for a while?"

Emperor Chongde's panting gradually calmed down, but the cold sweat was still there.

Yu Deye stood there waiting for his master to speak, but Emperor Chongde never spoke.After a while, he heard a rustling sound from the bed, he just stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty wants to change?"

Emperor Chongde had already lifted the bed curtain and sat on the edge of the bed without saying a word.

Yu Deye hung the bed net on the golden hook, and took a piece of clothes for him to put on.

Emperor Chongde took a long breath and said, "After dawn, go and invite Han Qing to see me first. I won't go to court today."

Yu Deye was stunned: "The old slave obeys."

"Your Majesty...but you are not feeling well?" Yu Deye asked tentatively.Since he came to the throne, although he has been diligent every day, he has rarely stopped the court. "Your Majesty's complexion doesn't seem to be very good. Do you need this old servant to invite the imperial doctor?"

"No need." Emperor Chongde waved his hand. "I'm having a nightmare."

Yu Deye bowed and asked, "What did Your Majesty dream about?"

"I dreamed of Dingyuanhou's family," Emperor Chongde narrowed his eyes, with a gloomy look on his face. "rebellion."

Yu Deye was terrified, he settled down, and quickly persuaded: "Your Majesty, dreams are always reversed. Don't scare yourself, Your Majesty."

Emperor Chongde shook his head: "Dingyuan's army has a military power of [-], and Lu Zheyu is far away in Lizhou. If their family wants to rebel, it will be a piece of cake."

Yu Deye said: "However, Marquis Dingyuan has been hereditary for several generations, and they are all loyal and good ministers. How could he rebel?"

"I gave them a chance." Emperor Chongde breathed out. "If Lu Zheyu could be a son-in-law with peace of mind, I wouldn't be suspicious of him, but he wants to disobey the imperial decree."

Yu Deye asked fearfully: "Then what are your majesty's plans?"

Emperor Chongde's expression was dark, he was silent for a long time, and said: "Change clothes for me, I want to draw up a decree."

……

Returning from the palace, the butler walking outside the sedan chair seemed to find that after his lord came out of the imperial study today, he was much more energetic, and he spoke with a smile.

Since the master is in a good mood, he should try to please him, so the housekeeper walked outside the sedan chair and asked softly, "My lord seems to be in a good mood today, but what happy things happened?"

Through the curtain of the sedan chair, an old laughter came from inside: "Your Majesty is becoming more and more suspicious of the Lu family, and the hard work I have done these days is not in vain."

When the butler heard this, he immediately smiled: "Congratulations, my lord. From this point of view, His Majesty still trusts you more."

"It's just that Your Majesty still listens to Yan Shao's words. When the old man solves the Dingyuanhou family, the Yan family will be next." Han Qing said with great determination.

When they arrived at the Han Mansion, the butler helped Han Qing get off the sedan chair, followed by seven or eight attendants, and Han Qing walked slowly towards the mansion.Back in the house, the servant brought tea, Han Qing held the teacup and said calmly: "The Mishensan, is there still in the mansion?"

Upon hearing this, the butler said, "The little one bought it from a merchant in Mobei a few years ago, and there are not many left now. If the adults need it, the little one will find some more."

Han Qing took a sip of tea and said, "This fascination distracts people's minds and makes people suspicious and dreamy. I used it for your majesty for a few days, and the effect is very good. You can get some more for emergencies. "

The butler hurriedly agreed: "Yes. It's just that I heard from the Mobei businessman that taking this Mishen Powder for a long time will hurt the body, and in severe cases, it will also affect the life span. My lord..."

"It's okay." Han Qing's face darkened. "I know it well. Your Majesty is still listening to me now, and you have no heirs. How can you let your majesty rule Bintian so quickly?"

The butler nodded resentfully, and quickly said yes.

"There is one more thing to tell you, which is very important." Han Qing said in a deep voice. "You send a few dead men with high martial arts skills to deal with this matter. Tell them clearly that if things are done, it's over. If things don't work out, they will commit suicide. I will take good care of their families."

The housekeeper asked cautiously: "I have written it down. Dare I ask what the adults want them to do?"

Han Qing's long and narrow eyes narrowed, and his expression was filled with infinite evil: "Your Majesty has ordered Lu Zheyu to return to Yecheng, and the imperial decree has been sent to Lizhou in a hurry."

The butler bent over and listened carefully, lest he miss a word.

Han Qing lowered her voice and whispered in his ear, but the housekeeper hurriedly listened and nodded in agreement.

……

Another month passed, and before one knew it, Ye City had already arrived in late autumn.After several autumn rains, the weather gradually turned cooler, and the pond in the imperial garden was left with only a piece of dead leaves and remnants of lotus.

The palace maid walked into Bixiao Palace with a tray containing medicine bowls, and was picked up by Yu Deye, who carefully placed it on the table.

"Your Majesty, it's time to take some medicine." Yu Deye said softly.

Emperor Chongde coughed a few times, but didn't move, his eyes still fell on the folder in his hand.

Yu Deye sighed silently, and said: "The temperature has been dropping for the past few days, and your majesty's cold has never improved. The imperial physician has said that your majesty needs to use natural medicines to recuperate."

Emperor Chongde put down the notebook, turned his head to look at the pitch-black soup in the bowl, and said indifferently: "I didn't catch the wind and cold because of the cold weather."

Yu Deye said: "The imperial doctor said that His Majesty is usually too tired and worried."

Emperor Chongde picked up the medicine bowl, held the spoon in the other hand, took a sip, but was so bitter that he frowned, he simply took the bowl and poured it all into his mouth, Yu Deye hurriedly fetched the handkerchief, Chongde Di frowned and put down the medicine bowl, took a handkerchief and hastily wiped the residual liquid from the corners of his mouth.

"Is there any news about Lu Zheyu?" Emperor Chongde asked in a deep voice.

Yu Deye was startled, and said, "I haven't heard of it yet."

"It's been a month, and the edict should have been sent to Shuozhou long ago!"

Emperor Chongde's voice obviously increased by three points. Yu Deye was startled, thought for a moment and hurriedly said: "Perhaps these days happen to be the rainy season, the road is difficult, and the post soldiers are delayed on the road. Besides, General Lu received When the imperial decree arrives, it will take some time to send news from Lizhou to return to Yecheng, so don’t worry, Your Majesty.”

Emperor Chongde coughed heavily again, the soup just now was really unpalatable, this sudden cough almost spit out all the medicine he just drank.Yu Deye was terrified, and hurriedly patted someone on the back.

"Your Majesty... Is Your Majesty all right? Do you need this old servant to send the imperial physician to see?"

Emperor Chongde coughed so hard that he couldn't even speak. He squeezed the veil tightly and covered his mouth with it, followed by a tearing cough, and the bright red on the veil was smeared. Yu Deye was startled and shouted: " Come, come! Come, come! Send the imperial doctor!"

Emperor Chongde coughed and said intermittently: "Study ink for me... I... want to draw up a decree... Give me eight hundred miles to expedite... send it to Lizhou..."

……

After drinking the medicine, Emperor Chongde fell asleep.Yu Deye stayed outside the hall, lest His Majesty would cough again in the middle of the night.

Sure enough, there was a coughing sound in the room, and Yu Deye hurried into the room, only to see Emperor Chongde sitting on the bed with a very bad expression on his face.

"How does Your Majesty feel now?" Yu Deye stepped forward and asked with concern.

Emperor Chongde closed his eyes and did not answer, but instead asked: "Have the imperial edicts been sent out?"

Yu Deye quickly responded: "According to His Majesty's order, this old slave has sent someone to expedite the imperial edict to Lizhou for [-] miles."

Emperor Chongde finally felt slightly relieved, and said weakly: "That's good... that's good..."

Yu Deye was really worried, and said again: "The imperial doctor said that His Majesty's body is fine at this age, but overthinking will hurt his body, so His Majesty needs to rest well."

"The Zhezi I sent to Lizhou has never responded. What does this mean?" Emperor Chongde sighed softly, and said weakly, "Then Lu Zheyu may already have a rebellious heart."

Yu Deye was shocked, and said: "But this is just your Majesty's guess, maybe General Lu is already on his way back to Yecheng?"

"You don't have to speak for him. The imperial edict has been sent, and it depends on whether he can prove his innocence." Emperor Chongde lay on the couch and closed his eyes. "Go down, I'm tired."

……

Early in the morning before dawn, Chu Heng got up and came to Yan Lingjun's bedroom. Seeing that there was not much charcoal left in the charcoal basin in the room, he replaced it with new silver bone charcoal.

At the beginning of autumn, Yan Lingjun caught a cold again, took medicine for seven or eight days, and became groggy for several days in a row.His condition had just improved, but Yecheng had cooled down again, so he had to stay in the house every day.Yan Shao sued the Imperial Academy for leave for him, and sent people to Yan's residence for all official documents.

On this day, the people from the Hanlin Academy had just delivered the official document. Chu Heng put it on the table, but heard a rustling sound from the bed behind the screen. Chu Heng turned around and walked behind the screen. Zhang asked: "Are you awake?"

Yan Lingjun said softly, "I'll just change my own clothes."

Chu Heng nodded, and handed the clean inner garment that Fangcai sent to the bed curtain.A slender hand stretched out between the two bed curtains, took the clothes over, and Chu Heng turned around and walked out of the screen.

After a while, Yan Lingjun had already put on his clothes and came out. Chu Heng just came in with a copper basin filled with warm water, and put it on the basin stand.Yan Lingjun walked over to wash up briefly, Chu Heng handed over a clean handkerchief, Yan Lingjun wiped his face, Chu Heng took back the handkerchief, and went out with a copper basin to pour water.After a while, he came in with a food box and placed several dishes of breakfast on the table one by one.

Yan Lingjun sat at the table, closed his eyes and said softly, "You don't have to do this for me."

Chu Heng said indifferently: "Since I have come to the Yan Mansion as an errand, I can't just take the moon silver and do nothing."

Yan Lingjun was silent for a moment, then said: "Sit down and have a meal together, you don't have to stand there like a servant girl."

"I've already eaten." Chu Heng said. "I don't want to be your maid either."

"Then what are you doing now?" Yan Lingjun turned cold.

Chu Heng said: "Your Highness threw me to Mr. Lu, and Mr. Lu threw me to Yan's mansion, and asked me to take care of you. If Mr. Yan thinks that I have not served you well, just throw me elsewhere."

Yan Lingjun frowned, and looked coldly: "I'm naturally happy that you didn't go back to Chu with your highness. But since you stayed in the Yan residence, you should abide by my rules."

Chu Heng looked at him calmly: "What are your rules? I can only stay outside your door at night? You have a fever in the middle of the night and I can't do anything except go to the doctor. You are soaked in cold sweat. I will help you change it." Even clothes?"

Yan Lingjun raised his eyes to stare at him, and said coldly: "You are willing to do the job of serving others, I won't say anything. But do you still want to serve on the bed? Lu Zheyu also ordered you like this?"
