Li Zhang

Chapter 26 What Is Love?

In June in the south, sometimes the sun is scorching, and sometimes it rains like a torrential rain. The air is humid and hot.Li Zhang knelt on the spot for a day, and finally fainted.After the guard on duty found out, he didn't dare to deal with it without authorization, and reported it to Sima Yi himself.Only then did Sima Yi remember that seeing Li Zhang still had no regrets, he felt unhappy, so he asked the guards to move him into the gazebo to have a rest and eat, and then sent someone to ask again if he had reflected on himself.Li Zhang looked pale, but shook his head resolutely, staggered out of the gazebo, and knelt down again.

Sima Yi also fell ill after returning that day, Feng Yu took good care of him, and he was fine when he dispelled the cold and the fever, seeing Feng Yu's worried appearance, he took his hand softly and sighed: "Feng Yu Qing has devoted so much to this king, and this king is naturally grateful."

Feng Yu smiled softly, and sat down next to Sima Yi's hand.Sima Yi hugged Feng Yu's waist, bit her slender earlobe lightly, and said with a smile: "Feng Qing is getting more and more delicious."

Feng Yu shrank her shoulders timidly, smiled and hugged Sima Yi back, buried her head in his chest, listened to Sima Yi's strong and even heartbeat, and asked slightly coquettishly: "Feng Yu is only delicious?"

"Naturally, she is also very understanding."

Feng Yu stuck it tighter, and asked in a low voice, "How much space does Feng Yu occupy in Wang Ye's heart?"

Sima Yi's expression darkened and he didn't respond.He has always disliked concubine concubines and male attendants competing for favor and favor, and felt that everything should be controlled by himself, and it was the turn of others to lead the direction.And those who have been favored by themselves should be loyal to themselves.He is more willing to express his favor with material things, and he takes the other party's wholehearted return as a matter of course.

Ling Yuncong is a special case.Although the development of the matter seemed to be out of control, Sima Yi still felt that Ling Yuncong was still under his control.Because he believed that Ling Yuncong's departure was all because Ling Yuncong thought he had lost the ability to protect him, and he did not lose his ability to resist Sima Yao, so he did not lose the final dominance over Ling Yuncong.

Only Li Zhang is the one who is truly out of his control.He did change Li Zhang, but at the same time let him see the coldest and cruelest side of himself.He felt that such coercion should have the same deterrent effect, at least Li Zhang should be as afraid as he was at the beginning and dare not resist, but even this fear disappeared.You say you are afraid of yourself, but you resist yourself so directly. Why?

Sima Yi came up with a god.

Feng Yu was nestled in Sima Yi's arms, and before he could get the expected answer, he couldn't help pushing Sima Yi away aggrievedly and wanted to get up.

Sima Yi subconsciously stopped Feng Yu's movements, gently stroked his back, and asked thoughtfully, "Why is he not afraid of me all of a sudden?"

Feng Yu was full of displeasure, she pursed her lips and said, "I really thought I was an onion!"

Sima Yi heard his complaint, but he was not angry, hugged him fondly, lowered his head and pecked him: "Will Feng Qing be jealous?"

Feng Yu was vigilant, pretending to be ticklish and avoiding Sima Yi's smiling eyes, lowered his head and fiddled with Sima Yi's belt, dissatisfied: "My lord is still thinking about others, Feng Yu will naturally be sour."

Sima Yi laughed happily, no longer ignoring Feng Yu's aura, and proudly spread the masculine aura of possession everywhere.

Sima Yi coldly dismissed Li Zhang in Fengfeng Ruyi, since he was not familiar with domestication, he had decided not to waste his energy.He had more important things waiting to be done.

Two days later, the people sent by the prince arrived.Sima Yi accepted the order sternly, and boarded the chariot back to Beijing in a leisurely manner, just like when he came, with Feng Yu.He didn't want Li Zhang to follow him originally, but the bodyguard battalion is basically full of newly recruited bodyguards now, and there is really no one who can replace Li Zhang.Just before departure, he sent an order to temporarily remit Li Zhang's punishment and lead the team to accompany him.

Li Zhang knelt on his knees for two full days. During the two days, he only ate a little after he fainted last time. When the guards came to deliver the order, he was on the verge of fainting again.He was not surprised to hear the order, but he couldn't stand up no matter how hard he tried, so he could only be helped back to his residence. After washing and changing clothes, he closed his eyes and adjusted his breath for a while, and after eating some food, he was already to departure time.

The accompanying guards had already been arranged early in the morning, and the rules along the way had already been clearly instructed. Therefore, although there was no one in charge of the guard camp for two days, everything before the departure was still in order.When Li Zhang came out, the convoy and the guards were all ready. He made a slight signal and divided the guards into four groups. Together with the escort sent by Mi Zun, they set off to guard Sima Yi's carriage.Li Zhang himself got on the horse unsteadily, and followed with a tense spirit.

After camping at night, Sima Yi was still the same as last time, he did not enter the official camp, but set up camp in the wild by himself.Even though it was a long-established rule, Li Zhang insisted on checking it out before returning to his tent with a stiff and painful body. As soon as he stepped in, he fell to the ground in darkness.

Chen Wenguang and Guo Qirui, who lived with Li Zhang, hurried over. Because they didn't know the prince's intentions, they didn't dare to go to disturb him, so they went to invite the accompanying doctor, brought hot water as ordered, and helped him loosen his stiff and cramped muscles and joints.After taking the medicine and food, Li Zhang felt that there was no serious problem, and he didn't dare to push himself too hard. After asking Chen Wenguang and Guo Rui to pay attention to the situation in the camp, he fell asleep tiredly.

For the next few days, they ignored the urging of the imperial envoy, walked at sunrise, rested at sunset, and walked unhurriedly on the official road back to Beijing.

Li Zhang's body has suffered from illness since he was tortured that winter. Although he has practiced unremittingly since then, his weak physique has not been improved since childhood.Although he received Jin Yi's treatment during his recovery in Muyi Mountain, it didn't work for a while.This time he knelt for two days, and was exposed to the sun and rain. He had already had a fever, but because of the heavy responsibility, he did not dare to let go.

Over the past few years, apart from gradually getting used to Zhang Yu's care, he would not even show his weakness easily in front of Wu Zijun.This time he escorted Sima Yi with most of the new guards, and he was always alert even during the rest time.Within a few days, Li Zhang became pale and coughed continuously, and was completely sick. He finally passed out while riding a horse and fell off the horse, almost being seriously injured by the horse.

When Sima Yi heard about it, he scolded "trash" with a sullen face. After seeing Li Zhang with his own eyes, he was silent for a long time, and then turned the team to Muyi Mountain.

After Sima Yi killed Zhao Qinan, he specially exempted Miao Yi from one year's corvee. Jin Yi was no longer as indifferent to him as before, but he was not enthusiastic about him. Seeing him coming again, he was a little impatient.When he saw Li Zhang behind Sima Yi, his eyes widened.

"What's wrong with him? Although he is young, he can't stand such a torment!"

Sima Yi choked, he couldn't tell what it was like, he just felt annoyed, very annoyed!He kept a dark face and didn't say a word, just begged in vain, and walked to the pool to enjoy the shade on his own.He could not have come, but after all he felt unable to let go. Looking at Li Zhang's lifeless appearance, he hated and sighed in his heart, and there was even a faint pain that couldn't be driven away, making his heart tremble. I can't sleep well.

"Is the lord worried about Mr. Li?" Feng Yu approached gently and handed over the water bag.

Sima Yi took a few sips, sighed softly, and said, "Call him Guard Li."

"My lord?"

"Since he is so unwilling, it doesn't matter if this king is strong."

Feng Yu stared blankly at Sima Yi, as if she didn't know him.

Sima Yi laughed self-deprecatingly: "This is the first time I've met such a ignorant person in my life, and I'm helpless."

Feng Yu pursed her lips and muttered softly: "My lord's heart is too soft."

Sima Yi smiled unconsciously when he heard the words, and hugged Feng Yu with a smile: "When did Feng Qing steal honey? He can really talk!"

He naturally knows that he has never been a soft-hearted person, especially for Li Zhang.But Feng Yu's words made him feel that his heart, which had always been cold and hard, really softened a little, and the accompanying heaviness and astringency were also relieved by a third, and his mood relaxed accordingly.

"Let's camp here tonight. Li's guards won't be able to get back together for a while, so it's better for everyone to rest for a few days."

"The imperial envoy is still waiting at the foot of the mountain..."

"Let him wait! This king is not afraid of what tricks he will play!"

Fengyu had no choice but to send an order to set up camp, and then sent someone down the mountain to tell the imperial envoy that the prince had caught heat on the way and needed to rest for a few days before continuing on.Therefore, it was still in the border of Ningzhou, and the imperial envoys did not dare to move rashly. They could only rely on Sima Yi and live in the official inn by themselves, stretching their necks every day to wait for Sima Yi to go down the mountain.

In Jin Yi's hands, Li Zhang almost recovered after three days of recuperation.Zhiqing saw Li Zhang again by accident, saw him sick and haggard, heartbroken, and took care of him personally by serving soup and medicine. Seeing that he had no appetite, she went into the mountains to pick all kinds of fresh mushrooms at dusk, and cooperated with Jin Yi to fight back The pheasant stewed a pot of soup so fragrant that even Sima Yi couldn't help coming over to drink a bowl. While drinking, he praised Zhiqing's cooking skills better than the royal chef in the palace.

Zhiqing shyly tugged at the hem of her clothes, her childish face was shy and naive, and in Sima Yi's eyes she looked very fresh and charming, and she unconsciously moved her heart again.

"Miss Song, would you like to go to the capital with me?"

Zhiqing was stunned, then understood Sima Yi's meaning, glanced at Li Zhang who seemed a little nervous, and shook her head.

Sima Yi was also stunned, and took a closer look at Zhiqing, seeing her completely puzzled and delicate appearance, he also found it a little funny, glanced at Li Zhang who was sleeping with his eyes closed, and left the wooden house with a smile.

Li Zhang felt relieved.

Zhiqing went over to help Li Zhang up, brought the cold soup bowl, and was about to feed it, Li Zhang reached out to take the bowl and said, "I'll do it myself."

Zhiqing let go, watched Li Zhang drink the soup slowly, and said softly, "Just now Zhiqing really wanted to agree."

Li Zhang frowned, looked up at Zhiqing, and asked, "Do you like the prince?"

Zhiqing shook her head: "But, if you follow, you will be able to see brother from time to time!"

Li Zhang was stunned, then smiled wryly and knocked on Zhiqing's head: "Silly girl."

Zhiqing shrunk her neck mischievously, then supported her head and looked at Li Zhang with some distress, and said, "My brother always comes here when he is sick or injured. Zhiqing doesn't like this."

Li Zhang was dejected, but smiled and said to Zhiqing: "My sister has passed the age of Ji, and it's time to talk about marriage. When the golden doctor finds a good family for my sister, my sister should think about her husband."

"Zhiqing doesn't want to marry..."

"Why is this?"

"Zhiqing doesn't want to marry someone she's never met, like the eldest young master and the eldest young wife, who quarrel every day."

Li Zhang thought of his mother. Although he had no quarrel with his father, he was always neglected, so his mother was bullied in the courtyard.As for those aunts and aunts, in order to compete for favor, they tossed and tossed in a variety of ways every day, and they didn't see anyone whose father really took his heart out.He was used to seeing these things since he was a child. Although everyone said that his aunt and uncle were very affectionate, he had never met them in person.When he entered the palace, the inner courtyard seemed peaceful, but there were also thorns everywhere, and Sima Yi didn't know who he put his heart on more.He didn't want Zhiqing to become a lonely woman in the inner courtyard of the deep house every night, and he didn't know how to help her, so he changed the subject and asked: "Your sister has been following Jinshen's doctor?"

"Yeah! Uncle Jin also found the medical books written by Dad, Zhiqing wants to be a good doctor like Dad!"

"Good ambition!"

"But Zhiqing doesn't want to treat her brother's illness. Zhiqing wants her brother to be well from now on!"

Li Zhang couldn't help laughing at Zhiqing's foolishness, his heart was warm, but he deliberately teased her with a straight face: "Sister is so cruel!..."

"Why is she so cruel?" Jin Yi came back at some point, and when he heard Li Zhang's words, he stood by the door with an uncertain expression.

Both Li Zhang and Zhiqing didn't notice the difference, so Zhiqing went over to take the medicine basket from Jin Yi's hand, handed over a cloth towel for wiping sweat and a bamboo tube to hold water, and brought a bamboo chair and put it in a ventilated place by the door, inviting Jin Yi Good rest.Li Zhang also owed Jin Yi his hard work.

Jin Yi looked pale, looked at Zhiqing and then at Li Zhang, and said to Li Zhang: "Qing'er has been lonely since she was a child, and her life experience is bleak, you can't bully her."

Zhiqing didn't wait for Li Zhang to speak, and said coquettishly, "How could my brother bully Zhiqing in this way."

Li Zhang also agreed solemnly: "Li Zhang understands."

Jin Yi hesitated to speak, looking at the two people who were still ignorant, he felt that his internal injury was getting worse.He sighed helplessly, checked Li Zhang's pulse again, nodded and said, "It's much better. Qing'er's medicine is very suitable."

"Thank you, genius doctor and sister."

"Is your lord getting impatient with waiting? Qing'er prepares more medicine and let Guard Li take it on the way."

"Uncle! My brother's illness has not gone to the root, how can he leave!"

"The root of his illness was planted in the past, and it won't get rid of it for a while. Guard Li must have something important to do, otherwise the prince wouldn't come with him. Qing'er, don't be willful."

"But……"

"As long as Guard Li pays more attention in the future and avoids the cold, it should be fine."

"...Why does my brother suffer from the cold in this kind of solar term? Is there any other hidden disease? Uncle, please take a good look at it for my brother!"

"I'm afraid I can only ask Guard Li about this."

Jin Yi looked at Li Zhang deeply, expecting him to speak out about the entanglement with Sima Yi himself, so that Zhiqing could completely cut off possible thoughts.

Li Zhang was speechless, unwilling to speak or make up words, and silently tilted his head.

Zhiqing waited for a while, and saw that Li Zhang didn't want to mention it, so she smoothed things over and said, "Brother doesn't want to talk about it, that's all, Zhiqing just doesn't want brother to be hurt again..."

As Zhiqing spoke, she felt a little sad, which made Jin Yi unable to maintain his composure.He sighed, went into the back room and rummaged for a while, came out with a small porcelain bottle, and handed it to Li Zhang: "These are three return pills. It can last for a while."

Zhiqing was uncertain of surprises, fearing that the medicine would be used seriously, but also happy that the medicine could save Li Zhang's life in case it happened.

Li Zhang was about to resign, but seeing Jin Yi's dignified Zhiqing expression filled with sorrow and joy, he had no choice but to turn over and get down on the ground, kneeling respectfully to accept him: "Thank you, the genius doctor!"

Jin Yi took a closer look at Li Zhang, and saw that although he was still haggard, his brows were less depressed than when they first met, showing a very open and firm, giving people a hard feeling that cannot be ignored.Jin Yi's heart was moved. Although he couldn't guess what made Li Zhang change to this point, he also felt that such a Li Zhang couldn't be let go, and his love for Zhiqing became mixed.

The author has something to say:

Although there is a plan for the general trend in the future, the positioning of the characters is starting to be a little uncertain, so it may be updated a little later.
