When Wen Xingyuan left, Gu Jinzhi didn't quite remember.

He drank half a jug of wine in the restaurant in a daze, only then did he think that he should return to the palace at this time, and walked back to the palace alone in the twilight like a wandering soul.

The evening wind in spring was still a bit cool, but he practiced martial arts for a while, but he didn't know it, and let the wind rush towards him.When he walked slowly to the gate of the palace fifteen minutes later, everyone in the palace was frightened.

"My lord! You are back!" The servant who was watching outside the mansion saw him and hurried forward to salute. After getting up, he watched his face cautiously.

The old butler saw that his expression was not right, so he went to help him personally, and when he touched his hand, he was startled, and hurriedly waved to the servant beside him: "My lord has a high fever! Quick! Quick! Take two people!" Go and call the doctor, and the two of you will take the prince back to the room, and I will go to the palace to ask for the doctor."

"No need..." Gu Jinzhi held back the old housekeeper who was about to leave.He was already in a trance from the fever, but the strength in his hands remained undiminished.Hold the butler's hand tightly like an iron hoop.

"Don't call the imperial doctor... go call Doctor Zhang..." He forcefully pushed away the two servants who came forward to help him, and ordered to himself.

Dr. Zhang is the official doctor of the palace, and in terms of medical skills, he is naturally inferior to the imperial doctor in the palace.But Gu Jinzhi is the master, and he has to obey his orders.

The old butler still wanted to step forward to persuade him, but seeing his prince's tough attitude, he hesitated for a moment, and asked someone to call for the doctor.He also followed behind Gu Jinzhi step by step, for fear that something might happen to him.

The palace is very big.There are many pavilions, terraces and pavilions, carved beams and painted buildings, rockeries, rocks, rocks, and colorful flowers and greenery.Even though it was dusk, the mansion was well lit and unusually bright.

Gu Jinzhi walked through a magnificent scene, but his heart was extremely calm.He and this scene seem to be incompatible.

He couldn't see the scenery on both sides of the road clearly, and he didn't know where his mind was flying.The head is groggy, and I can't listen to it.

When he arrived at his residence, he saw the word "Yuangui" on the plaque above from a distance. He was stunned for a moment, but then he stepped on the stairs without changing his face.

The old butler behind him sensed the master's pause at this moment, calmly beckoned to a servant waiting outside the hall, gave some soft orders, and that person left in a hurry.

Gu Jinzhi walked into the main entrance and found that there were already people waiting in the hall.Under the urging of the servants, the doctor Zhang arrived at the dormitory before Gu Jinzhi.

He staggered a few steps and sat down at the table next to the bed.He waved at the few people waiting at the side, and dismissed the servants who were waiting at the side, leaving only Doctor Zhang in the hall.

"Is there any prescription that can temporarily suppress the high fever?" His voice was a little hoarse, his throat was dry, but the question he asked made Doctor Zhang a little at a loss.

"My lord, this..." Zhang's doctor said in disbelief, "But after taking this medicine, it will recur after a few days. It should be cured so that it can be done once and for all. My lord—"

"I just want to ask if you have any." Gu Jinzhi interrupted him, his long eyebrows were slightly frowned, and his expression was a bit sharp.

"Yes, yes!" Doctor Zhang saw his expression, lowered his back even more, and said tremblingly.

Gu Jinzhi got the answer he wanted, and his expression eased a little. He was so powerless that he waved his hand, signaling him to back down.

"Since there is, let someone go get the medicine."

Doctor Zhang's whole body relaxed, and retreated quite eagerly.After leaving the main hall, he hurriedly asked someone to take the medicine, and personally supervised the servants to fry it.

Gu Jinzhi raised his right hand and rubbed the center of his brows wearily.Drowsiness struck, his hands slowly fell back to the table, and he fell asleep on the table drowsily.

In his sleep, he didn't seem to be very peaceful.He vaguely heard the sound of the palace door opening and closing, it was very soft, but he still heard it very clearly.

I wondered if the old man Zhang Xiang was getting older and more afraid of things.Not only did he have a minor illness, but he was so nervous that he wouldn't let anyone sleep peacefully in the middle of the night.

So he opened his eyes dimly, and in his thinking, he should be yelling with great momentum: "Go out! Are you letting people rest?"

But in the eyes of those who came, it was completely weak, like a weak beast whimpering and showing its sharp but unattractive minions.

With a light touch, it hit his heart.

"Heh -" Wen Xingyuan laughed lightly, looking at the still unconscious person lying on the table, he gently stroked the top of his hair as if smoothing his hair.Slowly and leisurely, he was coaxed into confusion again, and slowly fell asleep again.

After coaxing the man, Wen Xingyuan stretched out his hands, parted his black hair with one hand and wrapped it around his back, and wrapped the other arm around his legs, hugged him horizontally, and shook him lightly twice.

——Still heavy.

This man has practiced martial arts since he was a child, he looks thin, but his body is very strong.

The sleeping person seemed to notice something, turned his head slightly, rubbed his cheek against his chest, and buried his head into his neck as if feeling the heat from his body.The warm breath brushed through the roots of the hair, making it feel warm.

Wen Xingyuan shook his head amusedly, Ruyu's brows and eyes stretched, and he lowered his head and laughed: "After all these years, you're still the same?"

He tightened his arms, held the person more firmly, took two steps inside, and gently put the person on the collapsed floor.Carefully tucked up the bedding for the person to ensure that he would not catch a cold at night, so he got up and planned to leave.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the person sleeping soundly on the bed grabbed his sleeve tightly and yelled softly, the sound was almost silent.

He shouted: "A Yuan."

When Gu Jinzhi woke up the next day, it was already noon.Outside the window, the birds were chirping and twittering non-stop, and the dazzling sunlight fell through the open window and filled the room.It was almost on him.

My head is still a little dizzy, but compared to yesterday, it is much better.At least the consciousness is very clear, and it is no longer as strong as last night.

"Come on." He called out.The servants who were ready to serve outside the door immediately filed in, one after another, bringing the washing water, clothes, incense and accessories that had been prepared for him.Nothing happened today, yet she was dressed in a flamboyant red dress, eye-catching.

It was already a quarter of an hour after Gu Jinzhi took care of himself under the service of his servants.

As if he knew that he should wake up at this time, the old housekeeper who was holding the thick black soup entered the room and stood respectfully aside.

In an instant, a strong smell of medicinal herbs filled the entire dormitory.That smell is definitely not good.

Gu Jinzhi glanced at him, saw that he was hunched over, frowned indistinctly, and ordered: "The medicine is on hold, you find a place to stay by yourself."

The old butler agreed cheerfully, turned around and put down the medicine bowl, he couldn't hide the smile on his wrinkled face: "Yes, my lord."

"By the way," Gu Jinzhi asked him hesitantly, "Last night, were you the one who entered the bedroom?"

Last night, he vaguely noticed that someone had come in, but then he fell asleep again for some reason.Originally, he thought it was the housekeeper, so he subconsciously scolded him.

But no matter how the old man looked, he didn't look like someone who could move him to the collapse without him noticing... As for the old man's body, he might fall down before others helped him up.

Besides, the medicine came too soon...

"It wasn't an old slave last night, it was Mr. Wen." Zhang Xiang replied with a smile, and then he added, afraid that his lord might not have heard clearly, "Mr. You should wake up at that time, and personally arrange for someone to prepare it for you in advance according to the time."

"Hmph," Gu Jinzhi snorted softly, without asking who invited the butler Wen Xingyuan.The old man has done a lot of things without telling him, and this one is not bad.He just said awkwardly, "Mind your own business."

"Ah Qing." He casually pointed to someone close to him, and ordered: "Go to the storeroom and pick up two things, send them to the Wen residence, and say they are gifts from the king."

"Yes." Ah Qing is a small young man, he is a talker, but he is smart in his actions.He took the order and hurriedly withdrew.I wondered what kind of objects should I choose.

He has served the prince for many years and has some understanding of the relationship between the two.

The prince has been on good terms with Mr. Wen since childhood.Mr. Wen was also the companion of the prince when he was in the Taixue, and the two have always been inseparable.Last year, the two won the championship one after another, but they did not alienate each other. They are still as good as when they were young. They are very close.

But the prince's attitude today is somewhat unpredictable.If this ceremony is too light, Mr. Wen may not feel that the prince is despising him now.The etiquette is too heavy, and I am afraid that I will misunderstand the prince's mind.It has to be just right.

"It's hard..." He scratched his head in embarrassment, and walked out at a faster pace, but accidentally bumped into the person coming in front of him.

"Ouch—" The person who was hit staggered back a few steps, looked up and saw the person serving the prince, and suppressed the anger that had just started.respectfully said:

"The villain was in a hurry just now, and he didn't intend to offend."

"Nothing." Ah Qing waved his hand indifferently, it was his fault just now.

"Why so urgent?" he asked.

"It's a visitor." The man replied.

"Then I'll go in and report on your behalf." Unable to pick out this gift for a while, Ah Qing took a job for herself first.

"Who is the visitor?" he asked.

"The other party claims to be Shen Qiusheng, and seems to be the champion of this scientific examination."

Knowing who it was, Ah Qing quickly turned around and entered the hall to announce.After exiting, he went to the warehouse again, and then went to pick gifts.

After hearing Ah Qing's report, Gu Jinzhi wondered what the purpose of Shen Qiusheng's visit was at this time.He had never heard of this person before, and he had a glimpse at the restaurant yesterday, and he did not officially meet him.Picking this time to visit, I'm afraid nothing good will happen.

"Send someone to tell him that the king has other important matters recently, and ask him to come back in two days. When the king is free, he will entertain him in person." Gu Jinzhi ordered.

Last month, when he passed by "Mingcui Tower", he made fun of the beauties upstairs, causing the beauties to throw handkerchiefs from the fence, and the street was filled with fragrance.I don't know where the group of officials heard about this matter, but they all played together to impeach him the next day.

What "behavior is unrestrained", "harmful to the royal dignity", "shameless"... God knows where these old men come from so many taboos, one by one, some of them may not even obey them on weekdays, but they just keep going Put it on his head.

He is such an idle prince, they just want to transform him into a model of behavior in the royal family.

In his thinking, he should be full.But Brother Huang didn't know what was going on, so he dragged him and chanted for half a month, until he didn't dare to enter the palace for half a month.

It was just yesterday that the results of the palace examination were released, if you meet Shen Qiusheng today, if you don't get it right, one day the group of speakers will participate in him again, and the emperor will come to talk to him again, the loss outweighs the gain.

He had just escaped from brother Huang's nagging recently, and he didn't want to have a second time right away.

Saved from the trouble, Gu Jinzhi looked at the thick black concoction on the table and felt worried again.Forced to hold back his breath, he threw the spoon aside, held the bowl in both hands, and suffocated, his mouth was filled with a choking bitter taste, which made him cough twice, and his eyes were full of tears. tears.

From the corner of the eye, I caught a glimpse of a white brocade handkerchief stacked neatly in the tray, with a small piece bulging in the middle.He opened it without hesitation, and sure enough, he saw a small candied fruit lying in it.

Pick up the candied fruit and put it in your mouth, the slightest sweetness pervades, immediately overshadowing the bitterness of the medicine.

Gu Jinzhi sipped the candied fruit in his mouth, clicked his tongue lightly, and said in an unclear way: "I'm pretty good at picking."

"It smells like Sophora japonica."
