Tonight is bound to be a sleepless night...

After Duan Shiyu left Ji Zhai, he wanted to take Yu Chiyuan to go with him, but Yu Chiyuan still refused to leave for a long time.

Ji Qingyun had no choice but to shout: "Why don't you come down, it's really cold outside."

Yu Chiyuan still held resentment towards Ji Qingyun in his heart, but seeing Ji Qingyun's injuries, he felt guilty again, and said, "No, I'll just stay here, it's fine."

The two sides were silent for a moment, Ji Qingyun felt the cool wind blowing, and said: "Come down, I have something to say to you."

"Oh." Yu Chiyuan said: "You told me to go down, I didn't come to see you specially."

Ji Qingyun sighed and said, "Yes, I begged you."

Yu Chiyuan closed the tiles, jumped off the roof, opened the door and entered the house.But he refused to approach, leaning against the door with his generous back, looking at Ji Qingyun.When he looked closer, he realized the severity of Ji Qingyun's injuries.

Yu Chiyuan was afraid for a while, if he didn't stop at that time, Ji Qingyun would have to be beaten to death by him.Cold sweat dripped from his forehead.

Ji Qingyun turned his head to the side, saw Yu Chiyuan fidgeting, sneered, and asked, "Do you regret it?"

Yu Chiyuan said stubbornly: "I regret, I regret not killing you."

Ji Qingyun said: "That's just right, there is no one now, and I am unarmed, come and kill me."

Yu Chiyuan really approached and stood by the bed, but he didn't have the heart to do anything, he just sat on the edge of the kang and said, "It's a disgrace to kill an unarmed scholar."

Ji Qingyun snorted coldly: "The day you whipped me, I carried a sword with a knife??"

"..." Yu Chiyuan was choked speechless, and hung his head.

Ji Qingyun asked: "Then Wu Xing'er is really going to die, did you really kill me?"

Mentioning Wu Xing'er, Yu Chiyuan gritted his teeth, his face turned livid, and said, "I know, I can't blame you for this, but Xing'er is innocent."

Ji Qingyun couldn't help feeling disappointed, he sighed, and said, "Apply some medicine for me, and you can go back after applying it, I want to rest."

"Oh." Yu Chiyuan took the medicine bottle that Ji Qingyun handed over, and sprinkled some medicine powder on the wound on Ji Qingyun's back.

Ji Qingyun tensed his nerves and hissed in pain from time to time.

Yu Chiyuan licked his lips and asked, "Aren't you angry with me?"

Ji Qingyun said: "Have you ever seen someone angry with a pig?"

"..." Yu Chiyuan listened to Ji Qingyun's attitude and knew that Ji Qingyun was still angry, but Ji Qingyun didn't get angry with him.On the contrary, Yu Chiyuan felt that he had gone too far, and he was more careful in spreading the medicine.

Ji Qingyun felt that he moved cautiously, closed his eyes contentedly, and unconsciously felt a little sleepy.

"I said..." Yu Chiyuan suddenly said, "On the ass, do it yourself."

"I can't reach it." Ji Qingyun opened his eyes, looked back, and saw Yu Chiyuan with two lines of nosebleeds and his face was flushed.

East Palace Prince's Mansion

It was late at night, and the capital was already as quiet as water, but there were bursts of warblers and swallows in the East Palace.

The drunken crown prince Duan Chenliang was surrounded by charming dancers, he then grabbed a handful of winter melon seeds, stuffed them into the mouth of a dancer, and said with a smile, "Come on, come on, let's go to bed tonight."

The princess looked out from behind the screen, touched her swollen belly, turned around and was helped into the inner room by the maid.

……

Wu Wangfu

Wu Wangfu is located in the Guangming Square on the south side adjacent to the imperial palace.Wu Wang Duan Nanxing had already fallen asleep, and broke into Wu Wangfu alone.King Wu was woken up by the servants, heard the name of the visitor, put on a fox white fur and hurried to the front hall.

It was Song Xuanli, the imperial historian, who broke into Wu Wangfu.Song Xuanli was short and fat, with a dark and yellow complexion, and a pair of splayed eyebrows always made him look like a good old man.

Seeing that it was Song Xuanli who came, the prince felt an ominous premonition, and hurriedly asked, "Master Sikong, it's so late, what's the matter?"

"A good thing!" Song Xuanli clapped his hands, paused his speech, thought for a while, and said, "It's not all a good thing!"

"Oh?" King Wu beckoned, asked the servant to make a cup of tea for Song Xuanli, pulled him to sit down, and asked, "What's the matter? Come and listen."

Song Xuanli came in a hurry, he wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, and said: "Tomorrow in Yanqing Palace, the emperor will choose an assistant minister for the crown prince, King Wu knows."

King Wu nodded and looked at Song Xuanli suspiciously.This matter has nothing to do with him, but Song Xuanli came to mention this matter in the middle of the night, so there must be some changes.

Song Xuanli took a sip of tea and said, "This is to select ministers for the prince, but I heard that all the princes must be present tomorrow."

King Wu frowned and asked, "What's your father's intention?"

"It's not what His Majesty meant." Song Xuanli said, "It's what the Empress Dowager meant."

King Wu's eyes lit up suddenly, and he said, "Quickly, tell me in detail."

Song Xuanli said: "I heard that those assistant ministers who discussed politics were big Confucians hired by Lord Qi with a lot of money. This Lord Qi has always been a businessman, and King Wu also knew it. He said that he spent such a large sum of money just to give the prince alone It’s a good deal, so I ask the princes to go tomorrow, and it’s like spending money to teach the princes a big lesson.”

King Wu hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Father agrees?"

"Your Majesty doesn't agree." Song Xuanli said: "In addition to the great Confucianism, there is Jing Daozi who is the most respected by the Queen Mother. Jing Daozi has been preaching the learning of Huang Lao, which is in line with the Queen Mother's wishes. The Queen Mother also wants to see it. , but the Empress Dowager is in the harem after all, if she went alone, wouldn't it be someone who would take the blame and say that she is in the harem for political affairs?"

King Wu thought for a while, his face beamed with joy, and he said, "That's just right."

Song Xuanli nodded and said: "The crown prince is ignorant, and the grand tutor can't help him. Tomorrow, King Wu must try his best to attract everyone's attention!"

"Hmm..." King Wu knocked on the table, feeling a little melancholy: "King Qi and King Yue are also here, they..."

Song Xuanli chuckled, stroked his mustache, and smiled triumphantly: "Forget about King Qi, he is doted on by the queen, his eyes have long grown on the top of his head, and he can say nonsense things, and King Yue is even less afraid. , he didn’t die last time, it’s his luck.”

King Wu bit his lower lip, his eyes were far-reaching.He thought for a long time and asked, "What do you know about King Yue's birth?"

Song Xuanli paused while holding the teacup, suddenly seemed to have thought of something, he put down the teacup, and said, "I have never had a chance to tell you about this, as you expected, that swindling guru and the prince are on the same side. , the matter of King Yue's birth must have been conspired by Imperial Concubine Fuling and him."

Upon hearing this, the King of Wu laughed grinningly and said, "Then why don't we use the same methods as others to deal with them?"

Song Xuanli thought for a while and said with a smile, "What good plan does King Wu have?"

King Wu didn't speak, he turned his head and hooked his fingers to Song Xuanli, leaning close to his ear.
