Hand over the jade seal first [Infrastructure]

Xiao Zirong quickly understood what Liu Cainiang meant, he thought for a while and said: "I don't want to leave, I'll discuss it with the regent later, you don't think too much, I will arrange you well no matter what. "

In fact, Xiao Zirong knew in his heart that whether he wanted to leave would depend on Xiao Xuexing and Xiao Xuan. Xiao Xuexing seemed to want to take him away. As for Xiao Xuan...he didn't have much contact with Xiao Xuan. Just look at it.

While talking, the porridge with sweet-scented osmanthus core was ready. Xiao Zirong put the porridge into the porridge bowl with a cloth towel, covered it, and put a small amount of honey beside it. He picked up the tray and said, "Okay, don't think about it." So much, let’s talk about things in the future, go back to sleep, it’s easy to get wrinkles if you go to bed late.”

Liu Cainiang immediately covered her face. Although she was missing one eye, both men and women are very concerned about their appearance these days.

Xiao Zirong carried the porridge all the way to the study, and asked the guard at the door: "Is the regent still inside?"

Before the guard could reply, Xiao Xuexing said inside, "Run'er? Come in."

Xiao Zirong got used to his name, and the guard opened the door for him with a wink.

Xiao Zirong walked in and put the tray on the desk.

Xiao Xuexing could faintly smell the scent of sweet-scented osmanthus when he came over, looked up at Xiao Zirong and asked, "What is it?"

Xiao Zirong said: "Osmanthus fragrans porridge, put osmanthus cores and poria cocos in it, if you think it's tasteless, I brought a little honey, you can add some."

Xiao Xuexing looked up at him and asked, "You did it?"

Xiao Zirong was a little surprised: "How do you know?"

Xiao Xuexing chuckled, put down the pen in his hand and raised his hand to wipe his face, then showed him the hand that was stained with charcoal dust: "It's stained."

Xiao Zirong's face blushed immediately, and he wiped his face with his sleeves indiscriminately, thinking for a long time, just now he lighted the fire and everything was smooth, why did it still stick to his face?

Xiao Zirong wiped harder, and after just one wipe, there was a red mark on his face. Xiao Xuexing couldn't stand it anymore, grabbed his wrist, dragged him to his side, and then wiped his face carefully with the silk scarf for a moment.

After wiping, he raised his hand to pick up the bowl of porridge. Originally, he didn't expect much from this bowl of porridge, but for the sake of his younger brother's hard work to help him cook a bowl of porridge, no matter how unpalatable he was Drink it too.

But I didn't expect to find that this bowl of porridge was not bad after opening the lid, at least from the looks of it, there was nothing wrong with it, the brown rice was boiled to pulp, and the sweet-scented osmanthus core floating on it gave off a faint aroma.

Xiao Xuexing was not hungry at first, and even if he was hungry, he didn't want to eat. As long as he is a normal person, he probably has no interest in medicinal food. If he eats too much, he doesn't even have any expectations for eating.

Now this bowl of porridge has somewhat aroused his appetite.

Xiao Zirong at the side saw that the porridge seemed not so hot, so he poured a little honey into the porridge.

Honey and sweet-scented osmanthus are mixed into a sweet smell, which has a refreshing feeling.

Xiao Xuexing took two mouthfuls of porridge with a wooden spoon.

Xiao Zirong looked at the wooden spoon held by the other party's slender and white fingers, and felt that the wooden spoon was a bit of an eyesore.

Such a good-looking hand should be holding a golden spoon and a silver spoon, or even a porcelain spoon.

Xiao Xuexing didn't feel anything wrong, and now his whole body was appeased by this bowl of porridge.

Sweets can increase people's sense of pleasure, not to mention that Xiao Zirong made it himself.

But while drinking the porridge, Xiao Xuexing felt a little distressed, how much hardship had his younger brother suffered these days?

You have to know that even when he was hiding outside Tibet with Kang Ji, Kang Ji didn't let him do anything. It's not too much to say that his fingers don't touch the spring water, but it's only been a long time, and he has learned to be so proficient to cook porridge.

Xiao Xuexing felt more and more that Xiao Zirong could not be allowed to stay here to endure hardships, but he was worried that Xiao Zirong would not want to go with him, when the time came...should he be taken away by force?

When Xiao Xuexing was thinking about this, he suddenly heard Xiao Zirong say: "What should we do next?"

Xiao Xuexing asked casually: "Huh? What should I do?"

Xiao Zirong asked: "Do you want to tell Your Majesty after winning the battle?"

Xiao Xuexing felt that Xiao Zirong seemed to have something to say, put down the bowl, wiped his mouth and said, "Just say what you want to say."

Xiao Zirong hesitated for a moment before asking in a low voice, "Do you want to stay for a while?"

Xiao Xuexing was a little surprised, he was still thinking about how to take Xiao Zirong away, but the other party not only didn't want to leave but also wanted to keep him?

"why?"

Xiao Zirong scratched his chin and said, "I went to see a doctor today."

He didn't intend to hide this matter from Xiao Xuexing, and he probably couldn't hide it either. Both Ling Fu and the doctor belonged to Xiao Xuexing, and they seemed to respect him. It is estimated that Xiao Xuexing might explain it to him by asking him casually.

Xiao Xuexing didn't say anything, just quietly looked at Xiao Zirong and waited for him to continue.

Xiao Zirong said, "Just... I might... have a way to cure your illness."

Although Xiao Zirong was not sure what he said, when he said it, Xiao Xuexing still clenched his right hand into a fist irresistibly.

He quietly covered his hands under his sleeves and asked, "Maybe?"

Xiao Zirong said seriously: "It's not possible, but it will take a long time. Your disease just...needs a special medicine, but this kind of medicine is not available now. It needs to be made little by little, which is more troublesome. Before that I still need to take medicine to maintain it and prevent the condition from getting worse, but it will be fine when the medicine is ready!"

Xiao Xuexing looked at Xiao Zirong, his eyes were no longer gentle and indulgent as usual, but with some pressure, he wanted to confirm whether what Xiao Zirong said was true or not.

In fact, he has been able to accept his illness, and even the loss of life expectancy can be calmly accepted.

It's not that he has never been cynical, and he doesn't understand why his life is always so ups and downs, but later, both the imperial doctor in the palace and the doctor who followed him repeatedly warned him that anger would hurt his health, and he gradually accepted this fact .

Even just now in the study, he had already figured out how to arrange Xiao Zirong while processing the paperwork.

It's just that he can only do his best in the future, how much can he predict that the situation in the court will change?

As a result, his younger brother ran around outside, made a bowl of porridge and came back and told him that he had a way to heal himself.

Xiao Xuexing couldn't believe it, but the expression on Xiao Zirong's face was very serious, as if he was afraid that he wouldn't believe it, and said seriously: "Really, it just takes a little time."

When Xiao Zirong said this, he felt a little guilty. How much time is the so-called little time... He couldn't say it himself, because it really required a lot of things.

He needs to make things needed for antibiotics from scratch, and there may be many difficulties in the middle. If it was normal, Xiao Zirong might not choose to make this thing, but Xiao Xuexing's condition worsened because of him, and he couldn't do it. sit idly by.

Xiao Xuexing looked at him carefully for a while and found that Xiao Zirong's expression was very serious, so he believed that Xiao Zirong was not just saying it casually.

He pondered for a while and said: "Then I will set off for the state capital tomorrow."

"Ah?" Xiao Zirong asked: "What are you doing back to the state capital? Is there anything you didn't bring?"

"You have to take care of the Northern Wei Dynasty first." When Xiao Xuexing said this, his face was calm, but his whole body was full of evil spirits.

Xiao Zirong felt cold all over, and quickly said: "Don't be in a hurry, they are the first ones who can't sustain the Northern Wei Dynasty if they can't attack for a long time, not to mention it's useless if you beat them away, Zhongli, Nanzheng, and Yiyang It’s still going on, it’s not far from Nanyanzhou over there, what if you drive this wave away and they come back to help?”

Xiao Xuexing took a deep look at him: "How do you know that Wei Jun is in Zhongli, Nanzheng and Yiyang?"

This year is not the future. Whenever there is a disturbance in the armed forces of any place, someone will post it on the Internet, and it will not take long for everyone to know.

Now the common people who know about the war are already well-informed. Xiao Zirong has never been here before, and Yuan Jia, who traded with him, was not a powerful figure in the Northern Wei Dynasty. It is not bad to know that the Northern Wei Dynasty will send troops. As for where to attack? It was a military secret that Yuan Jia could not know.

Xiao Zirong was at a loss for a moment after hearing this, and then he remembered that he knew because it was written in historical materials, but according to his current personality, he probably didn't know.

His expression froze for a moment, and he could only say indiscriminately, "Guess...guess."

Xiao Xuexing laughed after hearing this, and changed his posture directly, looked at him with his elbows on the desk and raised his head and asked: "The guess is so accurate, it seems that Rong'er is very talented in marching formations."

After Xiao Zirong heard it, he didn't know for a while whether to admit it brazenly for the sake of character design, or to be humble.

But before he could be modest, Xiao Xuexing asked again: "Then tell me what they will do next?"

Xiao Zirong's face turned green after hearing this, and he deeply felt that he shouldn't talk too much. Seeing Xiao Xuexing's serious question, it seemed as if he was really discussing with him.

Xiao Zirong held back for a long time and said: "I don't know how the court will respond, and naturally I can't say what the other party will do next."

After he finished speaking, Xiao Xuexing took out a few documents very neatly and said, "Let's have a look."

Xiao Zirong didn't need to look at it to know that it must be related to the war, and quickly said: "Military and national affairs should not be discussed lightly, I still..."

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Xuexing interrupted him: "That's for those who are not qualified. You have to touch these things sooner or later."

After hearing this, Xiao Zirong was immediately dejected: "Can I not touch?"

Xiao Xuexing asked: "What do you want to do without contact? Do you want to stay here for the rest of your life?"

Xiao Zirong originally wanted to say that it was not impossible, but after looking at Xiao Xuexing's face, he said, "Isn't it possible? If not, then...just eat and die."

Xiao Xuexing almost laughed angrily at him: "Nonsense! You..."

He was about to say something, but suddenly stopped, and then continued after a pause: "It's not for you to worry about, it's just gossip, it's okay to have a look."

Xiao Zirong noticed the change in his attitude, and looked at him suspiciously: "Is there something you are hiding from me?"
