It turns out that I too have been robbed.

At Maoshi, Pei Ruzhou and his party returned to Guijin Palace.

Now is the time when the day is repairing and the night is short, and the distant sky has turned pale.

At this time, not only the imperial doctor but also the queen mother were waiting for Pei Ruzhou in Guijin Palace.

The old queen stopped and stopped all the way, and she just arrived at the palace yesterday.She hadn't had a long rest when she heard the news of Pei Ruzhou and Qi Yunyao's accident, and rushed here without stopping.

When the Empress Dowager was young, she was a formidable figure who fought with Gaozu in the north and south.But in front of her grandchildren, at nearly eighty years old, she is just an ordinary old man.

The paralyzing effect of the snake venom had not completely dissipated, and Pei Ruzhou fell asleep again in the second half of the journey.

Half asleep and half awake, he heard the queen mother sternly say: "Lao Qi, your father has always let you go, you can just be self-willed in the palace! How dare you act recklessly in Huiyan Mountain hunting ground now, your life is so precious!" It was exchanged for the day!"

After finishing speaking, she was furious and hit the ground a few times hard with a crutch carved from boxwood.

The surrounding imperial doctors spoke one after another, reminding the queen mother to pay attention not to get angry, and the surroundings suddenly became chaotic.

Hearing this, Pei Ruzhou also wanted to speak to calm down the Empress Dowager, but he was so dazed that he still didn't have the energy to make a sound.

Qi Yunyao still didn't speak, Pei Ruzhou guessed that he was probably crying again.

He didn't know what was going on, but he didn't realize until now that Qi Yunyao loves to cry so much.

There was silence in Pei Ruzhou's ears for a while.

The Empress Dowager finally sighed, and said in a deep voice: "...you really should have a long memory. In the next few days, you will stay here honestly. Copy the "Imperial Law" a hundred times! If you can't finish it, You are not allowed to go anywhere.”

The "Imperial Law" mentioned by the Queen Mother is the code of conduct for the children of the royal family. An article has several thousand words, and copying it a hundred times is definitely a big project.

Pei Ruzhou was a little worried, what if Qi Yunyao was unconvinced and contradicted the Queen Mother?

But unexpectedly, Qi Yunyao obediently answered "Yes" this time.

Strange...why did the brat suddenly become so obedient?

Pei Ruzhou didn't have time to figure it out, so he fell asleep again in a daze.

……

This time, he slept for a full day.

At night, Pei Ruzhou was woken up by the imperial physician who came to deliver the medicine.

He rubbed his eyes and sat up with Cong Tao's support.

In fact, after the blood clot was coughed out, Pei Ruzhou didn't feel anything other than a little sleepy.However, he saw that the people around him looked at him, as if they were looking at some terminally ill patient.

Hiss, I'm really a little... terrified.

"My lord, I need to take this pill once in the next half a month or so." The person who spoke was the envoy of the imperial hospital, and he brought up a wooden tray, his words and expression were full of resentment.

When Pei Ruzhou fell ill last time, he was the one who took care of him.

In the eyes of the imperial physician, the young man in front of him was like a peony still covered with dew in mid-spring.

He was glamorous and glamorous...but he suffered from this crime.

Seeing this, even Cong Tao turned her back and wiped away her tears quietly.

But unlike these two people, Pei Ruzhou's performance was exceptionally calm.

"Well, I know." After speaking, he picked up the brown pill and swallowed it directly into his stomach along with the water.

"My son, why are you..." Why do you look so indifferent, why are you so impulsive?

Cong Tao spoke halfway, and suddenly swallowed the rest... She shouldn't have asked.

How could Pei Ruzhou not care?

He is the one who hurts, and he will also be the one who will take medicine regularly in the future.How could he not care?

Pei Ruzhou knew what Cong Tao was thinking, but he just drank water quietly and didn't speak.

Qi Yunyao is a god who came to cross the catastrophe. If something happens to him, everyone in this world will suffer.At that time, I had no choice at all.

Besides, according to the Immortal of Jiuchongtian, helping Immortal Yaoan is also helping himself, his family and those soldiers who died at the border.

This decision was not impulsive, but something that Pei Ruzhou had seriously thought about. He was so calm that he couldn't be more calm.

As the saying goes, if you give up, you will gain.

It's not a loss or a loss to make this decision.

After taking the medicine, the imperial physician also left.

Pei Ruzhou handed the cup to Cong Tao, and suddenly remembered the words he heard when he was half asleep and half awake.

"By the way... Where is His Highness the Seventh Prince?" Pei Ruzhou couldn't help asking.

Taking the cup, Cong Tao said with some hesitation, "Uh, I'm copying a book."

Sure enough, what I heard was correct.

One hundred times of "The Law of the Emperor" is a bit much, but Pei Ruzhou thought, if Qi Yunyao, a brat like Qi Yunyao, can really restrain himself a little after copying, then it's not impossible.

He nodded, and suddenly heard Cong Taobu add: "Your Highness, he is... copying books outside."

ha?

As the founding queen of Dayi, the current queen mother is also a ruthless character.

What's more, unlike the emperor, she knew what happened back then, and although she treated everyone equally on the surface, she actually didn't like the youngest grandson.

"Outside?"

Pei Ruzhou really didn't expect that the "here" that the Queen Mother just said was his own yard?

He hurriedly sat up straight and looked out the window.

Under the moonlight, a stone table was placed in the empty yard.

Qi Yunyao just lay on the desk like this, copying the "Imperial Law" over and over again under the faint candlelight, looking very pitiful.

"It's so late, why isn't your highness going back?"

"The queen mother said that you can only go back after copying."

"This is impossible." Pei Ruzhou muttered, and then he lifted the quilt.

"Young master, be careful, you haven't recovered yet!" Cong Tao hurriedly reminded her, picked up the cloak from one side, and put it on Pei Ruzhou's body.

"It's all right, I've taken all the medicine." Pei Ruzhou waved his hand and said.

What he didn't tell Cong Tao was that yesterday's blood clot made him vaguely feel... From the last time he was sick to this time he was poisoned, it seems that some gods are really helping him?

Did they also see that Qi Yunyao was unreliable...

Pei Ruzhou didn't know what time it was, he could only see a waning moon hanging high in the sky not far away, it should have been late at night.

Guijin Palace is a summer resort, and the midsummer here is similar to the late spring in Fengcheng.It gets colder at night.Seeing Qi Yunyao in summer clothes lying alone on the stone table, Pei Ruzhou couldn't help slowing down, and softly called over there:

"Seventh Highness?"

"...Huh?" Qi Yunyao, who was extremely sleepy, was half a beat behind in reacting.

Seeing this, Pei Ruzhou pulled on his cloak and walked down slowly.

Qi Yunyao's life can be regarded as being saved by himself. If there is something wrong with the freeze, wouldn't his work be in vain?

Pei Ruzhou sighed, poked the other person's shoulder and said softly, "Your Highness, get up quickly, it's too cold here. Go to sleep in the room."

Now, Qi Yunyao finally woke up.

He rubbed his eyes, raised his eyes and said excitedly, "Ah Zhou? You woke up!"

"En." Pei Ruzhou nodded lightly, his face was extremely pale under the moonlight.

From the corner of his eye, Pei Ruzhou saw that Qi Yunyao's fingers were trembling slightly.

Is it too cold?

Following Pei Ruzhou's line of sight, Qi Yunyao also noticed the abnormality in his hand.He froze for a moment, then hid his hands in his sleeves as fast as he could.

The reason why Qi Yunyao's hands trembled was not because of the cold, but because he was afraid.

Fear enveloped Qi Yunyao like night, leaving him nowhere to hide.Qi Yunyao didn't dare to look into Pei Ruzhou's eyes, he was afraid that Pei Ruzhou would see through his guilty conscience and see through his sinister tricks...

Ah Zhou was sincere to me, but I caused him to lose half his life.

Qi Yunyao has always been self-centered, which of the maids and eunuchs who follow him has not been played by him?Even killing people, not without...

But he was only afraid that Pei Ruzhou would know the truth and that Pei Ruzhou would leave him.

He was even more afraid that he would know that the person he saved after losing half his life was a liar.

Liar - Thinking of these two words, Qi Yunyao's bones shuddered.

Seeing Qi Yunyao sitting still, Pei Ruzhou, who really thought that the other party was frozen, gently pulled the little prince's hand up.

"Stop sitting here, go to your room and have a good rest."

His tone was gentler than moonlight.

"Okay, okay." Qi Yunyao stood up holding the desk, his legs were as heavy as lead.

At the moment when he left the desk, Pei Ruzhou didn't see that there were not a few lines of the "Imperial Law" on the top piece of rice paper.

Qi Yunyao wrote "can't" all over the corners of the paper in small letters.

No, absolutely not let Ah Zhou know what he did behind his back.

……

The palace of Guijin Palace is not big, and there is only one bed inside.

Qi Yunyao, who was dragged into the room by Pei Ruzhou, paused for a moment, and very consciously walked towards the little Arhat couch by the window.

But before he could turn around, he was dragged back by Pei Ruzhou.

"Hey! What are you doing there? This bed is so big, the two of us can squeeze in."

After finishing speaking, the slightly cold Pei Ruzhou got into the bed directly, and gave Qi Yunyao a pillow.

Pei Ruzhou didn't know that Qi Yunyao had always slept alone since he was born.

Ru Zhou wants to sleep with me?

Qi Yunyao walked to the bed in a daze, struggled for a long time and finally lay down, his movements were as slow as a broken puppet.

He is not at all like the Seventh Prince in ordinary times.

While Qi Yunyao was lying straight on the bed, Pei Ruzhou suddenly got up, pulled up the quilt, gently covered him, and tucked in the corners of the quilt by the way.

At this moment, the distance between the two was infinitely close, and even Pei Ruzhou's long hair swept across Qi Yunyao's neck.

Itchy.

"Go to sleep, and continue copying in the daytime." Pei Ruzhou said softly, his voice was full of exhaustion.

The moonlight was all printed in those peach blossom eyes.The distance between the two was less than a punch.

Qi Yunyao's whole body tensed up suddenly, and he didn't dare to look into Pei Ruzhou's eyes.

"En." Qi Yunyao nodded blankly, approached quietly like a puppy, and rubbed Pei Ruzhou's arm.

The people around me were thinking wildly, and the drama in their hearts was being played out one after another.

But Pei Ruzhou didn't notice it at all.

With his eyes closed, he has important things to do.

Pei Ruzhou tried to slowly reverse the internal force.

If he guessed correctly, when he was in danger, a god would appear to rescue him.

...Pei Ruzhou wanted to gamble.

Time passed little by little, because of the retrograde internal force, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and even the snake venom showed signs of attack.

And at this moment, a figure who was meditating suddenly appeared in the originally pitch-black field of vision!

——The man was dressed in red and wore a ghost mask.All exposed skin is covered by golden runes.

What the hell!

How did I call him out?

In Dayi, even children of three or four years old know this person in front of them.

The Lord of the Netherworld, the legendary figure second only to the Heavenly Emperor!

"You want to come with me?"

"No no no no!"

Anyone but you!

Pei Ruzhou suddenly opened his eyes, and the next moment, the figure disappeared.

Looking at the familiar ceiling, he patted his chest hard while still in shock.

Never play dead again——Pei Ruzhou swears!

"Ah Zhou! What's wrong with you, Ah Zhou?"

"Seventh Highness?"

Only then did Pei Ruzhou realize that Qi Yunyao wasn't asleep either, so he smiled and said, "I'm fine, didn't I scare you just now?"

Seeing Pei Ruzhou smiling at him, Qi Yunyao's breathing finally stabilized slowly.But when he looked up again and saw Pei Ruzhou's pale face and the cold sweat on his forehead, his heart ached like being stabbed by a knife.

Ah Zhou slapped his chest and lungs hard just now... Is the snake venom coming back?

He is only a few months older than himself, not yet 17 years old.

In Dayi, adults are not considered adults until they are two years old.

But it is such a young man who is as old as himself, but he will be accompanied by pills for the rest of his life.Even if there is medicine, the pain is unbearable when it happens every month.

Once he was poisoned, he was in excruciating pain.

But Pei Ruzhou's future life will be forever entangled with snake venom.

forever?

What kind of concept is this, Qi Yunyao didn't even dare to think about it.

He even didn't dare to think that Pei Ruzhou's lifespan...would be shortened under the ravages of snake venom again and again?

Qi Yunyao couldn't help but gently hugged Pei Ruzhou's arm, as if by doing so, he could keep the people around him.

And Pei Ruzhou didn't push the other party away, just now he ruthlessly killed him, and even saw him on the side of the Lord of the Netherworld, and slowly closed his eyes while silently saying "Excuse me, Excuse me".

Seeing that the other party disappeared completely, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing him struggling to fall asleep, Qi Yunyao's heart ached again.

That night, the emperor sent someone back to Fengcheng to tell Princess Shuming about Pei Ruzhou.

Before dawn, Princess Shuming came to the palace with his youngest son in a carriage.

In this car, there is also a slightly fat servant girl sitting.At this time, she was holding the princess's hand tightly, saying "I'm sorry" over and over again.

After a while, when the youngest son fell asleep, Princess Shuming finally let out a long sigh and opened his tired eyes.

"Forget about Lu Ru, you're not to blame for this matter," the princess pressed her temple, paused for a while and suddenly asked, "This trip, do you... want to see him?"

The maid named Lu Ru bit her lip, she nodded first, then shook her head with great difficulty and said, "I...I just want to take a look at him from afar."

"Yeah." The princess stopped talking and closed her eyes again.

Lu Ru pursed her lips, reached out subconsciously, and touched the sachet on her waist.
