comeback [rebirth]

"Your Majesty's health has been poor recently, and he fainted in the hall just now because of his shortness of breath." The imperial doctor said, "Generally speaking, there is no serious problem. It's just that although the palace also prepares medicine, the environment is no better than inside the palace. It is better for His Majesty to return to the palace to rest as soon as possible."

"Thank you, Doctor Zhang." Cen Yuan nodded.

The sleeping hall has limited space, except for the imperial physician, there are only a few princes inside, and all the courtiers are waiting outside the hall.

Not long after sending the imperial physician away, Emperor Ning woke up, but his spirit was still a little weak.He glanced at Cen Yuan, and murmured, "Where's Zhaoyi?"

Everyone didn't know which Zhaoyi he was talking about, but Jiang Zhaoyi and Duan Zhaoyi rushed over in time after hearing that Emperor Ning had fainted in the hall, and waited outside the door, so after hearing what Emperor Ning said, they invited both of them into the hall Come.

"His Majesty!"

The two Zhaoyis rushed to the side of the couch. Emperor Ning glanced at him and stretched out his hand to Jiang Zhaoyi.The latter immediately stepped forward to wait on him and helped Emperor Ning get up.

Emperor Ning pointed to Cen Yuan, his voice was still weak: "Second brother, let your mother and concubine take a look, she just heard that you were assassinated and dropped the wine cup."

Jiang Zhaoyi was indeed very anxious, but because Emperor Ning was still lying down, she kept restraining herself, and did not dare to look at Cen Yuan until Emperor Ning agreed.

The latter simply reassured: "I'm fine, mother and concubine are at ease."

Jiang Zhaoyi nodded, looked at him again, and then turned his gaze back to Emperor Ning: "Your Majesty should also worry about your own body."

Duan Zhaoyi, who was separated from the side, looked indifferent, and she couldn't tell what she was thinking from the expression, as if she just answered according to the rules: "What my sister said is very true."

"It's just a lingering last breath." Emperor Ning sighed and asked again, "What did the imperial doctor say."

Cen Yuan said: "The imperial doctor said that you are out of breath, and you will be fine when you go back to the palace to rest for a while."

"En." Emperor Ning responded, turned his head and looked outside through the window, "Tell those people outside to go away, I will be upset by staying outside the door."

He then turned his gaze back to the princes in the room: "The second child was assassinated just now, go and rest for a while. Fifth child, make arrangements and return to the palace immediately."

Cen Yi has a straight temper, and when she heard the words, she said in a hurry: "Father, it's already the hour of the unitary hour, and you just woke up, why don't you go after a night of rest."

"Staying here, I don't feel well for a moment, why should I rest?"

"Father—" Cen Yi wanted to persuade him again, but his sleeve was pulled suddenly, he turned his head, and saw Cen Yuan shaking his head at him.

He fell silent for a moment, bowed his head to Emperor Ning and said, "I know."

"Okay." Emperor Ning waved his hand, the words paused for a moment, and then said: "Let Hengyu stay and talk with me, and you all go down too."

Hengyu is Jiang Zhaoyi's boudoir name.

Since Emperor Ning said so, the remaining people have no reason to stay.Not long after, everyone inside and outside the sleeping hall scattered like birds and beasts, and calm was restored.

Cen Yuan walked slowly, and when he stepped out of the palace door, there were not many people left, so he immediately saw Yan Xuan waiting at the door with Ge Ying, and raised his eyes as if he had sensed something the moment he came out.

He rubbed his fingers subconsciously, and turned his back: "Why are you still here?"

"Wait for you." Yan Xuan said.

"Little General." Cen Yuan shouted with a smile, "I'm not blind yet."

Sometimes, Cen Yuan always felt that Yan Xuan had some incomprehensible rigidity and persistence, for example, after he finished saying this, this person frowned again, and said solemnly: "Don't make such a joke. "

"Okay, okay, I got it." Cen Yuan waved his hand, and dismissed the topic very perfunctorily.

After the battle just now, Yan Xuan didn't seem to be affected in any way, maybe because of the dark blue he was wearing, he still looked neatly dressed.

But Cen Yuan obviously didn't have so much time to tidy up, his clothes were inevitably dirty from rolling on the grass, especially conspicuous on the white cloth.So he walked towards the side hall, ready to change clothes.

Yan Xuan immediately led the horse and followed.

Cen Yuan didn't ask him what's the matter, he patted Ge Ying's head.When this bloody BMW fell into his hands, it suddenly became without dignity and could only be bullied.

"By the way." Cen Yuan asked, "Did you see Lou Yuanbai? This damn kid doesn't know where he went."

"I'll let him go back to the side palace first." Yan Xuan seemed unwilling to talk more, "Your Majesty wants to go back to the palace?"

"Well." Cen Yuan said, "Back then, the elder brother was highly regarded by the emperor. After his death, the father's physical condition also plummeted. Today's incident inevitably brought back the memory of the elder brother, so he didn't want to spend more time in the palace. Wait, then I will be anxious just now."

Yan Xuan didn't say right or wrong, and didn't respond for a while.

Cen Yuan murmured, "What do you think of what happened in the hall just now?"

After walking for a long time, he didn't hear Yan Xuan's answer, so he stopped and turned his head to look.Seeing that Yan Xuan was also in the dark, the expression on his face was a bit complicated, and he immediately looked away when he saw him looking over.

"What's wrong?" Cen Yuan asked suspiciously.

"..." Yan Xuan pursed her lips, and asked back after a while, "Are you tired?"

He changed the topic so quickly that Cen Yuan didn't react for a while, and just let out a "ah?"

It was not until a while later that Yan Xuan followed him, and added: "You ride a horse, and I will lead it."

Hearing this, Cen Yuan subconsciously glanced at Ge Ying, and saw that the horse seemed to have a spirituality, and knew what suggestion his master had made, so he snorted dissatisfiedly.

"No need, it's not like I can't even walk these few steps." Cen Yuan finally realized what the other party said just now, then smiled and lowered his voice, approached the other party and whispered, "Little General, if you let me mount the horse, we One at a time, one at a time, talking from such a distance, wouldn't it be possible for the surrounding ears to hear what we were discussing."

However, as soon as the words came out of his mouth, he himself felt that something was wrong.

——In his previous life, he and Yan Xuan rarely analyzed the current chess game from the same standpoint as they do now.At first he was disdainful and unwilling to talk about it, but later he was unable to talk to Yan Xuan.

Because of this, now when he suddenly stands on the same side of the line as the other party, it feels a little strange.

He lowered his head and smiled self-deprecatingly, and was about to continue discussing with the other party, but at this moment, Yan Xuan said in a deep voice beside him: "If you don't want to, you don't have to force yourself to discuss these things."

Cen Yuan's footsteps stopped abruptly.

The palace occupies a vast area, and each palace road is extremely wide and lengthy, and it is impossible to see a corner of the side hall.The setting sun stepped across the indifferently standing palace wall, casting the shadow of the wall on him, but casting light on Yan Xuan.

After a while, Cen Yuan stepped forward again, and said with a soft smile, "Okay."

The walls are high, the road is long, and the end is far away...but at least he has light around him.

A few days later, the person in charge of hunting down the remnants of the Exian tribe followed the clues and found their hiding place.At the same time, what was captured was a letter.

The letter was sewn between the fabrics of a set of clothes. Except for a portrait of the second prince, it stated in the letter: "He" hopes to cooperate with the remaining Exian people and let them enter the White Deer Forest on the day of Xia Miao. Catch them in front of Emperor Ning, pretend to be incapable of protecting them, and help them avenge their hatred.The only condition is that after entering the White Deer Forest, they must first kill the second prince, Cen Yuan.

There was no inscription at the signing place, but a dried flower petal was found in the envelope.The petals were unique in shape, with one edge very neat, as if someone had cut it smoothly in the middle, but after investigation, it was learned that the flower was called Bansheng, and when it first bloomed, it was lanceolate like the other petals. It will break from it after two days and split in two.

Half-lived flowers grow in a harsh environment, and the conditions in the capital are not suitable for their growth. If someone wants them, they can only expect those merchants to bring processed dried flowers from the mainland further west.

Among the Northern Army, Xu Peng was famous for his love of flowers, and he especially liked to collect flower seeds that were not available in the capital.Anyone who knows him well knows that he just bought a half-life plant from a businessman not long ago.

In the Jingxing Hall, ambergris filled the air. Emperor Ning was wearing unlined clothes, half lying on the couch, twirling the petal between his fingers, and quietly listened to Tingwei's report.

He didn't ask any more questions, but said, "I will leave this matter to you for the time being."

Tingwei stepped forward to retrieve the letter and said, "Yes."

"Go back."

When Wei Ting retreated, Emperor Ning called again: "Rong Gao."

Eunuch Rong entered the hall after hearing the voice: "Your Majesty."

"Bring me a pen and ink."

After finishing speaking, Emperor Ning and others left, Fang got up from the couch and sat on the table where he played chess with Cen Yuan last time.

When Eunuch Rong came back with his pen and ink, he immediately put down the things in his hands and said, "Your Majesty, it's raining outside today, and the weather is cold. This old slave will change your clothes first."

Emperor Ning raised his hand and made a "no" gesture to him, signaling him to grind the ink.

Eunuch Rong didn't dare to presumptuously say too much, so he had to keep silent.

Emperor Ning leaned back in his chair, looked down at the movements of Eunuch Rong's hands, seemed to be answering, and also seemed to be talking to himself: "I know my body well."

"Your Majesty's blessings are equal to the sky, and he will surely enjoy a long life."

"Blessings equal the heavens, one has to be blessed to ascend to a position as high as the sky." Emperor Ning said in a daze, "It's no wonder he doesn't want this position on such a road that is surrounded by enemies."

Eunuch Rong only focused on studying ink, and didn't dare to speculate who this "he" was referring to, but even so, a figure appeared in his mind instantly.

After a while, he finished grinding the ink, and then stepped aside to wait.

Emperor Ning looked out the window at the rain that hadn't moved for a long time. Occasionally, thunder would fall, suddenly brightening the gray sky.

"In recent years, I feel more and more powerless." Emperor Ning finally said, "Rong Gao, you can write for me."

When Eunuch Rong heard the words, he immediately stepped forward: "What does Your Majesty want to write?"

Emperor Ning said: "Draw up an order for me."
