After wearing a sick and weak cannon fodder as a prince

Xiao Yu let go of the man in surprise: "Princess Yuan, how could it be you?"

Seeing that she had been discovered, Qin Yuan froze for a moment and said, "I... I'm here to find Xiao Xun..."

Xiao Yu frowned slightly after hearing what she said: "Axun usually has nothing to do with the princess, what is the princess looking for him for?"

After Qin Yuan heard this, she smiled awkwardly: "I...I just have something to do with him."

Xiao Yu frowned even more when he heard her say this, he thought that Qin Yuan's sudden arrival here must not be that simple.At this moment he asked again: "Since you have something to do with him, then the princess can come in directly through the main entrance, why is she so sneaky?"

After Qin Yuan heard this, she hurriedly went to Xiao Yu and said sincerely: "By the way, Brother Xiao, I came out without telling those people in the palace, so please don't tell this matter! "

Xiao Yu looked at her: "So, that's why you sneaked in?"

Qin Yuan nodded her head slightly after hearing his question: "Well... brother Xiao, can you let me see Xiao Xun alone now?"

After hearing what she said, Xiao Yu glanced at the courtyard.Axun should be in the mansion today.But how did she know Axun as a princess?

Xiao Yu froze for a moment, then said: "Come with me."

After speaking, Qin Yuan happily followed Xiao Yu in.

***

Xiao Yu led Qin Yuan to Xiao Xun's room. He saw that the door of Xiao Xun's room was lit, so he turned to Qin Yuan and said, "Ah Xun is inside."

After Qin Yuan heard this, she laughed quickly: "Thank you brother Xiao!"

Just when she was about to go in, Xiao Yu suddenly stopped her again: "Oh, wait a minute!"

Qin Yuan stopped when she heard him calling her, and she turned to look at him: "Well, is there anything else?"

Xiao Yu said at this moment: "Princess, it's not good for you to enter Axun's room in our house alone in the middle of the night?"

Qin Yuan smiled: "There's nothing wrong with it, and brother Xiao doesn't tell outsiders what happened today, so no one will know."

Xiao Yu froze for a moment after hearing what she said, but now she didn't know what to say.And at this moment, he asked again: "How did you meet Axun?"

After hearing Xiao Yu's question, Qin Yuan faltered and replied: "Well... I, it was just a chance, I have urgent business to find him tonight, brother Xiao please don't tell anyone, even the emperor brother You can't say it, can you?"

Xiao Yu smiled after hearing what she said: "Since I promised you, I won't utter a single word to the outside world, so don't worry, Princess."

After finishing speaking, Qin Yuan also smiled and entered Xiao Xun's room.

***

Although Xiao Xun is still a little young now, a child of his age should have been engaged long ago.Now that Princess Yuan is on the cusp, some courtiers have already talked about marriage.Qin Yuan is the only married woman of the right age, and she must be very anxious at the moment.

Xiao Yu knew his nephew's temper, if he was not familiar with him, he would not easily let him in.Looking at his posture, Xiao Yu was already familiar with Qin Yuan, otherwise Qin Yuan would not have come in so proficiently.

And at this moment, an idea suddenly flashed in Xiao Yu's mind - if Axun married the princess of Chu, then no matter what happened in the future, Qin Xuechuan would look at the princess's face and go online to save her.

It's not that he doesn't believe in Qin Xuechuan, it's just that being with you is like being with a tiger...Qin Xuechuan's temperament seems to be becoming more and more difficult to figure out, Xiao Yu feels that now they are not as good as they were when they met when they were young, keeping a distance and wanting to be closer.

But recently, his suspicions have become more and more serious. He thinks that Qin Xuechuan probably can't do anything to him, right?

***

As soon as Xiao Yu entered the door, he was suddenly taken aback by the person behind him. He calmed down and took out the dagger on his waist and pointed it at the person's neck: "Who is it?"

As soon as the voice fell, the man said: "My son, it's me."

Xiao Yu put away the dagger after hearing the voice, and said with a serious face: "If you have nothing to do in the future, don't be like this. Stand behind me silently, otherwise I will accidentally hurt you."

When Guan Xuan heard what he said, he suddenly smiled: "The prince is worried about his subordinates."

Xiao Yu frowned slightly after hearing this: "Why did you come here in the middle of the night?"

After hearing what he said, Guan Xuan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty... I have looked through the medicines you brought out from the palace, and there are indeed some problems with those medicines..."

Xiao Yu was slightly taken aback when he heard it... At first, he just smelled something different from the medicine Qin Xuechuan drank, but he didn't expect that something really happened now. At this moment, he quickly asked: "What is it?"

Guan Xuan continued: "Drinking this medicine for a long time will make the body weak. With your majesty's body, I am afraid that within a few years..." He died.

Before he could say the next two words, Xiao Yu quickly said: "Okay, stop!"

Guan Xuan frowned after hearing his words: "Don't you want to know why someone wants to harm His Majesty? Should you tell Your Majesty the truth about this matter?"

Xiao Yu lowered his head and pondered for a while, then he looked at Guan Xuan and said, "Can't even the imperial physician find this kind of medicine?"

After Guan Xuan heard this, he suddenly laughed sarcastically: "It's not that the prince doesn't know that the things in the imperial hospital are either waste or useless. In the past, even His Majesty's poisoning disease could not be cured, so how can we find out?" Where do these things come from? And these things are mixed in the tonic and blended very well, if the son is not careful, I am afraid no one will find this."

Xiao Yu went to the table and sat down. He held his forehead as if he was having a headache: "Okay, I know all of this. This matter has not yet been settled, and no one other than you and me is allowed to know. If you want to enter the palace, you can tell Axun to be more careful."

Guan Xuan nodded quickly after hearing what he said: "This subordinate understands, if this is the case, then I won't disturb the rest of the prince, and I will step down first."

***

After Guan Xuan left, Xiao Yu began to think about that matter again... This Pei Xing was invited out from Lushan by Qin Xuechuan. Qin Xuechuan has always been very suspicious, and when he invited someone out, he would definitely investigate Pei Xing's life experience. .

Pei Xing has been by his side for so many years, and he doesn't know when he took the medicine... Moreover, Pei Xing deliberately provoked the relationship between him and Qin Xuechuan today, what is his purpose?

In short, Pei Xing is not an easy person, but to persuade Qin Xuechuan to deal with him, he still needs to show his fox tail. Xiao Yu couldn't sleep at night when he thought of this.

The next day, Xiao Yu waited for Qin Xuechuan to go to court and went to look for him.He heard that Qin Xuechuan discussed with his ministers today to go to the border between Yan and Chu to negotiate. Before that, he had already ordered the postman eight hundred miles to rush the letter to Yan, and the emperor of Yan also agreed.

Qin Xuechuan ordered people to prepare and set off in three days.

There was a lot of risk in this trip, and the emperor of Yan Kingdom agreed so readily, he might be planning something behind the scenes.

***

Just before noon, a cold wind suddenly blew outside, and the sky changed like this.

Afterwards, small snowflakes began to float between the sky and the earth.

Xiao Yu waited for a long time, and finally when Qin Xuechuan came in, the first question he asked was: "What's the matter today, I saw bruises under your eyes, but you didn't sleep well last night?"

The moment he came in, the cold wind also blew in, and Xiao Yu shivered. When he saw Qin Xuechuan, he got up and held his hand.But when he touched Qin Xuechuan's palm, he frowned slightly: "Why are your hands so cold?"

Qin Xuechuan froze for a moment: "Is there?"

Xiao Yu sighed helplessly after hearing what he said, and then he put Qin Xuechuan's hand into his arms: "Is it warm?"

Qin Xuechuan was taken aback for another moment, he looked back at the people following him, and those people retreated tactfully and closed the hall door by the way.

Qin Xuechuan turned around at this moment, he said with a smile: "Well, it's much warmer. I didn't feel cold when I got up this morning, and I didn't wear a piece of clothes, so I came back like this. But you, you haven't told me why you didn't sleep good?"

After hearing his words, Xiao Yu replied: "I just had a nightmare last night."

Xiao Yu hugged Qin Xuechuan at this moment, and he sat on the couch next to Qin Xuechuan, Qin Xuechuan stretched out a cool hand and touched his face: "What dream?"

Xiao Yu's eyes dodged, and he stammered and replied: "I...I dreamed...Suddenly one day we turned against each other, and I can't see you anymore..."

After Qin Xuechuan heard what he said, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth again: "Huh? You turned against each other, and you can't see me? Could it be that I lost and you killed me?"

Xiao Yu was startled when he heard this question from him. He looked at Qin Xuechuan, but Qin Xuechuan looked at him with a smile as if he was joking.

"Don't make such a joke, what I said is true..."

Xiao Yu is very confused at the moment, he is thinking about how to tell Pei Xing about it...

Qin Xuechuan saw that his expression was serious, and he looked very tired... Seeing this, he stopped messing around with Xiao Yu: "If you are tired, take a break."

After hearing what he said, Xiao Yu suddenly came back to his senses, and at this moment he remembered his purpose of coming here, and he turned his head to look at Qin Xuechuan again: "Are you still taking medicine these days?"

Qin Xuechuan nodded when he heard him ask this question: "That's right...Although I am the emperor of my country, my life is not good, and I don't know how long I can last with this body. And... I have no intention of marrying a wife, sir. Chu can’t have no successor, I’ve already thought about it, before I go to the Chu-Yan border this time, I’ll make my fifth younger brother the emperor’s younger brother, and after I die..."

Just when he was about to say this, Xiao Yu caught off guard and covered his mouth.At this moment Qin Xuechuan gave a little... because he saw that Xiao Yu's eyes were bloodshot.

He hadn't slept all night, but when he heard Qin Xuechuan say these words, he suddenly became angry. At this moment, he pressed Qin Xuechuan and held his hand tightly: "You can live a long life, so don't talk nonsense. And... now Lihuang Taidi will destabilize the court, this time you go to the border to negotiate peace, I will go with you."

Qin Xuechuan took his hand away after hearing what he said, and then he shook his head: "No...I don't want you to go this time."

Xiao Yu's eyes widened when he heard this, and he suddenly stood up and looked at Qin Xuechuan: "Why?!"

Seeing him standing up and questioning himself, Qin Xuechuan put his hands on his forehead and leaned against the soft pillow beside him: "I don't like to look up at others."

After hearing his words, Xiao Yu suddenly realized that what they were talking about now was about the monarch and his ministers.

And Qin Xuechuan is the king, he is the minister.

Xiao Yu knelt down and looked up at Qin Xuechuan: "Can you tell me why?"

Qin Xuechuan glanced at him with satisfaction at this moment, and then replied: "I hope you can stay in Fengdu this time and watch out for those who have different ideas on my behalf. This trip to the border to negotiate peace may be a 'Hongmen Banquet', and I cannot let you You go. It's not that we can't afford to fight in Dachu now, but we can't fight...Because of the severe drought this year, the people have not recuperated, if we fight this battle again, the people may suffer unspeakably."

At this moment, Xiao Yu suddenly sneered after hearing what he said: "Your Majesty is really a good emperor who loves the people like his own son."

Qin Xuechuan said again: "After all, I don't want to be a fool."

Xiao Yu looked up again at this moment, his gaze suddenly became cold and stubborn: "Sometimes I really wish you were a fool."

Qin Xuechuan suddenly came down from the collapse. He lowered his head and looked at Xiao Yu: "Funjun? What aspect does Aiqing refer to? If there is such a day, it should be because of Aiqing you."

Just when Qin Xuechuan wanted to touch his face, Xiao Yu suddenly turned his face away: "I don't have that ability, Your Majesty really flattered me."

When he said this, Qin Xuechuan's expression changed, and he suddenly knelt down and looked at Xiao Yu's gaze: "A Yu, it's not that I don't allow you to go this time. It's just that in Fengdu City, the only person I trust the most is You are alone, so I believe that you will be able to defend the imperial city during my absence."

When Xiao Yu heard his words, he was suddenly shocked, and he opened his eyes wide again and looked at Qin Xuechuan in disbelief: "You... What did you call me just now?"

Qin Xuechuan suddenly hugged him: "Ayu, has anyone ever called you that?"

Xiao Yu couldn't resist the sudden tenderness, he also stretched out his hands and hugged Qin Xuechuan tightly: "Well...my elder brother used to call me that way, but he died early, and now I can't even see what he looks like." forget."

Qin Xuechuan looked at him again: "Are you talking about the father of your nephew last time?"

Xiao Yu took his hands and sat down on the couch, he replied: "Yes. If my elder brother hadn't died early, I would not be able to take the position of the heir apparent. Big brother's celestial beauty is far beyond mine."

Qin Xuechuan laughed a little after hearing him say this: "This is the first time I've heard you talk about your eldest brother, so you've always used him as a model?"

Xiao Yu suddenly lowered his head when he heard this... This is not the first time he said it, it's just that Qin Xuechuan didn't hear it last time.

"Well... maybe. Because some people are so good, even if they can't catch up later, sometimes I will get angry with my father, and I will not do what he asks me to do."

After hearing what he said, Qin Xuechuan suddenly stroked his temples tenderly: "From now on, you can do anything with me."

Hearing his words, Xiao Yu suddenly turned his head to look at him, and at this moment he saw the light suddenly brighten outside the window, at this moment he said a little excitedly: "Look, it's snowing."

Qin Xuechuan saw the snow outside, and he was stunned for a moment: "I didn't expect the snow to fall so early this year, it seems to be a heavy snow, but, can we leave smoothly in three days?"

After hearing what he said, Xiao Yu suddenly stepped forward and put his arms around his waist: "Let's talk about today's affairs today, why think about tomorrow?"

At this moment, the fire in the bedroom was burning brightly, Qin Xuechuan felt his cheeks were slightly hot, at this moment he hugged Xiao Yu with a smile: "A Yu, do you still remember the red plum blossoms in the East Palace?"

Xiao Yu nodded slightly after hearing this: "When you were there, you liked plum blossoms the most."

Qin Xuechuan asked again: "Are the plum blossoms over there now?"

Xiao Yu was slightly stunned: "I went to see it a few days ago, but there are flower buds, and they are probably all blooming now...how about I take you to see it?"

Qin Xuechuan raised his head suddenly when he heard this, and looked at Xiao Yu in great surprise: "Really? Is it really possible?"

"It's not difficult to go out of the palace." Xiao Yu suddenly smiled.

***

Sure enough, Xiao Yu also remembered how to get through the tunnels in the palace. He seemed to have memorized the intricate secret roads in Fengdu City long ago.

Qin Xuechuan was most afraid of the dark, so Xiao Yu carried him in front, and there were people holding lamps in front and behind.The two of them brought their own cronies, so no one would know that the emperor left the palace today.

Qin Xuechuan originally just wanted to test Xiao Yu again, but he didn't expect that Xiao Yu really took the secret path... At this moment, he whispered in Xiao Yu's ear: "A Yu, do you know the distribution of the secret path?"

Xiao Yu replied at this moment: "This secret road existed before the emperor ascended the throne. In the beginning, there was only one passage, which was from the palace to the outside of Fengdu City. I heard that it was preserved a long time ago. Even the Taizu I didn’t know it existed, but someone later dug 24 of them, leading to the main roads of various mansions, for the deceased emperor’s dead men to supervise those officials.”

Qin Xuechuan was taken aback when he heard what he said: "It turns out... the late emperor knew about it a long time ago."

After saying this, he turned around and asked Xiao Yu: "Since this is a royal secret, how did you know it?"

After hearing what he said, Xiao Yu knew that he was suspicious, and he smiled: "Axue, we have known each other for six years, do you still not trust me after all?"

Qin Xuechuan laughed: "I was just asking casually, why are you so caring?"

Xiao Yu answered him: "My father also participated in the construction of the secret road. At that time, he took out a picture and then burned it. I remembered the structure inside. That picture is the tunnel in Fengdu City. circuit diagram."

"You remember it after just one glance, my A Yu is really smart." Qin Xuechuan praised him behind his back.

Xiao Yu laughed a little after hearing this: "Your Majesty praises me like this, I am really ashamed."

"You deserve it."

***

After the gossip, they arrived at the East Palace.And the exit leading to the East Palace is not far from Qin Xuechuan's former bedroom... No wonder Xiao Yu would appear in front of him silently every time, it turned out to be like this.

Qin Xuechuan was stunned for a moment, then he suddenly sneezed, "Ah-"

Seeing this, Xiao Yu took off his coat and put it on him: "I'm the only one who is pampering you like this. My health is not good, and I ran out in heavy snow."

Qin Xuechuan suddenly looked up at him and smiled: "Yes, only you can indulge me like this."

***

In fact, there are also plum blossoms in the imperial palace, but the plum blossoms in the imperial palace are not as red as the few plum blossoms planted in the eastern palace.Qin Xuechuan likes to sit outside and watch the snow and plum blossoms when it is snowing and quiet.

Xiao Yu helped him move out the recliner that he had used before, and ordered someone to light a basket of silver charcoal and put it outside.The snow fell harder and harder, and the wind bells tied with red strings hung on the corners of the eaves were jingling by the cold wind.

In fact, in the homes of ordinary people in Dachu, there are no such wind bells hung by nobles on their eaves, but they like to hang red strings at the foot of their eaves.A long time ago, Da Chu stood in disorder, hung a red rope on the eaves, and tied another red rope to the wrists of those who traveled far away, hoping that they would return safely soon.

At this moment, Qin Xuechuan took out a length of red rope, he looked up at Xiao Yu: "Give me your hand."

Xiao Yu didn't think much after hearing it, he obediently handed over to Qin Xuechuan.At this time, Qin Xuechuan gently wrapped the red rope around his hands a few times, and finally tied a knot: "I gave this to you, don't lose it."

Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment when he saw him like this, and then he smiled slightly: "No, even if I lose myself, I won't lose it. If one day I die fighting for you, I will take it with me , as long as I see it, I will think of you, and I will come to you in the next life."

Qin Xuechuan frowned slightly after hearing what he said, and then he stretched out his hand and pinched Xiao Yu's face: "What did you say? Does this mean that even ghosts will not let me go?"

His attack was light, Xiao Yu didn't feel any pain, but it was the first time Qin Xuechuan treated him like a child.

At this moment, he smiled and bent down to look into Qin Xuechuan's eyes: "Well... no matter how long it takes, I will never let you go."

Qin Xuechuan chuckled lightly after hearing this, but at this moment his heart felt a little aching.Seeing that his face turned pale, Xiao Yu hurriedly stepped forward to support him: "Axue, what's wrong with you?"

Qin Xuechuan panted heavily, and he took a long time to recover, then he waved his hand at Xiao Yu: "I...I'm fine."

"How could it be okay, I saw you just now..."

Before he could say this, Qin Xuechuan blocked his mouth: "I said I'm fine, but I'm fine, it's just that I was in a trance just now."

Seeing him like this, Xiao Yu remembered his reason for coming to the palace not long ago: "Are you still drinking the medicine Pei Xing gave you?"

Qin Xuechuan frowned when he heard what he said, and looked at Xiao Yu with puzzled eyes: "When you came a few days ago, you said that there was something wrong with the medicine, and I stopped taking it after that, why? You found out what?"
