After I died, the sickly prince turned black

You Ziqing woke up from the fever in the afternoon, opened his eyes and saw Zhao Zhen sitting by the bed, his heart that had been worrying all night was finally relieved.

"His Highness is back?"

Just as You Ziqing was about to sit up, Zhao Zhen held him down.

"Lie down and don't move." Zhao Zhen touched You Ziqing's forehead, and eased his expression after confirming that the fever had subsided: "Aren't you thirsty? Would you like some water?"

You Ziqing smacked his lips and frowned, "I'm not thirsty, but my mouth is bitter and smells like medicine. What's wrong with me?"

"You have a fever, and your mouth is bitter because you have taken medicine." Zhao Zhen stood up and said, "Then I'll pour water for you to rinse your mouth."

Zhao Zhen poured water and sat back on the bed, helped You Ziqing to feed the water, waited for him to get rid of the bitter taste in his mouth, and then casually fed him a candied fruit.

"How's the matter?" Seeing that Zhao Zhen was about to get up, You Ziqing hurriedly grabbed his arm.

"Wu Zuo has proven his integrity, and it is indeed Zhao Ji. The emperor was very angry, and appointed Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment to assist the second brother in investigating this matter."

Zhao Zhen's eyes were bloodshot from staying up all night, but when he talked about it, he spoke in an ordinary tone.

You Ziqing looked at him: "What about Your Highness?"

"After all, I handled this matter. Now that something has gone wrong, it is inevitable that I will be suspected and investigated." Seeing You Ziqing frowning, Zhao Zhen stretched out his hand to smooth his brow: "Don't worry."

"The emperor punished you?" You Ziqing asked.

"Regardless of whether this matter has anything to do with me or not, a disadvantage in doing things is inevitable." Zhao Zhen disagreed: "I was reprimanded and grounded for two months."

"Although this is the case, the emperor directly let the second prince take over the case, which means that he has already suspected you."

You Ziqing's expression was very ugly: "The corpse is confirmed, His Highness, is it really Zhao Ji?"

"The corpse is badly decomposed. It's hard to tell if it's right or not. It can only be judged from the shape of the body. But we think it's not important. What matters is how the body is broken. If the body says yes, then he is." Zhao Zhen touched it You Ziqing's face, half hugged him in his arms.

"Zhao Ji is out of the game, so he no longer poses a threat. Unless there is a deep hatred, there is no need to kill them all."

You Ziqing leaned into Zhao Zhen's arms: "Then there are only two situations, either he cheated his death, or someone wanted to use Zhao Ji's death to harm His Highness, and planted His Highness by cutting grass and roots, it can be said to kill two birds with one stone."

"That's right." Zhao Zhen paused: "The specifics have already been investigated by someone, and there should be news soon."

You Ziqing nodded: "But the second prince has to prevent him from getting in the way. As for Mu and Zhang being upright officials, it's okay, but don't take it lightly."

The two were talking when Hu Chang walked in.

"Your Highness, the Third Prince is here."

The two looked at each other.

"Take him to the study and wait." After Zhao Zhen finished speaking, he got up and helped You Ziqing to lie down: "You have a good rest."

"Don't go to the study, let him come over." You Ziqing pulled Zhao Zhen back.

"But you..."

"I'm fine." You Ziqing sat up and looked at Hu Chang: "Bring the third prince here."

Zhao Zhen had no choice but to say, "Bring people here."

"Yes." Hu Chang left in response.

As soon as You Ziqing got dressed, Hu Chang walked in with Zhao Yan.

Logically, Zhao Yan should wait in the outer hall, but he rushed in anxiously. Seeing You Ziqing's gaze paused, he immediately looked at Zhao Zhen.

"Big brother..."

"Go outside and talk about it." Zhao Zhen interrupted Zhao Yan, pulled You Ziqing along and said, "Ziqing hasn't eaten yet, let the kitchen make some light food for delivery."

Zhao Yan: "..."

No matter what time it is, You Ziqing is still on his mind.

Seeing Zhao Zhen's attitude that he had nothing to do with himself, Zhao Yan sighed, it's true that the emperor is not in a hurry and the eunuchs are in a hurry.

After the three of them sat down in the outer hall, Zhao Yan finally had a sense of presence.

"Why are you here?" Zhao Zhen poured You Ziqing a glass of water.

Although he was asking Zhao Yan, his eyes were glued to You Ziqing's face, and he didn't even look at him.

"Isn't this what I heard about the sixth son, you were punished and grounded by the emperor because you didn't do things well?"

When it came to the business, Zhao Yan's face became more serious: "This is not right, the corpse is so rotten like that, whether it is the sixth child or not, but this situation is not vicious, I have already sent someone to investigate. And... I suspect that the sixth child is probably cheating on his death."

Hearing this, You Ziqing looked up at Zhao Yan: "How did the third prince see it?"

"Isn't that clear?" Zhao Yan said angrily, "It's the second brother and the fourth brother who are in the limelight now, pecking at each other like fighting cocks, fighting for the position of the crown prince. Pull the big brother out?"

You Ziqing and Zhao Zhen looked at each other and raised their eyebrows.

"Although the elder brother recovered from his illness, it is absolutely impossible for the father to let a prince who married a male wife inherit the throne. So, why did they bother to make enemies for themselves?"

Zhao Yan poured himself a glass and said, took a sip.

"On the other hand, it's the sixth son who is at odds with the elder brother. If he can get out of his shell and trick the elder brother, why not do it?"

Zhao Yan frowned: "The top priority is to find the sixth child. Unfortunately, the two guards who transported the body were killed by the emperor in a fit of anger. We can only start from other places."

"I've already asked people to investigate this matter, so don't meddle with it." Zhao Zhen raised his eyes, saw Hu Chang leading someone to bring the meal, and raised his chin: "Take some together, just drink two cup."

"Are you still in the mood for a drink or two?" Zhao Yan stared at Zhao Zhen, not knowing what to say.

"Then do you want to drink?" Zhao Zhen raised his eyelids.

Zhao Yan slapped the folding fan away angrily, and fanned himself vigorously: "Drink!"

Zhao Zhen said, "Leave as soon as you finish your meal."

"I broke my heart because of you. You just don't appreciate it, but you are so ruthless?" Zhao Yan stared at Zhao Zhen, looking at the expression of the heartless man.

"Huh?" Zhao Zhen glanced at Zhao Yan, and spread the bowl and chopsticks for You Ziqing, obviously not listening to Zhao Yan's complaint.

Zhao Yan... powerless to support his forehead: "It's nothing, I'll leave immediately after eating, okay?"

"Take that altar of flower carvings with you when you leave." Zhao Zhen glanced at Hu Chang.

Hu Chang bowed and said, "Your servant will get it now and put it in the third prince's carriage."

After that, he turned around and left.

After eating a meal, Zhao Yan's heart ached. Just looking at the two of them, you and I were so tired, he was so tired and full.

In the end, Zhao Zhen didn't let Zhao Zhen catch up, so he couldn't stand it and quickly slipped out.But the more he thought about it, the worse he got. According to his usual experience, he fumbled around and pulled out An Qi.

"Three, third prince?" An Qi stared at Zhao Yan with a dazed expression, and couldn't figure out why no matter how concealed he was, he would be picked out by the other party every time.

"Why do you look like a rabbit?" Zhao Yan was amused by An Qi, and the greasy energy dissipated a lot, but he dragged him away: "Go, go drink with the master!"

"No, no, no, I..."

"Everything must be done, if you dare to say that you are not careful, I will beat you!"

Seeing that An Qi was still struggling to move backwards, Zhao Yan clicked his tongue, directly pulled his arms, bent over and hugged his legs, and carried An Qi on his shoulders.

An Qi didn't follow suit, and just about to struggle to jump off, Zhao Yan slapped his butt.

Dark Seven: "!!"

When Hu Chang came back from putting on the flower carvings, he happened to see this scene, he was so startled that his feet twitched, and he staggered suddenly.

Because I was so shocked, I almost touched the pillar when I turned around.Until he went to restore Zhao Zhen's life, his face was still in a daze.

"The wine has been delivered?" Zhao Zhen looked at Hu Chang's appearance and was a little puzzled: "What's wrong with you?"

Only then did Hu Chang stabilize his mind: "The third prince has already been put in the carriage."

The third prince is a great man, he not only eats and takes, but also carries away your hidden guard...

Zhao Zhen frowned at the babbling look, "Ask someone to remove all of these."

After finishing speaking, he no longer cared about Hu Chang, supported You Ziqing, got up and went back to the inner hall.

"You rest first, I'll go to the study to take care of something, and I'll be over in a while." After helping You Ziqing to lie down, Zhao Zhen said.

Just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by You Ziqing.
