Offer a tripod

There was no one in the teahouse, and Yuan Jing stumbled out, feeling a sharp pain in his chest, and his vision was no longer clear.When going downstairs, he stepped on the ground and rolled down. His forehead hit the sharp corner of the stairs, but he didn't feel any pain. He just lay on the cold ground, wishing he could die.Cao Ruyi was worried about the situation here, so she sent Yuan Xi back, and hurried back, still thinking about how to protect the prince from leaving if they had a dispute.After arriving in the teahouse, the silence inside was as usual, and my heart felt a little at ease. I didn't want to go upstairs, and saw the prince lying there with his head bleeding.Immediately frightened out of his wits, he stretched out his hand, only to feel that his whole body was cold and almost lifeless, so he hurriedly picked him up, jumped up and down, and sent him back to the residence.

Yuan Jing developed a high fever that night and babbled nonsense all night, even Emperor Yan was alarmed.When he woke up, he found that he had returned to the Yanfu Palace. The decorations in the palace were the same as the day he left. Even Xiao Liu was kneeling beside his bed with low eyebrows as before.Yuan Jing was placed in the soft and warm mattress, his limbs and bones ached, his head and neck tilted slightly, and tears rolled down first.Only someone said in surprise: "Your Highness is awake."

After a while, footsteps sounded, and the bed curtain was pulled aside. Yuan Jing looked to the side, and saw Emperor Yan coming in front of him.I haven't seen him for a long time, but he has lost a lot of weight. A few strands of white hair are hidden in the bun, which can only be seen clearly when he is close.

Yuan Jing's hands hidden under the quilt tightly clutched the hem of his clothes, holding back his tears, he got up and wanted to worship.Emperor Yan gestured for him to lie down.The father and son looked at each other for a long time, Emperor Yan didn't mention the fact that he returned to Beijing secretly but did not enter the palace to restore the edict, he just sighed, and reached out to touch his forehead: "It's fine if it falls into the hands of those people in the Western Wei Dynasty. Why did you get injured when you came back, tell me, who did this?"

When Yuan Jing heard him mentioning the Western Wei Dynasty, his heart ached again. He suddenly had an idea, wanting to tell the whole story, and wanting his father to punish the bad guy who failed him, but this idea only flashed in his mind. Pass.He said in a low voice: "I didn't see the road clearly when I was walking, and I accidentally fell."

Emperor Yan said: "At that time, that bad boy from the Chu family was also upstairs?" For some reason, whenever the emperor mentioned him in private, he always had a bad tone.Yuan Jing shrank back under the quilt and didn't respond for a moment.Emperor Yan looked at him and smiled: "It's been like this since I was a child, and I refused to talk about being wronged. In fact, you should talk about it. Now that I am still here, I can support you. If in the future... you can only rely on yourself gone."

What he said was calm, but Yuan Jing was startled when he heard it, he hurriedly got up and said: "Father is in a healthy year, and he will never..."

Emperor Yan pressed him down: "I just said it casually, you don't have to think about it." The conversation changed, and said: "I heard that Yuan Xi was injured, and he did it, right?"

Yuan Jing was silent for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "Yes." Looking at Emperor Yan's face, he added, "They had a fight."

Emperor Yan didn't care about the reason for their quarrel at all, he just looked at him and asked: "Although Yuan Xi has been demoted to a commoner, she is still my son, and you..." He reached out and touched his forehead: " Chu Yu doesn't distinguish between superiority and inferiority, and he doesn't follow the rules of etiquette, so tell yourself, how should I punish him?"

Yuan Jing bit his lips: "But according to Father's orders."

Emperor Yan said: "I want you to tell me."

Yuan Jing looked at the top of the tent, and said dumbly: "He seriously injured the emperor's heir, and he should be killed in terms of law. Only General Shenwu has made great achievements. If it is right...to deal with him so severely, I am afraid that it will cause dissatisfaction in the Northwest and cause chaos. , let him think behind closed doors first."

Emperor Yan seemed a little disappointed and said: "The Chu family really has to guard against it, but this person is extraordinary, if you can hide his sharpness, that's fine, if you can't hide it, you should be ruthless."

Yuan Jing's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he looked at him and said, "Father, can you really not let Brother Huang stay?"

Emperor Yan said calmly: "The imperial decree has been issued, do you want me to be a capricious king?" Seeing the sad look on his face, his tone was slightly slower: "But he went to the mountains and the road is far away, and now he is injured again. Just let him go after spring."

Yuan Jing knew the weight of these words, so he didn't dare to persuade him anymore, and closed his eyes wearily: "Father, when you were the prince, did you have so many calculations around you?"

Emperor Yan had never heard him speak in such a tone, and his voice was softer: "Yes, the previous emperor had many heirs, but there was only one emperor, so calculations are inevitable."

Yuan Jing closed his eyes tightly, and said softly: "At that time, how did you come here? I'm really tired, I can't figure out others."

Emperor Yan was silent for a while, and said lightly: "It has been so long in the past, I have forgotten, maybe there was a close friend with me at that time, so it didn't feel so difficult..." Looking at Yuan Jing, he sighed: " You have suffered a lot this year, and I will not send you any more errands for a while, so you should have a good rest." When he got up, he said, "Of course it will be tiring to endure blindly, Prince, whether to sit or not You don't have to choose a seat, if you don't want to do this anymore, learn to calculate others."

Liu Lin stood aside, seeing that he was about to leave, he hurried over to help him, Emperor Yan waved his hand, and told him to stay and take care of the crown prince.When the bed curtain was put down again, Yuan Jing's tears also flowed down, until Emperor Yan's repressed cough disappeared, and the sadness on his face did not disappear one iota.

I don't know how long he slept, but when Yoyo woke up, his throat was already sore.He has been sleeping very poorly lately, he would be awakened by the slightest disturbance, Emperor Yan sympathized with him and sent him outside.At that time, the Yanfu Hall was as warm as spring, and he saw that there was no one outside the bed tent, so he went to the ground barefoot to look for water.Passing over the window, he suddenly found a long black wooden box there, which looked familiar to him, and when he picked it up, it was the small crossbow that he had left here.

He couldn't help but think that when they were still living in the palace, Chu Yu would often bring in some interesting gadgets in order to make him happy.Sometimes he refuses to give him well, and he has to hug him and act like a baby before he is willing to be with him.Thinking of this, the object in his hand suddenly turned into hot charcoal, which he hastily threw on the ground.

Liu Lin brought a group of palace people in after hearing the sound, saw him sitting in thin clothes by the window, and called out: "My little highness, you only subsided after high fever, why did you come down?" After feeding him a few mouthfuls, he worked hard to invite him back to bed.Seeing that Yuan Jing's eyes were red and his description was thin, he couldn't help but feel distressed when he looked like a lively young man when he left Beijing. He said softly, "Your Highness, the Emperor was very happy when he heard that you were coming back, so he sent his servants to go several days in advance. Prepare those things you love in the past, and the palace also invited a new entertainment troupe, just to wait for you to come and see." Seeing that Yuanjing's thin lips were tightly pursed, as if he didn't want to talk, he sighed and said: "Then You take a rest first, and the medical officer will come to take your pulse after a while."

But at this moment, Yuan Jing turned over and took his hand: "Elder-in-law, does my father like the queen mother?" He said hoarsely: "When I was young, the palace people often said that the father loved the queen mother very much, so these things In the past few years, there has been no new empress and no concubines."

In the warm hall, Liu Lin's back was covered with cold sweat. He knew that he couldn't evade this question, so he thought about it for a while and said, "Your Highness, the emperor and the empress are a match made in heaven. On the night of the Lantern Festival, the emperor went out in disguise. I ran into my empress at the Lantern Festival. The empress was naturally beautiful and extremely beautiful. The emperor fell in love with him at first sight, and regardless of the objections of his officials, he brought her into the palace. Within two months, he made her a queen. The slave is an eunuch who doesn't know love Taste, but like this kind of honor, I think I like it very much."

Yuan Jing said indifferently: "But I have never seen him feel sad because of missing his mother. He can't even remember the day of her death. Father-in-law, is everyone like this?"

His questions today became more and more strange. Liu Lin didn't dare to meet his gaze, but lowered his head and said, "The emperor is the Son of Heaven, and every word and deed should be an example for all people. Even if he is sentimental, he should take it to heart."

Yuan Jing smiled very lightly, shook his head, and said: "When I was young, I saw my father drinking alone with the moon. After he got drunk, he took me to the tall buildings in the palace. At that time, his The appearance is very sad, father-in-law, you can't hide your sadness, you understand, right? He must have had such a thing before. "

Liu Lin was silent for a long time, and said modestly: "Yes, but in recent years it has not happened once, Your Highness, no matter how sad things are, they will pass away slowly."

Yuan Jing let out a "hmm", and buried himself in the quilt in fear.

The crown prince has been recuperating from this illness for a long time, and even on New Year's Eve, he stayed in the palace and failed to come out.Emperor Yan seemed to intend to make up for him, and the rewards were sent to Yanfu Hall every three days.After the Waking of Insects, the prince survived the once-a-year catastrophe, and there were more than 100 horses and chariots to send the prince back home, full of rewards.

The East Palace was even more beaming, and Xiao Liu went to the door to wait before dawn.I don't want the prince to come back this time, his temperament has changed drastically, he has reorganized the whole mansion, ordered people to redecorate the bedroom, and threw out all the old things from the past, even his favorite sachet on the bed curtain. He ordered people to take it and burn it, and asked the holy order to call in thousands of imperial guards to guard day and night.Xiao Liu accompanied her every day, and she didn't dare to make a sound, it was even more difficult than when she was disliked by the emperor last year.

When Chu Yu heard about the Prince's return to the mansion, he went out against the imperial edict that night, but when he went to the Prince's Mansion, he saw that the mansion was huge, with a post every three steps, and a sentry post every five steps. More than a dozen guards took turns patrolling, and there was even a hidden crossbow in front of the Prince's bedroom. There are hundreds of guards and guards, and the guards are even tighter than those in the Shenwu Camp. If you want to quietly enter the sleeping hall, it is absolutely impossible.

He didn't expect Yuan Jing to be so stubborn, and he felt a little angry at the moment, he clenched the sword in his hand, endured it again and again, he didn't want to do anything, so he had to go back first.

Now that one month has passed, seeing that the spring is getting warmer and the flowers are blooming in the capital, there is still no trace of looseness within the high walls of the Prince's Mansion.Yuan Jing entered the palace every day, learning from Emperor Yan how to govern the people. Now when he goes in and out, he must lead the way with a horse, accompanied by a master, and a mighty group of people will protect him in the middle. It's hard to get close to him just by looking at him.He made up his mind this time to make a break with the past, even Emperor Yan proposed to choose a crown princess for him, and he agreed.

Chu Yu had heard about these things, and a sense of uneasiness spread in his heart. After that time, he did not go to Yuan Jing again, but now he couldn't sit still anymore. He transferred several shadow guards and secretly sneaked into the prince's mansion , day and night surveillance.

A few days later, the palace sent a new Shuyuan into the Prince's mansion, and that night, she dressed up, held the royal wine, and went to the Prince's bedroom to serve.At that time Yuan Jing was sitting alone by the window in a daze, and when Xiao Liu came to ask for instructions: "Should Feng Yi come in?", he hesitated for a moment, then nodded in acquiescence.He thought he was ready, but when he was touched by those slender hands, he shuddered unceasingly, and the picture of him and Chu Yu who had been happy in the past flooded out in his mind. He also ran out like this.

Looking at the back of him leaving in a hurry, Xiao Liu felt a little relieved in her heart, the prince seems to be a different person now, taciturn, he can't even smile, only this aspect is the same as before.
