Qin Yi has been very busy these few days, rushing to the barracks every day at dawn, and didn't come back with a tired face until the middle of the month.

"Senior brother?"

Qin Yi walked to the Prince Regent's Mansion and saw Yi Xiu standing outside the door who seemed to be waiting for him, a few gleams of joy quietly floated in his eyes.

"You don't go back to rest, what are you doing standing here? Are you waiting for me?"

Yi Xiu looked at the unconcealable smile on Qin Yi's face, couldn't help turning his head away, and said in a cold tone: "No. I just came out to enjoy the moon because of the beautiful scenery here."

Appreciate the moon?

Qin Yi glanced at the hazy sky, not to mention the moon, not even a single star.

Couldn't help chuckling twice, and said: "Junior brother, what you admired, wasn't it the bright moon last night?"

Yi Xiu looked at the gloomy sky, then looked down at the smiling man in front of him, turned around and entered the palace, "What's none of your business?"

Seeing this, Qin Yi hurriedly chased after him, grabbed Yi Xiu's cold fingers, and walked side by side with him, "Okay, brother, I made a mistake, don't be angry. But junior brother, you are weak, so next time Don't go out for a walk at night, lest you catch a cold and drink bitter medicine again. You don't like bitter taste, so you suffer in vain."

As Qin Yi said, he took off his robe and put it on Yi Xiu.Although he was very happy that Yi Xiu was waiting for him so late, but if Yi Xiu suffered from the cold because of this, he would rather Yi Xiu stay in the house and not go anywhere.

Yi Xiu glanced at him, nodded slightly, and said in a low voice, "I know."

Then he couldn't help but said again: "Aren't you coming back so late every day?"

Qin Yi pressed his forehead, and sighed softly: "Recently, the Nanman side is not very stable. I intend to lead troops out, but you know the situation in Beijing. I really can't let go of both ends!"

External troubles and internal troubles are the true portrayal of this dynasty at this time.

Qin Yi doesn't have the slightest affection for those officials in Beijing who only know about fighting for power and profit. If it weren't for the fact that the Southern Barbarian War has never stopped, it would be inappropriate for Beijing to lay off a large number of employees. A trash who only knows how to eat idle food!

Outsiders said that he has been holding on to the power and refuses to return it to the grown-up emperor, plotting evil in his heart.But who knows, did he want to do it?

The emperor wanted to get rid of him all day long, and then regain his power.The country, the people, and foreign enemies are all ignored.If the power was given to the emperor, wouldn't he have to watch helplessly how this prosperous dynasty was overthrown overnight!

Since the emperor can't do well in this position, it doesn't matter, he can completely train a qualified heir to replace him.Among the emperor's younger brothers, there are more than one or two outstanding ones!

Yi Xiu didn't know the twists and turns in Qin Yi's heart, but when he saw Qin Yi's tired face, his heart trembled inexplicably.

"This is for you." Yi Xiu finally made up his mind, and handed a white porcelain bottle that had been kept close to Qin Yi in front of Qin Yi.

Qin Yi took it, looked at it a few times, and asked, "This is it?"

Yi Xiu continued to walk forward, with a calm tone: "The emperor's poison does have an antidote, but the main medicine used to make the antidote is gone. What you have in your hand is the last antidote in this world."

Qin Yi's eyes shook slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he just squeezed the hand he was holding with him, and said softly: "Thank you, Junior Brother."

Three days later, the Lantern Festival.

The streets and alleys in Beijing are decorated with lanterns and festoons, full of joy.

In front of the Prince Regent's Mansion, Yi Xiu looked at Qin Yi who was standing not far away with his horse, and the corners of his lips twitched lightly. He wanted to say that he should have a smooth journey and come back earlier, but the words came out: "Don't die outside."

Qin Yi raised the corners of his lips, and said in a gentle voice, "Junior Brother, take care of yourself, and I will come back immediately after I have leveled the Nanman."

Yi Xiu nodded, just as Qin Yi was about to get on his horse, he suddenly thought of something, walked up to Yi Xiu a few steps, hugged him, and whispered in his ear: "I originally said to accompany you to watch the lanterns, but now I can only pay for it next time." You. By the way, I have secretly asked someone to take care of your mother, so you don't have to worry. Also, for the emperor, try not to leave the palace, and the people I leave behind will protect you."

Yi Xiu pushed the man who was holding him tightly, and said in a low voice, "I see, you can go now."

After finishing speaking, Yi Xiu felt a little regretful. He actually didn't want to drive Qin Yi away, but he felt that the two of them acted a little intimately. Even though there were two layers of robes between them, they could still feel the scorching temperature and the warmth from the man's chest. There was a pounding heartbeat.

Qin Yi suddenly lowered his head, and kissed Yi Xiu's ear lightly, and it fell apart instantly.

Under Yi Xiu's strange gaze, Qin Yi smiled lightly, walked up to the horse, and quickly turned on the horse, "Junior brother, I like you."

Qin Yi put down these words, the horse's hooves swung, accompanied by dust, and disappeared into the distance in an instant, leaving only Yi Xiu standing there with a dazed expression, looking at the direction Qin Yi left.

Dozens of days later, the good news came back from the border to Shengjing, cheers erupted in the capital, and the people were secretly praying that their army would be able to return to the court victoriously.

Of course, this definitely does not include those ministers who are staunch royalists and their immediate boss-the emperor.

Inside the palace.

The emperor looked gloomy, threw the good news from the frontier horse on the ground, and snorted coldly: "The Nanman bastards can't even kill a Qin Yi. It's useless for me to send them so much information and food, waste!!"

The ministers below bowed their heads and remained silent. They were greedy for life and afraid of death, but they were not idiots. They really thought that they could be safe and sound by relying on the emperor.

Look at what he did. The Nanban fought against them. As a ruler, the emperor didn't want his army to win, but he secretly sent food and grass information to the enemy. This is simply crazy!

If Qin Yi didn't look down on them, they would have turned their guns and offered their loyalty to Qin Yi long ago!Just like the emperor, no matter how good the dynasty is given to him, he can't keep it! !

Mr. Jiang, who had expressed his loyalty to Qin Yi, curled his lips in secret. As far as he knew, among the ministers here, more than one had informed Qin Yi.

After all, no matter how bad Qin Yi was, they were at least wholeheartedly for the dynasty. They were only greedy for small fortunes and did not commit any serious crimes. At most, they were demoted in the end.

But if the emperor's wish is really fulfilled, they dare to use their own heads to guarantee that once Qin Yi dies on the front foot, they will have to follow the emperor and bury the dynasty together!

Death or money?

They are not fools, of course they know how to choose.

The emperor didn't know that more than half of the dozen or so ministers under him were mocking him in their hearts.He took a breath, and looked at Hubu Shangshu who was kneeling at the very front.

"An Aiqing, has there been any movement in the Regent's Palace recently?"

An Wenxuan was distracted, what the emperor really wanted to ask was Yi Xiu who had been staying in the Regent's Palace and rarely went out.

"Return to Your Majesty, everything is normal in the Prince Regent's Mansion, genius doctor, since the Prince Regent left, he hasn't been out of the gate of the Prince Regent's Mansion."

The emperor snorted coldly: "Then you won't send someone to invite you?"

The emperor's "please" is of course not "please" in the general sense.

Hubu Shangshu said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, although the regent has left, many of his secret guards have remained behind. Even a servant in the regent's mansion is as powerful as a master in the palace. I really have no choice. !"

In fact, the Minister of the Household Department did not make it clear that even a young servant in the family's mansion was besieged by dozens of them together, but it was a disastrous defeat, and his life was almost lost.

The emperor frowned fiercely, and swept off the teacup memorial and other things on the table, and the things cracked and shattered on the floor.

After a long while, a smile suddenly appeared on the emperor's face, and he said to the Hubu Minister in a gentle voice: "Aiqing, I remember that you brought a daughter to a banquet a few days ago, and had a good chat with the genius doctor. Isn't that right?"

An Wenxuan was stunned for a moment, and quickly replied: "Yes, that is the eldest daughter of the minister. At the banquet a few days ago, I did have a chat with the genius doctor."

The emperor said: "The genius doctor is unparalleled in medicine, and Aiqing's daughter is also talented and beautiful. I think they are a good match. Aiqing, what do you think?"

How dare An Wenxuan say no, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty said that the minister will change another day, no, today I will go to the Prince Regent's Mansion to visit the genius doctor and discuss the marriage."

The emperor said with satisfaction: "Well, then Aiqing will go now. By the way, it's better to take Miss An with me. Wouldn't it be better if we could go to some lively places to chat?"

An Wenxuan responded again and again, bowed and exited the palace gate.

Out of the emperor's sight, An Wenxuan vigorously wiped the sweat from his head, and walked quickly towards his mansion.
