"I just want to hear your opinion, okay?"

Xiao Jingyuan said rather rascally, he simply took off his shoes and lay half down on the slump, looking at Si Ruihan from afar, the melancholy just now was gone.

Seeing this, Si Ruihan could only sigh, "This matter must have something to do with Concubine Hui, her Suixuan Pavilion is not close to Hexi Palace, so she will never wander there, besides, the servants of the harem and Private communication between concubines is also not allowed, this point... no one will cross the line."

Xiao Jingyuan nodded, "You and I know what you said, and Concubine Hui must also know, but she still found such a lame excuse, what do you think she is planning?"

This time Si Ruihan didn't say anything directly, he just picked up the book on the table and flipped through it again, Xiao Jingyuan squinted at the other party's actions.

"Why didn't you say it again?"

"The bottom of the emperor's heart is like a mirror, so why do you want me to speak out..."

"I just want to hear your opinion. I'm the only one who thinks about it. I don't think I can fully understand it when it's dark." Xiao Jingyuan said in a muffled voice.

Si Ruihan raised his eyes and looked at him, "Concubine Hui has doubts about the emperor not entering the harem, and now this is just a test..."

Speaking of this, Si Ruihan stared at him, "What the emperor did last night already gave her the answer, why should I waste my tongue here..."

"Are you unhappy that I mentioned her position?" Xiao Jingyuan asked suddenly.

Si Ruihan glanced indifferently, and his tone was as usual, "The emperor is the son of heaven, and there are three thousand beauties in the harem. Rewards and punishments are all gifts. No one should and cannot have objections. This minister is just one of these three thousand beauties."

Seeing Si Ruihan's clear eyes staring at Xiao Jingyuan, he panicked for a while, quickly looked away, and then cleared his throat, "Someone drugged Han Shijun's food, and the person who gave the drug came from... the Princess Palace. "

Upon hearing this, Si Ruihan frowned slightly, but he didn't react too much. Seeing this, Xiao Jingyuan said, "Aren't you surprised? The imperial concubine actually intervened in this matter."

Just as Si Ruihan was about to reach out for the book, Xiao Jingyuan quickly took the book away, "I'm going to chase after you to ask again, why do you always hide half of it and cover the other half, you still don't believe me..."

Silently looking at the book that Xiao Jingyuan rolled up and held in his hand, Si Ruihan thought for a while, "Concubine Hui and Concubine Huang Taifei have always been close..."

Speaking of this, Si Ruihan stopped, he didn't want to say any more, Xiao Jingyuan also knew the worries in Si Ruihan's heart, so naturally he wouldn't cling to it.

"Forget it, if you don't want to say it, I won't ask, but... I can also tell you that when you and I come back from the south, Concubine Hui must be removed."

Hearing that Si Ruihan narrowed his eyes, Xiao Jingyuan simply sat up and looked directly at him, "Do you think I'm cruel and ruthless? I have an unpredictable temperament?"

Si Ruihan remained silent, Xiao Jingyuan got up and stood in front of him, then stretched out his arms and wrapped Si Ruihan in his arms, "I have three thousand in the harem, but only one ladle of the three thousand for weak water, sir. Later... Do you understand?"

Si Ruihan raised his eyes and glanced at him, as if he wanted to see hypocrisy and falsehood from his eyes, but in the end he couldn't see anything, so he could only look away.

"Your Majesty, the imperial harem is closely related to each other, so no jokes are allowed." Si Ruihan said indifferently, without the slightest bit of joy because of Xiao Jingyuan's words.

Hearing this, Xiao Jingyuan could only sigh silently. He was speaking the truth, why did it become a joke...

This night, Si Ruihan stayed up all night again, so that when Zhou Mingqian came the next day, seeing the dark blue in his eyes, she couldn't help but frowned.

"Didn't sleep well in the past few days?" Zhou Mingqian looked at it carefully.

"Look at the blue color in your eyes. If you keep your energy up like this, even if it is a useful medicine, what effect will it have?" Zhou Mingqian said with a sigh.

After checking the pulse, she breathed a sigh of relief, and her expression relaxed a little, "At any rate, you listened to me, and you took this medicine in time, so your body will recover much faster."

When Si Ruihan heard this, he couldn't help but frowned slightly, "How does the mother know that the child...takes the medicine on time?"

"In such a short period of time, you have been able to recuperate your body to this point. Apart from the medicine prescribed by your mother, you are counting on the imperial doctor in this imperial hospital? Hah..." Zhou Mingqian sneered.

"The medicine they prescribe is enough to keep people alive. Just like you were before, you have to keep recuperating anyway."

After listening to Zhou Mingqian's words, Si Ruihan raised his eyebrows. In the past few days, he had poured out all the decoctions Fu Ling sent, but Xiao Jingyuan stared at him every day as he drank the decoctions from the Imperial Hospital.

He thought that what he was drinking was the ordinary soup and medicine, and it would be good to nourish his spirit, but he never thought that what he was drinking would be the soup medicine prescribed by his mother.

The harem is treacherous, and there are many things that cannot be guarded against. Even if it is the medicine handed in by the mother, Fu Ling boiled it, it may not be safe. Therefore, Si Ruihan never thought of drinking it. Being assassinated, it is better not to drink from the beginning.

It's just that Xiao Jingyuan meddled in it, Imperial Physician Liu was handpicked by the other party to check his pulse, and he wanted to be cautious in everything, Xiao Jingyuan would take a sip first every time, how could he refuse.

At this time, Fu Ling, who was guarding outside the house, felt a chill coming up from the soles of his feet, which made him rub his arms involuntarily...

"You take this token, I heard from your grandfather, why didn't your child tell me that you are going to go to the south with him, and prepare some self-defense for your mother." Zhou Mingqian said very dissatisfied.

Si Ruihan shook his head, "If you go to the south with the emperor, nothing will happen, mother don't have to worry."

Zhou Mingqian sighed, it was because she was with Xiao Jingyuan that she was worried, but she also knew that she couldn't say it out loud, so she just stuffed the token into Si Ruihan's hand, "Anyway, It’s always good to have more protection.”

Si Ruihan couldn't help it, so he took it away, and when Zhou Mingqian was sent away, he called Fu Ling into the room. Si Ruihan sat on the main seat, holding a teacup and fiddled with the tea lid, with a calm expression on his face.

Fu Ling glanced secretly, then lifted up the hem of his clothes and knelt neatly, held back his mouth, and whispered, "Master, I'm wrong..."

Si Ruihan glanced lightly, "You knew it was like this, the emperor ordered it?"

"Master, the emperor..."

Si Ruihan waved his hand, "In the future, you can let him do whatever he wants to do, but...be careful about everything, not every poison has to take effect immediately, if you want to change it and take it slowly, It should be poisonous in the past few days."

Si Ruihan's cold tone made Fu Ling shudder, and he couldn't help feeling scared, "Master, I really..."

"Forget it, you are my book boy. I know what kind of heart you have. You should be careful in the future. I'm afraid this Teng Hui Pavilion will not be clean in the future." Si Ruihan said with a half-smile.

Not to mention that Xiao Jingyuan only took one scoop of the three thousand weak waters before, but seriously, his recent performance alone has aroused the alarm of the empress dowager, and he did not hesitate to use the unfavorable servant to test him, Si Ruihan knew , Be more careful in the future.

Time passed by in a hurry, and soon there was warmth. New branches had grown on the peach trees in the courtyard, and many flower buds had grown faintly. The southern tour in early spring was also on the agenda.

When it was the day of leaving Beijing, Xiao Jingyuan found the coarse clothes of ordinary people, and after changing them, he stared at Si Ruihan for a long time and shook his head, "You have also changed your clothes and your hair bun, but why? It doesn't look like ordinary people."

Si Ruihan looked down, and said helplessly, "Does that minister need to disguise himself?"

Xiao Jingyuan approached and raised his hand to touch Si Ruihan's cheek, but when he noticed that the other party was about to lean back, he raised his hand and grabbed his arm, and finally touched the other party's cheek.

The delicate and soft hands made Xiao Jingyuan smile slightly, "I heard that disguise hurts the skin, although I don't like you going out to attract people, but if it hurts your face because of this, I will be even more dissatisfied."

Si Ruihan squinted his eyes, "Does the emperor like my minister's face very much?"

The dullness in his tone made Xiao Jingyuan smile, then grabbed his hand and put it on his face, "Don't you like my face?"

The subtle touch between his fingers made Si Ruihan's eyes flash slightly. He broke free and raised his hand to straighten the hem of his clothes. "It's getting late, it's time to leave."

Xiao Jingyuan nodded, the slight touch of his fingertips made the corners of his lips slightly raised, and his mood improved a bit. The two of them got out of the imperial gate and got on their horses, and began their journey of patrolling the south...

The road was neither rush nor slow, and following the caravan, they arrived at their first scheduled stop, Fengtai Town, three days later.

This is the entrance town for them to enter the southern hinterland. Here is the Zhennan Prince's Mansion. Zhennan Wang Xiao Mushan is the younger brother of the late emperor. When the late emperor ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, he was dispatched to the south without being summoned to Beijing.

Xiao Jingyuan is still clear about this King of Zhennan, and he is also an ambitious man. In his previous life, King Nanjing rebelled, but he did not get involved. There are many annoying little cleverness.

Si Ruihan and Xiao Jingyuan brought their troops to the gate of the city, got off their horses and led the horses, handed over the entry documents, and entered Fengtai Town. It looked very peaceful here, as if it hadn't been affected by the drought in early spring.

"It seems that Fengtai Town is well managed by King Zhennan." Xiao Jingyuan said with a half-smile.

"I don't know...Your Majesty, this Zhennan King is very famous in Fengtai Town." Li Mo, the third son of General Li, said calmly.

"The prestige is far and wide. I think the emperor is far away. He wants to establish himself as king." Xiao Jingyuan said with a smile.

"Do you want to stay overnight?" Si Ruihan asked with his head turned sideways.

"It's all here, why don't you stay for a night, it's rare to come across a place where you can sleep comfortably for the night, and it's time to have a good rest." After Xiao Jingyuan finished speaking, he and Si Ruihan led the horse to an inn.
