Yuan Zanbi smiled wryly at this moment, he blinked unconsciously, and said: "Is there any room for me to refuse?"

The emperor asked puzzledly: "Why did you refuse?" His expression was somewhat joking, and he said: "Years ago, you took the risk of my displeasure to plead for Qiao Yu, and today it is even more important for Qiao Yu to go to Huzhou to borrow troops. , " Seeing that Yuan Zan was hesitating to speak, he felt very helpless, and added: "Naturally, Yuan Qing is for the country, and only has a little selfishness. He sacrificed his life to save him time and time again, and Qiao Yu's body is not enough to promise me."

Yuan Zanbi resisted the urge to sigh.

Eunuch Xia's eyes were about to pop out. When the emperor said that Qiao Yu's physical promise was not enough, he couldn't help but slander him. Qiao Yu's physical promise is a good thing?

"I... this is my duty, I dare not mention rewards."

The emperor said, "Could it be that Yuan Qing has no intentions of Qiao Yu?"

If the Four-Yuan Hairpin Pen has no intentions towards Qiao Yu, then there are not many people in the world who are affectionate and righteous.

Yuan Zanbi recalled Qiao Yu's reaction today, and said: "The minister and Qiao Xiang met each other when they were young, and they have a classmate friendship. It is said that it was unintentional, but the minister deliberately deceived him." If you don't care about private matters, and Qiao Xiang's ministers don't know about it, His Majesty's gift of marriage will probably only add a couple of grudges."

The emperor smiled, "I'm afraid Qiao Yu will be sad when you say that."

Yuan Zanbi smiled even more bitterly, and said: "I made a slip of the tongue for a while."

"If the two of you don't want to, I won't force it." The emperor said, and he changed the subject, "Where is the Zhongzhou Army?"

"After the surrender of the Zhongzhou army, it has been under the control of the ministers."

The emperor said lightly: "You have worked hard all the way, go back and have a good rest, let's put aside the military affairs for now."

Yuan Zanbi understood the meaning of the emperor and said: "I obey the order."

The emperor said again: "Qiao Yu is really innocent in this matter, and it is expedient to take his official position. The crown prince will be punished, and Qiao Yu will be reinstated as an official." Eunuch Xia wanted to send an order to ask Qiao Yu to come in to thank him, but he waved his hand, "There is no need to call Qiao Yu came in to thank you, he has suffered a lot these days, let him go back and rest."

Yuan Zan wrote: "Yes."

The emperor half closed his swollen eyes, "Go down."

Yuan Zan pen kowtowed to the emperor and came out of the palace.

The sunlight outside is just right, but the palace building is twists and turns, falling inside the hall, it is still a bit gloomy.

The emperor coughed a few times, and Eunuch Xia hastily brought the herbal tea that was already hot and cold to the emperor's mouth.

It is said to be tea, and there are very few tea leaves, but it is just a cup of dark medicine, which smells very bitter.

The emperor tilted his head, took a few sips and felt the smell of the medicine lingering in his mouth, he raised his hand to order it to be withdrawn, Eunuch Xia understood, put down the medicine, and comforted him: "Now that Master Yuan is back, Your Majesty can recover from his illness with peace of mind."

He didn't dare to look up at the emperor, but when he heard the emperor smiled happily, a relaxed smile appeared on his face.

"The fifth one is coming soon." The emperor seemed to mention it casually, with a smile on his lips.

At this time, the Fifth Prince was asked to come over, probably not because he was unwell and asked his son to preside over the affairs.Eunuch Xia was clear in his heart, and echoed, "I think it will be soon."

……

Xiaoxue squatted on the coachman's seat with a bitter face and waited for Yuan Zanbi to come back. Seeing him coming out, her eyes lit up, but her expression became even more bitter.

Yuan Zanbi was less than two steps away from Xiaoxue. He originally wanted to rub the young man's hair, but suddenly found that the young man's stature was becoming more and more like that of an adult man, and his round face showed some sharp edges and corners, so he let it go His hand fell on Xiaoxue's shoulder, "You have worked hard these days."

Xiaoxue could hear the seriousness in the tone of Yuan Zan's pen, and the joy in his heart was intertwined. The young man raised his head proudly, and said, "Fortunately, I did not disgrace my fate." There was still a lot of difference between the two of them. It's really convenient for someone to rub it, but after saying this, he lowered his voice, "It's time for your lord to come back, I was really scared to death just now."

Yuan Zanbi only said: "You did a good job."

After Yuan Zanbi got into the car, Xiaoxue said softly: "You and sister, what's the matter?"

Yuan Zan didn't answer, but asked, "What did Xiang Xiang say?"

Xiaoxue leaned against the car curtain, hesitantly said: "My sister only talks about the world with me, and doesn't talk about anything else."

If Qiao Yu wanted to change the subject, a young man like Xiaoxue, who was not deeply involved in the world and had little scheming, would often have nothing to do. Qiao Yu chatted with him about the local customs like teasing a child, and even praised the taste of the herbal tea in the dungeon.

"He just now," Yuan Zanbi thought for a while, "is there anything unusual about his expression?"

Xiaoxue said: "My sister is always smiling."

Xiaoxue waited for a long time but did not wait for the next sentence, she considered: "Sister is worried about adults." The indifference of Yuanza Youth Daily was exactly the same as that of Qiao Yu, he could only say: "There is one more thing, these days, my subordinates have never seen it before. Cold pond."

He felt movement behind him, and tilted his head slightly, only to see Yuanzan pen lift half of the car curtain.

Xiaoxue saw that his hand was holding the car curtain tightly but slowly loosened it as if nothing had happened, and put down the curtain.

Xiaoxue could see clearly, and continued to speak with Yuan Zan pen as if ignorant, with a bit of curiosity in his tone, he said: "My lord, there are rumors in the court that the young prefect Gu was bullied by several princes when he was in Beijing, and several princes Accidentally hurt Gu Taishou's face while fighting, causing the scar on his face to last forever." He compared a circle the size of a bowl, "With such a big scar, the prefect has been out of the house for a long time. It’s even more weird, is this true?”

What he said was far-fetched, and he mixed up the stories of so many people. Yuan Zanbi felt helpless after hearing this, and said, "Where did you know that?"

Xiaoxue showed a somewhat innocent smile and said, "Isn't it true?"

Yuan Zanbi wanted to say that there was no truth, but he couldn't hide the narrowness in his eyes, and said: "Prefect Gu is just outside the city, if you want to know, it will be clearer than what I said if you go and see for yourself."

Xiaoxue looked up at him, her neck was sore, "Prefect Gu is such a character, it's not something that subordinates can see whenever they want."

He turned his neck around, and there was a grinding sound between the joints, which made his teeth sore. He hadn't had a good rest for more than a dozen days and nights. In order to be awake and vigilant at all times, he relied on rest and slept with his clothes on every day, let alone a pillow, " Sir, should you go back to your residence, or go to the prefect Gu outside the city?"

Yuan Zanbi raised the curtain, put his hand on his shoulder and pressed it, seeing him trembling as expected, turned his face and complained: "My lord, did your subordinate say something that didn't suit your lord's wishes?"

Yuan Zan wrote: "Go to Gu Taishou's office." He finally seemed a little relaxed, with a slight smile, "He has a good doctor."

Xiaoxue did not refuse, and said cheerfully: "I have heard that there is a genius doctor in Gu Taishou's office, who can rejuvenate his hands, just like Hua Tuo is alive, he can heal the dead and give birth to bones. This time, it is thanks to the blessing of your lord."

Yuan Zanpen pressed the center of his eyebrows with his hand, and said in a low voice, "Why have you heard of everything?"

In just a cup of tea, Xiaoxue got her wish to meet the reincarnated genius doctor under Gu Yuanting.

Holding the teacup, Gu Yuanting wrote to Yuan Zan, "I ordered someone to bring Pu'er from Huzhou."

Yuan Zan took a sip and put it down, "Good tea."

His perfunctory was barely on his lips, Gu Yuanting said: "But it's not good water."

"The mountains and rivers in Huzhou are so beautiful that Zhongzhou can't match them." Yuan Zanbi said casually.

"Therefore no matter how good the tea is, if it is soaked in the water of Zhongzhou, it will not be superior to others. It's a pity, it's a pity." Gu Yuanting said, "I don't know how Master Yuan can swallow the tea brewed in such water?"

With a scream, Xiaoxue pulled Yuan Zanbi back from the edge of daze. He came back to his senses and said calmly: "It can be seen that Gu Taishou has a hundred secrets and a sparse collection. He brought all his food and clothing from Huzhou. Why did he forget to pack a few barrels of Hu Oasis in the state."

The doctor under Gu Yuanting was a white-faced, beardless middle-aged man, with a fat figure, round face and round eyes, extremely friendly, and people couldn't help but relax their vigilance when they saw him.

That's what Xiaoxue thought. After Yuanzanbi expressed his intention to come, Gu Yuanting not only called the doctor very generously, but also let Xiaoxue go directly into the room. He still wanted to decline, but Yuanzanbi accepted it very calmly.

Xiaoxue felt ashamed before, but when the doctor began to massage his shoulders, he realized why there was only a screen between them.

"My lord—help me!"

Probably to facilitate him to ask for help.

This doctor looks elegant, his fingers are unbelievably soft, delicate like a little girl who is good at taking care of himself, but he is so strong that he can press Xiaoxue on the ground without changing his face.

Yuan Zanbi looked inside.

Gu Yuanting said: "It's nothing. This child is so afraid of pain, it seems that someone hurts him."

If Yuan Zanbi was not there, even if Xiaoxue died of pain, she would have to bite the soft blanket on the upper bunk without making a sound. With Yuan Zanbi, a brother who loved him so much, she would naturally have no scruples.

Xiaoxue burst into tears in pain.

"However," Gu Yuanting looked up and down the Yuanzan pen, "Your sharp teeth and mouth are far better than in the past, why? The emperor reprimanded you?" He muttered in wonder: "No, the emperor sees you now It's probably like meeting your reborn parents. Right now, the Huzhou Army and the Zhongzhou Army are in your hands, the little prince is also in your hands, and his life is even more in your hands. If I were the emperor, I would like to offer you a gift to win you over at this moment. How can he reprimand you when the sky is rich and powerful, and the power of the country is overwhelmed?"

"Your Majesty is the most magnanimous person, with a kind heart. Even if I violate the rules, I will not get angry, let alone reprimand." Yuan Zanbi replied coldly.

Xiaoxue was pressed to death by these soft and boneless hands, and she still didn't forget to listen to the two adults, secretly wondering that Yuan Zanbi rarely showed such obvious likes and dislikes.

At such a time, it is hard to say that Yuan Zanbi is not a scheming person. Whether he or Qiao Yu, they are used to calculating people's hearts and weighing the pros and cons. There is little concealment in front of him, and he is used to knowing five or six points with a little observation, but Yuan Zanbi is the complete opposite. He seems to be able to see the bottom at a glance. He is cold and indifferent from beginning to end. In my heart, it seemed like a sword that had been made into steel without impurities, but its mind was far more unpredictable than Qiao Yu's.

Xiaoxue grew up by Yuan Zanbi's side, and the two had been together day and night for more than seven years, but when Yuan Zanbi didn't want to say anything, he really couldn't see anything from Yuan Zanbi.

Whether happy or angry, he never said a word, and never showed it.

Xiaoxue talks a lot, and he can't hide any secrets on the second night. For a person like Yuan Zanbi, he always wonders, what kind of patience should he have, so that he doesn't even show his emotions?

"And now the Zhongzhou Army is in charge of His Majesty himself." Yuan Zanbi added.

Gu Yuanting sneered: "You will give him what he wants?"

"I dare not disobey the order of the king."

"An is the emperor's order? It's because the Zhongzhou army is not familiar with you. It's useless for you to raise your arms. The emperor doesn't need to worry about your yellow robe. If you hand in this useless but hot soldier talisman early, you can still gain the emperor's trust, right? "

Yuan Zanbi didn't bother to respond.

Gu Yuanting was in high spirits.

No matter how long the Yuanzan brush has been polished in the frontier, it is still a son of a noble family. He has the arrogance and temper of a son of a noble family, but there are few things that can make him displeased, so few people see him angry.

Wei Que and Wei Que have been friends for many years, and they gave a lot of advice to Wei Que, a proud student. Seeing that the immature boy became a man of few words, the two of them hit it off in the matter of the emperor and worked hand in hand. Gu Yuanting's rare interest is Guess Yuan Zan pen thoughts.

"Why doesn't he want the Huzhou Army?" Gu Yuanting asked knowingly.

Yuan Zan wrote: "I also ask Governor Gu to offer it with both hands."

Gu Yuanting laughed out loud.

Xiaoxue laughed so much that she forgot about the pain, she just pricked up her ears to listen to the movement outside.

A servant came in from a small trot and whispered something to Gu Yuanting.

Gu Yuanting nodded, and the latter ran out.

He put down his teacup and let out a long sigh.

Yuan Zan did not look sideways, even though Gu Yuanting had already walked in front of him.

A shadow shrouded in front of him, Yuan Zanbi frowned slightly.

Gu Yuanting bowed and said in a low voice: "If I hand over the Huzhou Army, Master Yuan," his voice was so low that no one could hear it clearly except for the two of them, and Xiaoxue desperately leaned in the direction of the outside to no avail. "What are you rebelling against?"

Yuan Zan pen lowered his eyes.

His eyes were bright like autumn water, but his expression was indescribably cold.

Gu Yuanting said: "Even if there is still Yanzhou, it is not easy for you to leave Zhongzhou alone, besides," he meant, "you are not alone."

"Oh," Gu Yuanting said with a smile, "the face has changed."

The attendants on the left and right saw Yuan Zanbi sitting with the same expression as usual, not to mention changing his face, he didn't even blink, and he was a little puzzled as to how Gu Yuanting knew it.

The attendants who still understood Gu Taishou just thought he was making up nonsense again.

"What did I just say? I'm not alone," Gu Yuanting probably also had the joy of teasing young people with the Yuanzan pen, especially the Yuanzan pen, which is so watertight. "It's probably not the inside that can change your face Crying and howling child," he didn't hide this sentence, Xiaoxue could hear it clearly from inside, but she didn't have any intention of stopping her voice, instead she screamed even more miserable, like killing a pig, "Is it your careless little lover?"

As Gu Yuanting got closer, he seemed to be able to see clearly the distinct eyelashes of Yuan Zan's pen, but he bumped into something that was still steaming.

He bowed his head, and it was tea from Yuan Zan's pen.

"Prefect," Yuan Zanbi handed the tea to Gu Yuanting, "The tea is getting cold."

Gu Yuanting took the teacup, "It's not hot enough, there just happened to be a guest, change the pot and bring a new one."

He straightened up smiling, and said, "Qiao Xiang, what a coincidence."
