The doctor said I can only eat soft rice

Chi Ruanfan woke up from his sleep, feeling a little dizzy.

I'm afraid I drank too much last night.

Since Uncle Wang left, he had to drink a glass of wine every day before going to bed so that he could sleep peacefully at night.

Opening his eyes, the dragon couch was as empty as ever, only him.

Chi Ruanfan didn't like such an empty dragon couch, he had no intention of staying in bed at all, so he sat up and put on the dragon robe under the service of the palace servants.

Gradually, Chi Ruanfan felt something was wrong.

Why does the palace attendant seem to have changed?

Looking carefully, they were all familiar people, and he could even call out their names, as if they had served him by his side for many years.

Chi Ruanfan raised his hand and rubbed his forehead.

After Uncle Wang left, his mind became more and more difficult.

After all, it is old.

Just as he was thinking, a little eunuch brought hot water for washing his hands.

Chi Ruanfan stretched out his hand habitually, but before his hand touched the water, he stopped.

Slowly moving his hand away, Chi Ruanfan looked at his reflection in the water, his eyes suddenly widened.

Exquisite and handsome eyebrows, smooth skin without a trace of wrinkle, black hair...

The person reflected in the water is clearly a young man in his early twenties!

This is himself in his youth.

Chi Ruanfan looked around at the surrounding palace people.

There was no abnormality on these people's faces, as if they were serving a young emperor instead of an old emperor.

Chi Ruanfan opened his eyes slightly.

He remembered!

He knew why these palace people had changed a batch, but they still made him feel very familiar.

Because they were not the people arranged for him by the regent in this life, but the palace servants who served by his side in the previous life!

He went back to the past, back to the previous life!

Chi Ruanfan's hands trembled slightly, and he forced himself to ask calmly:

"How old is Chaokang now?"

The chief eunuch replied softly:

"Return to Your Majesty, last night just passed the New Year's Eve, and now it's Chaokang's 11th year."

Chaokang for 11 years.

The No.11 year of his accession to the throne, the sixth year of his pro-government.

Chi Ruanfan turned his head, and through the half-opened window, under the reflection of the palace lantern, he saw the snowy palace outside.

"Where's the Regent?"

Chi Ruanfan's hands stopped trembling, but his voice was trembling.

There is an earth dragon for heating in the Mingming Hall, but he feels that the blood in his body is as cold as the ice and snow outside.

In the previous life, the regent died on a snowy night at the beginning of Chaokang's 11th year.

All the things that he deliberately ignored and didn't think about in the past came to mind.

He fought with the regent, Jin Guo took the opportunity to go to war, and the regent led his troops to the expedition.

When the regent returned, the palace and court were already under his control.

It didn't take long for him to overthrow the regent and put him under house arrest in the regent's mansion.

In the next few years, he devoted himself to the government and worked hard to govern, and finally wiped out the Turks, who had a growing appetite, and abolished the coveted Jin Kingdom.

The Great Jin Dynasty was unprecedentedly strong, the whole country celebrated with joy, and the subjects shouted long live. He had the most comfortable year since he took the throne.

Afterwards, the imperial guards guarding the Prince Regent's Mansion came to report, and the Prince Regent went...

The emperor's question made the chief eunuch pause, not knowing how to answer it.

There was only one Prince Regent in the Jin Dynasty, and he knew who His Majesty was asking.

But everyone knew that today's son had been humiliated for many years under the oppression of that person.

Since His Majesty took charge personally, the regent is a taboo that cannot be mentioned in the palace.

But after a momentary pause, the chief eunuch received the emperor's stare as if he was about to kill someone, and he hurriedly said:

"Returning to Your Majesty, Prince Jin is under house arrest in the palace. At this time, he should be in the palace."

When today's son came into power, for some reason, he didn't deprive that man of the title of Prince Regent, but the chief eunuch did not dare to call him Prince Regent in front of His Majesty, he only dared to call him Prince Jin.

"In the palace..." Hearing this answer, Chi Ruanfan felt that his body was not so cold and stiff.

Fortunately, Uncle Wang is still alive.

Or... the imperial guards hadn't had time to bring the news of Uncle Wang's death to the palace.

Thinking of this possibility, Chi Ruanfan didn't even bother to take a shower, and hurried out without shoes on.

"Prepare chariots and horses, go to the Prince Regent's Mansion!"

The chief eunuch had no time to dissuade him, so he put on the emperor's boots, belt, fox fur, etc., and chased after him.

"Your Majesty! Morning time is almost here."

"The imperial court is over today!" Chi Ruanfan said without turning his head.

All the palace guards who heard this were shocked.

Since His Majesty took power, except for the one-day rest every year during the Qianqiu Festival, the court meeting has never stopped.

Today, His Majesty is leaving court.

Chi Ruanfan got into the carriage of the Prince Regent's Mansion.

The eunuch stuffed a hand warmer into his arms, then squatted down, warmed his feet and put on his shoes, while still muttering "Your Majesty has a body of gold, how can you not take care of your body like this" and so on.

Chi Ruanfan couldn't hear any sound, he opened the curtains, looked at the scenery outside, and urged the guards driving to speed up from time to time.

In the previous life, Uncle Wang died quietly in a place where he could not see. Afterwards, he found out that he could do nothing.

God asked him to return to Chaokang for another 11 years, but he must not let Uncle Wang die again.

He couldn't bear such a blow any longer.

"Your Majesty, King Jin's Mansion has arrived."

As soon as the guard's words were spoken, the emperor opened the curtain of the car and jumped down.

The guards in front of the palace gate were originally palace guards, and Chi Ruanfan entered the Prince Regent's palace without any hindrance.

The steward of the palace heard the sound and was stunned for a moment when he saw the bright yellow dragon robe. He was about to bow down, but the emperor who strode forward grabbed his arm.

"Where is the regent?" Chi Ruanfan asked eagerly.

"Go back, Your Majesty, the prince hasn't got up yet." The steward replied.

Have you not gotten up, or have you gone but no one knows?

Chi Ruanfan didn't dare to let go, withdrew his hand, and walked in quickly.

In the life when he and Uncle Wang were in love all their lives, Uncle Wang had brought him to the Prince Regent's Mansion, and he knew where Uncle Wang usually lived.

"Your Majesty, please slow down." The chief eunuch chased after him with his fox fur in his arms.

The declining palace is different from the imperial palace. The thick snow on the ground is not swept away. If the emperor falls, how can he afford it!

The Chinese New Year has just passed, but there is no Chinese New Year atmosphere in the Prince Regent's Mansion, there are not even a few people to be seen, it is extremely deserted.

Chi Ruanfan walked through the silent courtyard corridor, and finally came to the king regent's bedroom, and kicked the door open.

Amidst the creaking sound of the door, Chi Ruanfan saw Jin Zhu who seemed to have just sat up from the couch.

Jinzhu was thinner than Chi Ruanfan remembered, and the white undershirt looked a little empty on him.

Sitting on the couch, he looked up, his eyes were in a daze, as if he was still in a dream.

A gust of wind blew into the room from behind Chi Ruanfan, Jin Zhu covered her mouth and coughed twice.

Chi Ruanfan came back to his senses, walked quickly into the house, and slammed the door shut.

He remembered that after Uncle Wang came back from the expedition, he suffered from injuries and could not stand the cold or the wind.

The head eunuch who finally caught up with him said, "Your Majesty..."

The door closed before his eyes.

There were only the two of them left in the house.

Chi Ruanfan walked towards Jinzhu step by step.

Seeing that Jin Zhu was about to stand up and salute, Chi Ruanfan quickened his pace, came to the side of the couch, hugged him suddenly, and tightened his arms.

Happiness, fear, lost and found, nostalgia...all emotions are melted into this hug.

Jin Zhu paused for a moment, raised his hand subconsciously, and stopped when he was about to touch the emperor's shoulder.

"His Majesty."

He called in a low voice, unable to hear any emotion.

Chi Ruanfan's nose was sore from being called out, and he buried his face into Jinzhu's neck, his voice choked up slightly.

"Uncle Wang...I miss you so much."

The eyes are a little hot.

Chi Ruanfan also couldn't tell whether this was his longing for Uncle Wang after he left him, or the lonely longing buried deep in his heart when he lost Uncle Wang early in his previous life.

The emperor lost his temper...

Jin Zhu's hand hanging in mid-air fell down, and gently embraced the person on her body, her eyes were a little more bewildered.

After hugging like this for quite a while, Chi Ruanfan gradually recovered.

With his red eyes open, he lightly rubbed against Jin Zhu's shoulder.

In fact, he wanted to kiss the regent.

Kissing until both of them were close to suffocation, the only way to vent his turbulent emotions.

But no, he can't do that.

In this life, he and Uncle Wang are not lovers, and their relationship is very bad.

Chi Ruanfan's hand was a little numb, he didn't want to let go of Jin Zhu, so he just moved that hand, from Jin Zhu's waist to the other shoulder.

With the change of hand position, Chi Ruanfan felt the coldness of Jin Zhu's body.

Chi Ruanfan backed away slightly, pulled up the quilt to wrap Jinzhu around.

Feeling that it was not enough, I looked around for something to warm up, but I only saw a pot of charcoal fire that had been extinguished by the couch.

Chi Ruanfan frowned slightly.

The room was so cold that even he could feel the cold, not to mention the injured King Regent who couldn't catch the cold.

"Why didn't the earth dragon be burned in Uncle Wang's mansion?" When Chi Ruanfan asked this question, his expression darkened.

It is true that he put the regent under house arrest in the mansion, but he did not prohibit the mansion from purchasing.

There is no shortage of gold, silver and jade in Nuoda's palace, and it is absolutely impossible that even an earth dragon cannot be burned.

Could it be that someone treated the regent harshly?

Jin Zhu glanced at the emperor, as if he didn't understand where his anger came from, "The criminal..."

"I didn't convict you!" Chi Ruanfan said immediately.

He removed the Prince Regent's henchmen and allowed him to be confined to the Prince Regent's House. Apart from that, he had no other punishment.

At that time, he thought, although the regent trapped him in the palace and made him a puppet emperor for many years, it was the regent who brought him out of the cold palace, helped him ascend to the throne, and gave him wealth and glory that he could not even imagine before. .

He returned everything to the regent.

He was imprisoned all his life, and he was also fed with rich clothes and fine delicacies.

But now...Looking at the cold and dark room, recalling when he hugged the Prince Regent just now, and feeling his weight loss, Chi Ruanfan was so angry that he was about to explode.

Obviously it shouldn't be like this.

Jin Zhu pursed her lower lip, swallowed the title, and didn't say anything more.

"Come on!"

Chi Ruanfan turned his head and shouted to the outside: "Light up the earth dragon, light up the charcoal fire!"

When the chief eunuch came in with a charcoal basin, Chi Ruanfan frowned again.

He turned his head, looked at Jinzhu who was dressing himself, and changed his words:

"Forget it, Uncle Wang will follow me back to the palace."

The Prince Regent's Mansion is too far away, he is afraid that he will not be able to take care of Uncle Wang.

He had to put Uncle Wang under his nose to be at ease.

Jin Zhu slightly paused with the hand holding the outer robe.

Chi Ruanfan reached out to take it, shook off the robe, and put it on for him.

The emperor helps people dress, which is too appalling.

Jin Zhu froze, and the chief eunuch hurried forward to take over the emperor's work.

Chi Ruanfan didn't want to let it go, but the eunuch chief eunuch did a better job of serving people to dress.

After so many years, he still can only take off his clothes but not put them on.

When Jin Zhu was fully dressed, Chi Ruanfan took his own fox fur, put it on Jin Zhu, and said:

"What do you want to bring, let..."

Chi Ruanfan glanced at the chief eunuch, found his name from deep in his memory, and continued:

"Let Xiao Weizi clean up for you."

Seeing that the emperor really wanted to take him to the palace, Jin Zhu had no choice but to remind:

"Your Majesty, the minister is still grounded."

Chi Ruanfan held Jin Zhu's cold hands, and held both hands in his palms, trying to warm them up with his body temperature.

Hearing this, he said: "Then change to another place for grounding."

Jin Zhu looked at the emperor's movements with doubts on his expression.

After a few breaths, he withdrew his hand, frowned and looked at the door, and said, "I don't have anything to bring."

"Okay." Chi Ruanfan didn't care, anyway, the palace has everything, and clothes, shoes and socks can be directly made new.

He raised his hand, put a fox fur hat on Jin Zhu, and walked out with his arms, trying not to let Jin Zhu get a little wind.

Jinzhu's movements were stiff.

He was about the same height as the emperor, but the emperor buried his head in front of his chest with one hand, and walked out with his back around his back.

Such a walking posture, as if a newlywed wife is shyly hiding in her husband's arms.

The emperor came out of the Regent's Palace with a person in his arms.

The leader of the imperial guard immediately stepped forward to greet him.

He still has some doubts in his heart.

The Prince Regent’s Mansion dismissed the family servants a few years ago, leaving only a few loyal old servants, why did His Majesty bring the female family members out of the Palace?

Judging by the intimacy between His Majesty and this "woman", I'm afraid they have an unusual relationship.

Could it be that the Prince Regent has other hidden forces?They were also so bold that they took His Majesty's woman into the Prince Regent's Palace.

The commander of the imperial guards looked at the imperial guards who were in charge of guarding the Prince Regent's mansion with serious eyes.

The imperial guards were already trembling with shock.

Letting people without sacred orders enter the Prince Regent's Palace, but they have neglected their duties, not to mention disturbing His Majesty. I'm afraid they will spend their next life in the fields of Huangzhuang.

Director Wei came out after the emperor, and said to the guards:

"Your Majesty brought Prince Jin into the palace, so you don't need to guard it."

All the guards: "??!"

The one nestled in His Majesty's arms is the regent? !

Inside the carriage, Chi Ruanfan pressed the hand warmer on the side, and seeing that it had lost its heat, he reached out and took the regent's hand to cover it.

He could clearly feel the weakness of the regent's body now.

Usually, the Prince Regent's hands and feet are warm in the cold winter, and he likes to be picked up and held when he is watching the snow scene.

Now, the regent's hand is like a piece of ice, and he can't cover it with heat.

Jin Zhu's fingers moved, feeling the suppressing force from the emperor's hand, he stopped and did not withdraw his hand again.

Back to the palace.

Chi Ruanfan asked Jinzhu to sit in the warmest hall, asked the palace servants to bring a new hot water bottle, wrapped it in a rabbit fur bag, held it for Jinzhu, and then called the imperial doctor to treat her body.

The imperial doctor diagnosed the Prince Regent's pulse, with many thoughts in his mind.

Why did His Majesty bring this person into the palace?He was also asked to come for diagnosis and treatment, so what should he say?Worry.

Seeing that the imperial doctor was silent for a while, Chi Ruanfan said:

"I want you to do your best to cure the regent. If you have any problems, please tell the truth."

The imperial doctor withdrew his hand and respectfully replied to the emperor:

"Your Majesty, this is an old disease of the prince, which is difficult to cure. In recent days, the cold air has entered the body and hurt the body. Now we can only take care of it slowly."

"Okay, tell me how to take care of it." Chi Ruanfan said.

The imperial doctor said in a low voice for a moment, "I prescribe a dose of medicine, drink it for a few days before watching it. Next, please refrain from eating cold food, keep warm on weekdays, and don't catch cold or wind..."

Chi Ruanfan wrote down all the things to pay attention to, then got up and thanked the imperial doctor, and sent him away.

Jinzhu didn't respond at all.

When the emperor came back, he just raised his eyes and looked at him quietly.

Chi Ruanfan sat down beside Jin Zhu, reached into the rabbit fur kettle, and held Jin Zhu's hot hand.

A chaotic heart suddenly settled down.

The two sat quietly for a long time, until Director Wei came in and gently reminded the emperor to eat.

Chi Ruanfan withdrew his hand and smiled at Jin Zhu:

"Uncle Wang, come and eat with me."

He still doesn't know how to get along with the present Jinzhu, so he can only carefully grasp the distance between the two of them.

Jin Zhu put down the kettle and ate with the emperor.

During the meal, the emperor picked dishes for him nine times, and each time he picked them naturally, as if it had become a habit.

Jin Zhu ate every dish slowly.

After finishing the meal, he took the initiative to ask: "Where does Your Majesty want to restrain the minister?"

Jin Zhu guessed that he would be in limbo.

He met the emperor in the cold palace back then, and with the emperor's temperament, it is very likely that he will be locked in the cold palace and let him live the life the emperor lived in those days.

If it's not the cold palace, or other idle palaces, he doesn't care.

Anyway, it is impossible for the emperor to ground him in the emperor's bedroom.

"Of course Chaoyang Palace, where else do you want to go?" Chi Ruanfan answered naturally.

Seeing the astonishment in Jin Zhu's calm eyes, Chi Ruanfan realized that he was a little too impatient.

He thought for a while, and reluctantly said:

"Wei Zi, clean up the side hall on the east side and give it to the regent."

Seeing the real Uncle Wang again, but not being able to share the same bed with Uncle Wang, made Chi Ruanfan a little unhappy.

Manager Wei said tremblingly:

"Your Majesty, there has never been a precedent for a former courtier to be confined to the emperor's palace."

What's more, Prince Jin is still a "criminal minister", a criminal minister who was born as a general.

If he attacked His Majesty at night, the consequences would be disastrous.

Chi Ruanfan didn't care, "There will be in the future."

Aren't things like precedents created by people?

He looked at Jinzhu and said, "Uncle Wang will stay in Chaoyang Palace from now on."

"I... obey the order." Jin Zhu bowed his head and said.

Chi Ruanfan helped to decorate the regent's residence.

The warmest brocade quilt, the most comfortable pillow, and some treasures were taken from the national treasury for decoration, and the Shangyi Bureau made tailor-made clothes for Jinzhu.

After some busy work, it was already afternoon.

Chi Ruanfan let the regent take a good rest while he went to the imperial study.

He wanted to stay by the regent's side all the time, but he was no longer the puppet emperor who was favored by his uncle and didn't have to worry about everything.

He has to review memorials, deal with government affairs, and govern the country.

Chi Ruanfan stayed in the imperial study for a long time.

He was very handy in reviewing his memorials.

Chi Ruanfan still had some vague impressions of those important events that happened that year. If they were mentioned in the memorial, he could quickly think of them and come up with a solution.

Time is mostly spent getting to know who and what is present.

He can't even remember who the current six ministers are.

After seeing those names, he could still remember them, and he could even name the major achievements and mistakes in that person's life.

But the problem came again.

He does not know which achievements they have achieved, which achievements they will achieve in the future, and which mistakes they are about to make.

When Chi Ruanfan sorted out these complicated people and events, it was already late at night.

He squeezed his forehead a little tiredly, and drove back to Chaoyang Palace.

Entering the hall, Chi Ruanfan took off the fox fur and handed it to the little eunuch beside him.

He glanced in the direction of the side hall on the east side, afraid of disturbing Jinzhu, he lowered his voice and asked:

"Has the Regent rested?"

Gong Ren said: "Not yet."

Chi Ruanfan was just asking casually, anyway, no matter what the palace servants answered, he would visit the regent later.

Who would have thought that the regent really didn't sleep.

What time is it, and you still haven't rested!

Chi Ruanfan quickly walked into the side hall on the east side, and first looked at the bed.

There was no one on the couch, and the brocade quilt was neatly folded, as if it had never been touched.

Looking around the hall, Chi Ruanfan saw Jinzhu sitting by the window.

The windows were still open, and there were cotton-like snowflakes drifting into the hall with the wind.

Chi Ruanfan was furious, and quickly walked over to close the window.

He leaned over and grabbed the clothes on Jin Zhu's shoulders, his chest heaved, it took him a long time to hold back his anger, and he gritted his teeth and said:

"Don't you know what's going on with your body? The cold wind is still blowing by the window!"

Jin Zhu looked up at him with puzzlement in his eyes, "Your Majesty is angry? Why?"

"Why do you say?" Chi Ruanfan leaned over and approached, "You trampled on your body like this, I, I..."

Chi Ruanfan suddenly found himself unable to explain.

It is only natural that he feels distressed and angry because his loved one violated his body.

But in the eyes of Jin Zhu at this time, they don't have that kind of relationship, they are even enemies.

Chi Ruanfan was unable to let go of his hand.

Pressing his forehead against Jin Zhu's, he quietly calmed down the surging emotions in his chest.

He has to take his time.

Treat Uncle Wang slowly, turn your love into warm water, warm Uncle Wang a little bit, instead of turning it into fire, burning Uncle Wang with pain.

After a long time, Chi Ruanfan opened his eyes, stood up straight, smoothed the folds of the clothes on Jin Zhu's shoulders, and said:

"Uncle Wang, it's late, let's rest."

Jin Zhu stared at Huichi Ruan Fan, didn't insist anymore, undressed and got on the couch.

Chi Ruanfan sat on the side of the couch, leaned over to cover the brocade bamboo quilt, and carefully tucked in the corners of the quilt.

When he raised his eyes, his eyes fell on Jin Zhu's bloodless lips, and his movements paused for a moment.

He wanted to kiss him again.

Chi Ruanfan looked away, got up and took a step back, and said: "Uncle Wang, rest well, if you need anything, call the palace man, you can call me, I'm in the south hall."

Jin Zhu lowered her eyes, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Chi Ruanfan returned to his hall.

He has nothing else to ask for in this life, only wishing to live a peaceful and peaceful life with Uncle Wang.

Even if he has to pay the price of working hard for the government every day, it doesn't matter.

It's just that the days that followed were not peaceful and peaceful.

Chi Ruanfan was caught countless times by himself, or was reported by the palace servants:

The regent blows the cold wind by the window, the regent drinks cold tea, the regent refuses to eat, and the regent sits on the couch at night and does not sleep.

Chi Ruanfan said it several times to no avail, even if Jin Zhu had promised well in front of him, she would continue to commit crimes afterwards.

A few days later, Chi Ruanfan asked the palace staff to nail the windows of the Prince Regent's room to death; asked the palace staff to keep watch at all times to ensure that the tea that the Prince Regent had access to was hot; he himself stared at the Prince Regent for meals; he brought a pillow She shared the bed with the Prince Regent and slept with him in her arms.

After all the measures were implemented, Jin Zhu settled down for a while.

It's just that Jinzhu stays in Chaoyang Hall every day and doesn't go out at all.

Chi Ruanfan was afraid that he would be bored, so he said that he would not be restricted from walking around in the palace, and let him go out to relax when the weather was better.

So there was another problem.

In the cold weather, Jinzhu ran to the Huxin Pavilion to relax.

When Chi Ruanfan found him, Jin Zhu's skin was almost green from the cold.

When he went back that time, Jin Zhu fell ill and took half a month to recover.

Chi Ruanfan took care of him day and night, and all the memorials were moved to Chaoyang Hall for processing.

After recovering from illness, Jin Zhu's first words were:

"Why doesn't Your Majesty let the minister die?"

As early as half a month ago, Chi Ruanfan had already guessed Jin Zhu's intention of all kinds of troubles, but when he really heard Jin Zhu say these words, he still felt a chill shrouded in his heart.

Jin Zhu is looking for death.

It started when he brought Jinzhu back to the palace, or maybe even earlier.

In the severe winter, the Prince Regent's Mansion did not burn the earth dragon, and there was only a bedroom with a charcoal basin that had lost its temperature... At that time, Jin Zhu was looking for death.

Chi Ruanfan did not answer.

He put down the memorial, took the soup and medicine, and fed Jinzhu himself.

Jin Zhu pursed her lips and turned her head sideways.

"Uncle Wang, drink this medicine obediently, don't force me." Chi Ruanfan said slowly.

Jin Zhu closed his eyes, waiting for the emperor's wrath to descend.

He might be executed, or he might be thrown far away by the emperor, out of sight and out of mind.

Chi Ruanfan put down the soup and medicine, and asked all the palace people in the palace to evacuate.

Only he and Jinzhu were left in the hall.

Chi Ruanfan stood up, staring at the pale and thin man on the couch, raised his hand and slowly took off the dragon robe that he hadn't had time to change just now.

Jin Zhu heard the sound of cloth rubbing, opened his eyes, and saw the emperor lifted the brocade quilt and pressed it on him.

Chi Ruanfan leaned over and whispered in Jinzhu's ear:

"Uncle Wang, hate me."

——If my love for you cannot make you feel memorable about this world, then use your hatred for me to increase your will to survive.

Chi Ruanfan knew that the regent at this time hated him.

It was he who caused the other party to lose their power and fell into a state of decline.

The regent may want revenge on him, wanting to regain power.

Therefore, in the first few years when he was in power, the regent lived well.

Until the news that the generals he sent had destroyed the Turks spread to Beijing, the regent saw no hope of successful revenge, so he wished to die.

This month, Chi Ruanfan and Jin Zhu fell asleep together, but they didn't completely hand over their lives to the Regent's hands. His Qianlong Guard had been guarding in the dark to protect his safety.

Qianlongwei, sneaking in the dark, protecting the emperor.

This is the organization established after he took office.

According to reports from the Qianlong Guard who guards him every day, after he fell asleep every night, the regent would open his eyes and stare at him for a long time.

Chi Ruanfan didn't know why Jin Zhu didn't attack him.

Maybe it's because of his high martial arts skills, and he knows that Qianlongwei is watching; maybe he knows that even if he kills him, he himself will not be able to regain power; or maybe it's for the sake of the people of the world, for him.

His Uncle Wang has always been a soft-hearted person, soft-hearted towards the people, and soft-hearted towards him.

"Uncle Wang, does it hurt?" Chi Ruanfan asked behind Jinzhu's ear.

Jin Zhu closed her eyes tightly, gritted her teeth and remained silent.Only his sweat-soaked temples showed how much pain he was enduring.

Chi Ruanfan wiped off his sweat for him, and said softly, "If it hurts, hate me more."

The more you hate him, the more you want to kill him, the stronger your will to survive will arise, and you will be reluctant to die.

Chi Ruanfan cleaned up Jin Zhu, and stayed with him by the couch for a long time, even if Jin Zhu still refused to look at him, he didn't care.

This meant that the regent hated him to the extreme, and was afraid that he would show killing intent when he opened his eyes.

"Uncle Wang, the soup, medicine and meals are on the table. Eat some after you have rested. I will come back at night."

Chi Ruanfan got up and went to the study next door to review the memorial.

Before leaving, he made a gesture to tell Qianlongwei to keep an eye on the regent, and not let him do anything that would hurt himself.

Chi Ruanfan was flipping through the memorial, when Director Wei reported in a low voice that the regent had finished the soup, medicine and meals.

Chi Ruanfan smiled with satisfaction, the smile was not as deep as his eyes, and filled with bitterness.

He wanted to be nice to Uncle Wang and live a stable life with Uncle Wang, but in the end, he became the person who hurt Uncle Wang the most.

When Chi Ruanfan returned after reviewing the memorial, Jin Zhu had already fallen asleep, and slept deeply.

Apparently, the experience during the day exhausted the regent's little energy. The regent was so exhausted that he didn't even notice that he was close to him.

He moved lightly, took off his coat, and lay down beside Jin Zhu.

As soon as she lay down, Jin Zhu rolled into his arms, her cheek was pressed against his shoulder, and she rubbed gently, with a desire for warmth.

Chi Ruanfan paused slightly.

The regent was not awake.

Of course he wasn't awake, and he would never act like this when he was awake.

If the regent was awake, he would probably gnash his teeth at him, wishing to have his tendons and eat his flesh.

Chi Ruanfan stretched out his arms to embrace Jinzhu.

The regent's body is always very cold, even in the temple where the earth dragon is burning, it is as cold as lying in the snow.

Chi Ruanfan hugged Jinzhu as much as possible, and then hugged him tighter.

Cover it with body temperature.

The next day, Chi Ruanfan got up and prepared to go to court.

Jin Zhu also woke up.

Instead of lying quietly as usual, waiting for Chi Ruanfan to leave, he sat up and helped Chi Ruanfan get dressed.

Chi Ruanfan looked at him in surprise.

His Uncle Wang is going to endure the humiliation?

When Jinzhu was about to stay with him, Chi Ruanfan pushed him back, covered him with a quilt, and softly instructed:

"Uncle Wang will rest again, remember to take medicine and have breakfast later, I will come back early today to accompany Uncle Wang."

The last sentence was what the regent often said to him in the past.

Now the identities of the two have changed, and it has become him talking to the regent.

·

The regent stopped trying to seek death, and began to recuperate his body according to the doctor's advice.

I no longer deliberately alienate the emperor, and I can occasionally chat with the emperor and talk about government affairs.

Chi Ruanfan is also quietly changing the way he treats him according to the regent's attitude.

If the regent gets close to him quietly, chats with him, and becomes interested in government affairs, it means that the other party has the will to survive and is waiting to give him a fatal blow at the right time.

At this time, we should not be too pressing on the regent, and we should pay more attention to propriety.

If the regent talks less, doesn't talk to him very much, and loses interest in the government, it means that the other party doesn't want to live anymore.

At this time, he had to press every step of the way, repeat the treatment that day, let the regent remember the humiliation he brought him, and arouse the regent's hatred and will to survive.

Not long after the plan was implemented, Chi Ruanfan found that the attitude of the regent was hopping between the two.

It was as if the regent was testing his reaction on purpose.

Chi Ruanfan had no choice but to drag Jinzhu to the couch to deepen his hatred for him.

"Your Majesty!" Director Wei reported loudly from the outside: "Floods have occurred in Jiangzhou! All ministers are already waiting outside the imperial study."

Chi Ruanfan stopped.

flood...

Even if he did everything he could do based on the memory and experience of the previous two lives, he couldn't prevent the flood from happening after all.

Chi Ruanfan apologized to Jinzhu, put on his robes, and went to the imperial study.

Jin Zhu waited until he heard the emperor's footsteps leaving, and then slowly opened his eyes.

In a pair of ink-like eyes, there is no hatred, no humiliation, only intoxicated nostalgia, and a trace of worry.

Jin Zhu moved his body, leaned out from the couch, and stretched out his hand to pick up the robe on the floor.

But today the emperor found out that he wanted to welcome but refused, and was very annoyed. He threw the clothes with great strength, but he couldn't pick them up.

But if for this matter, the palace servants were called in to help, he would not be able to speak.

Just as he was hesitating, a black figure appeared on the ground, picked up the robe and belt, held it in both hands, and handed it to him.

Jin Zhu raised his eyes, his eyes flicked across the dark lines on the cuffs of the man in black representing the royal guards, and finally fell on the face of the man who was so ordinary that it was hard to impress.

Jin Zhu concentrated on recalling for a moment, then a flash of clarity flashed in his eyes,

"It is you."

The person who has been staring at him since he entered the palace.

The emperor's secret guard.

It was also the person he had single-handedly cultivated back then, and who deliberately stayed in the imperial army before going out for the expedition.

What a coincidence.

Jin Zhu reached out to take the robe.

The black-clothed Qianlongwei waited for him to dress neatly before raising his downcast eyes and saying:

"Does the prince want to leave the palace?"

Jin Zhu's gaze sharpened suddenly, and he looked up at the man, "You want to let me go?"

"No, I am loyal to His Majesty."

Qian Longwei said: "If the prince wants to leave, I will stop you even if I risk my life."

After saying this, Qianlongwei quietly returned to the dark place.

Is this warning him not to think of running away?

Jin Zhu fell back and lay face up on the couch.

But...he never thought of leaving.

A few months ago, he really wanted to die.

The little emperor back then had grown up, able to stand alone and make all the officials and common people submit.

That day, when a group of soldiers defeated the Turks and returned from a great victory, the people in Beijing shouted long live, and he knew that he could go away with peace of mind.

His body was afraid of the cold, so he deliberately asked the old servant to stop the earth dragon and stop sending charcoal fire.

The winter of this year was extremely cold, and Jin Zhu was ready to leave quietly on a certain winter night.

In those few days, he often dreamed of the emperor.

Sometimes it's the scene where they first meet.

At that time, the emperor was still the ninth prince trapped in the cold palace.

The young prince was born with an outstanding appearance, even if he was wearing tattered clothes, his brilliance was dazzling.

The little prince lay on the wall of the cold palace, looked at him curiously, and said, "Who are you? There is no one in the palace wearing clothes like yours."

He looked up at the child on the palace wall, and replied with a smile:

"King of Zhennan, Jinzhu."

"Ah," the little prince said happily, "You are my uncle."

More often, he dreamed of the emperor in dragon robes.

The emperor called him "Regent" coldly and distantly.

Such dreams are usually not very pleasant, but if he can see the emperor, he is willing to sleep all the time.

Suddenly one day, hurried footsteps came from outside his yard, which woke him up from his sleep.

He sat up a little displeased, and the door was kicked open, and the bright yellow dragon robe came into his eyes.

For a moment, Jin Zhu couldn't tell whether it was a dream or reality.

If it is a dream, then it is naturally good, he can see the emperor more.

If it is true, why would the emperor come to the Prince Regent's Mansion just to... kill him?

The emperor didn't kill him, but called him "Uncle Wang", brought him back to the palace, recuperated his body, cared about his daily life, and looked at him with pity and attachment.

This is more like a dream than a dream.
