High Ridge Flower Rescue Project

Xi Hua did not expect that his small action would cause the former court to explode the next day.

"Which palace is His Majesty favoring? Why is it not recorded in the living book?"

"If Your Majesty really likes it, give this palace man a title and keep him in the harem."

"At your majesty's age, it is indeed time for young Muai, but your majesty is weak, and you need to be restrained when recruiting palace people..."

"His Majesty......"

Every word from the officials instantly turned the tall and stately council hall into a vegetable market at the entrance of the street.

Everyone quarreled for a while, and found that the prime minister seemed to be a little more silent today.

Shouldn't it be?

It was the prime minister's initiative to let His Majesty get married this morning. There were so many beautiful girls from famous families before, but no one was found that His Majesty liked.

Now that His Majesty can even favor the palace people, doesn't it mean that the royal family is flourishing and there is hope for successors?

The old prime minister should be happy, right?Why do you look so worried...

Everyone looked at each other, all a little puzzled.

Xi Hua sat in the top position, carefully reducing his sense of presence and not participating in their dispute.

He held his forehead helplessly, feeling that he was about to lose face in front of others.

I was still too careless last night, forgetting how many pairs of eyes are staring at me now.

At that time, I felt comfortable and clean.

Who knew that all these troublesome things were waiting for him.

And listening to the conversations about maids, titles, and heirs among the crowd, Xi Hua couldn't help but think in his heart, if I really let you know who it was last night, it wouldn't scare you all to death.

It's just that Xi Hua felt more guilty when he looked at the silent old prime minister.

He was sure that the old prime minister must have guessed something, or simply knew what happened last night...

Well, what should I do?

Xi Hua moved her butt sadly.

......

That night, Lin Fanqing did not come back as expected.

The next day, news came from the prime minister's mansion that the old prime minister had fallen ill.

The illness seemed to be extremely severe, and the old man who was originally hale and hearty turned out to be bedridden overnight.

The imperial physician in the palace went to treat the old prime minister, only saying that he was afraid that it was caused by depression and a little stimulation.

The old prime minister is heartbroken.

Both Xi Hua and Lin Fanqing understood this.

After waiting in the palace for two days, the old prime minister's condition still showed no signs of improvement, and even heard from the imperial doctor that he didn't even get much water or rice.

Xi Hua couldn't sit still any longer, and was going out of the palace to visit with a few people.

The matter of Xi Hua's leaving the palace was not done with much fanfare, it was considered to be traveling in low clothes, and entered the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion as low-key as possible.

Xi Hua met Lin Fanqing first.

Lin Fanqing seemed to have lost weight a lot in the past few days, and his complexion didn't look very good.

When he saw Xi Hua, he forced a smile, and quickly lowered his eyelashes.

Lin Fanqing's brows and eyes were a little tired, and he said shallowly: "Your Majesty is here to visit grandfather, right? Please come with me."

Xi Hua felt as if something had grabbed her heart, and she felt unspeakably uncomfortable.

Silently followed Lin Fanqing through the corridor and came to a yard.

The courtyard was very quiet, because Xi Hua didn't want to disturb others, so the servants just regarded it as another distinguished guest, and still went about their own business.

Lin Fanqing opened the door of a room and turned slightly sideways.

Xi Hua knew that this was the old prime minister's room.

He glanced at Lin Fanqing, then stepped in.

There was a smell of medicine in the room. The servants saw that a young master he did not know came in. Just as he was about to make a sound, he saw Lin Fanqing standing behind the young master.

Lin Fanqing shook his head at them, signaling to keep quiet, and at the same time waved his hands to let them all go down first.

The old prime minister seemed to be sleeping and hadn't woken up yet.

Xi Hua came to the bedside, looked at the old prime minister with his eyes tightly closed, suddenly felt a sore nose, and quickly turned his head away.

He wanted to open his mouth to ask something, but he was afraid of waking up the old prime minister.

Every time the old prime minister appeared in the palace, he was full of energy.

Xi Hua had never seen him so weak.

To be honest, Xi Hua would rather the old prime minister stand up and scold himself to relieve his anger than just lie on the bed so depressed.

Xi Hua recovered his breath, and was about to wait aside first with Lin Fanqing.

A somewhat old voice came, "Your Majesty?"

Xi Hua turned around quickly, and held down the old prime minister who was struggling to get up, "It's me, you should lie down quickly, so don't be too polite."

The old prime minister held Xi Hua's hand tightly, looked at Lin Fanqing who was standing aside, and his expression immediately turned bad, "You go out first, I have something to say to Your Majesty."

Lin Fanqing's body seemed to shake, and there was a hint of pleading in his voice, "Grandfather..."

The old prime minister turned his face away from Lin Fanqing, "Get out!"

Xi Hua was afraid that Lin Fanqing would argue with the old prime minister again at this time, although he couldn't bear it, he still said, "Master Lin, go out and wait for a while."

Xi Hua knew that the old prime minister deliberately dismissed Lin Fanqing, so he must have something to say to him alone.

But at this time, he was also very disturbed and confused.

If at this time, the old prime minister asked him to sever ties with Lin Fanqing, Xi Hua really didn't know what to do.

After Lin Fanqing went out, the old prime minister forced himself to sit up halfway.

Xi Hua couldn't stop him, so he had to slowly pat the old prime minister on the back to give him comfort.

After a while, the old prime minister asked, "Your Majesty, I just want to ask one thing..."

Xi Hua's heart rose instantly, "Prime Minister, please tell me."

The old prime minister closed his eyes, as if he had made up his mind, "Did Fan Qing force you between you and Fan Qing?"

After the old prime minister finished speaking, he stared at Xi Hua's face closely, as if as long as Xi Hua nodded, he could immediately kill Lin Fanqing to Dayi.

Xi Hua swallowed nervously, a little ashamed to speak, but still whispered: "Master Lin, I didn't force you..."

Although the relationship between him and Lin Fanqing was a bit unilateral and coercive at the beginning, Xi Hua knew that the two people's current situation was inseparable from his subconscious connivance.

He has never been able to firmly reject Lin Fanqing.

After finishing speaking, Xi Hua lowered his head, not daring to look at the expression on the old prime minister's face.

The old prime minister seemed to have fallen into a long silence.

After a long time, Xi Hua heard the old prime minister ask: "Then, Your Majesty, how do you plan to handle this relationship?"

Xi Hua was a little helpless and at a loss, "I don't know..."

It's different from the previous world, where she and Shen Yuanyan confirmed their relationship step by step, and then got a marriage certificate.

Now between himself and Lin Fanqing, it seems more like taking one step at a time.

Because he knew that the relationship between the two of them was destined not to be made public, Xi Hua never thought about the future.

The old prime minister gave Xi Hua a deep look, and didn't ask any more questions, but said: "Your Majesty, what you need most now is a heir."

Great Wei needs an heir, and the world also needs a crown prince.

Xi Hua didn't speak, he really wanted to tell the old prime minister that it was impossible for him to have children with others.

Although the royal family of Great Wei was sparsely populated, there were always a few people in the clan.

At that time, it will be fine to adopt one of them.

It's just that he dare not say this to the old prime minister now, for fear of irritating the old man again.

Seeing that Xi Hua was silent, the old prime minister leaned on the head of the bed, looked out the window, and said, "Fan Qing has also reached the age to marry a wife."

Xi Hua suddenly raised his head.

The old prime minister looked at the young emperor who was still immature, and sighed, "Your Majesty, this road between you and Fan Qing is not easy."

Xi Hua only felt bitterness in his mouth, and whispered: "I know."

Xi Hua realized that he was really selfish. He felt that there was no future with Lin Fanqing, but he couldn't bear that Lin Fanqing might be with someone else.

"Since your majesty knows it, you should understand the reason why you should never stop being disturbed by it."

Xi Hua held the skinny palm of the old prime minister, his heart was in turmoil, he managed to calm down, and said:

"Prime Minister, don't think about these things, take good care of your illness. I and other ministers are looking forward to your speedy recovery."

The old prime minister smiled, "Your Majesty, I am getting old."

Xi Hua's nose was sore, "If you are not old, the prime minister can live a long life."

......

When going out, Xi Hua saw Lin Fanqing who had been standing outside.

In winter, the flowers and trees wither, only the plum blossoms are still in bloom.

Lin Fanqing was standing under a white plum tree in the courtyard, looking up as if he was thinking about something.

Xi Hua subconsciously slowed down.

Lin Fanqing turned his head and saw Xi Hua, and said, "Your Majesty."

Xi Hua walked over.

Lin Fanqing reached out and touched the top of Xi Hua's hair, "No matter what grandfather said to you, don't care, I will take care of it."

"Your Majesty, you must trust me."

Xi Hua was a little afraid to meet Lin Fanqing's gaze, he clutched his chest, feeling the pain was severe.

He didn't know exactly what to do.

Lin Fanqing keenly sensed that something was wrong with Xi Hua, and held Xi Hua's hand, "Your Majesty?"

Xi Hua shook his head.

Lin Fanqing held Xi Hua's shoulders and made him look at him.

"Why doesn't Your Majesty dare to look at the minister?"

"Did you promise something to your grandfather?"

Xi Hua tilted his head and denied, "No!"

Lin Fanqing smiled, "That's good."

He said: "Grandfather also talked to me once before, does your majesty want to know?"

Seeing that Xi Hua pursed his lips and ignored him, Lin Fanqing said to himself: "Grandfather said that the emperor's family has always been merciless and ungrateful."

Xi Hua's ears moved.

Lin Fanqing continued: "You are still young today, and your mind is uncertain. Even if you are with you for a moment of pleasure, how long can this relationship last?"

"He is the emperor, you can't be the only one, he wants to accept the concubine and have a son after all."

"At that time, you will be the target of everyone's criticism, so how should you deal with yourself?"

Lin Fanqing's voice was very calm, as if he was just repeating a few words that had nothing to do with him.

But Xi Hua couldn't help turning his head to look at him.

Retorted: "No."

Being with you is not for pleasure, and I will not concubine and have children, and I will not make you a target of public criticism.

Lin Fanqing finally smiled at this time, "That's what I told my grandfather too."

He stretched out his hand to stroke Xi Hua's temple hair by his ear, but he still didn't say a word.

He also told his grandfather that if His Majesty really dared to change his mind one day, he might be ashamed of the Lin family's ancestors and become a traitor.
