master and servant

The imperial city is brightly lit at night.

The palace he was in was even more illuminated like daylight.

Xie Yusheng looked down at the ground, the huge dogs were lazily spreading out around the two people on the warm couch, and they could touch the soft and warm fur with his hands.

The white ones, the brown ones, and the golden ones all lay silently on the ground, breathing so lightly that they could hardly be heard, wagging their tails lazily, showing that they are friendly and harmless.

They looked warm and soft, and they would be indifferent to being touched and kicked, but those pairs of dark eyes made Xie Yusheng shudder.

It was the eyes of Hunger and Cold who did not treat people as people but as moving pieces of meat.

When he was very young, he saw servants who violated his imperial brother's will were torn and eaten by these huge wolf dogs. These dogs had absolute and only loyalty to his imperial brother, and the only thing in those black eyes was The emperor alone.

Just like those people.

Xie Yusheng stretched out his hand, letting old master Feng's warm fingers cut his veins.

"How is Hanyu's body?" asked the man sitting opposite Xie Yusheng.

"Heart sounds are uneven, quite noisy." The old man who has been an envoy of the Imperial Hospital for decades replied respectfully.He has served the royal family for nearly 50 years and has witnessed the lives and deaths of three generations. He is quite favored by the emperor. "The heart and lungs come from the same source, and His Royal Highness's lungs are also severely damaged. I am afraid that he will not be able to withstand exhaustion and consideration in the future."

He put down his hand while writing the prescription.As a student of this old doctor since childhood, Xie Yusheng couldn't help stretching his neck to peep.

It actually made him unhappy to be denied the prescription he had prescribed for himself.

But now in front of his imperial brother, he dare not make a mistake.

"Although I did a good job this time, I made my body like this..." The emperor's fingers were submerged in the thick fur, and his expression was not joyful, "Happy?"

"Chendi is dull and has no ability to find a perfect solution."

"I can talk back, the older I get, the more idiot I get." The emperor raised his hand, and Xie Yusheng obediently lowered his body, allowing him to stroke the top of his hair.

"Look, what's wrong with your health after going out and messing around? He has gray hair. Mr. Feng, give him more hair-nourishing medicine. The harder it is, the better."

The old doctor Feng silently prescribed a longer prescription and handed it to the emperor for review. He seemed satisfied and waved his hand to let the old doctor back down.

In the huge palace, only the occasional crackling of candles and the breathing of the two people remained.

"Keeping dogs is a troublesome science. You have to give both kindness and majesty, and rewards and punishments are appropriate. You have to provide them with food and drink, protect them from the heat and cold, shelter them, and use them. The most important thing is not to set rules, but to tell them repeatedly. They, you are their master, let them engrave this into their flesh and soul." The emperor gently scratched the chin of the big golden dog in his hand, and the honored dog purred contentedly.

The next moment the emperor grabbed the piece of skin and pulled it hard, causing the dog to roll a foot away.The dog endured it silently, and quietly stepped back a few steps, allowing other dogs to step forward and fill its original position.

"No dog is special, you understand?"

Xie Yusheng smiled, "Brother Emperor's words of gold and jade, I will keep them in my heart. The emperor's grace is so great that it covers all things, so there is no distinction between high and low. I will never lose my measure casually. Let the servants have unreasonable desires."

"Aren't you already doing it?" The emperor picked up a finger-sized piece of meat from the glass plate at hand, and casually handed it to a dog's mouth.The dog opened its bright red mouth, and nimbly took the piece of meat with its clean and white fangs. From the beginning to the end, it neither made a sound nor touched the emperor's fingers. The useless so-called 'loyalty' standard of the Jianghu people, the self-righteous guy who doesn't care about his master, why don't he bring it back for me to see?"

"Haha, Brother Huang is serious. It's just a little poodle. I keep it neither for hunting nor for guarding the house. When I'm bored, I take a branch of chrysanthemum for fun and send it to the shadow guard camp. It won't be so interesting anymore." Xie Yusheng stroked the soft fur on the head and neck of the big dog at his hand, and was calmed by the warmth.

"First he didn't follow your order, then he yelled at his master, threatened officials, encouraged the army to mutiny, and then used force to engage in assassinations with those dubious people in the rivers and lakes. People in Jianghu are really becoming less and less self-aware, making a fuss—where is he now?"

"The younger brother ordered him to go to Tianshan to find the magic medicine, heal the younger brother's heart disease, and he will come back in the spring."

The emperor thought for a moment.

In the severe winter and the twelfth lunar month, I braved the storm to go to Tiantian Mountain to find medicine...

"It's still loyal." The emperor seemed a little satisfied, "Knock it carefully, don't let some dogs feel that they are favored and push their noses on the face, and some dogs are so sad that Long Wangshu is not greedy enough, and then resentment arises." heart. The sages also said, don’t worry about scarcity but inequality.”

"My brother understands."

"Go on, take a good rest, and when you recover, I will report what you should have done this time."

Xie Yu gave birth to the palace, wrapped the sable fur a little tighter, and got on the chariot.

He coughed low due to the cold wind from the snow, and said in a hoarse voice, "Zhige, who talks too much to Brother Huang?"

The shadow guard in black whispered in his ear.

After listening, Xie Yusheng laughed sarcastically, "Sure enough, it's not good to be too popular. A benevolent and powerful talent like me is really cute and attracts many admirers to fight with each other. Stumbling on each other, just to win my favor." He squinted his eyes, "Zhige, what about you? Are you secretly jealous, and you have the idea of ​​'he can replace him'?"

The shadow guard didn't answer.

Xie Yusheng lifted his chin, and Mosuo touched the shadow guard's cheek, "You are indeed quite attractive, hahahaha."

King Jin sat quietly in the chariot and suddenly burst out laughing.

The laughter slowly dissipated in the falling snow.

The emperor sighed, "The child has grown up and played wildly. It is really a headache if he refuses to be disciplined."

A dignified and graceful woman stepped out from the apse. She gently pressed her bulging belly with one hand, and stretched out the other hand to be supported by the maids. "Why worry, Your Majesty? Let's raise another one who obeys discipline." It’s just a good boy.”

The emperor waved his hand to stop her from approaching, "Aifei stop, I'm afraid it will be bad for the fetus."

The two of them just separated most of the hall, greeted each other earnestly, and the Duanli girl returned the same way.

From the hall came up a few women in cross-dress who only wore large pieces of fur to surround the shy place, showing a good figure, and waited for the emperor to go to bed with smiles and smiles.

In the north, on the Tianshan Mountain where the wind and snow are howling, Gu Zhi is still ignorant of the undercurrents in the capital city to the south. He just found a shelter from the wind, and covered himself tightly with thick fur, channeling his internal energy to maintain the temperature .

What is the son doing now?He meditated and fell asleep after a while.
