Your Majesty will suffer

Yue Ling has never experienced such a difficult new year in his life: he is always worried and restless, but when someone mentions the word "Nan Gong Ji", he feels like he is facing a big enemy. He is afraid that people will see through the clues. .

Every year on the fifth day of the first lunar month, there is a grand banquet in the palace, and all the royal family and ministers are invited to attend.Even though Nangong Ji had claimed to be sick earlier, Yue Ling was still worried, so he sent someone to Nangong's mansion to inform about the matter first, so as to teach Yu Bi and others to be prepared.

In fact, after Nan Gongji left, Yu Bi and Huai An really lived like years!At the beginning, Nangongji was afraid that he would stop him later, so he left without saying goodbye. He only left a letter and explained briefly. By the time the two of them found out, it was already too late!In desperation, Yu Bi drove his horse and galloped for nearly a hundred miles, but failed to catch up!In desperation, he had to return to Beijing and China first to think about countermeasures.

Nangong Mansion naturally excused the big banquet in the Fifth Palace, which was quite common, so no one suspected it.

The days passed day by day, and it was the fourteenth day of the first lunar month. During the period, because Yun Xiyun said that he hadn't seen Nan Gongji for a long time, the crown prince asked him to come to the mansion to find out what kind of disease he was infected with, but what's the matter?Yue Ling didn't dare to agree, he just said that he was caught in the wind and cold, and it should be better in two days!Prevaricating in this way, I only hope that he can rush back before Shangyuan according to his words!

However, due to unforeseen circumstances, there was still no news from Nangong Mansion on the day of Shangyuan, and Nangong Ji has been "ill" for more than [-] days. If he still cannot answer the call this time, it may be difficult to hide it!

During the Shangyuan Festival, Yue Ling felt like sitting on pins and needles, and from time to time he taught Huang Men to go out to find out if Nan Gongji had entered the palace, but what he heard disappointed him.So when it came to Shenshi, I finally heard the news: the prince of Shu was still unable to be called today because of his illness!Yue Ling was full of anxiety, but suddenly he heard that he was summoned today!I am terrified in my heart, but the matter has come to this point, I still have to force myself to be calm and go when called.

When Shangguo asked about Nangongji, Yueling answered as usual.

Shang said: "In this way, his illness is not serious. Let's just leave it today. Tomorrow you go out of the palace to visit him, and tell the imperial physician to come and treat him. Don't delay! Shu can't explain it!"

But hearing this, Yue Ling felt dizzy and his heart sank to nowhere.

This night, Yue Ling couldn't sleep, all kinds of distracting thoughts made him have a splitting headache!

Nangongji didn't return for a long time, could it be that something happened on the way?Or reunited with family members, can't bear to say goodbye in a hurry, so as to delay the return date?or. . .Although this point is the last thing Yue Ling wants to think about, in the end, it is not impossible: whether he will or not. . .Didn't plan to come back? !Is that just a way for the golden cicada to get out of its shell?However, he clearly said at the beginning that he would not trap himself in injustice, was it actually a perfunctory word? !Reflecting on it again, although this strategy makes sense, it is too risky. Isn't he afraid that this move will anger the emperor and send troops to attack Shu?unless. . .This matter was premeditated!Could it be that the Nangong family has decided to rebel against Liang?If this is the case, Yue Lingshi dare not think about the consequences!

Thinking wildly like this, tossing and turning for half the night. . .

At some point, he faintly heard commotion outside the hall, and asked anxiously, "But Nan Gongji?"

The outside replied: "Prince Shu comes to the palace to see you!"

Yue Ling was overjoyed, and was about to get out of bed to see him, but he suddenly woke up, it was just a dream!

It was already dawn, Yue Ling got up to change his clothes, and said with hatred in his heart: Nangong Ji, you missed the appointment!Now that the deadline has come, I will kill myself, but you can't live either!

The imperial doctor was already waiting in the front hall, and Yue Ling felt even more hopeless when he saw him: This person has seen Nan Gongji, and now he wants to find someone to pretend to be his replacement, so it is impossible.For a while, I just thought about how to apologize and report myself.

There was a light snowfall last night, the road was wet and slippery, the carriages and horses were moving slowly, but Yue Ling felt that the road was still a bit closer.

A group of people in Nangong Mansion had already heard the news and were waiting in front of the door, and Yu Bi picked him up on behalf of the Patriarch!Yue Ling got out of the car and went inside, pretending to ask about his condition.Yu Bi answered one by one, the Taoist master had contracted a cold earlier and had been ill for several days, but when he was about to recover, he accidentally injured his leg and foot, so he couldn't go out for many days!Yue Ling pretended to listen, and sighed in his heart that this man's city is very good, knowing that a disaster is coming but still able to deal with it calmly, it is not bad.It's a pity that today, no matter how capable he is, he will surely be unable to recover!

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, knowing that it would be perfunctory, Yue Ling said: "Today the medical officer came here on order, so let's go inside and have a look first!"

Originally thought that Yu Bi would shirk with excuses, but unexpectedly he simply received the order and summoned the servants to teach the imperial doctor to enter.

Yue Ling was surprised, hesitated for a moment, and said, "So, I'll go check him out too!"

Yu Bi persuaded: "The imperial doctor will go, Your Highness might as well have a cup of tea first, it won't be too late to go after the imperial doctor has diagnosed the disease."

How could Yue Ling listen to the persuasion, he only thought that he might have set up some tricks to get through the test, but he didn't know that the imperial doctor was very thoughtful, and he was afraid that the teacher would see through him, so he insisted on going.Seeing this, Yu Bi had no choice but to let him go.

Walking outside Hong'an Hall, Nangongji's dorm, I saw a person standing under the eaves admiring plum blossoms---it was Nangongji's cousin Li Qi!

After meeting the prince, Li Qi said: "The imperial doctor is still in consultation, Your Highness should come in after a while!"

Yue Ling was afraid that he might make a mistake, so he hurriedly asked: "When did the imperial doctor come in, why is it still not healed?"

Li Qi said: "Your Highness, don't worry, the imperial doctor has just entered, and it may take a while."

At this moment, Cha Huai'an came out from the room, and said: "Patriarch heard that His Highness is coming, please come in and have a talk!"

Yue Ling entered the room, and saw the imperial doctor examining him in front of the bed, and everything seemed to be as usual.Surprised in his heart, he hurried forward two steps to see the person on the couch clearly.The imperial doctor stepped aside.When the four eyes met, Yue Ling suddenly showed joy, and shouted: "Nangong Ji! When will you..." At this point, there was a sudden pause, then turned around, and hurriedly changed his words: "When will you be injured?" "

It turned out that the person on the couch was Nan Gongji!Only at this moment, his face is pale, and his body has lost a lot, as if he had been really ill.

The man laughed and said: "It would be a bad luck for Your Highness to come to the minister's mansion to have a banquet and play games today. The minister has had bad luck recently, and his injuries and illnesses have piled up. Now he can't even stand up. Let's wait for another day."

Yue Ling was surprised and said, "How did you become like this?"

Before the man could answer, the imperial doctor standing beside him came out and said: "My son was just suffering from the wind and cold, and there is no serious problem at all. Unfortunately, he will not be able to provide enough food at that time, but now he is getting worse. If we don't take care of it, he may become serious." Serious illness; as for the foot injury, luckily it only hurts the texture, not the bones and muscles, so I applied medicine for a few days, patiently raised it, and it will heal within ten and a half months!"

Yue Ling smiled and said: "The wind and cold should be healed quickly, as for the foot injury, there is no need to be too hasty, and teach him to lie down for a few more days, and see how he can still run around looking for fun!"

Nan Gongji sighed: "Your Highness is such a cruel person. If you want to say it's cold, it's fine, but this foot injury is really caused by His Highness! His Highness called urgently the day before yesterday, and I didn't dare to neglect it. I just wanted to hurry up. Go, unexpectedly the road was slippery due to the rain, and the minister was unhealed from the wind and cold. He was unsteady on his feet for a while, and slipped and fell in this courtyard, which hurt his leg. His Highness came here today, and he didn't say anything to comfort him, but he even made fun of him. The real minister is chilled."

Yue Ling scoffed, "If that's the case, I blamed you!"

Yue Ling had thousands of questions in his mind at this moment, so he waited for the imperial doctor to leave, and hurriedly dismissed the left and right sides, asking: "When did you return to Beijing, why didn't you tell others about it, it made me very worried! "

Nan Gongji was not in a hurry to answer, but only waved to him.Yue Ling was puzzled, but still approached him as he wanted.

The man said with a smile: "If your Highness wants to listen to me, but you still feel wronged and sit down by the bed, I will speak softly, first to prevent people from eavesdropping, and second, to save me some energy."

Yue Ling thought about it, so he moved a stool to sit beside his bed.

The man rubbed his forehead again, and said: "I just talked too much, and my throat hurts."

Yue Ling frowned: "Then... why don't you call the imperial doctor to have a look?"

Seeing that he didn't like it, Nan Gongji could only say bluntly: "Please bring me a cup of tea, Your Highness!"

Yue Ling was startled, turned his head to look at the cups on the table, and said hesitantly, "Of course, those cups are all empty."

Nangong Ji couldn't help but laugh: "There is tea in the pot, if His Highness won't pour it, then go outside and call someone."

It was only then that Yue Ling realized that the man had taught him to pour tea for him!It's inevitable that he doesn't want to, thinking about it, even the current empress and the former empress have never taught him to serve in this way. . .Just as he was about to call someone in, he turned his head and saw the sneer on the man's face, and thought about what he said just now "If you don't know how to pour tea", I suddenly feel unwilling, and it may not be difficult to pour a cup of tea, why bother Want to show weakness and send ridicule with that guy? !Then he went forward and took the teapot.

Seeing this, Nangongji hurriedly shouted: "The tea is hot, be careful not to splash your hands."

Yue Ling didn't answer him, just hummed in his heart, but when his fingers touched the wall of the pot, he really felt hot!And ignored it, just lifted the pot and poured it down.

Nangong Ji said anxiously: "Lower!"

Before the words finished, Yue Ling suddenly felt a tingling pain in the back of the hand holding the cup---it really splashed!Fortunately, it wasn't boiling water, the place where it splashed was only reddish, and it didn't bubble, so it didn't matter.

After drinking tea, Nangongji narrated the inside story.

It turned out that the journey was not going well. On the way back to Beijing, there was a snowstorm, and it was delayed for two days. When the snow melted, the road was slippery and difficult to walk. Afraid of delaying the return date, he and his cousin urged the horses to hurry in the second half of the journey. , caught wind and cold on the way and did not dare to stop and rest, and finally arrived in Beijing this morning!It was still dark at that time, and he was too tired. When he got off his horse, he stepped on a slippery spot, and he couldn't stand still, so he fell and injured himself!

Yue Ling couldn't help hearing it, but he still said: "You obviously got off your horse and slipped and got hurt, but you claimed that you were called by me in front of people, isn't it just confusing right and wrong, and adding crimes indiscriminately?"

Nan Gongji smiled and said: "This statement is not entirely false, if I hadn't thought about His Highness, why would I rush back in such a hurry?"

Yue Ling sneered: "I was burdened by you in this matter, but you still dare to blame me!" Even though he said that, he turned around, but finally heaved a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, you came back in time, Otherwise, the consequences will be unpredictable.”

Although Nangongji said yes with a smile, he was not at ease in his heart.There is one thing that he did not tell directly: on the day when he and Li Qi left the capital, he felt someone was following him along the way. He suspected that they were the eyes and ears of the palace, so he followed Li Qi's plan and wandered around the city for half a day, and then took the opportunity to part ways with his followers. At that time, the two of them went out of the city in disguise, and the entourage disguised themselves as the two of them and went back to the mansion.It was later heard that when the people following him saw him returning to the mansion, they also left.

Although things have not happened yet, but he is uneasy in his heart, if the palace knows what happened that day, and if he thinks that he has been sick for so many days, he will be suspicious!If so, it may happen sooner or later!
