many worries

The sky was low and cloudy, a hard iron gray.

Qiao Yu knelt at the spot where she fell, raised her head, and pretended to look at the sky through the dense treetops, but in fact, she did so to keep her tears from falling.He couldn't even kneel very much now, he was shaking with pain, and he needed to support the ground with his palms to barely straighten his body.

He didn't know what time it was, but he didn't dare to delay any longer, and went to the place where Jing Yan usually boiled water to start a fire.Qiao Yu had never done this kind of work before, and it just rained yesterday, so the firewood was soaked in rainwater, making it more difficult to burn than usual.Kneeling on the ground and working for a long time, even the palms were pricked a few small cuts before he managed to raise the fire.

While waiting for the water to boil, Qiao Yu went to see Jing Yan, looking at his condition, so as to know which medicine to cook.

Before he entered the bedroom, he heard a violent coughing sound from inside, as if he wanted to cough out his heart and lungs.Qiao Yu originally supported the wall and slowly moved in, but the movement inside made him unable to even support the wall, and rushed in regardless of his injured leg.

Jing Yan's illness became more and more serious. His symptoms were just like what Xun Taiyi said, fever, body cold, and persistent cough.

Because the medicine for the heart and lungs is very complicated and precious, and it takes a lot of time to boil it, Qiao Yu stared at the stove, and just relying on what Doctor Xun said in his memory, he boiled the medicine, put it in a small bowl, and served it out of the house.

After a busy day, Qiao Yu was beaten again. He had no strength left, and relied on his heart's reliance on Jing Yan to survive. He was afraid that the bowl of soup would fall,

The room was silent, only the sound of Jing Yan's rapid breathing and the occasional cough.Qiao Yu put the decoction aside, enduring the throbbing pain behind her calves, leaned on the bed, patted Jing Yan's back carefully, learned to speak coaxing words without a teacher, and told the prince little by little.

In fact, Jing Yan couldn't hear those words, Qiao Yu used them to coax herself, telling herself not to worry, don't be afraid, the prince will be fine.

It's a pity, probably because Jing Yan didn't say those words to Qiao Yu, so they are not very useful. Qiao Yu wanted to hold back, but after all, she couldn't. Big drops of tears flowed down her eye sockets, sobbing softly. , and even Jingyan complained, "I'm so tired, they all bullied me and beat me, my legs hurt so badly that I couldn't even stand up. You bullied me too, don't come to coax me, just coax me!" Coax me, or I will be angry."

When Qiao Yu grew up, she still liked to act like a baby to Jing Yan, asking Jing Yan when she wanted something, and asking Jing Yan when she didn't want anything.As long as the prince is by his side, Qiao Yu never has a wish that cannot be fulfilled.And no one else told him that he was so old that he shouldn't act like a baby to others anymore.

Even if someone told him so, Qiao Yu would probably have to refute with confidence, how could the prince be someone else.

There is a reason for this. Jing Yan raised Qiao Yu for 12 years and never wanted him to be strong and brave, because strong and brave people in the world always have to bear more, and Jing Yan only needs him to be happy every day. .

Jing Yan's subordinates never had trash, they only raised a spoiled little trash, Dim Sum Xiaoyu.

Qiao Yu complained to Jing Yan intermittently for a long time. After he recovered from his illness, he wanted to teach the guard a good lesson, and he wanted to redeem his jade pendant. There were many demands that Jing Yan had to fulfill. .

But at the end, when the soup was half-cold, Qiao Yu's tone became lower and lower, his voice was filled with tears, and he was extremely sad, "I don't want all of the above, as long as Ah Ci wakes up, as long as you wake up, come to me. Blink your eyes, call my name, drink the medicine obediently, and I will forgive you, okay? My Ah Ci."

Jing Yan still didn't wake up, he coughed a lot, his lips were dry and his forehead was hot.

Can't wait any longer.

Qiao Yu pursed his lips, his lips were full of tears, he tasted the taste of tears, bitter and salty, so sour that he couldn't speak, he whispered in Jing Yan's ear: "Ah Ci is really disobedient , I’m going to give you medicine, don’t spit it out.”

He picked up the medicine bowl, stirred it a few times with a spoon, tasted the temperature first, and shed more bitter tears.From childhood to adulthood, he was most afraid of suffering and suffering, but he did it all willingly for Jing Yan, and he was beaten and tasted medicine for him, and he never felt sad.

Qiao Yu forcefully opened Jing Yan's mouth, poured the decoction in, wiped the dripping with his underwear, and said slowly: "Forget it, as long as you wake up, I will forgive you no matter what time. Don't let I waited too long."

He had only one wish.

The medicine was really effective. After feeding it for a while, Jing Yan no longer coughed. Qiao Yu finally felt relieved, but she still couldn't stop crying.

He has too many grievances to cry out.

Qiao Yu lay on the head of the bed, tilted her head, looked at Jing Yan with a tilted head, smiled and shed tears.

Jing Yan woke up around midnight, Qiao Yu was young, and Jing Yan usually took good care of her, even though she didn't sleep last night, and she didn't rest today, she still survived the night, staring at the prince with perfect eyes .

His eyelashes trembled, and after a long time, he slowly opened his eyes and saw Qiao Yu beside him.Qiao Yu's current appearance is very ugly, her face is dark and covered with dust, completely covering her snow-white skin, only the traces of her tears are white, as if she just fled from somewhere else. Can't tell what he looks like.

Jing Yan was seriously ill, and even the sight in front of him was blurry, but he recognized it as his Xiaoyu at a glance.

He smiled, swallowed the bloody smell in his throat, half propped up his body, and wanted to touch Qiao Yu's face, to wipe off the black dust, "I just woke up, and I saw a black Huge things dangled in front of my eyes, I thought it was you who appointed me to take care of me on New Year's Eve."

Qiao Yu stared blankly at Jing Yan, bit her lip, trying to restrain herself, swallowing back her tears and sobs, not to worry Jing Yan, but there was nothing she could do.

His little dimples were filled with tears, watery, touching and pitiful.

It took Jing Yan a lot of effort to raise his hand, but his face was not showing at all. With a little force on his fingertips, he wiped Qiao Yu's wet temples. His voice was low and hoarse, but he still teased him gently. She wanted to pull him into her arms, and said softly, "I can't see you crying."

From the first time Jiu Yuan met, he couldn't see Qiao Yu shed tears, or really shed tears because of sadness and unfulfilled wishes.

However, Qiao Yu was very disobedient, throwing away what she had said not long ago, playing a temper tantrum with Jing Yan, crying out of breath, even talking intermittently, "Just, just cry, just cry! You've been sleeping for so long, you don't care about me, don't you care if I cry or not!"

Jing Yan sighed, knowing that Qiao Yu was frightened this time.He purposely made himself sick in order to get out of the Taiqing Palace, but he couldn't tell Qiao Yu about it.Because this illness has lasted for a long time, during which the secret guards were rotated, Jing Yan was afraid that Qiao Yu would be naive and unable to tell lies, and once he was caught out, he would be in big trouble.

He should have been ill for a long time, but now he couldn't bear it anymore, fearing that this little fool like Qiao Yu would really go blind from crying, he could only speed up the plan as much as possible.

Although Jing Yan was ill, as long as he regained consciousness, he could behave like ordinary people. He wiped Qiao Yu's face meticulously, his fingers were still cold, and he beckoned to Qiao Yu, "It's been raining for a few days, It's very cold underground, come up and sleep with me."

Qiao Yuhong was right, a little embarrassed, he had been outside for a whole day today, and he was beaten by a fire, so it was very dirty.

Jing Yan looked at him and could see what he was thinking at a glance, so he closed his eyes slightly and smiled, "Touch my hand, it's very cold, cover it for me, okay?"

Probably because the prince seldom spoke to him in such a tone, Qiao Yu had no way to resist, so she agreed, took off her outer clothes, and climbed onto the bed.

Qiao Yu failed to climb up, and just about to stand up, he fell backwards and fell on the edge of the bed. Fortunately, Jing Yan blocked his back with his arm, so Qiao Yu didn't have many injuries.

Qiao Yu clenched his fists in pain, not daring to give birth. He didn't feel it before. After kneeling for so long, his calf became more and more swollen and painful. Not to mention standing up hard, he couldn't even move.

But this matter cannot be told to Jing Yan.

Qiao Yu subconsciously concealed it, and even put her heart into acting, supported her knees, and said dryly, "I've been kneeling for a long time, my knees are completely numb, and I can't stand up."

Jing Yan's smile narrowed, and he asked, "Is it really the knee?"

Qiao Yu was a little guilty, she didn't dare to look at Jing Yan, and deliberately used a soft tone to convince the other party, "That's right, it's the knee."

Still not telling the truth.

Jing Yan's complexion completely sank, he got up, he swayed a little when he landed, but quickly restrained himself, he picked up Qiao Yu, put him on the bed, and wanted to see his calf.Qiao Yu struggled not to look, but Jing Yan circled it casually with one hand without exerting any force, and said indifferently: "I'm sick now, Xiaoyu is still so disobedient, does it mean that you don't want me to get better?"

Qiao Yu looked at Jing Yan anxiously, her eyes were wet, as if those words had hurt him greatly, she obediently did not dare to move, only her long eyelashes were still trembling uncontrollably.

Jing Yan was startled, his eyes darkened, without saying a word, he lifted up Qiao Yu's pants, rolled them up, revealing his snow-white calves.

His movements were very light, but Qiao Yu still couldn't hold back, and shrank back because of the pain, but thinking about Jing Yan's words, he insisted on not moving.

Qiao Yu's skin was very white, her calf was very thin, and there were dozens of red marks across her calf, which were pulled out by willow branches in the afternoon, one by one, some of which were torn and bloodshot.

Jing Yan's breath was suffocated, he wanted to cough, but he swallowed it back forcefully, after a while, he closed his eyes tightly to cover the darkness inside, brushed Qiao Yu's temple hair carefully and gently, but his tone was full of With some bloody smell, "Xiaoyu, who moved you?"

Qiao Yu trembled slightly, unwilling to say the things that worried Jing Yan, who couldn't take a good rest during the illness, Gu Zuo said that he was finally forced to have no choice, so he shrank into a ball, covering his eyes with his arms , wrinkled the tip of his nose, and pretended not to care, "I came back late, and I was taught a lesson by the guards in front of the door. In fact, it looked serious, and it didn't hurt much. It's just that I was born too white. Method."

He thought it over, and when the prince's illness is completely cured, he must tell him all the grievances, but he can't do it now.

Jing Yan lowered his head, his expression was blurred, no one could see clearly what he was thinking, but his gaze fell on Qiao Yu's calf as if it were real.

From Qiao Yu's perspective, the face that cannot be seen is only the outline of half of the chin and a small piece of thin red lips. He heard Jing Yan say coldly: "Then tell me what you did today, and nothing is allowed. leak."

Qiao Yu's calf hurts badly, and she feels sad. She really wants to hug and coax Jing Yan, but she can't help it, so she tells Jing Yan everything from going out this morning to now, but in the end it's still a secret. After a while, he sent out his jade pendant just to find the imperial doctor for diagnosis and treatment.

Jing Yan was exhausted, but he still managed to finish listening. He knew that Qiao Yu had lied to him, because when he picked up the little fool just now, the jade pendant left by his grandmother had disappeared from his neck. It was mortgaged for medical expenses.

It was Qiao Yu's most precious treasure.

Jing Yan understood that he felt Qiao Yu's love for him, but he didn't know how to speak or respond.No matter what he said, it seemed too frivolous, and could not compare to what Qiao Yu had done.

Qiao Yu dedicated her whole being to herself, all her bravery, warmth, and passionate feelings.

Jing Yan's heart was dazed and soft, maybe he was sick and dizzy, he always felt that these were not enough, he wanted to plunder, possess, and get more.

And these are all exclusive to him, no one should see his light, his little jade.

He stopped thinking about it, but said softly: "Don't you remember what I told you before? I said it, your own life is more important than anything else, right?"

Qiao Yu hesitated and nodded.

Jing Yan leaned down, pressed against his calf, and counted the scars one by one. After seeing clearly, none of them fell off.He tilted his head again, and saw a faint spot of light on the ground, which was the dark guard watching and staring at them.

He remembered it all, he remembered it all.

Qiao Yu groaned and burrowed into Jing Yan's arms. Jing Yan found the wound medicine for him, slowly applied it, then took him into his arms, and whispered a word to his earlobe , Those words were so light and shallow that no one could hear them except Qiao Yu.

He said: "It won't happen in the future, and I won't let my Xiaoyu suffer again."

Not anymore.

When he woke up the next day, the sky was slightly bright, and it was a fine day. Jing Yan woke up early, so he couldn't recover, so he could only stay sick like this.

Jing Yan lowered his eyebrows and told Xiao Shishi who was kneeling on the ground, "The time has come."

Xiao Shishi reported the matter to Emperor Yuande.

Emperor Yuande was sitting on the dragon chair, wearing a thick and noble dragon robe. He had recently suffered from old illnesses, and he was very thin, and he looked even more lonely on the large dragon chair.

He closed his eyes slightly, pondered for a long time, and asked, "You mean, the deposed prince suffers from a heart and lung disease? Imperial physician Xun said that if there is no good medicine for this disease, it will leave hidden diseases, and he will be weak and sick all his life?"

Emperor Yuande always knew about Xun Le's medical skills. If he said so, it must be so.He called the imperial physician more frequently recently, and those people in the court couldn't sit still, and they all praised Jing Xu in their words. If they didn't still estimate him, they wished that Jing Xu would be appointed as the reserve as soon as possible.

The more the court ministers were like this, the more Emperor Yuande disliked Jing Xu. Even if the two of them were connected by blood, they would never allow the other party to divide his power.

If it weren't for the fact that the fourth child was too useless, he was afraid of seeing Feng Nannan and couldn't support him, otherwise he wouldn't need to use Jing Yan.

But so far, there is no other way.

Emperor Yuande waved his hand, and after a while, he let the eunuch from outside come in again, and ordered: "Let Liu Lin from the Imperial Hospital come here."

Jing Yan's illness should indeed be cured, but it cannot be cured immediately, the root cause of the disease must be left behind, and he will be weak and unable to do things in the future.

He mentioned Liu Lin, and Liu Lin immediately understood.I have been in the Tai Hospital for so long, and my medical skills are not superb, but I am very good at understanding people's hearts and understand the meaning of my superiors, so I can climb to my current position.

In the early morning of the next day, Liu Lin took the imperial decree and knocked on the door of Taiqing Palace.

The news that Imperial Physician Liu was sent to the Taiqing Palace to treat the deposed prince quickly spread throughout the entire harem, even the former court heard about it.

Before that, no one could have imagined that the deposed prince who had fallen into a trough and would never recover would still have the present opportunity.

Although Jing Xu was confined in the Imperial Forest Palace, the supervision was not too strict after all. He occasionally came to Shenyun Palace to visit his mother and concubine. He was already 20 years old. When he saw Feng Nannan, he was still sitting on her side.

Except for the two of them, all the maids and eunuchs in the inner hall of Shen Yun Palace retired.

Jing Xu gritted his teeth, thinking of the news outside.He thinks that he has good looks and good looks, but he was suppressed by the prince since he was a child. The courtiers almost ignored him as the second prince, and almost hated Jing Yan to the bottom of his heart. It was not easy for the Chen family to fall, so he finally came out.

He said bitterly: "Mother, what do you say, father is going to release Jing Yan, as soon as he comes out, he comes out..."

Feng Nannan poured a cup of tea for him, grabbed his hand, and comforted him softly. She loved Jing Xu very much since she was a child, and she always treated Jing Xu more tolerantly than other children, "Xu'er, you don't have to Afraid. After Jing Yan became a rebellious minister, he will always bear this name on his body, so he can't turn over. I haven't seen your father recently, so I don't understand what he is thinking. Be careful yourself. "

Jing Xu took Feng Nannan's hand back, "Empress Mother, Royal Father, does Royal Father really ignore us?"

Feng Nannan smiled softly, and touched his cheek, "I've never counted on him, never have. I've always counted on you, Xu'er, you are the queen mother's hope."

She paused, her voice became lower and sharper, and she seemed to comfort him, "If he doesn't come out, your father will protect him for the rest of his life. When he comes out, he hasn't been in touch with court affairs for so many years. It’s just a rabbit without minions, so what can it do?”
