Chapter 54
Xiao Shiqing brought Zhao Qi back to the palace, and Cheng Boyan had been waiting for him early in the morning. After he took Zhao Qi's pulse, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "The prime minister, the emperor just used some perspiration medicine..."
Xiao Shiqing raised his eyebrows, "Just?"
Cheng Boyan choked up and knelt down hastily, "My minister made a mistake. This kind of perspiration medicine will make people feel weak and drowsy, but it is harmless to the human body. Once the effect of the medicine wears off, the emperor will be able to wake up."
Xiao Shiqing's face softened slightly, "Retire ."
"Resignation."
Xiao Shiqing suddenly remembered Regarding the matter, he said: "Wait a minute."
Cheng Boyan said: "What else can the prime minister order?"
"Do you know what a 'dragon egg' is?"
Cheng Boyan was suddenly excited. The emperor has already issued a strict decree that the dragon egg must not be leaked. Resisting the decree is a capital crime, but the fate of lying to Prime Minister Xiao and being found out is probably a thousand times worse than capital crime.
In the nick of time, Cheng Boyan made a decisive choice, "I...don't know." He lowered his eyes, facing Xiao Shiqing's scrutinizing gaze, and tensed his fingers together.
"Really." Xiao Shiqing looked away and looked at Zhao Qi, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, "Go down."
Cheng Boyan was like the rest of his life after a catastrophe, "I obey."
Zhao Qi slept from day to night, and finally there was nothing The stomach woke him up.
Zhao Qi's mind was still a little dazed, he opened one eye first, and found that the bed he was lying on was unfamiliar again, and he was so frightened that he was vaguely frightened—isn't it, again? !
"Are you awake?" The
man's voice was soft and low, which made Zhao Qi's heart sink back into his throat.
That's right, he was taken away by Xiao Shiqing from Rong Tang, he is safe, there is no need to lose his virginity.
"Brother Prime Minister."
Xiao Shiqing stood beside the bed, looking down at him, "Huh?"
The sky outside the window was so dark that even the moon could not be seen; the candlelight inside the room shone brightly, and under the dim light, Xiao Shiqing's face seemed to be covered with a layer of mist. He just stood there without doing anything, and he was already radiant and handsome.
Zhao Qi has always known that Xiao Shiqing's appearance can kill most people in seconds, but he doesn't know why, he looks like a filter today, like a dazzling diamond, radiant and luxurious, making people dazzled.
Diamond, also known as diamond, is the hardest thing in the world, no one can cut him except himself. If you try to touch him forcefully, you will be cut by the sharp edges and corners instead.
Wow, this metaphor is amazing, and only a clever mind like him can come up with it.
Zhao Qi thought wildly and said nothing. There was a hint of worry in Xiao Shiqing's eyes, "Stupid again?"
Zhao Qi whispered in his heart: You look stupid.
Thinking of the beauty, Zhao Qi naturally thought of Rong Tang, and asked: "Brother, what happened to Rong Tang, you didn't kill him, did you?"
Xiao Shiqing's voice was cold, "The first thing I said when I woke up was to ask him, are you okay ? I care about him a lot."
Zhao Xi said: "No, didn't I say 'Brother Prime Minister' in the first sentence?"
Xiao Shiqing: "...Killed."
Zhao Qi sat up whistlingly, "Huh?"
Xiao Shiqing pressed him "Don't worry, he's alive and well."
Zhao Qi breathed a sigh of relief and complained, "Brother scared me to death."
Xiao Shiqing whispered: "You scared me to death too."
"Really It’s not true,” Zhao Qi doubted, “There are still things in this world that can scare the prime minister’s brother.”
Xiao Shiqing half-truth said: “Well, I’m so scared that my heart stops.”
Zhao Qi only thought of Xiao Shiqing I was polite to him, and cooperated with him with a smile, "Then let me feel it?"
"Yes." Xiao Shiqing grabbed Zhao Xi's hand, put it on his chest, and said casually, "How?"
Zhao Qi told the truth: "My brother's heart beats very steadily, and he will definitely live a long life."
"..."
"Wait, it seems to be getting faster and faster..."
Xiao Shiqing took Zhao Qi's hand away calmly, and asked casually, "What did Rong Tang do to you?"
"Oh? Didn't my brother see it?" , didn’t do anything.”
“Before I came,” Xiao Shiqing’s eyes fell on Zhao Qi’s lips, “Did he hug you, did he...kiss you.” The
two big men talked about these shameful things. , Zhao Qi evasively said: "No, no."
"Really?"
"Well..." Zhao Qi said vaguely, "I avoided it."
Xiao Shiqing smiled and said: "Didn't you say that you were unconscious for two hours? , how can you be sure that he didn't touch you during these two hours."
Zhao Qi bit the bullet and said, "If there is, I will definitely feel it after waking up."
Xiao Shiqing smiled lightly, "You are not sober Sometimes, no matter what you do to you, you will forget it the next day."
"Brother," Zhao Qi said helplessly, "Can we change the subject?"
"No."
"Then what do you want? "
Xiao Shiqing looked at him fixedly, "Why don't you let the minister check it for the emperor?"
... If you want to check it, you can check it. It's weird and awkward to change the name suddenly.
So Zhao Qi also changed his address, "How does the prime minister want to check?"
Xiao Shiqing raised the corner of his mouth, "From head to toe, from inside to outside."
Zhao Qi: "???"
He can still understand this "from head to toe", but "from the inside to the outside" is really... intriguing.
Xiao Shiqing asked: "Do you want the emperor?"
Zhao Qi blushed inexplicably, "I-I don't want to bother the prime minister. By the way, what happened to Jiang Dehai and those guards?"
Xiao Shiqing said: "I can't die."
"Oh... Brother, I’m hungry.”
Hearing that the little emperor offered to eat, Xiao Shiqing temporarily put aside the inspection of the dragon’s body and asked, “What do you want to eat.”
Zhao Qi thought about it seriously, “I want noodles. Put green onions and eggs Just forget about the meat." He felt like throwing up when he smelled meat recently.
"What egg," Xiao Shiqing said naturally, "dragon egg?"
"...!!!"
What the hell! How did Xiao Shiqing know about the dragon egg? ! Did he inadvertently expose it?
Xiao Shiqing saw Zhao Qi's reaction in his eyes, and said meaningfully: "Am I right?"
Calm down, you must be calm at this time! If Xiao Shiqing knew that he had a cub, he would definitely not be as calm as he is now, maybe he was just talking.
Zhao Qi's IQ went online suddenly, and he tried his best to make a confused expression, "Dragon egg? What is that, can it be eaten?"
Xiao Shiqing looked at him for a while, and said, "It's okay." The
dining room ordered the bowl according to Zhao Qi's intention. Yangchun noodles, the soup is clear and delicious, light and refreshing, and the scallion oil is full of fragrance. For Zhao Qi, who lives on white porridge and pickles, it is simply a delicacy in the world.
It was rare for Zhao Qi to have an appetite, and he was so moved that he almost cried.
Xiao Shiqing sat aside and watched him eat, with a delicate expression, "Have you not eaten for three days?"
Zhao Qi smiled sheepishly, "Then I am hungry."
Finally Zhao Qi drank the soup, and took a look. Ben slumped contentedly on the bed. Xiao Shiqing was sitting on the couch, dealing with the accumulated emergencies.
Before Xiao Shiqing left Beijing, he properly arranged for important cabinet ministers to stay in Beijing to handle government affairs. The matters that could be sent to him were either of great importance or extremely difficult. Without Xiao Shiqing's instructions, the cabinet did not dare to make up its mind.
Zhao Qi hiccupped and asked, "What time is it?"
Xiao Shiqing didn't lift his head, "It's still an hour before dawn."
"It's already this late," Zhao Xi said, "Then brother hasn't rested all day and night. "
"Yeah."
"Brother, don't read it, go to sleep."
Xiao Shiqing said: "Then can you help me read the playbook?"
Zhao Qi has just experienced a "big catastrophe", and now he just wants to lie dead like a salted fish, " I suddenly felt a little dizzy, lie down, lie down again..."
Such poor acting skills naturally couldn't fool Xiao Shiqing, "Come here, there is an emergency, you should take a look."
Zhao Qi got out of bed and walked over, "What? What's the matter."
Xiao Shiqing held the open notebook in his hand, "Come and see."
Zhao Qi stood in a daze, "Uh...or brother give me the notebook?"
Xiao Shiqing remained motionless, smiling: "The emperor and Can't I see it together?" Let's
see it together...how can we see it together?
Zhao Qi thought for a while, and walked behind Xiao Shiqing, but the light was not very good, he was far away, and the words on the memorandum could not be read clearly. "Brother, bring me the memorial?"
Xiao Shiqing remained calm, "Come closer?"
Zhao Qi simply lay on Xiao Shiqing's back, with his chin resting on his shoulder, squinting his eyes and finally being able to read the words clearly.
After reading the playbook, Zhao Qi was so guilty that he said awkwardly, "Brother..."
Xiao Shiqing seemed to be smiling but not smiling, "After Xixia retreated, the minister ordered He Changzhou to lead the Xijun army squadron to stand by in Xijun, but He Changzhou took a secret order, left Xizhou quickly, and came all the way to Cangzhou unimpeded—what does the emperor want to say? The
hammer has become like this, and it is difficult for Zhao Qi to deny it, "I asked him to come to me."
Xiao Shiqing suppressed his anger and maintained a gentle tone, "Why?"
Zhao Qi made up a story on the spot . Reason, "Because I'm afraid of death, I want him to come back to protect me."
Xiao Shiqing sneered, "Isn't there enough people around you?"
"Yes," Zhao Qisha said seriously, "Otherwise, why would I be imprisoned by Rong Tang? What about the little black room."
Xiao Shiqing was silent for a moment, and asked: "That's all?"
Zhao Qi nodded, "Yeah."
"Then why don't you tell me directly, but want to issue a secret order?"
"I said my brother will agree " ...
No."
Zhao Qi spread his hands, "That's it."
Xiao Shiqing showed an intriguing smile, "Understood, the emperor will go to bed."
Zhao Qi sighed secretly, " What about elder brother?"
Xiao Shiqing said: "I have something else to do."
"Then you want to go?"
"Wait until you fall asleep."
After Zhao Qi fell asleep, Xiao Shiqing walked out of the inner room and called in a low voice: " Fu Zi."
The shadow guard who was in the dark immediately appeared, "Prime Minister."
Xiao Shiqing said: "I want to know what the emperor has said and done recently."
Fu Zi asked: "Prime Minister means, let's withdraw Back to the emperor with his hidden stake?"
"No need." Although he really wanted to do this, he had personally promised that the little emperor would not have anyone to monitor his every move. "You go and check someone."
"Who?"
"Cheng Boyan."
"The prime minister said, the imperial physician by the emperor's side?"
Xiao Shiqing nodded lightly, "The emperor's southern tour, there are a group of experienced old imperial physicians who don't want it, call the name personally Don’t you think it’s strange to ask him to accompany you and let him serve you?” Fuzi said,
“I understand.”
Probably because he talked about He Changzhou with Xiao Shiqing, Zhao Qi saw He Changzhou’s smiling face in his dream . Zhao Qiqi
let himself be pregnant with a dragon egg, and raised his hand to drive that face away, but he got closer, and at the same time shouted: "Your Majesty!"
The young man was sitting beside his bed, with straight eyebrows and a smile on the corner of his mouth, "I'm back."
...Damn it, it's really He Changzhou!
He Changzhou buried his face in Zhao Qi's stomach, like a large dog acting coquettishly, "Does the emperor miss me? Well, I'm so sleepy. I haven't had a full sleep for several days and nights in order to see the emperor sooner." Yes. Can the emperor make room for me, and I will sleep with the emperor for a while?"
Zhao Qi gradually woke up, seeing He Changzhou's appearance of knowing nothing, and suddenly became angry. Just as she was about to scold him, she saw the bruises under his eyes again.
... Forget it, I will settle the score with you after you catch up on sleep.
"Go to sleep," Zhao Xi said, "I've had enough sleep."
He Changzhou yawned, "Didn't the emperor tell me something very important—what is it?"
Zhao Qi said with a face, " Don't worry, we'll talk about it when you wake up."
"Okay, I'll only sleep for an hour, and the emperor will call me after an hour." He Changzhou was really tired, and fell asleep as soon as he lay on the bed.
Zhao Qi got out of bed gently and gave him the whole bed.
It was already two hours later when He Changzhou woke up again. Zhao Qi didn't call him and let him wake up naturally after sleeping. After all, he was young, and after sleeping for half a day, his energy was almost recovered.
He Changzhou called out, "Your Majesty ?"
Jiang Dehai walked in, "The general is awake." He Changzhou asked, "Where is your Majesty
?"
Jiang Dehai said, "The emperor is helping the general barbecue in the yard."
He Changzhou moved his nose, Sure enough, it smelled the aroma of barbecue. He washed his face, came to the courtyard, and saw Zhao Qi lying on the grand master's chair, directing Xiao Songzi to turn over the rabbit on the grill.
He Changzhou walked over and said with a smile: "Your Majesty."
Zhao Qi replied lazily, "I'm awake."
"Eunuch Jiang said that the Emperor is helping me to roast meat. I thought the Emperor would do it himself."
Zhao Qi was angry He said: "Thanks to you, I feel like throwing up when I see meat now."
"Ah?" He Changzhou was puzzled, "Why?"
Zhao Qi looked around and made sure there was no one around, so he waved to He Changzhou.
He Changzhou approached him and put his ear to his mouth.
Zhao Qi's voice couldn't be lowered, "I...have it."
He Changzhou looked confused, "Ah?"
