It snowed again the next day and was as cold as ever.
An Lianxi shrank into the quilt, and the hand on his waist fell due to the sudden distance.
"Still uncomfortable?"
Xue Shiye's voice sounded behind him.
An Lianxi said nothing and buried himself into a ball. His movements were cautious, as if he was afraid of pulling something.
Xue Shiye felt funny as he watched the quilt being pulled over him little by little. He said in a soft voice, "Are you hungry, little boy?"
It was already past afternoon, and Manager Zhang came and went outside the hospital, knowing that he would come back later today.
An Lianxi still remained silent.
The corners of Xue Shine's mouth quickly raised, and his stretched brows were full of satisfaction, like a well-fed lion. After a while, he said again: "Little Tuanzi is hungry."
Hearing this, An Lianxi moved slightly.
Xue Shine said: "Baby."
An Lianxi: "Stop talking..." His voice was hoarse. It didn't seem like hoarseness after a cold or being unable to make a sound, but more like the result of overuse.
Xue Shine pressed his lips downward, "I'm sorry."
It was him who got carried away.
In recent months, Xue Shiye tried his best not to move against the other party, probably because he finally waited, plus...
An Lianxi also took some initiative yesterday.
An Lianxi didn't know why he agreed to Xue Shiye yesterday.
It had been promised for two days, but he was the one who couldn't wait any longer.
An Lianxi didn't want to look at Xue Shiye at all now, but after hearing these words, he paused and slowly moved over, "What are you apologizing for?"
Xue Shiye did not speak.
An Lianxi slowly turned around, raised his eyes from the quilt and looked over. Xue Shiye lowered his eyes and looked at him, "Does your throat hurt?"
It turned out to be because of this...
An Lianxi pursed his lower lip, "It doesn't hurt, it has nothing to do with you..."
No, it still matters.
If it weren't for Xue Shiye, he wouldn't shout so loudly.
At that time, An Lianxi was confused and could only try his best not to make a sound, but Xue Shiye said: "My dear, scream out."
An Lianxi refused at first.
Who knows if there are servants on duty at night? If anyone hears him, he will really be embarrassed to see anyone.
But Xue Shiye seemed to know what he was thinking and told him in advance that his servants had been dismissed long ago.
An Lianxi still hesitated, but was finally persuaded by Xue Shiye's last sentence.
"I want to hear it," he said.
Where could An Lianxi think of anything else, he immediately shouted out, so much so that his voice was now hoarse.
"I'm going to pour some water..." Xue Shiye got up and sat down.
An Lianxi stopped him, "It's better to wash up first."
After saying this, he slowly sat up. Just halfway through, Xue Shiye came to pick him up and took him into his arms, "Thank you for your hard work, little darling."
An Lianxi lowered his eyes, his ears were red, and ignored him.
Xue Shiye dressed him up before letting the servants in, and then asked Manager Zhang to pour him a glass of honey water.
Manager Zhang quickly went down with understanding.
An Lianxi glanced at Xue Shiye, and then walked to the bronze mirror. He didn't want Xue Shiye to tie his hair today.
Xue Shiye hugged the person from behind, and An Lian stopped moving as soon as he laughed.
"I come."
Xue Shiye said, carrying him over.
Even with two or three layers of soft cushions, An Lianxi still felt a little uncomfortable, but he didn't show it.
Until lunch is all served.
Xue Shiye still held him, An Lianxi pushed him, "Let me down."
"Just use it like this."
An Lianxi knew that he had been spotted, but he still refused: "No."
How is Xue Shiye going to eat like this? He is not a child, and he needs to be held in his arms to eat.
and......
This look immediately reminded him of yesterday.
Xue Shiye made him sit like this.
It was said that he was afraid of crushing the baby, but it was not the only way. Xue Shinye insisted on him coming.
Xue Shiye seemed to have done it on purpose. An Lianxi looked at him for a long time, and finally came by himself.
In the past, it was Xue Shiye who led him, but the sudden change made An Lianxi difficult to adapt to. But Xue Shine didn't just look at him, but slowly taught him what to do.
Later...
Xue Shiye probably thought he was too slow and took over.
An Lianxi restrained his thoughts and whispered in a muffled voice, "I want to go down."
Xue Shiye sighed, "Well, tell me if you feel uncomfortable."
An Lianxi was about to nod when he heard him call softly again, "Baby."
Ever since An Lianxi told Xue Shinye last time that he had given the baby a nickname of "Little Tuanzi", the word "baby" has become what Xue Shinye calls him.
This title is too shameful. An Lianxi would only hear him shout it at certain times and in certain places. Every time he heard it, his heart would tremble. He heard it several times yesterday.
He didn't expect that Xue Shiye would call him that at this time, and An Lian's mocking movements suddenly stopped.
Xue Shiye lowered his eyes.
An Lianxi tilted his head slightly, the ends of his eyes were a little pink, "Don't scream."
Xue Shinye moved his fingertips, resisting the thought of putting the person down, and responded, "Okay."
An Lianxi sat aside and ate his own food. Xue Shiye didn't bother him during the meal.
Not long after lunch, Duan Xu came over to ask for Ping An's pulse. When he heard something was wrong in his voice, he immediately went to see Xue Shiye, his eyes looking a little deeper than An Lianxi could understand.
After taking the pulse, Duan Xu left.
An Lianxi breathed a sigh of relief. Xiaotuanzi was fine, and so was he.
However, the weather has been a bit cold recently. An Lianxi caught a cold within two days, and Xue Shiye was away from home for several days. She wished she could stay by his side all the time and never let him go.
"Is it uncomfortable?" Xue Shiye felt extremely uncomfortable looking at his feeble appearance, and carefully fed him soup.
Because of pregnancy, many medicines cannot be used, and even Duan Xu can't do anything about it.
An Lianxi didn't recover from a simple cold for a long time.
An Lianxi sipped the soup, his nose was stuffy, and his voice was soft, "My head hurts a little."
Xue Shiye breathed lightly, "Drink the soup and sleep for a while?"
An Lian muttered, "But I fell asleep for a long time."
He had a cold. Not only did he have a headache, his eyes could not help but shed tears, which made Xue Shiye very anxious.
Xue Shiye finished feeding the soup and gently rubbed the end of his eyes with his fingertips, "Then I won't sleep."
After that, he hooked the person's waist and let him lie on his shoulder, caressing the back of his head with his big palm, and gently coaxed him with a gentle voice, "It's not uncomfortable, little darling."
An Lianxi said: "Dizzy."
Xue Shiye hugged him tighter, his throat was sore, "Well, it will be better soon. It won't be uncomfortable anymore."
An Lianxi leaned on his shoulder, his eyes half-closed in discomfort, and he softly responded, "Okay."
So well-behaved, a soft ball.
His little boy was so kind, but his body was so weak. Xue Shiye could only protect him with the utmost care, but he still made him sick.
An Lianxi was ill, and Xue Shiye looked even more haggard than him, with green stubble appearing on his chin. He reached out his hand and touched it, "It hurts."
Xue Shiye held his hand and said, "If you don't touch it, it won't be pricked."
An Lianxi withdrew his hand and touched it again.
Xue Shiye had no choice but to let him continue.
An Lianxi acted on a whim.
Xue Shiye suddenly paused and held him down.
An Lianxi looked at him, his eyes turned a little red due to the cold. He looked very pitiful and adorable.
Xue Shiye said: "Okay, let's stop making trouble."
An Lianxi blinked and said softly: "Why?"
The sickest person is, Xue Shiye should listen to him.
"I want it."
Xue Shiye was helpless, "Then don't move."
An Lianxi understood.
Because they hadn't done it for too long, he felt a little uncomfortable, and Xue Shiye couldn't move him again. So since that day, Xue Shiye was waiting for him to recover, but before he recovered, An Lianxi was infected with the cold.
Hearing him say not to move, An Lianxi understood instantly. His face felt hot and he turned around again.
Xue Shiye lowered his eyes and stared at him.
An Lianxi continued.
Xue Shiye said: "Don't mess around."
An Lian snorted and said, "Just messing around."
Xue Shiye sighed softly, "Be good, aren't you dizzy?"
As soon as he finished speaking, An Lianxi stopped moving and leaned back on his shoulder.
Xue Shiye's tight string also loosened.
There was no way, no matter how strong his self-control was, it was useless when facing An Lianxi.
But this time, it seemed that he had gone astray.
Not long after, An Lianxi, who was held by him, moved again.
Xue Shiye was stunned.
An Lianxi raised his face slightly, his body covered with a layer of pink, "Is it true that you can't move?"
Xue Shine's eyes darkened instantly.
An Lianxi said: "I seem to have a fever."
"I'll send someone to ask Doctor Duan." But even if he comes, Duan Xu probably won't recommend any medication. But you always have to invite people to take a look, so that Xue Shiye can feel at ease.
An Lianxi shook his head.
The voice of the person leaning on his shoulder was very soft, and his breath was slightly warm, "Do you... want to give it a try?"
Xue Shiye was stunned.
An Lianxi didn't know if he was confused by the fever. He said, "It seems like it's hot too. You..."
Before he finished speaking, Xue Shiye hugged him tightly, "My dear, don't talk nonsense."
An Lian laughed.
Xue Shine's voice was hoarse, "Get well soon."
Before An Lianxi could say anything, he continued: "Come back when you feel better."
Xue Shiye didn't know how he refused, and his reason was stretched like never before.
But in the end, reason prevails.
Xiaoguai's body is not suitable for doing this. Unless he is really crazy, he will ignore it.
An Lianxi grabbed his sleeve and whispered back: "...Yeah."
He also reacted.
What on earth was I talking about just now...
An Lianxi simply didn't dare to look at Xue Shiye.
How could he say that? He was really confused.
Xue Shiye's emotions were not as chaotic as his. There was joy in his voice and a slight hoarseness, "I'm very happy."
An Lianxi pursed his lips and lowered his eyelashes.
Xue Shiye whispered in his ear, word by word, "I love you so much, little darling."
An Lianxi's heart moved slightly, "Yeah."
Xue Shiye kissed the tip of his ear, hugged the treasure in his arms, and said with treasure in his voice, "Get well soon."
Unlike An Lianxi's shyness, Xue Shiye knew clearly that it was not Xiaoguai who was confused by the burn. He also saw this when he was looking through books on things to pay attention to during pregnancy.
But he didn't expect it to be true.
Although Xue Shiye was pleasantly surprised, he still had to lament the unlucky timing. It was rare for his little boy to take the initiative.
An Lianxi discovered that after that day, Xue Shiye was even more looking forward to his health getting better soon. As for why, he also vaguely understood in his heart.
But his foundation was too poor, and An Lianxi would never recover too quickly.
As soon as the New Year was over, General Xie Lan was about to lead his army to the Northern Territory. On the day when An Lianxi went to see him off, his body was still not fully recovered, and he was lying sickly in Xue Shiye's arms.
The two sat in the carriage and watched the army pass by.
"Little cousin, you are sick, why are you here?" Shen Jue also came to see him off, and couldn't help but say when he saw An Lian's sarcastic look.
An Lianxi coughed, Xue Shiye frowned, patted him on the back, and said, "Xie Jing is a friend."
Shen Jue couldn't help but complain: You treat him as a friend, but he has evil thoughts about you.
At this moment, a tall and thin figure wearing silver armor sat on a tall horse and came over here.
The army was still advancing, with General Xie Lan leading the army towards the city gate.
Seeing the person coming, Shen Jue quickly put down his words.
The curtain was only half open.
Xie Jing caught a glimpse of An Lianxi's side face. His fair face looked sick, but his lips were red and bleeding, and his eyes seemed to contain spring water. He cupped his hands and said, "I have finally met the crown prince and the crown princess."
Xue Shiye glanced at him.
"Thank you both for coming to see me off," Xie Jing said.
An Lianxi: "It's a long way here, and I don't know when we will see each other again. Goodbye, Little General Xie." Because there was General Xie over there, he could only call him "Little General."
Xie Jing didn't care much, "Princess, take care."
His expression was very calm, nothing unusual could be seen, and he treated An Lianxi with nothing special, saying goodbye like an ordinary friend.
An Lianxi also nodded, "Take care."
Xie Jing held his hand again, tightened the reins, turned the horse's head and walked towards the team again.
Seeing him leaving, Shen Jue stretched and said, "It's time for me to go back."
An Lian ridiculed: "Is grandma in good health? I couldn't visit her yesterday."
Because of the cold weather, he didn't even go to the palace banquet, and Xue Shiye also accompanied him.
Shen Jue said: "My ancestor is in good health, but he still talks about you, little cousin."
An Lianxi blushed. Compared with the old lady's body, his body was probably even worse.
"Let's go, let's go." An Lianxi stopped telling him.
Xue Shiye pinched his fingertips with a smile and ordered: "Go back home."
The carriage swayed back to the Prince's Mansion.
At the city gate, a tall horse stood there for a long time, and did not leave until the carriage completely disappeared from sight.
This person is still the same as when we first met him, pure and natural, and I even regard him as a friend...
Xie Jing lowered his eyes.
But, after all, they are not the same people.
The initial good impression is hard to get rid of.
Even if it becomes fresh over time, he may not be able to forget it for a long time. That afternoon, the young man stood in the sunshine, his bright smile burst into his eyes.
Xie Jing took out a small clay figure wearing indigo clothes from his arms and touched it lightly with his calloused fingertips. Then, he put the little man away again, raised his head and looked forward, his eyes stern, and rode towards the army.
As the army of General Zhengbei set off, a few days later, Xue Shiye received news from the shadow guard that the leader of the Yibei tribe passed the throne to the second prince before his death.
When Ugechasu arrived, the leader of the Elbe tribe was already dead.
A war seemed about to break out.
At the same time, Xue Yunqin also made some moves.
At this juncture, Xue Shine originally wanted to stay in the house to guard An Lianxi and wait for him to recover, but he had to go to court.
"I'm almost recovered." When the news came, An Lianxi was also there. Hearing the words, he looked at Xue Shiye, "You go to court."
Xue Shiye looked at him.
An Lianxi has been feeling much better these past two days. When he saw him looking over, he raised his eyebrows and said, "I'll wait for you at home."
Xue Shiye leaned over and kissed him, "Okay."
At the great court meeting, a minister read a book about the Sixth Prince and said that he had close contacts with foreign ministers.
Although the Yibei tribe was already a vassal of Dacheng on the surface, in fact it was so ambitious that Dacheng had to guard against it.
However, the relationship between the sixth prince and Ugchasu caused dissatisfaction among the ministers.
Emperor Mingkang frowned and looked down.
He left it to the Sixth Prince to handle the envoys from the Yibei tribe when they came to court, but it was just to entertain them, which did not mean they could have a close relationship with them.
"What do you want to say?" Emperor Mingkang asked Xue Yunqin.
Xue Yunqin remained unmoved, "If a son or minister is clean, he will be clean himself and give a clear lesson to his father."
After the words fell, there were a lot of discussions in the hall, and Xue Yunqin's eyes calmly swept over the figure in front of him.
Xue Shiye seemed to be aware of it and looked back at him indifferently, then his eyes narrowed slightly.
This is just the beginning.
At this moment, the news that the leader of the Yibei tribe was dead was sent to the emperor. Emperor Mingkang looked at the report, and after reading it, he threw it downwards and accurately threw it into Xue Yunqin's arms, "What else do you have to explain? "
Seeing the emperor's sudden anger, all the ministers fell silent.
Xue Yunqin picked up the memorial Come, lower your head to check, your face darkened for a moment, but quickly calmed down, and you looked directly at Emperor Mingkang, "I have nothing to say."
Emperor Mingkang immediately sneered, "Okay, since you have nothing to say, then I will be dismissed first and stay in your mansion to reflect. When it is time to reflect, come out again."
One sentence made everyone curious about what the report was.
It wasn't until the next day of court that I heard someone say that the Yibei tribe had changed its owner, and the second prince took over as leader. The eldest prince was dissatisfied and wanted to overthrow it.
The Yibei tribe was in chaos because of the struggle between two princes for the throne.
However, at this critical moment.
The eldest prince of the Yibei tribe actually asked the sixth prince for help, which was not in vain. But seeing that the Sixth Prince did not defend himself, but instead accepted the matter, the ministers were vaguely aware of something.
Xue Yunqin didn't want to argue. Even if he argued, Xue Shiye would have no backup plan.
However, what he didn't expect was that Xue Shiye took advantage of him before he was fully prepared to attack the opponent.
Xue Yunqin was detained in the mansion in disguise, which was very similar to the second prince Xue Muchen.
At night, black figures shuttled through the Sixth Prince's Mansion, looking at the figure standing quietly in the corridor.
Xue Yunqin looked over there, "Uncle."
Seeing his dull expression, the shadow couldn't help but click his tongue.
Xue Yunqin: "How are things going?"
If he wants to attack Xue Shinye, he must have a complete plan, otherwise once he is caught, it will be difficult to escape and he may not be completely exposed.
Not realizing that this plan was about to be completed, Xue Yunqin was grounded.
The black figure hid in the darkness, hiding in the shadows, "You are already like this, and you still want to do something?"
Although Xue Shiye was a big stumbling block on Xue Yunqin's road to becoming emperor, shouldn't the top priority be thinking about how to escape from the sixth prince's house?
The black shadow said again: "I have already taken action on Uge Chasu, this useless thing." It is useless to keep it. If it weren't for him, Xue Yunqin would not be grounded.
Xue Yunqin looked at him lightly, "What do you mean?"
Black Shadow: "Your mother's intention is to terminate the plan and get you out first."
Emperor Mingkang had a clear distinction between love and hate. Once he was disgusted, there was no possibility of his coming back.
Xue Yunqin finally frowned, "What does the Queen want to do?"
The other party laughed and said, "You just have to wait."
As he spoke, the black figure gradually disappeared into the night, leaving behind a sentence at the same time.
"This Dacheng throne will only be yours."
Xue Yunqin's eyes darkened and he summoned the secret guards.
The rebellion in the Yibei tribe ended when the eldest prince was injured and fled the northern region, and the second prince successfully inherited the position of leader.
However, at this time, bad news also came from the palace.
Emperor Kangdi of the Ming Dynasty was seriously ill.
Xue Shiye looked at Ying Feng, "What's going on?"
Ying Feng: "Queen Xiao took action, but I can confirm that the medicine has been replaced."
So, why is there still news that Emperor Mingkang is seriously ill?
Seeing that New Year's Eve is approaching, a storm is coming in Dacheng Dynasty.
Xue Shiye was summoned to the palace overnight.
An Lianxi has almost recovered from his illness recently. When he heard that Emperor Mingkang was seriously ill, he wanted to follow him, "How is your father?"
Xue Shiye: "The imperial doctor said...it was poisoning."
An Lianxi was surprised, "How could that happen?"
Things that come into Mingkangdi's entrance are usually inspected at all levels, and there should be no possibility of poisoning.
Xue Shiye pondered, "Go into the palace and have a look."
In the palace, when they learned that the emperor was seriously ill, a large number of people knelt in front of Emperor Mingkang's palace.
Empress Xiao and the concubines gathered together, with serious expressions on their faces.
Seeing Xue Shiye, Queen Xiao said: "The prince is here."
Eunuch Gao was standing outside. When he saw him and An Lianxi, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, you are finally here. Your Majesty is waiting for you."
After saying that, Eunuch Gao looked at An Lianxi again.
An Lianxi understood and whispered to Xue Shiye: "Go in."
At this time, it was not surprising that Emperor Mingkang only saw Xue Shiye, but not long after he entered, Eunuch Gao came out again to invite An Lianxi in.
An Lian scoffed and followed him into the bedroom.
Emperor Mingkang's palace was filled with the smell of medicine, and An Lianxi wanted to cover his mouth as soon as he entered. Before he could make a move, someone came up in front of him and helped him cover his mouth and nose.
Xue Shiye's figure stood in front of him, a familiar aura lingering around him.
An Lianxi calmed down and shook his head, "I'm fine."
It's not like morning sickness, I was just hit by the smell for a moment.
After saying that, he was led forward by Xue Shiye, and then he saw Emperor Mingkang sitting by the bed. The latter didn't look like he was seriously ill, but he was just a little mentally exhausted.
Seeing An Lian Xi, he smiled and waved to him, "Xi'er is here."
As soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Mingkang coughed violently, and there was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, which was not obvious.
Eunuch Gao couldn't bear it.
"Father, your body..." An Lianxi hesitated.
You can't really be poisoned, right?
Emperor Mingkang said: "My health is very good."
He smiled slightly at An Lianxi and said, "I called you here just to ask for your opinions."
Emperor Mingkang first looked at Xue Shiye, and then turned his attention to An Lian Xi, "Will Xi'er be the queen of Dacheng?"
