Dianxia Qingcheng

Chapter 72: What's the gossip

Pei Zheng's eyes changed.

Li Yu also followed in the door and cupped his hands to Pei Zheng, "Mr. Pei, Imperial Physician Jiang he..."

Pei Zheng waved his hand, but Li Yu didn't say much.

"What's the gossip?"

Jiang Yubai glanced at the little man lying on the bed, "Master Pei asked me about this, shouldn't you be more clear about it?"

Pei Zheng's eyes darkened a bit.

"You come with me."

After saying that, he walked out the door.

The little man under the quilt showed his eyes, looked at Jiang Yubai, and suddenly rolled his eyes to greet him.

Jiang Yubai pulled out a smile, nodded at Qi Changyi, and then walked out the door.

Li Yu hurried to the bed and picked up the clothes on the ground.

Qi Changyi blinked twice, "Little Yuzi, where are Brother Pei and Imperial Doctor Jiang going?"

Li Yu shook his head.

"His Royal Highness, the servants don't know either, but just now, Imperial Physician Jiang came in a hurry, saying that he wanted to check your pulse, but who knows that he has left."

"Oh fine."

"Your Highness, put on your clothes first, the others are frozen, and it's time for dinner later."

But Pei Zheng didn't come back until dinner was over.

It was getting dark, and candlesticks were lit in the small building.

When Jiang Yubai pushed the door open again, Qi Changyi hadn't rested.

"Your Highness, why haven't you slept so late?"

"Doctor Jiang, why are you here?"

"I've been delaying my work for a while this afternoon, and I'm coming to see you now."

Saying that, Jiang Yubai walked over to the bed and took Qi Changyi's pulse.

"The body is recovering well, but don't take it lightly. You can't sleep so late in the future, and you can't stop taking the medicine in the morning." Qi Changyi shrank his neck and nodded obediently.

"Doctor Jiang, I know, I will definitely go to bed early and get up early to take medicine on time, so that I can get better soon. Right?"

Jiang Yubai tapped on his forehead, "It's good that you know."

"Doctor Jiang, can I ask you a question?"

"Your Highness, just ask directly."

Qi Changyi hesitated for a moment, then lowered his head and tugged at the clothes on his lap.

"This afternoon, where did you and Brother Pei go?"

The smile on Jiang Yubai's mouth suddenly froze.

"Uh... I just went to Master Pei's study and talked about some other things. As a child, you shouldn't worry about so much. It's business to be happy and take care of your body, do you hear?"

"I see."

Qi Changyi lowered his head. Mood is very low.

Jiang Yubai didn't know how to comfort him, "Master Pei has something to go out. It seems that the emperor announced him, so he went into the palace."

Qi Changyi didn't speak, but buried his head deeper.

Jiang Yubai was silent for a while, then turned to Li Yudao, "Let him drink the medicine before going to sleep. Also, it's been extremely cold outside recently, don't let him go out."

Li Yu responded one by one.

"His Royal Highness, rest early, I will go back today, and I will come to see you tomorrow."

"Um!"

A smile finally appeared on Qi Changyi's face.

Jiang Yubai immediately walked out the door.

In the next few days, Jiang Yubai would come to the small building every day. With his company and Li Yu's company, Qi Changyi could not go out and could only be trapped in the small building, which didn't seem so difficult.

Pei Zheng has been so busy recently that he hasn't even been in the backyard, and often stays in the palace for a day. When we returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, the candlelight in the backyard building had been extinguished for a long time.

He glanced at it from a distance, then turned and left.

Although I didn't go to see Qi Changyi very much, the entire Prime Minister's Mansion was given orders. The people who lived in the small building in the back garden must serve them carefully. He is also the smartest person in the whole house.

With Jiang Yubai's daily care, Qi Changyi's body was recuperated quickly, and he was able to walk down the ground in a few days.

It was already freezing cold outside, and Qi Changyi had been trapped for a long time. He only felt that the bones all over his body were itchy, and he really wanted to go out for a walk.

He begged Jiang Yubai several times, but Jiang Yubai finally let go and allowed Li Yu to take him around in the back garden.

- Stepping on the door of the small building, cold and fresh air was instantly poured into his lungs, Qi Changyi took a deep breath, choked by the cold air, and coughed a few times.

Li Yu quickly brought him a fluffy white robe and put it on.

"His Royal Highness, it's really cold outside, why don't we go back to the house, wait until it's sunny, or when you're in better shape, let's go out for a good stroll, maybe we can get out of the Prime Minister's Mansion."

"Little Yuzi, I really don't want to go to bed anymore. I've been lying down for so long... Don't worry about me, I'm really fine."

Li Yu couldn't help but he said, "Okay, let's walk slowly. If you feel any discomfort, tell me quickly, and we'll go back to the house to rest."

"it is good."

Li Yu walked out slowly with Qi Changyi in his arms.

The back garden is very large. There is a bamboo forest next to the small building and a lotus pond. On the pond is a delicate pavilion with carved beams and painted buildings.

There are some rockeries and trees not far away, but all the leaves have fallen off, and they are bare, looking a bit deserted and bleak.

"His Royal Highness, I heard that this backyard was where Lord Pei lived before he became an official. At that time, Lord Pei's father had not passed away, that is, the last Pei Cheng.

The two walked along a cobblestone path while talking, and suddenly looked up and found a small yard in front of them, with the word "Plum Garden" written on it.

The weather is already so cold, but it hasn't snowed yet, and the plum blossoms in the plum garden have not bloomed either. The huge flower bones are almost unable to cover the bright red inside, but they just refuse to bloom.

This plum garden is very similar to the one Qi Changyi remembered.

Qi Changyi stopped at the door and watched for a while.

Li Yu asked inexplicably, "Your Highness, you want to enjoy plum blossoms."

The plum garden in the palace is very beautiful every winter. Li Yu has seen it once, and the whole garden is blood-red with the white snow in the sky. Once he has seen it, he will never forget it.

"Speaking of which, what is your favorite flower, Your Highness? Is it the plum blossom?"

Qi Changyi thought for a while and then shook his head gently, "No, my favorite flower is the lotus, the red lotus."

"Red Lotus." Li Yu nodded.

The two turned around and walked out of the plum garden, but suddenly saw a figure standing at the end of the path.

The man was wearing a golden silk white robe, his face was a little haggard, and his eyes were much duller than before.

After Qi Changyi saw the man clearly, the surprised voice could not be hidden.

"Fourth Brother!"

Li Yu also hurriedly saluted, "I have seen His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince."

Qi Changfeng moved his steps and walked over.

"Fourth brother, why are you here? Did you come to see me specifically?"

Qi Changyi excitedly ran to Qi Changfeng's side and gently pulled his sleeve.

"Yeah, I haven't seen you for so long, I'll come and see you."

Qi Changfeng calmly pulled back his sleeves, and then said, "I'm relieved to see that you're all right, then I'll go back first."

After saying that, he turned to leave.

"Fourth brother!" Qi Changyi shouted, "Are you leaving so soon? I still have a lot to say to you..."

When Qi Changyi spoke, crystal tears appeared in the corners of his eyes, and the tip of his nose was a little red.

Qi Changfeng finally couldn't bear to turn around, looked at him and said, "Okay, don't cry, I'm not leaving, just say something."

"Fourth brother, I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss you..."

Tears rolled down from the corners of Qi Changyi's eyes, and hot tears ran across his cold cheeks, leaving two trails of tears.

Qi Changfeng looked at his tearful eyes and said it was impossible to say that he was not soft-hearted at all.

"Don't cry, I came to see you this time under the order of the father. It's all my fault. I didn't have any evidence to tell the past to the father, which made the father furious."

Qi Changyi worried, "Did the royal father scold you? Fourth brother, don't be sad, the royal father definitely didn't do it on purpose."

"Heh." Qi Changfeng sneered, "Isn't it intentional? The royal father gave me a mansion and asked me to move out of the palace. Wasn't this intentional? This is clearly out of sight!"

"Moving out of the palace... Where do you live now, fourth brother?"

"A remote place in the Imperial City is naturally inferior to the Prime Minister's Mansion. I think you are happy to live here. How good is your relationship with your enemies?"

Qi Changyi quickly shook his head, "Fourth brother, I don't want to either. I want to move back to the palace, but brother Pei won't let me go..."

"I don't think you want to leave, don't you. Didn't you like him since you were a child? Isn't this what you want now?"

"No, no, not like that..."

Qi Changyi shook his head while crying.

Qi Changfeng's heart is also depressed. He has been neglected by the emperor recently, not only because he mentioned the past, but also because he made some small moves in the court.

Taking advantage of Pei Zheng's absence, Qi Changfeng secretly wanted to win over the power of the Queen's family, trying to trip him before Pei Zheng came back, but he didn't expect that within a few days of Pei Zheng's return, the alliance of forces he had worked so hard to build collapsed.

Qi Changfeng was not reconciled. What he wanted was more than just a little prince. What he wanted was the crown prince of the East Palace, and he wanted that crown in the future, so he couldn't make mistakes, not even a single step.

But now his power is being suppressed by Pei Zheng everywhere, he can't raise his head, it can be said that he is struggling.

Today, he deliberately chose a time when Pei Zheng was away to come to the Prime Minister's Mansion. He not only wanted to see his own younger brother, but actually wanted to use Qi Changyi to clear up the relationship between Pei Zheng and see if he could let Pei Zheng let him go and give him something to do. A respite.

But he looked at this little man who missed him so much, and in the end he couldn't say anything.

"Okay, I don't care what it looks like. You can do whatever you want in the future." Qi Changfeng said, "Are you finished? I'm leaving after that."

Qi Changyi wiped his tears hard, and looked at Qi Changfeng's tired face, "Fourth brother... Have you been having a bad time recently?"

Qi Changfeng's body froze, and his eyes felt a little warm.

Are you having a bad time?

Does anyone care if he's doing well?

Except for this little fool, it seems that no one has ever asked himself such a sentence.
