Celebration banquet.
Everyone feasted around the campfire.
Qiangfang is not very hot in July, especially at night.
"King Han, Mr. Yang admires me! I drank this glass of wine!"
Qin Shuihan also took a sip of wine.
Although Yuquan wine is strong, it is easy to get addictive and the taste is not very good.
He wanted to drink plum blossom wine and wanted to return to the capital.
The bonfire was burning brightly and the smell of barbecue was filling the air.
Under the sky, everything is in harmony.
He pinched his right arm. The shot just now still pierced the tendon.
It hurts.
Qin Shuihan was a little confused, and suddenly he fell to the ground.
"King Cold! King Cold!"
General Yang's voice was as rough as ever. Is he calling himself?
It's so noisy.
Cheng Xian and Mao Zhaosheng put down the barbecue in their hands and hurriedly carried Qin Shuihan into the tent.
The military doctor also rushed over.
"General Yang, King Han has a fever!"
A flash of lightning flashed in Yang Qi's mind.
"The poison of golden juice?"
"General, my subordinates don't know. I just treated King Han's wounds and found nothing unusual..."
Yang Qi smashed the wine bottle on the ground.
"You cure King Han, or if you can't, I'll take off your head!"
The military doctor was crying. Although General Yang always threatened people like this, this time, he seemed to be serious.
"I'll do my best!"
Cheng Xian and Mao Zhaosheng looked at each other. They were no longer in the mood to drink and stayed by Qin Shuihan's side.
As the night passed, the fever seemed to subside a little, but Qin Shuihan still didn't wake up.
The military doctor was heartbroken and decided to trust his own judgment.
The wound didn't suppurate, so he bet it wasn't poisoned by gold juice!
Qin Shuihan was given another antipyretic soup.
"Yi...yi..."
The military doctor took a pulse and looked happy.
"General, Guard Cheng, Captain Mao, King Han's fever is gone!"
"Yi...yi..."
The young military doctor frowned and covered Qin Shuihan with the clothes on the side.
Qin Shuihan turned over and put aside the clothes covering his body.
hot!
"Yi...yi..."
The military doctor had no choice but to cover Qin Shuihan with his clothes.
Cheng Xian couldn't stand it anymore, opened his clothes and stepped aside.
The next step is not the other clothes!
"Doctor, when will King Han wake up?"
"I guess just take the decoction and rest for one night."
Cheng Xian glanced at Mao Zhaosheng.
"General Yang, I humbly prepare to take King Han back to the capital."
Yang Qi humbly performed a military salute.
"Thank you so much this time, King Han and Captain Mao!"
He glanced at Cheng Xian again and said gratefully: "There is also Guard Cheng!"
"The general is serious!"
When I returned to the capital, it was already early August.
"Fifth brother, I have lost weight and become darker."
Qin Shuihan breathed a sigh of relief, it was great to be back alive.
Unexpectedly, on the way back to the capital, he suffered from another fever, which lasted for three days and almost died.
Cheng Xian looked at Qin Yi with difficulty, his imperial brother almost couldn't survive.
"Fifth brother, let's go! I'll make up for you!"
Qin Shuihan shook his head. He had just recovered from a serious illness and wanted to go back home to rest.
"Xiao Qi, take me back home, I'm tired."
Back at the house, Butler Wu was already standing at the door looking around.
"My lord, you are finally back!"
Qin Shuihan nodded and forced out a faint smile.
Seeing two big trees in the courtyard, Qin Shuihan looked at the housekeeper with questioning eyes.
"Your Majesty, this is the osmanthus tree that was delivered a few days ago..."
Qin Shuihan's heart twitched, but he still tried to appear calm.
"Plant it in Jinghan Pavilion."
"Yes, I will do it immediately, old slave."
"How are you doing at home?"
"Reply to the prince, everything is fine."
As soon as I passed the guest room, I heard an unpleasant pipa sound.
Qin Shuihan lowered his eyes, not even bothering to frown.
This woman's pipa has not improved at all.
"Butler, get some porridge and side dishes and send them to the study."
Qin Yi rolled his eyes and frowned, Fifth brother has no appetite?
He set his sights on Cheng Xian and would later find out from him what happened to Fifth Brother in the Western Region.
"Xiao Qi, come to the study and tell me what happened during this period."
Qin Yi nodded and followed Qin Shuihan helplessly to the study.
Seeing the booklet on the table, Qin Shuihan quickly started reading it.
Xuanfeng very considerately divided the folds into categories.
After reading through the emergency information, Qin Shuihan breathed a sigh of relief.
No big deal.
The two of them talked intermittently.
"Father, how are you?"
"It's okay. But regarding the draft, my father canceled the summer draft."
"Father is fifty-four."
Qin Yi flipped through the "New History of Yuanjian". It was a new edition, and the editor was Qian Wei.
Brother Bai’s elder brother Bai Ye’s teacher? !
He remembered something.
"Fifth brother, Qi Yuyan has been appointed as Taifu and Taibao. My father seems to be still hesitating about the candidate."
Qin Shuihan snorted, which sounded very nasal.
"In this regard, my father's vision has always been bad. But what's rare is that my father has never chosen a candidate for the Grand Master."
Qin Yi laughed out loud, and the fifth brother spoke without mercy.
"Fifth brother, Brother Bai's elder brother has both ability and political integrity. Do you want to recommend him to be the Taifu?"
"Father is suspicious, so I advise you not to bother yourself."
Qin Yi frowned. It was right to think about it. Everyone knew about the relationship between Fifth Brother and Big Brother Bai.
Butler Wu knocked on the door and brought a piece of porridge and snacks.
Qin Shuihan drank half of the drink and asked his servants to withdraw.
"Fifth brother, are you feeling unwell? Why do you eat so much?"
"I just came back, I'm a little tired."
"Then why don't you rest?"
"There are still a few files, so take a break after reading them."
After speaking, Qin Shuihan couldn't help but cough a few times.
Qin Yi frowned and must ask Cheng Xian later!
"Xiao Qi, ask the people from Fengying Pavilion to bring Xia Ruoyu."
"who?"
"Wagangsige, Ge Jingci's lover."
Qin Yi was petrified on the spot. The fifth brother's words contained so much information.
But that Ge Jingci is really a stunning beauty, like a fairy descending to earth.
He thought again of the chance encounter at Fifth Brother's house that day, and when he looked back, he smiled more than Xinghua.
"Fifth brother, Miss Ge is indeed stunningly beautiful, haha——"
"Um."
"It's just that my piano skills are a bit poor——"
"Um."
Qin Yi rolled his eyes, what does Fifth Brother mean?
"Fifth brother, are you going to kill his lover in front of Miss Ge...?"
Qin Shuihan put down his brush, turned to look at Qin Yi, and looked at Qin Yi with a clear and sincere look, then turned around and continued to handle official duties.
"..."
Qin Yi also picked up "Yuanjian New History" and continued reading.
"Fifth brother, do you remember Su Xiaoling? He is this year's top martial arts scholar. My father just kept him by his side. I don't know if he can join the Golden Armor Guard or the Yulin Army."
Qin Shuihan put down his brush and thought for a moment.
"Let the people from Fengying Pavilion check his information."
"good."
After a long time, Qin Shuihan finally decided to take a rest.
Qin Yi said, "Go to bed." Then he walked to the inner court of the guards.
"Cheng~Xian~"
At this time, Cheng Xian had already gone to see Duke Zhou.
Qin Yi took a few steps, unwilling to accept it, pulled out a piece of grass, pushed the door open and walked in.
Snoring like thunder!
Qin Yi kept scratching his face with the grass.
Cheng Xian scratched a few times and suddenly realized that there was someone in front of him.
Qin Yi covered his mouth with one hand and put an arm against his chest.
"Cheng Xian, it's me."
Qin Yi let go of his hand.
Cheng Xian was completely awake. King Yi stayed up in the middle of the night. What was he doing in his room?
He lit the oil lamp and looked at Qin Yi with dead eyes.
"King Yi, what are you doing?"
Qin Yi smiled lightly and then sat on a chair nearby.
"Cheng Xian, is fifth brother not in good health? I want to know what happened in the Western Region."
So that’s what happened.
Cheng Xian drank a cup of tea and slowly reported to Qin Yi what happened in the Western Region.
As summer passes and autumn comes, the clouds clear and the fog finally clears.
After months of turmoil between the DPRK and China, a brief period of stagnation finally ushered in.
Emperor Qin Ming looked at Qin Shuihan with satisfaction. Sure enough, this son was the best.
However, during the days when Han'er went on the expedition, as a wise emperor, Emperor Qin Ming believed that he had done a lot of things that benefited the people and worked hard.
Although he could not reduce taxes, he promulgated commercial regulations that strongly supported Yongji Canal and Tongji Canal.
It is undeniable that it was to reduce Zhen Wei's influence in Zhuocheng.
But for Zhen Qiang, Emperor Qin Ming did say that he would not kill her, which was the result of a game with the Zhen family.
Qin Shuihan in the court still looked cold and aloof, but his eyes were a little more cold and less cold.
Qin Huan no longer had the calmness of the past, and his face was full of exhaustion.
The two looked at each other out of the corner of their eyes.
The fifth brother is dark and thin, and it turns out that the Western Region is very difficult.
What happened to the sixth brother to be so decadent, but Xiao Qi didn't mention anything yesterday.
During the few months that Qin Shuihan was in the Western Region, Qin Huan's mansion was in a state of chaos.
He deeply regretted bringing Lin Xuan'er into his residence.
Originally, she just wanted Lu Yi'er and Lin Xuan'er to be companions, but she didn't expect that Lin Xuan'er would make things difficult for her in every possible way.
Not only did he despise Lu Yi'er as a fireworks woman, but he also said that she was Yi'er's substitute.
Qin Huan didn't bother to pay attention to these things, but Lin Xuan'er had people beat Lu Yi'er twenty times.
To be fair, Lu Yi'er was completely obedient to him and was a competent interpreter.
Going down twenty boards would cost Lu Yi'er most of his life.
Qin Huan arranged for two guards to protect Lu Yi'er.
Who would have thought that Lin Xuan'er would force her way into Lu Yi'er's yard with the help of the child in her belly.
Qin Huan sighed. Fortunately, he arrived at the house in time that day, otherwise Lu Yi'er would really be killed by Lin Xuan'er.
When did Lin Xuan'er become so vicious?
His thoughts drifted to a long time ago.
That seemed to be the first time I met Lin Yi.
This person has passed away...
But it was his own fault, why did he marry her?
Lin Xuan'er gave birth to a boy, but unfortunately it was stillborn.
To this day, Qin Huan has not recovered from this blow.
Emperor Qin Ming felt a little dissatisfied with Qin Huan's sigh.
If you are jealous of Han'er, learn how to govern the country!
Qin Yi looked at his fifth brother distressedly. After listening to Cheng Xian's report last night, he was afraid for a while. What if he couldn't see his fifth brother?
As soon as the court ended, Qin Yi pulled Qin Shuihan onto the carriage.
"Fifth brother, go back home quickly! Have a good rest!"
"Xiaoqi, what's wrong?"
"I asked Cheng Xian last night, why didn't you tell me if you were not well?"
Qin Shuihan looked at him expressionlessly.
Those were all minor illnesses. I practiced in Hanquan as usual in the morning and didn't feel any discomfort.
But facing Qin Yi's face of farewell, Qin Shuihan still said gently: "I'm sorry, Xiao Qi, for making you worry."
Qin Yi shook his head.
"I'll go back home and change some clothes, and then I'll find you."
"good."
But not long after returning to the house, people from Fengying Pavilion brought Xia Ruoyu over.
"See His Highness King Han."
Xia Ruoyu knelt on the ground, feeling very complicated.
The man in front of me is the famous King Han, Jingci’s husband!
"No need to be polite."
Qin Shuihan glanced at the chair beside him and motioned for him to sit down and talk.
Xia Ruoyu had a tense face and sat down with an upright look. He didn't understand why King Han invited him to the capital.
But it was more like a threat than an invitation.
"What does Xia Sige think of the people's sentiments in Wagang?"
Xia Ruoyu's head felt a little stuffy and she didn't know what Qin Shuihan meant by asking.
"The folk customs of Wagang are simple. Although the place is small, it is located at the intersection of three counties. It cannot be compared with the capital city, but it is still a prosperous place."
Qin Shuihan took a sip of tea and asked straight to the point: "Are you willing to take Ge Jingci away?"
Take Jingci away?
Xia Ruoyu frowned, stood up straight, and knelt on the ground with a plop.
Xuanfeng looked at him alertly, his expression seemed a bit dangerous.
"King Han, Ji Zhi and Ge Jingci are innocent!"
"This prince and Miss Ge are also innocent."
Xia Ruoyu was stunned for a moment. What did King Han mean?
After a long while, he said weakly: "I don't understand what King Han means..."
Qin Shuihan took a sip of tea and ordered Xuanfeng: "Go and call Miss Ge."
"yes."
After a while, Ge Jingci followed Xuanfeng to the banquet hall.
"My little girl pays homage to King Han."
This was the second time she saw Qin Shuihan.
There was a man kneeling in front of King Han.
who is he?
Why is the back so familiar?
"The king called you both here to make it clear face to face. Xia Sige, I ask you again, are you willing to take Miss Ge away?"
"Ruoyu?! Is it really you?"
Ge Jingci exclaimed and walked to the man's side.
Xia Ruoyu turned sideways and looked at her, with an indescribably complicated mood.
She is still the same in his mind, but she is King Han's woman.
What identity do I have to meet her!
"it's me."
Although Ge Jingci didn't know what happened, she immediately knelt down next to Xia Ruoyu.
"King Han, I'm humble...I really want to take Jingci away."
"Okay. I will give you a letter of divorce to satisfy both of you."
Qin Shui looked at the two of them coldly and considered that he had dealt with this woman.
"King Han, you and I are not husband and wife...there is no reality of husband and wife, nor the name of husband and wife. Why do you want to give me a divorce letter?"
Ge Jingci looked aggrieved.
"You were given to me by my father, so there must be a suitable reason."
Ge Jingci looked at him half-understanding, then turned to look at Xia Ruoyu.
She didn't understand what it meant.
Xia Ruoyu reacted suddenly and kowtowed immediately to thank him.
"I understand the humble position! Thank you King Han!"
"You are Welcome."
Qin Shuihan stood up, picked up a pen and paper and began to write a letter of divorce.
Xia Ruoyu couldn't hide the smile on his lips. He unconsciously held Ge Jingci's hand, but he still didn't understand why such a good thing happened to him.
The King Han in front of him didn't seem to be a bad guy.
"King Han, may I ask you the reason..."
Qin Shuihan did not turn around and continued to write the letter of divorce.
"I don't like her."
"..."
Xia Ruoyu glanced at Ge Jingci and really didn't understand why such a cute and charming Jingci was not welcomed by King Han.
Ge Jingci pursed her lips in embarrassment. She knew Qin Shuihan didn't like her, but she didn't care.
"Jingci is the cutest woman. Although she occasionally gets a little confused, she is kind-hearted, innocent and lovely. Many men admire her..."
"In my eyes, she is too stupid."
"..."
Ge Jingci also pouted.
King Han’s words are always so hurtful!
Qin Shuihan took out the jade seal in his arms and covered it.
"Haha...King Han is right..."
Xia Ruoyu squeezed Ge Jingci's hand to express comfort.
Qin Shuihan turned around and handed the divorce letter to Xia Ruoyu.
"How do you deal with Lieutenant Ge Xian's disdain for your family background?"
Suddenly the smile on Xia Ruoyu's face disappeared.
Indeed, just because King Han can let go does not mean that he can marry Jingci!
"The humble position will work hard to gain the recognition of Lieutenant Ge County."
Qin Shuihan snorted, people's greed is endless, how can they be recognized by a person who loves vanity.
I'm afraid that if Si Ge had worked hard for a long time, Ge Jingci would have been used as a pawn by her father to marry someone else.
"I can help you, but are you willing to become a county magistrate?"
Xia Ruoyu looked at Qin Shuihan in disbelief.
He lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and finally, as if he had made up his mind, he answered affirmatively: "Yes!"
"Okay, I'll give you three years to achieve results. If you can't do it, don't blame me for finding someone to replace you."
"Thank you, King Han! King Han's great kindness will be unforgettable despite his humble position!"
Qin Shuihan nodded.
Fengying Pavilion's investigative information showed that Si Ge, named Xia Ruoyu, was an upright man and devoted himself to the people. Although his qualifications were a bit lacking, with a little support, he might be able to go further.
"Magistrate Xia, I am waiting for your achievements."
