Yu Lufang Xi hurriedly followed him out, and found that it was raining outside gradually, but it was not heavy and there was no need to hold an umbrella if it was cold. Su Ziji walked along the palace road without taking a ride, so the two of them could only follow.
Su Ziji stretched out his hand to catch the drizzle. The distant palace gate stood in the night sky, the palace lanterns were dazzling, and there were many figures, as if there were ghosts.
"With the emperor's clear instructions, Monk Fang's sword and the king's command card, we won't plunge into the quagmire."
"In other words, we still have to fight in the quagmire, but there are more ropes on the shore, which can save lives in critical situations."
"But these two things are actually given by others. If you can give them, you can naturally take them back. If you take them back at the critical moment, you may not be able to climb up."
This matter must be very difficult.
Precisely because he knew this, Su Ziji's mood became even more complicated when he glanced at the two people following him from the corner of his eye.
Yu Lu has a steady temperament, but when faced with an investigation into Qidacang that can make him famous in history, he can't help but feel excited and his face turns slightly red.
Not to mention Fang Xi, for Fang Xi, what happened today was like a dream.
Whether suddenly a new village suddenly lights up, a broken jar turns into a winner, or whether he is immediately appointed to an errand and is regarded as one of the deputy imperial envoys, these are all extremely unbelievable things that Fang Xi never dared to expect in the past. thing.
But now, what he had fantasized about countless times appeared in front of him, as if it was at his fingertips. How could he not make his feet tremble?
"Meeting the Lord of the Ming Dynasty, assisting in important events, favoring history, and protecting my wife, this is what I wish for in my life. We will take advantage of the rare opportunity and do our best." Fang Xi suddenly felt a sense of mission, and his face became even redder.
Inside the palace
It became quiet and everyone went out. The emperor could no longer bear it and coughed violently.
His current cough was different from the previous cough. The previous cough in front of his great-grandson was an ordinary cough, but now his face was red and he almost coughed out his heart and lungs.
"Your Majesty, please drink some water." Hu Huaian turned pale with fright and hurriedly stepped forward to serve him.
The emperor frowned when he saw that Hu Huaian had brought warm water to him to soothe his throat, but there was nothing but warm water.
Don't you see my current situation?
If it were Zhao Bingzhong, he would not be so blind and only busy with these useless things.
"Go and get the Small Return Pill." The emperor had no choice but to order.
Hu Huaian didn't realize until the emperor frowned and said this, that he hadn't noticed this. He was annoyed, but he didn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly responded: "Yes!"
So he hurried out to get the Xiao Huan Dan.
He had just taken office not long ago, and although he had been used in important positions in the past, he was not like Zhao Bingzhong, the eunuch who always accompanied the emperor, or even less so than Ma Shunde.
It’s not that I don’t know anything about the emperor’s living habits and the things that need to be delivered in time, and it’s not that I can’t do them well, but sometimes I’m just a little slow.
And this half-beat is nothing to ordinary people. After all, everyone has a familiarization process. This process is considered short for Hu Huaian.
In fact, he still handled everything in an orderly manner, which was not too bad.
But the problem is that the person Hu Huaian is serving now is the king of a country, the emperor, or the emperor who is terminally ill, old and weak.
This slow pace can easily displease the person he serves.
Hu Huaian was also very aware of this. When he realized that he had made a mistake in this matter, he hurriedly made amends.
Fortunately, the Xiao Huan Dan was not far away, and he quickly retrieved the Xiao Huan Dan.
After waiting for a while, the emperor's face became gloomy, but he did not have an attack. Under Hu Huaian's service, he swallowed the Xiaohuan Dan with warm water.
Feeling a warm current flowing to his internal organs, the tired body was replenished. The feeling of trying to cough quickly dissipated, and the pain in his throat was no longer uncomfortable. The emperor took a breath, raised his eyelids, and looked at the person in front of you.
"Back off."
"……yes."
Glancing at the retreating people, the emperor lowered his eyelids to cover up a trace of annoyance in his eyes.
After all, he is not as good as Zhao Bingzhong.
When he arrived at the palace gate and looked at the dim sky and palace, the emperor suddenly felt panicked.
"People say that the sunset is infinitely better, but it's almost dusk."
"It's not dusk anymore, it's night. I really don't have much time. I can't wait any longer. I must speed up."
"..."
When Su Ziji walked out of the palace gate, his body suddenly became cold.
"Well?"
After looking at the gold-lacquered steel-nailed palace door and the dozen or so guards standing on the nails, I realized that my body was almost immune to cold and heat, and I would no longer suffer from the cold.
The weather is no longer cold now. Even if there is a cold wind blowing, it will not make me feel a sudden chill.
Su Ziji realized something, and the smile disappeared from his face. He stood and thought about it, and couldn't help but sigh. He even couldn't help but feel a trace of sadness. As an emperor, a powerful emperor, even if he is old, he is still a tiger that can hurt people. .
"Emperor, it seems that I can't wait any longer."
Su Ziji naturally felt something. In fact, it happened more than once, but the previous feelings were not as deep as this one.
This feeling was the same as when Su Ziji realized that the emperor was too anxious in the palace, it represented something unusual.
After leaving the palace gate, there was an ox cart parked in an open space not far away. It was the palace cart that came to pick up Su Ziji.
The bullock cart is large and can accommodate multiple people riding together.
Su Ziji asked Yu Lu and Fang Xi, "You two came here with people from the palace. We can't recruit bullock carts here, so why don't we send you back alone."
"Thank you for your help, grandson." Yu Lu and Fang Xi said hurriedly.
When Su Ziji got in the car, he found that Taoist Ye and Wen Xunpeng were both there. As soon as he came in, he handed over a warm towel: "Your Highness, please wipe your face."
"Although the weather is getting warmer, it's very easy to catch a cold when it's cold and warm."
Su Ziji took the towel and wiped it, then glanced at Yu Lu Fang Xi who followed in.
Fang Xi was so excited that even when she followed the oxcart to Taisun's mansion, her face was full of excitement and she couldn't help but talk about what happened just now.
"I will go to Yu Lin's Mansion later. I must investigate the grain depot clearly and make decisions for the people, so that I can live up to Han Chuang's ten years of hard study!"
"It doesn't live up to my conscience either."
Yu Lu, who had always been calm, couldn't help but nod at this moment and whispered: "The founding of the country has not been long ago, and the officialdom is still available. We want to clean up the atmosphere!"
"After the exemption comes, it will be difficult to clean up."
Although the two of them were whispering, looking at their faces, they naturally listened to the conversation word for word. Both Ye Taoist and Wen Xunpeng couldn't help but glance at them.
Su Ziji thought thoughtfully, glanced at it, and smiled: "Don't take this matter simply. The grain depot has many yamen and officials involved, and it is very involved."
Fang Xi looked over and said in a deep voice: "Grandson, please rest assured. No matter how deep the water is, I will jump in and explore it. I must find out the truth!"
Su Ziji: "..."
He looked at Yu Lu again and saw that Yu Lu also nodded and said seriously: "Your Majesty, even if you are sitting on the throne, we will investigate clearly and deal with it clearly!"
When Su Ziji heard this, he was not only unhappy but also shocked.
"Well, Gu expected it right. Yushi Zhang Dai, like these two friends of mine, must be an extremely upright person who can't get rid of the dirt in his eyes. But as the saying goes, when the three pure things come to the door, nine cows can't pull them back, so they can drag them out. I fell into the quagmire, ruining my life and great things."
