After the beginning of autumn, the weather was indeed getting cooler day by day. Although Situ Ce took a good breath, he was still weak and could not bear a little wind.
No, I came back from the Ministry of Punishment before the Mid-Autumn Festival. I caught some wind and started coughing.
Fu Qingchu gave him the boiled Qiuli ointment to eat. He looked embarrassed and said, "Can you please slow down?"
"Eat!" Fu Qingchu said without hesitation.
"It's so sweet, my teeth hurt."
"I feel bad when you cough." Fu Qingchu said seriously.
Situ Ce: "..."
Cheng Hehe was overjoyed when he saw it. While peeling the orange, he said with disdain: "You are such a big man, and you are still acting coquettishly, so you are not ashamed."
Situ Ce glared at her, then looked at the green orange in her hand, frowned and said, "Isn't this an orange from the garden?"
"Really? Can't you eat it?" Cheng Hehe looked confused and ate a piece.
"It's not even red yet, and it's not sour either..."
As Situ Ce said this, he suddenly felt something was wrong. Seeing that Situ Ce had stopped talking, Fu Qingchu was stunned for a moment. Only then did he react, and the expression on his face was even more brilliant. He couldn't help but look at Cheng Hehe, "You...can't be..."
She really couldn't say it, after all, she and Situ Ce were considered a "loving couple" on the surface.
"Where did you go? I've loved eating sour food since I was a child! I didn't know that in the early Qing Dynasty, don't you know it yet?" Cheng Hehe glared at Situ Ce angrily, "You two are indeed a match made in heaven, huh!"
Cheng Hehe angrily took another bite of the orange, which made Situ Ce's teeth sore. He quickly took the Qiuli paste and took a sip before he recovered.
Fu Qingchu: "..."
This is a good idea.
…
Despite Fu Qingchu's careful care, Situ Ce still had fever, cough, and cold symptoms. Fu Qingchu thought to himself, fortunately, Situ Jian still understood Xu Xu Tuzhi. If the dose was increased, Situ Ce would have to explain it.
In fact, that's good, it saves him having to go through such a big circle. It's just that when it comes to drugging, his craftsmanship hasn't had the opportunity yet.
"The East Palace is right next to the pass, so the wind will naturally be stronger. If it's convenient, it might be better to move to a place with leeward wind." Fu Qingchu sat by the bed and looked at him worriedly.
Situ Ce frowned and drank the bitter concoction, rinsed his mouth and then said: "Musheng Villa is dry and warm, but if I move there, I will disturb the Holy Emperor. I really don't want him to worry."
"Only the Holy One is worried about being so sick. In my opinion, if the sun comes out and it is warmer tomorrow, we will still have to get through."
Situ Ce thought for a while and said, "That's fine. Let's keep everything simple so as not to make too much noise and alarm the Holy One."
"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away." Fu Qingchu said with a smile.
Fu Qingchu arranged the car and helped Situ Ce get into the car and go to Musheng Villa. At the same time, people who delivered the letters were also arranged. One letter was sent to Prince Jin's Mansion and the other to Qingyun Temple.
…
After receiving the letter, Yun Shen hurried to Musheng Villa. The palace servants led her into the flower hall. When she looked up, she saw Fu Qingchu sitting on the main seat. When he saw her coming, he stood up with a smile.
"Xiangu, you are so polite in the early Qing Dynasty." Fu Qingchu said with a smile.
Yun Shen was a little confused, but he returned the courtesy and said, "I'm sorry to see you here."
Fu Qingchu glanced at Lu Man who was waiting on the side. Lu Man understood and led the palace servants who were waiting on the side to retreat.
"The summoning of the fairy girl this time is as usual, except that the prince has just rested and the fairy girl will wait for a moment." Fu Qingchu looked at Yun Shen and smiled politely.
"You're welcome, young lady. It's an honor for me to serve His Highness."
Hearing this, Fu Qingchu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said with a smile: "There are many highnesses in the palace, and I don't know which one the fairy lady is referring to."
"The girl was joking. We've already arrived at Musheng Villa. Who else could it be?"
Fu Qingchu nodded and smiled warmly: "There are only you and me here, Fairy Girl, but it doesn't matter to tell the truth. Since I can invite Fairy Girl here in the name of the prince, I naturally have a way to keep Fairy Girl safe. There will be more coming to Musheng Villa later. Guest, if Fairy Lady says something that I don’t like to hear, Fairy Lady’s years of practice may be in vain.”
When Yun Shen heard this, he couldn't help but feel shocked. He knelt down and begged, "Please make it clear, girl."
Fu Qingchu curled his lips, picked up the baggage at hand, and put it next to Yun Shen, "You will need the things here later. When guests come, just say that the prince summoned you. As for the things in here, you can say that the prince summoned you." You will understand what you are doing here after reading it. If you say one wrong word, I guarantee you will not be able to walk out of Musheng Villa alive."
"Xiaodao doesn't dare, Xiaodao doesn't dare." Yun Shen nodded hurriedly and said yes.
"Come here, send Immortal Yun Shen to wait outside His Highness's bedroom."
Lu Man pushed the door open and came in, "Xiangu, please come this way."
Yun Shen hurriedly collected the baggage and followed Lu Man.
…
It is said that after Situ Ce drank the medicine and took a rest, he fell into an uneasy sleep. All his dreams were about the scene when Yun Shen tattooed his birthmark. He bit the towel and did not dare to make a sound. Queen Mingde squeezed his hand tightly and told him that if he could not bear the pain for this moment, his life would be over.
He tried his best to wake up from his dream, but fell into another dream. The eldest brother pointed at him with a sword: "You bastard, get out of here quickly. I have cherished our friendship for so many years and at least leave your body intact!"
"Brother, calm down. Tell me who told you this, and I can keep you safe!"
"Bastard, stop talking nonsense and suffer death!"
Situ Li picked up his bow and arrow and shot him in the heart.
Situ Ce suddenly woke up and looked up at the dark roof, sweating profusely and in shock.
"Squeak——"
The door was pushed open, and in a blink of an eye, he saw Yuan Hedi walking in with a livid face, followed by Situ Jian and Fu Qingchu, looking at him coldly.
He hurriedly got up, but because he was too ill and had no strength at all, he fell unsteadily from the bed. No one in the palace dared to step forward to help him.
Emperor Yuan He watched him with cold eyes as he struggled to get up, with suppressed anger in his eyes.
"I have met Your Majesty." He knelt on the ground in thin clothes.
"You are not my son! You are Zhang Min's son, Zhang Jin."
His heart was shocked, and the grievance in his heart could not be increased. He choked and said: "Your Majesty... I am really your son..."
"My son has died a long time ago. The birthmark on your neck was tattooed. Yun Shen and the Zhang family have admitted it. What else do you have to say?" Emperor Yuanhe was furious, "It's so hard for you and Cui to lie to me. ah!"
Listening to Emperor Yuan He talking about the Cui family, Situ Ce felt his heart broken. He looked up at Emperor Yuan He with despair on his face: "If it weren't for the Cui family, there's no telling whether you could be the emperor."
Emperor Yuan He was furious and kicked him, "Come here! Take this sinner who pretends to be a prince and kill him the next day!"
The guard stepped forward, lifted Situ Ce off the ground, and dragged him out.
Situ Jian looked at him with a proud face, and he sneered, as if he had expected this outcome. He turned to look at Fu Qingchu. Fu Qingchu's eyes were cold, looking at him as if he were a dead person.
He felt a sting in his heart and said with a wry smile: "You still listened to him after all."
"It was you who forced my family to rebel. Today you also have a taste of what it's like to be a traitor." Fu Qingchu sneered, suddenly pulled out the guard's knife and stabbed him fiercely.
"Your Highness... Your Highness..."
Situ Ce opened his eyes suddenly and saw Fu Qingchu looking at him with a worried face. He was relieved when he saw that he was awake and hurriedly wiped his sweat with a handkerchief.
"Are you having a nightmare?" She held his face with one hand and asked softly.
He was stunned for a moment, then reached out to touch Fu Qingchu's face. She quickly held his hand with both hands, "I'm here, Your Highness, I've always been there."
He held her hand, put it to his lips and bit it. She frowned in pain, but did not shrink back. Instead, she asked worriedly: "What's wrong?"
"If you're in such pain, you're not dreaming." He smiled lightly.
Fu Qingchu: "..."
She smiled and touched his lips, lowered her head to kiss him, but he avoided it. Seeing her confusion, he hurriedly explained: "What if I infect you?"
Fu Qingchu smiled, held his chin, and kissed him without hesitation, "Pass it to me and you'll get better soon."
"No nonsense!" He immediately lowered his face.
Fu Qingchu pursed his lips and smiled, and then heard the green mane outside the door saying: "Your Highness, the Holy Emperor and King Jin are here to visit Your Highness."
Hearing this, Situ Ce couldn't help frowning, but he really came together as if in a dream.
…
Situ Ce freshened up and changed clothes, and then came out to see Emperor Yuan He, only to see Yun Shen already kneeling in the main hall, and Emperor Yuan He's expression was the same as in his dream.
His heart tightened, but he still pretended to be calm, "My son, I have met my father."
Emperor Yuan He glanced at him and said in a deep voice: "Get up."
"Thank you, Father."
Cheng Shehe hurriedly stepped forward to help Situ Ce sit down. He looked nervous and wanted to say something, but after taking a look at Emperor Yuan He, he dared not say anything.
quiet.
Silence like death.
"My father came late at night, and my son was very frightened. He just didn't know why Fairy Yunshen was here too?" Situ Ce broke the silence.
"I'm afraid I have to ask the prince about this matter." Emperor Yuan He said coldly with a gloomy face.
Situ Ce didn't know why, and turned to look at Cheng An who was following Emperor Yuan He. Cheng An frowned, turned and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Yun Shen's words are just one-sided words. Your Majesty must not be credulous."
Hearing this, Situ Ce couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and sneer in his heart. Sure enough, this matter will be settled tonight.
"One-sided words are indeed not credible, but there are both witnesses and material evidence. What else does Cheng Zhongshu have to say?" Situ Jian on the side said with a sneer, "Xian Gu Yun Shen, please repeat what you just said to the prince."
"Your Majesty, I don't know what Yun Shen told you, but you came to visit me, and Yun Shen appeared here. Don't you think this is too strange?" Situ Ce looked at Yun Shen in confusion. One glance, "Or maybe some people are deliberately planning to drive a wedge between you and your son."
Hearing this, Situ Jian couldn't help but laugh, "Second brother, everything in the world is written by coincidence, and paper cannot contain the fire after all. You wanted to invite Yun Shen tonight, but you certainly didn't expect your father to come, right?"
Situ Ce looked at Situ Jian and felt a little funny, "You are unknown, why did I ask Yun Shen to come here?"
