Brother Lan got off the carriage and was held by Fang Jinbao all the way.
He put his arms around Fang Jinbao's neck and said in a sweet voice, "Eunuch Fang, I can come down and walk by myself. It's very tiring for you to hold me."
Fang Jinbao felt so energetic all over his body, why was he so tired?
This palace road is so long, and you have to walk so far to get to Changding Hall. What should the young master do if he is tired from walking!
"It's okay, my slave is in good health. You won't get tired even if you hold her for as long as you want."
Brother Lan sighed arrogantly and wanted to say: You are sweating on your forehead, why are you so stubborn?
Halfway there, he gave up on Fang Jinbao's embrace, climbed onto the back of a guard, and then arrived at Changding Hall.
At the door, Emperor Xihe's personal eunuch was waiting with a smile. After Fang Jinbao exchanged a few greetings, he bent down and said to Lan Ge'er with a smile: "Is it okay for the eldest son to go in by himself? The emperor is inside, and the servants have been waiting for you at the door. See you. Your Majesty, my servant will take you back to your home."
Brother Lan let go of Fang Jinbao's hand, nodded and walked in.
Emperor Xihe looked a bit thinner than before, and the dark blue in his eyes had not faded. He sat on a chair and waved to Brother Lan, "Come here, let Grandpa Huang see if Brother Lan has grown taller recently."
Lan Geer bowed politely and then trotted over.
Emperor Xihe hugged him and smiled happily: "I have grown a little taller. Are your brothers good? Have you gained weight?"
"The brothers are very good, but not very fat. I should say they are very cute." Lan Geer corrected seriously.
He is very protective of his shortcomings. In his opinion, his brothers are all good, and their chubby figures are also very good.
Emperor Xihe laughed, laughed and coughed a few times.
Lan Geer cleverly brought the tea on the table and handed it to Emperor Xihe: "Grandpa Emperor, please slow down and drink some water."
Emperor Xihe turned his head and coughed a few more times. He took a few sips of the tea in Brother Lan's hand and regained his composure.
"Ahem... I don't know what's wrong with Grandpa Huang recently. He keeps coughing. Brother Lan, please stay away from me, so as not to infect you."
Lan Geer obeyed and stood a little further away, his little face wrinkled, and he said worriedly: "Have you let the imperial doctor take a look? You need to take medicine when you are sick. You will be fine after taking the medicine."
"You're so worried, little lord!" Emperor Xihe patted Brother Lan's shoulder with tenderness in his heart, "Grandpa Huang has seen the imperial doctor, everything is fine."
As soon as he finished speaking, a voice of greeting came from outside.
"This slave has met the Queen."
It was Queen Xu. Emperor Xihe raised his voice and said, "Let the Queen come in."
Queen Xu came in with a medicine bowl. When she saw Brother Lan, she paused and then said with a smile: "I was afraid that the emperor would forget to drink the medicine, so I came here specially. I didn't expect that Brother Lan was here."
Lange'er put on a polite smile and saluted seriously: "Lange'er has seen the Queen's grandmother and wishes to pay her respects to the Queen's grandmother."
"Good boy, get up." Empress Xu carried the medicine bowl and went straight to Emperor Xihe. She whispered softly, "I heard that you didn't take medicine last night. How can this be okay? The medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor To drink well, your dragon body is the most important thing.”
Emperor Xihe wiped his face helplessly and said sarcastically: "Why does the queen even know such a trivial matter?"
"Do you think my concubine is too lenient?" Empress Xu pretended to be dissatisfied, her drooping eyebrows instantly became lower, "Or do you think I have offended you?"
"You are sick, and Xianzhi is also sick. You are both the most important people to me. I am far away and can't take care of Xianzhi. Why can't I care more about you?"
Emperor Xihe scratched his ears uncomfortably and glanced at Lan Ge'er, who had his eyes wide open curiously. He whispered: "Lan Ge'er is still here!"
Queen Xu stopped and urged: "Then drink the medicine quickly."
Emperor Xihe drank the medicine in one breath and frowned. When Brother Lan saw it, he immediately brought the tea over.
"Brother Lan is so sensible!" Emperor Xihe drank tea to ease the bitterness in his mouth.
Queen Xu watched him drink the medicine herself, with a strange look in her eyes. She put away the medicine bowl with a smile, and said wisely: "Okay, I won't disturb you and Brother Lan, please step aside." ”
Xi Hedi wiped his mouth, waved his hand and said: "Go ahead, I will remember to take the medicine next time, so the queen doesn't have to come here specially."
Lan Ge'er looked extremely miserable. After Queen Xu left, he gave Emperor Xihe a candied fruit.
"It won't feel bitter after eating this. Try it."
In Lan Ge'er's expectant eyes, Emperor Xihe still didn't put the candied fruit into his mouth. He smiled and said: "It's not bitter anymore. Grandpa Huang is an adult, so there is no need to eat candied fruit."
Brother Lan was not disappointed either. He looked away calmly and said obediently: "Oh."
After returning to Jinxiyuan, Brother Lan mentioned this matter to Lu Qing.
The child was very distressed: "Grandpa Huang is obviously very miserable, why don't you eat the candied fruits I gave him?"
The food that could enter the emperor's mouth had to be tested by eunuchs for poison, and it could only be eaten after it was confirmed to be safe.
Lu Qing gave a brief explanation, and Brother Lan was relieved.
"ok, I get it."
Lu Qing touched his little head and said with a smile: "For the sake of Grandpa Huang's safety."
Brother Lan smiled and suddenly tilted his head: "Did the medicine sent by the Imperial Grandmother also be tested for poison?"
Lu Qing: "...Probably."
Brother Lan rubbed his eyes and whispered: "Mom, I'm sleepy..."
Lu Qing simply carried him to the bed, and the three brothers lay together.
"Go to sleep."
The children slept soundly. Lu Qing sat in the bathtub and thought of Yan Fuguang.
I don’t know if things went smoothly for him there, if he encountered any dangers on the way, and when he will be back...
Yan Fuguang, who was far away in Xili City, had just killed an official with his own hands.
The gleaming blade of the knife slashed across the neck, and the steaming blood splashed onto the tiger's mouth. Yan Fuguang clenched the handle of the knife and said coldly: "Catch all the officials of Xili City, big and small, for interrogation. We must be quick!"
After several days of tracking, they indeed discovered something unusual about Xili City.
Several of these officials colluded with the barbarians, and Yan Fuguang found many letters between them.
Yan Qinghuai said indignantly: "Did the imperial court raise them to collude with the barbarians and treason?!"
Yan Fuguang interrupted him: "The imperial court has not paid salaries to officials here in Xili City for five years."
At the same time, no one was sent to inspect the local area, so the officials of Xili City colluded with the barbarians and did not do much to hide it. Xili is located in the southwest of Great Yan, with the sky high and the emperor far away. It is not very controlled by the central government, not to mention that the imperial court almost abandoned them.
Yan Qinghuai's more scolding and complaining words were stuck in his throat, and he repeated back and forth: "How could this happen..."
Regarding this question, Yan Fuguang didn't know how to answer him.
The most important thing at the moment is to pry open the mouths of these officials to understand the progress of the barbarian interactions around them. Have you heard about the attack on Dayan...
