Over the years, Jiang Li's identity has always been a little eunuch, and he himself said that his third leg was gone, so Xiao Qiheng never doubted it.
However, at this moment, he saw with his own eyes that Jiang Li's so-called third leg was not only not broken, but also developed well. It looked very healthy in terms of color and size! !
The fact that he was too shocked made the expression on his face blank for several seconds, and the hand holding Jiang Li's pants unconsciously loosened.
The system reminded Jiang Li in a low voice: "Master Host, the car has overturned again, pay attention to safety."
Jiang Li: "..."
In fact, there is no need for the system to make a sound reminder. Judging from Xiao Qiheng's reaction, Jiang Li also knows that his identity as a fake eunuch has been exposed. After all, his pants were taken off by the other party himself. The other party has a leg problem, not an eye problem. , It's strange if you can't see it.
Seeing him staring at his legs in disbelief, forgetting to even get up from the ground, Jiang Li secretly cursed "Damn", and while lifting his pants, he said, "His Royal Highness, please listen to my explanation!"
His words brought Xiao Qiheng back to his senses, a kind of anger that he had been deceived by someone he trusted wholeheartedly rose from the bottom of his heart, making him feel stuck in his heart, he ignored Jiang Li's words at all, and put his hands on the ground want to get up.
Seeing this, Jiang Li bent down to help him, but the trousers he was carrying fell off again, and the third leg was exposed to the air again, facing Xiao Qiheng, the scene was a bit subtle.
Xiao Qiheng: "..."
Jiang Li: "..."
This kind of hooliganism made Xiao Qiheng's whole face turn black, he waved his hand away, and angrily reprimanded: "Put on your pants! Stay away from Gu!!"
Jiang Li is really innocent, he has no sense of being a hooligan at all, but the trousers of this dynasty are very embarrassing, the waist is fixed with a thin belt, just now Xiao Qiheng moved too much and tore his belt away, he It was too late to fasten it, which led to the second exposure.
Jiang Li wanted to explain, but seeing Xiao Qiheng's expression was really exciting, he obediently put on his pants first, and Xiao Qiheng got up from the ground by himself and sat back on the wheelchair.
The air was terrifyingly quiet, but what was even more terrifying was Xiao Qiheng's expression.
At this time, Zhao Qing's voice came from outside the door: "Your Highness, Your Highness the Third Prince and the Fifth Prince are here to pay their respects."
Although Xiao Qiheng was released from the Qinghe Palace in just one day, news spread quickly in this palace, and everyone must know that he was released now, so it was normal for the third and fifth princes to come to visit, so Xiao Qiheng did not Not surprised.
It's just that his shirt was soaked with sweat at this time, so it was not appropriate to meet the guests immediately, so he raised his head and glanced at Jiang Li.
Jiang Li has served him by his side for many years, and he knew what he meant with just one look. He nodded and opened the door to go out, and said to Zhao Qing who was waiting outside: "Brother Zhao, Your Highness needs to freshen up now, please tell the two princes , a while later."
"Okay." Zhao Qing nodded, turned around and walked to the waiting room where the two princes were waiting.
Jiang Li returned to the hall, pushed Xiao Qiheng to take a bath in the bathroom, and after a simple grooming, pushed him to the living room to meet the guests.
After drinking tea in the waiting room, the two princes saw him coming in, immediately put down the tea in their hands, got up and bowed their hands: "I have met the prince and brother."
"Third brother, fifth brother don't need to be too polite." Xiao Qiheng raised his hand and said, "Zhou Yuan first treated Gu with acupuncture and moxibustion, which caused a lot of sweat on his body. It took a while to wash up and I kept you waiting for a long time."
"Brother Prince, don't say that, we are the ones who took the liberty to visit." The third prince said quickly, "It's fine if you don't blame me."
"Yes." The fifth prince also nodded, and looked at Xiao Qiheng with concern, "How is the health of the emperor? With the head of the court, there must be no problem, right?"
Compared with caring, his words are more tentative.
In fact, before they came, they had already stopped Yuanshou Zhou to inquire about the condition of Xiao Qiheng's legs, but the other party kept silent and only said that they would go to the Qianhe Palace to report to the emperor, and they resigned without delay.
Both the third prince and the fifth prince were descended from unfavored concubines. Before Xiao Qiheng was imprisoned, they always regarded themselves as princelings. However, after Xiao Qiheng's accident, both of them made fools of themselves in order to protect themselves.
Although Xiao Qiheng has been imprisoned for many years, the emperor has never abolished his title of prince. This time he was released, and he personally ordered the imperial hospital to treat him. This made the third and fifth princes have to guess that he was very serious. There is a possibility of regaining favor, after all, as long as the emperor says a word, he can be dressed in a brocade robe again.
So after discussing it for a while, the two came to see him.
Regarding the condition of his legs, Xiao Qiheng naturally didn't talk to them much, and brought the topic over in a few words.
Seeing that he didn't want to say more, the fifth prince tactfully changed the subject. After exchanging pleasantries, he finally couldn't help asking: "Brother Huang, did Xiao Shiqi come here today?"
The seventeenth prince, Xiao Qiwen, Jiang Li remembered was the young man who was with Xiao Qiyun yesterday.
"No." Xiao Qiheng took a sip of tea, pretending not to understand him, "Why did you suddenly ask him?"
"I just feel chilled for Brother Huang." The Fifth Prince looked resentful, "Brother, you took so much care of Xiao Shiqi back then, which we all couldn't envy. One year, assassins entered the palace. He was slashed by an assassin even after saving him, but he was fine, as soon as something happened to you, you immediately turned to Brother Six. Now that you finally moved back to the East Palace, he didn't even come to visit, you are an ungrateful villain!"
What he said was righteous and awe-inspiring, and he never thought that he was also one of the ungrateful villains.
Xiao Qiheng tapped the armrest lightly with his fingers, and looked at him with great interest, until his face was a little bit unstoppable, and then he said: "Fifth brother is serious, everyone has his own ambition, so don't force it."
The third prince watched from the sidelines that he was not interested in Xiao Shiqi's betrayal, and he stepped in unwillingly to help: "Brother Emperor, you can't say that. We can all see how you treated Xiao Shiqi back then. He behaved like this." people…”
"I don't know what kind of person Little Seventeen is in the eyes of Brother Sanhuang?"
A voice interrupted the fifth prince's words, and the people present looked around after hearing the reputation, and saw the seventeenth prince they were talking about stepping into the hall, followed by two servants, holding four or five brocade boxes.
The third prince and the fifth prince were a little embarrassed when they said bad things about someone behind their backs and were smashed by the parties on the spot. The corner of the third prince's mouth twitched, coughed lightly, and answered the wrong question: "Little Seventeen, why are you here?"
"What?" Xiao Qiwen looked at him and smiled, "You are only allowed to visit the prince and brother, but I am not allowed?"
After finishing speaking, he turned around and cupped his hands and bowed slightly to Xiao Qiheng: "My brother has seen the prince and the emperor, and he came uninvited. I hope the emperor is no wonder."
Xiao Qiheng nodded: "There is no need to be too polite."
Xiao Qiwen asked the servant to put all the brocade boxes he brought on the table, opened them one by one, and then said to Xiao Qiheng: "This is the wish of the sixth brother and the minister, I hope the emperor will accept it."
The boxes are full of precious medicinal materials such as ganoderma lucidum and ginseng. The appearance is very good. At first glance, it looks like a top-notch treasure, worth thousands of gold.
The third prince and the fifth prince are not as generous as he is, so the things they brought are naturally incomparable. They are all gift boxes, and they are placed on the table for comparison. He scolded Xiao Qiyun again.
Xiao Qiheng just glanced at these precious medicinal materials indifferently, nodded, and accepted them.
Xiao Qiwen didn't stay for too long, he just greeted a few times symbolically and then left.
Before leaving, he looked at Xiao Qiheng's legs, with an unclear smile on the corner of his lips, and said slowly: "Brother Liu Huang couldn't come here because of something, so I asked my younger brother to bring something to Brother Huang, he said that it was hard for you Come out for a while, but you must cherish it, don’t move back to the East Palace before you get used to it. Also, your legs must be well, well, cared for, and taken care of.”
After speaking, he took the people away with a rather domineering attitude.
The fifth prince waited for his figure to leave the outer door, stepped forward and said to Xiao Qiheng: "Brother Huang, look at his virtue of pretending to be a tiger, isn't it..."
"Enough." Xiao Qiheng interrupted him, "I'm lonely."
The order to evict guests has been issued, even if the third and fifth princes feel unwilling, they can only leave first.
After the two of them, other people came to visit one after another. There were princes, princesses, and ministers.
After receiving them in turn, one day passed.
When Jiang Li was preparing dinner for Xiao Qiheng, Zheng Yu came over. His timing was very accurate. He was obviously here for dinner, so Jiang Li prepared more.
After the meal, Zheng Yu and Xiao Qiheng played chess in the side hall. After hearing what Xiao Qiheng said about today's events, they sneered: "Everyone is a bastard who plays with the wind. When you had an accident, you ran faster than a rabbit. , now I have the face to arrange other people."
Xiao Qiheng held the chess piece with two fingers, put it firmly on the chessboard, then picked up a large piece of black pieces from Zheng Yu, and said while picking up: "It's just human nature, don't worry about it."
Zheng Yu has seen a lot of people like this, and he didn't want to waste his saliva on them, so he changed the subject: "By the way, you finally lifted the ban, why don't you go out of the palace tomorrow to have fun? How boring is it in this palace every day?" Ah, just go out and relax."
Xiao Qiheng was not interested in getting out of the palace, but Jiang Li's heart moved, and the movement of pouring tea in his hand paused.
It has been four years since he came here, and he hasn't been out of the palace to see the scenery of this dynasty. He doesn't know how it is different from the ancient times in his impression.
Xiao Qiheng noticed his movements, and he thought about it, but said indifferently: "I'm not interested."
Zheng Yu saw that his expression did not fluctuate, and considering his inconvenience, he did not persuade him anymore and concentrated on playing chess with him.
After Zheng Yu left, Jiang Li pushed Xiao Qiheng to take a bath. He was thinking about going out of the palace to have a look. ?"
Xiao Qiheng asked knowingly, "What's the matter?"
"It's about going out of the palace to relax." Jiang Li persuaded, "I think what he said is very reasonable. Going out for a walk is very beneficial to physical and mental health."
"Really." Xiao Qiheng replied in a neutral manner, without saying anything or saying no.
Jiang Li continued to work hard: "Yes, I heard that there are beautiful mountains, rivers, and delicious food outside. There are many new things that can make people feel brighter. Do you really want to go..."
"You want to go?" Xiao Qiheng interrupted him.
"I'm really thinking about His Highness!" Jiang Li said righteously on the surface.
Xiao Qiheng turned his head and glanced at him: "Tell the truth."
Jiang Li saw the expression of "If you keep talking nonsense, don't even think about going" on his face, he changed his words without a stand: "Yes, I want to go, Your Highness, please take me to see this bustling Kyoto!"
"I remember someone once said that I don't want to go anywhere." Xiao Qiheng looked at him and said quietly, and said twice.
"Of course, that person still thinks so now, he just wants to go out and have a look." Jiang Li raised his hand and swore, "Your Highness, trust me, everything I tell you is true, and I will never lie to you."
"It's all true?" Xiao Qiheng narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Pearls are not so real, pure natural without additives..."
Halfway through Jiang Li's words, Xiao Qiheng shot out with lightning speed, grabbed his shoulders and pulled him into the pool, pressed him against the edge of the pool, reached between his legs with one hand, and pinched him. Something in the shape of a ball asked in a dangerous tone: "Bodily and mentally strong?"
Jiang Li was caught off guard by him choking his life, and his whole body froze, worried that he would accidentally crush the sky-high priced egg that he had finally grown back, so he quickly said, "Your Highness, be merciful! You can't pinch this!"
"Is it true what you said to Gu?" Not only did Xiao Qiheng not let go, but he got closer to him, "You are so brave, you dare to lie to Gu, tell me, what else are you afraid of! "
Speaking of the latter, his tone was already biting his teeth, obviously angry at Jiang Li for deceiving himself for so many years.
Jiang Li knew he was in the wrong, and he caught the key parts, so he could only beg for mercy: "His Royal Highness, listen to me, I really didn't mean to lie to you. I can learn from all the sincerity I have shown you for so many years. It's just this You may not believe it when it is told, so you have kept it secret."
Xiao Qiheng didn't want to listen to his nonsense: "Get to the point!"
Jiang Li sighed, as if he had no other choice but to be frank and lenient, looked at him and said with a heavy tone: "Your Highness, do you know? Human obsession is actually a terrible thing. It can do many things that cannot be done. It is something to explain with common sense. I was young when I entered the palace, and the master who cleaned me up was not very good, and did not help me clean it completely. As I grew older, under my strong obsession, it Slowly grow back."
Xiao Qiheng's face darkened: "... nonsense, you can use your obsession to try again?!"
"No way." Jiang Li looked embarrassed, "If it grows, there will be three."
Xiao Qiheng: "..."
You are so capable, what is it to grow three? !
