Before he finished speaking, Eleven already frowned, pushed open the door to the study room and walked in.
Unexpectedly, it was pitch dark inside.
Reviewing memorials, but not holding the lamp
"Fourth brother..." Eleven tried calling softly.
No response was received for a long time.
He knows, he is.
Such a scene met his suspicions exactly.
He patrolled the rivers in Jingnan for a month, and this man was the one he was most worried about.
News from the palace said that the emperor was busy with everything, and his daily affairs lasted until the early hours of the morning.
He knew that state affairs were indeed busy, but there were not so many memorials that could be reviewed day and night.
Reading the memorial was just a cover for this man to lick his wounds alone in the dead of night.
He would never forget that day when this man was carried back to the inn by Ye Feng and Li Quansheng. He was covered in blood and injured and had fallen into a coma.
After seven days of coma, this man finally regained his life. The first thing he said when he woke up was: "Where is she?"
With his appearance, no one dared to tell the truth.
At the end, he pointed his sword directly at Li Quansheng's eyebrows with red eyes, "Tell me! Where is she?"
Li Quansheng just knelt on the ground, with tears streaming down his face and unable to say a word.
It wasn't just Li Quansheng who knelt down, they all knelt down one by one. Ye Feng, Linglong, Meng Ruxue, and him, including the imperial doctor who had urgently come from the palace, all lay on the ground.
Does anyone know what this kneeling means
It was not to plead for Li Quansheng, but to completely shatter this man's hope.
The sword finally fell down feebly.
The sweet crisp sound of metal hitting the jade ground shocked everyone present.
Everyone thought this man was going crazy.
But no!
He was very calm, unusually calm, but everything in his eyes seemed to be frozen at that moment, not moving at all.
He leaned against the bed and sat there for three days and three nights without making a sound, eating or drinking, without blinking an eyelid.
They saw it in their eyes and felt pain in their hearts, but no one dared to say a word, so they had to stay with him and the young emperor, sleepless.
After that, this man seemed to have become the calm and wise emperor again, cooperating with treatment, eating normally, and concentrating on political affairs.
Only he, a brother, knew how much pain this man suffered.
My heart is bleeding and rotting, but my face is calm. The most painful thing is this, right
So as soon as he came back from Jingnan, he came to the palace.
With the bright moonlight outside the window, he lit a palace lantern, and it took him a long time to find the man sitting behind the desk with his face hidden.
"Fourth brother..." He walked over and placed the palace lantern in his hand on the desk in front of Leng Qisu. His eyes fell on a strange-shaped object on the desk that looked like a purse or a sandbag.
After a while, Leng Qisu slowly removed his hands from his face, looked up at him, his black eyes were bloodshot, and he said calmly, "Are you back?"
"Yeah!" Eleven nodded. Looking at the man's increasingly thin appearance, he felt that his throat was choked and he couldn't make a sound, "Fourth brother..."
"Brother Eleven, I don't think she's dead." He suddenly said something.
Shi Yiyi was startled, and when he saw him looking at him seriously, his heart twitched in pain. He pursed his lips, not knowing what to say.
He knew that this man had never given up looking for that woman, never.
However, under the cliff, apart from the jagged rocks, there was a rushing river. Even if the body was not found, the chance of survival was slim. And this man only saved his life because he hung a buffer on a branch.
He knew this, and he also knew that this man knew it even better. He was just holding on to the last glimmer of hope.
The pain and confusion in his eyes fell into Leng Qisu's eyes. Leng Qisu slowly looked away. After a while, he smiled lightly and pointed to a soft stool in front of the desk, "Sit down! Let's talk. The situation of the Jingnan River!"
"Fourth brother..."
He didn't come here to discuss political matters with him.
When he saw Leng Qisu, he stared at him without saying a word, as if waiting for him to continue, so he had no choice but to continue:
"The condition of the Jingnan river is very good. Occasionally there are some areas where the banks have burst. On the 11th, they have been handed over to the Ministry of Industry to deal with them. Fourth brother, don't worry about these."
"Yeah! That's good!" Leng Qisu nodded and suddenly thought of something, "By the way, Ruxue is about to give birth, right?"
Eleven didn't expect that his topic would change so quickly. After being slightly startled, he answered.
“There’s still one month left!”
"Well, during this period, I will arrange less official work for you, so you can stay in the house to accompany her more!"
In the end, without waiting for Shiyi to say thanks, he stood up quickly and brushed his robe, "Okay, it's late at night, go back! You just came back, Ruxue must still be waiting."
After saying that, he reached out and picked up the sandbag on the table, put it into his sleeve, turned around and walked out.
Looking at his stiff back, Eleven was stunned for a moment, and then came back to his senses after a while, "Will Fourth Brother also return to Longyin Palace?"
After walking a few more steps, Leng Qisu slowly stopped, turned around and looked at him, "Are you okay?"
Eleven couldn't believe it, but finally felt happy, shook his head, and chased after him, "Eleven hopes that Fourth Brother can rest early every day."
Leng Qisu's eyes narrowed and he soon calmed down. A beautiful smile slowly bloomed on his thin lips. He turned around and continued walking forward, but in the end he said nothing.
Li Quansheng, who was guarding the door, was overjoyed when he saw the two finally coming out, and quickly followed them.
In the palace under the dim night, three figures walked away silently.
It was already winter, and the evening breeze was very cold. It made people shiver when it blew on their bodies. Eleven looked at the back of the man walking in front and knew that he had something on his mind, so he just followed quietly.
