Although You Shu himself was not very nervous, it was just a matter of taking medicine, but Xiao Weixin was so nervous that he could not sit still, and he was completely different from his usual calmness. You Shu could not help laughing at his behavior, "What are you doing? I'm not really going to die."
"Miss Huachun has already said it, but there may be some unpredictable consequences, and we are not sure whether there will be any."
"Besides, Su Tu has solemnly promised you that he will never harm me."
Xiao Weixin's face did not look good, "What if..."
"Nothing could happen." You Shu patted his hand gently, "This is not like you."
Xiao Weixin's brows were filled with worry. After hearing what You Shu said, he was so angry that he didn't want to pay attention to him. "Who else in this world can make me so restless?"
Hua Chun rolled her eyes silently. She really didn't want to complain about her own prince's character. She almost didn't recognize that the tender-hearted man in front of her was her original cold and arrogant prince. Could he have been secretly replaced by someone
It's just taking medicine, but you make it seem like a life-and-death separation, how disgusting.
But Hua Chun didn't dare to say it. Everyone knew that the prince cared a lot about his reputation. If she let him know, she would forget about her salary this year.
Although Xiao Weixin imagined a lot of incredible things in his mind, in fact, the biggest side effect after You Shu took the medicine was that he felt very sleepy and went to bed for three days without any adverse reactions and no pain or itching.
He had a very deep sleep, probably the best sleep he had had in the past decade.
Xiao Weixin secretly came to the bedside several times without Hua Chun's knowledge, and kept reaching out to feel his breathing, for fear that he would lose his voice if he was not careful. He was too nervous to eat or sleep, even though Hua Chun said that his pulse had indeed shown signs of improvement, which meant that the effect of the medicine had been flowing around his body during You Shu's sleep, healing the damaged meridians as quietly as a stream. As long as the surroundings were quiet enough for him to rest well, it would be fine.
By the evening of the third day, You Shu slowly opened his eyes.
He vaguely felt that he had slept for a very long time. After waking up, he felt that a stream of energy seemed to have condensed in his dantian area in the lower abdomen. He was no longer as empty and weak as before. Although his limbs were still a little heavy, he seemed to be able to feel his legs.
"woke up?"
When Xiao Weixin heard the noise, he stood up from the table and approached him, anxiously asking him, "Are you feeling unwell?"
"No." You Shu shook his head, "I'm fine."
Xiao Weixin hurriedly called Huachun in. Huachun carefully examined You Shu's limbs and took her pulse. Only when she relaxed her brows and nodded slightly did Xiao Weixin breathe a sigh of relief, and the heavy stone in his heart fell.
It was worth it that he had been guarding here without sleep for the past few days. It seemed that Su Tu was not lying.
Hua Chun was secretly surprised at how effective this medicine was. It could even heal meridians that were so severely damaged. There really was such a magical medicine in the world. It was a pity that she had no sample and could not study it carefully.
You Shu was also thinking in his mind, this thing has no scientific basis at all, even in modern times, no one has heard of any hospital being able to come up with such a miracle drug that can cure disability by sleeping for a few days, if you tell others about it, people will think you are a liar.
But in this world, people have Qinggong and internal strength, so the existence of such things should not be surprising.
Although he cannot walk on his own now, Hua Chun said that as long as he takes proper care of himself and practices more, he will be able to stand up in ten days or half a month at most. This is undoubtedly the best news for him.
Xiao Weixin was in a good mood as he finally had time to deal with Xia Maoan.
The situation in the court changed suddenly. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the emperor was going to break with the prime minister. Now the court was divided into three factions. One faction was Prime Minister Xia's followers, one faction was the royalist faction headed by Prince Ling, and the other faction was naturally the so-called neutral party.
The situation in the court that had been monopolized by Prime Minister Xia's lineage for more than a decade had undergone tremendous changes in just a few months. This made everyone dare not underestimate Prince Ling. No one could have imagined that the weakest and most inconspicuous person in the past could suddenly burst out with such great courage and almost restrain Prime Minister Xia in the court, making him unable to move.
Xia Maoan had never expected that he would be suppressed by Xiao Weixin, the waste whom he used to despise the most. Now it was too late for him to get rid of him. The assassination attempt failed a few days ago, and Xiao Weixin made a good report about him in the court. Although this did not have any direct impact on him, his reputation in the court dropped a lot. Many neutral old ministers complained about him, which made him very annoyed.
Xiao Weishen now completely trusts Xiao Weixin and has handed almost all the power in his hands to him, hoping that he can help him defeat Prime Minister Xia. Almost most of the old ministers in the court praised Prince Ling and stood up to speak for him. They had long been fed up with Xia Maoan's usual arrogance, but no one could control him. Now that Prince Ling has stood up, how could they not obey him
Xia Maoan lost the support of his people and his only son, and was filled with resentment.
He looked coldly at the group of opportunists above him, his narrow eyes filled with viciousness. One day, he would make Xiao Weishen regret going against him.
After the court session, Xiao Weixin and Shen Qingyu walked out together. Shen Qingyu, who was now the Minister of Revenue, looked back at Xia Maoan, who was surrounded by people and remained silent, and said, "We have been taking big steps recently. It seems that the Prime Minister is really worried."
"He has taken over the Zhenbei Camp and the Ministry of Works in succession, and now the palace patrol has also been occupied by our people. How can he not be anxious?" Xiao Weixin said slowly, "The greatest military power in his hands is the border defense army and the Xiguan army that he took from General Yang. But now the border defense army has been gradually taken back by Yang Qixian, and his bargaining chips are decreasing day by day. Xirong has been slow to reply to the letter, and I am afraid that he is desperate now."
"Otherwise, they wouldn't have risked assassination in broad daylight."
Shen Qingyu couldn't help but chuckle, "Thanks to the cooperation of the emperor, otherwise the border guards wouldn't have been withdrawn so easily. Xia Maoan offended the Yang family so badly in the first place, and now he can only regret it himself."
He walked and talked, and suddenly looked up. The sky was covered with dark clouds without a single ray of sunshine. "I hope all this can be over before the end of the year, so that next spring, everything will be rebuilt and the people can live a good life."
Xiao Weixin stopped with him, and after a long while, he said softly, "Yes."
He did not forget that he had vowed to make Xia Maoan disgraced and cursed for eternity to avenge Xiao Shu. If it were not for him, Xiao Shu would not have to suffer so much.
In the next few days, Xiao Weixin was even busier. Na Sutu had already set out to return to Xirong again, but this time he brought with him the 8,000 elite soldiers he had borrowed, as well as some masters from the Shadow Guard Camp. He planned to cooperate with Xiao Weixin to resolve the matter as soon as possible before the New Year and completely cut off Xia Maoan's retreat.
Everything was planned in secret, just to lure Xia Maoan into a trap.
You Shu was not idle either. He could not help with the main business, so he spent the whole day in the mansion recovering his physical strength. He also wanted to get better soon so that he could fight alongside his prince again. He did not want to be a protected person at home.
There were not many people in the house, only Huachun and Xiaoyue'er were accompanying Kangjian. Xiaoyue'er looked worried all the time, and her face was less lively than usual. You Shu felt distressed when he saw this, and wanted to comfort her but didn't know where to start. After Xiao Weiming ran out of the study room in a huff that day, he didn't know what stimulated him, but he started training hard when he returned to the Zhenbei Camp, and even volunteered to go to the border.
Xiao Weixin agreed to his request without thinking too much. Yang Qixian did need manpower on the border defense, and the Zhenbei Camp was handed over to Liu Tiezhu and Yang Nanruo. With them in charge, Xiao Weixin had nothing to worry about.
In his words, it was to give Xiao Weiming a chance to gain experience so that he could quickly establish military merit. There was no faster shortcut than this.
With military merit and real power in his hands, there would really be a chance for him and Xiaoyue'er.
You Shu was unable to tell Xiao Yue'er about this in detail, fearing that she would worry if she knew. After all, border defense is dangerous. The Khan of Western Rong is not dead yet, and fighting may break out again on the border at any time. He did not dare to tell her before the outcome was settled.
Xiaoyue'er is also very sensible. She never mentions Xiao Weiming's matter and pretends that it never happened, which makes people feel sad.
It's November in the blink of an eye.
You Shu woke up early in the morning. He lay in bed and listened to the subtle noises outside the window. He whispered, "It's snowing."
"It seems so." Xiao Weixin had a day off today and didn't have to go to court. He came forward and hugged him, wanting to continue sleeping for a while: "Anyway, there is nothing to do today, why not sleep with me for a while."
You Shu's biological clock was very accurate. He woke up at this time every day, so it was impossible for him to go back to sleep. However, he was willing to lie with the prince for a while. He turned his head and could clearly see the dark circles under Xiao Weixin's eyes, which were caused by him discussing important matters with his confidants in the study until late at night every day.
He seems to have lost weight too.
You Shu raised his hand and gently brushed across his brows, watching his long eyelashes fall obediently on his eyelids. He thought to himself that this man was so handsome that even in the early morning when he was half asleep and half awake, he was still pleasing to the eye. He didn't look as swollen and slovenly as others.
Xiao Weixin opened his eyes with a smile on his face, "Since you don't want to sleep, why don't we..."
It had been three months since they had had sex. You Shu was a little shy, and although he didn't nod, his expression showed that he agreed. They were all men, and everyone had physiological needs.
So Hua Chun could only squat under the corridor early in the morning, leaning on her chin and watching the snow falling all over the sky. The two maids behind her were holding hot water and didn't know what to do because the noise in the house was a little loud, and they were all unmarried girls, so their faces turned red with shame.
Hua Chun looked as if he had lost all hope in life, and estimated that this morning's troubles would last until noon.
Are you going to let people live
