"Uncle!" Ah Jiu rolled over as she fell asleep and shouted uneasily.
"The minister is here."
Fu Yan looked up at Ah Jiu, who was sleeping under the quilt again, and sorted out the memorial in his hand again.
He couldn't remember how many times this was the first time Ah Jiu called him by his name.
The few days when Ah Jiu was sick, it was probably the first time that she did such an insecure thing. When she fell asleep at night, she would call her name every few hours when she fell asleep, so she didn't need to answer.
This is what Xiaodezi told him.
Xiao Dezi also told him that in the past, it was Xiao Dezi who was watching the night, so he would call Xiao Dezi, but now that he was replaced, he would be called.
When Xiao Dezi knelt down in front of Fu Yan to report the situation that day, Fu Yan's heart softened with the first sentence.
Xiao Dezi said, "When His Majesty was sick for a few days, he felt uneasy. At night, he always shouted two words. The servant got close and heard it clearly. It turned out to be Fu Yan."
That day, Fu Yan's eyes were the same as that of the night. He sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Ah Jiu, his eyes were full of tenderness that he had never seen before.
The late emperor once taught him that he should not be emotional for the emperor. Even if he was not an emperor, the late emperor had always told him these things. Officialdom was like a battlefield.
He used to think that he could get away with it all, but he realized later that he was wrong, and now there is only one belief that he can do, to be loyal to her, love her and protect her.
But he didn't expect that the words she said today would let him know that in her heart he was thinking of him that way. Although Fu Yan himself knew this, he was still a little sad and distressed when he heard her say it.
Fu Yan sat on the edge of the bed, looked at A Jiu who was sleeping soundly, and reached out to hold her wrapped fingers. As soon as she touched her hand, A Jiu bounced back in surprise. After a while, Fu Yan slowly picked her up. He held her hand softly, for fear of hurting her.
Ten fingers are connected to the heart, hurting one finger will hurt, let alone ten fingers
Even though she was the Empress, she was still a woman after all, and she was only eighteen years old.
Fu Yan was stunned, she was eighteen years old, and now she is eighteen years old. He watched her grow up, and she already had her own ideas. She also had to know how to protect this emperor's hegemony.
Fu Yan bent down, put her lips on A Jiu's forehead, then slowly left, put her hand in the quilt, and turned away from the bed.
Fu Yan didn't leave, but went to the side to sort out the memorials. It was quiet at night and he couldn't leave. He had to guard Ajiu and Ajiu's country all night.
When Ah Jiu woke up the next day, she didn't see Fu Yan, but she waited for someone she wanted to wait for.
When Lao Lao came in, Xiao Dezi was guarding the door.
Li Lao was a servant of the older generation, and his seniority was higher than that of A Jiu, but his status was a little lower, but A Jiu saluted him.
Ah Jiu leaned on the soft pillow, holding the decoction put down by Xiao Dezi in both hands, waiting for Lao Lao to speak.
Judging from the blood she shed yesterday, she can barely take care of herself, but there is a slight pain in her fingertips, which she can bear.
"Your Majesty has been sick these few days, but the old minister did not come to see His Majesty. It is the old minister's fault."
Ah Jiu's bowl just touched the shell's teeth, and she paused again. Among those who persuaded Fu Yan to do something important, there was no Elder Li.
"Where is Mr. Li, Fengge doesn't know how many affairs to deal with, Mr. Li can't be too busy, how can Ah Jiu expect Mr. Li to come and visit."
After all, she swallowed the soup medicine in the bowl.
"The old minister knows that this time His Majesty's illness is not accidental, so the old minister has never disturbed His Majesty."
Ah Jiu put down the bowl, raised her eyebrows and looked at Old Li.
Could it be that Fu Yan didn't know about her temptation, and Old Li had already guessed it
Although Old Man Li is stubborn, he can handle everything clearly. He probably knows a little about Ah Jiu's thoughts, otherwise he wouldn't be able to rush over to talk to Ah Jiu as soon as he wakes up.
"The old minister knows what His Majesty is testing."
Ah Jiu did not speak.
After a pause, Li Yunping continued, "King Huai Jin alone holds the power in the court and holds a high position; Li Yu, the son of a dog, holds the power to command the three armies and guards the border territories; even if these two are close friends with His Majesty, they all have power over the Lord, even if Li Yu came back and handed over his military power. Even if King Huai Jin never had sex, His Majesty was still worried.
What's more, the epidemic that has spread in the imperial capital recently is the severe cold disease on the northern border of Saibei, and there is a letter from King Huai Jin, so His Majesty can't help but suspect that it was the dog, and that Li Yu is showing signs of leaving Zheng, so His Majesty's illness this time is not only In order to test Fu Yan's loyalty, it is also to test Li Yu. "
The late emperor had told her when A Jiu was a child that Li Lao was an important minister of the previous dynasty. After A Jiu ascended the throne, he was promoted to the elder of Fengge. He had half of the power in the court and was the only one who could directly impeach the emperor in the court. people.
After Ah Jiu came to power, Old Man Li stood directly on the side of Uncle Huang.
Ah Jiu also knew that the reason why the late emperor was able to grant such great power to Old Li was not only because of Old Li's ability, but also because of his stubbornness and wisdom.
The things A Jiu wanted to test were the things she didn't want to accept in her heart, but Li Yu saved her, and Fu Yan didn't give up on her. What she wanted has been confirmed, but now Li Lao sees it clearly. Chu.
Ah Jiu turned her head to look at Old Li, "Although I am not shrewd, I am not stupid at all. I am in the throne, and some things still need to be verified, but only if I can see clearly, it seems that I am a bit clumsy."
Elder Li wiped his beard, thought for a long time, and knelt on the ground, frightening Ah Jiu who was lying on the bed. She hurriedly lifted the quilt and stepped forward to support Elder Li's arm.
Old Li pushed it away slightly and said solemnly, "In the past, it was the old minister who misunderstood His Majesty. Today, the old minister would like to hand over the half-court affairs to His Majesty, but I hope His Majesty can treat Li Yu kindly one day."
After all, they are father and son. Even though he has been away for six years, Old Li is stubborn on the surface, but he still treats Li Yu well. Does Old Li like this, does Li Yu know
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Ah Jiu sighed, "Lao Li said this, but did he admit that the epidemic in the imperial capital was brought by Li Yu?"
This is the thing that Ah Jiu is most unwilling to believe and most unwilling to accept.
Old Li was unexpectedly calm, without a trace of excuse, "Your Majesty will know sooner or later, the old ministers belong to each other with power, and I hope that on the day of the incident, His Majesty can remember the relationship between the minister and Li Yu and His Majesty, and treat Li Yu kindly! "
Ah Jiu didn't expect Elder Li to admit it like this. Ah Jiu herself didn't dare to doubt Li Yu. What she suspected at first was the female lieutenant, A Xing, but now she is the least willing to accept it. That's what Elder Li said. Heavy, Ah Jiu inevitably suspects that Li Yu has done other things.
Ah Jiu lowered her eyes and looked at Old Man Li who lowered her head. She couldn't help but ask, "Why did Li Yu leave the imperial capital six years ago?"
Old Man Li paused for a long time, Ajiu asked again, and Old Man Li spoke slowly.
"That's Li Yu's promise with Fu Yan, King of Huai Jin. The minister couldn't stop it, so he had a big quarrel with Li Yu, and he doesn't want to recognize him even now."
Fu Yan and Li Yu's promise
Ah Jiu smiled bitterly, in the end, there are still many things hidden from her!
Ah Jiu helped Li Lao to get up, "Li Lao, if you are willing to assist me, I will not pursue it."
"I would like to."
When Mr. Li left, Ah Jiu still felt that this was not the ending she wanted. She underestimated her position in Fu Yan's heart, and she also overestimated Li Yu's loyalty. Everything was not the ending she expected.
So does her temptation make sense
A Jiu sat on the bed in a daze, thinking about Li Yu and Fu Yan, even when Xiao Dezi came in, A Jiu didn't react.
Xiao Dezi called Ajiu for a long time before pulling Ajiu's mind back.
"Your Majesty, Prince Dun's youngest son is coming in to see you!"
Before Ah Jiu agreed, she saw that Chen Heng had strode in, and then sat down opposite Ah Jiu.
Ah Jiu frowned, Chen Heng should have met with Elder Li when he came in, and it is estimated that he did not salute respectfully. Du Ying and the children taught by her uncle were really cold and arrogant.
"Cousin Huang, I heard everything you said clearly."
Ah Jiu nodded, "It's not the first time you've eavesdropped!"
This was referring to the details that Chen Heng had been listening to for a long time outside the palace gate during the election of the new minister. As soon as Ah Jiu opened the door, Chen Heng ran away like a rabbit.
Ah Jiu thought that Chen Heng at that time might not have been so cold and outspoken. Now, in front of her and even in front of Fu Yan, he bluntly scolded Fu Yan as a traitor.
If such a person were right, the shameless Fu Yan might not be able to fight him!
This made Ah Jiu think that when Chen Heng was ill, when she came back, she saw that Fu Yan also looked at Chen Heng, so she dragged Chen Heng's mother outside to eavesdrop for a long time.
Ah Jiu thought that Chen Heng at that time should have been lying on the bed quite coldly, looking at Fu Yan who was chuckling, and scolding him as a big traitor.
"I told you not to follow me when I saw you at the time, but I didn't listen to the persuasion. Now that I'm sick, isn't it blaming me?"
Ajiu thought that when Chen Heng followed Fu Yan to Mo's house, Fu Yan should have known. Fu Yan also persuaded Chen Heng, but Chen Heng just didn't listen to the persuasion.
"Otherwise, with Ah Jiu's brain, how could he know that there is still a potential epidemic in the imperial capital!"
Ah Jiu frowned when she heard it, and scolded her for being stupid. Now that she thought about it, it was thanks to this epidemic that Chen Heng discovered and showed in time that her plan was successful, and it was also exposed.
"If Prince Dun had become the emperor at the time, you would be the most intelligent prince now!"
"You big traitor! Don't try to destroy the relationship between our Chen family!"
Fu Yan chuckled, and A Jiu chuckled even more. After all, it was the Chen family. Although A Jiu’s mother and father were cousins, they were both from the Chen family. Chen Heng was still on her side, and he was unyielding The attitude of fighting against the traitor Fu Yan to the end.
A Jiu thought that the ten-year-old child in front of her was unusual, and she stretched out her fat, round fingers and pinched Chen Heng's cheek, "You are only ten years old, how can you be so shrewd!"
Chen Heng opened Ah Jiu's hand, and Ah Jiu pulled it back in pain.
"Do you think the Chen family is as stupid as you?"
Ah Jiu rolled her eyes, "That's how you treat cousin Huang?"
Chen Heng did not reply to her, but stared at her hand for a long time.
A Jiuyang held the hand in his hand, "Fortunately, you were infected with a milder epidemic at the beginning. Otherwise, you are young and ignorant, but you will suffer a lot."
Chen Heng was expressionless, "Isn't this unhappy by committing sins?"
Ah Jiu was speechless, which was why she was reluctant to chat with Chen Heng.
