As soon as Ah Jiu got on the carriage, she lay on the soft pillow and squinted. When she woke up, it was already dark, and she was still in the carriage.

Ah Jiu sat up straight, with her eyes wide open, she lifted the curtain and looked out. The city walls in the palace were all lit with lights, and there were two rows of palace maids in front of the carriage with lights on. After taking a closer look, Ah Jiu realized that there was actually sitting on the ground. Got a little dude.

Seeing Ah Jiu come out, Xiao Dezi immediately stood up, straightened his clothes and put on his hat, then hunched over and asked, "Your Majesty is awake?"

"Yeah." Ah Jiu lowered her voice, moved her numb legs, and got off the carriage with the help of the low ladder that Xiao Dezi had brought over.

"I fell asleep in a daze, what time is it now?"

"Report to Your Majesty, just after Xu Shi."

"Hmm! How long have I slept?" Ah Jiu looked at the sky, which was gray.

"Go back to Your Majesty, it's almost two hours!"

A Jiu was supported by Xiao Dezi, and walked limping towards the dormitory, with maids in front and behind holding palace lanterns.

"You have been guarding outside the carriage?"

Ah Jiu felt that if she slept longer, these people should still be watching.

"Serving Your Majesty is the duty of servants." Xiao Dezi complimented, "It's just that the Prince is not there, so it is inevitable that His Majesty fell asleep in the carriage."

Ah Jiu paused for a while, thinking that Uncle Huang was feeling lonely for a while, and he never came back at such an hour.

Ah Jiu sighed, "It's time to wake me up."

Xiao Dezi respectfully said, "The servant saw that His Majesty hadn't slept much in the past few days. Now that he's fast asleep, he didn't wake up."

Although Ah Jiu has learned to be careful, she treats the minions around her very well.

"Go ahead and announce that all the maids and father-in-laws who stood with me at the gate of the palace today will reward them with half a month's worth of silver, and it is their right to work hard for them."

"Oh, your Majesty's words really ruined the servants! It's time to talk about the servants when I look back at the prince."

Ah Jiu's hand holding Xiao Dezi's sleeve couldn't help but tighten, "Is Uncle Huang still back?"

"I have never seen the prince come back."

Ah Jiu sighed and shook his head secretly, that's all, don't ask, just let him go.

When Ah Jiuyi limped to the bedroom, Yan Chuqing and Wang Fuyang were already waiting.

She entered the door next to Xiao Dezi, took off her cloak and went in.

Ah Jiu just glanced at it and realized that Wang Fuyang was here to bleed, but Yan Chuqing...

Ah Jiu sat on the edge of the bed, avoiding the ceremony of Yan Chuqing and Wang Fuyang. Seeing Wang Fuyang standing by the side, she couldn't help but tremble a little bit. Seeing that there was no Fu Yan at the door of the palace where the sky was getting dark, she immediately Looking at Yan Chuqing, he stopped.

"Yan Aiqing, what do you have to say here?"

Before Ajiu asked, Yan Chuqing lifted his skirt and knelt on the ground together with Wang Fuyang, "Weichen deserves death for his crimes, but he failed to stop His Majesty from doing such a risky thing!"

Yan Chuqing said nothing, and Wang Fuyang on the side also said, "Weichen is also guilty of not being able to treat His Majesty in time, and causing His Majesty to suffer so much!"

After the two looked at each other, at the same time, they handed over their hands and pleaded guilty, "Please punish your majesty!"

Ah Jiu sat still, but her eyelids rolled over and over again, and she swayed her legs and said, "If you apologize, will I be healed immediately? Don't you have to take it slow! I didn't blame you, so it's not your fault. ."

The two of them were still kneeling and didn't move. Ajiu got out of bed and stood still, "Since I'm going to be punished, I won't be able to go to court for a few days. Yan Chuqing, you should keep an eye on the study for me, and Imperial Physician Wang, you will take good care of my illness."

"I am frightened."

Ah Jiu pouted and bent down to support the two of them.

"Both of you are my trusted servants, otherwise I wouldn't do such a risky thing. Since it is what I want to do, even if you stop me desperately, I will still do it, so I can't blame you."

After the two of them stood still, Ah Jiu withdrew her hand and sat on the edge of the bed, "At least I got it and I know something I should know."

"What Your Majesty said is that the ministers of King Huaijin of Cambodia gave up His Majesty to take power alone, but King Huaijin did not!"

"I thought that the uncle who controls the power of the phoenix would abandon me and do it, but he didn't; I thought the epidemic in this imperial capital was done by the uncle, but it was done by the most trusted minister, I am still too young !"

Ah Jiu let out a long sigh.

Yan Chuqing thought for a while and glanced at Wang Fuyang, who nodded slightly beside him, before he understood, and took two steps forward and said, "Then what is your majesty planning now?"

Ah Jiu's eyes narrowed slightly, and after thinking for a while, she looked up at Yan Chuqing again, "You are still in the courtroom, but you must know that Yin Zheng is not the emperor's uncle, but the uncle's."

Wang Fuyang and Yan Chuqing looked at each other, doubts flashed on their faces, "People from Prince Dun?"

"Yes!" Ajiu nodded, "Uncle was afraid of my limited ability, so he asked Yin Zheng to come to court. Although he was not from the uncle's faction, he did not clearly stand on my side. Uncle should have his own arrangements."

Yan Chuqing nodded slightly, "In this way, King Huaijin has no plans to seize power, and Prince Dun has also taken measures to check and balance, so the power in the DPRK is not completely lost."

This touched Ah Jiu's sore spot. Ah Jiu sighed again, patted the edge of the bed and asked, "But I don't even have the slightest power to handle government affairs, Aiqing, am I too weak?"

"Wei Chen dare not."

The same answer, these two people can really add face to Ah Jiu.

Yan Chuqing retreated after being explained a few words, but Wang Fuyang still took out a slender needle against the clean bowl.

Ah Jiu glanced at the door of the hall, but did not see Fu Yan's figure, but saw Xiao Dezi who was carrying the medicine.

Xiao Dezi came over with a whisk, looking at Ah Jiu's ugly face, and brought the soup to Ah Jiu.

"Ugh·····"

Ah Jiu sighed, took the medicine and swallowed it down, her face was as ugly as frost after drinking it.

Xiao Dezi looked at A Jiu's face and guessed A Jiu's mind, probably because the uncle didn't come to accompany him, so he was not happy, and Xiao Dezi had no choice but to take A Jiu The bowl that was put down silently retreated to the side.

Wang Fuyang drew a needle and burned a candle for a few hours, and asked before he started, "Your Majesty will not wait for King Huai Jin to come back?"

Ah Jiu Ya bit and spat, "He has his own affairs, can't I live without him?"

Although they were angry, Wang Fuyang and Xiao Dezi who were present could hear a bit of jealousy, but Ah Jiu was a monarch after all, and they were not good at acting, so Quan Dang blocked his ears and didn't hear it.

Xiao Dezi carefully removed Ah Jiu's gauze and looked at the slightly healed pinholes in Ah Jiu's fingertips, thinking that he would be tortured again later, and his face immediately became sad.

"I was the one who was pierced by the needle, not you. What are you doing so sad?"

Xiao Dezi snorted a few times, "Xiao Dezi is so sorry for Your Majesty!"

Ah Jiu drew her hands, "It's fine if you have the heart, you don't have to feel bad, you have to go out later, or when the needle is pierced, you will be next to you with tears and snot, and I should be punished by you. Buried to death!"

Xiao Dezi blushed for no reason when he said this, "Isn't the servant thinking of Your Majesty!" After speaking, he saw that Wang Fuyang had already started acupuncture, and he was pushed out by A Jiu after several struggles.

Xiao Dezi took a few steps out in anger, "The servant still can't bear to watch, the servant has gone out, if there is something wrong with Your Majesty, I will call the servant."

Ah Jiu waved his hand and let him go outside the hall.

What she has to think about is how to get through the next thing.

Ajiu looked at the needle that Wang Fuyang pulled out, and her whole body was shaking. Although she stretched out her hand, she was still shaking. Her face was even more pale and expressionless. .

Wang Fuyang held A Jiu's fingertips, held back a few times without making a move, hesitantly raised his head and asked A Jiu, "Is your majesty really not waiting for the prince to come back?"

Ah Jiu let out a sigh of relief and took a deep breath, "Could it be that the imperial physician is unsure if the emperor is not here?"

A Jiu saw Wang Fuyang's hand shaking with the silver needle, his face was a little stiff, A Jiu smiled, "Just kidding, the imperial physician should still give needles!"

Wang Fuyang took a breath, and Cheng Lao and Wen Xiangxiang had already told him that the uncle was His Majesty's person, and the people around him coveted death! No matter how bad he is, he is still a man! Thinking of this, Wang Fuyang couldn't help shaking his head.

Wang Fuyang pinched Ah Jiu's finger, the slender silver needle pierced from yesterday's wound, and gradually deepened. Wang Fuyang clearly felt that Ah Jiu's hand was pulling back, but he didn't dare to neglect or look up. Ah Jiu's face was distressed and painful, and she could only squeeze Ah Jiu's fingers tightly.

After Wang Fuyang took out the silver needle, he secretly glanced at A Jiu, who was sweating and pale on his forehead while he was bleeding.

"His Majesty·····"

Wang Fuyang couldn't bear to see Ajiu like this, so he asked, but was interrupted by Ajiu.

"continue."

Wang Fuyang had no choice but to continue.

He didn't expect that the eighteen-year-old Ah Jiu could grit his teeth in a sullen voice and finish draining the blood. He bandaged Ah Jiu's fingers and looked at the blood in his hand that had returned to a bright red color. Wang Fuyang couldn't bear to look anymore. When Ah Jiu suffered like this, he made a decision.

"Your Majesty, there is no need for bloodletting tomorrow, and medicines will be used to slowly recuperate in the future."

Ah Jiu's toxins still haven't been cleaned up, but if it goes on like this, Ah Jiu is afraid that it will hurt to death. Although Ah Jiu doesn't cry out in pain, Wang Fuyang can't bear to stab it any more, so he can only give up on bloodletting.

But Ah Jiu didn't have the strength to answer, she couldn't move her fingers, her pale face and the bitten purple lips, she stared blankly at Wang Fuyang.

Wang Fuyang bowed respectfully and withdrew, but he bumped into Fu Yan, who had been standing at the entrance of the hall for a long time, and almost knocked over the bowl in his hand in surprise.

"My lord?"

Fu Yan was expressionless, "Go back first!"

When he came, Ah Jiu had already started another hand. He didn't go in, but watched Ah Jiu endure the pain and finished the whole process without a word. He went in, but was rejected by him.

"Your Majesty will learn to endure when he grows up."

He didn't go in, and he didn't leave. He told Xiao Dezi not to tell Ajiu that he was outside the hall. Even after Xiao Dezi went in for a long time, he didn't leave, but stood quietly at the door of the hall without saying a word. speak.

Until Xiao Dezi came to talk to him.

"Uncle, His Majesty is asleep. The servants are guarding the outside, you can go in and see His Majesty!"

Fu Yan turned slightly and walked towards the bedroom step by step.

Fu Yan didn't stay for long, he just stood far away and glanced at the sleeping Ah Jiu and left.

But Ah Jiu was awake, and she didn't dare to move when she heard the conversation between the two. She thought that Fu Yan was going to come in, but she didn't come in. Thinking of how sad Ah Jiu felt, she raised her white fingers and sobbed. .

From tomorrow onwards, she is going to push the uncle to someone else's side.
