Surprisingly, this time, Ji Xubai cooperated very well without Mr. Ji's earnest words. He took the initiative to tell the doctor what he was not feeling well and asked him to prescribe medicine for him.
Lord Ji secretly pulled Ji Xili aside and asked, "Xu Bai, what's going on?"
Ji Xili just shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Maybe Wen Zhigu said something to him, and he suddenly had the fighting spirit to live..."
Hearing this, Lord Ji smiled kindly and said, "My wife here will do the trick."
Ji Xili was helpless: "Dad, I don't recognize Wen Zhigu as your daughter-in-law anymore."
"Dad knows what his son is like. As long as he sincerely repents, he will get his daughter-in-law back to me one day." Lord Ji is extremely confident about this. Are you kidding me? If you can't even take care of your own wife, what else are you going to do in the Hanlin Academy
Just as he was talking, he suddenly heard a voice coming from outside - "The Emperor has arrived!"
Ji Xili then remembered that she was patronizing Ji Xubai, but she had forgotten about Sheng Zhiyu, and she followed Lord Ji out.
Before she could salute, Sheng Zhiyu took the initiative to come over, took her hands and held them together, interlocking their fingers, and then greeted Lord Ji.
Lord Ji observed his words and couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, did Xili run out of the palace without telling you?"
Ji Xili thought that in front of his father, Sheng Zhiyu would treat him a little less favorably, but Sheng Zhiyu didn't, so he nodded sincerely and said yes.
Hearing this, Lord Ji wanted to teach Ji Xili again: "You child, my father has told you before that you are not allowed to leave the palace privately..."
Sheng Zhiyu lowered his head and saw his empress bowing her head in embarrassment, and raised the corners of his lips. After all, he still couldn't bear her being scolded, so he gently interrupted Lord Ji's words and said, "Master Hou, everything is fine." Son, I will take care of the Queen when I get back."
The meaning of "cleaning up" was extraordinary. How could Lord Ji fail to hear the affection implicit in the emperor's words? Ji Xili felt a little embarrassed and pushed his hand, not wanting him to hold it.
But Sheng refused to give in and took her hand to go to the Yuyuan to visit Ji Xubai.
However, Ji Xubai was more "disabled and mentally strong" than expected. Sheng Zhiyu asked him to rest at home for a few months for the sake of his queen, but Ji Xubai said that he would recover from his injuries within half a month. Back to the Hanlin Academy.
After coming out of Ji Mansion, Sheng Zhiyu took Ji Xili to Luan Jia and set off back to the palace.
Sheng Zhiyu couldn't help but look at her and smile. Ji Xili had an incomprehensible look on his face, "Why are you laughing?"
Sheng Zhiyu didn't say anything immediately, but lowered his head and kissed her. Ji Xili moved his lips slightly, feeling something inexplicable surge in his heart, but he couldn't tell what it was.
Sheng Zhiyu looked down at her with a faint smile on his lips: "Xili, you came out of the palace for your brother."
Ji Xili nodded, "What else does the Emperor think?"
"I didn't think anything of it."
Ji Xili laughed angrily and turned to look out the window. After a while, he couldn't help but sigh: "This battle doesn't feel easy to fight."
Although Ji Xili did not go to the battlefield, he could feel that Qian Shiguo's attack was not in line with common sense.
Sheng Zhiyu nodded slightly: "Fourth brother also said it, but he told me that he was sure."
