Be good, call me uncle

Chapter 169 I like to hear it

Chang Sun Tao put down the bowl and asked Cang Wu to invite the people in.Yu Qinghuan quickly packed up and walked out with the tray.

The person who came was the royal official next to Emperor Jiayou. He was holding the imperial edict of Emperor Ming. When he saw Changsun Tao, he said with a smile: "King Qi, I congratulate you for waking up. During the period when you were unconscious, Your Majesty, I am so worried that if I were not busy with government affairs, I would definitely come to express my condolences to the prince in person."

Changsun Tao said: "Your Majesty, you were joking, it's just a minor injury. Please tell your brother, don't worry too much."

The prince nodded and said: "My servant will convey your Majesty's words to you, but before that, I would like to ask the prince to take over His Majesty's decree."

Changsun Tao wanted to get up, but Xie Yun quickly went to help him. Because he had been lying in bed for a long time, his feet were numb. When he got out of bed, he staggered and almost fell.

With a smile on his face, the prince bowed down to give him a hand, but did not touch Changsun Tao.

"Long live my emperor, long live the emperor." Changsun Tao and Xie Yun knelt down.

The prince unfolded the imperial edict and read loudly: "By God's decree, the emperor decreed that King Qi has been in bed for some time due to the unfortunate assassination. There is no one to lead the [-] troops guarding the capital. I am afraid that if things continue like this, the soldiers will not be trained and will not be able to fulfill their mission of defending the capital. Therefore, I ask King Qi to hand over the military talisman for the time being, so that I can take good care of my health, and share my worries for the country as soon as possible, and share my worries for me, I appreciate this!"

"King Qi, please accept the order!" The prince smiled so hard that the flesh on his face was lumped together. "Your Majesty is so considerate of you! You can take this opportunity to have a good rest. You have worked hard these years."

Changsun Tao stretched out his hand to take the imperial edict, raised his lips and said with a smile: "Thank you, my dear brother, for your kindness."

There was no flaw in his expression, but his hand holding the imperial edict was squeezed tightly.

Seizing the power of one hundred thousand soldiers was equivalent to breaking an arm of Prince Qi's palace. These years, Sun Tao was tortured by poison and never showed any weakness, just to guard against this day, but this time he was injured, and more than ten years of hard work were in vain. It was actually cheaper for Emperor Jiayou.

It is absolutely impossible to say that Changsun Tao is not angry, but he has always been restrained and restrained. He rarely gets red-eyed, but he can still maintain a calm mood at this time.

Cang Wu stepped forward, stuffed a banknote into the prince's hand, and respectfully invited the prince out.

"Brother, this is adding insult to injury, you are not very kind!" Changsun Tao threw the imperial edict on the table, sat back on the bed and leaned against the quilt.

Xie Yun closed the folding fan and said, "I'm a little impatient."

Changsun Tao said: "He is naturally impatient. After so many years, he finally found an excuse to reduce the power of my king's garrison in the capital. After all, the camp of the garrison in the capital is very close. I am afraid that the emperor has not been able to sleep at night over the years, feeling that I am the king at any time. They will lead an army of [-] people into the palace and take away the position he worked so hard to get."

Xie Yun said: "It seems that he was still cautious and did not reduce the power of your 15 border troops."

Changsun Tao said: "This is the emperor's brother. He obviously doesn't do human affairs, but he always wants to keep his name clear, for fear that others will say he is a coward."

Xie Yun said: "Zhaohua, you seem to have a countermeasure?"

Changsun Tao said: "Brother Huang acted hastily this time. He must have not yet decided who to hand over the military power of the capital garrison to."

Xie Yun smiled knowingly: "He must be worried about outsiders, so there are only the older Crown Prince and the Second Prince. However, they have always been at odds with each other, and they will definitely fight to the death for the military power."

Changsun Tao said: "Pass the order, all our people will stand still." Xie Yun chuckled: "The higher-ups must have the idea of ​​making us anxious, hoping that we will lose our composure and expose everyone for him to arrest. So we can’t fish in troubled waters, nor can we add fuel to the flames, we can just stand by and watch.”

Changsun Tao said: "Since he wants to pull out my claws, I will follow his wish and stay at home."

Xie Yun said: "Then... will the Gu family's case proceed as planned?"

Changsun Tao said: "Master Gu cannot continue to die unjustly without knowing why. This matter is left to you to handle. You must give an explanation to the Gu family."

Xie Yun added: "Mrs. Gu and Gu Huaijun live in Prince Qi's Mansion. I'm afraid the superiors won't let us accomplish this easily."

Changsun Tao said: "Before the matter comes to an end, it is safest for them to live in Prince Qi's Mansion. From the moment Mr. Gu took office as the magistrate of Qizhou, his relationship with me has been unclear. In this case, Prince Qi's Mansion has to deal with this matter." Just take care of it until the end, and you can't let a hero suffer injustice."

Xie Yun said: "Although there are some risks, I support you in this matter."

After the two discussed the matter, Yu Qinghuan came back, holding the medicine for Changsun Tao.

"I'll go and get busy first..." Xie Yun may not be compatible with Yu Qinghuan. He didn't want to stay where Yu Qinghuan was. When he saw Yu Qinghuan come in, he immediately slipped away.

Yu Qinghuan served Chang Sun Tao after drinking the medicine, put the medicine bowl aside, put his fingers on his pulse, and finally asked: "King Qi, your pulse looks very normal, but the recovery from the injury is much slower than ordinary people. What are you hiding from me?"

Changsun Tao said: "Maybe the bear's claws were poisonous, so it recovered slowly."

Yu Qinghuan shook his head: "I'm not referring to the wound, but your energy and physical strength."

Changsun Tao raised his lips: "Are you worried about my king's problems?"

Yu Qinghuan clasped her hands suddenly, raised her lips and said, "King Qi, naughty people never get any good fruits."

Changsun Tao took out the hand that Yu Qinghuan held: "You are a doctor. If you can't check it out, how can I know that there is something wrong with my body?"

Yu Qinghuan was certain that Chang Sun Tao was hiding something from her, but Chang Sun Tao was unwilling to tell her, and she had no way of asking, so she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

Finally, she picked up the tea cup and handed it to Chang Sun Tao: "This will help your body recover."

Chang Sun Tao opened the lid, and a scent of fragrance hit his nostrils. He couldn't help but put it to his nose and sniffed it, and asked with interest: "What is this? It smells good."

Yu Qinghuan said: "This is a small wild flower that grows in the countryside. Every autumn, it blooms all over the fields. There is a cluster here and a cluster there. It doesn't look very eye-catching, but it has high medicinal value and is good for healthy people." It can also be used to make drinks. In the past, every time I went to collect herbs with my grandfather, I would pick a lot and bring them home to my mother to dry. As long as I smell the smell of this flower on my mother’s body, I will know , there is fragrant scented tea to drink again.”

Yu Qinghuan said with a nostalgic look on his face. Changsun Tao listened with rapt attention. Seeing him like this, Yu Qinghuan quickly said: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't tell you this."

Changsun Tao said: "No, I like to hear it."
