Your Majesty the Empress, I am really not a traitor!

And the source of everything, Qin Ji, was still sound asleep.

Lingyan also fell asleep lying beside Qin Ji's bed, but her sleep was still very shallow, and layers of protection were placed outside, so as long as someone came in, she would wake up immediately.

Qin Siyue is drawing in the next room. Although she is in charge of intelligence work, the workload of this job is not particularly heavy at present, and she does not need to stare at it all day long.

Xia Yuxiao came to Chunning Palace nervously with the imperial doctor.There are no guards at the gate of this palace. Rather, it is precisely because it is in the palace that Chunning Palace has removed those unnecessary guards.

"You keep an eye on the door and don't allow anyone to break in, understand?"

Xia Yuxiao gave instructions to the follower Long Wei in a low voice.

"Yes." Song Jingqing nodded, and the dragon guards immediately set up a tight defense around them.

Qin Ji frequently entered and exited her bedroom, but Xia Yuxiao came to Chunning Palace relatively rarely. She stood at the door and motioned for the dragon guards beside her to knock on the door.

The door was knocked, and with the sound of knocking, the person who came to open the door was none other than Qin Ji's trusted guard, Lingyan.

Seeing Xia Yuxiao carrying a group of people with big bags and small bags, and looking as if she was about to come to fight, Lingyan was stunned for a few seconds, and then hurriedly saluted: "Your Majesty, I can't greet you from afar, but I hope your majesty will be happy. Please Let me tell my young master and let him come out to meet him."

"No need, let him rest." Xia Yuxiao waved her hand, "I'm here to visit him. His current condition...is he alright?"

visit?

Lingyan looked suspiciously at the group of people following Xia Yuxiao.Even if they came to visit, it wouldn't be such a big fight, right?

"Thanks to His Majesty's concern, the young master is in good condition, but he has not woken up yet."

What Lingyan meant was, if you come to visit Qin Ji and he is still awake, I will wake you up.

But what Xia Yuxiao heard was another meaning.

"Come on, take me to meet him."

"Yes."

Seeing that the other party didn't have any instructions to go directly to see Qin Ji, Lingyan's mind was full of question marks. His majesty's behavior was so strange. He said he wanted to visit the young master, but he didn't let himself go to wake the young master, and went to see him in person.

what does it mean?

Lingyan was full of doubts, but she didn't dare to say that she was just a bodyguard, and the position of leader of the Huilin Department was just a task for her. Considering Xia Yuxiao's request, it was not a big deal, and she was also in the It doesn't matter if the young master came to visit after he was drunk.

So, a group of people came to Qin Ji's bedroom.

Xia Yuxiao entered the bedroom, and immediately saw Qin Ji's peaceful appearance.

She controlled the emotions in her heart, walked forward, sat beside Qin Ji, and sighed:

"When did you fall asleep?"

"Just fell asleep not long ago." Lingyan said obediently, "Master, His Majesty has come to see you, please wake up."

Hearing Lingyan's call, Qin Ji slowly woke up from his sleep.

Needless to say, this feeling really makes up for it, it's quite comfortable.

He stretched and yawned, then opened his eyes.

In an instant, Xia Yuxiao's eyes met head-on.

Qin Ji froze for a moment, then hurriedly closed his eyes.

Hmm, the way I opened my eyes must be wrong.

He opened his eyes again, and they were the familiar Xia Yuxiao's eyes.

"Your Majesty... why are you here?"

My mother also, as for what, I can't even make up for sleep?And you ran over to stare at me yourself?

"I heard that you are sick, the country needs you now, you can't make a mistake, so I came to visit specially, and brought along the imperial doctor from the palace to treat you."

Xia Yuxiao said solemnly, but seeing Qin Ji's current state, she was relieved. Although she was still lying on the bed, she could still look energetic.

"Ah, I'm just..." Qin Ji was about to say that he wasn't sick at all, when he suddenly thought of something.

Lingyan told Xia Yuxiao about the situation. If it was true, then there was no need for her to mobilize so many people to see her.

It's bad, it's not Lingyan who made the situation serious, making His Majesty think that she has something wrong, right?

Thinking of this, Qin Ji immediately reacted, now that so many people are watching, they can't make a mess, it's not good for each other.So, he immediately possessed his body and made a slow-moving look:

"Ah...how dare I bother His Majesty, it's just an occasional ailment, Your Majesty doesn't need to worry about it."

"How can I do that? If I hadn't asked you to do things these days, you wouldn't have come to this point," Xia Yuxiao said hastily, "Come on, see a doctor for the Taiwei, and you must make a good diagnosis and treatment."

"Yes."

The imperial doctor beside him rushed up, took the pulse, asked the doctor, and observed the condition.

Then, the imperial doctor was a little puzzled.

No, he came to me in such a hurry, is this person not sick?

If he is exhausted, it means lack of sleep and lack of sleep. Although he is indeed a little weak, in terms of physical fitness, he is even much stronger than His Majesty. If he is considered sick, he will not start with a sub-healthy body like His Majesty. ?

However, the old imperial doctor had seen a lot after all, and he probably guessed from Qin Ji's constant winking and the reaction of the monarch and his ministers, so he knew it, turned around and said to Xia Yuxiao:

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, although the Taiwei is ill, there is nothing serious about it. It's just a disease caused by overwork. You only need to prescribe medicine to recuperate, and you can recover after a little rest."

You see, this is the art of language. If it is said that "Taiwei stays up late and stays up too much to catch up on sleep", then Xia Yuxiao will be very embarrassed if the patient has nothing to do after a long visit.

But with a little embellishment, saying "sickness from overwork" and "take a little rest", it is not too big to be said to be too small.

"That's good." Hearing this, Xia Yuxiao felt relieved, "Then prescribe the medicine."

Die laughing, prescribe medicine?Prescribe a hammer medicine for staying up late to catch up on sleep?However, the old imperial doctor just complained in his heart, and finally took out a pen and paper in front of everyone, and formulated a few insignificant medicines to invigorate the kidney qi-anyway, both the Taiwei and His Majesty are engaged, although physically Not a problem, but it's always good to fix it a little bit.

Thus, such an oolong ended in the hands of an experienced old man.

Chapter 6 Rest by Order

Xia Yuxiao looked at the prescription handed over by the imperial doctor. She didn't know how to cure the disease, so she didn't doubt anything, and directly handed it to Liu Songyao beside her: "Go, grab the medicine according to the prescription, and let them make it up." send it over."

"Yes."

Afterwards, Xia Yuxiao rewarded the imperial doctors with some money and dismissed them.

As long as people are fine, in the current situation, Qin Ji's body really can't be broken, otherwise it would be bad.

After everyone else had quit, Xia Yuxiao looked at Qin Ji's appearance, then shook her head helplessly:

"It's been a hard day these days."

"Where, Your Majesty has worked harder than a minister." Qin Ji said.

Looking at the man lying on the bed, Xia Yuxiao couldn't help feeling a little emotional. To be honest, she was really used to Qin Ji, probably because it was so easy to use, so she sometimes even ignored that the other party was still a real person. people.

Now even such a lively person is overworked, maybe he is really too picky sometimes.

Of course, she may not know that Qin Ji can actually get up, but he just doesn't dare to get up...

In the past, when he was sick, Xia Yuxiao might have considered finding an excuse to divide his power, but now, she hesitated.

"You take a good rest these two days. When you feel better, when will you go to work. Don't think about work these days."

"But, Your Majesty, my official business..."

"There are not many military matters. You can tell me that I will let other people handle them. As for the internal affairs, in fact, they are the work I imposed on you, and you should not be responsible for them. Prime Minister Long and Wang Yushi I can do it for you, if it doesn't work, I still have some officials who are still idle, and some less important things can also be handed over to them."

To be honest, Xia Yuxiao really wanted to lighten Qin Ji's burden at this time. After all, this guy's body can't have any accidents, and seeing him being overwhelmed by jobs that didn't belong to him made her really feel a little sorry .

However, a very sad problem is that Xia Yuxiao's image is very deep in Qin Ji's impression.

Hearing what she said, Qin Ji almost broke out in a cold sweat.

All right, this guy is quite shady, I just got sick here, so you're planning to deprive me of power, right?

From Qin Ji's point of view, he was forced to "sick" on his side, and Xia Yuxiao immediately seamlessly proposed to hand over the affairs that did not belong to him to others.

Isn't this a typical example of letting him delegate power? In order to influence the internal affairs, the original Qin Ji spent a lot of effort to gradually touch the internal affairs and control the country's important affairs with one hand. Now she is ready to distribute her powers immediately, okay, Bad intentions!

"Your Majesty, I'm still in good health, but I'm just taking a short rest. Many of the official duties I'm responsible for involve confidential and important matters, and there are many complicated and complicated matters. Misunderstood state affairs."

"The body of the minister can still recover, but if there is a mistake in the country's major affairs, it will lead to great disasters. Therefore, the minister is willing to continue to share the worries for His Majesty, and I implore His Majesty's permission."

Qin Ji spoke clearly and clearly.

"Is that so... that's fine, but you don't need to be in a hurry now, anyway, if you don't delay important matters for a day or two, you can rest at ease first, and I will let Prime Minister Long help you deal with those things that are not important. "

Although the old man is getting old, she really can't bear to let the old man light a lamp and boil oil like a young man for a day, but who made the incident happen suddenly now.

"Master."

At this time, Lingyan, who was originally in charge of seeing off guests outside the house, returned to the house.

"Oh, Lingyan, what's wrong?"

It happened that Lingyan appeared now and solved the next topic for the two of them, Qin Ji hurriedly asked.

"..." Lingyan glanced at Xia Yuxiao subconsciously, and then looked at Qin Ji with a questioning look.

Qin Ji waved his hand: "Speak."

"Yes," Lingyan replied, "Just now there was news from the Linwei at Huilin's place, and the news is being spread among the court ministers that you are sick and bedridden, and the situation is serious."

"???"

Qin Ji said hello with a black face, but soon he realized something was wrong.

As the emperor Xia Yuxiao reacted faster, she immediately stood up: "Who passed it on!?"

"Your Majesty, we have no way of tracing this matter back. It seems that it was first reported by some important officials in the central government. It should be that they saw you bringing the imperial doctor to visit the young master in the palace, so we came to this conclusion."

Lingyan said.

"..." Xia Yuxiao was tired.

That's why she was so worried about Qin Ji's health problems. Once something happened to him, the officials of Daxia would spread the word quickly. At that time, she didn't know how much impact it would cause.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, nothing will be messed up."

Qin Ji sensed Xia Yuxiao's thoughts, and he comforted her in a low voice.

Xia Yuxiao nodded helplessly, this is true, there must be no chaos.These ministers are all human beings, how could they start to do things immediately after hearing the news, without confirmation, even if some of them have disobedience in their hearts, they will not rush to do it.

"Well, Qin Ji, we don't need to explain this to the outside world, and you don't need to worry, they will come to visit sooner or later, and then these rumors will naturally have no basis."
