After returning from Chongyi Lake that day, there was no follow-up to Xu Guangyao's matter, Chu Xiang didn't mention it, Yue Lingxi didn't ask, plus the flood season was ushered in everywhere, and the court was very busy, and so did the two of them, so this matter gradually faded away.
On this day, the court meeting was extended for a long time, the four doors of the Taihe Hall were closed, Chu Xiang had been staying inside to discuss the flood control plan with the ministers, and other things were moved back, Yue Lingxi returned to the Yilan Hall without waiting around, and was about to review the book he read yesterday, when an uninvited guest suddenly came.
"Long time no see, Night Cultivator!"
The man walked into the hall with a big grin in his medicine box, smiling brightly and freely, unfettered by the etiquette of the palace, as in the barracks.
Yue Lingxi was a little stunned and a little surprised when she saw her acquaintance, and asked as she walked over to greet her, "Doctor Lu, why are you here?"
” "I'm the imperial doctor in the palace, of course I'll be here!"
Lu Mingrui squeezed her eyes, very playful and cute, far from the image of the imperial doctor in Yue Lingxi's impression, but seeing that she was wearing an official uniform and could freely enter and exit the Great Inner Forbidden Palace, she knew that what she said was true, she could serve in the Tai Hospital at such a young age, which showed that her medical skills were superb, Yue Lingxi was surprised and couldn't help but secretly admire.
However, it seems that she was probably going to take care of Chu Xiang with the army at the beginning, so it is no wonder that there are so many good medicines, and there is no shortage of medicinal materials and silver in the Tai Hospital.
"Thanks to your care at the border, I should have gone to you first, knowing that you were so close."
Yue Lingxi led Lu Mingrui to sit next to the rosewood round case, and asked Shu Ning to bring her new tea and snacks to entertain her, her gratitude was overflowing, who knew that she deliberately lengthened her voice and said: "Don't dare, Ye Xiuyi is now a celebrity in front of Your Majesty's eyes, let you run from the East Palace to the West Palace in such a hot weather, Your Majesty will definitely pick my skin." ” Her expression was quite exaggerated, and Yue Lingxi couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth and said, "How come, Your Majesty is not a tyrant." ” The point is not here at all......
Lu Mingrui snorted and laughed, and didn't correct her, and skipped the topic lightly and skillfully: "I heard that you hit your shoulder a few days ago, how is it, are you better?"
” "It's all right."
Yue Lingxi picked up the purple clay pot and poured a cup of tea for her, and suddenly white smoke rose, and the fragrance was permeated, "Imperial Doctor Lu came to me today for something important?"
” "Naturally, there is."
Lu Mingrui turned around and took out a pastel thin-necked bottle from the medicine box, which was printed with passionflower and blue bird, which looked very pleasing, but the capacity was relatively small, only half of the teacup in their hands, and it was also very light to hold, almost no feel, and it was estimated that the medicine contained in it was both precious and rare.
"It's ......"
"This has a lot of origins, it is the head of the Tai Hospital, that is, the scar removal medicine developed by my father, called No Trace."
Her upright face and the boastful tone of Wang Po's selling melons were really funny, Yue Lingxi forgot to ask her what she was doing with this bottle of medicine, and only praised in a soft voice: "Imperial Doctor Lu is really interesting." ” Lu Mingrui waved his small hand and said, "Don't let Imperial Doctor Lu come to the night cultivation ceremony, we are both tired, why don't you call me Mingrui and I call you Ling Xi?"
” "Okay."
Yue Lingxi agreed happily, Lu Mingrui was not far behind, and after calling her name with a smile, he pushed the medicine bottle in front of her, and said: "You can use this, the effect is good, don't look at only a small bottle, as long as you wipe it once, no matter what scar can be removed, this is what my mother wiped after she was burned, and it will be all in ten days!"
” It turned out that he was here to deliver medicine to her.
Yue Lingxi was not sluggish, and soon realized that Lu Mingrui's arrival was not a coincidence, and this medicine was obviously for her to get rid of the tattoo on her chest, that is, this was Chu Xiang's instructions.
No wonder he said he wanted to get rid of this hidden danger for her......
What does the disappearance of the tattoo mean Yue Lingxi knew very well, for a criminal family, this was already a great benevolence, he took great pains, what reason did she have to refuse this kindness?
The heart has long been like a mountain forest drifting in the morning mist, wet.
She lifted the cap, looked at the ointment inside, and asked, "How do I use this?"
” "After washing the affected area, apply a thin layer."
Lu Mingrui paused, and carefully admonished a few more words, "It may be a little painful, similar to a burning sensation, but don't pick it, don't scratch it, the old scars will start to fall off after a night, and there will be no traces." ” "I see."
Yue Lingxi nodded to her, "Mingrui, thank you for making this trip." ” Lu Mingrui said nonchalantly: "What's polite, it's just a trivial matter!"
I'll check on you in a few days and keep you through the summer!
” God knows, Yue Lingxi didn't love beauty, and there were more scars on her body, but she just smiled slightly, so she misunderstood it.
"Okay, then I'll trouble you."
Late at night.
The lights were dim, everything was silent, everything had been settled, and Yue Lingxi, who had finished bathing, stood in front of the bronze mirror in a snow-satin bedrobe and began to apply medicine with the bright palace lamp.
The ointment was very cold, like a thin layer of ice on the tattoo, and she wiped her hands to make sure nothing was missed and lay down.
At this moment, Chu Xiang was still in the imperial study to review the chapters.
Even more unconsciously, it was already halfway through, and the chief eunuch Xue Fengchun bent over to the imperial case and asked respectfully: "Your Majesty, the hour is not early, there is still a court meeting tomorrow morning, do you think it's time to go back to the palace to rest?"
” Chu Xiang paused, raised his head to look at the sky outside the window, and suddenly said, "Did Lu Mingrui go to Yilan Hall today?"
” "Back to Your Majesty's words, I've been there."
Chu Xiang pondered for a moment, put the wolf in his hand back into the colored porcelain lotus pond pen wash, and said, "Drive the Yilan Palace." ” In the vast night, the imperial chariot quietly stopped on the front lawn, Chu Xiang walked into the dark hall alone with a night lamp in his hand, and the light seeped out from the hollow jade, like a fine broken star, swaying and spilling into a room.
Bing Jian in the center was still exuding a cool air, and the temperature in the room was not high, enough to make people sleep well, but the people on the bed seemed to be restless, tossing and turning, and breathing heavily.
Chu Xiang finally sensed that something was wrong, strode forward and lifted the curtain, only to see Yue Lingxi huddled in the corner with Liang in his arms, his eyes closed, and his head was covered with fine sweat, I don't know if he was stunned or uncomfortable.
His face sank, and he stretched out his arms to take her into his arms, then gently patted her cheek.
"Wake up."
Yue Lingxi opened his eyes with a sigh, but his mind was still in chaos, and it took him a long time to recognize who he was, and then he called softly: "Your Majesty......"

"Isn't it uncomfortable?"
Chu Xiang asked while touching her forehead, the temperature was a little high, but it was not yet to the level of fever, maybe it was just hot, thinking of this, he asked people to bring a handkerchief, soaked it in cold water for a while before sticking it to her cheek, she seemed to be sober, but still had no strength, and her head went straight into his arms.
Seeing this, Chu Xiang was about to order Xue Fengchun to ask the imperial doctor, but who knew that he happened to see the medicine bottle on the round table when his eyes turned, and he suddenly understood, and he raised his hand and ripped open her clothes, and sure enough, his chest was red, and his hands were hot to the touch.
This medicine is also too domineering.
Although Lu Mingrui had made it clear to him in advance, the current situation was unexpected, which caught him off guard.
He hugged Yue Lingxi and turned around, wanting to take a closer look, but unexpectedly, the silver-white bedgown slipped down from his shoulders, revealing a large bare back, and in the dim light, several old scars snaked into his eyes.
There's even a ...... behind it Is there anything left on her body that is still intact?
Chu Xiang's face was hidden in the shadows, she couldn't see her expression clearly, but the hand on Yue Lingxi's shoulder slowly tightened, she was a little unbearable, and she barely lifted her eyes to look at him, but it was hazy.
"Awkward."
Chu Xiang's voice was soft and low, vaguely inducing, "Tell me, how did these scars come about?"
” The hot palm rubbed against her back as if it had evoked a series of sparks that made her tremble, and sweat poured out endlessly, soaking his robe and making her more and more drowsy, unable to even comprehend the meaning of his words.
Chu Xiang stared at her and asked again without hesitation: "Who hurt you?"
” Yue Lingxi seemed to react, gasped a few times, and two vague words escaped from his lips, Chu Xiang heard it clearly, and his handsome face was covered with a layer of frost in an instant.
Sure enough, those goddamn errands!
She was only eight years old at the time, and she was a weak girl, and those people could do it!
After so many years, although the scars have grown, they are still shocking, which shows how badly injured they were at that time, Chu Xiang stared at the exposed skin, just wanted to open the bedclothes to see if the other places were the same, and his hand stopped halfway through, and then stopped, and turned to caress her face, even if the anger was rampant in his chest, the force was always gentle.
Although Yue Lingxi was still hot, it was not as unbearable as just now, when the sleepiness came, she leaned on Chu Xiang and fell asleep, Chu Xiang had no intention of leaving, her arms kept around her, as if she didn't feel tired, Xue Fengchun and Shu Ning, who were standing next to her, glanced at each other, and both thought that something was wrong, so they asked for instructions.
"Your Majesty, Xiuyi will be left to the old slave and others to take care of, you are tired for a day, it is better to ...... earlier" "Stand down."
The two words without temperature forced all the unfinished words back, and the two didn't dare to persuade them again, so they had to bend over and retreat, and the moment they closed the door, Shu Ning vaguely saw that Chu Xiang had moved Yue Lingxi to a comfortable sleeping position, and then leaned against the head of the bed and did not move, and the curtain spread out like a cloud, covering the snuggling figure.
Your Majesty wants to stay in Yilan Palace?
Shu Ning was slightly startled, then took a deep breath, and walked out of the hall in Xue Fengchun's meaningful eyes.
She understood what he meant, so she had to tell those little girls that this matter must not be spread, otherwise His Majesty and Xiu Yi should be in trouble. twenty-two It was sunny for several days, and the sun was shining all over the royal capital, but there was a cloud over the Xu Mansion in the north of the city, which was very depressing.
"Master, we are just such a son, if we really fall into the prison and be locked up for two years, it will be all over!"
The woman's crying voice was very harsh, disturbing Xu Changzhi who couldn't calm down and think about things, and after a moment, he finally couldn't help but get up, and roared with a blue face: "You shut up for me!"
I know that there is trouble at home every day, do you think that the prison was opened by my Xu family?
Say that if you release people, you can release people?
” "Then you might as well find a way!"
The woman wept even harder.
"You're right!"
Thinking of the good deeds his son did, Xu Changzhi became more and more angry, "Knowing that the imperial court has repeatedly ordered that official prostitutes are not allowed to be raised, he is good, he dared to take people to the lake in broad daylight, and was bumped into by King Ning!"
King Ning is well-known for his iron-faced selflessness in the court, and he is also a royal nobleman, who dares to touch his moldy head?
I'm just trying to find someone to work out of it now, but I can't do it!
” The woman wiped away her tears and sobbed: "But I heard Xiao Jiu'er beside Yao'er say that it was not King Ning who he offended, but ......."
"Shut up!"
Xu Changzhi hurriedly interrupted her words, and his face became more and more ugly.
He had already heard the servant narrate the whole story, and he was very sure that Chu Xiang was on the boat at the time, the Son of Heaven called a prostitute, just thinking about these four words, his sweat came out, and he didn't know how that rebel was so bold and dared to stab this matter in front of so many people, it was simply stupid!
If nothing else, it would be too reckless to judge that woman as a criminal based on just one tattoo, even if it was true?
Picking the emperor's mistakes is tantamount to looking for death, he may find an excuse to destroy the Xu family anytime and anywhere, and now he should be glad that only Xu Guangyao is closed, this fool dares to say this kind of thing, it is simply tired and crooked!
Xu Changzhi took a few breaths before he could barely suppress his anger, and then turned his head and said sharply: "If you still want that rabbit cub to live, this matter will be swallowed in my stomach forever!"
” The woman was convinced of what he said, and immediately looked frightened, and did not dare to say a word, but she was really worried about her son, so she asked timidly, "What shall I do now, sir?"
” Xu Changzhi thought for a moment, and said with a gloomy face: "I'll go to the teacher's place and see what he can do." ” With that, he hurried out of the study, leaving only a dark gray afterglow.
There are gloomy clouds and mist here, but the palace not far away is comfortable.
As the leader of the Tai Hospital, the medicine given by Lu Mingrui is indeed very powerful, after using it, the tattoo on Yue Lingxi's chest really disappeared, and there was no trace on the smooth and fair skin, which was really amazing, and at the same time, the danger of being exposed disappeared, Yue Lingxi's heart was steady, Chu Xiang was also comfortable, and life was naturally relaxed.
However, Chu Xiang has been staying in Xuanqing Palace most of the time recently, just because the front and back of the imperial study are high pavilions, the wind can't blow in, and the heat is completely closed inside, and he doesn't stay long to sweat, and the Xuanqing Palace is open and shaded, and the things in the palace are also complete, so he temporarily moved all the government affairs here.
This also saves Yue Lingxi a lot of trouble, and he no longer has to run back and forth between the Xuanqing Palace and the imperial study.

One afternoon, Chu Xiang went to the Gyeonggi camp to inspect, she personally went to the Imperial City and sent back those folds that had not passed the imperial approval, because it was related to the tide, so she couldn't be sloppy at all, and then returned to the palace after she fully explained Chu Xiang's meaning, it was already dark.
When she walked into the Xuanqing Palace, the palace maid said that Chu Xiang had come back and was bathing, she nodded to indicate that she knew, and then went to the study to tidy up her things.
After being absent for half a day, some of the documents were played by the cabinet, and some were sent from various state capitals, and Yue Lingxi's duty was to classify them and mark them, and then hand them over to Chu Xiang for approval.
She stood in front of the imperial case and sorted it in an orderly manner, one didn't pay attention, a copy leaked out of the middle and fell to the ground, she bent down to pick it up, and a few lines of simple and clumsy small Kai suddenly came into view, and it seemed that it was handed over from the southern Xinjiang side.
The environment in southern Xinjiang is harsh, most areas are shrouded in miasma rain and smoke, resulting in barren land and lack of food, and the imperial court has to spend a lot of silver every year to help the poor.
Yue Lingxi carefully read every word written by the governor of southern Xinjiang, and then found that it was the same old tune, miasma rain polluting water sources has always been a problem, and the imperial court had given a solution before, but the local people did not cooperate, so the situation was getting worse and worse.
The governor of southern Xinjiang didn't think about how to convince the people, but complained to the court twice in three days, and it was just another time, and now that the flood control affairs were so tense, he came to add to the chaos, but he was afraid that Chu Xiang would be angry again when he saw this report.
Thinking so, a deep male voice suddenly came from behind her: "What are you looking at?"
” Yue Lingxi turned around and found that Chu Xiang was walking towards her step by step, with a silk robe draped on her body at random, and the belt was loosely tied around her waist, revealing her bronzed chest and abdominal muscles, and there were undried water droplets hanging on it, faintly shining with an alluring luster, and her sexual feelings were overwhelming.
When he stood still in front of him, the refreshing scent of soaphorn suddenly wafted into the air, Yue Lingxi estimated that he should have just finished bathing, unconsciously looked at his wet black hair, moved back to his well-defined abdomen, and then stopped moving.
Inexplicable difficulty breathing.
Chu Xiang lowered his eyes, and when he saw her staring at him stunned, he couldn't help but chuckle and said, "You don't shy away from it at all." ” "Your Majesty is good-looking, why should you avoid it?"
Yue Lingxi's face was dazed, as if this was an obvious thing, Chu Xiang was stunned by her question, and then picked up her face and asked in a dumb voice, "Where is it beautiful?"
” "It's nice here."
Yue Lingxi lowered his head and poked his abdominal muscles, touched it lightly a few more times, and muttered, "There are clouds in the biography, there is a famous general in the Yun Dynasty, his arms have the strength of a thousand catties, his muscles are knotted, and his blood is stretched, so it must be like this." ” Chu Xiang froze instantly, only to feel that she put a fire in her lower abdomen, burning all the way down to the limbs and bones along the blood, burning his mouth and mouth, his whole body was hot, and even his breathing was at a blazing temperature, and before he could pull her hand away, he suddenly moved slightly uncontrollably somewhere, and raised an obvious arc on the light and close-fitting silk clothes, which was as hard as a sword that had just been quenched out of water.
Yue Lingxi didn't notice it, thinking that he was dissatisfied with her words because he didn't say anything, so he continued to search the small Chu language thesaurus in his mind, and only said after a while: "It's me who lost his words, how can a mere military general be compared to His Majesty?"
Your Majesty is fat and heroic......"
This basin of cold water was poured off guard, which made Chu Xiang sober up instantly, and immediately clamped her shoulders, her handsome face bowed, and she gritted her teeth and spit out a sentence: "Yue Lingxi, fat is to describe pigs." ” Calling her by name should be very angry.
Yue Lingxi was silently stunned, his brain was running rapidly for a few seconds, and he suddenly understood that he had made a mistake again, so he honestly admitted his mistake: "I was wrong, I was right." ” Chu Xiang snorted coldly.
"Your Majesty, don't be angry, I won't look at it or say it."
Yue Lingxi took the initiative to put on the silk clothes for him, and fastened the belt tightly, his every move was very intimate, Chu Xiang looked at her coldly, and his anger eased a little and heard her say, "Your Majesty put on your clothes first, don't catch a cold, there are still many folds to approve later." ” She didn't care about him, she was afraid that no one would deal with these government affairs!
Hurting, really hurting.
In the seven years since he ascended the throne, he has always regarded himself as diligent and loving the people, but today he wants to pick a son.
Seeing that he was silent with a dark face, Yue Lingxi couldn't help but have some doubts, so he leaned close to his body and called softly, "Your Majesty?
” It didn't matter if she didn't move, she just happened to bump into a little guy who was standing tall, poking her lower abdomen painfully, she frowned and looked down, and before she could figure out what it was, she was suddenly forcibly straightened by Chu Xiang, and she had to ask again: "What's the matter, Your Majesty?"
” Chu Xiang's face was indescribable: "Don't you want to see the excerpts?"
” "Oh, here."
Yue Lingxi took out the book he had just seen, opened it and handed it to Chu Xiang, he swept it at a glance, and then threw it back on the imperial case with a snap.
"Just let him cry wolf, I don't have time to pay attention to him now."
When it comes to business, Chu Xiang will not piggyback on personal emotions, such a reaction is really because the governor of southern Xinjiang has opened the lion's mouth again, how can this kind of bottomless pit be filled by the imperial court again and again?
It is the right choice to use the silver for the more urgent summer flood, Yue Lingxi also knows this truth, but he said unhurriedly: "I have a way to solve the drinking water problem of the people in southern Xinjiang, can Your Majesty listen to me first?"
” Chu Xiang raised his eyebrows, saw that she had a big open mind, turned his hand and pulled her into a seat, and said, "Let's hear it." ” "I know that the imperial court has already transported a large number of special clay pots that can be used to filter water, and after distributing them to various households, because they are too poor, the people have sold them again, and then they have been replaced to receive them, and after a few months, they have neither drunk clean water nor lived a rich life, everything is still the same, and the silver spent by the court has become useless, so the ministers have raised objections, and the plan to improve southern Xinjiang has been suspended, I am right, Your Majesty?"
Chu Xiang bowed: "That's the case." ” He is the king of a country, even if he has mercy on those suffering people, he must take into account the overall situation, Chu is not only one southern Xinjiang, and the treasury is not inexhaustible, and weighing has always been the most critical part of imperial art.
"I know Your Majesty's difficulties, so I won't let the imperial court spend such a large sum of money."
Yue Lingxi looked at him with blazing eyes, and his tone was extremely determined, "You only need to build a few pottery kilns in southern Xinjiang and take care of the local people as workers, so that you can not only provide income for them but also popularize the use of pottery, so that drinking water will naturally not be a problem." ” Hearing this, Chu Xiang fell into deep thought, and only raised his head after a long time, his eyes were full of undisguised appreciation.
"The people of southern Xinjiang should thank you."
Yue Lingxi shook his head lightly and said, "I saw a similar case when I was looking through the classics in the Library Pavilion, but I just applied its solution. ” She is not modest, because she understands that what is on paper is shallow, and when it comes to practice, there will be many difficulties, Chu Xiang just thought about it for a long time, most of it is because of this, if anyone in this world can implement this matter to the end despite all difficulties, there is no second person except him.
He is her strongest backing and her unique majesty. twenty-three After staying in the palace for a long time, Yue Lingxi gradually became familiar, no matter which hall or division of the people saw her, they would call her a night cultivator, she usually just nodded, her attitude was relatively cold, but it was rare to say a few words when she came to the imperial dining room today.
"Captain, are things boiled?"
The person who was called immediately wiped his hands and came out of the yellow glazed tile house, and replied with a huff: "It's already boiled up, and I'm about to send it over, why are you here?"
” "Just passing by."
Yue Lingxi glanced at the Hundred Flowers porcelain cup that came out of it, and asked carefully, "Didn't you put white fungus, Your Majesty has always been fond of eating." ” The chief hurriedly said: "How can you forget the small things you instructed?"
Other ingredients have been substituted, so don't worry!
” Yue Lingxi bowed slightly, let Shu Ning pick up the porcelain cup and leave.
Back in Xuanqing Palace, as soon as she crossed the threshold with one foot, she heard an intermittent coughing sound from inside, the sound was not heavy, but it was like a rough sandpaper scratching the palm of her hand, which was very uncomfortable, so she quickened her pace, put the things on the imperial case and persuaded softly: "Your Majesty, rest for a while, try this cup of almond Sichuan shell pear soup." ” Chu Xiang raised his head from the mountains of reclamation-like papers, glanced at her lightly, and said, "Why didn't you urge me to deal with government affairs today?"

” "It's important to recuperate."
Yue Lingxi personally filled a bowl and handed it to him, his eyebrows and eyes lowered, as if he had remorse, "If I hadn't had been with Your Majesty for so long that day, Your Majesty wouldn't have contracted the cold." ” Xue Fengchun, who was on the side, almost didn't stand firm when he heard this.
Could it be that Your Majesty and Xiu Yi have been- Finding that the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace had changed their faces to varying degrees, Chu Xiang's forehead twitched, and he simply dismissed them, turned his head and looked at Yue Lingxi again, a pair of black eyes were full of worry, his heart was slightly warm, and he finally couldn't bear to brush off her kindness, and said while taking the things: "It has nothing to do with you, don't think about it." ” Yue Lingxi didn't say a word, and quietly sat back on the small chair next to him.
I have to say that the imperial dining room is indeed very good, and the almond Sichuan shellfish pear soup is made like frosting, crystal clear and melts in the mouth, Chu Xiang scooped a few spoonfuls and swallowed it, and suddenly found that Yue Lingxi had been looking at herself, so she smiled and stretched the spoon towards her, and said, "Try it?"
” She shook her head seriously: "Your Majesty, it will be contagious." ” I still hate him!
Chu Xiang's face turned dark, his hands froze in mid-air, and before he could make a sound, he heard her say: "If I am also sick, Gonggong Xue will definitely not let me enter the palace, so how can I take care of Your Majesty?"
” When will her panting problem change?
Chu Xiang had a breath of air in his chest that he couldn't go up or down, choking enough, at this moment, there was a sudden chaotic sound of footsteps outside the hall, and Xue Fengchun, who had just withdrawn, appeared in front of them again, his feminine face was full of panic that could not be hidden, only to see him plop down and kneel down in front of the table, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, eight hundred miles of urgent report!"
” The letter he was holding in his hand was covered with a unique fire paint, Yue Lingxi stared at it, it seemed to be the official stamp of Youzhou, and his heart skipped a beat at the moment, and then he quickly took the letter and handed it to Chu Xiang.
The dam cracked, and the river flowed into the city.
Chu Xiang rubbed the letter paper and stood up suddenly, with a heavy anger between his eyebrows, as if the mountain rain was coming.
"Summoned to the cabinet and the people of the three provinces and six ministries!"
In less than three moments, several old courtiers hurried to the Xuanqing Palace in the twilight, such as the left servant of Shangshu and the servant of the door Pei Yuanshu, the Zhongshu Ling Ji Tong, the right servant of Shangshu and the secretary of the military department Gu Linwu are all pivotal figures in the court, followed by the courtiers of the six departments, such as Pei Zhao, the secretary of the criminal department, the waiter of the military department Yeyanxiu, etc., are people who often enter and leave the imperial study, as well as a few people from the imperial history platform and the Ministry of Industry, adding up to a lot of people, and they have occupied the hall one after another.
Chu Xiang sat on the top, looking down at everyone in the hall like a goshawk, his face was cold, he didn't say a word, all the ministers knew what was going on, and they didn't dare to make a sound, and the whole hall was filled with a terrifying dead silence.
Yue Lingxi, who was by Rao's side every day, had never seen Chu Xiang's appearance, so he couldn't help but glance a few more times from under his eyelashes.
Things have to be solved after all, Chen Qizhen, who has always dared to be the first, stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the Ejiang Dam is supervised by Fang Wenshuo, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, and now it has been completed in less than two years. ” Fang Wenshuo, who was named, knelt behind, his body shook slightly, but he did not defend himself.
Pei Yuanshu pondered for a moment, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the matter of accountability can be put aside for the time being, Youzhou is seriously affected, and the rescue policy must be studied as soon as possible, otherwise there is a risk of epidemic." ” In the heat of summer, the corpses will soon decompose, and the unclean water and pests and rats will easily breed epidemics, and then it will not only be a matter of water control, but I am afraid that it will cause an unprecedented disaster.
Several ministers present understood this truth, and many voices of approval appeared for a while, but the two people of Yushitai did not let go of Fang Wenshuo's dereliction of duty, and Li Rui, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, also took the initiative to kneel down and ask for guilt.
"Your Majesty, the Ejiang Dam has indeed undergone layers of review by the Ministry of Industry from the design drawings to the purchase of materials and construction, and now there is a problem, and the minister is duty-bound, and please ask Your Majesty to surrender!"
Hearing this, Yue Lingxi's eyes flashed slightly.
These words sounded like he was forced to say because he couldn't withstand the aggressive imperial history, but there was a strange feeling when he tasted it carefully, and Yue Lingxi temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart and continued to listen to their speeches.
"Your Majesty, the minister feels that the cracking of the dam has not been investigated in detail, and it is impossible to determine whether it is caused by human fault or natural disasters.
Chen Qizhen has always been unaccustomed to Ji Tong's golden mean, and when he heard this, he refuted mercilessly: "If it is really a problem of the Ministry of Industry, the last dam has collapsed, who would dare to use their plan again?"
” "You-" "Shut up!"
After a few disputes, the smell of gunpowder in the hall suddenly became stronger, Chu Xiang drank coldly, and it was quiet for a while.
His gaze slowly wandered around, and finally stopped at Fang Wenshuo, his dark pupils occasionally splashed out, and in an instant they sank like an abyss, so dark that they couldn't see the end, making people frightened.
"Fang Wenshuo, I told you at the beginning that the Ejiang Dam is related to the well-being of all people, and there can be no problems no matter what, how did you answer me?"
Fang Wenshuo's spine trembled, and he stiffly fell to the ground and replied, "The minister said......
As long as the Ejiang Dam can stand, even if it is watered with its own flesh and blood, there will be no complaints. ” "Well, you still remember, since that's the case, it's not too late to die now."
Chu Xiang's eyes became cold, and when he gave an order, there was no emperor's grace to speak of, "Come on, escort him to the prison of the Criminal Department, and wait for disposal!"
” As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked, Pei Zhao was about to intercede for Fang Wenshuo, but was quietly stopped by his own father.
The hall was silent for a while, and no one helped Fang Wenshuo say a word, including his immediate boss Li Rui, and he himself didn't make any moves, so he was dragged out by the forbidden army who heard the sound, his face was pale and his expression was sluggish, as if he had lost his soul.
The atmosphere became even more oppressive.
Pei Yuanshu cleared his throat, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the minister made a simple integration of the current situation in Youzhou before he came, please take a look." ” In the end, it was an old minister of the Three Dynasties, and his style of action was much more thoughtful and steady than others, after Yue Lingxi held the things in front of Chu Xiang, his face improved significantly, and he only looked at it carefully for a moment, and then began to discuss the specific disaster relief plan with the people of various departments.
Due to the seriousness of the situation, the conversation was talked about in the early hours of the morning.
When leaving the Xuanqing Palace, several courtiers were solemn, and then returned to the ministries non-stop to issue the latest instructions, just to turn the tide before the disaster became more serious, not long after, the first batch of relief materials arrived at the Gyeonggi camp, escorted to Youzhou by the Xiao cavalry, and the Jingjun that was about to break suddenly sounded the sound of horses' hooves.
In the main hall, Chu Xiang leaned on the dragon chair and did not move for a long time, as if he was extremely tired.
Youzhou is rugged, surrounded by mountains, between the steep gorges and cliffs of the Ejiang River, there are eighteen Huilong bends downstream, now the three cities have fallen, if you can't block this menacing flood in front of the next bend, I'm afraid even Lin'an County will suffer, thinking of this, he is ready to study the city defense map of Lin'an County again, just straightened up, suddenly a burst of dizziness hit, he hurriedly held the desk and stabilized his figure.
Yue Lingxi, who was on the side, was also slightly startled when she saw this, and reached out to help him, but she felt the unusual high temperature under the clothes, she didn't think about it, she stood on tiptoe and touched his forehead, and it was really hot.
"Your Majesty, you have a fever."
Yue Lingxi frowned, turned his head and asked Shu Ning to ask the imperial doctor, and ran next door to get a soft silk scarf, and put the broken ice cubes into it little by little, Chu Xiang watched her jump back and forth, and when she passed by, she suddenly raised her hand and dragged her into her arms, she was caught off guard, but without the slightest panic, she put the ice pack in her hand on his forehead after adjusting her sitting posture.
He didn't speak, she kept holding it up.
"I'm fine."
Chu Xiang took out the ice pack and threw it aside, and then put her frozen white hands into her palms and rubbed them, she couldn't break free, so she had to persuade in a soft voice: "Your Majesty hasn't slept all night, can you go back to bed and lie down for a while?"
When the doctor comes to see me, I will boil the medicine and then ask you to get up and drink it. ” He stood still, stared at her for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Did you scare you just now?"

” Although he often summoned courtiers in front of her, he had never spoken so harshly.
Yue Lingxi heard that his voice was a little hoarse, and he just wanted him to go and rest quickly, so he rolled out a series of words like a cannon: "What Your Majesty said is when you deal with Lord Fang?"
If I guessed correctly, His Majesty punished him without saying a word, not because of his lack of kindness, but to protect his life, and if so, what is there to be afraid of?
” Chu Xiang's body shook slightly, and he was speechless.
Fang Wenshuo is an honest and responsible person, who has presided over the construction of a number of water conservancy projects in the Ministry of Industry for six years, benefiting the Quartet and benefiting the country and the people, but he himself has never taken credit and has been unknown.
Now that the incident happened suddenly, before the root cause of the dam break was clarified, the tide of speech inside and outside the court was overwhelming, Chu Xiang didn't want to kill a diligent courtier, so he blocked the mouth of Youyou by imprisoning him, and was ready to wait for the disaster to be under control before deciding the matter, but he didn't expect to be seen by Yue Lingxi.
He knew that she was intelligent, but he didn't know that she could be so well versed in the tricks and tricks that he had never been involved in, or maybe it was just a tacit understanding between them.
Chu Xiang looked at Yue Lingxi, who looked calm, and couldn't help but lift his lips and chuckle, his tone was as helpless and doting as ever: "Xuanqing Palace, you are the smartest." ” Yue Lingxi shook his head and said, "Your Majesty is in a daze, with you, how can I be the smartest?"
” After all, her clear eyes were mixed with undisguised admiration, Chu Xiang looked quite comfortable, and with a long arm, he instantly rolled her into his arms.
"You little sycophant."
"I'm not flattering you, I'm just telling the facts."
Yue Lingxi retorted softly, but Chu Xiang didn't take it seriously, and hugged her tighter, enjoying the extremely soft touch of her delicate body.
