The summer is so hot that people don't want to go out.Nan Ji stayed in the palace for half a month, drinking tea with Ye Xiaoqi every day, reading books, admiring flowers, chatting with poor mouths, and occasionally going to ask Her Majesty the Empress and a few fathers to say goodbye.Several royal husbands are busy with the transfer of power and begin to formally transfer their positions, when the third prince, the fourth prince, and the fifth prince are free, they often come over to exchange feelings with Nan Ji, and by the way, they learn martial arts with Ye Xiaoqi, but most of the time they are busy.For the crown prince's accession to the throne, almost everyone was too busy to touch the ground.The most laid-back people are Nan Ji and Ye Xiaoqi.The days went on so quietly.The three princes don't know if it's because they're suddenly busy, or because they have been banned by the emperor's eldest brother, they are all silent about the affairs of the East Palace, but the number of visits to the East Palace has been significantly less recently, or in other words, unless there is something important to ask the prince, they will stay away from the East Palace as much as possible.Jun Lingxiao seems to be nothing, he is still busy with government affairs in the days when he is approaching the throne, he can often be seen in the six ministries of the three provinces, and the officials need to ask for instructions, and they can also go to the study of the East Palace to ask to see the prince.It's just that the East Palace is much quieter than ever, and the palace people are acting more and more cautiously.At the end of July, the hottest summer is finally over, sitting in the pavilion in the middle of the lake, you can especially feel the wind blowing in all around with a trace of coolness, completely blowing away the heat of the hot summer.The surface of the lake is sparkling and the breeze blows, and the surface of the lake is covered with layers of ripples.In the past two days, when Jun Lingxiao was busy with government affairs, he would often come over and stay for a while, not doing anything, not saying a word, just sitting quietly for a while, feeling the wind blowing from all sides, and the coolness of the skin seemed to be able to slowly cool down all the restless emotions in his heart.Get some tranquility both emotionally and spiritually.There was a slight sound of footsteps in the distance, Jun Lingxiao looked at the lake calmly, his posture was indifferent, his body was half leaning on the railing, and he looked a little more lazy and comfortable.The footsteps approached, and a young man in a lake-blue ice silk light robe walked into the flower hall, and a cup of tea in his hand exuded the fragrance of tea."
Brother Huang."
Jun Lingxiao didn't look back, and his tone was light: "Who told you to get up?"
”Ling Fan's face still looked very pale, he had been seriously injured before, he woke up from time to time, and he lay on the bed for two or three days before he officially woke up, but those wounds recovered slowly, and even if he woke up, he couldn't get up, and he spent most of the time in bed for half a month.Can't get up, he sometimes lies on the side of the bed and flips through the book, the hall is too quiet, the palace people are not allowed to enter the hall, only when Feng leaves to change his dressing, the two can communicate simply.The content of the exchange is nothing more than "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has explained that he is not allowed to use painkillers for His Royal Highness, so I can only wronged you." ”Of course, Jun Lingfan didn't dare to disobey his imperial brother's intentions, so he didn't react much to Feng Li's words, only nodded lightly and said, "It's okay." ”You can't use painkillers, and you can only suffer from the pain yourself.Half a month has been as long as a few months."
I'm in good spirits today."
Jun Lingfan pursed his lips, "I'm about to get sick when I stay in the palace." ”I don't know if it's because of the weak state, or because of the fact that I have just been brutal once, or because of other reasons, Jun Lingfan's voice sounds a little weak, and I can't see a little bit of the previous arbitrariness.Jun Lingxiao tilted his head and glanced at his pale face expressionlessly, hurt for half a month, his already thin body became thinner and thinner, and the robe was even more loose and elegant."
Have you figured out what to explain to me?"
He said in an indifferent tone, "I still owe one hundred and ninety-six rattan canes, and you weigh your body yourself to see when you can pay it back." ”Jun Lingfan was silent, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.Explanation, definitely not.As for the amount owed by the cane, there are more than 190 more?
So, that day, I couldn't bear it after a hundred heads?
Is he too weak, or is the royal brother too ruthless?
In fact, if you want to say ruthless, it is really not ruthless.After all, compared to the means of the Xuanyin Palace, compared to going directly to the guillotine, the imperial brother is already very merciful.It was only at this time that he deeply felt that the number of three hundred, which could come out with a single move, could be transformed into an indefinite torment in an instant in the hands of the imperial brother, which was enough to make people feel cold all over the body.Jun Lingfan wasn't sure if he could bear the hundreds of punishments again, but he knew that even if he was punished a thousand more, he wouldn't be able to give him the explanation that the imperial brother wanted.There was silence in the flower hall for a long time.Jun Lingfan looked at the lake quietly, thinking of the injury he had been nursing for more than ten days, he couldn't help but be a little worried: "These days, has the mother asked about the situation here?"
”Jun Lingxiao's body moved slightly, and he slowly adjusted a more comfortable posture to lean against the railing, and after a while, he said, "Uncle Ji already knows your situation." ”Jun Lingfan raised his head in surprise, and then his eyes became a little uneasy: "Brother Huang?
”"If you move someone's son, shouldn't you report it?"
Jun Lingxiao turned his head to look at him, his eyes were faint, "Do you think I should hide it from everyone?"
”Jun Lingfan was speechless for a moment, and slowly shook his head: "No."
Brother Huang did the right thing. ”He should have let his father know.After all, the serious injury of the second prince can't be concealed if he wants to, and staying in the palace for more than half a month without seeing anyone will only arouse some suspicions that should not be there.Confession is the best way to go.It's just that.Jun Lingfan was silent for a moment: "What did the imperial brother tell his father?"
”"Tell the truth."
These four words fell and drilled into the eardrums, and the first thought that came to Jun Lingfan's mind was actually whether his father would guess the real reason for his murder of the crown princess?
What did the royal brother say with his father?
Did he, did he have any vague suspicions?
This thought flashed through his mind, Jun Lingfan's heart suddenly fell into an ice cellar, his fingertips began to feel cold, and his thin lips turned white, but he still couldn't resist the chill that hit his internal organs.What would the royal brother think of him?
Will you think he's rebellious?
Will you think he is disgusting, dirty, and filthy?
Jun Lingfan's face turned pale a little.It was so cold that the cold invaded his muscles and bones, everything around him was dark, his mind was blank, and he didn't even dare to raise his eyes to see the expression of the imperial brother.He was afraid to see the disdainful, contemptuous, disgusting look of a bed bug in those cold eyes.He was afraid to hear the words of questioning, and he was even more afraid of "cold?"
”Jun Lingxiao couldn't help but tremble when he saw someone standing there, his face was even more white without a trace of blood, and he couldn't help frowning, "I don't know how to wear more clothes when I come out?"
”
