Chapter 279 Surprise
As instructed, A Jin threw the sleeping Zhen Huan onto the bed without mercy and roughly took off her heavy outer robe.
When he was about to go out and report, he hesitated for a moment, but still put the person on the bed in the proper position with the front facing up.
Over the past few years, the master has endured humiliation for the sake of his great cause, and now he has to pick up...
Nonsence!
The more Ah Jin thought about it, the more he felt sorry for his master Feng Guangjiuyue. In anger, he tore off the brocade quilt covering the man and took away the charcoal brazier that was burning brightly in the corner.
"Master, you are weak. I will add a pot of charcoal fire for you."
Prince Guo, knowing where the charcoal fire came from, smiled weakly.
"Ah Jin, I'm too weak and I made you worry."
A Jin disapproved and advised.
"Master, you are so precious, how can you lie in the snow to cool down the person inside? If the Concubine Dowager knew that you don't take care of your body, I wonder how upset she would be."
"Ah Jin, she is the legitimate daughter that Minister Zhen has raised with all his heart and soul. How can I make her fall in love with me without using some cruel tricks?"
Prince Guo whispered to comfort him.
"As long as you don't tell me, how will my mother know what I did?"
"Ah Jin, I have always regarded you as a brother, so please don't say anything too much in front of my mother."
"Master, I won't say too much. I just ask you to take care of yourself more in the future."
A Jin brought the bowl of warm medicine to his master's mouth and gave him caring instructions.
Many years ago, he fell ill with a strange disease that was incurable, so his family abandoned him in a dilapidated temple to die.
It was this opportunity that allowed him to meet his master who had sneaked out of Changchun Garden.
Back then, the master brought the medicine bowl to his mouth in the same way, and A Jin, after drinking the medicine, swore an oath from then on.
If I am lucky enough to survive, I must repay my master for saving my life.
He has been doing this for years.
The master's virtue and ability are both top-notch, but it's a pity that he was born a few years later than the emperor.
Otherwise, given the late emperor's love for his master, it is hard to say who will become the emperor.
Concubine Shu would not be forced to practice in seclusion in Anqi Temple on the back mountain of Ganlu Temple.
Prince Guo drank the medicine in one gulp and responded with a smile.
"Okay, okay, I listen to you."
"Ah Jin, I have always regarded you as my brother. Please think about what my mother said."
When the emperor mentioned his marriage, he inevitably thought of A Jin, who had never married.
"I don't marry a wife or concubines for my own safety. You are free from constraints, so it's better to get married as soon as possible."
"Mother once told me that if reality hadn't allowed it, she would have adopted you as her adopted son."
Deeply moved, Ah Jin immediately knelt on the ground and said, "I thank you and the Concubine Dowager for your kindness, but my master, your great cause has not yet been accomplished, and I dare not be distracted in the slightest."
His life was saved by his master. Although A Jin didn't understand any profound principles, he knew the importance of repaying a favor.
"You...cough cough cough..."
Ah Jin stepped forward and gently patted Prince Guo on the back, "Master, you have been working hard for most of the day, you should rest early."
"Ah Jin, please give me a hand."
Prince Guo has always been well taken care of by A Jin, and this is the first time he is so seriously ill.
As the saying goes, illness is like a mountain falling. He didn't even have the strength to get up.
"Ah Jin, take out all the brocade quilts from the study and the side hall. Also, don't let the maids come near the yard for the next few days."
After Zhen Huan was hurt by the emperor, she became very sensitive to the slightest disturbance.
"Also, tell her personal maid Bai Zhi not to show up in public. If she doesn't listen to your advice, then do as you say."
"Master, I understand."
Anyone who gets in the way of the master will not see the sun the next day. After learning martial arts from Master Wu, A Jin has dealt with such things many times.
The thin soft sword cut across the throat cleanly and neatly without making any sound.
Ah Jin licked his tongue towards the courtyard where the emperor lived, wondering if cutting his throat would be any different.
Unfortunately, as soon as he showed some of his thoughts, he was severely reprimanded by his master.
After helping Prince Guo lie down, A Jin tucked in the quilt for him and asked in a low voice.
"Master, would you like to move that person into your quilt?"
"You can leave first. I have my own arrangements."
Prince Guo moved to the outside of the bed and motioned him to go out.
When he was about two fists away from the bed, Prince Guo slowly closed his eyes.
The heat from the ground dragon is not enough, and Zhen Huan will definitely come over automatically to get warmth, so he doesn't need to worry about it at all.
If the medicine is too strong, he will cover himself with a blanket when he wakes up.
Fatigue overwhelmed him and Prince Guo succumbed to sleepiness.
When he noticed movement beside him in his sleep, he wrapped himself in the quilt tightly.
At the end of the Yin hour, the emperor, who had a good night's sleep, opened his eyes. He glanced at Shen Meizhuang who was sleeping soundly and stepped over her.
"Su Peisheng, quickly have someone help me wash up."
It’s better to be outside the palace. It’s more comfortable to sleep.
The emperor began to wonder whether it would be feasible to move into the garden and live there permanently.
Not only is there a new scene every ten steps, it is also warmer than the palace.
Su Peisheng personally brought in the copper basin and asked in a low voice.
"Your Majesty, the kitchenette has prepared breakfast. Would you like some?"
The emperor, who was being helped to wipe his face, waved his hand.
"I intend to invite my seventeenth brother to dine with me."
"He used to like to sleep in, so I went to wake him up myself."
Su Peisheng smiled when he heard this. Prince Guo was a sensible man. No wonder the emperor loved him so much.
"Your Majesty, the kitchen has prepared the cakes that Prince Guo likes. I'd like to have breakfast delivered to his courtyard. Is that alright?"
"It's up to you."
"When we go out later, take fewer people with you. I want to give my Seventeenth Brother a surprise."
The emperor gave the order with a smile.
This cool terrace is indeed a great place. After staying here for a night, he was reluctant to leave.
Last night he dreamed that the hot-tempered Huan'er softened her stance and came to Qingliangtai to admit her mistakes.
The two who had not seen each other for a long time talked about poetry and songs, and also discussed Longyue's upbringing, as if the previous disputes had never existed.
When the emperor went out and saw the snow-covered hills in the distance, his steps became lighter.
If the road is blocked, he can stay for another day.
If Huan'er could come, the trip would be worthwhile.
The guards standing outside the courtyard saw the whisk draped over the eunuch in red from afar and guessed the identity of the visitor.
The emperor only brought Su Peisheng with him on the trip, so he certainly didn't want to make too much noise.
One of them quickly ran in to report the news.
At this time, Zhen Huan in the bedroom opened her eyes in a daze, and when she felt the heat coming from behind her, she suddenly woke up.
Yesterday I clearly made up my mind to draw a clear line between myself and Yunli, but how come now I am sleeping on the same bed with him?
What a mess! What a mess!
Everything is messed up!
Zhen Huan was just about to gently pull out of the hot embrace when a familiar voice from outside made her blood freeze.
"Seventeenth brother, why haven't you stood up yet?"
"I brought your favorite breakfast."
As the footsteps approached, Zhen Huan was completely stunned.
