MTL - Dianxia Qingcheng-Chapter 204 Rumors abound
The sky is bright.
Qi Changyi woke up, touched the seat next to the quilt, it was cold and empty.
It seems that those last night were really just a dream.
Li Yu pushed open the door and came in, seeing that Qi Changyi had already sat up from the bed, his face looked much better than yesterday.
Just now, he was surprised when he saw that the lord had just walked out of the back garden. For such a long time, he had never seen the lord in the manor during the day.
But the lord told him not to tell His Highness what happened yesterday. Although Li Yu didn't know why, he still answered honestly.
"Little Yuzi," Qi Changyi touched his stomach, "I'm hungry"
Li Yu responded quickly, "Hey, Your Highness, wait a moment, I'll have people go down to eat immediately, make more, you can eat whatever you want!"
It was hard to hear His Highness shouting that he was hungry, and after a while, the table in the small building was filled with all kinds of food, all of which Qi Changyi liked to eat.
I slept well last night. I didn't have any more nightmares, but had a sweet dream. In my dream, I was embraced by a warm embrace. Someone patted his back lightly to tell him not to be afraid. Qi Changyi smelled that. The faint smell of sandalwood made me sleep very sweetly, and my spirit recovered a lot.
After he was full, Qi Changyi changed his clothes back, but Pei Zheng's robe was not returned, but was neatly folded by him and carefully placed beside the pillow.
It must be because he wore Brother Pei's clothes last night, and it smelled of him, so he dreamed of him. Qi Changyi planned to sleep in that robe every night in the future.
After two more days, Qi Changyi really didn't have nightmares anymore, and he ate and slept obediently every day.
In his spare time, he would also read some medical books, and then got into the pharmacy of the Prime Minister's Mansion to study medicines.
This pharmacy was the place where Shen Huan and his little disciple often stayed when they came to live in the mansion, but now, only Qi Changyi is left to stay in it.
Seeing that His Highness was busy preparing various medicines all day, Li Yu was worried that he was exhausted, while secretly happy for His Highness. At the very least, if he could keep himself busy, he would have less time to sit and be in a daze.
And Jiang Yubai and Chengfeng haven't come back. If anyone in the house has some minor problems, Qi Changyi will take the initiative to treat them. Although his medical skills are not as good as Master's, he is still much better than the ordinary man. , Often he prescribes a prescription and takes it two or three times to heal.
On this day, Qi Changyi finished the diagnosis and treatment of a little maid in the house who was always coughing, and the little maid was thankful and grateful.
These servants of the mansion are sincerely sincere, but most of them are out of fear of their own adults. With Qi Changyi, a simple, kind and caring master who cares about them, they are flattered and wish that Qi Changyi was their prime minister. The real owner is just fine.
The little servant who went to get the medicine for the little girl came back from the street, and when he entered the door, he was puffed up and went straight into the small building with the medicine bag in his hand.
Qi Changyi took the medicine bag and opened it for inspection, and made sure that every medicine was correct, so he let the little servant take it and fry it with confidence, but when the little servant looked up, he saw a wound on his face. .
"What's wrong with your face, come and let me see."
The little servant walked over reluctantly, and Qi Changyi looked at his wound and felt distressed, "Whether it hurts, I'll give you some medicine."
"His Royal Highness, I don't feel pain, it's really, they are too deceiving!" The little servant looked angry, "They, they dared to spread His Highness's rumors outside, if I hadn't heard the truth, They still don't admit it! I, I fought with them, but rest assured, Your Highness, I did not reveal that I am from the Prime Minister's Mansion, otherwise I will definitely be punished if it spreads to the ears of the adults."
Li Yu asked, "What rumors are spreading outside?"
The little servant secretly raised his eyes and glanced at Qi Changyi's bulging belly, then raised his head, and saw that he was smiling softly at him with his eyebrows curved.
"They said that His Royal Highness of the Prime Minister's Mansion has a warm relationship with the Prime Minister, but now he is still pregnant, and a man is pregnant with a child, for sure, yes
a freak"
While talking, the little servant thought to himself, His Highness is so good-looking, the baby he is carrying must be very good-looking, it can't be a freak.
The smile on Qi Changyi's face slowly disappeared, he lowered his eyes slightly, and touched his stomach with his fingers under his cuffs.
"What nonsense are they talking about! What do they know! Our Highness is able to conceive a baby because we are favored by God. They are a group of countrymen who dare to chew the tongue of the Prime Minister's Mansion behind their backs!"
Li Yu was obviously annoyed, "Tell me, who said those words! I'll send someone to beat them right away. It's really impossible to pull out their tongues. I see who dares to say it!"
The little servant hesitated, but did not say anything.
Li Yu said anxiously, "You said it, don't worry, no matter who it is, the Prime Minister's Mansion will not be afraid of him!"
"It's not a few people, it's a lot of people, a lot of people," the little servant said with his head drooping and his eyes closed, "It's people from the entire imperial city,
It's all said and rumours have spread all over the place."
Li Yu grabbed the little servant by the collar angrily, her eyes were a little red, "Then find who spread the rumors! Find him, and bring him to the prime minister's mansion, I don't believe the adults can be lighthearted. he!"
A small hand tugged on Li Yu's sleeve, Qi Changyi's voice was very soft, "Little Yuzi, forget it."
"His Royal Highness!" Li Yu said, "If your lord knows about this, he will do the same, find the person who dares to spread rumors, punish him severely first, and let the whole imperial city see, who dares to dare That's what's going on behind the scenes."
"Little Yuzi, I'll let it go." Qi Changyi smiled lightly, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, "I'm fine, really. It doesn't matter if they don't accept me or don't like me, I'll be fine with you. Now, with you guys accompanying me and caring about me, I'm very happy and very happy."
"But" Li Yu wanted to say something else, but seeing His Highness's forced smile, he swallowed the words on his lips.
It is clear that His Highness is the most aggrieved and saddened person, but now His Highness has to comfort them in turn.
However, His Highness's ability to hide his emotions was not good at all, and all the sadness and sorrow came out of those talking eyes.
The Prime Minister's Mansion did not pursue this matter, and the people of the Imperial City did not spend too much time on this matter, because there were more serious problems before the entire city.
It is said that the army of the barbarians is about to attack the foot of the imperial capital, and everyone is in a state of panic.
A small number of people have already evacuated from the Imperial Capital City, and evacuated to a few temporarily safe cities in the north of the Imperial Capital City, but if all the capitals of a dynasty were captured, it would be meaningless to flee to the ends of the earth. It is only a matter of time before the dynasty changes.
Most of the people of the Imperial City have not left. They have deep feelings for this prosperous capital for a hundred years. This is not only a symbol of a strong country, but also a belief that each of them depends on for survival.
The fierce barbarians have their own beliefs, they believe in the gods on the steppe desert.
Celestial people also have their own beliefs, they believe in their own country.
At the time of the new emperor's enthronement ceremony, even in such a critical moment, the strict etiquette that should be there cannot be lacked.
This is not only the demeanor of a great country that has stood for a hundred years, but also a reassurance and a coagulation agent for Baixin and the army of the Celestial Dynasty.
The grand ceremony is held in the palace, the whole world celebrates together, and all the people share joy.
The gate of the palace opened wide, and the whole city was invited to enter the palace to celebrate.
No matter who has status or no status, whether it is a rich or powerful family or a poor child from a poor family, whether men, women, young or old, widowed or lonely, as long as you want, you can enter the palace gate and participate in the feast.
This night, the whole city was in a festive atmosphere of joy. The anger and grievances that had been accumulated for a long time by the bleak and gloomy clouds of the war were released together tonight.
The streets that were getting colder and colder are now full of bustling people. No matter whether you know them or not, they will laugh and say congratulations when they see them. The shops that were originally closed are now lit up again.
It seems that there is only the Prime Minister's mansion, and he did not participate in this grand event, and the mansion is still quiet.
When Li Yu ran into the small building, Qi Changyi was still sitting obediently under the candlestick reading medical books.
He said that he also wants to be a doctor like Master, who can help those who are suffering from illness, so now he needs to read medical books well to become as powerful as Master.
"Your Highness! Your Highness!"
Li Yu panted and said, "I know why it's so lively outside, it is said that the new emperor has just held the enthronement ceremony today, and he will entertain the whole city at the palace tonight. If you go to participate, maybe, you will be honored by Your Highness.”
Qi Changyi's eyes lit up when he heard this, he put down the medical book in his hand, looked at Li Yu with some anticipation and asked, "Little Yuzi, are you saying that Brother Pei will also come with me? I haven't seen each other for several days. When it comes to him, is he busy with this matter?"
"Definitely yes, Your Highness. In the past, when you and your lord were not so good, your lord would accompany you to any banquet in the palace. Today is such an important and unprecedented grand banquet, there is no reason to leave you alone at home. what."
"Then, should I change my clothes first, and then comb my hair, Xiao Yuzi, look at my hair is messy?"
Li Yu looked at Qi Changyi's hurried look and couldn't help laughing, "Your Highness, it seems that you don't know enough about yourself. Even if you put on a sack, you will look better than those people."
"But, I can't go in a sack either."
Qi Changyi pouted, he couldn't embarrass Brother Pei.
Li Yu quickly explained, "His Royal Highness, I didn't mean to really let you wear a sack"
Several servants came to re-dress Qi Changyi, and the small face against the background was even more charming and lovely. He was also wearing a cloak outside, and some of his bulging belly could be well covered from outside. Can't see the slightest bit.
After changing his clothes, Qi Changyi waited in the small building, waiting for Pei Zheng to come back and bring him into the palace with him.
The carriage really returned to the mansion, and stopped at the gate of the mansion to wait. Pei Zheng wore an official robe and strode into the mansion.
Going straight back to the room and changing his clothes, Pei Zheng opened the door, but saw a small figure standing in front of the door.
When Qi Changyi saw Pei Zheng, his eyes were full of joy and longing.
"Brother Pei, you're back."
Pei Zheng responded, "Why are you standing here, waiting for me?"
Qi Changyi nodded, "Brother Pei, are you still leaving?"
"Well, there is something in the palace."
Pei Zheng stepped out, "It's getting late, you have to go to bed earlier and don't stay up late."
He didn't look back when he spoke, so he didn't see that those eyes that were originally shining gradually dimmed.
At the door, before turning to the carriage, Pei Zheng turned around and glanced at his little man who was standing by the door obediently saying goodbye.
He just stood there so quietly, staring at himself firmly, what was hidden in it was reluctance, but he didn't speak or hold back.
Pei Zheng walked back to the door again and stood under the steps, just so he could look at the little man.
"There are many people in the palace tonight. I'm afraid I won't have the energy to take care of you. Besides, your body is heavy." Pei Zheng reached under the cloak and gently supported his belly, "So, stay at home obediently, Wait for me to come back, okay?"
Qi Changyi's eyes slowly became wet, not because he was sad and sad that he couldn't enter the palace together, but because of Pei Zheng's gentle eyes and tone, he hadn't seen it for a long time.
"Okay, Brother Pei, I will stay at home obediently." Qi Changyi's voice was a little choked, but he tried his best to hold back his tears
drop down.
Li Yu, who was on the side, saw that His Highness was about to cry, and suddenly wanted to tell the adults all of His Highness's forbearance and grievances.
"My lord, do you know, Your Highness?"
Without saying a word, Qi Changyi pulled Li Yu's sleeve and motioned him to stop talking.
"Brother Pei, I'm fine, go ahead, there must be a lot of people waiting for you in the palace, don't delay things."
Qi Changyi sniffed, "I won't bother you anymore, I'll be good."
Pei Zheng gave him a deep look, then turned around and got into the carriage.
The carriage left far away and disappeared from sight.
Qi Changyi covered his eyes, stood quietly for a while, and then went back to the small building.
After lighting a candlestick again, Qi Changyi took another medical book and sat there watching it, but he couldn't read it any more.
He also wanted to go out and see, and wanted to participate in it.
But Brother Pei told him to stay at home, so he stayed at home obediently and didn't go anywhere.
It's just that Bai changed his clothes and combed his beautiful hair.
On this day of celebration in the city, he was alone and no one was watching.
