Chapter 248 The Sick and Vicious Soldier and His Iron-Blooded and Cold-Faced General 27
In the end, the fifth prince was helpless with his love-sick brain and could only turn around and continue to sleep.
When he woke up the next morning, the people around him reported to him that there was chaos in front of the Third Prince's bedroom, with people coming in and out, and none of the imperial physicians who left the bedroom could relax their frowns.
People outside only said that the Third Prince's bed collapsed while he was sleeping last night, but judging from the rapid footsteps of the imperial physician who saw that he had a frown on his face in his bedroom, this was definitely not a simple bed incident.
In the cool morning, a thin layer of sweat unconsciously seeped out of the Fifth Prince's forehead.
Could this also be caused by that guy Xiao Xiechuan?
While no one was paying attention, he secretly summoned the people around the Third Prince, and only after questioning did he find out the whole story.
The third prince was making love with someone on the bed, and just at the last moment the bed collapsed. It is said that when the bed collapsed, the third prince seemed to see a woman in white clothes with black hair covering her face, who said that he had killed her and wanted to kill him.
Then the third prince was so frightened that he fainted.
Finally, it was the woman with whom he had made love who cried out for help. The imperial physicians secretly treated him for most of the night, and it was not until dawn that the third prince opened his eyes. Only then did the imperial physicians breathe a sigh of relief.
But the third prince seemed to have sensed something was wrong. He lifted up his underwear in public and found that... it was a size smaller.
The Fifth Prince heard this:.........
He was 100% sure that everything that happened in the beginning was the work of Xiao Xiechuan, but the thing that happened in the end...it sounded like something Xiao Xiechuan couldn't do.
He waved his hand to let people leave and sat alone in the hall in a daze.
He felt it was a bit mysterious, especially after the general returned triumphantly to the capital.
The Fifth Prince didn't think any more and got up to take care of the affairs of the Blood Rain Temple.
Recently, the imperial court sent another batch of disaster relief supplies to the flood-stricken south.
Last time, more than half of the relief supplies were gone after passing through five cities. This time, he would send people to hijack them in advance.
........
When Ji Bai woke up, he saw 818 diligently and seriously massaging his legs and shoulders.
When it noticed that he had woken up, a guilty expression suddenly appeared on its face, and then it quickly withdrew its gaze from him, and began to massage his legs and back more seriously.
Ji Bai was silent for a moment, then said: [Xiao Xiechuan is here again? ]
818 didn't say anything, but immediately lowered his head even lower and sped up his hand movements.
Ji Bai: ........
【how come?】
818 replied with a serious look: [Dear host, the evil one jumped down from the roof. I tried my best but still failed to stop him. I am really sorry for this. At the same time, I also deeply understand that I must practice well in the future...]
Ji Bai guessed without blinking: [You got into my mind when you saw Xiao Xiechuan.]
He kept looking at the little ball in front of him, watching it lower its head guiltily, and remain silent, not daring to speak anymore.
Ji Bai got up and went to wash up. After a while, 818 flew to his side and said, "Boss, the pill that shrinks you has taken effect."
He nodded slightly, as if he was not surprised.
There is a small note next to the pills, but it is usually invisible unless you look carefully.
The pill only works after you do that.
The third prince had dark circles under his eyes and his eyes were yellow. Even though he was only twenty-four years old, he looked hollowed out.
He estimated that the pills would take three days to take effect, but it seems he overestimated him.
818: [Last night, Xiao Xiechuan ran to the Fifth Prince's bedroom and asked him to usurp the throne.]
Ji Bai paused slightly, then nodded slowly.
818 looked at the data board in front of him and analyzed: [The Fifth Prince may be the most suitable next emperor for Tianqi. He loves the people and cherishes talents. Perhaps... if he takes that position, he can still save the empty shell of Tianqi. ]
Ji Bai felt that according to Chu Xuan's thinking, things did not seem that simple.
Although he didn't want to see what happened last night, he still used his divine power to take a peek. After hearing his last words, his brows slightly frowned.
Sure enough, Chu Xuan was still that stubborn person.
818 looked at the boss, who had a calm expression but a different aura from usual. After hesitating for a while, he asked: [Boss, are you happy that the third prince's thing has become smaller? ]
Ji Bai:.........
He restrained his expression slightly, and just as he was about to walk out of the room, he almost bumped into Jiang's father who was coming towards him.
His eyes were bloodshot and his eye sockets were red. It was obvious that he had not slept the whole night.
The first time Jiang's father saw him, he said anxiously: "Your Majesty is suspicious of us!"
After saying that, he quickly covered his mouth again, tilted his head and looked around, and after making sure that there was no one around, he retracted his gaze and looked at the person in front of him again. He pursed his lips and said, "Daddy will protect you. When His Majesty wakes up, I will resign from my post and return home."
"But don't tell anyone else about this, let alone your grandmother."
Ji Bai glanced at the person hiding behind the tree and nodded slightly.
Father Jiang nodded with relief and said, "You go back and pack some things first. There's a letter from the court saying that His Majesty is feeling better and will be awake in less than two days. I'll take care of the rest."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Ji Bai stood there and watched Jiang's father's back as he left. He waited until he heard a slight sound before turning around and going back into the house.
[Boss, you can put some things in my space, and then when we return home, you can take them out when no one is paying attention.]
Ji Bai: [No need, you can’t leave.]
818: [Ah?]
Ji Bai did not explain it.
At noon, I heard Jiang's father eating lunch in the old lady's room.
818 had an ominous premonition in his heart.
Sure enough, in the afternoon, Jiang's father came back and said to the old man, "Xiao Ci, I think we can delay our return home. After all, His Majesty is not feeling well now, and our country needs us very much."
The boss beside him still looked calm, but his expression was clearly visible on his face, and he was already as angry as a puffer fish.
After Jiang's father left, 818 said angrily: [He has worked in the court for so long, doesn't he know the emperor's temper at all? He also grew up in the capital, right? How can he be so stupid! ]
Ji Bai kneaded it with his hands, his expression indifferent and he didn't say a word.
818 felt comfortable after being rubbed, and his anger subsided. He rubbed his palm and said: [Forget it, at worst I won’t save them.]
Ji Bai paused for a moment, and then said, "I won't give you any candy for the time being."
