In his dazed state, Nineteen heard His Majesty's voice and was terrified, but his body was so weak that he knew he couldn't escape no matter what.
Hearing the approaching footsteps,
He quickly tucked his head under the quilt.
He Jinran: Nineteen is exceptionally intelligent, let's do it this way!
He Lin was shocked by Jin'er's appearance.
He wondered if Jin'er was afraid he would ask her about the exam papers because of the palace examination.
"Your Highness, your father has come to see you." Qin Hui stepped forward and tugged at the corner of the blanket, but couldn't pull it off no matter what she did.
Little did they know, the hands of the nineteenth child inside the quilt were trembling.
His head was throbbing, and his forehead was burning hot.
His injuries are serious, his infection is not healing, and he was submerged in water last night, so he could faint at any time.
Upon seeing this, He Jinran gestured to Xuanming Xuanying with his eyes, signaling him to immediately go to see His Majesty.
Without hesitation, the two went around to the front of the hall.
"Jin'er." He Lin tugged at her back, but couldn't budge her. "Jin'er must be sick."
He Lin, worried, spoke in a deep voice to his personal attendant,
"Quickly, fetch the imperial physician!"
The eunuch acknowledged and respectfully departed.
He Lin, on the other hand, sat upright on He Jinran's bed.
"Jin'er, don't be afraid. Your father has read your exam paper, and it's not bad."
In the analysis of the power dynamics between the three kingdoms, he presented opposing viewpoints on the exam papers from the two days before and after, and he did so with great clarity and eloquence.
Partial generalization,
Analyze rights thoroughly and deeply, without being overly suspicious or using power to intimidate others. Avoid superficial understanding or taking things out of context, or making sweeping generalizations.
Overall and partial
It maintains national order and stability. However, its drawback is that it can be short-sighted, failing to see the bigger picture.
Finally, He Jinran concluded that the reason for choosing to generalize was mainly due to a lack of ability.
After reading it, He Lin was very satisfied with Jin'er's analysis.
He Jinran tiptoed behind,
Hearing His Majesty's words, I felt a brief moment of joy, but then I was plunged into sorrow again.
Nineteen, you must hold on tight and make sure His Majesty doesn't find out.
"Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince has unfortunately contracted an illness, and we fear he may infect Your Majesty." Just then, Xuanming's sudden words brought a great sense of relief to the nineteenth prince, who was still under the covers.
"What illness?" He Lin asked worriedly.
I still wanted to pull back the corner of the blanket to find out what was going on.
Xuan Ying clasped his hands in a fist salute. “Your Majesty, His Highness’s face and body are covered with red rashes, which seem to be smallpox. I’m afraid it might infect Your Majesty.”
Upon hearing this, Qin Hui quickly stepped back a little.
At this moment, all she wanted was to escape the Eastern Palace.
"Smallpox?" A chill ran down He Lin's spine. "How could this be?"
"Your Majesty, please let His Highness rest properly," Xuan Ying said again.
He Lin: "I will stay with him."
"No," Nineteen unconsciously uttered, immediately closing her lips tightly.
Because his voice was too nasal, His Majesty did not notice and only said:
"Jin'er has caught a cold."
No matter what he said, he refused to leave and just sat quietly by the bedside.
Xuanming and Xuanying were completely helpless.
Finally, Qin Hui said...
"Your Majesty, please come later. Let His Highness rest well." In fact, she was afraid that she would catch the infection and could not stay any longer.
"His Highness the Crown Prince is important, but Your Majesty, you are the ruler of the country, and your health is of utmost importance."
"Your Majesty, please step down." He Lin was well aware of Qin Hui's thoughts.
However, he was more worried about Jin'er.
Feeling bitter, He Jinran couldn't sleep in his bed and could only hide alone in a dark corner of the East Palace, anxious and uneasy.
…………
After Qiu Yan returned home, she first escorted her aunt back to her courtyard.
Qiu Yumei had been in a bad mood all day because of what happened with Qin Man and the other woman.
Qiu Yan's attempts to comfort her were in vain. She knew her aunt was worried about her and just thought that her aunt's mood would definitely improve once things stabilized.
Her aunt treated her with the same care and concern as a mother.
At this moment, Gu Qian and Qiu Xu were walking out of the training ground.
The two exchanged blows, both slightly out of breath.
"Senior brother, I'll go in your place. My sister is pregnant and needs your company." This wasn't the first time Qiu Xu had asked Gu Qian for help.
He thought that if he went, his brother-in-law might be able to return home sooner.
"No." Gu Qian shook his head.
“Ah Xu, if you were a seasoned veteran, your senior brother would agree without hesitation. But you have never been to the battlefield. Although you are skilled in martial arts, you lack experience.”
"Then I'll go with my senior brother," Qiu Xu continued to request.
“I’m at ease if you stay home.” Gu Qian still refused. “You said it yourself, your sister needs company.”
"What my sister needs is her senior brother's company." Qiu Xu thought of his sister, and then of his second aunt, and felt a pang of sadness.
My second uncle went even further; he stayed away for a full ten months while my second aunt was pregnant.
Gu Qian forced himself to suppress the bitterness in his heart.
"I'll be back very soon."
Gu Qian's attitude was firm, and Qiu Xu's further words were of no use.
"Senior brother, can't we wait until the results are released before we leave?"
"You said it yourself, that you want your senior brother to go home as soon as possible." Since Gu Qian had decided to leave, he didn't want to wait a moment longer.
A familiar feeling washed over him from behind. Gu Qian turned around and saw Yan Yan standing behind him.
"Sister, you two chat."
Qiu Xu saw his sister, left the two of them alone, said goodbye, and left.
"Yan Yan, where is your aunt?" Gu Qian asked gently.
"My aunt went back to her courtyard." Qiu Yan paused for a moment.
"Are you ready?" She had been mentally preparing herself for the past two days.
"We'll set off early tomorrow morning," Gu Qian said, taking Qiu Yan's hand in his. "Yan Yan, I won't keep you waiting too long."
"Mmm." Qiu Yan forced a smile.
"You're saying I'll leave early tomorrow morning? I don't know you'll be leaving quietly in the middle of the night."
She knew that Gu Qian disliked separation the most.
She didn't like it either.
"It's quiet at night," Gu Qian replied with a smile, "and it won't disturb my family."
He was glad that his aunt and uncle had come to keep Yan Yan company.
"You're afraid I'll escort you, aren't you?" If she weren't pregnant, Qiu Yan would definitely have gone with her. "Huyan Xun is skilled in mounted combat; the horses of the Central Plains are no match for them. Gu Qian, you need to be extra careful."
"I know." Gu Qian gently hugged Qiu Yan's upper body, then pulled her into his arms.
"Yan Yan, after I leave, try not to go out. No, don't go out. Ling'er and your uncle can handle the business matters, so don't worry about them. Just stay home and take good care of yourself during your pregnancy. Don't worry about me either; the Northern Barbarians are no match for me."
"Mmm." Qiu Yan responded to Gu Qian's hug, and the next moment, her whole body was lifted up horizontally.
"You must be tired after walking for so long."
Caught off guard, Qiu Yan immediately rested her head on Gu Qian's shoulder: "I'm not tired."
Gu Qian smiled faintly, simply holding Qiu Yan's body tightly as they moved to the main courtyard bedroom.
Once they reached the bed, he casually closed the door before letting her sit on the edge of the bed and personally removing her shoes and socks.
