Chapter 119: Beili Wolf King x Central Plains Prince 55
That group of old ministers were so desperate to keep him that they even skipped the coronation ceremony. Qian Zhou didn't even know that he was already the emperor.
Qian Zhou was really not used to so many people kneeling to him.
He just felt his scalp tingling. There were so many people in front of him that their heads were almost buried in the ground. No one dared to look at him.
"No need to be polite."
After Qian Zhou finished speaking, the eunuch shouted anxiously: "No need to be polite——!"
Afraid that others didn't know that he was the first eunuch to deliver a message to the new emperor, he almost knelt down to serve as a human stool for Qian Zhou.
It was only when Qian Zhou came to the imperial kitchen that he understood what delicacies from land and sea, a full Manchu-Han banquet, and food for the emperor were!
Xiao Jintian forced him to drink porridge for three days.
He is guilty.
Qian Zhou blamed Xiao Jintian in his heart. He ate in the imperial kitchen until noon and his stomach was full.
Drinking too much porridge will lead to a huge increase in appetite. Since he couldn't eat what he wanted, Qianzhou retaliated by eating too much.
The sedan chair landed, Qian Zhou stood up and faced Xiao Jintian.
“…” Qianzhou stared at him.
Xiao Jintian leaned against the pillar, "Where did you go?"
As soon as he got closer, he could smell the rich aroma of broth on Qianzhou, the fragrance of double chili oil, and a hint of fermented fruit wine.
"Yo, I went to have a big meal."
Yan Hu rushed over from the other side, and the generals beside him were sweating at the tense atmosphere.
I was worried about Xiao Jintian.
"...How about we tell the king about that?" a general asked in a low voice.
Yan Hu said: "The king's current attitude is very dangerous..."
He might be kicked out of the house by His Highness. The king had indeed wronged His Highness in the past. Not only had he stepped on him, he had also let Yuan Hao injure him with an arrow. All these attacks took His Highness half a year to recover a little.
Yan Hu said: "Your Highness is injured again. It must be uncomfortable for the king to speak now."
"It will be even harder to talk about it later." The general insisted, "Let's talk about it after we return to Beili."
On the other side, Xiao Jintian grabbed Qianzhou's wrist and asked, "Say it again?"
Yan Hu and the other generals gasped, "!"
"I said it's none of your business what I want to eat. I drink porridge every day. If you like it, drink it yourself." Qian Zhou said coldly.
Xiao Jintian frowned, "The knife wound is in the abdomen, it will take a long time to recover. You are so willful and take advantage of your physical condition. What will happen if you develop a chronic disease in the future?"
Qian Zhou was scolded, so he went back to his room, covered himself with the quilt and didn't say anything.
The generals gathered around him, "That..."
"Ahem... Your Majesty, please don't say that about Your Highness."
"I advise you... to be gentle with His Highness."
Xiao Jintian had long disliked them, "What's wrong with each of you?"
Yan Hu's expression was eager, "We are doing this for your and His Highness's future!"
"He and I will have a good future. You don't need to tell me." Xiao Jintian waved his hand, "If you have nothing to do, just get out of here."
I won't be able to return to Beili for the New Year this year. No matter how big the events are in the palace, the customs will not change.
Red lanterns were hung throughout the palace, and reconstruction had begun on the burned areas.
Yuan Hao wrote a letter from Beili, saying that several small countries on the border of Beili withdrew their troops after hearing that the Central Plains had fallen.
The two border cities had been well prepared and the people were evacuated in time. Apart from some people being robbed, the rest of the losses were not great.
He wrote one page about official business, and the rest of the paper was about Lanzhi agreeing to go out with him, which took up five pages.
Xiao Jintian was not interested in watching.
He stuffed it back on the table and sat aside watching Qianzhou eat noodles. Then he became worried and asked Doctor Zheng to come and check on Qianzhou.
The old man felt Qian Zhou's pulse and said, "Your heart fire is too strong, which will affect your recovery."
After Doctor Zheng left, Xiao Jintian was silent for a long time, then went to the imperial kitchen to personally instruct:
"Make black chicken soup tonight. Don't make it too greasy, and stew the meat until it's tender. For the staple food, don't use porridge. Use white flour buns instead."
Xiao Jintian went back and hugged the person to comfort him, "Did you hear what the doctor said? Don't be angry. Tell me what you want to eat."
"I want to eat spicy chicken, the kind that's spicy and has lots of chili peppers." Qian Zhou said.
Xiao Jintian didn't know what spicy chicken was, but when he heard the word chili, he frowned and said, "No."
"That's out of the question." Qian Zhou pushed him away.
After a few rounds of quarrels, they had another unpleasant incident. Qian Zhou was injured and Xiao Jintian couldn't do anything about him.
Standing at the door with a dark face, he decided that he couldn't listen to Qian Zhou, otherwise how long would it take for his injury to heal?
Xiao Jintian wanted to deprive Qian Zhou of the right to order food that he had just given him, and replaced the white flour buns with soft porridge.
There was a sound of quarreling not far away. Yan Hu watched His Highness eat more than ten meals of white porridge in a row. The king even quarreled with His Highness about this matter.
"Don't stop me! I'm going to tell the king!!"
"let go!"
As soon as Xiao Jintian showed up, several generals failed to hold Yan Hu back, so Yan Hu rushed forward and shouted:
"Your Majesty, you hated the wrong person before! His Highness never ordered anyone to harm you!!"
"Those sixty lashes were ordered by Qian Lingxiao! That little eunuch confessed everything. Qian Lingxiao secretly pushed the blame onto Your Highness and immediately sent you back to Beili. Your Highness never knew about this!"
Xiao Jintian stood there, his fingers twitching, "It wasn't him from the beginning..."
The scar remained for a long time, and Xiao Jintian rarely thought about it later because he liked Qian Zhou so much and wanted to hold him in his hands.
Qianzhou has paid off all the bad past, and he has experienced the same pain again.
If it was really Qian Zhou who did it, Xiao Jintian didn't want to pursue it anymore.
But now, when he suddenly learned that this was really not done by Qian Zhou, Xiao Jintian's heart trembled violently, and all the things that had happened in the past immediately came to his mind.
The arrow wound in his shoulder became infected and he received no medical treatment all night.
He was left frozen for days without any charcoal, and was forced to fight him even though he had a fever.
He was ridiculed and mocked in the training ground, suffered heavy losses in two consecutive battles, and fell ill again after returning.
Yan Hu slapped his thigh vigorously, "Your Highness didn't do this at all!"
[Strategy Value +10]
[Current Strategy Value: 90]
Xiao Jintian clenched his palms, his fingertips turning white from the force, his heart was being squeezed hard, and the intense pain continued to attack his soul.
The sunlight was radiant, and Xiao Jintian's head was buzzing. One mistake after another piled up like a mountain, quickly collapsing and drowning in a short period of time. All the grievances that Qian Zhou had suffered came down upon him.
Xiao Jintian felt doubly heartbroken, as if his heart was about to break.
If Qian Zhou had not been the one to do these 60 lashes in the first place, then all the pain that those who were targeted by him would have suffered were all unprovoked disasters.
It's thanks to him.
Xiao Jintian lowered his eyes and buried his face in his palms.
"So I bullied him like this..."
There was a noise in the house. Qian Zhou had become visibly thinner. He walked out wearing a white undershirt, holding on to the wall.
The wound became inflamed yesterday, and Qianzhou still has a low fever and walks unsteadily.
He didn't know why the strategy value suddenly increased by 10 points, and he was a little worried, so he wanted to come out and take a look.
Before she even walked out of the palace gate, Xiao Jintian hugged her tightly.
"Xiao Jintian...what happened?"
