The empress has no harem, and the palace is very spacious. The Silver Armor Guards have a special training ground here.
Lou Yan and Song Junzhan went there together, picked out their own weapons, got ready, and started fighting without saying anything.
“Knock, knock, knock!”
Swords flashed and sparks flew.
After a while, the two separated. They both knew their limits and did not kill each other, so it was impossible for them to kill each other, but they had to fight to show their anger.
After two breaths, he attacked the opponent again.
The battle lasted for a full hour, until Song Junzhan was exhausted and the alcohol had completely dissipated.
Lou Yan calmly put away the knife: "Thank you."
Song Junzhan is good at literature, but his martial arts skills are not as good as Lou Yan, so losing is inevitable. It is already very good that he can hold out against Lou Yan for an hour.
Lou Yan was not very happy when he won, and he did not feel depressed when Song Junzhan lost.
They all knew that the outcome of this fight would not determine anything, it was just a way to vent their anger.
The real decision-making power has always been with the Empress.
So they were just venting and exchanging opinions, without any questioning, and they didn't even mention anything about being intimate with the empress.
After Song Junzhan calmed down, Lou Yan asked, "What does the Prime Minister plan to do with those two people tonight?"
Song Junzhan coughed lightly to ease the discomfort in his throat. "Lock them up and keep them under strict watch. We can't give them the chance to appear before the Empress again."
After that, he explained, "Your Majesty has no intention of going to war for the time being, so we can't kill them. Otherwise, it will give the two countries an excuse to go to war. But they are not that important, and Your Majesty doesn't care. So as long as they don't die, it's fine."
Lou Yan's eyes were cold and gloomy: "How can the Prime Minister guarantee that they will never appear before His Majesty again?"
Song Junzhan said frankly: "I can't guarantee it, but isn't there Lord Lou? You and I are destined to be enemies, but in this matter, our goals should be the same."
Lou Yan said nothing more and turned away.
Song Junzhan walked in another direction until he walked out of the martial arts arena, then slowly leaned against the wall.
Lou Yan didn't kill him, but he didn't let him off either. For a civil servant like him, this beating was really too much. He wasn't sure if he could attend court normally tomorrow.
However, he has been working tirelessly for more than two years and has never slacked off for a single day. I think Your Majesty will not blame him for taking a day off occasionally.
The next day, the prime minister failed to attend court, which instantly shocked the court.
The empress may not come to this court, but the prime minister cannot be absent for a single day.
Many people ran to the Prime Minister's Mansion to inquire, but before they could get in, only the housekeeper told them that the Prime Minister was not feeling well today and needed to rest.
The Prime Minister is unwell? Is this something unusual?
The Prime Minister has never been in good health. When we first met, he was holding a bowl of medicine every day. After the empress ascended the throne, things got better. Although he didn't have to drink it every day, he never stopped taking the medicinal food. Occasionally, when he caught a cold and coughed, he would insist on going on duty, rain or shine. Why did he feel unwell this time and had to lie down?
Is this some serious illness?
Seeing several officials coming to the empress to ask for help from the imperial physician, Lou Yan's face was so gloomy that it could drip water, and the officials were so scared that they left at a much faster pace.
In the end, the empress decided to show her concern for her subjects and personally took the imperial physician to see the prime minister.
Lou Yan subconsciously wanted to follow, but Xiao Li raised his hand to stop him: "You don't have to go."
Lou Yan's feet were fixed in place and he could only watch Xiao Li leave.
As I said, as long as the opponent is not dead, it is not considered a win.
But he just couldn't kill Song Junzhan!
Hongyue and Lanyue looked at each other and quickly covered their hands.
I want to laugh, but I can't laugh because I'm afraid of retaliation. This old man looks so scary~~~
Foxes never rely on force to win; wisdom and charm are synonymous with foxes.
Because Cen An could not wake up the empress, and could not bear the double pressure from his beloved girl and his good brother, he became isolated and traveled around the world.
The most important person in the Imperial Medical Bureau now is the old man Ning Chong. However, Xiao Li knew what was wrong with Song Junzhan, so he did not pull Ning Chong over. Instead, he found a young imperial physician who was personally taught by Cen An and took him over.
When the empress arrives, the Prime Minister's Mansion naturally has to open its doors to welcome her.
Manager Jiang was the chief steward of the Prime Minister's Mansion and he personally went to the door to greet him.
"I am here to welcome His Majesty on behalf of the Prime Minister."
A tall young man saluted beside him, smiling broadly, "Greetings, Your Majesty."
Xiao Li's eyes fell on him, and after a few glances, he called out uncertainly, "Zi Yue?"
It's no wonder that Xiao Li was surprised. This person was completely different from the previous Zi Yue. Before, Zi Yue was a teenager, but now he was just a child.
He has yellow hair, a thin body, a youthful face and some small spots on his face.
He used to be half a head shorter than Xiao Li, but now he is more than half a head taller than Xiao Li.
He has grown taller, but not as thin as a bamboo pole. Instead, he looks healthy and strong. His appearance has improved, and the small spots on his face are gone.
His facial features are very three-dimensional, with thick eyebrows and bright eyes. His skin is not white, but a light wheat color.
He is not stunningly handsome, but he is also a handsome young man.
Sunny, healthy, tall and handsome, this is the ceiling for high school students majoring in physical education.
Especially his big and bright eyes, which grinned when he looked at Xiao Li, so pure and innocent.
More like it!
Shopkeeper Jiang laughed and said, "Zi Yue just made a bet with me, saying that Your Majesty would not recognize him."
Xiao Li smiled and said, "I really didn't recognize him. Boys change a lot when they grow up. I wonder how many girls he will charm when he goes out now."
"You have saved enough money to marry a wife. If it's not enough, I can add to it for you."
Zi Yue blushed instantly after being teased: "Your Majesty, that was all in the past. I'm not in a hurry to get married now..."
"Hahaha......"
Xiao Li smiled brightly. No wonder adults like to talk about children's embarrassing moments. Because it is so fun to tease children.
Xiao Li's good mood continued from the moment he entered the door until he met Song Junzhan.
Song Junzhan got up from the bed, his face a little pale. When he saw Xiao Li coming, he smiled and was about to salute.
"His Majesty......"
Xiao Li supported him and asked, "Why are you getting up when you're not feeling well?"
Song Junzhan: "Your Majesty has arrived, and I am guilty of not being able to go to the door to greet you. How can I lie in bed and not move?"
Xiao Li looked at his bloodless lips and then at his expression. Although this was a fox's trick, the illness was real. "Alright, stop it."
"Zi Yue, come and help your young master onto the bed."
Zi Yue was so enthusiastic: "Yes, sir!"
Song Junzhan was unable to speak as he quickly brought the quilt back to the bed. As a boy of seventeen or eighteen, he had no idea how to be gentle.
Zi Yue: Your Majesty, your sister has given an order, and the mission must be accomplished.
Song Junzhan: ...He raised Ziyue in vain.
