Chapter 21
There was silence in the air for a while. Xie Ling was almost stiff from saluting. He thought that he had not offended Emperor Wu, so why was His Majesty like this?
Well, did you forget?
He secretly raised his head and looked at the emperor at the top, then winked in a hint.
Xiao Huan: ...
Forget it, it’s a headache, why bother with him? After waving his hand and calling him off, he turned to think about political affairs.
The Eagle Guards who had just left the capital an hour ago sent a message that the team that left with the Ministry of Revenue had indeed had problems. Just as the golden light above Xie Ling's head said, Wen Yi, who had followed the disaster relief officials out of the city, had indeed left the official team and acted alone, and the reason was exactly the same.
——Auspicious.
When the man heard the clerk beside him talking about the strange phenomenon in the neighboring village, he became interested. After leaving his deputy to guard the village, he turned around and went to the other side, ignoring the matter at hand.
When Xiao Huan heard the news, he was almost angry to death, but fortunately he had prepared a backup plan to remedy the situation so that no trouble would arise. Wen Yi had also been secretly captured by the Eagle Guards and was being escorted back to the capital.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Xie Ling again, feeling strange. If it weren't for Xie Ling's reminder, this disaster relief would not have been successful.
But just now, between Marquis Dingyi and him, this guy chose him.
Even if he is not the original Xie Ling, but during this period of time, he has been studying with Zheng Daru. Doesn't he know the importance of the Dagan family? Even Zheng Wanyun, a talented person, wasted fifty years because of his background. How can Xie Ling guarantee it?
The more I thought about it, the more doubts I had in my mind, but these questions could not be asked directly.
Xiao Huan had no choice but to look away in frustration.
Xie Ling was completely confused by the look on his face. Didn't His Majesty invite him to dinner? Why was His Majesty suddenly staring at him like that? Did he make a mistake in handing over the family letter? That shouldn't be the case.
Xie Ling couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, what have I done wrong recently?"
He meant something.
Xiao Huan snorted coldly, saying sarcastically: "What can you do wrong?"
It was not only correct, but absolutely correct. But it was too correct, which made Xiao Huan, the sensitive emperor, feel very annoyed.
Thinking that he hadn't read today's novel yet, he took a deep breath to suppress the complexity in his heart and waved his hand.
"Serve the food."
After hearing His Majesty's words, the strange atmosphere in the palace finally relaxed a little, and the eunuchs left one after another to serve the dishes. Speaking of which, it was dinner time, and the food was served quickly. However, due to the recent heavy rain, the expenses in the palace were also reduced a lot, so the food was less than before.
But compared to Xie Ling's own expenses, this is much better, okay?
He had been craving for the roast duck for a long time. If it weren't for the roast duck, he wouldn't have come so naturally.
Well, forget it. He would endure today's unpredictable mood. Xie Ling decided that even if Emperor Wu continued to make things difficult for him after the meal, he would not say a word.
Xiao Huan's familiar gaze passed over his head again. This time, due to the specially arranged angle of the seats, Xie Ling's sight was blocked by Wang Bao who was serving the food and he could not see anything, so he did not notice Emperor Wu's movements.
"——The host had a very satisfying fight! Because no one expected the host to suddenly do such a wild move, the whole place was in dead silence."
"After the Imperial Guards reacted, they quickly stepped forward and forced the host to kneel down and apologize. The Imperial Guard who had choked the host several times before even had cold sweat dripping down his forehead."
"The power of the Five Animal Play is so terrifying!"
Xiao Huan: ...
This was not due to the power of the Five Animal Exercises, but the fact that these imperial guards were frightened because they did not expect that a medical officer who was barely able to even tie a chicken could do such a thing.
He had a headache, and the inexplicably complicated emotions he had felt before were somewhat dispelled, so he continued reading.
"The host was being pulled up and down by five big men, with only his head facing the Emperor. He was about to repeat the same path as before. Seeing that the situation was not right, the host immediately shouted: Wait, wait, there is a misunderstanding."
"I have only been studying medical classics day and night, and accidentally discovered an ancient method of health preservation. I would like to present it to Your Majesty."
"I was afraid I couldn't explain it clearly, so I just demonstrated it again."
Guard: ...?
I asked you to come and explain to His Majesty why you knew so much, but you ran up and suddenly went crazy and started beating people up, and even said you were offering me some tips on how to stay healthy?
“Perhaps it’s because ‘health preservation’ is not as illusory as longevity, which touched the sensitive mind of Emperor Wu for longevity, and His Majesty finally looked at the host and spoke.”
"I am so happy that I am crying. Your Majesty asked me where I got this information from, and I said I got it from a long-lost medical book. The owner of the book is named Hua, and he was able to diagnose the erysipelas in your Majesty's pulse because of that book."
"In short, in short, the host has no bad intentions, he just wants to serve His Majesty!"
Xiao Huan pressed his forehead and curled the corners of his lips slightly, just because he didn't know what Xie Ling was thinking and emphasized the words "serve His Majesty".
The novel above is still going on. Influenced by the novel, Xiao Huan couldn't help but change to a more relaxed posture: "Emperor Wu asked the host where the medical book was. The host had to say that he accidentally lost it. Fortunately, Emperor Wu saw the exquisiteness of the Five Animal Play and let the host keep it."
"Faced with the incredulous looks of others, the host almost shouted: Your Majesty is wise!"
Xiao Huan had a subtle feeling that the person in the book liked the Five Animal Exercises, and the person in reality seemed to be the same. However, this subtle feeling only lasted for a moment before Xie Ling shouted "Your Majesty is wise". If this sentence was said by someone else, Xiao Huan would only think that this person was flattering him, but this was Xie Ling, no, it was the little medical officer who had been "ga" by him twice in the novel, and this was something Xiao Huan had to admit.
This man has been killed twice, yet he still thinks he is wise?
Judging from his previous behavior, this sentence is obviously sincere. The article can best reflect the human heart, and the bits and pieces in the previous novels can also correspond to Xie Ling's daily behavior. Therefore, after seeing this sentence, Xiao Huan's first reaction was that Xie Ling really thought he was extremely wise.
Just as he was thinking this, Xie Ling, who had just finished writing his novel, ate a duck wing and exclaimed happily at the same time.
"——Your Majesty is so kind."
The imperial meal is so delicious.
Although I don't know how this roast duck compares to the ones outside the palace, it is much better than what Xie Ling ate in modern times. What is the original flavor? This is the original flavor!
After Xie Ling finished expressing his feelings, he suddenly heard a cough from the side.
Xiao Huan felt embarrassed by the straightforward praise, but luckily he was the only one who could see the words, so he couldn't help but look away.
The eunuch next to him immediately became nervous.
"Your Majesty, have you caught a cold?"
"Do you need me to close the window?"
Speaking of which, the weather in Beijing has turned cooler since the rainstorm that day. The temperature difference between morning and evening is much greater than before, and you can catch a cold if you are not careful.
But Your Majesty has always been in good health. Why did he suddenly become so weak today?
The eunuch's voice was quite loud. Xie Ling, who was eating, immediately noticed the movement and blinked to look over.
Um?
Emperor Wu is ill? That won't do.
"Your Majesty, nothing can happen to you!"
The golden light above his head flashed and disappeared, and Xiao Huan witnessed it again, feeling even more complicated.
System: ... "You are so sincere."
He grumbled carefully in his head.
Xie Ling took it for granted. His Majesty was his breadwinner, so he had to provide for him. Morality meant nothing to him. You know, if the emperor was really sick, he couldn't even eat meat in the palace. He could still tell the difference between one meal of meat and another.
The system, which knew Xie Ling's true thoughts, watched Xiao Huan frown and then relax. However, Xie Ling's trick came again. He even clasped his hands together and wrote on the novel page: "I am willing to remain single and childless. May Your Majesty be healthy."
In ancient times, being unmarried and childless was a very serious matter. After all, the worst of the three unfilial acts was not having descendants. But now, in order to protect his health, Xie Ling was willing not to get married?
Xiao Huan was so curious for the first time: Why?
The system covers its face: Shut up.
Xie Ling: I won’t!
"Why don't you let me say it? Your Majesty is a wise ruler, and he will live a long life."
"And your Majesty's appearance and figure, it's not an exaggeration to say that you are the best, right?"
"Look at this waist, legs, and mermaid-line abdominal muscles. I heard that it's very powerful when doing that, right?"
“Who wouldn’t love this?”
"I'll peek every day these days, okay?"
Anyway, no one knows that Xie Ling has let himself go on the page.
With a "boom", the system exploded wildly: What are you talking about, brother? !
The system was dumbfounded as it never expected Xie Ling to say this at this time.
Xiao Huan suddenly closed his eyes. The words spoken by Xiao Xiang were too straightforward. It was hard for him not to understand them. To the ancients, who were always reserved, this was like a tsunami.
Especially Xie Ling said that he peeked at him every day.
His first reaction was what a disgrace, and his second reaction was that he had an idea. He finally had an idea to solve the puzzle that had been keeping him tossing and turning all day.
——Why does he admire me so much, why does he reveal so much information to me, and why does he have no complaints even after being killed many times in the novel.
He even wrote novels in my name and in his name, posing as a medical officer to get close to him in the books.
Xiao Huan had a complicated expression, and as he continued thinking along this line, he couldn't believe it: - Maybe it's because he really admires me?
