After a heavy rain, the summer afternoon became more and more sultry. Hearing the faint laughter outside, Zhu Yunxuan, who was reading a book, could not help frowning slightly.

Gao An glanced out the window and told him in a low voice, "It's a few little palace maids flying kites on the other side of the lake. If they disturb Your Majesty, the servants will ask someone to let them go."

Zhu Yunxuan didn't say anything, put down the book, got up and walked to the window, looking into the distance. At the beginning of the rain, a colorful rainbow hangs in the sky. On the grass on the other side of the lake, seven or eight little palace maids are chasing the kite that goes straight to the sky, laughing and making trouble.

Zhu Yunxuan narrowed his eyes lightly, staring at the kite swaying in the wind under the Changhong in a trance.

"His Majesty……"

Gao An whispered to him, Zhu Yunxuan's eyelashes trembled and he let out a sigh of relief.

Perhaps he was the kite in Liang Zhen's hand, and even if he was aloof and out of reach, he was always pulled by that thread and could not escape the palm of that person.

It's just that when the line collapses and tightens, one day, it will be completely broken.

When Liang Zhen came in, Zhu Yunxuan was still standing by the window in a daze. Liang Zhen paused behind him and smiled: "How can Your Majesty have a leisurely mood today, watching the scenery here?"

Zhu Yunxuan retracted his gaze and said calmly, "Just take a look."

"What is there to see here, why don't you take advantage of the rare rain to clear up and go outside for a walk?"

Zhu Yunxuan pursed the corners of his lips lightly, and said nothing, Liang Zhen pretended that he agreed, and went outside with a bow.

After coming to this other palace for more than a month, Zhu Yunxuan has never come out for a stroll. In the past, when Zhu Yunjing was still here, he came here every summer, when he had the most comfortable life. Don't need to think about other things, he once naively thought that he could live a life like that.

Walking on the stone arch bridge in the middle of the lake, seeing Zhu Yunxuan standing beside the bridge and staring blankly ahead, Liang Zhen asked him with a smile, "What is your majesty thinking?"

Zhu Yunxuan didn't answer. The palace facing the bridge in front of him was his brother's former residence. Looking at it now, it was a little unfamiliar.

Liang Zhen suddenly held his hand, Zhu Yunxuan frowned, and subconsciously was about to pull it out, Liang Zhen stuffed a handful of lotus seeds he had just peeled into his hand: "Sweet."

Zhu Yunxuan lowered his eyes, looked at the pink and white lotus seeds in his hand, and said lightly, "Isn't it not as delicious as the ones from King Zhaozhuangzi?"

The corners of Liang Zhen's lips rose. Although Zhu Yunxuan didn't accept his affection, he remembered everything he said.

"If Your Majesty wants to eat from Chen Zhuangzi, the minister will ask someone to bring some to His Majesty tomorrow, and cook some refreshing porridge for His Majesty's appetizer."

Zhu Yunxuan was noncommittal, and threw a lotus seed into his mouth.

After walking for a short while, Zhu Yunxuan's stomach felt a little uncomfortable. He didn't say it, but Liang Zhen seemed to see it and led him into the pavilion in the heart of the lake: "Let's take a break."

Zhu Yunxuan sat down, his calf twitched for a while, his eyebrows clenched tightly, and he clenched his teeth subconsciously. Liang Zhen bent over and grabbed his leg: "Is it uncomfortable here?"

Zhu Yunxuan did not say anything, and Liang Zhen massaged him with moderate strength, which really made him feel a lot better. Zhu Yunxuan looked at him coldly: "You don't have to do this."

"I am willing," Liang Zhen smiled lightly, "I am willing to do anything for Your Majesty."

Zhu Yunxuan was unmoved. Liang Zhen's low-profile gesture was not what he wanted. The more Liang Zhen was like this, the more vigilant he became, and he was wary of when he suddenly changed his face again, and then did all kinds of things. Call yourself life rather than death.

"If your Majesty has any discomfort, you must say it. Even if you don't want the minister to know, you must tell the imperial doctor. Don't always endure it like this. You are the emperor, the Holy Body is important, and you can't take it lightly no matter what."

Liang Zhen's voice is gentle, and when he rarely speaks like this, Zhu Yunxuan becomes more and more uncomfortable: "...I am like this now, and who gave it to me?"

The smile in Liang Zhen's eyes became stronger, and the strength in his hands increased. He squeezed it hard. He heard Zhu Yunxuan's subconscious inhalation, and the curvature of the corners of his lips increased. His shoulders and knee sockets picked him up.

Zhu Yunxuan's expression froze, and before he could speak, Liang Zhen said first: "Your Majesty is tired, go back and rest."

Zhu Yunxuan said coldly: "If you let me down, I can go by myself."

Liang Zhen took the man and strode back: "Why is your majesty holding on, foreign ministers can't come here without communication, and no one will see it."

Zhu Yunxuan naturally knew what he was talking about. There were rumors of ambiguous rumors between the two of them outside. He deliberately dealt with the Anlehou Mansion to suppress the rumors. Now the relationship between them is more confusing in the eyes of the ministers. He could endure the embarrassment and embarrassment faced by Liang Zhen, but he never wanted to be more tongue-in-cheek.

"Put me down." Zhu Yunxuan repeated again.

Liang Zhen lowered his head, touched his lips lightly against his temple, and put him down on the couch after entering the bedroom.

"Is it better now?" Liang Zhen grabbed Zhu Yunxuan's leg and massaged him a few times.

The soreness and discomfort finally subsided, Zhu Yunxuan coughed lowly: "It's alright."

Liang Zhen smiled and blinked, and wanted to say something else. A eunuch came in to report, saying that several cabinet ministers had come and were waiting in the front hall with something important to report.

Liang Zhen raised his eyebrows and helped Zhu Yunxuan get up.

The cabinet wants to talk about the epidemic in Yuzhou. It has been half a month since the imperial doctor went to Yuzhou. One of the four people who went there was an elderly person who contracted the epidemic when he arrived there and could not be rescued. News came back this morning. , the imperial envoy who had previously been sent to the past also fell ill.

Now Yuzhou is in complete chaos, and the epidemic has spread to the neighboring three prefectures and six counties. What's worse is that this year's summer seems to be extraordinarily hot and long. It's almost autumn, but the heat wave has not subsided at all. It is not easy to expect the epidemic to die out on its own. More and more people have fallen, and the rest of the world is also panicking and everyone is in danger, and they have begun to expel the refugees who have come due to the flood. If this continues, it will be bad.

"The prescriptions formulated by several imperial physicians can delay the disease, but they cannot cure the disease. After contracting the disease, the disease will develop within three to two days, and the slow one will only be delayed for ten days and a half months. More than 15,000 people have died, please send additional staff as soon as possible to deal with the aftermath!" Zeng Huai's eyes reddened, it was the first time in his life that he had encountered such a terrifying plague, and he only hated it. I can't do anything with my old bones.

Zhu Yunxuan fell into the chair and looked panicked. Even the imperial physician had no way to save people. What else could they do?

"...I will send the imperial physicians there again. Except for those who stay in the palace on duty, all the others will go to Yuzhou. So many people can always come up with a way... Let the Ministry of Household allocate more money, and there are imperial envoys. I will choose another way. The right person will set off today, and then order the governor of Yuzhou to report the epidemic daily from today, and..."

"Your Majesty!" Liang Zhen suddenly interrupted him with a loud voice, "Your Majesty doesn't need to send someone to go, the minister will go."

Zhu Yunxuan was stunned, his pupils shrank slightly, and looked at him in amazement: "Are you going to Yuzhou?"

"Yes, I would like to go to Yuzhou as an imperial envoy, and I hope Your Majesty's permission."

Zeng Huai suddenly raised his voice and said vigilantly, "What is King Zhao going to do in Yuzhou?!"

Liang Zhen glanced at him coldly: "Since I want to send someone, who is going to go? Why can't this king go? There are some things that your majesty can't do, and this king can do it. This king has always been daring and arrogant. It's all my own opinion, and it has nothing to do with Your Majesty, and this king will bear it all."

"What the hell are you trying to do?!"

"Don't do anything, just help His Majesty share his worries," Liang Zhen looked at Zeng Huai with his dark eyes, "Or does Mr. Zeng Ge come up with a better suggestion to help His Majesty solve this urgent need?"

Zeng Huai opened his mouth, but he didn't say any more. He had countless sages that he could use to scold Liang Zhen, but he also knew that no matter how much he scolds, the matter in Yuzhou would not be resolved.

If someone must do it, that person is King Zhao, far better than the emperor.

Zhu Yunxuan watched Liang Zhen calmly for a long time, but did not express his position on the spot, and all the people next to him retreated first.

They were the only ones left in the hall, and Zhu Yunxuan said in a deep voice, "What are you going to do?"

"Let's talk when we go, and act according to the circumstances," Liang Zhen said calmly, "What is the situation over there, we have to wait for the minister to see it with his own eyes."

"...Aren't you afraid of dying?"

Liang Zhen chuckled: "Is Your Majesty worried about the minister? If the minister contracted the epidemic and never came back, wouldn't it be in your Majesty's mind?"

Zhu Yunxuan's eyes darkened: "Are you really going?"

"Go," Liang Zhen restrained his smile and said sternly, "But I hope that His Majesty will allow the minister to be executed first, and then allow the minister to mobilize the troops and horses of Yuzhou."

"The soldiers and horses of Yuzhou?"

"Can Your Majesty trust the minister?" Liang Zhen suddenly asked him back.

Zhu Yunxuan couldn't believe it, but at the moment, besides Liang Zhen, he really didn't know who else to send there.

After a long silence, Zhu Yunxuan nodded: "Okay, I will give you a secret message."

Liang Zhen put the secret decree into his sleeve, his expression became more relaxed, he took a step forward, smiled and bullied Zhu Yunxuan, and dragged his voice: "Your Majesty, if your minister really died in Yuzhou, would you be sad?"

Zhu Yunxuan looked coldly at the smiling face that was close at hand: "...It's your own life, what's the difference with me?"

"Perhaps the minister has really gone and never returned, and your Majesty is unwilling to say something nice to the minister?"

Zhu Yunxuan turned his eyes: "You step back, go back and pack up, and leave today."

Liang Zhen responded with a smile: "The minister follows the order."
