Tong Sui stared blankly at the overlapping hands, his fingers were soaked in the cold, and quietly adjusted his awkward pen holding posture.

Rong Jin lowered his eyelashes, and under the cover of his slender eyelashes, a light shadow was cast in his eyes, which made his originally indifferent eyes a little more gentle.

Like a stream that flows when frozen water melts.

"Remember to take it like this next time."

Rong Jin withdrew his hand lightly, straightened his waist and returned to that inhuman appearance.

Tong Sui suddenly came back to his senses, if it wasn't for the coldness left in his hands, he even felt that the movement Rong Jin taught him to hold a pen just now was his own illusion.

Tong Sui pulled out a piece of paper again, the tip of the pen was stained with ink and dropped, and gently wrote two words on the paper with the adjusted posture of holding the pen.

Rong Jin.

Standing aside, Rong Jin was stunned for a moment, as if he hadn't thought that Tong Sui would use his name to practice writing.

"Here's a stroke missing,"

He reached out to hold the pen, and together with Tong Sui's hand, he added a stroke on the paper, "Do you remember?"

Tong Sui nodded again and again, "I will remember, keep it in my heart."

Rong Jin was silent for a while, a very subtle feeling surged in his chest, he let go of his hand and turned around, "It's all right, let's go eat."

Tong Sui responded excitedly and followed behind him.

Two figures in front and one behind walked in the night snow, crunching and creaking. Although the sound was noisier than when one was alone, it dispelled the loneliness accumulated over many years.

The dining room smells delicious.

He was already hungry when he was a child, and he always felt that he was back in adolescence when he was growing up. No matter how much he ate, he would get hungry very quickly.

Moreover, he is easy to feed, he is not too picky about what he eats, and he can look delicious and feel happy when he eats anything.

Rong Jin was used to walking and eating alone, but now there was an extra person beside him, breaking through the barrier he had built over the years.

He glanced over lightly.

Tong Sui occasionally makes a bit of chewing sound when eating, but it doesn't feel noisy. His agitated cheeks are like a little hamster trying hard to eat.

If he kept it a little bit yesterday, now it is really fully showing its original appearance.

Does anyone dare to relax so much in front of themselves?

Rong Jin thought for a while, it seemed that there really wasn't any.

Whether at a banquet or in private, eating is a necessary task of keeping alive, but a pleasure in the world of childhood.

After Tong Sui finished a bowl of rice, he turned around and found Rong Jin staring at him.

He blushed instantly.

"My lord, am I good at eating?"

"Well, eat more, you are too thin now."

Rong Jin's words gave Tong Sui a reason to cook, he unceremoniously served himself a second bowl of rice, and said with motivation: "Then I'm going to eat it!~"

The corners of Rong Jin's straightened mouth could not help but bend.

The atmosphere in the dining room relaxed a lot for a while, and it is rare to see such a harmonious scene appear here.

The servants were all amazed in their hearts.

This young boy is simply Lord Rong's treasure, otherwise how could he see Lord Rong's smile, today's appetite is better than usual, and he eats more than usual.

After eating, Tong Sui went back to the study to catch up on homework for a while, then went back to wash and sleep.

the next day.

Liu Yong probably got Rong Jin's instruction to add more calligraphy and traditional Chinese painting to the course.

Tong Sui's painting level is only as good as that of a big goose, let alone a freehand ink painting.

It's too hard for him.

He frowns and wastes a few days of effort, and finally draws a slightly readable picture.

Tong Sui said: "Can I frame this painting?"

"Of course." Liu Yong said, "Do you want to keep it as a souvenir?"

"I want to give it to the adults!"

Tong Sui carefully wrote Rong Jin's name in the lower left corner with not-so-beautiful characters.

Liu Yong was a little ashamed when he heard this, "I think it would be better to change to something else..."

"Huh? Don't adults like painting?"

Tong Sui remembered that he had seen many scrolls in the painting vat in Rong Jin's room, and there were also calligraphy, calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall.

Liu Yong looked forward to seeing his bright eyes, and didn't dampen his self-confidence.

The calligraphy and paintings in Rong Jin's room were casually written by world-renowned masters, and some people even dared to send them to him for his eyes when they specially searched for fine works.

never mind.

After all, it was a child's wish, no matter how indifferent Rong Jin was, he would just refuse to accept it.

So Tong Sui happily took his framed painting and came to the Supervisor of Rites.

Two guards stood outside the door, blocking his way.

"Wait, what are you here for? What are you holding?"

A voice came from the hall, "Let him in."

Tong Sui snorted, walked in with his painting in his arms, and found that there were not only Rong Jin in the hall, but also many people he hadn't seen before. Judging by the clothes, they should be ministers.

"grown ups."

Tong Sui obediently sat down next to Rong Jin, which aroused the surprise of the group of ministers, who didn't know that Rong Jin had a habit of not liking others getting too close.

They were waiting for Rong Jin to get angry, but the latter just hummed lightly, "You continue to talk about what you didn't finish just now."

"Yes," the minister resumed the discussion. In addition to the daily expenditure report, there was also a case of embezzlement related to water transportation.

"At present, the relevant people have been controlled, and they can be escorted to Beijing in a few days."

After about half an hour, everyone left.

Tong Sui's legs were about to go numb, he quickly straightened and stretched his crossed legs, and the picture scroll in his arms fell to the side.

Rong Jin reached out to pick it up, "What's the matter with you coming here suddenly?"

Seeing his painting in his hand, Tong Sui felt a little embarrassed at the moment, blushing and said, "You'll know when you open it."

Rong Jin spread it out slowly, looked at the landscape painting with a very personal characteristic on the screen, and looked at the inscription in the lower left corner, "Give it to me?"

Tong Sui nodded.

"I have drawn many pictures, but this one looks a little better."

"Well, hang up."

Tong Sui made a sound.

Compared with other calligraphy and paintings hanging in his room, this painting can be said to be ugly and out of place.

"My lord, you don't need to hang it up."

Hanging on the wall has the shame of a public execution.

Rong Jin said: "Didn't you give it to me? Why are you not allowed to hang it up?"

"Hmm..." Tong Sui whispered, "Okay, as long as adults like it."

Liu Yong would go to Rong Jin's every day to report on today's study progress, this time he saw the painting hanging in the middle as soon as he came in.

He froze for a moment, and took a closer look——

Isn't this the one drawn by Tong Sui?!

"Liu Zhongtang's teaching is quite good." Rong Jin said, "I remember that you seem to have a distant relative who wants to work in the court, and it happens that the servant of the household department is vacant, so let him try."

This was like a pie falling from the sky, Liu Yong was overjoyed and thanked again and again, "Thank you, Governor Rong, I will definitely assist His Royal Highness Tong Sui well!"

After Chu Yunyu heard the news after he came out of Yangxinzhai, he hurried to the small shabby house in Qiandong No. 5 and pushed open the door.

The room was empty.

He sat weakly on the cold and hard bed and stared at the small table in a daze, thinking about the little things he used to get along with in this room.

And because of Rong Jin's appearance, all this has come to naught.

The attendant standing outside the door reminded in a low voice: "Your Highness, it's getting late, and your empress wants you to go to Kunning Palace to find him."

Only then did Chu Yunyu regain his senses, walked out of the small broken room, and closed the door.

It's like nothing here ever happened.

Kunning Palace.

The queen put out several letters, "You can see for yourself."

Chu Yunyu picked it up, and when he saw the content on it, his face darkened, as if he couldn't believe it, "Rong Jin is so courageous, why did he suddenly do this to uncle?"

The queen was taken aback, it was naturally impossible for someone to speak out about Tong Sui, but she covered her face with a handkerchief, "The matter of water transportation is a major national plan, and it can involve many interests, Rong Jin naturally wants to catch this piece of fatIn my own hands."

"No, I'm going to find my father to make it clear, I can't just let my uncle die like this."

"Yunyu," the queen quickly pulled him back, "you don't have to go, don't you know how much your father trusts Rong Jin? Our identities are so sensitive, we will only lose our tongues if we rush to plead for mercy."

"Is it useless for us to just watch Uncle being killed by that stray dog?"

Chu Yunyu never thought that his majestic prince could be so useless.

The queen sighed.

Now the court is full of Rong Jin's minions, no one can be his enemy, no matter how noble their status is.

"Now our only hope lies in you," the queen said, "It will be your father's birthday soon, your performance is very important, as long as you can be registered as the crown prince, Rong Jin will not dare to be so arrogant in the future."

Chu Yunyu's face turned serious, "My son knows."

Tong Sui studied alone in the study for a while.

These days Rong Jin doesn't know what he's busy with, and he usually doesn't see anyone when eating, except for his old face facing Liu Yong every day.

He sighed inwardly.

These days are harder than he used to go to school, and the one-on-one teaching alone makes it difficult for him to touch fish.Not only must you study the Four Books and Five Classics, but you must also be familiar with the thick law.

Much of the knowledge recorded in it is simply unacceptable from the modern perspective, especially some tortures that torture people.

Tong Sui didn't like it, so naturally he couldn't learn it.

Since Liu Yong received several rewards and promotions from Rong Jin, he worked harder now, and his voice of studying was endless.

look back.

Good boy, Tong Sui is staring at the ice outside the window in a daze.

Liu Yong tapped on the writing on the blackboard, "Where did I read just now?"

Tong Sui's head was blank, and he couldn't remember what he said, Liu Yong sighed heavily because of his hesitation.

"What's going on with you these days? You're always distracted."

Tong Sui said: "These laws are too complicated, and these four books and five classics, although they are said to be the words of saints, but the so-called saints are also human beings, not to mention that they have been dead for hundreds of years, those who preserve the law of heaven and destroy peopleThe point of view of desire is that Zhu Xi himself can’t do it, so how can he demand it from future generations? It’s completely untenable.”

Liu Yong's face was turned green and pale by him, "How can you say such a thing?"

"What's wrong?"

A cool voice came from the door.

Tong Sui looked over happily, and sure enough, he saw a familiar figure standing outside the door, snowflakes fell on his watery black hair, and his complexion was even colder than the ice and snow.

It seems that at any time, it will merge with the white wind and snow behind it and disappear into this world.

Ordinary people may only think that Rong Jin is expressionless, but Tong Sui can sensitively sense that something is wrong with his mood today.

There is some kind of extreme emotional energy hidden in Rong Jin's body, the power that supports his frail body. Occasionally, a little bit of this emotion leaks from the bottom of Shen Shen's eyes, but it will soon be covered up by the indifference on the surface.

Liu Yong glanced at Tong Sui, smiled apologetically, "Master Rong, we were just discussing some irrelevant discussions."

Rong Jin said: "Tong Sui, you study here, Liu Zhongtang and I will go out for a while."

corridor.

"Overlord."

Liu Yong lowered his head, and heard the person in front of him say calmly: "How is his homework these few days?"

In front of Rong Jin, Liu Yong didn't dare to lie even if he tried his best, he could only tell the truth, "His Royal Highness Tong, Tong Sui has his own ideas about laws and so on., it is a bit difficult to teach."

Tong Sui could only see the two talking through the window, but he couldn't hear the specific content of the two talking.

This strange feeling is like being caught by the parents and not studying hard, and the teacher and the parents discuss the strange sense of sight.

After a while, the two re-entered.

Tong Sui hurriedly lowered his head, pretending to be studying hard.

"Tong Sui." Rong Jin said, "Come with me somewhere."

Tong Sui raised his head in surprise, and now he didn't care about dressing up, he quickly picked up the cloak hanging beside him and put it on, "Okay, where are we going?"

"You will know when you go."

With Tong Sui by his side, he can finally let the wind go, his steps are brisk, even if Rong Jin doesn't talk, he can go on talking alone, "I'm really suffocated to death these days, I don't like those things Liu Yong said, butHe insisted on telling me it was important."

Tong Sui was talking, and saw a little red plum not far away, standing proudly in the frost and snow like clusters of flames.

When he approached, he found that it was a plum grove exuding a faint fragrance.

"My lord, it smells so good."

Rong Jin has walked along this road countless times, but he has never stopped to admire the plum blossoms in the cold winter months.

But now in front of him, besides the flaming plum blossom, there is also a young man.

Almost a month has passed since we first met.

The young boy who was thin at the beginning also gained a little weight under the daily feeding, and he became taller, and his originally good foundation became more and more obvious.

Those clear eyes did not change because of the change of the environment, they were still bright and penetrating, and the snowflakes on the long eyelashes melted into water, looking at him wetly.

Rong Jin said lightly, "If you like, you can ask someone to fold a few and put them in vases in your room."

"No, no, just let it open like this." Tong Sui walked back quickly, the hot air he exhaled formed a white mist, his smiling eyes slightly curved, "I prefer the way he is on the branch.”

That strange feeling surged in his chest again.

Rong Jin frowned, he hated all emotions beyond his control.

It doesn't matter whether it's sad or happy.

The cobweb-like disturbing emotions will affect his judgment and trap him. He doesn't need such useless emotions.

It is like a person who has been walking in the dark, has adapted to the boundless darkness, and is accompanied by loneliness and indifference. When suddenly exposed to the sun, he will not feel warm, but will be stabbed by the sun's rays.

At least, Rong Jin didn't think he needed it.

He lives only to complete what he wants to do step by step, and he doesn't need anything else.

Rong Jin's face sank again, "Let's go."

Tong Sui groaned, and walked slowly behind him.

This section of the road gradually became more and more remote and silent, except for the occasional bird that flew by, there were no other living things.

He couldn't help rubbing his hands, strangely, this section of the road seemed colder and damper than other places.

After rounding the bend, a leaden gray building came into view. The gate was heavily guarded, which was different from other places.

The Jin Yiwei at the door saw Rong Jin's expressions changed, and hurriedly saluted, "Master Governor, do you need us to notify the Governor?"

"No need." Rong Jin nodded, "Open the door, I'll go in and have a look."

"yes."

When the heavy door was opened, it scraped across the hard bluestone ground, the sound made people tremble, and a chilly air rushed over.

The interior is impressively a complete prison.

Although wall lamps were lit on the walls on both sides, the faint light from the fire didn't play much role in the dark and damp prison, and could barely reflect the outlines of objects.

In each narrow cell, the only window was nailed tightly, so that no light could come in even in daytime.

Rong Jin walked in calmly.

The whiteness seemed to be swallowed by the surrounding darkness and gradually disappeared.

Tong Sui didn't care about the disgust, and quickly followed.

The first thing he felt when he walked in was cold.

This kind of cold is different from the cold in winter, it penetrates into the epidermis and reaches the bone marrow, as if the soul is full of chill.

There are all kinds of instruments of torture placed in the corner, some of which can be seen at a glance how to use them, while others are more complicated and delicate.

They are obviously used on more than one person.

They all carry blood stains that cannot be washed off after years of use, and the smell of blood mixed with rancidity makes people sick.

Tong Sui couldn't breathe, his chest was stuffy, and the blood on his face that had been cultivated these days faded away.

Rong Jin said, "Do you know where this is?"

Tong Sui shook his head, he didn't understand why Rong Jin brought him to such a place.

"This is Jin Yiwei's prison."

It is the legendary prison managed by Beizhen Fusi.

You can directly torture and torture, and act according to the order, and the three courts have no right to intervene.

The criminal law in prison is extremely cruel and does not conform to the ancient system.

There are 18 kinds of punishments, such as pinching the stick, skinning, amputating the tongue, breaking the spine, dropping fingers, stabbing the heart, and pipa.

"Most of the people imprisoned here are relatives of the emperor or former court officials."

Rong Jin's voice was calm, "These people have power and self-respect. Before this, they were all lawless and committed a lot of crimes."

Rong Jin stood outside the railing.

Squatting inside was an unkempt middle-aged man with a pale complexion and bloated limbs with festering pus.There is only one breath left hanging in the whole body.

He kept murmuring: "Your Majesty, I don't dare to be greedy anymore, Your Majesty..."

"Ahhh!!"

The man backed away in fright when he saw Rong Jin, as if Rong Jin had been sent by Yama to seduce the soul, and his shrill cry made Tong Sui's ears hurt.

"Do you think he is quite pitiful?" Rong Jin looked back at Tong Sui, those heavy eyes were especially clear in the darkness at this moment.

Tong Sui whispered: "A little bit..."

"When Emperor Taizu was alive, he could be sentenced to death for embezzling and accepting bribes at sixty taels of silver, which is enough for him to die tens of thousands of times,"

Rong Jin said: "There was a severe drought in central Sichuan, and the grain harvest failed. The imperial government opened the treasury to order relief, but after layers of exploitation, the people only had a little loose rice and chaff in their hands, and starved to death everywhere. The people could only eat bark in order not to starve to death.Tree roots, and even eat their own seeds.

Do you still feel sorry for such a person?"

Tong Sui's mood sank, he didn't expect that there was such a serious inside story behind it.

How dare these people?

Eating the salary of the imperial court, but also endlessly exploiting the common people.

Rong Jin walked a few more steps in, Tong Sui standing here alone felt cold on the soles of his feet, he quickly followed up and stood next to Rong Jin.

In one of the cells inside, a man in official uniform can be vaguely seen. His body is covered with stains. Look carefully at the pattern of dragons embroidered on his clothes.

The eye sockets that were supposed to hold the eyes were two dark holes, and the sleeves were empty, and the hands disappeared, exuding a rancid smell.

"This is the former Fourth Prince. His Majesty granted him a fief and made him a vassal, but he secretly raised elite soldiers and practiced day and night to rebel."

Rong Jin was already used to the cruel side of the prison, and the impact on Tong Sui had already made his mind go blank.

At this moment, the sound of iron chains dragging suddenly sounded from a cage.

A figure rushed over.

If it wasn't blocked by the solid railing, he would have rushed out to eat Rong Jin's flesh.

"You stray dog! Don't think that you can be arrogant now that I've lost power! Let me tell you, it doesn't matter if I die, and the debt will definitely be paid back in the future!"

The man who yelled at him obviously had just been punished, and his official uniform was completely stained with blood, and he looked completely unsightly.

Rong Jin approached with a chuckle, and the man who was arrogant just now took half a step back in fear.

"It seems that the Governor of Water Transport is very dissatisfied with me." Rong Jin smiled and said, "Ah, I forgot that you are just a prisoner in the Imperial Prison."

He smiled lightly and said, "Come here, pull out his tongue for me."

Rong Jin's tone was indifferent, as if he was saying that today's weather is good.

The man's eyes widened and he cursed angrily: "Rong Jin, you stray dog! You have no right to do this! Let me tell you! You are just a dog next to the emperor. When Yunyu succeeds to the throne, you will be torn to pieces.!!"

Jin Yiwei, who obeyed the order, held a special instrument of torture in his hand, which was still stained with blood, and opened the cage to hold him down.

At this moment, the man began to cry bitterly, "I was wrong, please let me go, your lord does not remember the mistakes of villains, let me go! I can give you everything."

Looking at the bloody instrument of torture, Tong Sui couldn't help it anymore, "My lord, I feel like vomiting."

Rong Jin nodded.

Tong Sui hurriedly rushed out, bent over to lean on the wall and retched, frowning, his lips were pale and dry, and the cold and dry air choked the intake pipe and made him cough violently.

Rong Jin walked out slowly, and handed him a pure white silk handkerchief.

Childhood took over.

His eye sockets were red because of the violent coughing, and there was mist in his eyes, like a frightened little rabbit, looking at him with a little fear.

"I, can I not go in?"

"It's scary, isn't it?" Rong Jin said, "Even under the strict law, it can't stop these people from wanting to offend."

Rong Jin said: "Strict laws are punishments, which make people feel awe. Chinese allusions are to restrain thoughts, and only when the two cooperate can the country be stabilized."

After returning from that damned place, Tong Sui had no appetite at all, and hurried back to the room to change his clothes, and washed himself vigorously, the hot water in the bucket gradually became icy cold.

Tong Sui shivered slightly, but he still endured the coldness until his skin turned red from rubbing.

He returned to bed exhausted, but he still felt that cold and stench on his body.

That night.

After finishing today's affairs, Rong Jin called Feng Yongchang over, "Where's Tong Sui?"

"Returning to Governor, he hasn't come out since he came back today, and he hasn't eaten. The door is closed and the room is dark inside. He should have fallen asleep."

Rong Jin frowned, "I'll go and have a look."

He stood outside Tong Sui's door and knocked, waited for a while and there was still no movement inside, Rong Jin pushed the door and went in to see the figure on the bed.

Rong Jin breathed a sigh of relief for no reason, and walked over to find that Tong Sui was wrapped in a quilt, and his exposed cheeks were flushed strangely.

He stretched out his hand to touch it, and his palm was hot.

Rong Jin's voice trembled slightly, "Go, call the people from Tai Hospital, hurry up."

Several followers ran out quickly.

Feng Yongchang followed by his side and took a look, "Why are you getting hot all the time? Could it be that you caught a cold today?"

Rong Jin gave him a cold look, Feng Yongchang quickly shut his mouth and stood aside.

The imperial doctor quickly ran over with the medicine box, and knelt down in a panic as soon as he entered the door, "Du, Du Lord, what do you feel uncomfortable?"

"Okay, don't kneel, come quickly and see why he is so hot."

"Yes yes yes." The imperial doctor stood up and searched Tong Sui's body in various ways, touching his head and feeling his pulse.

Rong Jin felt irritated for a while, "How is it?"

"Don't worry, Governor, it's just that he's overly frightened and has a cold, and he'll be fine after taking a prescription to reduce the fever." The imperial doctor said, "You can ask the servant to wipe his body with warm water first."

"Go, bring water."

A servant came in with a water basin, Feng Yongchang quickly grabbed it and walked to the bed and put it on the shelf.

"Master, here comes the water."

Feng Yongchang wrung out the veil, but Rong Jin took it over. He lifted the quilt, and Tong Sui's clothes were already wet with his own sweat, and they were tightly attached to his body.

Rong Jin frowned.

Feng Yongchang has been by Rong Jin's side for so long, so he naturally knows that he doesn't like too close contact with other people, let alone this kind of job of changing clothes, wiping his body and serving others.

"Master, you don't need to come in person for such a small matter, I will do it."

However, before Feng Yongchang touched the corner of Tong Sui's clothes, he was stared back with a cold glare.

He shrank his head in fright.

Rong Jin said coldly: "Bring a set of clean clothes over here, and then stand far away. If you dare to look here again, I'll goug out your eyes."

"yes."

Feng Yongchang didn't dare to get any closer, and even thoughtfully closed the door of Rong Jin's room, standing outside the door to guard.

Rong Jin's eyes fell on Tong Sui again, because the quilt was lifted, Tong Sui was frowning at this moment, muttering something all the time.

He leaned over and listened.

"Cold, so cold..."

The temperature in the room was not low, but Rong Jin still bent down and added some more charcoal fire under the bed to make the bed warmer.

Tong Sui frowned slightly.

Rong Jin stretched out his hand to untie his belt, stripped off the whole sweat-soaked clothes, and threw them on the ground.

Candles were burning in the room, and there were crackling sounds from time to time. The warm light fell on the thin body of the child, covering it with a layer of luster.

This body is covered with scars of different shades, even after a month of recuperation, they are still clearly visible.

Rong Jin suddenly felt that it was too cheap to execute those few people like this.

He wiped off his sticky sweat with a damp towel, then took the clean clothes at hand, and changed into Tong Sui with a little skill.

Only when his fingers inadvertently touched the bones did Rong Jin realize how thin Tong Sui's shoulders were, and the clavicle and ribs were all prominent.

Why have you been so skinny after almost a month?

At this time, there was a knock on the door of "Tuk Tuk".

Feng Yongchang said: "Master, the soup is ready."

"come in."

When Feng Yongchang came in, he saw the clothes on the ground and Tong Sui's new dry clothes.

He didn't expect Rong Jin to treat Tong Sui so well. If it was just to help train a prince, he would not need to do this kind of thing himself.

Rong Jin stretched out his hand, "Bring it here."

Feng Yongchang quickly handed over the soup and medicine, and stood aside waiting for orders.

Holding the steaming medicine bowl, Rong Jin scooped up a spoonful and blew on it before handing it to Tong Sui's lips, intending to pour it down for him.

Tong Sui closed his lips, brown liquid medicine leaked from the corner of his mouth.

Feng Yongchang hurriedly looked for a handkerchief and wanted to pass it to him, but when he turned around, he saw Rong Jin wiped it with his own sleeve, and his white sleeve was stained and fainted.

He couldn't close his mouth in surprise.

Rong Jin handed the medicine bowl back, "You take it first."

"Oh, oh oh oh."

Feng Yongchang quickly reached out to catch him, and saw Rong Jin gently help him up, with Tong Sui's head resting on his shoulder.

It looked like he was holding someone in his arms.

At first glance, this picture is very harmonious, but when think that it is Rong Jin, whom everyone is afraid of, no matter how look at it, feel very weird.

Rong Jin took the medicine spoon again, pinched Tong Sui's jaw with the other hand, forced him to open his mouth, and fed the medicine in little by little.

"bitter……"

Tong Sui frowned, now he was in a daze with fever, and wanted to vomit out after drinking a few spoonfuls.

Rong Jin put down the medicine spoon, and slowly frowned.

Just when Feng Yongchang thought he would lose his temper, Rong Jin raised his head and said to him, "Go and find some more candies."

"yes."

Feng Yongchang felt that he had really seen a ghost as he walked out.

Rong Jin stuffed the candied dates he found into Tong Sui's mouth, waited patiently for a while before taking it out, and started feeding the medicine again.

Half a bowl of medicine lasted for a quarter of an hour.

After feeding, Rong Jin put Tong Sui down, half of his body was already numb, and he used his other hand to tuck the quilt up carefully.

Tong Sui closed his eyes and didn't know what happened, and fell into a deep sleep again.

His body temperature also dropped a lot after taking the medicine, but it was still higher than normal, and he needed to take another medicine in a few hours.

"Master, it's getting late. You have to go to the Palace of Heavenly Purity to discuss politics early tomorrow morning. Let us servants serve here."

Rong Jin sat by the bed, "No, I'll watch here. You go out and close the door, and come in after the medicine is cooked."

"yes."

When the sky was dawning, Tong Sui took the medicine for the second time, and his body temperature dropped completely.

There was a bit of tiredness in Rong Jin's eyes, creases and dark stains appeared on his always neat and clean robe, he leaned against the bed and closed his eyes for a nap.

When Tong Sui woke up in a daze, he smelled the smell of medicine, and his mouth was astringent. He struggled to lift his heavy eyelids, and vaguely saw a familiar figure sitting beside the bed.

Thinking he was still dreaming, he reached out and rubbed his eyes.

"... Rong Jin?"

Tong Sui's eyes widened a bit, how could he be in his own room, and immediately he felt his body was heavy and weak, and his voice was also hoarse.

Hearing Tong Sui's movement, Rong Jin opened his eyes that had been closed for a while.

When the four eyes met, Tong Sui shrank back unconsciously, this small movement made both of them stunned.

Rong Jin stood up, "You had a fever last night, so you don't need to go to the study today, just take a good rest in your room."

He will leave after speaking.

Tong Sui quickly propped himself up and sat up, "My lord."

Rong Jin paused, "Is there anything else?"

Tong Sui pursed his dry lips, looked up at Rong Jin's back hesitantly, and said, "...My lord, were you the one who took care of me last night?"

"No," Rong Jin said, "I just happened to come over to take a look."

After he finished speaking, he closed the door.

Tong Sui frowned, but why in some fragments of his memory was Rong Jin's face and the cold fragrance of his body.

Change his clothes, wipe him and give him medicine.

Could it be that he really burned himself out?

After a while, the door was knocked again.

Feng Yongchang came in with a bowl of hot porridge and put it on the table, "Little master, are you hungry? Master Rong specially asked me to prepare something for you when he left."

As he spoke, he went to help Tong Sui get out of bed, "This porridge is light, it's best for you to eat now."

Tong Sui was supported by him and sat at the table, "You took care of me last night?"

"How can it be?" Feng Yongchang said hastily: "Yesterday, Governor Rong personally took care of you overnight, without even closing your eyes, and served you to drink medicine twice."

Looking at the steaming bowl of porridge, Tong Sui obviously cooked it several hours in advance.

Why didn't you say that you obviously took care of him?

Rong Jin hurriedly changed into a suit of clothes and went to the Palace of Heavenly Purity for the morning meeting. Because he didn't rest all night, his face was more gloomy than usual.

But the people in the hall have to report some nonsense.

Rong Jin said impatiently: "Let's talk about the main points, and anyone who talks about those useless things will be cut down."

After returning to Supervisor from Palace of Heavenly Purity, Rong Jin rubbed his sore brows, the fear in Tong Sui's eyes and the movement of shrinking back when he saw him repeatedly appeared in his mind.

He looked at the picture hanging on the wall.

If you give him presents before he is a child, will you be afraid of him after that?

"Master, what's on your mind?"

Rong Jin looked up at Liu Yong who was standing aside, and briefly explained what happened yesterday.

After hearing this, Liu Yong was shocked at first and then remained silent for a while, "Master Governor, there may be something wrong with your education method."

"Although you want to let him understand everything he has learned with good intentions, the edict is cold and cruel, and adults can't accept it. He is only twelve years old when he is a child. This method is too hasty."

Liu Yong said: "I'm afraid it will leave a psychological shadow on him."

After hearing this, Rong Jin felt his head hurt even more, why did he still have so many scruples.

His eyes fell on the painting again.

Recalling Tong Sui's happy appearance when he saw plum blossoms in the snow yesterday, he called someone over, "Go and find some people, and go and transplant the plum tree with its roots to Tong Sui's room."
