Tribulation

Chapter 15

Ever since the day he argued with Run Yu, Xufeng had not seen him for several days.

If it was a misunderstanding, there would be a day when it would be resolved. But if it was a disagreement, they would either have to be reconciled and not mention it, or one side would have to compromise.

The relationship between him and Runyu was naturally not that of a gentleman's friendship that could be as indifferent as clear water, and this matter of disagreement was absolutely difficult to not mention in the future.

Xu Feng thought about it over and over again. Coupled with his understanding of Rune Jade, if he didn't put down his pride and go over to make peace, he was afraid that it would be too late for him to regret it.

Thus, he thought that although they could not be together day and night, it was still better than meeting countless people. There was no need to rush.

Once Xufeng thought it through, he immediately put it into action.

He bribed the Grand Commandant's people to find out about Run Yu's whereabouts.

He knew that Yi Tianyun had been very disciplined these past few days. When he entered court, he was on duty, and when he was off duty, he returned to his residence and did not go anywhere.

He slept very early every day, but it seemed that his spleen and stomach were not in harmony. He did not have much appetite. It was said that he ate very little and slept a lot.

Xufeng suddenly remembered that he had almost fainted in the prince's residence that day. He could not help but scold himself. How could he forget such an important matter?

He did not have a shred of anger in his heart. That day, he shamelessly paid a visit.

He calculated that Run Yu should have returned to his residence at about the right time. Who would have thought that he would come back empty-handed?

Run Yu was not there, so the Grand Commandant invited him to have dinner with him.

During the meal, the Grand Commandant chatted with him in a friendly manner. He talked about the customs of the north and the south and repeatedly praised him for his courage and strategy in retreating.

Xufeng thought that he should get closer to this future Old Mount Tai.

"His Highness Prince Yi's position in His Majesty's heart has skyrocketed. The day before yesterday, His Majesty said that there was no need to worry about no one defending the land and the Northern Dynasties invading.

With His Highness here, there is no need to worry about the court. "

"Speaking of military exploits, Xufeng is displaying his slight skill in front of an expert. Speaking of defending the country, who doesn't know that Milord is our dynasty's number one meritorious official?

In the battle twenty years ago, the Grand Commandant had single-handedly repelled the enemy, causing the enemy to tremble in fear. Since then, they had not dared to cross the river.

There is no other person in our dynasty who can compare to such achievements.

This time, I am relying entirely on Run Yu's guidance and planning. Like father, like son. "Xufeng raised his cup in a toast.

The Grand Commandant looked at him and smiled. He drank the wine and said, "Your Highness and Yu'er seem to be very close recently."

When it came to Run Yu, Xufeng had to be careful.

The Grand Commandant's words were obviously a test. If it were in the past, he would definitely have spoken without thinking.

However, after that dispute, he had some misgivings.

Moreover, Run Yu had always followed the rules. Now that he was facing his father, it was inconvenient for him to say anything without the latter's permission. As such, he said, "Run Yu and I are kindred spirits. This time, we have advanced and retreated together, and we have entrusted our lives to each other. Naturally, it is better than before."

The Grand Commandant laughed silently and did not pursue the matter. He personally poured Xufeng another cup of wine and said, "Yu'er is a stubborn child. Once he has set his mind on something, he won't turn back even if he bumps into a wall.

When his temper flares up, even I, as his father, can't do anything about it.

If he offends Your Highness in the future, I hope Your Highness will forgive him. "

The Grand Commandant looked at Xufeng with a meaningful gaze.

Xufeng had originally thought that he would say something against the two of them interacting. After all, his reputation was out there, and Run Yu had always been clean and honest. As a father, it was normal for him to worry that he would be influenced by the company of others.

However, he had not thought that the Grand Commandant would be so open-minded. It was as if he did not care about the relationship between the two of them.

Xufeng immediately said with a serious expression, "Don't worry, sir. Xufeng will not let him down."

This conversation was quite a father-in-law and son-in-law relationship. However, Run Yu was trapped in the inner court and could not escape.

In the afternoon, the attendants of the inner court came to pass on the empress' imperial edict, summoning him to enter.

His di mother and the empress were originally cousins. When he was young, he often entered the palace and was quite liked by the empress. However, after he grew older and avoided suspicion, he rarely came.

Today, the empress suddenly summoned him, but he did not know why.

Runyu followed him inside. Just now she found out that in order to celebrate the Emperor's birthday, the Empress had personally arranged a music and dance. But she was afraid that there would be some mistake in the etiquette, so she asked him to come and correct the mistakes for this music and dance.

At first, Run Yu did not understand why the empress had specially asked him to come. However, when he saw who the lead dancer was, he immediately understood.

After the dance, the young girl leading the dance took off her veil and bowed to Run Yu. It was Princess Jin Mi.

"Brother Run Yu definitely did not recognize me just now."

As Jin Mi acted coquettishly to the empress, she kept looking at Run Yu.

Ever since he knew that he was pregnant, Run Yu had unconsciously become very sensitive to other people's gazes. Even though he knew that it was just his mind playing tricks, and that immortal had said that he had used a trick, he was still very sensitive. Furthermore, the princess's gaze was very bold and even rude. Run Yu felt that her gaze made him uncomfortable.

"After not seeing each other for many years, the princess has become a beautiful young girl. Run Yu does not dare to be rude."

Jin Mi did not care about him and deliberately distanced herself from him: "I begged mother for a long time before I was able to invite Brother Run Yu.

I heard that Brother Run Yu's dance was graceful and graceful. His figure was the most eye-catching at the sacrificial ceremony. I have long wanted to see his style. I wonder if I would have the honor today? "

Seeing the empress's approving gaze, Run Yu felt very awkward.

Even though it was inappropriate, if his body was healthy, the empress had always been kind to him, and the princess had always treated him like a sister. Even if it was a dance, it would not be a problem.

However, these days, his stomach had been constantly hurting. He had been very careful in his actions. In addition, this summons clearly had a deeper meaning, so he did not dare to accept.

"Run Yu does not dare to refuse the princess's order. However, my waist has been injured recently. I am afraid that it will be difficult to satisfy the princess. If the princess wants to learn the sacrificial ceremony's dance, the palace maids can learn from the dancers of the Tai Yue House and then set an example for the princess."

Seeing that he was unwilling, Jin Mi couldn't help but feel disappointed.

The empress doted on this young girl the most. Since she had agreed to let her invite Run Yu, she didn't want her to return empty-handed. Thus, she said: "Then why not let Yu Run Yu dance for a while. Yu 'er can give her a few pointers."

This was already very accommodating. Run Yu could not refuse and could only agree.

Seeing Jin Mi happily dance, Run Yu agreed and earnestly gave her pointers.

However, there were differences between men and women. Even if he made a mistake, he couldn't personally correct her. He could only set an example.

This dance tested one's control of one's body. Although Jin Mi's figure was good, her strength and self-control were very limited. The lower half of the bridge tested the strength of the waist and flexibility. She wasn't an expert dancer, so it was difficult for her to do it.

Although Runyu repeatedly reminded her, he was not satisfied, so he had no choice but to use himself as an example. The rest of the movements were fine, but this' half bridge 'position relied heavily on the waist to exert strength. He had only bent down slightly, but when he got up, he felt a faint pain in his abdomen.

Jin Mi was practicing according to his posture when she suddenly lost her footing and fell backwards.

Only Runyu was nearby. Disregarding etiquette and etiquette, he wrapped his arm around her waist and embraced her.

Jin Mi stood up and steadied herself. She immediately revealed the bashfulness of a young girl.

Run Yu let go of her. Just as he said, "This is an urgent matter. Please forgive me, princess." He felt a sharp pain in his stomach. His face immediately turned pale.

Jin Mi was standing next to him and had been secretly watching him. She immediately discovered that something was wrong: "Brother Run Yu, your face is very ugly. Is your waist disease acting up again?

I shouldn't have pestered you to give me pointers. "

Seeing Jin Mi blame herself, Run Yu wanted to comfort her, but the pain in his stomach made it difficult for him to speak.

He bit down hard on his lower lip. He was afraid that if he opened his mouth, he would vomit. After a while, he forced out a smile and shook his head at Jin Mi.

Jin Mi had just said that she wanted to invite an imperial physician to treat him when she heard a loud voice from outside the hall: "Why are you inviting an imperial physician?"

The incomer walked into the hall as if there was no one else present. He was very aggressive. It was Xufeng.

"When he arrived, he was perfectly fine. How is it that after such a short time, he's so sick that he can't move?

If the empress has any complaints about me, punish or scold me. Run Yu is just a weak scholar. He can't handle the thunderous methods of the empress! "

He had the attitude of a punitive expedition. Run Yu knew that he had misunderstood. He wanted to open his mouth to explain, but when he called out "Your Highness", his barely held breath relaxed. His vision turned black and he fell to the ground facing Xufeng.

Xufeng quickly picked him up. He heard Jin Mi anxiously say: "Fourth brother, you misunderstood!

I invited Brother Run Yu to give me pointers. Who knew that his waist disease hasn't healed yet. He accidentally pulled on his old injury and is in so much pain.

If you want to blame someone, blame me. It has nothing to do with imperial mother! "

"Whether it has anything to do with me or not, I will find out when he wakes up!"
