Otherworldly Days

Chapter 492 The Son of Heaven Travels

The sun in the sky is like a fire, and the ground is as hot as a burning stove. There are fewer pedestrians and horses on the street than usual. He yelled from time to time, and there was not much business in the whole day, and this business was difficult to do.

The checks for entering and leaving the city were much stricter. The soldiers guarding the city rudely inspected the people entering and leaving the city, and said impatiently, "Hurry up, hurry up."

The people who got permission to go out of the city hurried in with his basket, fearing that they would be stopped by the soldiers guarding the city if it was too late.Since ancient times, people have been afraid of officials, and the big swords carried by the officials' waists will suddenly be pulled out to face unarmed ordinary people like them. They are no match for these officials.

There are many people from other places in the city, and many of these people are from the north.

There are more and more beggars begging on the street day by day. These people think that they can at least have a bite of food at the feet of the emperor and not starve to death, but they don't know that coming here is more difficult than they imagined.

"Master, this is from Nanyang." The shopkeeper Fang handed the prescription that Nanyang had delivered quickly to the master, and stood by the side rubbing his hands, waiting for the master's order.

"Okay, Uncle Fang, arrange someone to get it right away." Fang Ziye opened his eyes and looked at it, with a rare smile on his face.

This prescription was delivered in a timely manner, and at this time, Fengdu City was as hot as a furnace, and it was the most lacking thing.There is no shortage of masters without money in Fengdu City, some of the ice stored in the mansion is only used by the old lady, and the concubines and servants can't get it at all. Thinking about it, these people are willing to spend some money. Buy some ice and use it back.

As long as Zinu doesn't call over for a day, it won't affect the lives of the masters and wives in Fengdu City. Fang Ziye believes that that person will never let Zinu call to Fengdu City.Now that they are short of silver taels, this prescription is enough for them to make a fortune.

"Yes, this old servant will find someone to do it." Shopkeeper Fang replied, took the prescription and left happily, which was full of silver. He seemed to see a large pile of white paper in front of him. Huahua's silver, even the pace of walking is faster.

"Master, drink some water." Er Shun gave his master a cattail fan. Knowing that his master was not feeling well, he waited on him more carefully, holding the cattail fan to fan the wind for his master. The weather is so hot that even the wind that blows is It's hot, and I don't know how long it will be hot this day.

Fang Ziye took the cup and drank it one gulp at a time, looking at the ground, not knowing what he was thinking.

It wasn't until it was dark outside that the carriage returned to the courtyard.

The slave who was serving in the mansion saw the master came back and knew the habit of taking a bath as soon as the master came back, so he walked up to the master and bowed and said, "Master, the medicinal bath is ready, are you now..."

"Send me to the house." Before anyone could finish speaking, Fang Ziye left a word and asked his slave to send him to the house. He couldn't stand the pain on his body anymore, so he hurried back to the house, and I want to take off all my clothes.

The water for bathing in the room was soon ready, and the servant who brought the water back out of the room and closed the door.

One by one, he took off his clothes and hung them on the screen, and hung up the last white obscene clothes. With one bare foot on the ground, he walked towards the bathtub step by step, stepped on the stool, and entered the bathtub. inside.

The person who sat down in the water closed his eyes, and sat in it leaning against the tub, his white chest was covered with a large red spot, and some places were torn from the ground by his clothes, and the blood was as red as if he was about to bleed Yes, mottled and messy.

In fact, Xiao Baoer and Er Baoer's physiques are similar to his mother's. When the weather is hot and sweats, it is easy to get prickly heat.Fang Ziye is a person who is very afraid of heat, his whole body will itch after soaking in sweat. In the past, at this time, he would go to a cool place to hide to cool off, and try his best to stay indoors and sit to prevent himself from sweating.

It's just that there are so many things to do now, he can't hide and cool off if he wants to.

Every day he ran outside and sweated, and there were patches of red spots on his body. He wanted to scratch a layer of skin to get itchy, but he still had to resist scratching, otherwise he would be the one who hurt in the end, so every day I have to take a medicinal bath when I come back from the outside, and the erythema that has grown up will fade away, and I will feel more comfortable.

He has soaked in this medicinal bath for several years, and the effect of soaking is very good, but it has become more serious this year.

The person who came at night saw that everyone on the bed had fallen asleep. Fang Ziye woke up suddenly when he felt the person approaching behind him, and stretched out his hand to push in a daze, "Hot..." Pushing it, he was about to move inside.

Half awake, Fang Ziye also knew who the person was, but even though the room was surrounded by ice, he still felt hot, and whenever that person approached, he would hide inside. This bed is only this big. , he has nowhere to hide.

"..." His Royal Highness King Yi who was pushed away.

Even if ice cubes were placed around the room, Fang Ziye couldn't sleep well at night due to the heat.

"Is it hot? Then let me play cattail fan for you, okay?" Feng Lingxiao smelled a smell of medicine, which was a little familiar, and he remembered that when he was holding Er Bao'er, Er Bao'er also had the same smell. Feeling this smell, I thought that Er Baoer was like his mother. Knowing that Fang Ziye would not let his servants come to serve him in the house at night, so no one was left to serve him in the house, so he grabbed the cattail fan on the side, Fourth Master Feng willingly fanned others.That is to say, Fang Ziye can enjoy the emperor's treatment with Fourth Master Feng, and even the old emperor has been served by his son in this way.

Someone fanned him, and Fang Ziye felt more comfortable with the wind. He was dazedly thinking about the person behind him fanning him instead of his slave. A little smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he closed his eyes and fell asleep on his bed. I feel it.

Hearing that the people around him were breathing slowly and evenly, Feng Lingxiao knew that he was asleep, so he reached out to grab him and hugged him in his arms.The person in his arms was wearing a thin obscene garment, and he didn't even wear obscene trousers underneath. His throat was rolling, and he was unwilling to wake him up again at this moment. The cattail fan in his hand gave this People hit from time to time.

Those who slept at night were much more peaceful and fell into a deep sleep.

When he woke up the next day, the person who played the cattail fan for him at night had left at some point. Fang Ziye saw the medicine bottle on the bedside. After rubbing the medicine on his body, he woke up feeling much better.

The front of his shirt was half open, and there was a red hickey mark on it, which was unusually conspicuous on it, and it didn't have to be thought that it was left on it by people who came at night.He vaguely remembered what that person seemed to have said to him at night, but he couldn't remember what those words were for a while.

The servant waiting outside heard the voice in the house, asked the master softly if he was awake, and opened the door when he got a response, and went in to serve the master.

There was no rain for a long time in the north, floods and plagues raged in the south, the old emperor wanted to go to Longtan Temple in Xiangshan to offer sacrifices with his seriously ill body, begging for rain for the people, praying for the good weather of the great phoenix, the prosperity of the country and the safety of the people.

The emperor's travel is not a trivial matter, and the Ministry of Rites has been preparing for the emperor's travel for half a month before arranging the relevant matters.

This day was the day when the emperor was going out, and the people in Fengdu City stood on both sides of the street waiting, looking forward to it, waiting for the emperor's chariot to come.

Seeing the road blocked by officers and soldiers, and hearing what the people were talking about, Fang Ziye, who was standing outside the crowd, remembered what that person had said to him last night. He said that he would accompany him to Xiangshan, and he would not be able to return until a few days later. .

"Hoo, hoo, hoo," the sound of the trombone, which can be played from a distance, is sacred and solemn, as if it penetrated the entire Fengdu City.

The cavalry went first, and saw the guard of honor approaching from a distance, followed by the band, followed by the emperor's jade ruin, the yellow color engraved with golden dragons was particularly conspicuous in the guard of honor, the princes and officials followed behind, and the guards were strict .

A long line, standing at the head and not seeing the end, standing at the end and not seeing the end, even such a small trip of the emperor has reached tens of thousands of people.

The people on both sides cheered, the emperor's guard of honor passed by, and the people on both sides knelt down, shouting long live.

"Master." Er Shun hurriedly reminded the master when he saw that the master was standing still and did not kneel down.

Fang Ziye knelt down after being pulled by the little slave beside him.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live..."

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live..."

The guard of honor passed by, looked up, and the people kneeling in the crowd still found King Yi who was riding a horse behind Yu Ren at a glance.

King Yi, who was riding on a high horse, looked at the dark crowd, and seemed to meet the eyes that were looking at him.It's just that the guard of honor is moving forward, and the people following in the guard of honor are also moving forward, and the person kneeling on the ground falls behind, and the distance between the two is getting farther and farther.

"Master, look, that's our master." The little slave also saw the master on the big horse, with a happy smile on his face.Every Dafeng citizen feels very proud to see the emperor's guard of honor, and Ershun is no exception.

Seeing the old man in the guard of honor, the little slave seemed to have forgotten that he didn't like to see that old man normally, and now he felt different when he saw him.

A long line of people walked past, they couldn't see the end, and soon lost sight of that person, Fang Ziye looked away.After the guard of honor passed, the people kneeling on the ground got up one by one.

"Master, let's get up." Er Shun stood up and reached out to help his master up.The guards at the back stretched out their hands to protect his master and the heartfelt little slave.

Fang Ziye got up, took a look and was about to leave.

The people were very happy to see the emperor's guard of honor. His Majesty went to the monastery to beg for rain for their big phoenix. The people all hoped that there would be some rain on this day, that the crops in the field could be fed, and that the invading Zinu would be killed by the court. They all pinned their hopes on the emperor who went to the temple to offer sacrifices.
