Chapter 2311 Prepare in Advance

The fish was cooked and it was getting dark.

The surroundings were quiet and the wind was rustling.

It's a bit cooler than during the day.

There were lanterns hung around, which made the place bright.

There was no need for the three of them to differentiate themselves, so they just ate fish around the small stove.

The fresh fish is freshly cooked, tender and delicious.

In order to take care of Zhao Yuanjing, Yun Dai did not dare to use more spicy food.

But Zhao Yuanjing only took a few mouthfuls, then stopped, covered his lips with a handkerchief and coughed.

Yun Dai hurriedly put down her chopsticks, held them along her back for him, and said angrily: "I blame the cooking for being too spicy. You drink some water."

Zhao Yuanjing coughed for a long time before reluctantly stopping.

He took a sip of tea and his voice was a little hoarse: "It has nothing to do with you, don't say stupid things. Your fish is so bland that it has almost no taste, how spicy is it?"

Zhao Shu also stopped his chopsticks, frowned and said, "Yuan Jing, your illness...then what did Ming say?"

Regarding the true condition of the emperor's illness, most others except Yun Dai, the imperial doctor, and Ming Min kept it secret.

Although the prince is sensible, after all, he has not yet taken charge of his own affairs. As an emperor, he still has to stand firmly in the court. If people knew that he was so ill and had only a few years to live——

Isn't the imperial court still in chaos?

The people have only had a good life for two years, and the situation has just stabilized. Zhao Yuanjing will never allow so many efforts to fall short.

Even if it doesn't work, he has to hold on, at least until the prince grows up enough to take charge of the court on his own. What's more, the queen is so weak...

Yes, in his eyes, the queen is the weakest little pitiful person in the world. Without his protection, she would simply not be able to survive.

Therefore, Zhao Yuanjing did not even tell the truth to his closest uncle, the little emperor.

The surrounding palace people were far away, and no one could hear them.

Zhao Yuanjing calmed down after drinking tea, gathered the cloak around him, remained silent for a moment, and said: "Little Emperor Uncle, if I leave, will you continue to protect the country of Great Zhou and assist the crown prince in his ascension to the throne?"

Zhao Shu stood up directly.

"Uncle Emperor, please sit down and don't look at me like this." Zhao Yuanjing raised his hand and said with a smile, "I was just joking, but you are so scared?"

Zhao Shu glanced at Yun Dai.

She looked at the fish cooking in the pot, the night wind gently blowing her hair.

Long, thick eyelashes covered her eyes.

It's hard to see her expression clearly.

Zhao Shu was sure in an instant that what the emperor said was true.

Zhao Shu sat down and regained his composure: "Yuan Jing, what's going on? Didn't you say that if you invite Qingshan layman, the disease will be cured?"

Zhao Yuanjing said: "Ten years. This is all the time left for me."

"Ten years? How can this be done?" Zhao Shu asked, "What on earth is going on that it's so serious? Is the Qingshan layman just alarmist?"

Zhao Yuanjing said what Mingmin said.

Zhao Shu couldn't help but feel guilty and regretful.

If he hadn't been unconscious at the time, why would Yuan Jing have wanted to fight in person, and he wouldn't have ruined his already bad body like this.

Zhao Yuanjing said: "I will not hide this matter from the little emperor uncle. The little emperor uncle should know my intentions. In this court, the only person I truly trust, besides Jin Lan, is the little emperor uncle. Although Ming said it was Ten years have passed, but my condition is indeed accelerating and getting serious. I always have to make some preparations in advance to avoid..."

"Stop talking." Yun Dai suddenly spoke, her voice unusually low.

Zhao Yuanjing was stunned and stopped talking.

"I'm done, I'm going back." Yun Dai stood up, turned around and left quickly.
