Golden Stage

Not long after, the maid brought in the newly decocted medicine.Yan Xiaohan took it with his own hands, put it in front of Fu Shen, and said concisely: "Drink."

Fu Shen stared at the steaming decoction with a deadened heart, silently getting lucky.

Seeing him like that, Yan Xiaohan couldn't laugh or cry, and couldn't help teasing badly: "Master Hou, if you didn't have a limp, wouldn't you be in bed by now?"

"Get out for me," Fu Shen glared at Yan Xiaohan, "Okay, please stop nagging, are you an old hen? Put the medicine there, I'll drink it myself!"

Yan Xiaohan really didn't think it would be so difficult for him to drink the medicine.After all, Fu Shen has always been a very self-disciplined person in his eyes, he will never shrink back from what he should do, and he is almost never self-willed.

He slowed down his voice and persuaded: "This bowl of medicine is not much, once you close your eyes and mind, you will see the bottom of it after a few sips, really."

Fu Shen looked away in pain.

"Do you think the medicine is bitter? Is it that bad to drink?" Yan Xiaohan picked up the bowl and took a sip, frowned. He felt that the bitterness was a bit bitter, but it was not unbearable. Why would Fu Shen be so bitter? resist?

"It shouldn't be." Seeing that Fu Shen's lips and face were pale, he frowned and suppressed it. Guessing that he was nauseated by the smell of the medicine, he put the medicine bowl aside, took his hands, and gently rubbed the blood on his wrists. Neiguan acupoint, and asked tentatively: "Ordinary people would not have such a big reaction, let alone you. Is there something unspeakable? Can you tell me?"

Fu Shen's hands were held by him, limp, like a small animal spreading its paws.He didn't escape, but he looked a little downcast, and he brought up the past with displeasure: "I, when I was young, I was in poor health and often took medicine. My mother left early, and the nanny didn't care much about me. She refused to accept me when she saw me. After drinking the medicine, I pinched my nose and poured it hard, and vomited once every time I poured it, and then it gradually became a problem, and I vomited everything I ate."

Yan Xiaohan's eyes grew colder when he heard this, and he asked softly, "You... No one at home noticed?"

Fu Shen twitched the corner of his mouth: "At that time, my father was at the border, and he was away from home for many years, so no one cared about me. Later, my second uncle noticed something was wrong, and found someone to secretly watch the nanny, and finally rescued me from her .Since then, I have switched to pills."

He breathed a sigh of relief, and said frankly: "Actually, it's not that I can't drink, but I'm upset and don't want to drink."

There was a warm touch from the wrist, Yan Xiaohan was a martial artist, his fingers would not be too soft, but the strength of pressing and kneading was moderate, giving comfort invisibly.Taking advantage of this warmth, Fu Shen made preparations, thinking that hiding was not an option, so he leaned over and reached for the medicine bowl.

Unexpectedly, Yan Xiaohan went against his usual behavior and pushed him back.

Fu Shen looked up at him suspiciously. Yan Xiaohan was originally sitting on the round stool opposite the bed, but now he put the medicine on the bedside, got up and sat on the side of the bed, leaning against the bed rail, and said, "Today is Let Shen Yuce change the last bowl into pills for you tomorrow."

Fu Shenxin said that pills are just pills, why are you sitting so close.

Yan Xiaohan smiled, and his tone was a bit unnatural: "You probably don't remember... In fact, when you were unconscious two days ago, you were able to drink the decoction."

Fu Shen: "Huh?"

Yan Xiaohan: "I fed it myself."

Fu Shen: "!!!"

Is he really comatose?How does it feel like amnesia.

"What do you want to do?" Fu Shen asked vigilantly, "Are you serious? You don't plan to take this house anymore?"

Yan Xiaohan couldn't help but laugh: "Don't worry, I don't intend to force you, come, come here."

Fu Shen moved towards him in doubt.Yan Xiaohan said, "Turn around, and turn your back on me."

Fu Shen turned around as he said, he was sitting upright on the bed, Yan Xiaohan stretched out his hand to hold his shoulder, pressed back hard, Fu Shen fell into his arms on his back.

He was about to go to bed, he had already removed his coat, only wearing a thin white silk jacket, his hair was loose, he was completely defenseless.Through a layer of fabric, Fu Shen could immediately feel the warm and firm body against his back. The breathing of the other person was clearly audible, and the medicine smell was bitter, but it couldn't stop the scent of agarwood lingering around his neckline.

Fu Shen struggled as if his tail had been stepped on, and said sharply, "Yan Xiaohan! Are you tired of working?!"

"Be honest, don't move around." Yan Xiaohan leaned back against the head of the bed, supported him in a half-lying position with his left shoulder and chest, held a bowl in his left hand and a spoon in his right, and wrapped Fu Shen firmly in his arms, bowed his head, His chin touched his sideburns: "Now I know? That's how I fed you back then. It's not to take advantage of you, maybe who will take advantage of whom."

Fu Shenquan remembered.

During the period when his high fever persisted and he was in a daze, someone did hug him time and time again, blowing the soup and medicine to cool down with his own hands, and feeding him mouthful by mouthful.He also struggled, but that person was surprisingly gentle and patient, not at all like the rough-handed nanny in his memory.Someone will coax him softly, even the porcelain spoon touches his lips gently, and after feeding the medicine, he will be fed another spoonful of light honey water.

At that time, two bowls of decoction a day did not seem so difficult to swallow.

Yan Xiaohan adjusted the proper posture: "Try again and it won't work. Just this time, it won't be an example. Come on, open your mouth."

For the first time in his life, Fu Shen wanted to find a place to hide in, but he was trapped within an inch of his arms.Immediately, a spoonful of medicine was brought to his mouth, the movement was gentle, but he waited for him to open his lips and teeth without refusing.Suddenly, it seems that another consciousness has become the master. Before the rationality is alert, the body has already responded according to the old memory.

When the first sip of the soup flowed down his throat, he heard Yan Xiaohan chuckle from the top of his head, as if he was very helpless, but he had no choice but to connive: "After all, I still need someone to serve... Eldest Young Master."

Fu Shen elbowed him once, as if he was dissatisfied, but the force was very light, like a duplicity of refusal, the elbow was full of ambiguity.

What's the matter, young master?

Didn't the young master fall into your hands?

A bowl of decoction was drained quickly, and Fu Shen was like a complete uncle, asking for water in a low voice without even raising his eyelids.Yan Xiaohan held him with his left hand, and brought the teacup to his mouth. Fu Shen took a sip from his hand, curled his lips and said, "It's not sweet."

"You're so delicate." Yan Xiaohan returned his hand and put the teacup back to its original position, complaining half-truthfully, "You just finished drinking the medicine, obviously everything you drink is sweet."

Fu Shen seemed to be smiling, but because he was stuffed in his arms, it sounded like a snort.

Yan Xiaohan was about to put Fu Shen back on the bed, but unexpectedly, the person in his arms suddenly turned sideways, stretched out his long arms, and wrapped his arms around his waist, with his head resting on the hollow of one of his shoulders, in this position curled up in his arms , closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Yan Xiaohan fell silent for an instant.

The candle shadow shakes red, illuminating the pair of Bi people.

What this moment means, without words, they all know it well.

—He was tempted.

a month later.

The carriage stopped outside Yanfujiaomen.Because Fu Shen didn't want to publicize his trip, he didn't even leave the main entrance, dressed lightly, and accompanied by dozens of personal guards.Xiao Xun carried Fu Shen into the car, put away the wheelchair, and asked casually, "General, isn't Master Yan coming to see you off?"

Fu Shen's eyes were flickering, he simply closed his eyes, and said casually, "No need for him to see you off. Are you packed? Let's go."

Xiao Xun was as careful as a hair, and always felt that his state was not right, not that it was bad, but rather strange.It seems that they have suddenly become estranged from that Lord Yan, but they don't see how much they are related to each other.

However, he only dared to think about these words in his heart, and did not dare to ask Fu Shen what happened.Xiao Xun got on his horse and set off first.The carriage then moved slowly, and the servants of the Yan Mansion watched them go away before returning to the mansion and closing the corner door again.

When the group of people left the city gate, before they had gone far, they suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes behind them, and they came riding fast, one by one.Xiao Xun reined in his horse and recognized the official robe of the Feilongwei from a long distance away, his head was as big as a bucket, and he couldn't help muttering to himself what are you two doing, didn't you say it's time to give it away?

Fu Shen closed his eyes and rested his mind in the car, and almost fell asleep. When he felt the carriage stop slowly, he didn't open his eyes, and asked lazily, "Chongshan?"

Immediately after the carriage curtain was lifted, the figure jumped onto the carriage accompanied by a ray of skylight. Fu Shen opened his eyes and said, "Why are you here?"

"You still have to take a look before you leave," Yan Xiaohan said warmly, "otherwise you don't worry."

The two of them were indeed a little embarrassed during this period. To be precise, since that night, the mentality of both parties has changed, and they both need time to think about it.The alienation was frustrating, but it wasn't an ordeal.

Because they all know what the ending is waiting in front of them, it's just not worthy of the name.The worst outcome will not be worse than it is now.People have already stood at the bottom of the valley, and wherever they go, they will be upward.

What's more, if the daydream is bigger, they might also thank Emperor Yuantai for his unique insight and the gift of marriage.

When Fu Shen saw him, his heart was already loosened, but his expression was still there.Gein is surrounded by ears, even though they are in the car, their words and deeds should not be too extreme.He said indifferently: "The number of times this Marquis travels between the capitals of Northern Xinjiang is eighty if not one hundred. What should you worry about? Go back, you have an official position, don't delay too long."

Yan Xiaohan said: "If we bid farewell today, we will see each other next year. I hope Lord Marquis will abide by the marriage contract and live up to his promise."

Xiao Xun, who was listening to the corner of the car with his ears stared blankly, felt cold behind his back, thinking that Mr. Yan must not be a fool, he knew that Lord Hou was unhappy about giving the marriage, so why did he insist on not opening any pot and carrying any pot.

In the car, Yan Xiaohan suddenly pulled Fu Shen over, hugged him tightly, lowered his head and whispered into his ear, "Be careful when you go out. It's cold in the north, take care of yourself. Don't worry me."

Fu Shen gave a rare soft "hmm", and pressed his back on his heart half-jokingly: "My heart is the same as yours."

The embrace was warm, and the ears and temples rubbed together, and the heartbeats of the two gradually became the same.Fu Shen and his profile lightly pressed against each other with utmost tenderness, as if for the first time in his life he knew what is meant by "tenderness is like water, and the wedding is like a dream".

After embracing each other for a long time, he finally pushed Yan Xiaohan away, straightened his crumpled collar casually, motioned for him to get off the car, and at the same time saw off the guests in a very arrogant tone: "Your Majesty Yan, don't worry. Go to the door personally to marry the lord, with ten miles of red makeup, I will definitely live up to the king!"

Yan Xiaohan: "..."

Everyone: "..."

Xiao Xun secretly touched the saber on his waist, preparing to rush up and sideline the fight immediately in case of a fight, and must not let Hou Ye be beaten to death because of his lack of talk.

Two days later, the carriage entered the boundary of Yanzhou.

The surrounding scenery became more and more familiar. Except for the withered trees, everything was the same as when they left in autumn. Although Fu Shen was born in the capital, he grew up in the north. Yanzhou was like his second hometown, which made him relax involuntarily. When I got down, I was even interested in occasionally looking at the outside scenery through the small window on the car.

They took the commercial road and passed through large and small towns and villages along the way.At night, the group settled in Lianqi Town. When Fu Shen passed by the alley, he smelled the sweet smell of wine, which made him want to move, so he told Xiao Xun to turn around, and was going to go in to find out.

Xiao Xun tried his best to stop him with a bitter face: "My lord, you can't drink, we have to go back to see Doctor Du soon!"

Fu Shen didn't care about it: "Don't worry, he won't be able to see it after digesting it overnight."

Xiao Xun: "Yan, Master Yan won't let you drink either!"

Fu Shen's eager smile froze.

He pointed at Xiao Xun with resentment: "Which way do you turn your elbow? It doesn't matter whether it's inside or outside! Beiyan is my territory, and no matter how long Yan Xiaohan's arms stretch out, can he control it here, ah? Everyone has kept their mouths shut, if a word is leaked about this matter, I will take you as a questioner!"

Xiao Xun couldn't help but talk back: "Feilongwei has psychic eyes and ears, so he will know if it's not complete?"

Fu Shen's arrogance instantly shrank by half.

"Chongshan, you are still young, and you don't understand the dangers of the human heart," Fu Shen said earnestly, "Between Benhou and Yan Xiaohan, it's not just the two of us competing for the upper and lower, but also the battle between the Beiyan Army and Feilongwei. Contest. If I am still ruled by him outside of the capital, I have not passed the door, and I will be afraid of myself! Speaking of it, how will the brothers of the Northern Yan Army hold their heads up in front of Feilongwei?"

Xiao Xun was stunned when he heard this: "Master Hou is wise."

"Not afraid of guilt", Hou Jingning finished fooling this silly boy, and shook his wheelchair to the alley with peace of mind.

The hotel is not big, there are only three tables, chairs and benches, and a counter.When the wine seller was a proprietress, Fu Shen picked a table with a slightly larger space, and lightly tapped the table with his hand: "Shop, what kind of wine do you have?"

The woman behind the counter heard his reputation and saw his face clearly, but suddenly stood there in a daze.

Fu Shen didn't hear the response, so when he looked up, he happened to meet her eyes.

For a moment, a strange sense of familiarity suddenly surged in his heart: "You..."

"you……"

The two spoke at the same time, Fu Shen paused, but the woman asked tremblingly, "Master, your... is your surname Fu?"

She looked like she was smiling with tears, she was obviously surprised and overjoyed and didn't know what to do. Fu Shen was asked to reveal her identity, but seeing that she didn't seem to be malicious, he nodded slightly.

The next moment, the woman rushed out of the counter, and Natou bowed: "The little girl was rescued by you in the past, and she was lucky for three lives. Today, I have to meet my benefactor again. My benefactor, please accept the little girl's bow!"

"No, wait," Fu Shen couldn't remember such a person at all, and asked in confusion, "This girl, are you...?"

The woman choked with sobs and said, "Seven years have passed in the Youlan Villa of Baoyan Mountain in Huanren County, the case of Mr. Jin's injustice, and it still hasn't been brought to justice."

Fu Shen's pupils shrank suddenly, as if he had been hit hard on the head, his face turned pale, and he paused every word in disbelief: "You are... Caiyue?"

This name was like a hurricane, destroying his stubbornness and obsession for many years in an instant.The torrent of memories flooded Fu Shen in an instant, ups and downs, and pushed him into a long past that he didn't dare to recall and didn't want to bring up.

That was the first time in his too short teenage years that his heart was crushed by someone stepping on him.

——It was also the deadlock between him and Yan Xiaohan.

The author has something to say: get ready, sing: I am a little tempted towards you~ a little bit hesitant~

Of course, "being tempted" does not mean "being together", and the two of them have to overcome the problem of disagreement.

The next three to four chapters are all about the past, specifically talking about how the young Didi Xiaofu's true heart was trampled to pieces.
