accomplice

At night, the wind blows and the flowers sway, and the surroundings are as cool as water.

Li Xi and an old man were sitting in the water pavilion drinking tea, Li Xi respectfully offered him refreshments, the old man looked up, looked up at Li Xi, and sighed.

Hearing the sound, Li Xi also looked up at him.

This is his teacher Zhang Xian.

Seeing old Zhang's brows furrowed tightly, Li Xi asked him, "Does the teacher think I'm wrong?"

Mr. Zhang was silent.

Li Xi served hot tea again, and said, "For saving him, please ask the teacher..."

"You three brothers, the eldest is smart, the second is good at martial arts, but they are not as good as you. When you were young, I said that if you are willing to serve the court and be loyal, your future is limitless, but you said you are not interested, since you have not been interested in it for so many years , why are you wading through this muddy water today?"

"It's the second brother who asked me."

"Even so, you shouldn't agree. Have you forgotten your father's advice? If you want to be alone, you must not touch yourself at all. If you do this now, it is equivalent to standing on the side of the second prince. Have you ever thought about doing this?" What are the consequences?"

Li Xi was silent.

Seeing this, Mr. Zhang sighed again, and said, "I will definitely save this man."

"If he dies in your house, neither of them will let you go."

"But." He took a sip of hot tea, put down the tea bowl, and said, "Before saving me, I want to confirm one thing with you."

Li Xi was puzzled, and said to him, "Teacher, please tell me."

"What's the matter with you and him?"

Old Zhang asked, but he couldn't wait for a reply, so he raised his old eyes.

I saw that Li Xi looked confused, and at the end, he asked him, "What does the teacher mean?"

"The way you panicked scared me."

Zhang Lao asked this question because Zuo Ji came to visit when the poison broke out.

Li Xi was so terrified at the time, and Mr. Zhang saw it, and felt that he almost didn't know him.

"You and him..."

"He's a man." Li Xi denied.

"Of course I know he's a man, but I also know his relationship with the eldest prince." Old Zhang's gray brows were tightly frowned, and he said to him, "With his face, he can't get what he wants. What's more, it's just a mere heart of yours."

Li Xi did not refute.

Zhang Lao stared at him for a long time and said seriously, "You really..."

"No."

Li Xi responded immediately.

He still said: "He is a man."

Zhang Lao did not believe his words.

But did not delve into this issue further.

However, he still advised Li Xi: "I hope you can always keep his identity in mind. Not to mention that he belongs to the eldest prince, even if the obstacle of the eldest prince is aside, with his identity, it is impossible for you two to be together .”

Hearing this, the young servant making tea quietly raised his eyes to look at Li Xi.

Li Xi remained silent.

But, in fact, he did listen to the words.

Especially the sentence "Leave aside the obstacle of the First Prince".

He raised his eyes silently, glanced at the candle beside him, and thought to himself, what should he do next.

At night, the lights flicker.

The shadows of the branches outside the house are elongated by the reflection, like ghost claws.

Mo Jia guarded Zuo Ji all night beside the bed.

After that, Zuo Ji woke up faintly, and heard some words in a daze.

Just listen.

"This is the only way to use it now. Whether he can survive it depends on his own good luck."

"Teacher, I'm afraid he will die of pain if he can't bear it."

"That's also possible. It's a miracle that he survived until now. Now the poison is swimming with the blood. The only thing that can save him is this medicine. You have to try it anyway."

Will it hurt?

It might be painful to death?

Zuo Ji was terrified just by hearing it.

He is most afraid of pain.

He resisted, but couldn't move.

The body didn't seem to be his own, only the brain was still functioning, he groaned in pain, Li Xi heard the sound, hurried to the bed to check, said: "He seems to be awake."

Mo Jia helped Zuo Ji up.

Hearing Li Xi calling him softly, Zuo Ji wanted to open his eyes, but his eyelids were heavy. He couldn't open his eyes after several efforts, but Li Xi was delighted: "Teacher, he has a reaction."

"Give this to him immediately!"

Li Xi took the pills, took the tea bowl handed over by the servant, crushed the pills and melted them into warm boiled water, then drank them in his mouth, pressed them up, mouth to mouth, and put them on Zuo Ji's lips, taking the medicine bit by bit. Click to feed in.

This move really startled Mo Jia.

He was a little embarrassed for a moment, but he thought, human life is at stake, and he couldn't care less about what he saw.

Just listen, Zhang Lao said beside him: "After the effect of the medicine, the poison will be torn out from the internal organs by the medicine. The pain is very unbearable. What you have to do is to stay with him all the time and help him keep his body temperature. , and the rest is up to him."

After Li Xi fed the medicine, he took the warm water from the servant and rinsed out the remaining medicine in his mouth.

Mo Jia put Zuo Ji to lie down.

Feeling that someone was wiping the sweat off his forehead, Zuo Ji was very tired and fell asleep again.

He woke up again painfully.

Unusual pain swept through the internal organs, accompanied by coldness all over the body.

It was as if the blood had been drawn from his body.

His lips were as pale as paper, and he was sweating coldly from the pain.

The more he was covered with the quilt, the more he sweated, and the colder he was as he curled up in the wet quilt.

This torture made his life worse than death.

Li Xi was afraid that he would bite his tongue, so he stuffed a cotton towel into his mouth.

Consciousness hovered between awake and unconscious, he curled up and cried softly, rolling on the bed when he couldn't bear it for a long time.

Li Xi felt that his whole body was already cold, and felt that just covering him with a quilt was not an option, so he pulled him into his arms and ordered someone to prepare hot water quickly.

After the servant responded, he hurried out.

Zuo Ji couldn't take it anymore and cried loudly, struggling desperately to be hugged even tighter by Li Xi.

The two fought desperately like this.

Li Xi's strength was great, Zuo Ji couldn't break free, and was in too much pain, he grabbed his clothes tightly and cried bitterly in his arms, Li Xi hugged him tightly and kept comforting him So, for a while, I was helpless.

There were many footsteps outside.

Soon, the servants carried the big bathtub into the room.

People came in one after another, pouring hot water into the tub.

There are so many people, and everything you need is quickly prepared.

The servants came up to help, quickly took off Zuo Ji's clothes, Li Xi picked him up directly, and carefully put him into the hot water of the bathtub.

"The water temperature must be maintained at all times, and you must prepare more hot water."

"Yes!"

The heat enveloped the whole body in an instant, Zuo Ji's pale skin turned red, Li Xi let go of his hand, watched him slide directly into the water, and quickly supported him again.

It is impossible for Li Xi to maintain this posture to support him.

However, after helping him to adjust and letting go, he still slid down.

Li Xi had no choice but to help the servant beside him: "Help me undress."

The two servants beside him were taken aback for a moment, and finally, they hurriedly followed suit.

All the clothes were taken off, only the trousers were left, Li Xi sat in the bathtub with the help of the servant.

He carefully hugged Zuo Ji from behind, letting him lie completely on his chest.

Zuo Ji was exhausted from the severe pain and body cold, so he was relieved by soaking in hot water, and soon fell asleep in his arms.

This soak lasts for a whole day.

When the moon hung on the treetops, Li Xi saw that the person in his arms was still quiet, so he took him out of the water, wiped his body, and covered him with a quilt.

At this time, Zuo Ji didn't know whether he was asleep or awake, his pretty lips moved, a bit like talking in his sleep.

Li Xi came to listen.

No sound was heard.

His gaze followed Zuo Ji's eyebrows, nose, and finally landed on his lips.

Under the long eyelashes, light and color flow.

Step up.

In the end, it turned into a slight smile.

Getting up, I wanted Zuo Ji to rest here alone, but just as he was about to leave, his hand was suddenly grabbed by Zuo Ji, Li Xi missed a beat, turned around hesitantly, his eyes were full of emotions...
