General

Lan Jing didn't let go, and still dazedly pulled the corner of Li Xuan's clothes. Although his forehead was still sweating and his body was burning hot, he curled up into a ball again, shivering in the cold alone in the couch.

Seeing his pitiful appearance, Li Xuan felt a little distressed suddenly. His father died early, his elder brother was harassed by others, and his mother was trapped in a deep palace. For so many years, he has lived almost unarmed under the shadow of swords, lights and swords. He must also be afraid Bar?

Li Xuan touched his forehead covered in cold sweat, hesitated for a moment, and finally untied his coat and lay on his side on the side of the couch, and gently embraced him.

"Hmm..." Lan Jing snorted lightly in a daze, but her body pressed close to him eagerly as if feeling his warmth.The docile appearance was like a kitten acting coquettishly towards its owner, lying on his chest and rubbing gently.

Seeing his provocative appearance, Li Xuan's chest tightened again, and he gasped twice unbearably.If he hadn't been seriously ill at the moment, I really wish I could eat him up immediately.But now, he can only wrap his arms around his thin waist and hold him tightly in his arms.

"Hmm... Li Xuan..." Lan Jing pressed against his chest, and subconsciously moaned softly.The breath with a faint fragrance passed over Li Xuan's neck softly, making his whole body numb.

"It's really self-inflicted." Li Xuansheng was afraid of being caught on fire, his whole body was stiff and he didn't dare to move at all, but he was faintly annoyed, who invented this heating method, did he ever think about the feeling of "heating stove" ? ?

The bed quilt fell to the waist under Lanjing's struggle, and the beautiful spring color on the chest could be exposed by accident. Li Xuan frowned, while tightly restraining him in his arms to prevent him from moving, while With a dark face, he covered the quilt again, but his beating heart could not rest peacefully...

Just after midnight, Lan Jing began to sweat. Although the fever subsided, the soft silk pajamas on her body were mostly soaked by sweat.

Li Xuan was afraid that he would feel uncomfortable, so he ordered Ning Yu to boil a pot of hot water and bring it to the side of the couch, then unbuttoned his lapel for him clumsily, and slowly wiped it with a clean cloth towel dipped in water.

Lan Jing snorted a few times in comfort, then woke up faintly, her long and narrow beautiful eyes opened gently with a mist, and directly met Li Xuan's embarrassing eyes with a cloth towel in his hand, his face flushed red .

"Put on your clothes..."

Li Xuan tilted his head as if to cover up, threw the cloth towel back into the steaming copper basin, casually took a set of pajamas and stuffed them into Lan Jing's hands, then hurriedly straightened up, lest he misunderstand that he was taking advantage of others , "You sweated a lot just now."

Lan Jing lowered her eyes to look at her robe, she knew it already.But seeing Li Xuan's embarrassment eager to defend himself, he started to tease him more and more.He held the pajamas in his arms, but looked into his eyes without moving, and smiled in a low voice: "Before Enai didn't see the general shy at all all night, but now just looking at it, his face turned red like this, could it be... "

He deliberately paused, raised his lips to look at Li Xuan's face full of embarrassment of being guessed, and suddenly leaned in front of him to change the subject, chuckled and said, "...I caught the wind and cold?"

Li Xuan's face turned dark immediately, and it was only at this moment that he realized that he was being teased by this guy again, so he ignored him, and just leaned over and pulled the brocade quilt to cover him again.

But Lan Jing took the opportunity to prop up her body, put her hands around the back of his neck with a smirk, and climbed up gently, her thin lips covered Li Xuan's reddish face, and her breath became more and more fiery in the ambiguous murmur: "Come here Let me see... do you have a fever too~"

"It's not honest to be so sick." Li Xuan was slightly startled, his black eyes suddenly darkened a little, he raised his hand and pressed him back to the couch, his words had a hint of threat, "I advise you, the best Don't challenge my patience, otherwise..."

Li Xuan caressed Lan Jing's blushing cheeks, but slowly rubbed his thumbs on his slightly chapped lips.A kind of innate coercion rushed towards her face, Lan Jing's original complacency faded away in an instant, panting under his gentle fu, she was speechless.

Li Xuan raised his lips slightly, turned around and walked out of the carriage with the copper basin in his hand, but Lan Jing hummed softly from the warm soft couch behind him.

……

It's been a long night, but each has no sleep.

When a few people packed their luggage and started on the road again, the dark sky had just opened a touch of bright white.

The carriage continued to go south along the deserted official road, and Ling Feng and Qiu Yang followed behind on the same horse with their own concerns.After walking for about half a day, some pedestrians gradually appeared on the road, and soon, the high wall of Sishui City quietly broke into everyone's sight.

Sishui City is built along the river, and has the closest ferry to the capital. All goods that need to be transported by the river will go ashore here, and then transported to the capital by land.Looking from a distance, the boats coming and going in and out of the ferry add a bustling scene to this small town.

The largest inn in the city is located in the center of the street. There are gorgeous signboards and flags hanging on the two-story wooden building. Lan Jing looked up silently. Doors and windows... Everywhere exudes a sense of luxury.

Ling Feng asked for a few rooms, and Ning Yu immediately invited the best doctor in the city to treat Lan Jing.The most ingenious prescription, the best medicine, Lanjing was originally suffering from common wind-cold disease, she honestly used the medicine, and was put in the guest room by Li Xuan to rest for two days, and she recovered in a blink of an eye.

Although there are no flowers and leaves in the city in early winter, it doesn't feel like Xiaosha. As soon as the sun comes out, the whole market gradually becomes lively as if quietly waking up.

When Ling Feng went to prepare the supplies for the boat, Lan Jing took Li Xuan's hand and walked through the bustling crowd. He didn't look around happily among the vendors as usual, but walked through several streets and went straight to Go down a deep alley.

In the empty alley, there are dead leaves all over the ground, and there are no pedestrians, but there is a faint sweetness wafting in the wind.Li Xuan looked up at the rough environment around him, and stopped in doubt.Lan Jing turned her face excitedly, pointed to a small shop not far away, and nodded to him as if confirming.

He raised his hand and pushed open the old wooden door, and the warm morning light was projected straight on the ground.In the slightly dim light in the room, the old but neatly maintained counter is not far away.

The old shopkeeper stood up and smiled faintly at the two of them, his wrinkled face was full of calmness accumulated over time.Lan Jing walked in front of him, lightly put an ingot of silver on the bumpy countertop, and said with a smile: "A bag of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, no need to look for it."

The old man froze for a moment, his brows and eyes that had experienced vicissitudes of life still had a calm expression, he nodded slightly, turned around and wrapped a large bag of cakes in oiled paper and handed them to Lanjing.Lan Jing received it with both hands politely, and unexpectedly bowed to him uncharacteristically, and pulled Li Xuan to walk out slowly.

"Know?" Li Xuan looked at Lan Jing in confusion, and followed him back to the secluded alley outside the shop.Judging from the expressions of the two, they should be old acquaintances, but they haven't communicated much, and they can't help but feel a little puzzled.

No matter how prosperous the street market in the distance is, this corner is unexpectedly deserted.Lan Jing also gradually stopped, leaning her back against a rough stone wall, lowered her head, and carefully opened the oiled paper bag, a burst of sweet-scented osmanthus immediately wafted away with the wind.

Li Xuan lowered his eyes faintly, and saw that the golden and soft pastry was covered with finely crushed sweet-scented osmanthus sugar, neatly placed in Lan Jing's hands, looking extremely delicate.

"Taste it." Lan Jing lightly pinched a piece with her fingertips and brought it to Li Xuan's mouth, raised her head slightly to look at him, her clear eyes were shining brightly, with a look of anticipation.

Li Xuan smiled lightly, turned around to face him, lowered his head slightly, and took a bite of his hand, the sweet-scented osmanthus cake melted in his mouth, and the sweet taste diffused from his lips to the bottom of his heart.

"When I was a child, my father went on a tour of the south in micro-service, and he was resting in this small town. I tricked the guards when they were unaware, and sneaked out to play alone." Lan Jing also took a bite of the pastry, chewing carefully, Li Xuan deeply The inadvertent pampering in his eyes made him slightly drunk, "But he lost his way."

Li Xuan pursed his lips, thinking that his manner was very much like Lan Jing's style.

"Then I was in this uninhabited alley...well... maybe right here..." He looked to the side, the jujube tree in the yard of a family was very thick, and a few branches with dead leaves came from His head poked out quietly from the stone wall, "Squatting here and crying...then was taken back to the pastry shop by the old shopkeeper passing by."

"He gave me a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake." Lan Jing licked her lips, seeming to have some aftertaste, but pinched the cake with her fingers and brought it to Li Xuan again, "I can't forget this taste until now... At that time, my father The emperor is still here, and the emperor and I are also living a carefree life..."

He smiled self-deprecatingly, but the bright brilliance in his eyes gradually dimmed in the next moment, his hand could barely be lifted in front of Li Xuan, but his fingertips trembled slightly in the flood of memories.

"I know." Li Xuan understood that he was worried about Lan Xuan's situation again, and secretly hated himself for being helpless, but he was at a loss for a while, and didn't know how to comfort him.I had no choice but to gently hold his wrist holding the pastry, and with a little force, I hugged him tightly into my arms, and murmured, "It may be difficult, but I will do my best..."

Li Xuan closed his eyes, and kissed his forehead lightly, his expression was as gentle as the spring breeze in March: "It doesn't matter if you try your best or endure humiliation, one day I will regain this world for you, and you ...Just trust me!"

"Li Xuan..."

Lan Jing only felt her nose sore, and tears instantly blurred her eyes. He leaned softly on Li Xuan's chest and buried his head in his arms, but his heart was full of emotion.For so many years, he has walked every step carefully as if walking on thin ice. Until today, at this moment, when he was nestled in Li Xuan's generous embrace, for the first time, he really understood what peace of mind is.

Ling Feng squatted among the big trees not far away, quietly watching the two figures embracing each other, and quietly bent his eyebrows.Unexpectedly, the already dry branch under my feet made a sudden "crack" for no reason, and fell down together with people and leaves.

Withered leaves fluttered, Ling Feng fell to the ground handsomely, but when he raised his eyes and looked forward, Lan Jing was holding Li Xuan and looking at him with a half-smile.
