I've Got this Cannon Fodder's Back

Ma Tong has a human nature, and with a sinking back, he just spread his hooves and galloped, rolling up a cloud of snowflakes.

Layers of palaces and palaces were built one after another, and they were out of the sight of outsiders in a blink of an eye.Lu Chengru picked him up without saying a word, and galloped with one arm on his horse. He threw off the straps that originally hung his arms, and put his free hand tightly in front of Gu Ai.

It was the first time that the chief minister of the dynasty, who studied poetry and books since he was a child, was led to run so recklessly. Gu Ai was still unable to speak because of his acupuncture points. He opened his mouth and closed it again, listening quietly Bitter wind.

Lu Chengru's arm was always firmly protecting him.

The young prince's body was far hotter than the wind in the snow, his chest pressed against his back, as if he had poured the cold heart that was kneeling on the steps into the hot blood, and the blood in his whole body was almost boiling, and the eyes in his eyes were also hot. I felt an unfamiliar hotness.

Lu Chengru led his horse with him, passed the high vermilion wall, passed the overlapping palace eaves, and finally reined in outside the familiar ruined palace.

The servants seemed to be familiar with the publicity of the prince returning home on horseback, so they didn't dare to be surprised that there were more people immediately today, they waited on and greeted him in a hurry, and there was a rare excitement in the rush.

The hot water was boiled and ready, the cold medicine was boiled out and placed on the table, the clean clothes were warmed on the stove, and the kitchen was busy preparing meals.

Lu Chengru ignored the busy servants, carried Gu Ai all the way into the house, and put him on the warm couch in the bedroom.

Gu Ai: ...

That day in the Imperial College, he actually had the idea of ​​going to the rockery to take the little prince back to the mansion by force.

After being carried around and thrown all the way, Gu Ai has somewhat adapted to it. Gu Ai supported the edge of the couch and sat firmly, and was about to signal him to help her release the dumb acupoint, but Lu Chengru half knelt down.

The little prince has been taking good care of him these days, his originally thin cheeks have added a little flesh, and he looks more like a boy in line with his age.It's just that her hair was a little messed up by the wind, her face was still pale, and the straps that hung her arms had been thrown somewhere, which made people feel panicked when they saw it.

Lu Chengru lowered his head and said nothing, pressed him firmly with one hand, and rolled up his trousers, soaked the handkerchief in the hot water brought by his servants, and carefully applied the faintly bruised cloth on him. knee.

The coldness and sharpness in those eyes had faded long ago, leaving only the quiet decline and dodge.

His chest was heavy due to those eyes, Gu Ai frowned, raised his hand to support his shoulder, but it was in vain.

Gu Ai was startled slightly, and looked down.

The little prince was still poking his face hard, his shoulders, which had finally gotten better these days, were tense.He obviously looks like he is ready to be punished at any time, but he still wants to fight for that breath, his neck and back are straight, his eyes are closed and he will never bow to the evil forces who want to teach him and force him to study.

Gu Ai was dumb, smiled lightly and leaned over to hold him, pulled him into her arms, put her hands on the back of the little prince's neck in comfort, and massaged slowly in circular motions.

Lu Deng raised his face and opened his eyes cautiously.

It was the first time he was so disobedient.

It's not like I haven't acted in this kind of character design in the last world, but at that time, I knew it was just a play, and the show was over when the director yelled "cut", so naturally there was nothing to worry about.

But this time, no one called him "ka".

The character design is arrogant and domineering, and the scene just now added 5 points of evaluation points.He is not worried about those father-in-law guards going to speak ill of him in front of the emperor, and he is not afraid that the emperor will hate him when he knows it. The reputation of being a dude or even naughty will spread louder outside, and people will look down on him even more—even though it is clear that the assessment world will live here for the rest of his life. , The current performance will directly determine the future situation, and these small things don't matter.

He was only worried that Gu Ai would be angry with him.

If Gu Ai is also angry with him and treats him as a good boy, he will stick to his current personality and rely on his reputation as an unreasonable and domineering prince to make a way for the other party to go on a rampage.

Also worth it.

Gu Ai rubbed his head, blinked, pointed to his throat, and gestured to him.

Lu Deng slowly widened his eyes and his face turned red.

The little prince who completely forgot that he touched the opponent's dumb acupoints was flustered, slipped from his arms behind him, and raised his hand to relieve Gu Ai's acupoints.Sullenly, she was about to climb the tree outside, but Gu Ai quickly grabbed her with her hand: "I heard that the prince has a grudge and wants to take revenge on me?"

Lu Deng: ...

Lu Deng didn't dare to move anymore, stopped, and followed his strength to move back to the side of the couch.

I have never seen the little prince behaved like this before, Gu Ai couldn't help smiling, and coughed lightly: "Clean it up?"

Lu Deng: ...

The little prince's face was so hot that he could boil an egg. It was the first time that the serious and rigid Xiangye found the joy of this kind of thing, and looked at him with a smile: "Still—don't you like reading?"

Lu Deng: ...

It is sincere to say that I don't like reading.

He never lied, and he could still deny what he just asked, but now he didn't know what to say, so anxious that his ears turned red all the way to his collar, he just lowered his head: "Gu, Mr. Gu..."

Before he finished speaking, he was slapped lightly on the top of his head.

Lu Deng was taken aback, and instinctively raised his head to meet the serious expression of the chief minister of the court who was not serious at all: "What do you call me?"

The force on his head didn't hurt at all, his tone wasn't fierce, and even his stern and indifferent expression wasn't scary at all.

Lu Deng looked up at him, the corners of his lips curled up a little bit, and he looked at Gu Ai's pretendingly cold expression, and couldn't help but smile from his eyebrows.

Gu Ai was going to make a gesture to scare him again, but she also laughed to herself when she opened her mouth. She raised her hand to pull him to sit down, but suddenly there was a throbbing pain in her waist, and she couldn't help but gritted her teeth and took a breath.

"gentlemen!"

Lu Deng's heart skipped a beat, and he hurried to help him: "What's wrong? I forgot that Mr. is a scholar, and I forgot to keep my strength back then..."

"It's okay, let's sit with sir for a while."

Because it is absolutely unacceptable to say that the young apprentice who was accepted was thrown on the horse and stretched his waist. Gu Aiping spoke up, concealed it without any trace, and led him to sit on the couch.

The little prince's previous shadow was gone, he sat down obediently according to his strength, raised his head obediently, blinked his eyes and waited for him to speak.

"I still wanted to train you."

Seeing him like this, Gu Ai's heart softened completely. He untied his clothes and hung his arms carefully again. He sighed softly and tapped his forehead with his fingers: "Why are you so impulsive? It's nothing more than just kneeling down and going over." Regarding the matter, although you have helped me out of the siege like this, you know how much criticism and guidance you will receive..."

"Then let them criticize and give pointers."

Lu Chengru interrupted him, pursed the corners of his lips and lowered his head. After a moment of silence, he jumped off the couch again, supported him to lean on the couch, and continued to soak a veil in hot water to apply to his knees: "I heard—the elders said, Kneeling for a long time will hurt people."

Gu Ai was startled slightly, and looked down at him.

"I hurt my leg, and it hurts every winter. When the pain is so bad, I can't stand up."

Lu Deng bowed his head and threw the handkerchief, the scalding hot water made the backs of his hands red, but he was still extremely careful, as if he was doing something that could not be sloppy.

"If you kneel for a long time, even the person will be hurt, and your ambition will be broken, and half of that person will die. The one who is alive is just a wandering soul, just relying on the rest of his practice, still doing what he should do Then maybe one day, at the right time, I will hand over my whole life and change it to Min'an Guotai Haiyan Heqing."

Gu Ai's heart was beating slightly fast, and the hands hanging in the sleeves were clenched subconsciously.

The little prince stretched both legs for him, squatted on the side of the couch and raised his head: "Is the sir waiting for that day too?"

The black eyes were clear and fell straight into the hearts of the people.

Gu Ai subconsciously held her breath, opened her mouth to speak, but didn't know how to speak, she just stared at him with a soft voice: "Chengru..."

"When I heard this story, I was thinking in my heart... If someone rushed to stop me when I was kneeling, someone was by my side, someone supported me and walked down together, wouldn't it be more exhausting than a person? It is better to suffer alone every day than to sacrifice one's life to death."

Lu Chengru shook his head, didn't look at him again, the corners of his lips curled up meekly and quietly, got up and walked out with water: "Mr. Ambition, I dare not stop, but I don't want Mr. alone."

Gu Ai sat quietly for a long time, looked up at him, and slowly closed her eyes.

The young prince's shoulders and back were sharpened into swords that were unsheathed at the same time.

Gu Ai was detained in Prince Yi's Mansion.

The emperor still sticks to the cowardly and fearful persona, and puts on a helpless and weak posture towards this little emperor uncle, sending people to proclaim the decree in vain, and after being shut down for an hour in the howling cold wind, he gives up on robbing him in public. Shoufu, who left, had the idea of ​​finding her way back.

In the evening of that day, several imperial physicians were sent to the gate of Prince Yi's Mansion.

This time the door opened, and Lu Chengru greeted him personally, and welcomed the imperial physicians into the mansion politely.

The imperial hospital usually keeps aloof from the world, and one day the little prince who obediently drinks the medicine has left a good impression on the imperial doctors. No one would have thought that he would be the one who can snatch people back to the mansion without saying a word.The imperial physician was a little apprehensive when he came, for fear that if he was not careful, he would be detained by the little emperor's uncle who the emperor feared in the Prince Yi's mansion.

The oldest old doctor was well-informed, and he only said that he had already guessed the follow-up when he saw Mr. Gu sending someone there that day, and he was the only one among them who was not surprised.Smiling, he followed the young prince, who was said to be domineering and frequently whipped and wounded, into the palace, and ran out to ride horses with his hands behind his back, saying that his shoulder was not healthy.

The little prince actually bowed his head obediently and admitted his mistake.

The imperial doctors felt that it was even more frightening.

The prime minister under house arrest was fine. Although his knees were bleeding badly, but because he was carried back in time, he didn't get hurt any worse, let alone have any problems.The little prince's arm has also improved a lot. Although he rode the horse and whipped his whip for a long time, he was not seriously injured again. It's just that the splint is a bit out of alignment, and it's fine if he adjusts it again.

The old doctor had completed the diagnosis and treatment, packed up his things and was about to leave, when Gu Ai raised his hand to stop him suddenly: "Old Ge, please stay."

Seeing that the chief minister of the court seemed to have something to say, the old doctor raised his gray eyebrows, and threw the rest out, and walked back to the bed with a smile: "What else is there for Xiangye? Why don't you just say it..."

The old doctor was personally invited back by Gu Ai. Before entering the palace, he traveled around and saw many anecdotes and strange things. He also saw some strange things more than ordinary people.Seeing him, Gu Ai became terrified, but still forced herself to hold her own, and said in a low voice: "Ge Laoke still has—a way to heal his waist? I accidentally—"

"Isn't that okay with Xiangye's waist?"

The old doctor twisted his beard with surprise on his face, Gu Ai's back tightened, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet and nod, reluctantly explaining in a low voice: "The little prince is very skilled, but Gu Ai is not good..."

……

The old doctor's eyes widened.

After more than half an hour, the old doctor left a thick stack of prescriptions for Gu Ai, and repeatedly asked him to decoct and take it every day after returning home.

Seeing that what he said was serious, Gu Ai had no choice but to half-believe and dubiously agree, and stuffed it into his sleeve.The old doctor could not help but take a deep breath when he saw that he was stretched to the waist during his movements, and could not help but sigh softly: "It seems that the little prince is really sincere..."

"The little prince has always been a very good child."

Gu Ai likes to hear people praise Lu Chengru, so she smiled when she heard the words, and her eyes lit up a little: "It's the best I've ever seen... with a pure heart and good talent. It's just that she looks a little stubborn, but she's actually more stubborn than Lu Chengru. Everyone is shy and obedient, and someone needs to take good care of them..."

"Stop it, this is Xiangye's business."

The old doctor didn't intend to listen to his nagging, so he picked up the medicine box with a wave of his hand and stood up: "Master Xiang doesn't take care of him, so what's the use of telling others?"

Gu Ai was slightly startled, subconsciously stopped talking.

"I once saw a horse in the wild. It didn't follow the herd alone, but it ran faster than the one following the herd. It looked so thin that its bones came out, and it never gave in when fighting."

The old doctor lowered her head and tidied up the medicine box, and continued unhurriedly: "Later, there was a horse trainer who raised it. He cut the best grass to feed it, brushed and bathed it, and ate and slept with it. The horses are well-bred, fat and smooth, and when they are put on the saddle, they can fly over people's heads with one pull of the reins, and they can kick over a hyena with one kick."

Gu Ai listened intently, the old doctor twirled his beard, and closed the medicine box casually: "But later, when the imperial court came to conscript, the horse trainer was reluctant to take it to the battlefield to die, so he untied the rope and told it to run away."

He didn't go any further when he said this, Gu Ai's heart sank slightly, he frowned and stood up a little: "And then? How is the horse - did it run away?"

"Horse? I searched for someone for three days, but I couldn't find it. I found a cliff and jumped off."

The old doctor laughed, patted the floating dirt on the medicine box, and gave Gu Ai a meaningful look: "You see him living in a miserable state, and you can't bear it, take him home and take care of him... This is nothing more than There is nothing wrong with human nature.”

Gu Ai held his breath slightly and looked up.

At some point, Lu Chengru stood at the door, holding the medicine prepared for Gu Ai, and quietly peeked inside, whether he was listening to the conversation in the room or not.

The old doctor walked out with the medicine box, smiled at Lu Chengru, took out a packet of licorice candy and stuffed it for him, and patted the little prince's uninjured shoulder.

"But you have already domesticated him—he is already sensible, he can carry you around, kick hyenas and wolves for you, and he is all about you. In the end, you don't even want to be with you I don’t ask about taking risks, whether I’m willing to live and die together, and I don’t even look for a way to escape the danger, just wave my hand and don’t ask.”

"Where does such a good thing come from in this world?"

Gu Ai leaned on the couch in a daze, the pain that he deliberately ignored spread rapidly from his heart.

The old doctor didn't pay any attention to him, and pulled Lu Chengru to babble in a low voice, and from time to time, a few words such as "Xiangye is weak", "restraint", and "the waist must not be bad".

Gu Ai heard this anxiously, gritted his teeth and stood up, moving to get on the bed, but Lu Chengru caught sight of him and flew over to support him: "Sir!"

The young prince held him tightly, his eyes full of tension and concern.

Gu Ai looked down at him, the pain in his chest was getting worse, but he still tried his best to look gentle at him, took the medicine and put it aside, and gently rubbed the top of the little prince's head.

The old doctor retired, smiled and nodded at him, walked away, and closed the door for the two of them.

When Lu Chengru was touched by his palm, his brows and eyes softened, and the bottom of his pure black eyes seemed to be sprinkled with a bright star, and the corners of his lips curled up.

Suddenly, Gu Ai felt as if a dense fog had been lifted from his heart. He lowered his eyes and smiled at him, stretched his arms around the young prince's thin shoulders, and pulled him into his arms: "Mister, I'm wrong, I'm sorry."

Lu Chengru really just arrived at the door, and he didn't understand what the old doctor said just now. He blinked his eyes blankly and raised his head.Gu Ai just smiled at him, and slowly tightened his arms: "Sir, I'm probably a little busy recently. If you don't have time to take care of your homework, remember to study more by yourself. Tonight, Mr. will definitely be with you..."

He has already planned and calculated for the future, and it will be much more difficult to survive.

It is not a dead end now, if we want to find a turning point, we need to work harder and pave a few more roads.

At night, the palace sent up the cooked glutinous rice balls.

After all, today is the Shangyuan Festival. Even if I couldn't go to the street to enjoy the lanterns and go around the market due to an accident, I still have to eat glutinous rice balls.

I don't know whether it was forgot or a deliberate demonstration, the glutinous rice balls in the palace were not sent out, and the palace made them for cooking.The white, plump and glutinous dumpling floats up and down in the jet-black bowl. When you gently stir it with a spoon, a small hole will be opened in the full boiled dumpling, and the delicate and sweet sesame seeds will flow out, blowing a few mouthfuls with the soup, and then Swallowing it warmly, people couldn't help but smile.

Lu Deng has always felt happy as long as he was with his lover, and he didn't care if no one accompanied him to the market to watch lanterns, and he ate to his heart's content with a bowl in his hand.Feeling guilty, Gu Ai secretly vowed to take him out to enjoy the scenery in the next year, but when she thought about it, her eyes suddenly lit up: "Chengru, sir, I will cook you a dish."

After applying acupuncture and medicine to his leg, the congestion has long since dissipated, and it doesn't matter if he comes down and walks.The old doctor told him to exercise more, Lu Chengru blinked, stood up hesitantly and stepped aside: "Does your leg still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore, the imperial doctor said, thanks to the timely return."

Gu Ai smiled, rubbed his hair, stood up and slowly moved his legs and feet: "This glutinous rice balls can also be fried and eaten. When I was studying, I saw someone make it by accident..."

The little prince was raised in the deep palace, and probably never had such folk snacks.Looking at the moist black eyes that instantly lit up, Gu Ai raised the corners of his lips, and tapped the top of his head with his fingers: "Go to study, and I'll eat it for you when it's done."

Reading is eaten with fried glutinous rice balls.

Lu Deng nodded happily, turned and ran back, took out the book and read it seriously, Gu Ai smiled at him for a while before walking towards the kitchen.

Today's Biao drama also consumed a lot of mind, and I felt a little sleepy after eating.Lu Deng was dozing off while flipping through the book, when suddenly he heard a servant come to report that the third prince had been ordered by the emperor to come for an inspection.

Hearing that it was the third prince, Lu Deng couldn't help being slightly surprised, and sat up straight: "Please come in."

In terms of age, the third prince was older than him. He had just reached the crown not long ago, and was sent by the emperor to work below him a while ago.He just came back today, and now he has received this errand that anyone who looks at him is destined to be angry.

The eldest prince was born out of a concubine, the prince is the eldest son, and the third prince is not the eldest son, but he is the protagonist this time. As the plot continues to develop, the prince will go astray because of being tempted by others, and the disagreement with the emperor will gradually deepen.The rest of the princes had already been raised and abandoned by the emperor on purpose. When they thought there would be no one to succeed them, the third prince suddenly emerged and became the new heir apparent, finally inheriting the throne.

The emperor is really mean and ungrateful, except for the prince, he doesn't have much father-son affection for the other princes.The third prince has been oppressed and excluded since he was a child, and if he hadn't been so strong and diligent in studying and training, he would have already become a success, and he didn't even have the slightest bit of admiration for the emperor.

As long as the protagonist successfully inherits the throne, the plot line will not be considered as a major change...

Lu Deng pondered, and sent someone to report a letter to Gu Ai, and then he sent someone to welcome the third prince who was said to be "gentle and indifferent" and "free and easy".

The third prince, Lu Liang, rushed all the way back to the capital, and received the order to come to this little uncle's mansion for an inspection without even sitting down. He didn't even change his clothes, and he was full of dust and hunger.After entering the door to salute and sit down, Gu Ai just happened to bring the fried glutinous rice balls, which are golden, crispy and fragrant, into the study.
