wise man

Chen Shoushi felt like drinking clean water from poplar branches as the cool liquid was injected into his dry lips, he swallowed greedily.In front of him was Butler Qin's anxious face, and Cuiwei's concerned eyes.

The water glass is held in Cuiwei's hands, holding it in both hands, almost devoutly.

"Master, how do you feel?" Cuiwei's lips moved slightly, her voice trembling.The frenzied light in his eyes was like a flame that a moth pounced on.It's just hidden deep and cannot be seen by the owner who is close at hand.

Chen Shoushi shook his head and closed his eyes.His consciousness is still chaotic, and his body seems to be soaked in scorching water, sinking and floating.There are many messy shadows in my mind, which cannot be captured.

Heart palpitations, like some kind of ominous sign.

"Uncle Qin." He called.

"Master, what are your orders?"

"Has Yang Zhen been away for a long time? Why hasn't he come back yet?"

"Yeah, it's been a long time." Qin Butler said, "Old slave, go and have a look."

Cuiwei lowered her head, a successful smile crossed the corner of her mouth.

"Cuiwei, go and prepare hot water for me, I need to wash up."

"Yes, master."

Hearing it, it's "Master" again, Chen Shoushi looked at Cuiwei's back as he went out with misty eyes.He sat up with his hands supporting him, and called out, "Xiaoba."

Xiao Bafei fell down and knelt in front of the bed: "Young Master."

"Xiaoba, get up and answer."

"Yes."

"You were on the roof last night?"

"Yes, young master."

"Did something happen?"

"When does the young master mean?"

"Since Yang Zhen and I came back, tell me everything you saw."

Xiao Ba was a little strange: "Eldest Young Master, you haven't lost your memory, have you?"

Chen Shoushi reprimanded: "You can answer whatever I ask you!" Even in illness, that look is very intimidating, Xiao Ba lowered his head and said: "Yes, young master. When you and Yang Zhen came back last night, your steps were a bit awkward. Unsettled, Cuiwei came to serve you, and you ordered her to make a bowl of hangover soup. After you drank the soup, you turned off the lights and fell asleep until dawn."

"that's it?"

"Yes, that's it." Xiaoba said, "You didn't do anything, you didn't even move the bed, my subordinates are listening."

Chen Shoushi really wanted to slap his mouth, but he had no strength, so he gave him a look: "Get lost."

Xiao Ba disappeared with a "whoosh".

Chen Shoushi closed his eyes.He had an intuition that something was wrong.Suffering from a cold?With my own body, how can I get sick so easily?What's more, Yang Zhen slept with him in the same bed, so he didn't notice it at all?

Cuiwei came with hot water, and after Chen Shoushi finished washing, he said, "Master, do you want breakfast? This servant will bring it for you."

Chen Shoushi nodded.

Soon, Butler Qin came back with an old doctor surnamed Yang.

"Master, Doctor Yang said that he didn't see Yang Zhen, and he didn't go to the clinic at all." Qin Butler said, "This old slave has invited Doctor Yang, you should see a doctor first."

Chen Shoushi's heart sank, and the ominous feeling became stronger.

When Yang Zhen woke up, he felt dizzy and his eyes were dark. He moved and found that his hands and feet were tied.

The body was jolting, as if in a carriage.The place where the fingers can touch is fluffy, like a carpet, and it feels expensive.

Have you been kidnapped?A small bodyguard by myself is worthless.Kidnap me, is it to blackmail my family?he thinks.

Thinking of Chen Shoushi, Yang Zhen became very anxious.He is still sick, his illness is fierce, and he suddenly disappears, my lord must be in a hurry, and his illness will get worse.

How to do?

Although he had never encountered such a situation before, Yang Zhen quickly prepared his mind. No matter what the purpose of this person was, he could only deal with it calmly.He must never allow himself to be a burden to adults, and he must escape back as soon as possible.

There is a person sitting opposite, even if his eyes are covered with black cloth, he can feel it.

He said lightly: "Who is Your Excellency? You stunned me, kidnapped me, why did you come here?"

Sitting opposite him was a middle-aged man with long eyebrows, eagle eyes, and a hard curved jaw, but he was dressed like a scribe.He observed Yang Zhen's movements and expressions, as if he had an interesting taste: "Don't rush, with this calmness, it's no wonder Chen Shoushi appreciates you."

Yang Zhen "looked" at him from behind the black cloth: "Listen to you, you are not an ordinary kidnapper, can you let me see your real face?"

"When I get to the place, I will naturally untie it for you."

"what are you going to do?"

"Guess?" The light and fluffy words made people feel contempt and disdain.

Yang Zhen said coldly: "Zuo is just using me against my lord, what a villain's trick!"

"Slap", slapped Yang Zhen hard on the face, Yang Zhen was slapped so hard that he almost fell down, and his ears roared.

"Want to use your tongue?" The man's voice was cold, "Believe it or not, I'll knock out all your teeth?"

Yang Zhen leaned her back against the seat behind her and sat up straight, fearlessly: "My lord is indifferent to fame and fortune, and is upright and selfless. What can you threaten him with?"

"Indifferent to fame and fortune, honest and selfless?" The man laughed loudly, "It's ridiculous for you to comment on your master like this! Chen Shoushi is so hypocritical. He clearly wants to climb up, but he wants to put on a noble face."

Yang Zhen thought for a moment, hearing this person's tone, could it be someone from the queen and the prince?They thought that the lord had worked so hard to invite favors and climbed to the high position of the second prince, so they hated him.

But what effect can grasping oneself play?Forcing your lord to give up the position of second prince?But that was His Majesty's order, and His Majesty can't make the decision himself.

He originally thought that someone would come to assassinate him, but in the end, he was caught.This unscientific.

"He's not!" He angrily defended Chen Shoushi, "You villain, how dare you slander the second prince..."

The sharp palm wind blew, and another slap interrupted Yang Zhen's words. Yang Zhen tasted blood in his mouth, and a thread of blood oozes out along the corner of his lips.His left cheek was already highly swollen.

Immediately afterwards, the man kicked him in the abdomen, and his back hit the seat hard, causing pain both front and back, and he almost spurted out a mouthful of blood.

He tried not to let out a scream, but he fell down.No, you can't show weakness in front of the enemy, he told himself, and tried his best to support himself and sit upright.

"You are absolutely devoted to your master." The man said, "You are willing to be his dog, aren't you?"

Yang Zhen twitched the corners of her mouth, and said sarcastically, "I'm the second prince's dog, what about you? Is it the prince's dog?"

The man seemed to freeze.Yang Zhen chuckled: "Sure enough, I guessed it right. It's just that His Royal Highness's method is too clumsy. The heir of a country, to do such a robbery and bandit deed, really shames the royal family."

The man's face was green and pale, and he stepped on Yang Zhen's chest with all his might, crushing him hard: "A little pet boy with sharp teeth and a proud heart, do you think you can rely on your master?"

Yang Zhen couldn't breathe because of the pain in his chest, he just thought it was ridiculous, and then he really laughed, the more he hurt, the more he laughed: "I have never relied on anyone, it is you, you are relying on your master's influence , doing evil. I have no grievances or enmities with you, so what good does it do you to torture me like this?"

The man withdrew his foot.Although Yang Zhen couldn't see it, she seemed to feel his cold gaze: "At first, I thought you were an Israeli servant, and I didn't look down on you at all. But seeing you now, I have a bit of backbone, as long as you close your eyes Mouth, I won't hit you."

Yang Zhen stopped talking, he adjusted his breath silently to relieve the pain in his body.He was thinking, what is the prince's purpose in arresting him?

He remembered that last time in the crown prince's womb, the crown prince asked Chen Shoushi for him.Could it be that this time the crown prince wants to arrest him and make him his prisoner?

Thinking of this, Yang Zhen shuddered.

Chen Shoushi took the medicine prescribed by Dr. Yang and became sleepy, but he couldn't sleep.Because Yang Zhen hasn't come back yet.He ordered Xiao Ba to find Yang Zhen, he knew that all the shadow guards in the mansion had learned the tracking technique.

Xiao Ba refused, saying that his duty was to protect the young master. Chen Shoushi was furious, and angrily scolded: "You bastard, the master ordered you to protect me, so you will only protect me? You don't know that someone will use Yang Zhen to force me Is it? If he hasn't come back for so long, something must have happened!"

Xiao Ba straightened his body on his knees, and said respectfully but stubbornly: "Young master, the duty of bodyguards and shadow guards is to protect the master. Our lives belong to the master, and so does Yang Zhen. He will die for the master. Yang Zhen would be the first to blame his subordinates for disregarding the young master's safety. When he left, he told his subordinates to protect the young master."

Chen Shoushi was so angry that his liver hurt, and he felt that he couldn't communicate with Xiao Ba's brain, so he said helplessly, "Let me ask you, besides protecting the master, what's another rule for guards and shadow guards?"

Xiaoba said: "Obey the master's order."

"In that case, do you want to disobey my order?"

Xiao Ba had nothing to say, kowtowed and said: "Yes, Eldest Young Master, this subordinate will go to find Yang Zhen. Please take care, Eldest Young Master."

After Xiao Ba left, Cui Wei took a teacup and stepped forward: "Master, please calm down, drink some tea, and moisten your throat."

Chen Shoushi looked at her: "Cuiwei, do you know where Yang Zhen has gone?"

Cuiwei's hands trembled, the tea in the cup almost spilled out.Chen Shoushi's eyes suddenly turned cold, he was already awake at this moment, and his whole body was covered with an icy aura.He stared at Cuiwei: "You know where he went, right?"

Cuiwei took a step back unconsciously, trying to avoid the chill emanating from Chen Shoushi's body: "Master, master, slave... how would you know... know?"

"You look up at me." Chen Shoushi ordered.

"Cuiwei, you should know that there is someone covering you, so you don't have to be afraid at all." Cuiwei heard that person's voice next to her ear, her trembling heart gradually calmed down, she raised her head and looked at Chen Shoushi.

"You're here for what you deserve, so there's nothing to feel guilty about."

Yes, nothing to feel guilty about.Cuiwei said to herself in her heart.

"Master, this servant has always been by your side and has not followed Yang Zhen. How could this servant know where he went?" She spoke coherently.

Chen Shoushi saw her changes, and he said calmly, "You have been calling me young master a few days ago, why did you call me master again today?"

Cuiwei froze, she didn't expect Chen Shoushi to be so careful.

"Do you think that Yang Zhen is gone, you can take his place and become my concubine?"

Such a direct and cruel question is like a slap on Cuiwei's face.Cuiwei's face faded quickly: "Eldest young master, are you... humiliating your servant?" At that moment, she felt hatred for the person in front of her, and her eyes also had needles .

Chen Shoushi calmed down, and said in a deep voice: "Cuiwei, I don't want to treat you like this. I have always treated the servants of the mansion equally, but you broke my trust and respect with your own hands." Did you add some condiments to the bowl of hangover soup?"
