Second minister and thief

When Xiao Cen walked through many corridors and finally stopped at the door of Chu Linqiu's bedroom, he heard a weak voice from inside, "Is the matter settled?"

"Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates have sent people to Dongshi to purchase the necessary items, and arrangements will be made within four hours."

"Ah."

"..." At this point, if Xiao Cen still can't react to being deceived, then he is really too dull.So he turned his head and glared at the person behind him, and asked sharply, "Is this what you call falling asleep?"

The young man pretended to be ignorant, and turned his head aside in a murmur, unable to say a word for a long time.Seeing this, Xiao Cen's eyes immediately burst into flames, and he was on the verge of having a fit.In the end, it was the old butler who saw that the situation was wrong and came out to smooth things over, "My lord has woken up and has a stick of incense. I think he is..."

Before the words finished, Xiao Cen had already roughly opened the door and walked in.

"Master Chu, what is the purpose of you lying to me so far?"

"..." The two people in the room were stunned.

At this time Xiao Cen saw clearly in front of the steps beside Linqiu's bed, there was a man in black military uniform kneeling, with a rather strange logo embroidered on his right arm.

"you......"

He met Chu Linqiu's eyes, and found that this person's cheeks were obviously bright red, and his eyes were also very blurred.

"If you...are unwell, you should stay in bed. Master Chu, have you always been so ignorant of taking care of yourself?"

"Of course not." Chu Linqiu seemed a little surprised by his sudden visit, and a look of confusion flashed in his eyes, but he quickly recovered his composure and asked slowly, "Your Majesty, How are you here?"

"I'm going to ask you this, Lord Chu. If your little servant hadn't said that you were unconscious and terminally ill, this Marquis would not have thought of coming to see you for the last time."

"..." Hearing this, Chu Linqiu suddenly felt something wrong. He lowered his head to hide the haze in his eyes, remained silent, and waved his subordinates by the bed to go out after a while.

There were only the two of them left in the house.

Chu Linqiu raised his head again, looked directly at Xiao Cen, and said in a deep voice, "Master Hou, I didn't give any orders."

"Then this is strange. Master Chu, this Marquis does not think that a servant has the guts to block people in the street, unless he has another backer behind him. Master Chu, your family... It's not clean either."

The corners of Chu Linqiu's lips raised slightly, and he smiled silently, inexplicably ironic, "Master Hou thinks, who else would dare to put people here?"

When he spoke, he didn't make a sound, so Xiao Cen had to concentrate on staring at his lips in order to understand the content of the words.Unexpectedly, staring at him, he couldn't look away anymore.

"Cough..." Xu Shi realized that he had been absent-minded for a long time, Xiao Cen gave a fake cough, turned his gaze away and asked, "Then what should we do now?"

"Keep a low profile."

After Chu Linqiu put these four words in his mouth and "said", he immediately acted as if nothing had happened, and said to Xiao Cen, "If that's the case, then I'll wrong Lord Hou to stay in the humble house for a few more days. "

He talked nonsense, but Xiao Cen understood it in an instant.

His current situation is still very dangerous.In other words, if the emperor cannot completely believe that he has accepted this will from the heart, then he may still choose to attack himself in advance.

So, how to dispel the emperor's wariness of himself?The current plan is to admit that she has a secret love for Chu Linqiu, and seeing that he is seriously ill, she takes the initiative to stay in the Chu residence to take care of him.

If I have completely become a fool who only knows love, then wouldn't that be exactly what Chu Linqiu bestowed on him: "Hide your strengths and bide your time"?

Idiot... yes, the Son of Heaven must really want to be an idiot.

After figuring this out, Xiao Cen smiled sincerely.He went straight to the bed and sat down, put his hand on Chu Linqiu's forehead, and said to himself, "It's too hot."

"Lord Chu, the saint promised me many benefits in order to appease me. Among them was a mansion. When you are well, move in and live with me."
