Second minister and thief

"..." Chu Linqiu was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then said after a while, "You and I are not married yet, so it doesn't suit the etiquette."

"What happened after that?"

"But according to Lord Hou's orders."

Seeing that he was so obedient, Xiao Cen had a bad intention for a moment, wanting to see the embarrassment on his handsome face.So he suddenly said, "Jiu Shang, you and I are going to be married sooner or later, why bother to have such a relationship? Lord Hou, I don't know, I thought how the Lord forced you."

"..." Chu Linqiu shuddered when he heard this intimate address and joke, and was speechless for a long time.He suddenly opened his eyes wide and stared at Xiao Cen, he couldn't help wondering if this was an illusion produced by his high fever and drowsiness.

But even if he was sick, he never wanted to be left behind, so he immediately followed the good advice, "Listen to Xiao Cen."

He didn't give him any time to react, causing Xiao Cen's smile to froze on his face.

His hand was still on Chu Linqiu's forehead, he didn't know whether he should let it go, after a while he shook his head and sighed, "It seems that I'm really not suitable for this kind of thing."

As soon as the words fell, a slightly old voice came from outside the door, "My lord, there are people coming from the palace."

"..."

The two looked at each other.Xiao Cen's breath was stagnant, and he grabbed Chu Linqiu's wrist with his other hand, with great strength, and he did not let go for a long time.

Chu Linqiu frowned in pain, his expression was a little painful, his body seemed unable to support himself, and he fell sideways to Xiao Cen's shoulder.But he didn't say anything, just tilted his head slightly, looking quietly at the person sitting beside him.Although there were no other movements, there was a natural sense of oppression, especially his gaze, which seemed to penetrate the body of a person, which made General Xiao feel a little uncomfortable, and wanted to escape from this place.

So, he suddenly pushed him away like a little beast whose tail had been stepped on, and felt uncomfortable after a while, so he helped him back and carefully placed him on the pillow.

"Master Chu, I have wronged you."

After finishing speaking, he quickly got up and opened the door, deliberately lowered his voice and said to the person at the door, "Your lord is tired and is resting. Is someone from the palace here? This Marquis is going out to see him."

"Yes..." The old butler hesitated a little.

"Who is it? Xiao Cen is a little confused, he can guess from his expression that this person must have a lot of background.

"Yes...it's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"What did you say?" Xiao Cen couldn't believe his ears, he raised his hand and pressed his forehead, and asked softly, "His Royal Highness came in person?"

As soon as the words fell, the two saw a figure in apricot-colored uniform suddenly appearing at the end of the corridor, accompanied by hearty laughter, "Hahaha! I came to see Jiushang alone, I didn't expect Dingnanhou to be there!" said Well, he raised his eyebrows slightly.

Five steps away from the crown prince, stood a young man with low brow and pleasing eyes.The young man carefully held a tray with a small and crystal clear jade bowl in his hands, obviously he came prepared.

Seeing this, Xiao Cen's heart skipped a beat, and he felt that this person was not kind.He secretly cast his eyes on the jade bowl, blocked the door unobtrusively, and then said with a smile, "Your Highness is unlucky to come today, Jiu...Master Chu has already fallen asleep."

"Oh, what should I do?" His Royal Highness tilted his head slightly annoyed, and only smiled shortly when he heard the word "nine", with an unknown light flashing in his eyes.

"Gu came here this time, at the order of his father, to bring the decoction brewed by the master himself, to be taken by Jiushang. Looking at it now, Gu can't go back and return to his life." Even though he said so, the face There was no look of worry on his face.Seeing it in Xiao Cen's eyes, Xiao Cen felt even more uncomfortable.

"Master? Who is the master?"

"Don't Marquis Dingnan know? It's Master Kongchen from Baiyin Temple. That's right, you have lived in Mobei for a long time, so naturally you have never heard of the name 'National Teacher'."

"National teacher?!" Xiao Cen was shocked when he heard the words, and thought to himself that although he was devoted to fighting and not asking about court affairs, he had heard the lieutenant mention in his spare time that there were more wandering monks in the capital overnight. False proverbs easily made the heads of several great families into the guests of the curtain, and even made the current emperor obey their words.

It can be seen that this master is not a good person.Then, can he safely give Chu Linqiu the medicinal juice that he brewed himself?

Xiao Cen's expression fluctuated, his lips were slightly pursed, his gaze was always fixed on the steaming jade bowl.

"Marquis Dingnan? Marquis Dingnan? If you don't let Gu go in again, the medicine will go cold." His Royal Highness seemed to have lost his patience suddenly.He raised his hand and lightly pressed Xiao Cen's shoulder, pushed him aside and walked in first.

"..." Xiao Cen lost his mind for a moment and was caught by him, so he stood behind and watched coldly for a while, then followed in after a while, walked to the bedside, leaned over and whispered, "Jiu Shang? Jiu Shang? business?"

Chu Linqiu lay quietly on the bed, his face was flushed, his eyes were closed tightly, and he didn't respond to his call at all, as if he had fallen asleep again.
