Second minister and thief

Xiao Cen turned his back to the prince and pretended to call out a few times. Seeing that he really couldn't wake him up, he stood up with a long sigh of relief, "Your Highness, I'm afraid I won't be able to take the medicine today."

"Yes, yes, my lord has been very depressed since he woke up, and now..."

"Masters are talking, how can you let someone like you interrupt? Why don't you back down soon?!" Before the housekeeper finished speaking, Xiao Cen interrupted him directly and kicked him out, just like the mistress of the house , making the corners of the prince's lips wider.

"Your Highness, you see, the minister did not lie, he really fell asleep. If not, leave the medicine here and wait for a few hours..."

"That's impossible." The prince said unhurriedly, "Father ordered Gu to stay here and watch Jiushang take the medicine with his own eyes."

"Your Highness, this medicine will cool down in a while." Xiao Cen almost squeezed the words out from between his teeth.At this time, he was in a dilemma, and he was secretly crying in his heart.He was a little annoyed that he shouldn't be hot-headed and solve this matter alone, because with his current skills, he is not an opponent of His Royal Highness at all.If the little fox Chu Linqiu was awake, he might be able to solve his predicament with a few words.It's a pity that this guy is really sleeping or pretending to be sleeping.

"Your Highness..."

"Dingnanhou, come and feed him." The prince sat at the table, lowered his head and played with the Yingluo in his hand.

The sharp-eyed Xiao Cen recognized that the thing was left by his mother. He gasped for breath and wanted to say something, but he couldn't utter a word as if someone had strangled his throat.

In the end, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and turn around to take the medicine bowl, picked up a small spoon to stir it gently, and sighed, "The sage is so kind, I am ashamed to receive it."

At this time, Chu Linqiu was lying on his side on the bed, unconscious and unable to cooperate at all. One person had to support his head to fix it, and the other person could feed him the medicine.

Sitting on the steps, Xiao Cen personally scooped up a spoonful of pitch-black concoction and handed it to his lips, but he couldn't swallow it by himself. quilt.

But the person who fed the medicine didn't seem to realize it, and kept stuffing the spoon into his mouth.In fact, most of the bowl of concoction was "fed" to the quilt on Chu Linqiu's body.

He tried to get away with it in this way, but he couldn't hide it from the eyes of His Royal Highness.He could only hear him speak quietly behind him, "Marquis Dingnan, this medicine is hard to come by, so you'd better not waste it. Otherwise, if the emperor blames you, even if you are the son of Aunt Lincheng, I will not be able to do it for you absolve."

When Xiao Cen heard this, he couldn't suppress the anger that erupted in his body at any time.He got up abruptly, lifted the jade bowl high, and was about to throw it on the ground, and he would simply do it all.

"Marquis Dingnan think twice!"

"Then what do you think your Highness should do?" The prince suddenly raised his voice, causing Xiao Cen to calm down instantly.After a while, his whole body was covered in cold sweat, not only his hands and feet were cold, but his heart was also half cold.

"What do you say?"

"What is the meaning of this, Your Highness?"

"Marquis Dingnan, figure out a way for yourself." After finishing speaking, the prince lowered his head and wrapped the Yingluo in his hand, still with an unpredictable smile on his face.

"..."

Xiao Cen fell into silence again, he slowly retracted his hand, fixed his eyes on Chu Linqiu's glossy lips due to the infiltration of the medicinal juice, and simply took a sip of the medicine from the jade bowl Then he leaned over and pressed it against Chu Linqiu's lips, pried open his jaw, and slowly poured the medicine juice in.

Chu Linqiu's throat moved slightly, and he swallowed all the medicine obediently, leaving only some juice at the corner of his mouth, which unexpectedly made his lips look a lot better.

Xiao Cen froze, his hand holding the bowl tightened, feeling that Chu Linqiu would wake up in the next moment.After a while, after seeing that there was really no reaction from the person, he breathed a sigh of relief, and used the same method to "feed" the remaining concoction, and then his whole face wrinkled from the bitterness.

The scene in front of him was exactly what the prince was happy to see.Therefore, when Xiao Cen put the jade bowl back on the tray, he also stood up from the chair, put Yingluo on the table, glanced at it inadvertently, smiled and said with a deep meaning: "Jiu Shang is really Lucky you."

Xiao Cen didn't understand what he meant, and was about to ask a question, but he didn't expect the crown prince to pass by him, and directly opened the door and walked out.From his back, it seems that some heavy burden has been suddenly lifted.

"..."

Xiao Cen stood on the spot in a daze, unconsciously stirring his hands, looking lost. After a while, the roots of his ears turned red belatedly.The soft touch just now lingered in his mind and couldn't get rid of it, making his body hot unconsciously.

He shook his head with a wry smile, trying to drive out these messy things, but he never expected to meet a pair of very clear eyes.

"You've been awake?!" Xiao Cen stepped back a few steps and exclaimed in surprise, the light red on his face faded away, replaced by a mixture of blue and white.
