Second minister and thief

After a long while, he shook his head with a wry smile, and muttered to himself, "Master Chu, are you really a thousand-year-old fox demon?"

Xiao Cen thought himself to be extraordinary, and no one could easily pluck his heartstrings, but today under Chu Linqiu's heavy breathing, he was completely confused, and he didn't even know how to let go of his hands.

No matter how blunt he is on matters between men and women, he should still understand what this unusual reaction means.

"No... absolutely impossible!"

As if thinking of something, Xiao Cen got up suddenly, walked up and down in front of the steps, and finally sat down at the table with a big knife and a golden horse, lifted the round pot and poured a few sips of cold tea into his mouth, just now to relieve the feeling in his lower abdomen that was about to burst into thin air. The heat flow that came out was suppressed by force.

He wiped his mouth, and after a while, he turned to look at Chu Linqiu who was lying quietly on the bed.

Chu Linqiu thought it was very uncomfortable. Ever since he was carried into the inner room, his brows had not been relaxed. Not only that, but he also seemed to have dreamed of something bad. He moved his head uneasily, and it happened to tilt sideways, let Xiao Cen see his expression clearly.

Unexpectedly, looking at it like this, Xiao Cen's heart would feel as if he had been hit, it was sore, sour and astringent.He couldn't help but stood up again, walked quickly back to the bed, stretched out his hand inexplicably, trying to smooth the wrinkles between his brows.

However, at this moment, there were a few soft knocks from outside the door, as well as the voice of the old housekeeper asking, "Master Hou, the doctor is here, do you want to show your lord now?"

When Xiao Cen heard this, he immediately became angry again. He turned around and walked to the door, opened the door abruptly, glanced at the old man coldly, and asked, "This is your lord, you ask me?" After finishing speaking He took the initiative to step aside, and watched the doctor carry the medicine bag into the inner room without blinking.

Under such pressure, the two couldn't help but sweat a lot on their backs.

"Master Hou, if you are like this, I really can't do anything for..."

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Cen came over with a sharp glance, and his neck retracted uncomfortably in fright, and he hurriedly stretched out three fingers to rest on Chu Linqiu's upturned wrist, calling for his pulse.After a while, the old man's expression became more and more ugly, sometimes he shook his head in silence, and sometimes he whispered, "This, this...impossible..."

Seeing this scene, Xiao Cen felt extremely uncomfortable because his heart was suspended high and could not be realized.He couldn't help but put his hand on the old doctor's shoulder, and secretly calmed down, "Sir, it's okay to say."

"This..." The old man turned his head and took a quick look at Xiao Cen, before saying in a deep voice, "My lord's pulse condition is slow and soft, floating and weak, and seems to be stagnant. This is due to deficiency of Qi and blood. phase, and...and..."

"And what?!"

"Does the adult have frequent fever recently? Occasionally have palpitations and palpitations when awake?"

The old doctor obviously said this to the housekeeper, but Xiao Cen picked up the conversation very naturally, as if he regarded himself as the "mother" in charge of the house.

"He often has a fever, and I'm afraid it's caused by his serious injuries but he refuses to recuperate. Then where did the palpitations come from?" Xiao Cen looked at the housekeeper, but he was thinking in his heart, Chu Linqiu, what do you still have? How many secrets are unknown?

The butler also raised his eyes to look back at him, then lowered his head, buried his expression deeply in the shadows, and said calmly, "Master Hou, my lord, this is the root cause of my illness two years ago."

"..."

As soon as "two years ago" was mentioned, Xiao Cen immediately knew what was going on, and no longer asked, but nodded, "Just tell me, old man, when will this person wake up? Can you do anything after waking up?" An effective way to make him no longer sick? Is it enough to just take medicine?" After a while, as if afraid of being misunderstood, he added a special sentence, "Ben Hou just hates him like this."

Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, the butler actually showed a slight smile, and the eyes that peeked at him gradually became meaningful.Even the maids lined up in the back were so bold and whispering to each other, snickering from time to time, like a kitten stealing a fish.

Xiao Cen glanced at them angrily, and shouted, "What are you laughing at? Don't you know how to change the pot when it's cold?"

When Chu Linqiu woke up, his mind went blank for a moment, as if he had been hit by a sap. He squinted his phoenix eyes slightly, staring at the gauze tent hung by the golden hook in a daze. Clear dreams and reality.

And in his peripheral vision, someone was sitting beside the bed without moving.Because the light was too dark, and the person's face happened to be hidden in the backlight, Chu Linqiu couldn't see his appearance clearly.However, relying on the familiar aura, he could also tell that the person beside him should be Xiao Cen.

"Hou..." Chu Linqiu could barely utter one word, and then closed his mouth in time.It turned out that he found that his voice was very hoarse, like rough stones passing across the road, which made people feel very uncomfortable.With this recognition, even he frowned in disgust.

But before he had time to think about what happened, he felt a pair of hands reaching out to help him up, and brought a cup to his lips for him to drink.After drinking a few sips of water, Chu Linqiu felt as if he had lived again.

From the beginning to the end, Xiao Cen only said two words to him.

The first sentence is: "Do you know how long you slept?"

The second sentence is: "Yan Zhi is dead."

"..."

Yan Zhi, from the fifth grade Zhaohe captain, although his rank is not high, he has a pivotal position in the Nanya Forbidden Army.More importantly, the death of this person will inevitably cause dissatisfaction with Nan Ya and his family behind him.At that time, many forces will intervene in the case, constantly launching troubles, and pointing all their fingers at Chu Linqiu and Xuanwuwei.

And now Xiao Cen said... he died? ? ?

Chu Linqiu pushed Xiao Cen away and sat up from his arms. Due to his violent movements, his eyes suddenly went dark for a moment. shoulders, and Xiao Cen very naturally opened his arms to embrace himself, and the two were very intimate.

"Lord Chu, you..." Xiao Cen said helplessly, "What benefits did the sage promise you, that it was worth your hard work for him? Don't you want to see what you are now?"

He really couldn't figure out the person in front of him, he couldn't even sit up by himself, but when he heard about the accident, he insisted on getting out of bed and going out.Such people are generally either true loyal ministers or good generals, or they are firmly tied by the interests or handles held by the saints.
