Second minister and thief

"However... Maybe Liu Jin's mentor can find a way to solve it. It's just that his old man travels all over the world and his whereabouts are uncertain. Master Hou wants someone to find... I'm afraid it will take some effort."

"This Marquis doesn't care. As long as I can save Jiushang, even if there is only a chance of life, I will never give up. By the way, sir, when will people wake up? How good is it that you are always so unconscious and can't get in?" For a while, the distress in Xiao Cen's eyes could not be hidden, it was almost overflowing, so that he rarely appeared in the form of Liushen Wuzhu.

Mr. Liu saw all this in his eyes, and shook his head in disapproval, but he couldn't say anything, so he could only sigh slightly and continue his actions.He calmly pulled out the cold silver needles from Chu Linqiu's body one by one, and placed them on the handkerchief beside him.

Chu Linqiu seemed to be in unbearable pain, his body would twitch from time to time, and the frown between his brows never let go, Xiao Cen couldn't help but sat down beside him, and grasped his powerless slightly curled up hand.

"Jiu Shang? Jiu Shang? Can you hear me? Mr. Liu! Quickly see if he is in pain!" Xiao Cen's pupils shrank slightly, and suddenly stretched out his hands to hug his shoulders, trying to stop him from twitching.But with little success.Chu Linqiu still seemed to be enduring some great pain, his hands and feet would twitch from time to time, and in the end, he even curled up his whole body.

Xiao Cen gritted his teeth and hugged his upper body into his arms, and kept comforting him, "Don't move...it will be fine soon...Jiu Shang? But it's cold? Come on! Burn the earth dragon in the house Some! Sir, you should think of a way to stop making him feel so uncomfortable..."

In fact, Xiao Cen is not the only one who is anxious?Mr. Liu also frowned, looked at Chu Linqiu's eyelids, and took his pulse again, but the conclusion he came to was not optimistic.At the same time, he was also secretly amazed at Chu Linqiu's super endurance.From the beginning to the end, except for the fact that this person would hum unconsciously when he was in severe pain, the rest of the time he quietly nestled in Xiao Cen's arms, clenched his teeth and trembled from time to time.Mr. Liu had no choice but to pierce Chu Linqiu's acupoints all over his body with silver needles under Xiao Cen's murderous gaze, sealing his retrograde meridians, trying to make him feel better.

Just at this time, the door was knocked again, and a servant came in lightly with a tray in his hand.

"Master, the medicine is ready, do you want to feed it to the adults later or..."

"Quickly put it!" Xiao Cen took the jade bowl from him as if he had seen a savior, and without thinking about it, he raised his head and took a sip, and then, regardless of the presence of outsiders, he slowly fed the concoction to him. Chu Linqiu.

Chu Linqiu was unconscious, and couldn't swallow freely at all. Therefore, most of the ink-colored concoction that was fed flowed down the corners of his mouth, and only a little went into his stomach.

Fortunately, Mr. Liu had already anticipated this situation before, and specially ordered people to boil a few more bowls for preparation.So Xiao Cen tirelessly poured the medicinal juice into Chu Linqiu's mouth continuously, and every time someone swallowed some, he would stop to observe his expression.

Finally, after the bottom of the fourth bowl, Chu Linqiu's complexion finally showed a tinge of humanity, not as gray as before, and his lips were much moister due to the nourishment of the medicinal juice.Seeing this scene, Xiao Cen's high-spirited heart finally came to fruition.

After another quarter of an hour passed like this, Chu Linqiu gasped for a few times, struggled to open his eyelids, and "looked" at the anxious face in front of him with a little bewilderment.

"I……"

"Jiu Shang, don't talk too much!" Xiao Cen slowly helped him back to the bed, put his hand on the acupuncture point between his two fingers and kept kneading, trying to keep him clear.

Although he felt distressed, he also knew to some extent that this was not the time for wanton drowsiness.The situation outside is still unclear, as long as the case remains unsolved, there will be a few more innocent souls in the capital.Under such circumstances, as the direct investigator of the case, Chu Linqiu not only had to stay awake at all times, but even had to do it himself to control the overall situation.

In the short time since he was brought back from the palace, several waves of people came to see him, but they were all rejected by Xiao Cen.But it is obviously unreasonable to stop him from seeing him right now.

"Jiu Shang, can you hear me? Don't say it, listen to me." Seeing that Chu Linqiu gasped again, he seemed to open his mouth to speak, and quickly reached out to stroke his chest for him, stopping him .

"I'll have some ginseng soup later, okay? Mr. Liu said that your breath is too weak, and you need to hang yourself with 500-year-old ginseng to stay awake. If you promise me to talk less and listen more, you won't meet them for more than a quarter of an hour. I will let them in. In addition, in addition, I need to pay attention to your situation, it is best to let me hold you!" Xiao Cen quickly said these words, and then he lowered his head to observe Chu Linqiu's face, he saw The man didn't object, but closed his eyes and nodded his head lightly, then waved back and ordered the servant to come up with a tray again.

"Master Hou..." Chu Linqiu suddenly opened his eyes, and raised his hand to pinch Xiao Cen's wrist so that he could not move.

Xiao Cen had no choice but to put down the bowl, touched his cold side face and asked softly, "What's wrong? But where is it uncomfortable?"

"I want to go outside..."

"Do you think the smell of medicine here is too strong?"

"..."

"I don't want them to see you like this? But, can you hold on?"

Xiao Cen made two guesses casually, and both of them hit Chu Linqiu's mind. It has to be said that apart from being naive at times, he is also a transparent person at times.

"..."

"Okay, then I'll help you get dressed."

This means that Chu Linqiu was in a daze and didn't care about all this, otherwise, how could he allow himself to be naked in full view of the public, and even be hugged by Xiao Cen?I'm afraid I will lose my temper a lot, right?

After Xiao Cen got his approval, he changed the outer clothes for him as quickly as possible, helped him to sit on the bedside, and personally fed him with ginseng soup.

Perhaps it was because of both acupuncture and medicine that Chu Linqiu's spirit seemed to be much better than before, and he also had some strength in his body, and he could even sit alone for a while without the support of others.So when he was moved to the beauty bed outside as he wished, he refused to let Xiao Cen embrace him from behind.

This made Xiao Cen very upset, but there was nothing he could do, because at this moment, Xuanwuwei and the others were brought in by the servants.The one who walked in front was the boy who was driving the car earlier.

Seeing the extremely weak Chu Linqiu, the boy knelt down in front of the couch and shouted, "My lord! Who dared to attack you? Go down and kill him!"
