Second minister and thief

This Yu Chi is also a smart person, he never messes around, and when he saw that he couldn't convince Chu Linqiu with his solid tongue, he stopped making unnecessary struggles.

But when he was about to go out, he suddenly turned his head, stared at the indifferent figure on the beauty's couch with blood red eyes, and said in a hoarse voice, "Under the nest, how can there be any eggs? Yu is in the capital... ...wait for your lord's decision."

After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and broke free from the hands that were clamping him, strode back and forth, and quickly disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Chu Linqiu may seem to be sitting upright all the time, but in fact, his hands covered in his sleeves have already been clenched white by himself.At the same time, the cold sweat on his forehead and shoulders also broke out layer by layer, almost as if he had been scooped out of the water.

The moment the door was gently closed, the tone he raised dissipated, and he lost all strength and fell to the bed, and even the things on the desk were swept away.

"Nine Merchants!!!"

Xiao Cen coaxed the door from the cubicle to enter, caught off guard and saw the scene in front of him, suddenly felt a tightness in his chest, and his whole body was unstoppably cold.

After a while, he wiped his face indiscriminately, walked over staggeringly, lifted him up from the ground tremblingly, and hugged him into his arms.

"Jiu Shang?" He lowered his head to check on Chu Linqiu's situation, but found that this person hadn't lost consciousness. At this moment, his eyes were slightly open, looking straight at him.

"What do you think? Can you still get up?" Xiao Cen's questioning voice subconsciously softened under such undisguised eyes.

"I..." Chu Linqiu seemed to sigh, then closed his eyes wearily again, "I'm very cold... take me back..."

"Cold?" Xiao Cen's heart skipped a beat, he hastily reached out to touch Chu Linqiu's forehead, and as expected, the fever flared up again.

"Come out! Clean up these things and handle them carefully." After Xiao Cen quickly gave the order and sent someone to invite Mr. Liu, he didn't care about it anymore, and copied Chu Linqiu from the ground under the eyes of everyone. He picked up his knees and hurried all the way to the upper room.

"Sir! I was fine this morning, why did I have a sudden attack?"

Xiao Cen looked down at Chu Linqiu who was still shivering even though he was wrapped in several layers of brocade blankets, feeling extremely anxious in his heart, wishing he could replace it with his own body.

Chu Linqiu's condition was already very bad. Although he lost consciousness, his lips trembled slightly, his eyebrows raised slightly, and even his whole body curled up involuntarily. It was hard to tell whether he was enduring the pain or enduring the cold.

But even so, Chu Linqiu didn't even utter a low cry, and was unbearably quiet, but when Xiao Cen's hand stretched out, he would subconsciously clenched it tightly.

Xiao Cen saw that a person who always wanted to be strong was so dependent on him, his heart turned into a whole puddle of water.He hastily leaned down, put his arms around Chu Linqiu's upper body lightly, and coaxed in a low voice, "It will pass in a while. Jiushang, Benhou... Benhou will be with you. From now on You have Ben Hou with you! You... don't be afraid, don't worry."

"Sir, is there any other way to make him stop being so uncomfortable? Your mentor...is really hard to find."

Mr. Liu frowned when he heard the words, and didn't know how to respond. After a while, he sighed deeply, "Master Hou, the medicine is cold, please feed it to your lord first."

"...Okay." Xiao Cen thought to himself that it was useless to be anxious at this time, so he managed to suppress his uneasiness, took the jade bowl in his hands, stirred the spoon twice, then scooped up a little medicine juice, He moved to Chu Linqiu's lips and tried to stuff it in.

But at this moment, Chu Linqiu lost all sanity, clenched his teeth tightly, and couldn't swallow obediently, so all the medicinal juice "feed" flowed down the corner of his mouth.

Xiao Cen had no choice but to order someone to help him up, and sat on the head of the bed wrapped in a brocade quilt, then pried open his teeth by himself, and poured in the concoction one by one.At the end, I gave him half a glass of water to clear the bitter taste in his mouth.

Mr. Liu's boiled medicine always worked surprisingly quickly, and not long after, Chu Linqiu showed signs of waking up.It's just that the body is still uncomfortable, and even leaning against it, he couldn't help but sway. Seeing this, Xiao Cen quickly put down the cup, sat down and hugged him in his arms, and asked in a low voice, "Cold?"

Chu Linqiu's consciousness had just come back into the cage, and before he opened his eyes, he remembered what happened just now, "East...something..."

"I ordered people to put it away, don't worry." Xiao Cen thought of the head he had just glanced at, his eyes were slightly opened, and his description was terrifying. He felt a chill in his heart, and said in a trembling voice, "It's still early, let's rest for a while." Let’s go? Let’s talk about something after the body recovers.”

I don't know if Chu Linqiu is really sick and confused, but when he heard this, he murmured, "It's getting better..."

"You! Nonsense!" Xiao Cen raised his hand fiercely and slapped Chu Linqiu's arm, causing the confused people to open their eyes.

"......What's wrong?"

"Do you remember what you said?"

"..." Chu Linqiu stared at him with his confused and harmless phoenix eyes, as if he didn't understand the meaning.

Xiao Cen immediately lost his temper, and could only look up to the sky and sigh, "I, Xiao, have been in the army for several years and defeated countless enemies. Today is a complete defeat..."

"Hou Ye." Once Chu Linqiu returned to his soul, he really refused to stay peacefully in other people's arms. Even though he was feeling weak at the moment, he still wanted to sit up with Xiao Cen's arms.

"A major event is about to happen in Jingzhongguo."

"Nothing is as important as your body." Xiao Cen glanced back with lowered eyes, and after motioning for Mr. Liu to leave, Fang put his arm around his shoulder and said in relief, "Don't think too much, the fire won't burn. Even if it burns, we will I will protect you too."

Chu Linqiu smiled, although somewhat weak and powerless, but at least it was his first heartfelt smile in more than ten years, so he looked particularly charming.

"Master Hou, in Taodu, it's right that I protect you. It's just that Chu..." I don't know how long I can protect you?

"Okay!" Xiao Cen immediately seized the opportunity, clapped his hands and smiled, "Lord Chu, a gentleman can't chase after a word, and this time there is no room for repentance. Before you can completely protect me, you have to Take good care of your body, don't belittle yourself, don't be too preoccupied, and don't... give up lightly. Like what you said just now... well, you must have no intentions."

"..."

As soon as Xiao Cenfu came back to his senses, he saw Chu Linqiu looking at him with a hidden and playful look again, and suddenly felt that the opportunity had been lost, and all he had left in this life was throwing away his helmet and armor.
