Second minister and thief

Seeing that something was wrong, Xiao Cen hurriedly patted his back and stroked his chest, and then pinched Huirenzhong and Hegu acupoints, which made him calm down.

"Jiu Shang? Jiu Shang! Is it better? I, I was in a hurry just now, so I didn't tell you... I'm sorry... If you don't like it, I won't do it again in the future Don't worry, there's no one here right now." Xiao Cen felt lingering fears, he couldn't speak well, he carefully followed his chest while observing the man's face, and there was even a flattering smile on his lips.

"..." Hearing this, Chu Linqiu felt that the anger in his heart was not only not smooth, but even more panicked. He tried his best to break away from Xiao Cen's embrace, and sat up by himself, with a somewhat uncomfortable expression , and the two thin lips were also pursed a little white.

Seeing this, Xiao Cen quickly posted it shamelessly, wrapped his arms around his upper body and shook it lightly, acting like a newly married child, "Forget it, forget it, it's not worth being angry with a rough man like me. Well, the important thing is not to get mad at yourself. Look at your face...it's too scary. Is your heart still stuffy? Is it cold? Shall I warm you up?"

After finishing speaking, he made circles on Chu Linqiu's chest in a timely manner with his hands, and secretly exerted some skill, trying to dissipate the remaining depression.

Chu Linqiu felt more and more tired from being warmed by him, so he involuntarily closed his eyes and fell asleep.

He only had time to mutter, "Idiot, remember to say hello next time", after that, there was no more movement.

"Nine merchants? Nine merchants?" Xiao Cen stared at his closed eyes and called softly twice. Seeing that people really ignored him, Fang Chang breathed a sigh of relief, and helped him by his shoulders to let him lie down.

However, at this moment, there was an untimely shout from the door, "My lord! If it's not good, something big will happen! Saint, saint..."

"..." Xiao Cen glared at him fiercely, opened his mouth and asked silently, "What's wrong with the saint?"

Unexpectedly, before the visitor could answer, Chu Linqiu, who was supposed to be asleep, suddenly opened his eyes.

"What's the matter?" He slowly supported Xiao Cen's arm and sat up. Although his body was still very weak, he stubbornly refused to rely on others, which was quite different from the previous dependence.

Xiao Cen felt lost in his heart, he lowered his head and looked at his palm, inevitably he was angry at the person who didn't know the current affairs, why he couldn't stop talking?Don't you understand your master's face? !

He was about to stand up against the table, but he didn't expect Chu Linqiu to get up from the couch before him, put on his outer robe and go out.

However, he was exhausted in both energy and blood, and his strength was exhausted. He just took a step and fell down uncontrollably. Fortunately, Xiao Cen hugged him from behind, otherwise he would not have escaped the fate of falling in embarrassment.

"Look at you, what are you trying to do? Let's rest! But before the matter comes to an end, you will fall down again. By then, the one who will be tired will have to be the Marquis?" Although Xiao Cen said Disgusted and extremely dissatisfied, but the worried eyes can't deceive anyone.

Such a natural expression of love is precisely what Chu Linqiu feels worthy of receiving.

So, avoiding Xiao Cen's gaze unintentionally, he explained, "There is news from the palace that the saint is vomiting blood from the anger of the East Palace. I have to go and see."

"Prince..." Xiao Cen was tongue-tied and didn't know what to say for a while, "Our Highness, how capable is he?"

"go by yourself?"

"Ah."

"I'll see you off." Xiao Cen couldn't help but put a fox fur cloak on Chu Linqiu's shoulders without any explanation, and walked out walking around him.

"I don't need this thing." Chu Linqiu struggled a little, wanting to shake the cloak off his shoulders, but Xiao Cen refused.

"Why can't it be used? It was still cold just now."

Under the influence of the poison in his body, Chu Linqiu became very afraid of the cold. Even if it was the scorching heat at this time, he had to be careful not to get cold, otherwise it would be very difficult.

Along the way, Xiao Cen was still very worried, and kept asking, "What happened to the saint? Who sent the letter? Will he blame you? I'll accompany you..." Before he finished speaking, He heard a shout and the sound of scabbards clashing.

It was Chu Linqiu's subordinates—they had just come out of the East Palace, bringing along a group of servants, counselors and... female relatives.

"What are you looking at?! Let's go!"

Among the many crying female relatives, Xiao Cen caught a glimpse of a piece of light yellow clothes at a glance, he couldn't help standing still, and his face became gloomy and uncertain.

Chu Linqiu naturally felt the change in him, and followed him to a stop in front of the carriage. As soon as he turned around, he heard a hoarse growl, "Xiao Cen! How do you explain to my father?"

"Yun'er, if you don't go the wrong way, nothing will happen."

"Which way did I go wrong?" Yun Zhaoxun's hair was all messed up at this time, no makeup was applied, and his face was extremely ferocious. He had long since lost his gentle and virtuous appearance earlier, and turned into an evil ghost.

"Which way did I go wrong?! Good brother, how did you know what kind of life I was living in Beijing when you left? You are...you are all...assholes. "Although Yun Zhaoxun was talking to Xiao Cen, his eyes were fixed on Chu Linqiu all the time, and the ruthlessness bursting out of him was very puzzling.

Xiao Cen subconsciously took a step forward, and used a defensive posture to block Chu Linqiu's cannibalistic sight.

Seeing Yun Zhaoxun, she laughed so much that she swayed here and there, her limbs were weak, and she needed a few people to support her before she could stand still. Even so, she still looked up at Chu Linqiu persistently, and after a long time, she sang softly, " At the beginning of the creek and clouds, the sun sinks into the pavilion, and the mountains and rains are about to come...The wind is full of the tower...Master Chu, this signature...will you understand it now?"

"What's the meaning of this? You...what is the relationship between the two of you?!" Xiao Cen grabbed Chu Linqiu's arm and asked in a low voice.

"see once."

"This Marquis doesn't believe it." Xiao Cen looked back and forth between the two of them, as if he wanted to spy on the clues about "back then".

He had never known that his partner and cousin had such a shared memory.

This aroused his strong curiosity.

Before he could ask any more questions, Yun Zhaoxun was escorted and staggered away, leaving only one figure behind them, who seemed to be drifting away at any moment.

"Yun'er... I haven't seen her in a few years, I didn't know she had changed so much."

"She was a poor woman. Back then..."

"..." Xiao Cen looked at Chu Linqiu in disbelief, as if he couldn't believe that the words came from this man's mouth, and then he became alert, "Did you grab yourself again? What burden?"
