Honey-colored medicinal wine was served in a crystal cup.Dozens of the same crystal cups were stacked into a tower shape on the table, shining golden light under the lights.

Then came in many beautifully dressed girls.They were holding the zither, the harp, or the pipa and flute in their hands. Their eyes were like smoke and affectionate, and they hooked the emperor one after another with hook-like eyes.

The emperor turned a blind eye to their eyes, and after the last boy came in with cotton cloth and ointment, the emperor finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Come here."

He took cotton ointment from the man, together with a basin.After obtaining so many things, he looked at Zhou Xun who was sitting beside him.

Zhou Xun: ...

Zhou Xun saw the emperor staring at his ankle for a long time, as if he was thinking about something.A woman in a red dance dress brought a glass of medicinal wine from the tower and walked towards him gracefully.The rest of the women holding the wine saw that this person was ahead of him, and couldn't help but gritted their silver teeth.

"Master," the woman said softly, "I respect this glass of wine..."

"You came just in time." The emperor waved his hand when he saw her coming.

Before the woman showed a softer smile, the emperor said, "Pour this glass of wine into this basin."

woman:? ?

The emperor said impatiently: "Oh, don't bump into me, hurry up. If you can't stand still, don't wear such high-heeled shoes."

woman:? ?

The woman choked, and silently poured the wine into the basin.The emperor soaked the cotton cloth in the wine, but found that the liquid was not deep enough, so he said to the other women who were holding the wine glasses, "Hurry up, too."

Several women: ...

After a dozen glasses of wine, the cotton cloth was finally soaked in the medicinal wine.The emperor took the wine-stained cotton cloth out of the basin, studied it, and...

The emperor obviously didn't know how to deal with the wound, but he still seemed to be studying the cotton cloth, as if he wanted to study every fiber thoroughly.Seeing him like this, Zhou Xun was a little helpless.

Let him do it himself.he thinks.

"Emperor... Rong..."

He almost yelled out the word "Emperor", but in the middle of the sound, he was startled into a cold sweat by himself.

The emperor's name must not be exposed here!

"...Ah Xuan." After a long time, he called out the title in a very low voice, "I... I will do it myself."

Ah Xuan.

However, the emperor didn't seem to hear what he was saying.After a long time, he raised his head as if shocked: "Oh, oh, are you calling me?"

Zhou Xun: ...

He suddenly realized that the emperor's real name was not Rong Xuan.After all, he is not a person in the world, so naturally he will not react very quickly to this name.

The emperor's real name is not Rong Xuan... Then what is the emperor's real name?

What kind of person was he in heaven when he came here, and what kind of things did he do every day?

In that world...is he also so kind to everyone?Or in that world, will there be someone beside him who treats him as he treats him?

Zhou Xun broke out in a cold sweat from his own thought.

Suddenly, when talking with Shen Huanju before, a sentence that he ignored came to his mind again.

'It's not easy to fall in love with an idealist. '

in love...

What Shen Huanju said was love.

When Shen Huanju said this just now, Zhou Xun did not argue.One is that Shen Huanju's voice is not clear enough, and the other is... At that moment, he didn't want to argue.It's like at that moment... He didn't clearly realize the meaning of this sentence.

Why didn't he refute?

Zhou Xun was stunned on the couch, feeling terrified for a moment—what he was terrified was not Shen Huanju or that passage, but himself...

How could he, not refute that sentence?

But the emperor... a person like the emperor, he only regards himself as a friend... If the emperor knows this passage, what will he think of him?

"I... I have a little, I have no experience..." The emperor seemed to be ignorant of his thoughts, still touching his nose, "You let me think again..."

"...Don't think about it." Zhou Xun said, "I'll just do it myself."

He grabbed the cotton cloth in the emperor's hand, and gestured in a panic almost like fleeing.He could clearly feel that the emperor seemed to be taken aback by his action, because he had never lost his composure like this before.

But at this moment, he couldn't care about the emperor anymore, his heart was full of waves, full of waves.

He applied the medicine for himself, and the sound of playing and singing came from his ears. It turned out that the girls were playing.Then, it was the emperor's voice: "Zhou... Zhou Xun..."

Zhou Xun was in a mess, so he didn't answer.

He heard the emperor calling him twice, and then the emperor's voice to the girls next to him: "Stop playing, stop playing! Get out!"

"Young master, I'm playing here to relieve the boredom of the young masters when they are administering medicine..."

"I'm giving medicine to people! I'm not carrying people's coffins! What are you guys doing playing and singing! You also play the erhu... Do you want to give you the whole suona to play a hundred birds towards the phoenix! This meeting You can't even hear your voice, so stop making noise and go out."

He said it firmly.Then, there was the sound of footsteps.It seemed that a few girls curled their lips and left the cubicle with unwillingness on their faces.

Only Zhou Xun and the emperor were left in the originally full compartment, and there was only the lingering and rich aroma of warm pears in the air.Zhou Xun lowered his head and quietly bandaged himself.

His movements are very skillful, and he seems to know better than anyone how to deal with his injuries - he knows that the emperor is looking at him, and there may be surprise in his expression that he is so skillful.

The emperor really spoke.Zhou Xun heard the emperor's voice: "How... are you so proficient?"

Zhou Xun lowered his head and said nothing, his mind was in a mess like a pile of wool.Then he heard the emperor say again: "Damn, that sentence just now sounded a bit weird... I, I just thought, you look familiar? You studied medicine before, and then you gave up medicine to study literature?... This is also true." It's a bit weird, anyway...how come you are so good at everything?"

The emperor was looking for something to say - maybe because the silence in the room made him a little uneasy, maybe because he was just plain bored.He wanted to talk to himself.

"Without him, I'm familiar with it." Zhou Xun didn't stop his movements, he said, "I used to bandage myself often, and I'm used to it."

After he said this, the emperor didn't speak for a long time.Finally he heard the emperor say again: "Your family was poor before?...Oh, I didn't mean that, shit, why do I always say the wrong thing..."

Zhou Xun shook his head.

Admittedly, while bandaging his ankle, he did recall something from the past—something that made him feel low.However, he also realized that the emperor was asking him and communicating with him now—he didn't want the emperor to worry, just like punishing others with his own misfortune.

"When I was young, I was injured. If I need to call a doctor for treatment...the back house is managed by Mrs. Zhou, so it's not convenient to pass by her." He said succinctly.

Emperor: "Oh...she treats you very badly?"

"Of course, she's an aunt on the surface, and she's not good or generous. When I really want to ask a doctor, I'm not afraid of going through her hand. It's a matter of course." Zhou Xun smiled, "The main reason is that my mother is worried. "

"My mother is a very gentle and cowardly woman. She is most afraid of causing trouble for others in her life. She is afraid that asking a doctor will make me and my wife angry, so she learned some medical skills... although it is just a three-legged cat. She She handled it for me secretly. I heard that she had a very arrogant temper when she was a teenager, but later she became such a temper that she didn't dare to disturb others." Zhou Xun said, "I don't like her to handle it for me."

The emperor asked him: "Your mother... is not very skilled, will she hurt you?"

Zhou Xun shook his head.

"I'm not afraid of her hurting me," he answered concisely, "I'm afraid of her crying."

He was never afraid of being hurt by the people he loved.

When he was a child, when he was still in the Zhou Mansion, it was inevitable that he would have some bumps, sometimes he fell by himself, and sometimes he fell with others.

The Zhou family always felt that the bumps between the children were trivial things—the bumps that happened to him were even more trivial.Of course, Zhou Cai was different from him. If he was bumped, even if it was just a small wound cut by a rockery, it would be a major event that would make the government run wild and punish those who were not good at caring.

Zhou Xun naturally did not receive such treatment.He's just a bastard.

But the bastard also hurts when he is bullied and injured.At first, when he was not sensible enough, he would cry and look for his mother—his mother always stayed in his yard, reading with a book in his hands, or staring at the twilight in the sky in a daze.Seeing him come back crying, the mother would drop all the work in her hand, and rush to him, and find medicinal wine and cotton cloth to bandage or apply medicine for him.

Mother's hands were soft and warm, but the tears she shed on her body were hot and wet.The tears that fell on the palm were only a small weight. Zhou Xun saw it in his eyes when he was young, but it hurt more than being hit by the cane of his husband.

Zhou Xun didn't want to see his mother's tears. Later, when he was injured, he didn't take the injury back to the yard. He only relied on himself to heal his injuries, and he always dressed to cover them.He has been ill for a long time and has become a doctor, and now he is also very skilled in bandaging himself.

"Zhou Xun..."

The emperor's voice sounded, and there was actually a little hesitation in his voice.

A little hesitation he rarely had.

"...What's wrong?" Zhou Xun asked him.

The emperor was silent for a long time.

"Are you crying now?" He heard the emperor's cautious voice, "Can I take off your mask now?"

His voice has always been hearty and carefree, never had he been so cautious.

Zhou Xun: ...

"I want to try to bandage for you. You tell me how to wrap it, and I will help you." He heard the emperor say this, his voice was different from his usual, gentle and slow, "Although I can't, but You tell me, I can learn, my grades were good when I was in school, I can pass every point, once I say it... don't..."

Don't be alone.

The emperor did not hear Zhou Xun's response for a long time.He even stopped his own movements, curled his legs up, and buried his face in his knees.

He looked like he was tired and wanted to rest for a while, or like he wanted to curl himself up.

"……What's your name?"

This was the first sentence he heard from Zhou Xun who buried himself in his knees later.
