The aroma of rice porridge is particularly attractive in a confined space, especially for a person who has not eaten for many days.But at this time, Ren Ren didn't have any appetite, and all his thoughts were put on the truth that he had just spied.

His thinking has always been led into a misunderstanding.

These days, Xiao Tianhong's performance has always misunderstood him, making him think that the emperor cared about him, and maybe he still liked him.Therefore, even though Ren Ren resisted and repelled, he gradually began to believe in his heart unconsciously: I believe that Xiao Tianhong in this life really regretted it and really wanted to protect himself.

Therefore, after the outbreak of the suspected smallpox poison, because he thought it was "smallpox" at the time, considering that Xiao Tianhong would not put himself in danger, he didn't think much about it.Afterwards, although he knew that it was just poison, he also subconsciously suspected it was the Queen Mother, and never suspected Xiao Tianhong at all.But now?Ren Ren's careful recollection finally connects the little things and the unnoticed details together.

From the sudden outbreak of the "epidemic", to the rapid spread of the disease, to the killing of the people in the harem, and then to the Zheng Taifu's mansion, and by the way, the empress dowager and concubine Qian were brought down, and finally Ren Ren was pushed to the front of the people, attracting the medical sage .

One link after another, seemingly accidental, is actually manipulated by someone.

Everyone believed the superficial evidence - the poison and antidote found from Qianruo Palace and Zheng Taifu's Mansion.But thinking about it now, isn't it too easy?Ren Ren believed that if he poisoned, he would definitely destroy all the poison after he succeeded, and he would never give anyone a chance to catch the evidence.

And since Taifu Zheng could come up with a plan to poison and disturb the harem, wouldn't he even think of this detail?People have overlooked that in the harem, apart from the queen mother, there is also an emperor who can spread poison so widely.

——It’s just that this is his harem, and he has no reason to do so

But Ren Ren thought that the young emperor had enough reasons.

Those concubines and servants who died in the harem, Ren Ren guessed that they must be the influence and influence that Xiao Tianhong wanted to get rid of a long time ago, right?Taking advantage of this opportunity, he can not only clean up the ones that were removed, but also quickly involve the Zheng family and bring them all down.This is much better than in the previous life, where it took two years to slowly clear people away, and some of the Zheng family's accomplices had to be assassinated by Ren Ren... At the same time, Ren Ren, the second young master of the Ren family, was killed Pushed to the front of the people, the Ren family who did not participate in the power struggle in Zezhou re-entered the sight of the dignitaries in the palace, and the Ren family could be used to balance the situation in the court.

In addition, if Ren Ren was poisoned, how could the Sacred Valley of Medicine turn a blind eye?Because he knew Ren Ren's position in Lin Zesheng's heart, or Ren Fengjiang's personal relationship with the old man Qin, he asked for help from the Sacred Valley of Medicine, and exchanged Ren Ren's life for the release of the Emperor Gu.

——And all of this seems to be an accident that has nothing to do with the emperor.If he is not too familiar with his methods, too understanding of that person's mind, Ren Ren would not be able to see through.

It's just a resignation, but he can use it so thoroughly.

Ren Ren even wanted to applaud him in admiration—if it wasn't him who was being used.

Can't help but think, is everything fake these days?Those remorse, those favors, those tender feelings, those pampering... He obviously doesn't miss it, doesn't care about it, and doesn't accept it, why does he still feel the pain of his heart constricting, almost making it so hard for him to breathe?

Doesn't that high-ranking emperor feel tired of maintaining those hypocrisy and ingratiating?Why should he be nice to him?Do you want to soften him, touch him, make him repeat the mistakes of his previous life, work hard for him, or even relieve him of Gu?

Ren Ren couldn't understand why he just refused to let him go?

The hands were wrapped in warm palms, and the arms were raised, and were brought into the arms of the person opposite.Raising his head, Lin Zesheng smiled slightly at him: "Without the shackles of the Emperor Gu, the safety of the Sacred Valley of Medicine can hardly be guaranteed. So, how about guarding the Sacred Valley of Medicine with me?"

Ren Ren was in a daze, and sorted out his chaotic thoughts. It took him a long time to find his own voice: "Me? What qualifications do I have..." What qualifications do I have?I was the one who got involved in the Sacred Valley of Medicine...

"You are qualified. You are a descendant of the Sacred Valley of Medicine personally recognized by me, the Sage of Medicine." His eyes were bent with a smile, the dimples at the corners of his mouth were deep, and his tone was irrefutable: "For hundreds of years of inheritance, for the Sage of Medicine In the name of you, you want to guard the peace of the Sacred Valley of Medicine with me, okay?"

Guilt flashed across the boy's face, and then he became serious.

"Okay." The boy's expression changed from confused to determined, and finally glowed again.

After finishing the conversation, Lin Zesheng took the still warm rice porridge and handed it to Ren Ren.Ren Ren took it, calmed down his messy thoughts, and started to eat.

Leaning to the side, Lin Zesheng looked at the young man who bowed his head to drink porridge, and his pity grew stronger in his heart.

Since these days of getting along, he has already figured out Ren Ren's temperament.It looks indestructible, but it is actually more sensitive and fragile than ordinary people. ——The same is true for emotional matters.

Therefore, it has been he who has been taking the initiative and persuading him to make progress to this day.Then, he will not give in silently, he has to let Ren Ren truly realize what he has done for him and what he has sacrificed, in order to force out his guilt and get a response.

He bluntly said Xiao Tianhong's coldness, and also bluntly said the sacrifice of the Sacred Valley of Medicine. It's not that he didn't feel sorry for Ren Ren's injury and self-blame after he learned the truth, but compared to these, what he needs more is Ren Ren's active repayment. , and moved by what he did.

——Paying silently without expecting anything in return is not Lin Zesheng's style.

Everything he gave must be taken back, including feelings.

So, Ren Ren, you can't escape, you can't hide.

When it was completely dark, the carriage stopped beside a small inn on the side of the road.

After half a day of cultivation, Ren Ren's body has recovered a lot, and he has enough strength to walk by himself.But Lin Zesheng stopped his attempt to touch the jacket, "Are you going to rub the ointment all over your body on your clothes?"

Ren Ren hesitated for a moment, turned his head to look at the blanket that was surrounded by him, which had already been stained with ointment, and chose to compromise.Lin Zesheng nodded in satisfaction, picked him up, and got out of the car.

Ren Ren buried his head completely in the blanket, wishing not to see even a strand of hair.In the afternoon, because there was no one around, and Lin Zesheng, whom he could trust, he didn't feel anything wrong.But now, in an inn where people come and go, a feeling of disgust rises in my heart.Being tightly wrapped, he was held in someone's arms like a weak woman, without the strength to resist, which made him very resistant.

The smell of ointment was in his breath, and he buried his face in the fur. The cold outside and the warmth of his breath quickly made the area around his mouth and nose moist, making him uncomfortable.Turning his head, when he couldn't help but want to take a breath, he realized that he had entered the guest room at some point, and there were no more noisy voices around him.

After digging out the boy's face from the fur, Lin Zesheng put his fingers on the boy's bare arm, and he took the pulse quietly.Ren Ren also sat obediently on the edge of the bed, letting him hold him with one hand, while observing his surroundings.

This room is very warm, there are three charcoal braziers on the ground, and the people grilling are warm.The wooden window farthest from the bed has a slight gap to ensure the air circulation in the room.The most common table, chairs and layout are nothing special, but the bed under him seems to be very big...

Ren Ren's face flushed red.

Because his whole body was covered with ointment, Ren Ren didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his undressed state all the way, but now when he saw the bed, he realized that his body under the fur was really completely naked... This doesn't seem very good...

Lin Zesheng withdrew his hand in doubt, looked at Ren Ren's face hidden under the brown ointment, suppressed the doubts in his heart about why the pulse beat faster, turned around, walked to the door, greeted Xiao Er to prepare bath water, and then walked to Ren Ren's side , smiled and said: "Get ready to take a bath, wash off the ointment, and apply the medicine again..."

Bath, bath?

Ren Ren's face turned even redder.

He hurriedly stretched out his hands, waving again and again to refuse: "I'll just do it myself, I..."

"No," Lin Zesheng refused seriously, without giving him a chance to refute: "The ointment on your body must be thoroughly washed off, and then I will introduce poison for you with silver needles in the potion to force out the remaining poison in your body. You can't do it alone. of."

As a result, Ren Ren's weak protest was blocked back.

Soon, the steaming bath water was sent into the room together with the tub.

Fortunately, the ointment on his face covered his feverish complexion, and he took off the fur covering his body as quickly as possible, and quickly got into the water, causing quite a splash of water, splashing all over the place. land.

Lin Zesheng stood by the bucket, looking at the young man who sat down with his back turned to him, a smile flashed in his eyes.Rolling up his sleeves, Lin Zesheng stood outside the bucket and stretched out his hand, picked up the water and sprinkled it on the boy's back which was still exposed in the water.The ointment melted the moment it touched the clear water, dyeing the bucket of water light brown. The boy's submerged body was so tightly covered that nothing could be seen.

Ren Ren trembled a little when Lin Zesheng's fingers touched his body, then regained his composure, straightened his body and let the man rub his back up and down.But involuntarily, his body leaned forward more and more, trying his best to avoid the palm that made his skin extra sensitive, and unknowingly, his chin touched the edge of the tub.

Only then did I realize that I had escaped Ren Ren so far away, and wanted to apologize with some guilt, but felt the person behind him suddenly withdraw his hand, followed by a rustling sound, and then heard the sound of water behind him There was a sound, and the water level in the tub suddenly rose, overflowing over the edge.

Surprised, Ren Ren didn't remember being shy, and quickly turned his head to look at Lin Zesheng's completely naked, strong, wheat-colored chest.His lower body was already submerged in the water, so he couldn't see clearly, but even if only his chest was exposed, it was enough to make Ren Ren blush.

Withdrew his gaze in a panic, Ren Ren secretly spurned himself where to look...

Looking at the boy whose eyes were flying wildly, Lin Zesheng chuckled inwardly, but his expression was serious, he stretched out his hand and grabbed the arm that the boy wanted to avoid, and caught it in front of his eyes for a closer look.The thumb slid down from the elbow inch by inch, stroking the skin: "Well, it's nothing serious, and it will be fine in a few days. But this scar still needs to go back to the Sacred Valley of Medicine..."

Ren Ren only felt that the arm touched by his fingers seemed to be on fire, and seemed to be so sensitive that he almost trembled. He withdrew his arm in a panic, and retreated pretending to be calm.But the bathtub was not big, and it was even more crowded after another person entered, so Ren Ren just stepped back a little and had already stuck to the edge of the wooden barrel, and there was no way to retreat.

"You, why did you come in!" Ren Ren, who was in a predicament, asked a little angrily.

Lin Zesheng smiled without saying a word, moved Ren Ren's shoulder and turned him around, with his back to himself.Before he could react, a silver needle had accurately found the acupuncture point and inserted it.Immediately afterwards, a few silver needles were inserted into the big acupoints, and then I felt internal force flowing in along the meridians drawn away by the silver needles.

Only then did Ren Ren remember the doubts he had before, and immediately put aside the embarrassment just now, "How can you have such a deep internal force, what's the matter?" This level of internal force is far higher than him, even higher than lost his father.But Lin Zesheng obviously never practiced martial arts, so what happened during this time?

"Inheritance of the medical sage." Lin Zesheng's voice came from behind, telling what happened after the separation.
