Stand-in beauty favors the Sixth Palace

Chu Qing was speechless for a moment, his strange gaze scanned Chu Tingyue, and finally stayed on his face, watching his expression.

Chu Tingyue's expression was natural, as if he wasn't the one who made the request just now.

Chu Qing's expression was indescribable, and he looked at Chu Tingyue and remained silent.Seeing the sweat slipping down Chu Tingyue's cheeks, Chu Qing blinked and moved to Chu Tingyue's side.

The wind and heat waves, the rustling of leaves, and the chirping of cicadas in summer all disappeared in Chu Tingyue's ears the moment Chu Qing approached.

He seemed to be able to hear his own accelerated heartbeat and smell Chu Qing's breath close at hand.

Chu Tingyue maintained a natural expression, but the hand holding the wooden stick on which the grilled fish was skewered was constantly tightened, and the tight and white knuckles showed his nervousness.

Chu Qing stretched out his hand, passed Chu Tingyue's eyes, and landed on the wooden stick, "Let go, I'll hold it for you first."

While talking, he handed the towel to Chu Tingyue, "Wipe it yourself."

"..."

Chu Tingyue was silent for a while, then let go of his hand, silently took the square scarf in Chu Qing's hand, and wiped it casually.

Chu Qing looked at him and reminded, "The temple on the right side hasn't been wiped yet."

Chu Tingyue wiped his face, the action of wiping his face was rude, he didn't take his own face as his face at all, those who didn't know thought he was washing his clothes, and used his face as a washboard.

Chu Qing didn't know why he was so angry, and looked at him blankly.

"Wiped clean?" Chu Tingyue asked.

Chu Qing nodded, and after Chu Tingyue put away the handkerchief, he returned the grilled fish to him, and Chu Tingyue controlled the heat.

Chu Qing sat on the side and moved out quietly, too close to the fire, and it was really burning.

He walked away, leaving Chu Tingyue alone guarding the grilled fish, while Chu Qing stood in the distance with arms folded, feeling unbearable.

After plucking a handful of big leaves, Chu Qing simply cleaned them up, used them as a fan, and shook them a few times to fan the wind, which was quite easy to use.

He walked up to Chu Tingyue's side and fanned him.

The cool wind was blowing by itself, Chu Tingyue caught a glimpse of Chu Qing's figure from the corner of his eye, and was unmoved.

Not long after Chu Qing slapped the fan, his hands became sore, and seeing that Chu Tingyue hadn't responded yet, he couldn't help it, and asked in a low voice, "Chu Tingyue, are you cooler?"

Chu Tingyue nodded reservedly and hummed.

Chu Qing changed hands, smelling the aroma on the grill, "When will it be ready?"

"Soon." Chu Tingyue said, flipping the grilled fish.

Under Chu Qing's eager gaze, the fish was finished.

After it cooled down for a while, Chu Tingyue asked Chu Qing to taste the first mouthful.

"How does it taste?" Chu Tingyue asked, he failed to cook the porridge, but the grilled fish will definitely bring him back.

"I haven't eaten yet."

Chu Qing muttered, and under Chu Tingyue's expectant gaze, he put the tenderly grilled fish into his mouth.

The saltiness is just right, the skin of the fish is grilled crispy, but the meat inside is extremely tender, well processed, and has no fishy smell.

"It's okay." Chu Qing said, urging Chu Tingyue to give himself another piece.

Chu Tingyue let out a deep breath, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, and divided the fish for Chu Qing.

After eating a fish, it's time to go back to the other courtyard and prepare to return to the capital.

On the way back to the other courtyard, Chu Qing walked slowly, not in a hurry.He wanted to stay here for a while, and if he could delay it for a moment, it would be a moment. After all, after returning to the palace, the next time he came out, he didn't know when it would be.

He walked slowly, Chu Tingyue didn't rush, and slowed down to walk side by side with him.

He enjoyed the current atmosphere. They didn't talk, but they were extremely harmonious.Chu Qing restrained the sharp thorns all over his body, became soft and harmless, and smiled when he looked at him.

Coincidentally, both of them did not remind each other that it was sunset, and they had to go back to the other courtyard and the palace as soon as possible.When the two returned to the other courtyard, the sun had already set, and only the sunset glow was still reddened by the setting sun.

The dark guard had already prepared the carriage, and the two returned to the other courtyard and drove away immediately.

Looking at the distant green mountains and green waters, Chu Qing looked back and put down the window.

There was a lamp burning in the carriage, the light was bright, Chu Tingyue was reading a book under the candlelight, his eyelashes were thick and slender, the candlelight cast a shadow under his eyes.

Chu Qing supported his head and tilted his head to look at him.

If Chu Tingyue felt something, he raised his eyes.

Looking at each other, Chu Qing was caught, so he quickly looked away and glanced around as if nothing happened.

"What are you looking at?" Chu Tingyue didn't let him go.

"No, I didn't see anything."

Chu Qing stuttered, then calmed down, yawned, and changed the subject, "I'm a little sleepy, let's take a nap first."

After all, he leaned on the cushion behind him, closed his eyes and meditated.

Chu Tingyue laughed, turned a page of the book, but could no longer concentrate on the book, glanced at Chu Qing from time to time, and finally looked at him intently.

Chu Qing's breathing tended to be calm, and the tense expression of pretending to be asleep was relaxed, and the whole person was in a peaceful state.The candlelight in the car was flickering, covering him with a faint halo.

While the carriage was moving, it was inevitable that it would shake. Chu Qing was fast asleep, his head bit by bit, like a chicken pecking at rice.

"boom--"

There was a moderate crash, the wheels passed over a stone, and the carriage shook unbalanced.

Chu Qing fell into a deep sleep, and rushed forward unconsciously. Chu Tingyue picked him up with quick eyesight and quick hands, and sat beside Chu Qing.

Holding Chu Qing's shoulders, Chu Tingyue looked sideways at him, and the hands on the shoulders slowly fell to the back of his waist.

Chu Tingyue moved to Chu Qing's side again, his arms were tightly pressed together through the thin fabric of the clothes.

Seeing that Chu Qing started to peck the rice again, Chu Tingyue raised his hand, the palm of his hand was gently pressed against the side of Chu Qing's face, and with a little force, he let him lean on his shoulder.

Chu Tingyue held his breath, looked down to see that Chu Qing, who was leaning on his shoulder, showed no signs of waking up, and then heaved a sigh of relief, and put down his hands as if nothing had happened.

After doing what he wanted to do, Chu Tingyue was in a good mood, and the corners of his mouth could not be restrained several times.

"Who is coming!"

The carriage stopped suddenly, and the scolding of the guards sounded outside the carriage.

No one answered, and immediately there was the sound of fighting. Chu Tingyue covered Chu Qing's ears with his hands, opened a gap in the car curtain, and looked at the battlefield outside the carriage.

A circle of hidden guards surrounded the carriage, always on guard. Occasionally, an assassin broke through the outer defense line and tried to get close to the carriage, but they were all killed with a single knife.

Chu Tingyue lowered the curtain, waiting for the fight outside the carriage to end.

Not long after, the fight ended as expected, and the hidden guards captured several prisoners.

Chu Tingyue took the cushion and put it on one side, let Chu Qing lean on it, settled him down, and got out of the carriage.

The dark guard held a torch, and in the deep night, the corpses on the ground around him could be seen clearly.

"How's it going."

"One dead, three seriously injured, 12 slightly injured. Four captured."

Chu Tingyue nodded, walked up to the captives, lowered his eyes with his hands behind his back, and looked down at them from above.

"Who sent you here?" Chu Tingyue asked.

The voice fell, no one answered, and there was a long silence.

The black scarf covering the assassin's mask has been torn off, revealing ordinary faces that can easily hide in the sea of ​​people.

They were silent, staring at Chu Tingyue angrily, their eyes tearing open.

Chu Tingyue frowned slightly, and the dark guard immediately stepped forward to remove the assassin's chin, and took out the poison from under his tongue.

This is the idea of ​​success or failure.Chu Tingyue thought in his heart, and ordered in a flat tone, "Take it down and let them speak."

"Yes."

The hidden guard responded and escorted the assassin away.

Chu Tingyue turned around and walked towards the carriage. Before he reached the carriage, he saw Chu Qing sleepily opening the curtain and looking out of the carriage suspiciously.

His eyes swept over the bloody corpses on the ground, his eyes widened immediately, and he woke up.

Chu Tingyue quickened his pace and stood in front of Chu Qing, in case he would feel uncomfortable after watching too many bloody things.

Chu Qing was not as Chu Tingyue thought, he suddenly saw bloody corpses on the ground, he was really uncomfortable, but soon calmed down, as if he had seen it before, and he was already familiar with it.

"Why did you wake up?"

Chu Tingyue tried to get on the carriage, but Chu Qing had no intention of backing down.

Hearing this, Chu Qing paused for a moment before saying, "It's too loud."

As he said, he retreated into the carriage so that Chu Tingyue could come up.

Chu Tingyue was getting on the carriage, halfway through, the sound of horseshoes came from not far away, and the flames flickered in the bushes, from far to near.

Chu Tingyue turned his head to look, squeezed his eyes tightly, and clenched the hand hanging by his side, and it took a long time for him to let go, his heart heaved, and he breathed out silently.

Under the light of the fire, the whole picture of the visitors and his party was revealed. The army flag of the Chu family was fluttering.

One old and one young come on horseback, the elders are not angry and arrogant, and the younger ones have handsome eyebrows.

Seeing them, Chu Tingyue spoke first, "Father-in-law, third brother."

Xuan Mingyuan got off his horse, and when he heard his father-in-law's name, he became very angry. Anyway, in front of people, he always wanted to give Chu Tingyue some face, and he didn't show it in front of everyone.

He glanced around, "I am late to save you, and I hope the emperor will forgive me."

Xuan Mingyuan could hold his breath, but Xuan Yuanhe couldn't, and asked Chu Tingyue directly, "Where's my little brother?"

Chu Tingyue glanced at the back, Xuan Yuanhe understood the meaning, and walked towards the carriage, but Chu Tingyue blocked the way.

"Get out of the way." The anger in Xuan Yuanhe's voice could not be suppressed, and he blamed Chu Tingyue for all the reasons for Chu Qing's accident.

Chu Tingyue did not move, standing tall and straight, standing in front of Xuan Yuanhe, lowering his voice, "He can't recognize you now, and your appearance will probably irritate him. If he is irritated again, what will be the consequences?" ... I wrote it very clearly in the letter. Appearing in front of him too suddenly, with excessive emotions, is inappropriate."

Xuan Yuanhe grabbed Chu Tingyue's lapel, "Don't think that I don't know what kind of tricks you are trying to play. At the beginning, you couldn't tolerate others in my younger brother's eyes. Take this opportunity and you want to satisfy your dirty desires. Don't think about it." !"

Xuan Yuanhe threw off Chu Tingyue and walked towards the carriage, but his arm was caught, and he couldn't break free at all, "Father! You—"

Xuan Mingyuan gave him a warning look, Xuan Yuanhe shut up and turned his head aside, fearing that he would get angry if he looked at Chu Tingyue too much.

"How are you doing?" Su Mingyuan asked.

Chu Tingyue's thin lips parted slightly, but before he could say anything, the general's wife Yang Yunxiu, who was a step behind in the carriage, arrived.

As soon as the carriage stopped, she couldn't wait to jump out of the carriage, went straight to Chu Tingyue, grabbed his arm, her eyes were red, "Your Majesty, where is my son..."

Chu Qing kept listening to the lowered voices outside, the angry and calm voices sounded alternately, as if he was talking about something very important, but he didn't hear clearly when he pricked up his ears.

But in the end, he heard the woman's voice clearly.

My son?

Chu Qing muttered these two words in his heart, and the tip of his heart seemed to be caressed by a feather. Unbearable doubts made him push open the window, revealing a gap, and looking through it.

In the silence of the night, the four of them faced each other silently, and the soft sound of the window being pushed open attracted their attention.

Chu Qing met four pairs of eyes without warning, three of which belonged to strangers with weird emotions.

He looked at the three of them, his eyes swept across their faces, and he was slightly stunned.
