Nine thousand years old [rebirth]

Yin Chengyu loosened his outer robe, untied his hair crown, and went into the water with only his snow-white jacket on.He found a raised flat rock and sat down, just above his chest in the water.

The temperature of the pool water was just right, not too hot, and the porcelain white skin was soon stained with red as the water vapor evaporated.The long black hair was scattered behind the back, and the ends of the hair were soaked in the pool water, like a dense weed, swaying slightly with the water waves.

Xue Shu was on the shore, and neatly folded the clothes he had changed on the screen.Yin Chengyu stared at his back, with broad shoulders, narrow waist and long legs, and then he thought badly again, and said lazily, "Come down too, and loosen the bones for Gu Gu."

Instead, Xue Shu was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, then his eyes darkened, and he took off his clothes silently and entered the water.

Probably due to practicing martial arts all the year round, he is now half a head taller than Yin Chengyu.At this time, he entered the water and went around behind Yin Chengyu, and sat on a slightly higher stone, which was just high enough for Yin Chengyu to lean on him comfortably.

The flowing wind was blocked by the screens on all sides, and even the cold air in this small world became hot and dry.

Yin Chengyu ate two pieces of pastries with the tea, but he was not allowed to squeeze his shoulders anymore, and asked him to turn to the front: "Pound the legs too."

Xue Shu went around to the front again and beat his legs for him.

The obedient appearance with downcast eyes is very attractive.

Yin Chengyu always knew that he had a good appearance,

Unlike him, Xue Shu's appearance is more aggressive, like a natural beast, with a beautiful wildness that cannot be ignored.When he looked up at people, most people would be overwhelmed by the hostility on his body, thus ignoring his superior appearance.

Only Yin Chengyu had the chance to see his docile appearance with his minions put away.

After staring at him for a few breaths, Yin Chengyu stretched out his hand and pulled out the hairpin from his hair crown.The golden crown fell into the water without anything fixed, and the long hair on his head also fell down.His hair was just like his own, thicker but smoother.A few strands of hair were wetted by the splashing water and stuck to his cheeks, neutralizing the coldness between his eyebrows and eyes, making him look a little softer.

Yin Chengyu's fingertips traced his face indistinctly, and finally sank into the water, hooking the belt that was floating in the water.

The wet white belt was slowly wrapped around the crimson onion fingers, making it a little more charming for no reason.

Yin Chengyu leaned closer, pointed at his loose skirt, and curled his lips into a half-smile: "Now that you're a healthy person, aren't you afraid of being seen?"

Apparently, the unpleasant memory was brought back by the past.

Xue Shu pursed his lips, avoiding his gaze and falling on the water.His hands were immersed in the water, and because Yin Chengyu was too close, the long hair swaying like water plants also followed, brushing his palm as if nothing.Xue Shu curled up his fingers subconsciously, gathering a few strands of black hair in his palm.

"At that time, there were old scars all over my body. I just didn't want to shock His Highness. And... I didn't want His Highness to see the incompleteness of my minister."

The two are so far apart, even if they get the person they want, they don't want him to see more embarrassing things.

This was the first time he was so honest except for the time when he didn't recover his memory.

Yin Chengyu's expression paused, and he stroked the old scar on his shoulder with his fingertips. This was left when he fought pirates in Tianjin Wei last year. Although he had already healed, the scar still remained.

"Where does the injury come from?"

"I didn't know the rules when I first entered the palace, and I stayed when I was punished." Xue Shu didn't want to go into details, but only understated it.

In fact, in the previous life, his back was covered with dense whip wounds, new wounds and old wounds layered on top of each other. Occasionally, he himself felt ugly and disgusted in front of the bronze mirror, so naturally he didn't want Yin Chengyu to see it.

He was so unbearable that he couldn't bear to see the slightest disgust in his eyes.

The whip marks all over his back are the marks of shame he left when he was weak.

At that time, he used silver to secretly go to see Yin Chengyu in the imperial mausoleum, only to find that Leng Yue, whom he cared about, fell into the quagmire and was trampled on.He was determined to help him, so after returning to the palace, after thinking about it for a while, he managed to transfer from Zhidian supervisor to Xichang.

At the beginning, he was just a sweeping eunuch of Zhidian Supervisor, but he was not reused because he refused to flatter and curry favor.Even if he spent money, he couldn't get a good job or a good place, so he went to Xichang with his sword.

It's just because there is a prisoner in Xichang, Qin Liang, who used to be the prisoner of Dongchang.Because he was too old to withstand the turmoil of fighting in the East Factory, he was transferred to the West Factory to be a prisoner for thousands of households.

Tan Liang still had some friendship with Gao Yuan, the governor of the East Factory at that time. Although he only had a name in the West Factory, even the Governor of the West Factory treated him with courtesy.

He managed to get into the West Factory, and recognized Tan Liang as his godfather, intending to take advantage of Tan Liang's influence to enter the East Factory.

But Tan Liang used to be the execution officer in charge of the imperial prison, his temperament was extremely twisted, and he also had a little-known hobby—love to flog people.The prisoner was not allowed to move or cry out in pain. If he caught up with something wrong again, he would pour salt water on the wound, and he could only endure it.

Including him, Tan Liang took in a dozen adoptive sons, but only four or five survived.It is said that those people in front were beaten to death by him with a whip.

And he is tolerant, never screaming for pain, and even got up to do errands after being whipped.It was probably because fate was tougher than others, so not only did he not die, but he gradually became the most important one among Tan Liang's surviving adoptive sons.

Later, he took advantage of Tan Liang's influence, and even though he didn't enter Dongchang, he got a chance to accompany him. He rescued him on Danxi Dongshou, and won the trust of Emperor Longfeng, and gradually took power.

After that, he did several beautiful errands one after another, secretly provoking the relationship between Emperor Longfeng and Dongchang, and finally took Xichang into his pocket, and had the capital to fight for power with Dongchang.

As for Tan Liang, he was finally skinned and deboned by himself, whipped into a pool of rotten meat, and fed to the wild dogs in the mass grave.

On the contrary, after recovering his memory in this life, he no longer had that full of hostility, and only found an excuse to deal with Tan Liang quietly.

Yin Chengyu knew that he was not telling the truth.

In the huge palace, there are filth and filth.The life of little eunuchs without power is like nothing, even if they disappear quietly one day, it is not surprising.

He didn't make a sound, but there was distress in his eyes.Warm palms covered Xue Shu's side face, Yin Chengyu stuck to him, and kissed him tenderly.

When lips and tongue were intertwined and breath was blending, Yin Chengyu opened his eyes, stared at his pupils, and asked intermittently: "When a person is alone in the deep palace, have you ever regretted it?"

Regretted entering the palace, regretted all the sufferings.

"Never." Xue Shu bit the tip of his tongue, pressed his forehead against his, and exchanged hot breath: "Your Highness deserves it."

Xuanzang still needs to go through ninety-nine and eighty-one hardships to learn the scriptures from the west. He tried to pick the nine-day moon in vain, so naturally he also has to go through the test.

Whether in the past or in this life, he never regretted it for a moment.

Yin Chengyu saw the firmness in his eyes.

The affection hidden in the depths gradually fermented and boiled in this firm and regretless gaze, Yin Chengyu's slightly raised neck was dyed a beautiful scarlet color, his chest heaved violently, and his body pressed closer to him, and said in a hoarse voice: " Are you coming?"

Xue Shu's throat tightened slightly, his back was slightly arched, his face was staggered and his chin rested on his shoulders, his hoarse voice became breathless: "I want to try what your Highness has saved."

Yin Chengyu's eyelashes trembled, and he was silent for a few breaths before replying, "I'm tired of being alone, you have to take care of me better."

...

The pool water rippled layer by layer, and the water splashed all over the ground.

The wooden tray was moved to the shore at some point, and there was no pool to keep the water warm. After half an hour, the tea and food were all cold, and the small teacups rolled around in the tray.

With his body immersed in the warm pool water, Yin Chengyu yawned disgruntledly, kicked Xue Shu with his foot, and splashed water: "I'm hungry."

"There is also meat porridge in the kitchen." Xue Shu stepped out of the pool, stepping barefoot on the cold ground, leaving a string of wet watermarks.

Yin Chengyu squinted at him as he dried himself off and put on a loose robe.

After tidying himself up, Xue Shu leaned over and picked Yin Chengyu up from the water, and wrapped him in a large and thick cloth towel.

After all, the outside is not as warm as the hot spring water, Xue Shu quickly waited for him to wring out his hair and change into clean clothes, then wrapped him in a warm cloak, and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, take your Highness home? No one will see it."

Yin Chengyu was very tired, and was lazily not wanting to move. Hearing this, he hesitated and nodded.

Xue Shu then went out and called someone to clear the road ahead of time, and then he hugged him horizontally in his arms and walked to the dormitory that had been tidied up temporarily.

After Ying Hongxue counted the number of captives and ordered them to be interrogated and told them to confess their evil deeds, they were counted in a book, and then she came to Yin Chengyu to ask how to arrange these captives.She just went to the study room but was in vain. She thought that Yin Chengyu might have rested, so she thought about sending the booklet over first, and then read it after Yin Chengyu had rested.

On the way, I ran into someone from Fucheng, also looking for Yin Chengyu to report the matter.A few people walked together and searched for Yin Chengyu's temporary dormitory.

Ying Hongxue has sharp eyes, just as she walked to the gate of the courtyard, she saw someone from the other end who seemed to be carrying Xue Shu walking towards him from a long distance away.

She understood in a flash of thought, and she couldn't care less about looking for someone, and immediately pulled the officials of Fucheng back.

Fucheng officials looked at her inexplicably: "But what's wrong?"

Ying Hongxue said with a smile on her face: "It just suddenly occurred to me that His Highness told you to discuss something with you earlier, and now His Highness is still resting, why don't we discuss this matter before we come to His Highness for an opinion."

When the officials heard this, they didn't ask any more questions, and went back the same way with her.

When Xue Shu carried the man back to the house, Ying Hongxue and his party had already gone a long way.

The charcoal basin has been ordered in advance, but it is not cold.Xue Shu touched the newly changed quilt with his hand, and stuffed Mrs. Tang under the quilt to keep it warm as instructed.

The person in his arms was already drowsy, Xue Shu didn't wake him up, carefully untied the cloak, and put the person on the bed.

Yin Chengyu opened his eyes to look at him in a daze, with residual red at the end of his eyes. Xue Shu tucked up the bedding for him, patted him twice, and said softly, "Your Majesty, please sleep here."

Yin Chengyu fell asleep in peace.

Xue Shu ordered people to keep the porridge warm, moved the small stove, moved the sleeping man to the side of the couch, combed his half-dry long hair lightly, and dried it carefully.

The cold wet hair gradually became dry and warm, lying smoothly on the palm of the hand, exuding a pleasant smell.

Xue Shu's throat rolled, his fingers curled up several times, and finally he couldn't help but buried his face in his long hair and sniffed deeply.

His chest rose and fell violently, and he kept repeating the movements of exhaling and inhaling.An indescribable joy grew from the bottom of his heart, making him want to hug the sleeping person into his arms desperately, and pour out his heartfelt joy.

It turns out that it is such a bliss to truly have the one you love.

The previous lingering did not satisfy him, but instead aroused a deeper desire.

It's just that rationality finally prevailed. He knew that Yin Chengyu was extremely tired, so he tried his best to suppress the thoughts circling in his head, and moved carefully on the couch, hugging him sideways in his arms.

Like a beast guarding a treasure.
