Mei Shao's injury hadn't healed yet, and when he returned to the capital, he sat in a carriage with Bai Bingchen.

It was very different from the tit-for-tat confrontation when they came. On the way back, there was a long-lost peace between Mei Shao and Bai Bingchen.

During the turbulent journey, although Mei Shao's injury was not fully healed, he only suffered some physical pain, but Bai Bingchen's whole body quickly weakened, and he fell asleep leaning against the wall of the carriage sickly for most of the day on the road.

Sleeping like this all day long, Bai Bingchen became even more lazy to move, and his three meals a day could be reduced to one or two meals, and he couldn't eat a few mouthfuls at each meal. One or two hours of sobriety.

Mei Shao never thought that his body would be so weak that he couldn't even stand a little bump, and it hurt to see him.

He clearly remembered that he used to have a strong taste and liked spicy sauce, but now that he had eaten at the same table for a few days, Mei Shao noticed that not only did he eat a small amount, he didn't even touch meat, it was very bland.

Bai Bingchen leaned against the carriage wall and closed his eyes. He didn't sleep deeply. He seemed to feel the bumps of the carriage, and frowned slightly involuntarily.

Even if he was in an extremely uncomfortable situation, he was peaceful when he fell asleep, with his hands folded on his knees, his head tilted slightly to one side, and he didn't move a bit along the way.

Mei Shao gently sat beside him, from where he was sitting, one could just see his thin side face.

Faintly, infinite remorse arose in his heart, it didn't fall around his head, but spread out from Mei Shao's heart bit by bit, like a tangled spider thread, entwining him tightly.

He stretched out his hand, and gently traced the eyebrow arch of the person in front of him, and then traced along his angular profile to the corner of his mouth.

Bai Bingchen's lips were originally pale and thin, but at this moment, because he stayed in the closed carriage for a long time, his lips and cheeks were stained red, and his whole body was wrapped in a decadent and hot breath, which was completely different from his usual The gentle but alienated temperament, on the contrary, adds a sense of weakness that makes people feel pity.

Mei Shao's eyes darkened for a moment, and she had already pressed his lips without thinking.

The fingers are soft and soft, very much like his current soft and soft appearance.

Mei Shao sighed softly, took him into her arms, supported his head, and slowly laid him flat so that his head just rested on her lap.

During the movement, Bai Bingchen's leg touched the inner wall of the carriage, and there was a muffled sound of a hard object colliding.

Mei Shao was stunned for a moment, with unknown emotions surging in his eyes, he pursed his lips, and still leaned towards his ankles.

The place that he branded retaliatoryly, through the thin summer shoes and socks, can still clearly touch the texture of silverware.

Bai Bingchen didn't take off the silver ring that he personally poured on it.

Mei Shao looked at the person who was resting on her lap, he didn't take half a step beyond the rules, he kept the etiquette in his dreams, even though he looked like he was in a nightmare, his brows were wrinkled, and his hands were clenched unconsciously, He didn't even touch the corner of Mei Shao's clothes.

He endured the pain alone, but he did not inflict half of it on others.

At this moment, Mei Shao's heartbroken distress turned into deep powerlessness and self-blame.

He wanted to smooth Bai Bingchen's tightly clenched hands and let him hold his own to resist the discomfort in his dream, but he retracted the moment he touched Bai Bingchen's fingers.

Since returning to the capital, it was his own hands that held his slender ankles and branded them with indelible scars. It was also these hands that grabbed his neck and pushed him to the bottom of the water without any hesitation.

Mei Shao even had an illusion, as if he was left with terrible wounds wherever he was touched, as long as she got close to him, it would bring him indelible damage.

Mei Shao didn't dare to touch him any more, so he just stayed still in this position, he really felt ashamed and regretful.

Putting her hands together, not knowing where to put them so as not to disturb him, Mei Shao showed a bit of embarrassment and helplessness.

His hands were hanging by his sides in an extremely uncoordinated way, trembling slightly, keeping them away from the person on his lap.

The regret and heartache that swept over almost swallowed Mei Shao. He hated Bai Bingchen for six years, and he never wanted to put him to death. He even killed him several times by himself. Bai Bingchen died and completely disappeared in the world. He thought that his revenge was avenged and that he was satisfied. He didn't even know the truth in his whole life. Body, hoping to protect myself for the rest of my life.

After Bai Bingchen died, he would be heartless.Live the rest of my life happily and confusedly.

What a sad and pathetic life that must have been.

Maybe he should really hate Bai Bingchen, hate him for not telling him anything, hate him for carrying everything alone, hate him for not relying on him more, but Mei Shao has nothing to do with him.

He has always been such a thoughtful person, he didn't say anything, even when he was a teenager, he obviously cared about something very important in his heart, but he still pretended not to care.

Until now, I have forced myself into what I am today.

The breeze entered the curtain, and a ray of sunlight fell on Bai Bingchen's face. He seemed to feel the light, moved his eyelids, and buried half of his face in Mei Shao's clothes.

He breathed lightly on Mei Shao's thin clothes, and the warm and shallow breath hit it one after another, slowly warming Mei Shao's skin, only such a little warmth, but it was called Mei Shao's clothes. The blood flowed back to Shao's cool hands and feet for a while, warming up again.

His breathing was very shallow, but he told Mei Shao firmly and clearly: he is still alive.

As long as he is still alive and living well, Mei Shao is willing to wait until he really accepts himself completely, until he is willing to tell himself everything, and after he recovers from his illness, he will live a long, long, healthy life without disease or disaster. Live this life.

The hands that had nowhere to rest all this time finally had a place to go, they covered Mei Shao's eyes, gradually, tears wet the fingers.

Some people bit their palms, not daring to choke up.

After an unknown amount of time, Bai Bingchen wakes up from his dream in a daze, and realizes that he is not sleeping on a hard car wall. In a trance, he thinks that he is still in Pingdu's mansion.

The jolt of the carriage shook Bai Bingchen's rationality back little by little. He opened his eyes, and what he saw was the dark green robe and the golden pattern on it. :"woke up?"

Bai Bingchen looked up following the voice, but met a pair of reddish eyes.

For a moment, he didn't know whether to ask himself why he fell asleep on his lap, or why his eyes were red, Bai Bingchen's mind froze for a moment, before he could react, he was gently supported to sit up .

"Just woke up, sit slowly."

This time the sound was a little better than before.

Bai Bingchen came back to his senses slowly, and realized that it was probably because Mei Shao watched him fall asleep and felt uncomfortable just now, so he kindly put himself down.

"Thank you."

After thinking about their current relationship, Bai Bingchen still thanked him.

Mei Shao's originally red eyes seemed to turn red again when he heard his words. Before Bai Bingchen could take a closer look, Mei Shao lowered his head slightly and pressed his leg lightly.

Bai Bingchen knew that he was asleep and didn't move much. He glanced at the sky outside and it was getting dark, and felt that it was because he had been lying on Mei Shao's lap for a long time, and his leg was numb.

"Actually, it doesn't need to be so troublesome, I can..."

Before he could say "put two soft pillows" out of his mouth, he was beaten back by Mei Shao's words.

"What are your plans this time?"

Hearing Mei Shao casually change the subject, Bai Bingchen felt blank for no reason.

"Fang Min has already submitted the papers on the suppression of the bandits in Cangzhou, along with your credit for rebuilding the channel, so I should be able to ask for credit for you. What kind of official position do you want?"

Before Mei Shao could answer, Bai Bingchen thought for a while, and continued: "You are now the Minister of the Ministry of War. If you want to take another step in the Ministry of War, you will be the Minister of the Ministry of War. The current Minister of the Ministry of War was transferred to the post after the dark marriage. Yes, but he was originally a civil servant, not very proficient in military affairs. I heard that some things have been broken in the past two months. If you intend to focus on the deployment of military defense, I can secretly talk to your majesty and let you stand up That position. But with Zhang Xiang, it’s better not to show your feet. It’s cheaper to do things this way. You were originally one of his people before you left the capital. Since I haven’t been in Pingdu for a long time, he is busy cleaning up my contacts in the court, so he will naturally give Wei Peng another position, so if you are interested in the position of Minister of the Ministry of War, it will be easier.”

"But if you are interested in training soldiers..." Bai Bingchen paused, and said, "At present, the only soldiers on the list in Pingdu are the Patrol Battalion, the Imperial Army, and the Pingdu City Garrison. You probably don’t like it, the imperial guards are more disciplined, guarding the palace, and they can’t be moved easily. Then the garrison army is left. There have been no wars for a long time and strict generals. If you go to ask for the jurisdiction of the garrison army Quan, I think I will suffer a lot."

"But now the leader of the garrison army is Zheng Yuan." Looking at Mei Shao's puzzled eyes, Bai Bingchen knew that he was not familiar with the officials in Pingdu, and explained: "He is the only son of Zheng Yuanbo, Minister of the Ministry of Industry. The Ministry of Industry is also under Zhang Jiudai's subordinates. Man, it won't make things difficult for you if you go, but Zheng Yuan is used to being arrogant and domineering, so he might give you face."

Mei Shao's face suddenly sank.

"Zheng Yuan is the one you mentioned who tampered with you?"

"When did I say that..." Bai Bingchen's heart skipped a beat, thinking that Mei Shao had found out some of the past in secret, he subconsciously refuted half of it, and a picture suddenly flashed in his mind, as if he had said... ...

"The concubine of the Song family, the second son of the Yan family, and the only son of the Zheng family just now." Mei Shao deliberately spoke these people slowly, as if to help Bai Bingchen recall, "In the other courtyard in Pingdu, you think I'm One of them. Why, did they touch you like I did to you that night? "

Bai Bingchen's brain buzzed, and his ears burned with heat.He remembered that when Mei Shao was tied to the bed with a belt and humiliated him up and down, he said the names of those three people when he was angry.

"Ok?"

Mei Shao didn't get a response, she was a little annoyed, her voice seemed to be soaked in ice, and there was a chill.

"No, they dare not..."

Hearing Bai Bingchen's voice getting lower and lower, Mei Shao really thought that he was being bullied, and felt a little pain in his heart, but he couldn't bear to get angry at him, so he had to be patient, and slowly squatted down in the bumpy carriage .

He squatted in front of Bai Bingchen, coaxing softly, "Then what did they dare to do?"

Mei Shao posted it so closely, Bai Bingchen's mind was suddenly empty, and he really thought about it carefully following his question.

"It's just that he was young and energetic and said some nasty words." Bai Bingchen reasoned silently in his heart, and it was really nothing.

Seeing Mei Shao squatting in front of her, she didn't seem to get up at all.Bai Bingchen felt helpless, "Get up."

Mei Shao didn't move, but leaned forward even more, clasped his wrist to prevent him from moving away, and asked forcefully, "What kind of nasty words are those?"

Bai Bingchen couldn't break free for a while, feeling extremely embarrassed, thinking that he couldn't tell Mei Shao face-to-face with those ugly words, so he bit his tongue to death and didn't open his mouth.

"Then have they ever made a move, like now..." Mei Shao said, putting his hand on Bai Bingchen's knee, and wandering in it all the way.

Bai Bingchen's body trembled immediately, and then he stretched out his hand to hold Mei Shao's hand, turned his face to one side, picked up a word that could still be heard in a low voice, and said quickly, "He said that my waist looks bigger than Xiaoguan's." Be careful, I don't know... I don't know what it's like to hold it in my hand..."

Mei Shao's hand that was pinned down suddenly had veins, he gritted his teeth and continued to ask, "Is it Zheng Yuan?"

Thinking about how he, a veteran in the field of love and moon, would only be addicted to his mouth, Mei Shao took advantage of Bai Bingchen's lack of resistance after taking a step, and continued to ask: "He just talked?"

"I took the medicine once, and I ran away."

Mei Shao's eyes were full of turbulent emotions, he closed his eyes and did not speak again.

The other hand hanging on one side had long been clenched deeply, and the nails were pressed into the palm, but there was no pain at all.

After a while, he pulled out the hand that was held down by Bai Bingchen, sat back, and took a long breath before speaking smoothly.

"I choose the garrison army."

The author says:

Meimei: Who bullies you the most!I'm going to hit him!

Bai Bai: You. (To add up, they don't add up to as much as you do to me.

Meimei turned her head and hit Zheng Yuan: You said that my wife has a thin waist!

Bai Bai: He even took medicine.

Meimei:? ? ?
