After the rebirth, I became the darling of the tyrant

On the way into the palace, Jiang Chongdu's face was as white as paper, his footsteps were sloppy, and he looked like he was out of his mind.Usually he talks the most, but the closer he gets to Ganquan Palace, the more silent he becomes, his eyes are fixed on the ground under his feet, as if a flower has bloomed on it.

Gu Chen poked him lightly, with a bit of worry on his face: "What's wrong with you? Is there any discomfort?"

Jiang Chong shook his head, and said in a low voice: "No..." He hesitated for a moment, and then smiled wryly: "I'm afraid I'm doomed this time."

"..."

"You don't know, Mr. Gu." Jiang Chong said in a low voice, "My last..."

He stopped, with a look of fear on his face, as if recalling some extremely terrifying scene.Then he shook his head: "...Forget it, it's nothing."

He mentioned the previous deputy commander of Long Xiangwei, but Gu Chen suddenly remembered that the day after Xiao Tingshen sat on the dragon chair, a Long Xiangwei was indeed executed in the palace.It is said that he was beaten to death, but the reason is not clear.He couldn't help but glanced at Jiang Chong again. The deputy commander of Long Xiangwei's lips were white. Even when the ship sank in Tongshan, Gu Chen had never seen him so scared.

He silently thought, even if Xiao Tingshen wanted to take his anger out on him in the end, he couldn't let Xiao Tingshen kill again, not to mention that Jiang Chong died because of him in the previous life, how could he just watch him repeat the same mistakes again?

But Xiao Tingshen's moody, stinking temper that is not as good as a beast can't listen to advice.He had to find a way to downplay this matter as much as possible, preferably by covering it up directly.

Thinking of this, Gu Chen stopped in his tracks: "Eunuch Wei, I remembered that I forgot something on the horse..."

Wei Dequan did not suspect him: "The servant is waiting here for your lord, please hurry up, lord Gu."

Gu Chen nodded, and left quickly along the way he came. He didn't unbutton his shirt until he turned a secluded corner to make sure that Wei Dequan and others could no longer see him, revealing his injured right shoulder.

The white cloth wrapped around the wound was stained with traces of blood, it should be that the wound had opened again.Because the wound was too deep, the medicine they were wearing in Tongshan at that time could not stop the bleeding no matter what, as long as Gu Chen made a big move, it would rupture, and Gu Chen didn't bother to care about it.As a result, until now, the wound is still bleeding.

Gu Chen casually wrapped the cloth a few more times, and didn't stop until the blood was covered so that it was invisible.Then he fastened his clothes and walked back quickly.

"Okay." Gu Chen smiled slightly at Wei Dequan, "Eunuch Wei has been waiting for a long time."

They soon arrived at the gate of Ganquan Palace. A young eunuch in purple was guarding the gate. When he saw a few people, he immediately bowed and saluted.

"Your Majesty, please go in with the servants first, Mr. Gu, Vice Commander Jiang and Dr. Zhao, please wait a moment."

He was articulate and spoke extremely fast. After crackling, he bowed to Gu Chen and motioned him to come with him.Gu Chen followed, and the two of them walked through the extremely long corridor of Ganquan Palace, and walked towards the other end. Seeing that they had already missed the study room, and walking forward was the sleeping hall, Gu Chen couldn't help but said, "Where do you want to meet, Your Majesty?" I?"

"Your Majesty is in the bedroom." The little eunuch said clearly.He stopped at the door of the sleeping hall and pushed the door open: "Master Gu, please."

Gu Chen hesitated for a moment before stepping into the bedroom.

This place is no different from the last time he came here, the small nanmu table in the middle has been removed, and ambergris is lit inside the room.Xiao Tingshen was standing in front of the window, when he heard the sound of the door, he turned around.

"You are here." Xiao Tingshen said, "Come in."

Gu Chen walked slowly to the center of the room.

Xiao Tingshen's face was a bit haggard, as if he hadn't slept well for several days, and there were heavy shadows under his eyes.He seemed to have lost a lot of weight, and the lines on his side face were cold and sharp, as if cut by a knife.

He took a few steps towards Gu Chen, and said calmly, "I'll take a look at your wound."

Sure enough, he already knew what happened on the road - this thought flashed through Gu Chen's mind.He took a slightly wrong step, turned around to face Xiao Tingshen, and saluted slightly: "Please trouble your Majesty, I'm fine."

Xiao Ting raised his eyebrows deeply, obviously in disbelief.Gu Chen simply moved his right hand vigorously, turned around and punched.He obviously felt a sharp pain coming from his right shoulder which was wrapped in layers of cloth strips, but he still smiled deeply at Xiao Ting: "I'm really fine."

Xiao Tingshen still didn't answer, just stared at him.After a while, he slowly opened his mouth: "Untie the clothes."

"Your Majesty, I'm fine."

"Untie."

"minister--"

Xiao Tingshen lost his patience, stepped forward suddenly, and stretched out his hand to pull Gu Chen's belt.Gu Chen stepped back in a panic, and kicked his heels to the bed, and the two of them fell on the bed together, rolling into a ball.

"Don't move!" Xiao Ting shouted in a low voice, "I don't want to hurt you."

He forcefully pushed Gu Chen on the couch, and roughly tore off his clothes with one hand, exposing his right shoulder wrapped in layers of white cloth.Gu Chen was afraid that he would talk about it, so he quickly hid to the side, and said while hiding: "Your Majesty, don't you think this is well wrapped?"

Xiao Tingshen was almost laughed angrily by him: "You treat me like a fool? You are hurting yourself and still bear it, thinking I can't see it? Don't move!"

He yelled again, and exerted some force on his hands, as well as on his legs, forcing Gu Chen between himself and the bed.He was too lazy to listen to Gu Chen's nonsense, so he untied the white cloth with three strokes, and the horrific wound was exposed in front of his eyes in an instant.

Xiao Ting was so angry that his tone changed: "Is this what you said is all right?"

He looked at the wound, his hands trembling slightly in distress: "Didn't Jiang Chong protect you? Just protect you like this? Isn't Zhao Zhongqi a doctor? How did he give you medicine!? A bunch of dead people!?"

The more Gu Chen heard it, the more wrong he became. He was afraid that he would cut off both Jiang Chong and Zhao Zhongqi in a fit of anger, so he quickly said, "I don't blame Vice Commander Jiang and Dr. Zhao. It's because I didn't pay attention that they split apart."

Xiao Ting took a deep look at him, twitched the corners of his mouth, took out a small blue-glazed porcelain bottle, and said in a very bad tone, "Be honest, I will give you the medicine."

Gu Chen blushed suddenly: "Your Majesty, this is not proper—"

"Shut up for me."

Xiao Tingshen uncorked the porcelain bottle roughly, and poured out some viscous, golden-yellow liquid.Gu Chen couldn't help but feel his heart twitch - he had seen this kind of medicine at Zhao Boyong's place. It took the old doctor half a year to get together the ingredients, and it took another two months to prepare it successfully. Then he was reluctant to use it and sold it. Yes, it is said that a bottle is worth a hundred gold.

Xiao Tingshen didn't feel sorry for such a precious thing, and poured out most of the bottle as soon as he poured it out, which made Gu Chen frown - the things in his hands alone are probably worth dozens of taels of gold.

"... Your Majesty," Gu Chen said weakly, "...this is too precious."

Xiao Tingshen nailed him to the couch with fierce eyes, and wiped the dozens of taels of gold on his wounds casually.The strength is neither light nor heavy, and a thin layer is applied evenly.While painting, Xiao Tingshen was still frowning to observe his wound, his eyes were gloomy and very unfriendly, and his eyes were still suppressing his anger.

His technique is really very skilled, not like a pampered emperor.Gu Chen struggled at the border all year round, and it was common for him to be injured. However, if he asked himself, his method of applying medicine might not be as deep as that of Xiao Ting.

He should obviously belong to the noble prince.

Gu Chen stared at Xiao Tingshen's handsome profile, and suddenly felt a little pity in his heart.I don't know how many crimes he suffered when he was young, how many injuries he suffered, and how many wounds he had to deal with before he could develop such a proficient technique?Reminiscent of what Zhao Zhongqi revealed, Gu Chen's heart softened slightly involuntarily: "Your Majesty, I will come by myself."

Xiao Tingshen didn't say a word, ignored him, and gently and quickly applied the medicine, and then neatly bandaged his wound.After doing all this well, he glanced at Gu Chen and raised his chin towards the bed.

"You have been working hard these past few days." He said, "Take a break and go back to the palace later."

Gu Chen instinctively wanted to refuse: "Chen..."

"...Just take a break." Xiao Ting said in a low voice, "I want to see you."

His voice was very low, and his thick and dark eyelashes drooped, making him look a bit rare and fragile.His tone was too light, as light as a wisp of smoke, but he squeezed heavily on Gu Chen's heart.

He had no choice but to silently swallow the words of refusal, thinking that it would be fine if he just rested for a while, this was the emperor's order.

... What's more, Xiao Tingshen's tone really made him overwhelmed.

He sat back for a while, thinking that it would be enough to wait a while, but Xiao Tingshen shook off the quilt and motioned him to lie down.Seeing Gu Chen's hesitation, Xiao Tingshen said again in that light tone: "I'll just sit here for a while."

He means that he can't do anything.

Gu Chen's ears felt hot, he hesitated for a while, but still couldn't refuse Xiao Tingshen's eyes, so he had to lie down.The young emperor sat beside him, tucking the quilt for him, every movement was extremely gentle.

Gu Chen thought about it, from the moment he came in until now, Xiao Tingshen didn't mention anyone else.But his anger when he saw the wound was obvious - he would not let Jiang Chong go.Gu Chen was still worried about not letting Jiang Chong be implicated, so he said softly: "Can Your Majesty not punish Lord Jiang?"

Xiao Tingshen's hands paused, and his eyes became dim for a moment.He was silent for a moment, and then said: "Every time you ask me, it is for others."

He hooked his lips, but there was no smile: "The first time was for a little eunuch, and the second time was for Chun'an. Now, you begged me for Jiang Chong again. I know you are soft-hearted and kind-hearted. Always thoughtful of others."

His voice became even lower, almost whispering: "...But he never thought about me."

Gu Chen didn't hear clearly, and asked blankly: "What did your Majesty say?"

Xiao Tingshen didn't answer the words, only held his hand lightly.After a long while, his tone has returned to calm: "You can take a rest, I still have things to deal with."

He let go of Gu Chen's hand, stood up, and Gu Chen couldn't help but half-sit up: "Your Majesty, Mr. Jiang—"

Xiao Ting pursed his lips deeply, and said: "I will not kill him, nor will I kill Zhao Zhongqi, nor will I kill anyone."

"...I thank you, Your Majesty."

Xiao Ting gave him a deep smile, turned around and walked out of the dormitory, his face changed instantly as soon as he left the dormitory, his face was cold, his eyes were full of murderous intent and anger.He coldly ordered the little eunuch guarding at the door of the bedroom: "No one is allowed to enter without my permission."

The little eunuch responded with trepidation.Xiao Ting walked deeply towards the study room, raising his left hand while walking - the small green-glazed porcelain bottle he was holding in his hand had been crushed by him at some point, the fragment cut his palm, and the whole left hand was dripping with blood, which was particularly frightening .

Wei Dequan, who was following beside him, caught sight of it and was startled: "Your Majesty, I will treat this injury for you..."

"No need." Xiao Tingshen said coldly, "Call Jiang Chong to me."
