After the main god is bound to the scumbag system [Quick Transmigration]
Chapter 76 The sick and weak little prince (14) The next morning, the west palace of Shoukang Palace
, slowly breathed a sigh of relief.When I picked up the jug again to pour myself wine, I realized that the jug was empty at some point.
Lu Chi was stunned for a while holding the empty flagon, then turned to look at Wei Jin behind him.
"Master," Wei Jin hesitated, "Drinking too much alcohol will hurt your health."
His prince's capacity for alcohol is not good. In the past, he started to feel dizzy and unsteady after drinking just one jug, but now, before he knew it, there were already two empty jugs in front of him. If he continued to drink like this, his body would suffer. Can live.
"Stop talking nonsense," Lu Chi lowered his head and pressed the center of his brows, his eyes glanced at the still empty space on the right, his fingertips slightly curled up, his voice couldn't help but lowered a bit, "Go get the wine."
Wei Jin sighed helplessly, and had no choice but to go get the wine again as promised.
Lu Chi slowly lowered the hand resting on the center of his eyebrows, resting his elbow casually on the table to support one side of his forehead, while the other hand was playing with the empty wine glass in his hand boredly.
Suddenly, a shadow was cast on the side that had been vacant all along, followed by a faint but familiar cold fragrance that lingered in his nostrils silently.
Unobtrusive, but hard to ignore.
The emotion in Lu Chi's eyes paused, and he subconsciously raised his eyes to look at the women's area on the other side.Sure enough, the owner who had been vacant all the time had also returned, and was whispering something to the people around him at the moment.
Inadvertently meeting Lu Chi's gaze in the distance, the Anping county magistrate had a smile in his eyes, and nodded politely at him.
Lu Chi immediately smiled back, raised his hand and raised the empty cup in his hand.
This action exposed the right hand that was originally hidden in the sleeve, and also let the people around him see the gauze wrapped around the hand.Shen Xinglie's eyes paused, without thinking, he raised his hand and grabbed his wrist, his voice was low, "What's wrong with your hand?"
Lu Chi's entire palm was wrapped in thick gauze, only a few long and slender fingers were exposed.But through the slightly red gauze and the dried blood on the wrist, the seriousness of the injury can still be seen.
And both the way the gauze was wound and the way it was knotted were extremely rough, obviously not the work of the imperial physician, on the contrary, it seemed that after being injured, he casually wrapped it with gauze.
It was too hasty.
Lu Chi turned his gaze to look at the person in front of him, and after a while, chuckled, and slowly withdrew his hand, "It's just a small injury, it's fine."
"What a small injury." Shen Xinglie frowned slightly, and stretched out his hand to Lu Chi's wrist again, "Let's go back and re-bandage..."
Lu Chi raised his elbow, dodged Shen Xinglie's touch lightly, and at the same time quietly walked away from the wine pot in front of him, raised his wrist to fill up his own wine glass, and his slightly hoarse voice carried A little curious, "Shen Xinglie, why do you care about me so much?"
Shen Xinglie was startled for a moment, then slowly withdrew his hand, looked down at the wine glass in front of him, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "This is what the system should do to players."
"Then you are quite conscientious," Lu Chi bent his lips, took a drink from the glass in front of him, and played with the empty glass for a while, then asked slowly, "Do I have the right? Refuse."
"What?" Shen Xinglie raised his eyes to look at him, his eyes were blank for a moment, as if he didn't understand what he said.
"I said," Lu Chi squeezed the cup in his hand, and asked again, "Can you stop caring about me so much?"
Although it was a dinner party at this time, apart from the giant copper candlestick in the center of the hall, there were also corresponding candlelights near each position, illuminating everything around it as if it were daytime.
You can clearly see Lu Chi's slightly reddened eye ends and wet eyelashes, clearly repelling others thousands of miles away, even those ice blue eyes are extraordinarily cold, but Shen Xinglie He still caught a trace of unreasonable grievance from his eyes.
"What's the matter?" Shen Xinglie squeezed his fingers subconsciously, and asked softly, "Did something happen, or..."
"No," Lu Chi looked away, and picked up the jug in front of him again, "I just don't like it."
I don't like being taken care of by you.
I don't like being favored by you.
I don't even like the illusion of being liked by you.
"Don't drink any more," Shen Xinglie raised his hand to hold Lu Chi's pouring hand, "You're drunk..."
"I told you not to worry about me!" Lu Chi flung Shen Xinglie's hand away, his voice was uncontrollably high, but fortunately, the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras around him was lively enough to cover Lu Chi's abnormality, but it also alarmed him The emperor sitting on the throne.
"What's the matter?" Xiao Hong also drank a lot of wine, but at least his mind was still clear, he turned his head and looked over when he heard the movement, "Did King Xuan drink too much?"
"Your brother is too strong to drink, I made the emperor laugh." Lu Chi came back to his senses, raised his hand and stood up with the palm of his hand on the table, and saluted Xiao Hong unsteadily, "Then the younger brother will first, first...retire gone."
"Be careful." Shen Xinglie reached out his hand again to try to support him, but was touched by his body, and he slapped him away forcefully.Lu Chi used his shoulder blades to support the dragon pillar behind him to stand firm, and said angrily, "Don't worry about it!"
Shen Xinglie subconsciously shrank his arms. Although he let go of his hands for the time being, he still didn't dare to evacuate. He half-raised his arms to support him.
"How old are you all, why are you still as awkward as you were when you were young?" Xiao Hong smiled and shook his head, no longer paying attention to them, turned around and signaled Lian Sheng beside him to pour wine for him.
"Master!" Wei Jin, who rushed back with the jug in his arms, saw Xiao Qi's crumbling figure from a distance, and immediately stepped forward, casually put the wine in his hand on the side table, and stepped forward to support him, "You Where are you going, be careful, the slave will support you."
Shen Xinglie was squeezed by Wei Jin who rushed over suddenly, and couldn't help taking a step back, giving way to Lu Chi's side.
"Go back," Lu Chi leaned half of his body on Wei Jin's body, and after barely standing still, lowered his eyes and whispered, "Let's go back."
Wei Jin knew Xiao Qi's drinking capacity, and it was an exception to be able to hold on until now. He finally heard the prince said that he wanted to leave, so he naturally didn't dare to delay, and immediately dragged his master to salute the emperor, and then stumbled towards the emperor. go to the door.
Stepping out of the back door of the banquet hall, the cool wind suddenly blew on his slightly hot cheeks, and Lu Chi suddenly woke up a lot.He raised his hand and pressed the slightly swollen eyebrows, and got rid of Wei Jin's support, "You don't need to help me, I will go by myself."
"Be careful," Wei Jin had no choice but to follow Xiao Qi with his arms outstretched, as if he was worried like an old lady, "Be careful with your feet, slow down..."
"It's okay, I'm not a child..." Lu Chi lowered his head and looked at his feet seriously, trying to keep walking in a straight line. After walking for a while, he didn't forget to stop and praise himself, "I'm so good, I don't have any problems at all." Go awry."
Wei Jin raised his head and wiped the cold sweat off his brow, then nodded obediently, "Yes, you are the best...be careful, my lord!"
Lu Chi only stared at his toes and walked forward. He didn't even know when he was on the bridge. He followed the straight line he thought he was about to cross the bridge. You are gone, let the slaves support you..."
"No need," Lu Chi still shook his head stubbornly, "I can walk by myself...you let me go..."
After finishing speaking, he continued to climb up the railing by the bridge, Wei Jin was so frightened that tears almost came out, he frantically stopped him, before he had time to further grab Xiao Qi's belt, he was pushed away casually.
The next moment, Shen Xinglie single-handedly hugged the person hanging on the stone railing, noticed his cheeks were red from the cold wind, and wrapped him in his cloak, hugging him like a child. Turning around in her arms, she walked in the direction of Gyeongbokgung Palace.
Wei Jin staggered a bit from being pushed, looked up and saw Jiang Yuanxi's figure, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Xiao Shizi followed, otherwise he really couldn't hold back his prince.
"What are you doing?" Lu Chi's head was wrapped in a cloak, and the sudden darkness made him struggle subconsciously, "Let me go..."
"I'll let you go when I get back." Shen Xinglie's voice was very low, and it sounded muffled in his chest, "Don't move around."
After realizing who the person holding him was, Lu Chi couldn't help but give up struggling, and his voice was tinged with grievance, "I said, don't worry about me, just let go..."
Having said that, his body was subconsciously close to Shen Xinglie's chest, greedily smelling the familiar cold smell on his body, and muttering in a low voice, "I don't like you caring about me, I don't like you approaching me... "
Shen Xinglie didn't answer, he raised his hand to support the person in his arms, and continued to walk forward step by step.
After finally entering Jingfu Palace, Wei Jin first pushed open the door of Xiao Qi's bedroom, and tidied up the quilt diligently, "Your Majesty has worked hard, just put the prince here."
Shen Xinglie leaned over and put down the person who had been hugging him all the way, and only when he lowered his eyes to look at him did he realize that the person in his arms wet his cheeks at some point.
Shen Xinglie paused slightly, and slowly squeezed the fingers hanging on one side.
This was the first time he saw Lu Chi cry, and he cried so aggrieved and sad.
Like a small fish jumping out of the river suddenly, although it was not violent, it was enough to disturb the calm water.
"I said, don't worry about me, and you don't like me, why do you still provoke me..." Lu Chi sucked the tip of his red nose, and crystal tears slid down his already drenched cheeks, silently dropped to the chin.There was a hint of hoarseness in the low voice, and there was an almost undetectable cry hidden in the breath, "I don't like you treating me like this, do you know..."
Shen Xinglie's breathing stopped suddenly, the emotion in his eyes was empty for a few seconds, and his body froze completely.
You don't like me, why do you still provoke me.
Why did he say that, because he... likes himself?
He likes himself, but he can't confirm his feelings for him, so he starts to withdraw, angry, and afraid.
Is that right?
Lu Chi was tempted by him.
Is that right?
Shen Xinglie slowly clenched his fists at his sides, feeling a little scared in his heart.
I'm afraid Lu Chi didn't say that.
Afraid that I just heard wrong.
I'm afraid that all this is an unrealistic fantasy.
Afraid..he doesn't like himself.
"My son," Wei Jin on the side suspected that Xiao Qi was drunk and recognized Jiang Yuanxi as Shen Changfeng, that's why he said such inexplicable words. He was a little embarrassed for his master for a while, so he had to save the siege, "Why don't you go back first , the servant can just stay here and serve the prince..."
"Wei Jin," Shen Xinglie still stood on the spot, his low voice slightly hoarse, "You go out first, I will take care of him today."
"Ah?" Wei Jin hesitated for a moment, feeling something was wrong in his heart.
Although in the past, when the prince went to see the prince in the palace, he would often stay in Prince Xuan's palace at every turn.
But tonight, the prince is obviously drunk and can't recognize people. It seems a little bad to bother the prince to take care of him under such circumstances.
"Go out." The emotion in Shen Xinglie's eyes was dim, "Close the door."
"Oh," Wei Jin had no choice but to nod his head, "Then please trouble the prince, the servant is outside, you can call me if you need anything."
After finishing speaking, Wei Jin turned and left the room, and closed the bedroom door behind him.
"..why don't you go?" Lu Chi blinked slowly, and the tears flowed even more fiercely, "I don't want you here, you go, find your star, find your county lord... Don't stay here, don't tease me again and again, I don't like this..."
"Lu Chi," Shen Xinglie said slowly, "close your eyes."
Lu Chi choked for a moment, not understanding what he meant, "Why do you close your eyes, I..."
The next moment, his eyes were covered by a pair of warm and dry palms. Lu Chi was stunned for a moment, and felt his body lighten up. When he opened his eyes again, he was back on the bed in the system's apartment.
Shen Xinglie sat by the bed, his dark eyes fell on those swollen eyes from crying, he subconsciously raised his hand to wipe away his tears, but the person in front of him turned his head away.
Lu Chi stepped back subconsciously, his thin back pressed tightly against the soft pillow, and said in a muffled voice, "I don't want you to take care of me, you go..."
"Lu Chi," Shen Xinglie put one hand on Lu Chi's chin, turned Lu Chi's face stubbornly, and asked in a low voice, "Do you like me?"
"I don't like it," Lu Chi shook his head immediately, denying it, while crying silently, "I don't like you, I don't like you at all..."
"But I like you." Shen Xinglie raised his thumb, gently wiped away the tears on his cheeks, and said slowly, "I like you, I don't know when, I have already started to miss you."
Lu Chi froze suddenly, tears still kept falling, his eyes were blank, "No, you are lying."
He instinctively denied, "You like your star, as you said...you like your star, but you don't like me..." At this point, he couldn't help sobbing, and his eyes were stained with grievance, "You Don't like me, still tease me..."
"I like you," Shen Xinglie raised his eyelashes to look into Lu Chi's red eyes, and said word by word, "I liked you a long time ago."
"You're lying," Lu Chi shook his head stubbornly, "You don't like me, you're still flirting with that county magistrate today, and you were still thinking about your star a few days ago..."
"Lu Chi," Shen Xinglie seemed to have suddenly understood something, and immediately explained, "I am not that county lord..."
"I don't want to hear about you and her," Lu Chi childishly raised his hands to cover his ears, and shook his head desperately, "I don't care what the relationship is between you, don't tell me, I don't want to hear...uh..."
Shen Xinglie didn't give him a chance to continue to be angry, he held the back of his neck with one hand, leaned over and kissed him.The soft and warm lips stuck to the tears-soaked lips without warning, soft and lingering, tasted lightly.
Lu Chi froze suddenly, his eyes still full of tears were left blank.
This was the first time that Shen Xinglie kissed him on his own initiative.
She didn't succumb to his entanglement, nor did she obey his teasing.
Instead, she kissed him gently like a lover.
"I like you," Shen Xinglie looked into Lu Chi's eyes, and gently rubbed the skin behind Lu Chi's ears with his fingers on the back of his neck. There was a slight hoarseness in his voice, but every word he uttered was special. Clearly, "From the beginning, the only person I like is you."
Chapter 80 The sick and weak little prince (18) The dark night slowly covers the whole city, and through the curtains that have not been drawn tightly, you can clearly see the scattered lights of thousands of houses outside the window and the roaring traffic.
The bedroom is very quiet, and the floor lamp beside the bed casts two shallow silhouettes on the solid wood floor.The man in a white cotton T-shirt was sitting in front of the bed with a soft pillow in his arms, obediently stretched out his hand, and let another person clean the wound on his palm.
Shen Xinglie took out the things he needed from the first aid kit, took out a sterile cotton ball with tweezers, and carefully wiped the wound. After cleaning the wound, he found a clean gauze and wrapped his palm gently.
During this process, Lu Chi has been in a state of half awake and half dazed.In other words, after hearing Shen Xinglie's confession, he has never recovered.Maybe it's because I cried for too long, even though I have stopped crying, I still occasionally choke with a blank expression.
Like a child who has been wronged, the redness at the end of the eyes has not disappeared, and the tip of the nose is still slightly pink.
Shen Xinglie fixed the gauze, raised his eyes to look at the person in front of him, and slightly curved his lips, "Are you awake?"
Lu Chi was stunned for a moment, with a trace of confusion in his eyes, but he still nodded subconsciously.
The smile in Shen Xinglie's eyes couldn't help but deepened, and he couldn't help but raised his hand to rub Lu Chi's cheek on one side, and said in a low and gentle voice, "Go to sleep first, and I'll explain to you tomorrow morning."
Lu Chi was stunned for a moment, and after understanding what Shen Xinglie meant, he immediately raised his hand and grabbed the other's fingers, accidentally touching the wound on the palm of his hand, and frowned subconsciously, but he still didn't let go.
Perhaps because of the wound, when he raised his eyes again, there was a trace of moisture in them.He pursed his lips and shook his head, "Don't sleep."
"Be careful," Shen Xinglie immediately turned his palms over, and he was relieved after checking to make sure there was no blood oozing, and asked, "What's the matter, aren't you sleepy?"
"Sleepy." Lu Chi nodded, as if to confirm his words, he couldn't help but yawned, and the tears in his eyes became thicker.
"Since you're so sleepy," Shen Xinglie carefully protected the gauze-wrapped hand in his own, raised his eyelashes and looked at the person in front of him, "Why don't you want to sleep?"
Lu Chi lowered his eyes and said in a muffled voice, "I just don't want to sleep."
"If you're sleepy, you need to rest," Shen Xinglie softly coaxed the person in front of him, "Close your eyes and rest, okay?"
"What about you?" Lu Chi raised his eyes to look at Shen Xinglie, and asked, "I fell asleep, did you just leave?"
Perhaps it was because of his drunkenness, Lu Chi's gaze was extraordinarily straightforward, and there was an undisguised nostalgia and dependence in his wet eyes.When he said this, it was obviously a fierce questioning, but the unconsciously soft tone sounded more like a baby.
Like a bluffing kitten, even though it is trying its best to bark its teeth and claws, it still looks inexplicably soft and cute.
"I won't go," Shen Xinglie shook his head almost immediately, and assured him earnestly, "Just sleep, I'll stay here with you."
Lu Chi was obviously relieved, he nodded, propped his hands on the bed and lay down obediently, then lowered his eyelashes.Almost instantly, his breathing evened out.
Shen Xinglie was still sitting on the edge of the bed, and carefully helped him arrange the quilt on his body. After the person on the bed fell asleep, he was about to get up and go to the bathroom to twist a towel to wipe his face.There was a sudden stagnation under the feet, and before the movement of getting up was completed, it was stopped by a very light resistance.
He lowered his eyelashes, his eyes fell on the hem of his clothes hanging on one side, and his eyes paused slightly.
The person on the bed didn't sleep soundly, his brows were slightly furrowed, his eyelashes kept trembling, as if he fell into a dream as soon as he fell asleep.The hand that was bandaged just now hung slightly as Shen Xinglie got up, and the finger parts got wrapped around the corner of Shen Xinglie's clothes at some point.
A few fingers are tightly wrapped in the cotton fabric, even though they are already asleep, they still have no tendency to loosen.
-
The morning sunlight leaks into the house along with the slight birdsong along the unclosed window sills, shining a zigzag bright light on the dark marble floor, like a beautiful colored lamp falling on the ground, lighting up the surrounding area. The scenery is illuminated three points.
The window curtain hangs quietly on the ground, and through the thin fabric, one can vaguely see a furry head protruding from the brocade quilt. First, it lazily rubs against the pillow, then raises its hand to rub its eyes, and opens its lips. I yawned.
The person sitting on the other side of the bed tidying up things immediately stood up when he heard the movement, raised his hand to lift the bed curtain and sat on the side of the bed, raised his hand to rub the cheek of the person on the bed, and asked in a low voice, "Are you awake? Where does it hurt?"
Lu Chi frowned and turned over, muttering something in a low voice. Just as he was about to go back to sleep, he paused suddenly. He slowly opened his eyes and stared expressionlessly at the pattern on the brocade quilt in front of him. An inch froze.
The memory after being drunk came back little by little. The scenes of crying and fussing while hugging Shen Xinglie last night played in his mind like a slideshow.
What kept recurring together was Shen Xinglie's stubborn confession.
"I like you. From the beginning, the only person I like is you."
Lu Chi pinched the brocade quilt on his chest, and buried his head in the pillow calmly.
So embarrassing.
But also a little happy about how it is.
Shen Xinglie liked him.
He likes himself.
Not delusional.
Not dreaming.
He really said it himself.
I like you.
Only you.
It turns out that such an ordinary love sentence can also be so touching.
Kind of like laughing.
Hey hey hey.
"Lu Chi," Shen Xinglie subconsciously stretched out his hand to touch Lu Chi's forehead, but because of the latter's evasive movements, he only touched half of the back of his head.He looked down at the slightly trembling shoulders of the person on the bed, and there was a hint of hesitation in his tone, "Are you okay?"
"It's okay." Lu Chi sat up with one hand on the bed, raised his hand to brush away the broken hair sticking to his face, turned to look at the person sitting on the edge of the bed, and asked calmly, "When did you come back here?"
Perhaps because Shen Xinglie's words were too shocking last night, Lu Chi's memory was directly stuck in that confession, and everything after that was completely blurred.
The missing part of the memory made him faintly worried, wondering if he had done something more embarrassing without knowing it.
Shen Xinglie's eyes fell on Lu Chi's eyes that were trying to maintain calm, and he couldn't help but smile a little more in his eyes, and slowly explained: "After all, Xiao Qi was the only one who was drunk last night. If both of us are not sober, I'm afraid it will arouse suspicion. So before midnight, I brought you back."
Lu Chi looked away at the corner of the bed curtain, and gave a faint "oh".
Shen Xinglie lowered his eyes to cover his smile, raised his hand to take Lu Chi's hand resting on his knee, and put a small object in his palm.
Lu Chi only felt his hands soften, and subconsciously looked down, his eyes paused, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes, "Little tiger!"
This is a small tiger made of wool. Although it is only half the size of a palm, due to the excellent weaving technique, the direction of the fluff pattern on the tiger's body and the movement are very delicate. Even through the eyes made of two chalcedony, you can see Seeing a trace of naive aura.
Lu Chi held the little tiger in his palm and looked back and forth lovingly. When he raised his eyes to look at Shen Xinglie, there was still a trace of joy in his eyes, "It's so cute, did you do it..."
Looking up to meet Shen Xinglie's smiling eyes, he couldn't help but pause in the second half of the sentence, and he quickly turned his head and coughed lightly to cover up.
Immediately lowering his eyes, he put the hand holding the tiger casually on his knee, and gave a faint "oh".
"I did it. I learned the weaving technique from the headmaster of Anping County. I asked her to teach me how to do this." Shen Xinglie lowered his eyes to look at the top of Lu Chi's drooping head, and explained seriously, "The headmaster of Anping County likes it. When I learned how to weave tigers from her, the person she likes was always there."
Lu Chi unconsciously rubbed the tiger's pointed ears with his thumb, without looking up.
"In the system world, it is the beginning of December in the lunar calendar, and the Chinese New Year is less than a month away." Shen Xinglie raised his hand and rubbed Lu Chi's head, and said in a low voice, "This is the New Year I sent you Gift."
Lu Chi has always liked tigers. In addition to the coasters, refrigerator magnets, and pillowcases and sheets with tiger patterns, even the data pile in the system room is in the shape of a little tiger.
If wild animals can be bred in the system, it is estimated that Lu Chi will not hesitate to keep a tiger cub by his side.
That's why when Shen Xinglie first saw the Anping county magistrate wearing a hand-woven rabbit around his waist, he went over to ask her if she could make this type of little tiger.
It's not a New Year's gift, and there is no other reason. I just want to make a small object that Lu Chi likes and give it to him.
"Originally, I planned to wait until I became proficient in weaving techniques before making it for you." Shen Xinglie bent his lips, with a helpless smile reflected in his eyes, "but now it seems that there is no way to wait any longer, so I did it all night. Drive out an unattractive little tiger. You keep this one first, and when you become proficient, I will make a new one for you."
Lu Chi still lowered his eyes, his fingers were pulling the little tiger's ears once and for all, his face was still calm, but his heartbeat was a little uncontrollable.
He is explaining to himself.
He seems to like himself quite a bit.
It seems that there are a little more than I thought.
Hey hey hey.
"I really have nothing to do with Anping County Lord." Shen Xinglie tilted his head slightly to look at the person in front of him, and said in a low voice, "Don't be angry anymore, okay?"
"I drank too much last night, and I can't remember many things afterwards." Lu Chi squeezed the little tiger in his hand, and looked up at the people around him, "Did you tell me anything?"
"Yes," Shen Xinglie looked into his eyes and said slowly and clearly, "I said, I like you. I have liked you since I don't know when."
Lu Chi's fingers tightened tightly, trying to stabilize his almost out-of-control heartbeat, nodded his head pretending to be calm, and said casually: "Since you love me so sincerely, it doesn't seem too good if I refuse directly, then I will Just think about it."
Shen Xinglie couldn't help but smiled, and said seriously, "Thank you, thank you for giving me this opportunity."
"But there is one thing, I want to tell you clearly in advance," Lu Chi cleared his throat, and said slowly, "During the time I'm thinking about, you can't look at anyone more, and you can't do anything wrong to anyone. Think about it, otherwise..."
Shen Xinglie raised his eyebrows, with anticipation in his eyes.
"I'll lock you up," Lu Chi curled his lips, and smiled, "Then find a way to restart your system, clear all your skills and memories, so that you can only look at me and go nowhere No."
The smile on Shen Xinglie's lips gradually widened, "I can't ask for it."
Lu Chi choked for a moment, and the villain's aura instantly dissipated.
He raised his hands uncomfortably to straighten the collar of Xiao Qi's close-fitting clothing, and glanced at the people around him, "You didn't sleep all night last night?"
"Well," Shen Xinglie nodded, paused for a moment, and added, "It's not intentional to stay up late, it's just that I'm too happy, so I can't fall asleep."
"What's there to be happy about?" Lu Chi couldn't help muttering, paused for two seconds, then glanced at him again, "There's nothing else to do today, why don't you catch up on sleep."
"No need," Shen Xinglie said, "I'm not very sleepy."
"Actually, I didn't really care about it," Lu Chi lowered his head and tugged at the little tiger's curly long tail, trying to make himself look less unreasonable, "So you don't need to make yourself so tired because of explaining something .”
"I'm so happy that I can't sleep, and I have nothing to do, so I have to leave him alone." Shen Xinglie raised his hand and rubbed the cheek of the person in front of him, with a slight smile in his voice, "Anyway, I can't sit still when I'm idle, why don't I just do it?" Order something."
The person Xiao had thought about for more than ten years suddenly accepted his liking, and no one would be able to recover from this matter in a short time.
After repeated self-doubts and affirmations of his thoughts, Shen Xinglie couldn't lie on the bed and rest peacefully like a normal person, so he drove the little woolen tiger out overnight.
Even until now, his spirit is still in a very excited state.It's just because of his dull personality and his habit of hiding his emotions that he looks extraordinarily calm.
"Did you make this little tiger here?" Lu Chi suddenly thought of another thing, "Then when we leave, can we take it away intact?"
Shen Xinglie deliberately teased him, "It's okay if you can't take it away, I'll make you a better one after I go back."
"No," Lu Chi frowned, subconsciously squeezed the little tiger in his hand, "I want this one, you have to find a way to take it away."
Shen Xinglie lowered his eyes and coughed lightly, with an uncontainable smile in his voice, "I made this in the apartment and then converted it into data and brought it over, so what you see here is just a phantom. The entity is still in the apartment. After I go back, you can take it wherever you want."
Lu Chi breathed a sigh of relief, then realized something, and suddenly looked at the person in front of him, "Then you just said that it's okay if you can't take it away, you did it on purpose..."
"My lord, my son," Wei Jin's voice came from outside the door, he knocked on the door tentatively, "Are the two masters awake?"
Lu Chi glanced coldly at the person who was obviously holding back his laughter, put the little tiger in his clothes, raised his eyes to look at the position outside the door, and replied softly, "I'm awake, what's the matter?"
The door of the dormitory was gently pushed open from the outside. Wei Jin, who had been guarding outside all night, walked into the house and reported to the two people in a low voice: "There is news from Longtai Palace that His Majesty is ill. I drank too much, I don’t know what caused the root cause of the disease in my body, I vomited blood twice during the night, and now I am unconscious.”
Lu Chi's eyelashes moved slightly, and he subconsciously turned his gaze to look at the people around him. He also saw a hint of surprise in Shen Xinglie's eyes.
It seemed that Xiao Hong's progress was smoother than they expected.
Chapter 81 The Sick and Weak Prince (19) The early morning sun shone wantonly in the courtyard of Longtai Palace, the golden light covered the entire ground, and the green plants placed under the corridor were also dyed with a light golden layer, far away. Looking at the past, it is full of vitality.
Although the palace in Yuyuan was not more spacious than the palace, it was never crowded. Even so, the courtyard of Longtai Palace where Xiao Hong lived was still full of dignitaries from the palace who came to see the emperor's condition.
They gathered together in groups of three or four to whisper, or anxiously asked the imperial physician around him about the emperor's physical condition.Regardless of whether it was sincere or not, at least looking around, the courtyard was full of people who cared about the emperor's dragon body.
"Come, come," a county king standing at the door whispered, "Prince Xuan is here."
The emperor suddenly fell ill and is still in a coma.The end of the hunt at the imperial garden, and how to deal with the emperor's physical condition, are all thorny issues.Right now, apart from the emperor, only Prince Xuan has the highest position and the most right to speak. They naturally have to wait for him to come to Longtai Palace to preside over the overall situation.
After all, any turmoil or rumors about the emperor's body will directly affect the peace of the country and all the movements in Beijing. If this matter is handled properly, it may not be rewarded, but if it is not done well, it is very likely that it will be punished by the emperor. anger.
Such a hot potato, they naturally had to wait for the prince Xiao Qi, who was closest to the emperor and also the most powerful, to pick it up.
As soon as Lu Chi stepped into the gate of Longtai Palace, he raised his head and bumped into more than a dozen eager eyes. The county king who had been waiting for a long time ignored the cumbersome etiquette, grabbed Lu Chi's arm, and led the people inside.
As he walked, he explained the situation in a hasty tone: "The imperial physicians here at Yuyuan have all seen it, but they don't know much about His Majesty's physique, and there is no detailed pulse case here, so they have to prescribe the medicine according to the ordinary vomiting blood. It's been all night, and people still haven't woken up..."
Lu Chi was staggered by the drag, and he couldn't directly slap the opponent's hand, so he let the county king drag him through the courtyard full of people, and walked to the bedroom under the eyes of everyone who was relieved.
"Prince Cheng," a gentle voice reminded softly, "Prince Xuan has just woken up from a hangover, so he shouldn't be so tired. Walk slowly."
Shen Xinglie, who followed from behind, took a step forward, and calmly rescued Lu Chi's wrist from King Chengjun's grasp. Under the obviously stunned gaze of the other party, he continued with a voice that only the two of them could hear. Said: "Right now the only person who can control the overall situation is Prince Xuan. If he is exhausted at this time, this burden can only be handed over."
King Chengjun is Xiao Hong's uncle and the only surviving brother of the late emperor.Although he looked a few years older than Xiao Hong, he was the most influential person in the yard no matter in terms of age or prestige.Although the throne is under Xiao Qi, but because of seniority, no matter whether it is the emperor or Xiao Qi, when they see him, they must be courteous and call him uncle.
So if Prince Xuan falls ill, the matter here will naturally be handed over to King Chengjun.
Because of this, he was extremely anxious and wanted to push this matter out as soon as possible.
After all, Xiao Hong has always been suspicious and ruthless, if he handles this matter in any way improperly, he may be feared and suspected.He is almost fifty, and he just wants to guard his own life safely and securely.
Lu Chi was stunned for a while holding the empty flagon, then turned to look at Wei Jin behind him.
"Master," Wei Jin hesitated, "Drinking too much alcohol will hurt your health."
His prince's capacity for alcohol is not good. In the past, he started to feel dizzy and unsteady after drinking just one jug, but now, before he knew it, there were already two empty jugs in front of him. If he continued to drink like this, his body would suffer. Can live.
"Stop talking nonsense," Lu Chi lowered his head and pressed the center of his brows, his eyes glanced at the still empty space on the right, his fingertips slightly curled up, his voice couldn't help but lowered a bit, "Go get the wine."
Wei Jin sighed helplessly, and had no choice but to go get the wine again as promised.
Lu Chi slowly lowered the hand resting on the center of his eyebrows, resting his elbow casually on the table to support one side of his forehead, while the other hand was playing with the empty wine glass in his hand boredly.
Suddenly, a shadow was cast on the side that had been vacant all along, followed by a faint but familiar cold fragrance that lingered in his nostrils silently.
Unobtrusive, but hard to ignore.
The emotion in Lu Chi's eyes paused, and he subconsciously raised his eyes to look at the women's area on the other side.Sure enough, the owner who had been vacant all the time had also returned, and was whispering something to the people around him at the moment.
Inadvertently meeting Lu Chi's gaze in the distance, the Anping county magistrate had a smile in his eyes, and nodded politely at him.
Lu Chi immediately smiled back, raised his hand and raised the empty cup in his hand.
This action exposed the right hand that was originally hidden in the sleeve, and also let the people around him see the gauze wrapped around the hand.Shen Xinglie's eyes paused, without thinking, he raised his hand and grabbed his wrist, his voice was low, "What's wrong with your hand?"
Lu Chi's entire palm was wrapped in thick gauze, only a few long and slender fingers were exposed.But through the slightly red gauze and the dried blood on the wrist, the seriousness of the injury can still be seen.
And both the way the gauze was wound and the way it was knotted were extremely rough, obviously not the work of the imperial physician, on the contrary, it seemed that after being injured, he casually wrapped it with gauze.
It was too hasty.
Lu Chi turned his gaze to look at the person in front of him, and after a while, chuckled, and slowly withdrew his hand, "It's just a small injury, it's fine."
"What a small injury." Shen Xinglie frowned slightly, and stretched out his hand to Lu Chi's wrist again, "Let's go back and re-bandage..."
Lu Chi raised his elbow, dodged Shen Xinglie's touch lightly, and at the same time quietly walked away from the wine pot in front of him, raised his wrist to fill up his own wine glass, and his slightly hoarse voice carried A little curious, "Shen Xinglie, why do you care about me so much?"
Shen Xinglie was startled for a moment, then slowly withdrew his hand, looked down at the wine glass in front of him, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "This is what the system should do to players."
"Then you are quite conscientious," Lu Chi bent his lips, took a drink from the glass in front of him, and played with the empty glass for a while, then asked slowly, "Do I have the right? Refuse."
"What?" Shen Xinglie raised his eyes to look at him, his eyes were blank for a moment, as if he didn't understand what he said.
"I said," Lu Chi squeezed the cup in his hand, and asked again, "Can you stop caring about me so much?"
Although it was a dinner party at this time, apart from the giant copper candlestick in the center of the hall, there were also corresponding candlelights near each position, illuminating everything around it as if it were daytime.
You can clearly see Lu Chi's slightly reddened eye ends and wet eyelashes, clearly repelling others thousands of miles away, even those ice blue eyes are extraordinarily cold, but Shen Xinglie He still caught a trace of unreasonable grievance from his eyes.
"What's the matter?" Shen Xinglie squeezed his fingers subconsciously, and asked softly, "Did something happen, or..."
"No," Lu Chi looked away, and picked up the jug in front of him again, "I just don't like it."
I don't like being taken care of by you.
I don't like being favored by you.
I don't even like the illusion of being liked by you.
"Don't drink any more," Shen Xinglie raised his hand to hold Lu Chi's pouring hand, "You're drunk..."
"I told you not to worry about me!" Lu Chi flung Shen Xinglie's hand away, his voice was uncontrollably high, but fortunately, the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras around him was lively enough to cover Lu Chi's abnormality, but it also alarmed him The emperor sitting on the throne.
"What's the matter?" Xiao Hong also drank a lot of wine, but at least his mind was still clear, he turned his head and looked over when he heard the movement, "Did King Xuan drink too much?"
"Your brother is too strong to drink, I made the emperor laugh." Lu Chi came back to his senses, raised his hand and stood up with the palm of his hand on the table, and saluted Xiao Hong unsteadily, "Then the younger brother will first, first...retire gone."
"Be careful." Shen Xinglie reached out his hand again to try to support him, but was touched by his body, and he slapped him away forcefully.Lu Chi used his shoulder blades to support the dragon pillar behind him to stand firm, and said angrily, "Don't worry about it!"
Shen Xinglie subconsciously shrank his arms. Although he let go of his hands for the time being, he still didn't dare to evacuate. He half-raised his arms to support him.
"How old are you all, why are you still as awkward as you were when you were young?" Xiao Hong smiled and shook his head, no longer paying attention to them, turned around and signaled Lian Sheng beside him to pour wine for him.
"Master!" Wei Jin, who rushed back with the jug in his arms, saw Xiao Qi's crumbling figure from a distance, and immediately stepped forward, casually put the wine in his hand on the side table, and stepped forward to support him, "You Where are you going, be careful, the slave will support you."
Shen Xinglie was squeezed by Wei Jin who rushed over suddenly, and couldn't help taking a step back, giving way to Lu Chi's side.
"Go back," Lu Chi leaned half of his body on Wei Jin's body, and after barely standing still, lowered his eyes and whispered, "Let's go back."
Wei Jin knew Xiao Qi's drinking capacity, and it was an exception to be able to hold on until now. He finally heard the prince said that he wanted to leave, so he naturally didn't dare to delay, and immediately dragged his master to salute the emperor, and then stumbled towards the emperor. go to the door.
Stepping out of the back door of the banquet hall, the cool wind suddenly blew on his slightly hot cheeks, and Lu Chi suddenly woke up a lot.He raised his hand and pressed the slightly swollen eyebrows, and got rid of Wei Jin's support, "You don't need to help me, I will go by myself."
"Be careful," Wei Jin had no choice but to follow Xiao Qi with his arms outstretched, as if he was worried like an old lady, "Be careful with your feet, slow down..."
"It's okay, I'm not a child..." Lu Chi lowered his head and looked at his feet seriously, trying to keep walking in a straight line. After walking for a while, he didn't forget to stop and praise himself, "I'm so good, I don't have any problems at all." Go awry."
Wei Jin raised his head and wiped the cold sweat off his brow, then nodded obediently, "Yes, you are the best...be careful, my lord!"
Lu Chi only stared at his toes and walked forward. He didn't even know when he was on the bridge. He followed the straight line he thought he was about to cross the bridge. You are gone, let the slaves support you..."
"No need," Lu Chi still shook his head stubbornly, "I can walk by myself...you let me go..."
After finishing speaking, he continued to climb up the railing by the bridge, Wei Jin was so frightened that tears almost came out, he frantically stopped him, before he had time to further grab Xiao Qi's belt, he was pushed away casually.
The next moment, Shen Xinglie single-handedly hugged the person hanging on the stone railing, noticed his cheeks were red from the cold wind, and wrapped him in his cloak, hugging him like a child. Turning around in her arms, she walked in the direction of Gyeongbokgung Palace.
Wei Jin staggered a bit from being pushed, looked up and saw Jiang Yuanxi's figure, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Xiao Shizi followed, otherwise he really couldn't hold back his prince.
"What are you doing?" Lu Chi's head was wrapped in a cloak, and the sudden darkness made him struggle subconsciously, "Let me go..."
"I'll let you go when I get back." Shen Xinglie's voice was very low, and it sounded muffled in his chest, "Don't move around."
After realizing who the person holding him was, Lu Chi couldn't help but give up struggling, and his voice was tinged with grievance, "I said, don't worry about me, just let go..."
Having said that, his body was subconsciously close to Shen Xinglie's chest, greedily smelling the familiar cold smell on his body, and muttering in a low voice, "I don't like you caring about me, I don't like you approaching me... "
Shen Xinglie didn't answer, he raised his hand to support the person in his arms, and continued to walk forward step by step.
After finally entering Jingfu Palace, Wei Jin first pushed open the door of Xiao Qi's bedroom, and tidied up the quilt diligently, "Your Majesty has worked hard, just put the prince here."
Shen Xinglie leaned over and put down the person who had been hugging him all the way, and only when he lowered his eyes to look at him did he realize that the person in his arms wet his cheeks at some point.
Shen Xinglie paused slightly, and slowly squeezed the fingers hanging on one side.
This was the first time he saw Lu Chi cry, and he cried so aggrieved and sad.
Like a small fish jumping out of the river suddenly, although it was not violent, it was enough to disturb the calm water.
"I said, don't worry about me, and you don't like me, why do you still provoke me..." Lu Chi sucked the tip of his red nose, and crystal tears slid down his already drenched cheeks, silently dropped to the chin.There was a hint of hoarseness in the low voice, and there was an almost undetectable cry hidden in the breath, "I don't like you treating me like this, do you know..."
Shen Xinglie's breathing stopped suddenly, the emotion in his eyes was empty for a few seconds, and his body froze completely.
You don't like me, why do you still provoke me.
Why did he say that, because he... likes himself?
He likes himself, but he can't confirm his feelings for him, so he starts to withdraw, angry, and afraid.
Is that right?
Lu Chi was tempted by him.
Is that right?
Shen Xinglie slowly clenched his fists at his sides, feeling a little scared in his heart.
I'm afraid Lu Chi didn't say that.
Afraid that I just heard wrong.
I'm afraid that all this is an unrealistic fantasy.
Afraid..he doesn't like himself.
"My son," Wei Jin on the side suspected that Xiao Qi was drunk and recognized Jiang Yuanxi as Shen Changfeng, that's why he said such inexplicable words. He was a little embarrassed for his master for a while, so he had to save the siege, "Why don't you go back first , the servant can just stay here and serve the prince..."
"Wei Jin," Shen Xinglie still stood on the spot, his low voice slightly hoarse, "You go out first, I will take care of him today."
"Ah?" Wei Jin hesitated for a moment, feeling something was wrong in his heart.
Although in the past, when the prince went to see the prince in the palace, he would often stay in Prince Xuan's palace at every turn.
But tonight, the prince is obviously drunk and can't recognize people. It seems a little bad to bother the prince to take care of him under such circumstances.
"Go out." The emotion in Shen Xinglie's eyes was dim, "Close the door."
"Oh," Wei Jin had no choice but to nod his head, "Then please trouble the prince, the servant is outside, you can call me if you need anything."
After finishing speaking, Wei Jin turned and left the room, and closed the bedroom door behind him.
"..why don't you go?" Lu Chi blinked slowly, and the tears flowed even more fiercely, "I don't want you here, you go, find your star, find your county lord... Don't stay here, don't tease me again and again, I don't like this..."
"Lu Chi," Shen Xinglie said slowly, "close your eyes."
Lu Chi choked for a moment, not understanding what he meant, "Why do you close your eyes, I..."
The next moment, his eyes were covered by a pair of warm and dry palms. Lu Chi was stunned for a moment, and felt his body lighten up. When he opened his eyes again, he was back on the bed in the system's apartment.
Shen Xinglie sat by the bed, his dark eyes fell on those swollen eyes from crying, he subconsciously raised his hand to wipe away his tears, but the person in front of him turned his head away.
Lu Chi stepped back subconsciously, his thin back pressed tightly against the soft pillow, and said in a muffled voice, "I don't want you to take care of me, you go..."
"Lu Chi," Shen Xinglie put one hand on Lu Chi's chin, turned Lu Chi's face stubbornly, and asked in a low voice, "Do you like me?"
"I don't like it," Lu Chi shook his head immediately, denying it, while crying silently, "I don't like you, I don't like you at all..."
"But I like you." Shen Xinglie raised his thumb, gently wiped away the tears on his cheeks, and said slowly, "I like you, I don't know when, I have already started to miss you."
Lu Chi froze suddenly, tears still kept falling, his eyes were blank, "No, you are lying."
He instinctively denied, "You like your star, as you said...you like your star, but you don't like me..." At this point, he couldn't help sobbing, and his eyes were stained with grievance, "You Don't like me, still tease me..."
"I like you," Shen Xinglie raised his eyelashes to look into Lu Chi's red eyes, and said word by word, "I liked you a long time ago."
"You're lying," Lu Chi shook his head stubbornly, "You don't like me, you're still flirting with that county magistrate today, and you were still thinking about your star a few days ago..."
"Lu Chi," Shen Xinglie seemed to have suddenly understood something, and immediately explained, "I am not that county lord..."
"I don't want to hear about you and her," Lu Chi childishly raised his hands to cover his ears, and shook his head desperately, "I don't care what the relationship is between you, don't tell me, I don't want to hear...uh..."
Shen Xinglie didn't give him a chance to continue to be angry, he held the back of his neck with one hand, leaned over and kissed him.The soft and warm lips stuck to the tears-soaked lips without warning, soft and lingering, tasted lightly.
Lu Chi froze suddenly, his eyes still full of tears were left blank.
This was the first time that Shen Xinglie kissed him on his own initiative.
She didn't succumb to his entanglement, nor did she obey his teasing.
Instead, she kissed him gently like a lover.
"I like you," Shen Xinglie looked into Lu Chi's eyes, and gently rubbed the skin behind Lu Chi's ears with his fingers on the back of his neck. There was a slight hoarseness in his voice, but every word he uttered was special. Clearly, "From the beginning, the only person I like is you."
Chapter 80 The sick and weak little prince (18) The dark night slowly covers the whole city, and through the curtains that have not been drawn tightly, you can clearly see the scattered lights of thousands of houses outside the window and the roaring traffic.
The bedroom is very quiet, and the floor lamp beside the bed casts two shallow silhouettes on the solid wood floor.The man in a white cotton T-shirt was sitting in front of the bed with a soft pillow in his arms, obediently stretched out his hand, and let another person clean the wound on his palm.
Shen Xinglie took out the things he needed from the first aid kit, took out a sterile cotton ball with tweezers, and carefully wiped the wound. After cleaning the wound, he found a clean gauze and wrapped his palm gently.
During this process, Lu Chi has been in a state of half awake and half dazed.In other words, after hearing Shen Xinglie's confession, he has never recovered.Maybe it's because I cried for too long, even though I have stopped crying, I still occasionally choke with a blank expression.
Like a child who has been wronged, the redness at the end of the eyes has not disappeared, and the tip of the nose is still slightly pink.
Shen Xinglie fixed the gauze, raised his eyes to look at the person in front of him, and slightly curved his lips, "Are you awake?"
Lu Chi was stunned for a moment, with a trace of confusion in his eyes, but he still nodded subconsciously.
The smile in Shen Xinglie's eyes couldn't help but deepened, and he couldn't help but raised his hand to rub Lu Chi's cheek on one side, and said in a low and gentle voice, "Go to sleep first, and I'll explain to you tomorrow morning."
Lu Chi was stunned for a moment, and after understanding what Shen Xinglie meant, he immediately raised his hand and grabbed the other's fingers, accidentally touching the wound on the palm of his hand, and frowned subconsciously, but he still didn't let go.
Perhaps because of the wound, when he raised his eyes again, there was a trace of moisture in them.He pursed his lips and shook his head, "Don't sleep."
"Be careful," Shen Xinglie immediately turned his palms over, and he was relieved after checking to make sure there was no blood oozing, and asked, "What's the matter, aren't you sleepy?"
"Sleepy." Lu Chi nodded, as if to confirm his words, he couldn't help but yawned, and the tears in his eyes became thicker.
"Since you're so sleepy," Shen Xinglie carefully protected the gauze-wrapped hand in his own, raised his eyelashes and looked at the person in front of him, "Why don't you want to sleep?"
Lu Chi lowered his eyes and said in a muffled voice, "I just don't want to sleep."
"If you're sleepy, you need to rest," Shen Xinglie softly coaxed the person in front of him, "Close your eyes and rest, okay?"
"What about you?" Lu Chi raised his eyes to look at Shen Xinglie, and asked, "I fell asleep, did you just leave?"
Perhaps it was because of his drunkenness, Lu Chi's gaze was extraordinarily straightforward, and there was an undisguised nostalgia and dependence in his wet eyes.When he said this, it was obviously a fierce questioning, but the unconsciously soft tone sounded more like a baby.
Like a bluffing kitten, even though it is trying its best to bark its teeth and claws, it still looks inexplicably soft and cute.
"I won't go," Shen Xinglie shook his head almost immediately, and assured him earnestly, "Just sleep, I'll stay here with you."
Lu Chi was obviously relieved, he nodded, propped his hands on the bed and lay down obediently, then lowered his eyelashes.Almost instantly, his breathing evened out.
Shen Xinglie was still sitting on the edge of the bed, and carefully helped him arrange the quilt on his body. After the person on the bed fell asleep, he was about to get up and go to the bathroom to twist a towel to wipe his face.There was a sudden stagnation under the feet, and before the movement of getting up was completed, it was stopped by a very light resistance.
He lowered his eyelashes, his eyes fell on the hem of his clothes hanging on one side, and his eyes paused slightly.
The person on the bed didn't sleep soundly, his brows were slightly furrowed, his eyelashes kept trembling, as if he fell into a dream as soon as he fell asleep.The hand that was bandaged just now hung slightly as Shen Xinglie got up, and the finger parts got wrapped around the corner of Shen Xinglie's clothes at some point.
A few fingers are tightly wrapped in the cotton fabric, even though they are already asleep, they still have no tendency to loosen.
-
The morning sunlight leaks into the house along with the slight birdsong along the unclosed window sills, shining a zigzag bright light on the dark marble floor, like a beautiful colored lamp falling on the ground, lighting up the surrounding area. The scenery is illuminated three points.
The window curtain hangs quietly on the ground, and through the thin fabric, one can vaguely see a furry head protruding from the brocade quilt. First, it lazily rubs against the pillow, then raises its hand to rub its eyes, and opens its lips. I yawned.
The person sitting on the other side of the bed tidying up things immediately stood up when he heard the movement, raised his hand to lift the bed curtain and sat on the side of the bed, raised his hand to rub the cheek of the person on the bed, and asked in a low voice, "Are you awake? Where does it hurt?"
Lu Chi frowned and turned over, muttering something in a low voice. Just as he was about to go back to sleep, he paused suddenly. He slowly opened his eyes and stared expressionlessly at the pattern on the brocade quilt in front of him. An inch froze.
The memory after being drunk came back little by little. The scenes of crying and fussing while hugging Shen Xinglie last night played in his mind like a slideshow.
What kept recurring together was Shen Xinglie's stubborn confession.
"I like you. From the beginning, the only person I like is you."
Lu Chi pinched the brocade quilt on his chest, and buried his head in the pillow calmly.
So embarrassing.
But also a little happy about how it is.
Shen Xinglie liked him.
He likes himself.
Not delusional.
Not dreaming.
He really said it himself.
I like you.
Only you.
It turns out that such an ordinary love sentence can also be so touching.
Kind of like laughing.
Hey hey hey.
"Lu Chi," Shen Xinglie subconsciously stretched out his hand to touch Lu Chi's forehead, but because of the latter's evasive movements, he only touched half of the back of his head.He looked down at the slightly trembling shoulders of the person on the bed, and there was a hint of hesitation in his tone, "Are you okay?"
"It's okay." Lu Chi sat up with one hand on the bed, raised his hand to brush away the broken hair sticking to his face, turned to look at the person sitting on the edge of the bed, and asked calmly, "When did you come back here?"
Perhaps because Shen Xinglie's words were too shocking last night, Lu Chi's memory was directly stuck in that confession, and everything after that was completely blurred.
The missing part of the memory made him faintly worried, wondering if he had done something more embarrassing without knowing it.
Shen Xinglie's eyes fell on Lu Chi's eyes that were trying to maintain calm, and he couldn't help but smile a little more in his eyes, and slowly explained: "After all, Xiao Qi was the only one who was drunk last night. If both of us are not sober, I'm afraid it will arouse suspicion. So before midnight, I brought you back."
Lu Chi looked away at the corner of the bed curtain, and gave a faint "oh".
Shen Xinglie lowered his eyes to cover his smile, raised his hand to take Lu Chi's hand resting on his knee, and put a small object in his palm.
Lu Chi only felt his hands soften, and subconsciously looked down, his eyes paused, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes, "Little tiger!"
This is a small tiger made of wool. Although it is only half the size of a palm, due to the excellent weaving technique, the direction of the fluff pattern on the tiger's body and the movement are very delicate. Even through the eyes made of two chalcedony, you can see Seeing a trace of naive aura.
Lu Chi held the little tiger in his palm and looked back and forth lovingly. When he raised his eyes to look at Shen Xinglie, there was still a trace of joy in his eyes, "It's so cute, did you do it..."
Looking up to meet Shen Xinglie's smiling eyes, he couldn't help but pause in the second half of the sentence, and he quickly turned his head and coughed lightly to cover up.
Immediately lowering his eyes, he put the hand holding the tiger casually on his knee, and gave a faint "oh".
"I did it. I learned the weaving technique from the headmaster of Anping County. I asked her to teach me how to do this." Shen Xinglie lowered his eyes to look at the top of Lu Chi's drooping head, and explained seriously, "The headmaster of Anping County likes it. When I learned how to weave tigers from her, the person she likes was always there."
Lu Chi unconsciously rubbed the tiger's pointed ears with his thumb, without looking up.
"In the system world, it is the beginning of December in the lunar calendar, and the Chinese New Year is less than a month away." Shen Xinglie raised his hand and rubbed Lu Chi's head, and said in a low voice, "This is the New Year I sent you Gift."
Lu Chi has always liked tigers. In addition to the coasters, refrigerator magnets, and pillowcases and sheets with tiger patterns, even the data pile in the system room is in the shape of a little tiger.
If wild animals can be bred in the system, it is estimated that Lu Chi will not hesitate to keep a tiger cub by his side.
That's why when Shen Xinglie first saw the Anping county magistrate wearing a hand-woven rabbit around his waist, he went over to ask her if she could make this type of little tiger.
It's not a New Year's gift, and there is no other reason. I just want to make a small object that Lu Chi likes and give it to him.
"Originally, I planned to wait until I became proficient in weaving techniques before making it for you." Shen Xinglie bent his lips, with a helpless smile reflected in his eyes, "but now it seems that there is no way to wait any longer, so I did it all night. Drive out an unattractive little tiger. You keep this one first, and when you become proficient, I will make a new one for you."
Lu Chi still lowered his eyes, his fingers were pulling the little tiger's ears once and for all, his face was still calm, but his heartbeat was a little uncontrollable.
He is explaining to himself.
He seems to like himself quite a bit.
It seems that there are a little more than I thought.
Hey hey hey.
"I really have nothing to do with Anping County Lord." Shen Xinglie tilted his head slightly to look at the person in front of him, and said in a low voice, "Don't be angry anymore, okay?"
"I drank too much last night, and I can't remember many things afterwards." Lu Chi squeezed the little tiger in his hand, and looked up at the people around him, "Did you tell me anything?"
"Yes," Shen Xinglie looked into his eyes and said slowly and clearly, "I said, I like you. I have liked you since I don't know when."
Lu Chi's fingers tightened tightly, trying to stabilize his almost out-of-control heartbeat, nodded his head pretending to be calm, and said casually: "Since you love me so sincerely, it doesn't seem too good if I refuse directly, then I will Just think about it."
Shen Xinglie couldn't help but smiled, and said seriously, "Thank you, thank you for giving me this opportunity."
"But there is one thing, I want to tell you clearly in advance," Lu Chi cleared his throat, and said slowly, "During the time I'm thinking about, you can't look at anyone more, and you can't do anything wrong to anyone. Think about it, otherwise..."
Shen Xinglie raised his eyebrows, with anticipation in his eyes.
"I'll lock you up," Lu Chi curled his lips, and smiled, "Then find a way to restart your system, clear all your skills and memories, so that you can only look at me and go nowhere No."
The smile on Shen Xinglie's lips gradually widened, "I can't ask for it."
Lu Chi choked for a moment, and the villain's aura instantly dissipated.
He raised his hands uncomfortably to straighten the collar of Xiao Qi's close-fitting clothing, and glanced at the people around him, "You didn't sleep all night last night?"
"Well," Shen Xinglie nodded, paused for a moment, and added, "It's not intentional to stay up late, it's just that I'm too happy, so I can't fall asleep."
"What's there to be happy about?" Lu Chi couldn't help muttering, paused for two seconds, then glanced at him again, "There's nothing else to do today, why don't you catch up on sleep."
"No need," Shen Xinglie said, "I'm not very sleepy."
"Actually, I didn't really care about it," Lu Chi lowered his head and tugged at the little tiger's curly long tail, trying to make himself look less unreasonable, "So you don't need to make yourself so tired because of explaining something .”
"I'm so happy that I can't sleep, and I have nothing to do, so I have to leave him alone." Shen Xinglie raised his hand and rubbed the cheek of the person in front of him, with a slight smile in his voice, "Anyway, I can't sit still when I'm idle, why don't I just do it?" Order something."
The person Xiao had thought about for more than ten years suddenly accepted his liking, and no one would be able to recover from this matter in a short time.
After repeated self-doubts and affirmations of his thoughts, Shen Xinglie couldn't lie on the bed and rest peacefully like a normal person, so he drove the little woolen tiger out overnight.
Even until now, his spirit is still in a very excited state.It's just because of his dull personality and his habit of hiding his emotions that he looks extraordinarily calm.
"Did you make this little tiger here?" Lu Chi suddenly thought of another thing, "Then when we leave, can we take it away intact?"
Shen Xinglie deliberately teased him, "It's okay if you can't take it away, I'll make you a better one after I go back."
"No," Lu Chi frowned, subconsciously squeezed the little tiger in his hand, "I want this one, you have to find a way to take it away."
Shen Xinglie lowered his eyes and coughed lightly, with an uncontainable smile in his voice, "I made this in the apartment and then converted it into data and brought it over, so what you see here is just a phantom. The entity is still in the apartment. After I go back, you can take it wherever you want."
Lu Chi breathed a sigh of relief, then realized something, and suddenly looked at the person in front of him, "Then you just said that it's okay if you can't take it away, you did it on purpose..."
"My lord, my son," Wei Jin's voice came from outside the door, he knocked on the door tentatively, "Are the two masters awake?"
Lu Chi glanced coldly at the person who was obviously holding back his laughter, put the little tiger in his clothes, raised his eyes to look at the position outside the door, and replied softly, "I'm awake, what's the matter?"
The door of the dormitory was gently pushed open from the outside. Wei Jin, who had been guarding outside all night, walked into the house and reported to the two people in a low voice: "There is news from Longtai Palace that His Majesty is ill. I drank too much, I don’t know what caused the root cause of the disease in my body, I vomited blood twice during the night, and now I am unconscious.”
Lu Chi's eyelashes moved slightly, and he subconsciously turned his gaze to look at the people around him. He also saw a hint of surprise in Shen Xinglie's eyes.
It seemed that Xiao Hong's progress was smoother than they expected.
Chapter 81 The Sick and Weak Prince (19) The early morning sun shone wantonly in the courtyard of Longtai Palace, the golden light covered the entire ground, and the green plants placed under the corridor were also dyed with a light golden layer, far away. Looking at the past, it is full of vitality.
Although the palace in Yuyuan was not more spacious than the palace, it was never crowded. Even so, the courtyard of Longtai Palace where Xiao Hong lived was still full of dignitaries from the palace who came to see the emperor's condition.
They gathered together in groups of three or four to whisper, or anxiously asked the imperial physician around him about the emperor's physical condition.Regardless of whether it was sincere or not, at least looking around, the courtyard was full of people who cared about the emperor's dragon body.
"Come, come," a county king standing at the door whispered, "Prince Xuan is here."
The emperor suddenly fell ill and is still in a coma.The end of the hunt at the imperial garden, and how to deal with the emperor's physical condition, are all thorny issues.Right now, apart from the emperor, only Prince Xuan has the highest position and the most right to speak. They naturally have to wait for him to come to Longtai Palace to preside over the overall situation.
After all, any turmoil or rumors about the emperor's body will directly affect the peace of the country and all the movements in Beijing. If this matter is handled properly, it may not be rewarded, but if it is not done well, it is very likely that it will be punished by the emperor. anger.
Such a hot potato, they naturally had to wait for the prince Xiao Qi, who was closest to the emperor and also the most powerful, to pick it up.
As soon as Lu Chi stepped into the gate of Longtai Palace, he raised his head and bumped into more than a dozen eager eyes. The county king who had been waiting for a long time ignored the cumbersome etiquette, grabbed Lu Chi's arm, and led the people inside.
As he walked, he explained the situation in a hasty tone: "The imperial physicians here at Yuyuan have all seen it, but they don't know much about His Majesty's physique, and there is no detailed pulse case here, so they have to prescribe the medicine according to the ordinary vomiting blood. It's been all night, and people still haven't woken up..."
Lu Chi was staggered by the drag, and he couldn't directly slap the opponent's hand, so he let the county king drag him through the courtyard full of people, and walked to the bedroom under the eyes of everyone who was relieved.
"Prince Cheng," a gentle voice reminded softly, "Prince Xuan has just woken up from a hangover, so he shouldn't be so tired. Walk slowly."
Shen Xinglie, who followed from behind, took a step forward, and calmly rescued Lu Chi's wrist from King Chengjun's grasp. Under the obviously stunned gaze of the other party, he continued with a voice that only the two of them could hear. Said: "Right now the only person who can control the overall situation is Prince Xuan. If he is exhausted at this time, this burden can only be handed over."
King Chengjun is Xiao Hong's uncle and the only surviving brother of the late emperor.Although he looked a few years older than Xiao Hong, he was the most influential person in the yard no matter in terms of age or prestige.Although the throne is under Xiao Qi, but because of seniority, no matter whether it is the emperor or Xiao Qi, when they see him, they must be courteous and call him uncle.
So if Prince Xuan falls ill, the matter here will naturally be handed over to King Chengjun.
Because of this, he was extremely anxious and wanted to push this matter out as soon as possible.
After all, Xiao Hong has always been suspicious and ruthless, if he handles this matter in any way improperly, he may be feared and suspected.He is almost fifty, and he just wants to guard his own life safely and securely.
