"looking at what?"

As soon as Xie Xuan entered the room, Qin Ting had already sat up. He was looking sideways at the window. Seeing Xie Xuan approaching, he quickly looked away and smiled weakly at him: "It's nothing."

Qin Ting was always alive and well on weekdays, relying on his good martial arts skills, he was omnipotent and omnipotent in controlling horse-drawn bows, flying over eaves and walls, visiting kilns and listening to music.But now he just lay there sickly, as if he was about to fall when the wind blows.

Xie Xuan picked up the soup from the table and handed it over: "The doctor said to drink this medicine three times a day, remember to remind the servants to bring it to you when the time is up."

Qin Ting didn't answer.

He lowered his eyes to avoid Xie Xuan's sight, put his hands on the quilt, and gently rubbed his knuckles.

This injury happened strangely, even though he had just confessed to Xie Xuan not long ago that he was injured by Feng Jiuyuan.But he didn't know the purpose or reason, besides, he did have something to hide from Xie Xuan.

Xie Xuan was left hanging for a while, originally wanted to just turn around and leave, but when she met Qin Ting's slightly panicked eyes, her heart softened.

Speaking of which, if counted by the years of his life, he is now several years older than Qin Ting. Although he is wearing the shell of a young Xie Xuan, psychologically, whether he is willing to admit it or not, in front of him For people like Xie Duan, Qin Ting and Li Zhengshi, they are more or less pampered.

He sighed, sat down on the edge of the bed, stirred the bottom of the bowl with a spoon, and brought it to Qin Ting's mouth himself: "Open your mouth."

Qin Ting raised his head, his eyes sparkled, he let out an "Ah", and obediently opened his mouth to swallow the concoction.

A bowl of decoction soon bottomed out.

After holding the bowl for a long time, Xie Xuan's hands were a little sore. Just as he was about to take a break from the meeting, there were three consecutive knocks on the door outside the house.

He was Yu Qian's personal attendant during the entourage.

"Your Highness, someone is asking to see you outside the hall, Master Yu asked the little one to come and inform."

Xie Xuan was slightly surprised and said, "Li Jingyang is so impatient?"

The waiter said: "It's not Lizhou Mansion, it's someone from Beijing."

Beijing?

He just sent someone back to Beijing to ask for an order, and it was only a few days ago. It stands to reason that it is impossible for people in Beijing to send orders so quickly.

Who the hell is that?

Xie Xuan put down the bowl and wanted to get up to check, but just as he lowered his cuffs, he was suddenly caught by a light force.

He turned around and saw that Qin Ting had half stood up and was gently hooking Xie Xuan's body with his little finger.His palm is much wider than Xie Xuan, and now he is holding Xie Xuan so reluctantly, but he dare not use force, it looks a bit pitiful.

Feeling Xie Xuan's impatience vaguely, he paused slightly, and finally let go dejectedly.

At this moment, Xie Xuan wanted to laugh: "Pretend to be innocent?"

Qin Ting nodded, then shook his head again.

Xie Xuan didn't look at him any more, he only thought that he was still under the influence of the pain, and his mind didn't seem to be clear.There is still someone waiting outside the hall, probably a distinguished guest, he has to go out and have a look.

But when he stood up again and was about to leave, Qin Ting suddenly stretched out his hand from behind.

This time, what he hooked was not the little finger, but Xie Xuan's entire arm.

Being pulled so unexpectedly, Xie Xuan turned around in a circle, and threw herself on the bed in an extremely awkward posture.The feeling of weightlessness caused him to struggle subconsciously for a few times, and when he caught sight of the bandages on Qin Ting's body, his rationality immediately overcame his instinct and he let his body fall down.

Fortunately, Qin Ting had a sense of proportion, he firmly stopped Xie Xuan's waist, and let him lie face down on his body.

As early winter approached, the wind outside the window was much faster than usual. The moment he rushed towards Qin Ting, he seemed to hear a small movement from the side window.

He frowned and turned to look, but Qin Ting picked up his chin again and turned back gently.

"Don't look outside, look at me." Qin Ting took the lead in intercepting Xie Xuan's voice, and said softly before Xie Xuan broke out: "Your Highness, I want to apologize."

Xie Xuan: "..."

He shifted his gaze, and saw that the bandage wrapped around his chest was loosened a little due to the force, and it went down together with the robe that was draped over his shoulders.Xie Xuan quickly picked it up: "What's the crime?"

Qin Ting sat on the bed with his legs half-supported, holding Xie Xuan's wrist with one hand, while the other hand was hanging by his side because of the injury, not daring to move.Xie Xuan was forced to be imprisoned in the world that belonged to Qin Ting, and he didn't dare to move too much for fear of hurting Qin Ting's wounds, so he had to spread his legs slightly and straddle him.

This posture seems to be a bit indescribably charming.

Qin Ting said: "When I went looking for those bandits a few days ago, I was indeed looking for someone."

Xie Xuan's eyes moved, and for a moment he forgot about getting up from Qin Ting's body: "Who are you looking for?"

In the dark, Xie Xuan always felt that many things in recent days were inseparably related to the mystery in his heart.The old part of the Xiao family, the Qin family, and even Feng Jiuyuan were all involved.

If it is said that Yongzhou is under the jurisdiction of the Li family, then it should be related to the Li family. Why do these aristocratic families come here one after another, but the Li family is hiding in the dark without any trace?

What are they planning?

... Could it be related to what happened to General Xiao back then?

When Xie Xuan fell into deep thought because of a sentence, Qin Ting was carefully looking at Xie Xuan's eyebrows and eyes when he was thinking - when Xie Xuan was immersed in his own thoughts, it was this beautiful and quiet appearance.

Looking at it, I completely forgot that I was still injured.

He laughed softly: "If your highness wants to know, give me another kiss."

Xie Xuan came back to his senses and looked down at him.

This is a not very angry expression - Qin Ting thought.

Xie Xuan doesn't get angry very often, as if everything in the world is under his control, in fact, it seems to be so.He was always calm and peaceful.What would it look like if he became emotional?

As he thought about it, he suddenly realized that his hand was empty.It was Xie Xuan who finally broke free from his hands and had the strength to change positions.

Immediately afterwards, Qin Ting only felt a sudden heat in the corner of his eyes in the blink of an eye, carrying the warmth of Xie Xuan's lips, rubbing across his face lightly and slowly.

Qin Ting was stunned for a moment.

Xie Xuan said: "The kiss is over, can we talk?"

Qin Ting: "..."

He sighed slightly, his tone seemed to be annoyed, but also filled with endless love: "Little Highness, you really wanted my life."

The "Dark Pavilion" is owned by the Qin family. To put it bluntly, they were originally private soldiers raised by the Qin family.That's why they couldn't appear under the eyes of the royal family, but could only hide in the dark, and gradually dispersed over the long years, and finally transformed into dark guards, following the Patriarch for generations.

This is a sharp weapon passed down from the ancestors of the Qin family to know oneself and the enemy, thus saving one's life.

Therefore, Qin Ting's parents should not have passed away so suddenly.

The two elders are very young and in good health. After Qin Ting was born early, they have been a couple for life ever since.Qin's father didn't take concubines, so Qin Ting, as the only son of the Qin family, was naturally favored, and he would give whatever he wanted, even if he wanted to go to Penglai to learn Na Laoshizi's "immortal magician", the two elders had no intention of stopping him.

After the Qin family fell, the business they did in Hangzhou was able to support the food and clothing of a family of hundreds of people.

Moreover, the Qin family was only the main family that was expelled from Bianliang. Some of the collateral families stayed in Beijing because they did not have any deep contact with the main family and stood on the sidelines when the main family lost power.

After the death of the two patriarchs of the Qin family, Qin Ting left Penglai, tried to find these collaterals, and asked about some of the reasons, but was stopped back.

This made Qin Ting even more certain that there must be something strange about the death of his parents.

"Over the years, the Dark Pavilion has found out some past events, and I can't tell the real ones from the fake ones. All I know is that my family didn't move out of Bianliang voluntarily."

"Later, I changed the direction of my investigation - I managed to find some records of major events, and listed the timeline of major events that happened in Bianliang City that year, which really allowed me to find some clues."

"The matter of the Thirteenth City of Yanzhou... Your Highness knows about it?" Qin Ting took Xie Xuan's hand, and slowly and gently rubbed the skin on his tiger's mouth, "Not long after General Xiao died, the people in the city already knew about this matter." Keep it secret, and within half a month, my father made a big mistake in the court and was expelled from Beijing by the Queen Mother."

Xie Xuan: "You mean..."

"Hush." ​​Qin Ting sealed Xie Xuan's mouth with his fingers, and looked deeply into his eyes, "The walls have ears, which cannot be explained."

Xie Xuan's lips moved.

"Hangzhou is the hometown of my Qin family, and there is a heritage accumulated by our ancestors. After my parents returned to Hangzhou, they took over the Suzhou embroidery industry. Even if they left the imperial court, there is a place where there is a handicraft. There is no way..." Qin Ting paused, his eyelashes trembled, and said softly, "The morals of the world are like knives."

"It was the first ten years of the Yuan Dynasty. Before my parents passed away, I met Li Jin once. His whereabouts were extremely hidden back then. It was not easy for the dark pavilion to find out about it. I didn't know until a few days ago that he saw me Parents are not reminiscing about the past, but looking for something."

As for what it is, what is the use of that thing...

Even if the gods are here, they can't guess it.

But what is certain is that Li Jin's sudden visit to Hangzhou is absolutely inseparable from the Xiao family's extermination that year.What happened to the Xiao family back then?Is it consistent with what the Queen Mother said?

No one can answer at this time.

So Qin Ting separated from Ye Yi and went to the bandits' den by himself. He originally wanted to find clues about Li Jin. The bandits have contacts.It's just that no clue was found, so Qin Ting ran into Feng Jiuyuan first.

Layer after layer of fog rolled up in front of Xie Xuan's eyes.

But he didn't continue to investigate at this moment.

He looked at Qin Ting.

If the young Patriarch of the Qin family hadn't miscalculated his age, he might have just reached the crown last year.Xie Xuan remembered that when she was 20 years old in her previous life, she was still under Li Jin's control, being a puppet at his disposal.As Qin Ting said, the morals of the world are like knives, and when a big knife falls on an insignificant person, it will be lost forever.

Xie Xuan wanted to say something, but realized that she had already cultivated a heart of iron and stone. When she opened her mouth, what she spit out was: "Does your wound still hurt?"

Qin Ting was startled.

He understood, a slight smile appeared on his face, and fine lines appeared in the corners of his eyes.Immediately, he held Xie Xuan's arms, pulled him into his arms, buried him in Xie Xuan's slightly warm chest, and let out a breath slowly.

"It hurts." Qin Ting whispered, "It hurts to death."

Xie Xuan said: "Then take the medicine well and don't let me feed it anymore."

Qin Ting burst out laughing, his chest vibrated from the laughter, and the clothes that were hanging on his arms were about to fall down again.But he still felt that it wasn't enough, he lowered his head and continued to rub against Xie Xuan's arms, until the other party's clothes were disheveled before he would give up.

"Your Highness." Qin Ting said, "I have given you my sincerity. When will you complete the transaction and give me your sincerity?"

He waited with bated breath for a moment, with a nervousness that he didn't even realize.

But he didn't wait for a reply, only heard Xie Xuan's light and shallow breathing, rising and falling on top of his head.

That's it.

Qin Ting thought.

For a person like Xie Xuan, there are countless people in the world who are willing to love and coax him. He, Qin Ting, was just lucky enough to be blindfolded and able to personally imprison him in a corner of his arms to absorb the warmth.

He Xie Xuan is willing to guide the clear spring for you, step on the mountains, block the hidden arrows for you, clear the obstacles, and work hard for you without regret... But he never said love.
