Minister Gu Ming can't take care of himself

In the chaos, it seems like a dream but not a dream.

Unexpectedly, in March of the next year, Xu Guanchen suffered from stab wounds on his back and poison in his body repeatedly, and he lay on the couch intermittently for almost a month.

This month, Master set off to search for medicine, and it was too late to say goodbye to him.Xiao Zhi and Mrs. Zhong stayed by his couch, just like this time.

Dreams and reality are gradually overlapping, and the pain three years ago is gradually overlapping with the pain now.

The pain went deep into the bone marrow, waking him up from his dream.

He opened his eyes in a daze, and was startled to feel a cold sweat on his forehead and back.

Sitting up with his hands propped up, he saw Xiao Zhi with his back turned to him, washing his veil, he should have just wiped his face.

When Xiao Zhi turned his back to him, he looked back from time to time.He just happened to wake up when Xiao Zhi turned his back, and the next moment Xiao Zhi looked back at him, he saw him awake.

Xu Guanchen called out with a hoarse voice, "Xiao Yuzhi."

"Are you awake?" Xiao Zhi said this lightly, but secretly heaved a sigh of relief.She wrung out the veil, sat down in front of him, supported his face, and helped him wipe the cold sweat off his forehead.

Xu Guanchen seemed to have a headache, raised his hand and rubbed his head: "I..."

Xiao Zhi was very nervous, threw away the veil, and hurriedly asked: "How is it?"

Xu Guanchen tugged at his sleeve, pulled him closer, lowered his head and leaned forward, resting his head on his shoulder.When he was sick, he was delicate and coquettish, and said: "Uncomfortable."

Xiao Zhi touched his head and stroked his hair: "Sleep for a while, okay?"

Xu Guanchen asked in a daze, "What time is it now?"

"It's getting dark." Xiao Zhi glanced out, "You slept all day."

"So..." Xu Guanchen dazed for a while, then said softly, "That Yuan Ce, give me a piece of jade last night, and let me take it to Fengyue Tower to find him."

Xiao Zhi thought of the jade pendant thrown to the corner by himself, and said, "The jade is with me."

"He said that my brother's things are in his place."

"I'll find a way." Xiao Zhi patted his thin back, only to find that his back was soaked in cold sweat, "I'll help you get it back."

"Actually, my brother doesn't care about these things. His best destination is to stay loyal to all directions." Xu Guanchen sighed softly, then turned the subject, "Where's Master? I have something to ask him."

"He's not in the palace, he's gone out." Xiao Zhi thought for a while, then said, "If you need anything, it's the same if you ask me first."

"I always feel that the medicine Master gave me three times, the first two times are different from this one." Xu Guanchen bit his lower lip, "I want to ask him if he is hiding something from me. .”

"As soon as he comes back, I'll tell you." Xiao Zhi stretched out his hand and hugged him gently, "Change your clothes, take the medicine and sleep for a while."

Xiao Zhi personally waited on him to wash and change his clothes, and patiently, holding a porridge bowl, coaxing him to eat two more bites.

Xu Guanchen pursed his lips and shook his head.

Xiao Zhi said: "Then let them warm it first, and then eat it later."

Xu Guanchen didn't say anything, just raised his hand, Xiao Zhi knew that he wanted to hug.

So Xiao Zhi put down the porridge bowl, pushed away the pillow behind him, sat behind him, hugged his waist, and hugged him into his arms.

Xu Guanchen has been ill for so many years and has always been very thin.A small one, leaning against his arms, like a rabbit.

Xiao Zhi pulled the quilt over and helped him cover it, but Xu Guanchen said: "If I die, what will you do?"

"I'm afraid you can't die." Xiao Zhi pretended to be serious, "Thanks to you reading the scriptures for me for so many years, my temperament is better. If you die, no one will read the scriptures for me, and I will be in Jinling City again." The god of plague. You think about the others, don't let them all encounter such a gloomy plague god like me, you stay a little longer."

"Okay." Xu Guanchen raised his eyes slightly and looked at him, "I want to stay a little longer, too."

Xiao Zhi turned his head, suddenly felt that this topic was too sad, and said, "Do you want to fly the dust? Just read a few sutras."

"The last time you copied was "The Sutra of the Tathagata's Fundamental Vows", and you don't believe it." Xu Guanchen smiled with the corners of his mouth pulled, and said, "If I die, don't you become a widower? You were originally a widower. I have a bad temper, and I quarrel with others at every turn, and it's not easy for a widower to remarry, if I don't stay, what will you do?"

I'm already like this, and I still have the time to joke around.

Xiao Zhi hugged him even tighter, and when he turned his head to the side, he asked for a kiss.So she held his face in her hands, restrained and only kissed him once.

Xu Guanchen lowered his eyes slightly and smiled.

Eunuch Xiao Cheng stood in front of the door with a medicine bowl in his hand, bowed his head and knocked on the door: "Your Majesty, the medicine is ready."

Xiao Zhi put a pillow on his back so that he could lean on comfortably, got up and went outside, and took the medicine bowl from Eunuch Xiaocheng.

The soup was pitch black, and the taste was not very pleasant.

As soon as he got close, Xu Guanchen's face turned pale, and he coughed on the edge of the couch, almost throwing up his heart, lungs and viscera.

He took the medicine for three years, Xu Guanchen thought that he had already gotten used to it, drinking the medicine was like drinking water.Xiao Zhi knew that he was afraid of suffering, but he had never seen him like this. Drinking a bowl of medicine would kill him.

Xu Guanchen suddenly did this, and the two of them suddenly thought of a word - back to the light.

Xiao Zhi's face darkened, he brought the candied fruit box closer, pushed the medicine bowl away, picked up a candied fruit, and brought it to his lips.

Xu Guanchen suppressed his cough, ate the candied fruit in one gulp, chewed and swallowed it, then picked up the medicine bowl, and reluctantly took a sip.

When you still can't feel the bitter taste, drink the decoction quickly.

Xu Guanchen breathed a sigh of relief, pursed his lips, and looked up at Xiao Zhi.

With his appearance, he was clearly asking for a kiss again, wanting him to hug and praise him.

Xiao Zhi took the medicine bowl, hugged him on his lap, and kissed the corner of his lips that were still bitter.

Xu Guanchen divided a small bowl of decoction several times and finished it.Xiao Zhi hugged him, he took a sip, then lowered his head to touch the corner of his lips as encouragement.

It was so sticky and greasy, I finished a bowl of medicine.

Xiao Zhi sat with him for a while, and the two of them chatted casually, not talking about Yuan Ce, nor about Yanbei Xiling, but just gossiping.

Talking about the first meeting in Qingzhou in the past, talking about the three years under the same roof in Jinling City, and talking about the three years in Funing Palace.

Xu Guanchen said: "Before you asked me, did you remember the incident when you carried me through the palace road? I haven't remembered it yet. When did that happen?"

Xiao Zhi replied: "The first day of the first month of the first lunar month. It will happen on the first day of the first month of the first month of the next year."

Xu Guanchen counted with his fingers, originally wanted to say that he was about to dream, but in a daze, he just fell asleep in Xiao Zhi's arms.

He suddenly fell silent, startling Xiao Zhi, Xiao Zhi tried his breath, and held his wrist to feel his pulse.After confirming that he was just asleep, he gently put him on the couch and covered him with the quilt.

Xiao Zhi put down the curtain in front of the bed, picked up the broken jade pendant from the corner, turned and went out.

Eunuch Xiao Cheng was guarding outside, Xiao Zhi took two steps outside to make sure that Xu Guanchen would not be woken up, and ordered: "Go and find some guards, there is an errand for them to do."

But Eunuch Xiao Cheng said: "Your Majesty wants to send someone to visit Fengyue Tower?" He leaned over and saluted: "When His Highness Yuan Ce was talking to the young eunuch, the slave was by his side, and happened to listen to a few words."

Xiao Zhi glanced at him, suddenly remembered what he used to do, and said, "What do you think?"

Eunuch Xiao Cheng leaned over and kowtowed: "This servant is willing to take Feiyang away from this incident and bring back the belongings of Mr. Xu."

Xiao Zhi threw the jade pendant to him and said: "You take someone there, if you can't get it back, just grab it back."

The most prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River is Jinling Fengyue.

Fengyue Tower is also a well-known gentle and rich town in Jinling City.

Eunuch Xiao Cheng hung the jade pendant on his waist, which was very conspicuous. As soon as he entered the door, someone greeted him and took him upstairs.

The elegant room upstairs is separated from the curtain by a screen painted with pictures of beauties, and several layers of tulle are hazy.

Yuan Ce was born with the appearance of a noble son.The flute, flute and pipa were being played on the other side of the curtain, he leaned on the soft pillow, tapped his fingertips on the table following the music.

Suddenly hearing the sound of footsteps, Yuan Ce hurriedly sat up halfway, and said with a smile, "Young master told me to wait..."

The door was pushed open from the outside, and Eunuch Xiao Cheng stood at the door and bowed to him: "Young Master is not feeling well, this servant is bold enough to ask for a jade pendant from him, and come to the appointment."

Yuan Ce suddenly felt bored, and lay back on the couch with a lack of interest, and said casually: "Come in." He paused, and added: "Leave that idiot behind you outside."

What he was talking about was Feiyang who was following behind Eunuch Cheng. Although Feiyang was mentally incompetent, he could tell the difference between good and bad. Hearing what he said, he hummed and was unwilling to go in.

The two people beside Yuan Ce stood guard outside the private room.One is the one wearing the mask, and the other is the ordinary-looking literati. They always seem to follow Yuan Ce.

Eunuch Xiao Cheng took a look at both of them secretly, and felt that there was nothing unusual, so he comforted Feiyang, and entered the door alone.

The music continued, Yuan Ce put his hands on his pillow and asked, "If he doesn't come to beg me himself, how can I give him something?"

"Young Master cares about your elder brother, but he is really bedridden." Eunuch Xiao Cheng replied, "Your Highness has nothing to do with Eldest Young Master Xu, and he keeps things belonging to Eldest Young Master Xu..."

"I don't have any contact with him, you are just a little eunuch?" Yuan Ce squinted at him, "To tell the truth, if Xu Wen had turned to me at that time, he would have already been promoted to a noble in my court by now."

Eunuch Xiao Cheng pinched his palms, and calmly said: "If so, is Mr. Xu still Mr. Xu?"

"Yeah." Yuan Ce laughed for some unknown reason, "So he's living like a ghost now."

The two of them were not congenial, and even chatted for a long time.

In the end, Yuan Ce said: "Since the young master asked you to come, I am sorry to ask you to return empty-handed." He pointed casually: "On the knife rack over there, Xu Wen's long knife, take it back."

The long knife was rusted, and Eunuch Xiao Cheng struggled to pull out the blade, and saw the word "You Huai" engraved near the handle.This is the name of Xu Wen's saber.

Seeing his actions, Yuan Ce smiled and said, "You know the goods, and you also know Xu Wen?"

But Eunuch Xiaocheng said: "I don't know, it was taught by the little eunuch."

Yuan Ce thought that a baby-faced eunuch would not know anything, so he waved his hand again and let him go out.

When Eunuch Xiaocheng went out, Feiyang leaned against the wall in an upright manner.

Eunuch Xiao Cheng coaxed him: "Let's go, don't be angry, your brother Guan Chen is still waiting for you, go back and see him."

"Brother Guanchen always falls asleep." Feiyang pursed his lips, "If brother always won't wake up..."

Eunuch Xiao Cheng was startled, and hurriedly shook his head, telling him not to say any more.

He was afraid that his words would be heard by others, but the two people guarding outside the door didn't respond.

The two of them went out of Fengyue Tower together, Feiyang lifted his clothes and said, "Eunuch Xiaocheng, just now there is a person just like Feiyang."

Eunuch Xiaocheng couldn't understand, and when asked what he meant, he couldn't tell why.

He didn't react until he reached Funing Hall.

Fei Yang meant that among the two people beside Yuan Ce, one of them, like him, was also a martial puppet made of living people.
