Minister Gu Ming can't take care of himself

When Xu Guanchen woke up again, it was late at night.

Xiao Zhi was alert, he only moved his finger to wake Xiao Zhi up.

Xu Guanchen's voice was too soft to hear: "I need to drink water."

Xiao Zhi hugged him again, then got up, tied the curtain in front of the bed with a silver hook, brought a small candlestick and put it in front of the bed.Holding the teacup in one hand, supporting Xu Guanchen with the other, slowly feeding him water.

After only drinking half a cup, Xu Guanchen shook his head.

He asked softly, "What time is it?"

Xiao Zhi put down the teacup and wiped off the water stains on the corners of his lips with his thumb: "It's only three o'clock, you can rest for a while."

Xu Guanchen sat blankly for a while, still distracted.Xiao Zhi pulled the quilt over, wrapped him into a small ball, and sat with him for a while.

Xu Guanchen seemed to be talking to himself: "I dreamed of my brother."

Xiao Zhi stood up, brought in the rusty long knife, and handed it to him.

It was only when Xu Guanchen came back to his senses that he raised his head to look at him in a daze, and there was some light in his eyes.

"I brought it back for you." The long knife was out of its sheath half an inch, Xiao Zhi was afraid that he would hurt himself, and pointed the blade at his side.

Xu Guanchen was stunned, and stretched out his hand to caress the connection between the handle and the blade.At that time, the sword was cast, and the word "You Huai" here is his handwriting when he was young.

Suddenly, his heart ached, his throat was choked up, and he couldn't speak a word.His eyes were hazy, blurring those two words, and two drops of hot tears fell from his eye sockets, dripping on the rust on the blade, which only made the rust more real.

He cried out the half glass of water he drank just now.

Seeing him crying, Xiao Zhi hurriedly said: "I shouldn't have provoked you, don't cry, don't cry."

He wanted to put away the long knife, but Xu Guanchen held onto the scabbard tightly, so he covered the blade with his hand, and said, "I won't take it away, don't cry."

Xu Guanchen held back his tears, his eyes were red, he looked at the long knife carefully twice, stroked every crack, every inch of crack, and every bit of old blood on the long knife.

Still crying, he hoarsely called out, "Brother."

Xiao Zhi embraced him, patted his back to coax him.

Originally, Xiao Zhi didn't know how to coax others, but every time Xu Guanchen was sick, he taught himself without a teacher.

Xu Guanchen grabbed his skirt with both hands, lay on his shoulders, trembling all over, sobbing.

Afraid that he was still crying for a long time, Xiao Zhi could not coax him well, so he wiped his face with his sleeve, held his face, kissed him hard, and said in feigned anger : "Don't cry."

Xu Guanchen was stunned, and then he couldn't hold back, so he hiccupped.

Xiao Zhi picked up a handkerchief soaked in warm water and wiped his face, Xu Guanchen calmed down and leaned over, taking advantage of Xiao Zhi's concentration on wiping his face, he said vaguely: "Thank you."

After helping him wipe his face, Xiao Zhi raised his hand and threw the handkerchief back into the basin: "Why are you saying such things all of a sudden?"

"Suddenly, I feel sorry for you." Xu Guanchen scratched his head, lowered his head and looked down, "I used to avoid you, but now I always bother you, it seems that with me, all my bad things were caught up by you."

Xiao Zhi still wanted to pretend to be fierce, and told him to stop thinking about it and go to bed quickly, but he couldn't be fierce to him anymore, and he couldn't pretend.

Sick people are more delicate.

After another silence, Xu Guanchen asked, "Has Master come?"

"After you fell asleep, I came to check your pulse, changed the prescription and left. He said that it was about your life, so he couldn't stop him, so he let him go."

"Well, he will come back next time and wake me up." Xu Guanchen thought for a while, "Can you ask your people to investigate Master secretly? I always feel..."

In fact, Xiao Zhi had already asked someone to check Yu Qingzi secretly, but he didn't want Xu Guanchen to know, so he replied: "Okay, I will give orders later."

Xu Guanchen thought for a while, and then said: "I showed the map to my cousin last time, if you have time, ask him to see if he solved it."

Xiao Zhi responded one by one: "Okay, I will ask him tomorrow."

"Is the matter of Yuan Ce's assassination still under investigation?"

"Xiao Jue is in charge." Xiao Zhi said, "He came once when you were asleep, and howled too loudly, afraid of disturbing you, he kicked him out."

Xu Guanchen wanted to ask about other things, but at this moment, the sound of a palace man making watch came from the palace wall, Xiao Zhi pushed him on the couch and told him to lie down: "Sleep."

"I can't sleep anymore, I've been sleeping all day and night..." Xu Guanchen's face suddenly changed, he pushed him away with one hand, and covered his mouth with the other.Xu Guanchen was taken aback by the strong rust smell, but complained in a low voice, "Why do you vomit blood all the time?"

He took his hand away, and the palm of his hand was bright red, which was very dazzling.

As if he had gotten used to it, Xu Guanchen grabbed his sleeve and told him calmly: "I'm sick again, I'm hot."

Seeing that the cinnabar on his forehead had lost its color, Xiao Zhi also knew that he was suffering from an illness, so he took out the bright red pill from the dark compartment, fed him one, then put a coat on him, and carried him outside the hall Walk.

This time he took the medicine in time, Xu Guanchen still had some lucid consciousness, his thoughts were messy, and he thought about some messy things. No wonder, he said why Xiao Zhi's hands are so strong, so it turned out that he was hugged and practiced all these years of.

With no other thoughts, he fell asleep.

When he woke up again, he was under the cold pool.

It was early summer, but because it was early in the morning, it was very cold under the cold pool.

Xu Guanchen was lying on his side on the stone bed, and Xiao Zhi was sitting on the ground next to him, guarding him, and also guarding a small candle, the faint candlelight.

While Xu Guanchen was asleep, Xiao Zhi also closed his eyes to rest his mind, fiddling with the rosary that Xu Guanchen gave him, reaching out his hand from time to time to test the temperature of his forehead.

Xu Guanchen looked down at him, wondering if he had been with Xu Guanchen for a long time, his calm appearance, expression and temperament were somewhat similar to Xu Guanchen.

At this moment Xiao Zhi reached out his hand to touch his forehead, felt that it was almost done, so he put away his rosary, held on to the candlestick, to see if the cinnabar between his brows had turned red again.

The candle was dimly lit, it shone on Xu Guanchen's face, and also shone into his eyes, very bright.

"Are you awake?" Xiao Zhi put down the candlestick and picked him up.

The stone bed was cold, Xu Guanchen had slept for a long time, and his body was also a little cold, so he grabbed his neck and shrank into his arms.

Out of the cold pool, through the corridor.

In summer, the days are long and the nights are short, and the sunrise is getting earlier and earlier.

Seeing the dawning sky, Xu Guanchen hung his hands around his neck, shook his feet, half-complaining and half-testing: "Go back to sleep?"

Xiao Zhi understood what he meant, pampered and pampered him, walked forward and asked, "Then what do you want to do?"

"Let's go for a walk." Xu Guanchen pursed his lips, "In a while, go to the palace wall and the tower, and you will be able to see the sunrise."

Xiao Zhi remained silent.

Xu Guanchen said again: "I just fell ill, and I should be fine recently. I always sleep, so I will be fine."

Only after the Funing Palace was cleaned, the smell of medicine and blood disappeared, and there was a faint fragrance in the tent.

No more waiting, Xiao Zhi carried him back to the palace and put him on the couch.

Xu Guanchen hurriedly pushed him away, protesting: "I don't sleep!"

Xiao Zhi stood in front of him for a while, and went to bring him tea and willow branches.

Xu Guanchen froze for a moment, then began to wash.

Xiao Zhi took out two clean clothes he wore in winter and spring, and put them on for him, lest he catch the cold from the wind.

Xiao Zhi squatted in front of him, helped him fasten the belt, raised his eyes and glanced at him: "Go to the palace wall?"

"Yeah." Xu Guanchen unconsciously reached out to touch his ear.

Xiao Zhi was helping him straighten his collar: "What else?"

"I used to be in Yanbei. I was riding a horse in the desert alone. A lame jackal walked towards me. I almost fell off the horse in fright. At that time, I thought, this is Xiao Yuzhi." Xu Guanchen endured the pain. I couldn't help laughing, "It doesn't seem to be..."

Being domesticated is not something to be very proud of.

But seeing him laugh, Xiao Zhi was also in a good mood.

Being domesticated is indeed not a proud thing, but a willing thing.

Xiao Zhi led him up to the Forbidden City Tower, and when he reached the last step, a red sun jumped out from the sky, and the sky was so bright that it illuminated the entire Jinling City.

The towers in the palace are made of stone, and there is no building taller than the towers in Jinling City. Standing on the towers, you can see the entire Jinling City.

Below is the gate of the palace, from here to the palace.

It just so happened that the time for the palace ban had passed, and the guards below pushed the heavy city gate, making a dull sound.

Xiao Zhi turned his head, looked at the little Taoist priest beside him, and said: "The afternoon when I led the army into the palace city, I stood on the tower and watched. The vastness of the world was mine. Later, I remembered that there was a little Taoist priest who was not in the palace. inside--"

"I just want to snatch you back and put them together with those rare treasures in the palace, and lock you together with those treasures in the Zhenhe palace, so that you can become one of them, the one I like the most." Xiao Zhi licked his lips. The back molars, staring at him like prey, "And later, you fell into a trap."

Xu Guanchen is not afraid of him at all now, clasped his hands together, and muttered softly: "It's nice to say, I've been in the palace for three years, and I haven't seen you lock me up yet. I just dared to do it secretly in the room while I wasn't there. Say my name."

"You are not like those dead things."

Xiao Zhi pressed the back of his head and pushed him into his arms.Xu Guanchen shook his head, unable to move away, only heard Xiao Zhi's strong heartbeat.

Xiao Zhi continued: "I lost it once before—"

He meant to use angry words to make Xu Guanchen run to Yanbei once a year.

"I lost it and found it again, so I am sincere and frightened."

Xu Guanchen was pressed into his arms, and suddenly reached out to pat him: "I'm suffocating."

He raised his head, took a long breath, but buried his head in his arms again, and said softly: "I like you very much, too."

"The palace taught me resentment and hatred, but didn't teach me how to like people." Xiao Zhi supported his shoulders, then held his face, "Little Taoist, teach me."

"Well, I'll teach you."

Xu Guanchen followed his movements and raised his head slightly.

When his lips were on his upper lip, Xu Guanchen glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw the guard guarding the palace gate below, and pushed Xiao Zhi twice: "There is someone."

He didn't push it away, forgetting that his hands were too strong.
