Dingbei Hou's doctor brother

"No wonder he speaks so childishly." Lu Ziqing said.

"However, judging from his words and actions, he doesn't seem foolish. He knows a lot of things, but he's slow to understand them. If he's carefully cared for and taught, perhaps he'll improve."

At this moment, Chen Ji suddenly jumped to the door and roared, with a cloth draped over his head, and said happily: "You are scared by me."

Lu Ziqing smiled speechlessly, "You're scared, go to sleep next door."

Unexpectedly, Chen Ji not only didn't listen, but also grabbed his arm and led him into the house, putting his arm around his shoulders with a playful smile.

"I'm afraid of the cold. I want to sleep with you tonight."

"no!"

"no!"

The two responded at the same time, then looked at each other, tacitly remembered something, and then looked away awkwardly.

Xiao Yan coughed lightly and stared at Chen Ji with a serious face, "Prince Su, go to the next room to rest. I will send someone to take you back to the palace tomorrow."

"I do not."

Chen Ji was a little afraid of him, so he grabbed Lu Ziqing's arm and hid behind him, tilting his head to look at Xiao Yan, as if he was being bullied.

"Brother Shenxian, he looks so fierce, even fiercer than Chang Wang. I don't like him."

Lu Ziqing glanced at Xiao Yan, smiled secretly, and turned his head to coax Chen Ji.

"Didn't you promise me that you would be obedient when you came here? Why aren't you listening now?"

Chen Ji lowered his head slightly like a puppy, "I'm scared to sleep alone in the small dark room at home. I don't want to go next door."

As he spoke, he let go of her hand and walked towards the bed. He lifted the quilt and lay down inside, turning his back with only his head showing.

"Hey, is he being shameless?

Xiao Yan took a big step towards the bed, ready to grab the mangy dog ​​and stuff it into the next room. Lu Ziqing immediately grabbed his arm and sighed.

"Forget it, let him be. He must have been bullied a lot in the mansion. He's afraid. Last night..."

He wanted to say that he didn't get enough rest last night and went to bed early, but as soon as those two words came out, he was immediately dragged into embarrassment because of his quick words, and he slapped himself twice in his heart.

There was a moment of silence, and Xiao Yan also felt uneasy. He moved closer and whispered, "I'm... sorry for last night."

It would have been fine if he hadn't said it, but once he said it, Lu Ziqing's face immediately turned red as if he had been scalded by boiling water.

He knew that this matter had nothing to do with Xiao Yan, so if you think about it, he still saved him.

only……

Lu Ziqing said awkwardly: "...Well, Lord Marquis, go and have a rest."

The temperature outside was only a few degrees. In the light and shadow, one could see the hot breath coming out of Xiao Yan's mouth. He glanced sideways at the closed door behind him, thinking to himself that he should send that mangy dog ​​away as soon as possible tomorrow.

He left Chongcuixuan and turned to the main courtyard. He pushed open the dark door and walked in. Then he closed it with a "click". A dim light soon came from inside, illuminating the three words "Junlanzhai" above the door.

On the second day, in the princess's mansion, Su Xin was standing by the door of the side room with food in her hand, and Chen Jing knocked on the door.

"Xining, quickly open the door and come out to eat. Do you hear me? Xining, Xining?"

"Go away, all of you go away, I don't want you." Xining shouted uncontrollably in the house.

Su Xin's face was burning with anxiety as she asked Chen Jing, "Your Highness, what should we do? The princess had nightmares last night and vomited up the half bowl of porridge she had when she woke up. She didn't eat anything in the morning and hasn't let us in yet, and it's already noon."

Chen Jing glanced at the rain curtain under the eaves, then turned and ordered his followers standing in the corridor, "Go and see if Qingjun has arrived."

The attendant took the message and left. Chen Jing knocked on the door again and softened his voice to coax Xining.

"Xining, Ning'er, I'm the prince. Open the door. If you have any grievances, you can tell me. I'll help you, okay?"

There was no response from the room. Only Xining could be heard laughing, crying, and screaming in fear. Chen Jing's face was extremely anxious as he paced back and forth in the corridor.

"What has Qingjun been doing? Why hasn't he come in for so long?"

He hurried to the corridor and met a dark shadow when he turned the corner. Xiao Yan happened to walk out. Chen Jing relaxed his brows and grabbed him as if relieved.

"You're finally here. Where have you been for most of the afternoon?"

Xiao Yan's shoulder was wet from the rain. As he walked, he said, "I went to Prince Su's Mansion. How is the princess?"

When Chen Jing heard the three words "Prince Su's Mansion" which had not been mentioned for a long time, he paused for a second and then turned to the princess.

"She won't eat and has locked herself in her room and won't come out. I'm going to call you because I have no other choice."

Xiao Yan stopped in front of the wing room door, knocked on it, and said dryly: "Princess, I am Xiao Yan, please open the door."

He didn't call out again, but just waited for a while. Sure enough, there was no more noise inside. The next moment, the door opened.

Xining was wearing a plain white shirt, with disheveled hair, and standing barefoot in front of the door, staring straight at Xiao Yan, as if he only recognized this person in his eyes.

She showed some joy, "You're here?"

Xiao Yan's eyes moved slightly, he didn't know what to say, but he said directly, "Princess, please eat your meal."

Xining said "hmm", and Su Xin also showed a look of joy. She was about to bring the food over, but Chen Jing raised his hand to stop her and gave her a look. She immediately understood and handed the food to Xiao Yan.

Chen Jing patted Xiao Yan's arm and took Su Xin to the lobby to wait.

Xiao Yan entered the room and put the food on the table. A cold wind blew in, causing the curtains in the room to flutter and the heating to go down.

Seeing that Xining was wearing thin clothes and barefoot, he closed the door and reminded her, "Princess, put on your clothes and shoes and come to eat."

Xining did as he was told like an obedient child. He sat down at the table, picked up the spoon and scooped up the porridge. After taking a bite, he stopped and looked at Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan seemed a little helpless and said, "Princess, eat quickly. I won't leave."

"Don't lie to me anymore." Xining smiled relievedly, then frowned again, "When you're not around, they keep coming to see me. I can't sleep at night."

Xiao Yan sighed secretly and comforted her, "Those were just dreams, not real. They have been imprisoned. Princess, you don't have to be afraid anymore. There are so many people in the mansion, Su Xin is here too, so you are safe."

"No." Xining's eyes were filled with worry again. He shook his head gently and said childishly, "They can't protect me, only you can. Can you please not leave?"

Xiao Yan said, "I have official duties every day and cannot accompany the princess every day. The princess must eat and take medicine on time so that she can get better and stop dreaming about them at night."

"Then..." Xining was a little anxious, but he didn't dare to ask for too much. He begged, "Can you come and see me when you are free?"

"This... I..." Xiao Yan was embarrassed and didn't know how to answer. He never thought that it would be like this.

Seeing that he looked hesitant, as if afraid that he would disappear, Xining immediately grabbed his wrist, his eyes showing the same panic of worry and anxiety as before, and he just looked at him without saying a word.

The silent plea made Xiao Yan feel more and more embarrassed. He was afraid that the princess would not be able to calm down in a short time after being frightened.

He thought for a moment and compromised, "I'll try my best. Princess, please enjoy your meal first."
