Dingbei Hou's doctor brother

Lu Ziqing put the tray on the table and wanted to turn around to ask Xiao Yan to get up for breakfast. But before he could turn around completely, his waist suddenly tightened.

He shuddered with fear and tried to pull away the hand around his waist, but Xiao Yan held it tightly, resting his chin on the crook of his neck, sniffing lazily.

"Qingqing, it's cold, sleep a little longer."

Lu Ziqing couldn't bear to hear the word "Qingqing". It was so corny that it made him feel numb from his back to the top of his head.

How did it turn out like this? He looked at his breakfast with helplessness and anxiety.

This time I have become a complete sinner. It is my own fault. I should not have been so hesitant and soft-hearted, which led to such a bad situation.

Lu Ziqing was tired and stopped struggling. He let Xiao Yan hold him and said softly, "Wash up and have breakfast first. We still have to go to the government office."

It was rare for Xiao Yan to feel him so obedient, and he was reluctant to let him go. He tilted his head and kissed his red ear, saying softly, "I'm not going to court today, so let's not talk about this now."

Lu Ziqing whispered to him, "Let me go before you go to court. Have breakfast. I... don't feel well."

Xiao Yan finally took notice. He let go of Lu Ziqing, hugged him, and looked at him carefully, asking worriedly, "What's wrong? Did you catch a cold?"

"No."

Lu Ziqing spoke cautiously and awkwardly. He avoided people and took small steps to sit down at the table. Seeing that he walked stiffly, Xiao Yan became anxious and sat beside him to protect him.

"Is it a recurrence of an old injury?"

Lu Ziqing blushed as he served the porridge. Without even looking at anyone, he grumbled softly, "My Lord, don't you understand what I'm doing?"

Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly understood. Thinking of the soul-stirring and delicious pleasure last night, he couldn't stop and kept tormenting the woman until most of the night.

The long-empty heart was finally filled. His fingertips touched the red earlobe. This was the line of defense where Lu Ziqing collapsed, and it was the place where he lingered for a long time.

"You last night... I couldn't control my emotions. I couldn't control myself for a moment. I'm sorry."

"You..." Lu Ziqing put down the porridge and lowered her eyebrows shyly, like a naive and naive wife, "Can you please stop talking? Let's... Lord Marquis, just pretend that what happened last night never happened."

Xiao Yan was a little anxious and held his hand. "We did that last night. How can you ask me to pretend it never happened? Ziqing, don't always avoid me, okay? Don't avoid yourself either. Besides, weren't you very happy last night..."

"Don't say it."

Lu Ziqing quickly cut him off. He had never thought that he would have such inappropriate desires under a man, and that they would be entangled so explicitly. This was tantamount to stripping him naked in the street, which was extremely embarrassing.

"You... stop talking, I don't want to hear it."

Xiao Yan looked at his side profile as he avoided her and asked bluntly, "Do you mind that I'm not a woman?"

"I……"

How do you answer this?

Caring is equal to hurting people, not caring is equal to disliking, which is still hurting people.

This is the trouble of being involved in the world of mortals. Lu Ziqing doesn't like it, nor does he dare to like it. The pain of having no beginning and no end is worse than being alone.

The feeling of falling into the dust is too bitter. He has become accustomed to it. Even in his dreams, he can only hide under the gray and white and dare not be too presumptuous, let alone touch the sunlight in reality.

He finally looked at Xiao Yan, then looked around and said something else, "Who am I to you, Lord? A lover? You have a wife, and I'm a man. Do you intend to live like this for the rest of your life, without any descendants?"

"Not a lover." Xiao Yan said piously.

"I was born to defend my country. I've never known joy. Born into a noble family, I've been blessed by the emperor's grace and honor, and I must be loyal to my country. Honor and disgrace may be beyond my control. I can't just be myself. In this class, marriage is nothing more than a bond of interest. Before I met you, I would probably have accepted my fate and followed the path that was set in stone to complete my mission in this life."

"But it's different now. Your appearance makes me want to live selfishly for once. Since God has placed you, a man, by my side, he has already made the choice for me. I, Xiao Yan, will only have you, Lu Ziqing, as my lover in this life. There will be no other."

The noble families may have times when they are forced to do things against their will, but they are still above the clouds.

Lu Ziqing didn't avoid his gaze and said softly, "My Lord, why are you so persistent? Being tied to me will only harm you. I don't want to see you being cursed by the world for me in the future. I..."

As he spoke, he didn't know what he was thinking about. Suddenly, he felt uncomfortable. He lowered his brows and pondered. When he looked up again, his eyes seemed to be a little red, but there was a kind of regret in his eyes that he had never felt before.

"My Lord, you still don't understand me. I'm afraid you and I will only be able to fight each other from now on."

Xiao Yan felt uncomfortable listening to this. He could read the regret in Lu Ziqing's eyes as a sign of attachment and reluctance.

"I said, no matter who you are, I only want you. I want Lu Ziqing as a person, not as an identity. Do you understand?"

Lu Ziqing felt heavy and conflicted while eating this breakfast. He had asked for leave from the yamen because he was not feeling well today, and he did not agree to let Xiao Yan stay overnight.

I thought I would feel more relaxed after a day's rest, but the pain in my back and waist was still there the next day. I could only take small steps when walking, which made everyone in the hospital concerned and sympathetic.

Only after several imperial physicians left the library did Lu Ziqing breathe a sigh of relief. He frowned and supported his waist to put the book back on the bookshelf. The bookshelf was too high, and when he stood on tiptoe to put the book up, his waist hurt.

He rubbed his lower back and muttered, "This is such a waste."

"What's the matter?"

Lu Ziqing was startled, and when he turned his head, he saw Chi Musheng walking in. He was caught off guard and smiled awkwardly to cover it up, "No, nothing."

"Are you really injured?" Chi Musheng looked at him and asked, "Where are you hurt? Let me see. Have you applied medicine?"

Lu Ziqing quickly put his hand down and said nonchalantly, "No, no need to apply medicine, I just twisted my waist accidentally, it will be fine in a few days."

"Twisted your waist?" Chi Musheng looked incredulous. "How could you, a grown man like you, have twisted your waist? Did you get into a fight?"

When Lu Ziqing heard the word "fight", his mind subconsciously flashed back to last night when Xiao Yan was tossing him around like a madman, and his face immediately turned red.

He covered his lips and coughed a few times, "No, don't guess. What book are you looking for?"

Chi Musheng said "Oh", "I just came back and heard them say you were injured, so I rushed over to see you, I'm glad you're okay."

Lu Ziqing gritted his teeth and strode out the door. When he returned to the office and hadn't even sat down yet, Feng Qi walked in.

He and Chi Musheng went over to greet him, "Eunuch Feng, what's going on?"

Feng Qi held himself in a stately manner, with a smile in his eyes, and said, "We are here to convey the Emperor's oral instructions, and the Lu Court is here to hear his orders."

Oral instruction?

Could it be that the emperor agreed to resign?

Lu Ziqing quickly knelt down and listened to Feng Qi say, "Send Court Judge Lu to the palace immediately. There must be no mistakes."

Go to the palace?

Nothing good happened the last time I went to the temple, is it happening again this time?

Lu Ziqing felt a little uneasy. After receiving the order, he stood up and respectfully asked Feng Qi, "Excuse me, Eunuch Feng, what is the purpose of the emperor's summons?"

Feng Qi still smiled, "We servants are only summoned by the emperor. As for what the matter is, we will know it after Lu Yuanjue goes there. Hurry up, the emperor and the civil and military ministers are waiting."
