The happy life of the devil and the devil

The new wind blows the snow violently, making a rustling sound on the pillars of the eaves and porch.

In the darkness, Yuan Shao opened his eyes unexpectedly, and counted the sounds of watches coming from far outside the window.

It's three o'clock.He who had always slept soundly, unexpectedly woke up at the darkest hour of the night.

The bedroom was quiet, and there was no sound of breathing from the second person, nor the temperature from another body.This kind of quietness was something he was familiar with and loved. For this reason, even the concubines who served the bedroom were mostly not allowed to stay in the bedroom, but at this moment, it could only make him frown slightly, and he couldn't fall asleep even after several times of calm breathing.

...That guy, isn't he still kneeling outside?Such a big snowstorm...

Forget it, in the end, Ling Yucheng dealt with his subordinates and sent people to make amends. More than a dozen heads, two or three hundred people were beaten to the ground by military sticks, and he wanted to appease Huqi Wei also had something to say.As for the others - what the Hussar Guards want is the attitude of his lord, Ling Yucheng has knelt in the snow for so long, even if the losses of the Hussars Guards were twice as heavy, it cannot be said that his lord is too partial .

Always his queen, the state is at stake, how can he be punished?In the middle of the night, I have learned enough lessons, let's call it a day.

While thinking, he has already put on his clothes.Approaching step by step along the Chaoshou corridor, before stepping into the atrium full of ice and snow, Ling Yucheng bowed his head and turned his back to him, and called out in a low voice: "Your Majesty."

The breath in the middle is weak like a gossamer, obviously he has raised his voice as much as possible, but almost as soon as he uttered it, he was swept away by the wind and snow.

Seeing this, he was already very cold, and if he knelt down again, he might really hurt his roots... Yuan Shao sighed silently to himself, and finally said loudly: "Forget it, it's up to you. Remember, There will be no next time!"

"Your Majesty calm down... I don't dare anymore."

The man kneeling on the ground trembled and wanted to stand up, but he still didn't dare. He kowtowed in the snow and thanked him before struggling to stand up.Yuan Shao walked in front with his hands behind his back, hearing that although Ling Yucheng was staggering, he would not fall down, so he was relieved to let him wash himself, returned to the bed by himself, and fell asleep with his eyes closed for a while.

This time, he didn't sleep soundly, and he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell the reason.Yuan Shao suddenly opened his eyes and listened for a moment. The big bed was against the other side of the wall, and Ling Yucheng was lying on his side with his back facing him as usual, breathing lightly, as usual—wait!

Lifting half of his body from the pillow, he reached out to touch the bottom of his quilt. Sure enough, he was curled up into a tight ball. The quilt was like ice, and there was no heating at all.When he withdrew his hand, he wiped it on his forehead by the way, his palm was wet, and his hand was covered with cold sweat.

"you--"

Yuan Shao was angry and anxious for a moment, he stretched out his hand to lift off the tightly wrapped quilt on Ling Yucheng's body, grabbed Ling Yucheng with his long arm, and dragged Ling Yucheng directly into his bed.Where is the person in the embrace, it is clearly a ball of cold ice, and when it encounters the heating, it immediately trembles more violently, Yuan Shao clearly felt the body in his embrace tremble, and instinctively wanted to stick to himself, so he moved A movement stopped again.

At this time, Yuan Shao didn't have time to take care of him, he carefully pressed the corner of the quilt to ensure that there was no cold wind leaking in from all around, and then he stretched out his right arm to let Ling Yucheng sleep on him, and wrapped his left arm around his waist, hugging him tightly. In his arms, let his back stick to his chest.While lying down again, he whispered in his ear: "Why don't you say it's frozen like this?"

"Your Majesty...how dare...to disturb His Majesty."

Just a few words, accompanied by the rattling sound of the teeth, came to the ear, and only this sentence was divided into three paragraphs before it could be finished.At this time, Yuan Shao didn't even bother to scold him, so he straightened Ling Yucheng's curled up limbs one by one with his hands and feet, and then pressed his left palm on his chest, and said heavily: "Shut up!" , Luck!" Taking a deep breath, he sent out his yang and mellow internal energy without hesitation.

The scalding warm current pours from the heart, enters the mutton, descends the pubic region, turns around the caudal vertebra and goes up the spine, patrols the center of the gate of life, rushes from Lingtai Dazhui to Baihui, and then falls slowly.After making two or three circles like this, he felt Ling Yucheng's inner breath dormant in his dantian move, slowly joined in, and started to work under the coercion of his inner force.

The body in his arms gradually warmed up, and his cold and stiff limbs stretched out, no longer greedily absorbing the warmth from his body.Yuan Shao let out a breath, slowly withdrew his inner strength, and let Ling Yucheng exercise his kung fu to expel the cold, and pressed the left hand circle on his chest back, and groped along his shoulder all the way to his fingertips.

Usually, the two of them would exchange moves, although there are times when they would embrace and hug each other, but they would always break up instantly.He has never been hugged in such a quiet way—the 25-year-old young man's body is flexible and slender. Due to his daily martial arts practice, even if his limbs are still, there is strength that cannot be ignored. The wet hair is scattered on the pillow. Moisture enters the breath, with a fresh smell of rain and sunshine.

In terms of height, Ling Yucheng is half a head shorter, and his shoulders are also slightly narrower. Compared with the northern men he sees every day, his figure is inevitably a little thinner.Yuan Shao stretched his arms to the end, just holding Ling Yucheng's icy fingertips in his hands, and the back of his feet pressed against the center of his feet, just holding the whole body in his arms to warm him up, completely wrapped in his own body temperature.

This guy, probably afraid of disturbing his rest, hurriedly soaked in the hot spring, washed off the ice and snow on his body, and rushed back.Curled up in the bed, I can't get warm no matter what, and I dare not make any movement. If he didn't wake up and realized something was wrong, and pulled him into his arms, I'm afraid he would still be suffering...

"It's frozen like this, why don't you know luck?"

Feeling that the breathing of the person in his arms is getting quieter, it should be that a round of luck has been completed, Yuan Shao retracted his arms around his waist, tightened the person in his arms, and couldn't help scolding in a low voice.Originally, I didn't expect Ling Yucheng to make any excuses, but unexpectedly, his body trembled slightly, he lowered his head, and replied softly:

"When you're being punished... how dare you use your kung fu."

"What..." Yuan Shao just wanted to say something nonsense to you, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind. When he dealt with the two dereliction of duty guards given to him, he seemed to have mentioned it in passing.However, it's okay if you don't want to think about it, but when you think about this incident, your anger will rise even more, if the two of you are not wrapped tightly in the bed, you will want to lift him up and whip him a few times.

"Compare yourself to that screwdriver slave! Who are you and what are they? If I had known, I wouldn't have brought you in. Letting you freeze to death in the snow would be better than being stupid!"

"..."

It's so hard to cry.Most of the emotional freezing in the middle of the night was for nothing—Ling Yucheng trembled and didn't speak, Yuan Shao was even more annoyed when he remembered the past, and couldn't help pouring out all his depression:

"At this time, I think of following the rules! The time when I was so focused on fighting against me! It's better to bow your head earlier than to kneel in the snow all night long!"

"minister……"

"Shut up! You're so cold that you can't even raise your internal strength, don't you know how to shout? Since you followed me until now, you've insisted on everything by yourself. If you give in to me, you'll die?"

While scolding, he groped down the joints of his shoulders to relax his tendons and activate blood circulation, rubbing the acupuncture points, and because he was angry, he exerted extra force with his five fingers.It wasn't until he was sure that Ling Yucheng's arms and fingertips were warm, then he withdrew his arms and shouted in his ear: "Legs!"

Legs... This is the most troublesome place.

After being wrapped in his arms for so long, with the ironing of body temperature and the infusion of internal force, most of his body has already warmed up.However... Ling Yucheng barely moved, the knees were still numb, and he could feel the flexion and extension of his toes, but he wanted to curl up his whole leg, but he couldn't do it after struggling twice.

Before he could continue to try, a big hand came down along the side of his waist, grabbed the left thigh and lifted it up, and then clasped the knee with five fingers.Before he could move, fiery internal energy poured in along the meridians, from knees to toes, the frozen limbs relaxed almost immediately.

Ling Yucheng let out a sigh of relief.

The palm clasping the knee began to move, and the palm was close to the front of the calf and gradually descended. The five fingers rubbed and pressed the acupoints on both sides, encircling the ankle, kneading the Yongquan acupoint for a while, and then covering the toes. Spit out quickly.After one round, it returned to the middle of the thigh, and the fingers were hooked into the acupuncture points of the skin on the leg like iron hooks, and started to massage down one by one again.

Ling Yucheng lay in Yuan Shao's arms with his eyes closed, feeling that the legs and feet being massaged by him turned from cold to warm, and his consciousness gradually recovered.Only at this time did I feel that the knees were going down like thousands of needles and thousands of needles. The internal force traveling through the meridians was carrying a warm current and was constantly scouring from top to bottom. Down.Knowing that the cold air that had accumulated all night was being driven out slowly, he clenched his teeth as hard as he could, panting in small mouthfuls, to prevent himself from tossing and turning, and even humming in embarrassment.

In this way, there is no need to worry about the two legs... If His Majesty hadn't spared his internal energy to drive him away from the cold, he would have to wait until tomorrow to use moxibustion or something, and it would be a little troublesome. , maybe you will have to be sore for a few days.

His Majesty……

Thinking of this, the bottom of my heart suddenly felt sour and swollen, almost overflowing from my chest.

Several times of disobedience, disregarding the contradiction between the monarch and his ministers.No punishment was too much. In fact, when Yuan Shao Zhongye came out with his clothes on and asked him to go in, he thought it was the best treatment he could get.

Those cares and kindness in the past, talking and laughing with Yanyan as friends, I thought it had nothing to do with him anymore.

Curled up under the quilt to endure the cold, not daring to make a sound to disturb the sleeping lord,...unexpectedly, what he fell into was a warm embrace.

"His Majesty……"

"Ok?"

She wanted to open her mouth to at least say thank you, but when she reached the point of her mouth, she just quietly raised her hand and clasped it on the arm that he let himself rest on.

The palms rubbing down along the legs and feet didn't stop. After two back and forth, it seemed that it was still inconvenient, so they grabbed the thin silk on the trouser legs and stretched it twice.There was a dull ripping sound at the bottom of the quilt, and the part of the pajama pants below the middle of the thigh had been torn apart. After a few more tores, the white trousers worn at bedtime had turned into shorts, and the silk underneath had long been in pieces. I don't know where to go.

"...!"

A sharp throbbing pain suddenly rushed up the spine from the back of the thigh. Before Ling Yucheng could react, he had already involuntarily bounced up violently. The fingers holding Yuan Shao suddenly tightened—if he hadn’t bit his lower lip in time, he would have almost blurted out. Scream out!

"what happened?"

The hand that caused the pain withdrew and stretched out the bed, and the smell of blood and a faint smell of medicine immediately came to the nostrils.Pausing for a while, he went back to the original place and stroked the wound again. This time, the force was much gentler. Ling Yucheng didn't need to look, he knew that what he touched must be sticky and bloody, and... his skin was not as smooth as usual. A different touch.

"...It's just a stick injury." He tried his best to keep his voice steady while panting, "I've already taken the medicine."

"It's just a stick injury?" The questioning voice was more than one tone higher than his. Before he could answer, Yuan Shao had turned over and sat up, and lit the fire with a "click", "What? Just call!"

"Only twenty army sticks." The dancing candlelight pierced his eyes, Ling Yucheng instinctively narrowed his eyes, and was pushed down on the bed involuntarily. "Medicine has been used to stop the bleeding—it's really not serious, and they didn't dare to seriously beat it hard."

With his usual command of the army, twenty army sticks are enough to make people unable to climb up.He was still able to ride into the palace on horseback after being beaten by the army sticks - if it was serious, it was when the gang of guys rushed forward, and the injury from Jia Ye was more severe.

Yuan Shao had already frowned.Under the candlelight, the backs of the two legs were covered with bruises and crisscrossed. From the thighs to the calves, many skins were torn, and the shocking bloodstains were connected one after another.This look still has the face to say "really not heavy"...

This guy really didn't let him worry for a moment.

"Why didn't you tell me before you got hurt like this?" Asked, he lifted his bottom shirt to check. Fortunately, the skin on his back and buttocks was smooth and intact, and it seemed that it was only his two legs that suffered.Yuan Shao just heaved a sigh of relief, but when he heard Ling Yucheng's answer, he couldn't help being furious again.

"It's too cold to feel..."

"Didn't I ask you this!—You just entered the palace with your wounds to plead guilty? Then you knelt outside in the snow for most of the night? Do you want your two legs!" , he would not give such a cruel punishment, maybe he would just scold him a few words.The beating has been suffered, and the ceremony has also been compensated, the dignified queen, do you really have to investigate and give them an explanation?Does he want to save face as the emperor?

Glancing over from the corner of the eye, Ling Yucheng flinched, buried himself in the pillow and refused to answer.Even with his knees, he knew what he was thinking - pleading guilty and begging for mercy in front of the lord with such a thing?That is not something Ling Yucheng can do.

Sighing, he covered him with the quilt, stretched out his hand to pull the bell rope next to the bed, and couldn't help but slap him hard when he withdrew his hand, the slap fell on the head, and finally changed to rubbing:

"You are really good at yourself! They dare to fight!"

"It's the minister's fault, not punishing is not enough to convince the crowd." Ling Yucheng's voice was flat, "After the beating today, it will be much more convenient to make some changes later."

So his army is important, what he has to do is important, and only he is unimportant?Yuan Shao took a deep breath, and wanted to knock twice, there was already a light trot sound outside the house, and a moment later someone knelt down in the main room through the door curtain, and said softly: "Master?"

"Hot water."

After an order, there was no sound in the bedroom, and it didn't take long for a large basin of hot water to be brought into the bedroom, and the tightly wrung handkerchiefs were handed into the tent one by one, and thrown out one by one, Seeing the bright red blood on the handkerchief, the eunuch kneeling outside the tent was terrified.

Your Majesty this time is really...

"Call the imperial doctor."

"Your Majesty—the ointment is ready, on the first floor of the bedside table, that red-glazed jar. It is used to astringent and stop bleeding."

The voice of a man who was clearly different from His Majesty spoke was low, with a taste of lack of breath, but it was obviously obstructing.The eunuch bowed his head and waited for a while. Hearing His Majesty's snort, he didn't have the intention to persist. He hurriedly tossed lightly, and carefully carried the porcelain jar into it.

The scent of medicine diffused immediately.

After an unknown amount of time, the flickering dormitory fell into deep darkness once again.

Under the brocade quilt, the two lay down side by side, and neither of them spoke for a long time.

Gently kneading Ling Yucheng's legs again, making sure that he has returned to warmth from his knees to his feet, Yuan Shao let out a long sigh, let his back rest firmly on his chest, and retracted his arms around his waist:

"You..."

"minister--"

"Okay." Yuan Shao patted Ling Yucheng's arm comfortingly when he heard that Ling Yucheng's voice was still cautious, "I won't bother you anymore. Go to sleep."

For some reason, the moment Ling Yucheng heard these words, his heart groaned fiercely, and his heart was full of sorrow and grief, and he couldn't help but surged up, bursting the embankment in an instant.

The palm on Yuan Shao's forearm tightened instinctively, and then loosened as if electrocuted, and the five fingers grasped the quilt at hand, as if trying to scratch a few holes in it.

Obviously I shouldn't feel wronged, I know it's all my fault... But, but...

The soreness and pain in the chest was so severe, and it took a lot of effort to keep it from rushing to the throat and eye sockets.

It's been a long time, and I haven't been forgiven in such an understatement after doing something wrong, just laugh it off, and never worry about it again.

Wanting to say something, his chest heaved violently for a while, and finally blurted out only two words trembling in a low voice:

"His Majesty……"

He suddenly turned to the outside, his forehead resting deeply on Yuan Shao's shoulder, one arm wrapped around his waist, and he tightened it towards himself with all his strength:

"His Majesty!"

In the darkness, Yuan Shao patted his trembling shoulders over and over again, without speaking for a long time.

The author has something to say: Eunuch A:

Last night, His Majesty got very angry, and the Queen knelt in the snow for an unknown amount of time.

Eunuch B:

In the middle of the night, the lights in the upper room were turned on and hot water was called.Every piece of cloth towel thrown out of the tent was stained with blood.I also took medicine...

Eunuch A & B:

……
