A family is missing

On the return journey, the two of them shared a horse and did not slow down the journey, and even returned home earlier than the housekeeper.

Dr. Shen was called to check the person carefully again.

Apart from being a little weak and needing to be recuperated, there is nothing serious about it.

"However..." Dr. Shen hesitated to speak, his eyes lingered on the prince and the little mute.

The prince understood, but just shook his head, "I'll call you next time. It's late at night, let Dong Er take you back."

A group of people rushed back at night, and the chef and his wife were called up to make some supper.

Especially when she heard that it was made for the little mute, the cook slashed the chopping board with a kitchen knife, "If he can eat all the cooking today, I don't care about him poisoning my Ah Huang to death."

As he said that, he went to grab the peppercorns.

Before the servant who came to deliver the report opened his mouth, the chef said coldly: "I don't know who it is. I heard that Qiu Sheng was injured before, so I hurriedly told me to make soup. Now I think of your stupid dog. "

The cook was speechless, and threw the peppercorns back.

"Hmph, it's not... It's not so pitiful."

In the end, the cook's voice became smaller and smaller, and she lit a fire to boil water.

Take a whole bite to satisfy your hunger.

The prince was lying down on the bed again with his arms in his arms.

"There are too many goji berries in Jiuniandan, should Jiuniang goji berries? We should bring Jin Yan's cook back."

The little mute thought that if you were torturing people like this, no one would be able to cook something delicious.

In fact, it was a bit too sweet, but I didn't eat too much wolfberry.

But just thinking about it in my heart, I didn't say it.

"Qiu Sheng, how old are you?"

The prince curled the ends of the little mute's hair with his fingers, playing it addictively.

"Nineteen."

"Have suffered a lot."

"Master and brother are very kind to me."

"Who did you study under?"

"...My master has been living in seclusion for some years, it's Geng Fushan."

"Geng Fushan in the rain. I met your master once when I was a child. Listening to the voice, he is a fat old man with a hearty and kind face."

"Master is actually... Daogu Xianfeng."

Daogu Xianfeng - a euphemism for "thin".

In the ear is the little mute who whispers softly, like a bellows on a stove, blowing the fire in his heart little by little.

"Then—then is the old man still in good health?"

"Passed away last year."

The prince couldn't help feeling sorry for him, although it wasn't considered a teenager who lost his father, it was not bad.

Turning sideways, holding the little mute's hand, pressing it into his arms, "Don't be sad. I will be there from now on."

The little mute said, "It's all right. It's over."

The senior brother also said, and the prince also said.

and them.

Although I know this sentence is actually full of too many uncertainties.

At least for this moment, I can sleep peacefully.

The butler came back in the middle of the night.

The servant guarding the gate said that the prince specially left a supper for Butler Liu.

The housekeeper thought that the prince is really in a good mood and even treats me well.

There is a ceramic pot and a ceramic spoon on the tray, and next to it is my favorite flower porcelain bowl.

He lifted the lid of the pot to fill a bowl, and looked inside.

A pot full of goji berries.

someday.

The little mute consciously woke up very early.

But there was no one around.

At the bedside, I found my clothes and a kit.

It was the kit he used to hold the bell.

Take the clothes and put them on your body little by little.

bell bell bell.

Ring ring ring ring ring.

Ever since the two met, the bell had been tied to the prince.

As soon as the bell rang, Qiu Sheng hurriedly put on his clothes and buttoned them.

In the past few days, the prince always takes care of her with his own hands.

But he behaved like a gentleman at night.

Leaving a life of avoidance and danger.

Looking at the relationship between the lord and himself, the little mute didn't quite understand.

He thought that the prince regained his eyesight, and seeing the sky picture in the dark cell, the matter of Tuo Tu would be solved easily.

So when he noticed that the prince was looking for him, he didn't know whether it was because the prince didn't find Qiongtu or because he left without saying goodbye.

When he was caught, what he faced was neither interrogation nor anger.

Turns out there was a third option.

Perhaps it was this third choice that allowed him to succeed in Tuotu's move, and gave him a chance to heal his eyes.

Perhaps the prince still has many questions in his mind.

Similarly, the little mute was also puzzled.

Only one, not sure yet.

But it doesn't matter what the answer is.

Before leaving Siping Town, the senior brother asked him if he wanted to leave.

want to go?

In fact, he wanted to stay in the palace.

When he doesn't need me anymore, I want to leave.

"The buttons are fastened." The lord held hands and pulled him to him, "Are you so afraid that I'll help you get dressed?"

The little mute blushed a little, "Nor...not at all."

"If you don't like it, you can tell me. I just don't do it."

The two sat at the round table, and the prince said in a sad tone, "I just want to treat you well."

The little mute was aggrieved by what the prince said, grabbed the hem of his clothes, said "I" and couldn't continue.

Let him say that he can do whatever he wants, and the little mute really can't speak.

Seeing the shame on his face, the lord made persistent efforts: "Didn't you serve me like this before? Can you replace me?"

The little mute said in his heart that I was well behaved, but in the end he also understood that the prince was sincere to him.

He flattened his mouth and stopped talking.

The prince put his arms around him and kissed him. Seeing that he was still a little reluctant, he said helplessly, "You..."

Finally, it is guaranteed that it will never exceed the rules.

The little mute turned his face away from him and muttered in a low voice: "Happy as you want."

The prince secretly smiled.

After breakfast, the prince said that your injuries are basically healed, and I can go out to solve an urgent matter with peace of mind.As little as three days, as many as seven days.

Before going out, the prince repeatedly confirmed.

You can wait for me to come back, right?

I won't run away again, right?

You don't need me to find someone to watch you.

I can believe you are not.

If I come back and find you gone, I'll catch you and put it on a chain, and put it on my belt.

As he spoke, he tugged on the bracelet.

Not only silver bells have been tied on the prince's wrist all the time.

In order not to get separated from the little mute, they tied wristbands together.

When I went to the street, I didn't untie it, and I didn't even let go of my hand.

The little mute struggled a little, but the prince clenched it even more brazenly, "I won't let go."

Finally the prince sighed.

Hey, shouldn't it be you looking for a chain to tie me to your waistband?

Just kidding, the prince still went out nervously.

Five days later.

"Hurry up and eat." As soon as the prince came back, he dug the little mute out of the bed to wash.

Like presenting treasures, he pulled people to the dining table, "Try how about this craft."

The little mute opened his mouth and was fed, "It's delicious, a bit like... from Mr. Jin's house."

"Ah."

"?! You go to Mr. Jin's residence..."

"I brought people here."

"..."

It turned out that the urgent matter was to pick up the chef.

"What about Mr. Jin?"

"He? We're having breakfast together in Liu Zhenqing's room now."

"..."

"Eat more, I will go on a long trip in a while. Maybe some days I won't be able to eat it."

"Are you leaving just now?"

"Well, let's go together."

The little mute didn't ask any more questions, just finished his meal honestly and packed up his things.

The prince brought some personal items, and went to Xishan Village in a carriage with the little mute.

Hearing that he was going to Xishan Village, the little mute finally realized that the reason why the prince didn't ask him about his eyes was probably because he found out.

After arriving at the destination, the prince took the little mute to another yard as soon as he settled down.

The prince said: "Old madam, I brought him here. Please show me your eyes."

The little mute was startled, and then heard a somewhat familiar voice: "My lord, you are being polite. So it is that young man."

It was the old woman from Xishan Village.

"If you say it's this young man, I will definitely not let you kneel and beg for three days."

The prince didn't have time to interrupt, "You..."

"In the final analysis, I am old and pedantic." After finishing speaking, the old lady wanted to kneel down.

The prince hurried forward to help.

It was the little mute, who was taken a step forward by the prince, and he regained his senses.

Can't help being moved: "My lord!"

The prince was ashamed, "I didn't think about it, I didn't want to let you know."

The little mute threw himself into the prince's arms, and kept dawdling, "Thank you, thank you. Thank you..."

The prince pulled the man out, clasped the little mute's shoulders with both hands, "You don't need to thank me, this is what I paid you back."

The little mute's heart tightened.

Yes, is it mine?

It's because you don't want to owe me.

I don't need you to pay it back.

The prince understood the momentary dejected expression on the little mute's face.

Qiu Sheng, you are blind because of me, so I must return it to you.

However, this is what I want to do for you.I can do anything for you, I just hope you never get hurt again, never get hurt for me again.

So you never, never say thank you to me.

I just want you to be well.

The little mute was agitated and couldn't hold himself.

So you still like me.

In the end, I just said that I am too.

I also just want you to be well.

From then on, the little mute would go to the old woman's yard for one or two hours every day.

He was also like the prince in the past, always wearing a cloth belt.

Usually, when the little mute is away, the prince will also tie a cloth belt, sit somewhere, or try to walk around.

Fuming seems to have happened not long ago.

Tasting the feeling of blindness again seems like a lifetime away.

You need to get better soon, little mute.

Finally, ten days passed.

The old woman told the prince to get ready to see the light again.

The prince is much more nervous than the little mute.

In the end, the little mute was too painful to be held by the prince's clenched hand, "How did you feel when you took off the cloth belt? Would you be afraid?"

The prince was silent for a moment.

It was not a good memory.

The little mute realized that he had said something wrong, and he looked annoyed, not knowing how to make it up.

However, the prince thought that because of his recovery of sight, some people fell into darkness and traveled long distances to complete an almost impossible task.And even if you know that if you do this, you will be like moths flying into the flames, you still have to come back to heal your eyes, and you still have to abide by the morality in your heart and leave again.

He smiled and said, "I was so excited at the time that I couldn't even remember what I was going to do. But there is one thing I wanted to do from the very beginning."

The little mute knew it, and smiled and said, "Look at my puppy eyes."

"Yeah, so are you ready?"

The little mute gave an "hmm".

The prince put his hand around the back of the little mute's head, and untied the cloth strip.

Originally, I wanted you to be the first person I saw after my recovery.

Now, I'm going to be the first person you see when you regain your sight.

The little mute opened his eyes, unable to adapt to the light for a while, instead he squinted his eyes and didn't know where to look.

But it was only for a moment, after refocusing his eyes, he looked at the man in front of him.

Seeing the little mute suddenly smile at him, the prince felt relieved.

Look closely at his eyes, even stick out his tongue and lick the lower eyelid.

The two looked at each other speechlessly, but the prince blushed instantly.

My little dumb, it really has wet eyes like a puppy.

Goodness!

The author has something to say: there are one or two extra episodes.
