Lock Xin

The dark clouds covered the faint moonlight, and the night was pitch black, and the emerald green branches and leaves seemed to be dyed with a touch of ink.The evening wind was slightly chilly, and the leaves rustled each other.

A few lanterns hung under the beams of the room, and the dim light of the candles was gradually swallowed up by the darkness.A thin figure was vaguely seen in the distance, the loose robes fluttered in the wind, the black hair bun was slightly loose, the broken hair hung down on the sideburns, the cheeks were slightly pale, and there was a hint of tiredness between the eyebrows and eyes.

Han Jun looked at the study room which was still bright, and strode over. Before he reached out to touch it, the door opened.Seeing the beautiful face in front of him, Han Jun even forgot the steps under his feet, "You are still waiting for me." There was a slight warmth in Han Jun's heart.

That day when he saw Gao Lin's figure in front of the mansion, he was overjoyed. He didn't expect that the Lord would give him a favor to let Gao Lin stay by his side, so that he could look at the figure of the person he likes every day, even Something he's longed for.

Han Jun was worried that Gao Lin would be frightened by an overly excited expression on his face, so he could only bury that feeling in his heart, occasionally secretly standing outside the room, looking at Gao Lin's figure.

"My lord, I'm a little worried that I haven't come back so late." Gao Lin took the scroll from Han Jun's hand and put it on the table.

"My lord and I have some important matters to discuss. I forgot the time and talked more. If I come back later, Gao Lin should go to bed earlier and don't wait for me." Although Han Jun persuaded , but he still hoped that a candle would be lit in the study, that someone was waiting for him.

With Gao Lin by his side, he will no longer be alone in the future.Han Jun originally thought that Gao Lin was only ordered to come to his mansion, but after getting along with Gao Lin in the past few days, he found that Gao Lin was not only doing things in the mansion, but also caring for him. Perhaps Gao Lin also had a little affection for him. Good impression.

"It's okay, it's not very late, so it doesn't matter if I wait." Gao Lin stretched out his hand to touch Han Jun's shoulder, trying to take off his coat, but the clothes he touched were so cold, Gao Lin frowned slightly , he put down his hand and lightly touched the back of Han Jun's hand, it was still cold without a trace of warmth.

Han Jun felt the temperature in his hand, and his fair cheeks were slightly rosy, so he couldn't help avoiding it slightly.Han Jun looked at the palm that Gao Lin moved away, feeling a little regretful in his heart, knowing that he should have held it just now.

"It's cold at night, it's easy to catch cold, why doesn't the prince wear more." Gao Lin looked at Han Jun's thin clothes and blamed him, he went to the side and took off the thick clothes and put them on Han Jun's body.

"I'm used to it." Han Jun lowered his head slightly. The temperature difference between the Xiongnu is a bit big. Maybe it's still hot in a thin coat at noon, but it's extremely cold at night. As the king of Zhongnan, he has many affairs under his command. It takes all day to get back.

"Could it be that the lord is also used to suffering from illness?" Gao Lin looked at Han Jun's pale face, and slowly realized the reason why the lord didn't care about his body, why didn't the maids tell him.

"I will wear more clothes in the future." There was no trace of anger on Han Jun's face, but the warmth in his heart became stronger.Gao Lin cared about him because he cared about him, and Han Jun was so happy that Gao Lin scolded him so much.

"It's also my fault that I forgot to remind the prince to add clothes today." Gao Lin realized that his tone just now was a bit too strong. If the person next to him was the Lord, he might have already lost his temper.Gao Lin looked at the people around him, his face still gentle.Han Jun's temperament is really good, even so good that Gao Lin can't bear to hurt him.

"My lord, drink a cup of tea to warm up your body first. I will tell the maid to go to the kitchen to prepare a bowl of ginger syrup for you." Gao Lin poured a cup of hot water and handed it to Han Jun, "Be careful, it's hot." He still did not forget that night thing, opened the mouth to remind.

Han Jun pretended not to care and caressed Gao Lin's slender fingers. He held the teacup in both hands, feeling the scorching heat, and the chill gradually disappeared from his body. "Don't be so troublesome, it's getting late, you should go back to your room to rest soon."

Gao Lin whispered to the maid at the side, and turned to look at the person in front of him, "It's windy at night, the prince sucked in a lot of cold air after walking all the way, does it mean that the prince still wants to be woken up by the stomachache at night?"

Han Jun looked at Gao Lin in surprise, he just woke up from the pain all night, how did Gao Lin know.

"My room is next to yours. If anything happens to you, I will know." Gao Lin explained, Han Jun couldn't sleep soundly in bed that day, and he kept rolling over and over, and he could hear him.Gao Lin wanted to ask the doctor to take a look at Han Jun, but just as he stepped out of the room, he heard no movement in the room, probably because Han Jun was fast asleep, so he didn't bother him anymore.

"I'm sorry you have been worrying about me." Han Jun smiled apologetically, he thought Gao Lin would sleep soundly at night.

"I was ordered to take care of the prince's body. This is my duty. I hope the prince will pay more attention to my body." Gao Lin shook his head. Even though he took care of Han Jun, the time Han Jun stayed in the palace Very little, and he didn't care too much.

Han Jun nodded, if something happened to his body, the Lord would probably ask Gao Lin for it.

Gao Lin stayed by the Lord's side for many years, Han Jun didn't know why the Lord treated Gao Lin so coldly, or maybe it was because the Lord had someone he liked.But he will definitely cherish the people around him, so that Gao Linzai will not suffer any harm.

The door slowly opened, and the maid walked into the room with a tray. Gao Lin reached out to take the soup bowl, and he shook it gently with a spoon.

Han Jun looked at the dark soup, the pungent spicy taste, and stepped back a little.

"Doesn't your lord like to eat ginger?" Gao Lin looked at Han Jun's overly strong reaction, and he didn't ask the maid to put much ginger, just a small piece.

"There are some." Han Jun didn't want to open his mouth when he saw the minced ginger floating in the soup.

"Ginger drives away the cold, if the prince drinks this bowl of soup, he won't have a stomachache tonight." Gao Lin persuaded, the stomach trouble has been with Han Jun for many years, and he has no good way to relieve it.

"Really." Han Jun couldn't believe it, this bowl is not a decoction, how can it have such a great effect.

"I didn't lie to you." Gao Lin looked into Han Jun's eyes, in order to trick the prince into taking the medicine, he had no choice but to do so.

Han Jun looked at the steaming medicine bowl, but did not stretch out his hand. Gao Lin scooped up a spoonful and blew it on his mouth before feeding it to Han Jun.

Han Jun opened his mouth helplessly, a burst of pungentness reverberated in his throat, he opened his mouth slightly and exhaled a few times.

"The good medicine is bitter, the prince can bear it and sleep peacefully tonight." Gao Lin smiled slightly when he saw Han Jun's exaggerated movements.

Han Jun looked at the second spoonful of soup, and refused to open his mouth again, but he couldn't bear to let Gao Lin hold it all the time, so he swallowed it helplessly.

Seeing that Gao Lin wanted to continue feeding him, Han Jun quickly reached out to grab the bowl and gulped down a few mouthfuls.

"My lord, be careful." Gao Lin raised his hand to hold the bowl, slowing down the downward slope a bit. He took the bowl that Han Jun put down, and seeing some ginger powder left at the bottom of the bowl, he didn't force Han Jun to drink it anymore. Set the bowl aside.

"How do you feel now?" Gao Lin looked at Han Jun's pale complexion, which was slightly rosy, as if covered with a layer of makeup under the bright candlelight, quite touching.

"It's a bit hot." Han Jun's smooth forehead was covered with a thick layer of sweat, and he seemed to feel a little fire burning in his heart.He raised his hand to take off his clothes.

Gao Lin got up and pressed Han Jun's shoulder, "You're naturally a little hot after drinking the hot soup, just wait for a while to sweat and it will be fine."

Gao Lin tidied up the table a bit, then he turned and walked to the door, and told the maid beside him.

"Gao Lin go back to the room, let's rest early." Han Jun mistakenly thought that Gao Lin was going to leave, his eyes were a little disappointed, he wanted Gao Lin to stay with him.But now the relationship between him and Gao Lin is just a master-servant relationship, so why should he insist on it like this.

Han Jun took the scroll on the side and flipped through a few pages in a hurry. Gao Lin came over and snatched the scroll from Han Jun's hand, "My lord is not feeling well, so why do you still want to stay up late to read the scroll? Working hard for the great affairs of the country with illness.”

"I just flipped through a few pages." Han Jun said cautiously, he didn't expect Gao Lin to come back, was it because he couldn't worry about him.

"My lord always forgets the time when he reads the scrolls. It's getting late now. If you keep reading, I'm afraid the sky will change." Gao Lin shook his head. Among the Huns, the one who can work hard for state affairs like Han Jun is probably There are very few, and the Lord often does not accept Han Jun's love, and is tired of him pursuing everything to the end.

"I won't stay up late at night anymore." Han Jun said in a gentle voice. Now that there are people around him who care about his body so much, he can no longer ignore himself.

"My lord must do what he says." Gao Lin took a step back and asked the maid beside him to bring up the water basin.

"I watched the prince rest and leave." Gao Lin sat at the table and extinguished a candle.

"Gao Lin, you don't have to do this. I've said it just now, so I won't suddenly regret staying up late." Han Jun couldn't bear to let Gao Lin wait for him.He took the hot towel from the maid at the side and wiped his cheek hastily.

"It's okay, it won't waste much time." Gao Lin got up and hung Han Jun's coat aside.

Han Jun took off his boots, soaked the white soles of his feet in the hot water, and they were slightly hot and reddened. He saw Gao Lin's figure still in the room, took the white cloth to wipe off the water, and lay sideways on the bed.

Gao Lin pulled the quilt aside to cover Han Jun, and Han Jun gently held Gao Lin's palm through the quilt. "My lord, rest at ease, I will come back tomorrow to wake you up." Gao Lin extinguished the candle on the table with a flick of his sleeve.

Han Jun nodded, he watched the figure gradually go away with a ray of light outside the room, with a faint smile on his face.If he had brought Gao Lin into the palace three years ago, maybe Gao Lin would not have endured so much humiliation in the palace. Unfortunately, he didn't know what the lord was thinking at the time, and mistakenly thought that the lord liked Gao Lin, and he I could only stand behind and silently bless them.

But it's not too late now, he will spend the rest of his life cherishing those around him.
