This shadow guard is kinda nice

The next day, when Xiao Yichen returned to the palace, he was very dizzy. He basically forgot what happened last night. He drank some hangover tea in the morning and fell asleep again.

When he woke up again, it was already dark, he was lying on the bed without moving, his eyes were open and he was in a daze, and he sat up with his body propped up after his consciousness came back a little.

I don't know when it rained, the window was hazy, and the rain was dripping. He got up and opened the window, and the drizzle hit his face, sweet and refreshing.

After a while, the door opened, and Mo Ran walked in. Seeing that he woke up, he said with visible joy, "Master."

Xiao Yichen didn't make a sound.

Mo Ran took a piece of clothing, approached it, and handed it to Xiao Yichen, "Master, put it on, it's cold."

Clothes were draped over his body, Xiao Yichen sat down at the table, and Mo Ran closed the window.

"Do you want to pass the meal?"

Xiao Yichen nodded, he hadn't eaten for nearly a day, drank a lot of wine last night, and today he was on an empty stomach for a long time, he really couldn't bear it.

Mo Ran went out to pass on the food, and when he came back, he brought the doctor with him. He wanted to ask the doctor to show the master, but the master's expression was not very good, so he couldn't help feeling a little worried.

After the doctor took his pulse, Ran Yue also came in with a tray. She put light meals on the table one by one, and Mo Ran listened to the doctor's instructions outside, pay attention to the body and drink less, he wrote them down one by one, and then went with the doctor Grabbing the medicine, when he came back, Xiao Yichen had already finished his meal and was sitting on the bed reading a book.

Mo Ran subconsciously lightened his steps, Xiao Yichen still put down the book, glanced up at him, pointed to the end of the bed, "Come here, sit."

Mo Ran's footsteps stopped, her body stiffened for a moment, and then she obediently sat down beside the bed.

In the past, he would have sat at the end of the master's bed without thinking about anything, but after last night, it was different.

The master wants a man who thinks badly about him to sit on his bed.

Mo Ran squeezed his fingers secretly, the ups and downs of his heart receded, and he calmed down.

Xiao Yichen's attention was focused on the book, so he didn't notice his unnatural awkward expression.Turning the pages of the book, he casually asked, "What happened yesterday?"

For a moment, Mo Ran thought he knew what he liked about him, but the next moment, reason told him that no one should know except himself.

Xiao Yichen didn't hear the reply, so he couldn't help but look up at him.

Into the eyes is a cautious look, and a little bit guilty, as if hiding something from himself, not letting him know.

In this way, he was a little angry.

You didn't tell him about your injury yesterday, and you plan to keep it from him today?

Mo Ran clearly felt that he was angry, and the cause and effect went back and forth in his mind, only then did he realize that the master was talking about Xiao Yi'an saying that he was injured yesterday.

He didn't tell the truth to his master because he was afraid that he would worry.

He was obviously relieved. Compared with him, he didn't want the master to know that he liked him.

But he is conflicted.

He is both afraid that he knows and expects him to know.

He was afraid that the master would not want him after knowing his shady thoughts. Although the masculinity prevailed, it was not to the point where it could be said in the open, and the identity of the master was even more impossible. up.

But he also expects his master to know that even the dark corners want light to shine in, who doesn't want the person he likes to know his heart.

Under Xiao Yichen's increasingly impatient expression, he finally opened his mouth, telling exactly how and where he was injured, and even added a little embellishment.

In the past, even if he was killed, he would not do this. He would just swallow blood and tears into his stomach. Even if that person was the master, he would not show too many wounds in front of him unless he had to.

It's different now, he wants to show weakness in front of the person he likes, he wants to make him feel bad.

Sure enough, after Xiao Yichen listened to his slightly pitiful description, the fire was extinguished in silent gaze.

He sighed, there was really nothing he could do about it.

I couldn't bear it before, and now I can't bear it even more.

Xiao Yichen waved, "Sit closer."

In fact, Mo Ran regretted it the moment he finished pretending to be pitiful. He was more reluctant to make the master feel bad than to make the master feel bad.

He is not familiar with this way, but he loves him cautiously based on instinct.

He obediently sat closer, so close that as long as Xiao Yichen lowered his head, he could touch him.

When Xiao Yichen started to take off his clothes, he didn't resist, but just shook his head and said softly: "Master, this subordinate is fine."

Xiao Yichen didn't answer him, and looked at his shoulder intently. There were faint marks on the smooth and delicate flesh, which were the marks left after the scars faded.He touched it with his hand and asked, "Does it hurt?"

Mo Ran froze and didn't dare to move. After a while, he said, "It doesn't hurt." But his voice was hoarse, as if he was pressing down on something.

"In the future, don't hide it from me like this again, no matter what the reason is." Xiao Yichen said this for the last time with a fixed expression.

Mo Ran nodded, and he promised: "It won't happen in the future."

He knew that his master was not angry anymore, but at the same time he understood that this was the last time. He had committed two offenses for various reasons before, and now, it was really the last time.

Xiao Yichen's expression softened, "What about other places? Does it still hurt?"

His gaze followed Mo Ran's shoulders, chest, and abdomen. There were several scars of varying degrees on his body. Not only did he not look ugly, but he also had a different kind of beauty.

He used to have more wounds on his body, and after applying the medicine given by Jiang Yujin, they basically disappeared. Now these are new additions.

"It doesn't hurt." Mo Ran said.

Xiao Yichen's eyes were heavy, he didn't listen to what Mo Ran said, all his attention was attracted by this half-naked body, his fingers unconsciously slid down, stroking back and forth along those faint traces, Mo Ran choked for breath, he froze, his abdominal muscles were too stiff.

Xiao Yichen raised his head, glanced at him with a half-smile, and lowered his fingers wantonly.

Mo Ran panted heavily, and he tried his best to bear the white, cold hand that was making trouble on his body.

"Relax."

Mo Ran became more nervous, his heart was about to jump out of his throat, although his body that had not been exposed to light all year round was strong and powerful, but it was too fair, and because of Xiao Yichen's relationship, it was now covered with a thin layer of powder.

Xiao Yichen's hand stopped, stopped at the edge of the obscene trousers, and even Xiao Yichen had a hard time holding it down, so it's better not to do things like getting hot on the upper body.

After that, he looked at the blushing Mo Ran who was teased by him very satisfied, and stretched out his hand to pull up the clothes hanging on his waist, Mo Ran hurriedly said: "Your subordinate, do it yourself."

Xiao Yichen looked at him intriguingly for a long time again, and when Mo Ran was about to be unable to withstand such gaze, he clapped his hands, and stepped back a little to give Mo Ran room to move.

"Then come."

Mo Ran's tense body was relaxed, he quickly pulled up the clothes with his fingers, and with a blink of an eye, Xiao Yichen saw the crescent-like birthmark on his waist.

At that time, Mo Ran was seriously injured. When he was given the medicine, he noticed the birthmark for the first time, and now he saw it again. It happened that the person was here, so he couldn't help asking: "Have you seen the birthmark on your body?"

Mo Ran was busy putting on his clothes, when he heard that his hands trembled and his clothes fell apart, he was already in a state of high mental tension, when Xiao Yichen said this, he was taken aback.

He let out a helpless cry.

Xiao Yichen smiled helplessly, and repeated it again.

Only then did Mo Ran understand, and he glanced at his waist, "Look, when I was young, the waist was much more obvious than it is now. At that time, I still wondered why there is such a thing, and it doesn't matter when I grow up."

Xiao Yichen nodded, looking thoughtful.

After Mo Ran's clothes were put on, the belt had to be tied twice to get it right, which made Xiao Yichen laugh from the sidelines. He lowered his head, and the redness spread to his neck.

Xiao Yichen's heart was really moved by the appearance of the beloved with his head bowed, shy.

He suddenly didn't want to wait anymore, he didn't want to wait for Mo Ran to tell him, he wanted to listen to him now.

"Why are you blushing?"

Xiao Yichen asked bluntly, he was afraid that what he said was too subtle, and the man in front of him who knew nothing about feelings would not be able to understand.

Mo Ran's hand on his waist was clenched instantly, and his heart began to beat uncontrollably again. Master, this is... You know?

Xiao Yichen knew that when he was nervous, he liked to clench his fists. He was punished for this matter before, but it got better later on. Now that he asked this question, his little shadow guard became nervous, and his old problems followed.

He smiled, fearing that he still wouldn't understand, and continued: "Why does my touch make you blush?"

Mo Ran raised his head abruptly, and he stared blankly at Xiao Yichen. The master really knew that this knowledge shocked him, and he looked into those black eyes in disbelief.

There is no looseness in the past, no unconvincing smile, and no intention of holding him accountable. Some are just implicit, anticipation.

Looking forward to what he has to say.

"Subordinates..." He seemed to be bewitched, and he was about to express the feelings that had been hidden deep in his heart for more than ten years, and those thoughts that were visible and shady were about to be revealed.

"Boom, boom, boom."

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Mo Ran stopped the sound. He turned his head and looked at the door, not knowing whether he was more disappointed or more fortunate in his heart.

Xiao Yichen was very irritable, so blank, he wanted to disturb him at this time.

Steward Wang was ignorant of everything that happened in the house, he opened the door and came in, met Xiao Yichen's extremely impatient expression, stared innocently, and said: "My lord, news from the palace, Your Majesty has been poisoned."

……

There was chaos in the palace, and the emperor suddenly fell down without warning at dusk, which frightened the maids and eunuchs serving in Linhua Palace. Eunuch Fu pretended to be calm, and hurriedly invited Dr. Zhang to come. .

Eunuch Zhang and the crown prince came together. Eunuch Fu was obviously relieved. He really couldn't hold on to such a situation. Someone had to come out to stabilize the situation at this time, and the crown prince was perfect.

Physician Zhang knelt by the bedside to give his pulse, the crown prince sent all the people out to wait for the people from the Ministry of Punishment, and at the same time strictly ordered today's events not to be spread outside, otherwise they will be killed without mercy.

Doctor Zhang put the emperor's exposed hand into the quilt. He bent down, and the crown prince and Eunuch Fu watched together. He opened the emperor's closed eyes, and then twisted the silver needle with his fingers, and quickly pierced it There are several large acupoints on the emperor's body to prevent poison from flowing into the heart.

He packed up the rest of the silver needles, "Bring here all the things Your Majesty used today."

Eunuch Fu nodded, and hurried to the outside room, and found all the cups and handkerchiefs that the emperor drank today.

Doctor Zhang checked them one by one, and there was no problem.

He sat on the edge of the bed with a pensive face, obvious signs of poisoning, pale face, blue lips, abnormal heat all over his body, and twitching from time to time.

"Bring over what His Majesty has eaten."

After a while, several dishes of food were placed in front of Doctor Zhang. The emperor didn't eat much today, so he checked them one by one, and there was nothing unusual.

This stumped Imperial Physician Zhang, there was no problem anywhere, but His Majesty was poisoned, and he couldn't find out what poison was in him, and the pulse condition didn't match up with several well-known poisons.

There was silence in the hall, and several people all had dignified faces.

The crown prince passed Doctor Zhang, his eyes wandered back and forth on the emperor's livid face, and he didn't know what it was like in his heart.

His father was poisoned suddenly, and even Doctor Zhang of the Taiyuan Hospital couldn't find out the reason. But at this time, when Xiao Yichen's reputation grew day by day, and more and more people supported him in the court, his previous point The advantage, relying on the advantage that the emperor favored him, was vulnerable to absolute strength.

He, Xiao Yichen, held the Xuanjia Army in his hand, although the emperor wanted to take back that army, but no matter how he said it, the Xuanjia Army was still under Xiao Yichen's control.This time in Pingyao, instead of causing Xiao Yichen to lose anything, it gave him a good reputation of caring for the people and being considerate of the people. When he came back to the court, his father changed his opinion of him, and the officials of the court also favored him.

Xiao Yichen was more like what a crown prince of a country should look like, but he, the real crown prince, had no merits to show for it.

But at this time, father suddenly collapsed.

He couldn't tell if it was good or bad.

But it's time for him, the prince, to stand up.

He suddenly wanted to laugh, but his father was lying not far from him, he was a minister and a son, so he couldn't laugh.

The prince was still thinking about it, but Eunuch Fu suddenly slapped his head, saying that he forgot that the imperial concubine sent a box of food today. Doctor Zhang glared at him, and his beard flew straight, "Why don't you hurry to get it?"

Eunuch Fu didn't dare to delay for a moment and ran out.

There were only two people left in the hall for a while, and Imperial Physician Zhang wiped the emperor's flushed body with a handkerchief soaked in cold water.

The crown prince watched for a while, feeling bored, and suddenly asked, "Is Doctor Zhang sure to cure Father?"

Doctor Zhang paused when he wiped, and he continued to wipe until the coolness of the veil was gone. He rolled up his sleeves, and the veil was thrown into the basin again.

Xiao Beining was not in a hurry, and waited quietly. When he finished wiping and turned to look at himself, his face was just rightly worried.

Doctor Zhang sighed, "His Royal Highness, to tell you the truth, I still can't find out the cause of His Majesty's poisoning, so I can't prescribe the right medicine. I can only delay it first and use other medicines to suppress it first."

Hearing such words, deep down in his heart, he was probably happy, but his face still showed worry, worry, and pain. Xiao Beining himself wanted to mock his hypocrisy.

But ah, so what.

Heavenly family has no father and son.

Neither father nor son.

The author has something to say: Xiao Yichen (smiling): The sweetheart who is about to get it is gone
