The road of the king, the minister and the husband

That night, Xiao Yiran personally took the food box and came to the wing room where Xiao Qingzi lived, opened the door and came in, and saw Xiao Qingzi leaning against the bed rail with his eyes closed and resting, his legs were covered with a thin quilt, he walked over and touched Xiao Qingzi with his hand. Qingzi woke him up immediately.

It is a habit that I have developed all the year round. I will wake up when there is any sound. I didn’t hear Xiao Yiran’s footsteps today because he deliberately lightened his movements. Xiao Yiran stretched out his hand and pressed him down.

"Okay, don't move around when you're hurt." He lifted the quilt to look at the wound, raised his eyebrows, "it'll be fine after a few days."

Xiao Qingzi was a little embarrassed, he didn't wear anything on his legs, and he just showed it so bluntly in front of the young master, he pursed his lips, and lowered his eyes, not daring to look at Xiao Yiran's expression.

"Eat, I'll give you medicine later." Xiao Yiran raised his eyebrows, put the food box on the table beside him and opened it, turned his head to look at Xiao Qingzi, frowned, reached out and took out the bowls and chopsticks to put some vegetables in Walked up to Xiaoqingzi and handed it to him.

"My lord, it's fine for the servant to come by himself. You don't have to take care of the servant." Xiaoqingzi's eyes were a little red, and he looked about the same age as Xiao Yiran with his baby face. He didn't feel like being taken care of for so many years, so he was very uncomfortable.

"Little master, let the subordinates come down." Yinglei came in from the door, walked over and took the bowls and chopsticks in Xiao Yiran's hands, looked at Xiaoqingzi's legs, and frowned.

Xiao Qingzi stretched out his hand, took the bowl and chopsticks from Yinglei, smiled at him, then turned his head to look at Xiao Yiran and pursed his lips, "Your servant can apply the medicine by himself, so you don't have to worry about your servant."

Xiao Yiran nodded without saying anything, took two small porcelain bottles and handed them to Yinglei, then turned and left.

He felt that Yinglei should be happy to help Xiaoqingzi accomplish some things that he could not do.

"Little master, do you want to go for a walk?" Yingli came out from the wing room, walked to Xiao Yiran and asked softly.

Shaking his head, sitting at the stone table in the yard, Xiao Yiran let out a sigh with his chin propped on one hand, lazily looked up at the sky, and waved his hand.

"The people above come down, are you not tired after following for several days?"

Yingli stood aside with no expression on his face. He already knew that someone was following them, but Xiao Yiran said that if they didn't cause any trouble to them, they should not bother. The most important thing is to return to the imperial city early.

Xiao Yiran's voice dissipated, but no one appeared in front of him, and he didn't think there was any problem, he just stood up with a chuckle, and then left a pill on the stone table, "If you still want to live, just Take the medicine."

"Little master, why did you do this?" Yingli didn't understand Xiao Yiran's behavior, knowing that the visitor was not good but not taking action, no matter how you looked at it, it was not the usual style of the little master.

Xiao Yiran didn't answer his question, just covered his mouth and let out a sigh, then turned and went back to his room.

"Continue on our way tomorrow, let Yinglei stay and take care of Xiaoqingzi." Before entering the door, he turned his head and said.

Yingli was taken aback for a moment, and nodded in agreement.

The next morning, Xiao Qingzi didn't see Xiao Yiran until he knew that his young master had taken someone away. Although he felt a little uncomfortable, he also knew that young master wanted to go back urgently.

"The medicine left by the little master is very effective. You can leave after three to five days after your injury has healed." Yinglei applied the medicine to him with his head down, his movements were gentle so that he would not feel the slightest pain.

Xiao Qingzi hummed, his face flushed.

He is still very unaccustomed to having such intimate contact with Yinglei, especially when the man applied the cool ointment on the tender flesh of his inner thigh with his rough fingers, which made his body covered with goosebumps.

"...Are you nervous?" Ying Lei withdrew his hand, looked up at Xiao Qingzi who was tightly pursing his lips, and raised his hand to pinch his nose.

Xiao Qingzi was dumbfounded, and looked at him inexplicably.

Although he had some contact with these hidden guards, but...

Is this kind of action too intimate? He often sees His Majesty pinching the young master like that, but, but...

He bit his lower lip, turned his face to avoid Yinglei's big hand.

Yinglei shrugged his shoulders, put his hands aside, and took the basin out of the house.He needs to calm down, and giving Xiaoqingzi medicine is a torment.

It took Xiao Yiran a month to return to the imperial city. He knew that he didn't need to be in such a hurry, but he just wanted to see Yin Tianqi, very, very similar.

Holding the emperor token all the way into the palace unimpeded, traveling day and night made him look extremely tired and irritable.

But when he was stopped by a guard in front of the palace gate for interrogation, he whipped him with a whip, and then rode into the palace.

"Hey, brother, that's the treasure in His Majesty's eyes, how dare you stop him." Seeing that Xiao Yiran had already entered the palace, the guard next to him hurried over to help the hapless guy up, and looked at him with a teasing look.

Rubbing the throbbing area on his body, the guard shook his head with a bitter face, "How do I know, the young man looks young, and isn't it forbidden to ride a horse in the Forbidden Palace!"

"Hey, he has been riding a horse in the palace since he was a child, and even His Majesty gave him a horse!"

Dazed for a moment, the guard smiled wryly and shook his head, he was lucky not to be whipped to death.

When he reached the gate of the inner palace, Xiao Yiran got off his horse. Looking at the gate of the palace that had been away for more than a year, Xiao Yiran took a deep breath and showed his token to the guards guarding the palace gate. They looked at each other and knelt down on one knee Salute him.

"Your Majesty, all blessings and golden peace."

"Open the door." Xiao Yiran put away the sign and entered the inner palace alone.

Yin Tianqi did not receive the news of his return to the palace, not because the secret guards were slow, but because Xiao Yiran had specially ordered him not to disclose his news to Yin Tianqi, otherwise one would count as another, and he would have poison to serve him.

Knowing that he did what he said, the guards kept their mouths shut and helped the little master hide his whereabouts together.

The letter Yin Tianqi received the day before yesterday was written in Shanghai, and the young master wanted to go here for a few days to learn more about the local customs...

Xiao Yiran didn't go directly to Zhengde Palace, but went back to his own Xuande Palace first.

Although he wouldn't have lived here even when he was in the palace a year ago, he is also the owner of Xuande Hall anyway, so he should go back and have a look.

The servants serving in the Xuande Palace all looked like they had seen a ghost when they saw him, and they knelt on the ground to salute him after being stunned for a moment.

Xiao Suzi, the little eunuch who served Xiao Yiran like Xiao Qingzi, was even more frightened when he saw Xiao Yiran. He stood there straight and forgot to even salute.

"Little Suzi." Xiao Yiran raised his hand and waved the whip in front of his eyes, calling him softly.

"My lord! You are back, my lord!" Little Suzi blinked, then knelt on the ground in surprise, "My lord, please greet me."

"Get up, take a bath." Xiao Yiran stepped into the bedroom, taking off his clothes as he walked.He had to wash it clean before going to Yin Tianqi, he didn't dare to go to meet that man with his dusty body, otherwise he would give himself a hard time.

"Your Majesty doesn't know the young master is back?" He poured warm water on his shoulders with a water ladle, and Xiao Suzi stood behind him to help him scrub.

"En. I didn't tell him. How is the palace going?" Half lying on the side of the bathtub, he half-closed his eyes and enjoyed the soaking in hot water, feeling drowsy and drowsy.

"...the empresses of the various palaces...uh..." Xiao Suzi paused for wiping his hand on his back, halfway through the sentence, but did not see any reaction from Xiao Yiran, and finally thought about it and finished speaking, "the ladies of the various palaces Empress is fine, but His Majesty seems to like Concubine Xiao very much in the past few months, so he ran to her palace every day, and went to her palace after hearing about it in the morning."

Xiao Yiran opened his eyes and stared at the screen beside him for a while, then closed his eyes again.

Oh, Concubine Xiao?

He wanted to see how concubine Xiao could fascinate Yin Tianqi like this!
