"Okay, let's rest now." Song Zichen nodded, raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the person who unconsciously planned to get up and salute and leave, and quickly raised his hand to clasp his wrist, "It's getting late, it's here Go to sleep."

"But--"

Mu Qiu couldn't help being slightly startled, turned around and looked at Song Zichen expectantly, but in the end he still couldn't open his mouth to refuse, so he had no choice but to respond with a smile, and comfortedly patted the one that was firmly clasping his wrist. Hand, "Your Highness, wait a moment, I will call the servants to bring some hot water, and take a bath before resting."

Song Zichen stared into Mu Qiu's eyes for a while, seeing that he naturally didn't look like he was going to take the opportunity to run away, so he let go, but even he felt that it was a bit naive and ridiculous, so he couldn't help but shook his head with a smile: "Okay - go quickly. Let's go together Wash and sleep together."

After all, Mu Qiu's nature is gentle and prudent, and his face was reddened by his blunt words, and he coughed lightly with some embarrassment, responded in a low voice, and quickly walked out the door.Song Zichen seemed to have discovered something interesting, and stared at the blood on the base of his ear with great interest, and couldn't help but smile a bit narrowly in his eyes——In his impression, Mu Qiu always behaved submissively, steadily, and steadily. It's rare that such emotions are shown, but I don't want to be so...cute.

I don't know if it was because of Song Zichen's words just now, Mu Qiu even did the bathing that he was used to taking care of on weekdays, but he was a little cautious and slow.Song Zichen looked at his reddened cheeks in the steaming heat, and couldn't help but move slightly. Regardless of the fact that the man was still wearing a jacket, he clasped his wrist and pulled him towards his arms, wrapped his arms around the back of his neck and kissed him. .

Mu Qiu was not wary of him at all, so he hurriedly supported the edge of the barrel to stabilize his figure. Song Zichen gave him a long kiss before he gave up. Looking at the man's still dazed expression, he couldn't help laughing. And no longer making trouble on purpose: "Okay, well, the left and right sides are almost washed-you can also get some water, take a bath and rest, don't bother me."

Mu Qiu responded, but subconsciously took a large cloth towel to wipe his body.Song Zichen looked at his rare stupefied look, but felt that he still couldn't help laughing. He took the cloth towel, got up and stepped out of the barrel, called for water for him, and took the opportunity to lean over and kiss the corner of his lips: "Hurry up!" ,I am waiting for you."

Until soaking in the warm water, Mu Qiu still felt a little blushing and heart beating.The emotion entangled in his chest was extremely strange to him, his heartbeat was much faster than that time, and the energy-raising skills he was proud of in the past seemed completely useless.

Although it was not the first time to be kissed, nor was it the first time to share the bed with skin to skin, but for some reason, it was only this time that he felt a deep sense of embarrassment and panic, and his face was terribly hot.Maybe it's because that person's attitude is different from every time in the past, or maybe it's because——he finally realized that his highness has grown up completely, and there is a reliable security between his brows, and he When he pulled it into his arms, he already brought a force that could not be resisted.He was a little at a loss for such a change in his Highness, but he couldn't deny the most hidden trace of joy in his heart.

The corners of the lips raised some imperceptible arcs, and the chest suddenly shrank.Mu Qiu subconsciously raised her hand to cover her mouth, only to feel a sweetness in her throat, and her palms were bright red.The originally smiling Wen Ran's eyes suddenly froze, and gradually soaked in a bit of sad bitterness.

He almost forgot - he couldn't and shouldn't have any bond with his highness.

Some things he did not say to his Highness after all.Just like he never mentioned to anyone that the third prince had threatened him with an antidote to betray him, he would never tell his highness that the antidote that temporarily relieved the effect had already been halved. amount, and even some are nothing more than superficial pills.He has been refining his internal strength to suppress those toxins, but he can still feel that his body is getting weaker and weaker day by day under such fierce toxin erosion. Maybe he will fall down without knowing that day, and he will no longer have the strength to get up—— Even if he fails to die, sooner or later he will become a bargaining chip used by the Third Prince to blackmail His Highness.

He was by his Highness's side to protect that person. No matter what Song Zichen thought, he was destined to be unable to accept such a powerless self.

Therefore, he just wanted to spend more time with His Highness when he still had the strength to stand firm and hold the sword, and then use all his strength to protect the person who he would spend his whole life protecting behind him.Before the deadline comes, he will voluntarily disappear, leave here, and go to a place that no one knows—since the separation is a foregone conclusion, he probably shouldn't have been trapped with that person in the first place, so as not to be trapped at that time. Every day adds to the sadness.

But... After all, I still can't bear it.

Mu Qiu made a wry smile silently, covered his mouth and lowered his voice as much as possible, and coughed softly, his internal organs seemed to be scorched and twisted into a ball, and a hot stream with a sweet smell rushed up from his throat, breaking through the seal between his lips and teeth, and his fingers blew Stained with dripping bright red.He clenched the brim of the barrel and tried to stabilize his figure, but his body couldn't stop the chills—the antidote last time was fake, and he knew it when he entered the mouth, just because he couldn't bear to make that person worry, forced Yun Gong suppressed the surging blood pressure, but now he couldn't suppress it anymore.

Since you can't suppress it, let's relax once.Your Highness, in the inner room, the water will be poured out by the servants soon, so no one should find out.Mu Qiu pulled the corner of his lower lip weakly, leaned against the wall of the bucket, coughed up the stagnant blood in his chest, and circulated his internal energy again.He was very tired, he closed his eyes and adjusted his breath for a while before standing up, took a cloth towel to wipe off the water on his body, put on the jacket he had prepared, and asked his servants to pour the water, so that he was stable Walked into the inner room calmly: "Your Highness—"

"Mu Qiu, come."

Song Zichen had already tidied himself up, and was casually putting on a robe, leaning against the lamp and reading a book leisurely.Seeing him enter the door, his eyes lit up, he stood up with a smile and took his hand, but he couldn't help but frown as soon as he touched it: "Why is it so cold on your body——those lazy people can't even boil water well? "

"It's just that I accidentally lost my mind, and the water was cold..." Mu Qiu smiled, and walked to the side of the couch with his strength and sat down, "Next time, I will definitely pay attention, the servants are innocent, so your highness don't want to get mad at them gone."

"Next time, you always pay so little attention to yourself. Next time, I'm afraid I'll have to watch you take a bath in person."

Song Zichen pulled him to lie down on the couch together, then pulled the quilt to wrap the two of them tightly, but felt that it was not enough, so he simply pulled the man's cold body into his arms and covered it: "Mu Qiu... what do you say? , is the human heart really that easy to change?"

Mu Qiu knew what he was thinking in his heart, but he didn't know how to respond, he just raised his hand and patted his back lightly like a child: "People's hearts are unpredictable, Your Highness, don't worry about it too much, so as not to hurt your spirit... "

"Perhaps there is a reason after all, it's just that I'm still in the dark." Song Zichen closed his eyes and smiled bitterly, casually playing with the wet long hair of the man in his arms, trying to resolve the heavy thoughts in his heart, but After all, she lay down for a long time without feeling sleepy: "Mu Qiu, are you asleep?"

"If Your Highness can't sleep, I'll talk to His Highness." Mu Qiu's tone was filled with a gentle smile, fearing that Song Zichen's body would feel numb all the time, so he took the initiative to hug his knees and sit up. Song Zichen also imitated him and sat up, moved his body to squeeze together with him, and pulled the quilt up: "I remember when I was a child, I couldn't sleep, and you just talked to me all night, and finally I suffered I couldn’t help falling asleep on your lap, and you really sat all night..."

"Your Highness still remembers." Mu Qiu smiled in surprise, leaned over to reach the robe beside the couch and put it on for him, and said softly with a smile, "Then it will be the same as it was then——Your Highness, can you still remember?" Want me to steal some snacks for supper?"

"Okay - how dare you tease me, let's see if I don't give you a little bit!" Song Zichen deliberately stared, and smiled to lick the soft flesh around his waist.Mu Qiu had always been ticklish, and kept begging for mercy while laughing. The two of them quarreled for a long time before it subsided. Song Zichen supported the bed with one hand, looked at the person who was wiping his tears because he was laughing too hard, and breathed a sigh of relief. She held him in her arms and kissed his forehead: "Mu Qiu, it would be great if you and I could always be like this..."

Mu Qiu stagnated without a trace, and there was a soft smile in his eyes again. He raised his hand to cover the man's leg, and patted it gently with some reassurance: "What about the future? It can be said accurately...His Highness actually doesn't need to always think about the future, it is enough to just live the present well."

Song Zichen couldn't help being slightly startled, a chill spread inexplicably in his heart, just like the person in his arms who was not warm for some reason, causing him to tremble uncontrollably, and tightened his grip on that person's arm: "Mu Qiu, what do you mean by this? Didn’t you always tell me to take one step and see three steps, and always leave some ways of advance and retreat for the future..."

It was only then that Mu Qiu realized that he seemed to have made a slip of the tongue, but for a moment he didn't know how to make it up, so he could only force a smile and say softly: "Your Highness has indeed made great progress... It's because I didn't think too much for a while, how can I not think about it?" What about the future? I just think that if I always live for the future, it will be too hard to plan and calculate every step of the way——so I feel a little bit sorry for Your Highness..."

"With you by my side, I won't feel bitter." Song Zichen rubbed the tip of his nose against his temples, and replied softly.Mu Qiu no longer dared to speak casually anymore, but only responded with a warm voice with a slight smile, but inexplicably filled with sadness and sadness in his heart, he raised his hand and hugged that person back, with some reluctant strength on his arms, his eyes were infiltrated Hidden water.

But he—how long can he stay with His Highness?
