Chapter 289: Restraint in the Secret Room
He wrapped his hand around me and trembled, then raised his hand as if to caress my hair, and the moment his finger touched my forehead, he paused, and then said in a hurried tone: "Xiao Ling'er, you have a fever." β
I don't need to say it, I also know that the feeling on my body is hot and cold.
Once again, this wood-like body can't stand the test!
I was so upset and uncomfortable that I finally couldn't stop crying.
Tears ran down his cheeks and fell on the back of his hand.
He sighed, hugged me tightly, and said, "This won't work, you can't just go back." "I'll take you away."
I opened my eyes, the person holding me leaned on the couch and moved, and when I saw the situation clearly, I sat quietly and thought about it, felt that something was wrong, and panicked: "Where is this?" β
"Xuanwei Palace" Xiao Chu lowered his head and stroked my forehead with his hand, "The fever has subsided." β
Xuanwei Palace? I rubbed my forehead and asked him, "Is it the palace closest to Zihuan Palace?" β
He nodded, and said with a smile in his eyes: "Could it be that Xiao Ling'er has been here?" β
"I've been here, and I've passed by outside, and I don't seem to have this impression."
"Look around, why don't you have a window?" I questioned.
"It's in the underground of Xuanwei Palace, there is a secret room here, and no one disturbs it."
Fragments of memories from the past came to mind, and I whispered, "Is your subordinate Liu Guangyuan a rat in Yingtian City?" You're digging holes all day long, have you opened up the entire underground of Yingtian? β
Xiao Chu didn't expect me to wake up and say such a thing, and for a while I couldn't help but bow my head and laugh, and the laughter was so moved that he fell on my shoulder and coughed.
I came back to my senses, looked at him in distress and couldn't speak, and the next second, my body reacted faster than my mind. Unconsciously raised his hand and patted him from top to bottom along his back.
He took my hand and put it on one foot, leaning into my ear and whispering, "Here." You hit me just now. β
The temperature in the room was slowly rising, and I was full of questions. But I can't take care of it at this moment!
His slender fingers lightly clasped my jaw and lifted it slowly, wrapping his other hand around me behind my head.
His fingers ran into my hair, and he kissed it deeply, tracing the shape of my lips little by little.
The consciousness gradually dissipated, and it seemed to float up to the clouds, and it was impossible to parry it at all. I can't resist it, it's such a dense and gentle kiss, and the kiss makes my heart melt
He picked me up and put me on his lap. Facing him, kissed him again.
After a long kiss, only the low gasps of each other could be heard in the quiet room.
Sitting on his lap, I didn't dare to move, and my collar unconsciously loosened. Showing the snow-white skin on his shoulders, after he kissed him, he gently closed the collar for me, leaned on my ear and whispered, "I remember Xiao Ling'er's request." β
I was stunned, and suddenly understood what he meant. The picture of memories once again came to mind, and it was that sentence, to be close to the invisible place.
I blushed and said negatively: "Dressed like this, you can also go down your mouth." β
Xiao Chu approached my face, looked at me carefully, and said with a low smile: "This dress is really eye-catching, and it is painted on the face." β
"Speaking of yourself, it's like a jade tree in the wind, aren't you also painted ugly, and you have scars on your face."
I reached out and cupped his face, a familiar face that haunted me almost every night.
"Ugly for ugly."
Xiao Chu raised his hand and pulled off the hairpin on my hair, the long hair scattered around his waist felt silky to the touch, and he said in a low voice, "When Yingtian's matter is over, I will take you to the south, or if you want, you can go back to the Lost Valley to live in seclusion." "Imperial City, don't you care?" I looked up at his bright eyes, which were still shining no matter how much he tried to hide them. "If you care, how can you give it to him?"
His tone gave me the illusion that he was talking about a cabbage or a turnip. "At the beginning, I didn't care about the danger, but I just cleared the last nail on this road, and now I regret it."
Xiao Chu hugged me tightly, rubbed his cheek against me, buried his head in my neck socket and whispered softly: "If you choose from the beginning, you will never leave the Lost Valley lightly, I should stay by your side, no one can resist Xiao Ling'er is more important to me." β
I struggled with the sentence for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to ask: "What about her?" β
"Which one?"
"Woman, you brought it." I couldn't find an adjective, and I remembered the joke when the two of us were alone before, and without thinking, I said, "The beautiful girl you brought with me raised in the mountains." β
"You mean Jing Lan," Xiao Chu said helplessly with a smile, "You are mistaken, she is the daughter of the patriarch of the Shikun Mountain tribe, who saved me at the beginning, and in return, I taught her the way of medicine." "The area around Shikun Mountain is remote and hidden, and it is difficult for outsiders to enter casually, which on the one hand ensures the safety of the tribe, and on the other hand, the biggest problem is the lack of local medical care and medicine." "Rare medicinal herbs are everywhere, and the locals don't know them." "When I stayed there to recuperate, I taught them to identify medicinal herbs, and I taught a few disciples by the way, and Jing Lan is the most talented one."
"She has a special status in the local area, and she comes forward to treat with medicine, and the mountain people are easier to trust and accept, and when I am recuperating from my injury, my energy is not good, she can share it for me, I just need to guide from the side." "That's all there is to it." The corners of Xiao Chu's mouth curved, and he pursed his lips and smiled, "Can I explain clearly?" β
I glanced at him sideways, lowered my head and said, "Listen, you didn't mean to, but you can't stand her."
"Xiao Ling'er, Jing Lan has a fiancΓ©, and she will get married in two years."
I looked at Xiao Chu and said in shock: "In such a situation, doesn't her fiancΓ© mind if she follows you to the capital?" β
"She came to Yingtian to see the world, and this opportunity is undesirable for her." Xiao Chu looked at me funny: "Do you think everyone is like you?" β
"Trust someone, even if they are not around, believe that they (she) can control themselves."
"What's wrong with me?" I looked at him unconvinced.
Xiao Chu whispered a few words close to my ear, my face turned even redder, and I couldn't help but slap him on the shoulder a few times, he chuckled, and lowered his head to kiss me on the cheek.
He took me in his arms, played with my long hair that fell to my ears, and the two of them talked word by word.
I carefully described everything that followed.
I didn't hide the part of my encounter with Xiao Ning, and I explained the cause and effect to him clearly.
Before leaving, I whispered to him, "How do I know that the amazing-sounding treatment that Mr. Mu did for me that day was successful?" "You're here, I haven't heard you talk about the symptoms that I and him are most worried about, so it's okay." "If there are any symptoms, is there no way to recover?" I hesitated for a long time, and asked him in a low voice.
Xiao Chu's long eyelashes flashed, and he gently re-pulled his hair for me, I saw that his craftsmanship was not unfamiliar, and he couldn't help but smile when he looked at each other.
He leaned over, pinched my face and smiled: "Xiao Ling'er is worried about something, I have come to you, don't think nonsense." "Well," I smiled and nodded, "no, I see." β
Deliberately shortened the distance, I came out of the tunnel with him one after another, I didn't think that the exit of this place was near the Taiye Pool, the air by the lake was fresh in the morning, I remembered what I said that night, and I still remember it vividly.
The pace of the return journey was not easy, I repeatedly thought about Xiao Chu's conversation with me, and finally sighed and muttered to myself: "The teacher said, everything is about fate, let it be." β
If you should come, you can't avoid it.
In order not to be an eyesore, I kept my old habit and entered through the side door of the hospital, where there were very few people walking.
Dozens of paces away, I could already see a man sitting motionless on the stone steps.
I approached slowly, he raised his head and looked at me with a pale face and said, "Xiao Ling'er, are you back?" β
Is he like this?
I walked up to him quickly, squatted down and raised my head and asked him, "Xiao Ning, but the stomach problem is again?" "Xiao Ling'er, where have you gone," he said in a low voice with a tired face, "I almost turned the entire Qingsi Hall over, and I thought, I still thought" "I haven't been to the Qingsi Palace, is it misinformed by the people below?" I looked at him puzzled, confused, and said after a while: "Xiao Ning, you, should you have a conflict with the master there?" β
He just said that he almost turned the entire Qingsi Hall over, which was clearly true
Now, what should I do, I originally looked at the calm and calm, but was it all destroyed overnight?
I saw that Xiao Ning's face was wrong, ignoring those entanglements, putting aside the troubles that would be in the future, and at the moment, I reached out and tried to help him!
He stood up, his body shook, Fushu stood firm, unexpectedly pushed my hand away and said calmly: "You're back, since it's okay, it's okay." "I have to go."
His hair was still stained with water, and he looked as if he had been sitting for a long, long time.
I looked at his departing back in silence, unable to utter a word.
In the morning, I was restless, so I followed my teacher's instructions, found a copy of the medical book he had brought, and began to memorize the prescriptions on it.
From frequently raising his head to look out the window to fully immersing himself in it, it took less than an hour.
At noon, I couldn't feel at ease, so I went to the small kitchen to boil a pot of cold and pain-relieving decoction and sent it to Zihuan Palace.
I waited at the small door for the usual mute palace maid, handed her the medicine, and told her to remember to wait for Xiao Ning to come back and urge him to take it. "Don't tell him, I sent it." I said one last word, but when she took a few steps, I hesitated to stop her again, "I'd better sue him, or I'm afraid he won't drink." β
The palace maid nodded, gestured to me to thank me, and walked away with light steps.
I wandered along the edge of the grove, the clouds above me that never lifted.
