fifty-four

Ye Changsheng has always listened to Chu Liuxiang's words, his obedient mouth opening medicine has just taken his mouth, his delicate and beautiful little face is wrinkled, and the pill in his mouth is neither swallowed nor swallowed.

Seeing his expression, Li Sanniang asked a little nervously: "What's wrong, is there something wrong with the medicine?" ”

"Bitter ......" Ye Changsheng could only say one word with difficulty, the indescribable fishy smell in his mouth was really torturing him, a hundred times more bitter than the coptis he had eaten before.

"It's okay, you just close your eyes and swallow it." Chu Liuxiang comforted him and asked Hu Tiehua to bring the candied fruit on the table over to give him a taste in his mouth.

Ye Changsheng swallowed the thing reluctantly with a tilt of his neck, and then rolled his eyes and wanted to spit it out, but fortunately, Chu Liuxiang stuffed a little sweet preserved fruit into his mouth in time, so he didn't let him spit out what he had just eaten.

"Good medicine is bitter, and your body can get better if you take it." Chu Liuxiang gently patted him on the back to give him relief, although he had never taken this kind of medicine, but I heard that people over there in Miao Jiang always like to use some strange things, such as snakes, insects, rats, ants and the like, I also know that the taste will not be very good.

"Hmm......" Ye Changsheng chewed hard to suppress the feeling of nausea, he really never wanted to take this kind of medicine a second time.

Chu Liuxiang raised his hand and tried the temperature of his forehead again, although the tentacles were still warm, they were no longer as powerful as just now, so it could be seen that the medicine given by Qu Yan still had some effect.

He sat on the edge of the bed and muttered for a while, then whispered, "Changsheng, I'll go find you medicine, okay?" ”

Ye Changsheng hugged the quilt and looked at him, then slowly shook his head and said in a firm tone: "I heard my father say that the mountains and rivers in Miaojiang are far away, and the people are fierce and strange, and ordinary Han people are not welcome there, so don't go." ”

"But if I want to cure you, I must go there." Chu Liuxiang coaxed him, "Although that Qu girl looks fierce, she won't really want my life." ”

"Don't." Ye Changsheng resolutely refused, "Brother Chu is not allowed to go." ”

"And what about your body? Have you forgotten what you told me yesterday? Chu Liuxiang said patiently.

Ye Changsheng was silent, but he still stubbornly shook his head, just not letting him go. Later, seeing that he couldn't say anything about Chu Liuxiang, he simply rolled up the quilt and lay face in, ignoring him.

Seeing that he was angry and didn't talk to himself, Chu Liuxiang was angry and funny, reached out and hugged the person with the quilt, bowed his head and kissed his face: "What, are you angry with me?" ”

Ye Changsheng didn't want to talk to him, but he wasn't the kind of child who made trouble, and after thinking for a while, he reached out and pulled his sleeve: "I've really gotten a lot better after drinking the medicine, it's a big deal that we will think of other ways in the future, but don't you go to Southern Xinjiang, okay?" ”

Chu Liuxiang thought for a while, then touched his face with a smile, and promised him with a smile: "Okay, since you are so resolute, then Brother Chu will not go anywhere, just stay here with you and sleep with you." ”

After receiving the guarantee, Ye Changsheng was satisfied, and fell asleep with his eyes closed after a while.

When the person was indeed asleep, Chu Liuxiang nodded slightly to the two people behind him, and then several people closed the door lightly and walked out.

"I don't know what will happen when I go to Miaojiang, so Changsheng will entrust it to you." Chu Liuxiang stood in the courtyard and said to her two friends, her tone full of pleading.

Hu Tiehua was dissatisfied: "Old bedbug, what do you mean by this?" Don't say that we have been old friends for so many years of life and death, even if it is an ordinary passerby, when did I Hu Tiehua shirk the things that others handed over to me? ”

"Okay Hu Daxia, it's my fault this time." Chu Liuxiang apologized.

"Do you really want to go to Miaojiang with that demon girl? It's a long way from there. Li Sanniang was still a little worried, she was worried that Chu Liuxiang would have any trouble going this time.

Chu Liuxiang turned around and looked at the closed door, the child he had been guarding as a treasure in his heart was sleeping sweetly in his illness, and even if he was reluctant, he had to resolutely leave here and go to that distant place to seek even a chance of survival for him, even if he knew that there might be an abyss ahead.

"I have to go."

Li Sanniang and Hu Tiehua knew his temperament, and they never persuaded him again. Li Sanniang only sighed: "Since Xiangshuai has already made up your mind, we can only support you as friends, but ...... It's just that if Changsheng wakes up and can't see you, knowing that you left secretly without him, I'm afraid I'm going to cry for a while. ”

Chu Liuxiang was silent for a while, he knew that he had deceived him again without saying goodbye like this, Changsheng would definitely be angry, but if he didn't do this, the kid would definitely not let him leave to take risks.

"It's better to wait for me to come back and coax him well, he has never really been angry with anyone." Chu Liuxiang soothed her brows and said with a smile.

So, while Ye Changsheng was asleep, Chu Liuxiang and the three of them discussed countermeasures. Then he went back to the room and simply packed his bags, hesitated when he passed by Ye Changsheng's door, but pushed open the door and walked in, gently branded a kiss on the forehead of the sleeping young man, and said goodbye secretly in his heart before withdrawing.

He asked the two men to take care of the people again, and then quickly got on his horse and left the mansion in the thick cold night.

Ye Changsheng in the house didn't know anything about it, turned over in the warm quilt and continued to sleep well, not knowing at all that his favorite big brother Chu had set foot in the mountains and rivers for him in the night.

In the dungeons of the capital

Ye Qingliu, who was sleeping leaning on Tianjia, suddenly woke up.

Tianjia was originally meditating and had never fallen asleep, but when he noticed the movement of the people around him, he also opened his eyes and asked in a low voice: "Why did Er Shao suddenly wake up?" ”

Ye Qingliu frowned and whispered to himself: "I always feel as if something is about to happen." ”

"Maybe it's the second young man who had a nightmare." Tianjia thought for a while and said.

"Nightmares?" Ye Qingliu rubbed his head, "I actually forgot what kind of dream Jì had, but I vaguely remember that it seems to have something to do with the emperor." ”

When he said this, his mind suddenly recalled his slightly blackened hands when he met the emperor a long, long time ago. At that time, he just glanced at it inadvertently, but he didn't pay much attention, and now that he thinks about it, it seems that since then, the emperor's temperament has suddenly changed dramatically and he no longer trusts them, could it be that there is really some connection between them?

Looking back on these things that had been ignored one by one, he thought about them cross-legged with a stern face, and Tianjia didn't dare to disturb him out of voice.

The door was slammed open, and the jailers reappeared at the door, full of anger.

Tianjia became vigilant, these people have not appeared for several days, and the second young master can also take a breath, they suddenly appear in the middle of the night like this, there is absolutely no good thing.

The person who came looked at them expressionlessly, and waved his hand without saying a word to let a few of his subordinates drag Ye Qingliu.

Ye Qingliu has been interrogated for so many days, how can he still withstand such a rude drag, and the whole person fell to the ground. Tianjia was so anxious that his eyes were red, "You let him go!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he was slammed on the head, and a trace of blood flowed down.

However, as if he couldn't feel the pain, he struggled desperately to break free from the heavy chains and snatch the person back, while roaring angrily: "Are you all blind in these eyes, this is Second Young Master Ye!" Let him go! ”

Although he frantically shook the chain like an angry lion, and even the blood flowed from the place where the chain was pinned on his body, he still stubbornly wanted to take Ye Qingliu back and protect him in his arms.

It's just that he was trapped too firmly, no matter how he struggled, he could only watch the second young master being dragged away.

Ye Qingliu vaguely knew in his heart that his trip might be dangerous, but when he listened to the movement of the person behind him, he was miraculously not afraid at all.

Tianjia watched in a daze as the door of the cell was closed again, and once again began to hate himself for being like a waste, if he wasn't so useless and locked by these chains, then he could easily kick away these bastards just now, and leave this gloomy dungeon with Er Shao.

He clenched his hands tightly, he had to find a way to rush out of here, he couldn't sit still!

At the same time, the inner courtyard of the Imperial Palace in the capital

An old eunuch in poor clothes was walking carefully in the uninhabited garden, carefully observing the movements around him as he walked, as if he was watching to see if anyone was following him, and tried to pick some small paths to walk. He was an old man in the palace, having been here for decades, so he knew this place better than anyone else, and knew every little thing and even every secret passage here.

Following the nearest secret passage in his memory leading to the outside of the palace, he had to leave the palace before dawn without anyone discovering it, or he might have lost his life.

It doesn't matter if his life is saved or not, anyway, he is so old anyway, it's time to follow his master into the ground. But what he carried in his arms was the last hope of the master who he had served all his life, but in the end, he could not die well. So he had to get out of here and fulfill the last commission he had given him.

He raised his hand and wiped his tears, ignoring the grief in his heart, and moved towards the goal step by step, he wanted to completely hand over the things to the little master's hands.

"Little master, you have to wait for the slave and maid!"

The dark and hazy night concealed his whereabouts, as well as the sins that had taken place in this palace.
