Save the villain and become the villain [Quick Wear]

The Queen Mother did not send anyone to call Xiao Jinglu again, and she also put aside her suspicion of him.

Xiao Jinglu grew up under her nose, and was surrounded by people arranged by her. She didn't believe that he could disguise himself so well, and she didn't believe that he could quietly build up his power and attack her.

As for the eunuch named Chongyang, those who investigated have confirmed that he has a clean background and there was nothing unusual about him after he entered the palace. He did not seem to be a spy sent into the palace by any authority.

Chongyang himself, who appeared to be normal, was stealing (crossed out) the tribute tea from her.

——It’s tea for the emperor to drink and it’s tribute tea, how can it be called stealing?

The conditions were difficult, so Qi Yang didn't do any of the fancy tea-tasting tricks that scholars do. He simply brewed tea leaves with hot water and let Xiao Jinglu taste it.

Xiao Jinglu looked gloomy and did not speak for a long time.

Just by smelling the fresh tea aroma, you can compare how different the two teas are.

Qi Yang sighed and reached out to touch his head, but temporarily changed his hand to pat his shoulder. He noticed that his shoulders tensed for a moment, then relaxed again, and comforted him in a gentle voice: "What belongs to us will be taken back sooner or later."

Xiao Jinglu looked up at him, his eyes red and full of anger, but he suppressed all of it in his eyes, turning it into a hatred that was almost grief.

"Master, please teach me."

Qi Yang looked at him and said, "Okay."

……

After dragging on for two days, Qi Yang's power was exhausted that night.

Xiao Jinglu offered up the dragon bed, copied a book in his hand, and looked at him from time to time. Seeing that his expression was becoming increasingly painful, he couldn't help but worry.

But he remembered what he said not to let anyone disturb him, and suppressed his anxiety. He picked up the pen for a long time but couldn't remember what to write next. He glanced at the book and forgot where he had copied to.

He suddenly realized something was wrong, froze in place, gently placed the brush on the pen holder, and raised his hand to press his chest.

This is the first time I feel flustered for someone else.

He has never been able to take care of himself, but one day he has the time to worry about others?

They had only known each other for two days, how could they trust each other so quickly? He was even worried about his safety now.

He couldn't help but wonder and reflect whether Ji Chongyang had used any tricks on him?

Just as he said, his emotions were being controlled unconsciously again?

All kinds of dark thoughts flashed through his mind. When he saw the person on the bed gradually breaking out in cold sweat and his face becoming paler, he suddenly had an idea and thought of another way.

Dispersing power sounds very dangerous, but he dispersed it in front of him, which shows that he trusts himself very much, and it seems that it is not a problem for me to give him a little trust. At least for now, he is indeed helping me.

So...can he trust that he won't hurt himself?

Isn’t there a phrase called “return a favor”?

The man who was sitting cross-legged on the dragon bed suddenly groaned and let out a long breath, interrupting his wandering thoughts. His heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Qi Yang suppressed the surging blood and energy in his body and felt the changes in his body.

The Dantian was empty, and as the internal energy disappeared, the whole person felt weak and powerless, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness.

Xiao Jinglu compared his expression with his previous one, suppressed the worry in his heart, and asked, "How are you?"

Qi Yang leaned back and lay down on the ground, breathing weakly, "I'm so tired and uncomfortable. I don't want to move at all. Can I sleep here tonight?"

Xiao Jinglu felt like he wanted to agree, and said coldly: "No."

Qi Yang: “…”

Destroy it, this villain is not cute at all.

Xiao Jinglu was keenly aware of his loss, and his slight conscience began to feel uneasy.

So far, "Ji Chongyang" has helped him a lot, but he doesn't seem to have helped him at all.

He added bluntly: "You can't sleep in my bed if you haven't showered yet."

As he spoke, he walked over and pulled a blue rope beside the door. Soon there was a knock on the palace door and four eunuchs came in carrying steaming buckets of water.

Some people walked too fast and hot water splashed on their feet, but they didn't say a word.

They were not curious about why the emperor had to take two baths. They were just glad that there was always boiling water in the small kitchen - even though this bloodthirsty and cruel emperor had never killed anyone for bath water, after all, it was quite difficult to kill someone with bath water.

They went in and out twice, adjusted the water in the bathtub to the temperature Xiao Jinglu was accustomed to, prepared various bathing products, asked in a trembling voice if there were any other instructions, and then retreated.

——Xiao Jinglu didn’t like to delegate things to others, for he was worried that someone might tamper with him or kill him when he was least prepared.

In the past two days, Qi Yang just found a pool to soak in to wash off the sweat on his body. Today, he can finally take a proper bath.

He slowly moved off the bed. Xiao Jinglu saw that he was weak and did not seem to be faking it, so he went over, picked him up and put him next to the bathtub.

Qi Yang didn't think there was anything wrong with him. He drove him away with his eyes, retreated behind the screen, took off his clothes and slid into the water.

The water temperature was just right, greatly relieving the soreness in his whole body, and he couldn't help but sigh.

Listening to the sound of water, Xiao Jinglu asked, "When will you start the renovation?"

Qi Yang leaned against the wall of the tub and rubbed his hair. He replied lazily, "Maybe tomorrow. Let's take it easy today."

Xiao Jinglu didn't ask any more questions and started reading and copying books.

He was very sensitive to any changes in the surrounding environment. When he noticed the change in the sound of water, he immediately pulled himself away from the book and subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound. He saw a slender silhouette projected on the screen by the candlelight.

There is a faint halo on the outline of the silhouette, blending with the landscape pattern on the screen, as if a god walked out of the mountain mist.

The figure suddenly stopped moving, and after a while he made a light clicking sound, as if he was very dissatisfied with something, and then he bent down.

As she bent over, the curves of her waist, hips and legs suddenly became apparent, and Xiao Jinglu couldn't take his eyes away for some reason.

Qi Yang put on his pants and his outer robe and walked out. He met Xiao Jinglu's gaze, who was staring at the screen in a daze. He pulled his long hair out of his clothes and asked, "What are you staring at?"

Xiao Jinglu came back to his senses, his eyes quickly slid across his exposed skin, then he forced his eyes back to the book in front of him, pinched his knuckles, and said with a stern face, "Nothing."

Qi Yang didn't ask any further questions. He felt very uncomfortable because of his wet body.

"I'll go back and change my clothes and come back to teach you later."

Xiao Jinglu watched him leave in a hurry, stunned for a moment, and muttered, "Liar."

He was pretending to be weak just now, but now he is walking briskly again.
