The weather was really hot, and Rong Cheng had fair skin, so his face became sunburned in a short while, and his forehead was covered with sweat.

Lu Jun took out a towel from his arms and tried to wipe the sweat off Rong Cheng's wet hands. Suddenly, his elbow hurt so much that he fell into the paddy field, holding his arm, in a state of embarrassment.

Rong Cheng looked up and saw this scene, and asked hurriedly: "What's wrong with you?"

Lu Jun's hair and body were all wet, and he forced a smile: "It's okay, I just wanted to help you wipe the sweat off, and I don't know why my hand suddenly hurt."

After saying that, he lifted up his sleeves and suddenly saw that his elbow was red and purple and swollen.

Rong Cheng subconsciously looked at Chen Huai who had a cold face on the shore.

Lu Jun was scared, his lips trembled, and cold sweat broke out:

"Could this be the poisonous rove beetle the farmers mentioned? What should we do?"

At this time, Chen Huai's voice came from above, seeming to be worried:

"It's terrible. I heard that if you get bit by this rove beetle, the wound will be extremely painful. If you don't see a doctor immediately, the venom will spread throughout your body. In serious cases, you may die, but in mild cases..."

Lu Jun's trembling eyes were wet, and he asked in panic: "Master Chen, what will happen at the least? Tell me quickly."

Chen Huai shook his head regretfully:

"At the very least, it's inhumane, just like the others. But Lord Lu, don't worry, you will still be a high-ranking official, and you can marry a wife and concubines, and enjoy the pleasure of your life."

As soon as these words were spoken, the Jinyiwei guards nearby gritted their teeth, their faces turned red from trying to hold back their laughter, and when they saw the emperor looking at them, they quickly lowered their heads.

But Lu Jun was very scared. He stumbled up to the paddy field, grabbed Chen Huai's hand, and begged:

"Master Chen, please save me. I don't want to... Hurry up, get on the horse and find the nearest doctor."

Chen Huai pretended to be concerned and called Luo Hai:

"Go, get on the horse and carry Lord Lu to the nearest clinic in the county. If we go too late, Lord Lu will be dead."

Without waiting for Luo Hai's reply, Lu Jun jumped on his horse and yelled at Luo Hai without any manners:

"Hurry up! Can you afford to pay for the delay?"

Seeing Chen Huai nod, Luo Hai quickly mounted his horse and carried Lu Jun away.

Chen Huai was trying to hold back his laughter, his facial features were a little distorted, and when he saw them leave, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Rong Cheng came ashore and stood in front of Chen Huai. His expression was indescribable, and there was a subtle indulgence in his eyes.

He said coldly: "Childish, let's go"

The smile on Chen Huai's face gradually faded. Seeing Rong Cheng like this, he thought he just felt sorry for Lu Jun. He immediately felt irritated, even more uncomfortable than when he saw them talking and laughing just now. He was shocked to find that he seemed to care too much about Rong Cheng.

This is not a good sign. He has been a playboy and has never thought about settling down. Even if he has that intention, Rong Cheng is the emperor and it is impossible.

Chen Huai's heart, which had been anxious all day, gradually cooled down, without any ripples.

There was no conversation along the way. Chen Huai and three other guards drove the carriage to Lanxi County and found an inn to spend the night.

The county town was not big and the people were simple and honest. There were only a few guests in the inn. The old lady prepared the food and hot water and went to rest.

Chen Huai was about to leave after serving Rong Cheng his meal, but was stopped.

"Wait, wash my feet for me." Rong Cheng glanced at the environment of the inn and had no expectations for bathing.

Chen Huai glanced at the emperor who was sitting beside the bed with a matter-of-fact look on his face, and had to go downstairs to fetch a bucket of warm water and put it in front of him: "Wash!"

Rong Cheng was stunned, then frowned and ordered:

"You serve"

Chen Huai had been depressed for the whole day and was in a bad mood. He said casually, "How about I call Lu Jun over for you, and you ask him to..."

Before he could finish, the handkerchief was pulled into Chen Huai's arms. Rong Cheng's face turned red with anger and he stood up angrily:

"I told you to wash. How dare you disobey me?"

Chen Huai glanced at Rong Cheng's bare feet and half of his calves, which were covered with mud and broken grass from the paddy field. He looked up and saw that the corners of his eyes were red from anger. His heart softened and he walked forward gloomily:

"Sit down, I'll wash you."

Seeing him coming back, Rong Cheng also sat down with a cold face. His feet were held by a pair of big hands and placed in a basin of warm water. Only then did Rong Cheng feel more comfortable both physically and mentally.

Chen Huai's hands had thin calluses, and it felt a little itchy when he washed them, but Rong Cheng didn't want to avoid them.

Her eyes were fixed on Chen Huai, and gradually her ears turned red, and even her eyes sparkled. Finally, she couldn't help it anymore, and stepped back slightly with a chuckle: "Itchy..."

Chen Huai was slightly startled and looked up: "What?"

He didn't hear clearly, although he kept trying to stay calm, but the feet of the person in front of him were a masterpiece of God, white and tender, with round and cute toes and slender ankles that could be held with only half of his hand.

Rong Cheng rolled his eyes at him, unable to bear to see him being so silly. But the next second, two lines of blood flowed down Chen Huai's nose. He was stunned on the spot:

"You, you're bleeding."

Chen Huai frowned slightly, his mind was confused: "What's bleeding?"

Rong Cheng grabbed the cloth next to him and started to wipe him. Seeing Chen Huai staring at him, Rong Cheng's heart skipped a beat, his face flushed, and he shyly stuffed the towel into his arms and turned his face away:

"Wipe it yourself"

But when he tried to pull his hand back, Chen Huai grabbed it. Seeing Rong Cheng turning around with a look of surprise but not refusing, Chen Huai's eyes suddenly brightened, his breathing trembled slightly, and he moved closer with a blank mind.

I don't know who started it first, but after a while, the two of them were kissing each other, and the water in the bucket under the bed spilled all over the floor...

The next day, Chen Huai woke up early and opened the door. He saw the old lady scratching her head on the first floor with a confused look on her face. She asked:

"Mother-in-law, what's wrong?"

The old lady looked up and smiled innocently: "Nothing, there must be a water leak in the house. There was a water stain on the floor this morning."

Chen Huai was speechless. Just at this moment, Rong Cheng pushed open the door from the next room. After hearing these words, he suddenly closed the door again.

The old lady was puzzled: "What's wrong, young master? Are you feeling unwell?"

Chen Huai's eyes flashed with a smile, and he deliberately said loudly: "It's okay, he is shy and afraid of strangers."

"Oh, I'm glad you're not sick. Come down to eat later."

Rong Cheng's cheeks were flushed behind the door. Hearing Chen Huai's words, he felt angry and ashamed. He laughed and cursed: "Dog slave!"

Chen Huai was outside the door, and with the help of the sunlight outside, he saw the figure behind the door. He sighed in his heart, thinking that it was all his fault for not being strong-willed. He had wanted to stay away from it, but instead he became more and more entangled.

Even though they didn't go all the way last night, Chen Huai knew that he wouldn't be able to hold back next time. He had no damn resistance to Rong Cheng.

He also felt strange. He had seen all kinds of beauties in his previous life, but none of them could give him this feeling.

He stood quietly in front of the wooden railing on the second floor, and suddenly remembered what the system had said: if he was really moved one day, it would not bother him.

Chen Huai froze in place and couldn't help looking at the figure in the room. Is he... attracted to Rong Cheng?
