Bad water self-cultivation.

When a slave enters the inner hall of the prince, he usually needs to take a bath and wash off all the dirt on his body before entering, so Huo Qian continued to take a bath, then changed his clothes and went out.

Huali who went with him was about the same age as Huo Bao, but girls developed earlier than boys, so Huali looked older than Huo Bao.

The two went outside the hall together, and the maid who was guarding outside quickly waved.

"Remember, His Highness must finish drinking it." The maid looked at the two of them, and finally handed the medicine bowl to Huo Chen.

"Yes." Huo Bao didn't look up, but took it with a timid yet obedient look.

The eldest maid led the two of them inside again, and said: "Be careful when you go in, and don't make His Highness angry."

Once you get angry, the consequence is—the smell of blood will be added to the temple again.

The two immediately nodded obediently.

The eldest maid retreated, leaving only Huo Bao and Huali in the whole hall. With a few coughs coming from inside, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Huo Gu had already met Xiao Li, so of course he wasn't afraid of him, but he still had a very timid and restrained look on his face.

Through a layer of light golden curtain, you can see the curling sandalwood burning inside. It smells very good and has the effect of relaxing people's body and mind.

But at this moment, the two people outside the curtain couldn't relax.

One is genuinely afraid, the other is pretending to be afraid.

Huo Qin walked forward in small steps, bowed his body, held the medicine bowl flat with both hands, breathing tremblingly: "Your Highness, Your Highness..."

Before he finished speaking, "Boom!" A heavy object was thrown out from the curtain, and it hit Huo Chen's forehead impartially.In an instant, blood was splashed on his forehead.

Huo Gu: "..." His body couldn't help shaking, but he still held the medicine bowl firmly in his hand, and didn't spill a little.

Huali next to her was so frightened that she instantly bent over and knelt on the ground. She hadn't fully recovered to a normal person, so she let out a few ahhhs.

"Get out." The voice from inside was not cold, but it also made people shiver.

Huali was so frightened that he didn't dare to move, but Huo Bao took a few steps forward. His speech was still a little labored and clumsy, but he was able to express himself clearly, and said nervously: "Your Highness... Please drink the medicine..."

With a sound of "wow", the curtain was lifted, and the next moment, a long sword stabbed towards Huo Chen, the blade pierced his throat, but stopped suddenly.

Huo Gu knew that Xiao Li had recognized him, but he still didn't raise his head, his eyes were fixed on the ground in an orderly manner, with a strong and restrained look.

Xiao Li seemed to smile a bit, his pale face was bloodless, and the hair between his forehead was a little messy.

Some did not expect.

He turned around and put away his sword, walked in unsteadily again, and lay sideways on the couch.

"Bring it in." A voice came from inside, this time it sounded a little more peaceful than before.

"Yes." Huo Bao still didn't dare to look up, and slowly walked inside with a trembling look.

After walking in, he knelt on the ground with a trembling voice: "Please Your Highness..., drink the medicine."

The clothes on Xiao Li's body were messy and scattered, and he was a little sickly lazy. At this moment, he looked at the violent prince who was about to swing a sword to kill people, and he was instantly different. With a smile on his face, he said gently: " Then you can taste it for this hall first, is it bitter?"

"..." The corner of Huo Bao's mouth twitched slightly, of course Xiao Li couldn't see it, he only saw the trembling shoulders of this little slave.

"Why, you don't want to?" Seeing that there was no movement for a long time, Xiao Li's breath suddenly overwhelmed him, and he was very close to Huo Bao, like a snake coiled around his head.

"Slaves don't dare." Huo Chen quickly took down the bowl, lowered his head and took a sip seriously, his brows frowned instantly, and then replied, "Bitter."

"Then I won't drink it in this hall, you can take it down." Xiao Li raised his eyebrows and said.

Huo Qian: "..."

After a while, seeing that the people on the ground still didn't move, Xiao Li didn't show any intention of getting angry, and said again: "Since you don't want to leave, then you can kneel here and guard the main hall all night, okay?"

"...Yes." Huo Si said with an extremely humble and obedient look, his eyes fixed on the ground.

Xiao Li noticed that the wound on his forehead that would be smashed by him was bright red, and the blood was almost solidified.Without saying anything, he closed his eyes and lay down on the couch.

Outside the curtain, Huali shivered and knelt on the ground.The eldest maid was also waiting outside the hall, and it took a long time for the two of them to come out. She thought she was going to collect the corpse again, but she never smelled the smell of blood coming from inside.

Until midnight, at Choushi, the inside and outside of the hall were also quiet.

Xiao Li lay on the couch with his eyes closed, as if he had really fallen asleep. His facial features were excellent, with a high nose and thin lips, a jade-like face, and narrow and long eyes that did not look ostentatious, but gave off a gloomy beauty.

He didn't seem to be angry, but he actually punished Huo Si.

Huo Bao has been kneeling until now, unable to raise his head, and unable to put down the medicine bowl in his hand, his whole body is going stiff, and he feels that his knees and arms are almost not his own.

Just as I was about to have a boring conversation with the system, a voice suddenly came from the couch in front of me: "It's hot...it's so hot, come here!"

Xiao Li was sweating on his forehead while pulling his clothes with his fingers, as if he felt hot and uncomfortable.

Huo Qin's eyes slightly fluttered, even if he knew that he was pretending, he had to immediately put down the medicine bowl and went forward, nervously said: "Your Highness."

Xiao Li opened his eyes suddenly, put one hand into Huo Bao's hair, and the other strangled his neck, his strength was so strong that it didn't match his usual sickly appearance.

Huo Si whimpered a few times, his neck turned red, his breathing was choked, and he felt that those hands might really want to pinch him to death for a moment, but when Huo Chen was really about to lose his breath and was the closest to death, he He let go again suddenly, his fingers slipped down on the bed, and the person on the bed closed his eyes again, quietly, as if what happened just now was just a nightmare.

Huo Qin took a few breaths before recovering a little bit, his face turned pale, just about to return to his original position and continue to kneel, but the person on the couch suddenly grabbed him: "This hall is so hot..., you Help the hall cool down."

Huo Qian's mission is to attack him, of course he will not be disgusted with contacting him, but with his current status, he still has to panic immediately and say: "Slave dare not." His body also immediately looks like he is about to leave in a hurry.

But Xiao Li suddenly pulled him over, let him cover his body, and said in a dark voice: "If you move again, this hall will punish you with death."

Huo Gu had been trained as a tool for a period of time, so of course he knew what the Fourth Prince meant by putting to death, he trembled tremblingly and was so frightened that he no longer dared to move.

Xiao Li was very satisfied with this, brushed his fingers over the back of the person on his body, landed on his waist, and hugged him lightly.

Huo Bao's body was really cold at the moment because he had been kneeling on the ground for most of the night, and Xiao Li was indeed very comfortable to hold, but he didn't have any emotion at all, he just suddenly felt that it was very interesting.

Huo Bao was terrified on the face, his body trembled slightly, but his heart was also very calm. He could see the progress of his strategy from the system. Xiao Li: Zero percent.

"........."

The system shook its golden feathers, as if it wanted to encourage the host not to be discouraged, so he cheered up and said: "Ai, come on! Don't forget, you are a monster that hurts people."

Huo Bao's mood didn't fluctuate at first, but when he heard this sentence, he suddenly became a little complicated.

"... Ah Chu?" The system was a little flustered, did it say something wrong?

Huo Qin smiled helplessly: "Maomao, I'm not a demon."

The system wanted to refute him, but after thinking about it, for the sake of harmony between itself and the host, it finally curled up and went to sleep again.

Xiao Li is gloomy and difficult to discern, just like he would suddenly want to crush Huo Bao to death, but in the next second, he would want to hug Huo Bao and fall asleep.

If there is such a closeness like nothing, in the final analysis, he also wants Huo Bao to be loyal to him.

He wants Huo Qian to know that I can crush you to death at any time, but I can also treat you well. Whether this is good or not depends on you.

If it is someone who is really smart and worthy of his training in the future, he should understand.

Huo Qin could understand Xiao Li's thoughts, so he was really quiet and lay on Xiao Li's body obediently.

The next day, before dawn, Huo Bao was pushed away and fell to the ground when he was finally about to fall asleep.

Xiao Li seemed to be taken aback for a moment before he remembered Huo Bao's existence. He got off the bed and said to the people on the ground, "Raise your head."

Huo Gu hadn't dared to look up at Xiao Li since he came in, and he could only raise his head when he heard the order.

Xiao Li bent his eyes and looked at the people on the ground, as if he was expecting something.

Huo Qian also knew what he was expecting, and slowly raised his head, looking with a pair of eyes like clear springs: "Ah..."

The last word "cloud" was suddenly strangled in his throat, his eyes were full of joy, but then he became complicated and panicked.

It turned out that the person who helped him heal his illness was actually the Fourth Prince!

Huo Bao's expression was justly forbearing and at a loss, he hurriedly knelt on the ground, his fingers digging into his clothes.

Obviously, Xiao Li was not very satisfied with this reaction, he narrowed his eyes slightly: "Are you disappointed?"
