In the next few days, Xu Jiu took leave of absence due to illness, and did not go to court or take office.

That whipping can't be in vain, if you don't take the opportunity to lie at home for two days, you will be sorry for yourself.And he just came to ancient times, even with 888, he can't change many habits, he needs time to adapt.

The life in the mansion is quite good. As the eldest son of the Zhuo family, Xu Jiu has his own yard, and usually no outsiders will disturb him. He writes and writes to tease the birds when he has nothing to do. He doesn't have to worry about food and clothing and has someone to wait , It is simply a life that can't be imagined in dreams.

Of course, after all, he said he was sick at home. If someone really came, Xu Jiu would still go back to bed. He should pretend to be sick and lie down.

Therefore, in the past few days, there have been rumors in the government and the public, and among the people, that the talented and beautiful Xiao Zhuo is sick and can only lie on the bed every day.

It is probably quite famous in the capital, and in just a few days, such rumors have spread across most of the capital.

Xu Jiu didn't know what the outside world said, and he still enjoyed himself in the mansion every day.

In addition to the fact that the news spread more and more widely, and more and more people watched him, it was quite annoying and tiring.

In the past two days, many colleagues in the court have come to see him, and many princes and nobles have also come, and even the virtuous king has come over in person.

It seems that apart from the emperor, there is only a certain heartless male protagonist who has never been here.

When King Xian came to see him, he was still very curious about how he fell ill when he was doing well.

Xu Jiu lay there and moaned: "Don't mention it, my father took care of me."

"Oh?" Ying Chenhao sat on the edge of his bed, "Miss Zhuo can read and write at the age of three and compose poems at the age of five. He has outstanding literary talent and is also conscientious and dedicated to his duties in the court. How can Master Zhuo have the heart to beat you?"

"Oh, it's all over, so don't mention it." Of course Xu Jiu couldn't say why he was beaten. He pretended to look sideways at Ying Chenhao, and asked, "Why did the virtuous king use his time to come here? Look at me, a mere courtier." ?”

"Of course you are sick, this king wants to come and see." The virtuous king looks very similar to the current emperor, with a delicate face with good skin, and it looks like it will make people feel close for no reason.

Ying Chenhao said, and frowned again: "I suddenly remembered what you said, and I wanted to ask you, what have you done recently to offend the Emperor Longyan? I haven't seen you for a long time. This is what the emperor is doing."

???

Xu Jiu looked confused, but didn't take it to heart.

Thinking about it carefully, he has been honest these few days, how did he provoke the emperor?

Besides, what does the emperor think about him?

[That being said, this is ancient times. The emperor holds the power of life and death, and can decide your life and death. 888 thinks that the number of hosts should be considered. 】

Xu Jiu waved his hands in his heart, and at the same time stuffed a peanut into his mouth, casually said: "The Sacred Heart is unpredictable. We should not speculate casually."

That way he didn't take the emperor seriously at all.

888: […]

Although it is very important to complete the task, there are actually very few people like the host who have such a unique condition in this world but are not greedy for imperial power to hug the emperor's thigh, nor are they bloated to the point of forgetting themselves.

The tasks arranged by the system are random, and the identities accepted by the bound person are also random

These identities range from high to low, and there are quite a few characters with family backgrounds and identities like this world [Zhuo Yunxiao].

But it is not necessarily a good thing to have such a role.

Many hosts just got lost in this identity and forgot their mission.

Many of them forget to run because they were born on the finish line of others, and let themselves indulge in the world with unique conditions, forgetting who they are and what they want to do.

Of course, there is nothing to criticize about this behavior.

They just chose to forget, chose to give up their original world, their original relatives and friends, willing to stay in this world for the rest of their lives.

In fact, the data show that there are not a few such people, and even almost everyone will get lost in such a world.

So far, there is really only one person who doesn't care about anything like his own host, and only wants to heal the disease and go home.

888 also thought about analyzing the reason why the host was so determined to complete the task.

Later, it found that human psychological activities and thoughts were still too difficult for the system to understand, so it could only give up and continue to observe.

However, the nature of one's own host not being affected by external objects is special, and it is worth 888's boasting in front of other systems for a year.

What's more, that lord... had a one-to-one bond with its host!

Xu Jiu didn't know that he already had such a high evaluation from his starling. In fact, he didn't know anything.

After seeing off His Highness the Xian Wang, he got up again and sat on the couch and ate melon seeds for a long time, until he felt his cheeks were a little sore and his stomach was a little full before he stopped.

...After that, he simply lay down again, intending to sleep again.

【……are you a pig? ] Just after boasting, he was slapped in the face, 888 hates it in his heart!

Although he was still thinking about the mission and was not blinded by the materiality and vanity in front of him, he still had to say that the host has been really decadent recently!

Although the previous host's method was a little stupid, but because the desire to complete the task was too strong, no matter what happened to him, he would not feel frustrated and stagnated.

This is also one of the reasons why 888 has listed the host as a task pacesetter without saying anything.

But looking at it now, although the host is still thinking about the task every day, he is not as diligent as before. He stays in the mansion all day, in the name of adapting to the new environment, but in the eyes of 888, this is shrinking!

[Aren't you in a hurry to go home and see your mother? 】888, who can only detect the host's superficial consciousness but not the deep thoughts in the host's heart, is full of curiosity.

"Worry." Xu Jiu said, "Of course I'm anxious."

[Then why... Hurry up and work hard, go find the male lead!Go and use your charm! 】

"I'm struggling. Oh, forget it..." Xu Jiu put the quilt on top of her head irritably, "You don't understand even if I tell you."

Although this can't stop the 888's non-stop beeping sound, it's all deception.

But right now he was distracted, and his heart was empty, but he didn't want to block the voice of this little mentally handicapped boy.

888 was still chattering to cheer him up, Xu Jiu closed his eyes and fell asleep in a daze.

When I woke up again, it was already dark, and I didn't know what time it was.

The ancients didn't often have dinner at night. Except for the big banquets that they had to attend, everyone only used clear soup and water to prevent food accumulation at night.

So no one came to wake him up.

In fact, Xu Jiu woke up because he was awakened by a very small voice.

He was about to wake up, but he didn't sleep soundly, and he was alert again. When he heard the sound, he opened his eyes suddenly, and saw a black shadow beside the bed.

"!!!"

Xu Jiu suddenly covered her mouth.

...Thanks to the psychological quality he has cultivated for so many years, otherwise he might have shouted out at this moment!

Fortunately, he didn't, because he could recognize the person standing by the bed even if it was turned into ashes.

——After all, it's the male protagonist. It's like wearing some kind of marker on his body. How could he not recognize it?

"Wang, lord?"

Although Xu Jiu recognized each other as soon as they met each other, they looked at each other for a while in the dark, but the other party had no intention of speaking at all.

Finally, Xu Jiu spoke first.

"Ah."

After a long time, Ying Yuan responded in a low voice, with a cold and indifferent attitude, as if Xu Jiu was not the one who ran away without saying goodbye that morning.

Xu Jiu felt wronged too.

"My lord, why did you come to my house? You... did you sneak in?"

Ying Yuan didn't answer his question, but changed the subject: "Are you seriously injured?"

"Ah? It's okay..." Xu Jiu was about to get up from the bed, but Ying Yuan pressed his shoulder lightly with one hand, stopping his movement.

"Let me take a look." Ying Yuan said.

"?" Xu Jiu didn't understand, "My lord, what do you want to see?"

"Are you... the imperial physician?"

"Ah? You don't need to see the imperial doctor for such a trivial matter, right?" Although his family is a family of powerful ministers, he does not have the right to invite the imperial doctor to see him. He can only do so after a special application.He understands so few things, but Ying Yuan doesn't understand...

It took a few moments for Ying Yuan to say: "Then let me have a look."

"Oh." You can watch it if you want.

Xu Jiu obediently lay still on her stomach.

He has never slept honestly. He can roll from head to toe on a bed several meters long, and he has a variety of sleeping positions.

Usually, when I meet customers, I call myself sick, so I can only lie on my stomach in order to act like a character, but I can’t maintain this position when I fall asleep.

But it was a coincidence that when Ying Yuan came, he happened to be lying on his stomach, presumably the other party should not be able to see anything unusual.

"My lord, my injury is almost healed, and now my internal injury is a bit more serious." Xu Jiu made nonsense.

In order not to go up to court, he also worked hard.

"Why is there an internal injury?" Ying Yuan's voice dropped an octave in vain, and there was still a hint of doubt in the question.

"Of course it is..." I was beaten by my father...

Before Xu Jiu, who was complaining casually, could utter a complete sentence, her voice stopped abruptly.

He suddenly felt a chill behind his buttocks.

? ? !

No, my lord, don't you want to see my back that was whipped? !What's going on?Wocao, where are you touching?

Xu Jiu was in pain and unbearable, and with a moaning sound, he let out a groan.

After a while, Ying Yuan frowned and withdrew his hand, "Where are you injured? This king sees that you are doing well."

His tone was visibly relieved.

Although the voice was still stern, it was more helpless and funny.

"..." Xu Jiu's short-circuited head was unsatisfied with the words of the Lord Regent, and suddenly a flash of inspiration occurred, and he realized that it seems that you are thinking too much...

At this moment, he suddenly felt a weight on his back, followed by warm snorting on the back of his neck—Ying Yuan half-bent down on him, breathing on his neck and ears and said: "Why, pretending to be sick at home is to force me to come to see you?"

Xu Jiu: "..." Misunderstanding!

This is all a misunderstanding!

I pretended to be sick just because I didn't want to go to court early in the morning or be left behind by the emperor. Your lord... you actually think that I was injured there and it's okay... This kind of thinking is too unfair!

Xu Jiu was complaining frantically in her head, when she suddenly heard Ying Yuan say in a hoarse voice, "Then you succeeded, little one."
