cloud mud

Hangover, splitting headache.

Xiangxia turned over, propped up her body by pressing her painful temples, yawned, leaned on the bedside table, reached for the small teapot by the bedside, raised her head and took a sip, thinking: "The broken bed is getting more and more crowded, as if there are two people lying on it..."

"..."

"???"

"... two people????"

Xiangxia stiffened and turned her head to the other side bit by bit, the familiar little face was sleeping next to her, with dried tears still hanging on her face, with a pitiful look of being bullied miserably.

Xiangxia spit out all the tea in a sip, she was stunned for a moment, and didn't recall it for a long time.

At this time, Chu Tan moved his body, hummed wearily, and his voice was hoarse.

Xiangxia just came back to her senses, fell and crawled off the bed, knelt down with a plop, stretched out her hand tremblingly, and lifted the quilt covering Chu Tan's body.

Chu Tan curled up sideways, his slender body was only covered by half a torn thin coat, his whole body was covered with blue and red hickey marks, and there were still a few traces of blood between his legs, drying up on his fair and red skin.

"I...me?" Xiangxia frantically recalled last night's absurd behavior, the memory gradually changed from blurred to clear, remembering the appearance of Chu Tan begging and begging herself in pain last night, and bearing the pain under her body——

This is not a spring dream.

Feeling cold, Chu Tan curled up, gradually became sober, slowly opened his eyes, half-opened his eyes and looked at Xiangxia who was kneeling on the bedside, wanted to speak, opened his mouth, and closed his eyes tiredly.

"My lord..." Xiangxia anxiously walked over to Chu Tan's side, touched his face, it was terribly hot.

"Fever, this subordinate should die." Xiangxia picked up Chu Tan as usual, put him in her arms to comfort him, and pressed his lips against his forehead to comfort him, "This subordinate should die, I'll call the doctor over here .”

"You...go." Chu Tan resisted and pushed Xiangxia's hand away, his whole body was still limp, and his pushing hand was too limp to use any strength, "Stay away from me... Let Jianguan come over... "

Xiangxia's heart trembled, she slowly put down Chu Tan, bowed her head and knelt down at his feet, her forehead was about to touch the ground, and pleaded guilty in fear: "This subordinate is drunk and dereliction of duty, he deserves death, let the lord take care of him... the most urgent thing is to take care of the lord's precious body , please allow this subordinate to take you to heal your injuries..."

Chu Tan sighed imperceptibly, nestled weakly beside the pillow, stretched out his slender wrist towards Xiangxia.

Xiangxia respectfully helped Chu Tan's hand as if he had received great kindness, and hugged the little master again into his arms. The heartbeat in his chest was so violent that he couldn't suppress it. He reached out tremblingly to hook Chu Tan's clothes, and wrapped them carefully. in his body.

I thought to myself, it is too kind for the master to order me to die now.

Chu Tan nestled in Xiangxia's warm arms, his heart was in a mess.The former inseparable reliance has become her one-night lover, worthy of being a shadow guard, Xiangxia pretends to be innocent without knowing it, and wants him to kill him.

Chu Tan was so angry that his whole body ached and he was so wronged, he clutched Xiangxia's skirt tightly, his eyes were red.

"Don't cry, my lord, this subordinate is guilty." Xiangxia begged in a low voice, feeling even more distressed in her heart. She swore before but didn't hurt her master at all. I don't know how much pain the child suffered last night. This should scare the child who has always trusted and clinged to her.

"You..." Chu Tan's voice was hoarse, and he leaned wearily on Xiangxia's shoulder, frowning tightly, and asked him coldly, "Is it all over with death?"

"The subordinates can let the lord do what they want, as long as the lord is comfortable, the subordinates will accept it anyway." Xiangxia could only fawn on her with her tail between her legs in fear. It doesn't matter what you do, what matters is how you can make up for the mistakes you made to your master.

"..." Chu Tan raised his eyelids, looked at Xiangxia lightly, and suddenly raised his voice, "Jianguan."

Xiangxia's face turned pale, and she reminded Chu Tan in a low voice: "My lord, clothes!"

Chu Tan nestled quietly in his arms, her snow-white and slender legs sticking out of her clothes.

This circle is full of shadow guards' residences, Jianguan left the mansion yesterday to do some business, just came back this morning, he is living next door to Xiangxia.

Early in the morning, when Jianguan heard the prince calling him in Xiangxia's room, he was surprised, got up quickly from the bed, tidied up his appearance twice, quickly jumped in from the window, knelt in front of Chu Tan and waited for orders.

From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Xiangxia hugging the embarrassed prince, whose shiny and straight calf was still hanging outside.

He didn't dare to raise his head to look more, he just pretended he didn't see it, and told himself in his heart that the prince and the shadow guard had always been close, as expected.

Chu Tan said indifferently: "Followers from Xiangxia committed crimes, they refused to mend their ways after repeated admonitions, and were dragged to the execution room for punishment."

Xiangxia listened tremblingly, this is what he deserved, the prince didn't give poisoned wine, it was already considered the friendship between master and servant in the past.

Unexpectedly, Chu Tan said the word again softly, Xiangxia and Jianguan felt chills down their spines, and their hairs were terrified.

He said, "Cannonball."

Xiangxia froze immediately, staring at the child nestled in her arms with wide eyes, seemingly innocent and weak, she didn't know when she had become indifferent and vicious.

The torture of cannon fire is the death penalty in which the sinner is tied to a red-hot copper pillar and burned alive into coke.

Chu Tan remained calm, lightly picking Xiangxia's collar, looking at him indifferently.Xiangxia swallowed her saliva, cold sweat dripped from her palms, and said intermittently: "My lord... I see that my subordinates have served the palace for many years..."

"Jianguan, what are you doing in a daze, can't you hear what this king is saying?"

Jianguan felt cold all over, and looked at Xiangxia tremblingly: "Yes..."

It really is true that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. Since entering the mansion, Xiangxia has only been favored by the prince, and the reward status is unmatched. So far, he has met a miserable death, probably the rain is over.

Xiangxia felt that every joint in his body was stiff, and Chu Tan's hot cheek was pressed against his chest, which made him terrified, but his sword belt was at hand, and he didn't turn his eyes towards it look.

Xiangxia only thought of resisting and disobeying his master.

"Are you scared?" Chu Tan gently grabbed Xiangxia's collar and asked him softly, "Please."

"Please, my lord..." Xiangxia is like a big dog that has made a mistake, with its tail between its legs and eyelids drooping, not daring to meet Chu Tan's gaze.

"Please let me let you enter the palace." Chu Tan stared at him coldly.

"..."

Xiangxia was startled, smiled wryly and shook his head: "The lord has made an agreement with some nobleman, do you want my subordinates to marry his concubine's daughter? It's okay, as long as you say a word, the subordinates will die... There is no need to threaten and force .”

"Well. It's still loyal." Chu Tan snorted softly.

"I don't know which nobleman's house it is..."

Chu Tan interrupted him and said directly: "Zhennan Prince's Mansion."

Xiangxia was stunned.

Jianguan stared at Xiangxia with wide eyes.

Chu Tan blushed slightly, buried his face in Xiangxia's arms, and murmured, "Why, if you don't want to go to the torture hall, you have two choices."

Without waiting for Xiangxia to speak again, Chu Tan stretched out his hand to Jianguan: "Take me back to the room to change clothes, Xiangxia will reflect here, when he has figured it out, go see me again."

"Yes." Jian Guan respectfully helped Chu Tan up, and led Chu Tan out of Xiangxia's residence.

Xiangxia knelt by her door for a whole day with a shocked expression on her face.

In the evening, several medicine bowls were placed on the tea table in the dormitory, and Chu Tan didn't drink the medicine soup when it was cold, lying limply on the soft couch in his dormitory, tossing and turning uncomfortable.

It was swollen and hurt inside.

Backache.

The heat hasn't faded yet, and my whole body hurts.

Lianjiao came in and announced: "My lord, the shadow guard is asking to see you."

"What's the matter?" Chu Tan raised his eyes and asked him.

"Well...he's here to deliver medicine."

"No, tell him to go away." Chu Tan covered his head irritably.

It's all so obvious, why pretend to send medicine?This king is not rare.

After being bored for a while, Chu Tan felt dizzy even more, and the fever had not subsided all over. He was embarrassed to ask the doctor to come over, and he wanted to bear it by himself, so he passed it.In all these years since he was a child, when did Chu Tan suffer such aggrievedness.

Just as she was annoyed in her heart, a big hand grabbed her wrist with her little feet exposed outside the brocade quilt.

Xiangxia sat at the foot of the bed, gently holding Chu Tan's bare foot, there were still finger prints from last night on Bai Nen's ankle.Xiangxia's hand strength is so strong, last night he was not serious, but he did not expect to pinch the little master with red marks.

Xiangxia dipped a piece of ointment and applied a layer of ointment to Chu Tan. In the past, seeing other young masters and young masters had to apply ointment to recuperate even if their skin was slightly scratched, Xiangxia always sneered, disdainful of their squeamishness, and hurt her little master today. With a fingerprint on his body, Xiangxia felt distressed and wanted to apply some medicine to him.

"It's so cold." Xiangxia frowned, put Chu Tan's cold little feet into her arms to warm her, and whispered through Chu Tan who was told to cover her head under the blanket, "My lord, don't be angry, Injury."

Chu Tan was indifferent.

"My subordinate has been reflecting on it all day, and I know I was wrong." Xiangxia admitted his mistake in a low voice, "I shouldn't drink alcohol without authorization and neglect my duties, I shouldn't have a secret relationship with Mr. Ningfu, I shouldn't be blind to recognize the prince's body, I shouldn't Put the dirt in the prince..."

Chu Tan weakly lifted the quilt covering his head, and scolded him hoarsely: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Xiangxia's body trembled, and she quickly continued to admit her mistake with her tail between her legs: "My lord, this subordinate knows my mistake. My lord shy away from medical treatment, so my subordinate went to buy some ointment."

After finishing speaking, he took out the ointment that cost him three months' salary from his cuff, and offered it to Chu Tan with both hands.

When buying medicine, Xiangxia wandered around the door of the medicine shop for more than a dozen times, and finally thought up the plan, and asked as soon as she entered, "Shopkeeper, do you have any medicine for internal injuries?"

The shopkeeper was still puzzled, and when asked about the internal injury, Xiangxia thought for a long time before explaining, "The intercourse is too much."

The shopkeeper was even more puzzled: "Who uses it?"

Xiangxia had no choice but to say, "I use it, I use it."

Only then did the pharmacy shopkeeper come back with the medicine under the surprised, perplexed, contemptuous gaze.

Chu Tan glanced wearily at the medicine in Xiangxia's hand: "Put it there. I don't feel well."

"Uncomfortable..." Xiangxia tucked the corner of the quilt for Chu Tan, picked up the medicine bowl on the table, reheated it on the small stove, and handed it to Chu Tan.

Chu Tan was so miserable that he had no strength to get up again.

"My lord, you will go back to sleep later and drink up the medicine." Xiang Xia stretched out her hand to support him, but Chu Tan brushed her away.

Chu Tan looked at him boredly: "Stay away from me."

"It's wrong, it's wrong, it's wrong." Xiangxia supported Chu Tan's slender wrist, helped him up, and leaned against her arms, holding a medicine bowl and using a small spoon to feed Chu Tan the medicine one bite at a time.

"Your subordinate is guilty, don't get so angry, you said you hit me twice but couldn't let go, scolded me but couldn't open my mouth, kicked me but couldn't move my legs..."

"You can't move your legs." Chu Tan gave Xiangxia a hard look, which caused Xiangxia's tail to be clamped again.
