The General Is As Urgent As Law

In the general's account.

Seeing that everyone had gone out, Xue Ziqin was a little nervous.He also covered the young man with the cloak, went to wash a veil himself, and wiped the young man's forehead and cheeks little by little.The boy looks really outstanding, his eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to Xue Changfeng, but he is a hundred times softer than Xue Changfeng.The boy hadn't woken up yet, Xue Ziqin didn't even dare to rest, so he sat by the couch, grabbing a book to pass the time.But when the page was opened, the characters seemed to have changed shape, and they couldn't catch Xue Ziqin's eyes no matter what.He was clearly holding the book, but from time to time his eyes would go to the boy's face.

The first time he saw the boy's face at Wei Lin's place, Xue Ziqin recognized who he was.

It is the youngest son of the current emperor, the Ninth Prince Cen Liyu.

Coincidentally, what Min Qiu reported that day was that the third prince was assassinated at a sacrifice to heaven, and the nobleman accompanying him disappeared. This matter had to be investigated by Xue Ziqin, but Cen Liyan, who was seriously injured, was picked up by Wei Lin.Thinking about it this way, he still has to praise Wei Lin?

...Yu'er looks the same as when she was a child, and she can definitely be regarded as one of the best beauties.

Although the boy had not been here for a day or two, it was the first time for Xue Ziqin to look at him so carefully.He unconsciously reached out and gently touched the boy's cheek, which was still flushed sickly, and then touched the boy's lips along his cheek.The lips were tightly closed, and Xue Ziqin's index finger slid over them, and the soft touch made him throb a little strangely.

So, looking good will make people think otherwise.

Xue Ziqin has not seen many women in his life, especially after he was ten years old, the barracks are full of men, and there are not many good-looking ones. The ones with thin skin and tender flesh probably won't live for three days. He is not like Guo Linchong. He likes When visiting kiln halls, there is no chance to meet women.

The young man looked both male and female, his face was pale during illness, and his hair was only tied up at the back of his head casually, which looked morbidly good-looking.

Xue Ziqin immediately withdrew his hand when he thought of this.He shook his head, he didn't want to let this throbbing spread wantonly, but his mind was uncontrollable, and the memories of the past came out in a rush, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

……

Eight years ago.

Going west to invade the border, Xue Ziqin is only 21 years old, but he has been in the barracks for eight years, and has served as Xue Changfeng's deputy general in the northern army.At that time, the northern army only had more than [-] people, and they fought against Xi Su continuously for more than a month, and the situation was always anxious.However, Xue Ziqin volunteered and led his men to sneak attack on the opponent's stronghold from the flanks, and successfully intercepted Xisu's reinforcements. Taking this as a turning point, the Northern Army beat Xisu hard and won a complete victory.

That year Xue Ziqin became famous and was called into the palace together with Xue Changfeng.

The emperor was very satisfied with repelling Xi Su this time, and he added many kinds of gifts and rewards.Afterwards, the emperor also specially allowed Xue Changfeng to meet with his younger sister Concubine Jin. As an adopted son, Xue Ziqin should have greeted this little sister, but Xue Changfeng knew Xue Jin's temper well, so he only asked Xue Ziqin to wait in the palace.

He had nothing to do by himself, so he wandered around the palace naturally.This imperial palace was somewhat familiar to Xue Ziqin. He walked to the Imperial Dining Room with ease, and stood nearby a little emotionally, but suddenly saw a cautious figure hiding at the door of the Imperial Dining Room, looking inside.

It was a child, still wearing brocade clothes. Xue Ziqin stood in the distance and watched with interest, and saw the child sneak into the imperial dining room while the people in the imperial dining room were busy.Xue Ziqin didn't intend to take another look at it, but when he was about to leave, he saw the child being carried out by the tall and burly steward in the imperial dining room, and scolded: "It's true that you came here to steal things at a young age. It's a bastard that no one wants, and no one disciplines it." After he took it out, he threw it on the steps of the imperial dining room.

How could the child stand such a toss, and immediately rolled down the steps.

Bullying the old and the weak happened everywhere, and Xue Ziqin didn't care about it.I thought this little episode would be over like this, but I didn't expect that the manager brought a few subordinates, as if it wasn't enough, he followed down the steps, looking at the posture, as if he was going to hit the child.

"The imperial dining room is short of things from time to time today, it must be stolen by a bastard like you?"

Seeing this scene, Xue Ziqin felt a little uneasy.The child is at most seven or eight years old. If he is taught by such a few people, he may not be able to bear it. If the attack is not serious, he may not be beaten to death.But things are a bit strange, the clothes on the child are very valuable at a glance, wearing like this in the palace must have some status, but now he is stealing things in the imperial dining room and being embarrassed by several servants, it is very strange.

Seeing that they were about to attack, Xue Ziqin quickly strode over and stopped them: "Stop!"

When the people in the imperial dining room heard the voice, they turned their eyes to Xue Ziqin. Xue Ziqin was still wearing armor, so he was not easy to provoke at first glance. Ask flatteringly: "This is..."

"Son of General Xue, Xue Ziqin."

The news of the complete victory of the Dingbei Army at the border was that they had arrived at the palace a few days earlier. After hearing Xue Ziqin's report of his identity, everyone hurried up to salute: "I have seen General Xue."

Tsk, Xue Ziqin really can't stand the virtues of worshiping the high and trampling the low in the palace.He frowned, took a few more steps towards the child, and reached out to help him.The child didn't help his hand, but got up from the ground by himself, raised his head and looked at Xue Ziqin.

The child was born beautifully, but there was a lot of dust on his face.

Seeing that he stood up by himself, Xue Ziqin took his hand back.He was just about to open his mouth to tell the people in the imperial kitchen to leave when the unsuspecting child rushed over and hugged Xue Ziqin.The child was small, hugged Xue Ziqin, his head only reached Xue Ziqin's waist, and cried "Wow": "Cousin——"

Xue Ziqin was stunned for a moment, the child put his hand on his waist, and started crying again, which made him at a loss.To be honest, he, Xue Ziqin, is strictly a loner. Has he ever had any experience coaxing children?He has raised his hand a lot, trying to get the child away, but the child cried pitifully, which aroused Xue Ziqin's unbearable, so the hand raised in the air turned to the child's hair, and rubbed the child's neatly combed hair. With her hair in a neat bun, she coughed twice and said softly, "Don't, don't cry..."

Yue Mo just fell in pain, or was frightened by these servants. The child couldn't stop crying and kept whimpering, not loudly, but Xue Ziqin couldn't watch the child cry.

Especially the few servants next to him were still watching.

He moved his hand away from the child's head, patted his back lightly, turned to the servants and asked, "Who is this child?"

"Reporting to General Xue, this is the Ninth Prince, the son of Concubine Jin."

"Then you still dare to be so presumptuous? Why don't you hurry up?" Xue Ziqin said coldly.

Who doesn't know the relationship between Concubine Jin and the Xue family, she thought she would be held accountable by Xue Ziqin, but now Xue Ziqin let her

They got out, and the servants hurried away and slipped back to the imperial dining room.

Only Xue Ziqin and the child were left, Xue Ziqin really didn't know how to coax him well, so he could only forcefully pull him away from his body, then squatted down and talked to him: "Ninth Prince, your name is Xuan'er, right? Stop crying..." He said, holding up Cen Lixuan's small face, which was dirty and dripping with tears.Xue Ziqin stretched out his calloused thumb and wiped his face. The tears were wiped away, but the dust was also wiped all over his face. Cen Liyan looked at him with teary eyes, but he didn't care. Cry even harder.

"How do you know I'm your cousin?" Xue Ziqin saw that he had made him even more sloppy, he kept moving his hands, and was afraid that he would hurt him, so his movements became more gentle.

Cen Liyu replied intermittently: "General Xue is uncle, you are cousin..."

"It's smart." Xue Ziqin said, and after finally cleaning his face, he saw the child's face.

Red lips, white teeth, bright eyes, she is a beauty, if not for those servants who say he is the prince, Xue Ziqin would believe that he is the princess.

"I said Concubine Jin has always been favored, why are you being bullied like this?" Xue Ziqin asked.

Cen Lixuan finished crying and didn't answer Xue Ziqin's words, but looked at Xue Ziqin with red eyes.

"Hey," Xue Ziqin thought for a while, fearing that the reason might not be a good thing, he asked instead, "Did you get hurt from the fall?"

Cen Lixuan shook his head.

Xue Ziqin looked at the plaque on the imperial dining room behind Cen Lixuan again, and suddenly said excitedly, "Are you hungry when you go to the imperial dining room?"

"I want to eat some snacks..." Cen Lixuan said timidly.

Xue Ziqin picked him up directly, let Cen Liyan sit in his arms, and walked straight towards the door of the imperial dining room: "Since you call me cousin, then I must not let you be wronged, I will take you to have some snacks."

He really brought Cen Lizhen into the imperial dining room, regardless of the faces of those servants, he didn't listen to the words, anyway, whichever plate of dim sum Cen Lizhen fell on, he picked it up and handed it to Cen Lizhen.

The child was innocent, and when he got the snack he wanted to eat, he immediately burst into a smile, and his smile was so innocent and cute, so cute that Xue Ziqin's mood brightened.Cen Lixuan held the dim sum in his little hand, and he passed it to Xue Ziqin's mouth after eating it himself: "Cousin eats too."

Xue Ziqin was not polite, he opened his mouth, bit off and ate cleanly.He just hugged Cen Liyan like this, and walked around the imperial dining room twice, eating while walking, tasting a little bit of each snack.

The servants of the imperial dining room dared not speak out.The snacks that are being made now are all to be sent to various palaces. Now they are eaten by Cen Lixuan and Xue Ziqin, and they will have to redo them in a while, otherwise the imperial dining room will suffer.

If it was someone else, the foreign ministers next to him would make such a fuss, and the Imperial Dining Room might not obey.But who doesn't know that the power of the Xue family is all over the court, and Concubine Jin is the only family in the palace, even if he offends Cen Lixuan, it doesn't matter, Xue Ziqin holds the military power, but he can't afford to offend him.

Seeing that Cen Lixuan had eaten enough, Xue Ziqin led him away without looking back.

"I'll take you back to the palace." Xue Ziqin said, "Why didn't you come out without a slave following you?"

Cen Lixuan was still holding a piece of mung bean cake in his hand, and said sweetly: "I sneaked out."

"Little aunt... I mean Concubine Jin, do you treat me well?" Xue Ziqin asked cautiously.

"Mother doesn't have time to take care of me." Cen Lixuan said, his eyes instantly became lonely.

I'm afraid one can guess the general idea of ​​the matter, but Xue Ziqin didn't understand, anyway, it was Xue Jin's own birth, and she was considered powerful in the palace, how could she allow any servant to bully Cen Lizhen.Did Xue Ziqin grow up in the military camp, and he was not very old, so he couldn't understand the intricacies of the palace, and he didn't want to ask.And seeing that Cen Lixuan was unhappy, he might as well not ask.

"Do you live in Concubine Jin's palace?" Xue Ziqin asked again.

Cen Lizhen shook his head, stretched out his fleshy little finger and pointed in a certain direction: "I live in Changqing Pavilion." Saying this, Xue Ziqin walked faster, and Cen Lizhen stretched out his finger, almost falling off Xue Ziqin's arm.Xue Ziqin hurriedly stabilized his figure, Cen Liyu was also startled, and put his arms around Xue Ziqin's neck.

"Cousin is so kind." Cen Lixuan said suddenly.

The location of Changqing Pavilion is remote and far away, and it takes a long time to get there.

Xue Ziqin put him down, and saw an old nanny coming out from inside, with an anxious expression on his face, and saw Xue Ziqin and Cen Liyan walking towards them in a hurry.

Seeing the old nanny, Cen Lixuan happily called to that side.

Xue Ziqin raised his eyes to see when he encountered such an incident, which made it a little late, so he had to leave quickly.Cen Lixuan's small figure was walking forward, Xue Ziqin called out to him: "Yu'er."

Hearing this, Cen Lixuan turned his head and looked at Xue Ziqin.

"If you are bullied in the future, just tell me and I will protect you." He didn't even think about it, the words had already left his mouth.

"Okay!" Cen Lixuan smiled sweetly at him.

The nanny had already come to the front, and saw that Cen Lizhen's clothes were a little messy, she was very worried, looked left and right on Cen Lizhen, and said "Where is the injury?"

Xue Ziqin smiled, turned and left.

Cen Lixuan explained to the nanny, and wanted to turn around to say something to Xue Ziqin, but when he turned around, Xue Ziqin was no longer there, and there was no trace of his back.

……

I accidentally thought about what happened eight years ago.Cen Lixuan was so cute back then, with a sweet smile, but when I saw him again three years ago, he was as cold as another person.

Now, he is seriously injured and has lost his memory, but he is still indifferent to him, but he is used to ordering others around, even if it is him, Cen Liyu still orders him.

"cousin……"

Xue Ziqin emptied his mind, staring casually at the fire in the general's tent, but a voice from memory suddenly appeared in his ears.He even thought he was hallucinating, but his thoughts were pulled back, and he turned to look at the boy on the couch.

Cen Lixuan opened his eyes and looked at him blankly, and then the blankness in his eyes gradually turned into joy.

Why did it change again?Xue Ziqin was caught off guard by this soft "cousin", just now he thought why Cen Lizhen was so indifferent now, but now he opened his eyes and called him "cousin".

What's the meaning?Fix him?
