I don't want to return

Xue Jinghong's expression suddenly relaxed. He was about to turn around and hug Mu Chongyu, but suddenly thought of something and stopped in his tracks.

"General Shen, I need to trouble you to pick up the third master and go down the mountain with me immediately." Xue Jinghong hesitated for a moment, and had no choice but to say: "I have a cold air all over my body. I am afraid that it will be contaminated by the third master and freeze him."

Naturally, Shen Qing would not object. He bent down and hugged Mu Chongyu, and said: "Brother Kang Si, please bring some people to arrange the carriages and horses, and go down the mountain with us."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Xue Jinghong: "Haven't you asked the general's name? Is there any position under General Zou Chun?"

Xue Jinghong kept looking at Mu Chongyu, and he replied nonchalantly: "My surname is Hong, and the name is Jing. It's just a striker under General Zou, so it's nothing to worry about. Let's set off now."

Xue Jinghong seldom set foot in the Jingchu area, and he was not very familiar with it, so he could only go down the mountain first, and asked Zou Chun to send someone to follow him to inquire about the inns and houses.

I don't know whether it's luck or misfortune. During the war, many families were broken up and people died. There are many abandoned and idle houses in the town, and the bids are extremely low.

Xue Jinghong considered that Mu Chongyu's identity needed to be kept secret, and Chongyu was such an eye-catching figure, so instead of choosing an inn, he bought a good residential house.After a good arrangement and cleaning, Mu Chongyu was brought in.

Looking at this posture, Zou Chun couldn't help sighing inwardly: "Your Majesty, don't you plan to return to court with the last general?" He looked for a gap and asked Xue Jinghong quietly.

Previously, their Majesty proposed to send Mu Sheren off, but in the end, no one was seen after three days of sending them off.He was worried in his heart and asked people to go to Heiyun Mountain to look for it, but even though they found him, it was useless.The Holy Majesty refused to come back with them.They had no choice but to temporarily station at the foot of Heiyun Mountain to protect the holy driver.

Xue Jinghong said with no expression on his face: "You don't need to worry about me, I will go back after the matter here is finished. You have your own mission, just go back to the court first. Also, if you dare to talk about this matter halfway A word, be careful that you are on top of black yarn!"

The "task" that Xue Jinghong said was to ask Zou Chun to go back and thoroughly investigate the severe drought in Jiangdong that year.Although he had been vaguely aware of the weirdness in it since his rebirth, he didn't know how much he had been deceived until that day when he heard the truth from Mu Chongyu's own mouth.

He issued an order to the Ministry of Households to open warehouses to release grain and help the victims, but in the end "in exchange" the families of the people in Nanyan were ruined and starved for thousands of miles. For Kou.

No matter how many officials are involved in it, colluding with each other to deceive himself, one thing is certain.That is the top of the chain - Hubu Shangshu Li Zhizao is the instigator of everything.

Without the instigation and protection of his illustrious power, who would dare to commit such a heinous crime?

"After you return to Beijing, you can find the scholars who are good at your work, and tell them all about what you found in Yingtou Village and what you learned in Xu Lihui's army, including how Xu Lihui expropriated money and food to bribe the Ministry of Households. List the crimes and write a memorial to impeach Li Zhizao. If necessary, you can arrest all officials of the household department. I will give you this power. When you find out, I will return to Beijing and personally deal with these villains. "

Zou Chun hurriedly agreed.He took Xue Jinghong's personal order, and led his soldiers back to the court.

So far, Shen Qing, Chen Kangsi and the others have completely believed in Xue Jinghong's sincerity in saving lives.It's just that Mu Chongyu's illness still hasn't improved at all.

The medicinal materials have been bought from the best available in Jingchu area, and they have been boiled and fed to Mu Chongyu, but although they are effective for a while, at night, they burn again.

Xue Jinghong sat beside Mu Chongyu's bed, gently grasping Mu Chongyu's hot palm, feeling anxious.

There are three fires burning in the house at this time, all using the best silver charcoal, making the whole house as warm as spring.A thick quilt was also spread on the bed, tightly covering Mu Chongyu's body, but the man still felt cold and shivered slightly from time to time.

What should he do?If possible, Xue Jinghong would like to take all the pain on Mu Chongyu's body and suffer in the cold for him.

After a night passed, the dawn light finally lifted the dark sky, revealing the morning glow of the sky.

When Shen Qing opened the room to deliver medicine to Mu Chongyu, what he saw was such a scene.Xue Jinghong sat on the edge of the bed, hugged Mu Chongyu tightly into his arms, placed Mu Chongyu's pale and flushed cheeks between his necks, and the two of them were still wrapped in thick quilts.

In the quiet room, Mu Chongyu's rapid breathing could be heard due to heart and lung damage, but Xue Jinghong lowered his head slightly, looking at Mu Chongyu with his eyes closed, his chin was very close to their Majesty.

He seems to have maintained this movement for a long time, his body motionless, like a clay statue.

Shen Qing was stunned for a moment, feeling a strange atmosphere flowing between the two of them, but when he looked at Xue Jinghong's expression carefully, he had nothing to say.

That expression of worry and fear buried in his heart was even worse than his own.

Shen Qingqing coughed twice, breaking the silence in the room.

Xue Jinghong turned his head, only then noticed that someone came in at some point.

Shen Qing looked at Xue Jinghong's red eyes, feeling a little complicated: "General Hong has been on guard all night?" He walked over and handed the medicine bowl in his hand to Xue Jinghong's hand naturally, and he was a little surprised after finishing.

He coughed again in embarrassment, his eyes shifted to Mu Chongyu's face, Fang worriedly said: "Is the third master getting better?"

"It's better, I stopped shivering in the second half of the night." After a sleepless night, Xue Jinghong opened his mouth and felt that his throat was extremely dry, but he didn't care about it, he just straightened the posture of the two of them, and carefully fed Mu Chongyu's clothes Prescribe the medicine: "If General Shen is free, you might as well get some warm water. Thank you."

When the high fever occurs, it is not good to cover it all the way.Mu Chongyu was warmed by his body temperature all night, and finally he stopped trembling, but a thin layer of sweat oozed from his forehead, which showed that he should use warm water to dissipate the heat.

Shen Qing responded, and hurriedly went to the kitchen to boil water, and brought the water over after half a stick of incense time.

Xue Jinghong thanked him, tested the temperature of the water, and Fang got up to gently lay Mu Chongyu on the bed.

"General Shen, the third master is sweating all over his body now. It's not good if he doesn't dissipate the internal heat. Therefore, I will use this warm water to wipe the third master's body. If you believe me, please allow me to do it, and the general can leave on his own." go."

Shen Qing came to her senses, looked at Xue Jinghong's expression, and saw that there was no disrespect in his eyes, only the same worry as him, so she completely let go of him.

Although he couldn't understand why this person was more worried about His Majesty's safety than himself.But he could tell from his expression that this person would never hurt Mu Chongyu one iota.On the contrary, his concern for Mu Chongyu was more sincere and profound than any of them.

Shen Qing silently nodded, and exited the door.In the room, only Xue Jinghong and Mu Chongyu were left.

Xue Jinghong secretly heaved a sigh of relief.He picked up the towel next to the basin, soaked it in the water and wrung it dry, and returned to the bed.

Mu Chongyu was still sleeping peacefully, with his nostrils fluttering slightly, and his long and slender eyelashes fluctuating with the movement of breathing, which made people's heart tremble.

Xue Jinghong closed his eyes and exhaled a foul breath.Although he hugged Mu Chongyu all night yesterday, he was so concerned about Mu Chongyu's well-being that he had no time to care about anything else.But now maybe the high fever of the person on the bed subsided a little bit, and he felt a little relieved, and he couldn't help but feel...

Xue Jinghong cursed himself secretly, stroked Mu Chongyu's smooth forehead with slightly trembling hands, brushed away his sweat-soaked hair, and wiped it carefully with a towel bit by bit.

Then there are the cheeks dyed with a charming blush, the high and straight bridge of the nose, and the lips that are slightly parted and closed, with rapid steam coming out of each breath.

Xue Jinghong felt as if his palm was about to be scalded by the scorching breath, making him so stiff that he couldn't move, he could only freeze there in embarrassment.

He has never been so close to Mu Chongyu, so close that as long as he gently lowers his palm, he can touch those two soft and moving thin lips, press and caress them, and linger endlessly.

What a crazy taste in the world that should be!

Xue Jinghong stood up abruptly, his temples were slightly bruised, and a layer of cold sweat emerged from his palms.The towel slipped from his hand at some point and fell on the side of the bed.

How could he take advantage of others like this? !

A deep shame and regret appeared on Xue Jinghong's face.Smoke-like past events emerged one by one from the depths of his memory.

Chongyu is a character like Cangzhu, who would rather bend than bend.If he did that, it would be an insult to Chongyu.

Xue Jinghong stood by the bed and calmed down for a long time, then picked up the dropped towel, turned around and washed it again in the sink, and turned back.

When he was a child, he remembered that he had a fever that persisted for a long time. At that time, a maid dipped a towel in cold water to wipe his palms, soles of feet, armpits and back, so as to dissipate heat faster.

In this way, I have to... Xue Jinghong's throat rolled slightly, and his eyes fell on Mu Chongyu's collar.Under the collar of the dark stone blue bamboo pattern is Mu Chongyu's neck as white as jade.

Xue Jinghong's eyes darkened, he clenched his fists, closed his eyes, and came to undress Mu Chongyu and wipe his body.

Shen Qing couldn't help being surprised when he saw Xue Jinghong again.

His Majesty was lying on the bed, looking much better than yesterday, the blush on his face finally faded, revealing the original fairness of his skin.The brow finally relaxed a little bit, not as painful as before.

This surprised Shen Qing greatly.But looking at Xue Jinghong again, he was stunned.

The two seemed to be reversed. Xue Jinghong, who was guarding the bedside, was sweating profusely. Although he couldn't see his face because of the mask, the suspicious crimson spread from the ears to the neck, which was really eye-catching.

Shen Qing walked over, looked at him twice, then looked at Mu Chongyu, and said comfortingly: "The third master looks much better."

Xue Jinghong hummed lightly, and his voice was full of joy as if he had found something lost. This kind of emotion even made him forget his pretense, and revealed a trace of tenderness: "I haven't had a fever all day."

After Shen Qing left, he wiped Mu Chongyu's body three times back and forth. Although to him, each time was comparable to a physical and mental torture, fortunately, it had an effect.

Chongyu finally seemed to feel better.

Shen Qing felt even weirder. After thinking about it, he still couldn't help asking: "General Hong is sweating profusely. Is there any serious health problem? Could it be that he was infected? If that's the case, we'd feel guilty, so please hurry up. Let's take a look, sir."

Xue Jinghong's face hidden under the mask went dark for a moment, but his voice immediately returned to calm and hoarse, with no trace of cover-up: "It's okay. Maybe the fire in this room is too hot, so it's a little hot."

"Please, General Shen, guard the third master here, let me take a shower and change my clothes before I come back." He said without any abnormality, stood up and opened the door and went out.
