Lock Xin

The rice paper was scattered on the table, the scrolls were placed at a slant and randomly opened, a little messy, and the brush was left standing aside, soaked with ink.

Gai Xiong sat at the table, his brows were extremely serious, his handsome face seemed to be covered with a thin layer of ice, and his rosy lips were tightly closed.The slender knuckles held the thin pages of the book with a little strength. He raised his hand to pick up the book on the side, opened two pages, looked at the small words scrawled on it, and felt a little anger in his heart.

Gai Xiong pushed his arm away forcefully, the high stacked scrolls were scattered all over the floor, and the writing brush slipped and left a long ink stain on the ground.Gai Xiong calmed down the irritability in his heart slowly, leaned over to pick up the book in front of him and continued to read, he picked up a brush and wrote down a few large characters flying like dragons and phoenixes, the handwriting was clear but extremely difficult to read.

Gai Xiong crossed his arms and looked at the small hill on the ground. He didn't know how the master usually had patience. He just couldn't bear it after watching it for two days. He really didn't know what the ministers were doing on weekdays. If there is nothing to do, write it down in the thin book and submit it.

Gai Xiong's complexion was a little slow, he just lowered his head, a bright spot of light landed on the paper, following his line of sight moving slowly, it was extremely dazzling.Gai Xiong frowned slightly, and moved a little to the side, but a small spot of light was still reflected in front of him, flickering, he put the brush in his hand on the table vigorously, and looked up to find the source of the trouble.

A light blue figure stood beside the bookshelf, a large swath of sunlight fell on his fair side face, his delicate face became more and more radiant, and there was a hint of delicacy between his eyebrows and eyes.Wang Mo raised his arm and gently wiped the dust on the scroll. The white veil was a little dim, and his sleeves slipped down, revealing his slender and tender arms, vaguely stained with a trace of dust.

"Who asked you to wipe the bookshelf?" Gai Xiong watched the light spot move slowly with Wang Mo's arm, with a bit of displeasure on his face.Although he let Wang Mo stay in his mansion, he never let Wang Mo serve him personally.

"I'm a little bored when I'm idle all day long. When I saw some dust on the bookshelf, I wanted to tidy it up, and it looked cleaner." Wang Mo was choked by the dust and couldn't help covering his sleeves and coughing a few times. The maids stayed in Gaixiong's study Just standing idly, never wiping the volumes on the bookshelf.

"Okay, you go back, you don't need to do these things." Gai Xiong waved his hand. He had good intentions in keeping Wang Mo in the mansion, but Wang Mo never understood his thoughts. Why did he bring Wang Mo back from the palace when Wang Mo was doing these chores.

"But." Wang Mo opened his mouth, he had almost finished wiping, and it was not a short while away.

"There are so many attendants in my mansion, it's not your turn to worry about it." Gai Xiong felt a little annoyed, and his voice couldn't help being colder.

"Okay." Wang Mo put down the handkerchief in his hand, turned around and walked to the door, he seemed to have remembered something, and suddenly looked at Gai Xiong's face. "Can I go to the palace tomorrow?"

Gai Xiong looked at the scroll in his hand seriously, nodded slightly, and picked up a brush to draw a long line.

Wang Mo's face was brimming with joy. He hadn't entered the palace for many days, and he didn't know if His Highness missed him. The last time he entered the palace and saw His Highness's smiling face, he was relieved a lot.

"When I go out of the palace, I will pass by the market outside the imperial city. What do you want me to bring back?" Wang Mo still thought about the butterfly cakes he ate that day. They were so crispy and sweet, but he went too late. was sold out.

"This is your freedom, you don't need to ask me." Gai Xiong held the brush with force, and the handwriting was heavily crooked, covering the small characters embroidered by Juan.

Seeing the anger in Gai Xiong's eyes, Wang Mo lowered his head lonely, "I'll go down first, and I won't disturb you to deal with business."

Gai Xiong raised his head slightly and saw Wang Mo's figure again, he threw the scroll in his hand on the ground heavily, "Why haven't you left yet, if you are really idle and bored, go to the yard to sweep the floor, don't stay in the study I."

"The scroll fell on the floor." Wang Mo bent over and picked up the scroll on the ground, and placed it neatly by the table.He stood up and looked at the stretched veins on Gai Xiong's forehead, swallowed the words, with a hint of hurt in his eyes.

"I'm leaving now." Wang Mo turned and walked towards the door, closing the door with his hand.

Seeing the gloomy look on Wang Mo's face, Gai Xiong seemed to want to catch up, but he still didn't take that step.Gai Xiong crumbled the ink-stained rice paper, what happened to him recently, his mood became more and more irritable, and he would get angry for any trivial matter, or it was because he stayed up for several nights without sleep to sort out the books.Gai Xiong sighed slightly, he really hoped that the Lord's body would recover soon, otherwise when would his hard work come to an end.

Looking at the closed door, Gai Xiong was a little distracted. Wang Mo must have been very sad just now. He has never been so angry since he brought Wang Mo into the mansion.Perhaps Wang Mo would want to go back to the palace when he was disappointed, but Gai Xiong was reluctant to part with Wang Mo for many days, or what he was reluctant to part with was the disappearing back, but he was already a little bit divided. I don't know.

Gai Xiong poured a cup of herbal tea and drank it down. At this moment, he really couldn't save face and went to apologize to Wang Mo in person, that's all, let's talk about it lightly, maybe Wang Mo's heart is not as he thought That narrow, will not take this matter to heart.

Gai Xiong slowly regained his senses, he looked up at the sky outside the window, he really didn't expect him to think about such a trivial matter for so long, it's not like his style as a general at all.

Gai Xiong raised his hand and hugged the pile of books in front of him. If he didn't work harder, maybe he wouldn't be able to sleep soundly tonight.Unexpectedly, his arm couldn't exert any strength at all, it seemed as if it was filled with lead, it was extremely heavy, a dense layer of sweat gushed out from his forehead, Gai Xiong looked at his hands in surprise, he clenched his fist slightly, and there was nothing in his body There is a trace of inner strength remaining.

Looking at the teacup in front of him, Gai Xiong frowned, and he coldly glanced at the two maids standing by the door, thinking a little messy in his mind.

"Go and call Wang Mo over here." Gai Xiong looked at the scroll in his hand very calmly, as if nothing had happened.However, his eyes were no longer on the small words on the paper, and there was a little cold sweat on his clenched fists. He didn't expect that there were traitors in his house, and they even put Sangong medicine into his teacup. He didn't know what they wanted What to do, or to find out the secrets of the mansion.But the only person he can trust now is Wang Mo.

Gai Xiong looked at the slightly closed door with anxiety in his eyes, hoping that Wang Mo would not let him down.

Wang Mo lowered his head slightly, and walked slowly into the depths of the corridor, Gai Xiong's angry face still could not be erased from his mind.He didn't know what he did wrong just now to make Gai Xiong so angry, or Gai Xiong didn't like him entering the study at all, so he just didn't want to step in from now on.

Wang Mo stopped and looked at the slightly swaying branches and leaves in the distance, with a trace of sadness remaining on his face.He seemed to hear a call behind him, and slowly turned around to see a little maid carrying a tray.

"Are you calling me?" Seeing that the maid's face was a little strange, Wang Mo couldn't help thinking that he had heard it wrong.

"Yes," the maid smiled slightly, "The general asked me to give you this plate of pastries, and then I'll tell you that just now he was a little irritable and his words were harsh, I hope you don't take it to heart."

Wang Mo looked at the delicate cakes on the plate, the sadness between his brows and eyes gradually faded away, and when Gai Xiong was busy with affairs all day, he would inevitably feel a little irritable, if he kept it in his heart, it would seem a bit too stingy.And he just now knew that Gai Xiong had a lot of work recently, so it was really wrong to stay in the study and disturb him.

"Eat the pastries while they are hot. If they get cold, the taste will change." The maid looked at Wang Mo who was slightly stupefied and reminded.

Wang Mo picked up a piece of warm pastry and put it into his mouth. After biting into pieces, the liquid slowly overflowed, and his mouth was filled with a thick milk fragrance.The corners of Wang Mo's lips curled up slightly, it turned out that it was the pastry that Gai Xiong bought that night, he liked it very much at the time, but he forgot it as time passed, unexpectedly Gai Xiong still remembered it in his heart.

"Use it slowly, I'll go back first." The maid turned around with a sly smile on her face.

Wang Mo took the plate, sat on the side of the corridor, and ate slowly, as if the sweetness in his mouth spread to his heart.

The little maid in the corridor hurriedly ran, panting slightly, she saw Wang Mo's figure from a distance, and hurriedly called, "Wang Mo, the general is calling you over."

"Okay." Wang Mo put down the plate, only to realize that he had already eaten most of it. He got up and walked to the study, as if he had completely forgotten the displeasure just now.

A gust of wind blew by, and Wang Mo seemed to feel his body getting hotter and hotter, as if a fire was burning in his chest and lungs. He mistakenly thought that he was walking too fast, so he didn't pay much attention to it, so he stretched out his hand and opened the door.

"Come here and get closer to me." Seeing Wang Mo's figure, Gai Xiong slowly relaxed, and he stretched out his hand to signal Wang Mo to come to him.

Wang Mo couldn't bear the heat of his skin even more. The breeze by the window could relieve it a little, but it was insignificant at all. He tore off his collar forcefully, revealing a large area of ​​smooth skin.

"Why is your face so red?" Gai Xiong looked at Wang Mo's flushed cheeks from a close distance, and even thought he had a fever, so he couldn't help raising his hand to caress his forehead.

Wang Mo felt that the coolness was very comfortable, but the coolness was fleeting, he seemed to be dissatisfied, he stretched out his hand to hold Gai Xiong's arm, and tried his best to stick it to his chest.

"Have you been hit?" Gai Xiong frowned, he didn't expect someone to drug Wang Mo, what was the thief's intention.

Before Gai Xiong could figure it out, Wang Mo threw him on the bed. He tried his best but couldn't break free from Wang Mo's arm. "Wang Mo, wake up, I'm Gai Xiong." Gai Xiong called out loudly, but Wang Mo's eyes were dazed, as if he had completely lost consciousness.

Gai Xiong reached out and hooked the bed curtain beside him, trying to break free, but before he raised his shoulders, there was a sharp pain in his lower body, and he fell heavily on the bed, biting his lower lip forcefully, looking into Wang Mo's eyes It seemed a little fuzzy, gradually overlapping with the face in his memory.

Gai Xiong embraced Wang Mo's slender waist, and called out in a low voice. "Thank you."
