Your Majesty, come back

Just came back, without any effort, not even a trace of pain in the middle.

Because it went so smoothly, it was unavoidable to feel that it was unreal. It was not until the imperial doctors excitedly pinched the acupuncture points on his body that Chu Xiao completely woke up from the residual dream.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty... Can you hear my minister's voice?" The hand that pinched the acupuncture point was trembling, and the imperial doctor was startled and terrified.

There seemed to be something hard blocking Chu Xiao's throat, probably because he had been in a coma for many days. He couldn't speak immediately, so he slowly blinked at the people beside the bed.

The imperial doctors climbed back from the life-and-death line, all of them breathed a sigh of relief, all of them were overwhelmed with excitement, and all the maids and eunuchs in the palace also knelt down on the ground in unison, shouting long live and long life, and the gods protect them .

Because he woke up, these people don't need to be punished, their lives are saved, and they can even be rewarded.

That's why they are so respectful and ecstatic.

If it was before, Chu Xiao might not have any other feelings, as long as people in the world respect him and fear him, this is actually the highest honor for a man.

Not being sincere doesn't actually make him feel very disappointed.

"How long have I been asleep?"

After drinking the decoction, which relieved the dry pain in his throat, Chu Xiao asked the eunuch who was attentively serving him.

"Back to the emperor, eight days have passed since the day in the imperial study." A Wu, the chief eunuch, replied softly, and then continued to wipe Chu Xiao's body.

Chu Xiao glanced outside, "Don't King Yue know about my waking up?"

A Wu was taken aback, and then replied: "Someone in the palace has already notified, and King Yue will probably arrive soon."

With a lift of his thin lips, Chu Xiao snorted.

Awu has a keen mind, "It takes a stick of incense to get to the palace from Yuewang's mansion if you ride a horse, but it will take longer if you take a sedan chair."

Awu saw that the Holy Master had serious eyebrows, and there was no other emotion on his pale and stern face, neither happy nor sad, so he didn't dare to make more guesses.

"Your majesty... the left and right prime ministers are waiting outside, and now you..."

Chu Xiao didn't summon his confidant minister first, he thought that Chu Yue would appear here immediately, and then watched him wake up with excited red eyes.

Or rather, he himself hoped so.

But the young man has never come, and that's all the time he can spare, it's not that he doesn't have the patience now.

"Let them come in first."

Chu Xiao was wearing a fox fur robe, half leaning on the head of the bed, watching the confidant ministers file in, the serious expressions on the faces of the ministers quickly diluted the little unhappiness in his heart.

"During this period of my illness, I have worked hard for you." There must be some people in the court who want to take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble, but there are also many who are willing to remain loyal. He feels very relieved: "If you have any thoughts next, let me know. Hmm... Yixiu, you go first."

"I feel that Your Majesty might as well use this opportunity to come...to lure you into the urn."

Although he just woke up, Chu Xiao didn't show any fatigue or weakness. Instead, he became energized because of Zuo Xiang's words, with a smile on his brows, "Then who do you want to invite in, huh?"

They are all brothers who have worked hard together, and there is not too much red tape in their words, and the left minister also smiled, "It depends on how well the Holy Majesty cooperates."

"Your Majesty, you must never try alchemy again."

Chu Xiao took a long breath, he had already enjoyed the consequences of going his own way.

"I won't." He promised himself.

He had been so arrogant in his previous life that he had forgotten that God was the real boss, he would die if he wanted him to die, and he could go wherever he wanted his soul to float, and he had no right to speak at critical moments.

Aging is just a reminder to him that he should still be humble.

While discussing with several ministers what to do next, there was a noisy sound at the entrance of the main hall, as if someone wanted to break in but was stopped, Chu Xiao made a gesture, and the courtiers fell silent.

The guards followed Chu Yue, they had nothing to do with the intruder, they could only kneel down and apologize.

Chu Xiao's heart felt like it was swollen all of a sudden, a little loose.

Chu Xiao also tilted his head to look at the past, his eyes passed over those ministers, and he accurately landed on Chu Yue's tall and straight figure. There, a little silly.

After being mute for a few days, when the young man appeared, Chu Xiao got used to not making a sound, waiting for the other party to speak.

But the ministers couldn't bear the silent silence, and they blamed: "His Royal Highness, the emperor didn't bother you, it's too unseemly for you to barge in like this."

The young man's feet seemed to take a slight step forward, and the long sleeves moved slightly.

Chu Xiao coughed, and said wearily, "Okay, you all step back first, and King Yue will stay."

The idea that he is loved has not yet been confirmed, and it is just his guess at the moment. First of all, the identity relationship between the two is there, and secondly, he really can't figure out, what is it about him that is worth being so obsessed with young people.

This is different from the battlefield, as long as it is the enemy, everything will be easy, at least the other party's intentions are clear, he just needs to concentrate on defeating the enemy and decide the outcome.

Chu Yue bent down and looked at Chu Xiao at the same level. His face was haggard and his eyes were moist.

Chu Xiao held his breath, he had to wait for the other party to speak before giving up.

"Brother Huang." The young man half-kneeled beside the bed, his voice hoarse: "Brother Huang, you have been asleep for eight days."

"What, are you impatient?"

The tone was indistinguishable from usual, not necessarily gentle. Chu Xiao looked at the young man who was still kneeling. He actually knew that the young man was not what he had guessed, but he didn't know what face to use to deal with it. The tenderness of youth.

"Don't keep kneeling, did I tell you to kneel? Get up."

Chu Yue's eyelashes trembled, but he still stood up obediently, his back straightened, and Chu Xiao was annoyed. He didn't want to order the young man, it's just that habits die hard.

But he also understands that he should at least try to change

So he tried to make up: "It's cold on the ground, sit here."

His fingers tapped on the edge of the bed, and the young man sat down where Chu Xiao was pointing, with surprise and anxiety on his blushing face, and then moved in again while his eyes were closed.

Chu Xiao half closed his eyes, pretending he didn't see the young man's little movements.

In fact, people are like this. When they are dissatisfied and suspicious of a person, everything that person does is wrong and has ulterior motives.

But once you are pleasing to the eye, you will feel that everything is very suitable for you.

Aside from his strange guess, he wanted to keep his brother who was so obedient that his heart softened.

"I heard from Prime Minister Zuo that you were assassinated a few days ago, right?"

Chu Xiao felt that the young man was holding back something, trying hard to hide his mood swings, but Chu Xiao was already tired of watching the young man's steady and flat-eyed in the court hall, such people were everywhere in the palace, what he wanted Not this expression.

Chu Yue lowered his head too fast, and he could see haste: "Well, yes, those two assassins have been subdued, and my brother sent them to the Ministry of Punishment."

"Where are you injured?"

There are light shadows on the drooping face, a high and beautiful nose bridge, and there is no way to pick out any faults. The face is pleasing to the eye no matter what angle it is looked at, no matter what expression it is.

"It's... not bad." The young man hesitated, and his face seemed to turn red.

Chu Xiao frowned. He worked so hard to keep Chu Yue at that time, and he was clearly unscathed. He hesitated and said in displeasure, "What is it? If you are injured, you are injured. If you are not injured, you are not injured. The two assassins You can break into Yue Wang's mansion, why do you still have so many trash in your mansion?"

"My brother is guilty."

"I didn't blame you for what you knew."

He obviously protected the young man with his life, but no matter how much this matter is mentioned now, the other party will not know that Chu Xiao hates such a muddled unknown hero the most.

He is the only one who has a sense of the muddled bad debts that he can't show on the table.

"Brother Huang."

Hearing this address, Chu Xiao felt that the third brother sounded comforting and heartwarming no matter how he heard it, and he lazily replied: "Say what you have to say, don't hesitate."

Chu Yue laughed silently, the corners of his mouth and brows curved, "It's good that you woke up."

"Where is it good? What do you say is good?"

Chu Xiao made things difficult on purpose. It was very interesting to see the young man in a difficult situation, but now the situation is different from before. It is absolutely unacceptable to bully him severely, but it is definitely harmless to tease him.

He also wanted to confirm whether his guess was true or false.

The indifferent tone made the young man's originally smiling face suddenly die, and with a plop, he knelt down again with a heavy expression.

"My brother made a slip of the tongue, and the emperor forgives me."

Chu Xiao was a little annoyed by such a gesture of pleading guilty at every turn. The emperor had been doing it for a long time, and there was a condescending domineering in his bones.

"Don't kneel here and there, I haven't returned home yet."

"I told you to sit here and sit here, isn't it a big show, and I still need to invite you?"

Chu Yue's rigidity made him angry, what did you call a cowardly guy when he was in Yue Wang's mansion?If you have the guts to call him third brother, how come you are reduced to "brother emperor" here?

Those sweet words that make one's heart soft, dare to say them to a male favorite who looks like her, why don't you dare to say a few words in person?

Chu Xiao suddenly felt tired and weak. People who just woke up should rest quietly. He started to work as soon as he woke up. He didn't stop for a moment. He didn't feel tired when facing the courtiers. I was so tired that I wanted to stretch and sleep again.

"Ayue, come here, I have something to tell you."

Naturally, he looked weak, and he tried his best to look at Chu Yue with weak eyes, and sure enough, he saw the young man's eyes tremble, and his face tightened.

If he could often see Chu Yue's heartbroken expression, he wouldn't mind being subdued once in a while.

Chu Yue sat back on the bed again, and at such a close distance, the young man's voice seemed gentle and clear: "Brother Huang, what's the matter? Are you feeling unwell again?"

Caught off guard, he pressed his hand on the young man's right hand. Seeing the change in Chu Yue's expression, Chu Xiao felt relieved. It was actually more effective than the medicine brought by the imperial physician just now.

"Thank you for your hard work these days."

Chu Yue replied sincerely: "It's a matter of my younger brother's duty."

Well, this sounds good, and it is indeed a matter of duty.

Then Chu Xiao became even more amiable: "I have died once this time, and I have figured out a lot of things. When I fainted, guess what I saw?"

Chu Yue's gaze flew wildly, from Chu Xiao's hand to his own, and he shook his head, "I don't know."

"The old people say that before death, people will see the sins they have committed all their lives." Lying on a pile of soft pillows, with his head raised slightly, Chu Xiao said slowly, "I saw the former Lord's Mansion."

Chu Yue raised his head abruptly, as if he was about to say something, but he probably couldn't figure out the holy meaning. He lowered his head and fell silent again. Chu Xiao waited for a long time but no one answered, so he could only continue by himself: "Ayue, my side There are not many people left."

As if infected, the young man also became depressed: "Brother Huang, don't think about it, you have a prince by your side, and there are many people who will accompany you."

The flesh and blood covered by his palms were hot, but the young man's face remained calm and rational. The sadness he deliberately created was not enough to break the mask on the young man's face.

"If... if the imperial brother doesn't dislike the younger brother, the younger brother will always be with the younger brother."

Chu Xiao raised his eyebrows and listened quietly.

The young man bowed his waist, as if piously worshiping: "As long as Brother Huang doesn't dislike Ayue."

Since a few days ago, Chu Xiao had the urge to pinch the young man, but due to the circumstances at the time, he could not do whatever he wanted, now he can pinch the side of Chu Yue's face with his hands at will.

There was a ruthless desire to bully the other party in his heart, and he couldn't control his strength for a while and turned red. Chu Yue still buried his head and didn't say a word.

Chu Xiao looked at the red mark, and rubbed it slowly with his hands a few times, as if facing a favorite pet, he would stroke the fur slowly after being bullied, wishing to make the other party helpless.

There was only a little red mark, but it was spreading like ink stains. Chu Xiao saw his fingers were as thin as bones, and they still smelled of decay.

And the other party is still so energetic, full of flesh and blood, and clear-eyed.

Feeling sad for some reason, Chu Xiao put his retracted hand under the quilt.

"I don't despise you."

Even if he rots to the bone, it's only because he despises others. He is... absolutely impossible to be ashamed of himself.
