A Piece of Li Song Changting Twilight

As the weather got colder and colder, Qin Xiaolou, who was not very cold-resistant, also fell ill.

Qin Xiaolou's illness was not serious, just a common cold, but because he persisted in working on official duties while sick, the minor illness could not be healed well.Zhao Pingzhen reminded him several times to put the matter aside and concentrate on recuperating first, but Qin Xiaolou always obeyed the law.

Zhao Pingzhen hated him the most, always felt that he was looking for something to do when he had nothing to do—why not let the people below do it?Doing everything by himself can only show that he is too suspicious and doesn't trust others; or that his eyesight is not enough and he can't see people correctly.

For this reason, Zhao Pingzhen ordered no one to bother Qin Xiaolou with any affairs within three days, and gave him three days to recover from his illness.Zhao Pingzhen didn't do this because he felt sorry for Qin Xiaolou, after all, there was nothing to feel bad about even a small headache.Of course, even if Qin Xiaolou is dying of illness, he doesn't necessarily feel sorry for him, as long as Qin Xiaolou is alive, that's enough.He just hated Qin Xiaolou's stubbornness with him.

Qin Xiaolou is not used to being suddenly free.Since Zhao Pingzhen began to value his talent and intend to cultivate him, he has hardly lived a leisurely life.A force that even he could not explain clearly compelled him to devote all his thoughts to official duties.He also got angry with Qin Chengxue, because he told Qin Chengxue not to wait for him in front of the corridor, but Qin Chengxue didn't listen, so he stayed late on purpose to go home, hoping to waste Qin Chengxue waiting for him. not go down.But he never beat his brother.Suddenly thinking of this layer, he felt that he was really a hateful brother.

Qin Xiaolou woke up for the third consecutive sleep, and it was not time for dinner.He was dizzy from sleep, and was really flustered from idleness, so he ordered someone to send a game of chess, and he played against himself.

In the middle of the chess game, Zhao Pingzhen, who had finished his military affairs, came to visit him, and saw that he was enjoying himself, and his face was not very good-looking: "You really have a lot to do."

Qin Xiaolou was really aggrieved, his nose was still stuffed, and he said in a buzzing voice, "I've been sleeping for a whole day, if I continue to sleep, I'm afraid I'll get bedsores."

Zhao Pingzhen walked up to him and sat down, patted his leg: "Okay, let me play chess with you."

Qin Xiaolou was about to erase the endgame on the chessboard, but Zhao Pingzhen stopped him: "Go ahead."

The two played half a game of chess until the end, and Qin Xiaolou narrowly won.Zhao Pingzhen said pointedly: "In the past, I always beat you by a narrow margin."

Qin Xiaolou yawned, and lazily said: "This game of chess was originally laid out according to my thinking, and Zhenqing took over halfway, which is naturally disadvantageous."

Zhao Pingzhen ticked the corner of his mouth, and said slowly: "Do you really think I can't see that you have been letting me go?"

Qin Xiaolou was stunned, and said modestly: "Your Highness is overthinking."

Zhao Pingzhen stared into his eyes and said, "If you play chess with Han Xu, will you let him?"

Qin Xiaolou was startled fiercely, his expression changed unconsciously.How many years has it been since no one mentioned the name Han Xuzhi in front of him?five years?six years?How many years have you not thought of Han Xuzhi?No matter how long Han Xuzhi left, he didn't think about it.But I don't know why when he heard Zhao Pingzhen's words, his heart still felt as if the river was overwhelmed.Qin Xiaolou does not admit that this is love, but he cannot deny the throbbing in his heart.

In fact, back then, Qin Xiaolou didn't know that Han Xuzhi was lying to him.That person's three sentences were true and one sentence was false, but such a smart person as Qin Xiaolou was willing to be deceived by him, and he secretly hoped that he was too sensitive and that what that person said was the truth.

Qin Xiaolou just didn't understand that Han Xuzhi had longings that he hadn't even discovered himself, and something he lacked, that's why he fell so easily.Until now, the longing in the subconscious has not dissipated, so his heart will still throb for the heartbroken person.

Seeing Qin Xiaolou's rare loss of focus, Zhao Pingzhen frowned secretly, and changed the subject: "What about Gu Xiaojun? Where's your brother? Will you let them?" He acted as if Han Xuzhi, Qin Chengxue and Gu Xiaojun were the same Humanoids have nothing to worry about.

Qin Xiaolou's lips trembled, and he forced a smile: "I have never played chess with them."

At this moment, Qin Xiaolou's attendant came in with the boiled medicine.

Zhao Pingzhen didn't want to discuss the matter with him anymore, so he took the medicine bowl himself and said, "Sit down, I'll feed you."

Qin Xiaolou leaned in his arms and drank the medicine, then lay down again.

Zhao Pingzhen lost interest in playing chess, so he moved the official documents to Qin Xiaolou's tent for review.Qin Xiaolou lay on the bed with nothing to do, staring at Zhao Pingzhen's back in a daze, staring at the candlelight in a daze, and looking at the empty bowl beside the bed after drinking the medicine and thinking about something.

Suddenly, he sat up abruptly and exclaimed, "My God!"

Zhao Pingzhen was taken aback by him, the pen drew a long ink mark on the paper, turned his head in displeasure and asked, "What happened?"

Qin Xiaolou turned over and got out of bed in a hurry, rushed to the cabinet to find things without even putting on his shoes.

Zhao Pingzhen became more and more unhappy: "What are you looking for?"

Qin Xiaolou asked without raising his head: "Cheng Xue's paintings! Where did you put Cheng Xue's paintings?"

Zhao Pingzhen frowned hard, and pointed reluctantly: "There."

Qin Xiaolou found the brocade box in the direction he pointed, unfolded the scroll and took a closer look, his heart suddenly turned cold: "So that's how it is..."

Zhao Pingzhen walked behind him, looked at the painting again, and asked inexplicably, "So what?"

Qin Xiaolou smiled wryly, "Cheng Xue must be sick..."

The corners of Zhao Pingzhen’s mouth twitched, and then he looked at the painting carefully, and he really saw the meaning——the perspective of the painting is that the painter is lying on the bed and looking out; the empty bowl on the bedside is probably a medicine bowl; There is no one, and it looks very deserted and lonely.

Zhao Pingzhen held back for a long time before choking out a sentence: "Maybe you are thinking too much."

Qin Xiaolou shook his head desolately, still smiling wryly: "No."

Zhao Pingzhen said without hesitation, "How are you doing?"

Qin Xiaolou was silent for a moment, then whispered: "I..." Finally shook his head.

This time Zhao Pingzhen was really angry and laughed instead.He felt that if Qin Xiaolou dared to propose to return to Lin'an, it would be so ridiculous that he would not even bother to refuse.He flicked his sleeves and said: "Okay, you can sleep for a while!" After that, he opened the curtain and went out without approving the official document.

Qin Xiaolou lay back on the bed numbly, his mind was blank.

Zhao Pingzhen went out of the camp and stomped around in the field twice, the more he thought about it, the more ridiculous he felt: The two brothers of the Qin family were more faulty than the other!Sending an inexplicable drawing for people to guess is really well done!He suddenly felt that the unpleasant traits of Qin Xiaolou and Qin Chengxue must have been inherited from Qin Wuya, that's why Prime Minister Wang couldn't bear it enough to find someone to kill Qin Wuya.Now he really has the urge to find someone to strangle Qin Chengxue to death!

Qin Xiaolou recovered from his illness after lying in bed for two days, and his mind became much clearer.

He ordered himself not to think about Qin Chengxue anymore, because he felt that Qin Chengxue was probably just being hypocritical, just like he was pretending to be paralyzed back then to win his sympathy.With this in mind, he turned his attention back to the war.

That night, he suddenly remembered something and wanted to discuss it with Wu Yi, so after dinner, he went to Wu Yin's camp alone.

Coincidentally, Wu Yi sneaked out to drink that day, and Wu Yi happened not to be in his camp when Qin Xiaolou went there.Qin Xiaolou had nothing else to do, so he thought that Wu Yi might be inspecting the military situation or going out to pay respects, so he waited in his tent.

There is a small jug on Wu Yi's table, and soldiers in the barracks are expressly forbidden to drink alcohol.Qin Xiaolou thought that Wu Yi forgot to hide the jug, so he put it under the table.

He waited for a while before Wu Yi came back, his eyes swept over, and he saw a cup by the bed, he didn't know what to think for a while, so he took the cup and poured some wine.

Qin Xiaolou is not addicted to alcohol, and he doesn't drink too much. He only drinks alcohol because of something on his mind, but he only tastes it before stopping. After trying the taste, he hides the jug.

After waiting for half a stick of incense, Qin Xiaolou suddenly felt his head sinking heavily, and he felt sleepy.He thought it was because his illness was not fully cured, so he drank some wine to stimulate the illness again.However, after holding on for a while, he was so sleepy that he couldn't hold it any longer. He wanted to go back to his tent to sleep but he couldn't walk anymore, so he stumbled to Wu Yi's bedside, turned over and lay down on it.

The moment his head touched the pillow, he suddenly realized that something seemed wrong, but at this moment, he lost all strength to call people, closed his eyes, and completely lost consciousness.
