When facing the first downside

——The next day——

At dawn, Gu Cenyuan was woken up by Lu Shi's murmuring voice, and he looked at the person in his arms.

Lu Shi's face was flushed abnormally, his eyes were closed tightly, the corners of his mouth were slightly peeled, and he was saying something vaguely.

Gu Cenyuan felt uneasy in his heart, and touched his forehead.

It was indeed a little hot.

Lu Shishao was drowsy, and unconsciously rubbed against Gu Cenyuan's cool hand.

"Ashi?" Gu Cenyuan called him in a low voice.

Lu Shi frowned, opened his eyes slowly, and spoke with a hoarse voice, "Cen Yuan..."

"You have a fever," Gu Cenyuan stroked his hair, "The imperial doctor will come to check your pulse later, please ask me for leave this morning on your behalf, you should rest well."

Lu Shi nodded weakly, and only after he became conscious did he realize that his whole body was burning and sore, and his limbs seemed to be falling apart.

Because of Gu Yunqi, the Tai Hospital has been on standby recently, and all food, drink, clothing and housing are left in the palace.

Gu Cenyuan sent someone to invite the imperial physician, but he didn't say that it was for Lu Shi. The imperial hospital thought that the prince's health was also in trouble, so everyone came except the two imperial physicians who took care of Gu Yunqi.

After arriving at the East Palace, I realized that my intentions were diverted, but I was also relieved.

Several people took turns to check Lu Shi's pulse. After discussing for a while, the leader came out to explain to Gu Cenyuan.

The imperial doctor talked about the medical theory of Qu Qu's teeth for a long time, and the conclusion is that if you think too much, drink some antipyretic medicine, and take care of it within two days.

Gu Cenyuan looked at the imperial physician distrustfully, Lu Shi doesn't remember things, and forgets things when things pass, so can he still think too much?

Frowning and about to refute, the little inner supervisor reminded him that it was time to go to court, Gu Cenyuan said, "Prescribe the anti-fever medicine first, and leave someone here to watch."

After Gu Cenyuan went to court, only Lu Shi and a young imperial physician were left in the dormitory.

When Xiao Xian came, Lu Shi was still in a coma. He stopped the imperial physician from speaking, called him out of the hall, and asked about his condition.

The iron relationship between Marquis Dingdu and Captain Xiao is well known in the capital, and the imperial physician did not dare to hide it, so he revealed everything.

Xiao Xian thanked him and said, "Please wait here for the imperial doctor, I will have a word with Lord Hou."

The imperial doctor was a little embarrassed, "Captain, Lord Hou is unconscious now, I'm afraid he can't hear the words, and Your Highness... let someone watch Lord Hou."

"I'll go in and say a few words before I come out. I'll watch for you and call you if I need anything."

Xiao Xian's face was serious, a little bluffing, the imperial doctor was afraid, and said submissively, "The minister is waiting at the door, if you have something to do, please ask the captain to call for someone in time."

"nature."

When Xiao Xian walked in, Lu Shi's eyes were open. Seeing Xiao Xian approaching, he twitched the corners of his mouth, "Captain Xiao finally remembered that there is still a friend like me?"

Xiao Xian had a sore nose, "It's still poor after all this."

"Hehe." Lu Shi smiled, but choked and coughed.

Xiao Xian hurriedly stepped forward to help him calm down, the little imperial physician yelled at the door frame with sharp ears, "Captain, if you have something to do, you must call your minister in time!"

"understood!"

Xiao Xian yelled back, looked at Lu Shixiao's gloat, and glared at him, "Why didn't you see me for a few days, and you got sick after talking about it, that little imperial doctor said that you were thinking too much, why did you think about yourself? "

Xiao Xian fired a cannon, Lu Shiting's head swelled, but he didn't show it, and said with a joke, "I'm thinking about you, thinking about someone who is ungrateful for sex, and it's hard to find a piece of gold."

"If I'm obsessed with sex, I should stay by Yun Qi's bed right now, and send someone to say hello to you!" Xiao Xian said angrily.

"Yun Qi?" Lu Shi smiled limply, reminiscent of Gu Cenyuan, "You're so affectionate?"

"It's always been called that..." Xiao Xian touched his nose unnaturally, and interrupted, "What about you, don't talk, what's going on?"

Lu Shi suppressed his smile, his face was pale, and when his expression was withdrawn, he looked even more haggard.

Xiao Xian's heart twitched, when did Lu Shaoxia of Wangjiang City have such a depressed expression, "Ashi, what happened?"

"Xianxian," Lu Shi twitched the corners of his mouth, and deliberately used this title to make Xiao Xian jump. Seeing that Xiao Xian didn't respond, he knew that he couldn't be fooled, so he said frankly, "The matter of Prince Yi's residence...you know?"

Xiao Xian nodded, "There is no good person in the Jiang family."

Xiao Xian didn't believe that a young servant was brave enough to frame the current Marquis.

"It's not the Jiang family." Lu Shi sat up, Xiao Xian stepped forward to support him, and stuffed a soft pillow behind his back.

Lu Shi looked calm, and continued, "It's Your Majesty."

Xiao Xian lost his voice in shock, and blurted out, "What?!"

"Last night, I went to the palace to testify before the emperor. Grand Master Wen showed his feet, but His Majesty didn't pursue it, and pushed a dead ghost out."

"... Does Gu Cenyuan know?" Xiao Xian asked after being silent for a while.

Lu Shi closed his eyes, "I don't know."

"I don't know if he knows it, but these two times, he was the one who made the rescue every time. I pretended not to understand, and he didn't want to explain it to me in detail."

"Are you protecting me, or are you acting for me?"

Lu Shi looked at Xiao Xian with confusion, "Can I still trust him?"

"Ashi..." Xiao Xian didn't know that Lu Shi had encountered so much recently, and felt ashamed.

"It's not your fault," Lu Shi comforted him, "I'm always bored in my heart."

After chatting for a long time, Lu Shi's eyes were blurred, and he said to Xiao Xian, "I'll lie down for a while, you can go back to Jingyang Palace first."

Xiao Xian hesitated, the more Lu Shiyue was like this, the less he wanted to leave.

"Go," Lu Shi chased him away, "I'm here to watch me sleep, just let the imperial doctor come in."

"Lieutenant Xiao, chatting for too long is not conducive to the recovery of Lord Hou's condition!"

The voice of the little imperial doctor at the door sounded at the right time, Xiao Xian frowned, and told him, "Don't hold back if you have something to do in the future, you must tell me."

Lu Shi nodded vigorously, and slowly closed his eyes under Xiao Xian's gaze.

Xiao Xian tucked up the quilt for him, and went out worried.

Passing by the door, he asked the little imperial doctor worriedly, "If there is something wrong with Lord Hou, please go to Jingyang Palace and tell me immediately."

The little imperial doctor nodded.

Filled with worry, Xiao Xian walked into Jingyang Palace with heavy steps.

The palace was still as quiet as ever, and smelling the tranquilizing fragrance from the main hall, Xiao Xian settled down, patted his face, put on a good expression, and was about to knock on the door.

"...Father means to find a crime and directly lock him up, forcing Lu Baiyang to voluntarily step down as the leader of the alliance and disband the martial arts."

"This is not good," Gu Yunqi in the hall coughed, "If you do this, you and Master Hou really have no chance."

Xiao Xian withdrew his hand, he held his breath, leaned against the door and listened.

"Father doesn't like me and A Shi..." Gu Cenyuan's voice was deep, "I don't expect to let go easily."

"I'll go talk to him." Gu Yunqi said calmly.

"Take care of your body and don't worry about it," Gu Cenyuan's voice was a little irritated, "Let me think about it... There is still a day left, there will always be a way to get the best of both worlds, there will always be..."

"Oh," Gu Yunqi laughed at himself, "A way to achieve both? The emperor is forcing you to tell Lu Shi yourself that you took him back to the capital just to put him in prison, remove his father's identity, and take away his father's identity." Where does the family's secret recipe get the best of both worlds?"

What was still being said in the hall, Xiao Xian couldn't listen anymore, he only had one thought in his mind.

Go find Lu Shi!

Let him escape from Kyoto!

He tightly covered his mouth to prevent himself from screaming, his eyes were red, he staggered and turned around, but met Yun Lie face to face.

"Captain Xiao?" Yun Lie came from one end of the corridor with a medicine bowl in his hand, seeing Xiao Xian's strange expression, he asked aloud.

Xiao Xian secretly thought it was bad, and before he had time to think of a reason, Gu Yunqi's urgent voice came from the hall, "Yun Lie, catch him!"

Although he didn't know the reason, Yun Lie immediately dropped the tray in his hand, rushed straight to Xiao Xian, and at the same time blew the whistle for the gathering of the hidden guards.

Xiao Xian wiped his face vigorously, took a deep breath, and pulled out the knife at his side.

He said bitterly in his heart, always saying that he forgets righteousness when he sees sex, but now he can see clearly that he has lost color, and he is desperate for righteousness.

Xiao Xian is used to wielding a huge axe, and the sword is danced like a tiger, so it is easy to get close to him.

Gu Yunqi helped Gu Cenyuan walk to the entrance of the hall, and ordered, "Take him as a slave!"

Xiao Xian subconsciously protected his lower body, but Yun Lie strangled him from behind. The hidden guards had a tacit understanding, stepped forward to clamp his arms, and pressed him to the ground.

Gu Yunqi moved a little faster, his throat itched, and he couldn't help coughing twice, blood spread between his lips.

Xiao Xian felt a pain in his heart, and turned his head away from looking at him.

"Master Hou is not feeling well, Brother Huang, let's go back and take care of him first." Gu Yunqi let go of Gu Cenyuan's hand, Yun Lie changed positions with the hidden guard standing beside him, and walked over to support Gu Yunqi.

Gu Yunqi's eyes were as cold as the night, "For Lieutenant Xiao, I'll be aggrieved in the near future and stay in Jingyang Palace first."

On weekdays, Xiao Xian was delighted to go to heaven, but right now his internal organs were overwhelmed by various emotions, and he trembled in pain.

Looking at the two Dahui princes standing in front of him, Xiao Xian said with contempt, "You can't trap me, I will tell Ah Shi that you are such...animals with evil intentions!"

The big animal Gu Cenyuan's face sank like water, he glanced at Xiao Xian, and walked out of Jingyang Palace.

The little bastard Gu Yunqi showed no expression, he said to Yun Lie on the side: "Shut up in the side hall," paused, and added, "Tie it tight."

After Gu Yunqi finished drinking the medicine, he went to the side hall to see Xiao Xian.

Yun Lie carried out the order very thoroughly. Xiao Xian was tied to the bed, his limbs were tied tightly to the four bedposts with ropes, and a cotton cloth was stuffed in his mouth.

Seeing Gu Yunqi coming in, Xiao Xian struggled violently, with a sobbing sound coming out of his throat.

Gu Yunqi approached, sat on the edge of the bed, looked at Xiao Xian coldly, "Did you hear everything?"

"Woooooo!!!" Xiao Xian's eyes stared like copper bells.

"Huh—" Gu Yunqi let out a long breath, and he suddenly approached Xiao Xian.

It was very close, nose to nose, Xiao Xian could easily kiss him as long as he pouted.

Gu Yunqi didn't wear a ribbon, such a look of Wang Bilan almost killed Xiao Xian, he froze, held his breath, and looked at Gu Yunqi without blinking.

"Don't you like me?" Gu Yunqi opened his mouth, his breath sprayed on Xiao Xian's lips, it was cold, he pulled the cotton cloth from Xiao Xian's mouth, "Isn't it good to stay with me in Jingyang Palace?"

The word "good" was already in his throat, Xiao Xian thought of Lu Shi's sick face, pursed his lips, and shook his head firmly.

Xiao Xian in Gu Yunqi's vision was just a color blob, Xiao Xian's movements were too subtle for him to see clearly, and he couldn't wait for the answer. He thought about Xiao Xian's appearance in his memory, and he imprinted it in his heart.

The firmness in Xiao Xian's eyes turned into astonishment, he stared blankly at the person in front of him, speechless.

However, Gu Yunqi seemed to have found the fun, he licked the corner of Xiao Xian's mouth, he was inexperienced, so he stopped at licking.

Xiao Xian finally realized what happened, he yelled, "You, what are you doing!?!"

"Hush," Gu Yunqi pressed his index finger against his lips, and said softly, "I don't like Miss Jiang, I'm here to accompany you for some reason."

This sentence was nonsensical, but Xiao Xian understood, it was what Xiao Xian asked Gu Yunqi when he fell ill...

After Gu Yunqi finished speaking, he got up and prepared to leave.

Xiao Xian looked at the top of the bed, a tear fell from the corner of his eye, the moment Gu Yunqi stepped out of the palace door, suppressed the tingling pain in his heart, but couldn't hide the grievance in his words, "But I've changed my mind now, I don't want to like you Now, I want to go back to Jiangcheng with Ashi, Kyoto and you... are so dirty."

Gu Yunqi walked out without pausing.

On the other side, Gu Cenyuan hurried to the East Palace, and when he entered the door, he saw Jiang Yao coming out of it.

Jiang Yao seemed to have changed, but she didn't seem to have changed. She took a step back and saluted distantly, "Your Highness is well."

Gu Cenyuan ignored her, walked past her without looking sideways, and walked towards the main hall.

Du Wei was waiting outside the door. Seeing Gu Cenyuan, he stepped forward to report, "Miss Jiang hasn't changed anything recently, except for coming to see Lu Shaoxia today."

After the Duanhua Banquet incident, Gu Cenyuan asked Du Wei to keep an eye on Jiang Yao.

Hearing this, Gu Cenyuan frowned and asked him, "What did she say to A Shi?"

"Lu Shaoxia didn't let anyone get close." Du Wei bowed his head and replied.

Gu Cenyuan asked coldly, "Won't you approach him if he doesn't let him approach you?"

Du Wei immediately knelt down on one knee and lowered his head.

Gu Cenyuan was about to ask him to receive the punishment, when Lu Shi's slightly weak voice came from the hall, "Don't punish him, I forced him."

Gu Cenyuan swung Du Wei back and walked in. Lu Shi was already fully dressed, sitting at the table drinking tea.

"The tea is an antidote, don't drink it." Gu Cenyuan snatched it and gave him a glass of water.

Lu Shi smiled, took a big sip, "Okay."

"Jiang Yao... Did you say anything?" Gu Cenyuan panicked for no reason.

"Can she tell me something?" Lu Shi asked back.

Gu Cenyuan choked, "I'm not afraid that she will say something nonsense again, you are thinking wildly..."

"That's not true," Lu Shi raised his eyebrows, with a bit of his usual air, "She came to speak harshly, but I said it back."

Gu Cenyuan rubbed his head, "Good job."

"Yeah!" Lu Shichan grinned.
