Ten thousand people think gloom is reborn

In the late autumn, I was afraid that others would see the scene of me talking with Lin Chongtan, so I closed the bead window in advance.Because it is inconvenient for me to move around, I can only lean on the beauty couch.I raised my eyes to look at Lin Chongtan, then lowered my head to stare at the flower embroidery on the thin quilt covering my legs.

The sound of footsteps approaching from a distance, I saw Lin Chongtan's red hem from the corner of my eye.Immediately afterwards, he sat down beside the beauty's couch, and before I could speak, he lifted the brocade quilt covering my legs.

I held back my anger and watched him roll up my trouser legs.

When Lin Chongtan's eyes touched the bruises on my knees, his fingers trembled, and then he raised his eyes to look at me, "Did the imperial doctor say how many times a day to take medicine?"

I don't know if it's my delusion or what, but his attitude this time is not as soft as last time, and there seems to be a hint of anger in his eyes.

I paused before saying, "Three times."

"How many times have you been here today?"

"once."

As soon as I finished speaking, Lin Chongtan asked me where the medicine was kept.I instantly realized what he wanted to do, and wanted to retract his legs, "I don't need you to help me with the medicine, I have palace servants to take care of me."

But Lin Chongtan held my calf, "Don't move around, where is the medicine?"

I hesitated for a while, then pointed to the alcove inside the Babu bed.Lin Chongtan stood up and took out the ointment from the alcove.

He smelled the ointment first, then dabbed some ointment on the back of his hand, after looking carefully, he put down the ointment again, and took out a box of ointment from his arms.

"The medicine prescribed by the imperial physician is cold in nature. You are already cold, so it is not suitable for this."

Lin Chongtan said that he wanted to apply medicine to the wound on my knee, so I hid for a while, and then stayed still.I watched him lower his head and apply the medicine to me, feeling a little dazed, because the scene at this moment was very similar to the scene of giving me the medicine in the dream.

But I didn't stay in a trance for long, the pain was already excruciating after taking the medicine yesterday, and it was even worse today.Lin Chongtan rubbed the ointment on my knee with his palm, and I gasped in pain.Lin Chongtan probably heard my voice, and moved a little lighter, but it still hurts.

I grabbed the brocade quilt beside me in pain, and suddenly heard Lin Chongtan's voice.

"Since you are so afraid of pain, why do you still have to kneel in front of the imperial court?"

I gritted my teeth, not wanting to let out another sound.

Lin Chongtan seemed to sigh. After applying the medicine, he went to clean his hands before returning to the couch.He opened my tightly clenched palm, which was already full of fingernail marks.

I saw him staring at my palm, trying to withdraw his hand, but failed a few times.

"Lin Chongtan, let go, I let you come, not to bully me!" I glared at him.

Lin Chongtan also looked at me, his voice was colder than usual, "Does Xiaodi think this is bullying?"

What does he know?Could it be that he knew the letter?

My eyelashes fluttered, and I bit my lip.

Lin Chongtan looked at me for a moment, and finally eased his expression, took out a handkerchief to help me wipe my face, "Why is it still the same as before, I just said a word, and I couldn't help crying."

I let him wipe away my tears, and when he withdrew his hand, I reached out and grabbed his hand, but when he looked over, I seemed to be surprised by my behavior, let go of my hand quickly, and turned my face away .

After a while, I was surrounded by the smell of medicine.

Lin Chongtan hugged me, I struggled first, and then hugged him back after struggling.I put my arms around his neck and said in a trembling voice, "Tansheng, I'm so scared. Father is so seriously ill, will he never wake up again?"

Lin Chongtan listened to me call him Tansheng, and slightly pushed me away.His eyes under his black eyebrows stared at me closely, as if he was scrutinizing my expression. I didn't dare to show any hatred, but pretended to be afraid and dependent on him.

After a while, he hugged me again, "The emperor is the son of heaven, with the protection of the gods, I'm naturally fine."

I can't help but grab the clothes on his body, "Really?"

"Ah."

"That's good! Father is fine." I thought about what to say next, "Recently, the palace is too uneasy. First it was the assassin, and now the father is sick again. Did you know that the assassin was actually sent by the Four Emperor Brothers?" Come on, I usually get close to him, I never thought he would do such a thing."

Lin Chongtan's hand gently ran down my back. Hearing the fourth prince's name, he said inexplicably, "Fourth prince...you don't have to get close to him."

"But I don't think he is the kind of person who would do such a thing." After I finished speaking, I found that my earlobe was rubbed twice.

Lin Chongtan rubbed my earlobe inexplicably, but acted like he didn't do anything, and said indifferently: "It doesn't matter whether he looks like him or not. I told you that you don't have to participate in these things. It used to be , and in the future.”

I have been with Lin Chongtan for a long time, and I understand to some extent that this person does not like to speak clearly, but the way he said it is enough to prove my conjecture.

The fourth prince is a scapegoat.

Suddenly, Song Nan's voice came from outside.

"My humble minister greets His Royal Highness, the prince is a thousand years old."

When I heard this, I couldn't help letting go of Lin Chongtan.Lin Chongtan obviously didn't expect the prince to come, and his expression changed slightly.

Seeing his reaction, I was a little hesitant. I should let the crown prince discover Lin Chongtan, or let Lin Chongtan hide from being discovered.

Wait, I can't let the crown prince discover Lin Chongtan.

If the prince hadn't colluded with Lin Chongtan, then he would doubt Lin Chongtan's loyalty when he found out that Lin Chongtan was here, but in this way, the fact that I let the new Jinshi enter the palace privately will also be exposed.

Now that the emperor is sick, and the situation in the former court is turbulent, if Lin Chongtan is found with me, I am afraid that the emperor will think that I have unlawful intentions to associate with future foreign ministers in private.

After thinking it through, I quickly pushed Lin Chongtan who was sitting still, and urged in a low voice, "Hurry up and hide."

While speaking, the prince's voice also sounded, "Pingshen, Song Nan, why are you guarding here? Is the Ninth Prince inside?"

Seeing that the prince was about to come in, it was too late to find a good place to hide.I quickly scanned the surroundings, and only found that the beauty couch under me could hide people, so I pushed Lin Chongtan twice, "Hide on the couch."

The way Lin Chongtan looked at me changed, I was not in the mood to pay attention to what he was thinking at this moment, I pushed and beat him to go down.Lin Chongtan reluctantly hid under the beauty's couch with a cold face.

Almost as soon as I tidied up the blankets on the couch that reached to the floor, covering Lin Chongtan's figure, the crown prince came in.

When the prince saw me sitting on the couch, he raised his hand to let the servants behind him back down.

"Gu heard that my younger brother's knee was injured, so I came here to take a look. How bad is the injury?"

He was so indifferent yesterday, but today he changed to the original face.And I did not disrespect him like I used to, I tried my best to prop up my body and wanted to stay on the bed to salute him.

The prince held my shoulder, "If your leg is hurt, you don't need to salute. Gu look at the injury on your leg."

"Yes, Brother Prince."

I have never done things for Tibetans. I was afraid that the prince would find Lin Chongtan who was lying on the couch. My heart beat a little fast, and my hands shook when I rolled up my trouser legs.

The prince was talking to me with a smile, but when he saw the injury on my leg, the smile on his lips subsided a bit.

He looked down at my wound, "Tsk tsk, why is it so badly injured, I'm so pitiful. Brother, have you taken any medicine?"

Just as I was about to reply, he found a box of medicine on the couch first. That box of medicine was prescribed by the imperial physician, not Lin Chongtan's box.

"Gu come to help you apply the medicine." The crown prince opened the lid of the medicine and wanted to help me apply the medicine.

I just took the medicine, and the medicine was so painful, I immediately refused: "No, I have already taken the medicine."

"Ever? When did you do it?" He asked me.

I deliberated: "It will be at noon."

"Then it's been several hours, let's do it again."

I was afraid that the prince would give me another medicine, so I reached out and grabbed his hand that was about to apply the ointment, "I forgot, I just took the medicine once, and I did it myself. It was the medicine that I put on before I put the ointment on." put it on the couch."

The prince raised his eyebrows, and suddenly grabbed my hand with his backhand, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it.After sniffing, he looked at me with a half-smile, "Your brother just took the medicine, why doesn't it smell like medicine at all? Not to mention that the palace servants took it for you, but just now your subordinates replied that you are resting in the palace. I want to be alone and quiet, so I let him guard outside the palace gate."

I had no excuses, and I couldn't confess Lin Chongtan, so I could only say: "Yes, I didn't take the medicine, and I don't want to take the medicine now."

"How can this be done? How can the injury be healed without medicine?" the prince said, dipping his hands in the ointment to give me medicine.

I stopped him again, "No, how dare I ask the prince brother to help me with the medicine, the prince brother should go back early, the father emperor still needs the prince brother to take care of him."

The prince's expression turned cold, as if he was blaming me for being ignorant, but he shook his head and smiled after a short while, as if he was extremely helpless, "You have a big temper, you knelt there yesterday, and I didn't let you in because you couldn't Open this opening. If you kneel down, I will let you in, and other people will also kneel there next day. Whether I will let you in or not. If I let you in, it will disturb my father's recovery. If I don't let you in, won't others say I am special Favoring you?"

Hearing what he said, I couldn't help but said: "Then can I visit Emperor Father secretly at night?"

The prince didn't say yes or no, he just played with the ointment in his hand.I immediately understood what he wanted to do, struggled a bit, and still reluctantly offered my leg, "Please trouble me, Brother Prince, to help me apply the medicine."

"Since you sincerely ask Gu to help you apply the medicine, then Gu will help you once again." The prince re-dipped the medicine, but when his fingers touched my knee, he suddenly lowered his head and sniffed on my knee. smell.

The alarm bells rang in my heart, the ointment Lin Chongtan gave me was not the same as the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician, and the taste was also different, could the crown prince smell it?

Just as I couldn't help holding my breath, the prince clicked his tongue, "The smell of the medicine covered up the fragrance of my brother."

After he finished speaking, he smeared my knee with his ointment-soaked fingers.I had just experienced the pain of applying the medicine, and now it happened again, I couldn't sit still, I could only lie on the couch, and there were layers of fine beads on my forehead.

I was also afraid that the prince would find Lin Chongtan under the couch, and he didn't even dare to grab the brocade by the blanket, for fear that it would be pulled and the figure below would be exposed.

The crown prince is obviously not good at taking care of people, and he doesn't even know how to apply medicine. He applied medicine with his fingertips, smeared here and there, lightly and heavily.

Finally, I waited till the end of taking the medicine. When I was lying on the couch and breathing calmly, the prince bent down and approached me.The color of his pupils is brownish, but because of the backlight, they look dark now.

When I saw him approaching, I felt a little uncomfortable, but I still asked him, "When can I see Father?"

The prince smiled, and then pinched my cheek, "Does my brother think that I can go to see my father? But just now I was serving you, if you want to go, shouldn't it be you trying to please Gu— -what sound?!"

When the prince said the word "please", there was a slight voice from under the couch.
