The first work of the imperial prison

A long dream.

When Ye Baiting woke up, the sky was bright, and unknown birds flew over the treetops and branches, leaving crisp calls, accompanied by the constant chirping of cicadas, and the sound of gurgling water was close to his ears, and naughty fish jumped out of the water and splashed again. With a sound of fall, the summer wind blows over the branches and leaves, sending a light fragrance of flowers, the branches and leaves make a slight sound, and it is very lively.

He rubbed against the pillow, reluctantly opening his eyes.

At the end of last night's memory was Qiu Yiqing's intense and hot kiss. This man seemed to be provoked. He didn't know if he was angry with himself or possessive. Fierce, pressed his hand and raised it above his head, not allowing him to resist.

He said that he didn't want to be a gentleman anymore, he killed countless people, he used iron and blood methods, he would go to hell in the future, he was already a bad person, and he didn't want to talk about etiquette anymore, he just wanted to possess him...

Ye Baiting lamented his embarrassment, he couldn't breathe and passed out!

It's not that he doesn't enjoy the lingering kisses shared between lovers, and he never thought of rejecting them. Some things just happen naturally. He also had expectations and expectations about this, but he never expected that he couldn't bear it physically, and he would be rejected by others. Give pro dizzy!

It's so embarrassing, really embarrassing!

But it's useless to escape, one has to wake up when one has had enough sleep, and one has to face no matter how embarrassing one is.

The cicadas are constantly singing, and summer is still so annoying, but why doesn't it feel very hot?

Ye Baiting opened his eyes and found that something was wrong, the surrounding environment was very strange, he had never seen it before.

The bed beneath him seemed to be made of mahogany, with carved flowers on the head of the bed, and a light blue gauze fell from it, which could prevent mosquitoes from the wind, and when he stretched out his hand, it seemed to have a machine button on it, which was extremely smooth, and he didn't need to worry too much about it. With one movement, the curtain hanging down to the ground is automatically retracted, and the field of vision becomes wider and clearer.

There are not many decorations around, there is a screen, a round table with brocade cloth is equipped with a low stool, and a glazed blue tea set is placed on it, there is no wardrobe with round corners, and there is not much place to put things, it looks simple and tight...

But he didn't panic, because in this strange environment, he saw something familiar——

Qiu Yiqing's belt was hanging on the screen, as if it had been pulled out and hung there, and it hadn't had time to clean it up.

So this is... Qiu Yiqing's home?

Of course people have families. General An has created such a great career. The commander just broke the first few cases, and the rewards from the emperor came over. The Jin Yiwei below followed suit. How could it be possible that Qiu Xunqing didn’t have a house in the capital?

But Qiu Yiqing has always been very busy, the place where he stayed the most was Beizhen Fusi, and he didn't go home very much, the weather was cold, and the place where Ye Baiting came and went most frequently was Ye Baiting's Xiaonuange, and later he slept with him, and later moved Go to the commander's room in the department...

The clothes, shoes and socks that Qiu Yiqing used to wear, the weapons he usually used, and the study where he handled official business were all in Fusi, Beizhen, which almost made others ignore the fact that he had a house outside.

Ye Baiting is the same. I only know that Qiu Yiqing has more than one real estate, such as the hot spring village in Xishan, which can be called "home". It has the best location and location, and the largest area. It's near Beizhen Fusi, not far away.

But Qiu Yiqing himself didn't go back very often, Ye Baiting never came, and never thought about coming, this time... Qiu Yiqing didn't take him back to Beizhen Fusi, but came here?

Ye Baiting got up, her arm was still aching, but it didn't matter, the gauze wrapped on it was fresh and clean, with a faint smell of medicine, it had been medicated, the pain was very slight, but more sore and numb, it was completely tolerable, better than last night Much better.

Turning around the screen, he realized why the sound of water was so close and there were so few furnishings in the room, because this was not a room, and he was not by the pond, but a... cold water pavilion?

The pavilion is very large and open on all sides. Not to mention a bed, it is more than enough to put two more. Only one side of the aisle similar to the "doorway" can see the distant scenery, and the others are water curtains, and there are water wheels in the pool. Continuously rolling, the continuous water is pumped to the top of the pavilion, and then falls from all sides, like a small waterfall. The sunlight passes over the water drops of the waterfall. When the angle is subtle, you can even see a beautiful rainbow light.

Ye Baiting has read some related ancient documents, such as how the ancients enjoyed the coolness, except for going to the mountains to escape the summer heat or using ice, most of them depended on the special construction structure of the house, such as thick walls, various doorways for ventilation, and a kind of cooling water pavilion. The running water is pumped to the top of the pavilion, and the water rotates continuously, so that the hot air can be taken away at any time, and the water vapor can be sent to keep the temperature pleasant.

It's just that it's one kind of feeling from the literature, but another kind of feeling on the spot in person.

He turned around and looked at the bed he slept in just now. The bed net... In addition to preventing mosquitoes and wind, it should also have the effect of preventing moisture and mist?

But this bed net is very new, and so is the bed. Although there is no paint smell in the pavilion, there is no wear and tear on all the sections and corners—is this new?

"woke up?"

Qiu Yiqing came from a distance, carrying a food box in his hand.

Ye Baiting rarely saw him like this.As a commander, Qiu Yiqing is always dignified and steady in front of people, and his clothes are always meticulous, mainly in dark blue and dark colors. He seldom wears light-colored silk shirts, and they are so thin. Blowing, you can see the contours of his chest and abdomen muscles...and the traces of the gauze that was wrapped.

"Your injury..."

"Why don't you wear shoes?"

Chou Yiqing left a food box, so he came over and hugged him on the couch, held his feet, took socks and put them on for him: "It's hot and you can't be so greedy for cold."

Ye Baiting subconsciously retracted her feet, but was held even tighter. Qiu Xunqing's voice was slightly hoarse: "It's okay to be self-willed elsewhere. It's cold in your feet. You have to wear socks."

The two looked at each other, and the touch of the fingertips was clearer, one rough and the other soft. When they rubbed, their bodies seemed to shudder, and their faces couldn't help but burn.

"cough……"

Ye Baiting turned his face away first, and looked at the food box in the distance: "Did you bring me the food?"

Qiu Xunqing put on socks for Xiao Zuo, carried him to the table, brought him a basin, washed his hands for him, and then opened the food box: "Sister said, you need light food in the morning."

Inside is a crock pot of porridge, which is fragrant and slightly sweet when boiled, and it tastes good as soon as you smell it.

Ye Baiting happened to be a little hungry, so he reached out to fill a bowl for himself, and filled it for him as well, "Where's my sister, is she okay?"

"Very well, it's just that Zhuzhilou is busy, so she has no free time."

"Where are the twins? Are they all right?"

"It's all right, because I was 'frightened' last night, I refused to go to class, so I asked someone to go to the academy to ask for leave."

Ye Baiting noticed that Qiu Yiqing's chin was tense and his face was a little grim. He thought he was hurting from a wound, so he found another topic to divert his attention: "Where's brother-in-law? He didn't show up last night, but what happened? "

Qiu Yiqing gave an 'hmm', and his voice was even weaker: "He is trying to integrate into the Third Prince's organization. The Third Prince really lacks talents like him, but trust needs to be built. Everyone was able to move last night, but he couldn't."

Ye Baiting figured it out after a second thought. Breaking into the opponent's organization is not so easy. The reason why brother-in-law can enter the shallow layer is because his identity is transparent and very useful to the opponent. For in-depth cooperation, there will inevitably be additional temptations. It was good that the brother-in-law did not move last night. If he did, this opportunity would completely disappear.

"So... my sister's crisis last night was real, but not necessarily life-threatening?"

"She was just a bait thrown by the third prince. To catch you, I will also try Shizhou. The third prince may not want to kill. Shizhou also has a dead man to protect him. But at that time, the crisis came suddenly, and there was no way to warn in advance. The sword has no eyes... ...Whether it is dangerous or not, it is not certain."

Ye Baiting pondered: "Then I didn't go in vain?"

"The third prince's goal is you. If you hadn't been lured away by those two letters, he would have thought of another way." The ink in the blue eyes of hatred and susceptibility floated, "You will eventually be transferred by him."

"Fortunately, there was no danger last night..."

Ye Baiting took a spoonful of porridge: "How about you, how is your poison?"

Qiu Xunqing: "The doctor said that due to the lack of energy consumption in the early stage, the influence of this poison on me has become less and less. There is no need to be afraid of this move, they may temporarily affect my emotions, but they cannot control me."

Ye Baiting was a little pleasantly surprised: "Did you get the medicine from Longfeng Trading Company?"

"If the third prince makes such a move, Shizhou will never do a profitable business," Qiu Xunqing said, "while the third prince is 'busy' outside, he goes to Longfeng Trading Company, goes deep into the treasury, and gives Tianlulanxin Changed."

Ye Baiting opened his eyes wide: "...Did he make a fake one?"

Hatred and green jaws: "Yes."

After thinking twice, Ye Baiting understood that brother-in-law did it on purpose, anyway, he was just lurking, and he wouldn't stay there for long, and he wouldn't feel guilty about doing small tricks. One of the ingredients of the medicine is also hard to find. The third prince may not know how to get it, maybe he got it through a trade with Wala, just to control Qiu Yiqing one day.

This kind of medicine is hidden in the deep warehouse, so it is impossible to sell it, and I will not take it out from time to time. Just make sure it is there, and Qiu Yiqing can't get it. Now my brother-in-law stole the medicine and put a fake one there. , the third prince doesn't know, maybe he will be complacent, thinking that there will be a chance to manipulate Qiu Xunqing in the future...

Ye Baiting is thinking right now, I hope her brother-in-law succeeds in secretly hiding Chen Cang, the third prince will never find out about it, and when he wants to use the flute to control Qiu Yiqing later... he will be very pleasantly surprised.

"What about Wala?" He put down his spoon, "The Eighth Prince is dishonest, I think we can teach him a lesson."

Qiu Xunqing: "The doctor said that his tossing around in the imperial prison has affected his life expectancy. I thought that I would not make arrangements on the way back for the mission, so that he would not have the strength to go back and fight with Uncle Jiu Wang. Unexpectedly, he did not unnecessary."

The commander's face was expressionless, and his words were calm and calm, but Ye Baiting could hear the undercurrent of the tide inside.

Originally, the eighth prince was not in good health, and they pointed at the eighth prince to go back and fight with the nine king uncle, which made the wala even more smoky, and didn't plan to do anything more. Now, since people don't care, it's fine to hang him, if he doesn't Struggle, if you can’t feed back more things to Jinyiwei to prove your own value, then don’t engage in the Oirat kingship. Although it’s a bit troublesome, the Oirats who were prosperous and strong before the hatred and suspicion can be divided, now create individual ones for them. The opponent... is not impossible.

Oala is only the largest tribe in Tatar, but Tatar is not the only tribe.

Ye Baiting thought, Qiu Yiqing is indeed General An, he has more ideas than him.

but……

"Why did the third prince come here?"

Wu Xiang couldn't stop it, and the business officials couldn't stop it. Jin Yiwei knew about it and would definitely investigate, but because he himself had no definite evidence in court, Jin Yiwei had already let him go. Why such a big commotion?To save Jiang Jihong?

But it's just a confidant, if you give up, you give up. When he pushed Mrs. Yao out, he didn't soften his heart at all.

Chou Yiqing: "He is announcing that he is coming."

Since I can't hide anymore, there is no need to hide anymore. Instead of being chased and intercepted by the government, like a rat that everyone shouts and beats, it is better to do a wave of evil deeds, let ordinary people know that they are afraid of him, and let other evil people know that there is such an organization You can rely on him, and let some people know that his identity is unusual.

If it wasn't for the sudden exposure of the third prince himself due to the accident of the case this time, he would still hide in the dark and continue to stir up waves, plotting deeper plots and more terrifying things. He is in a hurry now, and he has no time to do more, so he can only plan this one The crisis must have caused the loss of many manpower and the loss of many arms because of this task.

As for why he didn't plot against the emperor, it's very simple. The emperor has the most elite armed forces of Dazhao by his side, and he reacts quickly when he is attacked, and the counterattack will be more violent and shocking. no more...

These hatreds can be analyzed by young people, and Ye Baiting can also think: "So we can't lower our vigilance, we need to be on guard at all times. The third prince has suffered a serious injury this time, and he may not be able to come back in a short time. At least he will move while he is recuperating." No, but small actions are indispensable, and in order to succeed in the future, we will definitely be ready to go, and there will be a big wave... To prevent him from rebelling and entering the city to force the palace, we must find the source of his private soldiers—huh?"

Before he finished speaking, Qiu Xunqing held his mouth shut.

The other party was wiping his mouth with a muslin cloth, and the atmosphere suddenly...became less serious.

Ye Baiting realized later that something was wrong with Chou Yiqing, his face was getting darker and darker, and the ink in the bottom of his eyes was getting darker and darker, like the waves of the deep sea were turbulent, what kind of extreme storm was about to be triggered...

It seems that something is wrong with this man since he ate porridge and mentioned his sister, and it got worse after that. Although he answered his words, he was a little impatient?

"What's wrong with you?" Ye Baiting tilted his head to look into his eyes, "Are you angry?"

Qiu Yiqing pursed her lips: "No."

really!

Look at this awkward expression, listen to this awkward tone, and say you're not angry?

Ye Baiting was a little uncertain about Qiu Yiqing's temper, seeing him would subconsciously glance at his injured right arm... Does this man feel that he didn't protect him well and is still grieving?

He took his hand and shook it: "I'm fine, don't worry."

Qiu Xunqing held his hand: "I don't want to eat porridge next time, it doesn't matter if it's inconvenient, I will feed you."

Ye Baiting looked down at the bowl. Do you always use a spoon to eat porridge? He has no problem with his left hand at all, but he uses chopsticks to eat... This man is really worried about this matter?That's a pity, did he eat it himself and didn't ask him for help, or was he unhappy that he was so inconvenient due to injury?

"Then I'll call you when I want to eat?"

"……Um."

Ye Baiting tried a word, but he didn't know if the other party understood, so he just nodded.

It's a bit uncomfortable...

Ye Baiting thought for a while, then mentioned what he had just noticed: "This is your home?"

Sure enough, they didn't talk about anything else, the topic was on each other, and the blue face of hatred eased a lot. He brought a plate of grapes and peeled them for him to eat, but he was calm and calm: "Didn't the key be given to you? If you want, you can buy it at any time." You can come."

It was only then that Ye Baiting remembered that a long time ago, it seemed to be a matter of winter. When they were talking to each other, this man gave him a bunch of keys. What did he say about the private treasury, wealth, all belonged to him... At that time, it included the keys to this house?This man's private treasury, all the hidden treasures, are all here?

"cough……"

Ye Baiting was a little embarrassed, looked around, and asked, "Is there no one in your family?"

Qiu Yiqing stuffed the peeled grapes into Ye Baiting's mouth: "I'm the only one."

"I'm not four..."

Ye Baiting chewed the grapes and swallowed them before he could speak clearly again: "I didn't mean that, I mean, what about the servants? Just looking at a corner of your house, I know it's not small, why is there no one around, no movement at all? "

Qiu Yiqing just stared at his lips with lowered eyes: "Is it sweet?"

Ye Baiting took a sip and nodded: "Sweet."

Only then did Qiu Yiqing say: "I told them to go away."

"Ok?"

"It will disturb your rest."

"But I slept all night, and now..."

"That's not possible either."

Qiu Yiqing looked at the skin exposed by Ye Baiting's neckline, thought of something, and his eyes gradually darkened: "You didn't sleep well last night, you kept crying in pain, and you sweated a lot. The weather has been bad these two days, and you seem to be bored. Rain, the heat in the room is overwhelming, so I carried you here, if the servant is here, you will not sleep well, and you will be shy when you wake up."

Ye Baiting: ...

It's very considerate.

"It's really cool here." Ye Baiting's eyes fell on the surroundings, the ones that were brand new and had no traces of wear and tear, "Is it newly built?"

Although the surrounding scenery is very harmonious and the existence of Liangshui Pavilion is not obtrusive, it is too new and completely different from other places.

Qiu Yiqing's head: "This summer night, it's already July, and the weather will get hotter and hotter. Fusi's room in Beizhen may not be comfortable. You don't have to live there anymore, but you can stay here until the Mid-Autumn Festival...or, You can live here for the rest of your life if you like."

His eyes were too hot, Ye Baiting could hardly pretend not to notice, and lowered his eyebrows: "Then I live here... Is it convenient?"

There is a more comfortable and cooler place to stay, who wants to feel flustered and short of breath in the heat?But he is still not a serious Jinyiwei, and he still has the status of a prisoner.

"Is it inconvenient for the commander to serve in person?" Qiu Xunqing suddenly approached, "Do you not want to live with me?"

Ye Baiting made a decisive decision: "I live! I will live in this pavilion!"

Only then did Qiu Yiqing's eyes slow down, with a hint of a smile: "You can stay here during the day, and there is water shade to cool you down. If it's not sweltering and hot at night, ice is enough for the room... It's not easy to be seen."

Ye Baiting blinked, a little confused, why is a big man afraid of being seen?It's not that he sleeps naked, at most he is ridiculed for his indecent sleeping position, he never thought that sleeping is sleeping, he may not be alone, and two people may not sleep side by side obediently, maybe they will do something else... ...inconvenient indeed.

"Shen Jiang was promoted to a thousand households before, and he didn't hang out in front of me for a few days. Is he doing this for you?" Ye Baiting recalled, "You didn't tell me on purpose, because you wanted to surprise me?"

Qiu Xunqing continued to peel grapes for him: "I didn't expect that someone would be so ignorant."

While he was asleep, those who cheated him, those who bullied him...

"puff--"

With excessive force on the fingers, one of the grapes was crushed, and the juice was dripping.

Ye Baiting: ...

"Wait in a hurry? Sorry, I'll peel it again." The commander was patient, took another one slowly, and peeled it again.

Not right, very wrong.

Ye Baiting felt that today's Qiu Yiqing was very temperamental and not easy to mess with: "Then today we..."

Before I finished speaking, I heard movement outside. It was a little far away, like in the outer courtyard, but other people's voices were loud, not like arguing, but like giving gifts, all kinds of loud and loud, what can I say? Accept, what that one said must be accepted, what this one said was against the rules, and that one said that accepting it is the rule...

"Are there any guests at home?"

"It's just some annoying things." Qiu Xunqing squeezed another grape, full of displeasure, "I asked someone to throw it out."

Ye Baiting didn't say anything, he heard the voice and the way he spoke, especially the laughter, it didn't seem like an 'annoying thing', like the father-in-law of the East Factory and the West Factory?

Thinking back to the time I got along with the two factory owners, both of them seemed to admire him very much. Before, they just looked at Qiu Yiqing's face and wanted to make friends in a roundabout way, but now most of them are for him. I really want to recruit him. .

When I didn't know much about it before, the two factory owners would rack their brains to give gifts. Now he is not only valuable, but also makes them cherish his talents, and he was directly taken home by Qiu Xiqing... East Factory West The factory is so well-informed, how could it not show up?

Looking carefully at Qiu Yiqing again, it's amazing, this guy who was already sinking into water wiped his hands, and his unhappiness was directly on his face.

Ye Baiting suddenly realized, is Qiu Yiqing a little...not wanting him to see other people?

He mentioned his sister, his brother-in-law, his subordinates, and Shen Jiang. Now, he was kicked out of the east factory and the west factory before he even mentioned it... It is true that it is for his sake, and he wants to let him rest quietly, but It seems that there is also a manifestation of possessiveness, or jealousy?

It seems that this man is very tense, and he doesn't want to let him leave his side, not even for a moment, like a male bird who has built a nest and picked up the female bird, and can't stand any stimulation.

Fortunately, he only hurt his arm, and it wasn't serious. He could recover after taking care of him, and he was in a good mood. He didn't feel uncomfortable, and he didn't say he was going to leave. Otherwise, this man might not develop post-traumatic stress disorder.

"Don't be jealous."

Because Qiu Yiqing was on his right side, his right arm was a bit inconvenient, and it would hurt if he moved too much, so Ye Baiting stretched out his foot and gently hooked Qiu Yiqing's waist to show comfort.

With such a hook and rub, the sock fell off again.

Qiu Xunqing grabbed his ankle.

Some feelings have been endured and suppressed all the time, and if given a spark, they can flourish instantly, and sparks can start a prairie fire.

Seeing that the other party's eyes were getting more and more wrong, Ye Baiting immediately retracted her feet: "I will live with you, I won't leave."

Qiu Yiqing's thumb gently slid across the skin of his feet: "Prove it to me."

Ye Baiting's throat was a little dry: "Why, how can I prove that..."

"They all covet you and want to win you over..."

Suspicious and blue-browed, he took his hand and put it on the button of his shirt: "But I'm yours, do you want it?"

Ye Baiting really, facing this man, seeing such eyes, it's hard to say that he doesn't want to, the burning feeling from last night came again, as long as he was so close to Qiu Xunqing, he couldn't hold back.

Qiu Xunqing bullied her, her eyes welled up, and she couldn't hold back the turbulent waves: "I can be a good person to others, but to you, I can't help it, and I don't want to bear it anymore, I may be a madman, a lunatic... A Ting, are you afraid?"

To be honest, Ye Baiting was a little scared.

Seeing the panic in his eyes, Qiu Xunqing couldn't take it anymore, picked him up directly, and clasped his wrist: "Don't leave! You promised me, don't look at anyone, ignore anyone, just stay by my side!"

He was a little crazy, and he bullied him aggressively, but he also remembered that Xiao Zuo was injured, so he couldn't use too much force, half subconsciously wanted to sink, half controlled himself, and felt very uncomfortable.

Ye Baiting looked at him clearly: "Your injury... are you sure it's okay?"

Chou Yiqing breathed slightly, and lightly stroked Ye Baiting's eyes with her fingers, her movements were cautious in contrast to her momentum: "...it's okay."

Ye Baiting raised his head and gave him a kiss, smiling brightly.

Chou Yiqing couldn't bear it any longer, her throat rolled, and with a hook of her foot, the curtain was lowered.

All lovesickness is pouring out at this moment, some vows do not need to be told, we already know each other, the years are long, nothing is more precious than this moment.

The weather outside the pavilion changed at some point. The rain that had been holding back for a long time finally fell. The heavy rain hit the Qingtai, and the flowers were wet and dripping.
