Hold His Hand

Taking a piece of preserved fruit into his mouth, Xie Chengze told himself not to think about things that would make him unhappy.

Lu Yanzhou is from the Lu family and came to seek revenge on him, but he was already dying, so naturally he didn't need to care about this, as long as he didn't know.

Even... In order to gain his trust, Lu Yanzhou should be obedient to him, and he can enjoy it.

After thinking about it, Xie Chengze leaned on the kang, half-closed his eyes, and unconsciously fell asleep.

Seeing that Xie Chengze was asleep, Lu Yanzhou gently moved his body, trying to make him sleep more comfortably.

The two guards of Xie Chengze followed Xie Chengze into the house and stood not far away. They knew that their crown prince trusted Lu Yanzhou very much, so they didn't stop them.

Lu Yanzhou took this opportunity to secretly check Xie Chengze's pulse.

He has only studied Chinese medicine for a short time, and he cannot judge Xie Chengze's physical condition just by taking his pulse, but combined with Xie Chengze's expression and the memory of the original owner, he can know a lot of things.

Xie Chengze is not only suffering from heart disease now, he is also anemic.

As for why Xie Chengze was anemic, the first thing that Lu Yanzhou thought of was the emperor who was obsessed with pursuing longevity.

King Rui asked the original owner to poison Jinshang to death because Jinshang let King Rui's blood be released.

Because of this, the original owner had the opportunity to poison Jinshang to death.

It's just that King Rui was bled, it happened later, Xie Chengze...was he bled at this time?

Even if he didn't know that Xie Chengze had a heart disease, and it was well known that the prince was weak, he still bled him!

Xie Chengze's current pulse is very weak, and Lu Yanzhou just feels the pulse, and he feels distressed.

After Xie Chengze lay down, Lu Yanzhou wrote a note and gave it to Chang Feng to let Chang Feng prepare the food.

What he asked Chang Feng to prepare was food that could replenish blood.

After waiting for the order, Lu Yanzhou returned to the house and accompanied Xie Chengze.

Xie Chengze didn't know how long he slept. He only knew that when he woke up, Lu Yanzhou was sitting beside him, reading a book.

On the contrary, his two guards were not there, they should have gone elsewhere... Lu Yanzhou's room is not big, so it's not a problem if they are all crowded in it.

Seeing that he was awake, Lu Yanzhou smiled and asked, "Brother Cheng, are you awake?"

"Sorry, I accidentally fell asleep." Xie Chengze said.

"You should take a nap when you're tired," Lu Yanzhou said, "Brother Cheng, your body is the most important thing."

Xie Chengze looked at Lu Yanzhou, and saw that the other party's eyes were full of concern.

He knew it was fake, but Lu Yanzhou didn't know that he had seen through everything.

Xie Chengze said: "I will."

Lu Yanzhou continued: "You drank porridge before going to bed, do you want to go to the toilet?"

After finishing speaking, Lu Yanzhou picked up the chamber pot and handed it to Xie Chengze.Now that it's cold, he doesn't want to go to the bathroom outside, so he prepares a chamber pot in the house.

As for how he handed it to Xie Chengze so skillfully... In the second life, he was used to helping Xie Chengze go to the toilet.

Xie Chengze was stunned.

As a prince, he had many people serving him, so there was no shortage of people who would bring him a chamber pot, but Lu Yanzhou would bring him...he really didn't expect it.

Before doing it, Xie Chengze would have blushed, but now he wanted to test Lu Yanzhou: "I'll do it myself..." Even though he said so, when he stretched out his hand, it seemed limp and painful.

"what happened to your hand?"

"It's nothing, I just got hurt." Xie Chengze said.

"Let me hold it for you." Lu Yanzhou immediately thought of Xie Chengze's possible bloodletting.

Xie Chengze hesitated for a moment: "Then it will be troublesome..."

"You're sick, it's nothing." Lu Yanzhou said.

Xie Chengze looked at Lu Yanzhou in disbelief.

In order to get revenge, to get close to him, can Lu Yanzhou even do such a thing?

Lu Yanzhou didn't know what Xie Chengze was thinking, and after letting Xie Chengze go to the toilet, he said again: "Brother Cheng, it's snowing outside, why don't you stay here today?"

Before it was changed, Lu Yanzhou would not make such a request, and it would be quite troublesome for the prince to stay away.

But Xie Chengze was very weak today, he couldn't bear Xie Chengze to go back in the snow.

Heart problems cannot be ignored, what if Xie Chengze gets sick halfway?

If it were in modern times, Xie Chengze would have to be hospitalized in the current situation!

Before it was changed, Xie Chengze would not agree to such a request. He was too close to Lu Yanzhou, and it was easy for Lu Yanzhou to be targeted by King Rui...

But at this moment, Xie Chengze said: "Okay, I just have to trouble Jizhi again."

After Xie Chengze agreed, Lu Yanzhou was overjoyed: "I'll let someone prepare the food."

"Just prepare whatever you want," Xie Chengze said.

Lu Yanzhou smiled and didn't answer, he had already asked Changfeng to prepare the blood-enriching food, now he only needs to give instructions and let someone do it.

When he came outside, Lu Yanzhou ordered Changfeng to cook, and told Xie Chengze's guards about Xie Chengze's stay today.

The two guards of Xie Chengze knew that Xie Chengze was bled by Jinshang, and also knew that Xie Chengze had a heart disease, but Lu Yanzhou was from the Lu family, because they were not around when Zhou Xueya reported to Xie Chengze before, so they didn't know about it.

This also caused them to trust Lu Yanzhou a lot.

Before Xie Chengze fell asleep, Lu Yanzhou said that he would take care of him, so they went to the next room to rest.

Seeing that it was getting late, they should actually remind Xie Chengze to go back, but thinking of Xie Chengze's body, they should just forget about it.

Now that Xie Chengze is going to live here, the two are even more happy. They only asked, "Where does our young master live? Where do we live?"

"There aren't many rooms here, would you two like to squeeze in Changfeng's room?" Lu Yanzhou asked, "As for Brother Cheng, he will sleep with me."

Lu Yanzhou was worried that Xie Chengze would sleep alone, so he definitely wanted to watch him.

The kangs in the room are quite big, sleeping three or four people is not a problem, the two guards said: "Okay, less trouble, Lu!"

"No trouble." Lu Yanzhou smiled at them, said he wanted to take care of Xie Chengze, and went back to his room.

Seeing this, the two guards went to talk to Chang Feng, and asked Lu Rong who was leading someone to cook next to him, "Miss Zhu, what are you having for dinner tonight?"

Lu Rong said: "Eat stewed cabbage and pork vermicelli." In winter, it's delicious and convenient to cook in a hot pot.

Of course they ate this, but what His Highness the Crown Prince ate was different. Her younger brother asked someone to get some blood-enriching food, and wrote a recipe for them to make it for the Crown Prince.

Duck blood vermicelli soup... Will the crown prince eat it?

Of course, the point is not this, the point is... Does the prince trust his brother too much?He was ready to live!

And the two guards of the prince, don't they only think about food?They actually left their master aside, thinking about what to have for dinner here!

Are they not afraid that their prince will be killed by his brother?

Well, her younger brother doesn't want to kill the prince now, but also wants to protect the prince, lest no one deal with King Rui.

Lu Rong made the food for the prince with her own hands, and couldn't help but slander while eating, thinking that the prince was too simple.

At this time, Zhou Xueya came to Jingning Temple despite the wind and snow.

After he told the prince about Lu Yanzhou's identity, the prince didn't take it seriously, but he couldn't help worrying that Lu Yanzhou and Lu Rong would be angry and attack the prince.

Therefore, when he learned that the crown prince had come to Jingning Temple, he rushed over in a hurry.

After Zhou Xueya came, he was taken to the largest room here, which was also the main room for cooking and eating.

The room was steaming and very warm because of the cooking. Zhou Xueya shook off the snow on his body, and saw two guards of His Royal Highness were eating pork stewed vermicelli.

While eating, the two talked to Chang Feng: "This kind of big pot dishes are delicious in winter, and it is comfortable to eat hot! Put a few plates of meals in small plates and serve them in front of you. If you don't eat them, they will be cold. It's tasteless."

"Yes! But there is nothing unusual about stewing pork noodles. My young master asked someone to turn on the stove yesterday. It is said that there is a charcoal fire under the stove and it can be cooked for a long time. Put it in and cook it, cook it and eat it now, that would be amazing!" Chang Feng told the two guards what Lu Yanzhou had said.

There are two people beside Lu Yanzhou, one is Lu Tao and the other is Chang Feng.

Lu Tao is from the Lu family, and he knows Lu Yanzhou's identity very well. Lu Yanzhou is afraid that he will show his feet, so he doesn't let him show up in front of Xie Chengze.

But Changfeng was the servant Lu Yanzhou found in Jiangnan, and he didn't know Lu Yanzhou's identity, so he called Xie Chengze's guard brothers.

Zhou Xueya: "..." Where is his prince?Why didn't these two guards stay by the prince's side, instead they mixed with Lu Yanzhou's servants?

There was also the boy Lu Yanzhou, who smiled so happily at the two guards, and put the meat slices into the guards' bowls.

"Master Zhou." The two guards greeted Zhou Xueya with a smile.

"Too... It's too cold today... Where's your young master?" Zhou Xueya asked.

"Our young master is in Young Master Lu's room." The two guards said.

These two actually asked His Royal Highness to stay with Lu Yanzhou... Zhou Xueya didn't know what to say.

At this time, Lu Rong had already finished the dishes. There were too many dishes, and she was worried that she couldn't take them, so she said immediately: "Are you here to find Master Cheng? I'll take you to him, and you can help me get something."

Zhou Xueya froze when he saw Lu Rong.

For this young lady of the Lu family, he felt both guilty and defensive.

However, Miss Lu, who was on his guard, handed him a food box and a bag of things for him to carry, then she took a tray and walked outside.

Seeing this, Zhou Xueya hurriedly followed.

When the two came to a hut, Lu Rong called out, and Lu Yanzhou came to open the door.

Seeing Lu Yanzhou, Lu Rong said, "I'm here to deliver the food. By the way, this Young Master Zhou is here to find Young Master Cheng."

Lu Yanzhou let the two of them enter the house, quickly closed the door, and then went to see Zhou Xueya.

Lu Yanzhou knew Zhou Xueya, and the original owner had this person in his memory.

This person is Xie Chengze's companion, and the relationship with Xie Chengze has always been very good, but in the original historical track, after Xie Chengze dealt with Han Shengchang, this person had a big fight with Xie Chengze, and after that, Xie Chengze arranged for him Stay away from the capital's duties.

At that time, many people around Xie Chengze left Xie Chengze, so the original owner could kill Xie Chengze.

Although Xie Chengze's death was mainly the original owner's fault, Lu Yanzhou felt that it was inappropriate for Zhou Xueya and others to part ways with Xie Chengze because of Han Shengchang.

But Lu Yanzhou didn't show it, he took the food and put it on the table, then asked Zhou Xueya if he had eaten, and asked Zhou Xueya to stay and eat together.

Zhou Xueya wanted to stay and stare at Lu Yanzhou, and immediately agreed: "I haven't eaten yet, so please trouble Brother Lu."

"No trouble, no trouble, you are Brother Cheng's friend and mine." After Lu Yanzhou finished speaking, he asked Lu Rong to stay for dinner.

This will also allow Lu Rong to develop a relationship with Xie Chengze.

Seeing that Lu Yanzhou treated Lu Rong very affectionately, Xie Chengze felt that he was blinded by his love for Lu Yanzhou before.

Lu Yanzhou took in many people, but he only treated Lu Rong differently, why didn't he notice something was wrong?

Of course, Lu Rong is Lu Yanzhou's cousin, so it's normal for Lu Yanzhou to behave like this.

The food is placed on the table, so you can't sit on the kang to eat.Xie Chengze got up and was about to get off the kang, when Lu Yanzhou hurriedly said, "Brother Cheng, you don't need to get down, you can just sit on the kang, I will move the table to the side of the kang."

Sitting on the kang is so warm, but Xie Chengze can't be allowed to come down to eat.

Thinking of this, Lu Yanzhou saw that Xie Chengze was only wearing thin socks, and Xie Chengze's shoes were not warm at all.

Lu Yanzhou hurriedly found a pair of new cotton boots, and said to Xie Chengze: "Brother Cheng, your shoes are not warm enough, you should wear these cotton boots, don't worry, I haven't worn these shoes yet."

As he said that, Lu Yanzhou had already started to help Xie Chengze get dressed.

Xie Chengze didn't stop him, and let Lu Yanzhou put on his shoes. After he put on his shoes, Lu Yanzhou also found the sheepskin cloak that Xie Chengze had worn before, and covered his legs.

Xie Chengze felt very warm.

Zhou Xueya saw it and felt very warm.

He was frozen all the way, and came here on horseback, but no one asked him if he was cold, but someone wrapped the prince who had been sitting on the kang in his house tightly.

After finishing all this, Lu Yanzhou moved the table to the side of the kang to make it easier for Xie Chengze to eat.

"Brother Cheng, I think you have a bad complexion and lack of energy and blood, so I asked someone to make this duck blood vermicelli soup, which can replenish blood." Lu Yanzhou took a bowl of vermicelli soup for Xie Chengze as a staple food, "You can also eat some other dishes , You must take good care of your body."

Zhou Xueya was worried before that there might be something poisonous in this dish, but when he entered the room, he saw Lu Yanzhou being so attentive to Xie Chengze...

There should be no poison in the dish?

After all, Lu Yanzhou and Lu Rong also want to eat.

Xie Chengze had already started to eat at this time, Zhou Xueya couldn't help but sigh - the prince is worthy of being a prince, he can eat the food given by his enemy so calmly!

"Brother Zhou, this place is simple, and there are not many things that can be entertained." Lu Yanzhou looked at Zhou Xueya again at this moment.

Zhou Xueya said: "It's already very rich. Before I came, I thought I wanted to eat vegetarian food here."

Lu Yanzhou smiled: "Brother Zhou thinks too much."

After talking to Zhou Xueya, Lu Yanzhou didn't care about Zhou Xueya, and his mind was on Xie Chengze.

He was picking up food for Xie Chengze, and asking about Xie Chengze's taste, and he didn't have a moment to spare.

Xie Chengze didn't refuse, and ate with a smile.

Lu Rong: "..." Her brother is really flexible!He can do this, no wonder King Rui felt that he was sincere to King Rui, and the prince was tempted by his younger brother again.

That's all for King Rui, Prince...

Lu Rong, who already knew from Lu Yanzhou that Xie Chengze was bloodletted to make alchemy, felt a little sympathetic to Xie Chengze at the moment.

This prince is too simple, too easy to bully!

Zhou Xueya: "..." His Royal Highness' methods are really not simple!This Lu Yanzhou was from the Lu family, and he had an enmity with their highness, but he was subdued by his highness, and he took such good care of his highness!

Do they still remember the hatred of their family being wiped out?

Zhou Xueya felt that Lu Yanzhou and Lu Rong were a little too kind.

Alas, back then the old man of the Lu family gave up the country to the late emperor, and now Lu Yanzhou is like this... The Lu family is too easy to bully!

When Zhou Xueya was eating with Lu Rong, he looked at Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze from time to time.

Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze only cared about eating by themselves, and when Xie Chengze had almost eaten, Lu Yanzhou asked, "Brother Cheng, I have learned a little bit of massage, do you want to try it?"

Lu Rong and Zhou Xueya: "..." They don't think they should stay here.

Zhou Xueya and Lu Rong, who felt that they didn't fit in with the atmosphere here, quickly ate up the rest of the food, packed the table and left.

There was one more person... Lu Rong asked Chang Feng to squeeze with others, and asked the two guards to live in Chang Feng's room with Zhou Xueya.

Zhou Xueya hadn't lived in such a dilapidated house for a long time, but since the bedding was all new, he could get used to it.

He felt that he still knew too little about Lu Yanzhou, so he asked Xie Chengze's two guards, hoping to learn something from them.

Xie Chengze's two guards did not hide anything, and told what they knew about Lu Yanzhou.

Seeing that Lu Yanzhou took in the elderly and children, the two admired Lu Yanzhou very much, and they always felt that Lu Yanzhou was very kind to Xie Chengze: "Young Master Lu really treats His Royal Highness as a friend, and His Highness also likes him. By the way, today he returned it to His Highness. A waterwheel was offered."

The two guards explained in detail how Lu Yanzhou delivered the water tanker twice.

And this kind of thing?

What on earth was Lu Yanzhou thinking, after researching the waterwheel, he actually dedicated it to the prince?

He really does serve the people wholeheartedly, regardless of past grudges?

When Zhou Xueya couldn't figure it out, Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze had already fallen asleep.

Xie Chengze didn't expect that Lu Yanzhou would sleep with him, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was nothing.

Anyway, he was looking forward to it.

Lying on the side of the kang, probably because he slept too much during the day, Xie Chengze couldn't sleep.

Hearing the breathing around him slowly becoming steady, Xie Chengze turned his head to look at Lu Yanzhou, watching...he leaned closer to Lu Yanzhou.

Lu Yanzhou woke up when he noticed movement around him, and asked in a daze, "Are you thirsty? Do you want a drink?"

As he spoke, he went to touch the water cup beside the bed—it is easy to get thirsty when sleeping on the kang, so he was a little thirsty.

Xie Chengze just watched Lu Yanzhou bring the water glass to his mouth... He was indeed a little thirsty, so he drank it all in one gulp.

Seeing this, Lu Yanzhou poured himself another cup and drank it down, then said to Xie Chengze, "Let's continue to sleep."

Xie Chengze: "..."

Xie Chengze just lay down with Lu Yanzhou.

Lu Yanzhou soon fell asleep again, but Xie Chengze still couldn't fall asleep.

The night was so dark that he couldn't see Lu Yanzhou's face clearly, but he could hear Lu Yanzhou's breathing.

After hesitating for a moment, Xie Chengze stretched out his hand and touched Lu Yanzhou's face.

As a result, as soon as his hand touched Lu Yanzhou's face, Lu Yanzhou woke up again, of course he was still confused: "Are you going to relieve yourself?"

Before Xie Chengze could speak, Lu Yanzhou picked up the chamber pot from the ground.

Xie Chengze: "..."

After using the chamber pot, Xie Chengze lay down again, and he didn't know what happened, he fell asleep quickly this time.

When Lu Yanzhou woke up the next day, Xie Chengze hadn't woken up yet.

Xie Chengze used to put some rouge on his lips to cover up his pale lip color, but yesterday Xie Chengze ate a lot and washed his face before going to bed, the rouge was gone long ago.

Because of this, he was lying there with a pale face at this moment, looking extremely fragile.

Lu Yanzhou touched Xie Chengze's cheek with his hand, then got off the bed lightly, and added some firewood to prevent Xie Chengze from freezing.

After finishing all this, Lu Yanzhou quietly left.

As soon as Lu Yanzhou left, Xie Chengze opened his eyes.

When Lu Yanzhou touched him, he woke up, but he didn't want to open his eyes. Now that Lu Yanzhou is gone... Xie Chengze rubbed the center of his brows with his hands.

Lu Yanzhou was really kind to him. If there was no enmity between them and Lu Yanzhou really loved him, that would be great.

But that's impossible.

Where is the big enmity between him and Lu Yanzhou, and he has only met a few times, how could Lu Yanzhou really be as affectionate to him as he showed?

Xie Chengze lay down for a while, when he heard the door open.

He looked towards the door expectantly, but instead of seeing Lu Yanzhou, he saw Zhou Xueya.

Zhou Xueya closed the door, came to Xie Chengze's side, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, you and that Lu Yanzhou... Are Lu Yanzhou trustworthy?"

Xie Chengze said: "Don't worry, Lu Yanzhou has a deep affection for me, and he will not hurt me."

What? !Zhou Xueya looked at Xie Chengze in shock.

Xie Chengze smiled: "He likes me, can't you tell?" If what he expected is not bad, this is exactly what Lu Yanzhou acted.

Since Lu Yanzhou acted like this...he just told people like this.

Zhou Xueya thought about it carefully, and it really seemed like this, but Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze were both men...

Xie Chengze said: "You don't have to stare at him anymore, he likes me and is reluctant to hurt me."

Zhou Xueya said: "Yes."

Zhou Xueya is in a trance now, so Lu Yanzhou... likes His Highness the Crown Prince, so he doesn't want to take revenge?

He felt something was wrong, but Lu Yanzhou did act like that, and most importantly, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would not lie to him.

Just at a loss, Zhou Xueya saw Lu Yanzhou come back with a basin of hot water, greeted him, and Lu Yanzhou even started to wash his prince's face and hands.

The old eunuch beside His Royal Highness can only do so meticulously.

Zhou Xueya began to believe his prince's words.

After taking care of Xie Chengze, Lu Yanzhou said, "It snowed all night yesterday, and the roads are frozen. Do you want to stay with me for a few days?"

Xie Chengze agreed straight away: "Okay." His work is almost done, so it's okay to leave for a few days.

As for his father's side... His father knew about his physical condition, he said that he could recuperate outside the city.

Xie Chengze decided to stay for a few more days, and Lu Yanzhou was very happy when he learned of this.

He went out with the wash water and poured it out. By the way, he asked Lu Rong to buy chickens and ducks. If there were pigs and sheep, he could also buy them.

There are so many people here, they can finish eating!

After speaking, Lu Yanzhou gave Lu Rong another pile of bank notes.

This silver ticket was given to Lu Yanzhou after Han Shengchang had an accident, King Rui got the job of presiding over Chunwei, but Lu Yanzhou hadn't had time to give it to Lu Rong.

The face value of the bank note is not small, so Lu Yanzhou said again: "By the way, you go to the city again and buy some medicinal materials. Brother Cheng needs to take good care of his body..."

Zhou Xueya who saw this scene: "..."

He knew which bank Ruiwang's money was stored in, so he specifically inquired about it, and knew that Ruiwang had given Lu Yanzhou a lot of money recently.

Then Lu Yanzhou used it to take in the poor people.

Well, it is still used to support their Highness.

King Rui has always been poor, if he knew about this, he wondered if he would be pissed to death.
