Hold His Hand

Lu Yanzhou's two brother-in-laws were very careful. If Zhou Xueya hadn't specially arranged for someone to go to the border to watch after knowing Lu Yanzhou's identity, they would definitely not have discovered it.

As for the news from King Rui, it took Zhou Xueya a lot of effort to find out.

The relationship between King Rui and Lu Yanzhou is very secretive. If King Rui hadn't been too complacent in bringing down Han Shengchang recently, he wouldn't have leaked it to others.

And they were able to know all this... all because he had looked for and helped Lu Rong back then.

If His Royal Highness hadn't asked him to look for Lu Rong back then, he would definitely not recognize Lu Rong now, and he would definitely know nothing about Lu Yanzhou's identity and what he did.

As for Lu Yanzhou, he not only got in touch with King Rui, but also the prince. What exactly does he want to do?

He is so good at acting, shouldn't he be as innocent as he appears?

Zhou Xueya was very anxious when he got the news, but Lu Yanzhou was talking about "hot pot" to Xie Chengze at this time: "I asked someone to make a pot, put charcoal fire on the bottom, and a pot on top, you can put all kinds of things in it and cook it... Brother Cheng wants Don't try?"

"Okay." Xie Chengze responded with a smile.

"Then I'll prepare." Lu Yanzhou said.

"I'll take a rest in the room." Xie Chengze didn't intend to follow.

Lu Yanzhou thought Xie Chengze was tired, so he agreed immediately, and when Lu Yanzhou left, Xie Chengze looked at Zhou Xueya: "What happened?"

Zhou Xueya went out just now, and when he came back, he seemed hesitant to speak.

Zhou Xueya said: "Your Highness, someone sent some information related to Lu Yanzhou."

"Tell me about it." Xie Chengze said.

"Lu Yanzhou sent a large amount of money to the frontier, and then his two cousins ​​used the money to make friends with many people and buy many soldiers..." The people sent by Zhou Xueya only found a little information, and hurriedly sent the information to Send it back, what Zhou Xueya knows is actually not very clear.

But giving money to soldiers... what is it if it's not buying people's hearts?

The soldiers were very poor, and most of them could not afford to eat, so they left their hometowns to serve as soldiers for the little salary.

Lu Yanzhou's two brothers-in-law have been operating in the frontier for many years, and the Lu family's reputation in the army has always been very good. If Lu Yanzhou wants to buy people's hearts, it is really not difficult.

Xie Chengze already knew that Lu Yanzhou was very capable, so he was not surprised to learn about it, he acted very calmly, and in turn comforted Zhou Xueya: "If you think too much, he is kind-hearted and wants to help those who are struggling to survive those days. Soldier."

"Your Highness, even if Lu Yanzhou is kind-hearted, it's not enough to go bankrupt like this, right?" Zhou Xueya would definitely not be able to do the thing of donating all his family property by himself!

Xie Chengze said: "He is such a person."

Xie Chengze said it with certainty, and Zhou Xueya began to doubt himself again, wondering whether he was judging the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

But Zhou Xueya quickly thought of the second piece of information: "Your Highness, the person I placed next to King Rui took the risk of being exposed to inquire about Lu Yanzhou's news. He asked King Rui why he trusted Lu Yanzhou so much. King Rui said... King Rui Said that Lu Yanzhou has a deep-rooted affection for him."

Xie Chengze felt that he had already experienced strong winds and waves, and he would not care about ordinary things, but when he heard this, his expression changed instantly.

Because of this, Xie Chengze remembered some things that he had neglected before.

For example... How did Lu Yanzhou win the trust of King Rui?

King Rui was so relieved to let Lu Yanzhou get so close to him... It's a bit unbelievable.

Only use Han Shengchang's criminal evidence?This is unlikely!

Even if Lu Yanzhou helped King Rui with business affairs, and even helped King Rui bring down Han Shengchang, King Rui was always suspicious. Seeing him getting close to Lu Yanzhou, he would definitely suspect Lu Yanzhou, and it was impossible to give Lu Yanzhou a lot of money back.

Why does King Rui trust Lu Yanzhou so much?

But if Lu Yanzhou behaved exactly the same in front of King Rui as he did in front of him, then it would make sense!

Lu Yanzhou's performance in front of King Rui may be the same as in front of him... Realizing this, Xie Chengze almost gritted his teeth.

He could accept that Lu Yanzhou deliberately approached him - if he were Lu Yanzhou, he would also want revenge.

He can also accept that Lu Yanzhou's feelings for him are fake, he couldn't believe it before.

But Lu Yanzhou treats others like this...he can't accept it.

However, this should be the case.

Xie Chengze closed his eyes and opened them again, and said to Zhou Xueya: "Lu Yanzhou is getting close to me, King Rui is in a hurry, this should be what King Rui said deliberately, just to make us mess with Lu Yanzhou."

Zhou Xueya was a little confused when he heard Xie Chengze say this - so it was like this?

He always felt that something was wrong.

But His Royal Highness has always been strategizing, so it shouldn't be wrong?

"You don't have to stare at Lu Yanzhou from now on, I'm sure he's fine...you go to my father's side and stare at the Taoist priest beside him." Xie Chengze said.

"Your Highness, with Lu Yanzhou's status, there has been a lot of movement in the Lu family recently, and someone must be watching..." Zhou Xueya was worried.

Xie Chengze smiled: "Xueya, don't you even believe me? I know exactly what Lu Yanzhou is going to do. He is a knife in my hand."

Xie Chengze was always calm, which made Zhou Xueya feel like he was making a fuss.

Zhou Xueya still trusts Xie Chengze very much. Hearing Xie Chengze's words, he said: "Your Highness, I must check those Taoist priests carefully... By the way, I have always arranged people to watch over there. Recently, there was a Taoist priest who hadn't moved much before , has won today’s appreciation.”

"Then just keep an eye on him." Xie Chengze said, he hated those Taoist priests, but he wouldn't bother.

Xie Chengze felt that he was also quite cold-hearted. He knew that taking those pills was not good for his health, and he had persuaded his father in the early years, but after his father punished him in turn, he never persuaded him again.

When his father drained his blood, his feelings for his father became weaker. Now, he felt that even if his father died immediately, he wouldn't feel anything.

The most he can do is... he won't do anything to his father.

That was his father after all.

Apart from his father, he also has very little affection for his mother. He will try his best to protect her and her family as much as possible, but he does not long for his mother's love.

He has never cared about feelings.

No... he doesn't seem to be like that either.

He likes Lu Yanzhou very much, for Lu Yanzhou, he can do many things that he would not do before.

Is it because...it's rare to like someone, so it's even crazier?

Xie Chengze didn't know what was going on with him, he only knew that at this moment, he hated Lu Yanzhou very much, but he still didn't want to hurt Lu Yanzhou.

He even dismissed Zhou Xueya, lest what Lu Yanzhou did would be discovered by Zhou Xueya, and it would end badly in the end.

And he protected Lu Yanzhou like this, shouldn't Lu Yanzhou give him something in return?

Xie Chengze was thinking about this, when Lu Yanzhou came back with the "hot pot" he specially made for others, and Lu Rong who brought a lot of ingredients came with him.

Putting the hot pot on the table, Lu Yanzhou said, "The kitchen happened to cook bamboo shoots with bacon. Let's use this as the soup base. I also prepared some sauce."

"I'm not picky, I can eat anything." Xie Chengze laughed.

Xie Chengze is not picky about food, he eats common ingredients, but he still has preferences, and even if he changes the world, his preferences will not change.

Lu Yanzhou said: "Don't worry, it's all what you like to eat."

Waiting for Lu Yanzhou to put the ingredients on...Xie Chengze found out that apart from blood sausage, he really loves to eat.

As for the blood sausage... isn't this the kind that I often eat recently, are I tired of eating it!

The table in Lu Yanzhou's room happened to be able to seat four people, so Lu Yanzhou asked Lu Rong and Zhou Xueya to eat with them.

While eating, Lu Yanzhou felt that Zhou Xueya looked at him several times with strange eyes.

What's wrong with this man?

Lu Yanzhou felt a little strange, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

The only thing he cares about is Xie Chengze.

Xie Chengze's performance was the same as before, and Lu Yanzhou just took care of serving him food.

It wasn't until Xie Chengze was full that Lu Yanzhou started to eat his own, and then started to clean up after eating.

Zhou Xueya: "..." Lu Yanzhou looked really innocent... So he really made a mistake?

Xie Chengze said at this moment: "Jizhi, it's getting late, I don't want to go back today..."

Before Xie Chengze finished speaking, Lu Yanzhou said, "I'll go and make the bed right away!"

As he said that, Lu Yanzhou had found a clean bed sheet and was about to change it.

Most people in this era are not very particular, but he loves cleanliness, so he specially made several sets of quilt covers and sheets and changed them from time to time.

Xie Chengze watched Lu Yanzhou change the sheets with a smile, Zhou Xueya and Lu Rong looked at each other, and felt that they were a bit redundant again.

The two packed their things and left together.

When they got outside, Zhou Xueya talked to Lu Rong: "Miss Zhu, I want to stay here too, please excuse me."

"No trouble." Lu Rong smiled.

Han Shengchang was already in prison, and her husband was also making progress. Lu Rong was in a good mood, and her attitude towards Zhou Xueya was also very good.

She has no enmity with Zhou Xueya!

Seeing this, Zhou Xueya asked Lu Rong what happened to her husband, and Lu Rong said that her husband went out to buy goods and never came back, and he didn't know what was going on now.

Lu Rong's answer was impeccable. If Zhou Xueya didn't know her details, he would never have guessed that she was from the Lu family.

That night, Zhou Xueya fell asleep worriedly.

On the other side, Xie Chengze was also getting ready for bed.

Before going to bed, Lu Yanzhou brought water to soak his feet, and when he went to sleep, he even covered him with the only silk quilt that was said to be brought back from Jiangnan all the way.

It would be great if he didn't know that Lu Yanzhou was from the Lu family, then he must be very happy at this moment.

But now... As long as he thinks that Lu Yanzhou may be so considerate to King Rui, Xie Chengze will be so jealous that he can't wait to tie Lu Yanzhou up and hide him in a place where only he can see him.

He can rehabilitate the Lu family and kill all those who betrayed the Lu family, as long as Lu Yanzhou obediently stays by his side.

If he was in good health, he would definitely do it!

But he is dying!

After Lu Yanzhou got on the kang, Xie Chengze suddenly took Lu Yanzhou's hand and smiled at Lu Yanzhou: "Jizhi, you are so kind to me, do you mean me?"

There was only a small oil lamp in the room, under the dim light, Xie Chengze's appearance became more and more outstanding.

Lu Yanzhou's heartbeat accelerated unconsciously.

He knew that he was very obvious, but in front of Xie Chengze, it was difficult for him to hide his emotions.

It's like he obviously shouldn't know that Xie Chengze has a heart disease, but he can't see that Xie Chengze is weak and doesn't take it seriously, so he can only help to recuperate.

Now Xie Chengze has confessed...Even if the time is not ripe, Lu Yanzhou can't lie to him. He grabbed Xie Chengze's hand and said seriously, "Brother Cheng, I like you."

Xie Chengze looked at Lu Yanzhou and laughed: "I like you too. You are the first person I have liked since I grew up."

Lu Yanzhou felt his heart was about to jump out of his chest.

This is not the first time Xie Chengze has confessed to him, but after he heard it, he still felt numb all over: "You are also the first person I like."

"Really?" Xie Chengze raised his eyebrows.

"I won't lie to you. To me, there is no one more important than you in this world." Lu Yanzhou took Xie Chengze's hand and kissed it.

Xie Chengze only felt the numbness on his hands spread upwards, all the way to his heart.But he quickly restrained his emotions.

As far as he knows, Lu Yanzhou has been working for King Rui for two years. Has he told King Rui about this?

Has he ever kissed King Rui's hand?

Forget it, he just doesn't know.

Xie Chengze said: "I suffer from heart disease, you should know?"

Lu Yanzhou's heart sank: "I know."

"I suffer from heart disease, and I don't know how long I can live... I planned to wait for you to express my heart to you after the spring, but I was afraid that it would be too late..." Xie Chengze pretended to be weak.

However, what he said was not entirely false.

After he knew Lu Yanzhou's identity and found that he still loved him, he wanted to show his affection to Lu Yanzhou as the prince after Chunwei, and explained that if Lu Yanzhou didn't accept it, they would be separated from each other.

Lu Yanzhou deliberately approached him, and he would definitely not be willing to leave him, but would accept him... He could also receive more tenderness before he died.

As for why it was Empress Chunwei... Although he hated Lu Yanzhou for lying to him at the time, he didn't want to affect Lu Yanzhou's Chunwei.

But now it's different.

Knowing that Lu Yanzhou had something to do with King Rui, he didn't want to wait any longer.

"You'll be fine. I'm a medical student. I can cure you." Lu Yanzhou said seriously.

Xie Chengze didn't take Lu Yanzhou's words seriously at all, instead he looked at Lu Yanzhou: "Can you hug me?"

of course can!

If the person he loves asks for a hug, Lu Yanzhou will hug him no matter what!

Holding Xie Chengze in his arms, Lu Yanzhou even kissed him on the cheek: "You don't have to worry too much, just take good care of your body, and I will definitely cure you."

Xie Chengze didn't speak, he hugged Lu Yanzhou back and kissed Lu Yanzhou's neck.

Lu Yanzhou's Adam's apple rolled up and down, and Xie Chengze also felt the changes in his body.

Realizing this, Xie Chengze breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew that after Lu Yanzhou was acting, what he was most afraid of was...Lu Yanzhou even liked men, he acted.

If Lu Yanzhou has no feelings for men, then even if he deliberately seduces, it won't help.

Fortunately, Lu Yanzhou really likes men, and now that he hugs him, Lu Yanzhou is also emotional.

Xie Chengze said again: "I have been in poor health since I was a child, and I have never performed the ceremony of Zhou Gong with others. Now I don't know how long I can live..."

Xie Chengze's meaning couldn't be more obvious.

But Lu Yanzhou refused: "No, you are not in good health, you have to restrain yourself! Let's talk about it after you get better."

Lu Yanzhou is already used to Xie Chengze's enthusiasm, but Xie Chengze's current body...he can't be too beastly!

"I had this wish before I died, and you don't want it?" Xie Chengze asked.

"Don't say such depressing words, you will live a long life." After Lu Yanzhou finished speaking, he wrapped Xie Chengze in a quilt, then hugged him in his arms, and took a deep breath to calm down the reaction provoked by Xie Chengze.

Xie Chengze: "..."

After discovering that Lu Yanzhou likes men, he thought that Lu Yanzhou would be easy to grab, but... Lu Yanzhou didn't want to?

Does he really care about his body, or does he not want to touch the son of the enemy?

That's right, if he and Lu Yanzhou really wanted to have such a relationship, it would be easy to get confused.

But he just thought about it and didn't want to give up.

Xie Chengze instantly had the urge to snatch Lu Yanzhou back to the East Palace, but he still restrained himself.

If he can really live a long life, there are ways to suppress Lu Yanzhou and let Lu Yanzhou listen to him for the rest of his life, but he is doomed to die early, and he is reluctant to hurt Lu Yanzhou.

Lu Yanzhou also has extraordinary means, and he will become a great weapon in the future.

Under such circumstances, he couldn't offend Lu Yanzhou.

Not for anything else, just for his mother, Zhou Xueya and others.

If Lu Yanzhou hated him, he might hurt these people after his death, which was not what he wanted.

Xie Chengze was thinking a lot, looked at Lu Yanzhou, and burst into tears.

Seeing this scene, Lu Yanzhou's heartbeat almost stopped: "Why are you crying? What's wrong with you?"

Xie Chengze said: "You don't want to touch me, because you dislike my body?"

"I do not have."

Xie Chengze didn't speak, and tears rolled down from his eyes silently.

He was acting, and he was really crying: "I was the one who was rude. My body can't have anything to do with you. We should not meet again from now on..."

Xie Chengze had thought about it from the very beginning, if Lu Yanzhou didn't want to, he would threaten to "never meet again".

For now, the threat is still in use.

Lu Yanzhou didn't realize that this was a threat at all. At this moment, he just felt that Xie Chengze was really pitiful: "Don't...don't...don't cry, I promise you everything."

All right... Xie Chengze is fine during the Chinese New Year, as long as he doesn't do strenuous exercise, there is no problem.

He came from left to right, and to Xie Chengze, it wasn't considered strenuous exercise.

Seeing that Lu Yanzhou agreed, Xie Chengze stopped crying. He freed his hands from the quilt and hugged Lu Yanzhou.

But Lu Yanzhou blocked him again: "Wait a minute, I'll go get something." He bought a can of camellia seed oil not long ago, and he originally wanted to use it to stir-fry vegetables for Xie Chengze, but now...

Xie Chengze's face changed slightly as he took the things Lu Yanzhou had prepared.

Lu Yanzhou... quite experienced.

Lu Yanzhou was already very gentle, especially today, so much so that Xie Chengze was prodded by him.

But Lu Yanzhou only had that sentence: "You are not in good health, be careful."

Xie Chengze: "..." This is too exhausting!

But he has to admit, it feels good.

Lu Yanzhou was very fortunate that he warmed the water by the kang.

After scrubbing Xie Chengze, he started changing the sheets again and didn't sleep until midnight.

But Xie Chengze rolled directly into his arms to sleep, which felt really good.

After wearing it for two months, he was finally able to hug Xie Chengze again!

After checking Xie Chengze's pulse and making sure that Xie Chengze was fine, Lu Yanzhou went to sleep with peace of mind, and when he woke up the next day, Xie Chengze hadn't woken up yet.

He got up and got out of bed, and went out to wash the sheets that were soiled yesterday.

He usually washes things for Changfeng, but these...he should do it himself.

Lu Rong was woken up by her son early in the morning. After feeding her baby, she went out with her baby in her arms and saw her younger brother washing the sheets.

"Didn't you just put it on yesterday? Why did you wash it again?" Lu Rong asked.

There is no one around... Lu Yanzhou said: "I am a bit of a beast."

Lu Rong: "..." She remembered the last time she suspected her brother had something to do with Xie Chengze, but her brother said that she was not such a beast anymore.

So now, her brother really gave the prince to...

Those young ladies in the small hall were all beaten and scolded, and they had to submit to others in order to make a living. The crown prince has a noble status, how could he be willing?

The prince likes her brother so much?

Lu Rong didn't know that some people liked to be in the lower position, and now she just thought that the prince must love her younger brother very much.

It's just that her younger brother did this... How will he face the prince in the future?

You must know that they have already started to murder Jinshang, he is the prince's own father!

Lu Yanzhou said: "Seventh Sister, I will follow the Prince when he returns to Beijing today, and I will stay by the Prince's side in the future. I will leave the matter here to you."

Before Lu Yanzhou stayed at Jingning Temple, it was because he wanted to accumulate merit and do other things.

Now that he has almost done those things, he can naturally return to Beijing.

In the past, he had no reason to follow Xie Chengze, but now...he has to follow in a shameless manner.

At worst, he started crying just like Xie Chengze did last night, he didn't believe that he was like this, Xie Chengze could still not take him away.

He can also take advantage of the opportunity to learn about Xie Chengze's identity, and then help Xie Chengze more.

"The prince wants you to follow?" Lu Rong asked.

Lu Yanzhou said: "He will listen to me."

Lu Rong thought so too, the prince even did this kind of thing for her younger brother, and if his younger brother wanted to follow, he would naturally agree: "Be careful...he is not in good health."

"I will." Lu Yanzhou said.

Lu Rong could only leave with a heavy heart.

On the other side, Xie Chengze was also thinking about how to take Lu Yanzhou away.

It was inevitable that Lu Yanzhou would go to King Rui, and he would put Lu Yanzhou under his nose.

It's just... Lu Yanzhou has a lot of things to do, most of them are unwilling to go back to the East Palace with him, and he doesn't want Lu Yanzhou to hate him...

Just thinking about something, Zhou Xueya came.

As soon as Zhou Xueya came in, he saw Xie Chengze's face flushed red: "Your Highness, you look good today."

Xie Chengze: "..."

Zhou Xueya said again: "Your Highness, are you going back today?"

"I want to go back... Zhou Xueya, you arrange someone to come over later and call me Prince," Xie Chengze said, "It's time for me to reveal my identity."

He wants to reveal his identity and take Lu Yanzhou away by the way!
