When Xia Houlin said this, Shen Jue understood. Indeed, Xia Houlin had always dined with Lianxiang and the others, and there was no reason why he was the only one who recruited others to be safe. Qiu Lubai only had a trembling voice, and the source of these seven and a half months could only be the residual poison in his body.
The most important point is that it is not yet half July, and it is not even the time when the poison has developed, but Xia Houlin's disease has become menacing. There is only one explanation. Tea, the poison has not been solved, and the toxicology has also changed.
Shen Jue frowned, and said, "How can your father cleanse his son? He sent you out of Jialan. I thought he had some conscience. How could I give you the medicine without trying it out?" She tucked it on his waist and said, "Forget it, don't think about it, I still have a recipe here to cure you. Look, if I give you medicine, you will be fine, right? Just drink the medicine on time and take good care of it. , keep you alive and alive than ever."
Xia Houlin nodded slightly, he was still vacant, and he seemed to be struggling to move a little, his face and lips were bleak and pale. Shen Jue felt distressed when he saw it, and rubbed his hands in his heart, "Are your hands and feet still numb?"
"No numb," Xia Houlin held him back and smiled, "Young master, you are worried. But fortunately you are a man, and there are no rules of widowhood. If I have three strengths and two weaknesses, you will find another good person. It’s better to marry a wife, and it’s serious to have a family and a baby.”
Shen Jue was originally hurt, but was suddenly blacked out by Xia Houlin's words, and hated: "Xiahoulin, you should really be a woman. The former prince of Empress Zhenshun passed away, so he took the initiative to ask for help. Emperor Nafei, he chose a dozen or so young and beautiful girls to enter the palace. Do you want to follow her example and gain a reputation as Zhenshun?"
Xiahou scratched his head and said, "That's not..."
Shen Jue glanced at him, "You don't want to be gentle and gentle with you, you have to make me angry and scold me. I'll take two girls in the room tomorrow, and hang around in front of your eyes to see if you're happy or something."
Xia Houlin hurriedly stroked his back and gave him Shunqi'er, "I'll just say it casually, don't be angry."
Shen Jue was so angry that she couldn't speak, she turned her head and ignored him.
There was silence for a while, and the wind came in from outside the moon hole, blowing the silk yarn. Xia Houlin was still in a trance. When he saw that his hands were full of blood, he really thought he was going to see the King of Hell. Suddenly, he felt that his heart was still water and everything was at rest. But to be able to die in Shen Jue's arms, his destination is the best, and he has no regrets at all. Thinking of this, he recalled what happened last night. In the lamp shadow, Shen Jue kissed him fiercely, as if in a dream, and he couldn't tell if it was real or just a hallucination before his death.
The faint light from the window came in, and the room was bright. Shen Jue sat in front of him, her long black hair was not tied, it draped down from her shoulders, and the jagged ends fell on the back of his hand, gently flicking it, as if scratching on the tip of her heart. Xiahou Lin clung to the end of his hair, leaned over in a ghostly manner, and asked softly, "Master, can I kiss you?"
Shen Jue was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at him, he got close, Shen Jue could see the inconspicuous redness on his wheat-colored cheeks.
Shen Jue watched him quietly for a while, without saying a word, and slowly closed his eyes. Xia Houlin pinned his long hair behind his ears, revealing his cold white cheeks, facing the dawn, a layer of white brilliance was plated on it, and the white jade was flawless.
Such a good man, how could he fall in love with him? Xia Houlin thought. He felt that God must be dazed and smashed such a big blessing on his head.
But Shen Jue became impatient, opened his eyes and asked, "Are you kissing or not?"
"Dear, dear!" Xiahou Lin said hurriedly.
Shen Jue closed his eyes again, although his expression was impatient, the curvature of his lips revealed his emotions. A few flying swallows flew past the window, and black silhouettes passed over their heads. In that shadow, Xiahou leaned forward and dropped a kiss on Shen Jue's cheek.
He didn't kiss hard, but he had a real warmth. Shen Jue definitely felt it. It was like a gentle brand that he would remember for the rest of his life. He opened his eyes and laughed, his eyes flashing like spring, Xia Houlin also lowered his head and smiled, his eyebrows and eyes stretched, and the blade of his blade turned into a river.
Suddenly, there was a bang on the outside of the floor covering, the smiles of the two of them froze, and they turned their heads to see Lian Xiang and Shen Wenxing standing there dumbfounded, with the soup under their feet splashed on the ground. Shen Wenxing had already noticed it, and he followed Shen Jue every day. He knew a little about Shen Jue's thoughts about Xiahou Lin, but it was his godfather's private matter, so he didn't dare to ask more. Lian Xiang didn't know anything about it, she just thought that Shen Jue and Xia Houlin were brothers and sisters.
It's really that the impact of this scene is too great, whether they know it or not, the two of them are instantly stunned when they see it. It was Shen Wenxing who reacted first, seeing that his godfather's face was not very good, he hurriedly pulled Lianxiang out and went to bring a bowl of soup medicine, and by the way, let the doctor come in to give Xia Houlin a pulse.
The doctors rolled their eyelids again, checked the tongue coating, and they all said that they had improved, so Xia Houlin should take the medicine on time, and don't worry about it recently. Seeing that Xia Houlin had a runny nose, he prescribed a prescription for paratyphoid fever, and by the way, helped him change the wound medicine on his forehead, and then retired.
When Shen Wenxing sent the soup again, Shen Jue took the silver spoon and fed it into Xia Houlin's mouth. That soup was so bitter that it was even more torturous if it was spoonful. But Shen Jue was very happy to feed him, so Xiahou Rin endured it and let him finish feeding him spoon by spoon.
Due to Xia Houlin's illness, Shen Jue didn't go to the morning court, but he couldn't delay in criticizing Hong. Whether it was Jialan or Liaodong Tuman, he was waiting for him to discuss it. Since Xia Houlin is not in serious trouble, he has to go back to the palace. But he just confessed his heart, and before he had time to talk to each other, he also wanted to know how Xia Houlin liked him, how much he liked him, and if he was like him, once he was determined, he would never look back.
However, in the end, he couldn't cope with the complicated business affairs, so he sighed helplessly, Shen Jue turned around, took the Bodhi seed placed on the small kang table and wrapped it around Xiahou Rong's hand, saying: "You stay at home, you are not allowed to go out, and you are not allowed to go out. Strike the iron and rest well."
Xia Houlin hesitated, "Actually, I'm already well. I'll go back to the yamen after noon. I haven't found it yet, and I haven't found out about Jialan. I..."
"You rest, what are you doing when everyone is sick? There are so many people in the East Factory, not a few of you. I have been investigating the darkrooms in various cellars in the city these few days. As long as Tang Shiqi is not sent out of the city, he is dead. It is life, and there will be results in a few days." Shen Jue said.
Now entering and leaving the city must be inspected by the soldiers and horses of the five cities, and even the funeral coffin has to be pried open to confirm that it is a dead body lying inside. The five-city soldier Masina didn't move, so the Seventeenth should still be in the city. Xia Houlin sighed, "Okay, but you have to tell me immediately if you have news."
"Okay, take your medicine on time, and I'll leave Shen Wenxing here to take care of you."
Xia Houlin was helpless, "I'm not a child, and isn't there sister Lianxiang?"
Speaking of Lianxiang, Shen Jue had a headache, "Lianxiang, please tell her, if it doesn't make sense, I'll come back tonight."
Xia Houlin nodded.
Shen Jue stood up and walked a few steps. When he reached the edge of the landscape screen, he fell back and hugged Xia Houlin tightly, "You are mine, right?"
Xia Houlin laughed, "It's yours, it's all yours."
Only then was Shen Jue satisfied, he went behind the screen to change into his official uniform, let Xia Houlin help him tie his hair and wear a net towel, and finally adjusted his black gauze hat in front of the mirror. Xia Houlin was used to gadgets such as kites and lanterns, and he was also good at tying his hair. Looking at the two people in the Linghua mirror, it really looks like a husband and wife.
Shen Jue returned to the palace, and Shen Wenxing came in to clean up the soup bowl. Xia Houlin was sitting at the crescent table outside drinking water. When Shen Wenxing saw him, he stepped forward respectfully and shouted, "Mother."
Before Xia Houlin had time to swallow the water from his throat, he sprayed all the water on Shen Wenxing's face, Shen Wenxing wiped his face, shook his sleeves, and said, "Why do you still vomit?"
"What was your name just now?" Xia Houlin suspected that he had heard it wrong.
"Mother," Shen Wenxing wiped the table with a rag, "you are godfather's counterpart, aren't you my mother?" He thought for a while and said, "It seems that something is wrong, but it's also called your father. That's not right, aren't the two fathers messing around?"
This fellow is only five years old of little Shen Jue, and it is enough to recognize Shen Jue as a father. Xia Houlin sat on the step bed and took off his boots, and said, "Come on, what was it called before, what is it called now."
Just when she was about to lie down and go to sleep again, Lianxiang came in and called out, "Xiao Lin."
He was stunned for a moment, and saw Lianxiang standing behind the curtain, hurriedly letting her in. While hurriedly getting off his feet and sitting down on the Luohan bed, Shen Wenxing carried Zhang Tuzi to Lianxiang to sit on. The incense burner on the kang table wafted white smoke, and the jingling bells by the window rang. Xia Houlin and Lianxiang stared at each other for a long time, no one said a word, the room was filled with silence, embarrassingly tight.
Lian Xiang was the old man in the house. When Shen Jue was not at home, Lian Xiang was in charge of all the affairs of the house. After so many years of hard work for Shen Jue, he and Xia Houlin must know about her. Xiahou's mouth was so stupid that he hadn't figured out how to start, but Lianxiang had already come over.
It's okay to be so embarrassed, Xia Houlin coughed lightly, and was about to speak when Lian Xiang spoke first. She took out a bunch of keys from her sleeve and said with a smile, "Ah, I should have figured out this a long time ago. Young master Baba has been looking for you for so long, how could he only see you as a brother? You don't know When I didn't find you, the young master often went to the yard left by your mother to stay in a daze. Sometimes he sat under the porch for an hour. If he didn't have thoughts about you, why would he be so thinking about it? "
Xia Houlin was a little stunned. Na Na opened his mouth and asked, "Young master... Did you have any interest in me at that time?"
Lianxiang let out a long sigh and said, "And back then, do you remember that you were caught in Liuzhou by a man surnamed Liu and escorted to be beheaded. As soon as the news reached the capital, the young master didn't care about anything, he just rode a horse. Out of Beijing. Later I found out that he went to Liuzhou to rescue you. It took seventeen days to run from the capital to Liuzhou, and I don’t know how many horses died.”
"What's more," Shen Wenxing smacked his tongue on the side, "Old thief Wei blamed his godfather for leaving without permission. The godfather knelt from noon to dusk to keep the factory supervisor's black gauze hat."
Xia Houlin stared blankly at the ground, his nose slowly filled with unspeakable grief. The situation from many years ago was vividly floating in front of his eyes. He still remembered that he was rushing to death. During the fight, the man in black mask rushed out of the turbulent stream like a sharp arrow and stretched out his pale and cold hand to him. He couldn't believe it at the time, and only later found out that it was Shen Jue, but he never knew how much Shen Jue paid to save him.
How could he be so virtuous, how could he be so favored by Shen Jue
A bunch of brass keys came in in his sight, he raised his head and saw Lianxiang smiling with tears in his eyes, "You kid, you jumped when you were a child, who knows what the young master thinks, and he actually likes you, a monkey. Anyway, the young master has suffered too much, as long as he does what he wants, I will be happy. This is the key to the family, and I will give it to you from today. "
Xia Houlin shook his head and pushed the key back, "I'm stupid, I can't do this job, Sister Lianxiang, you can take care of it." He pulled Shen Wenxing over and pressed him to sit on the tumbler, "He I used to tell me what happened in the past without any pain or itching. Today, when you talk about it, I realize that he has lied to me so much. I just have nothing to do today. Sister Lianxiang, Eunuch Shen, please tell me, How much has the young master experienced in these years? How much hardship he has endured, how much he has endured, I have to know all about it."
