Li Yanqiu seemed to sense something. He was silent for a moment beside the carriage, and then said, "Ben Xiao, if you change the owner, will you be disobedient?"
Ben Xiao snorted, and Li Yanqiu shook the reins and said, "Drive!"
Ben Xiao moved, and after a while, he turned around reluctantly and trotted a few steps along the long street. Xie You and Cai Yan both laughed.
"Go back to the palace!" Li Yanqiu said loudly, and said to Wu again: "I borrowed to ride for a few days, and I will pay you back later. Seeing your injury, I must not be able to ride."
Wu Du nodded, and Xie You joked again: "Could it be that he was thrown by this fierce horse."
Everyone laughed, even Li Yanqiu laughed, and Cai Yan said to Wu Du again, "Take care of your injuries."
Li Yanqiu rode his horse to leave, Ben Xiao ran up, a gust of wind blew and rolled up the maple leaves, Li Yanqiu rode the horse and rushed towards the imperial city, a bright yellow cloak flying, reflecting the bloody maple flowers in the sky together.
Wu Du watched Li Yanqiu leave before turning around and getting into the car.
"I'm sorry." Duan Ling said to Wu Du.
Wu Du was thinking, and when he heard this, he asked inexplicably, "What?"
Duan Ling felt that Xie You and Li Yanqiu were very rude and sarcastic towards Wu Du. He was very sad to hear that, not to mention that Wu Du suffered such an injury for himself. In the final analysis, the Li family owed him. Wu Du understood, suddenly felt amused, shook his head, and said, "What's the matter."
Duan Ling never expected that Wu Du had become so open-minded now. Before, when Changliu-jun ridiculed him, he would be angry for a long time, but now he seems to be indifferent.
Wu Du leaned his elbows beside the car and looked at the yellow leaves along the street outside. Duan Ling walked over and leaned on his shoulder from behind. Wu Du turned his head and said, "Your Majesty just now, didn't he see you?"
Duan Ling shook his head, recalling that brief moment, and indeed looked at Li Yanqiu, and the two of them separated their eyes after a moment's contact.
"What kind of person is he?" Duan Ling asked.
"He is weak and often gets sick." Wu Duchao Duan Ling said, "People who are sick all day long have more or less temper."
The autumn sun was scorching high, and Li Yanqiu was stationed outside the Matthew Hall.
"Long live my emperor!" The Black Armored Army was overwhelmed, kneeling on one knee.
Xie You and Cai Yan came slowly, but Li Yanqiu stopped and went out for a while. For a moment just now, he seemed to feel something.
"It's hard work," Li Yanqiu said.
The Black Armored Army spread out like a tide, making way for Li Yanqiu to enter the main hall. The Jiangdu Palace has been through many storms, and now it has been renovated and renovated, which is even more luxurious than Xichuan. The eunuch stepped forward and took off his cloak for Li Yanqiu, who then walked along the corridor.
Zheng Yan and Lang Junxia also arrived. Li Yanqiu passed outside the East Palace and glanced inside. Seeing that Lang Junxia was sitting under the corridor playing the flute, Li Yanqiu passed by, but he did not stand up and salute.
"I'm tired too." Li Yanqiu ignored Lang Junxia, but said to Cai Yan, "Go and rest."
Cai Yan followed behind and said, "Tomorrow is auspicious, and I have to make sacrifices to the sky, so my uncle should rest early."
Li Yanqiu replied: "Although the family has changed, the medicine is still unavoidable. You can rest assured."
Cai Yan and the servants of the East Palace respectfully sent Li Yanqiu away.
In the Changqiu Palace, Mu Jinzhi was drawing his eyebrows in front of the mirror, and the clothes and hairpins were also delivered, and they were checking boxes one by one.
"Who is provoking Your Majesty again?" Mu Jinzhi looked at Li Yanqiu from the mirror, raised his brows, and said with a smile.
"No one provokes me." Li Yanqiu stood behind Mu Jinzhi and replied, "The queen has such fiery eyes, but there are times when she misses her."
Mu Jinzhi put down his hairpin and said casually: "The matter of the prince's family has been ordered today. After the scientific examination, some people will be elected for the prince to choose carefully."
Li Yanqiu said politely: "It's the Empress Cheng's troubles."
The husband and wife didn't talk for a while, Li Yanqiu walked out again after speaking, and Mu Jinzhi gave him a blank look in the mirror.
Li Yanqiu returned to his bedroom, facing the clear sky outside the Xuanshi Hall.
Zheng Yan was sitting under the porch, asking someone to open the box and find his wine.
"Zheng Yan." Li Yanqiu frowned slightly, "Why are you still here?"
"The prince dislikes me, Your Majesty." Zheng Yan said politely, "With Wuluohoumu here, I don't have to be scorned. Wouldn't it be more pleasant if we don't see each other?"
"As soon as I saw Wuluohoumu, I had a nameless fire in my heart." Li Yanqiu also said to Zheng Yan kindly, "The four major assassins, all crooked and cracked, now seem to be the most unsatisfactory. Wu Du, he is more Zhou Zheng than you, I always wonder if Wu Du gave you some poison, one or two, and now they are all like this."
Even Zheng Yan was scolded for this. The two brothers of the Li family, one was sharp-edged and the other had a needle hidden in cotton. Zheng Yan had already figured out Li Yanqiu's temper and knew that he was angry.
Zheng Yan immediately said: "Your Majesty forgives the sin, and this minister will go to the East Palace."
After Zheng Yan left, Li Yanqiu let out a long sigh.
"Your Majesty, it's time to drink the medicine." The palace maid came up with the medicine, Li Yanqiu took it, drank it, and threw it out of the courtyard.
"Wow!" Duan Ling finally arrived at his new home.
The Xiangfu specially allocated a yard to Wu Du and Duan Ling, which is separated by an alley from the main residence. Compared with the secluded courtyard in Xichuan before, the new home is much larger. There are four bedrooms and two entrances, one side is a wall, and there is a backyard for them to support. Ma, and arranged for a master and two servants to serve.
There is a rockery and a pond in the courtyard. The back of the pond is full of bamboos, and there is a peach tree on the side. The fine water flows into the pond and flows out from the winding channel. The bamboo pipes are placed on the courtyard wall. , was brought from the Prime Minister's mansion.
"Master Xiang asked the two of you to stay here first after they come back." The chief said, "I wash my body and I will take care of the two tonight."
"Go back, you don't have to wait."
Wu Du said to the principal in the front yard that Duan Ling was looking left and right in the room. The new home was covered with a screen and the windows were slanted, reminding him of Qionghua Courtyard. Even the furnishings were made of celadon, and there was a study for He used to read.
The boss carefully helped Wu Du in.
"Yes." The director seemed to have expected the Wu Independence Association to say that, and only stood in the courtyard, but did not leave.
Duan Ling thought for a while, and said to the chief: "Master Wu's family has secrets in the rivers and lakes, and there are too many poisons. I am afraid that you will be hurt unintentionally, so there is no need to stay in the courtyard. If there is an order, I will pass it on to the Xiangfu. Let's go back."
The director nodded, bowed to Duan Ling and Wu Du, and said goodbye.
It is convenient to speak when there are no outsiders around, otherwise you will not even know how he died.
"There's still money!" Duan Ling said from the next door, "two hundred taels of gold!"
Duan Ling had already reported the treasure to Mu Kuangda at Tongguan. Now that there is a golden mountain, I don't know what Mu Kuangda will do with it, but if it is used to spend, it is enough to buy a city. This reward is nothing.
But Duan Ling was still quite happy, at least he didn't have to eat pancakes again.
Wu Du sat in the room and said, "I'll go out and buy what I want to eat."
Duan Ling said, "Sit down and don't move."
Duan Ling came over with the quilt, let Wu Du move it, and put another pillow on his bed. Wu Du looked at Duan Ling and said, "You sleep in this room, I sleep on the ground, right under the bed, and I'll watch over you."
"Aren't you afraid that I would get out of bed in the middle of the night to drink water and step on you to death?" Duan Ling said with a smile.
Wu Du remembered what he said a few months ago, and suddenly felt amused, and both of them laughed.
Wu Du said, "I'll come."
"Can you listen to me?" Duan Ling asked seriously.
"Okay." Wu Du replied, "I have to send me something to do. I'm injured, but it's not a waste."
It is really uneasy that Wu Du is being taken care of by Duan Ling. It is not because of Duan Ling's identity, but because he is so old, no one has ever treated him like this.
"Then take a shower." Duan Ling said to Wu Du.
Wu Du raised his hand, sniffed his sleeves, his face flushed, and Duan Ling went out to fetch water and take a bath.
The servants brought a big bucket over, put it in the corner room, and added hot water and cold water round by round.
"I wash it myself." Wu Du hurriedly said.
"Take off." Duan Ling said, took Wu Du's clothes, went to the backyard, threw them into a basin, soaked them in water, and went back to the room to find clean clothes. He was extremely careful and prudent in his work, and he forgot to reward him.
After a while, Duan Ling came with clean clothes, tugged his sleeves, and gave Wu Du a bath. Wu Du still had bandages on his hands, so he couldn't get water. He rubbed one hand over his body. Zhang Shuai blushed to the root of his neck.
Duan Ling pressed Wu Du and washed his whole body. Since he was injured that night, Wu Du has not taken a bath. At this time, his left hand was placed on the edge of the bucket, revealing his strong shoulder and back, and Duan Ling rubbed it.
"Don't fall in." Wu Du said, "Don't, don't, don't touch down!"
The bath tub was very large, and Duan Ling leaned halfway into it. Wu Du felt that Duan Ling was really rubbing himself in earnestly, but his hands kept stroking his body, making him almost unbearable.
Duan Ling said, "Put your legs up a bit."
Wu Du suddenly felt that Duan Ling was interesting, and he suddenly became playful. He hugged Duan Ling in one hand and dragged him in. With a loud "squeak," water splashed around the tub.
Duan Ling said angrily, "You!"
Duan Ling was soaked all over, Wu Du's face was red, he said with a smile, "You wash it, I won't wash it anymore."
Duan Ling said, "You are too dirty, don't move."
Duan Ling unbuttoned his shirt, took off his soaked clothes and trousers, and sat naked on Wu Du's thigh. Suddenly, an inexplicable feeling surged in his heart. Every time I touch Wu Du's skin, I never have the feeling I have now.
Duan Ling's face also turned red, as if back to the night when he was a child, when he saw Lang Junxia's body from the window pane, but facing Wu Du, his heartbeat was even more intense, as if there was something extremely fresh and exciting. , hiding behind a layer of veil, waiting for him at any time.
"Why don't you talk?" Wu Du came back to his senses, with one hand resting lazily on the rim of the barrel, while the other patted Duan Ling's fair shoulders and looked at him strangely.
"No... No." Duan Ling said nervously.
At that moment, Wu Du also seemed to sense something, with a smile in his eyes.
Duan Ling said "um" and buried his head in rubbing Wu Du's chest with a towel.
Footsteps came from outside the room, and the two of them stopped at the same time.
"Hey, Xiongtai, do you still owe me a glass of wine?" Zheng Yan said lazily.
Duan Ling was taken aback. He had never seen Zheng Yan before, and thought that someone from the Prime Minister's Mansion had entered the courtyard, but Wu Du put his arms around Duan Ling's waist and pulled him towards him.
Zheng Yan kept at his feet and pushed open the door of the corner room. At this moment, Wu Du hugged Duan Ling, who was completely naked, and asked him to lie down in front of him, burying his head on his shoulders.
When Zheng Yan came in, he saw Wu Du was holding a young boy, and the two took a bath together.
"Zheng Yan! Do you even wink!" Wu Du said impatiently, "Get out of here!"
Zheng Yan laughed and laughed enough, he closed the door quickly and said, "Go ahead, don't blame me, don't blame me, I really didn't expect it."
Wu Du replied: "Wait outside, stop talking nonsense."
The sound of Zheng Yan's footsteps faded away, and Duan Ling raised his head. Just now, Wu Du and Wu Du were naked and leaning against each other. He felt each other's hearts beating wildly, and their respective objects stiffened.
The two gasped for each other, Wu Du made a shush gesture, indicating to continue washing, Duan Ling swallowed and rubbed Wu Du's hair.
"Okay." Duan Ling whispered, and walked out quickly, almost slipping on the ground.
"Be careful." Wu Du hurriedly stretched out a hand, wrapped his arms around Duan Ling's waist, and asked him to stand up straight. Duan Ling quickly wiped it off, put on trousers, and the blush on his face faded. He helped Wu Du out and wiped him. When he wiped his body down to his crotch, the dry cloth touched his tall and majestic object, and the two of them blushed again.
Wu Du wrapped his robe and was able to walk. He stumbled a bit. He put on his wooden clogs and walked across the porch one step at a time, past Zheng Yan, and into the main room.
"So fast?" Zheng Yan said, "Isn't I scared of you."
Wu Du scolded Zheng Yan with swear words, and Duan Ling was startled in the corner room. It was the first time he heard Wu Du swear swearing. After a while, the sound of clogs, Wu Du slowly came over again, handed Duan Ling clean clothes, and motioned him to change.
After cleaning up, the servant came to take away the tub, Wu Du's hair was still wet, wrapped in a bathrobe, bare feet, leaning on the couch, and then began to entertain Zheng Yan.
