In Beet Lane, two more carriages came successively.
The car was about to stop, and Ji Hong got down before Duan Ming could get off the horse stool. There was only a half-worn door in front of him, and he didn't doubt that there was another place. He pushed the door open and walked into the courtyard. .
Two warriors guarding the gate stopped him for a while, and after seeing the King Yue who followed him waved his hand, he nodded and ordered to let go.
Ji Hong kicked the door open with one foot. In the room as big as a palm, a thick layer of dust had settled on the kang. Not to mention people, even a mouse had never been seen, and the exquisite wooden box in the center of the room was very eye-catching. And weird. That box was indeed much larger than ordinary wooden boxes, but if it was going to hold a person, it would be impossible to be very comfortable, and at this time there was no human voice in the box.
The person he held on top of his heart was packed in a box like a cargo, and he didn't know what to do—Ji Hong's eyes shrank slightly, and his anger was instantly aroused.
But he also knew that this was not the time to settle accounts with Yan Chang, so he reached out to open the box.
Yan Chang stepped up, pressed the box with a thud, and squinted at him, saying: "Little prince, this thing has been stored in my place for more than half a month. I have appraised it for you inside and out, and it feels very good. It's really a good thing. I put it on the head of the bed day and night, and I can't bear to leave it when I sleep, and now I'm reluctant to part with it... Young Master Ji, you should cherish it. "
There are words in his words, and the meaning is quite deep, and the weight of each word is just right. He is also a man, and he understands a man's self-esteem deeply. He is not willing to give up things that he can't keep, and he has to trample and provoke them.
But Ji Hong had no trouble in his eyes, he just brushed Yan Chang's hand away, and said, "I don't need King Yue to worry about my things."
The top of the box was lifted abruptly, revealing the shocking contents inside—on the bright red soft silk brocade, there was a young man bowed. Although his clothes were luxurious, his chin was obviously much sharper, and his eyes were tight at this time Closed, unable to wake up from a deep sleep, and seemed to be disturbed by the movement outside, his brows were slightly furrowed, cute and heart-wrenching.
If it weren't for the hand that was pressing on the edge of the box with blue veins, it would be difficult for others to see the ups and downs of emotions only from the face of the eldest son of the Ji family, but the room became cold in an instant, and even Yan Yan Chang also felt a killing intent in an instant. Although he knew that Ji Shuluan was not good at martial arts, his right hand subconsciously touched the saber at his waist. But in just a split second, Ji Hong suppressed all the hostility in his body, and there was a layer of tenderness on that expressionless face.
Seeing him half kneeling by the box, Yan Chang reached in and touched the boy's face, and said softly, "Jinnian, it's time to wake up."
After calling so lightly and softly several times, the boy in the box slowly opened his eyes and blinked blankly.
Yu Jinnian is used to the state of not knowing where he is when he wakes up, but more often he thinks that he is dreaming. After all, there is light in front of his eyes, and he can hear the voice that seems to be Ji Hong, so this dream is so beautiful, so beautiful for him unwilling to wake up. It's just that he was stuck in this position for too long, his hands and feet were numb, he didn't realize that he was in the box, so he raised his head suddenly, Ji Hong's eyes were quick and his hand quickly reached down, and it was placed on the back of his head, so he didn't make a sound hit the wall of the box.
Seeing that he was already awake, Ji Hong didn't tell him to go back to sleep, and took advantage of the situation to support his head with one hand and put his arm behind his shoulder to help him up.
Yu Jinnian hummed lazily, opened his eyes to see who was disturbing his sleep, but after taking a look, he still felt that he was in a dream, but his body was tilted towards him, and his hands were naturally opened. It was a gesture of hugging, intimacy and coquettishness, unscrupulous and calm. When he opened his hand, Ji Hong would pick it up, never failing.
He lay on Ji Hong's shoulder, without opening his eyes, but softly begged for mercy: "Ah Hong, I'm so sleepy..."
"...Go to sleep." Ji Hong was soft-hearted, and sighed, seeing that he dared not open his eyes, and after thinking about it for a while, he knew what was going on. He was concerned about the young man's body, and he didn't have time to trouble Yan Chang, so he turned his head to signal Duan Ming took an outer shirt from the car, and covered the person in his arms well.
Yu Jinnian twisted his body, Xu was not feeling well, Ji Hong changed his posture, he was finally soothed, and let others hold him honestly.
How gentle can a person be, how obedient can a person be
Yan Chang worked hard for more than half a month, counting all the organs and methods. In order to please Yu Jinnian, all kinds of things, all kinds of dishes from the north and the south, were collected and put in front of Yu Jinnian's eyes, but he didn't even look at them, he only opened his mouth to swear, and he scolded all kinds of tricks, and he didn't repeat a word for more than ten days. Like thorny thorns. Such an honest and well-behaved Yu Jinnian, who would hug someone and whisper, he had never seen, let alone experienced such lingering.
Yu Jinnian fell asleep in his arms again, gradually losing his strength. When Ji Hong took him out of the box, he bumped into somewhere, only heard Yu Jinnian groaned softly, he didn't dare to move immediately, and checked him briefly, only to notice a circle of red spots on his wrist. Imprints, the scars are embellished on the white and tender skin, and some skin has been broken deep inside.
Ji Hong's face turned cold, he was completely cold from the inside out, but his movements did not have the slightest impetuosity, they were extremely gentle. Duan Ming was going to pick him up, but he refused to use human hands, first took out the plain silk handkerchief from his bosom, carefully wrapped it around his wrist, and tied a knot lightly, then gritted his teeth and picked him up, saying nothing. He hurriedly walked past Yan Chang.
The King of Yue stood by the door, insisting on touching him, "Ji Shuluan."
Ji Hong stopped in his tracks.
Yan Chang said: "It's just a pet servant. If they know that this pet servant is taken back from me, do you think the Ji family will let you play this unshakable trick?"
Ji Hong turned his head slightly, and said, "Ji's family, I'm in charge."
What a big tone.
Yan Chang asked, "What about my people?"
Ji Hong stopped answering, bowed and carried the boy into the car, and drove away.
From Beet Lane to Li Guogong's mansion, Yu Jinnian lay on Ji Hong's lap in just a moment, showing no sign of waking up. Ji Hong slowly stroked the boy's hair, and pulled up the clothes that had slipped from him. pull.
Duan Ming asked outside the car curtain: "My lord, the princess and Master Zhang..."
Passing by a noisy market outside the window, there was a lot of voices and yelling, Ji Hong turned his head to take a look, raised his hand and put down the bamboo curtain, which blocked the noise and the dazzling sunlight in the afternoon. The young man who was sleeping on his lap whimpered twice, his fingers squirmed, Ji Hong stretched out his hand to grab him, comforted him gently, and saw the white silk wrapped around Yu Jinnian's wrist again.
So he said lightly: "When Jinnian wakes up, when will people let go. But since they are here, don't tell them to come here in vain. Since he touches my people, don't blame me for wanting to touch his people."
Duan Ming answered yes, he knew what he was thinking.
—
At the gate of Kanghe Courtyard, Qing Huan had been waiting restlessly for a long time, seeing Young Master Ji walking quickly with someone in his arms, she immediately greeted him. Seeing Yu Jinnian with his head down, his face ugly, and leaning against Mr. Ji's arms, he seemed to be even weaker, so he couldn't help crying, thinking how thin he had to be so that he could even hug Mr. Ji.
"Go get some warm water."
When Qing Huan heard this, she immediately came to her senses and ran to the small kitchen to boil water.
Ji Hong carried him back to the bedroom, Yu Jinnian still didn't wake up, but because the boy's breathing was very long and smooth, not sick, so he suppressed his temper and patiently waited for him to get enough sleep. At this moment, Qing Huan came back in a hurry, put the water basin beside the bed, and handed over a soft towel.
Ji Hong dipped a soft handkerchief in warm water, wiped his hands and face with him, and stroked the face he hadn't seen for a long time. He had indeed lost weight, and now all the cheeks raised in the south of the Yangtze River have returned. The more he sleeps, the more he sleeps. Silently, Ji Hong blamed himself more and more in his heart. Fortunately, the man came back at this time, he held Yu Jinnian's hand, and ordered his servants to come in, put down all the curtains around the windows, and told Guan Kang and the gate of the courtyard that no one is allowed to come in today.
The sun turned to Shen Mo, and the sky had gradually faded.
Duan Ming came in and saw that Ji Hong was still guarding him motionless, sitting stiffly like a stone statue, he opened his mouth, wanted to speak but dared not speak, hesitated for a long while, and finally spoke out, saying that it was a message from Yue Wang's mansion from outside the mansion Boy, ask the prince when he will be able to do what he promised.
Ji Hong was holding the ointment in his hand, and was applying it to Yu Jinnian's injured wrist. His hands were usually cold, but now he found them again, and his fingertips were so afraid that there was no temperature at all, so he stretched out his hands in hot water and soaked them for a while. Soak, warm up before touching Yu Jinnian. At this time, after hearing Duan Ming's words, coldness resurfaced in his heart, he grabbed the used silk and threw it heavily on Duan Ming, saying coldly, "Tell him to wait!"
Duan Ming lowered his head, retreated embarrassingly, and passed the original words to the other party. It is conceivable that the boy's face turned green.
After more than half an hour, the sun sank to the corner of the eaves, and it was almost unbearable.
Only then did Yu Jinnian wake up leisurely, and the first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was a curtain he had never seen before. The room was dim and yellow, and the air was filled with the faint smell of white sandalwood mixed with inkstone. He suddenly felt the coolness on his wrist, he lifted it up and took a closer look, and found that the silver chain was gone, and the wounds he had struggled out of breath had been well medicated and wrapped with a thin layer of white silk.
The field of vision was dim, and I couldn't see anything clearly.
He sat up and saw a new set of clothes beside his pillow, with the jeweled scimitar on top of the clothes. He remembered that he heard Ji Hong's voice before he fell asleep, and realized that it was not a dream. But there was no one in the room, and there was something tight on his body, he touched it, it was the arrowhead silver piece that he had tucked in his arms before, so he stuffed it under the pillow, turned over and got out of bed, and walked out barefoot, When I got to the table, I picked up the teapot and shook it. When I heard the sound of water in it, I raised my head and poured it into my mouth.
It was cold tea, and he drank it until his chin was wet, and then he quenched his thirst happily, then dropped the teapot and went out to look for someone.
The medicine powder is datura, which is scopolamine, as long as it is not taken in excess, it is not a serious and harmful thing. It is often used to treat motion sickness, but it often has the side effect of pupil dilation, which can make people's vision blurred. He had been in the dumb room with dim light before, and he felt the same when he saw more or less, so it was fine. Now that he came out, he realized that his vision was very blurred. Everything in front of him was like a block of color, and even the threshold under his feet was blurry. You have to carefully identify it many times before you dare to stretch your feet.
But in the end he was stumbled, and almost fell to his knees when his knees were bent.
He was lying on the ground in an indecent posture, and saw a person hurrying over from the corridor in the distance, he didn't look at his face, only saw a pair of soap boots, he thought in his heart that he shouldn't be too embarrassing, but before he got up, he was picked up by the collar Pulled up. When the man was close to him, Yu Jinnian smelled a faint scent of incense, so before he could stand still and his knees were still hurting, he grinned like a fool.
Ji Hong lifted him up, just because he was worried that he fell, and when he heard him laughing like this, he couldn't help but said: "What are you laughing at, did you fall stupidly?"
Yu Jinnian said: "How happy!"
Ji Hong ignored him, carried him back to the room, put him on the bed, and went out again, originally to bring in the food plate that was put on the lintel of the stool just now, just entering the room, he saw the young man again. Wanting to get out of bed, he immediately walked over in three steps at a time, pushed him back to the couch, and reprimanded him softly: "Just woke up, what are you going to do now? Why are these clothes wet?"
Yu Jinnian looked up at him, but didn't speak.
Ji Hong turned his head and took out the clean obscene clothes, peeled off the dirty ones on his body, and put on new ones. During this time, Yu Jinnian sat cross-legged, staring at him intently. When he turned to the left, his eyes also turned to the left. When he turned to the right, his eyeballs turned to the right, and finally he squinted hard, and turned forward to grab his clothes: "Stand, come closer, don't bully me so I can't see clearly."
I didn't pull it this time, because I lost my sense of balance and almost fell off the bed.
"Why can't the eyes see clearly?" Ji Hong grabbed him again, and the string he had loosened became tense again, "I'll go to the palace to ask the imperial doctor Liang."
"No need." Yu Jinnian finally grabbed him, "I'm a doctor myself, I know what's going on, it's okay, it'll be fine tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Come here, I just want to see if you're okay?" Ji Hong frowned He got closer, and was grabbed by Yu Jinnian. Now he finally saw clearly, and saw his own reflection in the other person's pupils, so he became silly again, and muttered, "It's not a dream..."
Even a heart of stone would be melted to pieces by him, Ji Hong couldn't bear it, knelt down on the bed, immediately buried his head and kissed those pouty lips, he restrained himself and tried his best to be as gentle as possible However, he couldn't bear the fact that someone who had just escaped was restless and took the initiative to show his hospitality, which completely shattered his self-respecting shell, so he simply followed his heart and went in for some flirting.
Half a month of parting, all resorted to a sticky kiss.
"It's nice to have light..."
Panting, Yu Jinnian backed away, and couldn't help turning his head to look at the setting sun slightly seeping through the window, his voice was hoarse: "I didn't know what it was like to be afraid of the dark before, but today I realize how terrifying it is."
Ji Hong turned around to serve the soup bowl. It was stewed pigeon with wolfberry just taken from the stove. Hearing this, he couldn't help but paused for a moment. He raised the soup to let it cool before bringing it to his mouth, and said warmly: " From now on, the lights at home will not be turned off. Come, eat something, I was still ordering food in Xifeng Building, seeing you look like this, let's drink something light. If you want to eat, I will send people to ask for new ones when I am ready tomorrow. of."
Yu Jinnian didn't refute, he opened his mouth to hold the spoon in his mouth, and started staring at him again.
Ji Hong sighed lightly: "Don't tire your eyes too much, no matter how bad tomorrow is, you must ask the imperial physician to see it."
After drinking a bowl of soup, his face turned rosy. Ji Hong asked someone to come in and remove the food plate, and replaced it with a few sticks of thick wax that could burn until dawn the next day. The monster gnawed at the taste of torture, but he didn't think that the person he cared about the most would experience the same thing one day—thinking of this, Ji Hong's heart sank.
The two were lying on their sides, each under the same quilt. Seeing that he was silent, Yu Jinnian knew what he was thinking, and immediately entangled him: "Come here, see?"
Ji Hong was puzzled: "What are you looking at?"
Yu Jinnian pointed to his chest: "Here, there is a cluster of small flames, which can burn by themselves, and are very bright." After thinking for a while, he added, "Well... if it meets someone it likes, it will still burn to death more prosperous."
Ji Hong was amused by him again, and followed his words: "Is there such a thing?"
Yu Jinnian moved forward, crawled into Ji Hong's bed involuntarily, grabbed Ji Hong's palm while groping, pressed it against his chest, and deliberately lowered his voice, as if there was a small flame that was afraid of being disturbed. In his heart: "If you touch it, is it more prosperous?"
Ji Hong looked at him deeply, and was silent for a long time before he gave a vague "hmm".
He is the one who is wounded, he is the one who is taken captive, and he is the one who comforts others in the end.
Ji Hong sat all night, thinking a lot in his mind, until five o'clock, when the sky was bright, he quietly put on his clothes and got out of bed. When he pushed the door and went out, Duan Ming was already waiting in front of the door. The young man was sleeping upside down, black and white were indistinguishable, he fell asleep again and again when it was close to the fourth watch, he put on his clothes, and whispered to Duan Ming: "He will wake up later, prepare the meal first, and ask Qing Huan to come and take care of him. Find a way to remove the threshold, and send people to be on guard when entering and exiting, watch out for his eyes. Also, the door of the Kanghe Hospital is not allowed to open until I come back."
Duan Ming responded, and Ji Hong took a jade palace plaque from him, looked back at Yu Jinnian, made a decision in his heart, and prepared a sedan chair to enter the palace.
