Only then did Qin Song remember,
Princess Chu had been in Qin for four months, and there was still more than a month before the wedding. Thinking of the messy relationship between Qin Yue and Yi An, Qin Song frowned slightly,
In fact, this kind of thing..,
Not to mention in Daqin, which had always been unruly..,
Even in Southern Chu, it was not uncommon,
But Qin Song could not be like other people, who treated this as an elegant matter. He only felt extremely annoyed.
Suddenly, he sighed softly,
He came to Qin,
It had only been more than two months, but what had happened..,
Was more than in the previous ten years. Even now, when he thought of what had happened in Southern Chu..,
It was as if it had happened in a dream,
It was hazy and not real.
The carriage stopped. Qin Song got out of the carriage and knocked on the door. No one answered for a long time. The carriage had already left without waiting for him to enter,
But the young man in the same carriage got out,
He stood quietly behind him.
Qin Song frowned. "You're not leaving?"
The young man said, "His Majesty ordered me to follow you."
His tone seemed to always be so flat, without the slightest emotion.
Qin Yue had personally given the order. Whether it was surveillance or protection,
Qin Song had no room to refuse,
After a moment of silence..,
He asked, "What's your name?"
The young man was stunned for a moment, as if he felt that this question was very tricky. After a while, he said, "I used to be called Rho Minoris."
"Qin Yue's secret guard?"
The young man's pupils constricted.
Qin Song glanced at him and said lightly, "Since you're no longer a secret guard, you don't have to be so nervous anymore."
The young man's expression was a little stiff, but he didn't know how to relax. After a moment, he asked, "How did you know that I was.."
He stopped mid-sentence. Qin Song naturally understood what he meant and said, "This is not difficult to guess. It is rare to see someone using a number as their name. From your tone, it seems that the name Rho Minoris already belongs to someone else. It is obvious that it is just a code name... someone who uses a code name to replace his name, if he is not a shadow guard, what else can he be?"
The young man did not know how to answer. Qin Song asked again, "What's your real name?"
The young man thought for a moment and shook his head. "I don't remember."
"Since His Majesty ordered me to follow you, please give me a name."
Qin Song shook his head. "Surnames are passed down from our ancestors, and names are entrusted with our hopes … Names are a very important thing. Don't casually give this right to others."
He ignored him and continued to knock on the door with greater force.
The young man looked at Qin Song with a somewhat absent-minded expression. Logically speaking, he should hate this young man. If he hadn't assassinated Qin Yue, he wouldn't have almost lost his life due to dereliction of duty. Although he managed to keep his life in the end, the punishment he had to endure made him shudder even now when he thought about it … But perhaps it was because he wasn't allowed to have his own love and hate ever since he could remember, but when he faced this young man, he couldn't bring up the slightest bit of hatred.
"Yu Sheng," the young man said, "From now on, my name is Yu Sheng."
Qin Song looked back at him and said lightly, "As long as you are happy."
At this moment, the door finally opened with a creak. The person inside was slightly stunned. "It's you? You still have... "
After all, he was not used to scolding people. He didn't say anything unpleasant and only said coldly, "We don't welcome you here!"
"Bang!" The door was slammed shut and the bolt was unlocked.
Qin Song pursed his lips. After a moment of silence, he continued to knock on the door.
It was already abnormal for Qiu Yun to personally open the door. Moreover, Qiu Yun's condition was also very strange. She looked haggard and much thinner. Her hair was also somewhat messy. Although her clothes were clean, there were many wrinkles. It was obvious that it had not been ironed after being washed. Moreover, there were some water stains on her hands. It seemed that she didn't have time to wipe them clean in a hurry to open the door.
What exactly happened in the hostage residence?
The door was opened again. When she saw that it was still Qin Song, Qiu Yun looked impatient. She turned to close the door again. However, a strong hand pressed on the door in time. Yu Sheng said woodenly, "Her Majesty ordered me to send Qin Song Gongzi back to the hostage residence."
Qiu Yun bit her lip and looked coldly at Qin Song. Then, she turned and left.
Qin Song silently followed behind her and entered the residence.
It was originally April, but the hostage residence was filled with a kind of bleak atmosphere. The withered magnolia still hung on the branches. No one trimmed them. The peach blossoms had already withered. However, the scattered petals still remained on the stone pavement and under the eaves of the corridor. There were even some spider webs. On the contrary, the weeds and vines on the ground were full of vitality.
The hostage residence was not big. However, there were originally many people. Yi An, Qin Song, and Qiu Yun had each brought their own people. There were also the cooks, coachmen, and gardeners that Southern Chu had brought. However, now, not a single one of them was seen.
"What happened?"
Qin Song asked Yu Sheng. Yu Sheng blankly shook his head. Ever since Qin Yue was assassinated, he had been tortured and recovering from his injuries. He knew very little about the situation outside. This was very similar to Qin Song.
"They said that there was an assassin hidden in the hostage residence. To prevent any accidents, they sent everyone back." Qiu Yun answered indifferently. Then, she turned to look at Qin Song. There was still half a sentence that she did not say. However, she sent the real assassin back.
"I still have something to do. Help yourself." Qiu Yun finished speaking. However, she did not return to her room. Instead, she turned and went to the kitchen.
Qin Song walked towards the courtyard where he lived. As soon as he took a step, he heard a very light coughing sound. Immediately, his expression turned stiff. He paused his steps, turned around and walked quickly past Qiu Yun into the kitchen.
Yi An was squatting on the ground and feeding firewood into the stove. The firewood was green and wet. The black smoke from the firewood made it difficult for him to open his eyes. When he heard the sound, he turned his head and asked, "Who just came …"
When he saw the person standing at the door, he was stunned and speechless for a moment.
Qin Song looked at his red and swollen eyes and the black ash on his forehead. He opened his mouth but no words came out. Then, he turned and walked out.
"Qin Song!"
Qin Song turned around. Yi An smiled and said, "… There is still some hot water here. You can wash up first. The porridge will be ready soon."
"No need." Qin Song took two steps and stopped. His voice was dry and hoarse, "… Thank you, Your Highness."
He strode away.
His room was still the same as when he left. Everything was neatly arranged. There was no dust on the table. It seemed that someone often cleaned it. Qin Song opened the box and took out a heavy wooden box. When he opened the wooden box, it was filled with gold and silver. It was dazzling.
Qin Song threw the box back into the box. His chest was heaving violently.
"Gongzi." Yu Sheng had been with Qin Yue for a long time. However, this was the first time he had seen Qin Song angry. He asked uneasily, "Did you lose something? Why don't I … "
Qin Song shook his head. He squatted down with a sullen face and slowly put the scattered gold and silver back into the box.
Yu Sheng went forward to help and said, "It probably wasn't His Majesty's idea to send the servants away. At that time, His Majesty was seriously injured and unconscious. He didn't have the time to make things difficult for them …"
Qin Song interrupted, "I know."
Yu Sheng knew that Qin Song didn't want to talk too much with him. He paused and said, "I'll go prepare some hot water for you." The young man had always been clean. After coming out of that place, he probably wanted to wash up.
Qin Song thanked him. When Yu Sheng left, his face darkened again. His fingers clutched the gold ingot in his hand tightly. A flame of anger burned in his chest. The people were gone, but the money was still there. If he couldn't use the Chu people, he could hire the Qin people. If he couldn't hire the Qin people, he could at least buy a few slaves. He deliberately lived his life so miserably. Was he waiting for someone to pity him?
Even if he wanted to appear weak and be ignored, as a prince, wasn't giving himself to others contemptible enough? Why did he have to put on a pitiful appearance for others to see? He had completely forgotten that he was also a seven feet tall man!
Suddenly, his expression changed and he shouted, "Come out!"
"Eh? You can hear me even like this? " A figure nimbly flipped in from outside the window. He smiled and greeted Qin Song, "Long time no see."
He was young, tall, and strong. His face could barely be called handsome. Qin Song glanced at him and then lowered his head to pack the box. He asked, "Why are you here?"
"Not only am I here, I'm living here," the young man said proudly. "Everyone says how powerful the Qin people are. In the end, I'm living here openly. But they searched the entire city dozens of times and still couldn't find this place. Don't you think they're stupid? Ha, that's right. Look, I cleaned up your room, didn't I? "
"You cleaned it?"
"Of course!" the young man said. "Otherwise, did you count on those two? They should be thanking the heavens if they can fill their stomachs! "
"Well, thank you."
"You're welcome. The two of us can be said to be in a life and death situation …" The young man suddenly thought of something and said in surprise, "That's not right! How do you know who I am? Ah, that's not right. You didn't say you know who I am. Then do you know who I am … Bah, I've said so much. Even if you don't know who I am, you should know who I am … "
This nonsense … Qin Song couldn't listen to it anymore. He interrupted, "What are you doing here?"
With that brain of his, he didn't believe that he deliberately came here to avoid being hunted because he understood the principle of darkness under the light.
The young man shook off the question of whether he knew who he was and said matter-of-factly, "I'm looking for you! I say, did you forget something? "
Qin Song was slightly stunned and said, "Sorry, I lost your dagger. After a few days, I'll find a similar one to return it to you."
"It's not about Qingfeng. You used it to stab that brat Qin Yue. I can't even wait to be happy. Why would I ask you for it?" The young man said, "You forgot, you even ate my poison pill!"
Qin Song replied with an 'oh' and said, "You mean, that boiled soybean?"
The young man widened his eyes. "How did you know that it was boiled soybean?"
How did I know? I ate it!
Qin Song was too lazy to answer this idiot's question.
The young man muttered in dissatisfaction, "So you already knew. You made me feel uneasy for a long time. I was afraid that you would be worried about the poison. I wanted to tell you at that time, but there were too many things that happened later. I accidentally forgot about it. When I remembered to go back to look for you, you were locked up in prison. The security was very tight. I couldn't sneak in several times. Oh, right, there was one time when I was close to the courtyard where you were locked up. I even tried to imitate a bird's call to attract your attention … "
Bird call?
The young man was surprised to see the young man who almost never smiled suddenly show a smile on his face. For a moment, it was as if the spring flowers were blooming and the winter snow was melting. It made people feel as if their hearts were soaked in warm water and melted into the warm sun. There was no trace of haze to be found. For a moment, they were stunned.
The young man suddenly pursed his lips. A series of crisp and mellow bird calls escaped from his lips. It was very pleasant to hear.
The young man was stunned, "You … you …" It was the bird song he had learned that day. If it wasn't for the fact that he was used to this tune, even he himself wouldn't have recognized it. But this young man had only heard it once, and he had learned it without a single mistake.
Qin Song said with a smile, "I was wondering why the bird call that day was so unpleasant. So it was because of you."
The young man said angrily, "Nonsense. I learned the best thrush bird call in the mountains. When I learned the bird call, even real birds would be attracted. How can you say that my call is unpleasant?"
Qin Song sighed and said, "So you also know that you learned the thrush bird call. Then tell me, why would a thrush bird suddenly appear in the courtyard of the Imperial Prison of Qin and chirp non-stop?"
The young man was stunned. Then he patted his head and said, "I was wondering why the security at the back was suddenly strengthened. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't sneak in!"
Then he said, "Don't worry. If there is a next time, I won't learn the thrush bird call. I will learn the sparrow call!"
Qin Song shook his head and laughed. He didn't speak anymore.
In fact, there wasn't even a sparrow call there.
Those bird cries were the most pleasant sounds he had heard during that period of time.
"You didn't sleep in my bed, did you?"
"Why?"
"If you slept in it, I would have changed the bedding."
The young man snorted and said, "Don't worry. I know the strange habits of young masters like you. I slept in the outer room and didn't touch your bed … Even your bedding was changed by me this morning."
Qin Song was slightly stunned.
The young man said discontentedly, "Why do you think I have nothing to do but sleep all day? I don't have the ability to save you, but it's not like I can't even find out some information. "
"Also, I don't want to criticize you. Last time, you lied to me and told me to pretend to stab you with a knife to delay the pursuers. In the end, you went to do the assassination yourself … You said that if you told me the truth, the two of us would attack together. Now …"
Qin Song said, "Now your corpse would be rotting."
The young man choked. Qin Song said, "Now that things are clear, you should go. Yu Sheng should be back soon."
The young man said proudly, "Don't worry. He is chopping firewood now. How can he have time to come over?"
"Chopping firewood?"
"Yes!" The young man said with a smile, "Your Second Prince and that girl called Qiu Yun don't even know how to buy things. They don't have any power. Those people are just trying to cheat them. Withered old vegetables, hollow radishes, moldy brown rice … all of them are sold at sky-high prices. And the people who sell firewood, they buy it when it's wet and green. Not to mention that it can't be lit for half a day, it's not easy to chop it. With Qiu Yun's strength, it's good enough that the firewood she chopped is enough to cook porridge. That boy wants to prepare bath water for you. How can he not chop the firewood first? "
Seeing Qin Song frown slightly, the young man scratched his head and said, "Well … you just came back. There must be a lot of things to do. I'll go first. I'll come back later. By the way, my name is Han Pu. Han Pu from the Korean. "
He waved at Qin Song and jumped out of the window.
If his wrists were not chained to the bed, this treatment was not bad.
"Young Master, you're awake?" A petite girl with a round face and big eyes came in with a bowl of medicine. She smiled and said, "The doctor also said that you'll wake up around this time, so I went to boil some medicine. By the way, you can call me Little Peach. "
She put down the bowl of medicine and pushed Qin Song's head higher. She said, "Young Master had a fever last night. This is the medicine prescribed by the doctor. Come, I'll feed you. "
It was now the cold of spring. Qin Song was tossed around in his thin clothes for so long and was even splashed with water. It would be strange if he didn't fall sick. He frowned and asked, "Where is this place?"
Little Peach said in surprise, "This is the palace. Young Master, you don't know? Oh yes, Young Master was sick yesterday and was in a daze … "
She smiled sweetly and said, "Yesterday, the king personally arranged for you. Young Master, please be sure to treat your injuries … I've been here for three or four years, but I've never seen the king so attentive to anyone!"
Qin Song didn't comment and drank two mouthfuls from Little Peach's hand. He frowned. She fed him two mouthfuls with a small spoon, and she even had to wipe the corner of his mouth. How long was she going to feed him? He'd rather be held by the neck and forced to drink medicine like this.
Just as he was about to ask for a different method, Little Peach saw his frown and her eyes turned red. She panicked and said, "I, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I …"
Before she could finish speaking, a soft laugh came from outside the door. It actually sounded a bit doting. "What's wrong? You've just woken up and you're already throwing a tantrum?"
Qin Song felt his hair stand on end.
Qin Yue, dressed in a black robe, pushed open the door and came in. He sat beside his bed and said, "Do you want me to feed you personally?"
Qin Song pulled the iron chain on his wrist and said with a smile that wasn't a smile, "I prefer to drink it myself."
Qin Yue picked up the bowl of medicine and stirred it gently. He said lightly, "People should be content with what they have. Don't you think so?"
Qin Song didn't say anything. When Qin Yue reached out the spoon, he opened his mouth and took it. He wanted to see if he would be the first to get impatient from drinking, or if that person would be the first to get impatient from feeding.
Qin Yue had never taken care of anyone in his life. After feeding him three or four times, he saw that the medicine in the bowl only dropped a little. He was a bit irritated, but when he saw that the youth was calm and unruffled, as if he had already expected him to be like this, he snorted coldly and continued.
The two of them didn't say anything and drank the bowl of medicine as if they were competing with each other. Qin Song didn't have any taste in his mouth, and Qin Yue also felt that the hand holding the small spoon was stiff.
Little Peach was the only one who stared blankly. The king treats my young master so well!
When he finally finished drinking, Qin Song let out a sigh of relief. But when he turned around, he saw Qin Yue reaching out to wipe the corner of his mouth. He turned his head away in disgust.
"Are you still angry?" Qin Yue smiled good-naturedly and raised his chin to indicate, "It's dipped in the medicine."
Qin Song couldn't be counted on, and he didn't want to trouble Qin Yue. He simply stuck out the tip of his tongue and gently licked it.
Sticking out one's tongue wasn't something that looked good for everyone. Children sticking out their tongues was extremely cute, but if it was a fat and wide tongue, it would only make people lose their appetite.
However, the young man's tongue was thin and small, and its color was pink and tender. It deftly licked the tender and soft lips, leaving behind an alluring luster … Qin Yue suddenly felt that his breathing was somewhat irregular.
Qin Song turned his face and turned his wound, which was covered by a thin layer of gauze, towards Qin Yue. If he didn't know his own limits, he would have kicked him. How could there be such a beast in the world who would go into heat at any time and place?!
Didn't they say that he collected all kinds of beauties in the palace? Why did he look like he would go into heat at the sight of a sow?!
Qin Yue frowned and took the tea offered by Little Peach. He slowly drank it and said, "This humble one has asked a godly doctor to take a look at your injury. Although I don't dare to say that it will completely disappear, it won't be a problem to treat most of it. It's just that the medicine is extremely numb and itchy. I'm afraid that you'll accidentally touch it, so I'm temporarily restricting your movements. When you're better, I'll let you go. Don't think too much. "
How could Qin Song not hear the threat in Qin Yue's words?
The injury on his face couldn't protect him for the rest of his life. Even if it couldn't be cured, as long as he could appear in front of people alive and kicking, this matter would naturally be considered over. As for what would happen in the future, wasn't it still up to Qin Yue to decide? Not to mention anything else, if he were to be placed in the palace like this and put on a show of pampering, who would believe that he was innocent? The scholars of the world would no longer see him as one of their own. In the future, no matter what Qin Yue did to him, no one would stand up for him.
Qin Song sneered and said, "Your Majesty is so busy every day, yet you still have to worry about the trivial injury of a foreign official. It's really hard on you."
You're the dignified ruler of the most powerful country in the world, yet you've wronged yourself to put on a show of gentleness just to frame me, a follower of a country's hostage who has no weight to the world. You really have too much time on your hands.
After the scene in prison, no matter what he said, Qin Yue would always think about it in his mind first. He almost immediately understood what he meant. His expression became slightly serious. Recently, he seemed to have put too much thought into this young man, and he didn't have the mood to amuse himself like he did in the past.
Seeing this, Qin Song smiled faintly and said, "I don't know if Your Majesty has ever heard of a saying: if you tell a lie a thousand times, even you will believe it to be true. Your Majesty, you must not overdo your acting and become a joke."
Qin Yue said, "I'm willing to act with you. Shouldn't you be ecstatic?"
Wasn't this the reason why they, the so-called hostages, traveled thousands of miles to Western Qin?
Qin Song also didn't understand why he would suddenly run to Daqin. He pursed his lips and didn't say anything else.
