Oriole Line

Chapter 76

Pacing back and forth, like his father Pu Yang, he likes the odd and dangerous strategy in his bones.Later, after getting to know Wen Tao, he acted a lot more calmly, and gradually became able to make decisions before acting.But this time, when he was in Shangyang Palace, he had no choice but to accept the marriage gift. When Qi Dai and Wen Tao persuaded him to marry the eldest princess, the stubborn and adventurous side in his bones emerged again, and he kept it from Wen Tao. , A person came to the private association of the eldest princess, thinking that he could persuade the eldest princess with a few words.He thought that a woman who grew up in the deep palace and never left the cabinet was just a cowardly and cowardly person, but he didn't expect that this time it would be the opposite. Not only was the eldest princess not scared off, but she was determined to marry him.He has no back tricks, at this moment he is like a child who has done something wrong, not knowing what to do.

I don't know if Princess Nanping said something to Zhou Yan when she went back that day. On that day, Zhou Yan issued an edict to inform the world that Da Sima Puchen would marry Princess Nanping on the Mid-Autumn Festival three months later.

At this moment in Pu Mansion, Wen Tao is holding the good news that the emperor has just announced to the world, and kneeling in front of him is the leader of the hidden guards of Luoyang City, who just reported to him that Pu Chen had a private meeting with the eldest princess at Xiangguo Temple this morning.He felt a convulsion in his stomach, throbbing pain, and he thought to himself that he probably ate too little lunch.He held back the pain, frowned and said, "Why did the Patriarch see the Eldest Princess?"

The leader of the dark guard said: "The master summoned the younger one last night and asked the younger one to arrange a private meeting with Princess Nanping. The princess goes to Xiangguo Temple to offer incense on the [-]th day of every month, and today happens to be the fifteenth day, so the younger one made arrangements and tried her best. Introduce the princess to meet the Patriarch."

"What?" Wen Tao was shocked, because of the pain in his stomach, his forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat, and his voice was a little trembling, "Why didn't you report such a big event as a private meeting with the princess to me? What is the identity of the princess? If you mess around like this, don’t you expose your identities?”

The leader of the dark guard was complaining in his heart. When Pu Chen made this request last night, he had a premonition that Wen Tao would definitely not agree, but the order of the Patriarch must not be violated, so he had no choice but to kowtow: "The Patriarch orders the small ones not to tell the master. Even the little ones can't help themselves."

Wen Tao felt the abdominal cramps getting stronger and stronger, and the tearing pain made his face turn pale. Even the kneeling leader of the dark guards could see his discomfort, and hurriedly said: "Master, Master!"

Wen Tao seemed to feel the pain from the dream the night before. In the dream, he fell to his knees in pain, but Pu Chen didn't look at him.At this moment, the pain was so similar that he almost lost consciousness from the pain, and vaguely heard the secret guard calling for someone to come in.

When Pu Chen returned to Pu Mansion in the evening, he felt a little guilty.Obviously he was full of ambition when he left the mansion in the morning, but the conversation with the eldest princess completely deviated from his expectation. He was not sure how to explain this matter to Wen Tao, when he suddenly saw Tang Yu running out in a hurry.

"Why are you so reckless?" Pu Chen dissatisfied.

"The Patriarch is back." Tang Yu looked anxious, "I was about to find the doctor, but Wen Tao fainted."

Pu Chen's eyes were darkened, and he rushed in quickly, one step into the wing room where Wen Tao was, and saw him lying on the table with his eyes closed, his forehead already covered with sweat.Pu Chen suddenly felt that the three souls flew away to the seven souls, picked up Wen Tao horizontally, and went to his bedroom.It's just like this since I haven't seen him for two days. Putting the person in his hand, Pu Chen felt that he was like a quivering feather in his arms, but he didn't know why he was uncomfortable. Like a knife twisting.Putting Wen Tao on the bed, Pu Chen tested his forehead temperature, but he didn't have a fever, but Wen Tao shrank into a ball, as if in great pain.

Pu Chen was very anxious, and called the people who served Wen Tao: "What's the matter with the master?"

The waiters looked at each other, and finally one of them said: "Master has not eaten well for the past two days, and his stomach is not feeling well. He has been ordering only soup and porridge."

Pu Chen knew that Wen Tao's stomach was bad, and he was prone to convulsions when he was slightly exposed to cold or had an irregular diet, but this was the first time he had seen it so severe.At this moment, Tang Yu's doctor arrived and gave Wen Tao a pulse: "Master, his stomach is injured. His stomach is already weak, and now there is stagnant energy in his chest, which affects the root cause."

Upon hearing this, Pu Chen hurriedly asked, "Is it serious?"

The doctor said: "The young master probably suffered from cold and starvation when he was young. His stomach was already weak, and he suffered several serious injuries on his body, which were extremely debilitating. If he doesn't take good care of him now, he will be sad and angry again. To leave the root of the disease."

When Pu Chen heard the word "root of the disease", his heart beat a few beats slower, and he lost his voice: "How to cure him?"

The doctor prescribed a prescription for him, and told him: "Taking medicine is the second priority. It is important to take care of it and dissipate the stagnation." The doctor looked at Wen Tao's face again, and sighed, "This The young master seems to be a thoughtful person, we must not let him think too much."

72, 72.

After Wen Tao drank the medicine, he seemed to have calmed down a bit. Although his brows were still frowning, his body had gradually stretched.Pu Chen screened everyone away, and finally only he and Wen Tao were left in the bedroom.

Pu Chen remembered Lang Zhong's words, and the words "depressed air" came back and forth in his mind. Why is Wen Tao so depressed?Seeing that Wen Tao was sleeping soundly, he also went to bed himself.I haven't slept with Wen Tao for two days, now when I touch him with my fingers, I feel blood rushing up all over my body, but I am afraid of waking him up, so I have to move inside with difficulty.Coincidentally, Wen Tao turned over and bumped into Pu Chen's arms impartially, hugging him to his full arms, Pu Chen couldn't bear it anymore, greedily rubbed his nose against him, and held him tightly in his arms inside.Sometimes people are like this. People who have been thinking about it for a long time have become a habit and occasionally forget his hard-won.The last time Pu Chen hugged Wen Tao so tightly was after the Battle of Wuchang. Wen Tao's hand was pierced by an arrow and he narrowly escaped death. The thrilling night of that night is still vivid in his mind. In the blink of an eye, several years have passed.

Wen Tao was woken up by him, and subconsciously snorted softly: "You're back?"

Pu Chen's nose was still rubbing against Wen Tao's chest, and he said in a muffled voice, "Next time, you are not allowed to sleep in the outside wing."

Wen Tao's mind gradually cleared up, his whole body seemed to be falling apart, but his stomach pain was gone, seeing Pu Chen hugging him tightly, thinking of what he had done in the past two days, he turned over again, ignored him, and tried to move to the side of the bed Moved.How could Pu Chen let him break free from his arms again, leaning against his back and said: "What are you thinking, Taotao?"

Pu Chen wanted to ask this question for a long time.Ever since Wen Tao persuaded Pu Chen to marry the eldest princess, Pu Chen wanted to ask him, it's fine for others to persuade me, why do you want to persuade me?What the hell are you thinking?

Wen Tao turned his back to him, thinking of the strange dream he had, suddenly felt a little guilty, but also a little wronged, he didn't want Pu Chen to see this side of him.For a long time, Pu Chen has been his recognized master, and also the one he loves selfishly.He has a public heart towards Pu Chen, but also has a personal affair. In the past, this private love has never hindered his public heart. He wholeheartedly assisted Pu Chen in his great cause. It is not only because he loves him selfishly, but also because he believes that Pu Chen is the stone pillar of Jing Dynasty Zhongxing, and he is worthy of his life to protect.

But this time is different.Since they parted with Dai Wang in Luoyang, they have been preparing for the incident for three years. Now is the most critical time. Zhou Yanxing used prophecy to give Pu Chen a marriage. If Pu Chen resists the decree, it will undoubtedly bring huge harm to their rebellion hinder.Obviously persuading Pu Chen to marry the eldest princess is the best strategy, but seeing Pu Chen slam the door and leaving, hearing that he was hungover in Yuxiang Tower all night, and hearing that the secret guards under his command reported to him the secret of Pu Chen's private association with the eldest princess. Wen Tao felt that all the strength in his body had been drained until the last edict to announce to the world was held in his hands, just like the night he was dying after the Battle of Wuchang.

Pu Chen hugged him and waited for a while, seeing that Wen Tao didn't speak, he turned him over and leaned against his forehead and said, "Taotao, do you really have me in your heart?"

Wen Tao shrank back, his eyelids drooped, but he still didn't say a word.

Pu Chen knows that Wen Tao can tell lies casually, but it is not easy to tell the truth, but Wen Tao has a weakness. Although he is hard-spoken, his body is very honest.Seeing that he didn't speak, Pu Chen bit his lips and began to kiss him. Wen Tao's front teeth were tightly closed, and he wouldn't let him attack.Wen Tao suffered a back injury when he was in Liangzhou, Pu Chen didn't dare to use force, but he knew Wen Tao's waist was very sensitive, so he just rubbed it lightly, and the itchy feeling came instantly, and Wen Tao snorted softly He let go, and Pu Chen took the opportunity to attack the city.In the past two or three years, Pu Chen has also got a clear idea of ​​Wen Tao's habits. He knows what to do to make Wen Tao unable to refuse him.But tonight Wen Tao was very abnormal, obviously emotional, but he pushed him with all his might.He was exhausted and couldn't exert all his strength, but that push still clearly let Pu Chen know what he meant.

Pu Chen was terrified, he had never been so confident in his heart, and stared at him blankly.

Wen Tao said coldly: "You are going to marry the eldest princess soon, we shouldn't do this again."

Wen Tao's tone was calm with a pretended sense of distance, Pu Chen chewed carefully the meaning of his words, if Wen Tao could get close to him without any grievances after persuading Pu Chen to marry the eldest princess, then Pu Chen Chen really wants to completely doubt whether Wen Tao has really paid attention to him.As the saying goes, caring leads to chaos. What he fears most is that Wen Tao doesn't care about him, and his intimacy with him is only because of his status as the Patriarch of the Pu family.He once thought in private that if the powerful minister holding the heavy army is not him, but someone else, if this person also has the ambition to rejuvenate the Jingchao, then Wen Tao will save him with his life.
