Chapter 57 Take Off Your Clothes, I Will Wear It For You

The carriage stopped outside the Wenxuan Gate.After crossing the Wenxuan Gate, you will enter the palace. Whenever someone leads the way to meet the Queen Mother, they will pass through here.

Zhao Xian rushed over in small steps, saw the carriage from a distance, flicked his whisk, and hurriedly walked forward.

"Master Xiao Li." He said respectfully, "Your Majesty has been waiting in the Palace of Qinzheng for a long time."

After waiting for a while, there was no movement in the carriage. Zhao Xian looked around and saw that even the coachman was gone, so he muttered in his heart.

Did he find the wrong place?

Suddenly, someone came out from behind the curtain, and the noise was so loud that even the horses were startled.

Zhao Xian looked over at the first glance and thought he saw a bloody man, but after a second look, he recognized that this was the real Lord Li who was urgently called into the palace by the Queen Mother.

It is in line with the rumored name of the lone star of the evil spirit.

Li Zheng raised his eyes indifferently, and looked around: "Where is your Highness?"

"Your Highness?" Zhao Xian was taken aback, "You didn't look at your Highness?"

Li Zheng's face was ugly to the naked eye.He snorted coldly and jumped out of the carriage: "Then let's go."

Zhao Xian didn't know what happened - it was just Li Zheng's own temper. Although he was quite dissatisfied with his rudeness, he could only swallow it silently.On the contrary, after Li Zheng walked a few steps, he suddenly turned around and bowed to Zhao Xian: "Eunuch Lao will lead the way."

Only then did Zhao Xian's eyes widen, "Don't bother, don't bother."

There was no owner of the carriage, and the groom was either temporarily engaged, or someone took over later, Zhao Xian took a quick look and decided to leave it alone for the time being.

Immediately afterwards, another person poked his head out from the side window.Zhao Xian's glance happened to meet that person directly.

"Master Qin, Master Qin?" Zhao Xian almost dropped his jaw in shock, "Why are you also in the carriage?"

"This carriage belongs to my family, why can't I be here." Qin Ting propped his elbows on the window frame, and said lazily, "But father-in-law, are you going to take Li Zheng to see your mother like this?"

He seemed to be too lazy to pretend, and called them by their first and last names.

But he was right, not to mention that the empress dowager would be disturbed by the disrespect in front of the hall, even Zhao Xian who brought Li Zheng over would be punished.But right now Li Zheng has already entered the palace, if he goes back outside the palace to change, it may be delayed.There are no foreign ministers in the palace, so naturally there are no clothes that adult men can wear.

After thinking about it, Zhao Xian couldn't come up with a solution.

Qin Ting smiled and said, "Isn't there still a person living in the side courtyard behind the Wenxuan Gate?"

"Master Qin is saying...Mr. Xiao?" Zhao Xian thought, "But..."

But this Mr. Xiao has a strange temperament, and no one pays attention to him. Even the Queen Mother often turns a blind eye.He is really willing to help this favor?

"You don't know if you try it." After Qin Ting finished speaking, he pulled down the curtain of the car without further words.

Outside the car, Zhao Xian was hesitating when he heard Li Zheng say, "Don't bother, just take a piece of ordinary clothes worn by your father-in-law."

Zhao Xian showed surprise: "This...Master Xiao Li doesn't think his slaves are dirty?"

"Dirty or not." Li Zheng said indifferently, "It's just a piece of clothing, not necessarily dirtier than some people's hearts."

He meant something, and it was inconvenient for Zhao Xian to ask, but he secretly changed his mind about Li Zheng.

Coming from a family, but not caring about high or low status, this Li Zheng seems to be completely different from his father.

Zhao Xian was thinking while leading Li Zheng towards the Qinzheng Hall.

And the carriage parked alone outside the city wall is like a grass that no one cares about.Qin Ting closed his eyes and meditated in the car. After a long time, he opened his smiling eyes slightly.It's just that there is no smile in the eyes, it's all confusion and fatigue.

"Ye Yi." He said, "Drive, go back."

Ye Yi, who was hiding somewhere, landed on Che Shi's side, and quietly reined in the horse.The ruts rolled over the stone brick road, rattling along with the sound of horseshoes.

"Ye Yi."

After a while, Qin Ting suddenly called out.

"Patriarch, please speak."

"My heart is not calm." Qin Ting said, "Master once told me that when practicing swords, you must be calm, concentrated, and united with your mind and mind, so that you can blend with the sword energy and make the strongest sword. I have always followed him. I never dared to forget my teachings. But now I find that my heart is not calm...why?"

he asked perplexedly.

Ye Yi didn't know how he was feeling, but he knew a lot about the way of the sword, and said immediately: "Is the Patriarch worried about what happened just now? According to my subordinates, if you are not calm, you should get rid of the person or thing that disturbs you." alright."

"Fix it?" Qin Ting was startled, then smiled again, "You're right."

He closed his eyes again, and his expression became gentle and quiet again.The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he said slowly: "Did you see all those things just now?"

Ye Yi: "..."

Ye Yi: "My lord, don't bring such fishing..."

"En." Qin Ting mumbled, as if about to fall asleep, "Go back and receive the punishment."

Ye Yi: "..."

He turned his head angrily, put away the reins and slammed at the horse's buttocks, and drove the carriage towards the city of Bianliang.

When Xie Xuan pushed Xiao Ling back to the side courtyard, the courtyard was still deserted.Except for a green bamboo that was kept with him, if it wasn't for the peach tree in the center of the courtyard and the fish swimming in the pond, there probably wouldn't be a single living thing in sight.

He remembered that Xiao Ling in his previous life was the same.It seems that the whole person is sealed in the ice that will not melt for a thousand years, and no one is allowed to approach.

The front door was wide open, and Xiao Ling steered the wheelchair to walk into the house.After a while, he came out with a set of white clothes and handed them to Xie Xuan: "Put on."

The clothes looked to be Xiao Ling's own, so clean that it seemed like he could go to the funeral ceremony just by wearing them.Xie Xuan hugged the clothes and looked left and right: "Change here?"

Xiao Ling: "Follow you."

Since he said to follow him, then Xie Xuan would be more respectful than obedient.

The outer shirt was stained with blood due to receiving Li Zheng, and after a not-so-short period of time, the huge "peony" on the chest was already lumpy, and it took Xie Xuan a while to take it off.

The size of the inner jacket is made to fit the body. It is summer, and the thin shirt is translucent, showing a flesh-colored, young body.

Xie Xuan doesn't often dress by herself.After coming out of the cold palace in the previous life, he became the prince first and then the emperor, and there were people serving him inside and out. Some clothes were complicated in design, and it took a long time for several court ladies to wear them together.

Xiao Ling's clothes obviously fit these characteristics.

He fiddled with it for a long time, but he still couldn't figure out whether the belt was fastened from front to back or from back to front, Xiao Ling frowned.

"come over."

After a while, Xiao Ling finally couldn't stand it anymore and decided to do it himself.

This clothes is the clothes he wore when he was young, and now it is suitable for Xie Xuan, not too big or too small.

In the past, when he was still able to ride a horse, he used to like to wear these flashy clothes. Every girdle was decorated with many complicated patterns and precious stones. Under the clear sky, the eye-catching light can be reflected.

Xiao Ling put the girdle on him, and when he looked up, he saw that the lapel of his clothes was turned upside down, and he was speechless: "You..."

After a pause, he sighed: "Take it off, I'll put it on for you."

Xie Xuan followed suit.

In front of Xiao Ling, the madness, arrogance, sunny side and dark side of his body all hibernate, as if he wants to expose his soft inner part in exchange for something from Xiao Ling.

It's a pity that Xiao Ling didn't want to.

When Xiao Ling moved, Xie Xuan's eyes were always staring at him without blinking.

"I don't know what you're thinking, but I advise you not to look for other people's shadows in me." Xiao Ling raised his hand to help him fasten his loose collar, "I'm not anyone in your eyes."

"How could it be." Xie Xuan smiled slightly, "Mr. is Mr., how could it be someone else?"

Xiao Ling's hands paused, and he raised his eyes to look at him.

As keen as he is, although he is confused about some things, he also senses that the attachment Xie Xuan showed in the past is not just because of him alone.

Maybe it's a little strange to say this... But Xiao Ling thinks that Xie Xuan seems to be trying various methods to make Xiao Ling reveal his true self.And this truth that belongs to Xie Xuan may not necessarily belong to Xiao Ling himself.

After all, in this world, there is no love and hate for no reason.

Xiao Ling stopped thinking about it.

He turned Xie Xuan's neckline and smoothed it out. Occasionally, his cold fingertips brushed against the side of the neck, causing Xie Xuan to flinch slightly. I don't know if he did it on purpose.

Feeling helpless, Xiao Ling took a glance, but inadvertently found a scar on the back of Xie Xuan's neck.

This injury is already an old injury, the size of a fingernail, growing on Xie Xuan's right shoulder like a birthmark, if Xiao Ling was not sensitive to wounds, he would hardly have noticed it.

He calmly pushed Xie Xuan's long hair in front of him: "Squat down."

"?"

Xie Xuan wanted to turn around, but Xiao Ling pinched his jawbone and turned his head forcefully: "There is a thread that has come off behind."

Xie Xuan: "..."

When he looked closer, the traces of the scar became more and more obvious.A circle of dark circular scars, the flesh color in the circle is much lighter than that of the surrounding ones. Ordinary wounds tend to fade gradually over time, but this wound is dull in color for some reason, as if it has not been properly treated .

Xie Xuan's complexion was already light, but the spot on the back of her neck that was not exposed to sunlight turned whiter, making the scar even more dazzling.

Xiao Ling stared at it for a long time, then suddenly heard Xie Xuan say: "The eunuch in the cold palace burned it with a torch."

Xiao Ling raised his eyes, his expression unchanged: "Oh?"

"When they were young, they used to do this kind of thing." Xie Xuan said slowly, "Besides that, there were punches, kicks, slaps, and leftovers for me to eat. But it doesn't matter. ..."

Xie Xuan turned around, put her head on Xiao Ling's lap, and said obediently: "I have already killed them."

"I heard." Xiao Ling said calmly, "It's cut to pieces, but it can't be seen from the outside."

Xie Xuan blinked: "Who did you listen to, sir?"

Xiao Ling didn't say anything.He straightened Xie Xuan's slightly messy long hair, straightened the jade hairpin on the bun, and said, "Let's go, the Queen Mother is still waiting to see you."

"Sir, do you have anything else to say to me?" Xie Xuan not only refused to leave, but also refused to let go, "For example, do the bandits in Yongzhou need me to negotiate, do they need me to come forward and secretly take care of Xiao's old department, and let them do their best?" Get away safely, for example..."

"No." Xiao Ling interrupted him, "Going to Yongzhou is far away with mountains and rivers. Let's talk about it after you get there safely."

He turned around in the wheelchair and walked into the house without looking at him again.

He might have had the idea of ​​using Xie Xuan's hand to secretly protect the old Xiao family in Yongzhou, otherwise he wouldn't have stopped him at the Wenxuan Gate.But for some reason, it suddenly disappeared without a trace at a certain moment just now.

Xiao Ling thought by chance that Xie Xuan's body was also very suitable for the strong clothes he used to whip the horse when he was young.

Then let him wear it.

At least I can get a glimpse of myself when I was young.
