Second minister and thief

Chapter 99 Concealment

After drinking a cup of hot tea, Chu Linqiu felt that not only did his throat no longer itch, but his whole body began to feel warm. He lowered his eyes to hide the complicated emotions, and said slowly, "If Chu guessed correctly, they should He was forced to be a lobbyist."

"Master Chu, your thoughts are so twisted and turned, you have expected everything, and you simply don't leave a way for others to survive." Xiao Cen sighed, and shook his head in disapproval, "Exactly. However, although they have this However, those few from the Privy Council came too strangely, and Ben Hou doesn't really believe that they are just looking for another way out."

"Of course it can't be so simple." Chu Linqiu sneered slightly, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled into a sarcasm, "Master Hou, you have been at the border for a long time, have you ever heard of the 'controversy between the East and the West'?"

"Never."

"In the past, the Emperor Taizu set up the Eastern and Western Mansions to manage the civil affairs and military affairs. He intended to make them complement each other. He didn't want to become a tool for some people to keep their power and eliminate dissidents after decades. At that time, Song Ge was in charge of Zhizheng Hall. The Eastern Mansion was completely included in the Xi, but the privy envoy was...beside General Xiao, another general of the Zhu Kingdom. Cough cough..."

"Let's take a break?" Xiao Cen hastily fed him another sip of tea, and with a big wave of his hand, he hugged him in his arms, "I almost know what's going to happen next, you, don't talk about it. Boss The general was dissatisfied with Song Ge's actions, and fought against him many times, and finally brought disaster, and... died in battle, right?"

"Ah."

"You suddenly brought up this matter, but you actually wanted to say...the person whose name was crossed out on the cowhide list was Mr. Song Ge? Then he transferred you to the Privy Council because he also became suspicious and wanted you to break the current situation. This kind of situation? Or is it simply to make the two of you openly fight, and it is best to hurt both?" As for the one on the Dragon Throne, Xiao Cen never minded to speculate with the utmost malice.Now that he heard that there are so many turbulent waves hidden under the seemingly peaceful surface, he suddenly felt that Chu Linqiu had just picked up a hot thing, and sooner or later he would be burned all over his body, although it was almost the same now.

"Despicable...cunning! When I first saw that piece of yellow cloth, I really thought he was here to make up for you. How could I know that his intentions are so sinister!" Xiao Cen almost gritted his teeth. Squeezing out this sentence, his whole body is as stiff as a wooden stake now, and he is only one point away from exploding.

"Master Hou. Ahem..."

"I'm sorry, are you scared?" When Xiao Cen heard Chu Linqiu's cough, he felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy. He hurriedly stopped talking and went to rub his chest, causing Chu Linqiu to turn sideways in dissatisfaction.

"Master Hou, Chu is not porcelain."

"Of course you are not. But to this Marquis, you are more precious than any porcelain and jade. Okay, enough talking today, it's time to rest. When you fall asleep, Mr. Liu will come to you again See a doctor. Although your poison is temporarily suppressed, if you don't completely remove it... it will always be a serious problem."

"..." Hearing Xiao Cen talk about the poison in his body, Chu Linqiu's dissociated consciousness was pulled back immediately.He stood up abruptly, turned his head to look directly at Xiao Cen, held the man's shoulder and hesitated to speak, but finally he was discouraged and his whole body softened.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Cen readjusted his posture, let someone lie down in his arms, and asked indifferently, "What do you want to say to Benhou? Huh?"

"It's nothing." Chu Linqiu only lost his composure for a moment, and soon returned to his usual appearance. He took the initiative to pick up Xiao Cen's hand and shook it, and then said softly, "Please come here immediately, Mr. Liu, I have something to say to you." He said."

"Okay." Although Xiao Cen didn't understand why, he still chose to do it, because in his mind, what Chu Linqiu did and said would have some truth.

When Mr. Liu came in with the medicine box, the two of them were on the couch for some reason, and the description was very indecent.Xiao Cen even crossed his legs, hugged Chu Linqiu, and rested his chin on his shoulder while talking.The distance was so close that it seemed as if they would kiss each other in the next moment.

"Ahem..." Mr. Liu held up the medicine box in front of his eyes, said "see no evil" twice in his heart, and then took a deep breath and walked over.

It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, but when you look at it, you almost faint, it turns out that Chu Linqiu's clothes are open at this time, revealing his snow-white chest, and a deeper scene can be vaguely seen.He was quite calm, seeing Mr. Liu's expression was a bit weird, he raised his hand to close his clothes in a calm manner, then he took the initiative to pull out his wrist and put it on the pulse pillow that he had just taken out.

On the other hand, Xiao Cen was a little flustered, he pressed his lips tightly into a straight line, after thinking for a long time, he finally decided to explain, "Jiu Shang... just felt a little tight in his chest, so this Marquis relieved him Loosen the placket."

"Master Hou doesn't have to be like this. Liu Yun..." Mr. Liu lost his voice as if he was being strangled by someone's throat in the middle of his words. He slowly widened his eyes and stared at Looking at Chu Linqiu, the gazes of the person on the couch implying a warning meet in the air.

His heart suddenly fell heavily.

"Sir? What's the matter? But what's wrong?" Since Xiao Cen hugged Chu Linqiu from behind and couldn't see his expression, he could only draw the conclusion from Mr. Liu that this person's condition is not very good .

And Mr. Liu kept silent, which undoubtedly deepened his fear. If it wasn't for his inconvenience now, he would have wanted to stay on the bed and shake this man's shoulders, "Sir? Sir, you are talking! Are you anxious to kill me? "

"Master Hou!" Liu Yun opened and closed his mouth in vain several times, and finally succumbed to Chu Linqiu's knife-like eyes, "My lord, my lord, this poison... don't rush, if you insist on the medicinal bath, It can always come out bit by bit.”

"Is this true?!"

"... Seriously." Mr. Liu's hand was still on Chu Linqiu's wrist, but he was staring at him so much that he just wanted to escape. Beads of sweat rolled down his cheeks.

His many ailments naturally fell into Xiao Cen's eyes.Xiao Cen asked with concern, "What's wrong, sir? But you're not feeling well?"

"Back to Lord Marquis, Liu Jin..."

"Mr. Liu thinks he can't stand it after kneeling for a long time. Get up and sit down."

"..."

"Mr. Liu? Just get up when Jiushang tells you to get up. Why don't you move?"

"Huh?" After Xiao Cen's question, Liu Jin seemed to have just come to his senses. He withdrew his hand abruptly, then stood up preoccupied, walked to the other side of the low table and sat down.
