Chapter 202

When Xu Xiu returned to the palace, Xiao Qi was flipping through the memorial absently, with a slight smile on his face.

I saw Xu Xiu coming in from afar, and he was about to ask about the situation, when he suddenly saw the umbrella in his hand that hadn't been delivered yet.

After confirming that the rain outside the hall hadn't stopped, he looked at him with a sullen face and an expression that you'd better explain to me: "What's going on?"

Xu Xiu considered his words for a while, and finally gave a milder explanation: "The regent...he has an umbrella."

Xiao Qi frowned.

They went in and out together and slept together, why didn't he remember that Ling Shuangzhu brought an umbrella today.

He knocked on the table irritably, and said distractedly, "Where did you get the umbrella?"

Xu Kui muttered: "This...subordinates don't know either."

Xiao Qi pressed his eyebrows and said: "That's all, you can go out."

Xu Xiu took the order.

Before going out, Xiao Qi thought of something again, and emphasized: "I don't really feel sorry for him, I am afraid that he will get wet, this is just an attitude towards my ministers."

Xu Xiu didn't know why he had to explain this, and said in a daze, "Your Majesty, do these subordinates know?"

Xiao Qi: "..."

After Xu Xiu came out of the hall, he secretly thanked himself for not telling His Majesty the truth.

Otherwise, he would have no idea how awkward it would be when he heard it.

"The pulse is gradually stabilizing, and the poison on His Royal Highness's body has probably been completely cured."

Jing Liangtu adjusted his sleeves expressionlessly.

Ling You, who was standing by the side, said in disbelief: "Is there really nothing serious?"

The imperial doctor took a look at Jing Liangtu, then cupped his hands and said to Ling You: "Don't worry, my lord, the next step is to support the drug treatment and it will be almost done."

Jing Liangtu lowered his eyes and said with a smile, "Thank you, the imperial physician."

Ling You has come to help him find famous doctors and medicines for many days, but perhaps the death of the villain is his fate, the hard work these days has not paid off, Ling You has nothing else to gain except for exhausting himself.

Seeing this, Jing Liangtu didn't want to toss any more.

Since this is his destiny, he doesn't intend to waste other people's life while he is alive.

The symptoms of this poison are not obvious, even pretending to be cured is not difficult.

These days, he and the imperial physician have been acting step by step, and sang the play to the last tonight.

Ling You believed it, believed that Ling Shuangzhu was really fine now.

He rewarded the imperial physician heavily, and he hugged Jing Liangtu in his arms, with tears in his eyes.

This kind of affection made Jing Liangtu extremely moved, he put his hand on Ling You's back, comforting him gently.

"Healed the disease", Ling You's birthday is coming soon.

It's just that Ling You is away all year round, and his birthday is always easy to forget, and he has hardly lived this kind of life since he was a child.

He is used to seeing the swords and halberds outside the Great Wall, so naturally he will not be nostalgic for the gentleness of his hometown.

Moreover, he seems to be used to being selfless. He never forgets Ling Shuangzhu's birthday. Every day, he would ask his colleagues what kind of objects a man as big as Ling Shuangzhu would love.

Ling You always cares about other people's affairs.

It's just that this year is the same as before, he completely forgot his birthday.

In order to celebrate Ling You's birthday with him, the night before that day, Xiao Qi invited Jing Liangtu to consult with him about the visit of foreign envoys tomorrow.

This matter is related to diplomacy. He specially prepared a lot of details that need to be discussed, and he is sure that Ling Shuangzhu will be too busy to stay tomorrow night.

Sometimes, Xiao Qi feels like a husband who uses work to keep his wife. Ling Shuangzhu is willing to stay with him just to understand the government, but if he wants to keep this person for himself, then he has to use more means.

Even Xu Xiu saw a trace of humility from this His Majesty for some reason.

Xiao Qi can be said to be full of confidence: "This matter is of great importance, you should not distinguish

Don't know the pros and cons?"

Unexpectedly, Jing Liangtu dismissed him as soon as he opened his mouth: "This matter is indeed of great importance, but I have important matters to deal with tomorrow, and I hope Your Majesty will take care of it."

Xiao Qi: "?"

After saying that, Jing Liangtu gave him a polite smile, then stood up mercilessly, left him and left.

Xiao Qi seemed to want to reach out and say something, but Jing Liangtu left without hesitation, he didn't even have time to say a word.

Looking at His Majesty's lonely figure, Xu Xiu actually thought of the couple in his friend's family who had a bad relationship.

When Ling You returned home from business, he habitually wanted to go to Ling Shuangzhu's room to take a look. When he walked into the yard, he realized that the candles in that room were actually extinguished.

His heart tensed for a moment.

When returning home from a trip, seeing the dark room of your loved ones really makes people feel a little bit suspicious and concerned.

Where did people go?

He pushed open the door, and at that moment, a candle light slowly lit up in the pitch-dark room, like the first firefly under the moonlit night, the first star after the clouds dissipated.

Ling Shuangzhu stood beside the orange candlelight, with a gentle smile, touching the candlestick with his fingertips, and his eyes were dyed with fire, which reminded him of the scattered lanterns on the Chengnan River.

His cousin has always been such a talented person with a dignified appearance that everyone will never forget.

This is his pride.

Ling You leaned against the door and said with a smile: "What are you doing? It's mysterious."

At the moment when the room was fully lit, Ling You saw a table full of good wine and food.

On the altar of sweet-scented osmanthus wine, there was a piece of red paper pasted on it, on which it was written in block lettersI wish my cousin a happy birthday and a healthy year.

He finally realized something, and his expression slowly froze.

How to interpret the definition of birthday?

He is a person who has fought on the battlefield, and his birthday is a family reunion. Only people who have a family reunion will play house. He is alone, and he will have nothing.

He even thought that if Ling Shuangzhu never meets someone he likes in his life, he can also take care of him as an elder brother for the rest of his life, and won't let any gossip hurt him.

Ling Shuangzhu was once thrown into the brothel by his close relatives and became a tool for receiving guests. I don't know if it was because of the influence of this, but he never mentioned it when he was obviously at the age of marrying a wife.

The two sat facing each other, warming the wine into their throats, and the warmth of home hit their hearts at this moment.

I don't know if he was affected by drunkenness, but Ling You couldn't help saying a lot to Ling Shuangzhu.

"You were very afraid of strangers when you were young, especially me...probably because I look fierce."

Ling You doesn't usually say these words, it's too nasty for a rough man like him.

But today, with the help of Jiu Jin, many words that are hidden in my heart on weekdays are all spoken out.

His cheeks were flushed, his eyebrows and eyes were rare and gentle, and he resisted a lot of fierceness: "At that time, you were only a little old, and your mother wanted you to please your father, so she forced you, taught you to be sweet, and taught you to look at peopleTalking about people, talking nonsense when seeing people, wiped out your child's innocence."

"At first, you cried when you saw me, but then for some reason, you became the person in the house who could sense my emotions the most, and you were so considerate like a little adult. Once I was injured outside, no one noticed it, only youAsk me if it hurts."

"The thing I regret the most in my life is to protect the country, but I never knew that when the world was peaceful, you entered a dusty place, and everyone betrayed their relatives."

"I am obviously the only one who can protect you, but at that time, I was not by your side."

He seemed to be really blaming himself, Jing Liangtu didn't know how to comfort him for a while, he just said: "Those things have already passed, don't bring up the old things again, now that we are doing well, there is no need to hate the yearsimpermanence."

Ling You looked at him with red eyes, and said every word with great solemnity: "Shuangzhu, you are so old, get a wife, my cousin can't take care of you forever."

Jing Liangtu's hand holding the wine glass stopped, he didn't expect Ling You to lay the groundwork for so long, so it was for this matter.

He coughed lightly to hide

Said: "Cousin, don't worry about this matter."

"Don't worry, bro."

Ling You looked at him with heavy eyes, and said very seriously: "I know those unbearable remarks. Although you don't care about them on the surface, those words may not hurt you. I am a rough person and I am not very good at taking care of others, but my wife can, if you marry a wife, many remarks will be self-defeating."

Jing Liangtu: "Cousin, how can I marry a wife because I need others to take care of me, not to mention, I'm not such a cowardly person."

However, Ling You held his hand and said, "No matter what, it's always good to have a look. If you don't like it, my cousin won't force you."

His expression was so determined, Jing Liangtu felt that he couldn't refuse this time.

He didn't expect that on weekdays Ling You didn't look like a showman, he didn't expect that he had considered so much for him silently, and even chose a blind date for him.

Taiwei's daughter, Yang Shangyin.

The location was set at the most luxurious restaurant in the imperial city.

Originally wanting to refuse, Jing Liangtu purposely wore only one of the most plain clothes, an indigo blue robe, without complicated moiré patterns and silver threads on it.

This dress is ordinary when worn on others, but it looks calm and elegant when worn on him, quite like a gentleman.

The woman he was on a blind date with didn't come for a long time, and Jing Liangtu didn't dare to leave even with Ling You watching over him, so he could only sit here peacefully drinking tea.

This time Ling You really put on his elder brother's airs and came out, just like a parent who is worried about their child's unhappiness, he really took some hard measures.

Although he will not force himself to be with someone he doesn't like, he is not allowed to choose to leave without even looking at him.

I don't know if it was because the poisoning incident really frightened him.

After an unknown amount of time, Ms. Yang, who was late, finally showed up.

She is dressed in Tsing Yi, graceful and graceful, possessing the soft beauty of a woman, but there is a rebellious stubbornness in her eyebrows and eyes.

It also seems to be reluctant.

Jing Liangtu raised his face and met her gaze.

The moment their eyes met, the reluctance in Yang Shangyin's eyes turned into amazement.

She was pleasantly surprised: "So it's you?"

Jing Liangtu was stunned for a moment before he could react: "What's wrong with me?"

Yang Shangyin sat across from him, and said with a smile: "Young master, could it be that you forgot that it was raining before, and you were the one who gave me the umbrella, but you got caught in the rain?"

Ling You, who was hiding in the dark, frowned.

And this?

Did Ling Shuangzhu get caught in the rain behind her back?

When did this happen?Is there any uncomfortable place on your body?

But he couldn't interrupt their chat rashly, he could only hold this worry in his heart and swallow it silently.

"It turned out to be you." Jing Liangtu said with a smile: "I haven't accomplished much in my life, so it's great to be able to help others."

Yang Shangyin also laughed, and looked at him with his face up: "After that, I was still a little scared, worried that I would never see him again."

Jing Liangtu said in a regular manner: "If there is a destiny, we will meet each other."

The smile in Yang Shangyin's eyes deepened, and he couldn't help but ask him, "I don't know what kind of young master likes it?"

Jing Liangtu was stunned.

He really hadn't thought about it well.

What do you like?

He didn't know either.

He settled down to think about this question seriously, but he didn't realize that the sound of heavy footsteps was getting closer.

He didn't know that he was being watched by an uninvited guest.

Jing Liangtu thought for a long time, and finally raised his eyelashes to look at her, and said very seriously: "I think, I should like the kind of person who will never give up on me no matter how bad or incompetent I am."

Yang Shangyin was stunned and said: "How can you be such a bad person, young master?"

Xiao Qi didn't hear the two people's conversation clearly.

But the picture of the smiling woman talking happily with that person, for some reason, is particularly dazzling.
