Mo Xia felt in a daze that someone carried him into the bathtub.

The warm water covered his limbs and bones, and he leaned on the man's chest, letting the man's fingers comb his hair, and wipe every inch of his skin with a soft cloth.

When he was pressed on the bed by Lu Chenzhang, he was still groggy, feeling that something beyond his control might happen, and subconsciously crossed his arms across his chest: "Your Highness..."

Lu Chenzhang folded Mo Ya's wrist on top of his head with one hand, and sprayed his scorching breath into Mo Ya's ear: "Ah Ya, be good, don't be afraid."

While talking, he untied Mo Ya's belt with the other hand, and then went all the way down.

"Your Highness...don't..." Under the effect of Chunqingsan, Mo Xia gradually lost consciousness.

In a trance, I only heard Lu Chenzhang repeating: "Good boy, don't be afraid..."

…………

Mo Xia opened his eyes, it was already the afternoon of the second day.

The sunlight stimulated Mo Ya's eyes, causing him to close them again abruptly.

The wide palm covered Mo Ya's eyelids, and the owner of the palm said with a satisfied smile, "I'm awake."

All the flashes of last night played back in Mo Ya's mind.

Mo Xia opened Lu Chenzhang's hand violently.

Lu Chenzhang was not angry either, and looked at Mo Ya with a smile: "Ah Ya is so ruthless, it wasn't like that when she begged me last night."

Mo Xia looked at Lu Chenzhang in horror, and couldn't help but shrink back, but he didn't hurt the wound, and hissed in pain.

Lu Chenzhang restrained his smile, and made a gesture to lift the brocade quilt: "I took the medicine yesterday, so the pain should be gone. Don't move, Aya, let me see."

"Get out." Mo Ya pressed the quilt tightly, "Get out."

Lu Chenzhang's hands froze on the quilt, staring at Mo Xia.After a long time, he chuckled: "Forget it, you probably don't want to see me now. I'll let Tingyue take care of me, is that okay?"

Seeing that Mo Xia didn't speak, Lu Chenzhang was not annoyed either.

Years of long-cherished wishes have been fulfilled, and in front of him is Ah Ya who he loves the most, so of course he can't bear to get angry.

only……

He put his hands on the quilt that Mo Ya was covering.

Feeling the weight on his body, Mo Xia froze and dared not move.

"Aya, you need to get used to this kind of thing earlier." Lu Chenzhang patted Mo Ya, casually, "I don't care about it this time, it's just Aya, don't run away again next time, you understand."

After speaking, Lu Chenzhang got up and left.

Afterwards, Du Tingyue walked in.

"I've seen you, son."

Du Tingyue knelt in front of the bed and saluted, seemingly not surprised by what happened before her eyes.

"Tingyue..."

Mo Xia and Du Tingyue have the best relationship. After what happened last night, they already have nowhere to vent their grievances.Seeing an acquaintance at this time, even if they are Lu Chenzhang's subordinates, still makes him feel at ease and belonging.

"You help me up."

Du Tingyue stepped forward as he said, and helped Mo Xia to sit up.

Being treated like this by Lu Chenzhang last night, and seeing their mutual acquaintance today, Mo Xia is inevitably embarrassed,

The two looked at each other speechlessly, and it was Mo Ya who broke the silence first.

"Ting Yue, where is Ah Chun now? Where is Yun Ding? And those hidden guards, how are they doing?"

Du Tingyue said: "Young master, Ah Chun was ordered to take care of you, and the secret guard was ordered to protect your safety, but such a big mistake happened, this is a capital crime."

Mo Xia opened his eyes wide: "It can't be their fault."

He knew that Lu Chenzhang would be angry if he left the house without telling Lu Chenzhang's eyeliner, but he didn't expect the consequences to be so serious.

Du Tingyue continued: "My lord, it's because of their ineffectiveness. If something happens to your lord, they will die."

"But I'm fine." Mo Xia was anxious, "Tingyue, what can you do to save them?"

Du Tingyue shook his head: "Young master, this subordinate is incompetent."

"How could it be?" Mo Xia raised his voice, "Tingyue, aren't you His Highness's confidant? Go and beg His Highness."

"My lord." Du Tingyue smiled wryly, "How can a subordinate influence His Highness's thoughts. No one can save them unless you personally intercede."

"I..." Mo Xia was stunned.

He and Lu Chenzhang grew up together in the cold palace.Lu Chenzhang was strict and cruel, but he was always gentle and patient with him, no matter how angry he was, he never said a harsh word.

He has always regarded His Highness as his best friend, but last night, His Highness actually...

Mo Ya is still unwilling to accept this fact, even, he can't help but wonder what His Highness thinks of him.

"Young master." Du Tingyue saw Mo Ya's thoughts, she hesitated for a moment, and persuaded, "Your Highness was out of breath yesterday, that's why he did that. But His Highness's thoughts on you are definitely not treating you like those Israelites’s pet.”

"Tingyue, stop talking." Mo Xia interrupted, hugging her knees, "Stop talking."

Seeing Mo Ya like this, Du Tingyue sighed slightly.

His Highness wanted to proceed step by step, and did not want to scare the young master.But the young master ran out of the other courtyard yesterday, which really touched His Highness's back.

"My lord, my subordinates will be guarding outside. If you need anything, please tell your subordinates directly."

"I..." Mo Ya hesitated, and after a long while, he finally opened his mouth as if making up his mind, his voice was as thin as a mosquito, "Your Highness, will you come again today?"

Du Tingyue was taken aback for a moment, and soon she wanted to understand why Mo Ya asked such a question.

"The subordinates don't know."

"Tingyue." Mo Xia clutched the quilt, obviously fearful but determined, "Can you go and ask for me?"

"Okay. Young master, this subordinate will go now."

Mo Ya kept looking at Du Tingyue, with his arms around his knees.It wasn't until Du Tingyue walked out that his shoulders collapsed and he breathed a sigh of relief.

…………

"He wants to see Gu?" Lu Chenzhang paused his hand reviewing the memorial, and put down his ink brush, "I'm afraid seeing Gu is a lie, but pleading with Ah Chun is the truth."

Du Tingyue didn't dare to answer, and said respectfully: "Your Highness, how should I reply to Young Master?"

"Hmm..." Lu Chenzhang leaned against the back of the chair, with a smile on his lips, "Go and answer, just say that Gu has something important to do today, and you may not be able to go to his place tonight."

Du Tingyue bowed his head: "Yes."

When they passed the courtyard, Du Yunding and others were still kneeling in place.The two looked at each other, and Du Tingyue nodded slightly.

After Du Tingyue left, Du Yunding's heart relaxed, and it was inevitable that he would feel a little lucky for the rest of his life.

I don't know where the young master learned the oral skills in the past five years. He can imitate other people's voices so vividly.And because Ah Chun was similar in stature to him, he managed to fool all the hidden guards in his haste.

How could he not know what happened last night.The son is kind, and he is willing to intercede for them even if he cannot protect himself.

He doesn't hate the young master, this is Ajiu's negligence, and they deserved the punishment.I only hope that the young master can figure it out as soon as possible, otherwise, he will only be the one suffering.

When Mo Ya learned that Lu Chenzhang might not come at night, he was struck by a thunderbolt.

A-Jiu has never been sorry for him, if A-Jiu died because of him, he would feel guilty for the rest of his life.

Du Tingyue didn't dare to comment on His Highness's decision, and could only comfort him: "Young Master, don't worry."

"How can I not be in a hurry." Mo Ya forgot all fears, endured the weakness in his waist, and walked out the door, "Where is Your Highness? I will go find him."

"My lord..." Before Du Tingyue finished speaking, Mo Ya had already opened the door.Just as he was about to go out, the guards outside the door stopped Mo Ya.

"Young master, Your Highness has ordered you not to go out."

Mo Ya was forced to stop, and looked back at Du Tingyue, in disbelief: "Tingyue."

Du Tingyue went forward to close the door, a little afraid to look at Mo Ya: "My lord, His Highness ordered you this morning, you are not allowed to leave this room without his permission."

Mo Xia was almost unable to stand still, Du Tingyue hurriedly supported him: "My lord, please sit down and rest for a while."

Mo Xia was anxious: "How can I rest?"

"My lord, you can rest assured, His Highness didn't say no."

"Really?" Mo Ya looked at Du Tingyue, as if grasping at straws, and selectively misinterpreted Du Tingyue's meaning, "Will His Highness really come?"

Of course His Highness will come to see you, but Du Tingyue did not dare to say so, so he could only bite the bullet and say: "Your Highness is busy with work, but he attaches great importance to you. You should have some meals first, and then take a nap. If you are not sure, His Highness will come soon."gone."

The matter of Ah Chun lingered in Mo Ya's heart like a shadow, and under great panic, Mo Ya sat by the window, watching the sky darken little by little, counting the time anxiously.

Lu Chenzhang originally wanted to hang out Moya, but when the secret guard came to report that Moya was useless for lunch and dinner, he couldn't sit still for a moment.

Mo Xia kept paying attention to the courtyard gate, and when he saw Lu Chenzhang's figure, he immediately stood up.

Fortunately, nervousness and fear mixed with various emotions, and some confusion that could not be realized, made his heart beat wildly.

When Lu Chenzhang entered the room, he first glanced at the untouched food.

"Your Highness." Mo Xia called timidly, wanting to go forward, but a little afraid.

Lu Chenzhang walked up to Mo Ya, and put a finger against Mo Ya's lips.

"Aya, those who are disobedient will be punished."
