MTL - Let Me Pursue You-Chapter 70 070

Yuan Cixian didn't go to look for Xu Shan, nor did she go to Lu Shiqing, but just took a carriage and went back and forth in Yongxingfang, from one alley to another, and it took half an hour to turn around. When he was leaving the gate of the workshop, he finally went to Lu's mansion, but because it was already night, he did not rush in. He only asked the servants in front of the mansion if Lu Shiqing had rested.

Because Lu Shiqing had been unconscious since returning home, Cao An was just about to go out to seek medical advice again. When he saw her in a hurry, he couldn't help being startled. The servant came forward and said, "Is the county master here to look for your husband?"

Yuan Cixian stood in front of the door without answering and asked instead: "It's late at night, where are you going?"

He scratched his head and said: "The villain remembers a confession from your lord before going to sleep, and wants to do it quickly at night, so as not to be punished tomorrow."

Lu Shiqing had so many official duties every day, so Yuan Cixian didn't care about everything, so he didn't care too much, and asked, "Has he rested yet?"

He continued to smile as calmly as possible: "No, Mr. Lang has just finished his work and is taking a shower. Would you like to go in and wait for him?"

Lu Shiqing usually didn't go to bed so early, and he said this as a gamble, intending to allay Yuan Cixian's doubts.

Yuan Cixian really waved her hand and said: "It's almost curfew, I'll go back first. You tell him to rest early after taking a bath, and you don't need to say that I have been here." After she finished speaking, she nodded to say goodbye, and turned her head. got the carriage.

Cao secretly let out a sigh of relief, turned his head and walked through the secret road to invite the doctor arranged by Zheng Zhuo, and then sent the doctor away. He returned to Lu Shiqing's bedroom, and kept vigil for him with anxiety, not daring to close his eyes for a moment.

Even Xuanshi and Lu Shuangyu kept the matter of Lu Shiqing's injury a secret. The past few hours had consumed Cao An's acting skills all his life. If he doesn't wake up again, his hair will turn grey.

Cao An moved a low stool and sat silently beside Lu Shiqing's bed. Since his high fever had not subsided, he would change his handkerchief to cover his forehead from time to time. He waited until midnight before he saw that his gray, almost transparent face had a little blood on it. , approaching dawn, finally saw him open his eyes.

His eyes became hot, and he almost pounced on a wolf, but Lu Shiqing, who was still weak, stopped him with a finger: "Don't get excited, I'm not dead yet..."

Lu Shiqing only had one day to recuperate, the next day it was his turn to accompany Emperor Huining, and the day after tomorrow was the court meeting. He can't be absent, and if he doesn't show up, it may arouse King Ping's suspicion.

So throughout the whole day, Cao An tried his best to take care of him, wishing to treat the twelve hours as twelve days, and waited until dusk, seeing that Lu Shiqing's complexion improved, before he dared to leave him for a while.

Just then I received a letter. The letter was written by Yuan Cixian to "Xu Shan", and it was sent to Lu Mansion by Zheng Zhuo's people. After he got it, he couldn't help but his heart sank. He was afraid that there would be some love words about you and me in it, telling the man who finally survived to die again, so he quietly hid it in his sleeve, intending to suppress it for the time being.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he returned to Lu Shiqing's bedroom with some thin porridge, he was asked by the person who was leaning on the side of the bed and spooning soup and medicine: "You said that girl came last night?"

Cao An gave a low "ah" and raised his eyes slightly: "Yes..."

Seeing his startled reaction, Lu Shiqing looked sideways in an instant.

His little acting skills are useless when he comes to his own hot-eyed husband. He dared not move due to deterrence, but he was still found out. Hearing Lu Shiqing put down the porcelain bowl with a "snap", he said coldly: "It's in the sleeves." Hide it, take it out."

He sighed and presented it boldly.

Lu Shiqing's eyes fell on the cover and flickered slightly.

Seeing that his pale hand froze, Cao An wanted to take the letter back: "Mr. Lang, why don't we stop reading it?"

Lu Shiqing was also hesitating in his heart, as if he had been terrified by a letter for the first time in his life, but he finally took it and opened it, sat up straight and read it.

It was Yuan Cixian's handwriting that was good, a little more cursive than when she wrote a love poem to him last time. She wrote: "Mr. , I should be by your side and take care of you. However, being forced by the current situation, I have no choice but to retreat, and I feel very guilty. I only hope that you have woken up when this letter is written, and you will be able to recover as usual in a few days."

Lu Shiqing tightened his hand holding the letter, and continued to look down.

"Sir, you have repeatedly risked life and death for the Great Zhou Society. Your high righteousness is admirable. I also hate my lack of talent. I am hindered by this body. I am unable to go to the temple to punish **** and eliminate evil. I will be with you and the people of the world. With one heart and one effort, we will help the people together, and we will return to the Qingming River and Mountains in Dazhou.

What I want is beyond my power, so I only struggle to survive in the ups and downs of officialdom, in order not to be swallowed by the flood, not to be rotted by rotten trees, not to be worn down by knives and stones, not easy to be sincere, and so on. "

His heart ached slightly, he turned over a piece of paper, and looked at it again.

"Mr. friendship, I have already understood it in my heart, but I may not be able to respond in this life. I also don't talk about the afterlife. The distant promise is hard to fulfill, and the day and night are still indisputable. How about the future after a hundred years?"

"I tossed and turned and thought all night, and the only thing I could think of was that I could repay my husband now, that is, from now on, I should take my husband's wish as my wish, and my husband's will as my will. But one day, the four regions will have I have a place where I can use my skills, even if it is in the south and the north, I will go. I have failed my husband, and I hope that I will no longer lose the life in my heart.

The book is short and full of meaning. The current situation is turbulent and there are enemies on all sides. Mr. Wan Wang cherishes himself. Sincerely, Ci Xian. "

At the end of the letter, Lu Shiqing froze in place.

Seeing this, Cao An hurriedly asked, "Lang Jun, what did you say in the letter?"

Lu Shiqing blinked very slowly, as if he was too shocked, he didn't speak for a while.

"Xu Shan" actually didn't make a clear statement to Yuan Cixian, but she was sure when she was sure, and she didn't cowardly evade, and she didn't ask carefully, and she responded straightforwardly. To the extent that Lu Shiqing never expected that when he was painstakingly preparing to see her express her feelings to "Xu Shan", what appeared in front of him was such a rejection letter.

He couldn't help being surprised.

Surprised by her free and easy, her decisive, her frankness. Surprised by her bravery in breaking new ground. Surprised that she put the love of her children into the love of her family and country.

For a moment, it seemed that he was not Lu Shiqing, but Xu Shan who she chose to let down in the letter.

He didn't feel lucky for Lu Shiqing who might have won by the marriage contract, he just felt distressed, very, very distressed.

He suddenly longed to see her.

After a long silence, Lu Shiqing said, "Help me go to the Yuan Mansion."

Cao An was horrified, what's the matter, want to break off the engagement?

He said: "Your Majesty, the marriage contract is not easy to come by, don't be too **** yourself!"

Lu Shiqing glanced at him: "Tell Yuan Cixian that I'm sick, and tell her to use her conscience to decide whether she wants to see me."

Cao An clacked: "No... sir, are you ready for a showdown?" He said to himself, "A showdown is fine..."

"Who said I'm going to have a showdown?" Lu Shiqing interrupted him, "It's not now."

"What's wrong now? The villain sees you too bitterly."

Lu Shiqing sighed, the mess of "Xu Shan" has been out of control until now, and it really needs to be resolved as soon as possible. After this letter, he has already begun to think about confessing, but it is definitely not the moment.

He explained: "What do you think of the relationship between 'Xu Shan' and Yuan Cixian from King Ping's point of view?"

Cao An affirmed: "After what happened yesterday, it is naturally considered a life-and-death friendship."

"Then what does King Ping think about my relationship with Yuan Cixian?"

"You and the county lord are unmarried couples, and you have been together all the way south, so you are naturally close."

Lu Shiqing nodded: "That's right."

Cao An instantly understood. In fact, even if Lang Jun secretly changed the assassin's information, what Xu Shan did yesterday would inevitably remind Ping Wang of him.

"Prince Ping will not directly suspect me, but he will inevitably have to test it, so he will definitely have a deal with Yuan Cixian recently." Lu Shiqing explained, "She doesn't know anything, it is the best and safest. Wait Now that the crisis is over, I will find an opportunity to explain it to her. Now," he looked at Cao An, and said coldly, "tell her right away, I have a cold, hurry up."

Seeing that he lost his patience, Cao An hurriedly turned his head to do it, and said halfway through, "Mr. Lang, your house can be tidied up without revealing any flaws, but you don't have a cold face, don't... "Don't be naughty.

Lu Shiqing's face darkened, and he said coldly: "Ask Shuangyu to bring some makeup powder, if you want it to be bland, it looks like it hasn't been put on."

"..."

Lu Shiqing claimed that this was a rehearsal, and only if he didn't reveal his secrets in front of Yuan Cixian, could he pass the test in the future. Cao An had no choice but to pretend that he didn't know what he was thinking, and did so with the corners of his mouth twitching.

When Yuan Cixian arrived, Lu Shiqing was lying on the corner of the bed wrapped in a quilt, the **** smell around her body was gone, the wound medicine was also covered by the strong smell of soup, the bandage was hidden in the underwear, her complexion and even the color of her lips, Everything is just right and perfect.

Yuan Cixian hurried to his bed: "What's the matter, didn't you feel fine the day before yesterday?" As she spoke, she touched his forehead, and it was really hot when touched, and she couldn't help but wonder, "Lu Shiqing, why are you making trouble every day? Is it cold?"

She can still vividly remember the scene of him lying in bed due to the wind and cold last time.

Lu Shiqing coughed twice, with a slightly painful expression on his face. The cough is affecting the wound, his pain is real, and the fever has not completely subsided, so it is almost a matter of course if he doesn't need to act.

He said weakly, "Why are you here?"

Yuan Cixian choked: "Didn't you ask Cao An to come to me?"

She stayed up all night because of Xu Shan's matter, and only at dawn did she make a quick plan to cut through the mess. She drafted and sent the letter early in the morning, and she finally felt better. Unexpectedly, Cao An was so anxious as if Lu Shiqing was about to die, so she hurried over.

Lu Shiqing shook his head to indicate no: "He made it up on his own."

Yuan Cixian couldn't understand their master and servant, and thought that since he came, he would take care of him just like last time, don't let him fall into the root of the disease, and he will be weak and weak every now and then.

She glanced around, twisted the veil, put it on his forehead, saw him curled up in the corner of the bed, and asked, "What are you doing wrapping yourself up so tightly, it's not easy to dissipate heat?"

Of course, Lu Shiqing was afraid that the wound would be exposed, so he made an excuse: "I'm cold."

Yuan Cixian had never had a cold, and she didn't know whether she should cover up tightly in this situation, so she hesitated and said, "Then..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Shiqing pulled her over with a hand stretched out from under the quilt.

With a "bang", she fell on his bed, subconsciously supported herself with her elbows, as if she had fallen stupidly, looked down at him in a daze, and said, "...what are you doing?"

Lu Shiqing wanted to do something, but it was a pity that the exertion of force really hurt his muscles and bones. He resisted the throbbing pain at the wound, and calmly said: "The opening of this bed is too big, you should block the wind."

"..."

Yuan Cixian maintained the so-called wind-shielding posture that was twisted to a bit enchanting, glanced at the boots that she had already stepped on on his couch, and said in surprise: "Lu Shiqing, I didn't take a bath, and I didn't take off my shoes. You are burning stupid, Are you no longer a clean freak?"

Lu Shiqing glanced at her shoes and said with a headache, "I forgot, so you can't take them off by yourself?"

Yuan Cixian scoffed at him, and raised his arms: "I'd better move you a stone to block the wind."

Lu Shiqing's head hurt even more, so he had to reach out and grab her arm again, frowning: "Yuan Cixian, do you really understand or are you pretending to understand?"

She stopped and looked back at him.

Of course she understands, but she still doesn't understand, isn't she a stupid ass? But why is he so nervous. Although the marriage was agreed upon, they were not so close to the point of climbing a collapse.

It is estimated that sick men are particularly vulnerable and need the care of their fiancées. Yuan Cixian thought to himself.

But she believes that Lu Shiqing, who has always been very face-saving, has a different heart, and a mouth harder than a rock, will definitely give in and never reveal his true intentions, so she insists on pretending to be stupid: "What do I want to know?"

Unexpectedly, he went uncharacteristically as if he had taken the wrong medicine, looked at her steadily and said, "I'm not feeling well, I want you to sleep with me for a while."
