The bedroom suddenly became quiet, and a subtle atmosphere emerged.
Shen Qingzhuo was suppressed by him, and his smiling eyes slid from his sword-like eyebrows and phoenix eyes to his straight nose and thin lips, and then looked back at his dark and deep eyes, and his heart was soft.
Time flies, and his Xiao Qi finally grows up to be such a handsome young emperor.
“Why did Master look at me like this?” Xiao Shen moved closer, and his slender fingers tentatively touched the soft lips.
“If you’re hungry, ask the kitchen to serve some food.” His peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, and the tip of his red tongue touched his fingertips vaguely. The corners of his eyes, which were stained light red, curled up affectionately, like a hook pinching people’s hearts.
Two flames suddenly ignited in the depths of his dark pupils, and Xiao Shen asked in a hoarse voice, “What if I… don’t want to eat those?”
Shen Qingzhuo seemed unaware and smiled very attractively, “Then what do you want to eat…?”
The open red lips were blocked, and the powerful tongue gradually pried open the teeth skillfully and entangled the helpless tongue tip.
Different from previous kisses, the young man seemed more impatient this time. His fierce kiss almost swallowed up the person. His tongue tip licked the sensitive upper jaw heavily, as if he were someone who was about to die of thirst, frantically searching for every drop of sweet and fragrant saliva.
“Umm…” The air gradually became thinner. Shen Qingzhuo was kissed so hard that he couldn’t breathe. His charming peach blossom eyes were covered with a layer of watery color. His snow-white wrists, which were held down, couldn’t help but struggle.
“Master…” After kissing him all over, the hot lips and tongue slightly withdrew, leaving a series of hot and wet kiss marks. “Xiao Qi was so hungry that I wanted to eat Master, will Master let me…”
Shen Qingzhuo’s eyes narrowed slightly, and his fingers that were released unconsciously grabbed the silk quilt under him.
After being bedridden for a month, his master became extremely thin, but he still had plenty of flesh where he should have. It could be said to be a natural talent.
His hot lips kissed the protruding ankle, and the gold chain pendant swayed slightly. Xiao Shen laughed hoarsely, “Master is so obedient. You have been wearing your anklet well.”
“How outrageous…” Shen Qingzhuo cursed softly, but the ending tone was unusually soft, so the intimidation was naturally greatly reduced.
Xiao Shen tightly grasped the straight and slender calf and admitted frankly, “En, I was too rude to Master.”
Shen Qingzhuo couldn’t help but recall the memory of being well served. His bones itched for a moment, and he called out impatiently, “Xiao Qi…”
“En, I’m here.” Xiao Shen responded, his crazy and burning gaze always on his face.
Shen Qingzhuo panted lightly, and suddenly, in anger, he grabbed his little disciple’s tied-up black hair and pulled him up forcefully…
……
Having just recovered from a serious illness, Shen Qingzhuo was still weak. Every breath he took seemed to be squeezed out of his lungs, with a pitiful crying tone that made one tremble with fear.
“Master, Master…” Xiao Shen was so distressed that he could not express it in words. He used his lips and tongue tenderly to help his master breathe and called his master tenderly and affectionately over and over again.
“Re, rebel…” Shen Qingzhuo trembled and raised his hand to slap him, but his hand was grabbed and kissed repeatedly.
“I am the one who committed rebellion, I am the one who committed insubordination, and I am also the one who loves Master the most…” Xiao Shen was like a beast with red eyes, his voice was hoarse, “So, don’t leave me, Master…”
The rich and fragrant scent of plum blossoms spread into the air, and a breeze that came from nowhere disturbed the fluttering curtains around the dragon bed.
Over the past month, the flower that he had protected in his heart and had been withering day by day finally opened its petals again in his palm, and it was so beautiful that it was beyond description…
***
The sky suddenly became bright, and a snow-white arm covered with red dots stretched out from the curtain. It was quickly grasped by another big hand and slowly taken back.
“It’s still early, Master, continue to sleep…” Xiao Shen kissed the thin skin on the wrist gently, without taking his eyes off him.
“You still kiss…” The hoarse voice was a little tearful, and his red and swollen eyelids were half closed sleepily. Shen Qingzhuo felt very aggrieved. “It’s all on fire…”
“Where’s the fire?” Xiao Shen laughed dully, his lazy and satisfied look like the king of beasts who had eaten and drunk his fill, “How about I kiss again to cool down?”
“Get lost…” Shen Qingzhuo cursed softly, turned around, and lay on the quilt, ignoring him.
Looking at the undulating curves in front of him, Xiao Shen’s eyes changed slightly. He thought to himself that his master was really defenseless against him. He cried so pitifully last night, and he dared to even do that this morning…
“I’m going to the morning court first.” Forcing himself to calm down, he leaned over and kissed his snow-white shoulders, “Master, wait for me to come back.”
So during the morning court session, all the civil and military officials could see that the emperor was in a good mood that day.
“Your Majesty, the humble minister believes that the corruption case in Suzhou is no accident.” Pei Yanqi said. “The court should strike while the iron is hot and send people to various prefectures and counties to thoroughly investigate all officials and eliminate the bad apples in one fell swoop.”
“Pei qing is right.” The emperor’s tone was as profound and difficult to understand as always. “According to what Lord Pei said, who should be sent?”
Pei Yanqi replied, “The humble minister will obey Your Majesty’s will.”
The emperor tapped the armrest of the dragon chair with his fingertips and asked slowly, “Is there any of Aiqing who would like to recommend yourself?”
Civil and military officials exchanged glances secretly, and no one dared to take on this heavy responsibility.
The Qi family fell overnight, and everyone in the court, both civil and military, felt insecure, fearing that the blade of judgment would fall on their heads at any time.
What’s more, the smaller the temple, the stronger the evil spirits[mfn]If your circle of life is too small, it will be easier to be at a loss when encountering things.[/mfn], the local officials are interdependent, and the interests are complicated. When the court sends people to thoroughly investigate corruption cases, it is often difficult to get to the bottom of it.
If they can’t find out, the emperor will either think that they are not doing their job well or that they are taking benefits to protect local officials. In short, it is a very difficult and unpopular job.
The Jinluan Palace fell into silence.
The emperor’s deep gaze swept over the ministers one by one, and suddenly he sneered coldly.
The courtiers in the front row were terrified and lowered their heads even more, trying to reduce their presence.
At this time, Xue Yan, the Right Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, stepped out and said in a deep voice, “The humble minister is willing to follow the Imperial Censor to inspect the various states and share the worries of Your Majesty.”
The ministers breathed a sigh of relief.
The emperor nodded slightly to show his approval and soon left the court.
After the court session, Xiao Shen privately summoned the divine physician.
The divine physician knelt down and saluted: “Your Majesty.”
He was originally a free and unrestrained person, but somehow he entered the palace and had to pay his respects to the emperor according to secular etiquette.
“Divine Physician doesn’t have to be so polite.” Xiao Shen’s attitude improved a lot. “Zhen asked Divine Physician to come here today because Zhen has something important to ask you.”
Miao Shou bowed: “Your Majesty, please speak.”
Xiao Shen stood beside the desk and asked, “When will Master’s body be completely healed?”
“This…” Miao Shou frowned, “Lord Shen was born with a weak constitution and has been attacked by toxins for a long time. It will not be easy to recover from this serious illness.”
Xiao Shen tightened his grip and spoke in a low voice, “You mean Master will always be sick?”
“It takes time for the ice to freeze three feet thick.” Miao Shou sighed imperceptibly, “I can only take good care of him until I return to the divine physician valley, I will look through the medical books left by my master. Maybe I can find a cure.”
Xiao Shen breathed a sigh of relief. There was hope after all.
He bowed solemnly, “In this case, Master’s illness will have to rely on Divine Physician to cure.”
“I don’t deserve it.” Miao Shou returned the favor.
“And there’s one more thing.” Xiao Shen carefully considered it and asked in a low voice, “Given Master’s current physical condition, can he withstand the intense…”
Miao Shou was stunned for a moment. “What intense?”
Xiao Shen calmly replied, “The clouds and rain matter[mfn]It refers to s*xual intercourse.[/mfn].”
“Cough, cough, cough…” Miao Shou coughed in shock and quickly replied, “Given Lord Shen’s current physical condition, it’s best not to overwork—”
“We can’t let Master output his strength?” Xiao Shen interrupted him, “Zhen won’t let Master work hard.”
Miao Shou: “……”
“Still try not to—still try to be gentler.” Miao Shou looked at the emperor’s expression and changed his words, “Occasionally once or twice, it’s fine.”
This time it was Xiao Shen who was silent.
Last night, he felt sorry for his master because he had just recovered from a serious illness. He tried his best to restrain himself, but today he got another sudden disaster.
Once or twice occasionally…
Once or twice…
A light bulb suddenly flashed in his mind, and Xiao Shen quickly asked, “Is it Master or me?”
Miao Shou: “……”
***
When Shen Qingzhuo woke up again, it was already after noon.
“Are you awake, Master?” Soon, a deep and charming voice sounded in his ears. A hand lifted the scattered bed curtains and leaned over to give him a gentle kiss. “Are you hungry, Master?”
Shen Qingzhuo buried his face in the quilt in shame and annoyance, unwilling to pay attention to him.
Xiao Shen laughed deeply, sat down beside the bed, and coaxed softly in a low voice, “Then are you thirsty, Master? Have some water?”
The body wrapped in the thin quilt shivered, Shen Qingzhuo snorted lightly and replied unhappily, “Go away ah, I don’t want to see you…”
“What’s wrong?” Xiao Shen raised his hand and gently massaged his master’s shoulders and neck, his breath overlapping with the hoarse voice in the night, “Is it because I didn’t let Master….”
Shen Qingzhuo shouted angrily, “Xiao Shen!”
“It’s so nice, Master calls my name so nicely.” Xiao Shen smiled happily, “Master, why didn’t you call my name last night?”
Shen Qingzhuo raised his hand and pinched him hard, scolding him with the same two words, “You are rebellious, you betray your master and ancestors!”
“Alright, alright, I’ll give Master some ointment.” Before his master got upset, Xiao Shen said seriously, “This is the ointment prescribed by the Imperial Medical. I heard it’s very effective.”
Feeding those quack physicians with good food and drink finally had some effect.
Shen Qingzhuo turned his head and asked, “Did you ask the Imperial Medical for it yourself?”
“Of course—” Xiao Shen turned around and said, “Of course not.”
Shen Qingzhuo was no longer shy. After all, they had done more intimate things before, so what was the big deal about applying ointment? The rebellious had tortured him so badly, so he should serve him well and make him feel comfortable.
After a while—
“Xiao Xiaoqi!” There was vivid anger in his peach blossom eyes. Shen Qingzhuo’s chest heaved up and down with anger. “I will expel you from my sect!”
“En…” Xiao Shen pressed forward to kiss the soft lips and smiled shamelessly with his lower lip in his mouth, “Then what? Will Master be responsible for me?”
Shen Qingzhuo was stunned; his long, curly eyelashes blinked, as if he had never thought about this problem.
“What?” He narrowed his phoenix eyes, and Xiao Shen pressed against his master dangerously, “Could it be that Master has no intention of taking responsibility for me?”
Shen Qingzhuo took a breath. “Thirsty, Master’s throat hurts…”
With a sentence that seemed both true and false, the crisis was easily resolved.
Xiao Shen leaned over and picked his master up, placed him in his arms, then took the teacup and brought it to his master’s lips.
With his hand, Shen Qingzhuo drank half a cup and licked his lips unconsciously, “Sweet.”
“I added honey.” Xiao Shen lowered his eyes and stared at him and smiled, “Is it sweet? Let me taste it.”
Having said that, he pinched his pointed chin with his big hand and lifted his face to receive his kiss.
“Hmm…” The remaining sweetness in his mouth was swept away. Shen Qingzhuo’s breathing became difficult again. He frowned and bit his tangled tongue.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Shen’s breathing suddenly became rapid, and his movements became more and more excessive. “Master, I really want to eat…”
“Your Majesty, Lord Pei and Lord Lin request an audience!” At the critical moment, the eunuch’s announcement came from outside the palace gate.
After a while, an angry response came from the bedchamber: “Summon!”
The two lords stepped into the inner hall one after the other, only to see Lord Shen lying against the head of the bed, with his three thousand black silk hairs slightly disheveled behind his head, and his body still tightly wrapped in a thin quilt even in the hot weather.
The emperor stood in front of the table, gulping down cold tea with a handsome and innocent face, and his whole body was filled with extremely low pressure.
The two lords looked at each other, thinking that the master and disciple had another fierce argument again.
“Lord Pei, Lord Lin.” Shen Qingzhuo blushed and asked calmly, “Is there anything urgent?”
No one could have guessed that Lord Shen, who looked pure and innocent at the moment, was actually a mess under the thin quilt.
