Chapter 22
Qiuhua didn't notice the shirt on the bed. After she went out, Chen Zui picked up the shirt and looked up and down, thinking that it should be the one Yu Cheng had just worn.
He picked it up and sniffed it gently. The faint fragrance was mixed with a faint masculine smell, as if there was still a warmth in his body.
Chen Zui pursed his lips, his face was a little red, and he folded the shirt and placed it under the pillow he didn't use often. His bed was big and there were two pillows, but no one had ever used the other pillow.
I really don’t know if Yu Cheng used this trick or whether he was honest and innocent or his skills were excellent.
Chen Zui lay on the bed for a while, and suddenly heard a hustle and bustle coming from outside. He walked to the window and took a look, and saw that the imperial guards guarding the Little Rose Palace had all withdrawn.
The emperor's poisoning incident has become more and more serious. Recently, major newspapers and radio stations have been reporting on this incident, but the murderer has never been found. However, it is not a long-term solution to detain the imperial court's relatives in the palace for a long time. Yu Rong lifted the ban in the palace, and Yu Huaiyong and others left the palace almost immediately. The cars drove out of the Little Rose Palace one by one, and Qiu Hua knocked on the door and came in:
"Yu Xiang invites you to Baihua Palace."
Chen Zui came out of the bedroom and happened to meet Yu Cheng who was going out. Yu Cheng looked calm and nodded slightly to him.
Chen Zui nodded to him expressionlessly, and then took Qiuhua out.
His indifference made Yu Cheng stunned for a moment.
He almost suspected that Chen Zui had not seen the shirt he left behind. However, Chen Zui was not there, and he couldn't rashly enter his bedroom. He hesitated alone in the living room for a while, and finally pushed the door in. Seeing that the bed was clean and clean, his shirt was gone.
Qiu Hua felt that Chen Zui seemed particularly happy, with a light step and a spring breeze on her face. She couldn't keep up with Chen Zui's pace, and said behind her: "After Yu Huaiyong left the palace, the little palace maid below went to clean up the room, and actually found a golden knife under his pillow."
When Chen Zui heard this, he turned around and asked, "Have you handed over it, or have you stayed?"
"Who dares to keep his things privately, and I am afraid that he will come back to find them when he remembers them, so I handed the knife to the inner palace hall, and they will probably return it to him." Qiuhua said: "I just think it's a little different from what I think."
“What’s the difference?”
"I used to think that Yu Huaiyong should be an arrogant and domineering person who is not afraid of the sky or the earth, but when he was sleeping, he actually hid a knife under the pillow. Does Your Highness know that people who often dream of nightmares can ward off evil spirits and eliminate nightmares. It can be seen that he must have nightmares in daily life, so he will do this. It is said that he kills people without blinking, and is very cruel, but even such a cruel person is afraid of having nightmares."
"I don't know what he would dream of, but he was so scared." Qiu Hua said at last.
Maybe he killed too many people along the way, and he believed in these things? Yu Huaiyong's education is not very high, and he probably can't even recognize many words.
Chen Zui was interested in his golden sword. The sword made of pure gold was very suitable for Huaiyong, who came over the bloody storm and was greedy for wealth and power.
Yu Rong invited him to the Baihua Palace, and it turned out that he wanted to take care of the emperor.
"I am always worried about entrusting it to others. I have government affairs and cannot always guard Your Majesty, so I can only entrust Your Majesty to you."
"Are all those who stay in the Baihua Palace to take care of His Majesty credible?" Chen Zui asked.
Yu Rong said: "Don't worry, Your Highness, most of the people who served in the Baihua Palace have been removed by me. Now they are all people I have personally selected, and they are absolutely reliable."
Chen Zui nodded: "That's good, don't worry, my life, death, honor and disgrace are also on His Majesty, and I will take good care of him."
Yu Rong probably didn't have much rest in the past few days. He covered his mouth with a handkerchief and coughed twice. Chen Zui said, "Sir, you must take good care of your body. Your Majesty and others will rely on you."
"I'm fine, just go back and have a sleep," said Yu Rong.
"Million-Million-Soldiers" says that Yu Rong has serious insomnia.
Chen Zui personally sent him out of the palace and came back to see the emperor. He didn't know if he was confused. He seemed to see Zhao Jin's eyelashes moving. After looking carefully, he saw him lying there motionlessly, his face was gray and his lips were not covered with blood.
He stayed in the Baihua Palace until dark.
Because Yu Rong personally selected people, the Baihua Palace was actually strictly guarded, so it was safer after the door of the palace was locked at night, so he didn't need to stay inside all night. When he and Qiu Hua came out of the Baihua Palace, Yu Cheng was bowing his head and talking to Zhou Lang, the captain of the imperial guards.
It was very cold outside, the north wind was blowing tightly, and there was not a single star in the sky, as if it was going to snow.
"Why don't Your Highness go back to the hall first, I'll ask Lili to send a cloak."
"No need, you'll arrive soon." Chen Zui was trembling and urged Qiu Hua to leave quickly, when he saw Yu Cheng walking towards him.
His nose was a little cold and he smiled at Yu Cheng. Before he could speak, he saw Yu Cheng take off his coat and put it on his body.
In front of everyone, Chen Zui felt that the military coat was still carrying Yu Cheng's body temperature. He did not refuse, and directly stretched out his arms and put it on his body. The coat was a bit too big for him. The coat that was originally on the calf was almost hanging to his ankles, and his hands were wrapped in his sleeves. He looked up at Yu Cheng and smiled and said, "Thank you."
"I will stay here tonight and can't go back to the Little Rose Palace." Yu Cheng said.
This should be what Yu Rong means.
Yu Huaiyong is not in the palace, and he is also safe in the Little Rose Palace.
"knew."
"The guards of the Little Rose Palace are all from our Yu family. Your Highness just sleeps with peace of mind." Yu Cheng said again.
Chen Zui nodded, braved the north wind and walked towards the Little Rose Palace. He walked away and looked back. Seeing that Yu Cheng had already walked to Zhou Lang again, the two of them didn't know what to discuss.
After returning to the Little Rose Palace, Qiu Hua was already so cold that he quickly went to the fireplace to roast the fire. After Chen Zui returned to the bedroom, he came out soon and handed Yu Cheng's military coat to Qiu Hua: "You ask someone to return this dress."
"Yu Cheng will not always stand outside. According to his identity, he must have slept in the guard room of Baihua Palace." Qiu Hua said.
"No matter whether he is wearing or not, you will ask someone to send it back." Chen Zui said.
Qiu Hua probably guessed his intention and said, "Then I'll send it to me in person."
As Qiuhua said, he went back to his room and put on a cloak, and hurried back to the Baihua Palace.
Yu Cheng was indeed no longer outside. She entered the Baihua Palace, walked through the corridor, and arrived at the guard room not far from the emperor's bedroom. Yu Cheng was ready to rest, but when he heard someone knocking on the door, he said, "Come in."
The door opened and the guard stood aside, and saw Qiuhua walking in with her clothes on her back.
"Your Highness asked me to exchange my clothes for you." Qiuhua said respectfully.
"Let's put it here."
Qiuhua put down her clothes, bowed and then left. Yu Cheng smoked a cigarette, looked at the clothes on the chair, then walked over with the cigarette in it, picked up the clothes and shook them open, but found nothing. Instead, the clothes seemed to be stained with Chen Zui's breath, with a faint fragrance that did not belong to him.
He put his clothes on the back of the chair, but a note fell out of his chest pocket.
Yu Cheng bent down and picked it up, his lips were pursed tightly, and his facial features were more three-dimensional under the light above his head. His long eyelashes left a shadow under his eyes.
Two words were written on the note, "Thank you".
Chen Zui was lying in the bathtub, soaking his body with hot water, and his thick hair floated in the water. On the quiet winter night, the hot water made people feel dazed, and his heart was floating tonight.
After taking a shower, he put on Yu Cheng's shirt. The shirt was still big, hanging loosely, covering half of his buttocks. I don't know if it was cold or emotional, but my chest was bulging and I was rubbing my shirt.
Spring dreams, every man or woman, are vague most of the time. Yu Cheng rarely has spring dreams, and occasionally does them, and they are all vague people. With vague sex and inexperienced men, spring dreams are also shallow. If the body does not have such memories, the dreams will not be so specific and in-depth.
His dream this time was very specific, and the object was very specific. He dreamed that Chen Zui was lying above him in a bare clothes and asked him, "Why do you have to look at your face? I may have something that looks better than your face."
He turned his head, his heartbeat piqued his chest, and his blood surged into two places. Chen Zui's chest was getting lower and lower, and he closed his eyes.
But in fact, he saw it all, and he even felt that his lips had touched something, and his lips were slightly opened.
