Just as Lu Zheng was about to resist, he heard a hoarse voice in his ear: "It's me."
He wanted to punch him with his elbow, so he turned around and said unhappily: "You're addicted, aren't you?" Jian Yu
smiled lightly, let go of his hand and stepped back.
Lu Zheng turned around, and in the light he could see that his face was pale, his left hand was covering his ribs, and there was a faint smell of blood.
Lu Zheng frowned: "You're injured again?" Jian Yu's
lack of answer was considered as tacit consent.
Lu Zheng sighed: "I want to ask you what happened, but I think you should find a place to bandage your wound first."
Jian Yu tilted his head: "Follow me."
The two walked through the narrow alley, and the lively sounds of the Lantern Festival were faintly heard in their ears, but in the alley it was like another world, with nothing but footsteps.
Soon, the two came to a small house. The house looked very ordinary. Jian Yu pushed it open and revealed the scenery inside. It was a three-bedroom house with a grape trellis in the yard, as well as a stone table and stone benches. It was completely inconsistent with Jian Yu's temperament.
Jian Yu led him into the main house. Perhaps because he was in a safe place, he suddenly lost his strength and slid down the soft wall.
Lu Zheng was startled, but seeing that he was just a little dizzy due to excessive blood loss, he hurried to the room to find medicine and bandages.
He remembered that Comrade Jian Yu put medicine and poison together, and asked him again before applying the medicine.
Jian Yu was a little amused: "Don't worry, I won't put poison here."
"Who knows you!" Lu Zheng habitually retorted, and then looked at his wound.
In fact, the wound was not too deep, but he seemed to have performed strenuous exercise with the wound, so it caused some tearing of the wound. Lu Zheng always thought that he should be a brainpower, but every time he met Jian Yu, he was treated as a nurse by him.
Compared with the last time, Lu Zheng's method of applying medicine was more skilled. He even found strong liquor to clean the wound. Jian Yu frowned slightly when the liquor was spilled on the wound, but he had a normal expression at other times. After
Lu Zheng applied the medicine, he wanted to bandage him. Because the wound was under the ribs, he could only wrap it around Jian Yu weakly after tying it once, and passed the bandage around his back. And such a simple action made the muscles of this man who didn't even frown when he was injured tense up immediately.
Lu Zheng had just tied the bandage a few times when he felt beads of sweat on Jian Yu's body. He was a little confused: "Does it hurt?"
"Yeah..."
Lu Zheng suddenly felt a little guilty. After all, he was not a professional. Fortunately, he had already tied it. He tied a knot on the other side of the wound. Thinking that it was not easy to work on the wounded, he also put clothes on him.
After all this was done, Lu Zheng asked: "Okay, tell me, how did you get injured this time?"
Jian Yu pursed his lips and seemed a little hesitant.
"Official business or private business?" Lu Zheng asked, "Of course, if it is not convenient to say, forget it." He thought that Jian Yu was the commander of the Red Armor Guard, and maybe there were some private things that were not convenient to talk about.
"It's not inconvenient." Jian Yu answered very straightforwardly, "It's my personal matter, I just think... it's not good to involve you." He was injured because of investigating his own life experience. He originally wanted Lu Zheng to help him investigate, but his injury made him realize that maybe this matter was not simple, and he didn't want to put Lu Zheng in danger.
Lu Zheng didn't have such a strong curiosity, but he always broke his own principles for Jian Yu, so when Jian Yu said this, he said: "There's nothing wrong, you tell me."
Jian Yu thought for a while, and then said: "Do you know about the rebellion of King Wei twenty years ago?"
Lu Zheng shook his head, looking confused.
"That's right. You weren't born yet at that time." Jian Yu shook his head with a wry smile. "It is said that the Prince of Wei was a man of both civil and military talents, and was the most beloved younger brother of the late emperor at that time. Twenty years ago, for unknown reasons, the Prince of Wei suddenly plotted rebellion and even massacred the palace. After being suppressed, a group of civil and military officials and aristocratic families were implicated
. My mother's family, the Gao family, was one of them." The Gao family was originally one of the aristocratic families. Because their ancestors had Hu blood, they were tall and had fair skin. It was almost a consensus that the Gao family produced beauties, especially Jian Yu's mother, Gao Jinwen, the sixth daughter of the Gao family. If there was a title like the most beautiful woman in Yanjing City at that time, Gao Jinwen should be the one who deserves it.
At that time, Gao Jinwen was engaged to the King of Wei, but soon after, the King of Wei rebelled. As a relative of the Gao family, the Gao family suffered a devastating disaster. The male members were exiled to the southern border, and the female members were sent to the imperial court as prostitutes. Because of this, even though the Marquis of Decheng coveted Gao's beauty, he could only secretly take her out and settle her there, and did not dare to bring her back to the palace.
Jian Yu was born in June of the first year of Yongning. He had never doubted his life experience before, and had never paid attention to his birthday. Now that he knew that the Marquis of Decheng was not his biological father, he realized that the King of Wei had not rebelled when his mother was pregnant, so his biological father was most likely the King of Wei.
In order to find out the truth, Jian Yu secretly read the records of the music academy. Unexpectedly, he met a mysterious man. The two were discovered by the guards when they were arguing. Liang Jue, the deputy commander of the Golden Armor Guard, was also there. Jian Yu had dealt with him before and was afraid that he would discover his identity, so he endured a knife and escaped.
Lu Zheng was stunned. Suddenly, he felt that this bitter and vengeful plot was so bloody. He asked Jian Yu carefully: "If... your biological father is really the King of Wei, do you want to avenge him?"
"Revenge? How?" Jian Yu shook his head with a gloomy expression. His first reaction was confusion. His original plan was to gain power and status, so that the Duke of Decheng would look at him with admiration, but now it has been proved that this is just a lie. What is the point of doing this?
Lu Zheng didn't know what he was thinking, and he was relieved to hear him say that. Not to mention the success rate of Jian Yu's revenge, he really didn't want him to invest his life in such a thing. Jian Yu was still young, and he still had a good life to live.
Jian Yu restrained his depressed look and smiled, "Are you afraid?"
"What?"
"I am now a real wanted criminal, and I am guilty of treason." Jian Yu leaned on the couch and looked up at Lu Zheng. His eyes were originally a little light, and they looked even more affectionate under the light, even melting his cold expression.
Lu Zheng covered his chest, which suddenly began to beat violently, and slowly frowned. For the first time, he faced the relationship between Jian Yu and the original owner. He always felt strange that he was always not quite right when facing Jian Yu. He originally thought that it was this body's feelings for Jian Yu, but just now, he realized a possibility - did the original owner really disappear?
Jian Yu looked at Lu Zheng's expression, which gradually became serious, and his slightly relaxed expression was also put away. He whispered with concern: "What's wrong with you?"
Lu Zheng asked: "I want to know, how did we know each other?"
Jian Yu asked in confusion: "Why are you asking this suddenly?"
"I..." Lu Zheng looked at him seriously, "I feel like I treat you differently from others, I want to know why?"
Jian Yu was stunned at first, then he tilted his head unnaturally: "Why... suddenly say this?"
Lu Zheng looked at his red earlobes, a little speechless: "Weren't you still talking nonsense happily in prison last time? Why are you shy now?"
Jian Yu glanced at him sideways and quickly looked away. He cleared his throat: "We first met in Nanfeng Pavilion."
"Puff——" Lu Zheng spit out a mouthful of tea.
He is not so ignorant that he doesn't even know what Nanfeng Pavilion is. Could it be that the original owner is actually a GAY?
Seeing Lu Zheng's uncomfortable look, Jian Yu smiled softly: "Don't think too much, you came here to bet with others, you thought I was a prostitute and asked to keep me for a night."
That should have been Jian Yu's most violent night, but that ignorant little guy made that night even more ridiculous.
Jian Yu knew Lu Zheng, the third young master of the Duke of Yingguo's mansion. Who in Yanjing doesn't know? But Lu Zheng didn't know him. He was pushed to the ground and his identity was exposed. He didn't get angry, but curiously asked Jian Yu why he knew him.
He thought it was just a chance acquaintance, but who knew he actually found out his identity, and then kept pestering him like a piece of taffy. Jian Yu had always been aloof, but for the first time in his life he was so tolerant of someone. He thought he was an arrogant and domineering young master, but it turned out he was just a proud and spoiled boy. He was like a pebble thrown into the center of a lake, causing ripples in his heart.
Thinking of this, Jian Yu's expression gradually softened: "I thought you were just a novelty, so I kept watching from the sidelines, but you haven't changed in a whole year, even..." He took a deep breath, "After hearing that you were injured, I realized I was wrong. When you were unconscious, I secretly went to the Duke of Ying's Mansion to see you. When you were dying, I went to Fengguo Temple to find Master Le Chen. The master gave me a secret medicine, which saved your life."
What Jian Yu didn't say was that Master Le Chen had once calculated his horoscope. Because they had a grudge in their previous life, Le Chen promised to fulfill one of his wishes in order to understand this fate. Liao Chen's ability is not simple, but Jian Yu did not think it was a pity to use such an important chip here. He was even very happy when he saw Lu Zheng wake up. But he did not intend to tell Lu Zheng these, and did not want to increase his burden.
Lu Zheng was stunned. He finally knew how he traveled through time. This secret medicine should be the key. No wonder Liao Chen was not surprised to see him. It turned out that he had known it for a long time.
But the point that he was entangled with was not this, but the first meeting between the original owner and Jian Yu. If one of them changed their gender, this would be the standard template for the encounter between the male and female protagonists in all stories!
He looked at Jian Yu's gentle expression and suddenly felt a little inexplicably guilty.
