Chapter 3 Foster father, are you awake?

Xie You chuckled and shook his head. Is foster father so scary?

His foster father, Xie Anci, is the most noble man in the world today, truly above all others.

People say that foster father does not have the style of the old prince, but Xie You thinks that foster father is more courageous than the old prince.

But foster father is obsessed with the current emperor, and Xie You feels a little sorry.

A good person like foster father should trample on everyone under his feet.

The current emperor still doesn't like foster father, Xie You can't understand it, but it's just right that he doesn't like him.

When foster father's heart is hurt enough, foster father will still return to the palace, after all, the palace is his home.

"Foster father..." Xie You called Xie Anci in a low voice.

Xie Anci was sleeping too deeply and didn't respond at all.

Xie You knocked on the door, "Godfather, excuse me."

Xie You opened the door and saw Xie Anci lying in the carriage with a red face, as if he had a fever.

Xie You was startled for a moment and hurried to help Xie Anci. Xie Anci's body was extremely hot, and he looked like a cooked shrimp.

"Godfather." Xie You hurriedly picked up Xie Anci and carried him into the mansion in a panic.

"Someone! Go call the doctor!" As soon as Xie You finished speaking, he was grabbed by a warm hand.

"Don't...don't call the doctor, I want to take a shower." Xie Anci fainted again after saying this.

Xie You was extremely anxious, but he had to listen to Xie Anci.

"Your Highness, what's going on..." The housekeeper came in a hurry, and felt a little distressed when he saw Xie Anci in Xie You's arms.

The prince almost never gets sick, so why did he suddenly have a fever?

"Forget it, don't call the imperial physician yet, prepare some hot water first." Xie You gave the order and carried Xie Anci into the room.

The housekeeper hurriedly greeted him upon seeing this. The housekeeper looked to be over fifty years old, and had watched Xie Anci grow up.

After the old prince and the old princess passed away, the housekeeper took even closer care of Xie Anci, and Xie Anci respected him very much.

Xie You put Xie Anci on the bed, and then he found that Xie Anci's brocade clothes were full of wrinkles, and there was a faint smell of blood on his body.

"Adoptive father, I'm sorry for the offense." Xie You said as he took off Xie Anci's clothes.

The fair skin was covered with purple marks, and the blood dyed the underwear red.

Xie Anci frowned and slept very uneasily.

His painful body was exposed to the air, making him want to curl up, but he was too weak to even curl up.

Xie You's eyes were red. How could his adoptive father be injured like this?

Was it Li Jinchen who did it?

His adoptive father would not let anyone other than Li Jinchen touch him.

He knew that Xie Anci was still a bit of a germaphobe, but what happened last night?

Xie You clenched his fists. Was the adoptive father, whom he had always kept in his heart, being treated like a rag?

Li Jinchen!

I will make you pay the price!

Xie You thought with gritted teeth.

"Hmm..." Xie Anci felt uncomfortable, hot and cold, and his body was in so much pain.

Xie You came back to his senses and comforted Xie Anci, his face full of heartache, "Godfather, the water will be here soon, wait a minute..."

Why did godfather do this for that person?

Xie You didn't understand, he pressed against Xie Anci's forehead, trying to lower Xie Anci's body temperature.

Dong Dong Dong...

There was a knock on the door.

Xie You opened the door with a cold face.

"I can do this, put the hot water at the door."

"Yes." The servants in the Regent's Mansion have always been obedient, doing whatever their masters tell them to do, and never dare to question their masters.

Xie You prepared the hot water and carefully picked up Xie Anci.

The usually elegant and strong man now curled up in his arms like a kitten.

As Xie Anci was unconscious, Xie You was afraid that he would fall, so he took off his clothes and got out of the bathtub.

Fortunately, the bathtub was big enough to accommodate two men.

"Hmm..."

The warm water wrapped around Xie Anci, and waves of pain came, as if floating up to the clouds.

"Godfather..." Xie You looked pious and sincere, and called Xie Anci in a low voice.

He dared to look at him like this only when Xie Anci fell asleep.

Xie Anci would not allow him to have any improper thoughts, this man only had Li Jinchen in his heart.

Xie You was angry and helpless. He could only hide his feelings deep in his heart. It was better to stay by his side as an adopted son than to be abandoned by him.

Xie You gently wiped the wounds on Xie Anci's body.

There should be injuries there too. I heard that it needs to be cleaned.

Xie You blushed, and his slender and bony fingers wandered on Xie Anci's body.

"Uh..." Xie Anci frowned in pain.

Xie You held his breath, and was relieved when he saw Xie Anci tightly closed his eyes.

Xie Anci, who has always been proud, certainly doesn't want anyone to see him like this, not even him.

Xie You moved even softer.

Xie Anci is really beautiful, with a pair of red eyes that seem to be seducing when they are open, a teardrop mole on the lower right corner, a high nose bridge, and pink thin lips.

Old Wang originally wanted to train Xie Anci to be a civil official, but he turned out to be a traitor.

Xie You stroked Xie Anci's white, glowing face and swallowed his saliva when he saw his thin lips.

His long, inky hair was wetted by the water vapor and stuck to his fair face, making him look more fragile and more lovable.

Xie You lowered his head and slowly approached Xie Anci.

Just once, I hope my godfather won't wake up.

Xie You prayed silently, and when he was half a finger away from Xie Anci, Xie Anci suddenly opened his eyes.

Xie You was completely frozen, his Adam's apple rolled, and cold sweat broke out.

"Yi, godfather..." Xie You's voice was filled with tears, after all, he was just a man who had just come of age.

He knew Xie Anci's methods better than anyone else.

He was not afraid that Xie Anci would kill him, he was only afraid that Xie Anci would chase him away.

"Hot..." Xie Anci's eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, and he fell asleep again with grievance.

Xie You breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately his godfather did not really wake up.

Xie You did not dare to think about it anymore, and quickly cleaned Xie Anci and carried him to the bed.

The soft bed made Xie Anci sigh comfortably, and then fell into a deep sleep.

Xie You put clean clothes on Xie Anci and brought some cool water to lower his body temperature.

But Xie Anci was still very hot, so Xie You did not dare to delay and went to the street to buy medicine. Xie Anci

did not want to ask the imperial physician. Xie You knew that he did not want the people in the palace to know, so he had to go to the clinic to find medicine himself.

At the same time, Xie You cursed Li Jinchen in his heart, saying that he was a beast. He felt good while his adoptive father suffered here.

Xie You applied medicine to Xie Ci'an, and he felt better.

At this time, the sky was also showing a fish belly white.

Pei Xuan came to Yu's study but did not see Li Jinchen, and he could not help but feel a little strange.

The emperor asked him to meet here, so why didn't he show up when the time came?

"Please wait a moment, Imperial Master. The Emperor is bathing and changing clothes. He will be here soon." The maid served tea and explained.

Pei Xuan nodded. Although he thought it was a bit strange that Li Jinchen bathed so early in the morning, he was not very interested in other people's affairs, so he did not ask any more questions.
