Chapter 62 Be Gentle
Huo Zheng stepped over the threshold and stood in front of the door.
The carriage that had just brought him back had already left.
Only Lu Jingyun's carriage was left parked in front of the door.
Huo Zheng had changed back into ordinary cloth clothes, no longer as regal and majestic as he had been in the gorgeous attire at Prince Ning's birthday banquet, but the aura of a superior had not diminished at all.
Perhaps it was because in the darkness of the night, he had no intention of hiding anything.
Lu Jingyun bowed and saluted him, "Your Highness."
Huo Zheng said in a deep voice: "I can't tell Chunzhi about my identity for the time being, so don't tell me too much."
Lu Jingyun almost told Chunzhi the identity of King Chang'an.
But Huo Zheng happened to rush back at this time.
"Your Highness..."
Lu Jingyun knew that Prince Chang'an was warning him.
But he had already let Chunzhi down, and he couldn't let others let Chunzhi down again.
Lu Jingyun pondered for a long time before speaking, "Chunzhi is a good girl. She treats people sincerely and hates being deceived the most. Your Highness, as the Prince of Chang'an, can easily get any beauty he wants. I hope Your Highness will show mercy and not toy with her."
Huo Zheng sneered, "You're such a heartless man, you want me to stop playing with her?"
Lu Jingyun said: "I did let her down, but that was not my intention. I had no choice but to do it."
Huo Zheng said in a deep voice, "Alright, stop talking nonsense. Go back to where you came from and don't bother Chunzhi again. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude to you."
Lu Jingyun wanted to say something else.
Huo Zheng had already turned and entered the courtyard and closed the gate.
Lu Jingyun stood in front of the door for a long time and vaguely heard some movement inside. He never thought that Chunzhi would be related to Prince Chang'an.
Moreover, he had no idea what Prince Chang'an was thinking.
Prince Chang'an was inspecting Nanzhou and was assassinated just as he entered the territory of Nanzhou and almost died.
Now Huo Zheng seems to be in harmony with Prince Ning and his son, but in fact, both of them wish the other would die sooner.
Chunzhi is involved with Prince Chang'an. If Prince Ning and his son find out, her life will be in danger.
Lu Jingyun felt a headache when he thought about this. He sighed, got on the carriage, and asked the driver to go back to Lu's house.
And at this moment, in the small courtyard.
Chunzhi lit a fire and cooked noodles, which were almost ready. After putting them into a bowl, she fried two eggs for Huo Qi.
She brought a large bowl of noodles to the eight-immortal table and said, "Huo Qi, come and have some noodles."
After Huo Zheng drove Lu Jingyun away, he stood in front of the donkey shed and looked at Laicai.
Chunzhi took good care of the donkey and it has become fat.
This donkey shed was built with great care.
Chunzhi seems to be very attentive in everything she does and always does it well.
After hearing Chunzhi's call, Huo Zheng strode towards the Eight Immortals Table.
Chunzhi handed him the chopsticks and said, "Eat quickly."
After Huo Zheng took the chopsticks, Chunzhi turned around and walked into the house. She had just finished half of her needlework and was ready to continue.
Huo Zheng grabbed Chunzhi's wrist.
"What are you doing?" Chunzhi turned around and looked at him.
Huo Zheng said: "Sit down and stay with me for a while."
"Just say it, why are you grabbing my wrist?"
Haruji returned to the table and sat down.
Before, Huo Qi was only this clingy when they were on the bed.
Under the bed...
It was the first time he asked her to stay with him for a while.
Huo Zheng ate noodles mouthful after mouthful, appearing to have a good appetite.
Chunzhi asked, "Didn't you go to the Ning Palace for a banquet today? Why didn't you have dinner?"
Huo Zheng paused, "Did Lu Jingyun tell you this again?"
"Yes," Chunzhi said, "Lu Jingyun said he saw you at Prince Ning's birthday banquet. I said that since you are now working for Prince Chang'an, it is common for you to accompany the master to banquets. Prince Ning's birthday banquet is not only for him, the top scholar, to go. You can go too."
Huo Zheng thought that it seemed that Lu Jingyun had not explained it clearly, causing Chunzhi to misunderstand.
While eating noodles, he asked Chunzhi, "What else did Lu Jingyun say to you?"
Chunzhi thought for a moment and said to Huo Qi, "He said you weren't working under the Prince of Chang'an, and that you..."
Huo Zheng's heart immediately jumped up, "What did you say about me?"
Chunzhi said, "He hasn't finished talking yet, and you came back."
Huo Zheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
fine.
Fortunately, he came back in time.
Chunzhi looked at his expression and couldn't tell anything, but what Lu Jingyun said to her tonight was really strange.
"Huo Qi." Chunzhi called out to Huo Zheng, "If you have anything to say, just tell me directly. Don't lie to me, okay?"
Huo Zheng said nothing, just lowered his head and ate noodles.
Chunzhi said to him, "Whether you work for the Prince of Chang'an or for others, as long as you don't become an accomplice to the evildoer, it's all fine."
She thought that Lu Jingyun came here today to tell her that Huo Qi was not working for Prince Chang'an at all, but for someone else.
Huo Zheng said sternly, "I will never be an accomplice to a tiger, don't worry."
The only identity he hid from Chunzhi was his.
Chunzhi nodded and said, "Okay."
Huo Zheng continued to eat noodles.
Chunzhi turned the topic back to the distant past and asked him, "Didn't you eat at Prince Ning's birthday banquet?"
Huo Zheng said, "Just drinking."
Chunzhi could smell alcohol on him, but it was not visible on his face, so he was obviously not drunk.
Chunzhi said, "Then remember to take a shower after eating the noodles. I'll go into the house first."
"Um."
The noodles in Huo Zheng's bowl were almost gone.
Chunzhi had been sitting with him for quite a while, and it was about time.
She went back to her room and continued sewing.
Huo Zheng ate a bowl of noodles, washed the bowl, and went to the next room. He wrote a few letters and asked Jiang He to take them to several officials who were secretly helping him conduct a thorough investigation.
It is now a summer night.
He drew water from the well, took off his clothes, and washed himself in the yard.
Chunzhi was sitting in the room. She could see Huo Zheng washing himself through the wide-open window just by looking up.
The water poured down on him, splashing a lot of water. His strong waist had no fat at all...
Chunzhi recalled those passionate nights when the man had held his back like this and demanded endlessly from her.
She turned away, unable to look or think anymore.
Soon, Huo Zheng finished washing and walked into the house with a fresh scent of bath beans.
Harue didn't look up at him.
Huo Zheng walked forward and picked up Chunzhi horizontally. "It's getting late. It's time to go to bed."
Chunzhi was still holding the needle and thread in her hand. She was suddenly picked up by him and had no time to put it down. She said helplessly, "Be careful not to prick you."
Huo Zheng bent down slightly, asked Chunzhi to put down her needle and thread, and then carried her to the bed.
Even after being married for so long, the red silk curtains are still as bright as ever.
Huo Zheng kissed Chunzhi's lips and skillfully untied her clothes. He knew when she would be shy and the places that should not be touched the most.
I also know that she should turn off the lights when she is doing something.
Before Chunzhi could speak, Huo Zheng flicked his sleeves and extinguished the oil lamp.
The red silk curtain fell down.
The two men fought to the death in the tent.
Huo Zheng was being particularly aggressive today. Chunzhi was practically suffocating from his kisses. She could only call out "Huo Qi" over and over again, saying to him, "Be gentle."
