Chapter 115
Half an hour later, the waves gradually subsided, and a dragon robe embroidered with a dragon covered Lin Qingyu's body. Then, Jiang Xing carried him out of the bathtub.
Lin Qingyu thought Jiang Xing was going to take him back to Xingqing Palace. Although he was not a fussy person, he did not want to be wrapped in a dragon robe by Jiang Xing and carried back. It would be embarrassing if others saw him. "Put me down. I can walk by myself."
Jiang Xing didn't answer. Lin Qingyu met his eyes and was stunned.
Jiang Xing's eyes no longer had the brilliance of a young boy, they were not even gentle, but only had something that belonged to an adult man.
——Yeah, after all, I’m an adult again. The combination of a 22-year-old's heart and an 18-year-old's body is inexplicably heart-moving.
He also likes Jiang Xing like this. Lin Qingyu took the initiative to move forward and gently bit the mole on Jiang Xing's Adam's apple.
Jiang Xing's Adam's apple rolled and his breathing became heavier. The next moment, Lin Qingyu's back hit the screen with a clang, but he didn't feel any pain at all - it was Jiang Xing who put his hand behind his back.
Lin Qingyu's half-wet long hair cascaded down, and the dragon robe slipped from his shoulders, loose and baggy, like an endless spring scene.
Jiang Xing couldn't help but say, "Qingyu, you are so beautiful, even in a dragon robe."
Lin Qingyu raised her eyes and smiled: "What doesn't look good on me?"
Jiang Xing's breathing suddenly tightened, and he said without further ado, "Hold on to me."
It was late at night before Lin Qingyu returned to the dragon bed and insisted on drying his hair before going to bed: "If you go to bed with wet hair, you will easily catch a cold. If you continue like this for a long time, you may even suffer from a head disease."
Jiang Xing yawned as he wiped Lin Qingyu's hair. His hair is short and dries easily, but it takes a long time to wipe Lin Qingyu's long hair. In order to prevent himself from falling asleep, Jiang Xing talked to Lin Qingyu about business: "Qingyu, you saw how the Queen Mother behaved during the banquet today. She must be starting to feel uncomfortable with me sticking to you all the time. I guess she will take some action soon. I think it's time for us to prepare for a rainy day."
Lin Qingyu asked: "How do you plan to prepare?"
"I have a rough plan now."
Jiang Xing told Lin Qingyu his ideas, and Lin Qingyu listened carefully, occasionally offering suggestions for additional details and improvements.
Finally, Lin Qingyu said, "The Queen Mother is very kind to you, but you still want to deceive her?"
Jiang Xingqi said, "You have really changed. You would be so cautious when deceiving someone. This is not like your style."
Lin Qingyu sneered: "I had no choice before, but now I want to be a good person."
"You are indeed a 'good person'." Jiang Xing remembered something, "I heard that Xiao Jie's madness has been cured, but he suddenly lost his memory and forgot everything that happened in the past. Was this your doing?"
Lin Qingyu said calmly: "I just tried a Gu technique taught to me by the Southern Xinjiang Divine Doctor on him. It can't be considered a good deed. He was just lucky. If he had worse luck, he would have gone to accompany Xi Rong long ago."
Jiang Xing smiled and did not expose the rare soft-hearted beauty villain. He knew very well that it was because of him that Lin Qingyu was willing to show a little compassion to these insignificant people.
Jiang Xing turned the topic back to the Queen Mother: "Anyway, this is the simplest and most convenient method I can think of. Besides, I am not lying to her."
"How do you say it?"
Jiang Xing said seriously: "If you force me to separate from you, I will really go crazy."
Lin Qingyu thought about it and said, "Alright. Let her get anxious once, and I won't mind the fact that she used the imperial decree to force me to marry Lu Wancheng."
Jiang Xing was not surprised at all and said with a smile: "You really are very vindictive. You still remember something that happened five years ago."
Thinking of five years ago, Lin Qingyu smiled: "Five years... We are doing bad things together again."
It was previously in the Nan'an Marquis' Mansion, then in the General's Mansion, and now in the Imperial Palace.
Jiang Xing didn't think so: "I want to marry my own wife, what's the bad thing?" Jiang Xing felt that he had wiped it almost done, so he took the towel and touched Lin Qingyu's hair, "Why is it still a little wet?"
Lin Qingyu said: "It's hard to dry a lot of hair."
Jiang Xing smiled and said, "I can't sleep yet, so I might as well continue working."
Lin Qingyu: “…” How could this guy look like he was exhausted at all?
If someone stood in the hall at this moment, he would be able to see two figures behind the curtain of the dragon bed. The long-haired man sat in the arms of the short-haired man. The shadow's movements were not fast, but it made the long-haired man's lower back stretch into an attractive arc. Finally, he collapsed on the short-haired man's chest.
The work was done, and Lin Qingyu's long hair was finally dry. The two of them lay in the same bed, sleeping facing each other with their eyes wide open.
Jiang Xing's gaze fixed on Lin Qingyu's face for a moment, and asked: "Qingyu, don't you want to sleep?"
Lin Qingyu said: "Not bad."
"Are you tired then?"
Lin Qingyu asked vigilantly: "What do you want to do again?"
"In the stories I read, when other people make love, the one who is making love will faint or be unable to get out of bed." Jiang Xing was a little frustrated. "Why can you still talk to me properly?"
Lin Qingyu was puzzled: "Stories are stories, reality is reality, people don't get dizzy that easily. If you really lose consciousness, it will be a big problem."
Although he didn't faint, he was really tired. His whole body felt like it was falling apart and his voice was hoarse. In contrast, someone kept saying he was tired, but he looked much better in spirit than him.
Jiang Xing raised his eyebrows: "So, it's not my fault? Was it the storybook that misled me?"
"Yeah." Lin Qingyu raised his hand with difficulty, touched Jiang Xing's short hair, and said lazily, "The emperor is already great, I like him very much."
Jiang Xing laughed and said, "I'm fine again. Honey, come and support me next time."
Lin Qingyu chuckled and said, "Yes."
After winter came, the first snow fell in the capital soon. Jiang Xing was always paying attention to Lin Qingyu's mood. Everything was normal with Lin Qingyu, at least it seemed so. But as the anniversary of Gu Fuzhou's death approached, Lin Qingyu suddenly fell ill.
Lin Qingyu's illness was severe. The person who went to the palace to report the news said that he was bedridden and unable to attend court or govern the country. The emperor couldn't see the prime minister in Xingqing Palace, so he ran to Ci'an Palace to look for him: "Mother, where is the prime minister brother?"
The Queen Mother patiently explained to the Emperor: "Minister Lin is ill and is recuperating in the General's Mansion."
"Then can I go to the general's mansion to see him?"
"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven and should live in the palace," the Queen Mother consoled, "Your Majesty, don't worry. When Prime Minister Lin recovers, he will naturally come back."
She didn't want Lin Qingyu to get sick. But Lin Qingyu's illness allowed him to separate from the emperor for some time, which was exactly what she wanted.
The emperor was stunned, and his eyes dimmed, as if they had lost their luster. When the Queen Mother saw him like this, her heart suddenly sank - the Emperor's eyes were somewhat similar to when he was in a trance. Looking more closely, it seemed as if she had seen it wrong.
The Queen Mother thought she was overthinking it, but who would have thought that the Emperor, unable to see the Prime Minister, became depressed and taciturn all day long, speaking less and less, until finally he didn't say a word at all. Doctor Xuan came to check, but he couldn't figure out what was going on.
A horrible thought arose in her mind - could it be that the emperor's amnesia had relapsed?
The Queen Mother immediately sent someone to invite the Imperial Master, but who would have thought that Xu Junyuan had left the capital years ago and would not be back until a few days later. The Queen Mother watched the Emperor become more and more lifeless day by day, and she became extremely anxious, but there was nothing she could do but wait.
As soon as Xu Junyuan returned to the capital, Lai Fu hurriedly invited him into the palace. The first thing he saw was Master Jiang squatting on the ground playing in the mud.
Xu Junyuan lifted the eyelids of Mr. Jiang and took a look. Before he could stop, the Queen Mother could not help but ask, "What happened to the Emperor?"
Xu Junyuan considered and said, "The emperor's current symptoms are indeed somewhat similar to the original soul-loss disease."
The Queen Mother said anxiously: "But hasn't the Emperor's amnesia been cured?"
"May I ask the Queen Mother if Prime Minister Lin is not in the palace recently?"
The Queen Mother was puzzled: "It is true that Prime Minister Lin is ill and in the palace, but what does this have to do with the Emperor's amnesia?"
"Minister Lin is the first person who can make the emperor react, and he is crucial to the emperor's amnesia. Because of this, I suggest that you let Minister Lin accompany the emperor. The three souls and six spirits of a person are mysterious, and I cannot see their full picture. Perhaps, Minister Lin is the emperor's unique antidote."
The Queen Mother could not accept it: "Lin Qingyu was once the wife of Lu Wancheng, and then the wife of Gu Fuzhou, and now she is the Prime Minister. How can she always accompany the Emperor in the palace?"
Xu Junyuan sighed and said, "Queen Dowager, please forgive me for being blunt. When the Emperor lost his mind, you said that if the Emperor could call you 'Mother', you would be satisfied. Now the Emperor's mind is gradually returning to normal, which is a pleasant surprise. The Emperor likes to stay with Prime Minister Lin, why do you want to stop him? Do you prefer to see the Emperor's previous appearance than his love for Prime Minister Lin?"
What it was like before?
No, no... Her Li'er had finally recovered to her current state, she absolutely could not go back to being stupid and dazed, as if she was living in another world.
The Queen Mother sat down dejectedly, and after being stunned for a long while, she came to her senses: "Quick, go and ask Prime Minister Lin to come back!"
Lai Fu reminded her: "Queen Mother, Prime Minister Lin is still ill."
"Then take the emperor to the general's mansion." The queen mother urged, "Hurry!"
