Birds on the edge of the abyss 10
"Peizi has been informed. Thank you again for your kindness and generosity. The Zhenguogong Mansion's lineage can redeem its injustice entirely thanks to your efforts. When Peizi returns to the Zhenguogong Mansion, I will bring a generous gift to you."
Shen Luli thanked him sincerely, coughed for a long time, and then raised his flushed face and said tiredly
"But where is my brother now? I couldn't find him when I woke up..."
Chu Xin glanced at Lan Huan who was standing beside him in a daze. Seeing that he was staring at Shen Luli's face without moving, he couldn't help but cough.
"cough!"
Lan Huan shuddered, then suddenly realized his mistake and lowered his head with a red face.
"Young Master Shen is probably recuperating in his own courtyard."
[Ding, Lan Huan's favorability +10, current favorability 90]
"So that's how it is. Is Chongguang feeling better now?" Shen Luli continued to ask softly, pretending not to hear.
Seeing that Shen Luli not only did not blame his brother for not coming to visit him, but turned around to care about his brother's health, Chu Xin looked at him strangely.
"Young Master Shen has always been in good health," Lan Huan responded with a smile.
"Thank you, Mr. Lan. Peizi will definitely come to thank you someday." Shen Luli exhaled, and the hand holding the teacup began to tremble. He said in a weak tone.
Suddenly, his hand felt lighter, and Shen Luli looked up and found that the Crown Prince had come to him at some point, holding the cup of cold tea he had just held in his big hand, and his golden eyes looked at him.
There was an emotion in there that Shen Luli couldn't understand.
Chu Xin looked at his blank eyes and said in a low voice, "I will come to visit you another day. It's time to rest today."
Shen Luli lowered his head, not daring to look him in the eye again, and quickly agreed.
Lan Huan slapped his head in frustration and said, "As a doctor, I actually forgot that the young master had just woken up. I forced you to talk for so long. I really deserve to die."
Shen Luli watched the man turn around gracefully and put the tea on the table beside him. A pleasant sandalwood scent came from the fluttering of his black robe. His eyes were hazy for a moment and he shook his head.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness, but Peizi would like to visit his brother before returning to rest."

Shen Luli:?
Chu Xin stared at him for a while, then agreed in a low voice, and then left on his own. After Lan Huan explained the key points to him and followed Chu Xin away, Shen Luli covered his mouth and nose with a muffled voice.
"Cough cough cough... vomit"
A pool of dark red blood flowed out from the gaps between his fingers, dripping onto the quilt. Shen Luli raised his sleeve to slowly wipe the blood splattered on his face, lowered his pale face, and stared at the blood on the quilt in a daze.
"What should I do..." Shen Luli said weakly
Fortunately, Chu Xin left quickly. If he had left a step later, Shen Luli's blood might have been sprayed on the noble Crown Prince.
Coughing up blood is a daily occurrence. Shen Luli came to this conclusion after turning over his past memories. Moreover, his body will not last long. What he just said about visiting Shen Changle is also true.
But when there was no one in the room, Shen Luli blinked and hid the tears in his eyes.
In this world, the same tragic ending
But at least there is still a relative alive, so it is not the worst.
Thinking of the amiable Duke of Zhenguo, Shen Luli clenched his hands and whispered
"Grandfather, don't worry. Pei Zi will find out the traitor and avenge the 133 people in the Zhenguo Mansion." Then he lowered his thick eyelashes and said softly.
"So, I must fight for my life with this lingering body. I must hold on until I have exacted my revenge, and then it won't be too late to die..."
Chu Xin walked out of the room, looked at the beautiful weather and bright sunshine outside, turned to look at Lan Huandao who came out in a hurry.
"Follow me to see Chongguang"
The original purpose of this trip was to visit Shen Changle. If Lan Huan hadn't forced himself to think that he was here to visit Shen Luli, Chu Xin would not have been interested in this person at all. However... this person is really good-looking, many times better looking than the miserable and pitiful appearance when he was in a coma.
No wonder Lan Huan looked like this when he saw him.
Chu Xin pursed her lips, walked towards the courtyard where Shen Changle was with a serious face.
[Ding, Chu Xin's favorability +2, current favorability 24]
On the other side, Shen Changle sat alone in the room, pacing back and forth anxiously. He wanted to visit his brother, but he was ashamed of what his mother had done to his brother and did not dare to go.
"Brother... What should Chongguang do..." Shen Changle's eyes flashed with a strong desire, biting the back of his hand and said
He sat back on the bed, thinking about Shen Luli lying under him, while reaching out his hand tremblingly downwards, quickly stroking
"Uh...Brother...Brother...Um...Peizi"
He was obsessively calling Shen Luli's name while his face flushed and his eyes closed.
After a moment, it was released suddenly
After a while, Shen Changle stood up with an ugly face, looked at the messy scene, sobbed and covered his face.
"What am I doing! How dare I dream..."
Recalling the scene in his mind where Shen Luli was lying on the bed in disheveled clothes and he turned over, Shen Changle made another subtle movement below him. Only then did he put on his clothes quickly with a dark face and packed up everything.
But the subtle musky smell in the room was telling that an unknown scene had just happened.
[Ding, Chen Changle's favorability +10, current favorability 60]
When Chu Xin walked in with a gentle expression, he subconsciously moved his nose, raised his head with a cold face and looked at the young man who ran out of the inner room in a panic.
Seeing Shen Changle come up to him and salute, he called out to him, "Brother Crown Prince, why are you here?"
Chu Xin suddenly calmed down the ripples in his heart, and his eyes moved around Shen Changle's slightly rosy face, and asked deliberately
"Your brother just woke up, why don't you go check on him? Chongguang"
"Brother, wake up! I'm... uh..."
Shen Changle looked up in surprise, but his face suddenly froze. Thinking of what he had just done, his face flushed. He wanted to run away, but his feet were stuck on the ground and he couldn't move at all.
Chu Xin's eyes darkened, and he narrowed his eyes slightly before turning around and sitting on the chair.
"I just went to see him. He said he would come to visit you in a while. Chongguang, just come and sit down. It has been a long time since we have spoken so intimately. I am really in the mood to reminisce about the past."
Seeing Chu Xin waving and calling him, Shen Changle had no choice but to walk over and sit down. He had just come out in a hurry and had not had time to wash his hands. His palms were still smelly. Shen Changle changed his hand to make tea for Chu Xin, and then poured the tea in front of Chu Xin.
"Chongguang also feels that it has been a long time since I chatted with the prince like this. Prince, please have some tea."
"Oh, you have some conscience." Chu Xin scolded with a smile, picked up the tea and took a sip. His eyes were a little dark under Shen Changle's somewhat concealed actions.
