Birds on the edge of the abyss 6
He threw the handkerchief out through the paper window, poured the tea and took a sip, then a sound came from the outer room.
Then Shen Changle came in shyly wearing changed clothes, his face flushed as he said
"Brother Crown Prince, it's against the rules to let Chongguang wear your clothes..."
Chu Xin's eyes lit up, and he smiled lovingly at the young man in front of him who was wearing baggy clothes.
"It's okay. There's no outsider here anyway. No need for so much formality. Come over here and let me take a look."
Chu Xin waved to Shen Changle. The young man came over and knelt on the ground. He didn't say anything to Chu Xin, but he lay on the ground again and picked up Shen Luli. He held his brother and sat beside him, looking at Chu Xin.
A trace of warmth flashed in a pair of bright eyes, and then he looked up and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."
Seeing the young man holding the dirty person on the ground into his arms, the precious clothes were stained with dirt again. Chu Xin's expression cracked a little, and he clenched his hands stiffly. A dark light flashed in his sharp golden eyes, and he smiled lightly without saying a word.
Just when he lowered his head to drink tea, a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

In silence, the group quickly arrived at the courtyard outside the city. The housekeeper, who had been waiting outside the door for a long time, had been looking forward to it for a long time. He caught a glimpse of a dark shadow from afar, and his eyes suddenly lit up. He turned around and ran into the courtyard and shouted,
"Get ready quickly, His Highness is coming."
As soon as the words fell, the sound of horse hooves came quickly. The old butler was startled, and then he straightened his slightly raised beard, turned around and quickly came to the door with a group of servants, bowed his head and knelt down.
"This old servant respectfully welcomes His Highness."
"Welcome Your Highness"
…
The other servants said in unison. The old butler smiled knowingly, thinking that when His Highness came down later, he would praise him for his good management. Then, a pair of moon-white boots appeared before his eyes. The scent of sandalwood came from far away.
The figure stepped in front of the old butler and walked into the courtyard without stopping. The butler was left alone, looking up confused, watching his own prince holding a dark figure into the courtyard.
Then a handsome young man came out of the car. He coughed palely, glanced at the old housekeeper, and without even a hint of a kind smile, he immediately ran in behind Chu Xin.
While running, he anxiously shouted, "Your Highness, please put my brother down and let me hold him."
Old Butler: ...
"What are you still standing there for? Why don't you prepare the bathing utensils and food quickly? Do you want to be punished by His Highness?" A harsh rebuke came from behind the old butler. He turned around tremblingly and saw a man wearing a straw raincoat, dripping with rain, with a scar on his face, looking at him coldly.
The old butler shuddered and shouted, "Hurry up and get ready!"
Bu Nan frowned as he watched the old housekeeper run out, then he led the horses to the stable at the back to feed them grass.
Chu Xin's sharp eyes moved downwards, shook the light-weight person in his arms, looked at Shen Changle who was anxiously trying to stop him, and pursed his lips and said
"You are injured, I am here for you"
He easily placed the man in a guest room with a hot spring in the courtyard, kicked open the door and threw him on the bed, then ordered the servants to give him a bath and then summon the doctor to treat him.
"Your Highness, we have to treat my brother first." Shen Changle watched the door close in front of him, wanting to go past Chu Xin to find his brother.
Chu Xin put his hand on his shoulder and looked at the anxious boy, comforting him.
"I just checked your brother's pulse and everything is fine. It won't be too late to treat him after he takes a bath. He's so dirty right now that it's hard to apply medicine..."
Chen Changle wiped his eyes and said guiltily, "Zhongguang didn't think of this. I'm sorry that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince laughed at me."
"Chongguang, when no one is around, you can call me Prince Brother." Chu Xin sighed softly and ruffled his hair.
"You forgot again." Looking at Shen Changle's instantly red face, Chu Xin's eyes darkened, and then he said
"You should go wash up too. It rained so hard and you've been wet for so long. If you don't warm up, you'll get sick."
"But my brother..."
"I will take care of it myself. Go wash up first, and then call the doctor to treat you. Only if you have a good body can you take good care of your brother, right?" Chu Xin continued. Seeing Shen Changle's melancholy eyes, Chu Xin paused.
"As for the remains of the old man, the Duke of Zhenguo, and the bodies of your parents and relatives, I have already ordered them to be disposed of. When you two brothers are better, I will take you to pay your respects."
Shen Changle thanked him in a hoarse voice, and then walked towards his own yard under the guidance of his servants.
Seeing his absent-minded look, Chu Xin could only sigh. He was about to go back to the main courtyard to wash up, but when he raised his foot, he saw the door wide open. A young maid ran out in a hurry, sweating profusely.
When she looked up, she found Chu Xin standing in the corridor. Seeing that he was about to leave, she hurriedly shouted, "Your Highness, please stay!"
Chu Xin turned around and saw the other person running towards him rashly. He asked with a cold look, "What's the matter?"
"Your Highness, that young man has too many wounds on his body. There's a festering patch on his back. He groans in pain when he touches water, and his face is ashen. We don't know what to do. Do you think we can wipe him with a clean cloth first and then bathe him after he feels better?"
The maid was born in a humble family and had never seen anyone from the royal family since she was a child. Seeing Chu Xin's powerful aura and cold and unapproachable demeanor, she immediately stuttered and her voice became lower and lower. Finally, she muttered in a barely audible voice:
Chu Xin was too lazy to care, but she thought of Shen Changle's sad eyes, and then she turned to walk outside and walked back into the house.
I went directly to the open-air hot spring pool in the guest room. Before I even passed through the embroidered screen with flowers and birds playing in the water, I heard a small humming sound like a cat's meow.
Hoarse, charming, like a small hook scratching Chu Xin's heart
[Ding, Chu Xin's favorability +2, current favorability 3]
The man paused, a faint light flashed in the depths of his golden eyes, and he walked in through the screen with his hands behind his back.
What caught his eye was a purple and red back. The person was facing away from him, with his head lowered and his slender neck bent. His long, withered black hair was tied up in a bun on his chest by a maid, so his front could not be seen.
All that could be seen was dozens of whip marks of varying sizes and depths on the thin back. Some were swollen and bleeding, some were oozing pus, and some were dripping with black blood. It was extremely creepy.
As they got closer, the color was even more vivid. The other two maids bowed and then carefully supported the thin arm of the unconscious man who was groaning in pain, so that he would not immediately slip into the hot spring and choke.
