backyard.
When Gao Zhiqi came in, Zhong Minge was catching up on sleep in the bedroom, and Liao Chongwu was standing in the yard taking a shower with well water. In that weather, he was sweating all over. He wiped Zhong Minge's body and coaxed him to sleep, then he quietly went to the yard to take a shower, and as a result, he saw Gao Zhiqi walking in.
"What's wrong? Did something happen?" Liao Chongwu put down the ladle in his hand, took a towel to wipe his body and asked Gao Zhiqi. Gao Zhiqi has always been a sensible person and would never come to disturb him and Zhong Minge without instructions, so he came here suddenly at this time, it must be something important.
"Brother Liao, someone just came to our house, saying that..." Gao Zhiqi guessed that Zhong Minge was still resting, so he lowered his voice. But as soon as he said this, Gao Zhiqi couldn't continue. He looked at the red tooth mark on Liao Chongwu's collarbone, and immediately felt uncomfortable and embarrassed. He quickly turned his eyes away and continued, "The man's name is Zhen Zhaosi. He said he is a guard under Lord Cui. He came to see Your Highness on Lord Cui's orders."
Liao Chongwu was stunned: "Master Cui? Which Master Cui?"
"It's your maternal grandfather, Lord Cui Shian," Gao Zhiqi looked at Liao Chongwu's bewildered face and hurriedly reminded him, "After the princess gave birth to a strange baby, the emperor was furious, and Lord Cui was also implicated and banished from the capital. He is now serving as a fourth-rank prefect in Ganzhou."
"Oh," Liao Chongwu nodded, and then he remembered, but his face was not very good, and he frowned and said, "Why did Lord Cui's men come right after we arrived? Could it be that Lord Cui sent people to Yongzhou to wait for His Highness?"
"That's right. Zhen Zhaosi said that he has been hiding in Yongzhou for quite some time," Gao Zhiqi said, his face was also very solemn. "Brother Liao, I didn't think it was a big deal before, but now I think about it, Yongzhou and Ganzhou are not far away, only a few hundred miles away, and if you walk fast, you can run back and forth in seven or eight days. Moreover, the Zou family was exiled to Lingnan, which is not far from Yongzhou and Ganzhou. Brother Liao, what do you think the emperor's intention is?"
"Yeah, I don't know if His Majesty is confused for a moment or doing it on purpose," Liao Chongwu said with emotion. He dropped his handkerchief, reached out to take his outer garment and put it on, and said slowly, "No matter what His Majesty is thinking, we have to treat it with caution."
"Yes, I think so too," Gao Zhiqi nodded, and looked into the room again, and asked, "Zhen Zhaosi said that he must meet Your Highness in person, I wonder if Your Highness is willing to see him?"
"I'll go in and ask. You go wait in the front yard first." Liao Chongwu said as he turned and walked towards the room.
"That big brother Liao..." Gao Zhiqi called out to Liao Chongwu with some hesitation.
"What's wrong?" Liao Chongwu stopped, turned around to look at Gao Zhiqi, and started to tie his belt.
"Brother Liao, why don't you change into a dress with a higher collar?" Gao Zhiqi was very embarrassed when he said this. He pointed at the obvious teeth marks on Liao Chongwu's collarbone and said jokingly while trying to hold back his laughter, "Brother Liao, even the groom is not as presumptuous as you. You show up with the marks every now and then."
Liao Chongwu was startled, and hurriedly lowered his head to check. It took him a lot of effort to see a small red mark. It was the one that Zhong Minge bit when he was wiping his body. Liao Chongwu felt embarrassed and a little proud. He opened his collar as usual and poked Gao Zhiqi with his finger: "You are jealous, right? If you are jealous, then get married. You are not a child anymore. You keep wandering around like this. How long do you plan to stop?"
"Brother Liao, I'm going to the front yard! Bye!" Without waiting for Liao Chongwu to finish his words, Gao Zhiqi hurriedly ran away.
