Chapter 48 During the welcoming banquet, Rong Ceqing and...
During this period, Rong Ceqing and Qin Caizi also tried to bribe Su Mian to find out about Su Mian's situation, but the rules of the Judgment Court were known to everyone in the harem. Even the emperor could not bribe the people inside, as they always obeyed the emperor's orders.
Although it was the order of the Emperor that she was sent in, everyone knew how miserable Su Mian was when she returned to the palace. Naturally, everyone thought that this was the result of the Emperor's instructions. Therefore, they were busy all the time but made no progress.
In the Court of Judgment, Su Mian opened his eyes drowsily. His eyelids seemed to be fighting each other, and he had no control over them at all. He could only squint his eyes, and his eyes were bloodshot, unable to see clearly.
His lips were cracked and he could no longer secrete saliva from his mouth. He felt pain from his throat to his lips as if they were cut by a knife.
For the first two days after he came in, he was hung on a wooden stake with his hands and feet tied. Later, the people in the court found that the emperor had not issued an order to torture him, so they untied him from the stake and threw him on a straw mat in the corner.
But he had suffered a lot in those two days, and there were few good spots on his body from the torture. This was an experience for everyone who entered the Court of Justice, and Su Mian was no exception because of his identity as the chief eunuch in front of the emperor. The wounds on his body were not treated in time and were exposed to the damp environment, causing them to fester and fester. On the fifth day, he began to have a fever and talk nonsense.
"Cheng Changgeng, didn't you say you would take me home? Why haven't you come yet?"
"You don't want me anymore, and you left me alone."
"Cheng Changgeng, I actually quite like you."
He had no strength left, and even moving his lips was difficult for him, so he didn't utter a single word. He thought that no one could hear his strange and outrageous nonsense.
When saying this, Su Mian had a very long dream. In the dream, Cheng Changgeng was not the emperor of a man's country, nor was he a fake eunuch. They were just two ordinary people in the real world. Through repeated contacts, he found that he gradually fell in love with each other.
The hazy dream seemed to last half a lifetime, but in reality only seven days had passed.
——
When Cheng Changgeng woke up from the dragon bed, more than half a month had passed since he fell into a coma. Because he couldn't let too many people know about his assassination, the people who served him closely were those who had previously pretended to be servants. Occasionally, the emperor would come to take care of him.
"water..."
"Your Majesty! You are awake!"
The usually steady secret guard could not hide his surprise when he found that Cheng Changgeng had woken up, but he quickly poured a glass of water to Cheng Changgeng's mouth.
While drinking water to moisten his throat, Cheng Changgeng kept trying to feel Su Mian's presence in his heart, but there was no chattering as usual and he heard nothing.
Feeling that his throat was more comfortable and he could speak, Cheng Changgeng stared at the secret guard with his narrow eyes, releasing the pressure of the emperor and asked, "Where is Su Mian?"
Perhaps because he hadn't spoken for too long, his voice became a little hoarse, which made people feel more oppressive. The secret guard didn't dare to hide anything. He paused for a moment and replied truthfully: "Your Majesty, Su Mian was sent to the Court of Judgment on the day he returned to the palace."
"What! Ahem!"
Cheng Changgeng was so excited that he pulled his wound and coughed a few times in pain.
He knew better than anyone what the Court of Judgment was. He didn't have time to ask any questions. He just threw off the quilt and got up.
"Your Majesty, this is absolutely not possible."
The secret guard stepped forward immediately. The emperor had just recovered from a serious illness. According to that person, it was not easy for him to wake up so quickly. If any accident happened now, it would be something they could not afford.
"You have just recovered from a serious illness, so you must not get angry. Elder Zhen has specifically told you to rest."
Knowing that the emperor was concerned about Su Mian, the secret guard continued, "If the emperor is worried about Eunuch Su, why not give an oral order and I will go and take Eunuch Su out of the Judgment Palace, how about that?"
"Go quickly."
“Yes.”
After receiving Cheng Changgeng's order, the secret guard arranged people to guard the place and did not dare to delay. He immediately went to the Court of Judgment in person, hoping that he could see that the person was still alive when he got there.
Even though they could guess that the person sent in would be badly injured if not killed, the secret guard's heart still wrenched when he saw Su Mian's appearance, thinking that the emperor would probably be furious.
His guess was not wrong.
Because Cheng Changgeng was anxious to see Su Mian, the secret guards carefully took him out of the Judgment Palace with the token and oral instructions, and sent him directly to Cheng Changgeng's palace.
Seeing the person he risked his life to save become like this, Cheng Changgeng felt heartbroken and blamed himself more. If he had remembered to leave some instructions before he fainted, Su Mian would not have suffered like this.
"Go and invite Elder Zhen over and prepare some clean clothes."
Cheng Changgeng carefully avoided the wounds on Su Mian's body. He could clearly feel the abnormal temperature in his body. Even though he felt heartbroken, he still had to treat Su Mian first.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor is outside asking for an audience."
Xiao Dezi's voice came from outside the hall. When Cheng Changgeng heard that the person coming was the royal noble, and remembered that Su Mian's situation was all thanks to him, his face immediately darkened.
"not see."
When the Royal Highness heard the news that Cheng Changgeng had woken up, he rushed over immediately. While on the way, he heard that the Emperor had sent someone to take Su Mian out of the Court of Judgment.
He was the one who sent the person in, and now the emperor doesn't want to see him. This will make the whole palace laugh at him.
Biting his lower lip, Huang Guijun became more certain that Su Mian was definitely not just the emperor's confidant.
He didn't mind that Su Mian was special to the emperor, but as an imperial noble, he had to do everything in accordance with the country and deal with it according to the law.
Cheng Changgeng naturally understood this truth, so he just blamed himself for not being able to protect Su Mian instead of putting pressure on others.
However, after all, it was the Emperor who sent Su Mian in personally, so it was inevitable that he felt a little alienated.
The Emperor did not want to see him, and the Royal Highness did not force him. He only reminded dog lovers to be more careful and that they would be held accountable if anything happened to the Emperor.
Then he left.
After that, Cheng Changgeng stayed with Su Mian most of the time. After the assassination, he took a good vacation and announced to the public that he was sick and needed to rest, so not many people came to bother him.
Occasionally, some people came to test his physical condition, but they were turned away by the servants outside.
All his focus is now on Su Mian, and he just hopes that he gets better soon.
As long as the two of them are fine, even if Su Mian doesn't accept him, as long as she is by his side, he will be satisfied.
Two days later, Cheng Changgeng, who was still asleep, felt someone touching his eyebrows and eyes, and heard a familiar voice in his blurred consciousness.
[I haven't seen you for a while. You seem to have lost weight. ]
[He is handsome, but he is just a fool. The emperor is sitting comfortably, why does he block the arrow for me? ]
He woke up.
Cheng Changgeng suddenly opened his eyes and became completely awake after coming into Su Mian's sight.
Su Mian was caught peeking and was slow to react. He then looked away awkwardly.
Cheng Changgeng just stared at him quietly without saying a word, and then, regardless of their injuries, he hugged him tightly in his arms.
Su Mian placed her hands on his chest, her body stiff and not daring to move. He was not afraid of the pain, but was worried that if he moved, he would touch Cheng Changgeng's wound.
These two people have different thoughts, yet they are exactly the same.
In fact, during the past few days in the Court of Judgment, Su Mian always wondered when he was occasionally awake: if the Cheng Changgeng he knew had left this world, what should he do then?
He hoped that Cheng Changgeng could return to his world, but he was also afraid that he would leave and leave him alone.
So, when he woke up and found Cheng Changgeng lying beside him with his arms around his waist, Su Mian couldn't tell whether he felt relieved or something else, but in short, he was very happy.
So after a long time, he also put his arms around Cheng Changgeng's waist and responded to him silently.
"Su Mian, is it okay?"
Cheng Changgeng lowered his head and placed his lips next to Su Mian's ear. His breathing made Su Mian's ears itchy and his heart palpitated for no apparent reason.
Su Mian couldn't say whether it was possible or not, but he raised his head and met Cheng Changgeng's lips.
Everything is implied.
"Little...be careful with your wound."
While reluctantly agreeing, Su Mian did not forget to care about Cheng Changgeng's injuries.
But Cheng Changgeng proved with his strength that the minor injury was nothing and did not affect his performance at all.
I don’t know why, even though they didn’t say a word, the two of them just got closer to each other so tacitly that they couldn’t help themselves.
——
The fact that Su Mian was taken back to the bedroom by Cheng Changgeng to live could not be concealed from people in the harem. Everyone had different thoughts, but most people's thoughts were not on Cheng Changgeng, so few people felt resentful about it.
But everyone vaguely realized that Su Mian was particularly different to the emperor.
Because of this, no one came to disturb their world of two, and Su Mian's body became much plumper.
Until - there were guests in the palace.
After only three or five days of happy days, Cheng Changgeng asked the messenger to enter the hall. After listening to the message, he understood what was going on.
It seems that the assassin couldn't hold back and came to check the results.
According to the messenger, it was the little prince of a border country who came to visit with tribute, in the hope that the friendship between the two countries would last forever and that peace would bring wealth.
Listen, if Cheng Changgeng was a fool, he would believe it.
"Since they have come to our door, let's arrange a welcoming banquet."
Cheng Changgeng's health has almost recovered, so he doesn't mind acting with them to relieve their boredom.
"How about you play a play with me?"
Cheng Changgeng peeled a grape and handed it to Su Mian, who nodded while chewing the grape and said, "I'm curious too, who is so brave."
After Su Mian finished speaking, he began to ask the system in his heart:
[Universal system, although you didn't help me much last time, I believe that even if you didn't make any contribution, you must have made some hard work in getting Cheng Changgeng back to consciousness. ]
This is an attempt to pua the so-called system. Cheng Changgeng resisted the urge to raise his lips and continued to listen to Su Mian's mumbling.
[We must make sure that those who assassinated us get their retribution, so that they will have stiff necks when sleeping, cramps when walking, and live a lonely life until the end of their lives. ]
As he listened, Cheng Changgeng couldn't help but pinch Su Mian's face with a smile. Why was this little guy so cute?
