With a smile on his face, Xie Heng sat down next to Jiang Bozhou, rested his head on his hands, and looked at him silently.
Jiang Bozhou finally couldn't pretend anymore, raised his head and snorted coldly.
"Your Majesty, are you awake?" Xie Heng seemed not to notice the fact that Jiang Bozhou had already woken up when he entered.
Jiang Bozhou was very unhappy, "In the storybook, if the husband is too tired and falls asleep at his desk, the wife will put a blanket on them. Why didn't you respond?"
Xie Heng couldn't help laughing. Did Zhouzhou not realize his position?
"Why are you laughing?" Jiang Bozhou was furious. If others had done what he had done, he would have——
"Don't be angry. I still have to ask Your Majesty. Didn't His Majesty wake up early?" Xie Heng took Jiang Bozhou's hand and held it in his.
When he first arrived in the capital, he became a disciple of Master Wu because of his frailty. This body's talent was quite good. In Master Wu's words, if he had started learning martial arts since he was a child, he would definitely have a place in the world today.
Xie Heng didn't care much about this. In this small world, the arena was weak and completely under the jurisdiction of the government. Even if he became the chief of the arena, he wouldn't be able to cause any trouble.
But there are also benefits to practicing martial arts. For example, he can easily tell whether Zhouzhou is pretending to sleep.
"Boring." Jiang Bozhou shrugged his nose and sat on Xie Heng's lap without straightening up.
"Why did you come back so early today?" Xie Heng asked. Jiang Bozhou has been very busy recently and often doesn't return after the third watch.
Jiang Bozhou smelled the faint smell of medicine on Xie Heng's body, "What, you don't like it if I come back earlier?"
"Of course I am happy." Xie Heng took off the carved silk gold crown on Jiang Bozhou's head and placed it on the table.
"Huh~" Jiang Bozhou was a little shy, why was this man so unreserved.
Xie Heng picked up Jiang Bozhou and walked to the bedside to put him down. He carefully took off his white and gold casual clothes, leaving only a layer of underwear.
"Do you need me to take your Majesty's bath?" Xie Heng said slowly in Jiang Bozhou's ear.
"No." Jiang Bozhou refused quickly, his earlobes already turning red.
"Why not? Didn't His Majesty keep me here just to serve His Majesty personally?" Xie Heng's face was appropriately hurt, and the word "personally" was particularly emphasized.
"I said no, no need!" Jiang Bozhou almost ran away, not even bothering to put on his shoes, and hurried to the edge of the bathing pool.
He thought of the way Xie Heng took him to take a bath last time, and patted his hot face, trying to calm down his overly excited mood.
Is that a service for bathing? That's an open invitation to favor!
Xie Heng, who was left where he was, felt helpless and scratched his temples. Can you blame him? It's all Zhouzhou's own fault in the first two worlds.
Xie Heng shook his head. Zhouzhou in this world is too conservative and simple. It has been more than a month since they met. Xie Heng, who wanted to climb into bed, has only climbed into bed so far.
He took out a pair of clean clothes and a pair of shoes from the cabinet and called Fusheng, "Please, Eunuch Fu, please leave these at the door for Your Majesty."
Xie Heng wanted to go by himself, but if he went, Zhouzhou would be furious. Although he thinks Zhouzhou's hair blowing up is cute, but once or twice is enough, if it happens more often, he will feel distressed.
Not long after, Jiang Bozhou came back with moisture all over his body. Xie Heng frowned, "Your Majesty, why don't you dry yourself before coming back? How many times have I told you? Why didn't Your Majesty listen to the advice?" After saying that, he took it from the cabinet next to him. He took out a piece of cotton cloth and stepped forward to wipe Jiang Bozhou's hair.
"I've said it many times, call me by my name." Jiang Bozhou was unreasonable and strong. He liked Xie Heng's concern for him.
Besides, Xie Heng only called him "Zhou Zhou" once on the first day they met. No matter how much he asked, Xie Heng never called him that again. If Zi Huang didn't let go, don't blame him for going against Zi Huang.
"If I agree to call your Majesty by name, will your Majesty agree to allow me to attend your bath?"
"Don't even think about it!" Jiang Bozhou's face was as beautiful as a burning cloud.
"That's it." Xie Heng asked Jiang Bozhou to sit on the stool and went around behind him to dry his hair from top to bottom. The weather has picked up recently, and there is a brazier in the hall. Coupled with the walls and other structures that are warm in winter and cool in summer, it would be difficult for Jiang Bozhou to survive the cold.
Jiang Bozhou felt that he could still work hard, "If Zihuang is afraid of gossip, just call me by my name in private."
"I forgive you for not obeying your order." Xie Heng thinks that the title "Your Majesty" is very good. No wonder Zhou Zhou in the previous world liked to call him Immortal Lord so much. In some matters, it is indeed a pleasure to have your enemies or superiors impress you. thing.
"This is an order!" Jiang Bozhou was angry, but he was still thinking about the gentle persona he had set for himself. But the words had already been spoken, and he didn't know what to do and stayed in place.
"Can your Majesty still issue an edict?" Xie Heng put away the cotton cloth and gently brushed it against Jiang Bozhou's cheek. "If your Majesty dares to issue an explicit edict, I will not dare to disobey it."
Jiang Bozhou's face felt itchy, and he patted Xie Heng's hand down, actually thinking about the feasibility of issuing an edict. Finally, he gave up the idea dejectedly and muttered, "Now is not the time to issue an edict."
Xie Heng raised his eyebrows. His family Zhouzhou really had the potential to be a foolish king, and he was actually considering this matter. If Zhouzhou really issued the decree, how could the king of a country lose face? The scholars in the court would probably have to do it again. Let's give a damn remonstrance.
Xie Hengfu carried Jiang Bozhou to the bed, let him lie down, and covered him with a brocade quilt.
"Take a good rest." Xie Heng said. Jiang Bozhou was so busy these days that he basically never had a good night's sleep.
"No." How could Jiang Bozhou agree? He finally finished the work, but he didn't want to use the time to sleep.
"Be good, Zhouzhou, don't tire yourself out." As a doctor, Xie Heng knew Jiang Bozhou's physical condition clearly. Although he knew that his body was still very strong, Xie Heng would not allow him to be exhausted to the extreme. If fatigue reaches a certain level, the damage to the body is irreversible.
Jiang Bozhou's eyes widened and he sat up suddenly, "What did you just call me?"
"Zhouzhou." Xie Heng rubbed his forehead, which was almost hit by Jiang Bozhou, feeling extremely helpless. It seems to have had the opposite effect. Zhouzhou's spirit seems to be more excited. Can he still sleep now?
It turned out that I really couldn't sleep.
Jiang Bozhou was bubbling with joy. Although he lay down again in accordance with Xie Heng's request, the remaining sleepiness had long been gone.
The candles had been extinguished long ago, and only Jiang Bozhou's bright eyes shone in the darkness.
"Go to sleep." Xie Heng's voice was full of helplessness.
"Call me again." Jiang Bozhou pulled on Xie Heng's clothes to prevent him from leaving.
Xie Heng wanted to free the clothes from Jiang Bozhou's hands, but his grip was too tight, and Xie Heng did not dare to use too much force.
"I just overstepped my bounds. I hope your majesty will forgive me." Of course Xie Heng disagreed. With the current situation, if he calls out again, Jiang Bozhou will not be able to sleep that night.
Xie Heng held Jiang Bozhou in his arms and patted Jiang Bozhou's back gently. Neither of them spoke, but the air was filled with affection. I don't know how long it took, but Jiang Bozhou finally fell asleep.
Xie Heng got up and got out of bed, carefully pressed the quilt for Jiang Bozhou, left a light good night kiss on the corner of his mouth, and then left.
As soon as Xie Heng closed the door, Jiang Bozhou, who was sleeping, opened his eyes. He put his fingers on the corners of his lips and smiled heartily.
Sanbao was guarding outside the door. When he saw Xie Heng coming out, he asked in a low voice, "Is your Majesty asleep?"
Xie Heng nodded and walked towards the side hall. According to the information he received, what some people were doing was becoming more and more rampant.
Although it is easy to protect himself with his ability, since Zhouzhou is worried, he will follow Zhouzhou's wishes. It's just that he and Zhouzhou stay in the same room every day. Even if they don't sleep together, it's impossible for people in the dark to not notice.
He looked up at the sky. The few stars in the sky were emitting cold light, making the night even more gloomy.
The storm is about to come and the wind is filling the building.
After washing, Xie Heng stood by the window, reading the secret message sent by the moonlight. Ru Mo's hair was hanging behind her back, trembling slightly in the cold night wind.
Toyozhou epidemic.
Xie Heng clenched the note in his hand into a ball.
When he was preparing to stay in the palace for a long time, he told the housekeeper not to take risks unless something important happened. So when he saw the inconspicuous symbol on the window sill, he thought something was wrong.
as expected.
Xie Heng was very worried. If Jiang Bozhou had received the news, he would not have come back very early today. There were early signs of the epidemic, but at his reminder, Jiang Bozhou sent an imperial doctor to send medicinal materials for treatment early. Moreover, there were only a few places where floods occurred, but for the entire Toyoshu epidemic, it was either officials who were afraid of taking responsibility and did not dare to report it, which led to the spread of the epidemic, or people who were intent on treason did something wrong.
This is a man-made disaster, the one who comes is not good.
Fengzhou, as its name suggests, was a granary of the Yan Dynasty, and it was only a few days' walk from the capital.
This is using the people to seek the world.
Why bother?
The next day, when Xie Heng arrived at the Imperial Hospital, he found that there were only a few old imperial doctors left.
"Good morning." Xie Heng greeted.
"Okay, okay." Doctor Wang was reading a medical book. He heard that this was a 70th birthday gift from his grandson.
"Xiao Xie hasn't left yet?" Dr. Li, who was very strong and strong, was stepping on the ladder to get the medicinal materials from above.
"Yeah." Xie Heng went to his usual place but didn't sit down.
"This morning, before I went out, I heard a commotion outside the door. When I inquired, I found out that it was His Majesty who sent someone to deliver the order, asking the young doctors to go to the epidemic area to treat the disease." Doctor Li's voice was loud and obvious. Talking to Xie Heng.
"I have also heard that everyone is good at different diseases, and those who are good at epidemic diseases have been sent out long ago. What is your majesty going to do?" Dr. Wang also raised his head from the book, frowning, his face full of worry. Disapproval of this order.
Xie Heng also disagreed.
Zhouzhou, what does this mean? Although he has some disregard for life, he will not do this. Is it his plan or is someone tampering with the will? If Jiang Bozhou made his own decision, Xie Heng chose to believe him; but if the person who delivered the order was bribed, things would get serious.
No, he should go find Zhouzhou and ask. Xie Heng thought like this and rushed out without even saying hello.
Doctor Wang let out a long sigh, "Old Li, why are you irritating Xiao Xie?"
Doctor Li did not explain. There have been changes in the previous dynasty recently, and the palace is unstable. Whenever this happens, the Taiyuan Hospital will always be affected. It is better for young people to go out and take refuge.
