Hold His Hand

Taking a piece of preserved fruit into his mouth, Xie Chengze told himself not to think about those things that would make him unhappy.

Lu Yanzhou belonged to the Lu family and came to seek revenge on him, but he was about to die, so naturally he didn't need to care about this, he just did what he didn't know.

Even... In order to gain his trust, Lu Yanzhou should be obedient to him, and he can fully enjoy it.

After thinking about it, Xie Chengze leaned on the kang, half-squinted his eyes, and unknowingly fell asleep.

Seeing that Xie Chengze was asleep, Lu Yanzhou moved his body gently, trying to make him sleep more comfortable.

Xie Chengze's two guards followed Xie Chengze into the house and stood not far away. They knew that their prince trusted Lu Yanzhou very much, so they didn't stop him.

Lu Yanzhou took this opportunity to secretly give Xie Chengze a pulse.

He has only been studying Chinese medicine for a short time, and he can't judge Xie Chengze's physical condition by taking his pulse alone, but he can also know a lot of things in combination with Xie Chengze's face and the memory of the original owner.

Xie Chengze is not only suffering from heart disease, he is also anemic.

As for why Xie Chengze was anemic, the first thing that Lu Yanzhou thought of was the emperor who had already been enchanted by the pursuit of longevity.

King Rui let the original owner poison Jinshang because Jinshang let people release King Rui's blood.

Because of this, the original owner had the opportunity to poison Jinshang to death.

It's just that King Rui was bled, which happened later, Xie Chengze... Was he bled at this time?

Even if I don't know Xie Chengze's heart disease today, it's a well-known fact that the crown prince is frail, but today he even let his blood!

Xie Chengze's pulse is very weak now, and Lu Yanzhou felt distressed just by feeling this pulse.

When Xie Chengze lay down, Lu Yanzhou wrote a note and gave it to Changfeng to prepare food.

What he asked Chang Feng to prepare was food that could replenish blood.

After the order was completed, Lu Yanzhou returned to the house and accompanied Xie Chengze.

Xie Chengze didn't know how long he slept, only that when he woke up, Lu Yanzhou was sitting beside him, holding a book and reading.

His two guards weren't there. They should have gone elsewhere... Lu Yanzhou's house is not big, so it's not a problem if they are all crowded inside.

Seeing him awake, Lu Yanzhou asked with a smile, "Brother Cheng, are you awake?"

"Sorry, I fell asleep accidentally." Xie Chengze said.

"If you're tired, you should take a nap," Lu Yanzhou said, "Brother Cheng, your body is the most important thing."

Xie Chengze looked at Lu Yanzhou, and saw that the other party's eyes were full of concern.

He knew it was fake, but Lu Yanzhou didn't know that he had seen through everything.

Xie Chengze said, "I will."

Lu Yanzhou continued, "You drank porridge before going to bed, do you want to go to the toilet?"

After speaking, Lu Yanzhou picked up the chamber pot and handed it to Xie Chengze. Now that it's cold, he doesn't want to go to the toilet outside, so he prepares a chamber pot in the house.

As for how he handed it to Xie Chengze so skillfully... In the second generation, he was used to helping Xie Chengze go to the toilet.

Xie Chengze was stunned.

As the crown prince, he has a lot of people around him, so naturally there is no shortage of people who will bring him a night pot, but Lu Yanzhou will bring it to him... He really didn't expect it.

Before the change, Xie Chengze must have been red-faced, but now he wants to test Lu Yanzhou: "I'll do it myself..." Although he said that, when he stretched out his hand, his hand seemed weak and weak, and there was some pain.

"what happened to your hand?"

"It's nothing, it's just a little injury." Xie Chengze said.

"I'll take it for you." Lu Yanzhou immediately thought of Xie Chengze's possible bloodletting.

Xie Chengze hesitated for a moment: "Then it's troublesome..."

"You're sick, it's nothing." Lu Yanzhou said.

Xie Chengze looked at Lu Yanzhou, somewhat incredulous.

In order to get revenge, in order to get close to him, Lu Yanzhou can even do such a thing?

Lu Yanzhou didn't know what Xie Chengze was thinking. After letting Xie Chengze go to the toilet, he said again, "Brother Cheng, it's snowing outside, why don't you live here today?"

Before the change, Lu Yanzhou would not make such a request, it would be troublesome for the prince to live outside.

But Xie Chengze was particularly weak today, and he was reluctant to return Xie Chengze in the snow.

Heart problems cannot be ignored. What if Xie Chengze fell ill halfway?

In modern times, Xie Chengze's current situation would have to be hospitalized!

Before the change, Xie Chengze would not agree to such a request. He is too close to Lu Yanzhou, and it is easy for Lu Yanzhou to be targeted by King Rui...

But at this moment, Xie Chengze said, "Okay, it's time to trouble him again."

After Xie Chengze agreed, Lu Yanzhou was overjoyed: "I'll let someone prepare food."

"Just prepare whatever you want." Xie Chengze said.

Lu Yanzhou smiled and didn't answer. He had already asked Changfeng to prepare food for blood replenishment, and now he only needs to give an order and let someone do it.

When he came outside, Lu Yanzhou ordered Changfeng to cook, and then told Xie Chengze's guard what Xie Chengze was going to live in today.

These two guards of Xie Chengze knew that Xie Chengze was bled by Jin Shang, and also knew that Xie Chengze had a heart attack, but Lu Yanzhou was the Lu family, because they were not near when Zhou Xueya reported to Xie Chengze before, so they didn't know.

This also caused them to trust Lu Yanzhou very much.

Xie Chengze slept before, and Lu Yanzhou said he would take care of him, so they went to the next room to rest.

Seeing that it was getting late, they should actually remind Xie Chengze to go back, but thinking of Xie Chengze's body, they just forgot about it.

Now that Xie Chengze was going to live, the two were even more happy, and only asked, "Where does our young master live? Where do we live?"

"There are not many rooms here. Would you two be willing to squeeze in Changfeng's room?" Lu Yanzhou asked, "As for Brother Cheng, he sleeps with me."

Lu Yanzhou was worried that Xie Chengze slept alone, and he definitely wanted to watch him.

The kangs in the room are quite big, and sleeping three or four people is not a problem.

"No trouble." Lu Yanzhou smiled at them, said he wanted to take care of Xie Chengze, and went back to his room.

When the two guards saw this, they went to talk to Chang Feng, and asked Lu Rong who was cooking with someone next to him: "Ms. Zhu, what are you going to eat tonight?"

Lu Rong said, "Eat the stewed noodles with cabbage and pork." In the winter, it is delicious and convenient to cook in a hot pot.

Of course, this is what they ate, but what His Royal Highness eats is different. Her brother asked someone to get some blood supplements, and also wrote a recipe for them to make it for the prince.

Duck blood vermicelli soup or something... Will the prince eat it?

Of course, the key is not this, the key is... Does the prince trust his brother too much? Ready to live!

And the two guards of the prince, do they only have food in their minds? They even left their master aside, and here they are thinking about what to have for dinner!

Are they not afraid that their prince will be killed by his brother?

Well, her brother doesn't want to kill the prince now, but wants to protect the prince so that no one will deal with King Rui.

Lu Rong made the food for the prince by herself, and while eating, she couldn't help but slander, feeling that the prince was too simple.

At this time, Zhou Xueya came to Jingning Temple in the wind and snow.

After he told the prince about Lu Yanzhou's identity, the prince didn't take it seriously, but he couldn't help but worry, for fear that Lu Yanzhou and Lu Rong would attack the prince when they were annoyed.

Therefore, when he learned that the prince came to Jingning Temple, he hurried over.

After Zhou Xueya came, he was taken to the largest room here, which was also the main room for cooking and eating.

The room was steaming hot and very warm because he had been cooking. Zhou Xueya shook off the snow on his body and saw that the two guards of His Royal Highness the Prince were eating pork stewed vermicelli.

While the two were eating, they also talked to Chang Feng: "In winter, this kind of large pot dish is delicious, and it is comfortable to eat hot! Put a few dishes in small plates and bring it to the front, and it will be cold before you eat it. No taste."

"Yeah! But there is nothing unusual about braised noodles with pork. My young master asked someone to set up the stove yesterday. It is said that there is a charcoal fire under the stove, and it can be boiled all the time. Then, the soup base is boiled with big bones. Put it in and cook it, cook it now and eat it now, that's amazing!" Chang Feng told the two guards what Lu Yanzhou had said.

There were two people beside Lu Yanzhou, one was Lu Tao and the other was Changfeng.

Lu Tao is a member of the Lu family, and he knows Lu Yanzhou's identity well. Lu Yanzhou is afraid that he will reveal his faults, so he does not let him show up in front of Xie Chengze very much.

But Chang Feng was the servant that Lu Yanzhou was looking for in Jiangnan. He didn't know Lu Yanzhou's identity, so he called Xie Chengze's guard a brother.

Zhou Xueya: "..." Where is his prince? Why didn't these two guards stay by the prince's side, instead they mingled with Lu Yanzhou's servant?

And Lu Yanzhou, the little servant, smiled so happily at the two guards, and even put the meat in the guard's bowl.

"Master Zhou." The two guards greeted Zhou Xueya with a smile.

"Too... It's too cold today... How about your young master?" Zhou Xueya asked.

"Our young master is in Master Lu's house." The two guards said.

These two actually let His Royal Highness and Lu Yanzhou stay together... Zhou Xueya simply didn't know what to say.

At this time, Lu Rong had already prepared the dishes. There were a lot of dishes, and she was worried that she couldn't take them. She immediately said, "Are you here to find Young Master Cheng? I'll take you to find him, and you can help me get something."

Zhou Xueya froze when he saw Lu Rong.

For this Miss Lu family, he is both guilty and defensive.

However, Miss Lu, who was on guard, handed him a food box, and handed him a package for him to carry. Then, she carried a tray and walked out.

Zhou Xueya quickly followed after seeing this.

The two came to a hut, Lu Rong shouted, and Lu Yanzhou came to open the door.

Seeing Lu Yanzhou, Lu Rong said, "I'm here to deliver the meal. By the way, this Young Master Zhou is here to find Young Master Cheng."

Lu Yanzhou let the two of them enter the room, and quickly closed the door before going to see Zhou Xueya.

Lu Yanzhou knew Zhou Xueya, and the original owner had this person in his memory.

This person is Xie Chengze's companion and has always had a good relationship with Xie Chengze, but in the original historical trajectory, after Xie Chengze dealt with Han Shengchang, this person had a big quarrel with Xie Chengze. After that, Xie Chengze arranged for him a Stay away from jobs in the capital.

At that time, many people around Xie Chengze left Xie Chengze, so the original owner could kill Xie Chengze.

Although Xie Chengze's death was mainly the original owner's fault, Lu Yanzhou felt that Zhou Xueya and others parted ways with Xie Chengze because of Han Shengchang, which was somewhat inappropriate.

However, Lu Yanzhou didn't show it. He put the food on the table, and asked Zhou Xueya if he had eaten it, and asked Zhou Xueya to stay and eat together.

Zhou Xueya wanted to stay and stare at Lu Yanzhou, and immediately agreed: "I haven't eaten yet, so I will trouble Brother Lu."

"No trouble, no trouble, you are Brother Cheng's friend, my friend." After Lu Yanzhou finished speaking, he asked Lu Rong to stay for dinner.

This will also allow Lu Rong and Xie Chengze to develop a relationship.

Seeing that Lu Yanzhou treated Lu Rong very affectionately, Xie Chengze felt that he was blinded by his love for Lu Yanzhou before.

Lu Yanzhou took in a lot of people, but he only treated Lu Rong differently, why didn't he realize it was wrong?

Of course, Lu Rong is Lu Yanzhou's cousin, so it is normal for Lu Yanzhou to do this.

The food is placed on the table, so you can't sit on the kang to eat. Xie Chengze got up and was about to get off the kang, when Lu Yanzhou hurriedly said, "Brother Cheng, you don't need to come down, you can just sit on the kang, and I'll move the table to the edge of the kang."

How warm it was to sit on the kang, but Xie Chengze couldn't come down to eat.

Thinking of this, Lu Yanzhou saw that Xie Chengze was only wearing thin socks, and Xie Chengze's shoes didn't look warm.

Lu Yanzhou quickly found a new pair of cotton boots, and said to Xie Chengze, "Brother Cheng, your shoes are not warm enough, wear these cotton boots, don't worry, I haven't worn them yet."

Having said that, Lu Yanzhou has already started to help Xie Chengze wear it.

Xie Chengze didn't stop him and let Lu Yanzhou put on his shoes. When he put on his shoes, Lu Yanzhou also found the sheepskin cloak that Xie Chengze had worn before and put it on his legs.

Xie Chengze felt very warm.

Zhou Xueya saw it and felt very warm.

He was frozen all the way, and came here on horseback, but no one asked him if he was cold, but someone wrapped his prince, who had been sitting on the heated kang, tightly.

After doing all this, Lu Yanzhou moved the table to the edge of the kang to facilitate Xie Chengze to eat.

"Brother Cheng, I see that you have a bad face and lack of qi and blood, so I asked someone to make this duck blood vermicelli soup, which can replenish blood," Lu Yanzhou took a bowl of vermicelli soup for Xie Chengze as a staple food, "You can also eat other dishes. , you must take good care of your body.”

Zhou Xueya was worried before because he was afraid that the dish was poisonous or something, but when he entered the house, he saw that Lu Yanzhou was so attentive to Xie Chengze...

Should there be no poison in the dish?

After all, Lu Yanzhou and Lu Rong had to eat it themselves.

Xie Chengze was already eating at this time, and Zhou Xueya couldn't help but sigh - the prince is worthy of being a prince, and he can so calmly eat the food given by the enemy!

"Brother Zhou, this place is simple, and there are not many things that can be entertained." At this time, Lu Yanzhou looked at Zhou Xueya again.

Zhou Xueya said: "It's already very rich. Before I came, I was here to eat vegetarian food."

Lu Yanzhou smiled: "Brother Zhou thinks too much."

After talking to Zhou Xueya, Lu Yanzhou ignored Zhou Xueya and focused on Xie Chengze.

He was serving Xie Chengze again, and he was asking about Xie Chengze's taste, and he didn't have a moment to spare.

Xie Chengze did not refuse, and ate with a smile.

Lu Rong: "..." Her brother really can bend and stretch! He can do this, and it is no wonder that King Rui feels that he is sincere to King Rui, and the prince is tempted by his brother again.

That's all for King Rui, Prince...

Lu Rong, who already knew from Lu Yanzhou that Xie Chengze was bled to make alchemy, felt a little sympathetic to Xie Chengze at this moment.

This prince is too simple, too bullying!

Zhou Xueya: "..." His Royal Highness's means are really not simple! This Lu Yanzhou belonged to the Lu family, and he had a grudge against His Highness, but he was subdued by His Highness. He actually took care of His Highness!

Do they still remember the hatred of their family being wiped out?

Zhou Xueya felt that Lu Yanzhou and Lu Rong were a little too kind.

Alas, the old man of the Lu family gave up the country to the emperor, and now Lu Yanzhou is like this... The Lu family is too bullying!

When Zhou Xueya and Lu Rong were eating, they looked at Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze from time to time.

Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze just took care of their own meals. When Xie Chengze had almost eaten, Lu Yanzhou asked, "Brother Cheng, I have learned a little massage, do you want to try it?"

Lu Rong and Zhou Xueya: "..." They don't think they should stay here.

Zhou Xueya and Lu Rong, who felt that they didn't fit in with the atmosphere here, quickly ate the rest of the food, then packed up the table and left.

One more person... Lu Rong asked Chang Feng to squeeze with others, and let the two guards live in Chang Feng's room with Zhou Xueya.

Zhou Xueya hadn't lived in such a dilapidated house for a long time, but since the bedding was new, he could get used to it.

He felt that he knew too little about Lu Yanzhou, so he asked Xie Chengze's two guards, and wanted to know something from their mouths.

Xie Chengze's two guards did not hide it, and told Lu Yanzhou what they knew.

Seeing that Lu Yanzhou took in the elderly and children, these two admired Lu Yanzhou very much, and always felt that Lu Yanzhou treated Xie Chengze very well: "Young Master Lu really treats His Royal Highness as a friend, and His Royal Highness also likes him, by the way, today he returned it to His Royal Highness the Prince. Donated a waterwheel."

The two guards explained in detail how Lu Yanzhou sent the water truck twice.

And this kind of thing?

What did Lu Yanzhou think? After researching the waterwheel, he even dedicated it to the prince?

Is he really dedicated to the people, regardless of past grudges?

When Zhou Xueya couldn't figure it out, Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze were already asleep.

Xie Chengze didn't expect Lu Yanzhou to sleep with him, but after thinking about it carefully, he thought it was nothing.

Anyway, he was looking forward to it.

Lying on the inside of the heated kang, he probably slept a lot during the day, and Xie Chengze couldn't sleep.

Hearing that the breathing around him gradually became steady, Xie Chengze turned his head to look at Lu Yanzhou, and watched... He leaned against Lu Yanzhou.

Lu Yanzhou woke up when he noticed that there was movement around him, and asked confusedly, "Are you thirsty? Do you want to drink water?"

He said, and went to touch the water glass by the bed - sleeping on the kang is easy to be thirsty, and he was a little thirsty.

Xie Chengze just watched Lu Yanzhou bring the water glass to his mouth... He was indeed a little thirsty, so he drank it all in one gulp.

Seeing this, Lu Yanzhou poured himself another drink and said to Xie Chengze, "Let's go to sleep."

Xie Chengze: "…"

Xie Chengze just lay down with Lu Yanzhou.

Lu Yanzhou fell asleep again soon, but Xie Chengze still couldn't sleep.

The night was dark, and he couldn't see Lu Yanzhou's face, but he could hear Lu Yanzhou's breathing.

After hesitating for a moment, Xie Chengze reached out his hand and touched Lu Yanzhou's face.

As a result, just as his hand touched Lu Yanzhou's face, Lu Yanzhou woke up again, of course still confused: "Are you going to let go?"

Before Xie Chengze could speak, Lu Yanzhou picked up the chamber pot from the ground.

Xie Chengze: "…"

Using the overnight pot, Xie Chengze lay down again, and he didn't know what was going on. This time he quickly fell asleep.

When Lu Yanzhou woke up the next day, Xie Chengze hadn't woken up yet.

Xie Chengze used to put some rouge on his lips to cover up his too pale lip color, but yesterday Xie Chengze ate a lot of food and washed his face before going to bed, and the rouge was long gone.

Because of this, he was lying there with a pale face at the moment, looking extremely fragile.

Lu Yanzhou touched Xie Chengze's cheek with his hand, and then he got out of bed lightly, and then added some firewood to prevent Xie Chengze from freezing.

After doing all this, Lu Yanzhou quietly left.

As soon as Lu Yanzhou left, Xie Chengze opened his eyes.

When Lu Yanzhou touched him, he woke up. He just didn't want to open his eyes. Now Lu Yanzhou is gone... Xie Chengze rubbed his eyebrows with his hand.

Lu Yanzhou was really kind to him. It would be great if Lu Yanzhou really loved him.

However that is not possible.

He had such a big hatred with Lu Yanzhou, and he had only met a few times. How could Lu Yanzhou really be as affectionate to him as he showed?

Xie Chengze lay down for a while when he heard the door open.

He looked at the door expectantly, but he didn't see Lu Yanzhou, but Zhou Xueya.

Zhou Xueya closed the door, came to Xie Chengze, and whispered, "Your Highness, are you and that Lu Yanzhou... Lu Yanzhou trustworthy?"

Xie Chengze said: "Don't worry, Lu Yanzhou has a deep-rooted love for me, and he will not hurt me."

What? ! Zhou Xueya looked at Xie Chengze in shock.

Xie Chengze smiled: "He likes me, can't you tell?" If what he expected was not bad, Lu Yanzhou acted like this.

Since Lu Yanzhou acted like this... he just told people that.

Zhou Xueya thought about it carefully, it really seemed like this, but Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze were both men...

Xie Chengze said: "You don't have to stare at him in the future. He likes me and is reluctant to hurt me."

Zhou Xueya said: "Yes."

Zhou Xueya is in a trance now, so Lu Yanzhou is... in love with His Royal Highness, so he doesn't want to take revenge?

He felt that something was wrong, but Lu Yanzhou really behaved like that, and the most important thing was that His Royal Highness would not lie to him.

Just at a loss, Zhou Xueya saw Lu Yanzhou come back with a basin of hot water, greeted him, and Lu Yanzhou also began to wash his face and hands for his prince.

The old **** beside His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can only be so meticulous.

Zhou Xueya began to believe the words of his own prince.

Lu Yanzhou took care of Xie Chengze and said, "It snowed last night and the road was frozen. Would you like to stay with me for a few days?"

Xie Chengze agreed at once: "Okay." He was almost done with his work, and it was okay to leave for a few days.

As for his father's side... His physical condition is known to his father, and he said that he can recuperate outside the city.

Xie Chengze decided to stay for a few more days, and Lu Yanzhou was very happy to hear about it.

He went out with the face wash, and asked Lu Rong to buy chickens and ducks. If there were pigs and sheep, he could also buy them.

There are so many people here that they can finish it!

After speaking, Lu Yanzhou also gave Lu Rong a bunch of banknotes.

This silver note was given to Lu Yanzhou after an accident happened to Han Shengchang, King Rui got the job of hosting Chunwei, and Lu Yanzhou didn't have time to give it to Lu Rong.

The face value of the silver note was not small, so Lu Yanzhou said again: "By the way, you can go to the city again and buy some medicinal materials. Brother Cheng's body needs to be taken care of..."

Zhou Xueya, who saw this scene: "..."

He knew where King Rui's money was kept, and he went to inquire about it. He knew that King Rui had recently given Lu Yanzhou a lot of money.

Then Lu Yanzhou used it to take in the poor people.

Well, it is still used to support them, His Royal Highness.

King Rui has always been very poor. If he knew about this, he would not be mad at him.
