Ch. 65 - Zhong Yansheng: I'll knock Xiao Nong unconscious

Zhong Yansheng and Xiao Nong stayed in the main room for a long time, and their mood gradually calmed down.

When he got up from the mat, he thought seriously that after Xiao Nong regained consciousness and asked him questions clearly, he would bring Xiao Nong to tell his parents what relationship Xiao Nong really meant to him.

Xiao Nong is not sober now and there are too many people outside. It would be bad if someone noticed that Xiao Nong is not in a good condition. Zhong Yansheng didn't dare to take Xiao Nong out. He simply sat in the main room and waited for Wei Ling to bring Lou Qingtang back.

Wei Ling is the leader of the Eastern Palace's secret guards. His trained subordinates are good at hiding. They are also familiar with the conditions and terrain in the mountains and forests, and they appear and disappear like ghosts. Therefore, the officers and soldiers of Baoqing Prefecture have never been able to do anything to them.

The forest was so busy the night before. Wei Ling sent people to hide and keep watch everywhere, so it shouldn't be difficult to find Lou Qingtang.

Taxue could see that Zhong Yansheng was in a bad mood. As soon as he sat down, he immediately ran over, put his big furry head on his knees, and put his tail in his hand.

The thick and soft hair rubbed against the palm of his hand. Zhong Yansheng couldn't help but smile. He stretched out his hand and rubbed Taxue's big head twice: "Thank you, Taxue."

Xiao Nong sat next to him, looked at Taxue acting coquettishly and fawningly with cold eyes, and clicked his tongue.

Zhong Yansheng heard his unhappy voice and knew that he was not in a good mind and was arguing with Taxue again. Without even raising his head, he handed his empty hand to him and said generously, "Here you go."

The hand that was extended had long fingers and thin wrist bones, as if they would break with the slightest bend. It looked like it was carved from jade, and there was a little bit of powder on the fingertips, and the thin skin seemed to be filled with the fragrance of orchids.

Xiao Nong's displeasure lasted for a few moments, and he couldn't resist and grabbed Zhong Yansheng's hand, holding it in his palm and squeezing it, staring at his snow-white wrist.

It smells so good. I want to take a bite.

Glancing at the spirit tablet in the middle of the hall, Xiao Nong's eyes showed a hint of endurance and distress.

It's not good to do it in front of his parents.

Zhong Yansheng had no idea that he had escaped a disaster. He hugged the big warm cat in his arms and rubbed it for a while. His mind was temporarily clear. Then he felt tired all over. He tilted his head and leaned on Xiao Nong, wanting to take a rest.

He had not thought about as much as he did recently in the previous eighteen years combined.

It was like a pretty, soft kitten suddenly leaning against him. Xiao Nong's breathing paused. He turned his eyes away motionlessly and saw that Zhong Yansheng had closed his eyes as if he was very tired.

He cried for a long time, his raven black eyelashes were wet and turned into messy clumps, and his eyelids to the tip of his nose were all red like peach blossoms, revealing a fragile fragility against his porcelain white skin, which was extremely beautiful.

He hasn't recovered from his cold yet, but compared to the physical fatigue, the ups and downs of his mood have caused greater mental and spiritual damage.

Xiao Nong's voice was low and soft: "Sleep for a while?"

The head on his shoulder shook.

"Eat something?"

Shook again.

Zhong Yansheng closed his eyes, feeling the familiar scent of Xiao Nong. He felt peaceful in his heart, and his voice was hoarse with a hint of nasality: "You don't have to do anything, just sit with me for a while."

Perhaps because Wei Ling had instructed the bandits not to disturb them before leaving, the two of them did not leave the main room, and people outside did not dare to come in casually. It was quiet.

Zhong Yansheng leaned on Xiao Nong's shoulder, his breathing gradually becoming even. When he was almost about to fall asleep, a loud curse suddenly rang out outside.

"Xiao Xianwei! Damn it, where are they? Let me go!"

Zhong Yansheng suddenly woke up.

Before he could sit up, he was pushed back by someone rubbing his soft black hair. Xiao Nong covered his ears with his hands and said calmly, "Don't worry about it."

That was clearly Lou Qingtang's voice!

Zhong Yansheng suddenly came to his senses, and slapped Xiao Nong's hand away, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "Don't try to cover up your mistake. Doctor Lou has been called in, and you need to let him take a look at your brain right away."

Xiao Nong frowned, seeming reluctant.

Zhong Yansheng discovered that after Xiao Nong's brain broke down, he seemed to only like being with him and didn't like being disturbed... Taxue was already an exception who was treated with extra leniency.

If it was anyone else, Xiao Nong would not want to see him, but he had to see Lou Qingtang and could not let him be willful.

As soon as Zhong Yansheng sat up straight, Wei Ling carried the bound Lou Qingtang into the main hall: "Young Master, the person you wanted is here."

Lou Qingtang valued his life very much and was well aware of the dangers in the mountains and forests. After following Zhong Yansheng into the forest the night before, he did not dare to leave the guards too far.

Having known Xiao Nong for many years, he knew how tenacious the life of His Royal Highness Prince Ding was. He was seriously injured and unconscious on the first day, but he was able to get up and kick people on the second day. Some bandits and assassins could not do anything to him. It was possible that he was trapped by a headache.

But he didn't expect that Zhong Yansheng would also disappear.

He and the guards searched in the woods for two days, feeling extremely anxious. He even suspected that his curse was successful and that Xiao Nong had died of pain. Otherwise, why would Xiao Nong let the little beauty take the risk alone?

Lou Qingtang was extremely worried. He couldn't eat or sleep well in the deep forest. He was extremely tired. He was in a trance and wanted to go to the stream to wash his face. When he left the guards a little bit, he was tied up with his mouth covered.

At first, Lou Qingtang didn't dare to say a word, as he didn't know Wei Ling's identity and was afraid of angering him and killing him. When he arrived at Shuiyun Village, he realized that this might be the bandit's nest they were looking for. He was shocked and frightened.

It was not until he saw the black-armored guards and Zhan Rong sitting down to rest outside the main hall that Lou Qingtang felt relieved and started screaming in anger.

He thought that Xiao Nong had sent people to capture him, but he didn't expect that the people who kidnapped him threw him away and called Zhong Yansheng "little master".

Lou Qingtang choked and looked at Zhong Yansheng, who was sitting on the stool intact, in doubt and surprise.

Thinking of the way Xiao Nong called him master, Zhong Yansheng couldn't bear to hear these words. The tip of his ears turned red: "Wei Ling, don't call me little master... Quickly untie Doctor Lou first."

Wei Ling responded calmly, and with the tip of the knife, he cut the hemp rope on Lou Qingtang's body.

Lou Qingtang was in no hurry to stand up. He sat on the ground, rubbing his wrists that were sore from being tied up. He looked at Xiao Nong, then at Zhong Yansheng, and said, "Now I finally understand what it means that all crows are black. Birds of a feather flock together. Young Master Zhong, you have become bad."

Zhong Yansheng didn't expect that Wei Ling would tie him up and bring him here. Being teased by him like this, he felt guilty and embarrassed: "I'm sorry, Doctor Lou, are you okay?"

"It doesn't matter if I'm okay or not." Lou Qingtang looked at Xiao Nong, who had never even glanced at him. As a doctor, he almost immediately noticed something was wrong. "It seems like Prince Ding has a bigger problem than me."

Zhong Yansheng didn't want to disturb his parents in the main room, so he stood up and asked, "Wei Ling, is there an empty room? Let's go over and talk."

Wei Ling nodded and changed his words considerately: "Young Master, please follow me."

Seeing Lou Qingtang still sitting on the ground, Zhong Yansheng thought he had been hurt and had no strength, so he wanted to help him. He stretched out his hand, but Lou Qingtang didn't dare to touch him and quickly crawled back three steps: "No, no, no, thank you for your kindness, but please don't come near me at this time, Young Master Zhong, your Highness Prince Ding will eat people if he falls into this state."

It seems that Xiao Nong had lost his mind because of a headache before?

Zhong Yansheng recalled the time when Xiao Nong had just captured him and taken him to the cave. Xiao Nong was full of aggressive, invasive, and beast-like behavior. He understood why Lou Qingtang reacted so strongly and comforted him, "It's okay. His Highness Prince Ding is very well-behaved now and won't bite anyone."

After thinking for a while, he demonstrated, clenched his fist and punched Xiao Nong in the chest: "Look, he won't fight back against me."

His force was very light, like tickling, and his sleeve brushed over a moist fragrance, rubbing softly across the chest and nose, making the chest feel numb. Xiao Nong's eyebrows raised subtly, and his misty blue eyes became hazy, becoming increasingly deep and dark, and unable to be seen clearly.

Lou Qingtang: “…………”

Are you hitting him? You are rewarding him!

If anyone else dares to do this, his hands will be broken into three pieces.

Lou Qingtang seemed to want to say something but stopped himself, and Wei Ling also seemed to want to say something but stopped himself.

Zhong Yansheng withdrew his hand, feeling that Lou Qingtang should not be that scared and could properly treat Xiao Nong, so he said with relief: "Please lead the way, Wei Ling."

When he walked out of the main hall, most of the people outside had already dispersed, and only the black-armored soldiers were waiting quietly in place.

Huo Shuang had already left Shuiyun Village. After they left, Zhan Rong felt less embarrassed and took off the cloth covering his face. When he saw Lou Qingtang being taken in for a while, several people came out, so he came up to him and asked, "Why is Doctor Lou here too?"

Lou Qingtang patted his shoulder and gave him a look: "Don't ask too many questions."

Zhan Rong vaguely understood, his face darkened, and he returned to his job, guarding Xiao Nong silently.

Xiao Nong and Taxue followed Zhong Yansheng on the left and right, their eyes fixed on him as if they were staring at their favorite prey, and they turned a deaf ear to any sounds from the outside world.

The chaotic scene outside the main hall had disappeared. The bandits were very convinced by Wei Ling and returned to their respective positions as soon as he gave an order.

Just looking at Zhong Yansheng and Xiao Nong, everyone's eyes were still very complicated.

They are still confused and have no idea of ​​Zhong Yansheng's identity. They only know that the person next to Zhong Yansheng is the rumored His Royal Highness Prince Ding.

But yesterday, it was still rumored throughout the village that His Royal Highness Prince Ding was a blue-eyed male favorite who was worth three hundred thousand taels.

He dared to call His Royal Highness Prince Ding his male lover, and His Royal Highness Prince Ding did not say a word to oppose. This young man is quite courageous! He is so bold!

Even the boss obeys his orders!

Zhong Yansheng felt confused by the admiring looks from the crowd and felt his whole body go numb. He quickly quickened his pace and left.

Wei Ling brought them to the most secretive rooms in the entire village, pushed open one of them, and said, "This room has never been occupied by anyone. Young master, you can stay here temporarily. Please."

Zhong Yansheng nodded and pulled Xiao Nong into the house: "Wei Ling, Zhan Rong, you guys just stay outside, no need to come in."

Xiao Nong was silent. Zhong Yansheng's order was the most important. Zhan Rong stopped and replied, "Yes."

Wei Ling also responded and closed the door for them.

Lou Qingtang observed Xiao Nong all the way and entered the house before he sighed: "It's really amazing, Young Master Zhong, you can really control His Royal Highness Prince Ding. You don't even know that he was a little scary when he went crazy before."

Zhong Yansheng whispered: "I know."

That night Xiao Nong pressed him down on the straw and went crazy for a long time. No one knew how he regained consciousness for a short time.

Lou Qingtang glanced at his expression and chuckled meaningfully, "I bet the crazy Prince Ding you saw is definitely different from the one we saw."

The mad Xiao Nong they saw was bloodthirsty, cruel and ruthless, and several people were unable to subdue him.

Zhong Yansheng's ears became even hotter because of his laughter. He felt as if Lou Qingtang had guessed something: "Please stop teasing me and go see how His Royal Highness Prince Ding is doing first."

Lou Qingtang never suffered a loss in business. He was kidnapped by Zhong Yansheng's men and suffered a little. Now he got his revenge verbally. He turned back to business with satisfaction: "Before I go to see His Royal Highness Prince Ding, could you do me a favor, Young Master Zhong?"

Zhong Yansheng recalled the story in the book, where the protagonist was injured and poisoned and found a miracle doctor, but was treated with all kinds of difficulties. His heart tightened: "What, what should I do?"

Lou Qingtang: "Sit in his arms."

Zhong Yansheng: “…”

Lou Qingtang said, "Hey, what's that look? I'm serious. If you don't sit in his arms and comfort him, I'm afraid my hand will break if I put it on his wrist."

Zhong Yansheng felt that Lou Qingtang was very dishonest and unreliable, but at the moment Lou Qingtang was the only one who understood Xiao Nong's illness. He bit his lip and hesitated for a while, but still chose to trust him and sat on Xiao Nong's lap obediently.

He was too embarrassed to lean into Xiao Nong's arms in front of Lou Qingtang, so he carefully sat down next to his knees, not daring to put his weight on him.

As a result, just as he got close, his waist suddenly tightened. He subconsciously cried out in surprise, and then his legs were shaken by Xiao Nong, and he sat on his thigh. His whole body was embraced in his arms with a bitter breath.

He was thin, with the frailness typical of young men, but Xiao Nong was already a fully mature, tall man. He was like a swift cheetah, holding a small tit that was not even as big as a palm. He easily trapped him in his arms, squinted his eyes with satisfaction, and buried his head in sniffing the back of his neck.

Taxue lay beside him, looking at Zhong Yansheng eagerly and wagging his tail enviously.

Lou Qingtang hadn't expected Xiao Nong to be so rude. He was stunned for a few moments, not daring to look at the two men. He coughed dryly and said, "Okay, now I can check his pulse."

Xiao Nong's thighs were strong and powerful. Zhong Yansheng was thin-skinned and dared not move at all. His ears were red and he dared not make a sound.

With Zhong Yansheng in his arms, Xiao Nong was indeed much more obedient. When Lou Qingtang felt his pulse, he just turned his head slightly, raised his eyes, and looked at him coldly, without doing anything else.

After a moment, Lou Qingtang withdrew his hand and frowned.

Zhong Yansheng was a little nervous: "How is it? How is brother doing now? Oh, yes, he still has a serious wound on his waist. It was still bleeding yesterday. It looks painful."

"It's okay." Lou Qingtang said sarcastically, "He's feeling comfortable now, so he definitely doesn't feel any pain."

Zhong Yansheng: “…”

Can, can you please speak properly!

Lou Qingtang stroked his chin and said slowly: "His current condition is not bad. It is much more stable than before when he had a headache, but it is not good either. There has never been such a situation before."

Zhong Yansheng felt a little itchy when Xiao Nong rubbed his neck. He tilted his head to avoid it and tried to discuss Xiao Nong's condition seriously: "Then how can we make him wake up? Acupuncture? Or take medicine?"

"Your Highness Prince Ding's headache started when he was fourteen, and it gets worse every year." Lou Qingtang shook his head and said, "These methods have long been ineffective for his headache."

Zhong Yansheng's heart trembled.

The pain started when he was fourteen...but there has never been any rumors outside. I guess Xiao Nong endured it except when he could no longer bear it and showed signs in front of his personal soldiers.

How painful must that be? No wonder he had such a wound on his waist. There was no reaction when applying medicine. It turned out that he had been suffering from pain that ordinary people could hardly bear for a long time.

Seeing his red eyes, Lou Qingtang scratched the tip of his nose and said, "Your Highness Prince Ding is very capable. Don't feel too sorry for him. Be careful that you will be eaten until there is nothing left."

Zhong Yansheng hummed with a nasal sound, not taking his words too seriously: "So what should we do now?"

If Xiao Nong can't wake up... he will keep Xiao Nong by his side.

He now has some strength to protect himself. In the past, it was Xiao Nong who protected him, and in the future, he will also protect Xiao Nong.

Lou Qingtang thought for a while: "How long has he been in this state? Has he been awake in the past two days?"

"When I saw him the night before, he was in a very bad condition. After that... he woke up for a while. We were chased by soldiers and jumped off the cliff into the water. My brother was hit on the head while trying to protect me. He was in this condition when he woke up."

Zhong Yansheng tried his best to ignore most of the embarrassing scenes in the past two days: "He was awake for a while this morning, but suddenly lost consciousness again."

Lou Qingtang is a businessman who is good at finding loopholes in other people's words to profit for himself. He saw through it at a glance: "You are not very honest, Young Master Zhong. It seems that you have omitted a lot of things. Don't be so secretive in front of the doctor. Do you still want your brother Prince Ding to wake up?"

Zhong Yansheng: “…”

Anyone who can become friends with a bad dog is definitely not a good person.

Zhong Yansheng muttered a few words in his heart with resentment, opened his mouth, but still couldn't say anything.

How could he say it? After Xiao Nong brought him back to the cave that day, he licked and bit him, thinking he was poisoned by a snake, sucked the wound on his thigh, and even...

And yesterday, he was forced by Xiao Nong to touch him... there with his hand, and he also insisted on licking his wound, and bit his chest until it turned red.

Until now, Zhong Yansheng still seems to have that strange touch in his palms.

It seems full of vitality and desire.

Seeing that Zhong Yansheng's neck had turned red, Lou Qingtang immediately shut up.

Very good, it was beyond his expectation again. The man surnamed Xiao was even more beastly than he imagined.

The two fell into silence for a moment. The patient being discussed seemed to have heard nothing. He was only obsessed with smelling Zhong Yansheng's scent, just like the one lying on the ground, Taxue, like a lazy ferocious beast.

Lou Qingtang coughed a few more times and stopped asking Zhong Yansheng for details: "So what did he do before he woke up?"

The words "with you" were very subtly omitted.

Zhong Yansheng was stunned for a moment and recalled.

When Xiao was in the cave, he sucked the blood from his wounds before he woke up... Did he taste his blood at that time? Or...

Suddenly, an image of Xiao Nong staring at him with his Adam's apple rolling as if he was swallowing something appeared in his mind.

Zhong Yansheng's face turned so red that he felt like he was going to explode.

How can it be!

Zhong Yansheng wanted to curl up into a small ball: "Have you ever had close contact with him?"

Okay, let’s end the topic.

Lou Qingtang thoughtfully interrupted the questioning: "It seems that your presence is indeed beneficial to his headache. I will think about it again."

"By the way." Zhong Yansheng added in a low voice, "He seems to like the smell of me and my blood."

Lou Qingtang glanced at Xiao Nong who was clinging to Zhong Yansheng like a big dog and said, "I can tell."

"Maybe my blood can be useful to him?" Zhong Yansheng's hand fell on the pulse on the side of his neck. Xiao Nong had been kissing him there that day, as if he was eager to bite through his throat.

"When my brother first woke up, it was probably because he tasted a little of my blood."

Zhong Yansheng was actually not quite sure whether it was Xiao Nong's bloodthirsty desire to attack or he really was thirsty for his blood.

Lou Qingtang thought for a while: "We can only give it a try. I will combine the prescriptions I used before and write a new one. You give me a bowl of blood..."

"No."

Xiao Nong, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly spoke up, his blue eyes staring at Lou Qingtang as cold as an icy lake: "No."

Zhong Yansheng turned his head and coaxed him: "We just want you to get better quickly. It's just a little bleeding. It's okay."

Although he was afraid of bleeding, and bruises would hurt for a long time, but if he wanted to wake Xiao up, using his blood seemed to be the fastest way.

"No."

Xiao Nong repeated coldly: "No, you're hurting yourself."

Lou Qingtang winked and said, "Let's go out and talk."

Zhong Yansheng saw what he meant, "Then we will bleed secretly." He nodded and wanted to stand up, but Xiao Nong was not very clear-headed and was not easy to fool. He exerted a little force on his hand and pulled Zhong Yansheng back to sit on his thigh. He said expressionlessly, "From now on, you are not allowed to leave."

Zhong Yansheng: “…”

Lou Qingtang: "..."

Lou Qingtang knew how difficult it was to deal with Xiao Nong when he was ill, so he had no idea what to do: "Did he drink your blood before he woke up this morning?"

Zhong Yansheng shook his head: "Not really."

Eating is another thing.

Even though Zhan Rong found them some soft silk lining, it still hurt a little.

Lou Qingtang had to repeat the sensitive topic just now: "Then, have you, um, ever had any close contact?"

Zhong Yansheng blushed.

Lou Qingtang looked strange, and uttered a long "oh", "It seems that His Royal Highness Prince Ding is quite picky. Blood may not be necessary, but close contact is a must. Hey, did you let him touch you and then not allow him to get close, so he kept doing it over and over again?"

“…”

Lou Qingtang suppressed his laughter and said, "We just let him know that we want to let your blood flow. He probably values ​​you more than the gold and won't approve it. Let's try other methods first. If that doesn't work, then use blood."

"What is it?"

Zhong Yansheng began to have a little trust in Lou Qingtang again.

Lou Qingtang: "Wait for me, I'll go prescribe a prescription for you."

Zhong Yansheng sat obediently in Xiao Nong's arms, waiting for Lou Qingtang to get the medicine. While he turned around to open the door to ask Wei Ling for something, he reached out and pushed Xiao Nong's head, complaining in a low voice: "You rubbed the back of my neck red."

Xiao Nong's voice was lazy: "Then, where should I rub?"

He really is like a big, bad and obedient dog: "I'll rub wherever you tell me to."

Is this a problem of where to rub?

Zhong Yansheng felt that no matter what he said, it was weird. He opened his mouth, but there was no way to reason with him. He said aggrievedly: "Can't you just stop rubbing against me?"

Xiao Nong answered decisively: "No."

Lou Qingtang, who had gone out to prescribe medicine, came back soon. Hearing the footsteps, Zhong Yansheng turned back in confusion: "Is it healed so quickly, Doctor Lou... What's this in your hand?"

Lou Qingtang went out for a while and did not return with the prescription. Instead, he got a hemp rope as thick as his index finger from somewhere and handed it to Zhong Yansheng: "This is the prescription for you."

Zhong Yansheng stared at him blankly.

Did he misunderstand the word "prescription"?

Lou Qingtang explained to Zhong Yansheng with a serious face, "Since he woke up twice because he had close contact with you, why don't you take the initiative to try to have close contact with him, as long as possible, kiss and rub vigorously, anything is fine."

He shook the hemp rope and said, "Don't worry, I've been very thoughtful. In order to ensure a smooth treatment, I was afraid that he might lose control, so I asked someone to bring the hemp rope. I'll teach you a few ways to tie the knots later. Tie a few more times around him to prevent him from getting free."

“…………”

You've been so thoughtful.

Zhong Yansheng said numbly: "Thank you, I'll knock Xiao Nong unconscious, then you can take my blood."

Xiao Nong, who had been strongly opposed just now, looked at the hemp rope. His reaction was completely different from Zhong Yansheng's. He seemed to be the one being tied up. He was eager to try and said in a cheerful tone, "Okay."
