last time

Chapter 64
Li Xunchuan frowned, Zhuo Ran curled his lips into a smile, and whispered in his ear: "...excessive indulgence, my second master..."

Li Xunchuan gave a smirk, lowered his head and kissed Zhuo Ran, he raised his head, facing the tip of her nose, and said softly: "...Are you afraid that you will be sick..."

Zhuo Ran raised her neck, exposing the weakest part. She raised her head and found Li Xunchuan's lips, drew the outline carefully, bit his lower lip lightly, and said in a muffled voice, "...Come on..."

Smiling, Li Xunchuan walked around her neck, biting the collarbone, then stumbled all the way to her forehead, and finally found Zhuo Ran's lips to kiss devoutly.

Li Xunchuan never knew what this kind of feeling meant. In his heart, he hated being controlled by others. He obviously didn't want to overindulge, but he still pursued hard like drinking poison to quench his thirst. He only knew that in this kind of relationship, he could Relax yourself, do what you want, without any constraints, it is very free.

He hadn't felt this way in a long time.Zhuo Ran is a piece of ice, but it can be warmed into water droplets by him, and it all fell to Li Yuchuan like rain, Zhuo Ran gave him a familiar feeling.

What he didn't know was that Zhuo Ran also followed Li Yanchuan all the way to the edge of freedom. Every step was extremely difficult. Although she would run back every time without knowing it, she could always be found by Li Yanchuan, holding the belt Come back again and again, tirelessly and never stop.

"... Chi Yue..." Zhuo Ran showed pain on her face, she opened her eyes and said softly, "Today is the Dragon Boat Festival..."

Li Xunchuan squeezed her wrist and said, "Sleep when it hurts, baby, trust me, it won't hurt in a while..."

Zhuo Ran reached the corner of his lips, she moved her injured leg slightly, Li Yanchuan's leg was a little distance away from her, pinching her waist, Zhuo Ran raised her head, and all the expressions she showed were not painful I can't stand it, but there are countless lingering teasing.

Li Xunchuan bit her lightly, and didn't take a close look at her wound last night, the pain must have not been dealt with right now, he was still thinking about finding a doctor to see it later, when he heard rustling noises nearby.

Li Xunchuan frowned, kissing Zhuo Ran passionately, squinting at him, his eyes widened in fright, and he hugged Zhuo Ran in his arms.

Standing outside the gauze curtain were Gu Zhao and Wu Song. They opened their mouths to say something, but they looked at each other, daring not to say anything.

Li Xunchuan lowered his voice, slightly annoyed: "Why didn't you knock on the door?"

"I...Master, I knocked for a long time and no one answered, so I thought something happened. I...I'm sorry, Master..." Gu Zhao stared at Wu Song and said, "The pine...the pine nuts didn't tell me."

Wu Song hadn't recovered yet. It was the first time he saw Li Xunchuan's relatives when he was 12 years old. He was about to ask if he wanted to see a doctor, but when he came in, he saw Gu Zhao stunned here, and he was stunned for a long time.

"I... I forgot..." Wu Song lowered his head and rubbed his hands, and hurried to run, saying, "...I'm going to make medicine for the master!"

Gu Zhao covered his eyes and went out too. Li Yanchuan sighed, he let go of Zhuo Ran, changed his position and lay down again, and said: "Let's go after dinner, and I will tell Zhou Yu the situation when I go back to Zuixue Court. Don't tell others about the injury, so as not to startle the snake."

Zhuo Ran let out a muffled "Yes", and Li Yanchuan smiled, took out the red bracelet from under the pillow, and tied it carefully on Zhuo Ran's wrist, Zhuo Ran opened his eyes and looked at it, touched the pearl buckle on it and smiled slightly , Said: "The second master is really ingenious."

"Do you like it?" Li Yuchuan said, "From now on, you can only wear the bracelet I gave you on your wrist."

Zhuo Ran said: "Dragon Boat Festival wears five-color thread, why give me red?"

Li Xunchuan took out another bracelet, which was exactly the same as Zhuo Ran's, and motioned Zhuo Ran to tie it on for him. Li Xunchuan thought about it and said, "Red calls you. Speaking of which, I have never seen you in red."

Zhuo Ran touched the pearl buckle on Li Xunchuan's bracelet, and said, "I clearly only left one, where did this buckle come from?"

Li Xunchuan smiled and said, "Xiaqiu is not smart anymore, you forgot..."

He buried his hands in the quilt, touched Zhuo Ran's ribs through the clothes, and whispered softly: "... There are buttons here too."

Zhuo Ran shrank her neck and said softly: "It's really presumptuous."

Li Xunchuan embraced her, buried her deeply in his arms, and said, "Xiaqiu, you should know that once you put on my bracelet, you are mine."

You and I are still in the house, but Gu Zhao can't wait to give himself two slaps when he is outside. It is better to faint directly than to watch the exciting scene. He sighed and said, "How can you say that, master, Zhuo... Sir Si Ye is a woman after all, so he kidnapped her into bed right now?"

Although Wu Song saw him many times, they were all after the event. Today was the first time ever. He fanned the fire of the medicine stove with a cattail fan, and said, "Brother Zhao is busy, so he is not often in the house. Master Si Ye will go to the house with the master." I've been in bed several times, by the way, Brother Yu and I were kissed to death watching Si Ye that day, the master is really cruel!"

"Wh...what?" Gu Zhao opened his eyes wide and said, "You...you mean this has happened a long time ago, and both you and Xiyu know about it?"

Wu Song nodded, and said innocently: "How could I not know, such a big commotion. By the way, Brother Zhao, I saw that they didn't move much when they kissed. Why did the bed collapse when I heard it a few times?" ? What else did the master do?"

Gu Zhao coughed a few times, feeling a little embarrassed, and said, "You don't care, this is the master's business. When Si Ye comes at night, you should stay away and try not to be on duty at night."

"why?"

Gu Zhao had an indescribable look on his face, he sighed, and said, "You are still young, so you can't wait for medicine. Didn't you say that Si Ye was injured? I'll go find a doctor."

Wu Song nodded and said, "Okay. By the way, Brother Zhao, you can bring a few more rice dumplings. There are people in the kitchen of the mansion who make them, but they are definitely not enough."

"understood."

***
Zhuo Ran took the medicine at Li Yanchuan's place, and ran out while the guards were on shift. Li Yanchuan stuffed sugar into her mouth to relieve the bitter taste, and stepped into her residence, ignoring the wound on her leg as much as possible.

The courtyard is as clean as ever.The Imperial College was on holiday, and Kang Shengan got up early in the morning. After Yongniang wrapped the rice dumplings and threw them into the pot, she was busy ordering some realgar for Kang Shengan.

Zhuo Ran smiled slightly and said, "Madam, Sheng An, I'm back."

Yong Niang hurried forward and took the zongzi from Zhuo Ran's hand, which was taken from Li Xunchuan Mansion, she smiled and said: "This is meat zongzi, it will take longer to heat up."

"Thank you, Sir Si Ye." Yong Niang led Zhuo Ran to sit down, and said, "I also made zongzi, it will be ready later, Si Ye will try it too, I put red dates in it, it's so sweet."

Zhuo Ran nodded and said, "Thank you Ma'am."

"Lord Si Ye's bracelet is so beautiful." Kang Sheng'an saw the bracelet on Zhuo Ran's wrist at a glance. He looked up at Zhuo Ran and said, "But why isn't Si Ye made of five colors?"

Zhuo Ran smiled and said, "Red complements me."

As if thinking of something, Yong Niang hurried out of the room and took some embroidered sachets, she looked at Zhuo Ran and said, "Si Ye choose, which one do you like?"

Zhuo Ran took the rabbit, Yong Niang understood, she turned her head to look at the kitchen, and said, "Si Ye, wait a moment, I'm going to fetch the zongzi, it's time."

"I'll help Madam." Zhuo Ran got up, and Kang Sheng'an followed. Yong Niang uncovered the pot with a damp cloth, and the smell of rice dumplings came to her face. Zhuo Ran thought of the General's Mansion again.

Her father can also make zongzi, and what she likes the most is that Zhuo Ting puts a bracelet on her and Zhuo Yi before taking the zongzi out of the pot, lights the realgar, eats the zongzi together, and listens to the maid singing. The days are short but the aftertaste is long, it is Zhuo Ran's heart.

Yong Niang seemed to have noticed something, she pulled Zhuo Ran to sit at the table, and said, "Si Ye is homesick?"

Zhuo Ran nodded, she buried her head in peeling the zongzi leaves, bit into them, and said: "The zongzi made by Madam is really different from the outside ones, they are delicious."

Yong Niang smiled slightly, and said: "Si Ye hasn't gone to Zuixue Court yet, has he? I'll pack some zongzi and you can take it with you, try it too."

Zhuo Ran said: "Then I would like to thank Madam."

The Drunken Snow Court was also lively, and the higher-ups allocated some money, and immediately bought realgar wine and rice dumplings here, and those who saw it had a share.

Zhuo Ran leaned against the wall and slowed her legs. Li Xunchuan didn't dare to wrap her in thick gauze, for fear of sweating and stuffiness, but at this moment, she was still in pain. Zhuo Ran squeezed her dress tightly, thinking about saying a few words before leaving .

Fu Sisi and Chang Yinyu strode out. As soon as Chang Yinyu looked up, he saw Zhuo Ran and shouted loudly: "Master...Master!"

Fu Sisi covered her lips and smiled, Zhuo Ran immediately stood up straight, and walked over slowly, Zhuo Ran joked, "It's a matter of making people listen to you."

Fu Sisi sighed and said, "He can't control his mouth."

"By the way, little junior sister, when did you come back last night?" Chang Yinyu returned Gu Songyin to Zhuo Ran, and said, "I almost fell asleep in the prison and you didn't come to find me."

Zhuo Ran shook her head and said, "Second Young Master Yan originally wanted to invite Liu to sacrifice wine, but there was something to do with the sacrifice, so I had to go there as a last resort. I was almost ugly when I came back, so I went directly to Yong Niang's place."

"No wonder I see your complexion is not good." Seeing her haggard face, Fu Sisi thought she was sick, but she forgot what she said, and said, "Eh? Yong Niang also made rice dumplings? I was just Thinking about going back to buy some meat dumplings."

Zhuo Ran smiled and said: "Coincidentally, there are meat dumplings in here. Yong Niang's embroidery work has started again, and the sales are good, so I added meat."

"Yes." Chang Yinyu said: "Go in first, I'll go out and buy some wine, the realgar wine is really bad."

Zhuo Ran squeezed Gu Songyin tightly, frowned slightly, Fu Sisi turned around and stuffed the purse into Chang Yinyu, and ordered, "The Grand Tutor's wine gourd is also filled!"

Zhuo Ran wiped the sweat from her forehead, she pulled Fu Sisi's sleeve and said softly, "Let's go, Sister Fu."

Han Congzhong put on new clothes, but he still hung up the old outer shirt, which had many holes patched and looked out of place with the new clothes. Zhuo Ran knew that Han Congzhong was nostalgic, so he didn't say anything.

Han Congzhong pointed to the newly-plucked grape seedlings and said with a smile, "Look, Xiaqiu, the buds have sprouted."

Zhuo Ran smiled and said, "Master took good care of me."

"Why do I see you so sleepy, didn't you have a good rest last night?" Han Congzhong frowned and said, "Put out your hand, let me see."

Zhuo Ran hesitated, she stretched out her hand, Han Congzhong felt her veins for a moment, and said, "Change your hand."

Zhuo Ran obediently changed the hand strap, and Zhuo Ran lifted it up because the hand strap was a bit in the way.Fu Sisi carefully looked at Zhuo Ran's bracelet, and said, "This is what Yong Niang gave you too? It looks very beautiful."

Zhuo Ran nodded, looked at Han Congzhong and said, "Master, I really just haven't had a good rest, nothing happened."

Han Congzhong sighed and said, "Are you fighting someone again?"

"I..." Zhuo Ran has always been exquisite, but now he really doesn't have the energy to think of excuses, so he can only say: "Master... I don't, it's just that I was too tired last night. I listened carefully to what Master said, and I really didn't do anything."

Han Congzhong said: "Xiaqiu, you need to take good care of your body."

"I know." Zhuo Ran peeled off the zongzi and handed it to Han Congzhong, saying, "Master, don't worry."

Han Congzhong took the zongzi, Zhuo Ran peeled another one for Zhou Yu, and said seriously: "Master, Uncle Zhou, you must have heard about the recent events. There is indeed a person hiding in Gaodu, but that person and Li Chengru don't seem to have the same relationship." Contact, the matter between Guan Yin and Fang Hu, the former is derived from the momentum of the latter, so I can't find anything from Li Cheng's actions alone."

Zhou Yu said: "At first, your master and I thought it was Li Chengru. He and Liao Ze wanted Chu Shiyu to die. Li Chengru is alone now, so he must find someone to cooperate. Isn't Fang Hu just a pawn arranged by him? "

Han Congzhong sprinkled a handful of sugar on the zongzi and said, "Although that's the case, Li Chengru's secret manipulation is indispensable for Li Xunchuan's involvement. He should know that this time he is being used as a pedal, and he is impatient."

"There is always a gap in every secret." Zhuo Ran said: "He will definitely try to find this person. Since there is an intersection, it is not difficult to talk about cooperation."

Fu Sisi sighed, and said: "The imperial prison is not peaceful, it seems that I have to step up inspections, so that there are no hidden dangers in the imperial prison."

"There's no follow-up to the assassin incident last time." Zhuo Ran said.

Fu Sisi nodded and said, "It's the same as what we thought. The assassin was sent by Li Chengru. It's better to retire if he misses a hit."

"In short, the two of you must be careful in your actions," Han Congzhong said, "especially Xiaqiu, you must keep in mind what Master told you, and don't just follow through with your words."

"Yes." Zhuo Ran nodded.

Chang Yinyu took big strides, ran back quickly, and squatted in front of Han Congzhong, panting, holding the wine gourd and wine jug: "Sir, your wine..."

Han Congzhong took a sip in satisfaction, touched Zhou Yu, Fu Sisi took the wine cup and filled it up, the three juniors drank to each other, Zhuo Ran's throat felt hot, but nothing showed on his face.

Fang Hu's confession showed Chu Shiyu and ended with a very imperfect ending.Emperor Chongwen was seriously ill, so he only confessed that Li Xunchuan was to be restrained, and that rewards and punishments were clearly defined, but he did not go to court for seven days.
