Eunuch's Declaration of Loyalty

Chapter 84

"Qin Shu, what are you looking at? Didn't the imperial physician tell you to rest more?"

As soon as Liu Qingtang entered the room, she saw Qin Shu leaning on the bedside and looking through something, so she leaned over and leaned beside him to look.Liu Qingtang smiled immediately after seeing the familiar camellia album, "I drew the 'Shu Ming' camellia album for you."

Thinking of the unfinished book, Liu Qingtang put her arms around Qin Shu's neck and leaned on his shoulder and said, "There should be a copy of 'Tsinghua', but unfortunately there are still a few pages missing. Next time we will go to Yufo Temple. Can you fill it up?"

"Of course it's good." Qin Shu closed the atlas, and also reached out to hug Liu Qingtang.How nice it is to be able to hold her like this now.At that time, the pain and sorrow in his heart when he knew that he was going to leave her was no less than that of Liu Qingtang.

Full of worries that Qingtang would feel uncomfortable and cry, just thinking about it, Qin Shu felt that this kind of feeling of being uncomfortable because of her discomfort was more unbearable than the pain of the wound on her body.

In fact, seeing Liu Qingtang's pain at that time, he thought about letting her die together, but he suppressed the idea for a moment.

Qin Shu only has Liu Qingtang, but Liu Qingtang not only has Qin Shu, she also has relatives, friends, followers and the people of the Southern Dynasty whom she misses so much, so Qin Shu can die, but Liu Qingtang cannot.

Fortunately, they are all fine in the end, so it is something to be grateful to be able to hug each other quietly like now and feel the fresh life of each other.

"Qin Shu, the sun is good today, how about I go outside to bask in the sun with you?"

Qin Shu touched the faint bruise under Liu Qingtang's eyes with some pity, "Didn't Qingtang rest long last night?" After speaking, he sighed first.

"If it wasn't for the way I am now..."

"So you should take a good rest and take care of your body quickly. Otherwise, what energy would you use to make me happy? Also, don't you take care of your wounds all over your body quickly? I dare not sleep with you at night because I'm afraid I won't be honest. I touched your wound. Look, you don’t sleep with me, it’s only been a few days, and I’ve got bruises right now.” Liu Qingtang’s words were both coaxing and scolding, making Qin Shu continue to speak no matter how bad he was. .

Why doesn't he know her thoughts, she also understands his thoughts, so these things don't matter.

However, this time, it is enough for Qingtang to completely pull down the chief assistant and the loyal imperial faction, control the public opinion outside and the direction of voices in the court, and solve those positions that are suddenly vacant.Coupled with the fact that he was bedridden and worried about him, Qin Shu was worried that Liu Qingtang would be tired.

Lying on the bed at night, he wondered if Qingtang was still dealing with those things and couldn't rest, and when eating during the day, he wondered if Qingtang was busy and forgot to eat.

He had witnessed it with his own eyes, although at that time he was still silently watching from the sidelines, how the woman he loved changed from an innocent girl to a mature woman in charge of the government.The hard work and sweat in it, others see it as amazement, but he only sees it with distress.Unbearable pain.

Qin Shu always wanted to see Liu Qingtang, and wanted to see that she was still well.

He has dreamed countless times these days, and every time he wakes up, his forehead is covered with cold sweat. Although he can't remember the content of the dream, after he wakes up, the unwillingness and regret of not being able to protect Qingtang are deeply entangled in his heart.

It was as if in the dream he failed to protect her well, and could only watch her die, so uncomfortable that even if he didn't remember what happened in the dream, his heart still firmly remembered the pain and fear.

Qingtang was very tired and busy, even if she wanted to see her again, she couldn't disturb her.Even if he wanted to stay with her for a while longer, he couldn't ask her to stay.Qin Shu could only think like this, and then sat there alone, picked up the picture album she gave him, and through the beautiful flowers and trees, laid out the lingering memories of those good times in his heart.

Since ancient times, lovers have been in love in two places, and they will start to miss when they are separated, regardless of the distance.When Qin Shu missed Liu Qingtang, Liu Qingtang also missed him.

But both Qin Shu and Liu Qingtang are too rational, most of the time they are rational, even though they themselves sometimes hate this rationality very much.

Liu Qingtang originally just came to see Qin Shu, and she still had a lot of things to do.It is not so easy to change the power on the surface and change in the dark, not to mention that in this case, she has to bear the pressure of some officials from the Liu family faction.

Imprisoning the emperor, sending officials to death and dismissing officials, not every official of the Liu faction can accept her behavior like treason.She can be tough on her enemies, but she can only make tangible and better changes for the questions raised by those who used to be her solid backing and support her, so that they can see it and make them feel at ease.

Liu Qingtang knew that she was hasty in doing this, but she didn't regret it.Since the court was in turmoil because of this incident, she simply replaced it with fresh blood for the court that had been dominated by the old courtiers for too long without making any changes.She has been committed to promoting those young courtiers who dare to think and do, and now she gives them the opportunity to show them, and then it is time for them to do something for the Southern Dynasty.

If she doesn't get rid of the remaining rotten atmosphere, how can she accompany Qin Shu to retire with peace of mind, and this opportunity is fleeting, so she can only seize this opportunity and seize the time to do everything she can do now for the future emperor—theirs. Godson Xiao Le'an is ready.

So Liu Qingtang was really tired, so tired that Qin Shu hugged her and fell asleep after a while.Obviously there are still many things I want to say to him, so I thought about it carefully before coming here, Qin Shu is probably very boring in the room alone, so I need to hurry up and talk to him for a while.But Liu Qingtang found that no matter how persistent she was outside, as soon as she saw Qin Shu, it was as if she had transformed from the omnipotent queen mother back into a delicate flower that had been carefully cared for, and the weakness and exhaustion that had been deliberately hidden were no longer there. She needed to bear it, so she fell asleep and leaned on Qin Shu's shoulder like that.

Qin Shu was quiet for a while without seeing the person in his arms making a sound, but when he turned his face to the side, he heard her slow breathing ringing in his ears.

she fell asleep?Qin Shu lowered his head slightly to touch Liu Qingtang's forehead, and hugged her arms tightly.Originally, the wound on his waist and abdomen could not sit for a long time, and he needed to lie down to rest after sitting for a while, but seeing Liu Qingtang fell asleep, Qin Shu didn't dare to make a sound easily, so as not to disturb her who was sleeping soundly.

Leaning there, against her forehead, listening to her soft breathing, Qin Shu felt that there was nothing better than this.He wanted Liu Qingtang to sleep more, but after only a while, Liu Qingtang woke up with a start.Qin Shu just noticed that she moved, as if she was about to wake up, when she suddenly called his name, as if extremely anxious, so he immediately took her hand and replied, "I'm here."

Liu Qingtang didn't sleep much these days, and occasionally she would have dreams when she rested for a while, and her dreams were full of strange things.Qin Shu was lying on the palace road covered in blood, lying in the pile of rocks, bleeding from all over his body, staining the surrounding area into a pool of blood.Even the appearance of Qin Shu's dilapidated corpse eaten by insects, ants and crows in his previous life, which he hadn't recalled for a long time, reappeared in his dream.Shocked, she woke up suddenly, and when she saw Qin Shu's concerned eyes, she suddenly took a breath.

"Qingtang, have you been haunted by a nightmare?"

"Well, I haven't had such a nightmare for a long time." Liu Qingtang still didn't feel that it was enough to get close enough, and went straight into Qin Shu's arms, messing up her bun a little.But she suddenly remembered something, got up and sat down, and said with some regret: "The imperial doctor said you can't sit for a long time, and I fell asleep relying on you. You have been sitting for a long time, right? Lie down."

Qin Shu didn't listen to her, hugged her again, stroked her back comfortingly and talked to her, "I'll be fine, I don't want to."

Hearing Qin Shu's words, she felt relieved, Liu Qingtang rubbed Qin Shu's neck and kissed his chin, suddenly she didn't want to do anything, she just wanted to stay by his side.

It seemed that what she was busy with should be left to her brother.A few days ago, Xi Lan rescued her in time, and she wanted to take the opportunity to restore Xi Lan's female status, but before she had time to tell her, when she asked her what reward she wanted, she directly confessed her female status.Liu Qingtang naturally wanted to keep her, and since this matter was related to marrying a wife, Liu Qingrong also changed from her usual laziness and was very active.Now there is basically no pressure on this matter, her brother is busy chasing his wife, forgetting that her younger sister is still busy.

The father asked for help several times, but Liu Qingtang firmly refused without saying a word. She didn't want her old father to recite these insults at all, she would rather do it by herself.But brother, she thought about it and felt that she should assign all these things to him. She had worked hard for two lifetimes, but she still couldn't spend her small life with Qin Shu in peace of mind.As for that idiot brother, he is about to marry a wife, and she doesn't want to make it easy for him seeing how happy he is.

"I'll let my brother enter the palace later, leave all the things in hand to him, and then come back and rest with you." Liu Qingtang said, thinking that Xiao Huaixu was getting worse in Chang'an Palace, and said again: "It's time Let Ayong come to the palace."

Hearing Liu Qingtang talking about her godson Xiao Le'an, Qin Shu still caressed her back slowly, and said quietly: "We have no choice, Ah Yong likes you so much, I won't blame you."

"Ah Yong likes me? Where did you find out that he likes to bully me every time, and he's so obedient in front of you!" Liu Qingtang snorted, "Even that damned parrot doesn't like me, he only likes me You, this time Ah Yong is here, tell him not to bring that dead parrot back, I'm annoyed when I see that glib little bastard, let him stay in Yang's house from now on."

"I like you." Qin Shu said suddenly.

Liu Qingtang was caught off guard by listening, and suddenly felt a little burning on his face, oh, and then fell silent again.It's funny to say, at first, before she fell in love with Qin Shu, she didn't feel anything when she justly took advantage of him, and took it as funny that his ears were red.

Now, even if I suddenly heard him say that I like it, I felt a little embarrassed. It was like a little girl who heard her sweetheart say that for the first time, and she was so embarrassed that she just wanted to bury her face in his arms.

On this day, Liu Qingtang really summoned Liu Qingrong into the palace, entrusted him with a series of things, and brought Xiao Le'an back to Ci'an Palace.Qin Shu was arranged by her to bask in the sun outside. As soon as Xiao Le'an saw Qin Shu, he broke free from Liu Qingtang's hand, ran forward and said to Qin Shu: "Godfather, wait for Yonger to learn medical skills, and heal you."

Liu Qingtang was a little relieved to hear it, but also a little complicated.They watched him grow up, and they all know how much this kid likes medical skills. He is still too young, and maybe he doesn't understand the position he is about to take at all, so he is destined not to be a doctor who can help the world.

"Yong'er, do you know what you are going to do when you enter the palace?" Qin Shu was hugged by Liu Qingtang on his left arm, and Xiao Le'an was lying on his right side, sitting on the rocking chair and asked his godson seriously like a little man.

Xiao Le'an glanced at Liu Qingtang, and replied crisply: "My mother said, to comfort the godmother, don't let her think about it, she wants to be a real mother."

After finishing speaking, seeing Liu Qingtang moved her face away, she sighed like a grown-up with her hands behind her back: "I don't know what you adults are worrying about all day. Godfather and mother-in-law are so kind to Yonger, what can I do to help you?" Just tell me, I’m already this old, I can decide my own affairs.”

"Okay, let me ask you, Yonger, are you willing to be emperor?" Liu Qingtang asked amusedly.

"Yes, because I am the emperor. I treat all the patients in the Southern Dynasties at will. The medicinal materials are all mine. Living in so many rooms in the palace, there are many places to raise the patients!"

Xiao Le'an spoke loudly, and Liu Qingtang wanted to tell him that what he said was wrong, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that there was no way to refute it.It's not impossible to be an emperor, but no emperor has ever thought of that.

Seeing the hope on his godson's childish face, Liu Qingtang suddenly had a strange premonition that when his godson became emperor, he would definitely be the most unique emperor in the history of the Southern Dynasties.
