Lin Ci'an's breathing stagnated and he pressed one knee against the edge of the couch.
When the cold ointment touched his fingertips, Chu Ziyu trembled violently and the instep of his feet stretched straight.
"Don't move." Lin Ci'an warned in a hoarse voice, but his palm uncontrollably rubbed the red skin.
Amid the aroma of medicine, Chu Ziyu suddenly groaned - Lin Ci'an's thumb rolled heavily over the most severely broken skin, causing a shudder.
"My Lord..." Tears welled up in his eyes, "Are you...prescribing medicine or punishing me?"
Lin Ci'an leaned over, his nose almost touching his burning earlobe: "If it hurts, remember it, next time..." His hot breath sprayed on the side of his neck, "Let me ride on you instead."
(System 6872: "Ding! Darkness value -20! Current 15/100! Host, don't shake your legs!")
Chu Ziyu curled up his toes, and his fingertips, which were stained with the scent of medicine, suddenly hooked Lin Ci'an's jade belt: "Now...Does the Marquis want to..."
Pei Zheng's voice suddenly came from outside the tent: "My Lord! We caught a spy!"
Lin Ci'an angrily pulled the quilt over Chu Ziyu, and when he turned around, his black cloak fluttered like an eagle's wings: "...Continue later."
Chu Ziyu looked at his back as he walked out with his hands and feet together, buried his face in the pillow and laughed silently.
(System 6872: "......Your legs are bleeding and you're still flirting?!")
"You don't understand. It's been too long."
The wind and snow were howling outside the tent. When Lin Ci'an dragged the spy into the interrogation tent, the man was already covered in blood, but he still clenched his teeth and refused to speak.
“Your bones are tough.” Lin Ci’an sneered, playing with a dagger as thin as a cicada’s wing with his fingertips. “But I’m very curious—”
He suddenly pinched the spy's chin and forced him to look up: "The emperor sent you here to monitor Chu Ziyu or to monitor me?"
The spy's pupils shrank. He obviously didn't expect that Lin Ci'an already knew the relationship between Chu Ziyu and the emperor.
Lin Ci'an narrowed his eyes and rolled his fingertips heavily over the spy's broken ribs: "Not talking? Then let me guess--"
"The emperor saw that Chu Ziyu was hesitant to take action and suspected that he had second thoughts, so he sent you to 'remind' him?"
The spy was breathing rapidly, and cold sweat mixed with blood was dripping down his face.
Lin Ci'an leaned forward, his voice like a venomous snake: "Or... the emperor can't wait any longer, and plans to get rid of Chu Ziyu at the celebration banquet?"
The spy trembled all over and finally collapsed: "My Lord, spare me! Your Majesty... Your Majesty is indeed suspicious of Mr. Chu! He said... If Mr. Chu doesn't take action, then, then..."
"Just what?"
"Just kill Mr. Chu's 'brother'!"
——The air suddenly became dead silent.
Lin Ci'an's eyes darkened and his knuckles cracked.
(Chu Ziyu's younger brother had died on the way to exile many years ago, but the emperor still used this as a threat!)
Inside the tent, Chu Ziyu slowly straightened his clothes, dipped his fingertips into the ointment, and gently applied it on the wound on the inside of his leg.
The ointment was cool, but it couldn't suppress the faint burning sensation beneath the skin - that was the remaining temperature in Lin Ci'an's palm.
(System 6872: "Boss, are you really alright with your injury?")
"It's just a minor injury." Chu Ziyu chuckled, "Compared to this, the spy is more interesting."
Chu Ziyu leaned on the couch, and with a flick of his fingertips, he took out a bronze token from under the pillow - he had taken it from Lin Ci'an's waist when he was hugging him just now.
There are dark patterns engraved on the token: the Black Iron Token.
(System 6872: "!!! When did you——")
"Hush." Chu Ziyu hid the token back into his sleeve, "Xiao An already knew about it."
