"My legs ......" Xue Yao, who was hugging Lu Qian, had his brain spinning, and told Miss Azhu with a serious look, "It's because my legs are numb, so I have to help him walk."

Lu Qian turned his head, his eyes like a blade and asked his little companion, "Numb leg? Aftermath?"

Xue Yao turned around and asked, "What aftereffects?"

Lu Qian told his young companion about the possibility of paralysis after the silver needle was removed from the acupuncture point.

"There is no such aftereffects." Azhu explained to the two men who were acting suspiciously, "Helmsman Chen's silver needles can only make people sleep for half a day, there will be no aftereffects, he just wanted to invite you here."

"......" So, his Long Ao Tian has been tricked?

Xue Yao nervously glanced sideways at Lu Qian-

Lu Qian stared at Ah Zhu with a cold expression and spoke in a cold voice, "Do you want to hear Hou Yi shoot the sun?"

Xue Yao: "......"

It's over, it's over, Lu Qian is starting to change the subject! Obviously, he feels embarrassed to be fooled!

The crooks are in big trouble!

In the original story, the King of Ning occasionally misses, will divert other people's attention, and then privately and quickly solve the opponent, pretending that nothing happened!

"Houyi ...... shoots the sun?" Azhu turned her head sideways in bewilderment and asked the maid silently with an inquiring gaze: is this some kind of black saying?

The maid signaled the young lady to retreat with a look that said, "I don't understand, but it seems dangerous."

"We'd better leave you two alone." Azhu readily accepted the good advice.

"No bother!" Xue Yao hurriedly gestured, "You're welcome to come and sit down anytime."

Azhu breathed a sigh of relief and gratefully raised her girlish smile towards Xue Yao, "Really?"

"Fake." Lu Qian had a cold face.

Aju's smile froze at the corners of her mouth.

"Really really!" Xue Yao hurriedly coaxed, "He's joking with you!"

Azhu gratefully smiled at Xue Yao again, "Then the gentleman hasn't told me what you call yourself?"

Xue Yao: "I ......"

System alert: [Lu Qian's sense of security -1]

"...... won't tell you!" Xue Yao's gentle smile suddenly turned a corner, and he chided the little girl with a scowl!

System alert: [Lu Qian's sense of security +1]

The smile on Pearl's face disappeared completely!

It became aggravating.

Xue Yao ended up saying goodbye to Miss Azhu in the form of such a prank.

"I'm really disappointed in Your Highness." Looking in the direction of Azhu's departure, Xue Yao was disheartened, "When His Royal Highness went to Jiangnan to collect grain, he was very popular with the girls everywhere he went, Your Highness should reflect on yourself."

Big brother?

Lu Qian looked sideways at his young companion.

System alert: [Tyrant's acidity 26%]

Acidity?

Xue Yao turned her head to look at Lu Qian and asked blankly, "Just because I said a few words to her? Then it's not like you're talking to people in a serious way, so of course I have to help you retain her!"

What's so sour about it? It's too careful!

Lu Qian narrowed his eyes and stared at his little companion, languidly and slowly speaking, "You enjoy collecting food from big brother?"

"The point is not to collect food at all!" Xue Yao wanted to teach Lu Qian the basics of chasing girls, but when he thought that with his own experience, it didn't seem reasonable to teach skills to a humanoid hormone who was a fan wherever he went in the original story, he had to swallow his breath.

"Don't want to care about His Highness!" Xue Yao turned around and flopped onto the bed in a deflated manner.

Two knocks came from outside the door, followed closely by a black-clothed handyman walking in the door with his head bowed, resting the food box in his hand on the table, serving out the meal nimbly, and without saying a word, leaving with the food box again.

"They sent food?!" Xue Yao, whose eyes were green with hunger, immediately jumped out of bed.

Together, the two brothers walked over to the small octagonal table and looked down at the two bowls of white rice, a plate of pickled sauerkraut, and a chicken thigh that sat on the table.

"They are trying to starve Master." Lu Qian looked at the frugal food with murderous eyes.

Xue Yao bent down and pulled out the small bench, quietly sitting at the table and setting out the dishes for His Highness and himself, before bringing the dish of sauerkraut to himself and the chicken thighs to His Highness's bowl, tilting his head to look at Lu Qian, "Eat."

Lu Qian looked at him, "You don't eat chicken legs?"

"I ......" Xue Yao gulped and swallowed a mouthful, "No appetite. Your Highness eat, if you have a bad taste and really can't eat, I'll fix it for Your Highness."

Lu Qian didn't say anything, turned around and walked away, opened the door to the room, and raised his hand to point at the roof to the north, "You, come down."

Xue Yao watched in wonder as Lu Qian spoke to the air.

Soon, a man in black crashed to the ground from mid-air, staring at Lu Qian with a fierce expression, "What do you want?"

Probably because he didn't want his little companion to see his lack of demeanor, Lu Qian took a long leg and stepped out of the threshold, closing the door with his backhand and staring coldly at the black-clothed man in front of him.

Xue Yao couldn't see any movement outside, so he had to lower his head and eat his meal.

Yawning through a bowl of rice on the few pathetic pickles.

That silver needle should have anesthetic on it, Xue Yao was sleepy again and went back to bed after eating to squint for a while.

Xue Yao had already fallen asleep again when Lu Qian walked through the door with three chicken legs.

His Highness had to eat by himself first.

After eating, the little companion hadn't woken up yet.

"Yao Yao." Lu Qian bent down and grabbed the young companion's bun chirp and gave it a shake.

Xue Yao held his head and sat up with a bewildered look on his face, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

"The food is getting cold, get up and eat." Lu Qian urged.

"Dishes? Isn't it finished?" Xue Yao blankly turned his head to look at the Eight Immortal Table, and actually realized that there was still a piece of chicken leg on the table!

After a brief moment of confusion, Xue Yao's eyes fluttered as she looked incredulously at the filial and understanding cub!

Moved and shocked, Xue Yao couldn't help but choke up a bit and asked the cubs, "Did His Highness leave me all the chicken legs?!"

Lu Qian, who had just finished eating three chicken legs, froze, his shallow pupils turning slightly under his long eyelashes, looking slightly sheepishly at his little chaperone, his voice low and slightly trembling as he replied, "Uhm ......"

"Your Highness!!!" Xue Yao was touched to the core as he wrapped his arms around Lu Qian and rubbed his cheeks hard, "I shouldn't have said that about you just now, I actually like being with Your Highness more than the Crown Prince ......"

System alert: [Lu Qian's sense of security +9]

Xue Yao was touched to the core, and after eating the chicken leg, he accompanied His Highness to practice the girl game a few more times, twisting His Highness.

I thought that Miss Azhu must have died to Lu Qian, but I didn't expect that the Tyrant's Heartwarming Quest progress had been rising all afternoon, and by evening it had already reached 17%!

It's really strange, maybe that girl is a jitterbug and just likes to be dumped on by Lu Qian, and the more she thinks about it when she goes back, the more she gets excited?

Harmony continued into the evening.

Xue Yao inadvertently realized that there were three bones placed side by side under the table, squatted down and took a closer look, it seemed to be chicken leg bones?

"Your Highness, are these three bones chicken leg bones?" Xue Yao questioned suspiciously.

Lu Qian slanted a glance under the table as if he didn't know what was going on and said as if nothing had happened, "Maybe."

"How could there be three chicken bones under the table?" Xue Yao's eyes erupted into a Sherlock Holmes gaze.

"Left behind by the previously incarcerated." His Highness attempted to mislead the young companion.

"But the oil on the bones hasn't even dried yet, and this room is quite moisturized, isn't it?" Xue Yao used his death ray to gaze at the ungrateful pups who were becoming dishonest.

Lu Qian expressionlessly flirted with his little companion, "Maybe he put on milk with Yao Yao."

Xue Yao blushed and jumped up to deny it, "I was coaxing Miss Azhu! I didn't put on my face at all!"

"Will coaxing her help?" Lu Qian took a step forward and lowered his head to remind the little companion, "There's no way she'll let you go, only Master can get you out."

"I coaxed her for your sake!" Xue Yao said sharply.

Lu Qian trailed off with a teasing "Oh--?" There was a sound.

"It was meant to be." For you to experience the beauty of being in love!

Xue Yao argued, "Your Highness is always childish, since she was a naughty girl, didn't I always have to help remedy the situation? If you annoy Miss Azhu, we'll all suffer, so of course I have to coax her a bit."

"You helped Master remedy the situation?" Lu Qian cocked his head.

His Highness had been convinced that the young companion had lived to be so old under his own protection.

"It is my duty to help His Highness." Xue Yao said proudly.

"Like helping His Highness eat a chicken leg?" Lu Qian expertly demolished the table.

Xue Yao, whose strength had been protected for more than a decade, stared roundly!

This unfilial son isn't trying to deny it, is he?

"Doesn't Your Highness remember what I did for you?" Xue Yao solemnly reminded.

"It's because Your Highness protects Yao Yao." Lu Qian firmly believed that his little companion's care was a reward for his own protection.

"It's clearly me protecting you!" Xue Yao was not happy.

It's a question of whether the hen or the egg came first.

Xue Yao was clearly the one who paid first and had been paying for over a decade before he started to receive a little bit of a response, not realizing that the unfilial pups would want to take all the credit away from him when they got their wings hardened!

Xue Yao argued with reason: "In order to prevent Your Highness from being frightened into tears by the Third Prince, before each concentrated ride, I would venture out to inquire what hour the Third Prince would be participating in so that I could help Your Highness avoid the danger."

Lu Qian tit for tat: "Yao Yao doesn't study well, and every time the master takes a quiz, it's master who writes it."

Xue Yao had no way to refute this.

It's kind of scary to realize what it's like to read along with a child prodigy.

Little fat cubs can't forget, skipping levels to the sky, Xue Yao as a companion, can only force to follow the jump, that amount of learning is not a human officer at all, and then borrow him three brains can't possibly keep up.

So every time the master examined, are small fat cub pen like flying at the side to his "words", only to let him become Lu Qian from childhood to the big did not because "the results can not keep up with" was removed from the companion readers.

The unfilial pups actually revealed this old secret, and Xue Yao was enraged!

An argument over who protects whom ends up becoming a mutual exposé convention, and it gets worse ......

*

Azhu has been discussing with the maids all afternoon, but there's still no definite conclusion.

The

After all, Xue Yao's shyness and attentiveness towards her was genuine, and the unusual reactions from time to time could be due to shyness.

As for the conversation about "twisting or not twisting", maybe it was really because his feet were numb and he couldn't twist his body to ask for his help.

Xue Yao's two refusals had aroused Ah Zhu's desire for conquest, and if these two men weren't in that kind of relationship, she should still be able to fight for it and prove her charm.

So, in the evening, she personally took the fried mutton, which had been de-stuffed, to the backyard once again.

*

"In the eyes of your highness, I'm such a person who can't carry a shoulder or a hand is that it?" The afternoon's argument allowed Xue Yao to see the rebel pup clearly.

"It's someone who needs Master's protection." Lu Qian insisted on his position as guardian.

"Then all the times I protected His Highness don't count?" Xue Yao questioned once more.

"Your Highness can be very good on your own." Lu Qian had blind confidence in his own abilities.

Xue Yao slowly clenched his fists, has always thought that his own pay, the other side knows well, the original in his eyes ......

"Then Your Highness will be fine on your own." Xue Yao turned and ran out the door, wanting to avoid Lu Qian and swallow back her disappointment with the fresh air.

Running out of the porch, he had just stepped into the courtyard when there was a sudden dull thud in the dirt beneath his feet.

Before Xue Yao could even lower his head, he felt a huge object hit him head on!

His brain reacted in a flash - this courtyard might have been arranged with organs.

But his body couldn't react.

It was too late to even see what the massive object was made of, just enough time for the blood in his hands and feet to become cold.

The giant object wrapped in wind and crashed head on, Xue Yao could not avoid it.

A warm hand grabbed his wrist brutally.

Xue Yao was yanked backward by a force, flipped and flopped, and was eventually shielded in an embrace - the embrace of the teenager who still lacked a relationship to shake off his youthfulness.

Xue Yao was pinned to the ground and watched as the giant object swept past Lu Qian's head.

After a loud bang, there was an abrupt silence in the courtyard.

Xue Yao felt that her breathing was infinitely amplified, and her heartbeat passed through her thin clothing to Lu Qian's chest.

Azhu, who was carrying the fried mutton, and the two maids, walked through the courtyard door at this exact moment.

Saw this scene of two gents tangled up in a yard in broad daylight ......

"Clang", the food box in Chu's hand fell to the ground!

Xue Yao and Lu Qian simultaneously looked sideways at the visitor-

"...... Chatter, chatter." Azhu bent down to pick up the food box, pulled up the two maids who hadn't seen enough, and turned around to escape with a roll!

"No, it's not ......," Xue Yao reached out and called out, "Miss Azhu!"
