Chapter 138: Prince’s little quilt 13 (part 2 of 2)
Shen Tong queried worriedly: “Do you feel a little better?”
“En,” Yuwen Yin nodded, then thoughtfully mentioned: “……a hug can warm me up even faster.”
The little quilt enthusiastically said at once: “Then I’ll warm you up with a hug!”
After saying so, he opened his arms and took the initiative to hug Yuwen Yin. Yuwen Yin, who was actively hugged by the little quilt in human form for the first time, felt a slight indescribable excitement deep down, as well as an incredible softness. After having liked someone to a certain degree, sometimes, just a pure and simple hug from him, will feel very satisfying.
Since Yuwen Yin’s current height at this age was only about one or two centimeters taller than Shen Tong, his clothes were just right for Shen Tong. So, Yuwen Yin found his own clothes, and clothed Shen Tong one piece at a time.
The servants in the Changde Palace would have never imagined that their master could actually have this kind of side in their backs. Having a satisfied expression on his face while waiting upon another person, and would even personally put on the socks. Shen Tong was garbed in a blue colored chang pao like Yuwen Yin. The two looked like they were wearing couple clothes, with different impact.
During this period of time, Yuwen Yin heads to the martial arts training ground to practice martial arts everyday. Resulting into the uniform development of the muscles on his shoulders, waist and abdomen, that made the clothes suit him perfectly well; Shen Tong, on the other hand, had a very slender figure. The wide belt of the chang pao was tied quite tightly, that the belt wound on his waist gave an illusion that his waist could be held by one hand, which couldn’t help but make others want to measure how thin and soft it really is.
For fear of being seen by the people in the palace and causing unnecessary troubles, the little quilt still made use of his invisibility technique. But since he now had the mouth to eat, he rushed to the dining table to wait for breakfast as soon as he was dressed, with an especially endearing look as he eagerly waited. The two palace maids serving the food only saw their master look at the vacant spot at the opposite side of the dining table with a very gentle expression, while reining in all the sharpness of his body. The dark jade-like eyes were filled with deep and infinite tenderness, and was even mixed with commitment and doting look.
He must be thinking of the most important person in his life.
All the servants in Changde Palace has already been turned into confidants by Yuwen Yin, so, no one would make idle chatter about their master’s matter. Therefore, they withdrew and pretended not to have seen this.
Because of this, Shen Tong was able to have a comfortable life of eating and drinking beside Yuwen Yin.
Shen Tong passed through the days by practicing cultivation through basking under the sun and sleeping in, in addition to absorbing the monarch’s purple cloud, auspicious white light, and ill-fortune, as well as occasionally transforming into his human form to eat various kind of delicacies. Two years passed by in a blink of an eye, this kind of life was simply so ideal for the fat quilt that disliked moving.
But Yuwen Yin felt sorry towards his little quilt deep down. The other party shouldn’t have been walled in by him inside this very small Changde Palace. He could tell from the little quilt’s words and behavior that he had been to many places before. He also held a lot of knowledge, and could even teach and help him in certain instances. Moreover, the little quilt was already able to freely transform into his human form, and was capable of leaving at anytime, but it was still impossible for him to let go of it.
He was aware of his selfishness and unpleasantness, just like that time when he picked up that little sparrow with wounded wings during childhood. Yuwen Zhengyang could have all the beautiful and smart parrots and myna birds. But as for him, just having that ordinary little sparrow had already made him happy. He wanted to keep it, so he still kept it in the cage even though it was already able to fly, and was unwilling to set it free. But birds belonged to the wild, especially the wild sparrow that was unwilling to be caged, so that little bird eventually died without a way out.
Moreover, what he thought of doing at this moment was no different from that year. He wants to make the little quilt stay by his side forever, even if he had to snap it’s wings off, in order to never let the other leave him.
Besides, his little quilt and that sparrow were completely beyond comparison. The little sparrow was just a novel playmate he wanted when he was a child, but Shen Tong was the one and only lover he treasures in his lifetime.
Life is very long, and love doesn’t mean everything in life. But Shen Tong means everything to him. The other party was not just his lover, but also his friend, family and salvation.
So, Shen Tong soon discovered that the way Yuwen Yin looked at him became more and more strange. His affectionate gaze was intermixed with guilt and pity, along with many other indescribable and complex feelings, which inexplicably made Shen Tong feel somewhat unnerved.
— Who knows what Yuwen Yin’s brain is imagining again this time? It seems that Han Ying is the king of overactive imagination in every world.
In just two years, Yuwen Yin has already won the trust of Emperor Qing, and was recommended by Wei Song to join the court because of honoring the teacher and respecting his teaching when he reached 15 years old. In contrast to this, Yuwen Zhengyang’s character still remained rude and arrogant, without any genuine talent. Moreover, the halo of being the son of the main wife in Qi Wang’s mansion was also slightly snatched away by Yuwen Ze, the child borne by Madam Zheng.
However, just as spring had arrived, a major event happened in the royal court. The news that had just been received this morning revealed that a plague had suddenly broke out in the Jiangzhou territory, 800 miles away.
It originated from Liu village in the Jiangzhou territory. At the beginning, only a few elderly people and children fell ill, so no one thought that this was a plague. However, the appearance of the dead disease-ridden people looked quite horrifying. The white layer of their eyes turned black, with froths coming out their mouths and scary bulging blue veins. Moreover, the stench coming from the dead bodies was exceptionally foul as well. Just before the corpses were buried, a large number of people suddenly collapsed. The diagnosed disease was exactly the same as the previous batch, which spread even faster than predicted.
Even in the modern age society, once some kind of infectious disease starts to spread in some remote and backwater places, there will also be quite a lot of deaths. Not to mention in the ancient times, when the medical setup and technology level were primitive.
