They say it's sick

Chapter 15

Li Liang is waiting outside the palace gate.

Seeing Li Yan coming out, he took two steps forward, and then noticed that there was an existence beside Li Yan that could not be ignored at all. After a moment of hesitation, he stopped and bowed his head slightly: "My lord..."

"Waiting for you? Just in time..." Xiao Duo casually glanced at Li Liang, then turned to Li Yan, "Is there any important thing left in the posthouse, let him pack it up and send it over."

"I don't have many things, I only have a bundle next to my pillow..." Li Yan said to Li Liang, "You go back and take it to Huai'an Palace."

Li Liang was startled, and looked at Li Yan with a face full of surprise.

Li Yan tilted his head, and explained very patiently: "Just now, His Majesty has ordered me to be the book of Huai'an Palace."

"Huai'an Palace?" Li Liang obviously couldn't believe it, "Why did His Majesty let you go to Huai'an Palace?"

"Then why don't you go in and ask His Majesty?" Li Yan looked at him with a smile, "By the way, the person in front of you is the real King of Huai'an."

Li Liang glanced at Xiao Duo subconsciously, his eyes shrank for a moment as they met each other, and finally nodded towards Li Yan, then turned and walked towards the carriage.

Looking at the back that was walking away, Xiao Duo's expression became playful, he turned his head and glanced at Li Yan beside him: "He still knows why, but you are calm, and you don't even ask me why I brought you Back to the palace?"

"Will the prince answer if I ask?" Li Yan shook his head, "I don't know anything about the prince now, even if you are in a good mood and give an answer, I can't believe it. Anyway, the days are still long, I think If I know something, I can see it myself."

"It seems that Li Xuan really didn't send a fool over to make up the money!" Xiao Duo laughed, and patted Li Yan's shoulder back, "Back to the mansion..."

The Huai'an Palace is very close to the imperial city, Li Yan followed Xiao Duo through a few streets, and saw the main entrance of the Palace - it was not even a long way from the gate of the palace to the Emperor Zhanghe's bedroom.

The Prince's Mansion occupies a large area, and looks magnificent from the outside, but after entering, it is discovered that the houses and buildings inside look quite old.

Although it was obvious that it had been repaired and would not affect the residence, Li Yan, who had just seen the extravagance of the Li Mansion, was somewhat unbelievable.

The look in Xiao Duo's eyes became more and more complicated.

Xiao Duo didn't notice it, or even if he did, he didn't care.

He led Li Yan all the way into the inner courtyard, where a young man was talking to a half-grown boy, when he heard footsteps, he turned his gaze, and a smile appeared on his face: "It's not that I'm going to the camp in the suburbs of Beijing today, How did you come back so early?"

After speaking, his eyes fell on Li Yan.

"Isn't it because of this kid..." Xiao Duo pressed Li Yan's shoulder and pushed him over, "Look at the arrangement, I'm going to the camp."

The man didn't ask any more questions, he responded with a smile, watched Xiao Duo leave without saying a word, and then turned around: "What's your name?"

This man is tall and slender, and his face can be called handsome. His eyes are slightly bent, and there is a slight smile on his lips. No matter how he looks at it, he seems to be a gentle and elegant young man, but he is on the white left cheek. There is a conspicuous tattoo mark on it.

Li Yan didn't know much about the laws of the current dynasty, but he had also heard that apart from the family members of the rebels and some other prisoners, tattoos were rarely used, and tattoos were rarely applied on the face...

He didn't get a reply for a while, and the man seemed a little puzzled. He tilted his head slightly and looked at Li Yan, with a gentle smile in his eyes, looking very kind.

Li Yan subdued the turmoil in his heart, and calmly replied: "Li Yan..."

"Li Yan?" The man repeated, his eyes fixed on Li Yan's face, "Did you take the words?"

Li Yan shook his head: "No..."

"Then wait for the lord to come back, let him get one for you..." The man withdrew his gaze and put his hands behind his back, "My name is Xiao Luo, and I am in charge of the palace."

After he finished speaking, he pointed in the direction: "Let's go, I'll show you where you live."

Li Yan bowed slightly, with a very submissive attitude: "Please trouble me..."

Xiao Luo glanced at him, seemed to laugh, and turned to lead the way.

The place where Li Yan lives is not far away, the yard is not big, the house is similar to other places in the palace, the exterior looks a little old, but the interior furnishings are elegant and comprehensive, faintly exuding a sense of life that has never been in Li Yan's life. Warmth never seen before.

It's nothing like the mansion of the imposing King Huai'an just now.

"This palace is regarded as an ancestral residence. It has been around for a long time. The prince grew up here since he was a child. Later, because it was left unattended for too long, it looked a little old..."

Seeing Li Yan standing at the door and not intending to go in, Xiao Luo suddenly said, "This room is the younger sister of the prince, which is the place where the current empress lived. Although it is not big, the location is very good, very close to the garden. You can go for a walk when you are free."

The current queen is the younger sister of King Huai'an?

Li Yan turned his head and smiled at Xiao Luo, and said the most sincere sentence in the whole day: "This place is very good, I don't feel old."

"As long as you like it..." Xiao Luo also laughed, "Everything in the room is fairly complete, you can tell me what is missing."

Li Yan bowed again: "Excuse me..."

Xiao Luo looked at him with a smile: "This time is it sincere?"

Li Yan: "..."

"Cough..." Xiao Luo covered her lips with her hands and coughed lightly, and stopped teasing, and changed the subject directly, "The prince is not married, and there are no female relatives in the house, so there is nothing to avoid. The people who come and go on weekdays are all officials. , Some homeless people live in the mansion just like you, so it’s okay if you want to deal with them. It’s just that most of them are from the military, and they have a straightforward and informal personality, which ordinary people may not be able to bear.”

"Speaking of informality, I also hope that in the future, I won't think that I was born in a rural area and I can't be on the stage..." Li Yan bowed slightly, "However, thank you for reminding me, sincerely."

Xiao Luo slightly raised her eyebrows, then laughed.

"Steward..." The two were talking, when a man dressed as a servant came from a distance, carrying a small bundle in his hand, "Someone sent this bundle over, saying it belonged to Mr. Li Yan."

Xiao Luo glanced at his hand, then turned to Li Yan: "Your?"

Li Yan took over the package that contained all his belongings, opened it casually, took out the short knife from the fox fur and glanced at it, then he was relieved: "Yes..."

Xiao Luo's eyes fell on the dagger, and he turned away quickly, looking around the small courtyard in front of him: "Although this courtyard is not big, it can still move around with a few people who take care of your daily life. You want to use your own people, Or find some new ones?"

"No need..." Li Yan tied the burden again, hung it on his arm, and nodded to the boy who hadn't retreated, "Help pass a message, just say that I have arrived in the capital, let him Go back and report back, I don’t need to worry about my future life and death.”

After hearing what he said, Xiao Luo looked thoughtful, then raised her lips, and nodded at her servant hesitantly: "It just so happens that the day is going to be hot, Liaobei should be cooler, go to Spread the word!"

-

The climate in northern Liaoning cannot be described as cool.

Although it has already entered spring, there is still a winter feeling that has not dissipated in the mountains and fields.When we set off from the city, it was still raining in spring, but all the way here, it turned into snow again.

However, it was somewhat warmer than before. The flying snow in the sky seemed to be full of splendor, and it quickly melted when it fell on the ground, mixing with the thawed soil. The carriage ran over it, leaving a long series of rut marks.

Yun Zhi lifted the curtain of the car, was covered by the cold wind, and couldn't help but sneezed twice. Before he could speak, Chen Jin on the side had already grabbed his wrist: "You won't catch a cold again, right?"

"I'm starting to regret taking you to the capital."

Yun Zhi flicked the fingers on her pulse, slowly put down her sleeves, and opened the curtain to look out again.

"Change the direction at the intersection ahead..." Yun Zhi finally put down the curtain after seeing the snow for a while, "I want to say goodbye to big brother."

Chen Jin originally wanted to say that he might not be able to make it to the post station before dark, but when the words came to his lips, he said, "Okay..."

He also felt that Yunzhi should say goodbye.

On the day of Yunji's burial, Yunzhi was still burning, and he didn't even get out of the bed, let alone go to the funeral.After that, there was a long period of recuperation. After recovering from the illness, he decided to go to the capital. Things were trivial and numerous, and he didn't have much free time until today.

Of course, most of the time, Chen Jin felt that Yun Zhi didn't want to face it subconsciously, so he never asked about it.

But Yunzhi is Yunzhi after all, even though it hurts her heart, she never escapes.

After getting it, he ordered the carriage to turn around at the intersection and drive into the path between the mountains and forests.

The Yun family has been stationed in Youzhou for generations, and the ancestors chose a beautiful place surrounded by mountains and rivers as their final resting place.

When Yun Zhi followed his father and brother to pay respects in the early years, he was amazed by the scenery here, and felt that the ancestors had a lot of foresight, but when he came back today, he felt mixed feelings.

He thought it would be many years before he and his elder brother would be buried here.

Just like he once thought that although there was a brief separation, there will be a time to meet each other.

When the carriage stopped, Yun Zhi took a deep breath, and was about to get up and get out of the carriage when an oiled paper umbrella was handed over to her.

Chen Jin leaned against the wall of the car, and raised his chin at him: "Take it, it's in the wilderness, it's not convenient to change clothes when it gets wet."

"It's getting more and more verbose..." Yun Zhi sniffled and took the paper umbrella, "Wait for me in the car."

Due to the Yun family's family education, it would not be too extravagant in a place like the mausoleum.So even though the ancestors were buried in the mountain in front of them for several generations, there were no conspicuous buildings that could represent the Yun family.

Previously, Yunzhi missed the New Year's ancestor worship because of his illness, but today it was a temporary idea, and he didn't prepare sacrifices in advance, so he could only worship empty-handed all the way, and finally came to a mausoleum that was still new.

This is a double tomb, and there is still an empty tomb underground, and there is even an empty place on the tombstone—this is Wang Hanning's instruction, and it should also be the wish of Yunji, who was buried underground first.

Yun Zhi took out a brocade handkerchief from his bosom, gently brushed off the dust on the tombstone, half-kneeled in front of the tomb, and stared intently at Yunji's name on the tombstone.

"Brother..." Yun Zhi carefully folded the dirty brocade handkerchief and put it in his sleeve, "I'm leaving for the capital today, and I'll drop by to say goodbye to you."

"Actually, I should make a promise to you. For example, I will guard the Yun family well, take good care of sister-in-law and Shu'er, and kill everyone who killed you..."

Yun Zhi said slowly, "But it's not necessary to think about it carefully. After all, the things I do are all because I want to do them."

In this short period of time, a lot of snow fell on the tombstone, and it melted quickly, leaving only a little mottled water stains. Yun Zhi looked at it quietly, but didn't wipe it again.

"It's getting late, I'm leaving..." After a while, he bowed deeply towards the mausoleum, "I don't know how long I will stay in the capital this time, but I will definitely come to see you again."

The flying snow in the sky gradually stopped, except for the branches and leaves of the trees that were not completely melted, there were no unnecessary traces. Yun Zhi put away her umbrella and walked slowly along the muddy path to the carriage. The curtain of the carriage was lifted early, and Chen Jin poked his head out: "It's not that you have an umbrella, why are you still wet?"

"It's a good thing you weren't allowed in just now..." Yun Zhi threw the umbrella into his arms, "Talking so much has disturbed the peace of elder brother and ancestor."

Chen Jin took the umbrella, and glanced across his face, obviously nothing changed, but he suddenly felt relieved: "Come up first and take off the wet robe before running on me!"

Yun Zhi glared at him, but couldn't help laughing.

He looked back at the forest behind him: "I don't know if we can still see such snow in the capital."

After speaking, he seemed to feel that these words were a bit hypocritical, shook his head with a smile, and got into the carriage neatly.

The carriage started slowly, ran over the muddy mountain road, and wobbled along the official road.
