Chapter 23
Chapter 23
Zhao Li led Yunzhi all the way outside.
Compared with when they came, the two walked much slower, and Yun Zhi also had time to look around at the scenery.
The majesty of the imperial city is almost as expected. There are countless Gui Dian Lan Palaces, each with its own momentum like a rainbow, but it is unexpectedly deserted. All the way forward along the long alleyway, even the palace people have not met several.
Zhao Li seemed to be aware of Yun Zhi's doubts, so he slowed down and explained: "Your Majesty always likes to be quiet and dislikes extravagance. In addition, he has a deep relationship with the empress, and there are no other concubines. After ascending the throne, the harem was reduced. So Right now, everyone in the palace is performing their duties, and there is no one more idle."
"So it's like this..." Yun Zhi suddenly realized, and couldn't help turning her head to look at Zhao Li, "It sounds like the internal officer has been with His Majesty for a long time?"
"As early as when Your Majesty was still a prince living in the palace, our family has been by your side to serve you. Later, when the late Emperor ascended the throne and proclaimed Your Majesty King Rui, and bestowed him with a mansion, our family has also been by Your Majesty's side..." Zhao Li said a little With emotion, "It's been 20 years now."
"Then..." Yun Zhi immediately asked, "When my eldest brother was serving as a student, were all the internal officials also by his side?"
"Of course I'm here..." After Zhao Li said this, he caught a glimpse of Yun Zhi's obviously sad expression, and couldn't help sighing, "In the past three years, every time Mr. Yun entered the palace, our family picked him up. Although There is not much communication, but Mr. Yun has a noble character and treats people with gentleness and courtesy, which is really rare in this court. So hearing the bad news that day not only made the Holy Majesty sad, but our family also felt extremely sorry!"
"Actually, I still can't figure out why this kind of thing happened to my elder brother..."
Yun Zhi lowered her head and looked at the bluestone brick road under her feet, walked a few steps forward in silence, and then said, "I originally wanted to go to Pingzhou to pick him up that day, but I never thought of it..."
As he spoke, the circles of his eyes slowly turned red, "My elder brother, who is usually such a decent person, died on the snow field covered in blood, every time I think of that scene, I hate myself for letting those bandits die It was too easy, I should have tied them to the city gate of Pingzhou and cut them to pieces!"
"Every time your majesty brings up this matter, he is as sad as the young master..." Zhao Lidao, "before leaving the capital, he still talked at night by candlelight, and when he got the news again, it was forever. His majesty has been regretting this period of time. Send more guards to escort Master Yun back to his hometown, so that even if we run into these bandits, we won't be..."
After saying this, he glanced at Yun Zhi's face, and added in a low voice: "Young Master should also feel that in the past two days, although His Majesty cares about and is close to you, but..."
"Your Majesty..." Yun Zhi rubbed his nose and said softly, "My eldest brother returned home for private reasons, and it shouldn't be too publicized. Few people in the whole court should know about it. If there are too many The guards, on the contrary, are eye-catching... No one expected to bump into this group of bandits, so it can only be said that my elder brother is unlucky, no wonder Your Majesty."
"Hey! That is to say, in fact, the guards arranged by His Majesty are also highly skilled in martial arts. Several of them have been with His Majesty since they were still in the palace. Who would have thought that the bandits in this barren mountain would be so powerful... ..." Zhao Li shook his head lightly, "Anyway, the young master beheaded those bandits with his own hands, whether it's Master Yun's spirit in the sky, or His Majesty, it's a consolation."
"Those guards..."
Yun Zhi raised his head to look at Zhao Li, but the other party mistook his gaze, and said to himself, "Young master, don't worry, the coffins of the guards have been transported back to the capital for safety, and the Holy Majesty has personally issued a decree to appease them. family."
Yun Zhi stared blankly at Zhao Li for a while, and finally said: "Then I can rest assured."
Zhao Li glanced at him with a smile, and turned his breath: "The front is the imperial garden, and the scenery is not bad..." Having said this, he suddenly raised his voice, "Which one who is not winking brought His Royal Highness to the lotus pond to play?" !"
"Zhao Li, don't be so nervous." A gentle female voice came from the pavilion beside the lotus pond.
Yun Zhi looked over and saw Empress Xiao in a light yellow skirt from a distance, and immediately bowed to salute.
"Young Master Yun, you don't need to be too polite..." Empress Xiao responded, and turned her gaze to Zhao Li, "The weather will be fine, and it will be cooler by the lotus pond. I will bring Yin'er out to get some air."
Zhao Li bowed: "The servant is rude, I hope the empress will not blame me!"
"You are worried about Yin'er, how can I blame you..." Empress Xiao stood on the stone steps of the pavilion, looking at the lotus pond with a smile. Li, "When Yin'er was born, he was weak and ill for a while, but in the past two years, he has been cured after being treated by the imperial doctor. You are the same as the Holy One, but you are too careful. The child grows bigger and bigger, so you can't keep it around forever." In the dormitory, you should come out to get some fresh air and bask in the sun."
"Your Majesty is talking about..." Zhao Li responded, "It is true that His Majesty and servants were terribly frightened when His Highness the Crown Prince fell ill. Now that I think about it, I still feel scared."
"The Holy Majesty was really terrified, and now he has to ask the imperial doctor to go over and take Yin'er's pulse every three days..."
Empress Xiao shook her head with a smile, her eyes fell on Yun Zhi who was standing aside with her head bowed, "I still want to chat with you for a while, and you are leaving the palace so soon?"
Yun Zhi replied, "Yes, ma'am."
"Probably seeing you, the Holy Majesty will inevitably think of your elder brother..." Empress Xiao stared at his face, and finally sighed softly: "Forget it, it's going to heat up soon, so go back early."
Yun Zhi and Zhao Li bowed out one after another, and continued walking along the path beside the lotus pond.
Zhao Li sent Yun Zhi all the way to the gate of the imperial city, and watched Yun Zhi go out of the city gate, and then walked back as if some wish had been fulfilled.
Standing outside the city gate, Yun Zhi watched the figure go further and further away, until the city gate closed, then shook his head with a half-smile, turned around and looked at the streets and alleys not far away.
The capital city has a long history. It was built by Emperor Gaozu of the previous dynasty after he ascended the throne. After hundreds of years of repairs and renovations by more than ten emperors of the two dynasties, it is now a grand scale, with wide streets and alleys, reasonable layout and regular squares.
That day when he entered the city for the first time, Yun Zhi felt something when he was in the carriage, and now standing in front of the imperial city, what he saw and heard became more intuitive.
Near noon, the sun rose high, the coolness of the morning dissipated, and the heat enveloped the earth.
Yun Zhi was not in a hurry to go home, and walked slowly along the shadow at the base of the city wall.
This street is relatively remote, and there are not many pedestrians, but it is the shortest distance from the imperial city to the residence.
Every day, Yunji goes all the way from here to the deep palace, and then returns back the same way to go home leisurely.
Three years, more than 900 days, many things should have happened on this road, leaving many memories for Yunji.
But at this moment, Yunzhi couldn't find any trace of Yunji's past on this road.
When a person is still alive, no matter how powerful and famous he is, the traces of his existence will fade away little by little until the day when the oil is exhausted and the lamps dry up.
But it doesn't matter, as long as I am still alive, I will always remember.
Yun Zhi shook her head, dispelling the thoughts that would bring her down.
He was precocious, open-minded by nature, and could see everything clearly, but only this time, he couldn't understand life and death, and he was always brooding over Yunji's death.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, it's not a bad thing.
In life, there is nothing that must be done, and there are very few things that cannot be done.
If you can't understand life and death, you don't do it, and you dig out the real culprits behind the scenes one by one.
No matter what happens in the future, at least right now, this is what I want to do most.
The situation in the capital was not too different from what was expected. Whether it was the Huai'an Palace covering the sky with one hand, or Zhang Hedi, who seemed calm and obsessed with calligraphy and painting, they were not simple people.
It's as if a layer of tulle is covered in front of my eyes, and everything I see is a blurry piece, as if I have seen the truth, but it seems that there is something separated, and I can't see it clearly.
But Yun Zhi is not in a hurry, there will always be a day when the clouds will be cleared and the truth will be revealed.
While thinking wildly, a loud noise suddenly came from the empty and quiet back alley.
It seemed that a group of people were chasing someone, and there were all kinds of shouting and cursing.
Yun Zhi listened attentively, and could tell that the sound was getting closer and closer. She stepped a little faster, and just rounded the corner in front, a thin figure rushed over in a daze.
With Yunzhi's skill, she was able to get out of the way when this person bumped into her in time, but the opponent would fall directly to the ground because she couldn't hold back her momentum.
So Yun Zhi only took a step to the side, and at the same time reached out to grab the man's arm, stopping his fall.
Then he met a pair of familiar eyes and couldn't help but startled: "Why are you?"
Li Yan was also obviously taken aback, he barely stood still, took a few breaths, and then replied: "Why did you bump into this kind of scene again?" "This kind of scene?" Yun Zhi raised his eyes slightly.
There was an extra wound on Li Yan's forehead, it didn't look deep, but it bled a lot, so that the originally fair face was now stained with blood again.
It is indeed very similar to the scene of the first meeting.
"Meet bandits again?" Yun Zhi asked.
"A bandit?" Li Yan pressed his cuff on the wound, looked back, with a smile on his lips, "Almost!"
The few people who were chasing him all the way rounded the street corner, they probably didn't expect that there were other people around, and couldn't tell who this person was for a while, so they stopped a few feet away.
The leader was a young man from a wealthy family, dressed luxuriously, and not too old, probably not more than 15 years old.
He was surrounded by several tall and burly servants, each holding a wooden stick with the thickness of a finger.
It looks like a bluff, but it’s just someone who is strong on the outside and doing things in the middle. After running for a similar distance, Li Yan, who is frail and sick, can still hold on for a while. gas.
Judging by this posture, Li Yan shouldn't be in danger if he ran for a while, and these few might die on the spot.
Yun Zhi also looked over, his eyes flicked over the faces of several people, and finally stopped on the young man: "The customs and customs in the capital are really different, and the children are all out to be bandits?"
The boy was still a little hesitant because of this unknown person who appeared out of nowhere, but when he heard this, he immediately exploded: "Where did you appear again?"
As he spoke, he pointed to a few servants: "Quick, go up, and even clean up this nosy fellow!"
Several servants looked at Yun Zhi who was a few steps away.
Because she was about to enter the palace, Yun Zhi didn't wear a sword, and she didn't wear the small-sleeved gown that she usually liked. He looks more pampered than his young master who hasn't grown up yet.
So without any hesitation, several servants rushed over together in a tacit understanding.
Then they poured one by one into one piece.
Only the young man was left standing there with a disbelief on his face.
Li Yan was also surprised for a moment.
This is the first time he has seen Yun Zhi fight with his own eyes. Although he knew that the young master of Zhenyuan Hou's mansion, who was young and decisive in martial arts, would not be able to deal with such a few rascals, he did not expect it to be so effortless——
He didn't even move his feet, and stood firmly half a step away from him, as if he only raised his hand.
After all, he was the guy who could bravely break into the den of thieves alone and bring back more than a dozen heads.
Probably because he finally sensed the killing aura in Yunzhi's body that was different from ordinary people, the young man turned around and ran back without even thinking about it after being stunned.
The next moment, I heard a laughing voice behind me.
"I advise you to stop..." Li Yan shook the stone he picked up from nowhere in his hand, "Unless you can run out of this street in an instant, otherwise he can use this stone to interrupt you legs!"
Seeing the young man subconsciously looking over, he added leisurely: "If you don't believe me, you can ask him!"
Yun Zhi crossed her arms and glanced at Li Yan with a half-smile.
Li Yan didn't feel the slightest bit of guilt for his act of pretending to be a tiger, and even handed over the stone in his hand, with a smile on his face: "Right?"
Yun Zhi pursed her lips and didn't answer. She took the stone in a good mood, threw it up casually, and then caught it again.
The boy looked at the high-flying stone, his legs felt weak for no reason, and he always felt that the next moment the stone would fall on his leg and break his leg.
He licked his lips and couldn't help looking at Yunzhi's face.
He obviously doesn't look a few years older than himself, although he is a little taller.After all, he still looks like a young man, with a smile on his face and curved eyebrows. He looks kind, but he can knock down his strong servants to the ground in a blink of an eye—even now he is lying on the ground howling Call, no one can get up.
The princes and eunuchs of the aristocratic families in the capital know each other even if they don't make friends deliberately, but they have never heard of such an existence.
He hesitated for a moment, then turned his attention back to Li Yan, with a stern voice: "The surname Li, today is our personal enmity, so don't drag irrelevant people to end!"
"Irrelevant people..." Li Yan pointed to the servant on the ground, "Aren't they?"
The young man paused, and said with a stiff neck, "They are my family's servants, and they have been with me since childhood, of course they are not!"
"How do you know him..." Li Yan was halfway through the sentence, and glanced sideways at Yunzhi beside him, thinking that this image could not possibly be a servant, so he simply changed the subject, "That being said, let's chat Talk about the personal enmity you mentioned, before today, I didn't know you, what kind of personal enmity do you want to have with me?"
"yesterday, you……"
"Yesterday?" Li Yan suddenly realized, "Mr. Zheng, even if your father wants to accrue yesterday's account to me, it is my business with him. You are not a child like you. talk to me."
"What do you think you are! It's just a dog raised by the King of Huai'an!" The young man was poked in the sore spot, and his expression changed on the spot, "My father is a veteran of the two dynasties, a Jinshi and a scholar, and the Imperial Academy was awarded by the late emperor. You When father Li Xuan was in the capital, he always saw my father respectfully, how dare you treat him like that! You are, this is cruelty to Zhongliang! I am asking you to settle accounts to punish rape and eliminate evil, and to do justice for the heavens!"
The more the young man spoke, the more confident he became, as if he had forgotten his fear of Yun Zhi.Not only did he raise his voice, he even took two steps forward, facing Li Yan face to face: "Don't think that you have someone to help you now, there will always be a time when you place another order, and one day I will settle the account with you! "
The young man felt that he was scolding heartily and vigorously, but Li Yan didn't take it seriously at all, and even raised his lips and laughed.
"It's hard to say whether I will be alone in the future..." He reached behind his waist and took out the dagger that was shining with cold light, "Right now, you are alone!"
The young man stared at the dagger, subconsciously took two steps back: "Li, if you dare to touch me, believe it or not, our Zheng family will never end with you!"
"Why didn't it end?" Li Yan asked with a smile, "You have a son at a young age? Then when you ask him to come out to block me, bring a few powerful ones, at least run faster."
As he spoke, he followed two steps forward, and gently patted the young man's face with the thin blade: "This knife has been stained with the blood of two people, one is a beast that is not as good as a beast, and the other is Your father, it's just right to add you right now."
The boy widened his eyes and stared straight at the blade on his face, as if he had already felt the pain of the blood gushing out from the cut on his skin, he cried out with a "wow".
Li Yan: "..."
He immediately withdrew his hand, and when he saw that the tears hadn't flowed onto his knife, he let go, and casually inserted the knife back into his waist.
But the young man was probably stupefied by fright, and he still stood there and howled, tears and snot pouring down his face, and he was a little more pitiful in his embarrassment.
Li Yan was silent for a moment.
He didn't intend to have the same experience with such an immature brat, and he really just wanted to scare him.But it is somewhat unexpected that such a few words can scare people like this.
And somewhat noisy.
Li Yan thought for a while, then turned to look at Yun Zhi who had been standing quietly by the side watching the play.
Yun Zhi raised her eyes and met his eyes, with a pair of bright eyes full of confusion: "What?"
"You don't think it's dirty?" Li Yan pointed at the young man's face, "No matter how bad it is, you should think it's noisy, right?"
"It can be tolerated..." Yun Zhi tilted his head, "And I want to see how long he can last."
Li Yan: "..."
He didn't really want to see it.
Obviously, Yun Zhi couldn't count on it, he thought for a while, raised his foot and kicked a nearby boy who was still wailing on the ground: "It's almost over, take your young man who hasn't been weaned and get out early, otherwise I won't Guaranteed, I will not regret it."
As soon as the voice fell, several servants got up from the ground and surrounded the young man: "Young master, let's go!"
The boy sobbed twice, and wiped his face indiscriminately, the tears hadn't completely stopped, and he had been pulled out several feet.
"Wait a minute..." Yun Zhi said suddenly, "In the current situation, should I decide whether you can leave?"
All the servants stopped in their tracks, not even daring to turn around.
Compared with their own son, they really felt how terrifying this man was.
The young man barely stopped crying, turned around with sobs, "Young master, I have no grudge against you, and you beat my servant too, what else do you want?"
"I beat you, boy, because they wanted to fight with me..." Yun Zhi pointed to Li Yan who was beside him, "His forehead is so injured, so we can't let it go?"
"His forehead..."
The young man subconsciously wanted to refute, but Yun Zhi interrupted him as soon as he opened his mouth. He took a few steps forward, pushed aside a few servants who stood in front of him, and stood in front of the young man: "I don't need you to get bloody too, just let me I flick it lightly at the same position, and today's business is over, how about it?"
The boy hesitated for a moment, and finally compromised: "Only play once?"
"Only play once." Yunzhi confirmed.
The boy took a deep breath, then closed his eyes tightly: "Play it!"
Yun Zhi turned her head and glanced at Li Yan's face, at the same time she bent her fingers and flicked towards the young man's forehead.
The next moment, screams resounded through the empty streets.
"Okay..." Yun Zhi said lightly, "You can go."
A few servants supported the young man who was crying again and ran to the other side of the street in a hurry. Yun Zhi smiled, turned around and was about to talk to Li Yan, when a brocade handkerchief was handed to him.
Li Yan looked at his hands: "Wipe your hands?"
Yun Zhi stared at Fang Jinpa, and couldn't help but look at Li Yan's cuff which had just been wiped with blood.
"I just forgot..." Li Yan held up the brocade handkerchief, "This brocade handkerchief is clean."
Yun Zhi laughed, took the brocade handkerchief and wiped off the non-existent sweat on her forehead, then lowered her head and wiped her fingers carefully.
Li Yan stared at his movements, and suddenly said: "Hands are really heavy, that kid's forehead is blue, and I'm afraid he won't get better in a few days. Unfortunately, I thought you looked at him poorly, so I deliberately gave him a step."
"He and I don't know each other, so why give him a step? If you say it's pitiful, you're more pitiful with blood on your face, right?" Yun Zhi wiped her hand, holding the brocade handkerchief, but didn't throw it away. If you don’t suffer, you won’t see people you know suffer.”
Hearing these words, Li Yan slightly opened his eyes wide, followed by a soft smile.
Hearing his laughter, Yun Zhi raised her eyebrows and looked up at Li Yan's face.
Although the wound had stopped bleeding, the dried blood was mottled on his face, which looked horrible and embarrassing.
Yun Zhi snorted softly: "After you arrived in the capital, you changed your temper. After being beaten like this on the head, you just let him go after a few words of scaring?"
"Because strictly speaking..." Li Yan touched his nose and coughed lightly, "This injury really has nothing to do with him. I was accidentally cut by a tree branch by the side of the road when I was running."
Yun Zhi paused for a moment, then stretched out his hand to scratch the wound and took a closer look—just now, the wound was covered with too much blood, but now the bleeding has gradually stopped, and Li Yan rubbed it carelessly again, which can be seen The original face of the wound.
It is indeed left behind.
Yunzhi: "..."
It was rare for Li Yan to see this expression on Yunzhi's face, and he couldn't help laughing: "What should I do, Mr. Yun, this time you have made a relationship with the Zheng family."
"The Zheng family?" Yun Zhi looked up at Li Yan with a thoughtful expression.
"It's the Zheng family you're thinking of..." Li Yan nodded, "Although many Zheng family members have been implicated in the case of the first prince, most of them are from Zheng Lian's line. It survived. You also know that the Zheng family has gone through two dynasties and generations of aristocratic families... the centipede is dead but not stiff."
"No wonder..." Yunzhi nodded, and turned his gaze to Li Yan, "A son of Xiuzhuan, a sixth-rank Hanlin, dared to surround the master of Huai'an Palace in the street."
"Siege in the street? Then you think highly of him..." Li Yan shook his head, "These little trash raised by the aristocratic family are the most bullying and fearful. Although they hate the prince, they dare not go to the gate of the palace to provoke them. .
He only dared to choose such a remote street, thinking that he could secretly teach me a lesson, and even if I wanted to pursue it afterwards, he could deny it.
If the palace insists on pursuing the investigation, it can also be excused that the child is ignorant, and the emperor is pushed out to beg for mercy, and the family takes him back and pretends to punish him, and nothing will happen. "
"Children are ignorant?"
Speaking of it, that Young Master Zheng just now is not a year or two younger than Li Yan.
Yun Zhi sneered: "He doesn't look like a child, does he have a brain?"
Li Yan was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help laughing, and after a while, he stopped laughing and shook his head lightly: "No matter what, today is thanks to you."
Yun Zhi didn't shirk from him, but instead asked, "Then how are you going to thank me?"
"Yesterday, for the prince's birthday, I received a few more boxes of good tea..." I have long been accustomed to the directness and frankness of young master Yun, Li Yan was still taken aback, and after thinking for a while, he said, "If you are free now, I will come to the prince's mansion. How about some tea, please?"
Yun Zhi looked into his eyes and nodded, "Okay!"
The two walked side by side along the streets and alleys, and finally stopped in front of a side door.
As Li Yan opened the door, he said to Yun Zhi: "This is closer to my yard, so I usually go out from here when I don't ride in carriages. That brat from the Zheng family heard about it from somewhere, and brought a Then a few trashes made a special trip to wait at the entrance of the alley in front, wanting to avenge his father."
"It seems that Young Master Zheng is not really brainless."
Yun Zhi laughed, followed Li Yan into the door, walked a few steps, and saw the pavilion where they drank tea together the day before yesterday.
It may be because the sky has cleared up, but one day, the scenery in front of me will bloom with a different style.
Li Yan also glanced at the pavilion, then looked down at himself, seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then said: "Go and sit in my room for a while?"
Seeing Yunzhi looked over in confusion, he tugged at his cuffs: "I want to change clothes, so it's not easy to let you sit here by yourself?"
"Okay..." Yun Zhi glanced at his forehead, "You should also put some medicine on this wound."
Li Yan's yard is very close to the garden, almost turning the gravel path and seeing the gate of the yard.
Li Yan opened the door a few steps ahead, and let people all the way into the room. He hesitated for a moment after seeing Yun Zhi enter the door, and then took a look with his head, and then realized: "I have something to go out this morning, and I have nothing to do. It's time to clean up, don't mind."
"I don't mind..." Yunzhi looked at the books scattered around the desk, and smiled slightly, "There is also a kind of deja vu familiarity."
Li Yan was lowering his head to pick up a book at his feet, when he heard the words, he turned around: "What?"
"It's okay..." Yun Zhi lowered her eyes, with a slight smile on her lips, "Do you want to treat the wound first?"
Li Yan threw the book he picked up on the desk, and pointed to the armchair beside him: "Then sit down for a while."
After saying that, he went out, and when he came back, he had a mahogany brocade box in his hand.
Li Yan went to the bronze mirror to look at his forehead, then lowered his head and rummaged in the brocade box for a while, took out a small bottle, opened the lid and poured it on his head.
The next moment, the medicine bottle fell into the other hand.
Li Yan's face was full of astonishment: "You..."
"do not move……"
Yun Zhi pushed the man to sit on the chair, supported Li Yan's shoulder with one hand, and carefully wiped the dried blood on Li Yan's face with the handkerchief soaked in water with the other hand.
The wound on the forehead was not serious after all, and the bleeding was limited, so the blood was quickly wiped off, revealing Li Yan's entire face.
Yun Zhi froze for a moment.
He always knew that Li Yan was pretty, but it was the first time to see him from such a close distance.
His fair face, delicate facial features, slightly long eyelashes that trembled slightly, and those eyes that reflected his own reflection all made him fall into a trance.
Li Yan didn't notice Yun Zhi's mood at all, his attention was all on the hand pressing his shoulder.
In the summer, the clothes are thin, and the other party's body temperature spreads along the palm of his hand.
This feeling seemed familiar, like the lingering burning sensation from the wrist pinched by this man in front of the burning house that day.
Li Yan couldn't help coughing lightly: "Okay?"
"immediately……"
Yun Zhi slowly let go of the hand that was on Li Yan's shoulder, turned her head to look at the brocade box at hand, found a piece of cloth for dressing, opened the medicine bottle just now, sniffed it lightly, and confirmed that it was After taking medicine for the wound, he poured the powder on the cloth, and then carefully covered Li Yan's wound.
"It's all right now..." Yun Zhi wrapped the cloth around Li Yan's head a few times and tied it in a knot, "Your wound is not deep, and the golden sore medicine is very good, take it off tomorrow and change the medicine again. gone."
Li Yan looked at his tightly wrapped forehead from the bronze mirror: "Have you always been injured before?"
"Isn't it inevitable to be injured when marching and fighting?" Yun Zhi turned around and sat down on the armchair. "After every battle, the military doctor is very busy. There is no need to bother him with some insignificant flesh and blood injuries. You can deal with them yourself. of."
Li Yan turned to look at him: "When we met for the first time, I thought you were a spoiled young master in some mansion, who couldn't be hurt, suffered, or dirty."
"Actually, you're right..." Yun Zhi smiled, "I was really spoiled and raised, and it's true, I can't see being dirty."
As he spoke, his eyes fell on Li Yan's sleeve.
Li Yan shook his head with a smile, and almost at the same time, someone knocked on the door: "My lord, I'll bring you water."
Li Yan got up and went to open the door. After the young servant entered the door with a water basin, he found that there was another person in the room who was obviously taken aback, and subconsciously looked at Li Yan.
Li Yan also took a look at Yun Zhi, and pointed to the screen inside: "Put it in the back for me."
The boy left in a hurry after releasing the water, Li Yan turned around to look for a change of clothes, gestured to Yunzhi, and walked around behind the screen.
The not-so-big room suddenly fell silent, only the rustling of Li Yan taking off his clothes, followed by the sound of throwing and washing cloth towels.
Yun Zhi sat quietly on the armchair, listening to these small voices, at this moment, she felt extraordinarily peaceful in her heart.
He didn't think about the various experiences he had in the palace today, nor did he think about the ups and downs he had with that young master of the Zheng family just now, and he didn't even think about the turmoil in his heart when he changed the medicine just now.
Just sitting so quietly, my mind is blank, but it is extraordinarily leisurely and relaxed.
Until the knock on the door interrupted the leisure.
Li Yan hurriedly poked his head out from behind the screen: "What's the matter?"
"My lord, the lord has returned to the mansion and told you to come over later." The servant outside the door replied.
Li Yan hesitated for a moment: "Tell the prince that I have a guest, and I will go there later."
The servant got the order and left in a hurry.
"Aren't you afraid that something urgent will be delayed?"
Yun Zhi raised her head and looked at the person halfway out from behind the screen.
After running for too long just now, Li Yan's body was covered with a lot of sweat. After scrubbing with a damp cloth, he only put on a middle coat, and before he could tie it up, most of his body was exposed. But still eye-catching scars.
"My lord, if there is something urgent, he won't just let a servant come and pass on a word."
While answering, Li Yan tied his clothes belt, noticed Yunzhi's silence, couldn't help but raised his head, and found that the other party's eyes were on him, he also looked down, and then smiled nonchalantly: "I I told you before that setting Li Gui on fire that day instead of throwing him into the mountains to feed the wolves was considered a daily act of kindness."
After he finished speaking, he tied up his belt casually, and went to put on his outer robe behind the screen, leaving only a faint shadow printed on the screen.
Yun Zhi looked up at the figure, was silent for a while and suddenly said, "How old were you when you were sent away by the Li family?"
"Five years old, or six years old?" Li Yan's voice came from behind the screen, "It's been too long, I can't remember clearly."
Yun Zhi frowned: "Then...why did Li Xuan send you away back then?"
"Because after he raised me until I was five or six years old, he suddenly discovered that I am not the seed of their Li family."
