They say it's sick

Chapter 49

There has always been a consensus in the Huai'an palace, that is, the prince may not listen to what the prince says, but he must not disobey the steward. Although Li Yan entered the mansion late, he is deeply concerned about this point.

Before Xiao Luo spoke, Li Yan stayed in the mansion obediently and waited for the imperial doctor to come, and accompanied Xiao Duo by the way.

Of course Xiao Duo didn't really need this company.

In the past days, he was either in the army or in the imperial court. After returning home, he was also very busy. He had to deal with various affairs. He spent all day in the study with Li Yan. Study with Xiao Luo.

Right now, it's rare to have a few days of free time by recuperating, and I hope to do something with Xiao Luo——

However, in the Huai'an Palace, even the King of Huai'an himself cannot disobey the steward, especially when the steward wants to take a nap.

So on a good afternoon, the two people who don't like to take a nap get together again out of boredom.

In the past few days recuperating in the mansion, Xiao Duo has already tossed out a lot of tricks, whether it is playing chess or fishing, he is a little tired, and he doesn't know what to do in front of Li Yan in the hot weather.

Li Yanben was not a restless person either, he sat with Xiao Duo staring at each other for a while, and casually picked up a half-read book from the desk.

Xiao Duo had nothing to do, seeing that he was enjoying reading it, he also picked up the book casually, only flipped through two pages, then frowned, and couldn't help saying: "You can read such a boring thing."

Li Yan raised his eyes from the book and looked at Xiao Duo's hand. It was the "University" he had read on the way up the mountain. After a moment of silence, he looked back and read the book while replying: "Now I believe in stewardship." Said that you were ignorant when you were a child."

"At that time, I only wanted to travel the rivers and lakes, as long as I knew a few words and could write letters to the mansion, it was enough for me to read poems, books and classics, and useless things, and it would be a waste of time to practice martial arts..." When talking about the events of the past, Xiao Duo laughed, "However, I made up for the laziness I stole back then. When I first arrived at Suwei, I didn't even read the complete Art of War, and those people in the court who opened and shut their mouths would quote scriptures and speak sour words." When dealing with veterans, they often couldn’t even understand what they meant. Therefore, it took a lot of effort to pick up from the "Thousand Characters" read by children and read it one by one."

After speaking, he shook the book in his hand: "Although it is much better now than it was then, I still have to say that these things are really boring."

"It's a bit boring, but it's not useless..." Li Yan thought for a while, then touched the book from the side, "Why don't you read this?"

"Forget it, I feel dizzy after just one more look, I might as well go out and catch some fish..." Xiao Duo dropped the book in his hand, and looked up at Li Yan, "You too, you are always bored when you are free. Reading in the room, can't you do something suitable for your age?"

"What is suitable for your age?" Li Yan looked at him strangely, "Like that young master of Zheng's family who took a few strong young servants to wander around the city? If I did that, the steward would definitely think I was crazy If there is a problem, drive me out of the house immediately."

"It doesn't have to be so extreme, just don't lock yourself up in the room all day..." Xiao Duo may have been too idle, so he simply sat down in front of Li Yan, "That Yun Zhi also practiced martial arts since childhood, and is very active. People can't stand you being so boring all day long."

"He's not the same as the prince, he..." Halfway through speaking, Li Yan suddenly raised his head to look at Xiao Duo, "Why do you speak every time you mention Yunzhi, as if he and I are in the relationship between you and the steward? "

Xiao Duo also looked at him: "Aren't you?"

"I..." Li Yan lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "Of course I know it in my own mind. As for him... I don't need to know."

"You are really cowardly beyond my expectations..." Xiao Duo shrugged, "Then continue to suffocate, and see if Young Master Yun will go to your grave to tell you what's on your mind when you suffocate to death someday."

Li Yan raised his head and met Xiao Duo's eyes, opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

"I know you have been aggrieved in the past few years. Anyway, you have been in the palace for so long, so I haven't given you any confidence? I think that Yunzhi is also unscrupulous..." Xiao Duo stood up and looked condescendingly Looking at Li Yan, "Xuanzhi, life is only a few dozen years, so it's meaningless to look forward and backward."

Li Yan found Xiao Duo turned and walked out in a daze, subconsciously asked: "Where are you going?"

"Go back to the room..." Xiao Duo raised his eyebrows, "It's such a good time to sit here and watch you struggle, why not go back and take a nap with A Luo."

"It's not like you never take a nap..." Li Yan frowned, "Don't wake up the manager and implicate me later."

"I don't take a nap, so the point of the sentence just now is to accompany Ah Luo..." Xiao Duo replied with a smile, "People like you who dare not even ask, naturally don't understand."

After he finished speaking, he turned and walked out. After walking a few steps, he turned his head and said, "The imperial doctor will come in the evening. Stay in your room and don't run around."

Li Yan watched him stride away, smiled lightly, and lowered his eyes.

In fact, if you ask yourself, he is not really a person who looks forward and backward. In the past, he had no relatives and friends, no worries, dragged a sick body, did not know how long he would live, and did things without any scruples.

Until one day, Li Yan suddenly found that his monotonous life, which can be seen at a glance, suddenly began to have concerns.

Li Yan couldn't explain why the concern came about, maybe it was because of the jade hairpin on top of his head, maybe it was the sunrise and fireflies on the mountain, or maybe it was the bowl of ice cream that he hadn't eaten yet, or even the Maybe it's the fox fur that's still on the bedside...

There are always traces to follow.

Everything has already started since that day when I, covered in blood, bumped into those smiling eyes in the snow that was all over the sky, and it is not surprising that I have come to today step by step.

It is too easy to fall in love with someone like Yun Zhi.

And with concern, naturally also have scruples.

Thinking of this, Li Yan looked down at his pale hands, then let out a soft sigh, and lowered his eyes to read the book again.

Without Xiao Duo's disturbing presence, it was much quieter, and Li Yan sat in front of the desk all afternoon.It wasn't until Xiao Luo led the imperial doctor in that he closed the book and rubbed his sore eyes.

Xiao Luo's eyes swept across his face, she knew what he did this afternoon without asking, she shook her head lightly, and turned to the imperial doctor behind her: "Trouble..."

This imperial doctor can be regarded as a frequent visitor to the Huai'an palace, and under the order of Empress Xiao, he regularly visits the palace to ask for the pulse of Xiao Duo and the other two.

Since Li Jin entered the mansion, he ran even more diligently, and was even more familiar with Li Yan's room than some of the servants in the mansion.

With Xiao Luo by his side, Li Yan was always calm when he went to the doctor, even though it took a long time for the imperial doctor to diagnose the pulse, he could bear to wait calmly until the imperial doctor nodded, then retracted his arm and put down his clothes sleeve.

Xiao Luo was sitting next to him drinking tea, when he saw the imperial doctor get up, he raised his eyes and looked over: "How is it?"

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Li Yan, who never cared much about the results of the consultation, unexpectedly did not do anything else this time, but looked at the imperial doctor eagerly with his eyes open.

It was also the first time for the imperial doctor to see Li Yan's eyes full of anticipation, and he was stunned for a moment before turning to look at Xiao Luo: "Young master's wind-heat has been completely cured, he has recuperated well during this period, and his pulse condition is also better than usual. It's much calmer. But you also know that his body wants to recuperate..."

Speaking of this, he heard Li Yan, who rarely spoke during the consultation, cough lightly, and looked over strangely, "What's the matter, young master?"

"Yes..." Li Yan nodded, glanced at Xiao Luo quietly, and continued, "I want to travel far away, do you think it's okay?"

Although Li Yan was weak and sickly, he was not at the point of being bedridden, and his energy was not bad at the moment. The imperial doctor only told him to rest less from exertion, and he relaxed easily. After prescribing the prescription Then he followed the boy out of the door.

Xiao Luo sent people to the door, turned around and met Li Yan's eyes, couldn't help smiling: "Since the imperial doctor said yes, I always keep my word, you can go to Pingzhou."

A smile appeared on Li Yan's face: "Thank you steward."

After all, he is still a young man, he is obviously thin, but when he smiles, his cheeks are always a little fleshy, so Xiao Luo stretched out his hand and squeezed it unconsciously: "Then what if I say I can't go?"

Li Yan seemed to hesitate for a while, but finally said firmly: "I still want to go."

In fact, he has never been a well-behaved and obedient person. He has been in the palace for a few months, but he can be regarded as obedient to Xiao Duo and Xiao Luo. contradictory.

Xiao Luo was not angry, but laughed instead: "It would be great if you can be so firm in other matters."

Li Yan was stunned: "What's the matter?"

"I heard that you and that young master Yun..." Xiao Luo said slowly, "Still unrequited love?"

Li Yan was silent for a moment: "Why does the prince say everything?"

"The lord just told me everything..." Xiao Luo said, "He also told me, anyway, you are so unbelievable, you don't need to read Young Master Yun's post."

Li Yan's eyes widened: "What post?"

"It's nothing..." Xiao Luo took out a post from her arms, "It said that there is a cloak with you, and I want to take it back to Pingzhou in a few days, and I asked if you could send it back. There is a banquet waiting for you."

Li Yan reached out to take the post, and when he opened it, he saw Yun Zhi's handwriting. He pinched the post with an undisguised smile on his face, and then a little hesitation.

Xiao Luo took that subtle change into her eyes and raised her eyebrows: "Aren't you going?"

"Go!" Li Yan folded the post, put it back in the envelope, looked up at Xiao Luo, "I want to see him."

"Then go, there is no food for you in the house tonight..." Xiao Luo waved her hand, "The carriage is ready, pack it up and go."
