They say it's sick

Chapter 39

The mountain road was difficult to walk, and the carriage back to the city was the same as when it came, bumping and shaking.

Yun Zhi leaned against the wall of the car, sleeping soundly.

The day before yesterday, he kept his promise and cooked noodles for Li Yan himself. The taste was not bad, at least it was much better than the vegetarian food in the Taoist temple, but it took too long. When it was Haishi, he fell asleep in a hurry, was called up before dawn and hurried on his way, got on the carriage in a daze, said a few words to Li Yan, and then fell asleep drowsily again.

Li Yan has always slept less, since he was a child, except for being sick or suffering from lack of sleep, he rarely slept during the day, seeing Yun Zhi asleep, he took out the book and started reading.

It's just that the light inside the car was dim, and the carriage was not moving smoothly. It didn't take long before I felt dizzy and my eyes were sore. The face of another man in the carriage.

I don't know since when, his eyes will always fall on Yunzhi's face.

Just like the night before, in the dimly lit small kitchen, he was sitting on the small bench in front of the stove, looking at the person in front of the case without blinking.

In fact, he was not hungry nor did he have to eat some noodles, even because Yunzhi was too focused, the two of them didn't say a few words all night.

But just watching Yun Zhi busy, especially when the busyness is for her own sake, can convince Li Yan that she is truly living in this world.

At this moment, Yun Zhi was clearly asleep, and listening to the shallow breathing could make Li Yan feel at ease.

The carriage drove out of the mountains all the way, as if returning to the world, the heat of summer rushed over.

Yun Zhi opened her sleepy eyes, wiped her face indiscriminately, and found that in order to make herself sleep more comfortably, Li Yan made room as much as possible, although he was tall and long-legged, he only occupied a corner .

Even so, the sleeping self did not let others go, stretched out when he fell asleep, half lying on the seat, with one leg resting on Li Yan's lap very naturally.

And Li Yan didn't seem to feel it, let him sit on it, and even deliberately lowered that leg to make it more comfortable for him.

Yun Zhi coughed lightly, retracted her legs, and sat upright.

"Huh?" Li Yan was sitting on his side, his upper body was almost pressed against the wall of the car, holding a book in his hand, he was staring at it intently, when he heard the movement around him, he raised his head, "Are you awake?"

"Hmm..." Yun Zhi rubbed her ears that were inexplicably hot, and glanced at Li Yan, "Since when did you have such a good temper, I don't sleep well, why didn't you call me?"

"Why did I call you? You were fast asleep." Li Yan closed the book in his hand, and took a bright red wild fruit from the small table next to him, which was picked by Chen Jin and the others on the mountain the night before. "It's hot, eat it." a fruit."

Yun Zhi took the fruit but was not in a hurry to eat it, her eyes turned around in the carriage, and finally stayed on Li Yan's face: "It's been a long time, are you tired?"

Li Yan shook his head: "I've recovered from my illness these few days, and I don't get tired so easily."

"Are you sure?" Yun Zhi tilted her head and patted herself on the shoulder, "I was planning to borrow you as a repayment."

Li Yan stared at the location he took the picture for a while, then slowly turned his gaze to Yun Zhi's face, looking into his eyes: "Then I really rely on it?"

Yun Zhi took a bite of the fruit, her eyes were clear: "Otherwise, do you think I'm teasing you again?"

"Well……"

Li Yan laughed, and really leaned over.

Yun Zhi is a little shorter than himself, and the young man is still a little thin, so leaning up like this is not as comfortable as expected, and it is somewhat hot, but Li Yan has no intention of getting up.

The two of them were almost sitting next to each other, their body temperature spread through the thin clothes, their noses were full of the faint scent of Yun Zhi's body, mixed with the sweetness of wild fruits, and they could even hear the strong and powerful sigh of the other party's heart. heartbeat.

From now on, I have a little more memory about this person.

Thinking about it, Li Yan slowly closed his eyes.

He seemed to be asleep, but he seemed to be awake all the time.

No matter in the dream or outside the dream, there is always a noble and good-looking young man.

Because of the early departure, the carriage entered the capital shortly after noon.I am used to the quietness of the mountains, but the hustle and bustle of the city seems a bit jarring.

The coachman's voice came into the car from the commotion: "My lord, should we go back to the palace first or send off Mr. Yun first?"

Just as Yun Zhi was about to answer, the person who was leaning on him suddenly sat up.

"Send him off first..." Li Yan squeezed his forehead, his consciousness was completely clear, and he looked at the people around him, "It's hard work..."

"It's okay, except that the arms are a little numb..." Yunzhi looked down at the folds of the fabric on her shoulders, "Your sleeping position is much better than mine."

Li Yan laughed, took out a brocade handkerchief from his arms and handed it to Yunzhi: "Is it hot?"

"It's okay..." Yunzhi took the brocade handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Didn't you notice that there was no noise from Chen Jin outside? We just discussed it while you were asleep. After he entered the city Go directly to Chunfeng Building, so I will have ice cream to eat when I walk in."

Having said that, he shook his head with pity on his face: "It's a pity you can't eat it yet."

"Then you owe me one more..." Li Gu said, "When I get better, I will make it up."

"Okay..." Yunzhi responded, "When you recover, I will make it for you."

After finishing speaking, he lifted the curtain to take a look, and the carriage turned around the main street and drove towards the familiar side alley.

"I'm coming." He turned his head and looked at Li Yan.

"Hmm..." Li Yan also looked at him, "After your cloak is washed, I will send it to you."

"No hurry..." Yun Zhi said, "When you are free, come and pay it back in person."

Speaking of this, he saw Li Yan's slightly wide eyes, and added, "Finally, I can bring some new tea."

Li Yan nodded: "Okay..."

The carriage stopped at the gate of Yun Mansion for a short time, and when Yun Zhi and his huge box entered the gate, it turned around and drove back to the Wang Mansion.

Everything in the palace was as usual, except that the porter was surprised when he saw Li Yan get off the carriage: "Didn't you go to escape the summer heat, why are you back?"

"Mmm..." Li Yan responded, walked a few steps into the mansion and then stopped suddenly, "My lord..."

"My lord should be in my room..." the porter said, "The manager has spoken, and my lord will not be leaving the mansion for a few days."

After speaking, he led people to go in: "It's so hot, you better go in quickly, young master."

Li Yan glanced at him suspiciously, then turned his head to look outside the mansion, but he didn't speak any more, and went straight to Xiao Duo's room without looking back.

Sure enough, Xiao Duo was in his own room, he didn't seem to be in serious trouble, even more leisurely than usual.

He and Xiao Luo withdrew the others, opened the doors and windows wide, and each of them was shaking a fan. They were sitting at the table playing chess. On the low table next to them were half-eaten sorbet, iced melons and fruits. There is also a pot of tea.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Xiao Duo was the first to raise his head, only glanced at the door, and then looked away after seeing Li Yan: "Yesterday, I heard that the little helper Yunzhi returned to the city, so I knew you would be back today after hearing the news. No surprise. Don't worry, I'm fine, it's hot outside, you're going to be in trouble if you stand for a while."

Li Yan entered the door, walked up to them, glanced up and down Xiao Duo's body, and still found something strange——

The weather was hot and Xiao Duo only wore a single shirt, with the cuffs rolled up, just revealing the bandaged wound on his left arm.

Li Yan frowned: "Is the assassination real?"

When Xiao Duo heard this, he sneered: "What kind of assassination is that? A few people who don't know how to live or die are just causing me some trouble. The guards have arrested everyone and are currently interrogating them. If you..."

"It's your turn..." Xiao Luo, who had been looking at the chessboard, suddenly made a move, interrupting Xiao Duo's words, and then raised his eyes to look at Li Yan, "Healed?"

Li Yan originally wanted to continue to ask about the assassination, but after meeting Xiao Luo's eyes, he immediately changed his words and replied honestly: "The weather in the mountains is cool, take medicine on time every day, and you will be fine soon."

"The imperial doctor will come to take the prince's pulse in the evening..." Li Yan's complexion was indeed much better than before the trip, Xiao Luo nodded, "Let him take a look at it for you, and if it's better, I'll take care of you Fang Zi continues, let’s see if there is another way.”

Li Yan always felt that there was something wrong with Xiao Luo, so he glanced at Xiao Duo from the corner of his eye, and seeing that the other person's expression was normal, he responded: "Okay..."

"I originally wanted you to rest in the mountains until the weather cools down. Since you are all back, you can stay in the mansion honestly..." Xiao Luo picked up the tea cup and took a sip. He just ran outside."

Li Yan blinked, feeling that he shouldn't answer at this moment, he looked at Xiao Luo, hesitated for a moment, then turned his gaze to Xiao Duo.

"That's just right, Xuan Zhi came to accompany me to finish this game of chess..." Xiao Duo, who had been playing with the chess pieces, seemed to have noticed Li Yan's gaze, and opened his mouth at the right time, and then slowed down his tone when he turned to Xiao Luo, "You last night I didn’t sleep well, so I’ll go to bed again.”

Xiao Luo put down the teacup slowly, raised her head and looked at Xiao Duo.

Xiao Duo looked back with a smile on his face: "What's wrong?"

Xiao Luo shook her head: "I happen to be sleepy too, you guys continue."

Then he really got up and walked out without looking back.

Until the people had gone far away, Li Yan sat down opposite Xiao Duo, and couldn't stop looking out: "What's wrong with Guan Shi?"

"It's nothing..." Xiao Duo stared at the chessboard in front of him for a while, and then made a move, "It's just angry."

Li Yan was at a loss: "Because of those assassins?"

"Because of me..." Xiao Duo picked up the cup of tea that Xiao Luo had just drank, and took a sip, "I went to the Suwei Mansion quietly this morning while he was asleep, and wanted to see the assassins interrogate him. How about it, the wound was opened by that indiscriminate guy Gao Liang, even though it was rewrapped, it was still obvious at a glance."

Li Yan nodded knowingly: "So you were grounded?"

Xiao Duo looked up at him for a while, and finally lowered his head and knocked on the chessboard in front of him: "Play your chess."
