They say it's sick

Chapter 80

As the sky was getting brighter, there were sounds gradually in the yard. The movement was not too loud, but it was enough to wake up Yun Zhi who was always alert and had just fallen asleep.He slowly opened his eyes, stared at the top of the bed for a while, and turned his gaze to the side.

The sound of breathing by the pillow is still very even. Too much energy was consumed the night before, so it is rare for people who are used to getting up early to sleep deeply at this time.

Yun Zhi simply turned sideways and looked at the person next to the pillow without blinking.

He and Li Yan have done many things together. They understand each other and trust each other, but for the first time they realize that they can still fit together in such a way of possessing each other.

He has always been frank in this kind of thing, and never hides his desire.Although it was difficult for him who was always vigilant to show himself to another person without reservation, but when the object was Li Yan, it became very easy.

Just looking at those faintly red eyes that are trying to restrain themselves is enough to make people feel confused.

In fact, Li Yan has no experience in this kind of thing, just like every intimacy in the past, he groped and tested all by instinct.

Therefore, it was not completely smooth at first, but fortunately, one of them was gentle and patient enough, and the other was trustworthy enough.

Although they are still young, and there will inevitably be pain in the process, but in the end, only the joy of body and mind is left in my mind.

Yun Zhi's thoughts drifted a little, and when she came back to her senses, she was looking at a pair of sleepy eyes.

"Why did you wake up so early?" Li Yan stretched out his hand and pulled him into his arms, his voice was still a little hoarse because he didn't wake up, "Uncomfortable?"

"Fortunately..." The forehead felt itchy when it fell on the face, Yun Zhi simply buried her face in Li Yan's arms and rubbed it lightly, "It's just that I'm not used to it."

There is some soreness on the body, which can be ignored for those who have practiced martial arts all year round. There is some discomfort in a certain hidden position, but it is not unbearable.

Li Yan lowered his head slightly, just in time to see the faintly red ear tips protruding from the long hair of the other party, and for some reason, he remembered some scenes from the previous night, and his mouth was inexplicably dry.

Sensing the silence of the person next to the pillow, Yun Zhi was a little curious, and raised her head to look at Li Yan's face, but her movements inadvertently brought their bodies closer together, and then felt the changes in each other's body.

Yun Zhi was silent for a moment, then blinked and looked at Li Yan: "Xuan Zhi?"

Facing those extremely innocent eyes, Li Yan took a deep breath, and finally just hugged him into his arms, and put a light kiss on the hair.

Yun Zhi buried her face in Li Yan's arms, but couldn't help laughing, Li Yan had no choice but to reach out and pat him on the back.

I don't know how long it took before both of them calmed down, and the last bit of drowsiness completely dissipated. Yun Zhi poked her head out of Li Yan's arms again: "Don't sleep anymore?"

"The steward said that we are going to the palace today, and when I go back together, we will have time to sleep on the way..." Li Yan hugged the person in his arms tightly, "It's still early, you can sleep later."

"Don't sleep anymore..." Yun Zhi sat up while talking, and touched a mahogany brocade box from the end of the bed, "There is something I didn't have time to give you yesterday."

Li Yan also got up, took the brocade box and opened it, and found a psychic jade pendant inside, he couldn't help being startled: "This is..."

"You don't think that those messy little things you bought on the street yesterday are my birthday gifts for you..." Yun Zhi reached out and took out the jade pendant and put it in Li Yan's palm, "This jade pendant is said to be It was handed down from our ancestors, and my eldest brother and I are alone..."

Li Yan had also seen Yunji's jade pendant before, and knew that Yunzhi took it back from those fake thieves, and there was a very conspicuous crack on it, but he never knew that Yunzhi also had a piece.

"You also know that I have been on the school grounds for many years, and I can't wear these..." Yun Zhi said warmly, "I took it to Qingyun Temple with me yesterday, so it has been opened, so you should wear it carefully."

Li Yan slowly held the jade pendant in his palm.

This jade pendant was as precious as the jade hairpin that day, but Li Yan didn't want to refuse it.

So he nodded seriously: "Okay..."

Yun Zhi laughed, he and Li Yan used to be like this, many things never need to be said, they can understand each other's mind.

He leaned over and kissed Li Yan on the face, and then said: "I'll ask Brother Li to prepare breakfast, and you can go back after eating."

In the past, Li Yan would naturally not be serious about such trivial matters, but today is different after all, he supported Yunzhi's shoulders and asked him to lie down: "I'll go find Brother Li, and you can lie down later."

Yunzhi rolled her eyes, but she didn't refuse the care: "Then I want to eat japonica rice porridge."

Li Yan responded: "Okay..."

Although there are few people in the Yunfu, the work efficiency is very high. It didn't take long for breakfast to be prepared and sent to Yunzhi's room. The good rice porridge was served with pastries and side dishes.

Although it is a bit bland, it is just right for two people who have just woken up and have no appetite.

The two have been together for a long time, and many habits have changed.For example, Li Yan, who used to eat as if he didn't need to chew, gradually got used to eating slowly, especially when Yun Zhi was sitting next to him, he had to pick up food from each other, and chatted without saying a word while eating. I ate breakfast like this for nearly half an hour.

It is obvious that both of them want to continue to get bored, but after all, they got Xiao Luo's entrustment in advance, so it is not good to delay the schedule of the palace.

Anyway, the future is long, and they still have a future.

Although he felt a little uncomfortable, in Yun Zhi's eyes, it was not enough to be bedridden, so he insisted on changing his outer robe, and sent Li Yan to the carriage back to the palace.

The sky was gloomy, the surroundings were foggy, and the streets and alleys looked deserted and lonely after the carriage had gone away.

Yun Zhi stood at the gate of the courtyard for a while, turned around and entered, and found that Chen Jin had appeared at some time, sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard and wiping his usual long sword.

"I thought you were going to be sent all the way to the palace..." Chen Jin raised his sword, looked at it in the light of the sky, and couldn't help feeling, "The sunny day in the capital is too hard to see, looking at this posture, it's going to rain again right?"

"Yeah, the sky is about to change..." Yun Zhi looked at the sky, then looked back at Chen Jin, "Are you all ready?"

"It's already ready..." Chen Jin retracted the long sword into its sheath, but still hesitated for a moment, "I just celebrated Li Yan's birthday on the front foot, I thought you two had to get tired of it for a few days. Why is it today? "

"Your Majesty thinks this is the best time. As for me... as long as I can avenge my brother, I can do it at any time. Anyway, Xuanzhi and I have a long life..." Yunzhi lowered her eyes slightly, put her hands into her sleeves, "then clean up , let's go too."

Chen Jin got up and stretched his arms: "Deling..."

Although the palace is just outside the capital city, it takes less than half a day to go there.So Xiao Luo ordered people to prepare the chariots and horses early, and set off immediately after Li Yan returned to the palace.

Xiao Duo usually rides a horse when he travels, but when Xiao Luo is around, he always rides in a carriage together.Fortunately, the carriage of the Wangfu is spacious, and the three of them will not feel crowded.

Li Yan spent a lot of energy the night before, and he hadn't slept for more than two hours before the carriage started to feel sleepy, leaning against the corner and fell asleep drowsily.

Sleeping in a carriage is always uncomfortable. Li Ji was a light sleeper, so his sleep was even more uneasy. On the one hand, he felt that he had fallen asleep, and on the other hand, he could faintly hear the sound of the ruts outside and the deliberately lowered words of the other two. Voice.

Just like that, he fell asleep all the way half asleep, but when he opened his eyes, he hadn't arrived at the palace yet. On the contrary, the sky outside became more and more gloomy, making it impossible for people to distinguish the time at this moment.

"Are you awake?" Xiao Luo put down the little gray rabbit who had been in her arms since getting in the carriage, poured a cup of tea and handed it over, "It's rare to see you falling asleep in the carriage on weekdays, it seems that you were very tired yesterday? "

Li Yan: "Fortunately..."

It seemed to be just ordinary concern, but it inexplicably reminded Li Yan of the reason why he was "tired" the day before yesterday, his ears blushed unconsciously, and he took a few sips of tea pretending to be calm.

Xiao Duo has been lying on Xiao Luo's lap, occupying most of the space in the carriage. I don't know if it's because Li Yan is sleeping, so he finds a picture album quietly to look through.

Seeing that Li Yan was awake, he turned over and sat up. His eyes swept over his face and body, and he picked up the rabbit who was tentatively by his legs, and said casually: "It seems that I can go to Zhenyuan Hou's mansion to propose a marriage?"

Li Yan didn't expect that he suddenly opened his mouth to talk about this matter, so he was taken aback before replying: "It's not in such a hurry, the Hou's Mansion... at least wait until we return from the palace to discuss it with You Huai."

"After returning from the palace?" Xiao Duo didn't know what to think of, and nodded slightly after raising his eyebrows, "That's fine, then it's more appropriate."

Along the way, the sky was getting darker and darker. When we arrived at the palace, it was just Shen Shi, but it was almost completely dark.

There are usually people looking after the palace, and because two days earlier, the emperor and empress brought the crown prince Yuan to guide them in.

So everything has already been arranged, and Zhao Li waited outside the door early. Seeing Xiao Duo get off the carriage, he went forward to salute and say hello: "My lord, your residence has been tidied up, and it is still the place you liked before, your empress said. Let you rest for a while and have dinner together."

Xiao Duo stretched out his hand to help Xiao Luo off the carriage, and looked back at Zhao Li: "Why do you need to come over and deliver the message in person for such a trivial matter?"

Zhao Li paused for a moment, then lowered his head slightly: "How can the prince's matter be called a trivial matter."

Xiao Duo snorted with a half-smile, and glanced up and down Zhao Li's body, only to see that his whole body tensed up unconsciously, and then lazily replied: "I see, you should have served earlier too." Well, I see it will rain soon."

Zhao Li bowed: "Thank you for reminding me, my lord."

Xiao Duo smiled lightly, ignored him, turned around and walked straight to the residence.

It is said that this palace was built in the previous dynasty, and its original purpose was because it was close to the imperial mausoleum, which was convenient for the emperor to rest after worshiping the ancestors.

Until Emperor Gao/Zu was in power, people brought hot springs from the mountains and built several soup pools. After that, successive emperors had the habit of coming here to recuperate in winter.

As early as the reign of the first emperor, Xiao Duo followed the first emperor to come here several times. After Emperor Zhang He succeeded to the throne, every time the empress came here, he would be invited to accompany him. Xiao Duo was not really interested in the Tangchi here, but I don't mind coming over to relax with Xiao Luo when I have free time, so I also came a few times. Empress Xiao simply asked someone to clean up the most secluded bedroom and give it to the Huai'an Palace, and even the servants in charge of cleaning were specially selected. Even the King of Huai'an himself can only come and live for a few days a year.

It was unavoidable to be a little tired after bumping all the way, so after entering the door, they went back to their rooms to rest.

Because he had slept in the carriage, Li Yan didn't feel much sleepy now. After taking a bath, he changed into a lighter and more comfortable robe, put on a fox fur, and took the little gray rabbit who had been suffocating on the carriage for a walk in the yard.

The closed courtyard door was knocked suddenly, and the guard at the door opened the door, and a young servant stood outside the door, and said timidly: "The empress ordered the servant to pass the message."

The guard looked back at Li Yan who was in the center of the courtyard. Li Yan glanced over the servant's face, bent down and picked up the little gray rabbit who was probing around, turned around and walked to the main hall: "I'll ask the prince for instructions."

"Let him in..." The door of the main hall opened suddenly, and Xiao Duo leaned against the door.Probably just after taking a bath, his face was flushed, his long wet hair was hanging over his shoulders, and was covered by a half-covered fur coat. In this weather, he was only wearing pajamas, but he didn't seem to feel cold. Seeing the servant approaching in trepidation, he said impatiently, "Just say what you want."

The servant stood at the foot of the stone steps, bowed his body, wished he could curl up into a ball, and said cautiously: "My lady said that maybe I got cold from the cold after soaking in the hot spring for a long time, and now I feel a little dizzy, so I can't share it with the prince." It's time for dinner, and I have already ordered people to bring the dinner directly from the palace later, so that the prince can take a good rest."

"The queen is ill?" Xiao Duo raised his eyebrows, "What about the Holy One?"

The servant didn't seem to expect that he didn't ask the queen but instead asked Zhang Hedi, he was stunned for a moment before replying: "Your Highness knows, Your Majesty will accompany you when your Majesty is sick."

"Hearing your tone, it seems that you have been serving the queen for a long time..." Xiao Duo narrowed his eyes slightly, "Why didn't this king see you before?"

"Young servant, I have been waiting outside the Hall of Concentric Minds before. A few days ago, the empress sent a few capable men to take care of His Highness the Crown Prince. There was not enough manpower in the palace. Seeing that the servant is quite clever, she brought her in..." said the servant The voice was lower, "The prince hasn't entered the palace these days, so naturally he hasn't seen any slaves."

"Speaking of which, looking at you does look familiar..." Xiao Duo raised his hand to gather the fur coat on his shoulders, "This king knows, you go back and spread the word first, and visit the queen after I change clothes. "

The servant heard the words and immediately raised his head: "Why don't you go there tomorrow, my lord?"

"Why?" Xiao Duo asked slightly, "Do you think that the queen is ill, and it is not appropriate for me, as an elder brother, to visit her?"

"Your servant doesn't mean that, it's just..." The maid hurriedly lowered her head, "Your servant just...just now the imperial physician has gone to ask for pulse, and now the empress may have rested, and my servant is worried that the lord's trip will be in vain."

"It's okay..." Xiao Duo waved his hand, "Go back and pass on the message first."

The servant seemed to be very entangled, but in the final analysis, he didn't dare to say anything to stop him, so he bowed and stepped back slowly.

Li Yan watched the servant disappear from sight, then turned around to look at Xiao Duo who was about to close the door: "Your Majesty, will you go there now?"

"Hmm..." Xiao Duo reached out and touched the little gray rabbit in his arms, "When the dinner is delivered, you can eat it yourself before Ah Luo falls asleep, so don't bother him."

"Okay..." Li Yan responded, and looked up at the sky, "Your Highness, take the umbrella, it's going to rain, be careful."

Xiao Duo paused while rubbing the little gray rabbit's hand, and rubbed it on Li Yan's head instead: "You should also be careful, I don't have time to take care of you if you get sick again."

After the words fell, he turned and entered the door.

The door of the palace was closed from the inside, leaving a soft sound in the silent courtyard. Almost at the same time, big raindrops fell from the sky, crackling and hitting the bluestone bricks, forming a rain curtain in an instant.

Li Yan stretched out a hand outside the corridor, and it got wet almost immediately.He withdrew his hand to look at the rainwater in his palm, wiped it casually on the hem of his clothes, touched the little gray rabbit in his arms, which was huddled up in a ball due to the vain rainstorm, and sighed softly: "It's also rare, it's so rainy in winter. It’s raining heavily, but I don’t know when the rain will stop.”

After saying that, he shook his head lightly, turned around and walked towards his room.

The sudden rainstorm is a trouble for everyone.

Although Xiao Duo, who had changed his clothes, listened to Li Yan's request and brought an umbrella, but under this kind of rain, the flimsy oil-paper umbrella could barely cover his face. It's half wet.

I don't know if it was because of the heavy rain or the queen was sick and needed to recuperate, there was no one outside the hall, Xiao Duo put away his umbrella under the corridor, nodded to the two accompanying guards, pushed open the hall door and went straight in.

It was dark outside the hall, and the inside of the hall was also dark, with only a few red candles emitting dim light, which made the hall even more deserted and decadent.

It was as if no one was in the hall at all.

Xiao Duo's gaze slowly turned from the inside of the hall, and finally stopped on the screen leading to the inner hall, raised his eyebrows slightly, and was about to walk over, when a flash of lightning suddenly pierced the sky, and the door behind him suddenly made a soft sound, The cold wind that envelops the outside opens and closes.

The moment Xiao Duo turned his head, he saw only a figure passing by in front of him, followed by a flash of cold light, and an icy long sword coming towards his heart, he turned sideways instinctively, trying to avoid the fatal blow, but Unexpectedly, the sword-bearer changed his mind halfway, flipped his wrist, and the sharp blade directly rested on his neck.

Xiao Duo stood motionless on the spot, slightly lowered his eyes to glance at his neck, the hand holding the sword was very steady, there was no slight trembling in this posture, and the angle of the sword was just right, it didn't cut his neck, but it also let him He couldn't take another step forward.

Xiao Duo slowly raised his eyes, looked at the drenched young man in front of him, and raised the corners of his lips: "I didn't know that Young Master Yun was also in the palace."

The author says:

You also know that I originally planned to write this part in one chapter, but I never thought that I would write [-] words before the showdown began, so I will update these before the showdown begins, and continue tomorrow showdown.
