Manchu civil and military bow down

Chapter 97: King Yan

After Xu He finished copying the volume of medical books, it was time to enter Yan Palace.

The night before entering the palace, Shu Li specially called him over and told him some things.

Shu Li said: "Before seeing King Yan, I will see my aunt first. You don't have to do anything, just stand quietly. My aunt has a bad temper, but she won't make things difficult for no reason."

Xu He nodded obediently.

Shu Li looked at him seriously, and smiled lightly: "You are so cute, aunt should also like it, don't worry too much."

Xu He smiled shyly.She bowed her head, but looked at her in her heart, Princess Yan is also a miraculous figure.According to his seniority, he should call Princess Yan an aunt.It's just that I grew up in the capital since I was a child, and I rarely have the opportunity to see him.I may have seen it when I was a child, but I have almost forgotten it now.

On the day of entering Yanwang Palace, go to the Buddhist hall first.In the early years, Princess Yan suddenly believed in Buddhism and became a vegetarian. Regardless of everyone's opposition, she insisted on building a Buddhist hall in the palace, and she stayed behind closed doors all year round.In front of the Buddhist hall is a simple and elegant small courtyard. There are two sweet-scented osmanthus trees in front of the courtyard. When you step into the courtyard, you can smell a faint scent of sandalwood.

Shu Li walked a few steps, still worried, tilted his head and told him repeatedly: "Don't talk too much, do you understand?"

Xu He was poked at the point of laughter by her, and pointed to his throat to indicate that he could not speak, why speak too much.

Shu Li was stunned for a moment, and then laughed after realizing it: "Look at me, I'm so worried, my mind is confused." She shook her head and said, "I haven't seen her for a long time, and I'm also a little uneasy." After that, she sucked it. Take a breath and move forward.

Now Princess Yan is resting in a side room in the courtyard.The light in the house was very good, the sunlight just passed through the window and fell on the ground. Princess Yan was sitting at the table, looking like she was copying a book.Wearing plain clothes with simple colors, the black hair is not tied up, and the flow is like water.

Hearing footsteps, she paused her pen and said, "Is Ah Li here?"

Shu Li straightened his back and called out, "Auntie."

Concubine Yan turned around from the table. She didn't wear makeup, and she looked very haggard, but her pair of red phoenix eyes gave people a sense of oppression.

With a faint smile, he asked, "Why haven't seen you for a long time, are you still estranged from me?"

Shu Li lowered his head and said softly: "No."

Princess Yan pulled her across from her and asked, "How have you been away these years?"

Shu Li: "Well, it's pretty good." She stared blankly at Princess Yan for a long time, and then asked the question in her heart: "Auntie, are you feeling unwell these days?"

Princess Yan: "Why do you ask that?"

Shu Li said: "My niece looks at you, it's not very good."

Princess Yan lowered her eyes and laughed. When she was young, she was flirtatious, but now she smiles a little softly. "It's just a bit of cold, it doesn't matter."

Shu Li pursed her lips and nodded, she was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to say.

As soon as Xu He entered this room, he obediently stood aside, treating himself like a mass of air, without the slightest sense of existence.Of course, Princess Yan didn't pay attention to him either.

Concubine Yan asked again: "Have you gone to see King Hades?"

Shu Li shook his head, "How is your lord?"

Princess Yan: "It's not very good. I've been sick for some time. The imperial physicians in the palace are all trash. After your grandfather resigned a few years ago, none of them can see. I'll just count on you."

Shu Li lowered his head in embarrassment: "Auntie has spoiled me."

Princess Yan smiled, "You can rest in the palace first and prepare your things. I will take you to see King Yan tomorrow."

Shu Li: "Yes."

Before leaving, Xu He took a look at Princess Yan's handwriting. She copied Buddhist scriptures, but she used a vermilion pen. It looked bloody and peaceful, but she wrote it in a hideous and terrifying way.

This aunt... is not as harmless as she appears.

After Shuli left the courtyard, he said, "I think my aunt is hiding many things from me."

Xu He thought, isn't it.

Shu Li frowned and stretched: "Forget it, one step is one step."

After returning to the room, Xu He took a pen to write on the paper, and asked Shu Li: What kind of person is Yan side concubine?

Shu Li was recording medicinal materials, but when Xu He interrupted him, he stopped writing, and said in surprise, "Why did you ask Concubine Yan?"

Xu He didn't speak, just staring at her with his eyes.

Shu Li's expression was a bit complicated, he sighed, and said: "I haven't seen it, but many old people in the palace say that the side concubine is a kind and gentle person." She then said: "Did you hear the rumor that yes Concubine Yan who was killed by Princess Yan?"

Xu He wrote: So is this true?

Shu Li shook his head: "I don't know. But she is a member of my Shu family, we share weal and woe, even if it is true, as the Shu family's prostitute, I will not oppose her, do you understand?"

Xu He wrote: I understand.

Shu Li said: "It's just that I don't want it to be her. I've always had a very ridiculous idea... I think that murder is a crime, and in the end, karma will eventually pay for it."

Xu He: This is not ridiculous.

"Really?" Shu Li laughed, his brows and eyes were crooked, and his dimples were red.

On the first night of staying in Yanwang Palace, Xu He couldn't sleep.Tossing and turning, sitting up, said to the system: "I suspect that Princess Yan is responsible for King Yan's illness."

The system doesn't understand these things: "Isn't there a saying in ancient times that husbands and wives will be gracious for a hundred days?"

Xu He rolled his eyes: "In ancient times, there was a saying that husband and wife are birds in the same forest, and they fly separately when disaster strikes."

The system choked: "I don't really understand you humans."

Xu He snapped his fingers: "Princess Yan wants to kill King Yan? Why, because of Bu Jinghong? Afraid that he would threaten Bu Jinglan's title, could it be said that King Yan intends to pass it on to Bu Jinghong?"

This is just a hypothesis, but the content behind it also shocked Xu He.If this is the case, Bu Jinghong's situation may be difficult.Without the protection of the King of Yan, there will be more than good luck in Yandi.

But his mission is to kill King Yan.

Headache.

On the second day, Xu He finally met King Yan as he wished. He acted as a dumb girl doing chores for Shu Li and followed behind Princess Yan.Princess Yan changed her clothes, put on some makeup, and her complexion improved a lot.

Xu He was in a very complicated mood, he didn't know what Princess Yan was thinking about King Yan.

Shu Li said that her aunt didn't sleep well one month before marrying King Yan.

She should have loved deeply before, but will she really be the killer in the end?

A group of guards stood guard outside King Yan's bedroom.

Entering the bedroom, the curtains are heavy, and the palace lights are faint.The season is gradually entering autumn, and the fire is flowing in July, and the wind kills people.The whole palace gave people a solemn and solemn feeling, heavy and depressing, and in the center of the palace, the man was dressed in a jade-colored robe, with a smile on his face, which seemed to be elegant and romantic.He seemed to be listening carefully.It's just that the distance is too far, they can't hear King Yan's words.

shit.

As soon as Xu He saw Bu Jinglan, he stood up in awe, more obediently and silently, behind Shu Li.He quietly stared at Shu Li's neck, and could see that she was a little nervous.

Bu Jinglan raised his eyes, saw Yan Wangfei, and said with a smile: "Mother Concubine."

Princess Yan nodded: "Jinglan, you have been guarding here for a long time, go down and have a rest first."

Bu Jinglan smiled slightly and said, "I obey."

Then he said to King Yan who was on the bed: "Father, my son will take his leave first."

King Yan didn't speak.

After Bu Jinglan left, Xu He secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Princess Yan led them closer, and King Yan leaned against the head of the bed. Even though he was sick and pale, his facial features were still handsome.He only looked at Princess Yan and didn't speak.

Concubine Yan ignored that gaze, and said to Shu Li, "You first feel the pulse of the prince."

Shu Li lowered his eyes: "Yes."

Yan Wang did not refuse.

Standing beside Shu Li, Xu He looked at King Yan curiously. King Yan's eyes were quite similar to Princess Eldest's. The pupils were pitch black, accounting for a large part of the eyes. The corners of the eyes sank slightly, giving a sense of depth.

And when he was looking at King Yan, King Yan also noticed his gaze, and glanced back at him in a blink of an eye, his eyes were extremely sharp.

to suffer.

Xu He immediately lowered his head.

King Yan didn't move away.

At this time, Shu Li had already checked the pulse for King Yan, with a dignified expression, hesitated for a while, and said respectfully: "My lord, when did your illness start?"

King Yan didn't want to answer, he was very perfunctory: "I don't remember, it's been a while." His words turned to Xu He, and his tone was cold: "Is she someone you brought back from outside?"

Shu Li never expected that Xu He would get King Yan's attention. In panic and astonishment, he glanced at Xu He and met Xu He's innocent and inexplicable eyes. "Yes."

"what is her name?"

Shu Li was taken aback for a moment, then bit the bullet: "Her name is He Xu, she is dumb."

King Yan closed his eyes and murmured softly, "He Xu, what a good name."

Xu He: "..."

Xu He asked the system: "Did he find me?"

System: "You ask me, I ask who, but King Yan has no intention of killing you now."

When Princess Yan led Shu Li down, King Yan suddenly opened his eyes again and said, "He Xu stay here."

Shu Li's face was pale, and when he turned around, his clear eyes were full of disbelief.

Xu He had almost resigned himself to his fate, forced a smile with her, and walked in.

Shu Li anxiously asked Princess Yan directly: "Auntie, why does she..."

Princess Yan was very careless about this matter, or in other words, she was absent-minded from the first moment she entered the bedroom, and said: "Let it be. Don't worry, nothing will happen."

Shu Li bit his lip, but there was nothing he could do.

Xu He bit the bullet and went to King Yan's bed again.

This afternoon, the clouds were heavy, and the light in the palace was dim. King Yan was not in good health, and coughed intermittently. After he recovered, his eyes fell on Xu He. It's that big."

Xu He: "..."

His heart was ashamed, and he called out: "Uncle."

King Yan said expressionlessly, "How has your mother been in recent years?"

Xu He was confused, pulled the corners of his lips, and said, "It's pretty good."

Yan Wang hummed, seemed to smile, and said: "Xu Zheng is the person she chose herself, and it seems that she did not make a mistake. Among the three of us, she is the only one with the purest mind, so she is the only one in the end. Benevolence."

Xu He laughed, too embarrassed to know what to say.

King Yan's eyes were clear, and he said: "I know that Brother Huang has been jealous of me for a long time, but I didn't expect that the person he sent here to find out the truth is actually you."

Xu He intuitively felt that he had misunderstood, but at this time, he still chose to acquiesce.

King Yan smiled again, sat up, his expression was very calm, and his tone was also very light: "You can reassure him when you go back. I shouldn't live long, one day, or two days."

Xu He was taken aback: "Uncle..."

Yan Wang said: "I left you here, that's not what I want to talk about."

Xu He: "Well, you tell me, I'll listen."

"That child Jinghong has a deep obsession with you."

Xu He: "..."

King Yan said: "I owe him too much, and now, all my compensations are meaningless to him. If possible, Xu He, I hope you can explain it to him even if you can't accept it. Come back from him Since then, I haven't seen him happy, and I found out that he still has something to do with you after investigating, so I beg you."

Xu He twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "...I'll try."

Roaring in my heart: But your son can't explain clearly at all!

King Yan smiled, his face suddenly changed, and he coughed violently again. The moment he lowered his head, Xu He saw a few strands of white hair on his temples.Under the faint palace lanterns, it was dazzlingly bright.In the empty Yanwang Palace, this spot of whiteness, like the snow quietly falling in the dark and unprovoked night, made Xu He feel chills all over his body.He didn't even dare to ask King Yan what disease he had.
